The attitude of some people whose
 future is dependent upon the suc-
 cess of the movement to re tire dis.
 tress cotton under tine "buy-a plan recalls a story of a man who was so lazy and worthless his ntiga. bors decided they might as well inter him. Too lazy to resist he was p'ac ed in a coffin and hauled toward ,he graveyard. As the procession was about to pass into the burying ground stranger made inquiries and the situation was explained. His sympa- thies were aroused, and believing that there was exaggeration he pleaded with the selp-appointed pall-Jearers to haul the corpse" back to his home to provide the indiv; luz: with enough corn to furnish subsistence for some time. How about it"" was asked the corpse" ''Is the corn shelled?' the lazy man queried. The stranger admitted the corn must DC and shelled. This was too much for the corpse" Drive on," he ordered.

ACCUSE GERMANS
 OF ATROCITIES
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE

sume of the report of the Belgian commission of inquiry as filed With President Wilson today:
 "The atrocities in Linsneau and Orsmael:
 "The German cavalry, occupying the village of Linsneau were attacked by some Belgian troops and two gen. darmes. A German officer was killed by the Belgians turing the fight and subsequently buried at the request of the Belgian officer in command. None
 of the civilians had taken part in the fight; nevertheless, the village was invaded at dusk, on August 10, by strong force of German cavalry, ar tillery and machine guns. In spite Of the formal assurances given by the burgomaster that none of the civilians had taken part in the fight, two farmers and six outlying houses were destroyed by gunfre and reduced to ashes. All the male population was then compelled to come forward and hand over whatever arms they pos sessed. No recently discharged fire arms were found. Nevertheless, the uNduClS ulF iuCu LHCSC PCoodhto iIto three groups. Those in one group were bound and eleven placed in a |ditch, where they were afterward found dead, thei skulls fractured by the butts of rifles.
 Outrage Women.
 During the night of August 10 German cavalry entered Velm in hnrC tha in hi asleep. Without provocation the Ger mans fired on Mir. Deglimmes house and broke into it. They destroyed furniture and footed valuables. They burned his barn, hay, corn stacks, and all farming implements as we'll as cattle and yards. They carried off Madame Deglimme half naked to a place two miles away. She was then released, and as she fled was fired upon without being hit, however. Her husband was carried to point in another direction and fired upon; he is dying. The same troops sacked and burned the house of railway watchman.
 Farmer Jeff Keerks of Neerhespen IS an eyewitness of the following atrocities committed by German cav arly at Orsmael and near Neerhesten. on August 10, II and 12. An old man had his arm cut off in three longitud- lal slices; he was then hanged head downward and burned alive. Young girls were raped and little children outraged at Orsmael: mutilations too 1 horrible to describe were innflicted on other inhabitants. Prisoners were hanged while others were tied to telegraph posts and shot.
 After an engagement at Haeen l Commandant van Zamme was so severely wounded that he was lying prcns OF bis back. He vas murdered by German infantry firing their re- volvers into his mouth

NEWSPAPER RESPONSIBILITY.

Josephus Daniels, secretary of the navy. in an address delivered L1aor Day to a press association, urged editors to subordinate their news tG the service of the country He par ticularly felt that in this time, when international issues are involved, newspapers should be carful what they print.
 This is good advice. But few peo- pie realize how largely editors always do follow these counsels.
 Where there are controversies as ot the publication or non-publ!cafion of news, they almost always arise over some personal wrong doing. A man gets too much bad whiskey :: him, then breaks loose and assaults some one. Next morning, after pay ing his fine, he calls around at the newspaper office. He shows an ap' preciation of the editors friendsE:p that was never manifested before. Incidentally, he asks the paper to keep the story quiet.
 "It won't do any good to print It. No one is interested in it." is his familiar sounding plea.
 No good purpose is served by the suppression of such incidents. The only result is that the offending citi- zen is spared a part of the eondemna- tion that is his just punishment. AS a result, he is much more likely to maks an ass of himself again.
 It is a very different story when the. newspaper man comes in contact with the police or other responsible public officials. If the newspapers printed all they know, criminals would escape and many corrupt offl- cials would buy tickets for Canada.
 The great majority of the news papers are handling tactfully and periodically the news about the war. They freely print both sides. They have right to express an opinion as to the cause of the war.

DINE BLUFF
 ROGRESs ROSPERITY
HE AMERICAN WOMAN.

Miss Ida M. Tarbell in the current number of Womans Home Conpan- ion makes strong appea' to the women of the United States "tc Seep the American people at work during this crisis; to show the world what patriotic peace means, as opposed to patriotic war; to offer at the end of this struggle a picture of the f:ul's Of each so striking that men never can forget it. One of the mos. ssb- stantial contributions that the Amer ican woman can make to the fulfill ment of this duty is to give steady intelligent support of American indus tries"
 Miss Tarbell points out how this can be done. It is by using domestic fab rics, hats, bonnets, feathers, flowers jcwelry, gowns, lace, embroideries lingerie, hosiery and the thousand and one article dear to the feminine neart that Miss Tarbe!l says can be produced at home as well aai as cheaply as they can be imported.
 Miss Tarbell admits that any wom- an of taste and knowledge N'il say that she can get in Eur >pean products more snap" in styles, no"e cunning in detail and more duraLil'ty in ma terial than she can get in domestic manufactures, but she declares that this is because American manufactur- CTS and designers hove never had a fair opportunity to show what they could do.
 The American woman is dazzled with that word imported" No mat ter what the excellence of the domes- tic fabric or the American-m made ar- ticle, it is surpassed by the imported fabric or article. The very fact that an article is imported from Paris, Vienna, Berlin or London, gives it a value that no intrinsic excellence could give to the domestic manufac- ture
 Given an opportunity to choose be- tween two equally good pieces of cloth, one foreign and one domestic the American woman will never hesi- tate. She will always choose the for eign. She will even pay a premium for the foreign because, as Miss Tar lelt puts it, there is scarcely wo- man of Us between the Atlantic and the Pacific that does not love to feel the word imported on our tongue.''
 Consider for moment, urges Miss Tarbell, "wtat it would mean to our manufacturers and designers if annually their factories and work rooms were visited by hundreds oi

THE AGE FOR BEGINNING SCHOOL

Many parents feel they must turn children over to the first grade of school at the age of five. This leaves the mother free for social life, gives the youngsters good start.
 Yet doctors and many wise parents are questioning if this early begin ming is wise. It seems like harness ing a child up to q permanent job at very early age.
 If child is not vigorous physically he will make but slow progress III school. At the ages of five. six, and seven, he can grasp but little of the fundamentals. But if he stays ont until he is seven. and by the free out door life acquires strong const ;u tion, he will then make rapid prog ress. An average child with this strong start should be able to skip a grade or so.
 It is mistake to think that the child of six or seven is learning nothing even if he is out of schocl His eyes are opening wider every day and outdoor air is providing s wonderful foundation for future ad vance.

 Now is the time for the American woman to throw her tremendous in fluence on the side of Aemrican man. ufactures. If she will give the do- mestic manufacturer and the domes- tic designer a fair chance-if she will give their goods an even opportunity for her favor, letting the word "lm- ported" weigh for nothing. she can help to build up manufactures worth of dollars annually.

It seems that to Frank Quinn, secre- tary of the TeXarkana Chamber of Commerce, is due credit for enlistiao the aid of at least one big mail order house in the "buy-a- bale" movement. MT. Quinn, having knowledge of -ne business in the Texarkana territory of two of the mail order houses, wired them asking how many bales th y would take to aid their Southern customers. The letters of regret were marvels of please-eXcuse-u opistles One of the houses, however, evidently saw the steel so well concealed in the velvelt-Eke query from Quinn, for later it wired that it would did in ,la movement, buying 10000 bales from customers. The Graphic can well imagine the purpose to which MT. Quinn intended to put those letters Of reg ct.

 The Knox.Walker Furniture com- pany yesterday wrote twenty firms with whom it has transacted pusl- ness for long time, explaining the situation and urging that each buy one or more bales at 10 cents a pound | Richard Knox says he expects to sell ,, at least twenty bales for the commit tee through these letters, and sug- gests that other local firms can do as we'll by the same method. George H.

 Orders that Count.
 To pick up any newspaper is to realize the strength of the "buy-a- bale" movement.
 The Memphis Commercial Appeal Of yesterday chronicles that the presi dent of big house has given orders for the purchase of 1000 bales; that a St. Louis shoe house will buy 200 bales and each of its 40 salesmen one bale each; that Swift & company has given instructions to it's branches to each buy a bale, and that the Mis- cjc Syyo %o1,o two bales for each patron Who must sell. This means the college is will ing to take 200 bales.
 : The Little Rock committee met yes terday and raised the minimum from s to 10 cents to be in accord with other cities, and the bales are still being sold there.
 The Carhartt company has an- nounced that it will accept cotton at 10 cents a pound in payment Of ac- counts, and that this cotton will be used in manufacturing the companys product. Manufacturers of almost everything from automobiles to patent medicines are coming foryard with declarations they will either buy cot ton at 10 cents Or accept it at that llSui HI pdyuleHl Ol dCCOuulS.
 FOrdyce Organizes.
 A report from Fordyce shows the patriots there have organized and propose to retire 1000 bales. Rison will have meeting this week to launch the plan there. In every sec tion of the country people are talking the ''buya plan, and most of the talking is being done with money
 The women of New Orleans have taken their places behind the move ;ment there and several thousand bales have been placed.
 People are buying cotton every- where, and there now seems little doubt that the great patriotic move ment will achieve it's purpose: to save the people of the South from year of poverty.
 Everybody seems to desire to be in on the movement; to show they are as patriotic as others, and tLey are buying cotton.
 Pine Bluffians will now have their opportunity.
 People here must do as much for oru people as othe rcommunities are doing for theirs. Then, buy a bale.

There is many a farmer in Arkan- sas. who. by the practice of rigorous economy and by the indulgent aid of his creditors, could tide himself over for month or two with $50 in cash To get that amount of money in the open market, which is mostly non est, he would have to sell two bales of cotton. Hence when you buy one bale for $50, you enable him to hold off the market one bale which otherwise he would be forced to sell and for which he can obtain fair price later.

 Eastern and Western firms already show that people who have never be. fore bought cotton are doing so TOW :; doing it to aid the South and them selves. This puts into the banks oi the Sorth money they would nevn1 touch except for the "buy-a-bale" plan.
