George Blanchard is more en-
thusiastic about the Pine Bluff
future than men who have thousands
and thousands invested here. He's 4
man with vision that. extends
beyond the lone dollar immed ately
before the eye. 1t would be good
thing to assemble some of the Pine
Bluff timid and get Mr.. Blanchard
to tell them of opportunities of the
existence of which they are in ignor-
nncet Or which they ignore-opportun :
ties that have led Mr.. Blanchard to
invest his time and money in the Pine
Bluff territory Blanchard is not a
dreamer; he's a man with a good rec
ord of steady success.

WASHINGTON.

Officials point ont that the right Co coal at foreign ports is based almost entirely nn international comity and that treaty pledges in the present instance are not of nature to make the case entirely clear
 Great .Britains inability to guarantee bunker coal to any vessel not utilizing t in such way that British or alliec interests are benefited" was an nounced in statement today by the British embassy In the form of a memorandum drawn mp in London
 The general effect of this policy, of ficials believe will be seriously to en- harrass all independent American trade with non-allied countries
 The German submarine campaigns are believed here to be largely respon- sible for the new ruling their inroads on world shipping influencing the al lies tn consume vessels and fuel. Not only is there a shortage Of ships. but a desire to hold as few vessels as pos ille in carrying coal to various sta tons about the world

Senator owen. who made the motion, said he would press the bill al every possible opportunity. The Okla hOma senator referred to promises of cooperation given by republican sen ators just before adjournment last September when a futile effort was made to pass the bill. He called upon these senators to make good their words, declaring that mo republican can permit condition to endure which permits the highest legislative and ex- ecutive powers of the people to be con- trolled by the sordid use Of money on g large scale"
 Senator PenrOse introduced as an amendment to the Owen bill the old Force bill" defeated 2G years ago, which would give supervision of elec- tions to the federal government and prevent disfranchisement of negroes in the southern states.

 CHICAGO. Dec. 5.-Overtures to the republican party for a voice in the management of party affairs in return for progressive support were made to- day in a statement which followed a conference of C. II. Powell of Cali fornia. Clifford Pnchot. Raymond Robins. James R. Garfield, William A. White and Harold L. Ickes.
 Permanent progressive advance through the democratic party Is i'm possible, the statement says. in am nouncing that national conference of progressives and progressive repub- licans is to be called within four months in the hope of bringing about reorganization of the republican party.
 The first step toward providing progressive representation in the party. it was suggested. could best be brought about bv giving the present republican campaign committee the functions of the executive committed. The result of election has shown that only hope of victory for any political party in America lies in securing and retaining the support of the progressive voters. . the statement says 'In spite of cer- tain progressive achievements. tho merit of which we do not question, it is clear to us that permanent progress sive advance through the democratic party is impossible. We welcome the enactment of progressive measures by any party. But we are firm in the conviction that in the existing two party system constructive progress sivism may best be achieved through the republican party must be thor ouehly orogressivized in organization and leadership and principles"

 Measures affecting interstate com merce were introduced today by Sen dtors Underwood and Townsend but they probably will not be considered hy the committee this week. Senator nderwood's bill proposes to give the
 interstate commerce commission DOW CT to fix wages and hours of labor of interstate railroad employees and au- thority to act in such matters on its own initiative or on application of the nublic, the employees, or the railroads.
 Senator Townsend's measure would authorize investigation of railroad controversies including matters of wages, hours and conditions of em- ployment by a presidential commis- sion.
 If the senate committee continues to favor these measures it may in- fluence the investigation of general transportation problems now under way by joint congressional com mittee This investigation. members say. cannot be well concluded for q year and an effort may be made to concentrate now on bills already be- fore congress and postpone investiga- tion of questions of government own ership or more exclusive federal con trol until after adjournment next March.

LONDON, Dec 5.-The government crisis found a solution tonight. which up to the hour of its announcement was considered the least probable of practical alternatives. Herbert H. As quith resigned the premiership which he had held through eight stormy years of domestic and foreign history.

 No announcement regarding Bona Laws decision has been made, anl there are some doubts whether he will accept the heavy responsibility If he declines, il is considered certain that the honor will fall to David Lloyd- George. The continuation of the coali- ton cabinet. with some changes in its membership and the speeding up of the war management will be the polity in either event
 The Dremier's decision to resign and advise the king to summon Andrew Bonar Law to form a cabinet was taken after a day of extraordinary political excitement and activity There were constant comings and goings of the political leaders between Downing street and the various government de- partments. Mr. Asquith met several unionist leaders in consultation. includ- in~ Earl Curzon. Lord Robert Cecil. and the Earl of Derby
 Noticeable ahseniees from this con- ference were A. J. Balfour NAo is i'll; Andrew Bonar Law. J. Austin Cham berlain and Walter Hume Long.
 Later in the afternoon the premier met his supporters, including Niscount Grey Lewis Harcourt. Edwin S Mon taEue. the Marquis of Crewe. Reginald Mckenna, Walter Runciman. Lord Huckmaster. II. Samuel. Lord Readicg and Arthur Henderson. The meeting lasted far more than an hour and it is supposed that Mir.

 WASHINGTON. Dec. 5.-A prelim- mary reply from Germany to the re- quest for information concerning the sinking Of the British liner Arabia was cabled to the state department today by the American embassy at Berlin. IL said a submarine commander had re- ported attacking the ship believing her to be an armed transport. and asked that the Unitad States inform the i'm perial government of any evidence it might have about the incident and the character Of the vessel
 Secretary Lansing declined to com nent upon the communication further than to say that it added nothing to the information in the hands of the department II Is understood that the German request would be complied with. A similar situation exists in re- gard to the case of the British horse ship Marina. on which six American horse tenders lost their lives. and the character of which is in dispute.
