TEUTON PROPOSAL SPURNED.
ALLIES DEMAND IN
BELGIUM'S BEHALF

Paris, Jan. Attached to the En-
tente Powers joint reply to Germany
peace proposals, as made public here,
is the following declaration with refer
ence to Belgium:
I'm virtue of the international treat
les signed by five great European pow
ers, of whom Germany was one, Bel
GUM enjoyed before the war special
status, rendering her territory inviol-
able and placing her, under the guar
antee of the powers, outside all Eu-
ropean conflicts.
"She was, however, In spite of these
treaties, the first to suffer the aggres-
sion of Germany. For this reason the
Belgian government think it necessary
to define the aims which Belgium has
never ceased to pursue while fighting
side by side with the entente powers
for right and justice.
FuIAlIs Duty as Neutral.
Belgium has always scrupulously
fulfilled the duties which her neutral
ity imposed upon her. She has taken
up arms to defend her independence
and her neutrality violated by Ger
many, and to show that she remained
faithful to her international obliga-
tions.
ION the fourth of August. 1914, in
the ReichStag,' the German Chancellor
admitted that this aggression consti-
tuted an injustice contrary to the laws
Of nations, and pledged himself in the
name of Germany to repair it.
During two and 9 half years this
injustice has been cruelty aggravated
by the proceedings of the occupying
forces, which have exhausted the re-
sources of the country, ruined it's in
dustries, devastated its towns and viii
lagos and have been responsible for
innumerable massacres, executions
and imprisonments.
Germany Removes Basis for Farley.
"At this very moment, while Ger
many is proclaiming peace and human
ity to the world, she is deporting Bel
gian citizens by the thousands and
them to slavery.
Belgium before the war asked for
nothing but to live in harmony with
her neighbors. Her king and her gov
eminent has but one aim-the estab-
lishment of peace and justice. But
they only desire peace which would as
sure to their country legitimate repair
alton, guarantees and safeguards for
the future
Germany, by failing to offer repara-
ton and to make restitution, removes
in advance any basis for her parleys
for peace

Munition Needs Great.

Along with these guns German fac
tories are turning out corresponding
quantities of ammunition. And the
production of machine guns, each of
which virtually replaces platoon of
men, has been placed on a scale far
beyond ttat II the past year.
The campsign of 1917 will, it is
already evident, be fought as wide
extension and development of the
Somme Sattle, with even a heavier
concentration Of artillery over a far
wider front and with lines literally
bristling with machine guns. Conf
dence that their opponents will be I'M
able to break through this wall of
steel and fire is not only expressed by
officials, but is manifested right down
into the ranks of the common people.

SENDS } MESSAGES 10 STATE SENATE BROUCH URGES PROBE Governor Also Announces Appoint ment of Hospital and State
 Normal Trustees.

Little Rock, March 2.-Three spe- cial messages were received Friday afternoon by the senate from Gov C.. H. Brough. The first of these compli- mented Senator Greenhouse highly, and asked the senate to act favorably upon his bill to continue the committee Investigating the charges of graft in the senate, or in connection with the government of the state. The second notified the senate of the appointment of Chas T. Abeles and Jas. B. Dick inson of Little Rock, and w. P. Fetch CT of Lonoke, as members of the board for the newly created state general hospital; and B. w. Torreyson to suc- ceed himself, and Allan Winham of Texarkana to succeed Rev. T. o. Owen of Monticello, as members of the State Normal board. The other message asked the senate to pass the Allen bill abolishing the county boards of equal ization.
 Governor Brough also informed the senate that private business called him to Vicksburg, Miss, and that he would be absent from the state for two days, requesting President w. D. Davenport of the senate to serve as the states chief executive during his absence.
 By request from the committee, further time was granted the graft in- vestigators, and they will not be re- quired to file their final report until March '. The chairman of the con- mittee stated he was on hot trail, and 1t was folly to abandon the chase at this stage of the hunt.
 The Riggs suffrage bill will come up next Thursday morning for final pas sage as amended by the senate. Tbe bill caused the first filibuster of the present session in the house from 10 to F o'clock Friday forenoon, and the friends of suffrage came out of the fray victoriously.
 Although overwhelmingly beaten, the opponents of suffrage, despite the fact that the calendar is crowded with senate bills and appropriation bills with only four and a half working days after today, continued their tao tics to delay the vote on the bill.
 The greater part of the time, more than half of the members of the house were on the floor yelling points of or der and motions and counter-motions at the top of their voices, filling the alsles, and crowding around the clerk s desk in front of the speakers stand. It was amidst all this confusion worse confounded that Speaker Cazort ruled motions that were being made were dllatory in their nature, and, refusing to entertain them further, ordered the clerk to proceed with the reading of the amendments. Above the tumuIt and the uproar, it was possible to tell by the speakers actions that he was attempting to put the motion on the amendments, and a thunderous lave, reverberated through the capitol. The speaker announced the concurrence in the amendments, and at 12 o'clock the storm was calmed by recess until 2 o'clock p. m.
