STATE MAY HAVE
 CHARITY HOSPITAL
PLANS BEING FORMULATED TO CONVERT ISAAC FOLSOM CLIN-
 lC INTO HOSPITAL.
AUTHORIZED BY LEGISLATURE
Conference Was Attended By Govern or and Members of State Charity Board-AIl Those Present
 Approve Idea.


 Plans for starting at once the State Charity Hospital authorized by the last legislature were discussed at a conference held this week by Gov ernor Brough, members of the State Charity Hospital Board and represen- tatives of the University of Arkan- sas Medical Department. The confer ence was held at the Isaac Folsom clinic, Second and Sherman streets.
 All those present approved the idea, but deferred action pending an investi- gation as to whether the action would be legal.
 It was suggested that the clinic be converted into the State Charity Hos pital as beginning. It was said that the old hospital could be repaired so that two additional wards could be installed, furnishing facilities for about 100 patients. The Isaac Fol som clinic was constructed at a cost of $25,000 and was donated to the state. It was suggested that Gov ernor Brough issue an emergency proclamation to provide S30,000 for the purpose of euqipping the clinic as hospital. It was said that the $30,- 900 could be secured by selling the state-owned land west of the Deaf Mute Institute. This land was given to the fund for the establishment of the State Charity Hospital by an act of the last legislature.
 Frank Pace. member of the Board of Trustees of the University of Ark ansas, was requested to examine the act of the legislature creating the State General Hospital to ascertain whether the proposed plan would be legal. Governor Brough said he would consider the suggestion that he issue an emergency proclamation.

HERMAN REICHSTAG DEMANDS TIE TRUTH
SIGNS OF AWAKENING IN GER MAN MPIRE-kAlSER WILL
 HELM CRITICISED.
PEOPLE MUST KNOW FACTS
Majority Party Serves Notice That Military Censorship Must Be Modified Within Four
 Weeks.

Copenhagen.-A warning that un. less the German government needs demands of the Reiehstag for reforms, the majority parties will take meas ures, has been given. before the Reichstag Main Committee. Resolu- tions of the majority, introduced by Dr. Karl Heine, Socialist, demanded for the fourth or fifth time, abolition of the political censorship and linita- tion of the military censorship to facts connected with the conduct of the war and criticism thereof It was de- clared to be notorious that the mili- tary authorities exercise a sweeping political censorship of the German press on the pretense that publica- tions of political nature may affect the military spirit of the people.
 Dr, Heine gave the government four weeks, until the assembling of the Reichstag. to amend it's ways. Otherwise, he said, the Reichstag ma jority would take steps. The govern ment has received some half dozen earlier warnings of similar nature and it's response in the present case will be test of the influence of the present majority in the Reichstag.
 Kaiser Criticised
 Speeches and announcements of Emperor William were criticized in the debate on the censorship. Matthias Erzberger Centrist leader, and Dl. Heine called attention to the effect caused by the emperor's impulsive statements which sometimes run counter to the ostensible policy of the government. The emperor's crit ics probably had particularly in mind his recent utterances in regard to England, which he said is Germanys arch enemy and must be defeated at any cost.
 Dr. Heine appears to have demand ed freedom for the press to discuss such utterances of the emperor. Herr Erzberger asked whether Chancellor Michaelis assumed responsibility for what was said by the emperor For eign Secretary von Koulhmann re- piled that he did. The misleading "denials" by the Foreign Office of Premier Kerensky's statement that separate peace offer had been made recently to Russia and of the mes sage said by former Ambassador Ge- rard to have been sent by Emperor William to President Wilson at the outbreak of the war, were brought up. Herr Erzberger said the official com munications were coming into wide discredit abroad owing to the many self-evident contradictions in them.
