 INVITATIONS TO SPEAK

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, March Ex-Governor Brough is declining many invitations to speak outside of the state, on &C., count of the great demands upon his time for official and patriotic duty at home.
 He has just declined an invitation from B. s. Stephen, chairman of the committee on arrangements, for pa- triotic celebration to be held April 6, at Columbia, Mo. MT. Stephens wired that he was to be the principal speaker and he added: At no place could you do more good and no where your efforts will be more greatly ap- preciated than in Columbia, the edu- cational center of Missouri"

April 4, at the office of the secretary of the navy for discussion of State Council work

'PERsH|NG MAKES
 OFFER IF ARMY GERMANS GAIN SOME GROUND
 AT GREAT COST. German Purpose Now Seems to Be to Close In Within Angle Formed By the Somme and Ancre Riv-
 CTS With Point At Amiens.
PARIS IS AGAIN FORWARDED.

With the southwesterly thrust of the German wedge into the allied lines stopped short at Mont Didier, the German purpose now seems to be to close in within an angle formed by the rivers Somme and Ancre with point at Amiens, the allied sup ply base. The Germans seem to have gained some ground since yesterday in their westward push toward Am- iens between Mont Didier and the Somme, but Paris declares the enemy was held firmly on the line at point which is less than twelve miles from Amiens.
 The gigantic conflict between the Scarpe and Disc rivers has entered new phase. Repulsed in their efforts to break through the center, the Ger mans have turned attention to wings of the salient in the allied lines, but heavy fighting continues on most of the fifty mile front. On the northern flank Haig, although giving some ground, repulsed completely, es- pecially between Boisleux and Albert. On the southern flank German gains around Mont Didier were offset by the French offensive south of NQyon and the repulse of heavy enemy at Jacks on the Disc.
 Attention is divided between the German attack along the Scarpe to- ward Arras and the probability of a French movement south beginning a counter offensive on a large scale. Arras is one of the strongest points on the British line. It is guarded on the north by Vimy Ridge and on the south by Wailly Ridge, while there are strong hill positions to the east. The attack continues with the British withstanding enemy efforts gallant ly. East of the Disc, where along the Scarpe the Germans were thrown back with heavy losses.
 American troops are reported in this sector and London newspapers hint at joint Franco-British com mand on the western front with Gen. eral Foch given an important role.
 Other fronts of the situation are unchanged.

 The talking near the door stopped when we entered, then there was a bit of chuckling. The captain left me for moment, and one smiling Tank pressed forward and said, Good evening, sir, but would you mind op- ening your overcoat, sir. The boys here would like to see how human figure properly dressed looks once more. If you don't mind" I, of course, quickly obliged them with a fashion show.
 "And how long is this place open?" I asked them.
 "All the time," they answered.
 This was their club. They could come in at any hour and light up the lamps. It wasn't very classy, they said, but it would be better when the Salvation Army had more money to spend.
 "You ought to tell what fine work these people are doing over here" ]" one private from Brooklyn suggested. q don't know what we would do without them. Did you know this was the last place down the road. The Salvation Army is closer to the trenches even than brigade headquar- ters."
 There were number of "pans" in sight. In them the two women make cookies, doughnuts and pies for our boys-the kind of things they like to eat back home and that you can- not send over wrapped in packages and these Salvation Army huts are the only places where they can be found in Europe. On the day was there the two women had found time, when not ministering to the men to make 1,500 doughnuts, 2,50O cookies and fifty pies, including countless cups of coffee.
 "The boys are just dear," said the Salvation Army lassie. Of course, they haven't very happy lot, poor souls. It's all so strange and horrible to them. The ensign and I act to- ward them just like mothers"

ACSpOiluCut Ol tuC Ot. LOluS CtdI.J Paris, (Via London), March 2O.- The American general who first in- troduced me to the work of the Salva- tion Army was gracious enough to have me for dinner before spent a night in the American trenches. The dinner was fair one and ended with a fine applepie the first pie have found in all Europe with thes crust crisp and neatly kneaded, just like mothers kind back home.
 "You must have conscripted the chef of the Waldorf-Astoria and brought him over with you," said. smacking my lips.
 "No, we owe that pie to the Sal- vation Army" he smiled, "just as we owe a great deal of the contentment of our men to the Salvation Army"
 "The Salvaton Army-from back home-with tamborines and bass drums ?"
 The general was smiling broadly now, with the pleasure that goes with telling good news. "That same Sal vation Army" he said. "Our men in the trenches up here have found their best friend in the Salvation Army, and I say this without preju- dice against any other organization. Their attitude toward the boys is that of a mother. When it grows it's go- ing to be the army's Big Mother" ]" They treat every fellow, rough or re- fined, as if they loved him. You have only to read the soldiers, as we do here in censoring the mail, to real ize how deep in the hearts of our men is the Salvation Army.
 Captain , before you go up frint with MT. Bye tonight, take him over to the Salvation Army hut, please and let him have talk with the ensign and Miss Morgan"
 This was brigade headquarters, in a deserted Lorraine village, where l was stopping. Here the men in the trenches came for rest during their relief periods. As we tumbled down the road in the black night, the earth shook occasionally with the violent shock of an American battery going off Gin bunch" Ugly splashes of light came with these gun bursts. The Huns were sending nothing over at the time so the road was not de- serted. We found clusters of Tanks strolling along in the same direction we were going. Intermittently we could hear a sullen throbbing of dis tant bombs. German bombs and the English ones the Americans use. In large wrecked barn, covered over with canvas and queerly lighted by two large oil lamps, we found the Salvation Army host to a chatterlng crowd of our boys. David Belasco could not have found lamps or rough tables or devised setting as grip ping as this scene, nor could he lml- tate the realism of that disturbance in the trenches just down the road Too close to the firing line to be comfortable, here was happy party in full swing. The hut was nearl.' filled to capacity with soldiers, each telling of his trench experiences. Be hind the counter were two smiling
