The play has often come up for discussion, and usu- ally each side of the argument has it's supporters. yet the final verdict is that the umpire in charge of the game really rendered the only proper ruling
 With one out and a man on third the sign for the squeeze play hung out. As the pitcher started to deliver the ball, the base runner made dash for home, while the third and first basemen tearing in to get the bunt. The batter man. aged to connect with the ball. dropping little fly in the direction of third base being the result. Almost the bat met the ball, the runner from third was sliding the plate.
 The ball was hit much harder than the batsman had intended and the shortston rushed to third.

GERMAN TRENCHES IN
 BELGIUM PENETRATED
French Enter Positions and Find Number Dead-Berlin Says French Attacks Near SOiSsOns Fail.

Paris, April S.-German positions in the region of Lombardtzyde, Bel gium, were penetrated at two points last night, the war office announces No important action occurred between the Somme and the Aisne before the new German front. German attacks in the Vosges and in Alsace were re- pulsed. The statement follows:
 "In Belgium our troops penetrated at two points the positions of the enemy in the region of Lombardtzyde Numerous German dead were found in the trenches blown up by our fire An attack by the enemy on one. of our small posts south of the Paschen- daele Canal was repulsed with gren- ades.
 Between the Somme and the Aisne there were intermittent artillery en- agreements and patrol encounters at various points.
 ''In the Vosges surprise attack against one of our trenches in the re- zion of Celles was repulsed easily An enemy attack on Largitzen in Alsace cost the assailants losses with no results.
 "Elsewhere the night was calm"
 The official communication issued by the war office tonight reads:
 "There was no action during the course of the day along the entire front. There was violent artillery fighting in several sectors between the Somme and the Aisne and in Champagne.
 "On April ' the Germans threw 200 shells on Rheims, one civilian was killed and three were wounded Last night German airplanes dropped bombs on Belfort; there were neither casualties nor material damage.
 Belgian communication: Along the whole Belgian front the artillery duel continued day and night
 Eastern theater: No event of inn portance has occurred. British avia- tors bombarded enemy installations at Hudovo in the valley of the Vardar and Chestovo, northwest of Lake Doiran."

SUFFRAGETTES LIABLE TO
 PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX

Little Rock, April 9.--Accordipg to prominent county official, the wo- men who are paying their poll tax in order to secure the privilege of vot- ing, have shock coming. They will all have to later appear before the assessor and give in their personal property. Most of those now paying the poll tax appear in the sheriff's office, with a bountiful supply of dia- monds on their hands. The listing of these, if nothing more, will make their vote a rather expensive luxury. The women will have to go down the schedule, and many. will have to di- vulge much valuable property that is now escaping taxation.

WATER FROM MIN 5
 POISONS MANY FISH
Game and Fish Commission De- eide Coal is More Valuable That Fish in Streams of Se- bastian County.

Little Rock, April 9.-As the coal beneath the surface of Sebastian county is of more value than the fish in the streams of the county, the Ar kansas Game and Fish Commis IA will in the future permit the mine operators of that county. to. vi 6 the recently passed game and fish law. The act makes it unlawful to put anything into stream of -',e state which will intoxicate or kill the fish. The water pumped from t'ie mines in Sebastian county is poisc,- ous, and has driven from the streams of that section all the fish. Streams which at one time were fairly alive with fish, are today barren of fish Of any kind. ,sl
 Recently justice of the peace of Sebastian county took the matter up with the commission, asking what he should do in the matter if complaint was made to him. He held conclus- , ively that the mine waters are po's- onous without evidence being taken stating that he had. seen thousands of fish die in Vache Grasse, formerly E fine fishing stream, which had come in during a, rise; sef the Arkansas river, and their exit be shut off hv . sand bar across the mouth. The jus tice stated he had been fish banked up against the bar for distance of 400 feet, and of all sizes from six to thirty inches.
 There is absolutely no way for the water from the mines to be drained off, unless drainage, ditches are con structed for a distance of 30 miles or more, to the Arkansas river, and as the cost of this would be prohibi- tive, and probably force down mum Der of mines, thus throwing thous- ands Of people out of profitable em- ployment. The loss of the fish is un- fortunate to some, according to mem bers of the commission, but not vital to the business interests of the coun- ty, and for that reason no cognizance will be taken of the apparent viola ton of the law. That no provision was made for this was an oversight, and the commission will go on the theory of taking the lesser of two evils.

THREE LATIN-A AMERICAN
 NATIONS MAY J0IN WAR
RAIDER AGAIN SEEN
 CLOSE TO NANTUCKET
British Vessel Sights the Sus- pici0us Steamer-No Reports of Victims-Has No Chance to Escape.

Boston, April 8.-A suspicious yes sel off Nantucket Lightship was re- ported to the Boston Navy Yard by a British vessel today. The radio
 message, as announced by Lieut.. Ed ward G. Blakeslee, district communi-
 cation superintendent of the New England radio district said:
 Sight suspicious vessel or object
 40 miles south, six degrees west true from Nantucket light vessel at 3:15 a. m. tOday.-British vessel"
 Later the position of the myster- ious vessel was given as latitude 4O.15
 north, longitude 69.2S west, almost
 due, south from the shoals. The report of a strange craft in the listeamship lane to Europe was the second to be announced officially
 within "A hours. Yesterday the light ship sent word of "a commerce raider Iof 10000 tons burden" passing west. Whether the vessel sighted today was the same one naval officials declined
 to state. The censorship, which was
 lifted momentarily to allow shipping to receive warning of danger, was at
 once clamped down tightly
 Conditions today, however, were
 much more favorable for observation
 than they were yesterday when the
 wargray raider loomed out of the | fog for moment and then vanished
 in the thick mist. The air today was clear and shipping men expressed the 1. opinion that any enemy ship playing
 a game of hide and seek with the coast patrol fleet would be on the
 losing end.

cpFAT DEMAND FOR
 AMERICAN FLAGS
Cane of Confederate Veterans eO4' to Raise Company and Drill Women " Enlisting as Auxiliary Workers.

1;ttle Rock, April 9.-Flags have ,one up materially in Little Rock dur ;r9 the past week, and jobbers an w a,rce that they are more difficult to
 ,urs than at any time since the cn.nish-American war. Most flags those of any size, are made from Australian wool, and this grade of vool is very scarce. The demand for Aaes is unprecedented, and most hus;ness houses of the city are flying them as we'll as similar display on automobiles, street cars and locomo- tves.
 The First Arkansas Regiment to- dav began the reoccupation of Fort Logan H. Roots, and there is a grow ine belief that it will be sent with the Oklahoma regiment to Panama to stand guard over the canal. This would be more acceptable to mem bers of the regiment than a return to the Mexican border, or to coast duty. The regiment is showing up with al- most full peace strength, thanks to hearty response to the call for re- cruits, and it will probably be in- creased to war strength before being moved to the front-wherever that is.
 The Sons of Confederate Veterans of Little Rock have decided. to raise company and hold drills regularly. This company would not be subject to call at present, but would be ready for service if needed. Most of the men who have agreed to become mem- bers are we'll over the present limit, but are enthusiastic in their desire to give support to their country, and if called, will respond to the man..
 The women of Little Rock are also enlisting in auxiliary corps, and some have indicated they will do farm work if necessary, to let men engaged there to go to the front. Others have stated they will operate street cars, and release men employed there. This shows the women expect the war to be far more interesting than do the men, for about three of them offer their services to one man.

BRAZIL, GUATEMALA AND NICARAGUA MAY
 AID UNITED STATES
Brazil Expected to Declare War on Germany at Once-Gaute- mala Near to Break, Nicara- qua Would Follow.
CUBA GERMAN MINISTER
 4 Fst IS HANDED PASSPORTS

Washington, April S.-Early en- trance of several of the South and Central American nations into the war against Germany is regarded here as practically certain.
 Brazil, aroused by the sinking of her steamship Parana, is expected to become belligerent this week, and it is assumed that her lead will be followed promptly by other countries. Reports of divided opinion in Ar gentina have given, officials here little encouragement to look for aggressive action by that country.
 Active support of the United States by at least two of the five Central American republics and pos sibly by four would not be surpris- ing. Official and unofficial reports that Estrada Cabrera, president of Guatemala, is contemplating serious ly a break with Germany have been received.
 So long as Mexico's course is unde- fined unusual interest is attached to the position the Central American governments, especially that of Qua temala, controlling the southern frontier of Mexico. In the event of the development of an unfriendly situation in Mexico it is realized that Guatemala's role would be far from unimportant.
 In Guatemala Estrada Cabrera has built up what is regarded generally as the most efficient army in Central America, and with it he would be in position to lend valuable assistance to the United States. Antipathy be- tween the Guatemalans and the Mexi- cans there has existed for years
 It is known that earnest efforts have been made by couonselors of Cabrera to induce him to enter promptly into the war. If he does place his country in the list, it is ex- pected that Nicaragua will quickly follow and that the long standing difficulties between those two coun- tries and Salvador and Honduras may be swept away in the desire to pre- sent a united Central America. American officials continue to watch closely every move in Mexico, but little real anxiety remains. It is be- lieved now that German machina- tons in that country have failed, and that the worst that may be expected is a declaration of neutrality
 Investigation by officers of the American army showed the reports of German reservists crossing from the United States into Mexico have been exaggerated, and that the total number crossing the Rio Grande since the breaking of relations with Germany up to 10 days ago was not more than 100.

set aside a patch where the weeds
may grow at will that they may leave

Instead of being a protection to
