@ZWZERsM0zzoNNEs

Little Rock, April 26.-Wilmington, Delaware, was chosen as the meeting place of the 1919 session of the su- preme lodge Ancient Order of United Workmen at the session of the lodge here today.
 The big parade of the order this afternoon was different from all others, if in only one particular-it was we'll supplied with music. There were over ten bands in the parade, which included several from Little Rock and the Robert c. Newton drum and bugle corps.
 Pine Bluff, Stuttgart, England, Hot Springs and other towns supplied bands. and the band from the Arkan- sas school for the blind brought up the rear in large tallyho. The parade was lengthy one, there being several thousand men and women in line. All carried American flags, and wore fancy paper hats. Governor Brough was in the front rank, and looked quite nifty. He wore a high hat with top of blue, crown of red, and brim of white.

PAUSE IS NOTED ON ALI SECTORS
 IN B|G BATTLE
London and Berlin Both Report Little of Import
 ance to Have T'ranspired
Associated Press Summary. )

y .J
 Apparently the sanguinary strug- gle that has been going on in the re- zion of Arras has come to a pause for the moment.
 Thursday there was no infantry en- agreements anywhere along the front so far as British and German official communications have made known.
 The London war office reports nothing except artillery activities at various points, while Berlin merely asserts that the days doings there is nothing of importance to report
 The only thing savoring of clash between the infantry wings of the helligerent armies occurred south east of Ypres. The Germans early Thursday attempted to raid a British post, but were driven off with cas- ualties.
 Likewise, on that part of the line held by the French, there has been a similar letup in the fighting, except by the big guns.
 After their sanguinary repulse Wednesday, the Germans did not re- turn to the attack Thursday in the Chemin des Danes region, northeast of Soissons. They also. failed to re- sume counter attacks west of Cerny and in the region of Hurtebiz farm, but violently shelled these two sec tors.
 In the Avrocourt wood, in the Ver- dun region, the Germans made an at tempt 10 wrest positions from the French, but were repelled by gren- ades.
 On the eastern part of the Austro- Italian theater, the Austrians are keeping up their vigorous Lombard ment of Italian positions and here and there have made infantry charg- es, all of which were repulsed.
 The British troops in the Lake Dol ran region of Macedonia have con- solidated the positions they captured from the Bulgarians Wednesday, pre- viously having put down four counter attacks, in which sanguinary losses were suffered on the enemy. Artil- lerv duels of violence continue along the entire Macedonian front.

 TO BE DEFEATED Senator Stone Nf Missouri Declares He Will Notr fnr ronSrriMion. Saying Prcsidcn! Believes Time for Ey-

Washington, April 2G.-The War army bill will be passed before the present week ends, and unless leaI- CTS arc far aficld, it will go through with the sclectivc draft feature, the object of fierce attacks, virtually as it came from the war department.
 The senate definitely committed it. self today to final vote on the bill before midnight Saturday.
 The house tonight was preparing to vote tomorrow, if possible.
 The senate is expected to put through the bill by large majority and to defeat proposed amendments authorizing the president to call for volunteers, by a majority of at least 15.
 In the house, administration forces are confident volunteer advocates will be routed by a majority of g to 10. With the volunteer substitute out of the way, the majority for the bill is expected to be overwhelming.
 There were 16 senators on the lis. to speak before a vote is taken, when
 
 rOrity Leader Martin made the meet ing hour tomorrow 10 o'clock, so all can be heard.
 The house sat late for general de- bate, which is closed except for the closing statements of Chairman Don't of the military committee and Repre- sentative Kahn, ranking Republican member, who is directing the fight for the administration plan. When general debate is closed in the house the 5-rninute rule will go into effect Former Speaker Cannon will be among those talking five minutes for the volunteer system Republican Leader Mann, favoring conscription. probably will not speak. nor will Democratic Leader Kitchin, under stood to oppose the draft
 Senators Hale, Beckman, Myers and Stone supported the administra tion bill today and Senator sherman opposed it. Senator Stone, conclud- ing tOday's debate in the senate. de- clared he opposed the declaration of war. but he would vote with the pres ident for conscription He said he
 
 to make the ages 21 to 40, instead of 19 to 9, and that it should contain provision that the president, when peace is declared, must give up his authority to raise an army under it.
 "We are needed on the battle line of Europe,' he continued '"There must be no hogging at home The president thinks the time is past for experiment. I agree with him. It is imperative that we act at once and get ready with tho least possible delay, and take that plan which will most certainly, speedily and efficient ly meet the demand of the hour. Pass this bill, and you will forthwith enter upon a plan that will not miss. It is an assurance from the beginning."

 BE EXPECTED HERE
Secretary NcAdoo Studying Require mrhts of Foreign Nations. on Which to Base Recommendation to De
 Made tO President Wilson.

Washington, April 26-Preliminary reports to the treasury department, upon which Secretary McAdoo will base his recommendations to the president as to the size of the first bond issue, under the $7,000 ,O00, ,OOO war finance law, indicates that the United States will be called upon to finance the allies to the extent of at least $100000,000, and possibly $500,- OO0,O00 a month.
 The tentative program calls for ex- penditure of virtually every dollar of the borrowed money in this country for foodstuffs, munitions, coal, cloth ing, railway equipment and other supplies.
 The estimates are subject to revis- ion, and indicate the following en- tcnte needs:
 For Great Britain. $2oO,OO0,c00 to $250, 100000 month.
 For France, from $100,0000 to $125, ,O0.000.
 For Russia, sum undetermined, but up to $100000,000 a month. de- pending largely on the ability of manufacturing plants to meet de- mands.
 For Italy, about $50,OOo,OOo a month.
 Should these requirements be met in their entirety, the $3,000,G00,000 available for lending to the allies would be exhausted in from six to seven and one-half months. It is like ly, however, that preliminary esti- mates can be pared down to point ,,,l,o dules, the huge loan could be made to- cover the requirements for much longer period, possibly for one year.
 Visitors In Conference.
 Secretary McAdoo and his assOci- ates devoted today almost wholly to study Of the entente financial needs and methods to be followed in plac- ing the money at their disposal. Dur ing the day the callers included Lord Cunliffe, governor of the Bank Of England, with Sir Cecil Spring Rice, British ambassador. and other em- bassy officials, delegation from the French commission. and the Italian ambassador, Count Machi de Cellre.
 Members of the French commission and Count de Cellere held long con- ference with Assistant Secretary Crosby, into whose hands has been placed much of the detailed prelimin- ary labor
 Indications were that MT. McAdoo would consider favOrably the sug- gestion that the offer, in about ten days, another block of treasury cer- tificates to the banks of the country, through the reserve bands. This sec ond offering probably will be same size as the first.
 Should the government decide to fi- nance the allies to the extent of $5OO,- 0O0,O0O a month, approximately $1,- 900 100000 will be needed to meet the requirements prior to June 30. the date on which the first proceeds of the bond issue will be available. Rais- ing $1 ,oO0, 100000 before these pro- ceeds are available, could only be done by the issue of other blocks of treasury certificates.

JURY INQUIRIES INTO DEATH AT
 STATE ASYLUM
Members of Board Minimize Seriousness of Charge
 That Patient Murdered.

Little Rock, April 26.-Altho mem bers of the state board of control minimize the seriousness of the charge that Walter Johnson, 33 a patient at the State Hospital for the Treatment of Nervous Diseases, was killed by blow administered by R. M. Roberts, formerly an attendant at the hospital, wnose present address is not known here, the Pulaski coun- ty grand jury is understood to have investigated, and there was a report today that one indictment in the case had been returned.
 w. H. Hall, chairman of the board, said the first he learned of the al leged killing was on December 20. when Dr. R. E. Rowland at that time assistant superintendent, informed him he had heard such reports. MT. Hall Thursday said he told Dr. Row land to make an investigation and re- port to the board.
 "The report was made to the board March 90, the day after some changes in the staff at the hospital were made" said Mir. Hall.
 Anonymous Writer Disclosed Killing.
 Fort Smith. April 26.-The first in formation Mrs. M. c. Johnson had that her son, Walter, had been murdered in the state asylum in Little Rock, early in December, came in the form of an anonymous letter she received April IA, dated at Little Rock on April 13, and which bore the Newport Joplin railway postoffice stamp.
 The writer referred to the murder as "one of the coldest blooded acts ever existed" and gave the name of a certain asylum physician, whom the writer charged with having sup pressed disclosure of the crime.
 Mrs. Johnson immediately wrote Supt. R. B. Rowland, who replied five days later that she had been incor- rectly informed as to the cause of her sons death.
