People Soon Forget
BY VIM. E. SPENCER

Corrupt aldermen in a promi- nent American city had decided to pull off a paving deal that reeked with graft. One timid member of the body arose and inquired: What will the people think about this?" "D--n the people, replied the leader, they will soon forget.
 Nearly all of us have seen the truth of this leaders statement demonstrated many times in our own experience.
 About as forceful a demon. stration of this truth as we have ever observed appeared in a full page advertisement in the ARGUS a few weeks ago, and the same advertisement appear ed in other papers in Arkansas. The advertisement referred to was that of a fraternal order campaigning for applicants fol insurance. In the advertisement a facsimile of a letter of endorse ment by prominent bankers, business men and public officials of Little Rock was glaringly printed. These gentlemen glibly vouched for the prosperi- ty and safety of the order thus advertised. not because they knew what they were endorsing but because some friend had placed the paper before them and asked for their signatures.
 In 1879, this fraternal order. which is now held up as the paragon of all that is desirabAs in management, strength and financial stability, repudiatetl| every claim for insuranee throughout the South that grew out of the yellow fever scosMns

horros of which are still fresh in the memory of the older citizens. When it's aid was most needed the cold shoulder of repudiation was turned on the widows and orphans whose bread-winners had been taken away by the plague. Hundreds of families all over the South were left des- titute because of this heartless repudiation of just claims. Con- trast this act of repudiation with that of the fire companies after the San Francisco earthquake and fire of 1906. When that great city lay helpless and prostrate, utterly crushed, did the fire companies repudiate? Not so as you could notice itl On the other hand, they asked no questions. they made no con- test, they did not quibble over technicalities, but poured their million upon million of dollars into the stricken city, and the result is it is a bigger and better San Francisco.
 The big mutual companies, that were so merclleSsly maligned in the advertisement referred to, have asked no questions oyer the claims grow ing out of the worlds war. Every woman who has lost a husband, every mother who has lost a son in that awful carnage, whose life was insured in any of the American companies, has been paid in full and paid promptly, and the resources of the American life companies sustaining these losses are not in the slightest impaired.
 Fraternal insurance organiza- tions tell their prospective vic. tins that the great life insurance companies are soulless corpora tions and entirely mercenary in the purposes, and great many simple-minded people believe such twaddle. The fact is, the mutual insurance companies are the most carefully and econo. mically conducted institutions in the world. They give the people insurance at net cost, and the cost is cheaper than any other has afforded. At the close of each year the cost of carrying ones insurance is ascertained, and all above cost is returned to the policyholder in the form of a dividend. Since any one ot Americas great life companies are larger than all the promi nent fraternal insurance orders combined, the cost of handling 2 dollar is less than that shown by the experience of any single fraternal.
 It is said that a chump is 2 fellow who twice falls for the same sort of bunk. If, after the utter collapse of the Knights of Honor, one of the three largest organizations of its kinc the world has ever seen; the raise in rates by the Knights and Ladies of Honor; the split 1T the Modern Woodmen, and the financial troubles of numerous other fraternals that might be named, any man in Monroe county places the future of his family at the mercy of a lot o- mediocre gentlemen, who, wher arrayed in a ledge uniform, with white gloves and flowing badge toting a pink spear or a wooder battle axe, regard Solomon in al his glory as a mere piker, they will be falling for the same sor of bunk that many of thell neighbors fell for years ago and will therefore deservedl! merit the title of "chump."

NEW SITUATION

Tie new situatio in regard to boots is extraordinarily interesting Ordinary
 marching boots are alone referred to. and the millions of pairs of canvas shoes and slippers for hospital wear are not included. Of the enormous number men toned, some Is per cent were ordered fol or supplied out of stock to allied gov ernments but it does not include the ,oo0 pairs in course of making for the Russian government
 The Queen, who was consulted by Lord Kitchiner on the subject took step that or this branch of the inductry when she appealed, at the end of September, 1914, for 300, ,0C0 belts and 3O00 pairs of socks from the women of the empire. That quantity was more than forthcoming indeed the total of the two items reach 3'O,0O0, or nearly equal to the whole de- mards of the pre-war army. In the bl eathing space this gained the manufac- turers could secure and put up the addi- tional machinery required and to turn out the almost incredible total of 54,6S4 : 900 pairs of socks and s e55,O00 vests, or at the present moment early 5000 900 ot these last, which wero not a normal issue in peace time. The allies have taken scme IA per cent of, the socks and smaller proportions of the other articles, as caps. To summarize briefly what these figures mean as regards the condition of two years ago, 1t may be said that for the more important items of uniform cloth ing the demands on trade have increased seventy to eightyfold and for hosiery f. hirtU fn

AMERICAN BEER IS
 TAKEN ID LONDON
Strange Development of the Great War-German Brew
 Supply Cut Off

London, August 3.-War brings on a great many changes, but there is prob ably none more curious than the irn- portation of American beer. Before the war what beer was not produced in Eng land came from Germany. Direct im- portation, of course. had to be dropped with the outbreak of the war and Eng lands imported brew Mas brought from Holland, Sweden and Denmark. It has been strongly suspected that this beer IS really brewed in Germany, shipped to Holland or Scandinavia and there bot tied with pretty Dutch or Scandinavian labels. but of that enere is no proof. But to bring beer from New York is something new. It is almost as great a change as that which has made the four passenger boats of the American line, all well over voting age, the greyhounds Of the Atlantic
 New York beer Is not being brought over in great quantities but in some of the larger hotels where Americans stop it is to be had. As a further concession to Americans the beer es served ice cold, a difficult thing over here, where ice is sold rather by the Ounce than by the pound. English beer and ale do not ap- peal to the American taste so much as American or German beer and sharp ho- tel keepers are trying, even in wartime, to please their American visitors.

Three Things Uncle Sam Needs

Rear Admiral Robert E. Peary in Leslie's.
 In any consideration of national pre- paredness and defense, there are three big, broad. features of vital importance.
 These three features pertain to our first line of defense. the navy; to our second line of defense. our coasts to our third line of defense, our military forces It is interesting that these three features pertain respectively to the sea, the air and the land. These three important fea- lures are:
 1. A fleet of Is a5-knot battle cruisers, armed with 16-inch guns, eight on the Atlantic, eight on the Pacific, with all their accessories of destroyers. subma- rines, and hydro-aeroplanes (construction to be begun at once and completed in three yearS to put the navy of the United States in unquestioned second place among the naval powers of the world.

Engldnd's Enormous Output Of Materials of War Takes Gigantic Figures to Report

London, August 5.-There are various ways of measuring the magnitude of the great war, none of them adequate, for even as close to it as this it is impos- sible to grasp it's true gigantic propor- tions. All things loom large-casual- ty lists, cost per day and so on-but all are vague, a little beyond ordinary understanding. Someone, however, with special facilities for getting informa- tion, has been at work on figures re- lating to the industrial aspects of the war. He has measured the war, in certain way, in yards and numbers and the results are little short of terrific. Since August 1914, the British army has multiplied from 200,00 to 4,o00,oo0 or 5,OOo,ooO-the precise number is withheld. The problem of equipping these hosts has been great and made even greater by the necessity of Eng. land assisting her allies with supplies. Great things have been achieved. large ly through perfect cooperation be- tween the war office and industry.
 HOW TABLE WORKS
 Some of the figures on manufactures
 
 into figures that fairly stagger the imagination, let 1t be said that during the first 20 months of the war the amount of woolen cloth required has been 90,oOo,00 yards, which would suf- flee to put a girdle twice round the earth. Of the flannel required for shirts and so forth, the amount has been nearly as great, and totals SS, ,o00 yards. So far as contrasting these huge totals with the normal re- quirements of peace time, there is the safe and sure standard of the last cen sus of production issued in 1907. And this is how the table works out, if re- quirements for the allies, as well as for the British army, are included:

A Bad Commissariat

From the New Orleans States.
 Secretary of War Baker was praising the commissarit department of the army Tt stood the strain of the Mexican crisis we'll" he said. Everybody was fed untifully-everybody would have continued to be fed bountifully to the end. There was nothing here to sug- gest old Noska.
 "Old Noska, regular, boarded a street car one day. A man looked at him and said:
 Tn the regular army, I see.'
 Yep said Noska.
 We'll, friend, said the man, take a look at me. I'm the guy that supplies the regular army with it's butter

the last column, and does not represent an increase in percentages in the way most of us are accustomed to think. It means actual multiplication, and that the demand on British industry for flannel has been increased 41-fold, for woolen and worsted tissues 61-fold, and for cotton tissues 175-fold Of these textiles the allies have taken the larg est share in the case of woolens and cottons Over 25 per cent of the wool ems and worsted, and over 20 per cent of the cotton textiles, have been, Or are being, manufactured to meet the requirements of the allies
 After securing the khaki worsted tis- sues and the flannel there was the ques- tion of making them up. The materials have been supplied to contractors, and they. have made from them uniforms and shirts. Of these latter something like 26,000,000 have been required for ordinary, field and training wear, apart from the further huge total demanded in the hospitals. The soldier, whether in training camp, the trenches, and all phases of active service, wears out his clothes very rapidly. The army now calls for nearly as much clothing in week as it formerly did in a year.
 MANY LITTLE ITEMS
 And it is not only the big items that constitute difficulties Buttons, for in- stance, may seem but mere accessories, yet they have in the aggregate consti- tuted very important commercial as- set Something like 4o,000,000 of them have been required in their various forms since the war began, which, as it is pointed out. is about equivalent to a dozen and a half for every man, woman, and child in the United King dom.
 Another table will show some of the amazing totals that have been provided:
