London, May 20.-Fair weather dur.
ing the last few days and great In
crease in aerial activity have not yet
resulted in renewal of heavy infant
~ fighting. The artillery duels go on
most violently on important sectors
but neither the German infantry or
artillery displays the activity which
usually marks the coming of a blow
against the Allied lines.
Enemy Preparing.
The enemy, it is believed here is
preparing for a mighty attack, greater
in force, if possible, than the smash
on March 81 along the SO mile front
southwark from Arras. The Germans,
however. are having difficulty in fill
ing up their greatly depleted ranks.

SO per cent-one 70 per cent-of their
electives in the recent fighting. In
addition the Allied artillery is causing
havoc with German preparations near
the front lines while their railway
stations and billets behind the lines
are under an almost continuous rain
Of bombs dropped by Allied airmen.
Waiting for Manpower.
Enemy artillery and manpower con.
centrations probably will become

burg delays new advance. but the
Allied defenses gain strength in the
same ratio and new source of fight
ing power, General Pershing's new
men are now on both the important
Observation-Disclosures and Picardy,
but in what numbers is not disclosed.
Their coming, however, is having q
great moral effect ON the British and
French and the longer the Germans
delay the greater will the American
aid become.
Aerial activity is the most import
ant feature OF the news from the fight
ing zone. French and British airmen
have dropped many more tons Of ex-
plosives on enemy military targets
while the Germans are becoming more
active in attempts to get behind the
Allied lines.
IS Hun Machines Fall.
On the American sectors west Of
Montdidier, northwest of Toul and in
Lorraine the aerial fighting also has
increased. The American positions in
Picardy and Lorraine are being bonn
barded heavily by the Germans. The
artillery fire has fallen OF in the Toul
sector but American patrols are active
there.

ONE OF GREATEST WRITERS
Ben Jonson Ranks in English History
Second Only to the immortal
Shakespeare.

Ben Jonson occupied a promi-
nent position on the British parnas-
sus. Herrick said of his wit that we
should husband it, for, should ii
come 10 an end, the world would
have no more. Yet his words are
little read, because there is some
thing Of roughness or boldness in his
style for readers who read poetry for
recreation, rather than critically.
His was a prolific muse; his pen was
seldom still. Much Of his writing Is
lost, and yet his surviving works are
voluminous. Dramatic composition,
some plays and most Of his prose
have passed into oblivion, yet there
still remains some twenty plays,
about forty masques, a book Of cpl
grams, epistles, translations and an
unfinished English grammar, writ
ten in English and Latin.
In his early youth he followed the
trade of a bricklayer, which he tells
us he could not endure, so he joined
the army in Flanders. He sickened
of the sword and returned home,
bringing with him the reputation Of
brave man, a smattering Of Dutch,
and an empty purse. II was then
that his early education, he being a
Westminster and a Cambridge man,
stood him in good stead. He began
to write for the stage After the
death Of Shakespeare, he retained
undisputed possession of the high
est poetic eminence and was made
poet-laureate by King James.

A LETTER FROM war
BUILDING COMMITTEE
Necessity of Delaying Building Activ.
ity Emphasized.

Mr. w. Y. Foster of Hope.
County chairman of the Non.
War Construction Committee.
sends the Telegraph letter
from the state committee which
he requests that we publish in
full. The letter follows:
Little Rock, Oct. %, 1918.
Dear Sir:-The comment and
criticism by the War Industries
Board on applications for
building permits forwarded
through this office, and their
action thereon, indicates with
clearness their policy to permit
no new construction of any
kind not already permitted by
them in sections l, 2, 3, 4, s of
circular 21, with amendment
thereto covering farm build
ings..
The Board desires that Com
mittees on Non-War Construc-
ton be impressed with the con-
viction that this is a necessary
war measure, adopted by the
War Industries Board after
careful consideration. and that
the success of the plan will
largely depend upon the patri-
otto and earnest cooperation
of the local committees. The
next few months are the most
ipm6rtant in the life Of this Ma
ton and it behooves US to take
nothing of the war program,
which is paramount to all other
needs, and, while it may cause
inconvenience and some fnan-
cial loss, it must if We are to
give in one hundred per cent
support be DONE Chairman
Baruch, OF the War Industries
Board, says:
"fhere is a direct and init
mate relationship between the
brick that is set in the walls
of a building and shot that
is fred at the crumbling struc-
ture Of German world domina-
tion. Every unnecessary un-
dertaking ties up labor, capital,
faeilities, -rasterials, transporta.
ton and fuel-the sin great Ell
| ements that form the base of
our economic structure. There
is, at any given time, only a
limited amount of each of these
available and to divert them to
other than war ends is worse
than a crime-it is a blunder
that may cost us dearly"
1t is absolutely necessary
that all labor and material a.
vailable be given, at this time,
to the war program, if we are
to finish the war, as we hope to
do, in 1919. No work which
does not contribute directly to
that end should be allowed. If
we do not complete this job in
1919, it will probably mean the
loss of another million lives.
VIII you earnestly present
these weighty considerations to
all applicants, urging that the
building be postponed for a
short time until this program
can be realized? Surely no pa
triotic citizen will thoughtless-
ly weigh any temporary incon-
venience, or small financial loss
to himself against the pressing
and vital necessities of his coun-
try at this time.
If in your judgment, after
due consideration of the above,
you deem it advisable to for
ward the application for permit
to this office, before it can re-
ceive favorable consideration,
it will be necessary for all the
facts to be clearly and emphat-
ically set up and substantiated,
and it is your duty to inform
| yourself of the correctness of
the facts presented and as to
the necessity of the improve
ment being done at this time.
Jours very truly,
