Kerr considers the Arkansas on Wheels train the greatest and most effectual piece of advertising Arkansas has ever had. As an evidence of the results of the work done MT. Kerr reported that during the month of February alone, 127 car loads of new corners had been brought in on his line in Arkansas from Indiana. Illinois, Missouri and Iowa.

One of my little cousins is fond of cookies and got into the habit of ask ing the neighbors for them.

Of the Germans sojourning in italy for
the winter were returning because
spring was approaching and that others
unquestionably were influenced by the
belligerent attitude OF some of the ltal-
ian papers.
Government officials also denied re-
sponsibility for the movement of
German tourists from the Riviera.
They said the report from Nice that
Italian authorities had ordered Ger
mans out of the district was too alb
surd to discuss.
While the foreign office continued to
put the ban on all discussion of the ne
gotiations with Austria, government Of
ficials today reiterate previous state
ments that there is notnlng alarming
in the situation thus far. The attitude
of the government is still one of hope.
Emperor Francis Joseph's refusal to
cede the Trentino as compensation for
Italy's neutrality is now confirmed from
a Vatican source.
The Pope received in audience the
Austrian ambassador, who delivered an
autograph letter from the Emperor deal
ing with the negotiations with the Ital-
ian government and explaining the i'm
poss bility of making territorial conces-
After the audience the Austrian am
bassador Is said to have observed to
members of his encourage that the pros
poets of peace had dimin shed instead
of increased, and that the war threat
ened to extend until no European coun-
try would be left neutral.
Prince Won Buelow, despite the daily
increasing difficulties of his mission, is
determ ned to continue his efforts to Sc
cure Italys neutrality. AS the imme-
diate cession OF the Trentino Is impos-
sible, he now proposes that the province
should be occupied by Germany and
held until after the war. when 1t could
be ceded to italy, provided she had re-
mained neutral.
This proposal Is intended to guarantee
Italys neutrality throughout the war
but will. undoubtedly be rejected, for
even adm tting the Trentino wee con-
sidered sufficient compensation for neu-
trality, -the government Is determined
not to limit its future freedom Of ac-

TRANSPORTS TO Be
USED FOR COMMERCE
Commodities Likely To Be
Shipped From Philippines in
Army Craft.

Army transports may be used to ship
commodities from the Philippines to
, the United States. In this way the
, Government, defeated in its purpose to
form merchant marine. expects to
correct the effects of the European
war on the commerce of the Philip
pines. Although the President has not
formally given his approval to the plan.
1t Is expected that he will do so as the
result of a letter received by him today
from Secretary of War Garrison.
Calling attention to the fact that the
war had robbed the islands of practi-
cally all their shipping facilities. and
citing urgent requests from Governor
General Harrison that some relief he
devised. the Secretary said Ii had been
decided that the navy had no author
ity to permit the use of any of It's
cruisers as merchantmen. Also he con-
tinued. the Judge Advocate General or
the army had decided that the emer-
gency was not of such a character as
to permit private shippers to use army
transports.
The Secretary proposed, with the an
proval of the Judge Advocate General
that the Philippines government should
itself take over title to cargoes des-
tined for the United States, SO that the
War Department might look to tho
Philippine commission to reimburse II
for the service.
