LITTLE ROCK WANTS 1918
 MEET NATL EDITORIAL ASSN

Little Rock, May BOA strong or ganization is being perfected to se- cure the 1918 meeting of the National Editorial Association for Little Rock and Hot Springs. The business and commercial organizations of the two cities are active in the matter, and will send a delegation to Minneapolis the second week of the convention in July to present the invitation. There will also be big delegation from the Arkansas Press Association. The lat est addition to the boosters is Gov. Brough, who has agreed to visit Min neapolis during the convention, and add his persuasive eloquence to the invitation.
 Gov. Brough has addressed the fol- lowing invitation to E. H. Tomlinson, president of the association:
 "It gives me great deal of pleas ure as governor of the State of Ar kansas to extend to you and your association most cordial invitation to hold your next annual meeting within the state of Arkansas. We have several cities within our midst that can entertain you royalty and extend you a ringing welcome and make you proud of the fact that you decided to come to this state for your next annual convention. Little Rock has reputation throughout the state for the grace with which it entertains visitors; and Hot Springs has the re- putation throughout the country as the greatest health resort on the globe. In short, we wish you to come and hold your next convention with us; we shall welcome you with open arms, and the mayor of the city to which you shall decide to come will turn over the keys of the city to you, and we will have a pardon 'on ice' for any of your members who shall walk the primrose path while in our midst"

DRIVE ON TUETONSIN
 ROUMANIA EXPECTED
Italian Offensive Overshadowed by New Offensive-Enemy is Fast Closing in on EnvirOns of Trieste.

London, May 29.-"Russo-Rouman- ian attacks are expected"
 Even the news from the Italian theater was overshadowed in interna- tional importance today by the sen- tence contained in the German war office report on operations in the east. It flashed before the public imagination the picture of a great drive against the Teutons on front that the Germans have stripped to fill the gaps in the west and the Aus trians to stiffen the backbone of the Carso and Gorizia armies. A drive on this thinly held front would mean a belated realization of the entente plan mapped out at the Rome confer ence, simultaneous entente offensive on the eastern, western, Italian, Ma cedonian and Mesopotamian fronts. The Russian revolution and the sub sequent demoralization of the Rus sian army wrecked this plan. Now, with Kerenski in the Russian war ministry and the watchword "Iron discipline" returning to the Russian front, the hope is revived that the plan may yet materialize.
 Minister Kerenski only recently visited the Roumanian front. The Roumanan army has been thoroughly reorganized. It is believed to have been left unaffected by the demorali- zation among the Russian troops. The same German official report which heralded Russo -Roumanian at. tacks spoke of new flareup of fight | ing in Macedonia, both in the Cerns Bend, on Sarrail's left, and on the Vardar, his center.
 In the Caucasus the Russians ap. pear to have rallied after a series oi reverses. Petrograd today announced the repulse of Turkish attacks south of Van.
 Meanwhile the "calm before the storm" continued on the west front There were only local attacks and counter thrusts last night and today The French captured a small German post on the Verdun front. north of Vacheruville. They beat off two leu ton thrusts near Hurtebise farm.
 The French flyers yesterday brought down seven German air planes and forced 12 others to des- cend behind the German lines.
 Violent artillery combats in the Champagne presaged new infantry fighting.

U. s. ARMY BOARD
 INSPECTS CAMP SITE

Little Rock, May 30.-The U. s. Army Board of Inspection is here to- day to inspect the site of the pro- posed division camp, at Fort Logan H. Roots. Upon their report depends the location of the camp at this place. The business interests of Little Rock are determined to secure the camp, and in order to do so will pledge the government anything that may be asked.
 The two principal requirements will be an adequate supply of water and the transportation facilities. To pro- vide these things the Board of Com merce has raised total of S250,000 scarcely without public knowledge, for the purpose of extending the street railway lines to the further end of the proposed camp, and digging deep wells. Options have been se- cured upon a large area of land for the camp, and the plans contemplate the leasing of the St. Joseph's Or phanage as a part of the military plant, in which the officers are to be quartered.
 The stationing of nearly 30,000 troops here will mean the monthly distribution of at least $1,000,000 in salary and commissary accounts, and will be one of the greatest achieve ments ever accomplished by the city.
 The prospects for success are very gratifying.

GETS new COURSE Of STUDY
COUNTY SUPT. BARNES PUTS IN
NEW SYSTEM IN SCHOOLS
OF THE COUNTY

A new course Of study, recently
adopted by the state department of
education, has been received by Coun.
ty Superintendent Barnes and has been
sent to the teachers in all the districts
in this county. This course, which was
planned by Miss Theda Gildemeiste1
of the Winona normal, was adopted by
the state department in order to stand.
schools throughout the entire state.
One advantage Of the new system
will be that pupils who move from one
county to another may know at once
their place in the new school. Under
the old system pupil, in moving from
one county to another, might have to
wait several months before his or her
place in the new school is found.

IF. I'd. TOWNS SN0WB0UND
TRAFFIC TIED UP FOR NEARLY
TWO WEEKS SUPPLY
WAS LOW

As a result of the bad blizzard last
Sunday and the one a week previous,
traffic has been almost at standstill
on the l.. F. & D. branch, and the fore
part Of this week Grey Eagle and
other small towns along that line were
beginning to feel the effects very
much.
The snow so completely b1ockaded
the branch line the first of last week
that not single train was run for
several days. Four train crews were
tied up at Morris all last week, the
tracks finally being cleared sufficient
ly ON Saturday 80 that they were able
to get out. But Sundays blizzard
blocked the tracks again, and even
worse this time, as the snow was pack
ed down solid by the strong wind.
No trains were run on the branch
this week until Wednesday, when a
full trainload of freight, including
foodstuffs, fuel, ETC., was sent out to
be distributed in the towns as far as
Sauk Centre. Telephone messages
from the towns along the branch stated
that food supplies were getting very
low and in Grey Eagle the oil supply
was entirely gone Wednesday. Early
yesterday morning passenger train
was run as far as Sauk Centre. It was
not possible 10 20 further as the work
of clearino the tracks goes very slow
ly, and the territory west of Sauk Gen.
tire was hit worst by the blizzard.
Trainmen who were tied up in Morris
last week stated that in many places
the snow drifts were eight to ten feet
high and the men had to use "tarm-
stropg' to clear the tracks as the rail-
way snow plows refused to bulge in
the drifts.
