Add two other things. Mr.. Lloyd
George is Secretary for War, and he is
the most remarkable statesman who
has risen from the ranks since Abra-
ham Lincoln. There will be no question
about that when the records of this
war are fully known, especially since
November. 1914 General Sir William
Robertson, the Chief Of Staff, is, in his
turn. as strong a soldier as has ever
risen from the ranks in the English
speaking countries. His career matches
those Of the marshsls of the Revolu-
ton. Yet his colleague. the COM
mander in chief in the field, Sir Doug
las Haig. belongs, on the contrary, to
an immemorial family whose origins
go back to the dimmest days Of Bor-
der legend.
Old and New Knit Together.
SO after all our centuries the old
and the new are knit together in
manner OF which we cannot think un-
moved. Nor does any one. class fight
better or work better than another, nor
grieve with deeper feeling or more
steadfast control where grieving must
be. For all these and other reasons
we begin 70 allow ourselves to think
that Britain has already proved her
self some" nation, 10 use a phrase
which has become part Of our vocabu-
larry since the war began.
With all this we know very well
what there is still 10 do, and we are
Understanding nothing At the open
ing of the third year of war there are
practically only two schools of in
structed opinion. IL is assumed by
both that the struggle will be over by
this time twelvemonths. One school
believes that the end of this autumn
will bring the Allies to the very goal
Of complete victory ard lasting peace.
The other school believes that by the
close of this present campaign we shall
be in sight of the goal, and sure of 1t,
but shall not get be there. The latter
view is the wiser, but 1t is always pos
sible that the collapse OF Austria and
Turkey may bring full victory with
rush.
On the other hand, il must equally be
remembered that France, hardened by
Verdun, is now not only inAexible for
the retrocession of Alsace and Lor-
raine but for the acquisition Of the
Saar valley just over her present
frontier. The Saar valley is a small
area with invaluable coal deposits.
These added TO the famous iron de-
posts of Lorraine would insure for
France full economic compensation and
a brilliant industrial renaissance. 1t
is a claim for indemnity paid other
wise than in cash. 1t must be re-
membered that Bismarck wrung merci-
lessly from France FIVE milliards as
we'll as two provinces. France means
to remain great power on her own
basis instead of being struck forever
out OF the list Of great powers, as
Bernhard and his like Systematically
urged and as Berlin intended two years

HISTORIC CITY
 NOW FARMS

Mrs. Pullen, of the fGr-famed Pullen House, entertained a party of her guests on Tuesday at her unique homestead situated on the site of Dyea. This "City" with 3 population of twenty thousand dur inp the rush to the gold fields, was the chief outfitting station for those seeking their fortunes in the EI Dorado of the North. Although Dyea is known as a dead city" " but promises to be a very lively place under the efficient manage ment or Mrs. Pullen, who has all ready many acres under cultivation. IIei herd of blOoded cattle gives promise of a fine stock ranch in 'he near future. In addition she has a hotel almost ready for occu- paECy
 The party enjoyed the day in wandering over the place, gathering wild flowers, fording the streams, finding much of interest in visiting the deserted cabins, the old toll bridge and the grave yaId wherein re"ose the bodies of the victims of the famed snowslide of '9S.
 Among those of the party was the genial CaDtain Ralpb YOung, cap tain of teh Golden Rod of Sitka. y As this was his first visit to Dyea iu eighteen yea1s, his con versatiCn easily reverted to the early days when he was a partici- pant ill the thrilling experiences of the place. His "reminiscences, eX- Uressel in his pleasing manner, proved of great interest to the oth- er visitors.

FINDS 5 CONWAY
 NEGROES IN JAIL

Five Conway negroes were found in the lookup at Fort Smith yester- day by Deputy Sheriff J. l. Summers, who returned this morning after re- spending to call from officers of that city. John Gatewood, however, was the only one of them that Sum- mers thought enough of to pay his fare back to Conway John skipped out while working the roads with a sentence of about 160 days hanging over him. Since he left charge of grand larceny, for stealing some hides from E. Erbacher & Company has also been preferred against him. The other negroes held in the Border City were Henry Harris, Robert and Fred Gatewood and Dave Cockrum. Harris had only five days left of a jail sentence here and the officer de- cided it would not be worth paying his fare to bring him back. There were no charges here against the oth- CTS and they were released.

way tonight Mr. Culpepper declar. ed. Are you weighed in the balances and found wanting? That night was Belshazzers last night on earth. It was his first night in hell. What would you do if this were your last night on earth? How would you spend it?''
 The evangelist concluded his ser mon with an impassioned and touch ing appeal for converts. Several hymns were sung while the minister extended his invitation and quite a large number went forward to give him their hand, signify ing their in. tention to become Christians.
 Ut has not yet been decided when the meeting will close. Rev. Cul. pepper, is said, declines to limit his stay to definite time when holding revival. The meeting was expected to continue but two weeks, but it is thought probable by officials of the church that it will now extend well into next week. Instead of diminish ing, interest is increasing with each service, the big church being filled to it's capacity even at the day services.

COMMITTEE CASTS UP OFFICIAL VOTE RUNOFf PROVIDED FOR SECOND PLACE CANDIDATES MUST FILE NOTICE BY
 FRIDAY NOON.

Official returns of Tuesdays Demo- cratic city primary election were can vassed late yesterday afternoon by the City Democratic Central Com mittee and nominees were declared for all except two of the municipal position to be filled.
 The committee found that J. c. Dawson and J. R. Piercey, leading candidates for mayor and marshal, respectively, failed to secure the nee essary majority vote and that a run oil between them and their next high est opponents, Judge F.. M Merriman and w. II. Canada, was ordered held on next Tuesday, in the same pre- cincts and with the same election off, cials as served last Tuesday The com mlttee, however, adopted a motion that unless the two candidates receiv- ing the next highest number of votes for mayor and marshal should file with Secretary V. D. Hill a notice of their intention to further contest the nominations by noon Friday, March 10, the secretary was instruct ed to certify the two candidates re ceiVing the highest number of votes as the nominees for the positions named.
 In order to determine the nominees for aldermen of the Third ward, the committee recanvassed the ballots east in that ward It was found that 10 votes were cast by persons living in the Second ward, who did not vote on aldermen. Twenty others eith- CT voted for but one alderman or none at all. The total vote in the ward was 150 Deducting the 10 Second ward votes, left 40, of which pr. J. z. Bailey, who received 73 votes, secured a majority. Deduct ing the 2l "single shot" and irregu lar ballots, left total of ll9 who cast votes for both first and second places as aldermen. Of this number Prof. w. 0. Wilson, who received the next highest vote, 66, also received a majority, and Dr. Bailey and Prof. Wilson were accordingly declared the nominees.
 The official returns were exactly as the unofficial vote, which has already been printed in the Log Cabin Demo- crat. The new committee was organ ized by the reelection of J. H. Bailey as chairman and V. D. Hill as secre- tary-treasurer
 That run-off will have to be held is indicated by statements made by both Judge Merriman and Marshal Canada today. Both declare that they are still in the race and seem confident of winning on the second vote.
