Making a Chanqeless Ink.

In shops where it is damp or chemi- cal fumes are present it Is usually diff ficult to cause labels to stick to bottles or cans. An ink for use on such con- tainers is made as follows: Shellac, 20 grams; dissolve it in hot solution of borax containing 30 grams of borax to 400 cubic centimeters of water; filter while hot and add a solution made of aniline black 8 grams, tannin 0.3 gram, picric acid 01 gram and ammo mia 15 grams, in water 10 grams. It will be found that this ink works nice- ly and resists the usual chemical and corrosive fumes.

 At first it looked like a holiday frolic, when the first gun was fired. The first declaration of war came from Secretary of State Hodges, who issued a proclamation that it would be only a little skirmish, and that at the proper time he would transfer his base of operations a couple of rooms north, and in- vite the present occupant to resume his law practice in Camden.
 Then out of the Athens of Arkansas. reverberating through the orchards of Ben Davis and Arkansas Blacks, came a re- sounding discharge from Dr. Brough's Busy Bertha. It was a discordant note in the Hodges

 For a while there was only desultory firing, while a con- stantly increasing host of candi- dates began assembling on the firing line.
 These candidates readily divided themselves into three classes, the Announced, the Probables and the Mentioned.
 One of the interesting features of this modern Armageddon was that there appeared to be no Allies every fellow was for himself.
 While the ranks of the Prob ables were being swelled daily by new recruits, they manifest ed a disposition to remain neutral as long as possible, as- serting that they were opposed to long and expensive cam paigns.
 Inside information is that the Ministries of Finance have found it difficult in several instances to float a war loan sufficient to carry on the campaign. Lack of funds is reliably as- serted to be a helpful assistant to neutrality.
 While Brough a n d Hodges were maneuvering for an open ing, Charles E. Taylor, Chief Burgomaster of Little Rock, tossed a bomb into camp from his Zeppelin, and it rained splinters for a week.
 Scarcely had the echoes died away when from the middle south came the boom of another big gun, whose smoke wreaths spelled across the lowering sky the name of TOM McRAE.
 There have been some evil dences of the possible use of poisonous gases in the trenches, but these methods are generally discredited as in violation of the established rules of political war fare.
 The use of submarines is also in disfavor. and schooners will probably be ruled out. as it is understood that all thus far entered for the war are tee-total- CTS, and the majority of them adherants of the Baptist faith.

IN ANOTHER DIRECTION

On Tuesday the ARGUS motor car headed for a trip across the St. Francis County, prairies and big creek bottom county of Lee County and just as on the pre- vious day on the Holly Grove trip the corn crops were show ing up fine. The rice fields were in the finest condition.
 Down at Moro the farmers and merchants were all smiles. Manager D. H. Smith, of the Moro Supply Co.,, stated to the ARGUS man that they had the best prospects ever known. That they had even done more cash business this year than ever before.
 Leaving Moro about3 o'clock with black clouds lowering low over the earth and a storm threatening, the car was headed down into the Walnut Lake country to take a new route home The throttle was opened so that the car went skinning along at a 20 mile gait. It was a race with the storm which was closing in on us fast and while we enjoyed the pretty country and splendid road we wanted to get just a little closer to Brink ley before we stopped to put up the storm curtains, put the mud chains on. etc. The road was ideal except a bad bridge across Walnut Lake. The rain and storm caught us 5 miles out of Moro and we stopped at the pretty farm of P. F. Elledge until the worst was over. Mrs. Elledge and the boys. who are spending the summer there, very kindly made us feel at home. The crops are the finest ever known. Mir. Elledge has in about 200 acres.

CONTENDING FOR THE SAME
PRINCIPLE

The government of the United
States and the Imperial German gov
ernment are contending for the same
great object, have long stood together
in Irging the very principles, upon
which the government of the United
States now so solemnly insists. They
are both contending for the freedom
of the seas. The government of the
United States will continue to contend
for that freedom, from whatever
quarter violated, without compromise
and at any cost. 1t invites the prac-
ticed cooperation of the Imperial
German government at this time
when cooperation may accomplish
most and this great common object
be most strikingly and effectively
achieved.
The Imperial German government
expresses the hope that this object
may be in some measure accomplish
ed even before the present war ends.
1t can be. The government of the
United States not only feels obliged
to insist upon it, by whomsoever vio-

New York, July 24.-Supreme
Court Justice Philbin has granted an
order, directing the state to show
cause why the motion for a new trial
should not be granted Charles Becker,
who is sentenced to die Wednesday,
The order is returnable Wednesday
before Justice Ford. The state will
oppose the motion.
The effort to save Becker's life was
made when w. B. Cochran, his cOun-
sci, placed before Philbin what he
claimed was newly discovered evi-
dence. Cochran stated that by his
silence in keeping his promise to
shield the late Timothy Sullivan,
Becker "has placed his feet on the
scaffold." Cochran declared Becker
was willing to face a cross examina-
ton without any limitations, or condi-
tions. Among the statements made
in the plea are afidavits in which it
is claimed Becker was framed up"

London, July 24.-Austrians and
Germans are driving their attacks
against the Russians defending War
saw and at some points they have i'm
portant advantages.
The attackers are operating, how
ever, through a country where the
retiring troops have laid to waste the
country and where the poor roads are
little suited for artillery movements.
The Vienna official statement
claims heavy losses to the Russians in
South Poland and on the upper Bug
river, where it says the Russians at
tackled with strong forces but were
repulsed.
In Courland the Germans claim to
be pushing the Russians. Heavy fight
ing continues on the Isonzo front,
where Italy claims her forces are
meeting with success, but Austria
discounts the claims. Italy says Aus
tria lost 1900 men who were taken
prisoners. In the west there has been
only unimportant changes.

any essential of fundamental right of

CAN'T ACCEPT THE PROPOSE
TION

The government of the United

friendly spirit in which it is made,
cannot accept the suggestion of the
Imperial German government that
certain vessels designated and agreed
upon which shall be free on the seas
now Illegally prescribed. The very
agreement, would, by implication,
subject other vessels to illegal at
tack, and would be a curtailment and
therefore an abandonment of the
principles for which this government
contends and which in times of calmer
counsels every nation would concede
as of course.

In the meantime the very value
which this government sets upon the

rels it to press very solemnly upon
the Imperial German government the
necessity for scrupulous observance
of neutral rights in this critical mat
ter. Friendship itself prompts it to
say to the Imperial government that
repetition by the commanders of
German naval vessels of acts in con-
travention of these rights must be re-
garded by the government of the

AMERICA IS DISAPPOINTED

The government of the United
States is, however, keenly disap-
pointed to find that the Imperial Ger
man government regards itself as in
large degree exempt from the obliga-
ton to observe these principles, even
where neutral vessels are concerned,
by what it believes even where neu-
trail vessels are concerned, by what it
believes the policy and practice of the
government of Great Britain to be in
the present war with regard to neu-
tral commerce, The Imperial Ger
man government will readily under
stand that the government of the
United States cannot discuss the
policy of the government of Great
Britain with regard to neutral trade
except with that government itself
and that it must regard the conduct
of other belligerent governments as
irrelevant to any discussion with the
Imperial German government of what
this government regards as grave and
uniustifiable violations of the rights
of AAmerican citizens by German
naval commanders. Illegal and in
human acts however justifable they
may be thought to be against an en-
.emy who is believed to have acted in
contravention of law and humanity,
are manifestly indefensible when they
deprive neutrals of their acknowl-
edged rights, particularly when they
violate the right of life itself. If a
belligerent cannot retaliate against
an enemy without injuring the lives
of neutraIs, as well as their property,
humanity, as we'll as justice and a
due regard for the dignity of neutral
powers, should dictate that the prac-
tice be discontinued. If persisted in
it would in such circumstances con-
stitute an objectionable offense
against the sovereignty of the neu-
trail nation affected. The government
of the United States is not unmind-
full of the evtr" ordinary conditions

alterations of ca I. stance and meth

THREE HUNDRED BODIES RE-
COVERED

Chicago, July "a, 1O:45 a. m.-
Three hundred bodies were recovered
by 9:45. The excursionists crowded
aboard, when the boat slowly listed.
The officers shouted a warning. The
hawsers holding the boat to the dock
snapped a moment later. Amid the
screams of the passengers, the steam
er turned over on one side and fioated
to midstream.
1t is feared that scores of women
and children caught in the cabin were
drowned withoHt a chance to escape.
Life preservers were thrown from
the steamship Theodore Roosevelt,
which had docked across the river.
Scores of persons clung to these until
they We're picked up by river craft.
The city fire boats, police launches,
life boats and other steamers of every
description rushed to the rescue. A
hole was cut through the side of the
Eastland's lower deck and bodies
taken out.
Many passengers escaped by jump
ing onto the dock; others climbed to
the bottom and sides of the overturn-
ed steamer and clung there until they
were rescued.
Captain Harry Peterson, command
ing the vessel, said he was about
ready to pull out when he noticed the
boat listing and ordered the gang
ways nearest the docks opened to
give the people a chance to reach
safety.
