 Endorsement of War Work--Protes5 on Hogs

The prospects for a new industry for Pine Bluff, the wiring of resolu- tion endorsing the governments war record, the report of Mayor Simon Bloom on his trip to Washington and a protest on hogs being allowed with in the city limits were the features of the meeting of the trustees of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday.
 T A. Richards, an efficiency en- gineer connected with the Fort Scott Sorghum company, of Fort Scott Kansas, was present at the meeting and stated that his company had been in communication with Secretary Bloom for some time over the ouas- tion of locating plant here. MT. Richards stated that he had been commissioned to find a suitable loca- tion for a subsidiary plant, and that, after inspecting some 13 or 14 towns, he considered that Pine Bluff offered the best advantages. He stated that his company was a solid. going con- concern, now doing a business of s1,- 100000 a year, and had been located at Fort Scott since 1900. The plant produces sorghum syrup and makes extensive use of the by-products. The subsidiary plant which the company is considering locating here will employ 35 men during the season and 15 all the year round, and, according to Mr. Richards will mean an additional in- come of $100,000 to the farmers of this section. Climatic conditions at Fort Smith are given as a reason for the company's desiring to branch out. Mr.. Richards and Secretary Bloom both state that the complete details have not yet been arranged and the deal has not been definitely closed, but the factory representative was positive in his statement as to the advantages offered by this city, and his desire to locate here.
 Vote Thanks to Mayor.

 Endorse War Policy,


 A resolution endorsing the govern ment's war stand was introduced by w. F. Coleman and was adopted by a unanimous rising vote. Copies of 1t were mailed to the president of the senate and the states senators and representatives in congress- while the resolution was telegraphed to presi- dent Wilson. The resolution follows:
 Whereas, we deem the charges against our war preparations, given sensational publicity by a few sen ators at Washington who are the pro- ponements of the discredited war-cab- inet bill, are slander upon the splendid achievements of the war de- partment and of the government and people of the United States; therefore be it resolved:
 I. That a united and confident American people are standing soldly behind the president and his able as sistants in the conduct of the war.
 7. We condemn as unwise the so called war-cabinet bill or any other legislation seeking to divide the re- sponsibility or limit the authority of the president in the full and unhamp- S1So SoHuuCC eiiu lldudSculpuC OI Cne war in all it's phases.
 5, We recognize and hereby com mend the wisdom and statesmanship of those of the national congress who have resisted the measures and agi- tation herein condemned, and assure them of the gratitude and approval of their constituents, and of the peo- pie.
 4. That copy of these resolutions be sent to the president, the secreary of war and the president of the sen ate of the United States. and to our senators and representatives in con- gross.

DR. Foster related how the Germans
had in one case captured one city Of
some $4,000 inhabitants; had lined the
young women up In the public square
and allotted them othe officers; had
taken the rest back to Germany and
forced them to slave for Hun militar-
ism. This, he said, is going on all the
time. After the unfortunate people be-
come too weak to stand, even at the
point of the bayonet, they are sent back
to France through Switzerland. At
present they are arriving in France at
the rate of 1000 every day. They are
