A company with capital stock of $250,000 is making efforts to secure a building in this city suitable for the establishment of large department store, and if the right location can be obtained it is very probable that Pine Bluff will have dry goods store sec ond to none in the state.
 This was the statement made yes terday afternoon by Secretary E. B. Bloom of the Chamber of Commerce, who has authority to act for this con- cern in selecting site, and MT. Bloom conferred with local real estate man yesterday in regard to this matter.
 "This is bona-fde proposition,' ? stated MT. Bloom, land while would much rather see local concern take this matter up, still Pine Bluff can support much larger department store than there is in this city, and out-of-town capital is anxious to m- vest here. I received communities tion today from company which has unlimited backing. asking me to look into the matter of establishing large department store in this city for them, and requesting mesto secure for them a desirable location if possible.

Up-tO-Date Department Store
 May be Established in City

I am doing, and if our local capital ists don't realize the possibilities to be attained in a large and up-to-date department store in this city, it is very probable that out-of town capital will make the most of the opportunity"
 MT. Bloom stated that this concern is very anxious to establish a depart ment store in this city, and is willing to lease a suitable building for a term of twenty years. They are also will ing to make the desired Improvements in the building, provided it is in suit able location.
 The questionnaires recently sent out by the Chamber of Commerce are be- ing returned rapidly and contain many helpful suggestions for the local mer- chants. These questionnaires were discussed at the meeting of the board of trustees of the Chamber of Com merce yesterday at noon, and many comments were made on the results to be obtained by them.
 MT. Bloom hopes to be able to give some kind of an answer to the inquir' ing company at an early date, as there are a number of building sites in view that would be suitable for an estab~ lishment of this kind.

 American tirmen Detailed.
NSociatc,i i'reSS1

Althou2A the peace conference be wiki government and the central pow cls WaS due to roconEenc lrid2y, no nrwS h4S come thru indicating whoth- CT the meeting took place. Neither have there been any adNiCeS as to whether the difficulties in the way of reaching an agreement have been SurmOuntcd or if concCSslGES by elth- CT side mal,in., possible further nego- lialions are int nGed. Dissatisfied ion with the proposals of the central powers apparentN does not obtain solely on the side of lhe lolShcviki "oVGrnEont. but exists amonk the delegates of the central powers them selves. Austria, Bulgaria and Turk cE are asserted to have disagreed with the volunteering attitude of the Germans at Crest Lisotsk conference where they posed as conquerors while ,hcir allies delegates envinccd an eager desire for D ace, and a iiapo ditiGl to compromise.
 Chancellor Talks to RcichStag. TAc attitude of the German social iSts against the derlands of tine cen tral powers, especially thoSa provid ing for the retention of Poland, Lit luania, Cortland and other occupied ttrNtoiy, has forced the imperial chancellor to refer to the situation before the main committee of the reichstag. The cnancellor'a state mcnt. however, was merely plat tude and gave no nklns az to what Germany's future intentions in the premises were, and then left to the under secretary for foreign affairs the task of outlining in the most perflactory style the trend of the negotiations up to the time that the recess vas taken at Brest-Lisotsk. :
 Battle Fronts Quiet.
 On the battle fronts the cOmpara tive calm of the past few days con tnues, altho il local attacks in the Cambrai sector, the Germans have pushed back four British advanced posts for short distances. The artil lery duels along the western front in France and Belgium, and also in Italy. are still going on, but the In fontrv is virtually idle except fOl patrol engagements. Again there has been considerable fighting in the alr on the western front. Tbe German war office asserts that tae German aviators during the week have ac- tounted for 23 ally airplanea and two captive balloons. French aviatOrs have brought down s German mach ines and also carried out bombing operations behind the German lines.

 The American army in France is to be reinforced by the American avia- tors who became famous as pilots in the French escadrilles. Thirty-two men. mostly members of the Layfette cscadrilla, will be the first to be sworn in to the American army. 9th CTS will follow them as rapidly as possible. To the band of experienced men shortly will be added the first group of young American pilots and observers to take instruction near the battle front. They already have fin ished their first tests and now are to be sent to the front to complete their work under actual rattle con ditiOnS.

State Department Officials Say No
 Acceptance of BOlshey1ki by OrientalS.
Associated PreSS.)

Washington, Jan. 4.-Nothing of the reported intention of the Japanese government to extend recognition to the Bolsheviki has been heard by the state department and the Japanese embassy is equally ignorant on the subject. In view of the complete un- derstanding that has existed between the entente allies in regard to unity of action insuch matters, it is said in entente circles here that it is certain Japan would not take the initiative in recognizing the Bolsheviki without full conference with her allies and America. State department officials say that there have no negotiations on the subject up to this point.
