"The first shall be last, and the last shall be first,' is a quotation from the Bible that can be used with refer ence to the battleship Arkansas, the greatest of all modern fighting mach ines. It is the first when it comes to battleships, but as for recognition from the state whose name it bears, it is a sad last. Every other battle ship has silver service. The Arkan- sas uses whatever the ships crew happens to find handy. There is no service to display with pride, which cuts to the heart of Arkansans who are doing duty on the floating palace of destruction. It is intimated there has been strife among the members of the commission which was appointed to raise funds to make the purchase in the name of the people of Arkansas so it now looks as if the legislature must make an appropriation to care for the balance. The administration favors such an appropriation, and it will probably be made, so that the of ficers of the Arkansas need no longer hang their heads in shame when any one asks them concerning the silver service presented by the people of Arkansas

Egyptians Making
Enemy Move Ships
Out of Suez Canal

LONDON, Oct 22.--Through the official
press bureau the government sets forth
it's attitude towards the ships of an enemy
In the Suez canal Some vessels, 1t states
were detained by the Egyptian govern
ment because OF hostile acts committed
in the canal. and some because II wa
believed that they contemplated hostile
acts. In a third class are placed the ships
which refused TO leave, though free pas
sage was offered, thus disclosing an In
tention TO use the ports of the canal as q
refuge-a measure not contemplated BY
the Suez canal convention"
As such action might block the use OF
the canal by other ships 1t il contended
that "the Egyptian government is fully
justified In removing all the enemy's ships
which have been long enough at cana
ports to show clearly that they have nc
intention OF departing IN the ordinary
way"
