ALL MEN CALLED FOR TUESDAY MUST
 REPORT 10 BOARD
Board Members State Ru- nor That Men Not to Be
 Sent Is False.

Referring to report that has been circulated turnout the county that the negro selectmen called to report on Tuesday are not to be sent to Camp Pike yet, Chairman Edwin Loosley, of Board Mo- 1, and Chief Clerk Ben Harvey, of Board No. 2, both state emphatically that all men called must report or suffer the consequences. They ask that all citizens of the coun- ty aid them in getting this informal tion to the men called, in order that no one may have to suffer from the report.
 The troublesome rumor had it's foundation in an article appearing in a Little Rock paper stating that the boards had been ordered to hold up their quotas temporarily, but local board members state that while such an order was received, it was counter manded few hours later and the call still holds. They also point out the fact that even if the order had held, the registrants are bound to report when called, unless specifically noti- fled by their own board not to do so. Any failure to obey this call for serv- ice lays the registrant liable to arrest as deserter, with consequent severe punishment.
 Arrange to Entertain Negroes.
 Leading colored citizens of the Oty are cooperating with the board in planning to entertain the two hundred colored selectmen who will be gather ed in the city Tuesday evening prepar- atory to sending them to Camp Pike "Wednesday morning. It is understood

 DISAPPOINTMENT Daniels Addresses Labor Men on Need of Action
 In Ship Building.

New York, Feb. 22.-"The bitterest disappointment of the war for the Prussians has been the shattering of the belief that the labor of the United States could be stampeded by insidious propanganda," Secretary Daniels de clared in an address here tonight. Speaking with Samuel Gompers at a mass meeting arranged by the Amer jean Alliance for Labor and Democ- racy, Mr. Daniels predicted that la bor would not swerve from the patri- otic ideals which have actuated it thus far, and that when the war is over it will have won it's fight as we'll.
 "The need of the hour is ships. The hammer striking rivet is every whit as effective as the machine gun on the firing line itself. Not only ships for the navy, but ships fo rthe mer- chant marine. Our soldiers must go across the sea- supplies must go with them, and to those nations fighting side by side with us against the i'm perial German government, must be sent the food that is absolutely vital to the maintainance of their military strength. Every man who fires one shot at the enemy when he might use a machine, every man who fails to be on the firing line when the need is greatest, and every man who drives

Lcninc Orders Resistance.

Associated Press Summary)
 Facing absolute subjection at the hands of the advancing Germans, the Russian premier and commander in chief have taken what steps they could to initiate at least nominal defense against the invaders of their country. Orders directing that guerilla war fare be carried on and placing Petro- grad in state of seige have been is- sued by Lenine and Krylenko, and it is expected that the Germans will meet with some resistance before long. That the Teutons can be temporarily checked, however, is doubted in Pet rograd. The Russian army's debacle apparently is so complete that there is no shadow of authority over it's unites. Berlin reports that the first Esthonian regiment has deserted in body and offered its services to the German commander who is operating in the northermost Baltic provinces. The Russian navy, too, is completely disorganized, and while it is desired to withdraw warships from Reval and Helsingfore to Kronstadt, it is believ- view of the disuse into which the DdlClC IIccC lldS ldllcIls Ouly CIlC ouU~ mare boats areinaseaworthyco it is reported
 There are as yet no definite advices as to the rumored fall of the Lenine- Trotsky government. The proclama- tion directing that resistance be offer ed to the German advance, however, did not bear the name of Trotsky, who hitherto has been a virtual dictator, which may be significant.
 Push Further Forward.
 The Germans have pushed further eastward in the past 24 hours. In the far north the village of Haspal, on the south coast of the Gulf of Finland, has been captured. Farther south the city of Reishitsa, about 100 miles southeast of Riga. has been entered by thhe Teutons, who report that they were welcomed by the people. Still further south the village of Luse, east of Minsk, has been taken.
 It is noticeable that the German off, ficial reports are silent as to any progress in the region of Lutsk, but Austrian troops under General von Linsinten, who are "aiding the Ukraine in her struggle for freedom" accori- ing to Berlin reports, have moved east ward and have joined forces with the Ukrainian forces which are converging on the fortress of Dubno.

Railroad Administrator De- clares Transportation
 Facilities Ready.
CALLS ON HOOVER
 TO BE SPECIFIC
Says Ii Food Administration Will Give Location of Supplies, They Will
 Be MN,ed--Grain Movement Greater Than in Past.

Washington, Feb. 22. - Director General McAdoo today gave assur- ances that "so far as transportation is concerned" there is no danger from suffering from serious food shortane in the eastern part of the country.
 This was prompted by the warning given last night by Food Administca- tor Hoover that unless grain and meat movements greatly increase in the next 60 days the country is threaten ed with an acute shortage of food, and the program of food shipments to the allies will fail.
 In a letter to Mr. Hoover. the di- 1ector-g general of railroads declared that if the food administration will give definite information on the loca- ton of stocks of supplies intended for the allies, the railroads will move them promptly to seaboard.
 Grain Movement Greater.
 Simultaneously the railroad admin istration gave out figures showing that the movement of grain to the primary markets in the West within the last ten days was far greater than in previous years.
 Altho declaring their desire to avoid a controversy, officials of the railroad directorate today did not conceal their belief that MT. Hoover's statement was not borne out by facts shown in their report. Members of MT. Me Adoo's staff assumed the attitude thss MT. Hoover has dealt in generalitles, not supported by figures or other evi- dence, showing pessimistic outlook on future food conditions.
 Referring to the general food mov- ing situation, the railroad administra- tion's statement said the average num- Der of cars of grain being loaded is 5000 which isapproximately 6,00O,O00 bushels daily. This has been done notwithstanding that weather condi tions are still severe in large part of the country, and it will certainly increase in proposition as the weather moderates.
 Forty-two special food trains, con- taining 1269 cars, were sent eastward from Chicago and East St. Louis to New York, Philadelphia and Boston for transshipment to the allies between February IF and 19.

Americans Aid French.

With the American Army In France. Feb. 22.-(By the Associated Press. .)-In a patrol fight American from units under instructions ln the famous Chemin des-Dames sector killed one German and captured an other. One American was slightly wounded.
 This was the first time i' has been permitted to reveal the fact that new American units have entered the line. The troops have been there for some time. suffering slight casualties, but their presence was kept secret until it was certain the enemy knew they were there.
 Details of the patrol fight are as yet unavailable. beyond the unofficial report that the prisoner taken was captured single handed by a young American from one of the New Eng land states who. during the engage ment. dropped into shell hole on top of a German hiding there and later brought him in.
 The American forces entered the line on one of the darkest of nights, through a shell7pitted region dotted with shell-wrecked towns. The French general commanding the sec tor. hero of the Marne greeted them as comrades in arms and kissed tAe American flag.
 There has been no change in the general situation on the fighting fronts. Small raids artillery duels continue. as does the aerial activity.
 German artillery fire has been heavy north of the Aisne and in Champagne on the American sector the intense artillery firing continues with the American gunners doing the most damage.

Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 22.--As a war necessity the people must large ly refrain from eating wheat flour for the next 60 days, possibly for a long period. This statement was made today by on the authority of Herbert c.

A telegram was read from Mr. Hoover which made it plain that this country must imediately send food to the allies or lose the war. If it is not sent. ''it means one catastrophe" declared Mr. Hoover.
