DEAN BROWN OF YALE ADDRESSES
 M AN UF LECTURERS.
Everyone Must Do His Part If German Ruthlessness Is to
 Be Squelched.

we are. up against the most pow erful and most perfectly organized military organization the world has ever known said Dean Charles R. Brown, of Yale University, when. he warned every patriotic American to do his part in the war, during a speech before the Manufacturers' association mass meeting at the Casino last night
 'sIf our allies across the sea should fail, this great country. Of ours would be at the mercy of that. organization and we have, only to look at little Belgium, or remember what happen ed in Poland or Armenia to know that that organization has no mercy" he warned the factory officials.
 This is not war of only a few days. It may run, into years" Dean Brown affirmed before his audience upon authority of men high in the government councils.
 Of our lenfency. towards the enemy and the necessity for action now, he said in part:
 s.We have been exceedingly patient with that nation across the, sea. We have disregarded outrages that will go down in history as the most terri bIe of the ages. We have seen the sinking of the Lusitania,' with the death of innocent women and chill dren. We have seen Zeppelins hurling down bombs on aged domen and little children Heretofore men have fought with men, and only with men.
 -y"We have disregarded pillage and cruelty, such as the world has never before seen. We have witnessed hos pftal ships, loaded 70 the rails with wounded and their nurses, sent to the bottom We have seen the represen- tatives of that country in Washington with friendly smiles on their faces while they plotted with Mexico and Japan against us.
 .Then President Wilson made his great speech to Congress, and now we are going to translate his words into deeds, and show the world that we stand for democracy and truth.
 "War is terrible thing. I hate it. No man ever speaks lightly on war, and every man prays that his country may be kept out. of war. But there are worse things than war. It is worse to lose our democracy. ,> It is worse to lose our willingness to fight to preserve that democracy, to pre- serve the safety of our homes and the sanctity of our women. All these things are worth fighting for, and please God, dying for.''
 Z Ninety-two' factories in Bridgeport were represented by their heads at the meeting. The majority of those pres ent were heads of departments, super intendents and foremen. It is esti- mated that between s1,500 and 2,000 persons attended.

DEPORTATION OF BELGIANS DID NOT
 CEASE ON FEB. 10

Havre, June 20.-The Belgian gov- ernment in an official statement yes terday denounces the bad faith of the denial of the Wolff bureau on June z of the continuation of the deportation of Belgians. The denial, the govern ment declares, avoids the essential facts and concerns itself only with the question of the places to which Bel gians had been deported., The Belgian government maintains that the de- portations continue and that, they did not cease as the Wolff bureau said on Feb. 10

GIVING NOTES
TO PAY DEBTS

Both houses of the general
assembly have passed the
measure, which was urged by
Gov. Brough, authorizing the
state to borrow $750,000 to
pay its indebtedness and get
on a cash basis again. This
amount is to be repaid in year
ly payments and two offers of
the money have been made at
four per cent interest, one from
the national headquarters of
the Woodmen of the World
and another from bankers OF
Little Rock and other Arkan-
sas cities. This measure does
not call for an increase in tax
alton, but stick a pin in this
prediction, it will come to that
before these notes are paid.

Many Opportunities
For Success

Some people seem to have
an idea that there are not as
great opportunities for success
today as there were a few
years ago.
The Journal cannot agree
with those who hold to this
idea. We sincerely believe that
there are just as great oppor-
tunities today as there ever
were in the worlds history.
This is the day of the self
made man and the talented
woman. The wonderful devel-
opment of our country has Gre
ated greater demands fortrain-
ed leaders, for skilled workers,
and for specialists in all lines
of business, civic, social and
religious work, and in fact in
all lines of human endeavor.
Some of our country's great
est statesmen, business and pro-
fessional men, teachers, preach
ers and farmers, were poor
boys only a fewsyears ago, and
had far less opportunities to
rise than the poorest boys of
today.
Any young man or young
woman who really desires to
succeed in life can easily pre-
pare themselves for success.
Success awaits those who
earn it. As a general rule, we
rise no higher than we aim.
Whether we live on the farm
or in the city; whatever may
be our occupation, the world
demands useful service, and the
person who is willing to pay
the price in hard work is the
one who attains success. But
whatever we do must be we'll
done. Our services must be of
the kind that can be depended
upon, and unless they are we
will find ourselves displaced
by others who are morereliable
and better qualified for the
work we attempt.
There are opportunities all
