LABOR COMMISSIONER .OP-
 TIMISTIC OVER FUTURE

Little Rock, Nov. 26.-State Labor Commissioner Clary is very optimistic over the future. He says that in 1914 the labor conditions of the country were 20 per cent below the normal But now in 1915 conditions have practically resumed the normal. and the prospects for an industrial and commercial boom are very gratifying.
 The resumption in industrial plants is most notable. Practically all wood working plants are running full tune, often two shifts to meet the demands of the trade. Some have asked that they be allowed to run overtime, but this has not been permitted, as the hours of labor are prescribed by law. There is some complaint about the shortage of ears in handling the pro duet of the mills.

BANKS REPORTS
 SHOW PROGRESS
Conditions Better than any Time Since European War-Little Rock Banks Especially Show Marked Gains.

Totals are not yet at hand for the whole state, but it is predicted that the reports of Arkansas banks. now being compiled by the State Bank Commissioner for Nov. 10, will show the best condition that has existed since before the European war. Fig ures already available show very mark ed increases in the amount of deposits also decreases in loans. This is true of all the larger cities like Fort Smith Pone Bluff, Helena, Hot Springs, and other places.
 The improvement in Little Rock is very marked. The Little Rock banks report an increase of twenty per cent banks reported total deposits of $13,- banks reportde total deposits of $13,- 836,S08, compared with $10,644,51O on Oct. 31, 1914. The aggregate resour- ces of the reporting banks were $19,- 72s,4s9.
 And these conditions are not spora- die but they are apparently perma- nent, if the views of the citys most capable and best-informed financiers may be accepted.
 One day last week the bank clear ings in Little Rock amounted to $56O.- 470.62, compared with $516,148.97 a year ago.

Wilkesbarre, Pa., Nov. 26.-Bernard T. Walters, of Nesquahoning, Pa., threatens to petition Congress for the enactment of Legislation that will per init man with only one eye to en- list in the United States Marine Corps.
 Though he was rejected at the local recruiting office of the sea-soldiers because of missing left optic, Wal ters insists that his remaining eye is strong and far-seeing enough to do the work of two.
 q wish could think so," explained Sergeant Frank Stubbe, in charge of the recruiting station, but since some thing has run afoul of your port side running light, it would take you twice as long to see your duty as it would an ordinary. Marine"
 True, true," Walters agreed readily but on the other hand, would be able to see only half of the enemy's forces and would naturally be only half as scared as recruit with two eyes"
 But Stubbe could not be convinced, and now Walters wants Congress tao take a hand in the matter.

says, is something spiritual, and force
will be unable to destroy 1t. Profes-
sor Wilkinson is the most profound

Opinions such as these, circulating
among neutral nations must tend to
keep in check those opportunists who
believe this an excellent opportunity
to Join the war SO as to participate In
tha division of the spoils. No neu-
trail statesman, viewing the present
position Of the belligerents with i'm
partial eye. can positively affirm that
the best interests of his own country
will be served by entering the war

Z NEW YORK, March 9.-11 a. m.)
The hesitation OF the neutral pow
ers who are being urged to enter the
war, is sure indication that differ
ences of opinion prevail among neu-
trail statesmen concerning the out
come of the war.
These observers, favorably situa-
ted for knowing the secret under cur
rents that prevail in the European
maelstrom, are undoubtedly confused
by the possibilities for various end
1ngs of the war. The most puZzling
question for neutral statesmanship
anxious to pick winner IN advance,
Is whether Or not the war will end In
draw, or at most, in very moder-
ate victory.
1t Is not probable that many OF the
aeutrals believe either side In the
present struggle will be decisiyely
overwhelmed; while possibilities Of
second war growing out Of an incon-
elusive peace are not as remote as
they might be. II militarism is not
'eerthrown, it may prepare for an
other struggle on a far more scien-
titic scale. and the smaller powers.
