Rubber Factory
 Representative Here

c. o. Webb of the Ardmore- Akron Rubber Tire company arrived in Pine Bluff last night, and will remain here several days in the interest of his company. He will make his head quarters at the Jefferson hotel.
 The Ardmore- Akron company is now operating one factory at Akron, and is completing another at Ard more. MT. Webb expects the Ard more plant to be in operation by March. It was planned to have the plant start by January 1. but MT. Webb believes that the labor short age and coal situation will cause some delay.
 The Ardmore plant, he says. will start with force of 300 employees, and with an initial daily production of 300 castings and 300 tubes. "Peo- pie here are probably familiar with the seven Wood brothers of Fort Smith" he said. One went to Akron to study the business, and pre- pare for this company. The com pany last year paid 40 per cent on an investment of $4OO,OOO, and it will pay 40 per cent this year on the full capitalization of $1,OOO,0OO." MT. Webb says some stock will be offer ed to Pine Bluff investors.

British Given
 Credit for U. $.
 Work of Relief

London, Wednesday, Nov. 26.-The relief work being done in Europe by the United States seems to be mis- understood, or it's extent little realiz- ed in England. The statement of Premier Lloyd George on Thursday last, that the British had already giv- en aid to the government at Vienna amounting to 3,500,00O pounds ster- ling caused much comment among Britons and Americans in London. Technically. the premier was cor rect, but his statement left wrong impression. The sum mentioned by Lloyd George is money loaned to England for relief work in Austria by the American relief administra- tion to avoid certain burdensome fea- lures in United States law regarding the spending of money for relief in enemy countries.
 With the money thus available, os- tensibly from a British source, the Americans sent to Austria American supplies in American ships to- the American distributing organization which placed them in the hands of the people. That MT. Lloyd George should state that England finds t impossible to go on with this huge eX- penditure without the aid of the United States was surprising gener- ally to Americans in England who knew something of the relief going on, and more particularly those who knew of the agreement whereby the relief was made possible.

McAdoo Says Coal Profits Many Times
 Capital Invested

New York, Nov. 27.-Profits sev- eral times in excess of the entire capital invested came back to many coal operators in 1917, William G McAdoo, former secretary of the treasury, declared in a further state ment tonight relative to the coal con- troversy. He asserted those opera tors must now be on velvet" The statement follows:
 "The coal operators assert that l gave out confidential information when I stated that profits of the mine owners in 1917 ranged from 15 to 2,000 per cent on capital stock be- fore deduction of taxes. This was not confidential information. The treasury department may publish statistical matter of this character any time. In fact, information con- cerning this very subject was fur nished by me to the United States senate, in response to a resolution introduced by Senator Borah con- corning profiteering, and was pub lished July 5, 1918. +
 "In this report. the returns of sev- eral hundred coal companies showed profits ranging from 15 to 800 per cent of their invested capital in 1917. The range of profits was higher on capital stock. In, short. many coal operators got back their entire in- vested capital several times out of their profits in 1917 as shown by the reports, and must now be on velvet.

Arkansas Among
 States Where War On HOOkWOrm Waged

New York, Nov. 27.-Growth of the world wide fight against the hookworm, was announced in the annual report of the International Health Board of the Rockefeller Foundation made public here tonight Brazil, Central America, The West Indies,5 the Far East and 12 states in the United States, the report says were enlisted in cooperative work in the campaign last year.
 One of the most significant de- velopments of the past year is re- ported to have been the increased financial participation of health agencies in the anti-hookworm war Among the states added to the list actively engaged against the disease were Arkansas, Louisiana, Tennes- see and Texas.
 Tests of thousands of victims of hookworm, were made last year the report says. Examination of 10,- 900 soldiers at Camp Travis, Texas who had the disease. showed a defi- ciency of 33 per cent in mentality.
 Malaria and yellow fever received marked attention last year, the re- port sets forth. An arrangement was made with the government oi Ecuador, South America, to free that country and the west coast of the con- tinent of yellow fever. Control ot malaria lies within the financial abilities of American communities the report asserts.

JAP DECLARES
 HIS NATION FOE
 OF SOCIAL RIGHT
MatsumOto, Labor Delegate, In. weighs Against the Policies
 of Japan.

Washington, Nov. 27.-U. Masu. mcto, labor delegate from Japan speaking today in the international labcr conference, characterized his government as an "autocracy which is the enemy of social justice"
 Mir. Masumoto was discussing a proposal providing for special con- sideration for countries, including Japan, in which industrial develop ment has been retarded. He charg- ed that the opposition to the appli- cation of the eight hour law in Japan was for the purpose of sup perth gautocracy.
 "Can you believe it when I say that behind this flag" Mir. Masumoto said, pointing to the coiors of Jap an. "there are several millions of toilers unjustly treated under the autocracy which is the enemy of so- cial justice.'
 Japanese workers he declared, are opposed to special treatment "be- cause such special treatment is not needed on account of the condition of the general industrial life, but rath- CT for the protection of autocracy."
 Once more pointing to the Japan csc flag he declared that under it "there is a police regulation whose aim IS to interfere with the organi- zation of labor"
 Describing what he termed the danger of extending to the govern ment of Japan the special treatment. MT. Masumoto said the industrial workers of Japan were mostly wo- men and children and that their lives approached almost that of sla- very.
 "It is no exaggeration to say that these factories from social stand point.' he added, "are in exact parallel to the political extra terri torialitv in Japan in former days"
 E. Kamada, government delegate, replying for Japan, defended the at titude of the committee in reporting his country be classed among the nations with special consideration.

Flare Lights UD Heavens and Thousands See Effects of
 Celestial Visitor.

Chicago, Nov. 27.-Evidence that the great flare visible for few sec onds last night in portions of three states bordering southern Lake Michigan, came from a huge meteor was obtained today.
 A light house attendant at Grand Haven, Mich., described the phe- nomenon as follows:
 What looked like ball of fire appeared to fall in the lake about 15 miles south of me- I thought it to be falling star. In it's rush down. ward at terrific speed, could clear ly hear it whistle. When it seem- ed that it was striking the water, a flash of flame shot into the air and caused a great disturbance"
 Many See Light.
 Detroit, Mich., Nov. 27.-That a meteor of tremendous size plunged into Lake Michigan last night caus- ed earth tremors felt in dozen southern Michigan cities and sending pillar of flame hundreds of feet in to the air which was visible for a IaOluS Ol IuOTc IIdIl OU llllIcS, WdS the theory generally accepted early today in explanation of the earth shock which at first was believed tc have been caused by terrific ex plosion at some industrial plant.
 From reports from various Michi gan, Indiana and Illinois cities where the blinding flare was visible it appeared the center of disturbance was near the lower end of Lax. Michigan. Coast guards at Grant Haven were firm in their assertion that they had witnessed the descent of the heavenly body and credenct was given their story by the absence nearly 12 hours later of reports ot any industrial disaster.
 Residents of Battle Creek, Kala mazoo, South Bend, Grand Haver and other western Michigan citie! fled their homes in panic fearing al earthquake. Houses were shaken the country was illuminated as b. bright suns rays so all-envelop ing it was impossible to tell iron which direction the flare came, tn, earth trembled moment, then came deep prolonged rumbling as of |, terrific explosion.
 The rumblings were heard as -fa1 as South Bend and Laporte, Ind. while the flash of light was sait to have been visible at Chicago.
