Flood Nla!yStop.
Supply Of Gas
For Ten Cities
HIGH WATERS OF RED RIVER
BREAKS LINES LEADING
H INTO ARKANSAS.
NO REPAIRS ARE POSSIBLE FOR
THREE WEEKS UNTIL WA
TIERS REcEDE.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, May 3.-With
one pipe line across the Red river al
ready broken virtually cutting off the
city's supply and the other line threat
ened, officials of the Arkansas Natural
Gas Company feared flood conditions
would result in gas famine in ten
Arkansas cities for perhaps three
weeks. Should the remaining main
break the following towns would be
without gas: Hot Springs, Pine Bluff,
Benton, Malvern, Guerdon, Hope, Pres
colt, Arkadelphia and Sheridan.
No repairs can be made to pipe the
line, it is said, until the Red river
recedes to normal, which is believed
will not be for three weeks.
The gas is supplied from the Cacdo
field In Louisiana. 8

lSpfclAl correspondent OF AiE AIlD-AlN-l
Paris, Feb 27.-The French Academy
will soon have new word on record in
its dictionary, for the French soldier
in the field is no longer nicknamed "le
piou-piou," but "le poilu," meaning the
unshaven soldier in the trenches. The
newly coined word has won universal
popularity at the front and in Paris,
where some very highly amusing the
atrical sketches and revues, containing
illusions to lie poilu," are now staged.
The most successful Of these is Les
Huns ct les Autres," by two Mont
msrtre dramatists, Lucien Boyer and
Dominique Bonneaud. The first act
deals with the mobilization, the second
with Paris under the Taubes, and the
third with the trenches. The tragedian
de Max plays the part Of the familiar
poet Of the Montmartre cabaret, lie
Lapin Agile" and recites stirring
patriotic ode about the Kaiser, scoring
huge success.
Then come the death and burial Of
the green-visaged Nine. Absinthe, and
a superb Attila, King OF the Huns, who
Is furious because the Kaiser is being
constantly compared to him. Attila is

Eyewitness Belittles
Damage at Dardanelles

Berlin via London), Feb. 27.--The
Constsntinople correspondent OF the
"Berliner .Tageblatt," who witnessed
the bombardment Of the forts at the
entrance to the Dardanelles by the
British and French fleets, sends a dis
patch, dated noon, February 26, as fol-

-Four hostile warships appeared at S
o'clock this morning before the en-
trance, but the fire against the outer
forts WAS weak The eRemy's mine

sufragette Takes Train
Out of German Gun Range

London. Feb. 27.-One of the most
unusual stories Of the war, IN
which q suffragette was the hero
inc. is being told in suffrage circles
here. She was helping to place the
allied wounded on a train at point
on the western front when the
Germans found the range and shells
began TO fall so near that the an
inhalation of the train was threat
ened. Both the engineer and IRE
man were injured, and no one there
WAS able to move the train. when
the sufIragette, who was an expert
chauffeur. announced that she could
do so. suiting the action to the
word and running the train to
place of safety, where another crew
was obtained to run the engine.
There Is a sutfragette hospital at
Boulogne. and the men receive such
excellent care that IL 10 alleged that
all the patients become reconciled
TO the cause before leaving. When
the British did not accept the hos
pltal OFFER an offer was made to
the French. who did so immedi-
| ately. II may. however. soon be
Transferred to the British, who nov
/ are aware OF it's value.

AIR WAR TROPHIES
NOW In INVALIDES
Captured Planes Flank
Statue of Napoleon at
French Museum.
Try Gable 10 The Tribune. J

Paris, Feb. .27.-To the collection of
war treasures IN the Museum of the
Invalides there now have been added
number Of trophies taken by the French
on the battlefield in 1914. Guns and
standards taken from the enemy always
have been there, but the old palace never
has sheltered, until this day, specimens
of the aircraft which are playing such
a prominent role in modern warfare.
At the feet OF the enormous statue Of
Napoleon in the uniform OF the French
guard, which dominates the Court of
Honor, are two aeroplanes; on his left,
q Taube captured in the Mouse dis
trict, and on his right a French BIZ
plane, which made 100 fights between
August and December "a, and has
been perforated by more than 400 rifle
and shrapnel bullets.
In the gallery at the other end of the
courtyard are remnants of Zeppelin No.
3, brought down by French troops az
Badenville on August p. These demon
strate the extraordinary thinness and
lightness of the metal used in the con-
struction of Germany's aerial mon
sters.
In the courtyard, amid the trophies
OF many campaigns between the Pen
insula and Madagascar, are now placed
twenty-four German 77-centimetre field
pieces taken in action, couple OF
l05-centimetre mortars and some ma
chine guns, with deliberately chased
barrels bearing the double device:
Ultima Ratio Regis" and "Pro Gloria
ct Patria" and the Kaiser's monogram,
Nv. r." incircled in laurels. These are
objects of great interest especially to
military visitors.
Some of them have been knocked
about and stand as mute witnesses of
many sanguinary struggle. Others
are so new and unsecured that they
might have come straight from Krupp's
works
In one Of the halls is very complete
collection of German shells Of various
shapes and sizes, including great
masses of metal hurled by Jack John
sons" and coal boxes" Every death
dealing implement used by the Ger
mans is represented in the museums,
from Uhlans' lances TO darts dropped
by airmen.

Threats Of being torpedoed by Ger

Captain Passow Of the st. Paul. an

Captain Passow explained that his
confidence would not lessen precau-

a similar view, sent the vessel out of
port with the word "St. Paul" painted
in four-foot letters on the port and
starboard sides, near the bow.
The skipper said when he got of the
Irish coast he would crowd on every

Although precaution has always been
observed with the departure of the

usual care was taken yesterday TO see
that no baggage was taken aboard
