INCREASE THE CAPACITY OF
 ERE EBRIDGE.

That the need of better highways for Pine Bluff to care for the immense traffic which comes to this place, the natural market of large territory is an admitted fact. The constituted authorities and business interest are alive to this fact, as evidence by the appointment of committee by Mayor Bloom to act with Senator Caldwell and others to settle upon some plan for increasing the efficiency of the Free Bridge road. This is one of the most important highways leading in to Pine Bluff. This committee will render a report tomorrow, after hav- ing giving the matter considerable study.
 Several plans have been suggested, the most feasible and efficient will doubtless be that which will be adopt ed. Neither of the plans, as the Graphic is informed, takes into con- sideration the matter of increased facility of the bridge itself. With a reasonable expenditure the bridge can be made to accommodate a larger vol ume of traffic than that which is now being served.
 When the Free Bridge was erected it was the intention for railroad to use a portion of it's surface for q right of way across the river. This idea is no longer possibility, as there are no roads pointing this way at present. To induce some railroad to come this way this bridge was pro- posed to be utilized, and the centre part was reserved for the right of way. This centre section is not being used at present, and is therefore d waste valuable space on this cours- way. Travel across this bridge is more or less congested at all times. It is often an automobile comes up be- hind farm wagon, and no matter what the hurry, the auto has to trail along behind the wagon or other ve- hicle of slow locomotion, until across the bridge.
 This could be remedied, as stated above by a reasonable expenditure The centre section could be put i'll . finished state and reserved for the use of horse propelled vehicles, while the sides could be used only for auto mobiles. Such an arrangement woulo double the traffic capacity of tho bridge, and thereby afford better ac commodation to all concerned.
 It is admitted that the road ap
 preaching the bridge on either sid'
 of the river is too narrow to accom-
 modate the travel. This feature vii doubtless be the first consideration
 of those having the matter under in |vestigation, but the Graphic believes that the suggestion of increasing tn |, capacity of the bridge is also worth. of consideration.

T. )S yOIAUGIV!

She was working girl.
 Girls work for different reasons Some girls work because they enjoy the novelty and small excitement which working down town" affords; others work because they may provide for themselves certain little lux uries which otherwise might not be forthcoming. But there are other girls, who work because the money which they make is needed to help meet the ever present grocer, and butcher, and clothing bills.
 We'll, she was working girl. And this is the story of working girl with five dollars. A member of one of the committees for the Armenian reliaf approached and handed her a pledge card. She took it, signed on the dotted line, and then in the space where it says, "how much?" she wrote in firmly, Hive dollars"
 T wanted to go to Little and hear Mccormack" she said wistfully, "and need a new pair of shoes too, but, " she added whimsically, "I reckon those poor kids over there need some. thing to eat"
 The reporter went back to the lit- tered sanctum and sat down on pile of copy paper. and told the guy who knows how to spell all the names and everything, all about it. The editor is kindly bird. But he laughed.
 "It's not funny" he said, tits just so pathetic that it's ludicrous."
 The reporter couldn't get it at first Then he saw the light.
 "Id like to make human interest story of that" he said.
 Human interest! Write a humor- ous story about it" was the answer.
 And he did.
 That five dollars wasn't much. IT fact, there are many who wouldn'' miss many times five dollars should they be separated from it. Twas ; just measley little five bucks!
 But somehow, that five meant ev erything to that kid. It meant tril to Little Rock to hear the Prince O Singers, and relief from the monoton! of her job; it meant a new pair O shoes; it meant feeding poor starv ing-oh, well, it just meant every thing to her.
 But she reckoned those poor kid needed something to eat, and she gav her puny little five bucks to them.
 Just for devilment, the reporter who is privileged to do anything h can get by with, took look at som oi the pledge cards. The signers 0 some of those cards lead off wit Soup when they start to eat, and afte hopping up with four or five courses finish with cigars and coffee in tn drawing room. And their gasolin bill is rivaled only by the price ( daughters new hat.
 And now, here comes the funn part.
 Some of those birds thought the were paying for a shave or buying pnll tax.
 She was a working girl, and sl wanted to go to Little Rock, and sl needed new pair. sf shoes-"but
 rscls0n those poor kids over there nee selaetAing to eat."

over 10 miles,"
Acts Of heroism were too numerous
to mention at this time Every man
did his duty unf1inchingly. Major
Southland of Bangor, wounded
through the throat by a machine
gun bullet. with his ear torn by
shrapnel. continued to lead his men
until forced to retire for medical aid.
He left weeping. with the statement
that his boys would be all shot I'D
and he would not be there to care for
them. The 26th Division, unsupport-
ed. pushed on to Epieds and Trugny
which they also reduced. The latter
town was taken by the Maine boys.
but Only after repeated and costly at
tacks. as the place was full Of ma
chine guns and resisted to the death.
The division then pushed on to Fare
en-Tardenois where it was relieved
by the Rainbow Division. In this
drive. as we'll as in the actions on
the foul sector, great credit is due
the artillery men of the division for
the magnificent ability. courage, and
effectiveness with which they hand
led the guns both light and heavy.
Their splendid work made the deeds
Of the infantrymen possible and
greatly reduced the number of cas-
ualties.
The boys from Maine and from Au-
gusta lead the van in the great drive
that later resulted in the reduction of
the Marine salient. and the great Ger
man retreat, which is still under way.
They formed the spear head of the
great thrust. They were picked for
an important service in a critical sec
tor, and they justified the confidence
OF their superiors. They took what
they went after. Every objective
was attained. Raw hell could not
stop them. Not a foot Of ground was
lost. Not a prisoner taken from
their number. They delivered the
goods. and scorned to reckon the
price. No Drawer men, no better
soldiers stand on the soil of France
today. than our Maine boys in the
103d.

enough for them. Shot 20 rcces on
the field of valor. as they rested and
recruited, it may be that their
thoughts at times harked back to
their early teachers in the arts of
war, the 163d French Regiment, that
in October. 1917. in the village of Lif-
fold lie Grande, was resting and re-
cruiting for the 3Oth time.
In all probability the rest period is
now over. and this Yankee Division
of ours is today maintaining it's
glorious traditions on some impor-
tant part of the flaming battle line
that extends from the North Sea to
Lorraine.
God bring them home. those boys:-
ah. they who bear
The dreadful shock. they shall re-
turn some day
With newborn souls. and they shall
ever wear
4 loftier mien than when they went
away.
But they who fall, knights Of the liv-
ing Cod
Who meet the dawn upon a foreign
shore.
They shall come back from Frances
Popped sod
To be our boys, unchanged. for
evermore."
