American Says Russians Receiving Ammunition by

New York, July 6.-Dr .B. R.

The Vologda and Archangel railroad, with newly constructed lines reaching from Vo- logda toward the battle line. had been taken over in it's entirety by the government for transportation of munitions.

WARNS AGAINST PELLAGRA CURES
State Health.O Officer Recon mends Varied Diet to
 Combat Disease.

Little Rock, July 6.-Dr. C. W. Gar rison, state health officer, has issued warning to the public concerning pellagra. Dr. Joseph Goldberger, of the United States public health ser vice, recently in the state, makes the emphatic statement that it is non- communicable disease and due solely to improper and unbalanced diet.
 The Arkansas state board of health does not hold that it is a communi- cable disease and the only restriction concerning it is that children affect ed by the disease shall not attend school for hygienic reasons.
 Dr. Goldberger does not recom- mend medicinal treatment and claims that all that is necessary to affect a cure is to correct the diet. He ad- vocates large quantities of fresh milk. eggs, peas and beans, meat. bread and butter, with the occasional use of other vegetables, fruits, organges, lemons, etc.
 With reference to doctors and med icine company that advertise cures, Dr. Garrison says:
 None of them has any treatment that is not known to the medical profession, and the public is hereby warned, and especially those suffer- ing from pellagra, that no physician or medical company offers more in the way of curative remedy or prophylactic measure than is set forth in the bulletin issued by the public health service. at Washington, written by Dr. Goldberger.' Some physicians seemingly have good suc- cesss with one drug while others claim to have no success with the same drug, but are able to cure pel- lagra with another drug. The ex- perience of the United States public health service and the Arkansas state board of health leads 10 the conclu- sion that a remedy that is beneficial to one may not necessarily be bene- ficial to another. but the entire med ical profession is agreed that the proper diet is essential and good re- suits will follow it's correction in al- most every case if the diagnosis is made early, and no physician is suc- oessful in the treatment of many cases with the administration of any drug or drugs unless the diet is cor rected.'

GROCERIES CAUSE . OF NEGRO TRAGEDY
Dan Nixon Stabbed to Death on Bell Plantation
 by Dan Coatie.

Dan Nixon, negro, was cut in the throat and almost instantly killed yes terday morning. on the Bell planta- ton. ajbout three miles from the free bridge, after a quarrel about grocer ies with another negro naTed Dan Coatie.
 Coatie, who is accused of the crime, made his escape and is now being sought by the officers, to answer a charge of murder.
 Jacob Coatie, step-father of the sc- cused man. was arrested by Consta- ble Clint Green at his home on the Bell place, and after hearing before Justice of the Peace J. A. Frazier, was ordered held in the county jail without bond, on a charge of being an accessory after the fact.
 Constable Green and pr. Harry Williams, the coroner, went to the scene of the killing immediately upon receipt of the notice of the affair, and Dr. Williams conducted an in- quest. It developed from the Investi- gation that young Coatie and Nixon, who have had a ssries of quarrels lol oSH'O fudy s psi~l, qu"l ieASd "toa'ii yesterday morning. The quarrel terminated in the killing of Nixon. Young Coatie then wens to the home of his step-father, where the old man helped him wash the blood off his face, caused by a wound alleged to have been inflicted by Nixon, with a hammer. Then the old man gave the accused money and advised him to make his escape, according to. the charge filed against him.
 Deputy Sheriff J. l.. McBurnett spent the afternoon in the vicinity of he crime, seeking trace of Dan Coatie, but up to last night the negro had succeeded in evading arrest.
 Deputy Sheriff ]. l.. McBurnett Deputy Sheriff I. W. Baldwin and Deputy Constable Jim Reidinger con- tinued their search for the negro all day and until midnight last night when they quit for a rest. They will take up the trail again this morning.

is entirely familiar with existing po-
litical conditions and requirements.
He should be as fit for the presiden-
tial job as Gen. Goethals is for the
canal job. If Mr. Wilson is not to
be his own successor, the man who
succeeds him viii have work in hand
requiring an expert and veteran.
Wilson policies will have to be re-
vised and some new ones inaugu-
rated. Our domestic affairs will GER
tainiy be subjected to sharp revision,
while our foreign affairs as the re-
suit OF the war will have to be very
nicely adjusted.
Gen. Goethals' work at Panama has
not been, because II could not be, too
highly praised. He has displayed
there a combination of qualities that
fitted the assignment to a T. A great
engineer and a most competent ad-
ministrator appeared in the same
person; and he met the full require
ments OF task OF worldwide inn
portance, and easily the most mo-
mentous OF its kind undertaken in
modern times.
But the suggestion OF. shift from
that task by the Americans now en-
ployed in the Canal Zone has moth
ing of logical or persuasive nature,
and ii might not conduce to either
the usefulness or the happiness of
the man who has found both use
fulness and happiness in a field in
line with his education and expo
rience. Politics is a game about
which Gen. Goethais knows nothing,
and could not at his time of life hope
to learn to play as President of the
United States.

The Three Americas,

In accordance with an act of Con-
gress meeting of representatives
of the three Americas will be held
in this city May 10 to consider
means of Strengthening the financial
relations between the nations of the
western hemisphere. Invitations
have been extended to all the coun-
tries of South and Central America
to participate in what is expected to
be the most important conference
held in this hemisphere since the
first pan-American congress of 1880.
under the inspiration of Secretary
Blaine. The present abnormal world
conditions serve to lay upon the
people of this hemisphere an obliga-
ton to draw closer together in
every way; and the financial confer
ence in May presents an opportu-
nifty for practical cooperation along
lines beyond the immediate scope of
this meeting.
The war now raging in Europe,
which in effect, through retaliatory
and extraordinary blockades, cuts
off the western hemisphere from
trade and intercourse, forces the
Americas to get together for mutual
protection and commerce. This tre-
mendous world disaster thus prom
ises to compel a true trade union of
the western republics, and advantage
should be taken Of the opportunity
thus afforded to strengthen rela-
tions, to broaden understanding, to
deepen mutual respect and to make
the Americas one in spirit and en-
terprise
Conditions in Mexico, deplorable
to the last degree, furnish an addi-
tional incentive to the other Ameri-
can countries to get into closer har-
mony. Instead of making pan
American matters worse this great
misfortune has already had the ef-
feet of bringing about a better un-
derstanding on the part of Mexico's
fellow members of the western fam
lily OF nations. 1t furnishes an ad-
ditional reason for extending the
scope OF the May conference, called
specifically to discuss financial re-
lations.
The western republics can establish
trade on basis of profitable ex-
change, with assurance of sufficient
markets for the surplus goods OF
each. At present there are lacking
suitable monetary facilities, which
may be provided as result of the
May meeting; but there is chiefly
lacking appreciation of the needs Of
the various countries and knowledge
of the habits and methods and ideals
Of the peoples. The May conference
should be followed by many others,
to correct these conditions and sup
ply these needs, and from them
must spring true pan-American
spirit that will make for the pros
perity and advancement of the
western world.

Gen. Goethals and the Presidency

and should not Gen. Goethals be
tie republican nominee for President
rext year II not. then twenty
thousand Americans residing in the
Panama Canal Zone want the reason
Why. The reason is a sood one, and
ee.eEs two points.
IN the n-st place, Gen. GoethaIs is

mun;tv walks continued. Few men
believed bat that they would be sus-
pended when winter came But the
walkers did not falter. Sundays OF
snow, biting wind. sleet and cold rain
found them walking. happy and light
hearted, over roads deep in mud or
rough with frozen clods and through
fields and woods with ground covered
with snow or ice. The aggregate OF
the miles covered on these conf
rnunity walks now mounts well into
the hundreds and the walkers can be
counted up to about 10000. The walk
ers, drawn together and held to-
sether by their interest in trails and
woods, have in most cases come to
know each other well and hundreds
of friendships have been established.
The management of the hikes s-tor
such the Wanderlustcrs like to call
these walks-has been systematized
by leaders who have been developed
out of the ranks of the walkers by
reason of their enthusiasm and pc
culiar fitness for the work. but all
forms of organization, as that word
is usually understood, have been
avoided Various plans for eleeting
officers and regulating membership
have from time to time been sug-
gested, but have been quietly put
away.
Many of the veteran hikers have
stood by the colors-for the Wan
derlusters now have a set of colors
and recruits are constantly teing
added. When fine and fair weather
comes these irregular columns of
women. men and children that swing
across the county on Sundays and
holidays will probably be miles in
length. The invitation is kept open
by the Wanderlusters to all persons
who want to walk with them. And
this brings up subject that may be
surprising to some persons. When
the invitation to walk was spread
broadcast before the public there
was belief in a number of minds
that unruly, or uncivil or otherwise
undesirable persons would attach
themselves to the crowds and that
the movement would be killed in that
way. The pioneers in the plan
reasoned that persons of that kind
did not want to join with quiet peo-
pie on long walks that often meant
considerable fatigue. The reasoning
was sound. Perhaps at rare inter
walls an undesirable person has
joined the walking throng, but find
ing the atmosphere uneongenia1 and
the work hard that person disap-
pears.
