FARM CAMPAIGN SAVED ARKANSAS
 jB0DMAN STATES
(Continued from Page i.s

"The success of the movement" Ee continued, twas due to ths fact thas the business inter sts followed every suggestion Of the farmer and dld Aot attempt to dictate to them. rhis is as it should be-
 When the movement first started it met opposition from the cotton planters and supply merchants, Mr. Bodman declared. These mon, he said, a; first thought it wf's a1ta3on- istic to cotton. They like others, he sa id, soon changed their minds.
 'In this movemsnt it is more inn pcrtant to line up the business men and banks than the farmers,' he said. "Tha systems of banks and supply houses" is wh1t is holding up the hands of the farmer. This is why the annual earning of the Iowa farmer is $500 and the annual earn ing of our farmer is but $-0o in soil twice as rich. We need better farm ing, more cotton on less acreage and better attention to farming methods. It is better to go ahead and bring this statq of affairs about than it is to wait and be forced to act, for we will be forced to- and that time will come soon.
 Banks Must Help.
 "That bank that does not take an active interest in agricultural affairs is going backward" he continued. MT. Bodman then followed with lengthy discussion of the manner in which Memphis and other cities fell in be- hind the Arkansas movement. He praised the farm bureau work recanI- ly started by the Memphis Business Mems club and stated that For Smith, Little Rock and Pine Bluff would follow in the wake of this commercial organization.
 "The bankers and business men," he declared, must go down into their jeans, and as those hardflsted Memphians did, come to the aid of the section and promote this work. It IS a matter of necessity"
 The Years PrOgress.
 J. E. Boyce, president of the Jef- ferson County Farmers club; w. R. Beattie, of the Cotton Belt, and H. F. Kapp, of Camden, next spoke.
 In Secretary Blooms brisf ad- dress two interesting facts were brought out. Thesa were that build- ing permits in Pine Bluff in the last twelve months reached the surpris- ing total of $1S5,O00, and that indus trial plants valued at $2o0.ooo had been brought to Pine Bluff in the past ten months. MT Blooms review was impromptu. Later he will pre- sent a written report of the activi- ties of the Chamber of Commerce during the past year.
 MT. Bloom emphasized the impor- tance of the agricultural work car ried on under the direction of the Chamber of sComperce, characteriz- ing it as the most important work undertaken during the year. The Chamber of Commerce, he declared

ceived by President Yuan shi Kai,

said he brought back no demands on
China and would not present for fur
ther consideration at this time group
five of the original demands, which
were deferred for future consideration
at the time the others were accepted
by the Chinese government.
This group relates to the employ
ment of Japanese advisers in political,
financial and military affairs, the EN-.
ployment of Japanese to reorganize
the police force, the purchase from
Japan of munitions of war and the
propagation of Buddhism in China by
Japanese subjects.

London, Nov. "a. "A second categor.
ical denal was. given by the British
admiralty to German statements that
British hospital ships are being used
for other than hospital purposes.
The announcement says there are
;forty:two and not seventy hospital
ships plying to and from the Medi-
terranean and that they carry only
sick or wounded. soldiers. nurses and
members of the medical staff and
medical stores. ,s...
All the ships, the admiralty says,
are ballasted to secure safety, but they
are not deeply laden. They are paint
ed, it is asserted, as required by the
Geneva convention. The announce
ment concludes:
Previous experience suggests this
series of falsehoods foreshadows at
tacks on British hospital ships by Ger

WAR LOAN BONDS

London, Nov. 24.-To attract larg.

ing classes, the government purposes
to issue war loan bonds of the value
of 91 ($5) or multiples thereof, bear
ing per cent interest.
In making this announcement in
the house of commons Reginald Nc
Kenna, chancellor Of the exchequer,
said subscriptions to war loan vouch-
ers-the plan previously adopted to at
tract small subscribers-had proved
disappointing.
These subscriptions aggregated only
25,C00,000.
The chancelly emphasized strongly
the urgent necessity, in the interest of
both themselves and the state, that
persons now enjoying exceptional
wages should save.
"EXtravagant expenditure in any
class cannot be tolerated." he con-
tinued.

spent $750.000 in chartering and sup
plying neutral steamers with coal and

and asserted that it was prepared
to prove the charge-in the opening
of the trial, on charges Of conspiracy,
Of DR.. Karl Buenz, managing director
of the Hamburg-American line and
three of his subordinates.
Roger B. Wood, assistant district
attorney, asserted that DR.. Buenz and
others conspired and rode roughshod
over state laws and treaties of the
United States as contemptuously as
if those laws and treaties had been
mere scraps of paper"
William Rand, of counsel for the de-
fense, notified Mr.. Wood that the de-
fense would withdraw that part of the
previous admission pertaining to the
alleged connection of Captain X. Boy
Ed, German naval attache, with the
acts charged by the government.
This part of the admission made by
the defendants stated that Captain
Boyd had been consulted regarding
the sending of steamships with sup
plies to German sea raiders and that
the work had been carried on largely
under the naval attaches direction.

BRITAIN DENIES BLOCKADE
Announcement May Mean Greece Has
Accented Demands.


Accepted Demands.
London, Nov 24.-The foreign Of
fice states no Greek ships are being
seized or held up in the ports Of the
United Kingdom and that no blockade
of Greek ports has been instituted or
is in force.
No application of the foreign Of
fee statement Is obtainable in Official
quarters. The universal deduction is
that the Greek government has sat
isfied the British demands submitted
by Earl Kitchener, secretary for war,
who was In Athens last week. 1t is
assumed Greece has furnished guaran-
tees Of the safety of the Anglo-Erench
expeditionary force.
It is believed the announcements

blockade of Greece were premature, in
that they presented the provisional
Intentions of the entente allies as
accomplished facts.
