AUSTRIAN NAVAL BASE FORWARDED
 BY THE ITALIANS
Arsenal at Pola Said to Have Been Fired by Bombs
 From .Dirigible.

Rome, May 31.-An air raid on Pola, a torpedo flotilla on the Austrian shipyards at Monfalcone, and import ant artillery and infantry attacks on land and on the Trentino frrontier marked the opening of Italy's second week in the war.
 The official statement issued to- night says:
 "An Italian dirigible flew over Pola at 6 o'clock yesterday evening. and bombarded the arsenal, the railroad station. oil reservoirs and naptha boats in the harbor. All the bombs exploded. The arsenal was set afire. The dirigible was fired upon by anti aircraft guns, but escaped.
 "This morning a torpedo boat flo- tilla bombarded the Monfalcone ship yards The flotilla's commander re- ports that heavy damage was inflict- ed. Barges laden with flour were sunk The foltilla returned without being damaged, despite fire from coast batteries"
 B0zen in Jeopardy.
 The Italian forward movement is progressing along the entire frontier. ln the Trentino district the advance on both sides of the Adge river has reached a point that places Bozen in jeopardy. The threat against this Austrian stronghold is intensified by the progress of an Italian column across Tonale pass, from the west, and another column operating by way of the La Varone plateau. The ltal- ian forces have advanced all along the zigzagged Tyrolean front, until one wing rests at Courtina. This city. situated 90 miles due east of Bozen, is of importance from military stand point in that it commands the famous Dolomite road, which extends to Boz en and gives command of the entire Dolomite Alps.
 The distance from Courtina to Boz en is only trifle more than 90 miles, and the road is in good shape.
 Within the week military forces at the command of the government have been increased by the enlistment of more than 100000 volunteers. In this connection, the Geneva Tribune states that the Austrian forces confronting the Italian advance in the north and east have been augmented by rein forcements until they number 65O,OOo men and 70 batteries.

French Charge Forward, Driving Germans from
 Stronghold near Souchez.
RUSSIANS SPLIT
 OPPOSING FORCES
AustrO. German Drive on PrZems S1 Is Brought to Sharp Halt by Fresh Russian Successes, Following Re.
 sumption of Offensive by Slavs.

London, May 31.-Fighting from trench to trench, with the Germans bitterly contesting every foot of their advance, the French pushed forward still today in the region aound Neu- veile. St. Vaast and between Souchez and Caency.
 The most violent fighting occurred in the battle for the possession of the Malon mill, on the CarencySou chez road. After terrific fight, the French captured not only the mill, but extended thelr advance, over- whelming and taking all the German trenches between the mill and the Souchez sugar factory Fifty German prisoners remained in the hands of the attackers.
 This sugar mill at Souchez has been hold stubbornly by the Germans for the past two months, and this is the nearest approach to it that the French have made since they started their drive in this section.
 Fierce fighting continues in the region of the labyrinth, the honey combed system of earthworls which the Germans have heavily fortified to the southeast of Neuvelle. After re- pulsing German attack today, ac- cording to the Paris report received tonight, the French made good the po- sitions captured yesterday, despite the furious bombardment maintained by the German batteries. No infantry counter attacks were attempted by the Germans.
 The German report on these opera tions merely says that the French attempted to break through the Ger man lines in this sector, but gives no results.
 La Pretre wood and it's outskirts continue to be the center of activity on the right of the allies line. Ar tillery duels and minor infantry ac- tions are reported from there.

 Wonderful car, wonderful tires anu a very wonderful man.

WORK ALL NIGHT 10 PREVENT BANK
 OF RIVER CAV|NG
Ruil3.ng Embankment of Sandbags at Tennessee St.
 to Pr otect Homes There.

City Engineer Frank Allen and Street Commissioner Leonard Carver, with large force of workmen and the city prisoners spent of all yester- day afternoon and nearly afl of the night in building an embankment of sand-bags to protect the rip-rap work at the foot of Tennessee street.
 City Engineer Allen perceived yes terday afternoon that when the flood waters began to recede, there woulG be danger that a channel would bt cut across the jutting point, the rip rap work destroyed and thereby the protection to the bank at that r.lace and perhaps the entire point would be gradually undermined, and caving en- sue. About 15 houses are located or the land, and to protect these the city forces are working energetically.

Head of American Nation, with People Behind Him,
 Begins on New Note.
BERNSTORFF ASKS
 FOR A CONFERENCE
Will Meet President Wednesday, and Belief Prevails He Has Some Dec. IaratiOn to Make on Behalf of
 His Cove rnment.

Washington, May 31.--President Wilson has begun the rough draft of his reply to the German note Those in position to understand the situa- ton, declare that the president is preparing to re-affirm his attitude toward Germany in even more posi- tive language than that which he used Tn the first note.
 The German ambassador, Count von Bernstorff, made an addopnt- ment today to nave conference with President Wilson on Wednes- day. He called at the state depart ment carly today to make the sp- pointM ent. Nt is, therefore, not at all likely that the president will put his reply in definite shape until after the conference with the ambassador. Count von Bernstorff may have some important declarations to make to the president from his home govern ment. The fact that the ambassador reasons fo rthe hope that the pres ent tension might be eased as re- suit of the Wednesday conference.
 The view entertained by officials is that Germany must either Wield to the facts as ascertained by the president present conclusive evi- dence from her own resources or produce crisis.
 1t is pointed out that the president in his last note declared he would | "omt no word or act" that would guarantee the rights of the United States. Those who discussed this import ant part of the presidents note said his coming reply would exhaust the word" that could be said on the subject, and that the act or acts re- ferred to by the president will de- pend upon the rejoinder of Germany.

Widely Known and Esteem ed Citizen Expires at ]
 A. M. After Long Illness.
SPENT A OF HIS
 v YEARS IN CITY
< Native of Tennessee, General kn0X's the South and Pine Bluff, and His
 Death Will Be Widely Mourncd.

General Richard M. Knox died at 1 o'clock this morning.
 That General Knox has been at deaths door for some days past has been kncwn to the members of the family and their close friends. bnt despite that fact, the news of his death will come as shock to hun dreds O. Pine Bluff people this morning.
 Almost continuously since he cele- brated his seventy-seventh birthday anniversary in April last, General Knox has been confined to his bed at his home in West Sixth avenue. Prior 10 that time, he had suffered several attacks from which he had rallied, and he had looked forward to a continuance ot his labors at the Citizens bank with so manifest en- thusiasm that it was felt he would recover his strength and former health.
 The rather recent death of q brother in Mississippi appeared to bring General Knox to a clearer realization of his own advanced years, especially as one after another of his brothers passed away until only one survives.
 His very long residence in Pine Bluff, his prominence in commerciai and financial circles here for more than a third Of a century had served to make hin- personally known to representatives of all classes of citi zens in Pine Bluff and in the country iyNSr J 1,1 T lic tance.
 General Knox was an unusua::y active member of the Confederate veterans, having anticipated with some pleasure his trip to the reunion this year at Richmond, after having previously attended twelve consecu- tive previous reunions Of the organi- zation. He had served two terms as brigader general commanding the Arkansas division, and was a mem- Der of tfe J. Ed Murray Camp, U. c. W, of Pine Bluff. He WIS also a member of the Blks lodge Of this city.
 Five Brothers in Southern Army
 Richard M. Knox was born in Milan, Tenn, April 25, 1888, and moved to Sardis with his parents in 1S47 At the beginning of the civil war, he and four brothers, the late John Knox Dr. N. T. Knox, J. P. Knox and the only surviving brother w. 1T. Knox. entered the Confederate army and all served throughout the war, Richard M Knox without re- ceiving wound of any kind during the four years of struggle and pri- vation. The youngest brother, the late Samuel Y. T. Knox was too young to join the army. Richard M. Knox served most of the time in the First Mississippi cavalry under Gen. eral Nathan Bedford Forrest.
 lAt the end of the war, General Konx went to Memphis and was with the Rice-Styx Dry Goods company until July, 1871. when he moved to Pine Bluff and entered the mercan- tile business which he operated for 34 years, retiring from active busi ness about 10 years ago. General Knox was one of the

RAID LONDON; DETAILS
 ARE SUPPRESSED
Warning to Papers Inter preted as Indicating Air
 ships Did Great Damage.

London, June 1.-Zeppelins -essed over the outlying districts of London last night, according to official an- nouncement made by the press bureau shortly after midnight.
 "Zeppelins were first seen near Ramsgate," says the press bureau an nouncement, "and in certain outlying districts of London. Many fires were started, but these cannot be connected absolutely with the airships' visits"
 Ramsgate is on the Kentish coast, nearly 70 miles southeast of the me- tropolis.
 The press bureau appends the fol- lowing note to it's bulletin: Further particulars will 'be is sued as soon as collected and collat- ed."
 The bureau then reminds the news papers of London in further warn- ing that mo statement must be pub lished dealing with places in the neighborhood of London reached by aircraft or the course supposed to have been taken by them.'
 It adds that "the admiralty, in a communique, will give all the news which can properly be published"
 This intimation is published to ex- plain the absence of more detailed re- ports.
 From the above, which was all the censor would permit to pass to the cables up to late hour. it would appear that the long dreaded Zeppelin raid on London had occurred and that the British admiralty is making every effort to minimize the alarm.

Rl7SSIANS HALT TEUTONS.
Slays Take Offensive Claiming Great Gains.

London, May 31.-The Austro-Ger- man drive on Przemysl and l4empurg is menaced by fresh Russian sue cesses on the San, according to OIL cial dispatches received here tonight.
 Fierce fighting continues at nearly every point of contact on the 200 mile front. The Russians, after thelr lm- tial success at Sieniawa, have taken the offensive in several sectlons. anu Petrograd tonight reports that these movements are proceeding satlsfactor- fly. ,..,,
 Berlin and Vienna today have little +o say on the Galician situation. Ber- lin states that on Sunday German troops pressed forward to the nortn and northeast of the fortress and that elsewhere in the eastern theatre tnere is nothing of importance to report.
 / Vienna minimizes the Russian claims to success along the San by stating that neither on the rlVer HOT east of it did serious fighting occur
 Petrograd, however, relates at con siderable length story Of success along the San. From Siennlawa' where last week the Third Caucasian corps drove the Germans back. the Russians now claim to have cleared the right bank of the river as Tar south as the mouth of LubaczoWka river.
