DOING AWAY WITH NOISE
"chugless" Locomotive Is Declared to
Be More Than a Possibility
Of the Future.

The seekers after noiselessness will
owe much to Hiram P. Maxim II he is
able t 0 carry into effect his plan for a
'chugless' locomotive. Future ages
are likely to find our era uncivilized
largely in this, that mans ftful up
roar mingling with his toll was the
rule rather than the exception, and
that we were as noisy as we were
busy. At present a hideous racket
seems to be inseparable from our
notion Of progress. In u insistence
upon high-speed living and the conser-
walton Of time we demand night la
Dor, yet we conspire to give those
who "have to go to bed by day" no
chance to sleep.
The list of needless noises is long
and varied, and as the strident clamor
increases each new voice must raise
itself above the already prevailing
pandemonium in order to be heard.
Since the w~ayfaring man no longer
startles at an ordinary "honk," the
motorist must be able to fill the air
with the shrek of a demon in agony.
Every new building that storms the
skies Of modern Babylon sets the
steam riveters hammering like mighty
woodpeckers. and the role of Macbeth.
who murdered sleep, has a thousand
mechanical impersonators every time
building work on a grand scale is
undertaken anywhere.
Nobody wants to see the hand OF
progress stayed, especially in this
day when a bloody carnival OF de-
molition is in full swing, and millions
of men are under orders to tear down
all that the ages have upreared. But
surely the future years will see to 1t
that this amazing turmoil we make
is muted to a comparative whisper
in order that the still small voice OF
the life Of the spirit may gain a hear.

rendered few days afterward and
eventually was found guilty and SEN
fenced to life Imprisonment. He es-
capped from Jail while his case was

Norfolk, Va, July 29.-Federal
Judge Waddel decided The libel pro-
ceedngs for possession Of the captur-
ed British liner Appam in favor Of
the English owners and against the
German prize crew whi3i. brought her
here.

government lost all claim to the APP
pam and her cargo rs prizes of war
when Lieutenant Berg ana his prize
crew on last February 1 brought them
into the neutral waters of Newport
News with the intention of laying up
the vessel indefinitely.
Treaty Doesn't Apply.
Other salient features Of the deci-
sion follow:
That the Russian American treaty
of 1899, renewed in 1923, does not APP
ply or control in the case so aS to
guarantee the prize crew asylum in
United States waters.
That the action of the German prize
court in declaring the Appam prize
while the case was in litigation in the
United States courts has no effect CM
the jurisdiction of he United States
courts.
That the jurisdiction of The United
States court in the Case IS established
by long line of precedent, including
several by the Ua'ted States supreme
court.
Attorneys were notified that the
court would hear any motions they

QUITS
AS NIGHT Chief
OF POLICE HERE
Retires After Five Years
Service to Position with
the Cotton Belt.

w. D. Fiveash, for more than five
years night chief of police of Pine
Bluff, rendered his resignation yes
terday, effective at once, and imme-
diately thereafter accepted the posi-
ton of special agent for the Cotton
Belt railroad.
Chief of Police Frank Stewart later
announced that he will appoint Evan
Parnell. now deputy street commits
sioner, to be night chief of police.
Mr.. Parnell has had longer service
with the police department than al
most any other man in Pine Bluff,
and the work will not be new to him.
Mr.. Fiveash will take over the
cial Agent f. r. Bernard, who has
resigned to accept position of the
same kind with the Southern Pacific
lines in Texas. Mrs. Bernard's health
is bad, and her physician has recon-
mended that she make her home in
Texas, hence Mr.. Demands desire to
accept the Southern Pacific position.
There was general regret over the
resignation of Mr.. Fiveash, not only
by the city authorities, but by the
business people generally. He joined
the police department on April 10,
1870 serving as patrOlman for sew
eral months, when he was made night
chief, which office he has held con-
tinuously since that time. He will
continue to make his home in Pine
Bluff, and his territory will extend
over the Cotton Belt lines between
Memphis and Texarkana, including
the branch lines.
Gle has been a good officer, and
I hate to lose him." said Chief of Po-
lice Stewart last night cat the same
time, I am glad to see him lettering
himself, and l know he will make
good, because he has the ability and
the willingness to do the work ex-
pected of him. There are not many
men in Arkansas who are better
criminal workers than Mr.. Fiveash
and when I say that, I know exactly
what am talking about"
Mayor Simon Bloom also spoke in
high terms of praise of Mr.. Fiveash
and expressed regret that the city
should lose his services, although he
congratulated the former assistant
chief at being appointed to his new
| and important office.

London, July 29.--Armies of the
entente allies continue to hammer
the lines of the central powers on all
European fields.
On the western front the British
and French are holding back the
German forces, and British troops
have made additional progress on the
hardfought Somme battle-ground.
Russian forces on the eastern front
continue their successful drive
against the Austro- German lines.
With Brody in their hands, the Rus
slams report little or no activity in
Northern Galicia. In Southern Cali
cia, however, the Muscovite armies
are pushing forward toward Stanis-
law, an important railroad center not
far from Halicz, also railroad CEN
te'.
The capture of Brody and the re-
treat of the Austrian armies is
equalled if not surpassed by the Rus
sian successes west and northwest of
Lutsk. This advance, if unchecked
by General Won Linsingen, seriously
threatens ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and
makes the railroad junction of Koval
less tenable for the Austro- Germans.
While admitting the Russian pen
etration of the Teutonic lines north
west of Lutsk the Austrians declare
that the advance west of I-utsk has
been stopped by counter attacks.
Russians Capture 10000.
Petrograd claims the capture Of
more than 10000 Austro-Germans in
the recent fighting in Northern Ga
licia and Volhynia.
North of the Somme, in France, the
British have gained some ground in
the vicinity of Pozeres, and the High
wood. The British have beaten off
German attacks against Dellville
wood, and the French have stopped
German attempts to advance at Yer
mandovilliers, south of the So:nme.
Berlin reports little activity on this
front with The exception of the fail
ure of British attacks in the vicinity
of PoZieres.
Fighting also continues around
Verdun. German attacks on the right
ard left banks of the Meuse have
been repulsed, Paris asserts. There
has been no great change on the
Austro-Italan front, nor on the
Saloniki front, where the Servian
troops began an offensive several
days ago. Sofia claims the Bulgar-
ians stopped Servian attacks, while
the Serbs claim to have imposed
heavy losses on the Bulgarians.
In the Caucasus, the Russian adj
vance against Khartut and Sivas, the
present objective of Grand Duke
Nicholas, continues successfully, Pet
rOgrad reports.

 Railroad detectives have warr cd walking delegates of the section hands from the railroad property but the delegates solved this difficulty by pur- chasing a railroad ticket and dis playing it as an excuse for being at the stations
 The strikers have held mass meet ihgs but these discussions have taken shape only in demand for twenty cents an hour as against sixteen cents at present The men say they have no fear of the introduction of strike breakers.
