CENTRAL POWERS
 UNDECIDED AS ID P0PE's PEACE MOVE
Alderman Papers Say Peace on Proposed Basis
 Is Impossible.

Copenhagen Aug. 1S.-Tne German forelsn office is not yet ready to an nounce the governments stand on the pope's peace proposals and an answer probably will be delayed considerably while the four central powers arc en- deavoring to reconcile somewhat di- vergent views and interests regardins peace. A cordial article in the Co., logne Gazette perhaps presages the German point of view by declaring it is the duty of all governments to sup port any effort at honorable media tion and pointing out that the popc's action is in line with previous efforts of Germany.
 It is evident that Autsria- Hungary will throw it's full weight in favor of an affirmative answer to the pope's welcome proposal just as Bulgaria which recently has been manifesting extreme senstitveness upon Austro- German discussion of the future of Macedonia. will flatly and vehcmently oppose any acceptance of the return of occupied areas. The note, which was sent direct to the emperor by the pope. was published in the morning papers.
 While the Germania. as befits it's representation Catholic charter de- cidedly optimistic regarding the pros poets for tangible results. most pa pers are rather skeptical as to the chances that it will lead to anything in the immediate future At least the Pan-German papers insist that peace on the proposed basis is utterly impossible. The Berlin Tages Zei- tung says the evacuation of Belgium and all occupied regions of France is impossible just because independent Belgium henceforth would be an ire concilable enemy of Germany and it must be subordinated to the security of Germany's frontiers. Even the plan of the former German chancellor pr. von Bcthmann-Hollwegg, for Polish protectorate is rejected be- cause the Poles have shown them selves uugrateful for favors granted them.

WOMEN WARRIORS IN RUSSIAN ARMY
 NJ RENOVATION
Battalion of Deatl1'' Fol. lows in Path Of Many
 Heroic Slav Women.

Although a worldwide sensation
 has been caused by the recent reports
 from Russia telling of the heroic fight ing of the women's legons in the Rus
 sian army, there have been many in-
 stances in the past in which members
 of the gentler sex have rendered yco-
 man service to their country on the
 battlefield. The cases of the Russian
 women. however, afford the first in-
 stance of women openly fighting in any considerable number in the ranks.
 In the majority of the cases in the
 past, the women have concealed their kscN in order to be allowed to fight. The military history of almost every
 nation contains several anecdotes of lthe kind.
 One of the most remarkable cases of the kind in the comparatively re- cent history of the United States was that of Bliss Beeba Beam, an Iowa gWl, who fought in the war against Spain. In order to reach the seat of war in tho Philippines she disguised herself as a cabinboy. Arriving at
 Manila, she disguised herself as a sol dier, and followed the campaign for nearly a year
 Another woman who fought, also in the American army, for the sheer ioy of fighting, was Sonora Loretta Vclas- quiz, a lady of Cuban birth. She was "wlld about war" and when the Amer ican civil war broke out she not only persuaded her husband to desert the Unlon army and join the Confederatcs. tn lot private under his command. When ne refused, she put on a suit of his clothes and made her way to New Or leans. There she sought tailor who could keep a secret, had the clothes altered to suit her figure procured false moustache, and, thus equipped l and embelished, raised company of l recruits and took them to her husband. 1 When the war was over the fair Se- nora r>newed her life of adventure as a California miner.
 From the very beginning of the present great conflict in Europe wom- en have borne arms and served in the ranks. No fewer than twenty women have served in the Hungarian Volun- tary Ukraine legion. and the exploits of Miss Helen Ruz of that corps, would furnish material for whole | library of stirring tales of warfare and adventure. She went through tho | whole Galician campaign, in the worst places of the Carpathian mountains, lost her father, two brothers, and her fiance, gained two medals, was trans ferred to the Uhlans had two ribs broken by a shrapnel splinter, and, according to latest accounts, was still eager to fight
 It IS stated on good authority that Russia. prior to the recent revolution which sent so many of the fair sex into the ranks, had no fewer thanfive hundred. women bearing arms "for God and the Car" One, Madame x .sovetseva, became colonel, and con- manded the Sixth Ira! Cossack Regi- n ment. She was wounded twice while '

A Travellers Companion.

A girl who was setting out on quite a long journey was provided by her friends with Jolze-5ook as an anti- dote to homesickness. Naturally she did not keep its contents to herself, so sociability was promoted among her fellow travellers. The book was just a small, plain notebook, with an anus ing inscription on the flyleaf. In 1t were jokes and funny pictures cut out of magazines and papers and pasted in. Such a book is easily made, and comes in well for soldiers and hospital patients as well as girl travellers.

In Rice Fields,

Rice lands are usually ploughed short time before planting time, and in some parts of southern Louisiana the land IS so low and wet and tue soil so stiff as to necessitate ploughing in the water. Deep ploughing is rec commended by leading rice experts. It has been demonstrated tha; the better the soil and the more thoroughly it is pulverized the better the crop. The roots of annual cultivated plants do not feed much below the plough line; 1t is therefore evident that deep culti vation places more food within reach of the plant.

WILL WORK AM0kG WOMEN DURING bIG
 TABERNACLE MEET
Miss Helen Louise Byrnss
 Said to Be One of Most Effective Speakers.

One of the strong features of a meeting such as the Stephens Tab ernacle meeting is the work among women. This work in Mir. Stephens campaigns is headed by Miss Helen Louise Byrnes. No one could be bet ter fitted for this kind of service than Miss Byrnes. She says she never knew the time when she Was not in tered in Christian work. Miss Byrnes is amply prepared for her work, having been graduated from the Moody Bible institute. and having had a large experience in evangelistic work.
 In tho meetings for women, Miss Byrnes delivers the messages and wherever she has been thoe who have heard her have declared her work most inspiring and helpful. The bus mess girls rally to her in won derful way, and her meetings with them are always productive of great good. She assists also in teaching personal workers classes, and she works also most successfully with the girls of younger age.
 At the time MT. Stephens is preach ing to men only in the tabernacle Miss Byrnes speaks to women only in one of the churches in the city It will be great uplift to Pine Bluff to have the work of this splendid wo- man. Miss Byrnes will arrive with the other members of the Stephens party few days before the meeting begins.

Tho Cabbage.

No other vegetable has increased in popularity in the past few years as much as the cabbage, says today's gar- den lesson from the National Emer- gency Food Garden Commission of Washington, which is <. cooperating with the Herald to bring about the heavy planting of shome gardens in New Britain this year.
 Formerly it's principal use was by the German population in the United States. Today it is universally eaten. It is plentiful in the late fall, winter and spring months when other green vegetables arc scarce.
 Properly cooked cabbage is delicate and digestable. Overcooking of cab- bage makes it indigestable. Young cabbage should never be cooked long, CT than thirty minutes, and winter cabbage not over forty-five minutes.
 Cabbage is a heavy garden feeder and quick grower. For that reason 1t should have rich soil if possible, and If the planting is done early enough in the spring 1t is possible to get two crops from the same land.
 Cabbage does well in heavy soil- particularly late cabbage-and for that reason is likely to thrive on a back yard garden. It is too late now for the early drop unless you can buy seeding plants, but just the right time to be planning for the late crop.
 Cabbage plants are improved by transplanting. For late cabbages. therefore, the seeds should be plant ed in small outdoor bed in May. Plant the seeds in rows about three inches apart. A quarter of an ounce of seed will produce enough plants to make 100 feet of row. When the seedlings come up they may need thinning out the excess plants being transplanted in the seed bed if desired.
 In July transplant these seedlings to the garden, placing the plants eight

SIDE TALKS
Deferred Enjoyment
BY RUTH CAMERON

many other things, and usually want them more keenly.
 To be sure, there is a great satis- faction in the act of putting money into the bank, in going proudly to the receiving teller's window and in seeing him write down the figures in your book. But alas. to most of us 1t is only a calm. placid enjoy ment.
 It bears about the same relation ship to the collaboration of going out and spending money that calm strong, splendidly worthwhile friendship does to passionate love.
 Regularity Is the Backbone of Saving
 There is one thing sure on this sobject-if you are going to try to save money, don't do 1t spasmodical- iy' Regularity is the backbone of saving. And some kind of compul- sion is great thing to stiffen up that backbone. Buy house and make monthly payments on it. Take out Cooperative or insurance,-anythin g that has to be paid at certain time and hence can put in a previous claim before the many things that one owes it to oneself' to buy.
 Or save a certain proportion of each raise. You lived on your salary before you got the raise. You can surely live on your salary plus half the raise.
 Deferred enjoyment is what the political economists call saving. Re- member that, when the way seems hard and thorny.

All life is full of conflicts. We want to be good and we want to be bad at the same moment. We want our way and we want to be unselfish. We want to be cultured and educated, yet we aren't willing to make the re- quisite effort. We. would not play false and yet would wrongly win. We want to spend our money and we want to save it.
 And in the case of the average human being. I don't believe there is any conflict that rages more con- stantly or more fiercely than that last.
 Miserliness is the rarest sin know.
 A Sin We Might We'll Try.
 to Commit.
 Most of us could try our hardest to sin in that direction with advantage.
 There are always so many easily justif1able ways of spending money.
 Good looking, becoming clothes are justihable expenditure.-"pers publicity" you know. Only the rich can afford to be shabby.
 And an attractive home,--what's the use of living if you can't have your surroundings reasonably attrac- tive?

 And we must have vacations or we can't work efficiently. - And so 1t goes.

ANAEMIC PEOPLE
Need More Iron i'm the Blood.

Need More Iron in the Blood.
 If you are anaemic, you need more iron in your blood, and the tell-tale symptoms are a pale face,-color- less lips, ashen finger nails, poor circulation, and short breath, and more serious diseases are easily con- tracted when in this condition.
 MT. w. H. Hodges, of Kansas City, Mo-, says:-"I suffered from the ef- fects of bad blood. was rundown, dizzy, had headaches and did not feel like working. I had tried Beef Iron and Wine without any help. After taking Vinol four days I no- ticed an improvement and its con- tinued use built up my blood and my bad feelings disappeared like magic"
 Tho bad effects of poor, devitalized blood cannot be overestimated, and it is the beef and cod liver peptones, iron and manganese peptonates and contained in Vinol that enriches the blood, improves the circulation and in this natural man. ner builds up health and strength. Try it on our guarantee.
