FRENCH ARTILLERY
 ACTION SPIRITED

Photo by American Press Association

Paris, May 1.-The communication issued by the war office tonight reads:
 Quite spirited artillery actions took place along the Chemins- Des- Danes, particularly near Hurtebiz and Craonne. as well as in the region of Courcy.
 Tn Champagne there was violent artillery fighting south of Moronyil- Hers. In this region the enemy twice delivered strong counter attacks against the positions taken by us yes terday northeast of Mont Haut Our barrage fire and She fire of our ma chine guns on both occasions broke the waves of assault and inflicted hea- " losses on the enemy.
 "The number of unwounded pris- oners taken by us in the fighting of April 20 was 520; we also captured five cannon in the period from April 24 to 30.
 "Sub-Lieut. Deorme has brought down his twenty-ffth enemy machine; Adjutant Madon his nith Adjutant Lufbery (of New Haven, Conn.) at tached to the Lafayette escadrille, has up to the present brought down nine German airplanes.

ANOTHER CANDIDATE
 PRES. CONVENTION
Some Members Will Seek to Raise Salaries of State Offic-
 ials- Confederate Veterans Will Carry Two Flags May 30.

Upon the outcome of the consttu- tional convention depends much in the future of Arkansas politics. Some members come with the avowed inten- tion of increasing the salaries of state officials, starting at the bottom and winding up with the governor No state official will receive less than $4000 per annum, according to one schedule, while another would make the lowest $5,000 The salary pro- posed for the governor runs from $7,500 to $l0,000 yearly, with lib- eral expense account to provide for trips the chief executive may make. Others expect to change the term of official tenure, making it four years and only one term.
 There are several men in Arkansas who have their eyes turned toward the office of governor, but they are not willing to sacrifice both time and business for the present paltry salary of the chief executive.
 Another probable change in official affairs to be considered by the con- vention is the consolidation of a num- Der of offices now in force but just which ones will be absorbed by others is a mere matter of conjecture.
 Until the past week only one can didate for president of the conven- tion, T. C. McRae of Prescott, but another name has been added in that of T. NJ. Mehaffy of Little Rock, and as the weeks go by, and the list of delegates is definitely fixed, a num- Der of other candidates will probably appear.
 Equal suffrage is sure to be one of the chief topics for discussion, one candidate who is sure of election, in- teresting himself to the extent of vis- iting meetings of womens' clubs in his section and ascertaining from them how many desire the ballot. He has found the women about equal ly divided on the question: and if the count still stands 50-50 when the con vention opens, he will probably be absent on the day the vote is taken, and play safe.

EXPEDITION PLAN
 MEETS OPPOSITION
Cabinet Meeting Discussed Val ues of Such a MOve-Adverse Recommendation May Be For mulated.

Washington, May 1.-The move ment to have an American army sent to fight in France at the earliest pos sible moment took one more step to- ward accomplishment today. It also developed that civilian officials of the government are almost in a body in favor of tn plan, which military ad- visers of the war department stand solldly against, sending any soldiers to France until they have been thor oughly trained here.
 Following the regular cabinet meet ing today it was learned the entire cabinet was in favor of sending men to France at once. The request of the French commissioners here that in- crements of American troops be sent to the west front immediately was discussed in a general way at the cabinet meeting and later was gone thoroughly into by President Wilson and Secretary of War Baker.
 Following the cabinet meeting, which lasted 20 minutes, Secretary Baker remained closeted with the president in the cabinet room for two hours. Later he denied the army gen eral staff had been ordered to ar range to move troops to France at an early date.
 Has the general staff been asked for advice as to whether it is advis- able to send American troops to France as quickly as possible?" Sec retary Baker was asked.
 ''l cannot answer that" he replied.
 White House officials tonight de- clined to comment in any way upon the question of whether troops will be sent at once. The presidents opinion upon the matter was known to no one except himself and Secretary Baker, it was said.
