f. Forrest Taylor, who is to appear
at the Auditorium theatre Monday,
February 5, one night only, in Sir
Anthony Hopes greatest play, THE
Prisoner of Zenda," had rather a unique
experience when he made his first
appearance before the foot-lights. It
was at a school entertainment, and
Taylor was playing the tramp" In
making up the young thespian the
teacher had placed a small Charlie
Chaplin" mustache with a bit Of glue
on his upper lip. During the scene
in which Taylor appeared he was sup
posed to eat a meal on the stage. Dur
ing the feast the audience burst into
roars of laughter. The other actors
in the scene were gesticulating wildly
towards the young man who finally
grabbed his mouth to find that his lip
was bare. He searched and searched
but no mustache, and to this day Tay-
lor does not know whether he partook
of a Hare Sandwich" or merely had
a hair breadth escape.

POLICE RA1D'DUTCH
 FOOD STOREHOUSES

The Hague. Netherlands. Nov. 30.- ing and speculation in foodstuffs. the police have raided many storehouses in this city and seized large quantities of miscellaneous supplies. This ac' tion followed the publication in the newspapers of serious warnings of the foolishness and danger of the pub lie practice of accumulating and hid ing foods.
 This practice has developed with the approach of winter and is referred to here as transferring" word derived from the name of rat having two cheek pouches for holding grain.
 Owing to the virtual blockade of the Netherlands from various sources Of supply there is i'll sight a probable shortage of various kinds of food and other commodities in common use. Observing the extending of the ration system and tho soaring prices and anticipating a greater restriction of supplies, the Hollanders have been filling their cupboards land cellars with flour. rice, oatmeal, condensed milk, butter, potatoes and any avail able foodstuff.
 Meanwhile the spectators have been piling up in their warehouses fats. oils, cotton and woolen goods, leether. and almost anything in the form of necessities that clan be pur- chased and stored away. A large part of the goods so hoarded or held for speculation is highly perishable and may he less to the public unless taken promptly from the storage.

Conserving Tin cans.

All over the world many uses are found for used five-gallon tin cans. In the Orient, Africa, Latin-America, the West and East Indies, the natives pur- chase them for innumerable purposes. There are men engaged solely In buy ing and selling these containers. The tinsmith coverts the containers into all kinds of household utensils-lamps, cook stoves, pots, baking pans, sprink- lers, small pumps. plates, measures drinking cups. rat-traps and buckets. With one face removed and glass sub- stituted therefor the can becomes dis. play box for grocery stores, or a rice, container. Cut diagonally in two it serves as dust pan. In Latin-Amer. tcan cities it is used by peons to cut grass in parks, being formed into n sort of knife. Used entire it is good for shipping canphor. lime. alcohol and molasses. It makes an excellent aower-pot.

THE LAWYERS PLEA.

It is an interesting fact that pretty much all records of human thought and emotion, from the earliest to the latest, contain insidious references to lawyers. The voice of the English people. for example, was first dimly heard in the Peasants Rebellion of the Fourteenth century; and one of the things they wanted was prompt execution of lawyers.
 That fact came to mind the other day on reading a lawyers plea to a jury in a murder trial. We wonder what would happen to American jurisprudence if lawyers were required to address themselves to the jury's in- telligence. discussing the facts in the case with the same sense of respOnsi- bility that a judge has in discussing the law Suppose lawyers discussed criminal cases to. the jury with the same candor they employ in discuss ing their cases to their friends, say ing nothing that they did not believe to be an honest interpretation of the evidence, instead Of striving to pro- yoke passion and prejudice, and lug ging in every possible charlatan ap- peal to sentiment. Why should not a public prosecutor, as public officer, just set forth his canGid judgment of the facts and leave the rest to the jury? Or why should counsel on the other side, being also in theory an officer of justice use every trick to get murderer clear?
 Time may come when arguments in a criminal trial will have the dignity and self-respect of arguments before an appellate court The jury system will work better then.

Home Taet.

We hear frequently that 1t Is love that makes the world go round. There used to be catchy song to that effect that sounded quite. convincing. But, occasionally, one entertains the suspicion that with love alone to steer by, the world might very easily fly off on any tangential path that presented itself; and that nothing short of genu- inc tact, nice discernment, inborn courtesy-call 1t what you will--freely exercised in the same place where charity, too, should begin, will hold the spinning earth in its proper groove and keep 1t from colliding with the rest of the universe.-Exchange.

MEN WANTED

A result of the war there is an enormous demand in all lines of bust ness, both public and private. fo1 trained men and women. Leading mon of the nation are unanimous in the opinion that it is . patriotic duty for men who are not eligible for army service to pursue buscness or teohni. cal training and 1t themselves for ser vice elsewhere.
 Young men who are not in the se. lective draft, arc wanted in business positions provided they have the right training. Little Rock and Arkansas business men are begging now for trained help: they need men-sreat numbers of then-and must have them. It is . splendid opportunity for those who will train themselves in bookkeeping. shorthand. ana stAsr branches of clerical work.
 MT. George A. Mclean. President of Draughon's Business College o1 Little Rock, Ark, advises that the demand for ofice help has trebled In volume during the last three or four months. and that in August alone, nearly 20 positions were offered the students of his school A very large majority could not be filled as there was not suhicieAt number of trained students available. Mir. Mclean strong. ly urges business training and says that wonderful opportunities are now open to the young men aAl women of Afkahsas.
 Those who arc locking for m op- portunity and believe in the ''Do 1t now" spirit. should. by all means. communicats with Mir. McLeaA and leazA his plan for assisting young peo- pic to Drepars for business life.

TURKS RECAPTURE TRENCHES FROM
 BRITISH TROOPS
Allies Submarines Sink 2 British Ships Aggregat-
 ing 8,242 Tons.
Associated Press Summary

On the Irak front, in Asiatic Tur- key, the British and the Turks have been engaged in hand to hand fight ing at Sannaypat about 12 miles northeast of Kut-elAmara.
 In their onslaught, the British cap tured front line Turkish positions at two places, respectively on front age of $50 yards and $40 yards. Their tenure of the positions was shortlived, however, for the Turks, in two heavy counter attacks, forced the British right wing back upon its original line The left wing continued the struggle of attempting hold back the Turks until near nightfall, when it also fell back, covered by the barrage fire of the British artillery.
 Aside from this engagement, no fighting of importance is reported in the latest official communications. The operations on all fronts again have been carried out by small raid- ing parties and artillery.
 British Raid Succeeds. London reports that on the front in France, the British have carried out successful raid east of SOucheZ, while Berlin reports that attempted British advances southwest of Mes sines and north of Armentlerres, re- suited in failure.
 The artillery duels between the French and the Germans on several sectors of the Verdun front have again become quite severe. On the line from the Baltic to Ru- mania, there have been no develop | ments anywhere.
 i The usual artillery activities and skirmishes continue on the Austro- Italian and the Macedonian fronts. The Teutonic allies submarines continue the sinking Of both entente and neutral vessels, and Mondays re- ports from London show two more

AGREE OVER PLANS FOR
 ROAD SYSTEM
After Conference at Little Rock Last Night, Success
 of Plan Indicated.

That all differences will be amic- ably arranged, and the plan for the organization of a big road district, to build a turnpike from Grady to the Louisiana line, will go to the general assembly with the support of all fac tions, was the indication last night. at Little Rock, following a conference of representatives of several counties through which the proposed new road is to be built.
 The conference placed the matter, finally, in the hands of committee, which will report to another meeting of the conferees at o'clock this morning. Only one point is said to remain unsettled, this being the inclu- sion in the big district of territory in Chicot county heretofore included m the big district of territory in Chi cot county heretofore included in district being former under the Alex ander act, and # was indicated that this would be included, thus removing the last barrier to united action. It was stated also that Representative Thane, who introduced a bill for this district some time ago. would accept the amendments necessitated by the changes in the proposed district.
 It appears likely, therefore, that when the bill finally passes, it will call for a turnpike from Grady to Mc Gehee, with ateral to Arkansas City; the road extending entirely through Chicot county, north and south, and passing through Lake Village; and a lateral to and through Portland reaching the Louisiana line there, as does the Lake Village road meet the Louisiana line near Kilbourne. The lateral through Portland vii connect with a good road which is now being butt north from Monroe to the Ar kansas line, so that, when these roads are completed, the turnpike will extend from Little Rock through Pine Bluff to Monroe, thence to Alexan- dria, Baton Rouge and New Orleans, La

Posing as Moving Picture Men, Two Gathered Infor-
 nation in England.
MAPS AND PICTURES
 SENT TO GERMANY
Using Pseudo Newspaper Men, Alleged German Agents Obtained Valuable Data in Britain and Forwarded In.
 formation From T.. $.

Now York, Feb. 19-Agents of the department of justice arrested to- night two men charged with violating the federal law against carrying on a military enterprise against a foreign country They are accused of con- spiracy to obtain military informa- tlon in England to be sent to this country, and then forwarded to Ger many. The men gave their names as Albert Sander and Charles w, Wuennenberg.
 The complaint against them was signed by Judge Manz of the United States district court. He charged they conspired to employ agents to obtain maps, photographs and other information in England and Ireland for the benefit of Germany. The charges were prepared by John c, Knox, assistant prosecutor in charge of the criminal branch of the depart- ment of justice.
 Posed as Film Exchange.
 Sander, 35 years old, is president of the Central Powers War Film ex- change, and Weunnenberg is his as- slstant. Counsel for the accused said Wuennenberg had been a naturaliZed citizen of the United States for 25 years,
 According to Wm. B. Offley, divis- ional superintendent oi the depart ment of justice, the men are accused or taking to Great Britain agents who would obtain information of military importance which was transmitted here in letters and packages, written in invisible ink, and this was dissemi- mated in the United States to agents of the central powers, but chiefly to those of Germany.
 Inquiry Long Under Way,
 Secret service agents have been working on the case for months. They began the investigation soon after the arrest of Chas. o. Bacon. who claimed to represent American newspapers. Bacon's photo was sent here by the British authorities. and by means of it, Superintendent Offley said, the secret service was able to connect him with the operations Of Sander and Wuennenberg.
 The federal agents investigation is said to have involved at least 15 so- called newspaper men employed by Sander and Weunnenberg, and sent by them to England and Ireland. Military data was brought here by some of their number travelling as American citizens. Women frequently were used, sometimes innocently. to carry this information.
 Attorney Chas. o. Obberwager, counsel for the accused tonight de- Jared:
 My clients have been engaged in conducting an exchange for films and other pictures of the war, taken chief ly on the lines of the central powers. Theirs has been legitimate busi- ness"
