ALLIED NATIONS AXE
 IN NEED OF FOOD
Government Notified of Critical COnditinOs-Presi- dent Wilson Takes Up the Matter.

Washington, April 24.-Food con- ditions in several of the nations of the entente alliance have been re- ported to the American government as critical and as a result President Wilson and his advisers at today's cabinet meeting concentrated their attention upon what is being done to increase the food supply of the United States and provide additional ships to carry the produce to Europe.
 Realizing that it will take time to make more plentiful Aemrican har- vests, the immediate object of the government will be to prevent waste and systematize the distribution and exportation of foodstuffs.
 The question of supplying food, money and ships will play very im- portant part in conferences between American officials and members of the British and French commission.
 The president sketched briefly to his cabinet today the information al ready received from Foreign Minis ter Balfour of Great Britain. After wards it became evident that move ments already well under way to bet ter food and shipping conditions will be speeded up. The entire weight of the administration is to be thrown behind the recommendation of Sec retary Houston to Congress to strengthen the government machin- cry for controlling the food situation.
 Secretary Wilson reported that plans are we'll under way for in creasing the labor supply on the farms and on the construction of merchant vessels, Organized labor, he said, is lending it's active cooper ation. 'tj
 Several of the European belliger- ents and neutrals have asked for the assistance of the American govern ment in obtaining supplies other than food, but the details of these requests are being kept confidential so that the markets will not be disturbed

HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
 OFFICES PARTiTiONED

Little Rock, April 25.-Unable to extend the walls of the State High way Department, they not being of an elastic composition, Commissioner w. B. Owen is doing the next best thing to provide separate offices for his force. He is having most of the rooms divided in half with a wooden partition, which allows two forces to work in a room without interfering with each other.
 Commissioner Owen has also nov ed the draughting department from the fourth floor of the capitol to the ground floor, and sent the automobile license clerks to the quarters vacated by the draughtsmen. This was made necessary by the constant de- mand for information from this force. while only those wanting auto mobile licenses need visit the clerks which issue them, and they can as easily go to the fourth as the first floor.

TWO BILLIONS IN WAR
 BONDS FIRST OFFERING
Followed by a Second Issue in
 Four to Six MOnths-Bulk of Big Sum Will Go to Entente Allies for Food and Munitions

Washington, April 24.-Tentative plans under consideration by adminis- tration officials call for the issue of S2,000 0000,000 in bonds as the first public offering under the S7,000,0OO,- 900 war revenue law, signed today by President Wilson, to be followed by a second issue in from four to six months, and possibly third there after.
 While the whole programme is sub ject to revision, it is understood that officials also are seriously considering the advisability of collecting the pro- ceeds of the first issue in installments at 30 days apart and lasting over a period of from four to six months.
 Should the first issue be $2,0O0, ,O0O,- 900 and the installment feature be adopted, it is likely that subscribers will be given four months in which to pay for the bonds. This would bring revenue into the treasury at the rate of $5O0,O00,000 month, ample, it is believed from preliminary estimates, to meet the needs of the allies in this country, as we'll as American mili- tary and naval expenses, until the new taxation measure should begin to produce revenue.
 Indications are that the first issue will be divided among Great Britain. France, Russia and Italy and that some portion of it will be reserved for American military needs, the big proportion, however, going to the allies.
 In this connection, it was pointed out tonight that virtually the entire loan to the allies will be spent in this country for foodstuffs, munitions and other supplies.

FRENCH COMMISSION
 ARRIVES IN AMERICA
Will be Welcomed at National Capital by Wednesday Noon Former French Premier Has Almost Absolute Authority.

Washington, April 24.-The French war mission landed today at an American port and tomorrow at noon will be welcomed to Washington.
 When they reach the capital the war conferees of the French republic, headed by former Premier Viviani and the war hero, Gen. Joffre, will be greeted by Secretary Lansing and Mir. Balfour and the other members of the British commission.
 Pending the arrival of the French mission, vital conferences between British and American officials have been held up, although the way has been paved since MT. Balfour's ar rival yesterday to bring the two mis- sions and Washington officials to- gether quickly.
 M Jusserand, the French ambassa- dor; Col. Vignal, the French military attache, and Commander de Blantre, the naval attache, were in the party which met the members of the mis- sion when the French vessel which brought them across the Atlantic had made port. On behalf of the Ameri- can government they were greeted by Third Assistant Secretary of State Breckenridge Long, Maj. Gen. Hugh L. Scott. chief of staff; Lieut., Col. Spencer Crosby, Maj.

 Mir Powell, speaking in behalf of the government, for conservation of the foodstuffs, stated that food dictator has been appointed and will within a week take full charge of the food in the United States. He fur ther stated that the government was working quietly but forcibly, and that all agitation of any character had

SPEAKER CLARK AND
 LA TOILETTE IN FRAY
Former Opposes Conscription Bill, Latter Has Substitute More Than Sixty Members Waiting to Speak.

Washington, April 24.-Debate on the war army bill continued in Con- gress today with the desire to talk about the methods the United States should use in raising her millions of fighting men unabated. Leaders in neither house could predict with con- fidence when vote might be reached.
 The House hopes to vote by Fri day, but there are more than 60 mem- bers waiting to speak. In the Senate only few senators have been heard and Chairman Chamberlain of the military committee said tonight many had indicated their intention to dis cuss the bill before agreeing to a vote. He probably will sound out sentiment tomorrow, however, on a unanimous consent arrangement for a vote as soon as possible. The way the Senate takes this suggestion may have much to do with the position of administration leaders. They are loath to resort to the Senate's new cloture rule or to appear in any way anxious to curtail debate.
 Opponents of the administrators selective draft plan found new hope during the day when Speaker Clark let it be known that he shared their views and would mack a speech to- morrow in favor of the majority House committee volunteer amend ment
 In the Senate Senator LaFollette introduced a substitute for the admin istration bill, proposing to eliminate the draft feature and submit the questions of raising an army to a referendum, through the director of the census and the postmasters.
 Escussion today in both houses came largely from the friends of the volunteer system. It was not heard by large crowds either on the floors or in the galleries.
 The longest speech of the day was made by Representative Fields of Kentucky, of the military committee, who argued for the volunteer plan and declared that the War Depart ment's proposal to draft youths un- der 2l years of age involved a prin- ciple on which he would not be guided by the military experts of this or any other nation.

 Mir. Speed stated that the National Board of Underwriters has placed at the disposal of the government, all its inspectors and engineers and that the government had called for those in Arkansas which were connected with the Actuarial Bureau. He also showed how close is the survey being made of the country's resources when the government called for report on every fire hazard in Arkansas, which report was dispatched in less than 12 hours after hte telegraphic request came.

Little Rock, April 25.-Attorney General John Arbuckle on Tuesday received from the Memphis, Dallas & Gulf railroad draft for S13,859. 80 in payment for taxes in 1915. The settlement was made after judg- ment had been rendered against the railroad in the Howard county court. A penalty of 25c is included in the settlement. The money was sent to the clerk of the court at Nashville, where it will be proportioned to the counties to which taxes are due, and the portion due the state returned to the treasury.

rpfNCH WARFARE NOW
 THROWN IN DISCARD
o,., Field Fighting Employed ops. Western Front-"Last and on 1%a.;ding Push," Says Cap tured German.

British Headquarters Tn france ,n oa via London.--The resistance ar .ho German armies appears to in- .. .,sss s in accordance with the nearness ''a .so British approach to the Hinden burg positions.
 This is particularly true along the Dresent front, where the threat Is ssaust the Drocourt-Queant switch r,. which is depended upon by the c.rmsns r as the connecting link be- ...an their lines north of St. Quentin ,nd soutb of Lille. This is the switch ..w.rd which the Germans are fall irs hack slowly, but surely as result of tbe turning of the top of the orig nal Hindenburg line, running from met southeast of Arras toward Queant.
 The fighting which began at dawn yesterday beyond Arras increased in intensity in the afternoon and last night. The ground gained by the Rrtish was won in the face of some of the most desperate fighting on the mart of the Germans since the war began. Trench warfare for the time being is forgotten.
 The Germans, away from their deep dugouts, where so often in the past they were inclined to seek re- ruge during a period of assault, were urged by their officers to make every sacrifice. During attack and counter attack the cries of the officers to their men could be heard above the grind ing tumult of battle.
 This is the last and deciding push, for we soon shall be able to hold out no longer reads the diary of a Ger man officer captured yesterday. It is evidently in this spirit that the pres ent fighting is going on.
 The struggle of the opposing troops about Monchy may be seen plainly from the neighboring hilltops. The patches of woods beyond Monchy have served as shelter for the Germans in the last ten days and it was behind these late yesterday that the German commanders rallied their forces. With reserves brought up quickly they formed counter attacks against the newly advanced British positions where khaki-clad men were fighting rom she'll holes and shallow bits of trenches previously dug by the Ger mans From these woods the Ger mans issued in great solid ranks.

peanuts selling at corresponding
figures it is folly to say that we
can't do more for our schools
t'lan We did when cotton was 3 to
10 cents and other crop prices in
keeping with these. And we
ought to be ashamed of our
selves if we don't do more. The
time has come when any man
ought to be ashamed when ne
leaves home if he can't say he
lives in a local tax school district

adequate. Too many districts
are levylng three mills when they
