TO THE BOYS AND GIRLS OF
 PINE BLUFF

Dear Boys ansl Ciils:--
 Won't you help us save the lives of these starving little babies. They have mt done anything to die for.
 There are twenty million American boys and girls all over this country, and we can form a RELIEF ARMY bigger than all the armies fighting in Europe put together and save these babies lives.
 Fifty thousand of us are doing it now,- boys and girls of whole towns are at work, ,- and we have saved lot of lives already. It makes you feel good to think you have saved baby's life.
 This is the way we do it. Five days each week we meet at school. Here we bring money, food, and new clothes, and once a month the princi- pal sends them to these starving babies and saves their lives.
 It 'seasy to get the money. Father and mother and the neighbors are glad to give us work -- 1t helps them. We don't BEG money = we EARN it. We shovel snow, sweep paven1ents, run errands, split kind1ine, sell papers, sew, wash dishes,- do any thing to help.- and get paid for it.
 It s easy for any one to earn one cent amonth. A lot of us earn twenty hve cents and more. Then lot of us give some of our candy money and movie money, and some of us give some of our savings-bank money tor If WE were starving we would want some one to send us sonnetI,;r,o to eat mighty quick. So far we have given amounts to f.q month for each of us.

BY Secretary of War Baker, following
a conference with President Wilson
and Maj.gen. Tasker H. Bliss, acting
chief Of staff In the absence of Maj
gen. Hugh L. Scott. The policy was
adopted on the recommendation OF
Gen. Funston, sent TO Secretary Ba-
ker and urging the necessity OF imme-
date action in Mexico.
There Is no intention, however, OF
withdrawing Gen. Pershing's COM
mand, said Mr.. Baker in a statement
In which he sketched the plans OF the
administration for handling the situa-
ton In Mexico. IL was intimated that
the United States viii maintain its
status in Mexico until Carranza shows
ability to crush Villa.
Conditions Force Change Of Plans.
This redisposition OF the American
frooDs now in Mexico and guarding
the Ines of communication between
Gen. Pershing and the bases on the
American side of the border, has been
ordered upon the recommendation OF
Gen. Funston, and in full recognition
OF the conditions confronting us. said
Secretary Baker. The chief purpose
or the move is to give the troops an
opportunity to recuperate after an ex'
tremeiy arduous campaign In a coun-
try that Is most difficult to maneuyer
IN. and under circumstances involving
heavy strain on the men and mounts.

Although this question of redistri-
buting the troops in Mexico occupied
much of the attention OF the war de-
partment yesterday, officials continu.
ed the work of searching for informa.

contradictory as ever, the most SEN

from Presidio, Texas, across the river
from Oiinga, Mexico. This stated that

place that villa, with 200 OF his follow
ers, has been seen at Augu Chill, 100
miles south OF the border There are
