CITY ELECTION
 PASSES HERE
 VERY QUIETLY
Absence of Opposition tc Nominees Makes Voters
 Lethargic.

The Democratic municipal ticket was carried in the elections yesterday but perhaps there has never been a general election in this city in which so small a percentage of the voters actually cast their ballots.
 Absolutely no interest was shown in the election, and not much more than 100 votes were cast in the four cleo ton boxes. The largest ward in the city, the Third, with approximately 600 qualified votes. showed only 8 votes cast. There were 21 votes cast in the First ward, B in the Second and something like 9 in the Fourth.
 There was no opposition to any of the candidates. which is one reason why so little interest was shown. AS result of the election, the following 9 city officials will take the oath of office within the next few days: Mayor Simon Bloom, Police Judge J. F. Stewart, City Treasurer Harvey Hogg. Aldermen R. M Yance from the First ward, w. c. McBryde frorn the Second ward, E. T. Miller from the third ward and George Dalby from the Fourth ward
 The aldermen will succeed Alder men J. Frank Franey from the First ward, Ben B. Well from the Second ward, MT. Veil having resigned. some time ago, II. V. Bahlau from the Third ward and J. NJ. Simpson from the Fourth ward. The other newly-elected officials will succeed themselves.

OLD GLORY" NOW FLOATS FROM
 THE CITY HALL
Mayor Bloom Says Stars ard Stripes Will Wave Un-
 til U. S. Wins.

The Stars and Stripes yesterday aft ernoon were thrown to the breeze from the tall flag pole surmounting the city hall building. and Mayor Simon BloG.i announced that the flag will fly, day and night, until the United States has achieved it's purpose in the impending war with Germany.
 Mayor Bloom also announced that within the next few days he will issue proclamation, calling for q patriotic mass meeting of the citizens of Pine Bluff and this section, at which there will be speeches by prominent and gifted speakers.
 The mayor announced also that his proclamation will call upon all the patriotic citizens Of Pine Bluff to fly the Stars and Stripes from their homes and business houses, so that any one may know that every resident of this city stands firmly and unequivocally behind the president and the congress of the United States in the position taken to defend the honor, the dignity and the rights of the country and it's citizens.
 The mayor had some difficulty yes terday obtaining flag big enough 10 flay from the pole at the city hall, but when the flag was obtained t was but the matter of a few moments for seV- eral firemen from the central station 70 unfurl the emblem of liberty.
 The scarcity Of flags, large and small. in the city, as developed by the inauiries made yesterday by the mayor and other persons, is one reason why the mayor did not issue his proclama- tion at once for the flying of the na- tional colors and for the mass meeting. The mayor stated he had been assured by local merchants that they would immediately order stocks of flags, which will be here within the next two or three days, hence he decided to hold the issuance of the proclamation for two or three days.
 Sternberg Enthusiastic.
 H. L. Sternberg, who has just re- turned from a visit to St. Louis. is en- thusiastic over the wearing of small flags in coat lapels, as we'll as the flying of the colors from all homes and business houses.
 Tn St Louis, almost every man you meet has a small flag in his lapel he said, and the buildings, in the resi- dence and business districts alike. all fly the colors. Pine Bluff people should show their patriotism in the same way. and I feel sure they will, once their attention is called to the conditions prevailing elsewhere
 Capt. Sam Hiizheim also is en- thusiastic over the proposition for everybody to show his patriotism. The captain, who is an old n1ilitfaman. has particularly apt conception of the present international situation, and yesterday expressed his feelings in the matter of flying the national colors to personal friends in emphatic manner.
 Mir. Sternberg mounted the Stars and Stripes on the bow of his sub marine" automobile yesterday after noon, and before night a dozen or more autoists had taken the hint, and also were showing their colors. It is generally believed that as soon as the flags can be obtained Pine Bluff people generally will show where they stand by wearing the colors and by having the flags flying from thelr homes and business houses.

HARD fight PREDICTED
AGAINST CONSCRIPTION
Opposition in House and Senate
Gains Strenath.

IL Is becoming hourly more certain that
there will be hard fight both in the
House and Senate against the enactment
OF conscription law. The opposition to
the administration measure is growing
and yesterdays discussions in the two
Houses developed the fact that quite a
considerable group In both parties will
give voice and vote to their disapproval.
Nevertheless the supporters OF the ad-
ministration plan for raising an army by
selectiVe draft are convinced that they
Will succeed in placing the desired law
on the statute books.
Yesterday the discussion broke out on
the floor OF the House and Representa-
tive Howard, Of Georgia, a Democrat,
announced that he thought q volunteer
army would have a better and a braver
personnel than could an army gathered
by draft.
In the Committee on Military Affairs
Of the House the majority Of the Repub-
licans are known to stand by the admin
istration bill Just how stanchly the
Democrats will stand for the enactment
lem. Speaking for the minority of the
committee Representative Kahn, OF Cal
ifornia, a Republican who favors the ad-
ministration plan. said last night:
We should profit by Great Britain's
terrible mistake and not wait until the
war Is half over before We are forced to
adopt the conscriptive system. In Great
Britain, with the volunteer system, the
flower OF the nation fiocked to the colors
at the first call for volunteers. Today
these superb Britons and Ir1shmen and
Scotmen lie in unmarked graves all over
Flanders. Asia Minor and the Darda-
nelles. Hundreds and thousands of these
splendid fellows would be serving Great
Britain today as finished efficient reserve
officers II the draft from the beginning
of the war had taken men from every
walk of life, rich and poor, mobiles and
commoners, of every class and caste.
With the example she has before her
America should be wise enough to see
the light now.
In the Senate Senator Gallinger, the
Republican leader, took a different view.
He said yesterday: II have very grave
apprehension whether conscription will
appeal to the people Of the country at
this time"
Gallinger also pointed out that the pay
Of the soldier should be doubled. He
cited Canada as a nation which paying
its soldiers 20 q day had raised q vol
unteer army which II a similar ratio
should be taken in the United States
would develop an army Of 100000 men.
Senator Thomas. Of Colorado. voiced
the opinion that a volunteer force could
be raised and that conscripdon was un-
necessary Senator Hughes, of New Jer-
sey, introduced an amendment to the
army bill advancing the pay Of a private
from SIS to so per month.

'Often I wished I'd been a boy; 1

at the Gayety yesterday. You see.
continued the comedienne, II have the
paraphernalia for the part, three full
dress suits, two palm beach outfits, few
other coats, pantaloons and waistcoats
and, of course, all the other wearing
apparel that belong to an outfit of a
classy chap and a smart dresser. For
years have I played masculine roles on
the stage. but only once in my life
have 1 portrayed the youthful rounder
in real life. 1t was the outcome of a
bet. Imagine me sitting with three
young gentlemen at Rector's in New
York at the gay hour after the night
performance slipping claret lemonades
without ever being discovered. l was
so delighted with the experience that
promised my party to go out with
them on another lark the next even
ing. But my JOY shattered, when a
feminine voice reached my ear with the
warning remark, "Maudie. it's time for
you to go home" 1t was a monition
from ny sister Frankie, who happened
to be in the same popular resort. Nat
urally. the excitement got the best of
me. I hurried to the coat room. got
my hat and rushed for the auto to bring
me to my hotel. / never dared to re-
new my adventure of that night and
while I deeply regret the convention
alties which are holding women in a
certain limited sphere. nevertheless
realize that only have a place as
chappie on the stage"

Trespassing on railway property. at ali
