"That the Baraca Class has lost a
faithful and conscientious member

THAT to HIM this was a bright and
beautiful world. He enjoyed living
in it; and he strove to do his part in
the upbuilding of our city morally.
He was q young man of good
morals, Of gentle manners, and was
admired for his many sterling quail
ties.
THAT this class realizes its great
loss in the death of our beloved
brother, for we know he was an ex-
ample for many of the young men of
our city.
ut is to the class indeed sad that
one of her members so full of ability
to do in the uplift of the community
and of 50 strong personal character
should be stricken down so early in
life. But, we humbly abide by the
wish of the Master, in whom he put
his trust, in calling home our be-
loved brother and friend.

brother and shall cherish his memory
as n of the most active and one of
the most loyal members of our
organization; and we hereby tender
our condolences to his b~ereaved
family and friends, and request that
a copy of these resolutions be

furnished the various newspapers of
Leflore county.

 The sub-heutenant was placed un- der arrest He denied knowing that the machine gun had been turned on the biplane but admitted the rifle fire.

 How far the present demands on China bv Japan may be considered as in- ringing on these principles is a ques- tOn which can be answered only by knowledge of the details of the ne- cotiations, something officials here are unwilling to discuss because of the in iurction of secrecy placed on the mat ter by the Japanese government.
 Officials here recently have appear ed optimistic over the negotiations in- dcating the belief that the difficulties at Peking may be satisfactorily ad- justed without requiring further dip lomatic correspondence between the United States and Japan. President Wilson already has declared the re- ports that the United States would lend assistnce to China are without foundation.
