ARKANSAS SHOWING THE WORLD.
A Continuation of Arkansas on Wheels
 Train l9l6 Tour
Through the Sunny South on Two Hundred Thousand
 Dollar Special Train Seen by Brinkleyite.

the train into Richmond. Va., and to my real disappointment l saw in this historic old capitol city of the South about the least show of real progress and the toughest, toughest people on the entire trip. Richmond was go-. ing thro' the throes of a great season of debuuch and it looked as if everything and everybody was whiskey soaked. The state-s wide prohibition was to become effective on Nov. 1st and the whiskey shops were apparently trying to unload their stocks thro' every possible avenue. Surely my recollections of Rich mond are anything but pleasant.
 Leaving Richmond on a special coach, on the morning of Oct. 22nd, our party went via Ches- peak & Ohio down to Newport News and there boarded the steamer Virginia for a trip across across and down the worlds famed land locked Hamp- ton Road. Pulling out of New port News great ocean steamers were there from practically all over the world. To the star board as our steamer swung in- to action we came close to the world famed war prize, the English vessel. the Apiam, cap- tured by the German naval raid- CTS off the East coast of Africa and brought by the doughty German Commander to this port to save until peace is declared. At the docks immense freight steamers were loading with mules and horses for Europe and the strange part about them all was that they had their names painted out and no sign to indi- cate what or who the steamer was. l noticed tho that every steamer of neutral nation took particular pains to paint the flag and also the name of their coun- try all over their sides and it was explained to me, as meaning that they did not wish to be mis- judged by a hostile sub marine.
 The steamship ride up Hamp- tor Roads crossing the identi- cal spot where the deadly con- fiict between the Merimac and Monitor was fought was a most delightful one and to the land lubbers" from Arkansas and particularly the Brinkley delega- tion it was one of the most en- joyable days of the entire tour. We could see away off to the larboard big U. s. dread-naught and old Fort Monroe, with her big guns. guarding the entrance to this wonderful land locked harbor.
 Leaving the steamer at Nor folk the party hurried to the Ferry steamer on Elizabeth river for Portsmouth where they took cars for the U. s. Navy Yards. At the Navy Yard were number of Uncle Sam's greatest war vessels. Among them the Dele ware. Utah and several other of the dread-naught class be- sides number of torpedo fleet. By special courtesy and order the Arkansas party were per- permitted to go aboard the dread-naught, Utah.
 Returning to Norfolk a special electric train carried the party to Cape Henry where we went
The Brinkley argus., 1916-11-10

Last week I wrote of the Ark ansas on Wheels tour and we were in Atlanta when I left off.
 Leaving Atlanta at an early hour in the morning the big train ran out in South Carolina and the South Carolinans were ap- parantly dubious about Arkansas being able to show 'em" until they would finger around and ask all kind of questions. An 80 year old lady was the first person aboard the train at Spartans- burg. South Carolina. and as she left the train she said: Pm so thankful that have been able to go thro' that train-it's the most wonderful sight I ever saw and I'll spend the rest of my days in telling others to move to Arkansas. My blood IS in Arkansas and my heart is there as well, and oh! how 1 wish 1 could spend my last days on this old earth in that great state. One of the men on the train pointed vou out and tells me that VOL are the man who planned this wonderful train and unique way of advertising your state. 1 want to say to you that you are bringing a blessing not only to your own people but to thousands of others of the old state, like myself, who have their blood in Arkansas, and whose hearts, prayers and praise are with you" Fine old lady-fne sen- timent and spirit.
 But the train slips along slow ly and at a schedule at times approaching the speed of the Pine City Limited, all on account of the terrific floods that a few months ago tore away miles of tracks and practically every railroad bridge in the Carolinas.
 At Gastonia, N. C., the last stop before reaching Charlotte, N. c. that afternoon, we found the greatest small city on the entire tour. There were fully ', 500 people in to see and greet the Arkansas train. They had come in wagons, trolley, rail- road, autos. and every other way. There were 25,000 school chil- dren formed in line with their teachers in command. The Mayor of Gastonia and the Chamber of Commerce officials and Reception Committees were waiting to extend a greeting to the Arkansians and incidentally to boost their own state. They are some boosters. They had issued big posters, printed and distributed them at their own expense, telling of the coming of the big train and the day was a regular gala day in the city of Gastonia.
 Here a delegation of Charlotte Chamber of Commerce officials boarded the train to line up the party for the reception in Char lotte that night. Charlotte, N. O., the native city of my father back in 1885, proved to be the livliest and most progressive city of the entire route. They had the real boost spirit and started in to intimidate we of the Arkansas party but before we had gone far Dr. Waldrip had them hanging their jaws, opening their eyes and shouting for Arkansas.

REPLY TO LATEST
NOTE ON LUS|TAN|A
Representatives Will Be Sent as
Soon as Kaiser Takes Up
Matter.

The German governments reply to
the final demands Of the United
States for disav0wal OF the Lusi :
tania sinking will be dispatched as
soon as the Berlin foreign office can
get in conference with the Kaiser,
according to unofficial advices to
Washington today. This word came
from Amsterdam.
At the same time officials had be-
fore them news dispatches from Ber-
lin that Col. F.. NJ House the Presi-
dents confidential adviser, had been
given assurances that the German
government will. send a reply to the
Lusikfnia note which II hopes will
sottt all submarine controversies.
Administration officials efused to
comment on these favorable reports
from Germany. They preferred to
await the receipt Of the German reply
itself. as it has Invariably happeued
in the past that the forecasts of the
German governments notes have
been more favorable than the notes
themselves.
The State Department has put the
matter squarcly up to Berlin. one
official said today, and It is up to
the German government to say
whether friendly relations between
the two governments arc to continue
1t was considered significant that the
Amsterdam advices today said the Ber-
lin government had put the Lusitana
case directly up to the Kaiscr. This
was taken as an indication that through
the communications from this Govern
ment and Count Won Bernstorf'. and
the conversations with Colonel House.
the Berlin foreign office had been
brought to understand that the United
States Government has said its final
word.
The warnings sounded nv President
Wilson in his Cleveland and Pittsburgh

terance of a high State department Of

it has been for months. and TIE coun-

Grease and oil can very easily be
