Paris, Sept. ii.-Before winter sets in it is expected there will be 260,00C Italian troops fighting on the French front Already two contin- gents comprising twenty-five thou sand men each have arrived in Frence and soon are expected to take up their positions in the Vos- ges. All of the Italians will be sent to that region. the mountainous country comprising the extreme end of the fortified line in Alsace.
 Besides these troops Italy will furnish special mountain artillery for it's contingent, the guns being of the same caliber as the light French seventy-flve millimeters, but capable of higher angle fire and mounted on different types of wheels and cais- son. making them more adaptable for hauling up grades.

q i-- Inefficient at Fifty-Fipe.

From The Southwest American.
 The president 0f one of the big eastern insurance companies says a man Is inefficient at fifty-iive, no matter what he has accomplished, if he has to give up the game. He doesn't believe in speeding up if 1t lops of something of mans career.
 Think of the value of the lives snuifed out at flfty-live," he says. Just when the lives have reached their maturity, when knowledge has become wisdom, when judgment has become well-balaneed- fifteen years Of the choicest part of their lives snufied out
 A man should be at his best up to seventy Many men are better after that age than previously. So n man leads strenuous life as to kill himself before he reaches seVenty-tive he has been inefficient Co that extent There will be many Co agree with the president of the insurance company.
 But that is exactly what the American business man is doing at this tlme-rendering himself in- efficient before he reaches fifty-flve. Go before the great business insti- tutions of this country. and you ind the game so strenuous that no man can play it for more than a few years. As for the workmen in our shops, the pace has been set so fast. the speeding up process is so much in evidence. that the aver age man begins to show inefficient earlier than fifty.

OPEN SEASON FOR FOOL FIRES!
Time Almost Here for Grass, Forest and Flue Blazes. Says Warning.

The open season for fool fires from defective Aues, burning grass and forests, is almost here" says an anti-fire warning just issued. and it is up to the public to protect itself. g
 Within a few short weeks the newspapers of Arkansas will have many items in print about fires caused from bad order nues, which the first touch of chilly weather al- ways occasions
 With feeling of dread the fire departments approach that season of the year when stoves are set up and furnaces lighted for the first time, after weeks of non use Dur ing the summer months furnace pipes have become defective thru rust, cracks have widened in bad llues The advent of the heating season uncovers all these defects.
 "Flues should he cleaned and in- Spected before fires are lighted. Furnace tlues and heating fixtures generally should be looked after. either by the man of the house or by a reliable workman" says the anti-fire warning. issued by the Ar kansas Actuarial Bureau.

THREE PARDONED,
 MUST QUIT STATE
Governor Hays Releases George W. Hart and John and Jesse Lamance on Plea of Pope County People
 Presumption of Innocence.

special to The Star
 Little Rock, Sept. Governor Hays yesterday granted pardons in the eases of George W. Hart and John and Jesse Lamance, who were convicted in Pope county in connec- ton with the killing of Silas Church and the shooting of his wife, Selma Church, March 27, i9ii A first trial resulted in an acquittal, and they were convicted January IT, l9l6 Ii is provided as condition of the pardon that Hart return to his former home in Kentucky. or any other state. and the Lamances to North Carolina or any other state and never come back to Arkansas. Hart had i3 years. and the Lamance brothers ten years each, being con- victed, respectively, of murder in the second degree and assault with intent to kit.
 The petitions and pleas for the pardons were numerous and repre- sentative of the best citizenship of Pope county. ]. A. Livingston's ap- peal. as editor of the Russellville Courier-Demoerat, may be taken as a fair sample. He wrote:
 There are reasonable and almost incontrovertible grounds for doubt ing their guilt, as is evidenced by their acuuittal at the first trial when charged with murder All evidence in the trial was circum- stantial with the exception of one witness. and I understand that this witness now makes a written state ment that she might have been mis- taken as to the identity of the par ties. And during the whole process of the court trials, no motive what ever was ever shown for the killing of the deceased by these defendants This fact was ever and is still in the minds of the public
 Hart has wife and eight children The Lamance brothers come of a good family in North Carolina and had never before been in trouble.

WHAT METHOD 10 ESTABLISH PEACE
Many Suggestions Submitted to General Bliss by American Mem bers American- Mexican Joint
 Commission-Unique in History.

New London. Conn, Sept. It.
 Suggestions as to what method shall
 be employed to establish peace on the Mexican border were submitted yesterday to General Tasker H. Bliss
 of the United States army by the
 American members of the Ameri-
 can Mexican joint commission.
 The officers opinion were sought
 on the subjects ranging from the withdrawal of American troops from Mexico to the possibility of creating an international police to guard the border No conclusion, however, was reached and the com mlssiOners will continue today their conferences with General Bliss.
 The joint commission dealt yes
 terday wholly with the questions raised by taxation decrees issued by General Carranza, which effect
 American controlled mining prop critics in Mexico An exhaustive study of the situation was begun. | The American commissioners ex- 1 plained i'll detail the purpose of the decrees insisting that they were de- signed to promote the mining in- dustry, not drive out American cap-
 ital and conflseate it's holdings.
 l In their conference with General Bliss the American commission took under consideration the advisability of proposing such system of bord-

 bandits al a distance from the line. They considered also the attitude of
 Americans living along the border as reported by General Bliss and 1 learned from that officer estimates

About Amendment No. If.

The system for road building, made possible by the adoption of Amendment No. ii is so simple it is a mystery to me that no one has ever thought of it before states Judge ]. $ Ahercrombie of Saline county. president of the Arkansas Goods Roads Association. T served several terms in the legislature, and worked hard on good road measures but nothing so complete or simple as this ever occurred ;o me. It is the first real relief have ever seen offered. Give the counties tho right Go issue bonds for thirty years, or to operate under the present sys- tenn and they will build some roads. The beautiful thng about this amendment is that it does not saddle 1t on any county unless the people of that county deem if wise and a majority of the electors vote for it. | believe it will be possible for eV- cry county in the state to build permanent roads right now under this amendment, which sAould make it appeal directly to the country people

WILSON TO CHALLENGE
 STATEMENT OF HUGHES
Declares Principle of s-Hour Day Not Waae Raise Was Feature Of
 Recent Legislation.

Long Branch. \. J., Sept. i5.- President Wilson decided Friday to challenge the statement made by Charles F. Hughes in recent speech es that the basis on which the re- gently threatened railroad strike was averted was merely an increase of wage for the employees.
 The president, his political ad- yisors said Friday, considers the principle of the eight-hour day vitally affected by the strike settle ment and will seek t0 show that while the railroad legislation passed by congress to meet the situation will give the employees at least a temporary increase in pay. the more important point IS that 1t es- tablished the elght-h0ur day as the basis of work for railroad WOrklns men
 The President will make known his views either in speech at Shadow Lawn or in a letter. Dem oeratic leaders expect the Republi- cans to continue their efforts to make the strike settlement an is- sue and it was said Friday that Mr. Wilson will welcome such an ar eument.
 Mir. Wilson expects to make clear he will not be satisfied until con gress enacts into law the rest of the railroad legislation he recom- mended, including the increase in the interstate commerce commission and a measure of investigation of controversies between railways and their employees before strikes and lOek0uts are called

Mayor Charles E. Taylor Comes Out for Prohibition as Now Existing in Arkansas and Gives Co.,
 gent Reasons for Stand.

Little Rock, Sept. l3.-One of the features of the all-day rally held by the prohibition forces of the state ill this city yesterday, was an ad- dress by Mayor Charles k. Taylor of Little Rock. in which he came out squarely and emphatically in favor of the statewide prohibition law now in force, and cited many proofs of its salutary influence in the state.
 He declared that it will remain a law. and said: T believe that the experience of citizens with such a law which has been enforced from the beginning, and which has made such material reductions i'll the number of crimes, is such as to justify the prediction that the y0t- CTS, by a large majority. will lndors at the polls the prohibition law as 1t now stands
 Mayor Taylor says that after eight months of trial he can make the positive statement that the law has been enforced in the cities of the state. and nowhere more effectively than in Little Rock. the states cap-
 
 Fort Smith. Pine Bluif Hot Springs, Argenta and Helena.
 In eight months of 1915 there were 2967 cases in the Little Rock mu- nicipal court and the correspond ing six months this year there were only l.592.
 The Pulaski county grand jury re- ported that it returned fewer in dictments and incurred less expense than any preceding for many years
 Why should any citizen of this great state asked the mayor. nc matter what his personal and pri- Vate views concerning the liquor business. desire to have placed again on the statute books a law that will nearly double the number of arrests in cities and towns. a law that will indirectly bring to inno- cent persons unnecessary suffering. law that will handicap the growth Of cities. and retard the moral growth and development of our peo- ple?n
 The mayor said. further. that If the charge is true that Little Rock IS in bad way financially because We have no saloons, then a lot of people have not found it out. or they would not buy so many auto mobiles" And there have been al- ready this year 2.303 automobile li- eenses issued in Pulaski county. compared with i709 for the whole year 1915.
 The state has never before been so prosperous so it appears that the saloons do not make business.

AdNance Aaents of Prosnerity.

Fifty thousand Southern girls were enrolled in canning clubs ir 1915, received free instruction from agents of the state agricultural col leges and the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, learned tc make use of what would be waste vegetables, substantially helped supply their own family tables and earned q neat little sum of pin money that probably will total more than million dollars.
 Hundreds of girls encouraged by the success of their tenth-of-an- acre vegetable gardens in summer, tried their skill at raising winter vegetables and found if interesting and profitable.
 On November l6, 1914, Virginia girl, If years old. began winter garden twenty feet wide and fifty feet long. which was a part of her tenth-of-an-aere garden cultivated during the previous summer. Spin ach lettuce, radishes, rape. kale and mustard were planted in No- Nember and December. and in March and April potatoes and peas She gathered in all 357 pounds of vegetables and sold from her cold frame zoo collard plants. This crop was worth SlI05 and gave a profit of Sli.25. The little girl wrote to the department of agriculture: Nv mother has learned how to make many new dishes out of the Veee- tables in my winter garden
 While these girls are spending their time so profitably while they are actually cultivating their tiny gardens and canning the products. they are equiping themselves to be better housewives. They prove to be the best kind of pupils and 1t is their kind that will solve the prob- lem of rural life without calling in theorists from the big cities. Sa- lute the canners.-Shrevep0rt Jour nal
