Washington June 22-Definite
word from Eome of the repulse Of the
Austrian drive in Italy coupled with
announcement by General March,
American chief of staff. the Ameri-
can troop movements 10 France had
now exceeded 100000 added today to
the growing cheerfulness apparent at
the war department recently.
General March told the new paper
men in his weekly conference that
tie United States is five months in
advance of lis schedule for troop
movements He outlined the battle
positions i'm France and Italy and
drew the conclusion that the enemy
was being held firmly on all fronts
though expecting four great blows.
The chief of staffs statements fur
nished the first authoritative infor-
nation as 10 the proaress made By
the soyerument in meeting the chal-
lense OF the latest German drive.

General March made it clear that
time gained in setting abroad enough
troops to give General Foch. supreme
commander a mastering superiority
ever the enemy. is the vital factor.
"The general situation looks Well"
was General March's comment as he
looked al the great war map where
all the operations are marked off.
Tho lack of fighting along the
French front is Of primary import
ance to the allies by giving us
chance to get more man power
THE present lull on the western
front simply means Germany is re-
fitting her combat divisions and pre-
lparine for another drive It does not
mean the great battle is over.

ticn Of what we have been passing
through these past few months. as far
as German activity is concerned.

Persistent reports reached Little
Rock yesterday from Washington that
the contracts had been let to the Nc
Ghee Construction Company for Il
three million dollar army and navy
hospital in this city.
The report, which 1t seems came
from Washington, indicated that the
contract for the hospital had been let,
and that the contractors had notified
construction men connected with them
to be prepared to proceed to Hot
Springs at once and be ready to take
up the actual construction of this
hospital within very short time.
The location of the proposed hospi-
tai was not stated in the reports, but
it was indicated that the property Sc
lected would be the governments own
reservation on Reserve avenue, where
the hot water facilities would be con-
venient.
Several months ago it became known
that the war department had APPROX
ed a plan for a 5000 bed hospital in
Hot Springs for the soldiers and sail
oTs who might return from France In
need OF such treatment. 1t was also
made known that the hospital was to
be located in Hot Springs-that is the
main one, and that other hospitals
would perhaps be built over the coun-
try in various sections that the climate
might make proper for such institu-
tions.
For a long time there was a persist
ent report that because of the immedi-
ate necessity of the situation, the gov
ernment would take over the large
Eastman hotel, the Monarch of the
Glen" and because of its close prox-
unity to the Army and Navy hospital,
connect these two into a large and
magnificent hospital and sanitarium,
That report had been repeated often,
but 1t never was authorized, though
the government agents did come here
and look the situation over, and some
approved taking over this property.
At the time Mr.. Albert Gaines, pres
ident Of the New York Hotel Company,
WAS last in the city, he said that he
had been interviewed by agents OF the
government on the proposition, that It
was possible the government would
want that property. and that naturally
If such developed, he would not have
any objections, but that the company
would make every effort to help the
government. Also he stated that IL
the hotel was taken over. Hot
Springs would not be permitted TO
suffer the loss Of a large hotel for a
long time, for the company already
had the site. and would build a new
hotel in the event the Eastman were
taken over. Mr.. Gaines always has
had in view the upbuilding of the re-
sort, and may be depended on under
any conditions to keep the CITY sup
piled with plenty OF hotel facilities

VIENNA LABOR LEADERS

Amsterdam, June 2a-The Arbeiter
Zeitung of Vienna says that the labor
council which submitted detailed de-
mands to the government and ex-
pressed the hope rhat the partial
strike in the industrial world would
be sufficient to show the government
that wages and food conditions ur-
gently need reform has decided that
an extension of the strike is mad
visable pending negotiations.
A London dispatch of June 90 quot

Search OF the wreck for bodies con-
tinued tonight.
The troop train of 21 empty cars
travelling a straight track, totally de-
molished three of the flimsy circus
coaches and badly damaged a fourth.
According to reports TO local author
tiles, the circus train pulled part way
into a switch and stalled there on ac-
count Of hot box. The flagman went
back on the main track and set fuses
as a warning of danger. The circus
train was in this position when the
equipment train ploughed into its four
sleepers reducing them into a pile Of
tangled steel and timbers.
Fire, engendered by the gas light
ing system OF the circus train, broke
out almost Immediately and when res
cuers reached the scene the entire
wreckage was in flames.
Clowns, bareback riders, trapeze
performers and acrobats, many of
them veterans in the circus world,

charred black, were still being reeov-
cred as the derricks of wrecking
trains thinned out the pile of debris.

he lay on a stretcher and told how his

only recently after months of absence
and how all three had been crushed

Wild rumors spread that several
lions had escaped from the train to
the woods south OF the wreck. Circus
authorities said no wild animals were
on the train. They also discredited
reports that one circus woman, de-
mented, had eyaded the doctors and
raced off into the woods, clad only in
night clothing.
