Artnur Benson Returns to Cha leau lhierry and Belleau Wood

enur Benson of East Berlin. q o'iler heutenant overseas with the
 D. army, recently returned from l'ila' france and Switzerland where he has been spending the past several weeks on a business trin Tn an interview MT. Benson recounted .'iS impressions Of existing conditions m Europe today compared with those turing war time. Practically all re- construction work in France is being undertaken by American labor and capital MT. Beson stated, the French ' men as Q whole being very lax about reconstruction work. They prefer to return to the gay Bohemian life of the cabaret and the theater of before tne war times, he said. The theater &,hd the cabaret are running twenty Tour hours a day to make up for time lost during the war. The coal situa- ton which affects the United States does not seem to bother the French ran in the least. The only notice

plaInlng the cause of his detention, MT. Benson said that the Frech franc IS worth IT times aS much in SWitz- erland as it is in France due to it's silver content and it has become a practice among the F'renchnlen to transfer their francs to Switzerland d to obtain the doubled value. The re- suit is that Switzerland has nearly all the French silver, despite the efforts Of the French auth critics to stop it No one can carry more than 10 francs Tn silver into Switzerland without be- ing arrested and heavily fined MT. Benson added that in Paris it is the custom to give change in postage stamps instead of silver, but one can- not make purchases with stamps If person does not want to be carrying g a pocketful of postage stamps it is wise to pay the exact price of an ar ticle. This is only one of the ways the French government i. trying to racuperate it's silver supply.
 While in France Mr. Benson visited the Am erican Peace Commission at the Hotel Crillion in Paris. He also saw the Peace Palace at Versailles. He was present when the Italian del- egates left for Italy.
 England is far behind France on her food supply and the quality of it's food, said MT. Benson. There seemed to be considerable confusion in Lon don particularly. All the hotels are congested and very little is being done to alleviate the conditions.
 England is Not Gay.
 England had nothing but rain and fog during his sojourn there. There is none of the gaiety in England that exists in France, pail seeming to hang over the cOutry.
 Switzerland is a real live place MT. Benson found, the country boom ing with business just like the United States and with just the same labor troubles. Labor is demanding high wa ges, but there is all kinds of work. Swiss money has not suffered from the war, he added, and the country as

from the top of a Austrian shell. Another was an ink well made from a small German shell. He also has an ash tray made of a German officers belt buckle with the inscription "Gott Nit Uns,'' supported by three steel bullets.
 f The cities 1eNelled by the war are slowly building up, MT Benson said, but the slowness of the F'renchmen in reconstruction precents rapid progress. If it were not for American initiative and money, it wonld be years before the cities would ever be rebuilt MT. Benso1 thinks. There is every oppor -tunity for Americans to become wealthy in France now, as reconstruc- ton work is being left to the Ameri cans for the most part, giving abund- ant opportunity to any American with the. usual pep according to Mr. Ben- son. Business, however, is at stand still all over France due 10 the low value Of the franc.
 Visits Local Boys Graves. . < While at Belleau Wood MT. Benson saw the graves of a number of Com pany I and E men from New Britain. He rem memb bered the name of Private Earl Medley of Pla!nville particularly. There are also a number of Polish soldiers from Company l and E bur jed at Belleau Wood, he said
 MT. Benson and an Englshman were arrested at Belgrade which is in France near the Swiss border line by the French police under suspicion of carrying silver into Switzerland. They were detained for several hours until their innocence was established. Ex-

 Visits Old Batticficlds.
 Mr. Benson visited Chateau Thierry, Solssons, Rheims. Belleau Wood and other notable war scenes. There are @ large number of German prisoners, still held by the French, who have been put at work cleaning up the refuse and debris Of the war about Chateau Thierry and Soissons. Little is being done by them, however, in this respect. Rather, they are mak- ing souvenirs out of exploded shells, belt buckles and other articles still to be found on the, former battletields. finding a ready market among the tourists. The prisoners are permitted to do this by the French guards who split with the prisoners on the sale of the souvenirs. Both the guards and the prisoners are getting wealthy on the scheme. The reconstruction work and cleaning up about the cities will never be accomplished, according to MT. Benson until the government steps in and puts a stop to this pra,c- tice on the part of the guards and prisoners.

WOUNDED COLONEL RE-ENLISTS AS BUCK
 PRIVATE; HERO

London, Dec. 12.-(Correspondenca of The Associated Press. )-The story of 2 colonel of Australian infantry who was wounded in the Gallipoll campaign and sent back to Australia but who concealed his rank and re-en~ listed as a private to serve with the Australians in France has added to the esteem in which Australians are held in London. Colonel Charles Mel yille Macnakhten, the hero of the story is hailed as man of gallantry and grit. u.
 He was the son of Sir Melville Macnaghten, chief of the criminal in-- vestigation department of Scotland Yard, says the Daily Mail, and was practicing law in Australia when the war began. He was the major i'll com mand of the first brigade which land ed at Anzac Cove on Gallipoli penln1- sula. Within two days he was wound- ed three times. After recovery in England he returned to Gallipoli and led his battalion in their immortal charge at Lone Pine. ,.,
 After the evacuation of Gallipoli he served for time in Egypt and was sent from there to England suffering
 from wounds and fever. Surgeans

 construction invariably means pros perity. History is the proof of the statement. Railroad building, tele- phone construction. telegraph, eX press. manufacturing, agriculture- all received an enormous impetus di- rectly following the civil war
 Now-the immediate present.--is the time for Pine Bluff to become the city which it's natural resources war rant. This is the only city in the state south of Little Rock. Better farming land can be found nowhere in the South Pine Bluff can be the industrial center for the whole southern section of the state. But 1t requires an intelligent application of the principles of sound business. There must be good roads, there must be homes and houses, there must be everything that will attract farming products, business interests and plea sure interests. Business as usual was a propaganda cry during the war, but business as sal is not a propaganda cry now. The war is over. Business not as usual, but business far greater than usual must be the cry'

SH0RTAGF 0F, RENT HOUSES
 STILL ACuTf
Scores of People Seek Rent Houses in Vain Every
 Day.

That the shortage of renting houses is becoming more acute, rather than being alleviated is evident by the statements of several prominent real estate men. "TheIe are from three to six people who call here every day. one real estate dealer said, i've can not ake care of them. The need for rent houses seems to grow every day" A.
 When asked the solution of this problem. another real estate man stated that the only solution seemed to be an era of house building.
 One reason of the house shortage was statel by one business man as being due to the fact that when tho crops burned up in various parts oi the country, many farmers came to Pine Bluff to work in the industrial plants, and that these people would return in the early spring, and that then the shortage of rent houses would be lessened.
 This seems, on the face of it, a plausible solution. Further investi- gation, however, will show that the | shortage is not due to this fact. It is quite true that number of the farmers who came to Pine Fluff will return to their farms in the. spring. Yet, as one real estate man brought out yesterday, many of these people rent house, and then rent out two rooms or more, and there twill be just as much demand for rent houses when they go back to their homes in the country as there is now" he fin- ished That the shortage is due to an in- crease in the population of the city, is the truest of conclusions. Pine Bluff is looking up industrially, indf- viduals are made and individuals are l broken It is the same with cities for the psychology of a city is bui the psychology of one person, multi l piled many~times Pine Bluff is fac
 ing the dawn of new opportunities and Pine Bluff will either be a city 1 or remain a town.
 1 It is the time to attract peoples tC this city. If they cannot find places to domicile their famiiies-the ans
 wer is too obvious: they will ga
 where they can be domiciled. This
 influx of population is not bubble
 Builders will not be left high and dry with rent property on their hands
 Where there are houses for rent,

London, Dec. 2O.-(Correspondence of The Associated Press. )-The prob lem of how young stuoents are to pick up the lost years of war; after having served with the colors, so that they shall not suffer for having obey ed the call of duty, is, being solved by universities, colleges, p, ..fessfonal in- ,stitutions and the Appointments Branch of the Ministry of Labor, in different ways. N
 The University of London is allow ing such students to pass simple ex- animation of a personal character in- stead of matriculation, while the in- terval between the intermediate ex- aminations and the prescribed cours- es of study will be shortened. "War degrees" will, also be granted to stud- ents who joined the forces just before their final examination in a faculty other than medicine. These degrees will be placed on a, special list with the word (War) after the short title M. A. B. A. or others.

ERA 0F EARLY CONSTRUCTION
 NECESSARY
Unemployment Is Result When Builders Wait; likeness Economic
 Waste.

The announcement was made Friday that plans for remOdeling the drug store and warehouse of w. l. Dewoody, an Barraque and Pine street, were in the hands of the ar chitect, and that actual construction will begin about Marfch l.
 Construction work is one of the things which Secretary of War Baker is urging as means TOT the transl- tion from a war basis to a peace ba- sis.3 There is unemployment in many states, and unemployment seems to be growing. Idle men and idle equip ment means an economic waste. The surest way to stop this economic waste, and to prevent unemployment, situation which means internal dis ruptions, is to begin campaign of building.
 Many people are planning public or private construction work, but many of these same people are waiting to do their building until such time as they think that labor. or material might be cheaper. The longer the wait, the greater will become the un- employment The greater the linem- ployment, the more economic waste the less circulation of money, the less prosperity-and so on until it comes right back home to the proposed builder
 There seems to be shortage of renting houses. There is no short age of labor or materials. The pro- posed construction work by Dewoody may be but the start of an era of a huilding industry in Pine Bluff It is hoped certainly, those planning to build, will do So at once rather than wait until it is too late-until there is unemployment, chaos, hard times, and money shortage. =.
