STUDENTS PLEDGE
SUPPORT IN RALLY
FOR BENTON GAME
Pine Bluff Eleven Will Go Into
First Local Game With
Strong Team.

No High school football team OF
the state, probably, will have the
backing of the student body this fall
that the Pine Pine High school will
have. This statement is based on q
mass meeting of the student body held
yesterday at the high school, and at
which the support Of the entire stud
ent body, practically. was pledged, and
at which more than 400 tickets to the
game Saturday with Benton High
were sold And the tickets thus sold
does not indicate the enirey of the
attendance of students. for here are
many who will attend the game who
were. at tina particular time yesterday,
unable to invest in ticket.
The rally was held at the direction
of PRINCIPAL J R. Allen and Coach l..
T. Bassett, and fervent speeches. ye!ls
ard SONGS continued fer an hour.
One Of the stiffest workouts of the
season was held yesterday afternoon.
Quarterback Collins Of the varsity
drove his team I'D and down the field
numerically. and at the end of the
period of signal work. several new
plans which are expected to be un-
corked in the game Saturday had been
perfected. Following the signal drll's
the varsity and the scrubs scrimmae-
ed for about 20 swift minutes. and in
that time, the varsity pushed the
hall across the scrubs ooal five times.
The work Of the backfield showed an
Improvement yesterday. The backs
showed more punch in hitting the
line, while the linemen savagely tore
great holes in the scrubs line.
Coach Bassett is also devoting a
considerable portion of his attention
to the second team, and especially to
the scrubs backfield. He has several
fast men whom he expects to develop
into first class backs. These men will
probably be given a chance in the
game Saturday.
While not expecting to be defeated
i Coach Bassett is aware that Benton,
, the team to come here tomorrow.
has strong lineup, and he is not
taking any chances on losing this
game Consequently the work this
week had been hard. and the team is
! in much better condition than when
they met the Henderson Brown team
at Arkadelphia last week.

Japs Ordered to
Aid. u. S. Soldiers
On Siberian Road

Toxic, Oct. 9.-Orders have been
issued by General OF, commanding
japanese forces in eastern Siberia,
directing his men to cooperate eff
fectively with the American authori
ties in the operation of the trans ST.
berian railroad. This is the result
of strong representations by the Uni
ted States to the Japanese govern
ment claiming that in sections guard
ed by Japanese troops the lives and
property of Americans have not been
adequately protected. In the event
that cooperation by japanese troops
could not be secured, it is said, the
note limited American forces would
be withdrawn from Siberia and the
reason for the step would be made
public at Washington.
Reports state the American note
was very frank in discussing the
situation in Siberia and to have ex-
pressed the fear, by inference, that
the presence Of Japanese there might
be open for criticism as being oppos-
ed to the 'new idea of international
cooperation" It is understood a
copy of the note of the Washington
government which was delivered in
September has been forwarded to
Great Britain and France and proba-
bly, Italy and China.
Japanese officials seemed inclined
to minimize the gravity of the situa-
ton and declare they have not been
supporting General Semenoff. anti
Rolsheviki leader, whose activities
have considered concern in allied
circles. They are said to express be-
lief that the question is open to early
! and amicable adjustment.
