ENTENTE RESOLVE
 TO FIGHT TO END
CONFERENCE WAS MOST SATISFACTORY

London.-The recent conferences in Rome and London between entente civil and military leaders developed the utmost harmony and a determina- ton to push the war to a conclusion satisfactory to the allies. according to the opinion expressed by Maj Gen. r. B Maurice. chief director of military operations at the War Office, to the Associated Press:
 Our enemies, said Gen. Maurice. fare fond of stating in their press thaf France has tired Of the war. while limiting at separate peace for Rus sia, but 1 can say confidently, as result of the return or the delegation from Rome and of last weeks confer enee in London with Gen NiveHe. that these meetings were much more important in bringing victory nearer than any recent military events The result of these conferences showed the allies heartily agreed in a determi- nation not to accept an inconclusiFe peace and that they are as one in their determination to make a good job of it before they are ready to dis cuss terms
 Tn the purely military realm our raids continue with increasing sue cess and diminishing casualties to our attackers, who bring back as many prisoners ats our total casualty list, thus putting the enemy's dead and wounded on the plus side of our led ger
 The enemy's offensive in Roumania has been not only halted but pushed back a step. This result probably is due to Russian re-enforcements, but weather conditions may also have had a share in halting the Germans"

NO DEFINITE DATE HAS BEEN SET FOR WITHDRAWAL OF

Gen Pershing's troops from Mexico and the sending of Ambassa- dor Fletcher to the Mexican capital may be expected in the near future. No formal announcement is expected, but the decision of the administra- ton probably will be made known through action.
 No definite date for the withdrawal of the troops has been set. but as q result of the conclusion of the work of the joint cemmis don the question 5s now entirely in President Wilson's hands.
 The lifting of the embargo on the axportation of arms into Mexico has not been considered seriously. TAis point was taken up once by the joint commission but The Mexican mem. bers Of the commission said they could not be puf in the position of ask ing for the removal of The embargo while the American troops still were on Mexican soil

25,0OO GUARDsNEN
 ARE ORDERED HOME
THIS WILL LEAVE MORE HAN 45.ooo ON THE BORDER-SoUTH-
 ERN BOYS RETURN.
LONG SERVICE REWARDED
Some Arkansans and Louisiansns Al fected By orders-War Department WthhoIds Comment on Report
 of Withdrawal of Troops.

Washington.-Mor than 26,000 na tional guardsmen now on the Mex'- can border have been designated by Maj. Gen. Funston for return home and muster out of the federal service, under the order issued by the War De- partment.
 All these organizations will be start ed homeward as soon as transporta- ton facilities can be provided. Their departure will leave between 45.000 and 50,000 men of the guard still in the federal service doing border pa trol.
 The guardsmen designated for re turn and muster out include:
 Louisiana-First Battalion Field Ar, tillery. Field Hospital No. 1.
 South Carolna-Troop A. Cavalry, Company Engineers, field hospital company.
 Tennessee = Ambulance Company No 1, Field Hospital No 1.
 Arkansas First Infantry.
 entucky-Second Infantry
 North Carolina-First Infantry
 War Department officials continue to withhold comment on reports, indi- eating that the movement of Gen. Pershing's regulars out of Mexico is under way, and the statement an nouneing the guardsmen designated for relief work does not connect these orders with the withdrawal plans n any way.
 The undeEstanding has been, how ever. that with the return of the ex. petition in Mexico and readjustment of the border patrol all of the state troops gradually would be sent home.
 The departments statement said:
 Gen Funston has selected these or. ganizations chiefly in accordance with the rule of returning first those troops longest in service on the border To some extent. however, this rule coula not be followed without unequal weak enfng of the border guard, and he d. partures from fl are so explained The total strength of the organizations selected is 25.243.3'

BONE DRY BILL
 PASS BOTH HOUSES
IT WILL REQUIRE THE SIGMA TURF OF GOV. 6ROUGH TO
 BECOME A LAW.
EIGHT VOTES AGAINST BILL
An Effort Was Made in the House to Amend Measure So That 1t Would Be Possible For Manufacturers
 To Secure Alcohol.
Little Rock.


 The "bone dry" bill, providing that Arkansas shall be absolutely free from liquor, passed the Senate with but four opposing votes at 10:30 o'clock Monday omrning Half an hour later an exact copy of the same bill was passed by the House with only four opposing votes.
 If either house passes the others measure it will require but the sigma ture of Governor Brough for the meas ure to become a law The Senate has the House bill and the House has the Senate bill, and either can be called up, passage of one sufficing.
 There was but little opposition in either branch of the legislature. In the Senate a move was started to have the bill called up later, when Senator Caldwell of Jefferson declar- ed that he had sent out letters re- specting 1t, and was not ready to con- sider the measure.
 An effort was made in the House to amend the House bill so that it would be possible for manufacturers to Sc cure alcohol. but this holdup likewise was crushed without great opposi- tion.
 The Senate's mild filibuster was bro;.kh+ .u a quick end when Senator Garrett said that he believed the meas ure was sure to pass, and that it was due Senator Greenhouse that his meas ure should be the one to become law. He pointed out the situation two years ago, when Senator White and Repre-. sentative Newberry introduced exact ly similar bills one in the Senate the other in the House, and the NeWberry bill. making Arkansas dry was pass ed. leaving an empty honor for Sena- tor White
 When the statement was made. Sen ator Caldwell withdrew his objection to calling up the Senate bill and state ments by various members of the upper house ended with it's passage.
