today went aboard the tug Thomas F.
Timmins, which is to tow the sub
marine Deutschland to the capes. Aft
erward a conference was held on the
tug by Captain Paul Koenig, the
Deutschland's commander; Captain
Frederick Hinsch of the North Ger
man Lloyd steamer Neckar, and Cap
tain Zach Cullison of the tugboat.
A pilot was reported to have ar
rived at the Deutschland's pier about
the time the extra men went on the
Timmins, but officers of the Mary
land Pilots association said no pilot
had been supplied the submarine "as
yet. and that none so far had been
accustomed
Testing of the submersibles engines
continued today.
Baltimore, July 2S.-The growing i'm
preston that the German submarine
freighter Deutschland was delaying
her departure for Germany until word
was received from her sister ship, the
Bremen, took on the appearance of fact
today when it was learned from a
source regarded as reliable that she
would not sail until official Informal
ton had been received from the Bre-
men by her agents here. This seems
borne out by the statement of Captain
Koenig last Wednesday when he was
given clearance papers when he said
circumstances and conditions over
which he or his agents had no con-
troll was delaying his departure from
this port.
The Deutschland is loaded, her cargo
has been carefully trimmed, the ma
chinery satisfactorily tested, 1t is un-
derstood, and the underwater liner is
ready to sail on short notice.
1t was also said on good authority
that the Deutschland would make no
secret attempet at getaway, but that
1t was probable she would leave her
pier during the daytime in order to
arrive at the capes under the cover Of
darkness.
New York, July 2s.-Another cir
cumstantial report regarding the
whereabouts of the German merchant
supersubmarine Bremen, long expected
at some American port, is that she has
been captured by British patrol squad
rons and today is tied up in the North
west Arm in the harbor of Halifax.
N. S.
The report of the capture, which is
published here today, is given in let
ter said to have been written by the
secretary of a high Canadian official
to a business man of this city. The let
ter Is declared to have been mailed
from Buffalo, N. Y, two days ago and
therefore could not have been subjected
to the scrutiny of the Canadian cen
sor. The letter says:
you seem in New York to be wor-
ried about the Bremen. There is really
no cause for worry, for at the present
time she is tied up in what we call
the Northwest Arm in the harbor of
Halifax and is being we'll taken care

 ''To prosper by industry; economi- cal and good management of proper ty; to increase in goods and estate. "
 These are the lessons to be driven home in Pine Bluff this week. :. Min isters will discuss the subject in their pulpits today; teachers will talk thrift to the pupils Thursday, and besides will continue to impress the children with the need to practice economy and good management.

OPPOSITION TO LOUIS bRANDEIS
 DISAPPEARING
Reed of Missouri Will Lead the Fight Against
 Confirmation.

Washington, Jan. 29.-The storm over the nomination of Louis D. Bran deis of Boston to be an associate justice of the supreme court of the United States has somewhat abated today, the impression prevailing among. senators tonight that he will be confirmed.
 Acting Chairman Overman of the judiciary committee said this after noon he would appoint a sub-commit- tee Monday in charge of the nomina- tion and make such investigation in- to the fitness of MT. Brandeis as is usual, in connection with such ap- pOintments.
 According to present indications the movement against confirmation, on behalf of the Democrats, will be led by Senator Reed of Missouri Senators Hoke Smith of Georgia and Shields of Tennessee are expected to aid Senator Reed.
 The nomination will be defended by Senator Hollis, of New Hampshire and Senator James of Kentucky There will be no opposition to Mr. Brandeis on the ground of his reli- gious faith or his German percentage Senators say opposition against him because he is Jew would help him.

THRIFT CAMPAIGN MEETS
 ENTHUSIASTIC APPROVAL
Ministers and Teachers Appreciate Need for People to Cultivate Thrift and Cheerfully Lend Their Aid
 to Make "Thrift Day. Success

The thoughts of Pine Bluff people will be turned to the subject of thrift this week as never before. Febru- ary will be observed as Thrift Day here, in conjunction with hundreds of other cities and towns of the United States, to commemorate the tooth anniversary of the establishment of the first savings bank in America.
 Ministers and educators, white and colored, are lending their enthusi- astic cooperation to the movement. This alone insures it's success. In addition, business men generally will help to promote the movement, which has for it's object the betterment of the situation of the individual, and, through the individual, the city, state and nation.
 What can be accomplished by CO., operation was shown last week when the Y. M. c. A. forces raised more than $10,OO0 for that institution.
 Cooperation is going to make the thrift movement in Pine Bluff as great success in it's way. Whatever doubt may have been entertained was removed by the manner in which the plan has been received by ministers and educators, who are close to the people and than whom there are none better able to appreciate the need for the practice of thrift by the individ- ual.
 Thrift" as Noah Webster defines it, is:

Cleveland, O., Jan. 29.-Prcsidcnt Wilson tonight for the first time de- cared that the United States navy must be improved at once.

French Report That Zep- pelins Driven Off by Air
 Graft of City's Defenses.
MANY PARISIANS
 SEEK THE CELLARS
Others Throng Bridges Over Seine in Effort to Obtain Sight of Raiders
 Y and Battles in Air-Invaders Fail '''" "'''' " to Reach Paris.

Paris, Jan. 29.-German Zeppelins tonight attempted to raid Paris, but were driven off by the guns and air craft of the city's defenses.
 The raiders succeeded only in reaching the outskirts of the city! where few tremendous bombs were dropped, the explosions of which were heard for miles.
 Reports received so far by the pre- lecture of police indicate that no lives were lost Several persons are said to have been injured, but the property damage was light.
 The Zeppelins, the number of which is not known at this time, are
 believed to have been accompanied by protecting squadrons of aeroplanes.
 The alarm was sounded about 3 o'clock in the evening. Immediately the city became dark, and powerful searchlights began to explore the heavens. At 9:2O o'clock it was reported that Zeppelin had been sighted fly ing toward the capital.
 Great fleets of battle planes which had been concentrated for the city's defense, took to the air. Every foot of space over Paris was patroled. Fire companies made ready and whistles warned the populace to leave the upper stories of the city's l homes. | Timid Paris sought the cellars. but the great majority of the inhabitants flocled to the streets and packed the bridges over the Seine, watching the skies for signs of the invaders.
 Suddenly, about 10 o'clock, g deep rumble rolled over the city, f0lllowe0 by the sharp rattle of small guns and I the bark of the anti-air craft batter ies. Other explosions followed Tn rapid succession, but no Zeppelins were sighted by the crowds. . Measuring bulletins were sent out immediately by the authorities. The air raid repulsed, the throng thinned
 and returned to their homes.
