 FILES ARTICLES
 RECOMMENDATION
Announces Intention of Ex- tending Line from Monti-
 cello to Pine Bluff.

The filing with the secretary of state at Little Rock Monday. of ar- Ficle of incorporation for the Arkan- sas, Louisiana X Midland railroad, with a capital stock of s1,000, 900, is of m-re than ordinary inten;st in Pins Bluff, because the articles an- ncunce that the road is to build a line from Monroe, La, to Pine Bluff, through Crossett and Monticello.
 The Arkansas, Louisiana & Mid land is more generally known in this sectien as the Parker road" and t,. scussion of the plans of that road tc build into Pine Bluff. MT. Parker and other officials of fhe road have been here on numerous occasions. have had several conferences with l. cal business men, and the impress sion has hsld for some months past that the road was preparing to build into this city ill the near or remote future.
 Tha articles of incorporation give the following as the officers of the road: Edward Ford of New Orleans, p.iiia, dent: o. A. Otis lof Colorado Springs. Col, vice president; and Alfred Coles of Chicago, treasurer
 Mir. Ford is assistant to the prssi- dent of the Queen & Crescent rail road, which position he continues to hold, in addition to holding the of flee of president of the Arkansas, Louisiana x Midland, and this fact has given rise to the opinion that the Queen X Crescent is perhaps finan- cially interested in the latter road, and is assisting in the arrangements for the building of the line from Monticello and Crossett to this city.

 Tale of White Slavery.

s New York, Feb. 9.-Like moving picture thriller is the story of the abduction of . clergyman's daughter. her captivity and final sale at auc- ton while forced to stand naked be- fore crowd of carousing men, which has just been told here. The victim is pretty 1S-year-old Marie Klein, daughter of the Rev. Or. Charles Klein of Bethany Re- former church. the Bronx. Hsr charges are directed against Vincenzo Neapolitano, or Naples young and good-looking Italian pugilist. Ma ples' has been captured after a re volver battle between his gang" and the police.
 Miss Klein is in the City hospital on Rlackwell's island in a serious con dition. Formerly she was organist in her fathers church. One night early last December she was hurrying home when several men in Second avenue accosted her, one seizing her and at tempting. to drag her away. Her screams brought Naples" to her res cue, and after whipping several of her annoyers he escorted her home.
 Not knowing that he had not long been out of prison. Miss Klein in- vited Neapolitano in. She introduced him to her parents and they invited him to call again. He went several times in the next two weeks. He led the family to believe, the police say, that he was the son of wealthy par ents. Marie became infatuated with him.
 Money began to be missed from the Klein home and Dec. Is Marie disap- peared with $400 in jewelry and $3a in cash. No clue to the girl was had until Jan. 20, when she was found in furnished room house.
 sgHer story is that on Dec. 16, while she was returning from shop in her nefghborhood, Neapolitano drew her into a doorway. He told her they were going away together. and placed a revolver at her heart to show he was not joking. First however. he told her she must go home and get all the money and jewelry she could If she failed to return he would kill her on sight. @se.s..ss
 When she returned to NeapolitanO Miss Klein said. he took her aboard a car, keeping the revolver in his pock- ct pressed against her side. He if nally placed her in house ill Will Transport, she said, and took her clothes from her. a
 A Christmas dance was held in a Williamsbridge hall. Miss Klein wen, on. and she was taken 10 small room attached to the hall. Neapoli- tano acted as doorkeeper, she said and admitted many men to her pris- on.
 "The dance was breaking up,' the girl continued, "and 1 was very ill when my captor called the crowd of men back and said was to be auc- toned of. Without clothes, was placed on the stage which the musi- clans had occupied and held there while the brutes made their bids Finally she was sold for $55, Miss Klein said. but lost consciousness and did not know who bought her She remembered nothing until de- tectiyes found her days later

NEW PRECINCT CREATED
 ON LOWER KUsKoKWim

J. l.. Heron arrived in the city early in the week from the lower Kuskokwim, and left on the return trip on Thursday last While here NIT. Heron who has recently been ap. pointed United States commissioner. with headquarters at Reindeer City. in the Canyon creek precinct. made arrangements for qualifying for his position.
 A new recording precinct has been created which is included In the Third Division. For some time past there has been a controversy as to where the boundary line between the Third and Fourth Divisions ran. the miners of the Canyon creek precinct maintain- ing that that creek was in the Third Division. while others contended that it was in the Fourth Division. The result was that there was some con fusion with regard to the recording of claims.
 It is believed that the judge Of the Third Division has put tho matter at rest by deciding that the territory Is in the Third Division, and the result is the creation of the new recording precinct.
 The new arrangement will be Of great convenience to the miners in the promising Canyon creek district and adjacent territory. - uditarod Pioneer)

SAM IS ''BUNK'' SO THE
 NATIVES CLAIM

Uncle sam is a great big fake"
 If you do not believe the foregoing statement the next time you happen to be near Tanana Crossing ask any native you may meet and they will bear it out. The natives of that sec ucn are peeved They are more than peeved, they arc sore and extremely SO. Whyl Because the Territory of Alaska offers a bounty on wolf skins and then does not pay. The average native of the interior does not know of any such animal as the Territory of Alaska but they do know about Uncle Sam and the difference be- tween the two is too fine distinc- ton for them to understand. So they are sore at Uncle Sam and the first chance they get they are going to get back at him good and plenty.
 If Uncle Sam ever visits their sec ton of the country and they catch him alone he will be shot in the back or will be turned loose in the woods without clothes to furnish the piece ie resistance for a banquet to which all the mosquitos in the Yukon valley will be invited
 Here is the reason for this bitter ceiling on the part Of the natives. Since the Alaska Legislature passed the wolf bounty bill and nice large notices have been printed and stuck I'D in conspicuous places all over the land, nailed on trees. stumps, and elsewhere. the natives of the interior have been mulling the question over in their minds as to whether to send the skins to Uncle Sam or sell them to fur buyers
 Finally two native boys decided to take a chance and two skins were pre- pared and shipped on one of the Tan ma river steamers addressed in nice 'arge letters. printed on them by the natives themselves. Did they ask any advice about them7 They did not. Uncle Sam was well known, every 9ody knew him and anything address ed Co him would SO straight to hls house as fast as boats could travel 70 these two wolf skins were address. ,d in the large letters to JUNGLE SAM. OUTSIDE"
 The skins were placed on a boat
 n the bands of @ friendly member ,f the crew and were seen safely on heir way by the anxious native boys who stood on the bank and watched Inc steamer until she had passed the bend down the river. That was the ast heard from the skins and the boys are very sore at poor old Uncle Sam and he will have an awful time squar Ing himself with them.
 The Governors office was notified 7f his dereliction today and now ev- eryone concerned is scratching his head in an effort to solve the diffi- culty and find out how to make the stock of Uncle sam stand high with
 he natives again.

power me in sight Of SO much mis- cry"
 'To plan and direct battle is serious matter" the field marshal con tinued. Everything depends on the spirit. The battle really is Q contest between the two commanders. You always ask yourself: Who will be the smarter and moro resourceful, ] or my opponent. That fascinates and makes the nerves hard as steel. Af- ter his Initial successes in Eastern Prussia. Commander General Rennen- kampf believed the German army in full retreat on Koenigsberg and he massed his troops for a decisive bat. tie in front of this fortress. While he was preparing the crushing blow that he hoped to strike. attacked Tannen- berg. I had outwltted my opponent and the result was a Russian dlsas- ter.
 Army Must 5e Brave
 ITO be successful an army leader has to be brave. prudent, selfconfi- dent and calm" the field marshal com cluded. Sometimes great victories are won by reckless daring and some times by prudence. These two char acteristics ought to be evenly mixed in every general. Too much prudence is not desirable because many bat tle is lost by hesitation. It has al- ways been my principle to strike where ever can and my chief of stan fully agrees with me"
 We tried to set the giant leader to talk about the present situation and the probable future developments of the war. but he declined to be Ques- toned and cut us short with the curt remark: "One of the first duties of a commander is to keep his mouth shut A talkative general never ac- complishes any thing"
 Hoped of sueeeso
 This is also the program of Hinden- burg's chief of stan. General von Lu- dendorff. Like his superior, Luden- dorff takes no stock In hopes which do not rest solidly on military sue. cesses. He is just as skepticai about revolutions in Russia and India. In Hindenberg's estimation Russia is toe large for a general revolution and the field marshal is convinced that the local uprlsings which may occur here and there In the empire of the Czar will not materially influence the course Of the war.
 In a rebellion of the Mohammedian population of India he does not be ileve. India is not yet ripe to throw off the yoke of England" he said "There Is no doubt that some day the Indian revolution will come. but 1t is stfl far off and we must not count on 1t. The war has to be won by our own efforts and those of our allies
 "Uprlsings in Russia and different parts of the British empire may force our enemies to ask for peace sooner than they now intend, but this is on ly a possibility and we must reckon with realities. Victories on the bat tiefields will decide the way and no thing else"
