 out Any FOrmalitles.

It le Rock, Feb. 6.-The First Reg imen., Arkansas Infantry, after six months arduous service on the Mexi- can border, is home again. Due to numerous steps along the route, both in Texas and Arkansas the first train IS cars did not reach Little Rock until 3 this (Tuesday) morning, and the sec on.I consis ing of 20 cars, at a. m. Both trains were taken straight through Little Rock, across the river, and the 654 officers and men slept in their cars on the Fort Roots siding this morning.
 On account of the unseemingly hour of arrival and the fact that nc stop of any length was made in Little Rock, plans for the reception at the Un.on station, when it was planned to serve coffee and sandwiches were abandoned and the coffee and sand wiches will be sent shoard the tra n at [ o'clock this morning.

GAVE e.4>4,Alxu
German U-BOat Complies With All Rules and International Laws.
 Cargo is C0ntraband.

Washington, Feb. 4.-The possibility that the sinking of the American steamer Hous tonic will become se- rious fac.or in the crisis with Ger many appal ently was eliminate today by evidence that the attacking subma- rine acted within international law. American Consul Stephens at Ply mouth reported that warning was giv- el and provision made for safety of the crew
 As the Housatonic was carrying contrab nd any controversy over her destruction is expected to present no more serious an issue than claim for none ,ary damages. If the consuls re- port is correct, the case apparently falls into the same category as that of the Amerio9n ship William P. Frye, destroyed with a cargo of grain early in the war by raider after her crew had been taken off.

EXPECT NEUTRALS TO FOLLOW
President Said to Desire Action as
 Protest Against U-War.

Washington. Feb. 3.-It was report ed tonight in diplomatic quarters, but unconfirmed in other American quar- ters that President Wilson in advising neutrals of his act in severing diplo- matic relations with Germrny has in vitad other neutrals to follow his course.
 President Wilson's address to Con- gress today said he would expect neu- tra!s to follow his course if he found it necessary to take further steps to protect American rights.
 Some officials believe that the presi- dent hopes that neutrals will, by sever ing diplomatic relations, make com bined protest. The effect of united neutral protest, officials hope, would have the effect of modifying Ger many's intentions.
 Although there have been indications that the break between the United States and Germany may be followed by severance of relations also be- tween the Berlin government and Bra gil, Argentine and perhaps other Lat in- American republics, no evidence came to light today to show that the Latin-American diplomats here were doing more than gathering information to transmit to their government.

SANDERSON MAY YET RECOVER
Is Reported as Showing Big Improve
 ment in Condition Over Week.

Texarkana Feb. 5-Friends and relatives of Former Sheriff A. G. San derson, who was dangerously injured in an accident enc week ago last night, were gratified over report of his condition, as given out last night and throughout yesterday.
 These reports declared that he had taken considerable nourishment, that ly his condition was much improved as compared to the middle of the week and even up to Saturday night.
 While his condition is as yet criti- cal it is the belief of many friends and members of the immediate fam fly that the injured man now stands an excellent chance to recover, and that every day he gains from now on will add materially to that chance.
 The condition of Tom Fisher, who sustained three broken rfbs in the same accident was reported as very satisfactory under the circumstances and that as yet nothing of an internal nature that might result more serious than already has developed.
 Judge Edwards is now able to be about town every day and in small way can attend to his business af fairs. The fractured arm he receiv- ed is reported as mending nicely, and the torn scalp is giving him very lit tie trouble.
