Light, when two enemy planes head
ed toward them. The British planes
closed on the nearest German and
opened fire. Two more hostile plan
es then appeared overhead and at
tackled vigorously, while three other
enemy planes passed astern. The
two British planes dived and speeded
westward under continuous volleys
from the rear. One Of the Germans
disappeared.
OF the seven Germans in action,
four were attacking Potter, who fell
behind his companion and began to
zigzag. Potter lodged, but was
broadside to all the enemy machines
and under their fire only so feet
from the water. His companion,
$50 feet above, saw Potter's machine
burst into fame, come down part of
the way under control, then crash on
the port wing tip. Potter was seen
last on the surface of the water amid
flames, which turned suddenly to
huge cloud of smoke. When the pail
had cleared not even wreckage was
yisable and the circlinc enemy dis
appeared.
New Shell-Loading Plant vii, Han

viii start soon from a new Govern
ment shell-loading factory in New
Jersey, one of four such Government
plants each of which is larger than
any similar plant in the world.
When turning out $4,000 loaded
shells a day under full operation the
plant will use 1000 tons of shells
and explosives daily, the products of
some 75 factories. More than 5000
workmen will be required. Plans
contemplate the employment of al
large number of women. The mark
ing of shells to designate size, load,
and range will require 25O,000 oPer-
atoms each day.
The plant has total area Of ap-
proximately $500 acres. More than
100 buildings, with an aggregate
0our space Of 100000 square feet,
will provide storage for shells and
parts and fer material a 2u'al city,

ton in the loading of artillery am
munition with high explosives
The operating plant consists of rs
shell-loading units, each independent
of the other, with equipment for
loading 10 sizes of shells, ranging
from the recently developed 37-milli-
meter to l6 inches. On two sizes of
shells the propelling charge also will
be loaded, the shell and cartridge
case being assembled at the plant
All other shells are assembled in
France.
In the construction of the she'll

Lightless night, such as are obselv- ed on Thursday and Sunday nights in the business section of the city, prob ably will be decreed for every night observance.
 The Pulaski county fuel administra- tion Wednesday was discussing this move as one to aid materially in con serving coal, which despite the facts that the weather has turned warmer and that Arkansas mines are work ing at about 80 per cent capacity, is still very scarce.
 General Manager Griffith of the Little Rock Railway and Electric com pany was to confer with J. K. Riffel, chairman, and R. R. Overman of the county administration, at o'clock Wednesday afternoon, and it was ex- pected that the order to turn off the lights in windows and signs, eae., along Main street would be issued in ample time for first compliance Wed. nesday night. H. C. Couch. state fuel administrator, who returned Wednes- day morning from . conference of fuel administrators of Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas City on Monday. approved the proposed plan.

 Situation Better.

Memphis, Jan. 23-Reports to river men here tonight from the gorges at Columbus. Ky, and Rich ardson Landint\ Tenn. indicate that the ice packs for the time being are holding tight. The main channel of the river between Richardscn's Land ing and Memphis late today seemed to be fairly clear of ice If the gorges above hold for few days and the temperature continues to mod crate gradually the shore ice, it is believed, will break loose and run out before the gorge breaks, thereby lessening the danger to river craft and other craft in it's way.
 At Richardson five miles of ice is reported piled up in places to a heighth of from 12 to 15 feet. The Dorothy Barrett and the Orion, two small river boats. caught in the heavy ice on Sunday, are damaged and frozen tight in the floes near the center of the gorge at Richardson Landing. No further damage to ship ping in the vicinity of this city has occurred. Serious damage tc ferry boat from the ice was reported at Helena, Ark
