GREET
 RENE VIVIANI IN
 CORDIAL MANNER
Head French Mission Guest of New York Bar Associa-
 tion at Luncheon.

New York, May 11.-M. Rene Vivi- anl, French minister of justice, was greeted today as the head of the French bar, by more than 800 Ameri- can lawyers, including some of the foremost Of the profession in this country.
 He was told by Charles B. Hughes, Geo. w. Wickersham and others, amid tumultuOus enthus' 'asm, how the profession feels, not only toward the legal aspects of the var with Ger many, but particularly toward the human side of it, and the comrade- ship of the United States and France in fighting for the cause of world justice.
 we have not come here," MT. Vi- viani said, "to exchange simply the amenities of international friendship. We have come to penetrate your souls, to penetrate yo"r hearts. We have come here to cause to appear to you, through us, the great soul of wounded France, of suffering France. Come to us, brother Americans, whose hearts have been welded to ours ever since Lafayette with his French SOL diers set foot on your soil. It is not for France, it is not for you, it is not for England, it is not for Russia, no, it is for the people of the entire world, it is for humanity entirely" MT. Wickersham, who presided, said:
 "We know how flimsy is the pre- text by which Germany sought to fasten on the civilized world that guiltiness which is upon her, as the stain upon Lady McBeth's hands, tn it will not out"
 Gift for Policeman. After leaving the lawyers, M. Viviani and members of his party went to the French hospital, where the head of the French commission spoke words of cheer to the patients. As the automobile was approaching the hospital, motorcycle policeman ran down an aged man. Both po- liceman and pedestrian were injured, the former seriously, and were taken into the hospital.
 M. Viviani, hearing of the accident, directed Major Dreyfus to leave an envelope with $10O for the policeman. Also he asked that he be kept in- formed. when he leaves New York, of the officers condition.
 After leaving the hospital, M. Viviani visited his famous country woman, Mime. Bernhardt, the actress, l who is convalescing after an opera tion at another hospital. When he left, the actress his face was wreath ed in smiles. Mime. Bernhardt ex- pressed her delight and seemed much cheered by his visit.

GERMANS MAKING BITTER ATTACKS
 AGAINST BRITISH
Grown Prince lRupprecht and German Grown Prince
 Not Making Headway.
Associated Press Summary. ]

Bitter attacks by the troops of Grown Prince Rupprecht and the German crown prince, are being made against positions vital to the defense of Lens and Laon, held by the British and French.
 Field Marshal Sir General Haig and General Neville are holding their re- cent gains and are throwing back the attacking Germans with heavy losses.
 South of the Souchez river, one of the natural barriers to Lens, the Ger mans made third attempt to recap ture positions taken by the British Thursday, and for third time have been thrown back. ~' A momentary footing was won by Grown Prince Rupprecht's men, aided by liquid fire, in the new British positions, but a brilliant counter attack recovered the lost trenches and left the British line unchanged.
 plateau overlooking the Ailette river, and only nine miles south of Laon, an important line in the German de- fensive system, the German crown prince is expending his man power freely, but Intellectually, in an at- tempt to regain lost ground. Throw. ing his men in waves against the French on both sides of the village, he has succeeded only in gaining about 200 yards of an advanced ele- ment, but his gain was shortlived, as French counter attack immediately evicted the Germans.
 On the lengthy front in Macedonia, the entente forces continue the of fenclve weth successes between Doiran and the Cerna river The British have checked Bulgarian at tacks southwest of Doiran and hold their recently gained positions with a tenacious grip.
 West of Doiran and west of the Vardar river, French troops carried by storm an important position south of Huma, on the Sebro-Greek bor- der, and withstood violent counter attacks by the Bulgarians.
 Twenty miles to the west and also near the border the Serbs captured two Bulgarian works north of Dob- rudja.
 In addition to inflicting losses on the Germans and Bulgarians, the en- tente forces in the Macedonian theater Thursday and Friday cap tured 300 prisoners.
 The British government has issued grave warning to munitions workers now on strike and gives notice of punishment for the inciters of the strikes, which are not authorized by the trades unions.
 Voluntary recruiting, the British war office announces, soon will be extended to men up to 50 years of age, both single and married.

Local Men Interested

Railroad zen who make their head quarters r're. or who operate into this city on train, especially of the Cotton Belt, have shown far more than the usual interest in the or ganiZation of the nine regiments of engineers, so-called. now being re- cruited by the United States war de- partment, for early service on one or another of the battle fronts in Eu- l rope.
 It is understood among railroad men that more than half hundred engineers, firemen, conductors and other trained operating employees have either actually forwarded their applications for enlistment, or have made inquiries as to the requirements expected of such recruits. The Graphic has had calls from quite 2 number of the railroad men for more detailed information in the matter than has appeared in print, and it IS generally understood that when the recruiting is ended, there will be on the rolls of the second engineering regiment many names familiar to Pine Bluff people and borne by rail- road men who are working here or who have been working here in tho very recent past
 Much of the interest was aroused as a result of the action of Fred w. Green, assistant to Vice President Herbert of the Cotton Belt. who ob- tained indefinite leave of absence that he might enter the army. and who volunteered his services in the engineers section of the army, hav- ing already gone to Fort Riley, Kan sas, to start his military duties. MT. Green is one of the best known and most popular railroad officials in this section of the country and many of the men who have worked under him on the Cotton Belt and the Lou isiana & Arkansas, have decided to follow his lead and enter the same line of service for the country.

Washington, May 11.-An interna- tional agreement that there be placed in the hands of 9 small commission possibly one man--the purchasing power of virtually every dollar of the billion to be loaned the allies and the additional billion they will spend out of their own income, is in progress of formulation.
 The draft of the proposed agree ment has been left to Secretary Me- Adoo, who has held conferences with foreign envoys on the subjects. Great Britain, France and Italy have signi- fled their desire to enter such an agreement it is said.
 The preparation of such agreement has reached the stage where the chief benefciaries of the American loan have agreed it will be to the interest of all to eliminate competition among themselves for American products, and have signified their readiness to pledge themselves to do so.
