Company Refuses to En- ter Into Any Compromise
 With City Consumers.
CITY WILL FIGHT
 MATTER TO FINISH
Legal Proceedings Probably Instituted if Raise COmes-May Take Case to Fuel Administration
 Heads.

The Arkansas Natural Gas Com many will not enter into compro- mise with the local gas consumers regarding the rates which this con- cern proposes to establish on Jan nary 1. This announcement was made yesterday to Secretary B. B. Bloom of inc Chamber of Commerce by w. B. Smith attorney for the gas company, and is regarded by local gas consur1- CTS as final statement. AS a result if is certain that legal proceedings will be instituted to prevent the gas company from establishing the pro posed rates.
 Mr. Smith stated to MT. Bloom that General Manager Munce had returned yesterday afternoon from Philadel- phia, where he had been in attend- ance at a special meeting of the board of directors of the gas company, and that the directors could not agree that compromise in the rates should be reached, and MT. .Munce was given instructions to establish the proposed rates as per the schedule. MT. Smith stated that Mf. Munce had presented the case of the local consumers in a concise manner, but due to the added expenses of operations, etc., the di- ! rectors were of the opinion that the rates would have to be raised as per the proposed schedule.
 Secretary Bloom stated last night that the attorneys for the various irl- < dustrial plants who use gas as a fuel are now at work on an appeal to the fuel administration, asking that that body prevent the proposed rates from being established, and that as soon as the rates are put into effect some legal action will be taken to prevent their enforcement The matter has been taken up by the city council, and under the state law. as well as the city statutes, the city is vested with the authority to have the. gas com pany bring their books into court and prove that such raise in their rates is necessary for thei operation of the company. h
 The proposed increase in the local gas rates would. mean that the fuel cest of the local industrial plants would be- increased over $100.00O an : nually,, The fuel cost of the Pine Bluff Company alone would amount to over $150 day more than that which exists at the present time. according to officials of that public service cor poration, and this would mean that the rates on electricity and water would probably be raised. The local gas consumers have determined that the rates will not be established as proposed by the gas company without legal fight of considerable magni- Jude, and state that every recourse possible will be resorted to in their efforts to prevent the establishment or the proposed rates.

CHARGE PACKERS FROZE 0UT ALL
 SMALL DEALERS
Senate Committee Hears How Grip on By Products
 Business Was Obtained.

Boston, Dec. 2S.-Squeezing the small dealers out of competition by the alleged grip of the big packers upon the meat rendering soap and fertilizer industriec of the country, was depicted today by witnesses be- fore the trade commission. which has transferred it's hearing in the meat industry and it's relation to the high cost of living temporarily to this city. Francis J. Reney, special counsel for the commission, said the packers controlled the rendering business from the purchase of butchers waste to the manufacturer Of valuable by products. Not only the rendering business. but even corner store trade in meat was sought by the packers, witnesses declared. Large markets were established in strategic po- sitions in various large cities at which packers named the price at which meat could be sold at retail, according othe testimony. These prices were said to be below those at which the small retailers could sell. As result it was said the small re- tailers were closing up their shops, in ever increasing numbers because their custolnerse we're drawn to the large stores.

COLLECTIONS FOR . ::
 RED GROSS PUSHED
Executive Committee Takes Steps to Secure Collection of Delinquent
 Subscriptions.

E. B. Bloom, T. J. Collier and Stanley Dreyfus were appointed d committee to arrange for the collec- tion of the delinquent war fund sub scriptions to the American Red Cross society at the meeting of the eXecu- tive committee of the local chapter of this order last night.
 It is estimated that there is between $6,0O and $7,O00 which was subscribed during the war fund campaign in this city that has never been paid, and eff forts will be made by the committee to secure the collection of these amounts. The services of collector will probably be used in an endeavor to clean up the delinquent and over- due amounts.
 It was announced last night that the sewing rooms will reopen on Jan uarv 7, and an urgent call was issued last night for more workers in the surgical dressings department. The divisional headquarters has requested the local chapter to send in as much material of this nature as possible, as it is very necessary at the present time, and members of the local chap ter are anxious to secure more volun- teers for work of this class.
 It was decided last night to have the books of the local chapter audited be- fore issuing the reports of the past years work. The meeting last night was presided over by Rev. H. A. Stow ell, chairman of the local chaper.

Years Close Sees Germans
 Losers on Western Front
Million Casualties Hundred of Square Miles of Terri tory, 10000 Prisoners 1,400 Guns Lost to French Troops by Prussian Gro wn Prince.

French Front, Iec. 2S.-fCerfes- pondence of The Associated Press) -, One million casualties have been suf- fered by the Germans armies along the front occupied by the French troops during 1917, according to sta tistics carefully | complied. French territory amounting to many hun dreds of square miles has been freed from German domination by the years fighting and the German Crown Prince Frederick has been compelled to suffer the modification prisoners from among his best troops in French hands. His cannon to the number of 400 have been captured, and, naddition, thousands of mach ine-guns and hundreds of trench mor- tarS.
 Although the defeated Germans did their utmost before withdrawing to turn the fertile fields and picturesque villages of the Somme and Aisne regions into a desert waste, these acts of vandalism did them more harm than it did the French, whose soldiers were stirred thereby to a even stronger determination than be- fore to beat back the German invader. Three dominant events on the front of the French armies have mark ed the year and each has terminated in brilliant victory for F'rerca arm ies. First came the enforced retreat in March of the German forces from the greater part of the departments of the Somme, Disc and the Aisne, brought about by the combined smashing blows delivered by the French and British. during the bat. tie of the Somme in the fall of 1916. Then followed the French offensive on the Aisne and in Champagne,
 whose conclusion came only at the end of seven months of almost con
 tinuous fighting with the capture from the Crown Princes armies O! the key of the Hindenberg position | formed by the Fort of IMalmaison and
 their reluctant retirement from the | famous Chemin des Danes. This left
 in the French hands all the good ob-
 serveratories useful for future oper.
