WILSON OPENS FIG.u TO GET COMPULSORY
 MILITARY SERVICE
Has Conference With It's Chief Democratic OppOnent-Exee- utive Will See Leading Repub- Iican Opponent Today.

Washington, April 9.-President Wilson threw the weight of his per sonal influence into the scales today in an effort to overcome opposition in Congress to the administration army plans based on the draft system.
 Summoning Chairman Dent of the House military committee to the White House, the president made it clear that he believes the safety of the nation hangs on the action of Congress in this regard. He will make a similar exposition of the military situation tomorrow to Rep resentative Anthony of Kansas, who has led opposition to the draft plan among Republican members of the military committee.
 In his action today the president recognized the fact that there may develop a strong feeling in Congress in favor of adhering to the old volun- teer system, and sought to bring home to MT. Dent, one of those who holds that view, the lessons to be drawn from the great war into which the United States now has been plunged and which all point, military advisers of the government declare, to the absolute necessity of facing the issue squarely and summoning men to the colors by draft.
 i A compromise plan may be offered : by the opponents of compulsory ser vice. A sentiment for such a move was evident in MT. Dents committee. before which Secretary Baker and the military chiefs of the War Depart ment assembled in full strength dur ing the day to support the admins tration's policy. There was no indi- cation. however. that compromise would he accepted by the president.
 Tn the Senate debate on conscrip- tion occupied much time during the discussion cf the regular army appro- priation bill. The question is not dealt with in the bill, but during the debate Senator Kirby offered an ancndment which would authorize the resident to call volunteers in lots af half a million each. The amend mcat is subject to point of order and probably will be disposed of that way without debate.

RAIL SPANS GUARDED
 ON SOUTHERN ROADS

Determined to keen American rail way lines open to traffic at all haz- ards, the War Department has placed military guards at practically every important railroad bridge and tunnel in the United States to prevent wan ton destruction of property by a few fantics who sympathize with the cen tral powers in the war upon the United States.
 It was announced yesterday that the protection of railroad property had been extended generally through out the south, with Mississippi, Ar kansas, Alabama and Georgia guards men assigned to patrol duty. The patrols are widely scattered, but in sufficient force to resist any attacks.
 Two companies of the Alabama Ma tional guard have been in Memphis for several days to protect the J. T. Harahan and Frisco bridges across the Mississippi. They are on duty constantly at each end of the bridges, in the centers and in motor boats under the huge spans.
 The effectiveness of the military guard has been shown by the wound ing of a trespasser who refused to halt on the Cairo bridge and by the arrest of a man caught riding be- tween two freight cars on the Hara- han bridge Sunday night. The guards have been instructed to take no chances, to halt every one who ap- breaches the bridges and to fire upon all who refuse to heed the command.

AUSTRIA HAS BROKEN
 WITH UNITED STATES

Washington, April 9. - Austria ranged herself beside her ally, the imperial German government, against the United States today.
 Relations between the United States and the dual monarchy were broken and a practical state of war between the two nations exists.
 Within a few hours after the State Department had been formally noti- fled that Austria had withdrawn her diplomatic representative, federal of ficials seized all of the Austrian owned ships, war bound in American harbors. Official Washington declar- ed tonight that the ally of Germany would undoubtedly accept these seiz- ures as an "act of war" and that an actual clash between the two coun- tries was apparently inevitable.
 The final break with Austria came because of her determination to sup port Germany in her campaign of submarine ruthlessness and because the United States refused to receive Ambassador Designate Count Tar nowski while his country was even nominally an indorser Of the German war plan which was destroying American lives and property. This was made clear in a lengthy state ment issued by the State Department tonight, in which the last few days of the Austrian negotiations were eX- plained.
 The statement declared every effort was made by the United States to ob- tain from the Austrian government a disavowal of the submarine war zone plan and thus to avert a break be- tween the two countries.

PACIFIST GROUP IS
 DWINDLING IN STATE
Recruiting For All Branches of Army and Navy-WOmen of Arkansas Want Full Suffrage and Are Raising Funds.
By Clio Harper.

Little Rock, April 1O.-Now that the inevitable has happened and the United States has been forced into the world war on the side of the allies, the neutrality that kept the people of Arkansas quiet for the last three years has broken down, the restraint has been removed, and the actual feelings of the people are com ing to the surface. The pro-German sentiment has become negligible, and even negative, and the pacifist group is dwindling until it is very small, and confined to a few Socialists and others who are conscientiously op- posed to war under any conditions.
 The patriotism of the people of Ar kansas, when the supreme test comes, will be found as great as that of any state in the Union. Flags are flying everywhere, loyalty meetings are be- ing held, recruiting for the National Guard, the navy and the regular army is going forward rapidly, there are some industrial plants that have of fered their services to the govern ment. and hundreds of women throughout the state are joining the Women's Service League, which seeks to provide for the participation of women in such work at home or on the battlefield, should such emergency arise. as can be best performed by the women.
 The Little Rock city council passed strong resolutions expressing and re- affirming the loyalty of our people to the President who, after years of pa tient forbearance, had been forced to state of war with the imperial Ger man government because of its ruth less submarine warfare.
 1 The First Arkansas mobilized at Fort Logan H. Roots Monday, the call for the Second is expected at any time, and there is already a strong nucleus of new companies for the third regiment. It has been rumorec that in the event as large an army Is called as has been mentioned, Arkan sas' quota would amount to abou 14,000 men, or seven regiments. The fever is running high, and from this time on every Lusitania will mean an other regiment of Arkansas soldiers ready to wreak vengeance upon war-mad oligarchy.
 The women of Arkansas have en tired a campaign for full suffrage and are raising funds with which t' prosecute the work. The large mum Der of women who are already paying their poll taxes and thereby qualify ing for the franchise is a sufficien refutation of the stock argument o the antis that the women do not wan suffrage. Primary suffrage has open ed the eyes of many, and it is conf dently predicted that equal suffrag will be written into the constitutio
