Civic Leaders Make Stirring Addresses at Chamber of
 Commerce Smoker.
COMMITTEES START
 FINANCIAL CANVASS
That Organization Is Absolute Neces. sity fer Continued Growth of City Is Substance of Talks by Men
 Of Many Pursuits.
Bankers, lawyers. doctors. whole

Bankers, lawyers, doctors, whole sale merchants, retail merchants 1 clerks, and all classes of Pine Bluff 1 men crowded the spacious dining ] rooms of the Hotel Jefferson last night, in attendance upon the smoker and get-together" rally by the Cham. Der of Commerce.
 Optimism prevailed, and enthusiasm l was expressed in each of the several talks that were made by representa- tives of the several interests which make up the city. President N. J Can't, Jr., of the Chamber of Com merce presided, and the speaking be- gan after the viands had been en- joyed and cigars were lighted.
 Calling the meeting to order, Pres- ident Can't stated that the smoker had been arranged, so that everybody might know exactly what relations eX- isted between the Chamber of Con- merce and the many principal inter- ests of the city. Representatives of each of those interests which help to build cities, he said, would make ad- dresses, and the program would beg'n with an address by w. F. Coleman, on ''The General Influence of the Cham Der of Commerce"
 MT. Coleman's talk put everybody in excellent humor for the evening. He briefly called attention to the ac- complishments of past years of the organization, among them the packing plant, soon, perhaps, to be put in op- eration: the dredgeboats to maintain a. channel in the river: the extensive repairs and improvements at the de- pot, being the most recent achieve ments. He stated that without a Chamber of Commerce, any city IS known as a back number. The or ganization serves as g clearing house for the interchange of ideas among the business men and people general ly. and especially as a means whereby officials of the government can ascer- tain easily the wishes of the people He urged that every effort be made to maintain the organization, that every body pull together, to the end that the Chamber of Commerce be more sue cessful this year even than II Has been in the past.
 of YOU don't talk Pine Bluff, cer' tainly Little Rock is not going to talk it for you," was the keynote of the address made by Rev. Marion Nelson W.aldrip, pastor of the Lakeside Meth. odist church, whose subject was the relation of the Chamber of Commerce to the "Mcral Uplift." "Blow you horn. and don't use a hammer lo1 knocking purposes" he said, taKlht his cue from the presence or io of horns in the dining room. MT Waldrip made good use of anecdote. to stress the points he made, and nat

Kaiser Sees Troops Drive French from Plateau
 Near Soissons.
FRENCH LOSE MANY
 MEN AND CANNON
In Central Poland. Germans Succeed After Four Attacks in Two Days in Driving Russians Back, Occupying
 Two Important Positions.

London, Jan. 1;.--Furious fighting in Central Poland in which the Ger mans after four attacks in two days have forced the Russians back and occupied considerable territory, and a brilliant attack on the heights Of Vregny. conducted under the eyes of the kaiser. marked a day decidedly favorable to the Germans. In the Soissons fight the kaiser's troops
 took 3150 prisoners, eight heavy guns. one revolving gun, six machine guns and much other war material
 The attack was made, according to the Berlin statement in pouring rain and sodden clay. Trench after trench was taken, says Berlin, the fighting continuing until after dark. The French finally were driven to the edge of the plateau, which, the German war office calls, a brilliant
 feat under the very eyes of the up-
 permost war lord"
 Between Crouy and Missy, along the Aisne, the French were forced by the high water of the Aisne, which,
 between these points, has broken ] from it's banks, to withdraw from their positions on the north bank and
 establish themselves on the southern side.
 The reason for their withdrawal, ] as given by the French war office
 was the French commanders desire to protect his line of communication
 which the flood threatened to de- l story. The French retained the bridge heads on the north bank oi
 the stream, making possible their re- Iturn to their former position when
 the floods subside.
 The German claim of victory on
 the heights of Vregny, is admitted in the French official statement issued in the afternoon, the communication
 simply saying:
 "In front of Vregny we wero oblig- ed to yield"
 But where the Germans clim gains, the French assert they were able to maintain their lines intact in the severe engagement localized in the region just to the north of Crouy, on the road leading from Sos- sons to Loan. On the center in Poland at the :unction of the Bzura and Rawka rivers, where the fighting has been l in progress for more than a month
 the German activity centers along a 1 line to the east of SOchacezw and 1 SkiernieWiZ. i Following furious artillery ac-
 tion, the Germans occupied the dis

STABBING LANDS
LOVER IN JAIL
Sidney Baker Is Charged With Cutting
Peter Jarvis in st. AL
bans.

st. Albans, Sept. l5.-Sidney Baker,
about 25 years old, is in the Franklin
county Jail as the result of stabbing
affray last evening in which Peter Jar
Wis, about AZ years DID, received two
long gashes across his shoulders and a
cut on his right arm from hunting
knife with which, it is alleged, Baker
did the slashing. The cuts are not deep
and are not expected to prove serious.
The trouble started, it is claimed, over
Jarvis daughter, Elizabeth, Bakers
sweetheart. Baker has been paying at
tention to Miss Jarvis for over two
years and it is said that they were in
tending to be married shortly, the girls
mother offering no objection to the
match.
Jarvis, however, objected to his pros
pective SON law and last Sunday night
when his daughters lover called at the
house there was trouble. Baker called
last night to see~Miss Jarvis and carried,
it is said, hunting knife in his belt.
The dispute was renewed, with the re-
suit that Jarvis was cut.
Miss Jarvis was overcome by the ac-
tions of her lover and the latter carried
the young woman to the veranda of the
house, where he was arrested by the po-
lice, Doctors attended the girls father.
Both men are employed in the shops Of
the Central Vermont railway.
