To the Schools OF Randolph Co.

As was stated some time ago
through both the Star Herald and
the Pocahontas Times an exsmina-
tion for those wishing to secure a
common school diploma will be
held at various places throughout
the county, April and 8.
This examination will be open TO
all who have been attending school
regularly. Each applicant must
furnish a statement to the conduc-
tor under whom he takes the ex-
animation, showing that his deport-
ment has been satisfactory to his
teacher aud school board.
All papers will be graded by
those conducting the examination
after which they will be sent to the
rural school promotion committee.
This committee will review the
papers and determine who has
passed. An average grade of rs
per cent, with no grade below go
per cent, will be required.
This examination will include
questions on the following subjects:
Arithmetic, English Grammar,
Spelling, Geography. United States
History, Arkansas History, Agrl-
culture, Physiology, and Clvics.
The grade on reading must be sup
piled and certified to by the teacher
and the penmanship will be graded
from the papers. Algebra aud
psychology are not required.
Two examinations will be offered
each year and grades of 75 per cent
and above may be carried from one
examination to the next
This plan if properly carried out
should be worth great deal TO all
the schools Of the county, yet it is
believed that it Will be worth most
to our rural schools in which Gre
sometimes found young and mex
perienced teachers.
Those who have studied school
conditions know that the rural
school diploma as it is now being
issued in most counties in this state
IS very unsatisfactory and often
Disappointing. This move is IN.

which this diploma is granted more

the approval of every one who Is
interested in better schools.

Resolutions Of Respect

Resolved, that whereas, il hath
pleased the Supreme Sovereign
Commander Of the universe to call
from his earthly walk in the great
forest OF Wood-Craft our beloved
and devoted sovereign, A. J. Witt,
who, at the Divine behest of the
Supreme Commander, on March
nth 1918, at Hoxie, ArX.. ceased
his labors and land down his axe, so
nobly, worthily and bonerably
welded in the earthly forest Of this
life.
Wv therefore, by this Camp in
sorrow assembled, be il said and re-
solved IN truth, that words Of speech
or pensre too weak to express the
deep and poignant sense OF grief
and loss, which this Camp feels at
the swift taking hence of this de-
parted sovereign, our brother A. j.
Witt.
Like a stroke of blighung light
ming from clear sky, down
through the boughs of our forest,
came this stroke of death, and this
giant oak, lay PROSTATE and still in
death among us.
OF our honored and loved sover.
eign II must be said, that Of all
men Of the state Of Arkansas, not
one was more fraternal than sover-
eign A. j. Witt. His wisdom IN
the councils Of fraternalism was a
potent factor IN their success, and
so far as reached the uplifting in.
huences of fraternalism, Just so far
was felt the influence of the life
and character of Sovereign Witt.
He was a most ardent advocate Of
the principles of Wood-Caaft hold
ing policy No. 1891 aud has been a
devoted member since Aug. "a,
1897.
He believed that a man should do
all the good that he could in the
world without the fear Of punish
men' or hope of reward.
lie believed in the old adage,
"Do Right, because 1t is Right"
lie believed that in order to love
and glorify bis Maker, man must
dJ\ehat be can to uplift and edify
his fellowman about him.
"He who loves not his fellowman,
loves not his Maker, in whose image
he is made" was a trite say ing Of
our friend aud brother.
He hated pompous show and pub
lie display of any kind whatever.
He believed in the doing of good
deeds to mis- fellowman IN the spirit,
"Let not your left hand know what
your right hand doeth." Yet his
hand was ever open to contribute
in a material way toward every en-
terprise which he considered for the
public good. We dare say there Is
not a church building in the good
county of Randolph, built by do.
nations, that does not speak forth
the generosity of A. J. Witt.
Countless are the young men and
women of the county and state who
have been inspired with hope and
determination to go forward toward
the goal to cultured and refined
manhood and womanhood by kindly
material assistance in time of need.
Many a mother, bereaved by
widowhood and many fatherless
child have felt the sustaining effect
OF his opening generous hand.
He believed in an individuality
of character and was ever ready to
speak and act his conviction before
men. So ready and positive was
his speach that In the common
everyday affairs of life his true
character was often misunderstood,
To get 0.true and correct index to
his worth and merit, we have but
to draw near to him, get within the
inner circle of his lite, and note
the things of lasting import which
he has done, and imperishable deeds
he has left behind.

Arrested as Sny.

New York, Feb. 25.-Rchard Peter
Stegler, native Of Germany who
had signified his allegiance 10 the
United States by taking out his first
citizenship papers, was arrested to-
day for obtaining a fraudulent pass
port and was committed to the Tombs.
Papers found OF Stelger bear the
signature of Captain r. Boy-Ed, the
naval attache of the German embas-
Sy, and the personal representative
in this city of Count j. H. Won Berns-
torff, the German ambassador.
Stegler made the astounding state
ment to the federal authorities that
Captain Boy-Ed had asked him to 90
to England as an American citizen
and locate a fleet Of British dread
noughts believed to be hiding in st.
Georges channel. He was to cable
the information to New York, whence
it was to be transmitted by wireless
to secret German bases IN the North
Atlantic.
Acting on Stegler's report, German
submarines were to make a daring
raid on the British first line of naval
defense
The plan had been thought out to
the incest detail, Stegler said, and he
was about to take passage on the Lus-
itania when his love for the country
of his adoption and the protests of
his American bride made him sudden
ly change his mind. Facing about,
he decided to turn over all his evil
dence to the United States authori-
ties.

Hope for Lost Army.

Petfograd, Feb. 25.-Hopes are SUI
entertained in military circles that a
considerable portion Of the Twentieth
army corps, which was surrounded by
the Germans ON the retreat through
the AugustoWo forest, may succeed IN
fighting its way out and join the Rus
sian forces on the Niemen line. These
hopes are based on the continual ar
rival Of small detachments which sue
ceeded in eXtricating themselves from
the woody labyrinth and also on the
fact that the distance separating the
isolated units from the main body is
no longer great.
The character Of the tract over
which the retreat is taking place
will prevent the Germans from max
ing full use Of their superiority in
numbers. AugustoWo forest is prac-
tically trackless wilderness, with
sWampy wastes through which it is
impossible for heavy troops to move
rapidly.
1t is realized that, fighting on four
fronts against a vastly superior force.
the Twentieth corps must have suf-
fered heavily and at best only a REM
nant can have survived. At the same
time 1t Is by no means unlikely thai
the losses Of the Germans have been
altogether out of proportion to then
success-because 4 great deal Of the
fighting must have been hand-to-hand
and in this the Germans are no
match for the Russians.
The strategic aim Of the latest move
ct the enemy seems TO be by a double
offensive, or the extreme flanks from
the Bazurian battle front and over
the eastern spur Of the Carpathians,
to bring about a Reorganization of
the Russian center. Apparently they
are doomed to disappointment in this
respect, for in their operations against
the Niemen line the Germans are
sad to be employing only from six
to eight corps and such a force is
declared to be quite inadequate to OBJ
tam any decisive success against this
strongly fortified front.
The terrain the enemy has chosen
for his attacks every day becomes less
favorable to him. From Augusiowo
to Lomza the Bobr and it's tributaries
form maze Of marshes through
which there are only two or three
passages which are practicable for
large bodies of troops.

Washington Worried
Over Ocean Traffic

Washington, Feb. 25.-The solution
of the war zone problem rests with
Great Britain and the next move in
the critical situation depends upon the
attitude Of the London government.
This is the view of administration
officials and diplomats in touch with
the international questions arising out
Of the war.
Confidential proposals Of the Unit
ed States to end the war zone have
been submitted to England and Ger
many, and Washington officials to-
day are wrapped in cloaks of silence
more closely than ever to await the
reply.
The intimation comes from Berlin
that the kaiser's advisers are inclined
to accept the American suggestions,
but no hint has been obtained as to
the position of Great Britain, and Of
flclal Washington, therefore, is wait
ing with much anxiety the outcome
of the present negotiations.
All circles in Washington official
dem are fully alive to the serious sit
uation and realize that the path of
the United States in the matter of
neutrality is rough and uncertain.
Meanwhile the sinking of the Eve
lyn and Carib has caused the war risk
OF the insurance bureau to take up
the question of suspending further in
surance on ships sailing to North Eu-
ropean ports. This is urged as q
means OF dlscouraging shipping.

AlarmiSt REPORTS IJnyerified

Washington, Feb. 25.-Alarmist re-
ports that the negotiations on the
part of the United States, Great Brit
ain and Germany looking to settle
ment of the foodstuffs importation
TO Germany and the latter's admin
istration of the war zone, had reached
deadlock or were about to collapse,
found no official confirmation at
Washington.
Secretary Of State Bryan declined.
however, to clarity the situation by
disclosing what was the nature of the
propositions made by the United States
TO Great Britain through Ambassador
Page and to Germany by Ambassador
Gerard.
The situation, as understood here,
is that Count Won Bernstorff on the
18th inst. filed a note with the state
department in which he contended
against food stuffs as contraband and
suggested that the good faith of his
government. was pledged and would
remain pledged to insure the use of
imported foodstuffs in Germany by
civilians and no others.
After this came the reply of Ger
many to the United States protest
against lHe war zone ana Lefnany S
threats of the possible destruction Of
American vessels in that zone. Ger
many. however, suggested in her re-
ply that she was willing to discuss
new proposals and declared that if
Great Britain would raise the en-
barge against Germany and cease to
carry out the policy of starvation,
she, Germany, might consent to a re-
consideration of the war zone, which
was in her mind measure of retail
alton.
The United States, it is understood,
has no function in this matter except
to let the American ambassador at
London know the character of the
German attitude and to endeavor to
ascertain the attitude thereon of Sir
Edward Grey.
