 The Poles have as keen an interest in this war as any of our alien ele- ments. It is noticeable that few Of them are going back. Those that come from Austria want Russia to win. Those that live in Russia want Germany and Austria to triumph. Government to them is not q friend- ly force but power that domineers and crushes. They have their little homes and jobs here, and live in peace and quiet far from the spies and prohibitions and exile of Europe. If they keep beer out of their christ enings, they are secure from the harassings of the police. Never again for them!
 Employers of labor and others, to whom these children of the shadow look for light and guidance, may well caution them against nasty return.

THE WAR EXCUSE.

There's one thing the European war Is doing for some Americans; some people right in this neck o'-the- woods furnishing them with an ex- cuse for not doing something they ought to do. They'd just about run out of excuses, so to them the war was something of Godsend. Just to show to what ridiculous extremes people will resort when in need of an excuse it may be cited that in pulling off a train between TeXar- Kama and Ashdown, Martin Walsh passenger agent of the M. D. X G., eX- plained the action was due to the European war. This is straight. The record is there. Texarkana people laughed so heartily at tine joke, that Martin realized it was on him anG so he didn't pull off the train. A salesman in Pine Bluff store las week told feminine customer tha he could hold gown of last springs style and dispose of it next year When she declared it would be ou of style and none would buy, the bril-
 liant salesman remarked: Well, i this war keeps up maybe they'll b, glad to get any kind of clothes."
