JITNEY QUESTION
 IN VIRULENT FORM
Two Classes, One Demanding Jitneys be Let Alone With Minimum Regulation, Other They Be RigidIy Regulated.

Little Rock, July l0.-The question of iitney regulation is coming up again in Little Rock in more viru- lent form than ever before, and the city council is confronted with a most intricate and annoying problem.
 There are two classes of people, one demanding that the jitneys be let alone with minimum of regulation .or none at all, and the other that they be rigidly regulated, even to the ex- tent of being legislated out of busi- ness. Between these two extremes, Mayor Taylor and his associates hope to arrive at some golden means which will appeal to all, and prevent strife.
 A new element has entered in the action of the Central Trades Council proposing an ordinance regulating the routes and service of the iitneys, to such an extent that the owners of iitneys claim they will be put out of business This will be somewhat compilcated Dy the organization ot a Jitney-drivers Union. and their appli- cation for admission to the Central Council, which would bring about a division among the trade-unonists themselves.
 Recently when a strike was threat eneI by the employees of the street railway, who had just become union ized, and the trouble was adjusted by concessions on the part of the street railway company of practically every thing demanded by the employees union, is was publicly stated that the trades unions would do all in their power to overcome unjust jitney com petition.

MILEAGE OF GOOD ROADS IN ARKANSAS
 GROWING RAPIDLY
Highways Completed and Under Way Estimated at Nearly 1000 Miles-TOtal Cost Put at $5,000.000.

1t is estimated that the good roads movement in Arkansas, which has reached the stage of realization, is causing the construction of nearly 1000 miles of improved highways at a cost of approximately five million dollars. Never before in this State has there been such an impetus given the building of good roads. It may be ascribed almost wholly to the in fluence of the Alexander Road Law, enacted by the last Legislature, pro- viding a bond system whereby the adjacent property owners are enabled to construct modern highways on ad- vantageous terms.
 In many counties much work has already been completed. The counties where roads have been constructed or are under construction, with the mile age and cost, are as follows:

QUIETLY AND EFFECTUALLY
 QUELL LATEST REBELLION

Washington, July 10.-Living up to it's reputation as the greatest single factor for peace in America, the Unit ed States Marine Corps, with the loss of few men killed and wounded, has quietly and effectualfy quelled the lat est revolt in Santo Domingo, and, without time lost in undue barley has forced the rebel chieftains to lay down their arms and return to peace ful pursuits, according to late advices from Monte Christi.
 United States Marines now control the entire island on which Haiti and Santo Domingo are situaed, and that control was gained without serious fighting or great loss of life it is claimed because of the thorough pre- paredness of the marines for the busi- ness at hand and their knowledge of the people and their ways.

RUSSIANS THREATEN WHOLE GERMAN LINE
Railroad Junction at Delatyn is Occupied by MuscOvites-Are 24 Miles From KOvel-Frerch Take BiacheS.

London, July 9-The Russians on the eastern front are going from sue cess to success, and for the time that theater of the war is overshadowing the western front from the spectacu- lar viewpoint. Not only has Gen. Letchitzky, in the south, occupied the railroad junction at Delatyn, west of Kolomea, this cutting off Gen. von Bothmer from his supply base, but Gen. Brussilotf, in the north, is mak- ing surprising advances on both sides of the Kovel railway toward the Stokhod river.
 Tonight's Russian communication reports the enemy forces in this re- zion retiring in great disorder and adds that the Russians have occupied IHuleviche, about 24 miles to the east of Kovel, while apparently the Rus siarS are already across the Stokkod river somewhere in the region of Janovka.
 German possession of Baranovichi and Kovel are absolutely essential if she is to retain her hold over the in- vaded parts of Poland and Lithuauia, but it is considered likely that it is only a matter of few days before the Russians will be in possession of Kovel, which would compel Non Lin singens retirement from the Lutsk salient.
 German official and unofficial dis ptaches reflect anxiety over the Rus sian advance as being greater than over the Anglo-French offensive, which the German military critics con tend will not interfere with the oper- ations against Verdun.
 French Gains on SOmme.
 Maj, Moraht and other German crit ics express surprise at the extent md persistence of the Russian offensive and the endless resources of ammuni- tion.
 It is reported from Rome that at a recent council of German and Aus trian marshals Von Hindenburg de- clared that it would be impossible to attempt a new offensive on a large scale without endorsements of at leas1 a quarter of million men.
 On the Somme river front today the French carried German positions east of Fiaucourt on a front of four lilo- meters and to a depth of from one to two kilometers. They also have cap clined an invitation from the German cial war office statement tonight.
 The Roumanian government. ac- cording to a Berne dispatch, has de- clised an invitation from the German and Austrian governments to partici- pate in conference of the Danube powers.

Doing Preliminary Work.

Counties in which preliminary work is being done are Carrol, Sevier, Ar kansas, Lonoke, White, Polk, Benton, Sebastian, Crawford, Miller, Pike, Ia Fayette and Union. A large force of field and office men is kept at work by the Highway Department making surveys and plans for roads and bridges The demand for assistance are greater than the department is able to meet. During the busiest time of recent months, it has been neces- sary to employ as many as six extra engineering crews to meet the de- mand for surveys.
 Under the provisions of the Alex ander law. the direction of road con- struction by means of improvement districts is under the supervision of the State Highway Department, and directly in the hands of Hugh R. Car ter State Highway Engineer. In Reality an Investment. Speaking of the work that is beng done, Carter said:
 Ut has been learned tha a large proportion of transportation cost be- tween producer and consumer can be eliminated by the construction of hard-surfaced roads, and that our only means of securing this kind of roads is to build them now under a deferred payment system, stretching over a period of 20 to 30 years in the form of a tax.
 While called tax, it is in reality an investment, which will return to us in the saving of transportation charges, as well as in horse-hesh and the wear and tear of wagons.
 Good roads are bringing the coun- try and towns closer together, elimin- ating distance, placing us closer to our schools, and increasing the at tendance at those institutions.
 "I believe that there will be even a greater activity during the ensuing two years in road and bridge con- struction. It is improbable that all the projects for which the department has made plans and surveys will be carried out, but even should only a small proportion of these projects be realized in 1916, the good roads move ment in the State has been given a noteworthy advance"
