LITTLE ROCK AIDS
STRICKEN NEWPORT
MAYOR APPEALS FOR HELP
GREAT SUFFERING RESULTS
FROM LACK OF FOOD IN
FLOODED DISTRICT.

Little Rock, Aug. 25.-An appeal
was received in Little Rock Tuesday
afternoon from the mayor of New
port for assistance, on account of the
flood which has overwhelmed the CITY.
The entire city is under water, and
great suffering is caused in conse-
quence of people being drievn to their
second floors, the sewage system being
washed out, the electric light plant
put out of commission, the water sys-
tenn rendered useless, and all bust
ness suspended.
Through the cooperation of the
railroad company, the Chamber of
Commerce, the city of Little Rock
and other interests, large shipment
of bread, eggs, meats, and other food
was gotten together and started for
Newport on the p. m. train. Upon
the request of the mayor of Newport,
also Governor Hays asked the consent
of the war department to send tents
of the Arkansas National Guard to
the flood sufferers, to be used as soon
as a spot of ground can be found
large enough to pitch them on.
This is the most severe flood that
has ever been known at Newport, and
the first severe flood in many years.

department lawyers declared numer-
Gus precedents and decisions estab-
lishsd that only the actual presence
of con,av at the time of attack
could alter the rule of visit and
search.
The theory that the Arabic may
have attempted to ram the submarine
was secuted by naval afficers, who
said the prevailing impression that a
large passenger vessel could ram a
submarine was erroneous. Officials
also thought that no vessel of large
tonnage ever would attempt, especial
ly with passengers aboard, to take
such risk.

man WHO STOLE FOR
CHILDREN is RELEASED

Upon an order made by County
Judge ]. w Holt today Mat Hutcher,
the Benton township man who has
been serving a sentence for petit lar
ceny, was released from the county
Jail Hutcher admitted the theft of
some articles of food from a neigh
Dor, but claimed he stole because his
children were crying with hunger.
neighbors claim Hutcher had been UNI
willing to work and would not provide
for his family. Before securing his
release today he promised Judge Holt
that he would go to work and earn a
living for his family and that he
would not again be guilty of theft.
An application was made to Cover,
nor Hays for a pardon for Hutcher,
but the governor has not yet acted up
on the petition.

DIPLOMATIC BREAK
SEEMS INEVITABLE
RUPTURE With GERMANY
BELIEVED IMMINENT AS RE-
suit OF LOSS OF TWO AMER
ICANS ON ARABIC.
Special to the Log Cabin Democrat.

Special to the Log Cabin Democrat.
Washington, August 21.-Arrival
today of official dispatches confirming
the loss of two American lives on the
Arabic, the White Star liner sunk
Thursday by a German submarine,
has admittedly strained relations be-
tween the United States and Ger
many almost to the point of rupture.
That the situation is the gravest
with which President Wilson has been
confronted since the war began is the
universal opinion. 1t is considered IN
official quarters practically certain
that a severance of diplomatic rela-
tons between the two nations will be
the result of the incident.
The official dispatches also verify
the first reports that the Arabic was
not being conveyed and that she was
torpedoed without warning.
Washington, Aug 21.-Tension in
creased in official quarters when con-
sular messages forwarding affidavlts
of American survivors of the British
liner Arabic brought definite infor-
nation that the vessel was torpedoed
without warning and that American
lives had been lost.
1t seemed but one point remained
to be cleared up-whether the Arabic
attempted to ram the submarine or
whether a change of the liners
course to assist the British steamer
Dunsley, sinking nearby, was inter
preted by the German submarine
commander as a hostile approach.
The attitude OF the American gov
eminent for the moment is receptive,
anxiously awaiting accurate details
and reserving judgment as to wheth-
err the action was deliberately UNI
friendly" The final decision rests
with President Wilson.
The general trend of comment was
that the American government had
reached the point where 1t must
decide whether it would sever diplo-
matte relations with Germany.
Officials expect Ambassador Ger
ard at Berlin to help ascertain
whether at attack had the sanction
of the German government. Should
Germany offer an explanation, assert
ing there were qualifying circum-
stances. such as an attempt by the
Arabic to escape or ram the suoma-
rine, the disposition on Germany
part to discuss the case probably
would be construed here as disa-
vowal OF any intention deliberately TO
violate the principles for which the
United States has contended.
Great Britain's censorship OF press
DISPATCHES on the disaster created the
impression that perhaps facts were
being withheld which might affect the
case vitality. Official messages, how
ever. are not subject to censorship
and confidence prevailed that wlthlh
another "a hours the circumstances OF
the torpedoing would be definitely
learned.
A report that the Arabic was convoy
ed for a time after leaving Llverpool
led some officials to believe that might
have caused the German submarine
TO omit visit and search and the CIV
ING of warning. Later, however, the
statement of an American survivor,
transmitted officially, said the life
boats drifted for hours, before BENG
rescued. This was regarded as de-
stroying the theory that conveys
could have been in the vicinity. State

WHEN JELLY WILL NOT JELL
Putting Material Back Into Saucepan
Only Serves to Make a Bad
Matter Worse.

When jelly will not jell, and that
happens sometimes, do not turn it
back into a saucepan to cook over.
That breaks the little gelatined glob-
ules that have formed, even though
not enough to make jell, and you
will have at best a sticky, stringy
mess. Instead, take a large dripping
pan, half fill it with water, set the
undisturbed glasses of jelly in it, not
close enough to touch, put into a hot
oven and allow to bake until sufficient
ly jellied. 1t sometimes takes three
quarters Of an hour, but the jelly will
cut as smooth and clear as though
stiff enough at first cooking. A pinch
Of powdered alum will help the jelly
ing process. Now is the time when
the far-seeing housewife, while doing
her preserving, puts up dainty little
glasses of jelly or pots of jam, to be
used for Christmas gifts. For a few
cents little fancy glasses, jars, mugs
or tiny pitchers may be had, which,
filled with homemade jelly and accom-
panied by a Christmas greeting, will
prove very acceptable gifts. Small
cold cream jars and the like, if well
scalded, make excellent containers for
jelly.

SUBSTITUTE FOR ICE BOX
Food May Be Kept Cool In contrIv-
ance Which Is Not at Ali Hard
to Put Together.

A box fitted up to hold food helps
to solve the problem of keeping food
during the heated months. II the
cover Is removed and the bottom Ia
ken out, and the remaining frame
fitted with a shelf or two, and then
stood in "a window that is free from
sun and to which the breeze has &C.
cess, 1t proves quite good cooler.
But its construction Is not complete
until 1t is covered with strips of heavy
cloth, such as burlap, sacking, or fan
mel. These are fastened on top of the
box and hang down over the sides,
completely covering the whole. On
top Of this again is placed dish of
water, with narrow strips of material
laid in it and hanging over on the
cloth covering of the box. The water
oozes through these and keeps the
cloth covering wet, it having been first
given good wetting. The air reach
ing this causes evaporation which in
turn creates cold. The vessel of water
must be kept constantly filled. The
degree Of cold obtained will depend
greatly upon the condition of the at
mosphere. When this is very dry, the
evaporation will be much more rapid,
and the cold will be increased CORE
spondingly.

How to Rcpack Ice Cream.

When the cream is frozen, take off
the cross bar, remove the lid and
dasher, pack the ice cream neatly in
the bottom of the can, replace the lid,
closing the hole in it with a cork. Fill
the tub with salt and ice, pushing
them down to the bottom of the tub
until the tub is filled to it's top and
covering the can; then put over the
freezer piece of carpet or blanket,
to exclude air, and stand in a cold
place for one or two hours to ripen
and harden. When ice cream is fresh
each ingredient is tasted separately;
but after standing one or two hours
they blend and form a pleasant whole.
This is called ripening.
