ON U.S. MARINES
Officials of Corps and Navy
Intimate Statements Due

pared statement which shows that

Belleau Wood, which was the turn
ing point in the last German Often
sive. practically was a part of the
Chateau-Thierry action.
Belleau Wood, which has been
renamed the Wood of the Marines,
Is only about three miles from the
more celebrated Chateau -Thierry.
Gen. Barnett says. Belleau Wood
Is a very small place and was only
one of the pivotal points on a long
battle line. or course, IL was in
the Chateau-Thierry sector,
Gen. Barnett pointed out yesterday
that when Gen. Pershing reported the
Marines as in action he referred tc
them as at Chateau-Thierry. although
they were actually at Belleau Wood
Gen. Pershing has sert over many
cablegrams In which he lauded the
brilliant and gallant conduct of the
Marines 'in the Chateau-Thierry sec.
tor" where the fighting probably was
harder than at the particular point
on the battle front called Cheateu-
Thierry.

FATALLY INJURED
IdabeI Youth Died in Two Hours
 After Injury.

Idabel. Dec. 6. - One of the most horrible accidents it has been out duty to report in Idabel occurred Thursday afternoon at the MeCurtain Cotton Oil Company Mill in this city, A young man just entering young manhood by the name of Sid Barnet, while at tempting to put on belt was caught on the coupling. His clothing, ex- cepting one shoe and a shirt sleeve, was torn from his body, both legs and on arm broken, also several of his ribs and an ugly gash in his forehead.
 The father of the young man, s. E. Barnet, good citizen of Duyall, few miles south of Idabel, was notified at once.
 Such accidents are indeed appaul- ing, and the parents of the young man, have the sympathy of our peo- pie in the sad misfortune which has befallen their son. He was carried to the office of pr. l.. H. Hill and medical treatment administered immediately after the accident. but he died two hours later.

Hot Springs, Dec. 6.-The police have high regard for thieves who battered in with sledgehammers the steel sheeting of one of the sides of a small building o1tside the city limits erected by the Hamp Williams Hard ware Company to house high explo- sives. After they had gained entrance to the building the thieves carried off two cases of dynamite. This is the second robbery of this kind the firm has suffered. Several months ago a considerable quantity of dynamite was stolen. The building is of steel and concrete. No clue to the robbery has been obtained. The company has offered a reward for the arrest of the thieves.

ASHD0WN IS EFFECTED
 BY FUEL SHORTAGE
Stores May Remain Open from 9:3O to 5:3O. Except Drug Stores; the
 Frisco Trains Annulled.

In accordance with instructions from the National Fuel Administration Mayor J. E. Locke Monday morning put into effect the regulations as laid down in Ashdown. All retail stores with the exception of drug stores are required to remain closed in the morn ing until 9:3O and to close in the after noon at 5.3O This was observed be- ginning with Monday morning. It is not thought that it will work very great inconvenience as soon as it is commonly known out in the country. Very few people are i'll town before 9:3O anyway. The order has been placed on all over the country to con- serve the coal supply, shortage of which was caused by the coal strike, which is still in progress.
 One passenger train each way on the Frisco has been taken off. The trains remaining is the one going east through Ashdown at 11:4O a. m. and the one going west at 4:30 D. m. The Iron Mountain out of Little Rock has taken off all passenger trains except two each way. The Sunshine Special is one of those taken off, We will get our mail from Little Rock in the at- ternoon. The service on the Cotton Belt lines and other big lines has been cut more than half. No other trains on roads passing through this city have been effected The Kansas City Southern has only two trains each way and it is not likely that one Of them will be taken off unless the sit uation grows much worse. The K. |. s. burns oil and this is one reason why the service has not been hinder ed.

THE REPUBLICANS HATE
 PRESIDENT WILSON
Bitterness of Senators Revealed Dur ing Chief Executives Illness.
 Lack of SpOrtsmanship.

Washington, D, C., Dec. '. = The lar session of the 66th Cngress and the comments upon it, adverse and favorable, from members of both the branches, reveal-or rather accentu- ate that which already eXists-the partisan bitte1nes and deep-seated hatred entertained by those in con trol at the capitol for the chief exc cutive.
 Hatred is strong word-a hard word But no modification seems to fit the occasion. During the presi- dents somewhat long and rather se- we're illness not a word of sympathy or compassion was forthcoming from those of the opposite political faith at the capitol.
 Instead while Mir. Wilson lay help less-so far as refending himself was concerned-at the White House, these men redoubled their efforts to dis
 
 countrymen. Although the first to spread, or lend aid to, rumors that the presidents condition was serious; that he had lost his mind; or that he was completely paralyzed, no eff fort was raised to strengthen their own position or to weaktn Mr Will sons standing
 While protesting to believe that the chief executives condition was much worse than depicted by the daily White House bulletins, these Republ- can senators did not fail to try to take advantage of his handicap.
 The vaunted sportsmanship of the American nation either ceases to ex- ist when it comes to the Senate of the United States, or else these men do not represent the American na- tion
 If the president entertains the same feeling for these men that they exhibit toward him, he has kept it well con cealed even in his message to Con gress, What world of opportunity he would have had, had he cared to st0op to criticise the Congress for what it did-or rather failed to do dnring the extraordinary session re- gently expired.
 Considering these things in a fair light one is forced to the conclusion that the members of the present Con gress do not measure up to the stand ards set by part Congresses or to the nation requires.
