Chamber of Commerce NiU
 Be Orgd1Ised m NeDp0u

A large number of representative business men of Newport met last night in the directors room at the First National Bank to confer with J. B. Crockett, representative of the Chamber of Commerce of Little Rock, in regard to ways and means of or ganizing a commercialvbody for New port.
 It so happened that Mayor Hubby had called meeting of his committee and co-workers in the War Camp Community service work at the city hall at the same hour scheduled for the business meeting. As most every one in attendance was interested, in both meetings, at the request of Chairman Hubby the business mems meeting was adjourned to the city hall.
 The object of the meeting and the plan of work as outlined by the lya- ticnal Council of the War Camp Com munity service was stated. First, the chairman gave a special charge to the ministers of the city, asking that they lay special stress on this movement in their sermons Sunday morning. The churches were repre- sented by their ministers in person, who are taking an active interest in the work and are giving their hearty cooperation to the local organiza- ton.
 It was pointed out that in the Red Cross and the Y. M. c. A. campaigns, Jackson county had come forth mo- bly, with her quota; now that the na- tion has found a greater need in the work undertaken by the War Camp Community service, we must rally to the call and come up with the maxi mum amount allotted to Jackson county, which 'is $3,000.
 The Y. M. c. A. and other associa tions of like character provide whole some amusenlents for the soldiers in the camp and are under military di- cip1ine The object of the community

The following resolutions were adopted by the congregation of the First Presbyterian church at New port, Arkansas, Sunday night, Feb ruary 10th, 1918, requesting Govern or c. H. Brough to call an extra ses- sion of the State legislature to enact additional drastic prohibition laws:
 "Whereas, On last Monday the SUI preme court of the state held that the existing laws against the importa- tion of intoxicants into the State of Arkansas was so defective as to per- init known bootleggers to carry large quantities of liquor into the state;' and,
 "Wher.as, This condition of the law is far different from what the good people of the state understood the law to be; and,

| FALSE RUM0R
 |s CIRCULATED
Austrian's Inability to Speak Plainly Credits Him With Having Pur-
 chased His Exemption.

.Seceral days ago when John Evan, an Austrian employed in the bridge department of the Rock Island railroad, received his pay he walked down to the business section of Newport and spent fifteen dollars. Incidentally he went to the court house and filled out his questionnaire. Late in the afternoon he returned to the car in which he was living near the Rock Island depot and told his foreman that he had been to town and spent all his money-fifteen dollars and wanted to borrow dollar more. He incidentally mentioned the fact that he had filled out his question: naire, had taken out naturalization papers, and still being an alien enemy was placed in class five. Evan speaks badly broken English, and the fore man misunderstood him, hence the circulation of the report that Evan had paid fifteen dollars to some one to place him in class five on the draft program.
 When the matter came to the at tention of the local board Evan was called in, and last night the matter was cleared up, it being shown that the foreman for whom Evan worked had construed the latter's remarks in an altogether different meaning from which they were intended.
 Evan came to this country nine years ago from Austria, and bears a good reputation.

 It Is Reported.
Associated Press Dispatch.

New York, Feb. 16-Except in the American sector east of St. Mihiel, there is not much fighting activity on the western front The American troops were subjected to lombard ment by gas shells. The fumes re- mained over the trenches three hours, but there were no casualties. Artil- lery is active and the Americans bom- barded the German rear lines
 communications with good effect. Enemy airmen attempting to cross the lines were driven back. Activity on the British, French and Italian fronts is light. That part of Russia dominated by the Bolsheviki has with drawn all war alliances and there is little fear of German invasion. All the Russian Central executive com mittee and workmen's soldiers coun- cils approved the action of Russian delegates at Bres.-Litovsk. Members of the committee expressed the opin- ion that the masses of Germany and Austria will not permit further of fense against Russia by their govern ments.
