minds of many of their adherents as
to their capabilities for intelligent &C.

Most people in this county count L.

ALLIES BOMBING PLANES 4
WORKING IN SQUADRONs

There were no aerial bombing or
carnations in the allied flying corps
during the first year of the wal. Prac-
tically all the work in the air was in
the nature of observation. No pilots
could be spared for anything else. To-
day probably Is per cent of the aerial
arms are bombing ~squadrons Of IL ms.
chimes per squadron.
The first bombing was done by vol
unteer pilots who flew over the Ger
man lines and dropped three or four
bombs, made Of artillery shells, on
concentration camps, and cantonments.
Showers of small steel arrows were
spilled sometimes on conveys, troop
trains, and bodies Of massed men. The
Germans began day bombing of cities
in 1915, and the Allies bombarded
Karlsruhe in the latter part of the
same year. Since then evolution in
organized bombing developed rapidly
and the French began night bombing
but this was not undertaken by the
Germans until August, 1916.
At the present time large groups,
including several squadrons of bomb
ing machines go over the lines from
time to time and completely destroy
their objective, be it a city or a camp,
a column of troops or trench system
Unfortunately the allies air forces

have to. travel for many miles over
hostile territory defended by anti
aircraft guns to attack German cit
les, while the enemy can attack the
French cities by flying only a. short
distance beyond the allied line.
The allies are developing large
bombing planes which carry sufR-
cient fuel for long excursions and
armament to protect them when they
are attacked by fighting airplanes.
Bombing squadrons are usually es-
corted over the lines by fast fight
ing squadron Of 10 planes to a squad.
ron, and then left to their own de-
vices as the fighters seldom carry e
nough fuel to permit them to accom-
pany the bombers on the trip.
The dropping of the bomb is SIM.
lar to shooting a rifle. First, you SET
your sights and wind gague, vol
hold the rifle properly, and finally
you pull the trigger at the prope,
moment. If your ammunition is good
and your sights correct you hit the
target. So with bombing. IF you
set your sights correctly, fly you,
plane correctly over the objective and
drop the bomb at the proper time "
will hit the target. If the ammunition
manufacturer gave you good bombs
the objective will be destroyed.

ever any one desires to hurl a broad

It would seem therefore that the
wise and sensible thing for the organ

leaders who are strong, and thus take
from their enemies the club which is
being used to wreck this new political

Girl, 16, Held With Two Bags
 of Dynamite
Defies Police and Refuses to Name Others
 Involved.

Chicago, Jan. 18.-Carrying enough dynamite in two small handbags to wreck the union passenger station, slim, darkhaired girl was arrested today as she stepped from Pennsyl- vania train from Youngstown, Ohio. When taken before the federal au- thorities, the girl gave her name as Linda Jose, 16 years old. She told of being given the 36 sticks of explosive at Steubensville. Ohio, and of carrying it across the state in passenger trains to deliver it to an uncle in Chicago.
 Defying the secret service officers, the girl refused to give them the name of either the sender or her uncle. She was held on charge of transporting the dynamite in violation of the inter- state commerce law, officials declar- inc they believe the explosive belong ed to dangerous band of anarchists.
 Federal officials said that when the girl was arrested she attempted to swallow a piece of paper. When this was forced from her mouth it was found to contain the name of mem Der of the l. w. w.
 She was familiar with the works of Alexander Berkman and Emma Goldman and asked regarding their presence in Chicago. She said that she was born in Italy and came to this country 4 years ago, entering at New Orleans and later living at Mound, Louisiana, near Vicksburg. She was held under $20,000 bond.

Local Hotel and Restaurant Men Adopt Request Made
 by the Government.
SAT TURDAXS TO
 BE PORKLESS
Chairman Tru'ock States That Plan Is Meant |" Be Observed b, Boarding Houses and Private Homes as
 Well as Public Eating Places.

After some day next week, the ex- act date to pc designated by F. R. Wiles, state chairman O. cne l.otel and restaurant committee of the food ad- ministration, buckwheat cakes, coun- try ham juicy steaks and every article of food which contains meat or wheat will be "taboo' at tha breakfast tables in this city and from that date on peo- pie in Arkansas must make their morning meal from fruits, eggs etc.
 At the request Of MT. Wiles, w. N. Trulock, chairman for the local hotel and restaurant men, called a meeting of his organization yesterday after noon, at which time it was decided that one meal each day shall be both meatless and wheatless, and that no pork shall be served on Saturdays. The meatless and wheatIess meal adopted is the breakfast of each day, and strict observance of this request from the government will be made by the local hotel and restaurant non.
 It is not known just when the plan will be put in force but MT. Wiles has been notified that local men have act ed favorably upon his request and will in. all probability designate some day in next week as to the date for the initiation of the plan.
 MT. Trulock stated last night that the governments request does not on- ly apply to hotels and restaurants but affects boarding houses and private homes as we'll "In order to accom- plish any good at alp, Mir. Trulock said, i've must have the undivided support of not only the hotel and res taurant men, but also the boarding house proprietors and the people who live in private homes. We are willing to do our bit and are anxious to do anything in our power to helD the gov ernment in any way possible, but the people of this city must be made to realize the seriousness of the food situation. The request for meatless and wheatless meal each day not only applies to the hotel and restaurant men but must be observed by every one in Pine Bluff. To accomplish any thing we must have cooperation and the uniform observance of this plan. Breakfast has been designated by the hotel and restaurant men of this city as the meatleSs and WheatleSs meal each day and l hope that every one in this city will adopt the same plan as it's successful operation means the saving of an enormous amount ot food that can be diverted for the use of the soldiers and the allies. On Sat- urday no pork will be served at the To- cal hotels and restaurants and l hope the people of this city will also ob- serve this plan to the fullest extent as it means much to the country at large"
 As soon as MT. Trulock receives mo- tice from MT. Wiles as to the date for the enforcement of the plans adopted yesterday announcement will be made to the public with request that this idea be strictly observed turnout the city. It is very probable that this time will be designated as one day
 next week.

South Feels Order.

Atlanta, Jan. 1S.-Hundreds of in dustrial plants in the South were closed today for five days under the fuel restriction order, and thousands of operatives were idle. Only few re- ports of violations of the order had been received tonight, and surface i'm dications were that both manufac- turers and workers viewed the situ- ation philOsOphically. The South Carolina house of representatives, in session at Columbia, voted down, by an overwhelming majority. resolu- ton asking Fuel Administrator Gar field to rescind the order.
 Cotton Mills Close.
 Scores of cotton mills. using other than water power, will be closed for the five-day period. The tobacco in dustry probably is the largest outside of cotton to be affected by the order. Cigar factories in Florida, Virginia and other states were closed, as were tobacco and cigarette plants in Vir- ginia, North Carolina and other geo. tions. The great industrial center at Birmingham, Ala, was only slightly affected, as most of the steel plants there are engaged on government work, and at the coal mines extra ef- forts were made to get out coal. Ship yards including the navy yards at Norfolk, Charleston and New Orleans, and the Newport News plant, were in full operation.

LAST CHANCE 10
 OfL|NQUfNYS IS
 GIVEN BY BOARD
Over 500 Names Published Before Turning Over
 to Sheriff.

This morning the Graphic begins the publication of list of some $50 or 600 names of men whose question naires have not been received by local board No. 2. Some time next week this list will be turned over to Sheriff R. H. Williams and he will begin ser vice upon those who have not reported by that time. The men whom the sher- if finds it necessary to bring in will probably have to face heavy penalties.
 It was stated at the office of the board yesterday evening that all who bring in their questionnaires before the list is given to the county officers will "have their sins forgiven" and will have their questionnaires hand led as tho they had been returned within the time limit. This action is being taken by the board because it realizes that many of the registrants have failed to return their blanks on account of unavoidable circumstances, or because of ignorance of the meth ods of handling them. Ben Harvey, chief clerk of the board, states that in one or two cases colored registrants who were late in bringing in their pap CTS had hesitated in returning them after the time-limit expired because of fear of the consequences. He re- quested that all registrants be assured that if they bring in their papers at once, without having to be located by the officers, their delinquency will be overlooked by the board.
 Ask Aid of Employers.
 In the list published this morning l., oc cf y,lo as given on his registration card, is piven in each case, and these employ CTS are urged to endeavor to see that the registrants return their question naires at once and avoid the penalties thev may incur by further delay. Any one at all who knows the present To- cation of any of the men whose names are published or will be published in this city list. are urged by the board to endeavor to inform them of the ln1- portance of reporting to the board at once, whether they have received their questionnaires or not. Failure to do so may mean being reported as de- serters, and necessitate their being To- catad by officers of the law.
 Both boards are still busy with their work of classifying the names of their registrants. Board No. 2 has already classified 1.216 names, 468 of which have been placed in class one. Of this number about 65 have appealed their cases to the district board. The time allowed for appeal on all of these clas- sifications has now. expired.

N "The people must either go on or bo undar' was the stirring climax of kn address delivered to the trades bnion of Great Britain by David Lloyd Eeorge, the British prime minister, Friday in London. The premier's ad- ress followed closely upon the pas yage by the house of commons of ma r. lower bill, which has as it's object the Iaising of more men to strengthen tE!a British fighting forces. The premier, Ss of old, evinccd strong distrust O. 6ermany's honesty, reverting several Times to the unt1'ustwolthiness of her {romises, declaring that no peace erms would be recognized by Emper- {r William Field, Marshal von Hinden- {urg. General von Ludendorff, and the ther militaristic elements, unless the British had the power to enforce them.
 "Never" Right Belgian Wrongs. | Germany has sent the answer of }never'' to the demands for the right Ing of the wrongs of Belgium, the Sremier declared and also announced hat the struggle would continue until Eesopotamia and Palestine were re- |tored to the tyranny of the Turks. Involving his opinion on the situation, he premier told his hearers that they night as we'll stop fighting unless hey were going to do it with all their night. Unless we are going to do do
 well, let us stop it," he exclaimed. There is no alternative. If there are hen here who say they will not go 'nto the trenches, then the men in he trenches have the right to say neither will me remain there.'
 In conclusion the premier said if any han could find an honorable and 'cuitable way out of the conflict with ut fighting it thru. "For heavens ake let him tell me-"
 Continue Peace Parely.
 Notwithstanding the apparently al host insuperable barrier that was re- orted to exist between the Auhtro- Germans and the Bolsheviki represen- atives at the Brast-Litovsk confer

GREEN OFFERS TO PAY COSTS TO GET
 AN EARLY TRIAL
Constable and His Attor- neys Declare Desire to
 Face Jury Soon.

Clint C. Green, suspended from the office of constable pending the out come of trial on charges of access sory to bribery, conspiracy and non- feasance, is so anxious for an early trial that he offers to pay all the ex- penses and to insure payment offers to deposit with the sheriff sufficient cash to cover the costs of the pro- ceedings. This is the proposal made in an advertisement appearing in this issue of The Graphic over the sigma lures of MT. Greens attorneys, T.. Havis Nixon, H. Kemp Toney and Alex H. Powell. Whether such a proposal can be accepted by the state is the question. Probably this is the first time that such action was proposed, and it is hardly possible that any law makers of the past could foresee the time when an accused would be will ing to pay the costs, irrespective of the outcome of his trial.
 Mr. Green contends that he is en- titled to trial as soon as possible. as serting that he is a candidate for re- election as constable, and that delay in hearing the charges against him works to his detriment "I'm not only losing the salary of $150 a month as constable but I'm prevented for doing anything in my campaign for re-elec- tion as constable" he said.
 Attorneys Nixon and Toney said that repeated efforts had been made to obtain an early trial of the cnarges against Mir. Green, but without suc- cess. They contend that there has been ample time since the indictments were returned to hear the charges Court will be opened at Arkansas City Monday" said MT. Toney. but there will be no court anywhere the week beginning February 4, and we now ask that the charges against MT Green be tried that week We arc willing to bear all the expenses; il will cost the county nothing. And this, irrespective of the outcome ol the trial"
 Mir Nixon said it "looks as though efforts are being made to avoid try ing the case before the date of the election. III which Clint will be can. didate for reelection, in the attempt to keep him out of office"
 Prosecuting Attorney T. G. Parham told of the charges of the attorneys for MT. Green. said he didn't care te "sav anything::" that he knew "wha
 they are trying to do," intimating th' conviction that counsel for MT. Greer are endeavoring to create sympath! for their client.
