ENTENTE RESOLVE
 TO FIGHT TO END
CONFERENCE WAS MOST SATISFACTORY.

London.-The recent conferences in Rome and London between entente civil and military leaders developed the utmost harmony and determina- tion to push the war to a conclusion satisfactory to the allies, according to the opinion expressed by Maj. Gen. F. B. Maurice, chief director of military operations at the War Office, to the Associated Press:
 Our enemies" saii Gen. Maurice, fare fond of stating in their press that France has tired of the war, while hinting at a separate peace for Rus sia, but 1 can say confidently, as a result of the return of the delegation from Rome and of last weeks confer ence in London with Gen. Nivelle, that these meetings were much more important in bringing victory nearer than any recent military events. The result of these conferences showed the allies heartily agreed in determi- nation not to accept an inconclusive peace and that they are as one in their determination to make good job of it before they are ready to dis cuss terms.
 "In the purely military realm our raids continue with increasing suc- cess and diminishing casualties to our attackers, who bring back as many prisoners as our total casualty list, thus putting the enemy's dead and wounded on the plus side of our led ger.
 'The enemy's offensive in Roumania has been not only halted but pushed back step. This result probably is due to Russian re-enforcements, but weather conditions may also have had share in halting the Germans"

Berlin.-The entire bridgehead po- sition at Nanesti, on the Sereth line in Northern Roumania fell into Field Marshal von Mackensen's hands with the town, capture of which was re- ported, the war office announced. The Russians suffered severe losses in re- treating across the Sereth bridges, and 556 prisoners were taken.
 An attempted attack by the Rus sians in the Putna Valley, on the Western Moldavian front, was broken up and minor attacks elsewhere along this line were repulsed.
 Only minor operations in the other war areas are reported in the official statement, which reads:
 Western front: Aside from locally lievlier artillery duels and successful patrol enterprises on our part, the day passed without important events.
 Eastern front: Front of Prince Leopold: East of Baranovichi, Ger man raiding detachments entered Rus sian trenches and brought back r prisoners
 ''F'ront of Archduke Joseph: Tn the Eastern Carpathians hostile attack on the Puma Valley road that had been. planned was hindered in it's de- velopments by our efficiency artillery fire. Minor advances by the Russians were repulsed.
 Front of Field Marshal von Mack. ensen: Together with Nanesti, on January 19, the entire bridgeheal there, still tenaciously defended by the Russians, fell into our hands. Pome- ranians, Altmarkians and West Prus. sians stormed several hostile lines which had strongly entrenched points of support. The town itself was taken in a violent struggle from house to house. The Russians, streaming back across the Sereth bridges, were caught by our outfanking batteries and ma chine guns and suffered severe losses. One officer, 555 men, two machine guns and four mine throwers fell into our hands.

Some Arkansans and Louisianans Ali fected By orders-War Department WithhoIds Comment on Report
 of Withdrawal of Troops.

Washington.-More than 25,000 na- tional guardsmen now on the Mext- can border have been designated by Maj. Gen. Funston for return home and muster out of the federal service, under the order issued by the War De partment.
 All these organizations will be start ed homeward as soon as transporta- tion facilities can be provided. Their departure will leave between 45,000 and 50000 men of the guard still in the federal service doing border pa trol.
 The guardsmen designated for re- turn and muster out include:
 Louisiana-First Battalion Field Ar. tillery, Field Hospital No. 1.
 South Carolina-Troop A Cavalry Company A Engineers, field hospital company.
 Tennessee - Ambulance Company No. 1, Field Hospital No 1.
 Arkansas-First Infantry.
 Kentucky-Second Infantry.

 War Department officials continue to withhold comment on reports, indi- eating that the movement of Gen. Pershing's regulars out of Mexico is under way, and the statement an, nouncing the guardsmen designated for relief work does not connect these orders with the withdrawal plans m any way.
 The understanding has been, how ever, that with the return of the ex- petition in Mexico and readjustment of the border patrol all of the state troops gradually would be sent home.
 The departments statement said:
 Gen. Funston has selected these or ganizations chiefly in accordance with the rule of returning first those troops longest in service on the border. To some extent, however, this rule could not be followed without unequal weak ening of the border guard, and the de- partures from it are so explained. The total strength of the organizations selected is 25,243."

"bONE DRY" BILI.
 PASS BOTH HOUSES
IT WILL REQUIRE THE SIGMA TURF OF GOV. BROUGA TO

EIGHT VOTES AGAINST BILL
An Effort Was Made in the House to Amend Measure So That It Would Be Possible For Manufacturers
 To Secure Alcohol.
Little Rock.

lLlLlIC lbOth-
 The "bone dry" bill, providing that Arkansas shall be absolutely free from liquor, passed the Senate with but four opposing votes at 10:30 o'clock Monday omrning. Half an hour later an exact copy of the same bill was passed by the House with only four opposing votes.
 If either house passes the others measure, it will require but the sigma ture of Governor Brough for the meas ure to become law. The Senate has the House bill and the House has the Senate bill and either can be called up, passage of one sufficing.
 There was but little opposition in either branch of the legislature. In the Senate a move was started to have the bill called up later, when Senator Caldwell of Jefferson declar- ed that he had sent out letters re specting it, and was not ready to con sider the measure.
 An effort was made in the House to amend the House bill so that it would be possible for manufacturers to se- cure alcohol, but this holdup likewise was crushed without great opposi- tion.
 The Senate's mild filibuster was brought tu a quick end when Senator Garrett said that he believed the meas ure was sure to pass, and that it was due Senator Greenhouse that his meas ure should be the one to become law. He pointed out the situation two years ago, when Senator White and Repre- sentative Newberry introduced exact ly similar bills, one in the Senate the other in the House, and the Newberry bill, making Arkansas dry" was pass ed, leaving an empty honor for Sena- tor White
 When the statement was made, Sen ator Caldwell withdrew his objection to calling up the Senate bill and state ments by various members of the upper house ended with its passage.
