 QUESTION OF HOURS
GERMANY IS MAKING FINAL EFF FORTS WITH AUSTRiA-ROME
 WAITS FEVERiSHLY.

Paris.-The Temps published 6 dis patch from it's correspondent at Romo who says the impression prevails there that Italy is on the eve of a supreme decision. The negotiations with Ans tria clearly have reached a critical stage. In German circle there is great depression. Every one now is convinced that Italy will not recede and that Austria cannot satisfy her demands.
 Rome, the correspondent continues, is waiting in feverish anxiety, as 1t is known that Germany Is making her last effort with Austria. No one hopes for any result from this desperate at- tempt and the breaking of the thread still holding Italy to the central pm- pfres is expected at any minute
 Prince von Buelow, the German am- bassador, visited the king of Rome
 The report was immediately cireu- lated that he was taking his leave This report is not confirmed.
 The cabinet at it's meeting decided to postpone the reopening of Par liament which had been set for May 12.
 Immediately after the meeting Pre- mier Salandra visited the king.

into Cypress Greeks Say Engineers.

Little Rock
 The states 5.000-acre convict farm at Cummins and the buildings on the farm, valued at s40,000, are threaten ed with serious damage from the cav ing in of the south bank of the Ar kansas river during the present high water, according to Capt. John T. Burkett, member of the Penitentiary Commission, who returned from Cuni- mins. So great is the danger that people in the Linwood-AubErn Levee district, which embraces a large tract on the south side of the river, are alarmed and conference of the Levee Board members and the peni- tentiary commissioners was held. The river threatens to break through the levee and to create a new channel through Lincoln and Desha counties into Cypress creek and its bayous, thus making a new mouth. according to Iron Mountain engineers, who recent ly. inspected the situation.
 The Penitentiary Commission sent of the United States engineers office in Little Rock, asking him to send representative to investigate. It is probable meeting will be called soon by Governor Hays at which engineers from the levee district. Iron Mountain engineers and Levee Board members will consult.

10 PROBE SINKING
 OF THE GULFLICHT
OFFICIALS WISH TO KNOW WHETHER SHIP WAS STRUCK
 BY MINE OR TORPEDO.

Washington. President Wilson discussed briefly with his cabinet the torpedoing Of the American steamer Gulfight off the Sicily Islands, but in the absence of a detailed report on the incident no policy was formu- lated.
 Messages from American Consul Stephens at Plymouth and Consul General Skinner at London added lit tie to earlier information Both were instructed to get complete statements from the ships crew and to gather such technical evidence as could De obtained hv an examination of the vessel
 Officials want to establish beyond doubt whether the vessel was struck by torpedo or mine Secretary Bryan declared that until these facts were known no predictions could be made as to the course of the United States.
 Thus far it is know definitely only that submarine was sighted by an officer of the Gulfight shortly before
 
 submerged immediately. No proof has been reported to stablish that this submarine attacked this ship or what it's nationality was. Nor is there posi- tive information available to show whether the Gulfiight flew the Ameri- can flag at the time, or what colors were shown by the two British patrol boats said to have accompanied her.
 To enable the German government to present any information it may have, Secretary Bryan explained that an inquiry has been directed to Am bassador Gerard. This. he said. should not be construed as implying that the United States assummed that a German submarine had attacked the Gulflight.

IT IS THOUGHT GERMANY WANTS AMERICA TO HOLD MuNl-
 TiCNS OF WAR.
SEEK SOME INTERPRETATION
President Says He Wants to Be Cor tain Whether German Government
 Will Continue Friendly.

Washington.-What action the Unit cd States will take as a result of the sinking of the Lusitania, with the loss of more than a hundred American lives, is undecided.
 Only the presidents most intimate advisers know of the complexities of the problem before him It not only concerns the attack on the Lusitania, but series of incidents indicating a period of strained relations with dermany for many weeks.
 The president has watched with his disapproYal, it is known. the con- plaints of the German officials with regard to questions of neutrality and the efforts to array GerrGan-Ameri. can sentiment against the Washing ton administration as a means Of urging an embargo on munitions of war ag2inst the allies
 At first the German government ad- lnttted that there was no yiolatioon Of international law in the sale by private individuals of munitions of war. When the German ambassaoor Tn memorandum practically accused the United States government of not being neutral in the question of per hitting shipments of munitions. the president was amazed
 The sinking of the American steam CT Frye, the attack on the FaIaba. which caused the drowning of an American citizen, Leon c. Thrasher. the wreeking without warning os the American tank ship Gulfight, the dropping of bombs on the American steamer Cushing and finally the torpe. doing of the Lusitania, constitute q series of incidents which the preei dent is trying to interpret.
 He wants to be certain whether they range themselves in order to cause grave climax of carefully planed policy of histolity to the United States or whether the sequence is cas. ual and the German government de. slres to continue friendly relations with the Washington government.

Suit to prohibit further payments from the common school fund for the aid of high schools will be filed in the Pulaski County Chancery Court, according to State Senator W. O. Ed mondson of Mountain View. The suit will allege that the "state aid" act, under which the payments are made, IS unconstitutional It will ask that the auditor and treasurer be enjoin- ed from issuing and paying warrants for this purpose.
 It will be alleged the state aid law violates the following sections of the constitution: "No money or property belonging to the public school fund, or to this state, for the benefit Of schools or universities, shall ever be used for any purpose other than for the respective purposes to which it belongs
 No tax shall be appropriated to any other purpose nor to any other district than that for which it was lev ied''
 No money shall be drawn from the treasury except in pursuance of specific appropriation made by law the purpose of which shall be distinct ly stated in the bill, and the maximum amount which may be drawn shall be fixed in dollars and cents. and no appropriations shall be made for a longer period than two years" (Sec- tions No. and No. of Article No. IA, and Section No. 2S of Article No. 5.)
 Senator Edmondson alleges it is necessary for each legislature to ap- propriate for state aid even though it should be established that the law does not violate the other two sec tions of the constitution The state aid act, passed in 1911, provides that $50 100 out of the common school fund shall be used each year to pay the tuition of pupils who live outside district supporting high school At tempts to repeal the law were made in 1913 and 1915, Senator Edmondson ieading the fight in the last session. Tie repeal bill passed the house, but was defeated in the Senate. Tho State Board of Education will meet May 15 to apportion the fund to the high schools.
