INTEREST IN GUARD
IS INCREASING

Little Rock, March 30-The prospect that Arkansas will soon be called up on to furnish it's quota of a large army in the eevnt of war with Germany IS giving an impetus to the organization of the National Guard. We'll inform ed persons say that 15,000 will be about the number of men Arkansas may be called upon to furnish, and the two present meager regiments would make hardly beginning.
 Applications are being made for the organization of companies in many places in the state. Among the ap- plications received yesterday were Capt. St. Clair of Hot Springs, George o. Patterson, of Clarksville, R. l.. Hutchins of Augusta. Others points where companies are being raised are England, Helena, Wynne and Malvern.
 Not only are recruiting agents working for more soldiers in the United States, but the Navy IS en- deayoring to secure about 25,0O0 more men. and Arkansas is being asked to supply it's quota.

DEMOCRATS ASK
 FOR 5000

An appeal was made yesterday by party leaders of the Democrats of Ar kansas to do their share in paying the indebtedness incurred by the Demo cratic National Committee in the last presidential campaign.
 The strenuous campaign made it necessary for the National Committee to incur a deficit of $600,000. This has been equitably divided among the states. Arkansas share is $7,000. Of this amount, federal office holders of this state have contributed $4,000, which leaders of the party feel is all they should be asked to give. It is hoped to raise the remaining $3,000 from the rank and file.
 The appeal is made by Governor Brough, Frank Pace, Wallace Davis, Arkansas member of the Democratic Committee; Joseph M. House ST., June P. Wooten and c. c. Kavanaugh, chair man of the Pulaski County Democratic Central Committee.
 The appeal says that we know that Arkansas will do her share and we are asking that every loyal citizen con tribute toward the worthy object of taking care of this deficit caused by the election of the greatest president of the age, Woodrow Wilson,
 Cheeks should be payable to W. w. Marsh, treasurer of the Democratic National Committee, or Frank Pace, chairman of the Arkansas Honor fund

TO
URGE DEFENSE Of
WESTERN COAST

Defense OF the Pacific coast is TO
be strongly urged on the naval com
mittees of Congress at the coming
regular session.
While the war is causing much at
tention to some phases Of prepared
ness in this country. Pacific coast
members are perturbed because due
attention, as they view 1t, is not
being given their region.
Recently Congressman Osborne OF
of Los Angeles wrote to all mem
bers of Congress on the coast strong
" urging that they work together
to bring about a systematic plan OF
naval defense, beginning at Puget
Sound and continuing to the Mex
fcsn border.
The Helm commission OF the navy
has recommended important defense
projects for the Pacific coast, but no
provision OF law has been made FOR
these projects, and Pacific coast
members, backed up by other far
Western members, are expected to
work for results the coming winter.

st. Gaudens statue, during the visit
here in 1913 of an English delegation
to confer on the celebration of 200
years OF peace among English-speak-
ing peoples.
The British government accepted
the st. Gaudens work and set aside
for it a site in Parliament square,
London. The war caused a failure to
put the project through, Mr.. Perris
explained, but the committee this
summer was enabled TO revive the
project in the shape of an offer of
the Barnard statue, which was like
wise accepted by the British, and the
same site allotted
1T is a pity that controversy should
rage around a project that ought to
be carried through entirely in an
atmosphere of cordiality and good
feeling" Mr.. Perris said should the
admirers Of the st. Gaudens Lincoln
in the United States be moved to do
what the generosity of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Phelps Taft has done in re-
spect of Barnard's work, that is, to
offer Great Britain a replica OF the
great work in Lincoln Park, Chicago,
such an offer would be accepted in
England with unfeiGned satisfaction.
There is room in Great Britain,
yes, in London, for more than one
monument of Americas saint and hero
President, whose memory all English
men revere and love. This is the
proper issue out OF the existing con
troversy and this solution Of the diff
ficulty, should the supporters of the
st. Gaudens statue think ft, you'd
give nothing but pleasure to all con
cerned."

DEMOCRATS PLAN
ZONE SYSTEMFOR
NEXT CAMPAIGN

Recent announcement by the Demo
cratic national committee that the
country Is to be organized for political
purposes on the zone system has
caused politicians here and elsewhere
to prick up their ears.
Republican leaders have taken no
tice of the announcement. They re-
gard It as a clear indication that the
Democratic chiefs are already out to
make q vigorous Congressional cam
paign next summer and also to get
ready for 1920.
The Republican leaders are saying
that they have, heard a great deal Of
talk about politics being eschewed for
the war period, but that such talk
is evidently baseless.. The feeling
among these leaders was voiced today
by a prominent member OF that party.
Democrats Organising.
II notice the Democratic national
committee Is busy organizing the
country" he said. yet National
Chairman Wilcox insists the Repub-
licans ought to disregard politics."
Soon after the next session OF Con-
gress opens in December, the Congress

and Democratic. will be organized
Meetings for that purpose will be
called by Chairman Woods, OF the Re
publican committee, and by Chairman
Doremus, of the Democratic com
mittee.
Republicans Hopeful.
Although. it is wartime, It is per-
fectIy plain that a strenuous cam
paign is ahead for the control OF the
House and Senate. The Republicans
are convinced they will capture the
House. The Democrats are already
at work to prevent this.
Moreover, the Democrats, although
they believe they can continue to
control the Senate, are not entirely
satisfied with the situation. They
have recently lost Senator Lane in
Oregon and Senator Husting ofWiscon-
sin by death. These are losses on
which they had, of course, not cal
