Associated Press SumnarvD


 The military aeHvit4 on the vest ern front is daily iacreaslas in vol nne The patrol encounters are ne- ing carried out by larger parties than has been the case since the winter set In. and more zest is added to the fighting.
 The British near Epphy and La Basse have conducted further incur slonS into the enemy positions, in the latter region inflicting numerous casualties and also taking prisoners and machine guns.
 Likewise, north of the Ailette river, and in the Woevre sector, the French have made successful attacks, cap turing nearly 300 prisoners.
 somewhat. ambitious attack by the Germans in the Verdun sector was put down by the French with se- were caeualties.
 Huns Feel Gut Americans.
 Between the American and the Ger mans there is a constant exchange Of artillery fire. and the Americans con llnue 10 carry out patroililg man. euVfrs towards the eneme trenches. The Germans evidently are anxious to gauge the positions occupied by the Americans, and also asceraining the number Of men they are employ ing daily, for their aircraft hover ov- CT the lines, taking photographs and making observations. Anti-aircraft guns several times have driven off the enemy.
 Altho the increase in activity along the entire front in France and Eel gium is' noticeable. there is no indi- cation when the Germans will begin their much-hera general offen- sive. A German captured by the British says that at least one big at tack is due sometime in March Meanwhile. large concentrations of fresh troops are daily arriving behind the, German lines, and carrying on practice maneuvers.
 tustrians Attack in Italy.
 On the Italian front. the Austrians again have endeavored to test the strength of the Italians in the Sette Communu sector. The German war office asserts that the Austrians car ried out a successful attack but the Italian official communication de- clares that the Austrian columns were torn to pieces by artillery and the offensive was completely repuls- ed.
 There was considerable increase in the number of aerial attacks deliver ed by airmen on German tocons in January. In all 31 of these raids were made, according to the German official statement Karlsruhe, Mann helm. Frederchshaven the home of the Zeppelin ailtship industry, and other towns were bombed.

Says it iS Great Britain's "iiegrettabfe Duty" t1 G0 On With War Intij International Rights
 Assured.
(Associate Press Summary.l ]

l y
 King George and David Lloyd George, the British prime minister, in addresses to the British pal'liment-the former before a joint session of tho house of lords and house of commons 1 have declared again that in the re cent utterances of the spokesmen of the Tautonic allies there can be found no basis for a peace which will fill the ! demands of the democratic govern ments. The addresses of both the mon arch and his prime minister were at one with President Wilson's speech, made Monday.
 King George declared that until there was a recognition of the basic principles upon which an honorable peace could be concluded, it was the duty of the British to prosecute the war with all the vigor they possess MT. Lloyd George asserted that President Wilson's estimate of the recent speeches of Count von Hert- ling, the imperial German chancell- or, and Count Czernin, the Autro- Hungarian foreign minister, was d correct one. He added that the Brit ish government had not received one iota from it's announced war aims. Until some further proof than has leaders of the central powers that been provided by the speeches of tha those countries were prepared to con- sider the aims and ideals for which the allies and the United States were fighting, MT. Lloyd George said, it would be Great Brtain's regrettable duty to go on, and make the prepar- ations necessary to establish internat iOnal rights.

HURLEY THANKS ARKANSAS F0R
 AID EXTENDED
Chairman Shipping Board Urges Importance of
 Enrolling Men.

Little Rock, Feb. 12.-Edward M Hu.ey, chairman of the United States shipping board this morning sent the following message to w. G Sprague, chairman of the United States Public Service reserve for Ar kansas:
 Permit me to extend to you and through you to all your enrolment agents the thanks of the United States Shipping board for your ef- forts in conducting the work of the United States Public Service re- serve which has been put in your charge. No more important, patriot lc service can be performed than that with which you are entrusted Upon the thoroughness of your canvass of your communities for men skilled in trades uesful in ship-building, and willing to enroll as shipyard volun- teers will depend in large measure the success of the whole military and industrial program of our country for the coming years. Other industry must wait upon the production of ships. l trust you will not relent in your efforts until the full quota for your state is reached"
 At the meeting of the state council of defense, MT. Sprague reported that there had been considerable confus- ion in getting out the supplies for the registration of the shipyard volun- teers, of whom 2500 are to be enroll en in Arkansas. Two hundred have been registered in Pulaski county and 46 in Garland. It is officially stated that this delay is due to railway con- gestion. Supplies left Washington on time, but the traffic paralysis has play ed havoc with mail and express distri- button. MT. Sprague expressed con- fidence that the full quota would be reached speedily, notwithstanding the delay in the receipt of supplies. |
 Official messages from the shipping board reiterate that the men must not report for duty until the yards are ready to receive them and they are called for service.
