Dear Sir-The United States gov
eminent desires to purchase a plot of
ground, not less than 200 acres nor
more than 1000 acres, on which to es-
tablish permanent quarters and camp
! ing facilities, as point for the mobili-
cation of a volunteer army, that might
be raised in Arkansas in case of war.
This camp might be used annually by
/ the Arkansas state militia, if a salts
factory rifle range could be establish
ed thereon. The ground must be well
drained, have good water, and accessi-
BILE to a railroad.
Conway has been regarded very ia
vorably for the place. General Green
of the State Guard, Lieutenant Lewis
of the regular army, and Major Hors-
fal will meet in Conway Monday, No
vember 10, with view of seeking out
a desirable location. What can you
find to recommend?
Please take the matter up with your
real estate people and have something
to show. Personally, l believe this is
Ia fine opportunity to land something
for Conway. If Conway is not inter
ested, please telephone me at my home,

then notify the committee not to come.
Very truly yours,
O. d. LONGSTRETH,

TELLS RED CROSS
HOW TO PREVENT
FAM|NES IN CHINA
c. D. Jameson, in Report,
Urges Construction of
Dams to End Floods.

Plans for building and repairing the
dlkes and dams in the famine stricken
districts Of China to prevent recur-
renee Of the floods which have devas-
tated the crops and brought starvation
to millions. are being made by the
American Red Cross, through It's agent,
c. d. Jameson. Mr.. Jameson, who Is
an expert engineer, was sent TO China
six months ago to Inspect the famine
district and report on the possibility
of Hood prevention in the Hwai valley.
In his report, which was made public
today, Is contained the outline of the
project, to the completion OF which will
be devoted the funds raised by the
Red Cross.
The sun OF $1,000 ives cablcd by the
society to the central famine relief
committee today and will be used in
the employment of residents OF the dts
trict to do the work.
To Remedy Evil.
Il have been on a reconnaissance
through the Anhui and kiangsu flood
regions with the Object of Ptudring

floods done away with,". SAYS Mr.
Jam ,son.
I'm North Anhui and North Kiangsu
there is any quantity Of work to be
done In repairing the dikes and roads
This work would feed all the famine
sufferers throughout that part OF the
country. and would not affect the gen.
eral scheme Of draining the whole re-
gion. but every dollar would be we'll
spent. The government has spent no
money in such repairs, and everything
is Roins to ruin.
"As to the necessity Of the work In
the famine region. / do not think you
have any idea Of the condition OF the
people in that district-of the utter
wretchedness. In the l5c miles tray

and met less than fifty wheelbarrows

Schools Closed.
1.-THE schools throughout that section
are all closed and the children are get
ting no education. They are simply be-
coming beggars, with no object in life,
and those strong enough are beginning
to rob. In one place thirty men were
executed for robbery within three
weeks. The magistrates have military
power and about 500 soldiers each, so
they can execute their own criminals.
There is not single city or village
in, that region where work could not Be
done. Small canals could be dug; the
walls Of the cities, which are falling,
could be repaired: bridges could be re-
built, and the upper reaches Of the
river could be cleaned out. There is
work for 10000 persons"
The District OF Columbia board of
the American Red Cross has issued an
appeal for aid for the famine stricken
district, and requests that subscriptions
be sent to Commissioner Rudolph,
president of the board, or Howard S.
