Teutons Yesterday Morning Regain Village from Which
 They Were Driven.
10000 FRENCHMEN
 BECOME PRISONERS
Berlin Claims Gain of 457 Square Miles of Territory and Capture of llJ Guns During Twelve Days
 Battle. Which Still Rages.

London, March 4.--After q day of furious fighting, the village of Dvuau- mont, key position to Verdun from tho north, tonight is precariously retained by the Germans.
 The official statement issued in Paris at midnight reports that late last evening, the Germans were driv- en from the town by counter at tack, but won it back this morning. The battle, which is continuing with no indication of a respite. is marked by alternate advances and retirements by the forces engaged.
 A hurricane of fire is breaking ov- CT the shattered ruins of Douaunont. The streets and by-paths are piled high with dead. Every open space is swept by shrapnel and machine guns in the hands of the French. who occupy outlying crests.
 The total German gains, as reported tonight, comprise something more than 457 square miles of territory, l 10000 prisoners, 1l5 guns and 161 machine gunss. The battle has ragged with only one short respite, since February 22, matter of twelve days. | According to semi-official informa- ton, the German strategy contem- plates a hombardment of the Verdun positions until, laid in ruins, they will be easy prey for smashing, surg ing attacks by great masses of ir- fantry. The Teutonic tactics, aimed for the first time in this war at the preservation of electives, will. it is believed, result in a battle which is likely to last for another two weeks or more.
 In pursuance of their plans, the | Germans have the entire outer ring of Verdun forts under fire. Tons of steel are being poured into them at every hour of the day and night. A lively resumption of fighting on other sections on the eastern part of the French front is reported today. London, March IA wireless dis patch from Rome states that Field Marshal von der Goltz, the German leader, has relinquished command of the Turkish army in Asia Minor.

Application for Use of Streets Will Be Made to
 Council Tomorrow,
VBLANCHARD TALKS
 OF ROADS PLANS
Proposes to Operate Interurban Cars Into Pine Bluff from East, North and West During Day, Handling Freight
 at Night at the Beginning.

The Hot Springs, Pine Bluff &. Eastern railroad will make formal re- quest, at the meeting of the city council Monday night, for franchise granting it the right to use certain streets and alleys of the city for rail- road business, and to establish its route to its local passenger and freight terminals.
 George B. Blanchard, the head of the company, stated yesterday that the necessary ordinance is nelns drawn, and will be ready fir presen- tation to the council at its regular session Monday. It will De ,f usual and ordinary phraseolosy, he said, except that it will name several streets, giving the company the op- tion of finally selecting the streets it desires to use. The ordinance will contain clause that the franchise, so far as it concerns tkose streets not actually in use for railroad pur- poses at the end of two years, shall become void, thus protecting the in- terests of the city in those streets.
 MT. Blanchard will likely be pres ent at the session of the council, to answer any questions that might be put by members of the aldermanic board. He stated yesterday there :, no need of haste in passing the orsii- nance, although he would like the matter settled by the time the surveys and estimates are completed, in three weeks or a month.
 Blanchard Enthusiastic. >
 Reports received by MT. Blanchard from his assistants, and facts ascer- tained through his own activities, have made him, apparently, even more optimistic than he was two weeks ago, judging from his manner yesterday. He spoke freely of his plans, and enthusiastically of the prospects of carrying them out, and indicated that he has unbounded con- fidence in the rapid and steady growth of Pine Bluff, in the years to come.
 "Just at this time," he said, "this section is too thinly populated to make an interurban line profitable. But am confident an interurban service to handle the passenger busi- ness, with freight, service to oper- ate during the period of slack pas senger business-at night-will be profitable. Such a service will help materially to build up and settle the country, thus making more busi- ness for itself as we'll as for the business houses generally.
 There are large areas of rich ter ritory that should be tributary to Pine Bluffs retail stores, but which are not because of the inability of the people to come here. Those peo- ple will come when the service is of- fered, and Pine Bluff will prosper as never before. in my estimation. I base this opinion on reports made by my assistants, who have carefully felt out the sentiment in the terri tory to which refer, and that is the very best basis for such opinion.
