Government Also May Take Over Four Smaller
 Corporations.

Washington, May 24-Negotiations are under way between Director Gen. eral McAdoo and form smaller ex- press companies, Northern, Great Northern Western and Canadian look ing to their participation in merger which has already been arranged ten tatively for the Southern, Adams, Wells-Fargo and American compan- ies. It was reported today that all of the companies probably would come
 in and that the combination with Geo. Taylor of the American company as president, could be approved by the director general as the express carry ing agency of the railroad.
 Under the plan now before Mr. McAdoo including only the four lead ing companies the capitalization of the combination would be 33,000.000 instead of S35 100000 as formerly ar ranged with $3O,OOO,OOO of this rep- resenting the physical valuation of the property and the balance cash. The railroads would receive 50 IA per cent of gross transportation rev enues and in addition one-half of any excess above 5 per cent of the cor poraticn's net earnings.
 The railroads share would be about $110,000,000 if receipts are equal to last year. It is understood the mems wages are to be increased.

Some Predict Defeat of Ger man Offensive Will End
 War This Year.
TIE U TONS IN DANGER
 OF FLANK ATTACKS
American and Italian Troops Have Onset the Losses Sustained bs IrUnco-Hrti,i, in
 First Drive.

Washington. May 2I.- Renewal of the German drive in France, indicae- cd by Premier Lloyd George today to be imminent, finds American military opinion here absolutely confident of the outcome There is not d doubt ir the minds of hiph officers familiar with the situation that the enemy will be repelled with less and the offcn- sivc power of German finally broken. There are thosc who believe that the end of the war may come this year as q result. Others. however, forsee a long defensive struggle by the Ger man army while efforts to make peace on the best possible terms are made by Berlin diplomats.
 Danger of Flank Attack
 The situation as it stands today in France, officers here point out, is that the German position strategicaIly is far weaker than it was when the drive was launched in March. Their lines now are shaped so that there is several points that might mean dis astcr. To guard those points ample re serves must be held whatever the call for men may be from the front of attack
 Before the German army stands q force that has been large rehabil- itated since the shock of the drive fell upon the British and French front and bent them back by weight of num- bers. Losses in men and material have been made good The armies are keyed to high pitch of enthusiasm
 Americans in Line
 American man power sufflcont tc replace by far the larger portion of the losses of the British and French in the bitter fighting which stopped the first German rush has been ear ried to the fighting zones supplement- ing the considerable American force which already was in France
 Except for the finer points of trench warfare the new American units are ready for the battle. They are regard ed as fully prepared for the form of action in which they will be engaged, In addition many thousands of trained Italian troops have reached the front in France. They came without equip ment beyond their uniforms, but have been fully supplied and are available for employment by the supreme com mander, General Foch.

BAKER SfEKS 10
 RAISE AGf FOR ARMY ENLISTMENT
Urges Congress to Extend Maximum Limit From
 40 to 55.

Washington, May N. -.Another move towards full utilization of the country's nan power was made today when Secretary Baker sent to con- aress the draft of bill proposing to raise the maximum age limit for voluntary enlistments in the army from 70 to A years. All men over 40 so enlisted would be assigned to n-combatant service. In a letter to Speaker Clark asking that the bill be pushed, Secretary Baker said:
 "Every man above the age of 40 who is enlisted in -cOmbatant branches of the service will make ava.ilable for duty with line troops a man within the prescribed age limit for all trops
 Many men whose long experience as mechanics and artisans will make them particularly valuable to the various corps and departments, may be thus secured instead of younger men without such experience and the efficiency of the staff corps and the department thus will be increas- ed"
 lucIe dlC t,coO,oVO HiCh between the ages of 40 and B and many thousands of them already have attested their desire to serve by bombarding the department with applications. While the great major ity of the men in this class undOubt- edly will be restrained from enlist ing by family and business ties the number at liberty to join the colors is expected to be more than suffi- cient to meet the purpose in view.
 Official estimates are that mod ern army to be maintained as an ef- ficient unit must have between 40 and 45 percent of it's actual strength on duty behind the fighting zone. This means that of the first 1,0O0,O ,O00 men sent to France 100000 serve along the lines of communication, in hospitals or at various headquarters and debarkation bases.

DR. ]; W. SCALES 10 LEAVE SOON
 ID ENTER ARMY
Dr. Grace Tankersley Will Return to Take Charge
 of His Practice.

Dr. J. w. Scales, who volunteered when the army issued a call for phy- sicans, specialists and surge ons, and was given the commission of captain several mcnths age, has been ordered to report to Camp Thompson at Louis vile, Ky, and will leave as soon as Dr. Grace Tankersley, who has been practicing in Philadelphia, Pa, re~ turns to take charge of his office here.
 Dr, Tankersley and Dr. Scales will form partnership and Dr. Tanker sley will be left in full charge of the practice, which is enc of the largest in this section.
 Dr. Tankersley is the daughter of MT. and Mrs. w. z. Tankersley of 1901 Olive street, and for many years we'll known residents of Pine Bluff. She was graduated from the Pine Bluff High school in 1910. She then studied year at Galloway college, Searcy, but the following year began the study of medicine in the medical department of the University cf Ark ansas at Little Rock. Later she enter ed the Woman's Medical college at Philadelphia, one of the best known and most modern schools in the Uni ted States for the study of medicines by women.
 Dr. TankersIey was graduated in 1916 with honors and given the degree of M. D. The following year she spent an intern in of the largest hospitals in Philadelphia which gave her varied experience in all de grees of surgery and general practice. The past year she has spent in spec ializing in eye, ear, nose and throat diseases with a firm of eminent specialists in Philadelphia.
 The summer recesses of her school she spent in Bluff and assist ed Captain Scales in his practice. It was thru their association in this manner that Captain Scales, seeing her ability, proposed partnership when she fnshed her course. Upon hls notification of call to the army service he immediately wired her to return and she will arrive Sunday afternoon.
 Dr. Tankersley several months ago passed the state medical board ex- animation in Pennsylvania, which re ciprocates with Arkansas, and she is licensed to practice in both state.
 For years Captain Scales has been specializing in eye, ear, nose and threat in Pine Bluff and Southeastern Arkansas and is one of the best known specialists in this section: His action in taking Dr. Tankersley in al full partnership and leaving her in full charge is of his confidence of her ability.

TWenty-Nine Vessels Delivered This Month Ready for Sea-Daily Ay- craze Nomp1 tinn Was
 1o.1os Tons.

> Washington, May 24.-With the showing of the first three weeks of ficials believe that the output for the
 month together with the ships built in the yards of the allies again will exceed the tonnage lost In the race with the submarines it begins to ap- pear that the lead taken by the allies in April as revealed in Premier Lloyd Georges speech today at Edinburgh, is certain to be increas- ed
 Only some unforeseen interruption can retard the output of hulls. Short ages of materials are being over come. Lack of engines and boilers, apparently will be remedied by the survey of manufacturing resources being made at Chicago. It is hoped also that the American output O. ships in May will set a new worlds record. Of the 29 vessels delivered ready for sea q have been requis- toned on the stocks and five were built on contract.
 The average daily output of com pleted ships has been 75.759 tons. The shortage of tank steamers, par ticularly for use iE Mexican trade. was the subject of a conference to- day between Chairman Hurley and fuel administration officials. Con- crete tankers may be the solution O. the problem. Steel tankers are being built but will require seven or eight months for completion while the 16 concrete tank steamers for which contracts have been let should be turned out in much les time
