KAISER MAKES
u. S. PROPOSAL
GERMANY STANDS READY TO
CONSIDER RECEDlNG FROM ITS
ANNOUNCED INTENTION.
ENGLISH VESSELS ARMED
John Bull Gives Instructions to Hls
Merchant Ships to Fire on
Submarines.

Washington.-Count Bernstorff, the
German ambassador, presented to the
state department a note from his gov
ernment announcing that Germany
stands ready TO consider receding
from its announced intention of at.
lacking British. merchantmen II Great
Britain will withdraw its efforts to
prevent foodstuffs from going to Ger
many for the civilian population.
The note declares Germanys plan
to attack British merchantmen was n
retaliatory measure adopted because
Of tha alleged violation Of information
al law by Great Britain in trying to
starye the non-combatant population
Of Germany and that the latter gov
ernment is ready to withdraw from
its purpose as expressed in the ma
val war zone decree as far as it ap.
plies to merchant vessels as soon as
Great Britain, either Of its own voli-
ton or as a result Of representations
from the neutral countries, expresses
her willingness to return to the usual
practices OF international law" in the
question Of foodstuffs.
The German note adds that the Ber-
lin government has information that
English merchant vessels are being
armed and have orders to sail in
groups for protection, and futher that
they would try to sink submarines. It
declared that there is now no question
Of searching them, but the result
would be that German ships would
fight them because they are now held
to be warships,

DOWN TO BASE OF SUPPLY
Manager Of Supply comp'ny Forced
to a Compromise With Receipt
Of Large Order.

The tea companies were fighting
each other for the trade Of the town
The Bee Tea company gave premiums
with each pound Of tea, while the Gee
Tea company did not. The result was
that the latter concern was being
pushed to the wall. Finally the Ge-
Tea people realized that they must
give premiums or quit,
So. after careful consideration, they
decided to give quart Of milk with
each pound OF tea. Business picked
up at once,
81 understand you give a quart OF
milk with each pound Of tea said a
lady one day,

"Well, I'm Mrs, Ketchem Of Holden

Two important election measures
have received the approval of the
Senate, and now go to the house for
consideration. One is the bill intro
duced by Senator Moore for a new
primary law, and the other by Sena-
tor Greathouse for the consolidation
of the state with the federal elections
in November.
The Moore bill was drawn by com
mittee, of which former Congressman
S. Brundidge was chairman, appointed
by the last Democratic State Conven-
ton Senator Futrell said the bill
was by far the most important that
had come before the Senate, and that
unless the present election laws are
changed the strength Of the Democrat
ic party would be endangered.
while the party is in power at this
time" he said, ut cannot always con-
tinue so if it allows its elections to
be conducted in n corrupt manner
Corrupt elections breed corrupt Off
clals, and we cannot afford to allow
our state to be governed in such a
way, The objections that have been
offered to this bill are so immaterial
that no senator should vote against it
because Of them"
The vote on the bill follows:
For-Adamson Ashley, Bush, Cab.

Opposition to the bill providing for
the consolidation of elections came
chiefly from members from the "black
belt They declared that the passage
of the bill would place the negro in
power Senators Hamilton and Col
Inns spoke against the bill. Senator
Greathouse replied to the argument
by declaring that North and South
Carolina, Florida, Texas, Mississippi
and other Southern states passed the
law years ago, He said these states
have the grandfather clause" but
that the Anglo'SaXop race would rule
in spite OF the fact that Arkansas has
no such law, The vote on the bill fol.

STONE HILL

Editor Spectator: As 1 have seen nothing from this part in quite a while. and for fear some have forgotten the name of the place and where situated, thought would send you the name and a brief sketch of our beautiful little valley and some of the doings therein. As you travel the main highway be- tween the two beautiful little towns of Ozark and Altus you pass thru our part of the woods, known as Pond Creek Valley or Horse Shoe Bend. This valley is very fertile and produces abundantly most any variety of fruit or vegetables or grain adapted to the southern climate. This valley is surrounded on the east by Pond Creek mountain which lies in the shape of a horse shoe with the toe pointing eastward. The prongs lying in graceful curves extending to the west form most picturesque landscape. A short distance westward of the termination of these two prongs stands the school house on the hill. From this house many have launched their barques upon the broad seas of this industrial world The commanders of thes e barques have steered into almost every channel and can be found pushing forward in the various avocations of life. Yo scribe can be seen pushing old Beck across the field with the sweat streaming down his face and with this passage of scripture continuously on his mind: Tn the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread until thou return unto the ground.
