GRIM GAS BATTLES FOUGHT
Quantities by Both Sides In Struo- oIes on British Front.

Andre Tudesq, writing of the battles on the British front, says there was such an expenditure of asphyxiating shells one day that six hours after the last deluge of them suffocating smells were still passed through.
 Lavish expenditure of gas on both sides form characteristic of the fu- rious attacks and counter attacks which have been delivered day and night round these two villages. The mask Is here as precious as the grenade or the rife.
 As in a frightful carnival. In the manner of Edgar Allan Poe, one could see in the night on the slopes west of Fresnoy entire regiments in mastks, fighting and killing each other in the midst of black vapors, which were rendered more fantastic by the light of the moon.
 The hand hand struggle thus took on most singular forms. Throwing away their arms the combatants would fly at each others throats and try to tear away each others masks. Few prisoners were taken in these encoun- ters, and the wounded are fewer still. Death alone receives the Hons share

 "I can't stand much of thls,' he whispered. "Fm simply all out" and at that moment the drill sergeant in- timated that he would give them an- other spell before they dismissed.
 This was too much. The podgy pa trlot felt 1t was time to protest.

DECLARES IT IS UNLAWFUL TO CONSTRUCT lEvEES EAST OF
 WHITE RIVER.
KNOWN AS ACT 1O2 OF 1917
Unless . Favorable Decision of the Supreme Court Can Be Had, Serious Developments in Eastern Ark
 ansas May Arise.
Little Rock.

Little Rock
 Another travesty enacted by the re- cent legislature has been discovered. consisting of law making it unlaw- ful to construct levee or drainage ditch east of the White river. Presumably intended for local measure. the law. which was intro duced in the Senate by senator John Moncrief. lieutenant governor. ap. parpntly has general provisions that will necessitate a Supreme Court de cision 10 settle them. Unless a fav- orable Supreme Court decison can De obtained. serious developments in Eastern Arkansas districts subject to overflow may arise. residents of that section declare.
 Introductory provisions of the meas ure. known as Act l02 of the Acts or 1917. regulate formation of drainage and road districts in Arkansas county, Following paragraph regulate fees to be paid for employees of districts. and the paragraph applies to the entire state
 Section 4 of the bill provides that "No levee can be bIilt on the east aide of the White river in Arkansas. and no ditch or private levee of any sort whatever can be built on the east side of said river. in the State of Ark ensas''
 The White river. having Its incep- ton in Washington county. flows northeast into Missouri and then turns and flows down through Eastern Arkansas. emptying into the Arkan. sas river in Desha county
 John n. Arbuckle. attorney general said the Supreme Court. in constru- ing legislative acts. construes one paragraph as part of the whole bill, and that If the law was apparently drawn to apply only to Arkansas county. n decision to that effect would remedy the situation. On the other hand. however. it was pointed out that the White river is the eastern border of Arkansas county. and that no ditches or levees lying east of the river could be In White county
 Officials of several improvement districts in Eastern Arkansas are contemplating taking a test case 10 the Supreme Court to obtain con etruction of the act.

ABOUT 700 WOMtN
 PAY TVf POLL TAX, BECOMING VOTERS
Great Majority Are Resi- dents of Pine Bluff, Coun-
 try Women Apathetic.

Approximately 700 women residents of Jefferson county have paid their poll tax, and are qualified to partici- pate in primary elections that may be held in the next year, according to the best figures obtainable last night al ter the period closed in which the poll tax could be paid.
 Virtually all the women who paid the poll tax are residents of Pine Bluff and only few women here and there in the county having paid the tax: The women of the rural sections of the county apparently are not so keen to possess and exercise the right of suffrage as are their urban sisters. The greater number of poll tax pay mants have been made in the past fort night, presumably as result of the intensive campaign conducted during that time by the officers and members of the state and county equal suffrage organizations.
