MONROE COMPLAINS
 Of PINE BLUFF RATES
Louisiana City Will Present Matter of Local Advantages to Commerce
 Commission.

Warren M. Taylor, manager of the local traffic bureau, received notice yesterday that complaint had been made by the Monroe, La., Chamber of Commerce, to the Interstate Com merce commission to the effect that the merchants of that city are un- able to do any business in the state of Arkansas on account of the fact that Pine Bluff merchants have lower freight rates to meet.
 The Monroe organization has set forth it's claims, in lengthy com plaint, a copy of which is now in the office of MT. Taylor, and hearing will be given the matter on December l17, before the Interstate Commerce commission in that city. Manager Taylor of the local traffic bureau, will be present at the hearing to represent local interests.
 The complaint states that due to the fact that the freight rates on merchan. ldise shipped from this city have been lowered considerably, the merchants lof Monroe are unable to compete with the prices of local business houses ant
 consequently are unable to do any business in the southern part of this lState.

air seemed full of the whip-lash of bullets. Someone shouted and ges-
 ticulated. The men broke into sham
 bling run. A hand-grenade burst in the mud a yard or two short of the embrasure; then like pack of hounds men crowded forward to the quarry. A section circled the rear and rifle fir
 ing broke out at close quarters. Bull
 lets were aimed at the elits, and the
 bullets that went true ricochetted in-
 side the pillbox in search of their
 target. Suddenly a wild figure in
 khaki appeared gesticulating on the ldomed concrete top, knelt down and threw something through the embras- ure. A moment and the narrow slip ispouted flame and smoke wreathed the
 group. Then all was quiet. | Three minutes later two wounded British soldiers were keeping watch over the three remaining live members of the captured garrison. The wave
 of attack had passed on over the de- lenses and the pillbox had fallen.

GERMANY SHORT ON SHOES.
Less Than One Seventh Leather Nee
 essary for Winter.

Zurich, Nov. 30.-Significant in part because German newspaper, the Constance Gazette, publishes the in- formation, comes word that Germany today possesses less than one-seventh enough leather and completed shoes to supply it's population for the com ing winter.
 The figures, says the newspaper, arc the more alarming because they are based on population of fifty million which averages but one pair of shoes and three sets of soles, per year. Since certain classes of workers, adds the Gazette, must absolutely have more shoes than this, the gravity of the situ. ation is increased, and is not apt to b, allayed by the production, as planned at present, of shoes Of cloth witl wooden soles.

 The club voted to contribute $25 to the Associated Charities "Christmas basket" fund, in addition to work to be undertaken by the individual memebrs in seeking out and endeavoring to make happier those folk in every com munity who may best be described by the term "poor but proud" This was Sol Klarberg's idea, approved by A.

PlLLBOX" SMASHING
 SCIENCE BY BRITISH
Removing Gun Emplacements, Grin, and Dirty Work for Men in

 Behind British Lines in France, Nov. 3O.-The business of attacking the German "pillboxes" has been re- duced almost to mathematical sci ence by the British army. Pillboxes which are not "done in" by the big guns in the preliminary lombard ment are rushed by the infantry and a grenade is dropped through one of the loop-holes.
 man line few days ago illustrated the anti -pillbox technique. The attack was made under desperate weather condi- tions. A cold wind cut through the mems drenched clothing and heavy rain drops stung their numbed faces. The line of craters and shell holes which the advanced British troops held was thigh deep in water and mud while sections of the hastily raised sand-bag parapet kept slipping down as the sodden earth gave way. The waiting men were almost deafened by the overhead blast of the artillery drumfire. The orders of the officers could hardly be heard few feet away and had to be shouted down from crater to crater along the irrgular line
 The men had been ready for a long time, but in these modern battles all depends upon the guns, and everything must wait for them to finish off their work. At least the moment came whistles blew faintly, inarticulate voices sounded and the fire curtain lifted so that the earth of the first objective lay quiescent and smoking no longer spouting in black, flame shot plumes toward the sky.
 l There was no instant leaping from ] the trench. Men clambered cum. brously up the slippery stacis of the craters, falling on hands and knees 1T the mud. Here and there soldier helped falling comrade to regain his balance. Voices cursed, laughed or complained; non-commissioned of ficers herded on their sections and tht attack was launched. Right and left the ploughed and crated surface .o1 the barren earth seemed to disgorg' men who moved slowly, some at wid' intervals, some grouped together cir cling the edge of some quagmire.
 Noises were all confused and indis tinct; enemy shells burst overhead but their report was dorwned by thu thunder of the British barrage. Some where up-wind smoke bombs had beer lighted and the wind carried down ; protecting veil of mist and the seen of chemicals. An occasional man fel I face downward in the mud; others
 not so badly hit. rolled into the de
 captive cover of water-filled crater

 ] Gradually the men struggled up tn crest of the rise, panting and out-o1
 breath. Concrete pill-box gun en1 placements bulged shattered and eS , posed amonp the craters. M One pill-box atop the crest was sti . in action. From it's mound of cart came the familiar rat-rat-tat, and tn
