even as he said this, Peggy saw his

Fred's face took on an evil dark

she must watch him as we'll as Bill.
"All aboard" came cry from
down the row of Puilmans. Peggy,
looking back, saw a green and white
lantern waved. The colored porters
gathered up their little steps and
swung into the vestibues. Engineer
Bill released the air brakes and
gently pulled the throttle. Number
337 gave a granting puff, there was
a hiss of steam, another puff, and
the Night Flyer was i'll motion. So
smoothly did the long train start
that Peggy could scarcely realize
it was moving until she looked out
of the cab and saw that they were
slipping out of the station. Bill
pulled the throttle a bit harder and
Number 337 roared instant response,
dashing eagerly forward at steadily
increasing speed, until they had left

hind them and were rushing out in

90 miles an hour.

PINE BLUFF LABOR MEN LEAVE TODAY
 FOR RUSSELVILLE

A delegation of Pine Bluff union men will leave this afternoon for Rus sellville to attend the Thirteenth an- nual meeting of the State Federation of Labor, which convenes in that city Monday morning. Messrsf M. w.. Myers, president of the local Trades Council, Walter Davis, of the: Mach inists' local, and c. D. Guest, of the Sheet Metal Workers, are the gentle men who will represent Pine Bluff st the convention. y.
 The annual report of the. condition of the State Federation, shows that the affairs of that lody, are in better shape than ever before. The financial condition is very satisfactory, the membership as evidenced by the num- Der of local unions taffiliated, is larg- CT than ever before and the work ac complished by the officers has yield ed greater and more satisfactory re- turns than any previous years. The total invested in Liberty Bonds and War Savings Stamps by members of organized labor ir tfis saate, exceeds a million dollars.

garian government invited all the bel ligerent governments to enter into non-binding discussions at some nen- tral meeting place, with a view to bringing about peace.
 Two days later President Wilson rejected the proposal, declaring that the American government had made it's position and purpose so plain, hay ing repeatedly stated the terms upon which peace would be considered, that it would entertain no proposal for such a conference.
 Baron Burian, the AustroH Hungar- ian foreign minister, in announcing that he was not surprised at the re- Qeption Of his peace note, declared that it had already produced remark able phenomena and would do so still more in the near future.
 Rumors have been prevalent in Vienna political circles that the for eien minister would soon send sec ond note to the belligerents, which would contain more precise state ments.

 Late today it was believed danger of greater devastation by the blow ing up of stores of trinitrotoluol was virtually over.
 All that it left unexploded is bur jed underground caissons along the bank of Cheesequake creek, or is load ed on four barges tied up at the company docks along that stream.
 Army officers reported after a reconnaissance by airplane that the location of the boats and stroehouses is such that they believed there was slight probability it would be explod- ed either by fire or concussion.
 With the passing of the menace of an explosion around the plant, the problem of caring for the homeless became serious. South Amboy a town of about 10000 population, four miles north of Morgan, was virtually wreck ed by the series of bIasts. Scarcely a building in it's remains habitable.
 Many were unroofed and the walls of others blown in, while every pane of glass was broken. More than 400 citizens decided to spend the night there, however. The Red Cross has es- tablished headauarters at Perth Am boy. Ambulances from New York and Newark, with corps of doctors and nurses arrived to take charge of the situation.
 Central depots were opened in churches, schools and other public buildings.
 Communicated automobiles and cars driven by members of the wo- mems motor corps from New, York and New Jersey were sent out-to- pick up fleeing refugees and bring them back to tho depots for shelter. The city and all the territory around Morgan was under martial law.

 those of Count Burian, the Austrian foreign Minister, and with some con- sessions demanded by the social Democrats at their latest meetings.
 Regarding the first, looking to an imm ediate suspension of hostllities, it is suggested that an armistice might be granted. or rather sus- pension of attack by the allies agreed 10, long enough to permit the cen- tra! powers to effect withdrawal Of their military forces from all occu- pied territory, but even in such case. adequate guarantees certainly would be expected for the tsesi-perform- ance' of this obligation by Germany and Austria.
 The proposal to send plenipotentiar- ies in neutral palace to discuss question. .~fOr league for interna- tional Arbitration and disarament : is regarded as transparent effort to nticipate the peace council and pro- bbly would not be entertained for a moment for that reason
 The same objection lies against discussion of the liberalization of Austria, the right of self-determina tion of the Russian border states, re- stitution and indemnification of Bel gium, automny or Alsace-Lorraine and the reaurn o the German colon- ies.
 It is not doubted that the reference to Belgium attributed to Maximilan behooves payment of an indemnity by joint contribution of all the powers an idea already scornfully rejected by the entente, and automny for Alsace-Lorraine in the German scheme probably means a plebiscite which would not return those pro- vinces to France, now that nearly all the adult male French population has been driven out.
 The reported intention of Germany, Austria and Turkey to seek President Wilson's good offices to arrange an armistice, like the other moves said ao be impending would be received here as nothing more than contin- uance of the efforts instituted by Count Burian as far back as last aJn- uary, and repeated several times since, to trap the entente into :, con- sessions by professed acceptance by the cenaral powers of the tedms of settlement laid down by President Wilson.

 The machine circled again and again around the big tract surround ed with barbed wire to aid the SCOT es of armeds guards in keeping out trespaSSers
 Five Units Destroyed.
 The aerial observation showed that five of the thirteen units of the plant had been destroyed by the flames which followed the first ex- plosion, but that the 200 plant guards who began fighting the fire with wa ter pumped from Cheesequake creek after the water mains burst had the situation well in hand.
 Ii indicated that unless there was 2 furious windstorm during the night the fire would not extend either to the harges with their dangerous loads or to the storehouse more than mile away in another direction.

 The chancellors proposal embraced also the dispatch of plenipotentiaries to a neutral place to discuss the ques- tion of a league for national arbitra- tion and disarament.
