SUMMARY OF
 WAR ACTIVITY
Operations On Battlefields Are Con- fined to Raids and Small Bom-
 ardments-Airmen Active.
Associated Press Dispatch.

New York, March With the cessation of the German advance through Russia, military operations on the European war fields again are confined to trench raids and artillery bombardments. Aerial activities on both sides is almost equally as active. The Germans, however, have been somewhat more aggressive than us- ual during the last thirty-six hours. Artillery fighting on the French lines is centered chiefly in the Verdun re- zion, where German raids were re- pulsed There are bombardments in various points of Lorraine but are not mentioned in official reports of infantry activity against the Ameri- can sectors. The German advance through Russia was suspended Tues day, according to Petrograd dis patches. It's resumption Wednesday appears to have been only to accom- plish a consolidation of the German dead line delineated in the peace treaty along the Estronian and Li- vonian borders. Addresses made at the workmen's and soldiers meeting at Moscow indicate a full understand ing among the leaders and Russian masses of the nature of a peace with Germany exacted from the Bolshe- wiki One of the speakers declared the frontiers constituted a firing of iron around revolutionary Russia" ," which Germany intended to crush through economic demands.

DECLINES TO GALL
 SPECIAL SESSION.
Says Cost of Session Would Not Jus- tify the Call--Received Many
 Communications.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, March 7.--Gov. c. H. Trough has definitely declined to call special session of the legislature to- correct the errors in the "bone-dry'' law, and will not do so unless condi- tions become intolerable. The gov- ernor has received hundreds of let ters and telegrams and discussed the question with many people, most of whom are ardent prohibitionists and they agree that the cost of the extra session does not justify the call
 The next session of the legislature is but nine months off and Governor Brough declares he will ask for an immediate strengthening of the law, as well as ratification of the Federal prohibition act. Gov. Brough states that he has consulted with the ne11l- bers of the house and finds many who will not serve without their per diem, and the senate is against the special session, with neither branch willing to come and discuss merely the pros hibition question, which would make it questionable what action would be taken.

 ATTEND MEETING
 AT COURT HOUSE
Nearly s5,OOO Is Pledged for Support of Organization and Committee To Complete Organization
 Is Named
PLAN TO INCORPORATE SOON

That a Chamber of Commerce. is wanted in Newport was shown plain ly by the attendance of several hum dred business and professional men at the court house Wednesday night, there not being one of the large num- Der to register dissenting voice against the formation of such an or ganization here.
 The crowd is said to have been the most representative assembly ever gathered together in Newport. Prac- tically every available seat in the circuit court room was occupied.
 The meeting was opened by Chair man A. T. Hubby, who announced that the committee, appointed several nights ago at previous meeting, had assembled and made assessments of amounts against the different busi- ness firms of the city, the amounts to be paid into the treasury of the Chamber of Commerce at quarterly periods, and practically $3,OO0 had been already pledged in this manner, though there were several persons yet to be seen. He spoke of the en- thusiastic manner in which the busi- ness men were rallying to the sup port of the organization and predicted success in the undertaking.
 The first speaker of the evening was Geo. A. Hillhouse, who opened his remarks with the statement that probably during the great number of years he had been residing in New port that he had not particularly mo- ticed the opportunities Newport had lost through the lack of organization, but that he had during the past three or four years realized this loss, and had viewed with regret the rate at which Newport was being outstripped by towns that are less advantageous ly located.
 sThere is no limit to the advance ment that can be made here if we have good, live Chamber of Com merce. I can remember when steam boats from the Mississippi river were plying White river, and the enormous freight tonnage being han
