CHIC01 PROPERTY
owners DECIDE
FOR GOOD ROADS
Lake Village Meeting En-
dorses Plan for Highway
to Cost 100000.

Decision to organize a district I'M
der the Alexander road law for the
building Of approximately 48 miles of
modern turnpike running north and
south through Chicot county was
reached yesterday at a meeting of
property owners at Lake Village,
which was very largely attended by
residents and property owners in all
parts of the county.
1t is stated that every big property
owner in the proposed district is
heartily in favor of the improvement,
two big property owners who had not
been favorable because they were not
benefited having been dropped be-
cause they are not needed in the dis
trict, and were really outside the dis
trict.
There were between $50 and 200 of
the leading people of Chicot and
adjacent counties at Yesterdays meet
ing, these including w. N. Trulock, A.
w, Num-. Secretary e. B. Bloom and
other members of the special commit
to from the chamber of commerce.
The n'ans for the proposed road were
explained in detail, and the estimated
cost was placed at 100000. A rous-
ing address was made by Judge Harry
Cook, following which the resolution
was adopted without dissenting vote
F.; to have the formal organization of the
district completed at once, and to en-
ploy competent engineers to make the
necessary surveys and plans.
The district is to be about 10 miles
wide clear through the county, and
the road will extend from a point
about three miles from McGehee
through Lake Village to a point at the
Louisiana line, where it will join a
modern turnpike. This will make the
new road part of two main turn
pixies, when roads now projected are
completed, one into Memphis from
Louisiana and the other into Pine
Bluff from Louisiana, both via Lake
Village and McGehee.
Secretary Bloom of the chamber of
commerce stated last evening that
Judge Cook, County Judge-elect E. P.
Toney of Chicot county, County
Judge-elect Ewing of Desha county
and other prominent residents of
Southeast Arkansas had expressed at
the meeting their thanks and appre-
citation for the aid and assistance
given the movement for the building
of the good roads by Pine Bluff, the
chamber of commerce and the Pine
Bluff newspapers.

COLONEL TAYLOR
AGAINST MEASURE
Pine Bluff Congressman Among 50
Democrats and Republicans Who
Cast Negative Ballots In Non.
Partisan Measure.

Washington, Aug. 15.--Congress
virtually completed the national de-
Tense program tonight by finally APP
proving the great increases in naval
construction and personnel written
into the naval bill and urgently sup
ported by the administration.
The house accepted the building
program, which it's conferees on the
measure had refused to agree to, by
vote of 283 to 5, with seven members
present and not voting. Personnel in
creases, on which also there was dis
agreement in conference, were ap-
proved wit bout a record vote.

visions, which already have the ap-
proval of the senate, authorize an in
crease of 74,70O and hte building of
1877 war vessels within three years,
with four battle cruisers and four bat

including appropriations for improve
ment of navy yards, the house insisted
on its disagreement to the senate in
crcases and voted to send the bill back
to conference for settlement. An
early agreement is expected, however,
and the measure may be sent to the
president for his signature within
week

plete and nearly perfect that it will
stand as model for all navy bliss for
future Legislators"

cepted the senate increase was nom
partisan, majorities of both Republi-
cans and Democrats voting in the
affirmative. OF the 81 members who
voted in the negative there were 35

the Northern Phcific are taking a
strike vote, in connection with de-
mands for increased wages and
changes in working rules. Efforts
to reach an agreement in conference

two weeks vacation annually with

Associated Press Summary

"A ! ~
The Russians have captured Jab-
lonitza, one of the principal gateways
from Galicia to the Hungarion plains
and Petrograd reports that their Of
fensive in this direction is continuing
This is the first news of an advance
hv the Russian Southern army since
the conquest of the Austrian crown
land of Bukowina was completed
Further to the north, the Russians
are continuing their driving opera
tons against the Ausirians with ap-
parenlly unimportant successes. Their
troops are pouring across the Zlota-
Lima at several points, in spite of des-
perate resistance on the part of the
Teutonic forces.
Fierce fighting is being waged along
the entire line south of Brody and
General Brusiloff apparently is MAX
ing a supreme effort to cut Off the
army of General Won Bothmer and
force it's surrender.
AS far as other theatre of war are
concerned, the main interest centers
in the Italian operations. No import
ant actions on either the British or
French fronts have been reported.
The Italians are vigorously press
ing their advance on the Carso pla
teau, and Rome reports the capture
of several sections of the Austrian
trenches and the taking of more than
1000 prisoners. Unofficial dispatches
from Italian sources claim General
Cadorna now is within Is miles of
Trieste, and that the Austrian fleet
has left the harbor. The Austrian
official statement reports the repulse
of Italian attacks in the Zihacco val
ley, about Is miles east of Gorilla, but
the official statements are meagre and
the general situation vague.
Press dispatches from Geneva and
Paris declare that Tclmino, consid-
cred one of the most formidable bar
riers between the Italians and Trieste,
is being evacuated by the Austrians,
and that the Italians are already In
the suburbs of the town.
The Germans admit that the British
have obtained foothold in thor
trenches on the Th1epval-Pozieres
front, and report the repulse of vfc-
lent attacks by the British and
French in other sectors of the Somme
line.
According to Paris and London, the
day passed without any event of sig
nificance.
Another report of fighting on the
Balkan front comes from the Berlin
war office, which states that small
engagements south of Lake Dorian
have occurred. There have been sew
eral reports of fighting in this the
atre recently and all have come from
German or Bulgarian sources. AS
on previous occasion, Berlin claims
that the fighting was of small import
and resulted in a repulse for the en-
tente allies.
London and Berlin both remain
silent as to the situation at SALON.

Attacks Preparedness Policies.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 15.-In his
speech at the arena here tonight, Mr..
Hughes assaulted the administration
for its preparedness policy, and de-
clared he had been informed and be-

that supplies and equipment were
short, and pledged himself, if elected,
to see both the army and navy placed
under deficient leadership"
"a nation must be ready for every
emergency" the Republican nominee
said. 'There is no reason why we
should not be prepared; there is no
reason we should invite disrespect and
contempt because we are not reason
ably and adequately prepared"
