STATE WIDE
 REVIVAL IN RELIGION
Little Rock Divine Suggests Movement for Every Church of All Denominations in State Season of Opportunity.

Little Rock, Feb. 2.-The Rev. Rob- ert L. Selle, superintendent of the Lit tie Rock district of the M. E. church, makes the following suggestion for a statewide revival of religion:
 And now that the liquor traffic, the worst enemy that the church of God ever had, has been legally ban ished from our state, Arkansas should have statewide revival of reli- zion, participated in simultaneously by every church of all the denomina- tions of the state. The entire Len ten season furnishes an unusually good opportunity for such a revival of the religion of Jesus Christ.
 "With the passing of the saloon from the state of Arkansas, the church of God is given an opportun- ity to save men that she never had before; and if she is awake to the interests committed to her by her Great Head, she will not be slow to see and use the opportunity opened to her to the fullest extent of her ability to do so.
 "The strength of the Church of God in Arkansas should be doubled during the year 1916, the first year of statewide prohibition in our state"

UNITED STATES
 DEFICIENT IN THRIFT
Arkansas Bankers Association Inaugurate Movement Teach ing Practical Thrift-Thurs- day, Feb. 3, Designated.

Little Rock, Feb. 2.-"It has recog- nized for some time by the bankers of America that the United States is deficient in thrift in comparison with some other countries," says Moore heed Wright, president of the Union Trust Co.,, of Little Rock, and chair man of the Thrift committee of the Arkansas Bankers Association. "As a result we lose a profit which more thrifty nations save in production which must sell at the same price. Consequently our competitive nations grow rich upon the same business which may yield no profit to Ameri- cans.
 "The general movement for the teaching of practical thrift, and the definite, active encouragement of thrift by our people has reached the stage of development that is taken up by the American Bankers Asso- citation as definite work. The year 1916 is a fitting time for the inau- guration of the first nationwide cam paign on thrift, because it was just 100 years ago that savings banks were first established in America.
 Thursday, February 3rd, of this week was designated by the Ameri- can Bankers Association as Thrift i Day for America and the beginning of the Centennial Celebration. On this day the thousands of bankers throughout the whole United States invite the attention of the American people to the necessity of adopting a new element in national life. Ii must be realized by the American people, especially those of the south, that it is an absolute necessity to prosperity, for the people, indi- vidually and collectively, to live pro- fitable lives.
 "For the beginning, on this Thrift Day, the attention is directed to the simple and fundamental element of individual savings. The beginning of thrift, a vital measure is the ability to be industrious, and to measure one's ability to save in dollars and cents.
 "Therefore, to begin with, the peo- pie of Arkansas-old and young, cor porations, individuals, children-all are invited to plan this day, and throughout this year, to establish a profit account in the banks. It is certain that everyone, if he could see the real truth of the matter, would determine to lay by from his earnings some money for future investment. The community saving, which is to fol- low, is based upon elementary habit, established in the individual, and the prosperity of The community will, after all, be measured by the power of the sum of individuals who attain pro fitable living"

DEPARTMENT HAS
 PROBLEM TO SOLVE
Different Opinions are Advanced
 as to Whether or Not the Ap- pam is Prize German Auxil- iary of Status of This Vessel.

Washington, Feb. Until it is decided whether the German com mander aboard the British steamer Appam brought the ship into port as prize of war or German auxil- iary cruiser there will be no deter imitation of the governments course respecting the ship when certain for malltles have been compiled with the passengers will be released and their disposition passed on by immi- grafton authorities. Any prisoner of war will be released because inter- national law permits no holding of war prisoners in a neutral country.
 The United States then finally will have to deal with the German crew under Lieutenant Berg and if they are accounted in the naval service of Germany as were the crews of the Prinz Eitel Friedrich and the Kron Prinz Wilhelm already interned at the Norfolk navy yard they too, will be interned unless their ship goes to sea to run the cordon of British cruisers outside.
 As to the disposition of the Appam herself if she is held to be an auxil- iary cruiser, her commander will have the option of putting to sea after a certain time to make repairs and to provision. If she is declared a prize the situation becomes more complex and in that event the United States will have to deal with the most novel question concerning it's neutrality that has arisen during the war.
 The problem probably will be re ferred to the neutrality board, ar unofficial body composed of James Brown Scott, former solicitor of the state department. Captain Harry S Knapp of the navy general board and Captain J. Oliver head of the navy intelligence office. The board 1 findings while merely department here was confusion in the provision, of the international law on the sub ject of prizes.
 One theory largely held is that title of the captured vessel does not pass until the prize court has acted Another opinion is that title passes immediately after the capture is made providing the senior officer oi the captors duly commissions, one of his own officers and one was the commander of the captured ship. The later view is commonly accepted and probably will be followed by the state department.
 Assuming that the American view point prevails the initial character of the Appam after her capture as a prize would be established and if there were no developments in the case, officials would see their way clear to her disposition under article PIP of the Hague convention con cerning the rights and duties of neu- tral powers in naval war.

Fighting In West.

London, Oct. 4.-Serbian successes
in the region of Kaimakcalan. Macedo-
MIA, have compelled the Bulgarians to
abandon their positions on starkov-
Brob and the River Brod and retreat
north.
The Serbians have captured Hovio,
and the French, Petorak and Verbeni,
and on the right wing the British have
occupied Janikov, east Of the Struma.
Berlin records an advance by the
Austro-G Germans against the British
who recently crossed the Struma
northwest Of Lake Tahinos.
Although the Roumanians continue
to gain ground against the Austro-Ger-
mans at various points in Transylva-
MIA, the situation in Dobrudja, which
has attained added interest since the
crossing Of the Danube into Bulgaria
by Roumanian forces, remains uncer-
tain.
Bucharest says that violent fighting
continues all along the line south Of
the railroad running from Constance
to the Danube, with the Teutonic al
lies offering stubborn resistance to
the Roumanian and Russian forces.
Heavy rains are interfering with the
activities Of the British and French
armies in the Somme region of
France, but nevertheless Paris records
the capture Of an important trench
north Of Rancourt and the taking of
additional prisoners.
Forces D~eadIocked.
Violent fighting has been in progress
in Russia, west Of Lutsk, and in Ga
licia in the region of the Zlota Lipa
river. In the latter region, according
to Petrograd, neither the Russians
nor the Teutonic allies have been able
to gain any marked advantage.
West of Lutsk, according to Petro-
grad, the Russians made advances,
but Berlin reports that all attacks here
were repulsed the Russians suffering
exceptionally heavy casualties.
In the attacks, Berlin says, which
were preceded by terrific lombard
ments, the Russian guard made seven
teen unsuccessful onslaughts and an.
other division made twelve.
In Albania, according to an Athens
dispatch, the Italian military authori-
ties have occupied Argyro Castro. hav-
ing ordered the Greek military Off
Gals there to evacuate the town.
Except for the capture by the Ital-
ians of two lofty peaks held by the
Austrians and a continuation of the
heavy bombardmcnt by the Austrians
of the Carso front in the hands of the
Italians, there has been little activity
in the Austro-Italian theater.
