WILL OPPOSE PLACING AUTOS
 ON NON-ESSENTIAL LIST

Little Rock, June 6.-Receiving in formation from Washington that an effort is again being made to have automobiles placed on the non-essen- tial list, and to materially increase the rate of taxation, E. M. Rowe, presi- dent of the Little Rock Automobile Dealers Association has sent to every dealer in Arkansas request to at tend a meeting to be held in Little Rock Monday morning.
 At this meeting the question will be considered at length, and delegates will be chosen to attend a national meeting in Chicago on Friday follow ing. If necessary, the Arkansas deal CTS are expected to send representa- tives to Washington.
 "The automobile industry will not oppose any just taxation" states President Rowe, but we will oppose being placed in the non-essential class Automobiles today are a necessity. They are playing an important part in the war, and are not to be consid- cred as pleasure cars. We are doing everything the government has asked of us, and are discouraging the use of the automobile for pleasure in every way, even to the withdrawal of road service at night and on Sunday, but we do not want to be put out of busi- ness entirely, and I expect every au- tomobile dealer in the state to either be present Monday or have repre- sentative at the meeting"
 The convention is called for Mon- day morning at 10 o'clock at the Hotel Marion As the news came un- expectedly, Pres. Rowe was forced to call an early meeting.

100000 ADDITIONAL
 REC|sTRANTS CALLED
Mobilization Order Issued Eff fective June 24-2S-Will Bring Total of Men Called to 1,- 596, 704.

Washington, June 5.-While mil lion young Americans just turned 21 were registering today for service in the war for world freedom, orders went out from the office of Provost Marshal General Crowder to the gov ernors of all states except Arizona for the mobilization between June "A and 2S of 100000 more registrants This brings the total number of selec- tive service men called to the colors to 1,596,704 and when they are in camp the nations army will number we'll over 2,000,000 men.
 The registration today apparently was attended by the perfect order that marked the enrolling a year ago of 10.000,000 men who form the great reservoir upon which the nation is drawing to furnish the balance of power to crush the German war ma chine.
 The men who appeared today before the 4,5O0 local boards over the coun- try have become of age since the first registration day, June 5, 1917. Mill tary authorities estimate that from their number there will be had 50,00O men fit for active duty.
 While an act of Congress requires that the new registrants be placed at the bottom of the class to which they are assigned, many of them may soon be called to the colors, as today's re- quisition upon governors probably will exhaust the first class in some states. While no formal explanation was made, this was believed to have been the reason why Arizona was not included in todays call.

MORE DRY LEGISLATION
 NOW SEEMS UNLIKELY
President Wilson Opposes Such Action Unless it is RecOm- mended By Food Administra- tor Hoover.

Washington, June 5.-Further pro- hibition legislation by Congress at this time appears unlikely. After an announcement by Senator Sheppard of Texas that President Wilson op- poses action unless it should be re- commended by Food Administrator Hoover, MT. Sheppard said today he had learned Mr. Hoover also opposes extension of prohibition.
 Both President Wilson and Mir Hoover, according to Senator Shep- pard, believe little foodstuffs would be saved by extending prohibition to manufacture of beer and wines. With about 100,000,000 gallons of whiskey in the warehouses, he said, both the executive and food administrator take the position that to abolish manufac- ture of beer and wines virtually would put the consumers of alcoholic beverages on a whiskey basis. This they regard as highly undesirable.
 Senator Sheppard said the amend ment to the $11 100000 emergency agricultural appropriation bill which would prevent the use of about S6,- 000,000 unless the President exercises his authority to stop manufacture of beer and wine, would be stricken out by the Senate. Other prohibition ad- vocates in the Senate expect to press an amendment for complete prohibi- tion during the war, but because of the position of the President and Mir. Hoover it is not expected to get sup port sufficient for it's adoption.
 Senator Sheppard and other prohi- bition leaders are considering a plan for disposition by the government of whiskey held in storage, to eliminate it as a source of supply for beverage purposes.

With the American Army in France June The American troops thrown into the present great battle on the front northwest of Chateau Thierry in brilliant bayonet attack drove the Germans from Neuilly wood in which the enemy was attempting to estab- fish himself after occupying the vil- lage of Veuilly- Poterie in severe fighting
 The Germans poured heavy ma chine gun fire into the American ranks, but the Americans rushed for ward and destroyed the hastily erect ed machine gun positions on the edge of the woods. Continuing their ad- vance, they engaged the Germans at close quarters and cleared them en- tirely from their positions, driving them back upon the ruined village. In sharp combat, marked by the fierceness of the allied machine gun fire, French and American troops, fighting side by side, almost wiped out small German forces which had reached the left bank of the Marne near Jaulgonne, east of Chateau Thierry. Most of the enemy survivors were rounded up in small groups and made prisoners.
 On Monday in the attack against the Germans at Veuilly the Americans drove them back one and a half kilo- meters on the front of narrow sal tent. The ground was cleared of the enemy and the Americans are now holding their position there. The Americanlosses, according to the lat est reports available, were exceeding ly slight, most of them resulting from shell fire.

EvERYBODYS THEATRE
MANS MAN" A
THRILLER OF REAL
DRAMATIC INTEREST.


"A Mans Man" the big photo
drama in which j. Warren Ker-
rigan will make his first appearance
as Paralta star in this city is con-
sidered by screen experts one of the
best stories Tor photo dramatic por-
trayal published in the last five
years.
The character of John Stuart Web
ster, the mining engineer, who loves
peace but makes fighting a business
when he Is forced into it, is a typical
Kerrigan role. The scenes are laid
in an Arizona desert, in Denver and
New Orleans and in a Central Ameri-
can republic which is on the verge of
revolution.
The action of this photo-melo-
drama is wonderfully fast and gives
Mr.. Kerrigan remarkably strong dra-
matte situations in the part of the
stalwart Webster, whose projection
by circumstances into the final bat
tie between the rebel and govern
ment troops, leads to the downfall
and death of the presidential dicta-
tor.

tude Of scoffer Is no criterion Of the
value of the scoffee. It Is no longer
fashionable to despise the day Of small
things. The United States govern

glad to get 25-cent subscription to
the Thrift stamps. The useful cult
walton OF back lots and gardens in the
city is quite as small In proportion to
our agricultural crop as the newsboy's

And when q man, called to meet

could maintain his unrunled liont
through hours running out Of days into
nights and the next day. there is
bubbling fount of vitality in him winch
almost explains itself and tells the
secret of his longevity.
In addition to his physical qualinca-
lions, Mr.. Depew has had. always. the
intellectual gift Of sense OF humor.
But he thinks he has found other rea-
sons for his long life, one OF which Ii
that, finding the smoking OF cigars to
be weakening his fiber he, at "a years
OF age, stopped the habit absolutely
We must, perforce, take on the nat

engines in a ship which had floated
for more than half century not only
under full sail, but under constant
cloud from its own smokestack. That
was thirty years ago. And because
we suspect that Mr.. Depew wants to
smoke today as badly as on the day
following his change Of life, we are
privileged to wonder II he does not
sometimes doubt the wisdom OF end

The former New York senator, bon

of don't worry" We doubt whether
his advice on this line Is as good as
that touching the positive evil Of ex-
cessive tobacco smoking. He has jilt-
ed Lady Nicotine, but perhaps he has
had small chance to coquette with
Madame Worry. His career shows
much Of life on Easy street, and such
worries as have been his may have
been easily disposed of. But his gen.

hurt, and then cut 1t out" is good
and wholesome. Better cut it out your
self in good time than wait for the
surgeons to cut out something else
when too late. This would be excel.

From one OF "a. still in good health
and spirits after very active career,
