ROOT SAYS WILSON PEACE PLAN
 SHOWS WE MUST FIGHT GERMANY
(By Review Leased Wire)

WASHlNCT ON, Jan. 5.-The
 world peace address of President
 Wilson to. the senate was inter-
 preted by EIihu Root in a speech
 here tonight as an admission that
 there is no way out except by
 preparation for war and as de-
 nunciation of the course of Ger
 many. He said he was in full
 sympathy with the purposes of the
 speech. which eontained much
 noble ideaIism"
 Mir Root spoke before the National Security Leagues congress of con- structive patriotism. beginning a three day session. He appealed for a return to the basic principle" upon which this government was founded
 U. S. FREEDOM THREATENED
 American freedom was threat
 ened. he declared, by the princi-
 pie of liberty of national evolu-
 ton asserted by Germany, the
 application of which had meant
 the overwhelming of Serbia and
 Belgium and which, if approved
 by the world will mean that "our
 American freedom will surely die,
 and die while we live"
 Cheer Abuse of Germany
 The speakers plea for universal ser. vice and his denunciation of Germany brought his hearers to their feet. time and again. His address was the. feature of a day filled with vigorous appeals for universal mill tarI training and service. which prom ises to be the central theme of the congress, although a long program in which other questions of national de- fense will be treated has been mapped out.
 Alton B. Parker of New York pre- sided today and Senator Sutherland of Utah was in the chair at the night ses- sion. the speakers including s. Stan wood Menken. first president of the Security League; Lawrence F. Abbott, Mrs. Wm. William Cumming Storey. Wm. Roscoe Thayer. Henry L. Stim- son, former secretary of war; George von L.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-.Dis- solution of the Japanese house of representatives by Premier Terau- chi with the support of the em- peror before the house could pass on a motion of lack of confidence in the ministry, is viewed here as the eulmination of the bitter fight for a republican ministerial government in Japan. All .opin- ions here agree the crisis is almost wholly internal and not interna- tional.

War Premier Upheld

Count Terauchi came into power as a non-partisan leader, holding that Japan should be guided by a single national party, and so far has secured the endorsement of the emperor, who is understood by his action in dissolv- ing the house to have gone over the head of that body in a direct appeal to the people.

arranged for the purpose of pleasing the ear. What it, does mean is this: {: In your family you have duties to perform that are as necessary to the success of the war as are the duties of any gallant crew, mounting a big gun pointed at the German lines any, where in the war zone.
 The only difference is that you, in your home, remain snug and conn fortable and safe, while the boys of 'Sthe gun crew are stalking their lives. {. Let us keep in mind also the fact that the American family table can match its part in the war against the heavy artillery without any real per- sonal inconvenience to us, let alone sacrifice, for there is no sacrifice in eating less red meat and more fish, eating less wheat bread and more cornbread, eating less sugar and more potatoes, eating less fat and more barley, rice and rye.
 A most interesting phase of the food conservation movement in America, outside of the tremendous .ly important part it plays in the war. ifs the development of new food products being brought into use. We believe that in q few years at most the food supply of the world

will be so augmented as to effect a. permanent reduction i'll the cost of living through the utilization of more fish food alone, for in the sea there lies a supply of food as litnitless as the waves that sweep above it.
 j. The English sparrow, heretofore recognized as a pest i'll America. IS becoming popular for use in sparrow pie. Sparrow pie has been stand- ard English dish for many genera tions. The rabbit also is becoming a source of food in America. In vari- ous parts of the United States .,the rabbit is now being raised both for fur and meat. A California Com. 'pany has been formed to pack rabbit meat as tinpotted hare. The United States Government also is investigat- ing the feasibility of utilizing as food the Western jack rabbit, which now is killed by millions every year as a pest. It is maintained by the Depart ment of Agriculture that jack rabbit is good game whet, fresh and. that the hams, when smoked, will con-f pare with German goose hams.
 The conservation of fat is equally as important as the conservation of food, and we are rapidly learning to eliminate waste in garbage. The New York garbage is now yielding ths following by-products: 70 million cakes of soap, 1.500 tons of nitrate of glycerine, 2,O00 tons of phos-. phoric acid, 500 tons of potash. 1
 The garbage in B cantonments will be sold to contractor for feed-l ing swine, yielding the government SAG. 900 annually. It is estimated that this is equal to the. production of nineteen million pounds of pork an- nually.
 Thus, we. see that, in the final analysis, this is a war which must be won by Thrift.

DISCUSS EXTENSION
 0f MONTICELLO ROAD
Definite Statement Regarding Situa-
 tion Will Be Made in January.

Whether or not actual work on the extension of the line of the Arkansas, Louisiana & Midland Railway compa- nv from Monticello to Pine Bluff will begin is matter which will be defi- |nitely settled between the first and the 15 of January, 1918. This was agreed yesterday afternoon at con ference between Secretary B. E. Bloom, of the Chamber of Commerce and President Ford and General Man aper Ferguson Of the Arkansas, Lou |isiana and Midland Railway company, and Messrs. Otis and Coles, former owners of the road.
 Secretary Bloom stated last night that the officials of this road have been Investigating the matter of ex- tending it's lines from Monticello to this city for the past several months and that the prospects at the present time are very bright for the sue cessful continuation of this plan. How ever. the officials yesterday were un- able to make any definite statement, having come to this city to consider several routes by which the road could enter, but agreed to come to some defi. nite conclusion by the first part of January. The proposed road would
 be approximately 45 miles long and
 would open up a great deal of terri
 tory that has been very inconvenient
 for Pine Bluff business men.

MONTICELLO 45i|,, Y PINE BLUFF .;
 SORReLLS STAR
Lacking Leader, Outweigh ed Pine Bluff Boys Lose
 in Rough Game.

Crippled, Outweighed, and without the support and advice of their mem tor and leader, Coach l.. E. Bassett, kept at home by illness, the Pine Bluff High school football team suf- fered it's second defeat in three years yesterday, when the Monticello Az gfes ran up a score of 45. The Zebras were held scOreless.
 All football luck seemed against the local lads. The Monticello hackfield averaged 165 pounds, about 20 pounds above the local backfield. Then, there was difficulty in obtaining officials, and this added to the tension, and the handicap. The game was rough, both sides offending, according to . Pina Bluff player, and this resulted sat one time in five of the regulars aof the Zebras being out of the game.
 Pine Bluff made it's gains mostly with forward passes, while tho heavier Aggies went thru for its goals by line plunging. The Month cellonians scored 13 points in the first half.
 The best ground-gainers for Month cello were Hollis and Boyd, halfs, and Bishough, full, while Sorre2ls prov ed the star of the Pine Bluffians. List. at quarter, and Wilson. half, for the Zebras. were the others whose work stood out

Difference in Insignia.

A young lady is grieved and disap- pointed to learn that an eagle dis played on the shoulder or the collar of a military person means that he Is merely colonel. In her opinion so splendid a decoration ought to be reserved for full general at least. She finds it difficult also to distinguish at anything but the. closest range be- tween the oak leaf of a major and the star of a brigadier. And after you learn the meaningof of stars in the army It Is frightfully upsetting to find that
 stars in the navy do not always signify the same thing. The young lady says that every theater program ought to print key to the rank of officers of Sthe army and navy.-Exchanae.

Lens for Portraita.

Anyone who; intends to do much portraiture will find it great help to get some simple form of stand camera for the purpose. and fit 1t with one of the old-fashioned portrait lenses, whick can usually be picked up secondhand very cheaply. A half-plate lens should Le got for ouarter-plate or smaller work, as thts allows one to be further from the sitter, and so avoids all risk of wide-angle effects, besides covering the plate better. In such a case. one ought to get definition over the small plate as good as with frst-rate an. astigmat, extreme rapidity. and at . very moderate ost..-Exchauge.

Weather Vance In Francs.

In France the original weather vanes were metal reproductions of knightly banners or pennants bearing their owners heraldic devices and set upon the towers. and, like 5pennons, indtcat- cd the, dir>ction of dhnger, or sum- mons to victory. a light CT a frolic, warning or call, according to whether the day was to be fair or foul. An English, not French. writer it was who first compared vane to ''the un- certain :nind, of a fahtastical woman" The weather may be shifty, you see, but not the vane to it's own duty, says London Review. Falsehood does not abide with it. Wherever a change in wind is important, 1t functions as a sentinel at the gates or as courier spreading tilings, a silent, always wis ible Paul Revere.

eycamore Fia, Tree Common.

In Arabia and Egypt one of the com. monest of trees Is the sycamore fle: which bears 2 fruit that is unique and inexplicable in that 1t seems to serve no other purpose than that of sup. plying nesting place for a certain wasp, and the wasp seems to have no other reason for existence than the npening of the hgs, according to the Baltimore Sun. The fruit, which is a fleshy receptacle holding large mum. Der of tiny flowers inside 1t, grows in clusters upon leai1ess branches of old wood: 1t never attains more than two and half inches long. by one and three-Quarters wide, is tasteless and only partially edible; but as 1t may be found at all times of the year 1t is greatly esteemed by the natives.

isumorlno People Isn't Pleasant.

"Humoring a man" sounds like q pleasant and comfortable thing, but when one links humoring with the question of who makes the money, it does not seem very fiattering to the humorer or the humoree, says writer in the Woman's Home Companion. And what a lamentable sight is that of the humoree, what deep inequality 1t implies and what an absence of any real respect O. understanding between two people in whose lives humoring is a part of the daily routine! When the one to he humored is woman it may mean that man has been forced into the craven part of dcing anything for the sake of peace. There are few concessions some men will not make to avoid a domestic storm. Some un fortunate men there are who even give up vital friendships, legitimate forms of recreation, and even their own individualities in this unworthy cause.

Woodcsclks In London.

Woodcocks, which duying the past
 few days have been flushed "withip
 300 yards of the Marble arch," are by
 uo means such rare visitants to Lon-
 don as some otnithologists seem to in,agin,, says the London Chronicle. They have from time to time been no- ticed in almost every park or "open apace'. that contains sheltering shrubs. and occasionally during very hard win fers CT their periods of migration, they have found temporary refuge even in the little derelict churchyards of the city. At the beginning of the last century the boys of Westminster school used to get good woodcock
 shooting among the wilt's of Chelsea and sE:ttersea. Most of those young spoytsmcn took preliminary lessons from, a learned professor who lived near Deans yard and styled himself ''instrpctor of young gentlemen in the l uew art of shooting hying."
