Bombardment by the Brit

An attack on a larger scale

cised over the ever increasing volume
of shells from the British big guns.
From the Houtholst wood, northeast
of Ypres, to the River Lys, on the
Belgo-French border, Berlin reports,
the British fire has been destructive.
Field Marshal Haig's artillery increased
its volume of shot to drum fire several
times.
AS on the front in Flanders and Ar

on the French portion of the western

 The Haywood book suggests as q means to paralyze the railroads
 "It would be well to choose those workers among the most skillful and experienced-who would be able at a single stroke to disable and render useless for some days the materials necessary for the regular performance of the service and the movement of trains.'
 Haywood and others are held lia- ble for publication in the newspaper Solidarity last August of:
 "The I. w. w. is more than labor organization. It is revolutionary union. We are absolutely and ire vocably dissatisfied with the present system of society. We consider it a useless system, and we mean to de stroy it.
 Red card men are shrewd deter mined, valorous and loyal to the cause they love. There would not be soldiers enough in the country to round them up for arrest, nor pails enough to hold them.
 "The I. w. w. is so deeply rooted in America and the world that it can afford to take the chances of an open war a whole lot better than the pow CTS that oppose it. Our system or job agitation is such that no power on earth can keep the union from spreading it's influence.

Workers for the Destitute and Suffering Will Make
 6-Day Canvass.
S1. 1.898.5O PLEDGED
 ON THE FIRST DAY
Committee of Canvassers Working With a View of Collecting Entire Fund and to Avoid Making a
 Supplemental Canvass.

"For the Brotherhod of Humanity" and perfect adaptation of the Col den Rule to every day life in Pine Bluff, are the rules which govern the committee, representing the Associat- ed Charities in the canvass to raise $6,5OO for the work which is to be done during the next twelve months. The committee has been divided into teams of enthusiastic workers, and the result of their labors yesterday was total subscription of S1 1,898.50.
 It is proposed to make complete canvass of the city in six days, and the members of the committee are very sanguine of success, chiefly on account of the fact that they are working in cause which exemplifies all that is embraced in the injunction to "Love God and thy fellow-men; feed the hungry, clothe the naked, give the thirsty to drink, visit the sick and go to those in prison, works as we'll as faith"
 By making a thorough canvass at this time, and raising, what will be needed, second or supplemental cam paign will be avoided. Besides. a larger amount will be needed this year on account of greater need among the people. It was announced few days ago, that the calls upon the or ganization for September had doub- led those of any month this year.
 The teams engaged in this campaign are composed of the following:
 West End-Frank M. Roane, presi- dent of the Associated Charities, chairman; Leo. Andrews, Dr. J. I. Nor ris.
 Barraque street-Lawrence Dixon and Hubert Strange.
 Second avenue-H. E. Trulock, Frank Tomlinson and D. G. Maxey.
 Third. Fourth and Fifth avenues D. Stanley Dreyfus, Thurman Louthan and Sol. Klarburg.
 East Pine Bluff-John Reap and C. H. Moore.
 General Ranger-H. I. Holderness.

PINE BLUFF ANsAs WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 1917

Although the campaign opened yes- terday morning the only sections GOV, cred were in the territory assigned to the teams to cover Second, Third Fourth, Fifth and Sixth avenues. The team headed by D. Stanley Dreyfus, made the largest collection, but other teams declare their determination to not only catch up, but outstrip the trio on the Third, Fourth and Fifth avenues.
 Miss Helen Riddick, general secre. tary, said that the budget estimated for the year will cover the fund nee essary for the maintenance of the city visiting nurse, as well as the usual departments of the regular family welfare work.
 In planning for the year, the idea of the officers and directors, as well as members of the organization, is to bring every effort to bear to prevent the necessity of recurring campaign for funds, as the year progresses with the consequent double expenditure of time in the work.

l. W, W. MEN IN NATIONAL ARMY
 ENVIRONMENTS
Department of Justice Dis closes Part of Evidence
 Against Haywood.

/ Chicago, Oct. 2.-Search for alleged l. w. W. leaders named in indictments returned here last Friday was made today in various army cantonments where, it is learned, number of men sought is in national service. A careful check of all the registered men is now being made by the federal authorities, who assert it will be only a matter of short time until all the 166 indicted men are under arrest
 Officials here attach significance to the presence of the indicted men in the cantonments, all of whom are said to have gone into the service without claiming exemption. One of the charges made in the indictment is "the discovery of certain efforts of the I. w. w. to create among the registered men a feeling of dislOyalty and insubordination."
 Some of the evidence used by the federal grand jury in obtaining true bills given out by the federal author ities shows that it was contained prin- cipally in letters and pamphlets. thou sands of which were distributed over the country.
 From a book sent by William D. Haywood, secretary-treasurer. to Du' luth, Minn.. to be translated into Fin nish. the following was taken:
 "We are going to take over the in dustries some day for three very good reasons. Because We need them, because we want them and be- cause we have the power to get them. Whether we are ethically justified or not is not our concern"
 ~GOOd Will of Germans."
 A letter from James Rowan. sent from Seattle. Wash. under date of August 2, to Haywood says:
 "We have the good will of the Ger man people here, and we feel that they are in sympathy with our cause. We do not call them Germans. how ever. but refer to them as to others, the fellow-workers.
 "We are going to carry our points if we have to stop every industry on the Pacific coast We did not declare war and we have not consented to the workman giving up his industry and being drafted"
 Another excerpt from the book sent by Haywood to Duluth said:
 "Is strike contemplated by the most indispensable workers-those of the alimentary trades? A quart Of kerosene or other greasy and malo- dorous matter poured and smeared on the level of the oven-and welcome

MEDICOs DEFEAT
PAEAMA PLAYERS

In the second of series of three
games the department hospital volley-
ball team beat the Palama senior
team in two straight sets.
The short straight down deliveries
of the Medfcos were a puzzle to Pu-
lama and in the last part Of the sec
ond set they seemed to dodge the bali
instead of playing it.
On the other hand Palama's serv-
ing deserves credit. Wah Sim espe-
cially starred in that part of the game,
serving the ball only a few inches
over the net with a beautiful drop.
AS only five players of the Palama
team showed up, the pill rollers" also
cut their team to five, but the only
difference noticeable was an increase
rather than a decrease in speed.
The next and deciding game will be
played in the near future on neutral
ground .
Palama claims the championship of
the Hawaiian Islands, but they will
have to play their best if they intend
to keep that title.
The lineup was as follows:
