Germans Treated
u. S. Men Mercifully

Washington, Sept. 27.-While the
German government failed to hive
up to agreements, concerning hous-
ing and care Of American war pri-
soners, their treatment was merciful
on the whole, and there was no sys-
tematic abuse, according to state
ment by Carl P. bennett, of Boston,
Red Cross commissioner for prison
ers' welfare during the war.
I'VE always had in America, more
German agents in detention camps
than the total of all American pri-
soners in Germany" Mr.. bennett
says in the summary made public by
the Red Cross. Toward the end of
the war, special agreement was
made between the United States and
Germany for treatment of prisoners
but did not become effective because
OF the armistice.

AUTO SHOW HERE
EARLY IN YEAR
BEING PLANNED
Dealers Association Proposes
New Step in Making City
Distributing Center.

If plans now under contemplation
by the Pine Bluff Auto and Accessory
Dealers association materialize, Pine
Bluff will have its first automobile
show in March of the coming year. A
meeting Of the association will be
held at noon Monday at the Hotel
Pines, and at this time, plans for such
a show will be discussed further.
Plans also for affiliating the local
association with the state and nation
al association will probably be made
The plan to inaugurate an automo-
bile show here next year is in fur
therance of the plan of the auto deal
ers to make Pine Bluff the distribute
ing point and the real automobile CEN
ter of Southeast Arkansas. Only
members of the association. one of
the members stated yesterday, will be
allowed to take part in the show,
since it is to be given under the
auspices of the association.
Other tentative plans include the
entertainment of the proprietors of
sub-dealers agencies, an entertain
ment for the national officers who
are likely to be here. and other fea-
lures. 1t is planned to have the show
in March and probably before the
annual Little Rock auto show which
is held in that month. 1t was point
ed out yesterday by Walter H. Adams
secretary of the local association, that
most Of the auto dealers here have
agencies in the Is or 20 counties en-
braced in what is known as the South
east Arkansas district and Pine Bluff
is the logical automobile center Of this
district. Plans to make Pine Bluff
a distributing point for automobiles
also included making this city a
center for accessories, and it is said
that two wholesale accessory houses
are contemplating locating here.
Members of the association believe
the automobile industry in Pine Bluff
is in it's infancy. and that the future
will see remarkable growth in this
business. A committee will be an
pointed at the meeting Monday to
work out details of the plan for the
automobile show.

Seeking Quarrel, Saws Premier.

London, Sept 27.-"The precipi-
fancy of this action gives the i'm
preston of a deliberate and matured
intention on the part Of some indi-
viduals to seek quarrel at any
cost" said Premier Lloyd George in
a statement today on the nation
wide railway strike.
Tonight great mass meeting of
railway men was held in Albert
hall, at which James Henry Thomas
secretary of the national union of
railway men-after the audience for
an hour had sung "The Red Flag
delivered a heated speech of cen
sure against the government, and
declared that trouble was brewing
which might lead to bloodshed.
Both Thomas and C. T. Cramp
president of the union, who had pre-
ceded him.. asserted that the men
were firmly behind the headers in
this great crisis.
President Cramp denounced the
government statement regarding the
purpose Of the strike as "deliber-
ate lie" 1t was not the public with
whom the strikers were at war, he
declared; it was the people who were
for the moment in the position of
directino the affairs Of the country
All "the powers of He'll, the press
platform and perhaps the pulpit"
would be invoked against the strik-
ers, said President Cramp, but If
thew remained solid, they would be
victorious.
