TOM HALPfN.

Long Tom Halpin, captain of the E. A. 4. spiked shoe brigade, is to let up on running foot races and run a garage. If he's as successful in one as he's been in the other he'll shortly make II. Ford look like 8 repairer of secondhand tricycles.
 For 8 long time Halpin has been some runner. He started running for his health at a. dim and distant era when his physical makeup re- the 56 pound weight.
 Since then he's run for Uncle Sam at the Stockholm OlympicS, for many a Hyde Park car. for the governors council and for cover when the Eng fish 4. A. 4. ungaHantly and unsI1c- cessfully challenged his amateur standing as he was touring Great Bri- tain on his way home from the 1912 Olynlpiad.
 Tom never did things in the high lufnp nor the broad jump. but, thanks to his automobile experience has a happy faculty of suddenly jumping rom first to third speed or the last lap of Q hard race, leaving his foes back in the also-ran land of dust and bad smell.
 We'll not race the struggles of our hero up from the limit handicap man to a worlds record holder Suffice that the Hyde park champion has been world indoor "44O,' '60O" and "I000'' yards record holder.
 If Halpin suddenly decides to go into the jewelry business, you'll know it's because there isn't any more room in thes Halpin homestead for the watches, clocks, rings, furniture, siI- verware, china. stickpins and other amateur tropilies he's won on the board or cinder path.
 In conclusion let it be said that Tom doesn't know any more about the strat- egy or running than EYers does about playing at second base He's as tfnlid as an unwilling hunger stricken wolf and is such clumsy runner that he can speed around the rim of a dime without disturbing a lock of Miss Lib erty's hair.

 For prosecuting attorney, T. G. Parham and J. M. Shaw, both Of !Plne Bluff, and H. H. Hays of Arkansas City. .,
 W. B. Sorrells is the present circuit fudge, having been appointed by Governor Hays to serve the unexplr- ed term of the late Judge A. B. Grace which does not terminate untl! No- verber, 1918. MT. Hunt was also candidate for the vacancy. and had strong endorsement for the position

for the Democratic nomination must run in the, March primary. The late Attorney-General Moose held this view. The late Judge A. B. Grace in terpreted the law differently. Judge Grace was of the opinion that it was net necessary for candidates for cir cult and chancery judges to become candidates in 1916, as they were elected in 1914 for four-year terms. However, it is known that it was Judge Grace's intention to enter the primary simply to avoid possible complication. and probably he would net have had opposition. The com mittee composed of w. B. Sorrells Capt. R. R. Rice and H. H. Hays called the primary to permit those who wished to enter to do so. and did not intend the action to ? be in terpreted as indicating the opinion that participation in the March pri- mary was necessary.
 Since that time, Judge w. G. Hen dricks of Little Rock has instituted suit to test the law and secure Q ruling by the supreme court to de eide the mooted question.
 Judge Scrrells and MT. Hunt have signed an agreement that if the su- preme court holds that the law does not mean that aspirants must become candidates in He 1916 elections neither will have his name on the ticket.

 Second the United States will not discuss new evidence or statements alleged to be facts, unless Austria shall first lay the basis for discussion by subscrlb- ing to the laws governing sub marine warfare as laid down by IllS SOV5IIllllcHt III llo iloIS' U" Germany.
 Third, that it would be re- versal of the proper procedure, and contrary to all legal maxims, to consider facts or evidence, old or new, unless the parties to the controversy are absolutely agreed on the principles of law in yolved.
 Fourth, the United States. therefore, reiterates it's demand for a disavowal of the act of the submarine commander in sinking the Ancona, and denunciation Of such a method of warfare.
 No Time to Express Regrets.
 It was stated today on good author ity that the United States will sa also that it appreciates the expres sions of regret contained in the Aus trian note, but regards them as II relevant at this stage of the proceed ings.t ~&~sAs '@ NN {.

 Decision Reached By Cabinet
Reply of Austrian overnm ent in Ancona Case Declar ed Evasive, and Firm No te Drafted to Be Sent
 Today-Army and Naval Officers Talk War.

the cabinet had begun it's session The note is about LOGO words long, The state department has not yet de- cided when it will make it public.
 After the adjournment of the cabi- net, officials of the state department began the preparation of this govern mcnt's reply.
 If is understood that the depart ment's draft was taken to the white house at half past six tonight, and that it may be on it's way to Vienna before tomorrow evening.
 How II. $. Would Strike.
 Army and navy officials have al ready considered the possibility of war between Austria and the United States.
 The best opinion among the experts is that the first move on the part of this government would be to send naval and military expedition to Saloniki. Some of the naval experts, however, said that the proper object i've would be AvlOna.
 It developed today that tho Austrl- an embassy is in communication Wlth the foreign office at Vienna, through the state department. Prince Alfred Zu Hohenlohe- e-Schillingsfurst, of the Austrian embassy, sent a communlca- ton in cipher today to the depart ment, which was immediately passed and allowed to be cabled to Austria. The general comment on the case was that it was repetition of the stage of the negotiations between Germany and the United States on the Lusl- tania. in which Count von Bernstorli' the German ambassador, took charge of the case personally, and was al lowed to send in the same way the American view and his view to ms home government.
 Compromise Probable. There is, every reason to believe that the cable message sent by the Austrian embassy expressed the mln- imum terms of the United States as obtained today from state department
 This Austrian activity has induced some high officials to believe thai when the Austrian embassy cable gram reaches the foreign office Bar on Zwiedinek, the Austrian charge will he instructed to continue the negotiations and bring them to the best possible compromise conclusion

 From German sources it has been learned that Germany is allowing large numbers of British subjects, in- termed or imprisoned in Germany, to return to England in groups. This is believed to be due to the seriousness of the food situation in Germany.
