THE RED CROSS AID.

AS is the case wherever such a calamity exists. the only need of Europe at this time Is not men to participate in the great struggle for supremacy. As the result of the car mage, with the great number involved. there is a service to suffering hu- manity which needs to be rendered. Every day notes an increase in the number of those who are added to the list Of wounded. and it is to those fellows that a most important aid needs to be rendered, irnpartially, without regard to nationality.
 It is upon such mission that the Red, Cross ship has been sent from this country, carrying one hundred and twenty nurses and thirty sur- geons, together with the necessary equipment for rendering all possible aid to the wounded. This is only one of the ways in which the Red cross responds to the emergency calls. but if anything was needed to dem- onstrate the interest of this country in the cause of humanity, 1t is thus provided. It Is noble response which has been made by this ecun- try in Furnishing the necessary contri- buttons for such an important and prompt tender of services and thor oughly in keeping with our spirit of neutrality is the plan to divide the forces among the several nations. to render to all alike the same assist ance At the same time it Is irnpos- sible to overlook the sacrifice which is being made by those who go to render aid. for while they are to be paid, inadequate must be whatever they receive as payment for their la bors Of mercy.

SOUND STEAMBOAT EeulPM MEnr.

When it is announced by W. c. Red- field, as the result of the reports of inspectors who have been investigat- ing the steamships which are operated in the Sound, that the vessels of the New England Navigation company are as well equipped, if not better, than the general run of vessels of their class, it is but what was expected by those who know the prevailing condi- tions.
 It was during the testimony Of Charles s. Mellen, former president of the New Haven system before the in- terstate commerce commission that he referred to the gteamboats which ply the Sound as .'tinderboxes." That there was little basis for such refer- ence was generally concealed. but. for the dctrin1ent 1t meant to such bus mess through it's effect upon the trav- cling public, the department of com nerce at once commenced a rigid in- vestigation, with the above result.
 Such must of necessity be accepted as an impartial and thorough probe into the condition, Of the boats, the precautions against fire as well as all of the passengers and crews. It is now MT. Mellen against the govern ment and as such it must be realized that the governments position and opinion follow an exact Knowledge of the facts. It rests with the depart ment of commerce whether such ves- sels can be operated and where lives are involved the investigations must be impartial. The clean bill which is given the company thus carries no small responsibility with 1t, and means what 1t says when it declares they are well equipped.

cARRANzA AND REFORM.

While 1t has to be generally acknowi- edsed that CarraIiza has a stupendous task before him in the administration of the Mexican government in the po- sition which he holds at the present time, 1t must also be agreed that he Is using good judgment in bringing together the several factions for the establishment of constitutional gov ernment-
 The present head of the government. whatever his title may be. indicates his determination to direct the affairs of the nation in a manner which will meet the needs of the nation. Even though he may be there but tempo rarily, the course which he has chosen is the one which is most likely to bring order out of chaos, and result to the benefft-of the country In pref erence to the accom- plishment of po- litical aims of certain leaders.
 From all indications the breach be- tween Carranza and Villa is not SC great but what there are good pros poets that 1t will be permanently healed. It Is for the interests of both as well as the country that 1t should be while the way has been opened by Carranza for the duieting of other disturbing clements by the convention which has been called for October first for the purpose of discussing the pro- gramme of reforms which the conn try needs. It Is through such a gath ering that the way for ending such trouble as Zapata promises Is ,pro- vided. Carranza by calling such a convention has hit upon method oi determining the wants of the people which cannot fail to impress. It Is an opportunity entirely new to the republic, which has great possibiu- ties. He is making a good starr towards national betterment.

NATIONS BIRTHDAY
 JUNGLE GAbE'S" TOO
Justice of Peace Meyer Will Celebrate Today 79th
 Anniversary.

Besides celebrating today as a na- tional holiday Pine Bluffians will also assist Justice of the Peace Gabe Meyer in celebrating his 18th birthday anniversary.
 "Uncle Gabe," as he is known to his hosts of friends, is one of the most widely known residents of the city. He was born in Bavaria, July 4, 1885. At the age of 14 years he came to this country and settled at Maricl, Union parish, Louisiana, where he lived un- til 1S56 when he removed to Pine Bluff. He has been a constant resi- dent of this city since that time.
 When war was declared between the states he enlisted in the Confed- crate army and was detailed to serv- ice in this city. After the war he re- sumed the life of business man and in 1880 became associated with the Isaac Dreyfus company, now one of the largest mercantile houses in the state.
 He was a member of the first school board in this city and is the only surviving member of that board Serving with MT. Meyer on the first board were Col. w. P. Grace, Dr. D. l.. Trimble, T. J. Havis, all prominent citizens who passed into the beyond many years ago. Mrs. M. L. Bell of this city was the first white teacher ever employed by the school board.
 "Uncle Gabe' has been Mason in this city for fifty-siX years, and is the oldest Mason in the way of member ship in the state of Arkansas. He is the only charter member now surviv- ing of the Jacob Brump lodge. Two years from now, September 9, Judge Meyer and his estimable wife expect to celebrate their golden wedding an- niversary, which will be third golden wedding anniversary celebrated in Pine Bluff He was also one of the founders of the Bluff City club.
 For twenty-one years he was a member of the Pine Bluff city council and for number of years has been a justice of the peace. He has been faithful in all his undertakings, and conscientiously endeavors to mete out justice to all alike.
 He has reared large family, all of whom are about as popular as he. His children are Joe, I. R., Mrs. Leo Kas- tor and Miss Alice Meyer of Pine Bluff; Percy Meyer of Shreveport; Mrs. Isaacs of Meridian, Miss, and Mrs. Corinne Kahn of New Orleans.

FOREIGN MARKETS
 FOR COTTONSEED
Products of Seed are in Demand in Foreign Countries, and Con-
 sumption Should Increase.

Washington, July 3.-No subect has been of more general interest dur ing the past year than the cost o1 living in all of it's phases. Diminish irg herds of cattle and the import o1 beef have come in for more than thc usuad share of comment. Therefore a new publication of the bureau Of foreign and domestic commerce, de- partment of commerce, dealing with cattle feeding in Europe will be read by Commercial Agent Erwin w. Thompson of years trip devoted to the study of various feeds and feed ing methods in Europe. The investl- gation was undertaken for the pur- pose of determining the conditions under which cotton-seed meal and cake and similar articles were sold and used in Europe, with the hope that such information might prove useful in promoting the export of these products.
 According to this report there is an enormous consumption of Oil meals of various kinds. as shown by the following Expressed in metric tons of 2,205 poulds): Germany, l. 417,920; United Kingdom, 1,206,10S; Denmark, 564,715; Netherlands, 457,- GAG; total of these countries 3,646,3S9. Besides the cotton-seed meal import ed from the United States and Rus sia and that manufactured in Ger many and England from Egyptian end Indian cotton seed much meal is made from linseed, sunflower seed, rape seed, sesame, peanuts soya beans and palm kernels.
 Although American cotton-seed meal is prime favorite in some of these countries it comprises only IA per cent of the total of oil meals and cakes consumed in Europe. This in- dicates that greater effort is needed to push this product abroad. This could be done by explaining it's ad- vantages to those feeders who. hav- ing been accustomed to linseed and other cakes before cotton seed was introduced, are slow to change to the newer product. Denmark, which is called the greatest butter country In the world, feeds more than 200 pounds of cotton-seed cake per head of cattle per year. This demonstra- tes its great value and makes aH object lesson that American export CTS might use to advantage. If the a3,OOO,00O cattle in Germany, for instance, were to use American cot ton seed meal at that rate they would need all of the 2000.00O tons that are now made in the United States. Thus there isample potential market for all that can be made
 Suggestions for exploiting this trade as we'll as much interesting matter relating to cattle feeding in general, will be found in this pub lieaticn.
