Army General Staff to An nounce Plans by
 Wednesday.

Washington, Aug. 5.-Plans for the organization and despatch of the Am erican military contingent to Russia to cooperate with the forces of the allied nations in support of the Czecho-Slovaks at Vladivastock are being worked out by the army gen. eral staff.
 Beyond the statement issued Satur- day by acting secretary of state Polk, that the American forces would be "a few thousands" in number no intimation as to the size of the con- tingent has been given.
 At the war department today it was stated by next Wednesday General March chief of staff, would be able to give out a statement of as much of the plan as safely may be disclosed at that stage.
 Meanwhile the rules of censorship regarding the actual movement of troops do not hermit of any specific statements at this time of what is beinng accomplished. but there is a good reason to believe that when Gen. March makes his statement it will disclosed the fact that it follows rath1 (Continued on page five, 1st column.)

''H0ld Fast" is Message Issued
 BritOnS by Premier Lloyd George
Prospects Never Brighter Than Today Says English Leader in Statement Read Simultaneously
 Throughout the Nation.

London, Aug. 5.-"Hold fast" was the keynote of message to the Brit ish empire issued by Premier Lloyd George and promulgated in a drastic way through the kingdom at the hour of 9'o'clock tonight. The message was read to the audiences in all theatres, concert halls and other places where people were assembled, including moving picture houses.
 Sealed copies of the message had been distributed to the managers of all these places, with the request that they open it at 9 o'clock. The mes sage follows:
 "The message which I send to the people of the British empire on the fourth anniversary of the entry of the war is: Hold fast
 Seek No Selfish End.
 "We are in this war for no selfish ends. We are in it to recover free dom for the nations which have been brutally attacked and despoiled, and to prove that no people, however pow erful, can surrender itself to the law less ambitions of militarism without meeting retribution, swift, certain and disastrous, at the hands of the free nations of the world. To stop short of victory for this cause would be to compromise the future of mankind.
 "I say, hold fast because our pros

poets of victory have never been so bright as they are today. Six months ago the rulers of Germany deliberate ly rejected the just and reasonable isettlement proposed by the allies. Throwing aside the last mask of mod eration, they partitioned Russia, en- slaved Rumania, and attempted to seize supreme power by overthrowing the allies in final and desperate at tack. Thanks to the invincible brav- cry of all the allied armies,s it is now evident to all that this dream of uni versal conquest, for the sake of which they wantonly prolonged the war can never be fulfilled.
 To See It Through.
 "But the battle is not yet won. The great autocracy of Prussia will still endeavor by violence, or guile, to avoid defeat and so give militarism a new lease of life. We cannot seek to escape the horrors of war for our selves by laying them up for our chil- dren. Having set cur hands tc the task we must see it through till a just and lasting settlement is accom- plished.

 The ship was returning from France and nearing a home port when the torpedo struck her, penetrating the ward room where patients are accom- modated. About 100 wounded have been landed at a British port, coming ashore in what clothing they could reach when rudely awakened.
 About 400 patients were on board the vessel. It is net known definitely what the loss of life was. One hun dred patients however, are accounted for as having landed at one port where they were cared for by the British organizations of the American Red Cross.

 NOW COM NJ IN Names of Dead Heroes Who Smashed Grown Prince
 Are Published.
NO ESTIMATE ON
 TOTAL LOSSES
Two Casualty Lists on Monday Are the First of d Series Which Will Follow Big
 Offensive.

Washington, Aug. 5.-~Names of American soldiers who have fallen in the great Franco American drive which turned the German offensive on the Marne into an utter defeat, have begun to come in from overseas.
 They swelled to roc the total cas- ualties made public today by the war department in two separate lists.
 Although nearly three times as great as the largest number hereto fore announced in single day, the total today reports only part of the lists which have been accommodating since the great battle began July IS. And it is not to be assumed that it reports the losses for any one day.
 No Estimate Yet.
 No estimate of the American cas- ualties in this continuous fighting has been received from General Pershing and it was said authoritively today taht none is expected
 In that connection Acting Secretary of War Crowell today deprecated any seas forces, saying that publications which would exagerate or minimize the total would create unnecessary an- xiety among the relatives and friends of American soldiers.
 Of the names made public today, 459 were of those who were killed in action and 80 who died from wounds
 Second List 256 Killed.
 The second list contained only names of the dead-256 killed in act ion and A who died of wounds-but the first list showed 48 wounded sev- erely, 100 wounded, degree undeter- mined and three missing in action
 In the first list there also were nine who died of disease, one of an aero plane accident and six from accidents and other causes. Acting Secretary CroWell told newspaper correspond ents today that General Pershing would supply complete and verified casualty lists as rapidly as they can be transmitted and that they would be given to the press and speak for themselves as to numbers.
 While casualties in offensive opera ticns necessarily are heavy officers here do not believe there has been un- usual number among the American forces.
 German Reports False.
 Proof of the falsity of the German reports of great American losses which have been circulated to impress the German people at home, is given by the fact that the American divis- ions which began the fighting still were taking part in it last Saturday, official reports show.
 It was pointed out today that had the casualties among the American forces been unusually large, some of the divisions necessarily would have had to be withdrawn.
 The fact that none of them have been and that they have been fight ing virtually continuously for twen- ty one days is taken by officers here to show that there losses have been much smaller than those they inflict- ed on the enemy, who has been forced to withdraw many of his divisions.

Measure for Conscripting Men Is to 45 Introduced
 in Congress.
SENATE WILLING
 TO RUSH TT THRU
House Committee May Delay Legisla- tiOn-WOuld Get 2.00O,O0O Men for Military
 Service.

Washington, Aug. 5.---With an urg- ent recommendation from Provost Marshal General Crowder, that it be enacted without delay and suggest ion that September 5, next be fixed as registration day for approximately 13,O00,000 men throughout the coun- try, the administrations man power bill requiring the registration fer military service of all men between the ages of IS and 45 years was in- troduced today in the senate and house.
 Unless immediate steps are taken Crowder said the weekly registration of men as they attain Fl years of age, will be necessary to fill the draft quotas, after September 1, when only 100000 of the 1918 registrants will be available.
 To Be Reported This Week
 Upon the introduction of the bill, Chairman Chamberlain announced that the senate military committee would meet tomorrow to consider the bill. He said he did not think hearing would be necessary and only three or four days should be required to re- port the bill.
 Chairman Dent of the House com mittee said since only three members of his committee are in Washington it was doubtful whether the bill could be acted upon before the house recon venes on August 19.
 Suggestions made on the senate floor by Senator Curtis of Kansas that the senate abandon it's program , of recess and perfunctory sessions until August 24, if the bill can be fa- vorably reported by the committed within a few days were endorsed by Senator Chamberlain.
 However, senate leaders now in the city said any plans to this effect would be held in abeyance until the committee could determine just hom much time would be necessary fol thorough discussion of the bill. { Would Add 100000 To Army. 1 The bill would amend the present selective act so as to require the registration of all men between 1S and 20 years and 32 and 45 years in- elusive.
 While the total number of men in the latter classes would total 10,018, 973, General Crowder estimates the total number who would be eligible fol class one would be only 601 ,236, ow. ing to exemptions for dependents ol industrial and physical reasons.

 StOckman.

Contrary to expectations no def mite action was taken by the City Council last night relative to the or dinance granting an increase in sery- ice rates to the Southwestern Tele- phone Company. The ordinance came up for second reading, and after some discussion, in which representa- tives of the telephone company pre- sented their side. was given it's second reading and referred to the Finance Committee. There is some difference of opinion as to what will be the fate of the bill when this committee re- ports at the second monthly meeting of the council.
 Bar Sunday Sale of Gasoline.
 That the council is strictly in favor of all war economies is shown by the fact that the council voted unanimous ly to have Mayor Bloom instruct Chief of Police Frank Stewart to see that all garages are kept closed on Sun day, and that no gasoline is sold on that day.
 Louis Lock of Monroe, who has re- quested a franchise from the city for nataural gas service. was advised by vote of the council that Pine Bluff would welcome such service, and that a fair franchise would be granted to him.
 All the monthly bills were allowed and the monthly reports of the vari- ous departments were read and filed. Other business before the council last night was as follows:
 Employ Another StOckman.
 The city was authorized to employ another stockman.
 A resolution authorizing a street light at the corner of Fourth and Walnut streets was passed.
 A communication addressed to the council by Mrs. Lee Fox, chairman of the Woman's Division of the local Council for National Defense, relative to the achievements of certain health laws, was referred to the Police Com- mittee for appropriate attention.
 A resolution was passed directing the city treasurer to turn over to the Cotton Belt bank. as custodian, $2.- 900 of school bonds of Columbia coun- ty. These bonds are at present held by the city. and suit to recover them has been brought by a Columbia coun- ty school district.
