At a we'll attended meeting in the
Grand Theatre last Friday night,

fine addresses by Captain George
Edgington, on detached service at
the University of Idaho, Mrs. S. E.

covers period of three months.
Mrs. Hutton told in a very de-
lightful way the field which the Sal

work ovreseas. She made a strong
appeal to the citizens of this COM

ing funds for the purpose of making
it possible for the Salvation Army

Summer Complaint

During the hot weather of the
summer months some member of
almost every family is likely to be
troubled with an unnatural loose
ness of the bowels, and it is of the
greatest Importance that this be
treated promptly, which can only
be done when the medicine is kept
at hand. Mrs. F. F. Scott, Scots

Chamberlain's Collie and Diarrhoea
Remedy as much as five years ago.
At that time | had a severe attack
of summer complaint and was suff-

WITH EVERYBODY AT
 "ALERT" POSITION
 GAS MAY COME TODAY
Gas Common Expression In Pine Bluff, Though Not As Sinister
 As In the Trenches.
MARTIAL PETA!N
 TR4NI.E

There is chance that the gas will come on sometime today. MT. F. H. Young, local manager of the gas com pany said he could not promise any thing definite, but that communica- tion from the Little Rock office said the break in the line would probably be mended sometime Monday night. If such is the case, the gas will be on probably today.
 The construction of the auxiliary line, after it had been partially com pleted, was discontinued, and work on the cofferdam resumed. The first cof- fer dam built was unable to stand the strain. and second one constructed. The auxiliary line was found to be inn practicable. It would necessitate a matter of greater delay, and with the advent of good weather. the work on the cofferdam could be expedited.
 Gas a Familiar Word.
 The word gas is as familiar word in Tine Bluff perhaps, as it was in the trenches in France. Though no one rresumes to say it has here as sinis- ter or as serious meaning as it had "over there."
 In the battle zones, in gas range, which was about twelve miles from the front line, trenches. everybody wore their gas masks tied up snuglv under their chins, or at the "alert" position as it is called.
 And when gas was detected, the signal went believing forth from the giant lungs of diaphone. This in- strument which is operated by com pressed air makes noise like hum dred donkeys praying simultaneously and with enthusiasm. At the signal, everybody holds their breath and make a dive for the gas mask
 Gas is maeic word here. And Pine Ruff awaits at the "alert" posi- tion. The "wi'd cat" whistle will act as the diaphone, and when the signal "Gos@" is sounded, there will be a rush and a hustle not for masks. but for the spigeot of the gas stove and 2 match. And after the fires are all lighted and doing well. Pine Bluff cit izens may move the wood back into the wood house. police up around the stove. and resume the ordinary bnsi- ness If 1ife-end of conversation. For "gas" has been good alibi to lie abed late in the noorninps: and it has nrov- ed good topic of conversation-and denunciation.

CONSTABLE DUELS WITH
 AUTOMOBILE BANDITS
Fleeing Auto Thieves Open Fire When Constable Green Pursues.-Car
 Later Found at Little Rock.

Constable Clint Green brought a serviceable career as public officer to a close today, when in his last of- ficial act, probably, he recovered one of two cars stolen from c. H. Trip lett by a band of auto bandits, after having been fired upon by members of the band from one of the cars.
 Sometime during the night Sunday night, but more probably toward morning, two cars. one an Oldsmobile, the other Cadillac sedan, property of c. H. Triplett, were stolen from his garage at Elm street and Fourth avenue. MT. Triplett was unaware of the theft until this morning, and had it not been for rather unlucky coin cidence from the viewpoint of the thieves, and more than coincidence quick work on the part of Constable Green-the thieves would have made away with at least one of the cars. town on Fifth avenue yesterday morning at about five o'clock when he met car which turned north on Wal nut street. The car tried to hog the roed and caused the constable to use quick work with the steering wheel to avert an accident The rapidity with which they were going and the recklessness of the driving caused MT. Green to conclude that they were joy riders. and he began a pursuit.
 After several blocks one of the members of the gang opened fire on the pursuing car with revolver. MT. Green raised his windshield. and re- turned the fire, His ammunition was soon exhausted, and he gave up the chase and returned to town. This morning early the loss of the cars was reported by MT. Triplett, and Constable Green took up the case. | A trip to Little Rock was the result, and the discovery of the car abandon ed at cemetery near that city was the result of the trip. No further trace of the bandits could be had
 It is MT. Greens personal opinion that they were members of an organ ized band of auto thieves, operating in conjunction with, or probably a part of the hand which is operatino so successfully in Little Rock. and that they abandoned the car fearing apprehension.
 The Oldsmobile which the thieves stole was found vesterdav nornine at Fifth and Elm street, having beer agardoned because it was not in good running condition. The Cadillac SC, dan was returned to its owner today Several holes in the rear end showed the effect of MT. Greens marksman. shin.
 It is hardly possible that the auto thieves can be connected with the bur glaries committed last night, as these cars were evidently stolen just before day. while the burelaries were com. mitted near midnight. The fact o1 their hasty departure early in the morning makes their connection witt the burglaries improbable.

 FRIENDSHIP
 FRATERNITY
The Keynote of Dr. Wilson's Speech in Free Trade Hall, Manchester.

Manchester, Dec. 30.-CBy The Associated Press. s.)-The people of Manchester made President Wilson a Freeman of their city today. They did more than that, they made him at home.
 It seemed as though all the men, wo- men and children of the town, and many from Lancashire-a cheer ed the President at some stage of the crowded five hours in which he made sort of democratic royal progress from one point of interest to another. which was strenuous enough and vast political campaigners.
 The general atmosphere of all the proceedings was intimate and friend ly; often the people got near enough to shake hands. Even the ceremony of conferring the freedom of the city had a tone of homely simplicity and seemed more like college commence ment than formally staged ritual. The assembly sang For he's jolly good fellow," which could hardly have occurred at a state banquet in the Guild Hall
 It was happy inspiration that led the Aldermen to throw open the larg- est hall in the city, instead of follow ing custom by holding the ceremony in the municipal chamber This by no means reduced the effect of the inn portant speech the President deliver ed.
 His most important pronouncement, l Innrhonc fn En c1i portant made in England, that the Uni ted States would make no covenant with any powers except one with all the powers, was not lost upon his hearers. No other audience during his European appearances has absorbed the Presidents utterances so eagerly, so understandingly, and has so quick ly responded to every important point. No other audience has resemb1ed so noticeably the character and types Iof people to whom the President has been accustomed to speak at home. i Perhaps this was because Lancash- ire has contributed so many citizens to the United States and has such close industrial connections and fol- lows American affairs with keener interest than most English counties.
 The first item in the days pro- gramme was drive to the famous docks which have made Manchester an inland port.
 Later the President made brief appearance in the Balcony of the Roy al Exchange, where he spoke. Finally he took lunch with 200 prominent men in the Midland Hotel, where he made an acknowledgement of Manchester's hospitality.
 Only the weather was unfriendly to- day. It was gray and thicK with inter- vals of rain, but that is typical of the season in the midlands, and it kept nobody indoors.
 Shaking hands with the Lord Mayor and the Chief Constable on the parting , the President said:
 "Gentlemen, I congratulate you both Continued on page five)

 PREC|P|TATES' CABLE DEBATE
Said Postmaster General Comes Close to Breaking Faith With Congress-"

Nashhl$lon, Dec. 30.-Criticism of ros'maSter General Burleson for 'aklhg over the Marine cables after the slsnlng of the armistice was re- ne"eo today in the senate. Senator 'Hltcncock, of Nebraska, chairman of the foreign relations committee ure- clpltated the discussion after pre- oeHtlhs letter from Mr. Burleson III Whlch the Postmaster General de- med that he had exceeded his au- thorlty and asserted that the order taking over the cables had been slsned by the president November ?.
 senator Hitchcock said the Post master General had come "very close 10 breaking faith with congress-" and that he was not justified in taking over the cables after hostilities ceased. He also accused Mr. Burle. son of suppressing the order for some time
 senator Watson, Republican, Of Indiana, charged that the date on the order had originally been fixed at November 14, but because of the signing of the armistice sooner than expected, it was changed to Novem- Der 2.
 Senator Kellogg, of Minnesota, Re- publican, said he had been informed the order was signed by the presi- dent Cn November ?, tlt it was not ccuntersigned by the secretary of state and it was never published or exhibited to any Cne unti' after the war had closed and the armjstice had been signed"
 In his letter to Senator Hitchcock, Mir. Burleson said:
 "Of course, my dear Senator, no one knows better than you that a public official is not cal!cd upon to notice the mouthings of irresponsible blatherskites who may criticise or misrepresent his official actions, hut when a critical statement is made by a Senator of the United States, it not only justifies but calls for re- spCnse.
 ''Of course it is not true hat I have of my own will, ruthlessly seized and taken possession of these cables: of course it is not true that ] have taken possession of them just lo dtlly lily pC Spi-'lh 'HIN AAtiobN, personal opinion aud personal wish- es: of course it is not true that have reached out to control business activities the congress did not in- tend to put into my hands. feel that reply to a!' such charges can be conclusivvly made by quotations from motion tc dismiss filed by the representative ,f the law depart ment of OUT goyeiDhcn. made by Ci. rection of the attorley general Of the United States to silly suit re- gently instituted ;(tor publicity pur' poses) in a court kalown to be with out jurisdiction against the postmas- ter general in which these unfnnr1 l. ed charges are set forth"

 Dr. Smith told why he was leav- ing Nenana; he told why others would leave before the war is won; and why those who remain at home should feel an equal responsibility and strive to their very utmost to insure victory for the couse of Right.

MOOSE WILL MEET
 TO START SEARCH

A special meeting of the Nenana lodge of the Loyal Order of Moose has been called for tonight to con- sider the disappearance of William Carpenter, a member of the local organization who has been missing since last Friday. The question of instituting a systematic search will be brought up for the consideration of the members and it is considered probable that definite action will be taken without further deal.
 The friends and lodge brothers of the missing man have become thoroughly convinced that some mis- hap has befallen him. He has dis appeared completely, leaving no trace behind. In all probability, Moose lodges throughout the territory and on the coast will be asked to make inquiries, the local members will continue the search which was start, ed several days ago by friends of Carpenter. ..-#::. ...~::
