Thousands tO Participate in
 Patriotic Rally Here Tonight
Hundreds Coming From Near By Towns and Country to Take Part in Flag Raising and Demon
 stration at Courthouse.

State to Pine, and out of Main, from the courthouse to Second, during the rally tonight.
 Campbell's United Shows band is to provide the music as a contribution to the demonstration; Dr. J. l. Norris will open the rally with prayer for the nation, and addresses on the events leading to the war declaration, on Americanism, on the benefits of citizenship and on the obligation each citizen owes the nation will be made by Circuit Judge w. B. Sorrells, Prof. Junius Jordan, Judge John M. Elliott, Judge E. J. Kerwin, Hon. Dan Taylor, and probably others.
 Resolutions endorsing the. presi- dents course probably will be pre- sented, and it is planned to have the entire assemblage joint in. singing the national anthem.
 Opportunity for enrolment in q company organizing for the purpose of providing military training for citl' zens will be given at the conclusion of the meeting. Judge Sorrells will be among the first to enroll. This company will not affiliate with the national guard, and will not be sub feet to call, except as congress may provide for the drafting of indivi- duals. The idea is simply to give citizens opportunity to obtain sucI knowledge of military work that in the event the need arises, they will DC better prepared to act

President Wilson Throws Weight of His Influence
 for Draft Plan.
KIRBY WANTS TO
 CALL VOLUNTEERS
Senator Stone Would Increase Pay of Privates in Army tO Four or Five Times Amount Now Paid, but
 Vardaman Opposes.

Washington, April 9.--President Wilson threw the weight of his per sonal influence into the scales today in the effort to overcome opposition in congress to the administration army plan. based on the draft sys- tenn.
 Summonsing Chairman Dent of the house military committee, the presi- dent made it clear he believes the safety of the nation hangs on the ac- tion of congress in this regard. He will make similar exposition of the military situation tomorrow to Repre- sentative Anthony of Kansas, who led opposition among the Republican members. 4a
 In the senate debSte on conscrip- ton occupied much time during the discussion of the general army bill The bill does not deal with this ques- ton, but Senator Kirby of Arkansas offered an amendment which would authorize the president to call for vol unteers in lost of 500,00O each. The amendment is subject to point of order, and probably will be disposed of that way without debate.
 Chairman Stone urged an increase in the pay of privates of four or five times the amount now paid, but this was opposed by Senator Vardaman who said he didn't think it lis busi- ness natter" but a matter of pa triotism."
 Before the house committee, Sec retary Baker stood firm for the gen. eral staff plans.
 In the senate the 1918 appropriation bill, designed to carry on the existing military establishment, made rapid progress. It has passed the house and came from the senate committed carrying a total of s27S,000,000, which is in addition to the $3,000,000 now asked for the army to meet the war emergency.

AUSTRIAN SHIPS IN U. 5. HARRORS
 AT ONCE SEIZED Baron Zwiedinek's Request for Passports No Surprise
 to Washington. BULGARIA, TURKEY
 MAY FOLLOW SUIT Preparations for Break Made by State Department Since April J, When
 Austria Attempted to Pre-.
 vent War Declaration.

Washington, April 9.--Austro-Hun gary, ranging herself unreservedly with Germany, has severed diplomatic relations with the United States, precipitating situation which gen. erally is expected here to lead to war;
 Baron Erich Zwiedinek, the Aus trian charge, asked the state depart ment today for passports for him. self, his staff and the Austrian con- sular forces in this country, and simultaneously American Minister Stovall reported from Berne that Aus tra had announced a break in rela- tions to the American embassy in Vienna yesterday.
 Immediately the treasury depart ment ordered the seizure of all Aus trian ships in American harbors. The Austrian crews were sent to immi- grafton stations, and American guards put aboard.
 Bulgaria and Turkey Next. I Whether Bulgaria and Turkey are | to follow suit Is unknown, but offi-. cials generally believe they will do so. Both Bulgaria and Turkey are be- lieved here to be weary of the war, but German domination of the central European alliance is expected to drive them as it drove Austria to break with Germanys new enemy.
 Telegrams prepared week ago in anticipation of today's developments have been sent to American diplomatic and consular officials aboard, in structing them to wind up their con- duct of the entente interests in Aus tria and of Austrian interests m the entente countries. Spain will take over American interests in Austria and Sweden will assume charge or Austrian interests here. %"
 Austria Sent Warning.
 In a statement tonight reviewing negotiations for the presentation or Count Tarnowsky's credentials as am bassador from Austria, the state de- partment reveals that on April Z, oe- fore the president went before con- gress for declaration Of a state or war with Germany, Austria served notice that such declaration would mean a break between the Vienna and Washington governments. This notl- fication brought to an abrupt end the state departments efforts to dissuade the Austrian foreign from adhering fully to German policies.
 The belief prevails that President Wilson will not ask congress to de-, clare state of war with Austria un- less some overt act against the United States is committed. It is assumed that no obstacles will be placed in the way of the departure of Charge Grewe, his staff and 200 other native Americans who are scat tered through Austria and Hungary. and such of the 1900 naturalized American citizens who may care to leave.

"I.IMITED LICENSE"
 ON PATENT IS VOID

Washington, April 9.-Determining important questions regarding con- trol by patentees of retail prices of their products the supreme court to- day pronounced unlawful "the limited license" plan under which Victo" Talking Machines and many other products are distributed.
 In another similar patent infringe ment suit of the Motion Picture Pa.- ents company against the Universal Film Manufacturing company and others, the court held invalid restric- tions of the patents company upon use of competitors films in it's pro- jecting machinesA
 The court held that patent grants for machines give others the right to use them subject to the patent rignt with any appropriate material or sup plies. This overturns the courts de- cision in the Dick mimeograph case.

NEW HIGH SCHOOL ID BE ERECTED
 BY HOME PEOPLE l.. c. Royse Is Awarded Con- tract for Building on
 Offer of $144,831.
INSTITUTION
 COST STA, ,666.85
Fhis Amount Does Not Include Cost of Furnishings and Equipment-Pine City Electric Company and Robin-
 son Bros. Secure Contracts.

The board of commissioners of the Pine Bluff Special School district yes- terday awarded to E. c. Royse of this city the contract for the erection of the new high school building, MT. Royse's bid being $144,831.85.
 Although several bids were received by the board, and opened Saturday, only two of these were retained for consideration, the others being at fig ures considerably higher. The Royse bid was one of those retained, the other being tender by Stewart & Me- Gehee of Little Rock to construct the building for $153,000.
 In addition to awarding the con- tract for the construction Of the building, the school board yesterday also awarded contracts for other work in connection with the erection of the building as follows:
 To the Pine City Electric company, for electric wiring $4,S95.
 To Robinson Bros, for sewerage, drainage, cleaning and heating sys- tems, all plumbing and gas piping and fixtures, $25,O00.
 Through the award of these con- tracts the school board takes on the expenditure of $174,666.85 for the new building. This does not include the cost of the site, nor that of the furn- ishings and equipment. The school board already owns the site of the new building, at Tenth avenue and Laurel streets, while the equipment and furn- ishings will be purchased out of the ordinary revenues of the board, which also will serve to meet the difference in the principal expenditures, $174,- 666.S5, and the receipts from the $165,O0O bond issue.
 The building, which will be three stories in height and with a deep and spacious basement, will be of rein forced concrete construction, and ab- solutely fire-proof, most modern in every respect. It has already been de- scribed in detail in The Graphic, and will serve as the main high school for boys and girls, the present high school building being intended for use as the junior high school upon the compile tion of the new building. Work is to start at the earliest possible mo- ment. and the building is to be com pleted in 26O working days, or about May 15, 1918. Plans for the building were prepared by Mitchell Selligman of this city, after MT. Selligman and Prof Junius Jordan, city superin- tendent of education, had visited a number of cities to study such build ings.
 The full membership of the school board was in attendance at the meet ing yesterday afternoon, nearly the entire afternoon being devoted to the consideration and discussion of the bids.
 The board adopted resolution in structing the president and secretary to have the books of the board audited by an outside auditor, and to have the report of the auditor published in the newspapers.

Commencement of Big Of l fensive Opens Successfully
 With Surprise Attack.
MORE THAN 5000
 MADE PRISONERS
Canadians storm Some of the Strong est Qualifications. Notable Among the Gains Being the Nemy Ridge,
 Thought ImpregnabIe.
Associated Press Summaryo

What seemingly is the commence l ment of hir offensive by the British forces in France has been taken along
 a 15-mile line, extending from Lens
 to the village of Henin sur Cojeul, to the southeast of Arras. On the en-
 tire line big gains have been made in the operations.
 Heavy casualties have been inflicted on the Germans, and in addition pris- oners running into the thousands have been taken, 5,S16 having been counted already, while great quantities of war material were captured. The opera tiOns are still in progress. The Brit ish casualties were reported to be light.
 Probably the greatest gains were made on the Emile front between Givenchy en Gehelle, north of Arras, and Henin sur 'Cojeul, southeast of Arras. Here defenses of all kinds, some of them heavy forts, were storm ed and captured by the Canadians. Notable among the positions taken is the famous Vemy ridge, which ire quently has been the center of sangui-
 nary encounters.
 EngHSn sprung SuTpTlSco
 The German line was penetrated to depth of from 2 to miles during Monday, and at nightfall King Georges men were still pressing for ward. The element of surprise was
 evidently a big factor in the move
 ment, for along the entire front re- gently there had been nothing more
 than small encounters and artillery
 duels. That the thrust of the British
 was quick and violent was gauged by the rapid sweep they made against positions which previously had been considered almost impregnable. The Canadians captured 2,O00 prisoners. The artillery preparations which pre- ceded the infantry attack is described as a veritable inferno.
 Not content with the successes be- tween Lens and Henin sur Cojeul, the British struck vigorously in the region of Cambrai, where the village Of Demicourt was captured and further progress was made in the neighbor- hood of Havrincourt wood, while still further south additional gains were made around St. Quentin.
 Aerial Encounters Numerous. Aerial encounters between the Brit ish and Germans continue. London reports that two German airplanes
 were destroyed, 15 others driven down and 10 British planes failed to return to their base.
 On the part of the line held by the
 French there have been only artillery

NO GERMAN FLAG
 IN COLLEGEVILLE:

Little Rock, April 9.-According to some residents of Collegeville, there is no German flag in Collegevllle; further, if there was one it would not be unfurled in view of the relations between United States and Germany. Mrs. John Hubman of Collegeville Monday said residents of Collegevllle knew nothing upon which reports that German flag was flying in the little town could have been based.
 we are Swiss" said Mrs. Hubman' "but while there are Germans Dy birth here, they have been naturallzed and are as patriotic Americans as could be found. There is no founda- tion whatever for reports that Ger. man flag was displayed in this town.'
