LONDON, Aug. 2S.-Lord Kitch-
ener, secretary of state for war, an
nounced in the House of Lords to-
day that in addition to reinforce
ments, which would be received from
this country, the government had de-
cided that the British army in France
should be further increased. The
troops to increase the forces were
now on the way, he>said. He added
that all the gaps in the army in
France were being filled up.
That the employment of native In
dian troops was meant by Lord
Kitchener was later confirmed by the
Marquis OF Crewe, secretary OF state
for India.
Crewe's Statement.
The Marquis OF Crew said
1T has been deeply impressed on the
government that the wonderful wave OF
enthusiasm and loyalty at the present
time passing over India is largely due to
the desire OF the Indian people that In
dian soldiers should stand side by side
with their comrades In the British army.

African troops TO assist the French army.
and II would have been a disappointment
to India II they had been debarred from
taking part In the war in Europe.
VIII Give Account of selves.
Our army will thus be reinforced by
soldiers-high-sou men-of first-rate
training, and | am certain that they will
give the best possible account OF them

desire Of our Indian fellow subjects to
SO cooperate with US is not less crafty
ing than the same desire shown In the
self-governing dominions, some Of whose
soldiers In due course viii no doubt also
be found fighting side by side with Brit
ish troops and Indian troops in the war.
"Of course. We all know that India does
not possess an inexhaustible reserve Of
troops and the defense OF India must I'm
itself be a primary consideration not
only TO India itself but to us: but I am

Lynch Murder Case Appealed.

Little Rock, July 15.-- The case of Lillie D. Lynch and Rob- ert Spiyey against the state, from Monroe county, has been appealed to the supreme court.
 Young Spiyey and Mrs. Lynch were tried on an indictment of first-degree murder for the kill ing of E. c. Lynch at Saulsburg, Monroe county, May 9, 1913, They were convicted of second degree murder, after a long and somewhat delayed trial, and giv- en five years each in the peniten- tiary.
 Mrs. Lynch was the wife of E.. IC. Lynch, who was a wealthy landowner near Cotton Plant. Spivey was Mrs, Lynch's son by Ia former marriage. Divorce proceedings were pending at the time Lynch was killed, and it was charged that the two de- fendants, the boy and his moth CT, conspired to snare Lynch to her home and kill him. He was shot near window, it being charged that Spivey fired the shot as Lynch was trying to climb into the room.

Character, Not Law.

More incompetent men ride into office masqueraded in the guise of reform than competent men who are real reformers, but who refuse to indorse fake nos trums as a bribe for votes.
 The weak citizen is always clamoring for more statutory support. Vague, int mperate, and radical enact ments lead Invariably to confu- sion, distrust and disaster. There should be more stability in ordered procedure just as surely as in individual conduct.
 These are truisms inculcated in Americans by the founders of the government and vigorously adhered to until the last decade or two. New men call on one another in the aggregate to control themselves by law be- cause they are unable individu- ally to control themselves. They would substitute enactments for the character which they failed
 
 to develop, and as they cry in their weakness other weddings crowd with them.
 The greatness of a people is not found in the multiplicity of their laws, but in unwritten laws and customs according to which they conduct themelyes toward their fellows. Stringency of statutes is a sign of natural fee bleness, even a forerunner of decadence. One good admfnis- trator of the laws is better than a hundred more statutes which may or may not be enforceable. Memphis News Scimitar.

Sentiment Of The State.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, July 15.-Again, during the past week, the Little Rock correspondent of the h. dependent has been abroad in the land, gleaning information a. bout the favor in which the people hold the Bond Issue A mendment, and the Publicity Act. Little, and no organized opposition, has been found to either measure. Prominent men in the few counties which failed to cast a favorable vote on the Bond Issue Amendment two years ago, declare it will be a. dopted there this time, with large majorities. The cities have been for the amendment all the time, and the towns real ize that it is their only way for making municipal improvements and they too, are strong for it's adoption. The rural voters are being urged to assist the towns in their efforts to develop, and they are not expected to put a damper on anything that tends to improve the state, or any portion of it. l.@aAa < A....-
 AS for the Publicity Act, it was supposed that politicians would be strong against it, as it is intended to give the public in- formation about the manner in which these offices are being

conducted. A few county offi- cials of the various counties but contrary to expectations, the majority of the county otfi- cials of the variuos counties have signified their willingness to support the bill. According to their expressions, they have nothing to hide from the peo- pie"
 Both measures are practically certain of adoption, as is the Child Labor Act, but it is doubt full if the Bank Guaranty or the Mining Board bills are submit ted. These will probably be knocked out in the courts, due to the attack made on the legal ity of many signatures upon the petitions.
 It is reported that many pros cautions will follow if the sig natures on the petitions should be proven to be forgeries, In addition to this persons who signed the petitions asking that the acts be referred to the peo- pie of the state, and who are not qualified electors, are also liable to conviction. The opponents of these measures call attention to the small per centage of the vo- ters (S per cent) being required to submit a measure to the peo- pie, and if illegal signers are not prosecuted, the state will every two years have a large number of radical measures to pass upon at a great expense to the state If the illegal signers are prose- cuted, it will make it a difficult matter to secure eight per cent among the registered voters.' and the people will be protected from the expenditure of large s,ros ~sl ~awwi

BORDEAUX LIKE VERSAILLES,
Has Aspect of Royal, Rather Than
Republican Seat of Government

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
PARIS. September 3.-Bordeaux. the
city to which the French government
has been removed. has the aspect of a
royal seat of government rather than
republican. 1t resembles Versailles.
The desire to build a grandiose city is
everywhere in evidence. The streets
are broad. the squares spacious, and
the buildings of large proportion, yet
the 100000 Inhabitants of the city are
insufficient to give 1t the appearance
Of a populous center. Bordeaux could
easily shelter a population three times
as large.
1t is situated on tho left bank
Of the Garonne. which forms a mag
nificent harbor some sixty miles to the
southeast of the river. 1t is about
3S9 miles from Paris. Not only Is it
easy of access. but 1t is favorably
placed for communication with other
parts Of France and with Spain. For
the second time In its history 1t now
becomes the provisional capital of
France. During the Franco-German
war of 1901 the government was
transferred thither from Paris. and re-
manned there until the conclusion OF
peace.

GERMAN MlSCALCULATI0N
Saws Her Fantastic Dream of Brit

LONDON, September 19.-One OF the

cruiting meeting at Edinburgh, Scot
land. lats week - .f--'
The Germans were led into the mis-
calculation. he said, that the British
colonies wanted to cut connections
with the mother country and tha
India was in revolt.
What a fantastic dream and what &
rude awakening" exclaimed the prem
Ter.
1t has been proved that Germany. by
her own deliberate act, made war, Mr.
Asquith continued. adding that Ger
many has made no attempt to contro-
vert that fact, except by the circula-
ton of wanton falsehoods.
1t is in the interest. not only of the
British empire. but of civilization, the
speaker declared. that the arrogant
claim of single power to dominate
the destinies and development OF
Europe should be resisted.

PLANS HURRIEDLY MADE

Tons Of Provisions Massed in City

PARIS. September 19.-Though ap-
parently the German plan of battle
has been changed and Paris now does
not appear to be in any danger OF
siege, the time when the kaiser
troops menaced the French caplta'
and were within few miles of the
Paris forts served to remind the peo-
pie very wildly of the former siege
Of this city by the Germans in the
Franco-Prussian war Of 1901.
There are today in Paris thousands
of people who remember the former
siege. and to them the feverish activ-
ity of a few weeks ago. when tons OF
provisions were massed in the city
and herds of cattle grazed in the Bois
de Boulogne. were pregnant with

two days later the provisional govern

night afterward the investment of the
capital was complete. The victorious
Prussian army which had captured
MacMahon had made straight for Paris
in the hope of an immediate entry, and
the Prussian cavalry hurriedly COM
pleted the circle of investment by a
rapid sweeping movement around the
city to the west.
Siege Lasts Four Months.
The siege began September 10. The
final armistice was signed January rs.
