BR0UGH PLANNING
 FOR NEW REGIMENT
GOVERNOR, ADJUTANT-GEN NERAL LLOYD ENGLAND AND DR.
 ELLIS CONFER.
WANTSFEDERAL RECOGNITION
Minimum Strength of Each Company Will Be 100 Men-Armories Will Be Established at Each Recruiting
 Point, PIatoons at Other Points.
Little Rock


 Governor Brough, Adj. Gen. Lloyd England and Dr. Leonard Ellis of Hot Springs, who, it is expected, will be appointed colonel of the Fourth Regi- ment. were in consultation at the gov ernors office over organization of the new regiment. After the conference i+ w. .annlsSsseafGited that offers to he. re cruit companies have been received from several towns, among them Fl Dorado, Gurdon, Warren, Prescott Hope, Little Rock, Fayetteville, liar rison, Searcy, Blytheville, Jonesboro, Pa agould, Paris, Governor Brough said that he and Adjutant General England are anxious to see recruiting progress rapidly so that the new regi- ment will be in line for federal recog- milton as soon as possible.
 Men between IS and 21, and between 31 and 45 are desired in particular, and men of draft age will be accepted with the understanding that if called they will have to go in the draft, un less the regiment should go into feder- al service before they are called. The minimum strength of each company will be 100 men. Armories will be es- tablished at each recruiting point and platoons will be sent to other points.
 Many applications for commissions have been received by the governor and adjutant general. Governor Brough said that the lieutenant colonel and majors will be accepted from a list of men of valuable military ex- perience who have volunteered for service
 The governor however declined to announce the appointment of any one to commissions.
 Lee Giles of Hope, who was in Lit tie Rock to see the governor, an nounced that he would undertake to raise battalion in the territory sur rounding Hope, in which event he probably would be appointed major; but no one has been promised any ap- pointments yet, the governor said.

HALIFAX HORROR
 STUNS DOMINION
Disaster Probably Most Fearful That Ever Occurred on the
 American Continent.
TOTAL LOSS OF LIFE UNKNOWN
Will Surely Be Numbered by Thous- ands-Stricken City One of Great Britain's Important Military
 Posts-its History.

The disaster at Halifax, which cost the lives of at least 2,000 people though the exact number will never be known, plunged the Dominion into mourning. It probably ranks as the most fearful that ever occurred or the American continent Residents of Halifax and thousands of volunteer re lief workers who came into the city were dazed at the extent of the hor. TOT.
 The Belgian relief ship Imo collidet with the French intuition vessel, Mont Blanc, loaded with 5000 tons of T. N T. and large quantity of benzine.
 The impact set fire to a deck load of benzine on the French ship and the flames quickly communicated with the munitions, resulting in practical bombardment of the city.
 The zone of destruction in Halifax itself extended from the North street railway station as far north as Afric. vile to Bedford basin and covered an area of about two square miles in the section known as Richmond. The buildings which were not demolished by the force of the terrific explosion were destroyed by the fire which fol lowed.
 District DenseIy Populated.
 The devastated district was the old CT part of Halifax and ,thiekly popu- lated. It contained, in addition to Citadel hill, many churches and schools, the railway station, govern ment backyard, Wellington barracks Admiralty House (the official resi- 'dence of the admiral in command of the North American British squad ron), the military hospital, post office provisional parliament building, city hall, the ordnance department, most of the department stores, all of the tele- graph and cable offices and a few ho- tels.
 The better residence district was al- most unharmed. It lies southward from the Queens, and includes most of the churches, including St. Mary's Ro- man Catholic cathedral.
 In the fire-swept section were the parliament buildings, post office, three newspaper offices Royal Bank of Can ada, Canadian Bank of Commerce, Bank of Nova Scotia, Bank of British North America and the Bank of Mon- treal.
 Other structures destroyed are Dal- housie college, two Roman Catholic convents. the Presbyterian Theological college, the government technical col lege, 42 churches and so factories, in- cfuding iron foundries, breweries, dis tilleries and two sugar refineries.

More Autos Here.

The State Highway Commission has Issued 2S,S60 automobile license tags, which is nearly twice as many as were issued in 1916 and more than three times as many as were issued in 1915. Unless the war has great effect on the automobile industry, it is believed the figures will reach 50,000 next year. In 1916, 15,423 tags were issued, as com pared with S,021 in 1915. It is believ- ed that very few tags Vi be sold be- tween now and January 1.
