STRUGGLE ON ALL FRONTS
AustrO.Germans and Russians Con.
 tinue Fighting; Few Advances.

Far weather on the Somme front in northern France has brought more vigorous activity in by the French British and German forces. The Brit ish in an attack in the Thiepval-Cour- celette area, London relates, have talk en the eastern part of the Regina trench on front of 1000 yards. The other portion of this trench wa, taken On October 21. Berlin admits a Brit ish gain northeast of Courcelett, but says only small portion of an ad- vanced trench was entered. Crown Prince Rupprecht failed in an attack against the French lines, near Denie- court. south of the Somme, Paris re- ports. Berlin says that French at tack in the Sailly-SaillT el sector was repulsed.

POLITICIANS BE-
 GIN TO HUSTLE
Making Preparations for General As- sembly; Many for Speaker.
 Good Roads Meetings.

Little Rock, Nov. 14.-fSpeciaD. = With the election over, and the ra ut definitely known, the politicians have begun the organizations of the General Assembly for 1917, and almost daily conferences are held in Little Rock. They know now who the members will be, and can start to work upon them in the interest of their candidates. The number of Republicans will pro- batly be larger than ever before, and the law which consolidatas elections is bearing the blame Thb! will no doubt bring about bill to repeal the consolidated cleo ion law, and should it pass, it will not go into effect until after the Brundidge primary bill is in operation. The friends of the election bill were with the primary bill in force they are not so much interested in the constellation of elections, and with it in operation, the candidate, need not he for it means that Democrats; will nominate men in the future who will command the entire support of their party.
 While the politicians are active qui e early, it is hardly probbale that any thing will be denitely determined until after the first of the year, for the Speaker of the House and President of the Senate have never been agreed upon before the week prior to the leg islative session.
 Will Have Good Roads Meet.
 A master good roads meeting is be- ing arranged to be held in Little Rock before the end of the pre@ent month This meeting will be held whether Constitutional Amendment Mo- If is adop ed, th:s meeting will prepare the Legislative act which will safeguard t, and see that the people get under it the relief they sought.
 Should the amendment not be adopt ed the road builders will prepare a bill to be presented to the legislature, which will have the support of all fac- tions, and which they hope will cause the con. truetion of roads in all sec tiOns of the stao. There is no doubt about the passage of such a bill, if it is presented, for the present road laws are wholly inadequate, according to the road enthusiasts.
 Judge J. s. Abercrombis of Benton, county judge of Saline county, is the pre- ident of both the Good Roads and County Judges associations, and he will probably call the executive com- mittees of 10th associations to meet with representatives of the Arkansas AsCc;at:ons of Motor Clubs, and otherl who are sufficiently Interested in the construction of good roads to attend the mee ing.
