by any possibility be claimed in this
case. People appear to overlook the fact
that the dead men were soldiers, and
that In making their night raid on Lon
don they were carrying out the orders
of chiefs whom every instinct of honor
and duty compelled them to obey. No
one can suggest that il would have been
possible for the Zeppelin crew to re-
fuse to take out their ship, or, when
they had taken it out, not to perform
the program assigned to them. None
can be more anxious than we are to
bring to justice the criminals in high
places who harried Belgium and north
ern France, but there must be reason
and proportion in these matters, and
care must be taken that the vengeance
falls on the really guilty people. We do
not want the instruments to suffer, and
to allow those who put them in motion
to go free.
Beyond This, we recognize with salts

1t Is necessary to eek the enemy's

efforts detectives that can certainly be
obtained, and that will yield fruitful
results. and to practice the highest
economy OF forces and man power
compatible with holding the enemy
along the whole line.
The war energies even Of the least
exhausted nations are painfully de-
veloped and IRE mo- unlimited. Every
enterprise must be judged by it's fruits
n by Its cost. All our strength right
ly applied will be needed to attain the
final goal. The waste of man power or
it's improvident application at any
point cannot but delay the general VIC
tory.
1t is. therefore. very satisfactory
that the strong and decided impression
which both the Russian and Italian of

increasingly tend to concentrate the
storm OF war upon that reeiing empire.
With Austria beaten. Turkey becomes

Where are the bards of yesterday, the

years? In recent campaigns there has
been little TO stir them in the quality OF
issues. the personality of candidates, or
the temper OF the American people. Per-
haps the principal reason for disappear
ance of the campaign song is found in the
tact that the generation is enlotionally
cramped by grinding pressure of fierce
competition to succeed; of ffercer compete
ton to survive. And it's political leaders,
with rare exceptions, are not men of pic

PROPERTY OWNERS
PLANNING MORE
Street PAVING
Alabama Street District Elk
pected to Be Organized in
Little While.

For the first time in approximately
two years. no permanent street paw
ing is being done in Pine Bluff, al
though the formation of a street pay
ing improvement district. and of 8
sidewalk and curb district. is under
way.
The Kaw Paving company has COM
plsted the work of paving Cherry
street, Laurel street, Fifteenth avenue
and the several shorter stretches of
streets in those two districts. and has
made repairs to the pavement in
South Main street.
The paving of Laurel and Cherry
streets, and of Fifteenth avenue, has
added a considerable area of asphalt
street to the city, and has greatly inn
proved not only the appearance of
those streets, but the value Of prop
erty in and near those thorough
fares. 1t has supplied better means
of transportation trough very large
section Of the city, while those who
drive or ride for pleasure can now
enjoy themselves in this way without
having to take to the country roads.
The belief is expressed that organi-
cation will be perfected within the
next two weeks or SO, of the district
now being formed, for the paving of
Alabama street between Eleventh and
Seventeenth, and of the avenues be-
tween Eleventh and Seventeenth, and
of the avenues between and including
Eleventh and Seventh, extending to
Tennessee and Alabama streets from
Main and State streets. This district.
if it is carried out. will complete the
paving with asphalt Or other perma-
nent material. of considerable area
again, this time in what might be
termed one entire neighborhood. As
a result, that vicinity, already one OF
the handsomest residence sections Of
the city, will be enhanced in attrac-
tiveness, in great degree.
There is talk of movements for the
formation of two other street paving
district. one in East Pine Bluff and
the other west of Main street, but so
far this talk is indefinite. not even
the preliminary steps having been
taken.
