DEFENDS ALLIANCE
 BEFORE COMMITTEE
President of German-American Body Says It Was "PatriOtic" and
 Harmless.

Washington. March 19.-A general defense of the patriotic character of the National German-American alli. ance against charges of disloyalty was made today before senate judiciary subcommittee, by the Rev. s. G. von Vosse, of Wilmington. Delaware, pres ident, who asserted the alliance has no connection with the German gov ernment or the German people, and that it's influence has always been di rected towards keeping alive German ideals and the fostering of loyalty to this country. The committee has un- der consideration a bill by Senator King of Utah, which would revoke the federal charter of the organization because of it's dislOyal utterances and activities.
 "1he alliance has never entertained even the remOtest official connection with the German government or the German people," Mr. von Vosse said.

BIGGEST NAVAL BILL IN HISTORY
 GOES TO HUUSF:
Measure Will Run Years Expenses to Nearly Total
 of Previous 12 Years.

Washington, March 19-The annu- al appropriation bill, earring more than $500, O,OOO,0OO, and authorizing a war time increase in the navy's en- listed strength from 87,000 to 180,000 was reported to the house today by Chairman Padgett of the naval com mittee. Secretary Daniels tonight ex- pressed complete satisfaction with the measure, saying the committee had improved upon official recommends tions as result of thoro study of the department and it's needs.
 "The bill is larger by over $80,0O0- 900 than any prior naval bill, carry ing roundly S1,327,6O0,000," said MT. Daniels. "This sum, together with last years bill and the supplemental appropriations carried in the two de- ficiency bills of the preceding session make almost three billion of dollars provided for the navy in little more than 12 months, while the total eXpen- ditures of the navy from 1794 to 1916 inclusive, period of 122 years, only exceeded this sum by 360 odd million dollars. I make this comparison bet ter to convey what it means to SUD- port and operate the navy on the scale demanded by the present conflict"

LACK OF FUNDS CHECKS

Aero Club Says Changed Conditions Demand Billion Dollar
 Appropriation.

New York. March 19.-Lack of funds has prevented the United States from carrying out an aircraft pro gram which will gain and maintain the allied supremacy in the air, ac- cord:ng to a statement issued tonight by the Aero Club of America. Recom- mendation is made that an appropri- ation of three billion dollars be made by congress for the work. The pres ent appropriation is $640,0O0,O00
 The statement says that the present aircraft program was made at a cNne when Russia still was fighting, and before the Italian reverse. TAese changed conditions, the club contends made it necessary for the United States to triple it's efforts in building |airpianes and training aviators. A detailed report of the situation has lbeen made by the officials of the club lat the request of the government, il Iwag said.

New Cotton Association yR|ili
 Establish Branch Office Here
Under New Exchange Methods, Spots Gan Be Sold In New York and Delivered to Branch Here-Al
 Local Cotton Men Join.

The American Cotton and Grain ex- change. now being organized, has des- ignated Pine Bluff as one of the branch offices, which will give owners of cotton here the advantage of sell ing on the New York exchange and delivering their cotton to the compress or warehouse here designated by the exchange, and having it accepted as delivered, receiving the price at which it was sold, less the actual cost of transportation to New York. The value of this advantage is very appar- ent at this time, when about 6O,000 bales of cotton are held here, and can not be sold tho there are purchasers for all of it, simply because it cannot be transported to the Eastern mills.
 The American Grain and Cotton ex- change is located at 71-73 Wall street, New York. It is new organization, launched by Georgia cotton men, and is expected to prove of immense bene- fit to the South-particula the pro- ducers of cotton. Practically every Pine Bluff cotton man has purchased a membership in the exchange, which will deal in 25 and 50 bale lots, as we'll as larger lots.

BELIEVE SUPREME WAR COUNCIL HAS
 DRIVE PLANNED
V. $. Officers Believe Body Controls All Reserves
 for Emergency Use.

Washington, March 19.-The key to the 1918 riddle of the western battle front is in the hands of the supreme war council at Versailles. Decision as to the time ana place of major offen- sives by the allies rests with that body. It directly controls, also off cers here believe, new weapon, forg- ed during the winter, with which to make effective it's plans of grand strategy. The weapon is believed to lie in pooling of the army reserves of all the allied armies, permitting ov- erwhelming concentrations at select ed points of attack.
 American observers now are con- vinced the German high command plans a defensive campaign, and that the long talked of drive on Paris, or the channel ports has been abandoned.
 The initiative, according to this view rests with the allied and American forces
 Communicates are being closely scan- ned for the first indication of any of- fensive operations mapped out at Yer sales.

 Are Ready.
ACTIVITY QUICKENS
 ALONG ALL SECTORS
Infantry Raids. Artillery Due!S and tir Fights on all Fr0nts-RaidS Made in Belgium With
 Little Success.
Associated Press Summary ]

Associated Press Sllmmary.) Withstanding the fact that the Germans for some time past have ad- vertlsed largely their intent to begin a general offensive on the allied front at no distant date, nothing beyond in- tenslVe bombardments, and here and there infantry attacks on various sec tors, have been forthcoming. In both these kind of maneuvers the Teutons have met more than their match in the guns of the men of the allied armies-the Belgians. British, French, Americans, Italians and Portuguese. Probably realizing that their eff. forts to hearten the people at home are beginning to require something more substantial than words, another tack has been taken, which either must result in an attempt tA carry out seemingly vainglOrious promises, or result in the German population believing as the allied leaders long have believed. that, with their oDpo- nents strengthened in every dep part ment and prepared for any assault, the German high command is strong on holding out chimeras and weak fin endeavoring to make good their boasts.
 Almost as perfunctorily as invita- tions are issued for attendance upon state functions, the Germans now have bidden journalists of neutral coun tries to appear on the western battle front to witness the commencement of the German operations. The cores pondents. it is satted, are expected to begin their journey towards the scene ! i<,f ErrLt where all along the line fgurative1y speaking the allied armies, their guns shotted and their men in scerried ranks, are awaiting with confidence 1 the tOcsin.
 Raids and Big Guns.
 In the meanwhile all along the bat the front in the west from the North sea to the Adriatic the hOstilities continue to be carried out by means of big guns of the opposing sides and by small units of infantry in rafding operations. In none of the raids has any material gain been achieved by either side except possibly by the French troops of General Petain in the Rheims region, where German po- sitions to depth of three-fifths of a mile, were penetrated.
 The Germans are trying out with relatively heavy attacks positions held by the Belgians. Altho they succeed ed at several points in their objectives, they later were driven out from the greater portion of the positions gain ed, leaving prisoners and mAchina guns in the Belgians' hands.
 Americans Worry B0ches. The American troops on the Toul sector continue daily to give the en- emy little rest, bombarding towns be- hind the lines and also trenches in the front of them.
 Along the Chemin des Danes, an other portion of the front held by the Americans, there has been rather heavy play of gas shells from the German guns, but the men from over seas have answered fourfold all the German projectiles.
