The Promotion of General Douglas McArthur .Urg- ed iii Letter to Pershing.

Washington, Dec. 27.--A striking tribute to the courage and skill of Brigadier General Dong!as MacAr- thur, commanding the S4th brigade of the Forty-second (Rainbow) Givi- sion, was given by Major General Charles T. Menoher, formerly m command of the division. in letter to General Pershing, urging for the second time, the promollOn of Gen. eral Macarthur to the rank of ma jor general.
 A copy of the communication has just reached Washington. It re- viewed the record of General Mac Arthur first as chief of staff of the division and later IS commander of one of its two infantry brigades ana disclosed that the young officer, s major of engineers wheh the United States entered the Wa. had teen twice wounded. had been decorated by both the French and American governments for personal gallantry in action and. in addition, had been twice recommended for the French Legion of Honor.

 "He has developed, combined, and applied the use of infantry and corel- ated arms with an effect upon the enemy, a husbandry of his own forces and means and resourcefulness which no other American commander in the field has,
 The itemized account of General MacArthur's services included the statement that the 42nd division Sustained the full brunt" of the German drive in the Champagne last July, and that it was the skill and personal supervision of this officer which made possible a great victory Later. during the Aisne-Marne offen' sive the 42nd was driving toward the Vesle when an incident occurred which General Menoher described as follows:

SORGHUM PLANT FOR PINE BLUFF IS NOW PRACTICALLY SURG
Secretary Bloom and Cam Brum-
 nett Secure Additional Acreage; Over 5000 Acres Pledged But Hill Land Wanted.

Pine Bluff can, with becoming self, and the most fragrant ones should be waited over towards the working force of the industrial com- mittee of the Chamber of Commerce. All readers of The Graphic are fa- miliar with the fact that nice juicy plum has been hanging over Pine Bluff for some time, as it is now generally known. and the import ance of which is being duly appreci- ated that the Fort Scott Sorghum , Syrup company proposes to establish six hundred ton branch of their plant in this city. No bonus has been asked; only that our people should guarantee to plant and culti- vate the crops necessary to furnish the products for the successful and continuous operation of the plant. There were clouds hanging over 1 the industrial horizon for a while. Those live wires behind the proposi- ton, though discouraged by the apa- thy of some who should have been 1 interned, never faltered. They were convinced that the apathy of the people was due more to lack oi understandinf. rather than not fully appreciating its importance, before the full realization was made clear to them. They realized that a cam- paign of education was necessary. This was started, and after the mat

The people grasped the importance of securing this sorghum plant quickly, and pledges were forth coming. Committees which have gone to the country recently havs been met more than half way. Now more than the required acreage has been pledged but pledges are wanted from the uplands, as the highlands are well adapted to growing the pro- ducts which will be consumed by the new industrial plant. and the re. turns from crops grown will go into the pockets of the very people whom this plant will benefit most.

 Secretary E. B. Bloom and Can Rrummett went out Thursday to se cure a few additional pledges, ant visited Redfield.

GAS SITUATION STEEL A PROBLEM MAY COME ION TODAY; MAYBE MONDAY
'The gas may be on Saturday, and it may not be on until Monday"

'The gas may be on Saturday, and it may not be on until Monday"
 That was the statement given out by an official of the Arkansas Gas Company late last night. The gas situation may be summed up by repeating a short conversation which took place in the office of the Arkansas Natural Gas Company late yesterday afternoon.
 One of many anxious citizens walked into the gas office, and asked in rather hoarse voice.
 Say Mister, what's the dope on the gas situation? was figuring on buy ing load of wood and thought I'd drop around and see if you'd advise getting it."
 Get the wood,' said one of the off, cials, briefly.
 And that is the sum and substance of it. The trouble is broken pipe line in the Sulphur river bottoms, south of Texarkana. Three sections of the pipe were destroyed when the line was undermined by the overflow from Sulphur river sagged and let go. The damaged portion is under from two to five feet of water, and coffer dam was needed to permit the workmen to get to the line.
 i Local officials said tcday that the gas may come on today. and maybe not until Monday. It all depends on how soon the broken line can be fixed. The fact that the broken part is under water, necessitating the building of the coffer dam will delay the mending f the pipe, and the gas may in all prob abilities be off until Monday. ] Materials have been rushed from { Little Rock to the scene of the break. and workmen have been busy since the break was located. A telephone has been installed where the trouble 1 is, and more definite news can thus be obtained.
 ! At any rate, there are many Pine Bluff people who are doing as the gas official suggested, and are ordering the wood." All of which means that "the old man" or Johnnie or Jim will have business near the wood pile, and the ring of axe against wood, and the steady scrape of the saw will be heard again after so long a time ill the back yards of many homes. Oil burners, while not usually popular, are being pressed into service too. And the whole family, wrapped in quilts, is surround ing a poor, smoky little oil stove.
 The men whose business it is to sell stoves have rushed galantly into the breach, and if the number of stoves is large enough to supply the demand everybody will have some way to at- tempt to keep warm. Coal dealers toe are having their troubles. About a thousand MT. So and Sos ordered coal-and expected it in their back yard in twenty minutes.
 The whole town resembles a move ment to "carry your bundles." Ex- cept in this case, the bundles are most. ly' stoves, stovepipes, and other things which adhere to, or form apart oi stoves. It's a comic opera in stovery and the theme of the opera is "lel there be heat"

 Calculations based on the most ac- curate information available show that the Germans have lost HOO, 900 men since March 21. Of this total about 500 900 were killed, permanent ly disabled or taken prisoners leaving about 600,0OO recupera'ble in four or five months. Their reserves dwin- dled during the same time to about the same extent, which means that the endorsements brought from Russia were used up.
 The American army in France next spring will alone exceed the whole fighting strength of the German army, but in the meantime divisions releas- ed by the shortening of the line, if the retreat is effected successfully and with a half million men recurepated from the wounded and 100000 men of the 1920 class now completing train ing, will constitute a maneuvering ar- my with which Gen. Ludendorff may be tempted to habard another stroke.

INDUSTRIAL LIFE
 OF BRIDGEPORT
 FACES CHANGES
Miss Christman of War La Dor Board to Take Up
 Cases of Women w Workers

Bridgeport is facing a profound change in her industrial life in the rapid induction of women into her in- dustries," said Miss Elizabeth Christ man, of the National War Labor Board, today. Miss Christman, who is Chief Field Representative for Wo- men Workers, and Miss Mildred Ran kin, Miss Hazel Hunkins, Miss Nellie B. Currie, and Miss Agnes Johnson, of her staff, arrived in Bridgeport yes terday to assist in the work of the Board, with special reference to wo- men workers.
 Until the present time" continu- ed Miss Christman, Comparatively few women have been taken from their homes for work in war indus tries. Most of the women workers have either come from essential industries or else from a previous forced unemployment. With the ap- preaching draft, hundreds of thou sands of women will become war workers who were never wage-ear- ners before. A man at the front needs at least six human beings working at home to equip and maintain him. Many of these must necessarily be important second line of defense in this war for democracy.
 But if they are to achieve maxi mum production of war materials they must work under just conditions and feel that they have a responsibility in the work in which they are engag- ed. They must be adequately rep resented in any scheme of collective bargaining which the government may institute in the interest of industrial peace and maximum proGuction. In dustria1 democracy Is not democrat ic when women are unrepresented and voiceless.
 Again, women must not be used as 'scabs' in industry in the present cri- sis. They must not be used to force higher-paid men out of industry or to lower the wages of those who remain This practise, the government has the most fatal effect on production. For this reason the National War La- bor Board has laid down the princi- pie that women doing the same work as men shall receive absolutely equal pay, and that in no ease shall they be paid less than a subsistence wage, or ii. possible, less than a comfort wage. We know that this will never be a serious problem in Bridgeport, for the employers have shown their de- sire to cooperate with the govern ment in all it's policies

 On both sides of Peronne, east of the Somme and the Canal-d -Nord the British are approaching the high ground between Athies and Nurlu Field Marshal Haig announced in his bulletin last night.
 Further headway was made by the British north of Equancourt, north east of Peronne. South of Marquion (six and a half miles northwest of CambraD the British have reached the east bank of the Canal-du-N In Flanders the British-American lines were advanced southeast of Nieppe and northeast of Wuiverghen. The Canal-du-Norde and the adja- cent waterways are the scene of the main fighting on the British battle front. The enemy made a stubborn stand there, but his desperate effort to check the British push to Douai and Ctmbrai availed him nothing. He had massed machine guns in great number and a powerful array of artillery on the eastern bank of the canal, but the advancing khaki columns defied the fire and crossed the canal at several points, capturing villages and strong salients on the en- emy's side of the canal. The German losses in this region have been heavy. | English and New Zealand divisions captured Ruyaulcourt, on the east side, and in close quarter fighting g drove the emeny from the northwest ern conrer of Havruncourt Woods, a broad forest, just north of MetE-en- Couture.
 | The Germans are strongly en- trenched in these woods, which bris- tie with machine guns. English and New Zealand units a little to the south cleared out the enemy from the west side of the canal, while the units above have reached the waters edge opposite Demicourt and Boursies.
 English troops operating south of the Havrincourt Woods then crossed the Tortille river and the Canal-du- Nord, entering Manancourt and Etri- court. Should Hevrincourt be carried the British would be within sight of the mNAn Heudenburg defence works.
