important than many suppose. The committee directs and organ izes the national campaigns, largely formulates the partisan policies, and are responsible more than any other factor, for the election or defeat of the party nominee. The handling of the National conventions which nom- mate the candidates for Presi- dent and Vice President, is in the hands of the National Com mittee.
 Gen. Wallace Davis has inherit ed much of his fathers aggress- iveness, he has had years of per- sonal experience and observation in practical politics here and In Washington, and his candidacy will test not only his personal following, but that of the old Jeff Davis organization. His op- position to MT. Miles, formerly of Fort Smith, now of Little Rock will prove one of the most inter- esting side-lights on the campaign that will conclude on the 29 of l March.

A. O. U. w.

Little Rock, Mar. 7.-At a meeting of the Finance Commit tee of the Arkansas Grand Lodge, A. o. U. w., in Little Rock last week, it was shown that during the year there had been disbursed in the beneficiary fund a total of $64, 246. 62 to Ark ansas citizens, and $26, 1855. AZ on the Reserve and Loan Fund. The interest earnings on loans during the same period were $4, 172 49. There is now loaned out in the state by the A. o. U. w., a total of $189, 15O, of which $82, 900 is on churches, S52,OO on schools, and the balance to in- dividuals.
 The Finance Committee, con- sisting of H. s. Turner of Little Rock, J. M. Weaver of Van Buren and s. w. Adams of Helena, made the following state ment in reporting their findings to Grand Recorder Cross and Grand Master Workman Frazer: We desire to express our ap- proval as to the amount of all expenditures which have been made. We have before us a summary of the business done during the year 1915, and the gain in membership in the order is gratifying to us, and the high standing that the order now oc- cupies among the citizens of this state is much to be proud of. The credit for this showing we believe is largely due to the ef- fort of both of you.

Our National Forest.

The Arkansas national forests are gradually being opened up to settlement. They had been open until a few years ago when the Reserves were set apart, but the land-hunger was not so great then, apparently, and lands which had no claimants then are now being readily taken up by bona-fde settlers. It is not prob able that the Reserves will ever be entirely restored to the public domain, since there are large areas in both forests that can never be made tillable. The gov ernment has demonstrated that there is great good to be accom- plished by an intelligent conser- vation of our timber resources, and much of the antagonism shown in earlier years has disap- peared as the people learn to know the condition better.
 There are 434, 900 acres in the Ozark forest to be thrown open to settlement April 20, in the counties of Stone, Baxter, Searcy Newton and Marion. An aggre- gate of 5, 558 acres of public land is to be opened for settlers in the Arkansas National Forest, and 232, 054 acres privately own ed will be excluded from the Re- serve. The largest bodies of land eliminated are in Garland, Polk, Scott and Montgomery counties. For the reason that the area eliminated is so largely held in private ownership, there by making administration diff cult, the Secretary of Agriculture has classified it as not sufficient ly valuable for forest purposes to warrant continued protection and administration. The lands lie along the edge of the Forest. embracing a rough, mountainous region, conforming to several ir- regular mountain masses broken by the valleys of the La Fourche, La Fave, Ouachita, and Poteau.

Delegates at Large.


 state. the people will select the men who are to represent them m the Democratic National Com nittee and in the National Con- vention. The machinery of gov ernment is being entirely divor- ced from the political machine, and the state convention being more and more divested of pre- negatives that have made it pow erful in the past.
 At first it had been feared that there would be very little inter- est in these contests, but that fear has been discounted by the number of men who are willing to pay the expense necessary to become candidates for these hon. orary positions. There are no emoluments but more or less eX- pense attached to the offices of delegate and comitteeman, but those who win achieve promi- hence in party ranks that is a measure of their popularity and ability.
 A fee of $75 is required for de- legates-at-large and National Committee, but there are six can didates for one and two for the other. Four delegates-a large are to be elected, and the candi- dates are Sheriff w. c. Hutton, State Senator John R. Duty, Senator s. c. Sims, Judge w. H. Arnold, Jerry c. South and Wal ker V. Powell. For National Committeeman, Vincent M. Miles of the Little Rock bar, appointed successor to the late Judge w. M. Kavanaugh, is a candidate. Great interest has been aroused over the eleventh-hour entry of Attorney-General Wallace Davis into the contest. For some time Gen. Davis had been considered as probable candidate for nom- lnation to the office he now holds by appointment, but as a matter of fact he had himself never ser lously thought of entering the contest now confined to John D. Arbuckle and Lewis Rhoton. lie says the emoluments of the office are no inducement for him to give up his private law prac- tlce for the exactions of public office.

The charges were the result of a

WASHINGTON, d. C.-That Presi
dent Wilson is determined to utilize
the destruction of the Sussex and
Englishman to force showdown with
Germany on the submarine issue was
revealed following the meeting OF the
cabinet.
In view of the gravity of the &C.
ton he will take if it should be es-
tablished that a German submarine
attacked the vessels named, the
President feels that it is imperative
to ascertain all the facts available.
Not only is an investigation being
made by American ambassadors and
consular officers but Mr.. Gerard in
Berlin has been directed to inquire OF
the German foreign office if any re-
port has been received from subma-
rine in relation to the torpedoing OF
the two vessels named.
Denial Is Expected.
The authorities doubt if the inquiry
will be productive of anything Other
than a denial In this case they will
be forced to rely upon the circum-
stantial evidence which is being gath.
cred by the American diplomats aud
coDsulS.
The cabinet at it's meeting did more
than ratify the decision already reach
ed by the President and the secretary
of state There was manifested uEan-
imous unwillingness to write any
more notes on the submarine issue
To make further written representa-
tions to Germany, in case thu facts
should show that one of her subrna'
rines fired into the Sussex and Eng
lishman would be, it was suggested,
to make the administration ridiculous.
