Why the Great Foreign Loan VIII
BE Made.

Such opposition as has developel
to the arrangement OF the large com
mercial loan which our bankers have
had under negotiation with the An
glo-FrenCh finance commission ad-
vances a variety of arguments, but it
has one common characteristic. II ig-

this country.
In this matter as in others the
propaganda of obstruction inauguratcd
by the hyphcns ranks American
commercial benefit as vastly inferior
TO considerations connected with the
conjectural interests of one or the
other of the helliGcrents in the Euro
pean war. II is Germany's misfor-

Assorted political heilamiteS have
invoked the emotions of pacitiSm in
behalf of an Interpretation of neutral
ity which masks a purpose 10 commit
the country to such "A policy OF war
finance and war commerce rs would
deliberately cripple the Allies. We
are told by these dcvotces of pacific
sentiment. some OF whom have burst
upon attention with a very sudden
zeal, that the contemplated loan can
operate only to prolong the war, the
very unneutral but unstated conclu-
sion being that otherwise Europe
might be forced to early acceptance
Of Germany's terms Of peace.
There is no opposition To the loan
which is based on its merits as a
business and banking transaction. All
the obStructioniSts project their fu,
tillties Of anta.Onlsm to the loan In
its relation to some Interior political
motive. The only'sympathies to which
they do not appeal are those which we
may have for ourselves in trying "a

trade and industry.

THE MIND OF WASHINGTON.
Under n Surface Tangle 1t Is Found
to Be Sound, Sober, Patriotic.

WASHINGTON, Sept. PA resident
Of Washington who is by way of being
a writer Of good repute on politics
and economics once received a request
from a magazine editor for an article
on The Mind Of Washington" He
responded hat he could not dc the
work because there Is no such thing
In the sense that he assumed the
editor had in his mind the writer gave
a good enough answer; there seems
to be NO collective mind here, no con-
sensus in even a limited circle re-
sulting from a strong master minds
diffusion; not even a ~singleness or
mind produced by a domination by the
minds of a group of highly placed Of
ficials.
In this respect, observers say, Wash
lngton differs from most European
capitals. 1t was so even when the
White House was occupied by a
gentleman Of very fixed and deter
mined opinions and no reluctance to
give them emphatic expression. This
may be so because the Washington
concerning whose mind the editor was
curious Is composed OF the minds OF
individuals influenced by groups wide
~ separated by distance, widely dlNer-
gent in interests.
A community supported by the pro-
ceeds OF a crop or cotton studies foreign
relations from a different angle thar

Nevertheless, beneath the tangle n

ground wherein may be found the

the investigator Will trip c as many

the effects OF executive acts, OF notes

COTTON REDUCTION LARGEST IN STATt FAULKNER TO FEED SELF DIVERSIFICATIO TAKES HOLD OF FARMERS OF THIS
 COUNTY.

That the reduction in cotton acreage in Faulkner county is one of the larg- est if not the largest of any county
 in Arkansas is the opinion of District Agent J. c. Barnett of the United States demonstration work, who has just made trip to several points in
 the county and interviewed many of the farmers. While MT. Barnett did not make any estimate of the percent age of the reduction, he seemed con- fident that it would exceed that of any other county in the state.
 Diversification has taken farmers of Faulkner county almost by storm, ac- cording to County Demonstrator J w. Earlier. 'I do not know farmer in the county who is not making
 preparations to produce a sufficient
 amount of feedstuff to supply his own
 needs" said MT. Earlier. "At least two-thirds of the farmers are making
 reductions of from 10 to 80 per cent
 in their cotton acreage, but all of
 them seem to have firm determina- tion not to be caught in the predica-
 ment that they were last year and to
 raise cotton strictly as a surplus crop
 after supplying their own needs in feedstuffs. Not only are the biggest
 crops of grain in the history of the
 county being planted, but the farm CTS, practically without exception, are enlarging and giving better attention
 to their gardens. Most of them are
 preparing to supply their tables from their gardens throughout the summer and to can sufficient supply of veg etables to last them through next win ter. Here is where the work of the girls canning clubs for the past two years will prove it's value"
 MT. Earlier said that, in spite of the backward spring, farm work is well advanced and good stands are re- ported everywhere. They are doing some farming this year," he said. "They are taking their time, getting the soil in good condition before plant ing, selecting the best seed that can be obtained, and are proceeding with their work carefully, energetically, and intelligently. It may be, after all, that last years disaster will prove a blessing in disguise to the farmers of our county"

LOST MAN HERE
 RfCAINS MEMORY NAME IS W. J. LAUGHTER RELATIVES WIRE THEY WILL TAKE HIM TO HIS HOME IN
 LOUISIANA.

Following the receipt late yesterday of telegram identifying him, w. J. Laughter of Briceland, La., who for llve days was unable to remember his name, has regained his memory and Iouay appears to be in practically a normal condition. The telegram ar rived only few hours before Laugh ter would have been taken to the state insane hospital, he having been com mltted to that institution for treat, ment by the county court Monday morning.
 It was through the efforts of L. B
 Pence that the stranger, whose condi. tlon excited the pity of many loca citizens, was identified. Mr.. Pence wrote to J. s .Gerson, a merchant o1 Glenmore, La, whose name appeared in the hat worn by Laughter, giving his description and stating his condi l ton. Yesterday afternoon a message was received positively identifying the stranger, giving his name and stating that he is blacksmith who had beer missing from home for some time anc who was being traced by his wife anc | W. F. Brister.
 As soon as his name was called | Laughter immediately recognized it and called the given name of his wife He seemed delighted that he was at last identified. Since yesterday after noon his improvement has been rapid and he is able today to recall every thing in his past life up to the time he left home. He says he still cannot remember when or why he left home or where he has travelled since leav- ing.
 MT. Pence received another tele- gram today requesting that Laughter be cared for until his relatives arrive to take him home. They are expected to come for him tomorrow.
