EXPANSION WHICH WILL COST $350,0OO ON POWER PROJECT S80,O00 Line From England to Stuttgart Under
 Way ENGLAND-STUTTGART
 LINE ALSO BEGUN Arkansas Light and Power Co.,, Soon to Use Power From Picric
 Plant in the Rice
 Fields

Improvements in the Lonoke and Stuttgart rice fields, to aggregate in cost S350,000, are already under way and will be completed by June 1, of ficials of the Arkansas Light and Power company, which serves the two fields with power, announced yester- day.
 The improvements will bring the cost of new work by this company in this immediate section to S1 100000 since the first of the year.
 It also was announced that trans mission line from the new power plant, recently a part of the picric acid plant at Picron, near Little Rock, which will be run to England. will enable the company to furnish power from this plant to both the Lonoke and Stuttgart fields, consid- erably relieving the load at Pine Bluff, which now supplies these two fields.
 The work is under way at several points under the direction of William Crooks the company's chief engi- neer.
 The improvements briefly include a transmission line from England to Stuttgart which will cost about ESQ., GOO. This line will be 24 miles in lencth and will have a carrying ca pacity of 33,OOO volts. A line is be- ing built from the picric acid plant to the Dixie mill in North Little Rock, thence to England where it will connect with this line.
 Work also is under way or ISO miles of distribution { lines in the Stuttgart and Lonoke fields. These lines will carry 6.000 to 12,OOO volts In this same section the work of in- stalling 80 new rice wells is under way, each of these entailing a con siderable expenditure on motors, ma chinery and equipment.
 The company is enlarging two sub- stations in this section at a cost of about $75.0OO Each of these which when completed will cover space of 120 foot square, will have a ca pacity of Xiv. 5000.
 Two big construction gangs are al work on these new projects with g payroll running to $1,2OOs weekly One of these gangs is near Dewitt where lines are being built to sup ply Dewitt with Pine Bluff power via Stuttgart Another gang is on work near. Stuttgart. A third soon is to be put to work extending the line from the picric power plant tc the Dixie mills and thence to Pine Bluff and England. This piece of construction requires a 2.7OO-foot span of the river near Little Rock Crooks said.

SIMS TELLS STORY 0F SUMMER ANXIETY OVER SUBS RAIDS Both London and Washington Were Badly Worried in
 1918 ADMIRAL DECLARES DANIELS INACCURATE Folorn Hope of Germans to Sink an American Convoy, is Revealed
 -Denies His Job

Washington. March 15.--A hther- to unpublished story of wartime anxiety in London and Washington lest German battle cruisers attempt a forlorn hope raid against American transports was disclosed to the sen ate Investigating committee by Rear Admiral Sims. Messages eXchang- ed by Admiral Benson, chief of op- crations, and Admiral Sims in July, 1918, were presented by the latter to correct implications" which, he said, Secretary Daniels had made to the committee that General plans and policies were none of my busi- ness.'
 Included in plans formed by the navy department to meet such rec concentrations and rejected by Ad- miral Sims as impractical" was q proposal to call on Japan for a bat tie cruiser division to serve with the American Atlantic fleet.
 In his first statement to the com mittee when the present investiga- complaints he had to make against the navy department were confined largely to the first six or eight InpllHS Ol llc wal. w Heil Ile cil- tered today upon his discussion of events that occurred in the summer of 1918, he said he did so because MT. Daniels in a statement to the committee, had implied that Admiral Sims post in London was ''purely a local one"
 "The statement was inaccurate" |" Admiral Sims said.
 In the spring of 1918. he said, when the submarine menace had been over come. naval officials in London be- came apprehensive that the Germans might, as last venture, send out battle cruisers in the hope of de- stroying an American convoy. That this apprehension was felt also at the navy department, he said, was demonstrated by the following cable gram from Admiral Benson:
 BensOn's Message.
 "As last hope German battle cruis- CTS may be sent out to completely destroy one of our large conveys. We depend upon you to gain and give information on this point and grand fleet to take necessary action until United States could act.'
 In reply Admiral Sims said, he cabled that everything possible would be done to intercept reconnoitering German cruisers, but that there could not be any guarantee that ene- my battle cruisers would not reach the open Atlantic undetected. He

STATUS OF AMERICAN SOLDIERS ON RHINE
 IS MUCH IN DOUBT
They, Alone, Are There Un- der the Conditions of
 the Armistice
WASHINGTON AWAITS
 WORD FROM GEN. ALLEN
Expect Capital Soon to be Cleared, of Wire Entanglements-Re of Terms on Which They
 Will Agree

Washington, March 15.-Lack:ne reports tonight from Major Genera Henry T. Allen at Coblenz as .e military aspects of the involyea situation in Germany. government ad wees today threw little light ol the political status there and none on possible allied military measures War department officials had hoped that General Allen report on the conference of allied commanders on the Rhine with Marshal Foch, but no such message had come when the de partment closed.
 The state department had an off cIal report of general strike in Hamburg with the military in control and no disorders. The message did not show when it was filed, however Other advices were largely sum- mares of press accounts from Ger many or from cities near the Ger man border
 There was much speculative dis cusslon agan in war and state de- partment circles today as to the status of General Aliens troops on the Rhine in view of the fact that the American forces alone are there un- der armistice conditions Disagree ment was expressed as to whether they would be under the orders of Marshal Foch IS supreme commander
 Preserve Status.
 Some war department officials thought that technically the mar shal's authority might still extend to General Aliens command. Other of flcials, however held that the treaty of Versailles had abrogated the French leaders authority, at least so far as the Americans were con cerned.
 In any case, Secretary Bakers view appeared to render the question pure ly an academic one. He said General Allen was vested with authority to preserve order in his area and tha, any other action contemplated in volving his forces would have tc await specific approval from Wash ington.
 Military action by any of the oc. cupying forces, it pointed out, would be contingent more upon that of the revolutionary change in Germany than upon Germany itself. The change of government would be o1 only passing interest to the com. manders, unless it portended de. parture from German engagements Eunder the treaty of Versailles and professions of the former democratic government to the allies.
 It is we'll understood, therefore that for the present at least, General Allen will confine himself strictly to maintenance of the status quots in the Coblenz sector so far as this relates to the maintenance of order This could be done, it is thought without interference with any poll tical changes which the German population may seek to make.

Wilson is Blamed
 for the State of
 Anarchy in Mexico

Chicago, March 15.-President Wilson's policy in Mexico is respon- sible for anarchy, which has exist ed in Mexico for years," and was the direct cause of the resignation of Robert Lansing as secretary of state, Henry Lane Wilson, former ambass- ador to Mexico, declared in an ad- dress before the Agate club here to- day.
 President Diaz and Huerta were working to stabilize Mexico through eraddual evolution, he said, but the Madero revolution busted the former and President Wilson's refusal to recognize him denied Huerta a chance to prove his plans.
 "It is an error to even suppose that Mexicans have struggled for lib erty," he added. "Mexicans inter- pret liberty as license, and conse- auently the struggle has always been for loot. Mexico has never had what we call political election. Every government has been shot into and out of office"
