WELL KNOWN LITERARY
 MAN FROM ST. LOUIS

Little Rock, May 5.-Robertus c. Love, one of the best known literary men of St. Louis, has been in Little Rock several days. For a number of years he has been on the staff of the St. Louis Republic, writing special ar ticles and a column of verse and com ment that has attracted muct atten- tion. He has severed his connection with the Republic, and accepted the position of publicity agent of the Mis- souri & North Arkansas railroad, with headquarters at Harrison. He expects to visit Little Rock frequently, and has been invited to deliver an address at the annual meeting of the Auth ors' and Composers Society of Arkan- sas at its second annual banquet, on June 13.

GERMAN NOTE NOW
 ON WAY TO AMERICA
German Official Says Great Mass of People in His Country De- sire to Avoid a Break With the United States.

Washington, May 4.-Germany's manifesto of February 8 on the prin- ciples in which press dispatches from Berlin indicate the imperial govern ment adheres in it's reply to the Amer ican note is assumed by officials of the state department to be the memor- andum of that date declaring that in the future all armed merchant ships of belligerent nationality would be considered warships subject to attack without warning.
 lp spite of Secretary Lansing's flat refusal to discuss the contents of dispatch received today, it became known late today that in view of such information as had been received of ticial and unofficial, officials of the government fear that Germany has attached conditions to her reply that will make it impossible for the United States to continue diplomatic rela- tions.
 In memorandum prepared by Pres ident Wilson and made public a few days after the dispatch of the last note to Germany, Secretary Lansing restated the American attitude toward armed merchantmen, declaring they should be considered and treated as neutral vessels if their armament was used for defense only.
 While officials would not comment on the Berlin reference to the mani festo of February 8, they reiterated that the president was prepared to stand unalterably by the position talk en in the last note. The note which was designed to permit no argument, gave notice that unless Germany i'm mediately declared and effected an abandonment of submarine warfare against passenger and freight carry ing vessels, the United States could not do otherwise than to sever diplo- matic relations.

 That is the question that is now

 You are hereby advised that the Aarter of this company has expired N Imitation, and that at the expira- tm of thirty days from this date it will discontinue business as a common arrier and all it's tariffs will be re- oked"
 But Commissioner Mcknight was not so sure about that. He questions he right of a railroad company to xmmarily cancel it's tariffs after it has had the benefit of their operation for a term of years. He has referred he question to Attorney General
 Davis. The records show that the harter was issued May 13, 1904, for term of ten years. In his letter to the Attorney General, MT. Mcknight Sys:
 The Commission wishes to be ad Ised as to its powers to consider fur her control over the rates on this ne It is the opinion of the writer hat the line does not contemplate dscOntinuing its trains, but merely tssires to evade rules and regulations q this commission.

GERMANS ARE RE-
 PULSED BY FRENCH
Germans and Russians Indulge Tn Heavy Fighting on Eastern Front, While Italians and Aus trians Busy Around GOrizia.

London, May 4.-The curtain of fire of the French has set at naught an- other German attack launched against trenches which the French recently captured at Dead Mans Hill. This engagement, characterized as a small one, has been the only fighting by in- |fantry on the French front. The big lguns have not ceased activity on var ious sectors. A violent bombardment is reported in the vicinity of Hill 304, northeast of Verdun.
 The Germans are still throwing shells in great numbers against ks kull bridgehead of the Russian east ern front. There also had been d heavy artillery duel between the Ger mans and Russians south of Krevo.
 The usual bombardment and isolat- ed infantry attacks are in progress on the Italian front.
 The turks started two offensive movements against the Russians, one against Baiburt and the other in Erzingan. Both were repulsed, ac- cording to Petrograd. The German general, Lyman von Sanders, is su- perintending the concentration of Turkish troops in north Smyrna and defense measures for Turkeys Asi- attic coast.

EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY SOLE
 LY WITH GOVERNOR RESTS

Little Rock, May 5.-With refer ence to criticisms that have recently been made of the governor for the granting of certain pardons, in Craig head, Union and Washington counties especially, the governor says that he is given exclusive power and author ity, and that there is no tribunal or official given jurisdiction to question his acts. Executive clemency is vest ed solely in him, and he may grant pardons even without the formality of petitions if he wishes to do so. While all the facts of the Paragould case have not been officially laid be- fore the governor he says that Eugene Siggers, the man whom he pardoned, is certainly free man, whatever the circuit court may say about it. He predicts that there is no sheriff who would take the risk of ignoring 2 pardon issued by the governor, and incarcerating a man for the offense from which he had been pardoned.

Note Passed by Germany.

Berlin, May 1.-The reply to the American note on submarine warfare is believed to have been handed to Ambassador Gerard this afternoon. Considerable perturbation is expressed over the effect concessions may have on opinion here. Dr. von Bethmann- Hollweg undoubtedly will have the great mass of the people with him in a desire to avoid q break with the United States, so far as can be done without sacrificing the principle enun- ciated in the manifesto of February Sth.
 James W. Gerard the American ambassador, has just called on Herr von Jagow, the German foreign min ister, to receive from him Germany's reply to the American note.
