 GLOOMY
NEWS FROM SCENE OF FIGHTING IN BELGIUM FINDS THE NATION IN A DEEP SHADOW OF GLOOM AND DETERMINATION TO WIN.

London, Aug. 2f.-11 D. m.-This day of waiting has brought home the realities of war to the British people. Not. before has the whole nation been so deeply moved Englishmen know that most Of the best regiments of their army are fighting a battle on which the future of the empire may depend.
 Many thousands have relatives and friends in the army, they know the death rog probably wid be longer 1 than in the case of any British force since the Crimean war.
 The only information the country has had regarding the battle is con tained in brief official bulletins of a vague character and these have not been cheering. Throughout London the people tonight are in much more serious mood than at any time since they faced the war. TheS- are no scenes of gaiety in the theaters and restaurants and the crowded streets are quiet.
 This does not mean that there is any less determination on the part of Britons -only that the people are be- ginning to realize what this war may cost. On every side are heard dec arations that the country must be prepared for a iong and eXhausting struggle.
 Vtrlflo moi many re3~noobnc cpna from supporters of Lord Roberts cru sade for compulsory military service not a few admit they never realized how small a part the British army counted in a great European struggle.
 Thus far England has felt the war less than any European nation en- gagged, probably Iess than Holland and Switzerland. but now waiting for the issue of the battle and for the lists of killed and wounded the Eng fish people understand all that it means.
 Every boat from Belgium comes crowded with impoverished refugees, who have fled before the German in- yasion. An organization is being formed to care for these people and part of the Prince of Wa.es relief fund. which amounts to more than $7. 800, 900. will he sent to Antwerp for the relief of sufferers who have taken refuge there. Thousands Of Belgians have crossed the French border for asylum and q committee will arrange for their relief.
 England and France apparently propose to care for their smaller ally. who thus far has borne the brunt of the hardships which the war entail.

Boy Scouts Are Called.

New York, Aug. 24.-The national headquarters of the Boy Scouts of America today made public instruc tions by Lieut.. Gen. Robert S. S. Baden-Powell, which he has issued to the thousands of troops of boy scouts in the British empire. The instruc- tions, in the form of a statement un- der the heading, The great war;" are iA part as follows:
 The sudden rush to arms by the great nations of Europe against each other over a comparatively small in. cidcnt in Seryia, shows why fl is so essential to be prepared at all times for what is possible, even though 1t may not be probable.
 "It also shows how little are the peoples of these countries as yet in sufficient mutual sympathy as to render wars impossible between them. This will be so until better understanding is generally establish ed. Let us do what we can through the scout brotherhood to promote this III iiit lutuIGs FOI iflb present we have duties to our country to perform"
 General Baden-Powell says that in this time of national emergency comes the opportunity for the scouts to show that they can be of material service to their country. They will be utilized, says the statement, to take the lighter work of men in order that these might be recessed to the more arduous duties of war Their duties are nonmiitary, and come rather within the scope of police work, carried out under the general direction of county authorities h. cluded are the guarding and patroll- ing of bridges and telegraph lines against damage by spies collecting information as to supplies, carrying out organized relief measures, help ing families of men employed in de- fense duties, or aiding the sick or wounded.

 They offer their lives together in behalf of the government; they should stand on an equal footing after the war.

 mere are many in Hot Springs w1o Will recall his remarkable play that met with such great success at the Audltorlum and the picture drama is every bit as good if not better. for on the stage the men and women were ilmled, while in the pictures they Ut. orally took up the entire "city" in staging this big two-reel special. "A |ent'eman For a Day" is one of the prettiest juvenile features the Star mas shown. It's all about a little boy poor at that-who dreamed he was rlch and was gentleman for only day It was only a dream, but q mothers blessing made the dream seem real at the end. "The Vet eran's Sword" is one of those rare war dramas, told in a reminiscent manner, that grips one and makes them feel that the sword of the old man who went to the front should be honrred and reyered even as the O d man himself. It is novelty and the entire program is we'll worth while.

 The F. F. Spooner attraction is a we'll known combination, one that has played Hot Springs. years ago. and left about the best impression that any company ever played hero has done. Not since the old days of the Klimpt Herne, and the Sol Brau- ing companies, has there been a com pany announced that could deliver the goods like the Spooners. Man lager Head has been for. the past five years trying to get Dad Spoener to play Hot Springs, but he has been unable to do so.

 The opening play will be one that has never been seen here before, en- titled The Vultures of Society,"" a great dramatic offering There is also announced good, high class vaudeville between all acts, which will make a decided hit no doubt.

DOLLAR DINNER
 AT RIVERVIEW
STAGE IS ALL SET FOR FEAST OF VlANDS AND ORATORY
 AT RESORT.
Affair Will Be Sort of a Gridiron Affair and Much Merriment is An ticipated.

The last detail has been looked after, arrangements made for the au- tomobiles to carry the citys business
 men to Riverview park, and the stage set for the merriest, biggest and altogether most important dol
 lar dinner' since this feature became part of the social life of the city's leading business and professional residents, which, as every one knows, will be served this evening under the
 trees of the city's most inviting resort.
 If al that has been rumored hap pens in connection with this feast
 there will be fun galore for, as has been stated, it will be "a Ia gridiron, 2
 and that means there will be unique and novel features sprung that will
 not alone be good local hits but wi l also be most timely. Of course, no
 one is going to accept the "gridiron'
 features in anything but the spirit of fun in which they are offered, and what would be the use of kicking, y
 anyway? That would only prove one a "grouch" of the first water, and who wants to be that?
 Those who attend the dinner to-
 night will be talking about it next
 year this time; those who miss it
 will be kicking themselves for the
 same length of time. To those who i are goins this evening the committee
 desires to again state that tickets will be collected at the table Have
 the coveted 'pasteboards' ready and
 flash" them at the proper time.. This dinner is unique in many
 ways-one cf them being that the committee has declined to announce
 the names of the speakers, and there will be out-of-town guests, the gov
 ernor, of course, being the guest of
 honor. Governor Hays will arrive
 this afternoon and is expected to reach the park in the afternoon. It
 is not improbable that his excellency vii join the others in a dip in the
 Ouachita, for a big swimming party will be held previous to the dinner The start for the park will be made
 from the Citizens bank building, ] The dinner will be served promptly
