Spirit Of Optimism Prevails

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, August 6.-There is a spirit of optimism pervad- ing the financial circle of Lit tie Rock, with reference to the effect of the European war up- on the business interests of this section. The bankers are taking care of the situation and have hopes that the emergency cur rency issued by the government, and other steps taken by the administration, to stabilize the
 situation, will adjust things within the next week so that even general war in Europe will not jeopardize local inter- ests. The utmost confidence generally is expressed in the wisdom of President Wilson an
 his advisers.
 The Little Rock Ad Mems Club sent the following tele- gram to the President: At a meeting of the Advertisers Club of Little Rock your state ment urging people of the U- nited States to keep cool and re- frain from doing anything to add to the trouble caused by the European war, was heartily ap- proved. Governor George w. Hays addressed the club mem- bers in approval of your views and was heartily applauded. A unanimous vote instructed this telegram sent you"

There being noth- ing contraband about these goods nor anything dangerous, the fellow was released.

THE HORRORS OF WAR
 Or The Defeat of THE FLOWER OF THE WEST.

PREPARATION. The bugle had sounded - The tocsin of war. The flies shrill notes
 Were heard on the air. Two nations were stirred
 Both near and afar While the wonld awaited
 The effects of their jar. The steed stood stamping;
 And jerking at his rein While his master, the general,
 Was massing his men. The cavalry was anxious
 The order to hear. The infantry was held Far in the rear. The artillery was resting With cannon and shell, Awaiting it's power
 Of destruction to tell. The navy was tugging
 And stretching the chain, Eager to test
 Its power on the main.
Newport daily independent., 1914-08-06

The husband and lover Lay dead on the field
 Each by the other. The navy, their pride,
 Went down in a heap, And many poor souls
 Beneath the cold waters sleep, In the innocent sea,
 Where no trouble now bothers. Lie resting in peace
 Many dear, loving fathers Stay, cruel war!
 Make the bugle be still Let the horrors of war
 Forbid man his brother to kill. ''The Flower of The West The Greek army in the Balkan Greek war, 191213.

THE BATTLE.

The order was given
 Advance! "Chargei" was the
 yell. The result of the charge No one could tell. The crack of the miles,
 And the ,cannon's loud boom Caused victory
 Before the army to loom. But well-aimed shot
 Did it's mission too well, And their hope of victory With their general fell. The enemy bore down;
 Never halted to rest, Until it had conquered
 THE FLOWER OF THE WEST.
 THE RESULT. The field now is strewn
 Not with men grizzly and old, But with men in their youth, More precious than gold, The groom and the son,
