when the Russian stren..h should be centered to protect that part of the line, it is believed that the Ger mans planned to pick odt. weak place at some other poi1iS of the Russian defense and break through.
 That the Germans are determined to reach Warsaw, if possible, before the present battle ceases, Is the opIn- ion of the military authorities both here and on the fighting line

PLANTS TO BEAUTIFY
CANAL ZONE TOWNS
Horticulturist Supervising the
Work Endeavoring to Obtain
Cooperation Of Residents.

In connection with the landscape
work being done in the permanent
towns of the Panama Canal Zone, the
horticulturist supervising the work is
endeavoring to obtain the cooperation
of all residents in beautifying the
towns by means of plants. shrubs and
trees. He points out that no place in
the world offers better opportunities
for that purpose, as the climate of per-
ennial summer allows plants con-
tinuous development to more and more
attractive forms Tasteful planting,
he states, and proper community care,
will relieve the clustering newness of
new concrete town of Balboa. gradually
conceal it's angularity. and eventually
transform 1t into beautiful dwelling
place. delightful to live in.
AS the first step in this movement, the
supply department has recently begun
the propagation and distribution of Il
large variety of ornamental plants
These are furnished free. in reasonable
limits, to householders for outdoor
planting, while those for indoor use are
furnished at a nominal price.
The supply department is preparing
to put out greater variety of decora-
tive material than is now in evidence,
and to use plants of finer quality than
heretofore. The extent of this tendency
will be limited, however, 1t is declared,
by the response of the people and the
care taken OF the plants. 1t is not an
ticipated that the householders will
outdoor plants: their cooperation will
be of most service in protecting the
plants from destruction or abuse at
the hands of children and vandals.

BUG UNDER ANNEXATION CHIP AND NEGRO IN MU- NICIPAL WOODPILE TO BE STAGED AT FOREST PARK THEATER.
WARM SESSION EXPECTED
Curiosity to Hear Opposition Views Expected to Bring Out a Large Number of Citizens Who Attended Meeting M0n- day Night in Fourth Ward.

Whatever reason there is for opposition to the annexation of Pulaski Heights is expected to be revealed at a mass meeting called by opponents of the move ment, at Forest Park Theater this (Friday) evening.
 Alderman Trickett says a ne- gro in the woodpile will be re- vealed. Others promise to dis play a bug under a chip, and var rious attractive features will be provided to enliven the program.
 No chairman has been named for the meeting, and no commit tee has sent forth the call. It is explained that it will be simply meeting of neighbors, and af- ter the crowd assemblies an or ganization will be perfected and the case of the opposition pre- sented.
 Little Rock city officials will not attend, as they did at the Monday night meeting, but many citizens who favor annex ation will be present to hear what is said. If there is any scheme at work, they say they want to know about it. They will keep an eye open for the bug and nostrils keen for the mysterious black man.
 After a threshing out of the question tonight the issue will be clearly drawn for the cam paign to be waged between this time and the date of the special election.
 Every citizen of Pulaski Heights will have a vote on the annexation question and the privilege of casting his vote as he pleases.

A NOVEL FIRE.

Department stores and ware houses may have it all over the auto when it comes to size in making fireworks of themselves, but they have to hand it to the machine for spectacular effect and duration of exhibit. This was seen last Sunday afternoon on Prospect avenue when driv- CTS along the highway and occu- pants of street cars witnessed the burning of Freeman Cock rilPs fine car by the roadside on Horseshoe curve.
 Keep back" shouted some one from a safe distance as ma- chine after machine rambled up and slowed down to watch the red flames licking greedily over the cushions and varnish and tires, and on toward the gaso- line tank. It was this tank of gasoline that kept all corners at safe distance, and with eager eye and ear ready for the noise of the explosion, the spectators waited. On and on the burning continued. One tire blew up, and the flames, feeding on the rubber, reached higher. Then another tire and more flames. Everybody was sure the thun- derous explosion must soon come. But the old tank fooled them. Instead of creating a scene, she melted her solder and poured the gasoline in the road way. Then there was a fire, flames dancing up even into the tops of the tall pine trees, while the smoke made the peaceful scene look like a factory district. After the burning had subsided the train of vehicles on either side of the wreck took up it's course, leaving the auto alone to it's fiery glory. From first to last it burned four hours.
