Chamber of Commerce Is Taking Steps to Have Field Established
 In Vicinity of Newport.

c. l.. Mariner, manager of the Chamber of Commerce, is in cores pondence with proper authorities con corning the location and establish ment of landing field for airplanes in the vicinity of Newport. Cores pondence thus far has been favorable to the project, and Newport can be assured that planes will land here frequently if a landing, place and gas filling station can be made available. It is probable that East Newport af- lords the most advantageous location for this.
 As soon as it is learned what re- quirements would be made of New port to secure landing field, the h. dependent will make them public.
 At Wynne, Forrest City and other towns of the state landing fields for planes from Memphis and Lonoke have been established, together with gas stations, and at these places the canteen workers have rendered valu- able service for aviators.

First and Second Issue of Liberty Bonds Are Not Convertible Into
 Subsequent Issues.

The following letter has been mailed to all banks and trust com- panies in the Eighth District from the federal reserve bank at St. Louis:
 The opinion is current that First Liberty Loan Converted 4 per cent Bonds, and Second Liberty Loan per cent Bonds are convertible into any subsequent issue of Liberty Bonds bearing higher rate of interest than 4h per cent.

 You are requested to give this iI1-R formation as much publicity as poG- sible, and forward bonds for c0nver sion at your earliest convenience in order that conversion operations will not be congested at the closing period of conversion, which is No- vember 9th.
 Proper forms must be attached to bonds offered for conversion as out- lined in our circular of June 27ths The following forms are to be used for the particular conversion describ ed on the respective forms:

Associated Press Summary.)
 Noyon, the southern anchor post of the German armies in the Somme battle field, has been occupied by the French. The capture of the city has been expected several days, and its effect on the great battle field of Picardy therefore is largely discount ed. Along the front north of Noyon apparently there was little change during last night. The British south of the Somme are said to be advanc- ing, but details of the progress do not appear in official statements. The development of an allied advance would seem to indicate that the pock- ct on the southern end of the battle line is being emptied and that there is little hope of the allies being able to catch any large number of the en- emy troops there.

Pennsy Runs Crews
Through On All Divisions

Running through with trains to
the Middle and other divisions, crews
from the Baltimore division and ad-
ditional points on the Pennsy sys-
tenn are striving to aid the company
in getting freight to destinations
more rapidly.
This is the initial instance on the
Pennsy when freight crews from di-
visions as remote as the Baltimore
have continued on through runs so
long. They are operating over the
Middle and other divisions with the
assistance of pilots. The company
has found that engines can be used
over other divisions in passenger
service and now the men in the
freight work are getting innovations
in the way of long, direct runs.
Officials are bending every effort
to keep freight of the class not af-
fected by embargoes, moving and
much coal was hauled east yesterday
while hundreds of empty cars were
rushed back toward mines, Consid-
erable trouble has been experienced
this week in the coal used on loco
motives but the motive power is

chosen as the totle of the wonderful

Regarding relations between Ger

the fact that during the recent dem

To Clear Reading Lines
Is Order From Officials

Reading, Jan. 2S.-President A.
T. Dice, Vice. President C. II. Ewing
General Manager F. M. Falck and l.
A. Seiders, superintendent of motive
power and rolling equipment, with
General Superintendent w. H. Kef-
fer, of the Reading Railway, held a
conference in the office of Mr.. Kef-
fer Saturday.
There was a general discussion OF
the freight and coal situation and it
was found that, barring the embar-
go prevailing, the Reading is in very
good shape. 1t was found that the
railway has not been blocked at any
time. The delays have always been
due to the inability of the connect
ing lines to take care of the traffic
offered them as rapidly as it was de-
livered.
General Manager Falck reported
that preparations are being made to
clear up the anthracite fields, and if
nothing happens there will not be a
loaded car in the entire region to-
day, barring further snowstorms.
