A MEAN THRUST AT FUTRELL.

Senator J. Marion FItrell of Para gould, once acting governor and who made an enviable' record while hold ing the office, was the author of good roads amendment No. If. He was active in fighting ( orruption wher- ever it existed, while member of the Arkansas senate. He introduced the resolution calling for an audit of the state departments. and acted as chairman of the Investigating committee for some time. What he uncovered was freely aired in the last campaign, and for making this pos sible, Senator Futreli is marked man among certain politicians.
 When it thme time to place sena- tor F'utrell's amendment to the con stitution on the election ballots, cer- tain politicians, according to Senator Futrell's belief, saw an opportunity to even the score, and the caption under which it appears on the ticket is the result. Instead stating fads and showing that the amendment will place the good road building of Ar kansas on a business like basis, and will not increase taxation, the caption shows t to be one to increase the tax levy.
 In all sections of Arkansas there are thousands of voters who will fol-
 low Senator F'utyell on any measure,
 knowing that he has always fought
 for the rights of the people. They
 will resent this unwarranted attack ] Npon him. and turn out in droves tc r vote for the amendment. thus ex- fpressing their disapproval of under i hand policies in all affairs of state.

The Texarkana TeXal kanian is o1- posing the adoption of proposed act No. 1, the primary election law on the ground that "it will hamper.'the Democratic party, while not fesu}atl ing the Republican party" The Tex arkanian admits that tits aims are good" but thinks the people should let "a Democratid legislature make the laws that are to govern the Demo- cratic party"
 This is a peculiar attitude for the Texarkania. usually leVel-headed, far sighted and jealous of the rights of the people.
 How can a measure protecting the purity of the ballot, providing for prompt count of the votes and an nouncement of the results, and giving any candidate with q ause for griev. ance an oportunity for hearing 1T court hamper the Democratic party?" It will hamper the politi clans and make impo oSsible the pei petuation of an office holding trust giving the people a chance to put ], office men of their choice. That what the proposed act No. l Will do and that's why the politicians arc op posed to it's adoption.

Robert Cecil. minister of war trade,
in discussing the question with The
Associated Press correspondent, said:
1T must be kept in mind that the
question presents two entirely distinct
phases. The first is that of the bellig-
erent to whom we could not extend ia
vor under any circumstances. We can
discuss and arrange for the exchange
Of military and civilian prisoners and
other similar matters with the Central
Powers, but, on account of their ac-
ticrs in this war, we cannot be eX-
pected to grant them a single favor.
The other phase concerns a friend
~ neutral, like the United States to
whom we are ready to grant any favor
which does not violate our imperative
necessities.
ITO grant safe conduct to Count Tar
nowski may fall within the latter
phases, but it is a difficult question
about which it would be dangerous to
prophesy.'

sented directly to Viscount Grey, Sec

cars. setting them on fire. Three of
the coaches Of the express train left
the track. The passengers were tossed
about In all directions. but only few
were hurt enough to require the SER
vices of physicians.
The accident occurred just south of
the local depot at z o'clock. Within
half an hour practically all the pas
sengers had boarded trolley cars for
Waterbury and other points.
Almost coincident with tho crash
the wrecked freight cars sprang into
flames. e. r. Erlee, who lives nearly
opposite the scene, telephoned for the
fire department and ordered telephone
operators to summon physicians from
nearby towns. The firemen extinguish-
ed the, blaze in short order. Many
physicians responded to the call, but
there was little for them to do.
When the trains met there was a
panic among the passengers and a
rush for the doors. The Rev. Father
Morrison of Naugatuck and County
Commissioner James Geddes of Wat
crbury were among those on the train
who claimed frightened women and
children and assisted them from the
cars.

Thought Vessel Transport

In the note Germany stated that the
commander of the submarine which
sank the Marina had reported that he
took the vessel for a transport, and
asked the United States for Informal
ton on this point Count Won Bern
storff, the German ambassador, called
at the State department during the
day and also sought this information.
He was told by Secretary Lansing that
the United States was not yet in a po-
sition to answer the inquiry but would
90 SO as quickly as possible.
No Immediate Action
AS result of the developments of the
DAY 1t was indicated by officials that no
acton could be expected in the immediate
future on the Marina case, admitted one
OF the two most important cases between
the United States and Germany. The
other Is of the British liner Arabia.

acknowledge error and make offers Of
settlement If it Is established that the
Marina was not in the British TRANSPORT
service. When the vessel was sunk It
was stated in dispatches from London
that she previously had been connected
with the transport service and also that
when she sailed on her last voyage she
was armed with a gun astern manned ~
two British naval gunners.
In order to clear up this point the
nature of her previous charter the or

Ward Caucuses

The ward caucuseS were called to or
der shortly after o'clock, and at s
O'Clock, when Chairman Charles E. Pur-
inton of the Republican city committee
mounted the stage and raped for order
in the general meeting, they had COM
pleted the choosing of their candidates.
Harold I. Goss was made chairman Of
the caucus and at once assumed charge
of the assembly, opening the speaking
with brief comment upon the efficiency
of the present administration under May
or Niles and expressing a sincere belief
that if the Republicans Of the city CO.
operate at the next election. as it seems
certain they will, victory is assured.
Following Mr.. Goss' remarks, and act
ing upon thu nomination by Weston Lew
IS the CAUCUS unanimously elected Bur
leigh Martin as it's secretary.
Mayor ViIes
Mayor Blaine S. Viles then took the
floor and spoke in part as follows: I'VE
have gathered here tonight to nominate
as candidateS for our city government
men for whom we will ask support. 1t
is for the best interests all around to
nominate the best possible men for these
positions-men who will be true to the
trust imposed. We enter upon a new form
of city government at the next election
whereby mayor, aldermen and councilmen
are elected for two years. We have thus
to be especially careful in our nominal
tons of this year" Mayor Viles then
touched upon the recent Democratic eau
Gus and the nomination of an "indepen-
dent" candidate and stated that he had
personally heard Democrats express a
desire to fight the fight in a regular way
and as the Republican party has fought
Il.
"If this administration should be
blamed for the paying of $4,000 of
old Democratic bills; for much good
constructive work in the highway de-
partment; for not issuing bonds, but
for paying its bills and being indie
pendent; for presenting the city with
an up-to-date fire apparatus that is
paid for; and for raising the wages of
employees so that they may enjoy the
necessities of life-then to us should
come the blame and take my full
part in it.
with our eyes on the future we are
fortunate in having a man to nomi-
nate whose nomination means certain
election-a man who has always been
true and staunch Republican, who
has fought in the Legislature, who has
fought for the working man, who is a
successful business man with the con-
fidence and respect of his business as
sociates: a man easy to meet and to
talk to but who sees his duty and per-
forms it as he should've will get the
support of all classes Of citizens and
make the best mayor Augusta has ever
had. It Is my privilege and pleasure to
nominate Hon. Willis E. Swift"

The most potent element with which

Teuton Progress

Progress for the advancing German
and Austro-H Hungarian armies in Wal
lachia and south Of Bucharest is re-
ported by Berlin, which says the Ru-
manians continue to offer resistance.
The Rumanians apparently are on or
near the line Of the Argeshu, as Petro-
grad says the invaders have occupied
two towns south Of Bucharest and
near Sthat river. Field Marshal Won
Mackenzen, Berlin records, has thrown
an army across the Niaslov lowlands
which would be approaching the Ar
eeshu In the direction Of Bucharest.
