PACIFIST LOST
 STRIKERS JOB

Londno, April 12.-S. H. Thomas, an Australian, living in London, will be called to the colors May 6, for garrison duty abroad, despite his conscientious scruples against killing Germans.
 As manager of metal company Thomas sold tons of material for the intuition factories, but his con science didn't bother him.
 "I admit taking profit from munitions which are intended to kill people," he said, but on tered the business as a boy when there was no war
 That ruined his chances before the military tribunal
 Conscientious, objectors whose scruples against killing are recog- nized by military authorities are no longer compelled to work as di- rect war auXiliaries. But if they are called up they must participate in some work of national importance.

more about it. You may say if we had good poads it would not cost near so much to haul our produce to market, and it would also en- nance the value of our property. That might be true, but it is also true that as the value of the farms are increased the taxes also would
 be increased but it would not make the land produce any more corn or cotton. We are paying an- nually to have the water taken off our roads; wait until that is done , then we will build our own roads.

of Bagwells lake (except Bertig). Eugene Kettles is raising a little army, not to fight Germany, but to fight to the finish this present high way proposition. J. T. HOPKINS.
 Mr. Hopkins complaint seems to be that those in Paragould who are agitating good roads expect them to be paid for by the farmers. Without going into the matter of statistics carefully. we will venture the assertion that land owned by people in Paragould. plus land owned by people in the country who are interested in Paragould, is worth at least fifty per cent more than land owned by the agrarians who are not interested in the city. If good roads are built The Daily Press and Weekly Soliphone will contribute as much in proportion to the value of it's property as any landowner. business or profession al man in the entire county. This amount will be offered in the na- ture of donation, whether we are taxed or not

ECONOMIC PLANS
 TO BE OUTLINED
Mass Meeting Will Be Held At Court House Tomorrow Night
 To Discuss Conditions.

All plans looking to the success of tomorrow nights big mass meet ing at the court house have been completed Today acirculars an nouncing tho meeting are being dis tributed over the city. Copy for the circulars was prepared by w. F. Kirsch, Swho will edeliver an ad dress tomorrow evening. MT. Kirsch has prepared a table of com parative prices, showing the tre- mendous advance in food prices.
 The circular says:
 Our country is atswar. War al- ways means an increase in the cost of living How startling the in crease in the cost of living has been, even without war, you may gather from the following compar- ative table of prices on a few sta ples:
 Navy Beans-1915 price, Sc lb.; price now 1Sc ID.
 Potatoes-1915 price, 75c-$1.00 bu; pricd now $3.20 bu.
 Onions-1915 price 3 to 4c h.; price now, 12 to 5e ID.
 Flour-1915 price, $5$5.50 bbl.; price now, $10-$12 bbl.
 Cabbage-4 to 5c lb.; price now, .12 1-2c ID.
 But WAR means still higher prices, unless we do something. Now is the time every man, wo- man and child may help the na- tion by becoming a producer. If we do it now-RIGHT NOW much can be accomplished to keep down the trend toward higher prices.
 To devise ways al means for helping ourselves, our community, our country, EVERY MAN AND WOMAN should attend the mass meeting at the court house Thurs day night at 7:30 o'clock.

uOOL !Ol IHC pOulCo WCiO So ptbui y charred identification was impossi- ble.
 In the absence of any official statement, many theories as to the cause of the disaster, one of the worst ever experienced in this sec ton, were advanced. Rumors ot plots and arrests of persons both inside and outside of the plant were numerous, but all lacked confirma- tion.
 Twenty Philadelphia detectives were sent to EddystOne soon after the explosion on, rumor 1t was the result of plot. Later, they reported they had learned from of ficials of the corporation who made an investigation that quan- tity of shrapnel had been placed near a radiator and the heat might easily have exploded it. Their opinion is the explosion was purely accidental and they scout sugges- tions of a plot. No arrests have been made.
 An official of the corporation to- night declared that at no time did he believe there was more than one half a ton of powder in the build ing at one time, and that this new CT was in bulk.
 "The powder was kept in a mag azine on the banks of the creek, " this official said, "and was carried to the building in cans that hold about two gallons. From these cans it would be distributed to the workers, who used gauges to fill the shrapnel shells. So far as we have been able to learn, there were only three explosions. Two of these were comparatively light, but the third was terrific, so powerful that boathouse $50 yards away was demolished.
 The explosion, which was felt in Philadelphia, distance of fifteen miles, occurred about 10 o'clock this morning in what is known as the "10 F' building, two-stOry structure, 75x300 feet. More than so per cent of the workers were women and girls. Probably fifty and boys were in the building, and the majority of them escaped.
 Great excitement followed the explosion. A heavy pail of smoke darkened the entire town, which has population of about 5000. This was soon frightened by the flames from the burning building. Rescue squads composed of em- ployes of the plant were quickly formed and call for assistance was sent to Philadelphia, WilIn. ington and ohter nearby points.

 In freezing. clustering weather, with blinding snowstorms, the for ward impetus continues, despite the most desperate resistance. On the blood-soaked crest of Vimy ridge alone it is learned 3,600 German prisoners were taken. The British crimp in German lines now reaches a depth of five miles east of Arras.
