 Little Rock, Oct. ?. - There is no means of determining in advance how many men will be secured on the final call of the first draft which starts tomorrow.

The state is to furnish a total of 10,267 men, of whom about 4000 are negroes. No orders have been received yet aobut the disposition of the negroes.

LEADING NEWSPAPER MAGAZINE
DISCUSS NEWSPAPER MERGERS

n an interesting sidelight on, the
n recent consolidation of the Star
Independent and the TELE-
GRAPH, with a view to improving
newspaper conditions in Harrisburg,
the following extracts from one of the
leading newspaper magazines of the
country - "Newspaperdom" - pub
lished in New York City, are interest
ing:
Every little while newspaper con-
solidations are noted. and it has come
to be recognized that the average
city furnishes business for not more
than two daily newspapers. The third
and fourth daily rarely pay in cities
of less than 250,000 population. Ar
vertisers have come to learn that 1t is
not to their interest to support too
many newspapers in field: they SIM
ply want to cover each field they en-
ter, and the fewer individual papers
required the less is it apt to cost.
These thoughts come to mind on OBJ
serving the abandonment of a pro-
posed third daily in Port Huron,
which has 10000 population. The big
advertisers declined to go in, and the
paper never came into existence"
LET the next merger come along!

The Call

My country, do you hear the call?
Its solemn message thrills the air.
1t sounds above the desperate fight,
And sternly bids you do your share.
With freedoms very life at stake,
With law and order overthrown,
My listless land. awake! awake!
The peril has become your own.
From the ripe wisdom of the past
A warning voice. a trumpet blast
To-day seems ringing from the. sky
"'Tis mans perdition to be safe
When for the truth he ought to die!"
My country. do you heed the call?
The hour has struck; the sands are
run;
Your chance to take the patriots
stand
May vanish by to-morrow's sun.
If you refuse to guard the rights
For which our fathers fought and
died,
To watch and trim the beacon lights,
You shall be stricken in your pride
Haul down the flag, no more to be
Shelter and emblem of the free.
For hark! again that warning cry
"'Tis mans perdition to be safe
When for the truth he ought to die!''

Bronx Is For Gary System
New York Dispatch.

A public meeting held at Borough
Hail. The Bronx, last night, under the
auspices of the welfare committee of
the Board of Aldermen. declared it,
self unanimously as of the opinion
that the adoption of the Gary system
in The Bronx schools would be the
cheapest and best way to provide ele-
mentary vocational training.
Joseph S. Taylor, n district superin-
tendent in The Bronx, said that as a
result of the reorganization of eleven
schools on the Gary plan. 10000 chill
dren had been taken off part time.
Every child had a seat, he declared,
and studied the three RS for the same
period as in schools where the plan
was not in operation, and, in addition,
there was an increase of 212 per cent.
in the number of shops, studios and
laboratories.
Domestic science, shop work. man.
ual training and kindred pursuits
were taught to 71,S10 more children
than before the introduction of the
Gary plan, Mr.. Taylor said.
"a large number of children. when
they have reached the IA grade"
said Mrs. Harry Chester Arthur, an
other speaker, "have absorbed and as
simulated all the book knowledge that
it is possible for them to hold. Then
they crave something practical, and,
IL it is not given to them, they begin
to deaden mentally"

city where there are too many news
papers for the good of either pub
fishers or advertisers. 1t might have
expected that this wholesome move
ment would have been accelerated by
the high cost of white paper, es-
pecially in cities where there are
known to be newspapers that under
former paper prices yielded not very
great profits. To be sure it would be
unfortunate il the squeeze proved too
severe for the owners referred to, but
the opportunity is nevertheless prom
ising for another series of considera-
tions."
Charles NJ. Palmer, recognized
newspaper authority, in the same mag
azine says:
"It takes a large town to afford
business enough to make two news
papers profitable. Look the State of
New York over and see how few
towns of medium size have more than
one newspaper that is making real
money and thus demonstrating its
right to a permanent existence. Alb
sorption and consolidation are the
notable features of the business the
country over. / have sometimes said
that no town of less than $4,000 or
80, 900 population can adequately sup
port more than one paper"

The Flag to France!
From the Roston Transcript)

(From the Boston Transcript
A wave of enthusiastic sympathy
and sentiment for France has swept
over the country. "a million men for
France" awakens an echo in the heart
of America. "A billion gift for France"
produces a reaction which can leave no
official mind uncertain as to how gen.
erously the people would have their
government act toward their ancient
benefactress. The proverbial forgetful-
ness of democracies has been obliterat-
ed in the awakened consciousness OF
our obligation and our opportunity to
serve. We have been moved by we'll
ing-up of feeling that must have an
outlet, and that very soon. and, amidst
our practical regard for our own de-
fense and we'll being, we would have
coloring of reckless and romantic
ardor for the deed that we do for
France.
Even the President. with all his ad-
jurations of neutrality of the heart as
well as mind, yielded once to fine
impulse of admiration for the glory
France has come to mean. In speech
delivered to group of women near
Washington, in 1915, he permitted his
mind to dwell upon its picture of
France a trifle longer than was good
for his "heart neutrality" and he said;
Can you not imagine the great awak-
ening that has come to country like
France, for example; how much more
intensely every Frenchman (and every
Germany feels the national compulsion
than he ever felt 1t before? How much
more his blood springs to the challenge
of patriotic suggestion? He is not
fighting for his own life. He is sacri-
ficing his own life, or willing to sacrl-
flee it, in order that greater life
than his might persist the life of his
nation" We are responsible for the
paren4heses, which are inserted in be-
half of the Presidents thought.
To say we are pro-French is the most
acceptable way that many of us can
phrase our partisanship in this war.
Inclining in that direction. we find our
feelings obstructed by no such con-
fiicts as might develop in the heart Of
the Irishman who heard the national
policy described as pro-British. We
encounter no prejudices, no harbored
i'll will; France has not been much
identified with infringements on our
commerce rights; she has but inspired
u.s.
The flag to France, then! We must
wait for the million men, but thousands
are ready now to form the vanguard
with the colors, until our army can be
trained. Send them. A spirited sug-
gestion, approved already by one of the
| highest officials of the government is
that we send a picked force of $4,000
men for intensive training on and be-
hind the battle front, with the purpose
of Withdrawing them to serve as ON
GERS of instruction for our volunteer
forces. Let us hope that the govern
ment may appreciate the merit of this
| suggestion. II it is rejected, may 1t be
for better one which promises even
more quickly and effectively to repay
in part the services rendered us by the
men of Lafayette and Rochambeau.

Hercules of the Union"

The threat of war has shaken Penn
sylvania out of her traditional mod
esty. She now sees herself-or, as
we must put it, he now sees himself
as the Hercules of the Union" The
Keystone State 'can give more than
any other Commonwealth" Bethle-
hem is ready to add q nobler signifi-
canoe to its name by making as many
guns as Krupp. Baldwin's can pro-
duce more locomotives than all the
plants in Germany. The State found
ed by William Penn is the only one
which can build and equip a battle
ship-"arm it with the biggest guns,
stock the magazines with shells. and
grid the whole thing with steel ar
NOR" A single clothing manufactur-
er in Philadelphia can turn out 5000
uniforms a week. Manufacturers of
stockings and underclothes in the
State are able to equip a greater alely
than the country has ever yet enroll
ed. There is enough coal in Pennsyl-
vania to supply all the warships of
the belligerents. There are at any
given time more freight cars in Penn
sylvania than in any otner State, a
thing of vital need when those war
drums beat to arms" Only one other
State could buy more Government
bonds. In a word, as the Ledger sums
it up:
Eyes, Pennsylvania is the Hercules
of the Union, and If it were necessary
to mobilize up to the limit that has
been done in France, we could send
out under our battle flags an army of
100000 men,"
And when we have conquered Ger
many, Pennsylvania can show her how
to govern herself

STAY OFF THE RIVER

TINE Susquehanna in midsummer
and the Susquehanna during the
period of spring freshets are entirely
different streams. Canoeing and boat
ing are comparatively safe and pleas
ant recreations when the river is low
but frought with grave peril even for
the most skillful and daring when the
water is high. The sad accident of
Saturday, by which one youth was
drowned and another narrowly escap-
ed death, should serve as a warning.
Not only is the river dangerous for
canoes and boats, but the current is
strong and water deep along the Front
Steps. Parents should caution children
from playing along the river walk
while the stream continues high.

Peehca in
Pe~~oqGSa~;o
By the Ex-Committeeman

Retirement of o. d. Bleakley, elected
to Congress from the Twenty eighth
district and forced to resign because
of disclosures relative to his expenses
in excess of the limit allowed by law,
has caused considerable speculation
whether there will not be a special
election held without delay. 1t is the
opinion of people at the Capitol that
there will be no time lost so that the
big district may be adequately repre-
sented in the war Congress. In all
probability the matter will be brought
to the attention of the Governor at
an early day and special primary
and election will be arranged.
Friends of two legislators living in
the district are mentioning them to-
day. One of the men prominently
talked of is Representative Daniel b.
Goodwin, of Nenango, one of the
ablest men in the House. He comes
from Bleakleys home district. The
other mentioned is Representative
John Siggins, Jr., of Warren.
In all probability boom will be
started for General William ]. HUI
ings, former senator and former con-
gressrncn.
Acting Democratic State Chair
man Joe Guffey last night startled the
state by doing something. He gave
out that he had appointed Sedgwick
Kistler, of Lock Haven, as treasurer
of the state committee to succeed the
late Samuel Kunkel of this city. Mr..
Kistler is wealthy. Mr.. Kistler is a
director of the First National Bank of
Lock Haven. member of the firm of
Kistler, Lesh & Co., and interested in
tanneries and other business projects
up the state. His reorganizer friends
say he is a real Democrat, too.
What has surprised a good many
people about the State Capitol is that
the Democrats did not perform any
circus stunts last evening when the
President sent in his war message.
The Democratic ringmasters have not
done anything for two weeks except
make blunders and there has been no
display of that mastery employment
of strategic position which it was
claimed was going to mark the present
management of the state machine.
The bill fixing the date for the
fall primary one day later than at
present is back in the House elections
