prepared for him by Lloyd George and

One Of the biggest pieces Of iegisla-
tion to be tackled this session will be
the general election bill, upon which
a special speakers committee is now
sitting. Under an ancient statute no
parliament can live longer than seven
years, so unless this is modified, a
general election must be held next fall.
There is considerable agitation in this
connection with reference to soldiers
voting the election. The military
authorities object largely on account
of the bother it will entail, and par
TALLY because It will necessarily dis
tract the troops from what is consid- /
cred more important business
1t is possible, as solution, that an.
other venerable precedent may be
shattered, by allowing the present
parliament to continue for the period
of the war

THAT the women are patriotic ana

 CT Speaks at Pine Bluff

:. At the State Baptist Conven- '.tion (coD in Pine Bluff the past week Rev. s. s. Odom of Brink ley, Vice-President of the con- vention, spoke and is quoted in the Pine Bluff Commercial as follows:
 Tt is time for every young negro to prepare to help to fight the battles of his country, and any one who is not looking for. ward to serving his country and our president, Woodrow Wilson, is unworthy of of the name man, and is not entitled to protection under our flag.
 "The greatest thing on earth is to be a Christian and an Amer can citizen. Nothing higher in this world, and if you are those two things you are somebody and something. I love Old Glory, and then love the man selected by the people of our country as president, and while am min ister, l stand ready to-day, if called upon, to shoulder my gun and go into the trenches, or on the open battle field, and spill my blood as freely as l would sit down to a good chicken din- ner. God first, country next and then family; touch either of these and you must fight me, and it will mean a fight unto death."

 We are hoping next for a school house so that our boys and girls will not have to leave home to go to school.

President Moy Address
Congress on Reply to Pope

WASHINGTON. Aug. 24.-President
Wilson may decide to address Congress
on peace at the same time he makes
reply to Pope Benedict's proposals. In
that way he would take the national
legislative body into his confidence,
and, at the same time. not only inform
the country on the question, but also
enable members Of Congress to carry
the governments views home to the
people when Congress adjourns.
Il is understood that the President
will have before him very soon the
substance of the replies Great Britain
and France will make to the Pope.
From Viscount Ishii, head of the jap
anese mission, the President will get
an intimate understanding OF Japan's
purposes In the situation and also, IL
IS understood, a very close estimate
OF the situation in Russia.
II seems to be generally accepted in
official and diplomatic circles that the
Pope's proposal cannot be accepted.
Indeed, there have been indications
from the Vatican that Pope Benedict
did not expect il would be accepted,
but addressed the belligerents with
the purpose OF building the ground
work for another discussion later on.
The unofficial forecast Of what the
President will say II he speaks is that
Pope Benedict's proposal contains
nothing on which to proceed, and that
a discussion of peace terms can best
be approached by Germany stating
hers, as the Allies have done.

u. S. Spending
S24,O0O,OOO a Day
To Carry on War
Over Two Billions Paid Out
Since Nation Took Up
Arms, 40 Days Ago

WASHINGTON, Aug 24.-War ex-
penditures OF the United States, in
cluding Allied loans, have mounted
during kugust to more than s24,000,0O0
every twenty-four hours.
The figures, minus Sl00,000,00o just
loaned TO Russia, are contained in to-
days Treasury statement. Two-thirds
Of the great sum is represented by
advances to the Allies. The United
States has been spending daily during
August for its own needs an average of
s8,Os8.652. The Allies have been re-
ceiving an average daily allowance Of
S16,375. 900. Including cash already
paid and the new Russian credit,
which will be paid shortly, the total
daily expenditure during August thus
reaches S24,46365
Since war was declared, 140 days ago,
the Treasury has paid out a total of
s2.9S7. .49O,086, Of which $3.50, 100000
has been advanced 70 the Entente gov
ernments. The average daily disourse-
r1ent during the period OF the war has
been Sl7,053.5OO. The average daily
payment TO the Allies during the lao
dav period has been Sll l,650,0OO. The
remaining S5,403, 800 represents the
expenditures for the army and navy.
With the new National Army under
arms, the shipbuilding and air craft
construction programmes we'll under
vav, expenses will soon reach greatly
higher levels. A conservative estimate
of the Treasury daily expenditure by
the beginning of the new year places
the total at from S35,OOo,OOo to s4O,-
100000
The United States has paid out for
its own needs since il entered the war
SIZE, 800 ,0s6. of which S741, ,l56,766 was
spent in military, naval and admins
trative functions.
At present the government is spend
ing a sum estimated at from s5,0OO,OoO
TO $4,000 900 daily above the current
receipts from ordinary sources. The
Treasury statement for to-day, an ex-
ceedingly light day for disbursements,
shows the total of s7,750,566. Total
receipts from ordinary sources, un-
usually high, were S3,3l2,225.

submit the names of his appointees TO
the Senate 1t is understood that the
Governor had agreed with the war
committee TO put his appointees up 10
the Senate at this session.
Amendments Voted Down
One Of the principal amendments
voted down by the Senate was that
offered By Senator Wagner, calling for
the absolute seizure by the Food Con-
troll Commission Of boarded food with
out all the red tape which he asserts is
IN the war committee bill He said
that this procedure should be accom-
plished overnight instead Of after
weeks Of litigation, and that IL his
amendment were no. enacted it would
be demanded by the people before the
session Of the Legislature next winter.
The Senate also beat Mr.. Wagner's
motion 10 cut out the provision that
the state and the localities divide
equally the expense of market termi-
mails. New York City demanded this
amendment on the ground that it would
not only have to pay for half Of its
own market terminal. but approximate
ly 20 per cent of the terminals Of all
the upstate municipalities.
Senator Sage said that the provision,
sought TO be eliminated by Senator
Wagner, was put in for the benefit Of
New York City. He said that New
York needed such terminal more than
any other municipality, and that there
was little likelihood Of many Of the
upstate localities asking for markets.
Another amendment killed was that
providing that labor organizations as
well as organizations of farmers be

said: "Of course | am glad that Gov
ernor Whitman's bill has passed
