HOLDS RECORD
 FOR RELEASING FEL0N THIEVES
Arkansas Governor Freed 889 Convicts During
 Stay in Office

Hot Springs, March 19.-Full sta- tistics now available accord to former Governor George w. Hays, whose term expired Jan. 10, the record as a wholesale pardoner of criminals. No state executive anywheTn has ever been so lenient From the time he assumed office in 1913 he turned out of the prisons a drove of criminals. some of whom had committed of- lenses of a vicious nature.
 He freel5 8S9 in all. and of those 160 were murderers. Forty-five ser wing sentences for manslaughter and sixteen, who had been guilty of invol- untary manslaughter were released.
 But it was toward thieves his heart was even more greatly moved to mer- cy than toward murderers. The rec ord shows that he pardoned absolute ly or conditionally 252 persons who had been convicted of grand larceny and burglary have also been turned loose. Fifty-two convicted of assaults with intent to kill are nav at large.
 His mercy fell also upon arsonists robbers, wife deserters, yeggmen of all degrees, bootleggers, perjurers embezzlers. tresrassers, bigamists, fences and night riders.
 Some of those who were pardoned have committed few offenses that re- turned them to jail.
 pr. Charles Hillman Brough, now governor and formerly professor ot political economies at the State uni versity, says he does not think he will be moved to issue so many pardons during his term of office and has al ready prepared a bill for the legisla- ture recommending the establishment of a pardon board.

ENGLISH ARMY OFFICER lAUDS
 U. $. MILITARY
Highly Train e d Regulars
 Can Make Volunteer e Forces an Able Body.

London, March 1s.-Colonel Rep fngton,, the anilitary correspondent of the Times. writes as follows in the course of an article on the United States army:
 'tThe United States army is gallant army, composed of fine men, led by officers of high attainments, but it is not an army in the modern sense. Von Hindenburg probably has influenced the German general staff's view of American military power as of no ac- count and probably will remain of no account during the ouration of the war"
 After describing the American army and militia organization and stating that the census of 1910 showed 2O,- DOC, 900 men of military age in the country Colonel Repington proceeds as follows:
 ."The general staff of the United States army and the many prominent American statesmen who have been secretaries of war or otherwise con- nected with the army must have work ed out long ago the plans to be fol- lowed in the event of such a crisis as has now arisen.
 Direct military intervention of the United States in the war in Europe is not practicable, even were America to desire it. The obvious course is to 1lse the highly trained regulars, par ticularly the officers, as the nucleus for a volunteer army which should not form at any one time force lar ger than can be properly trained
 We cannot doubt in the light of past experience in American military practice that in popular cause re- cruits would flock to the colors by the hundreds of thousands. but an army so formed would be a hindrance rath- CT than a help except in case of inva- sion, to which the United States would hardly be exposed.
 "The United States has one great advantage. She is self contained and not exposed to serious attack She is populous and wealthy Potential in- ternal difficulties may vanish if the country be united.
 A capable general staff exists to point out the way. West Point train ing and discipline will assert them selves over volunteer army grouped around regulars and cadets. The war Industries which have been expanded and created for the service of the bel ligerents will be at Americas disposal.
 If she elects to aid the cause it will prove for her that the old fire ie not extinct. If the aid of America r-ill ',c more useful immediately in finance and on the seas the eventual employ pent of her army in support of her policy must be foreseen"

RIGHTS WITH
 LAY POPULATION ARE
 DEMANDED BY MONKS
Famous Monasteries Scenes of Revolutionary Ehthus- iasm; All Traces of Auto cratism Vanish.

PETROGRAD. May 2S (via London 11:51 p. m.).-The inmates of the Rus sian monasteries. in an excess of revo lutionary zeal. are demanding equal rights with the lay population, includ ing the vote. which until now has been forbidden by precedent. In order to prove their fitness for citizenship, the monks have set about eradicating all traces of their former autocratism, re Iactfonary, and particularly semi semitic policies. and are destroying their stores of anti-liberal and pogorm literature. which was supplied to them by the police security department" now abolished.
 The monks of Russia's biggest. rich est and most famous monastery, Troit- sa-Lavra. near Moscow, which is his toric owing to having withstood two sieges by Polish armies in the seven teenth century. made bonfires last week of reactionary pamphlets in the monastery court yard. One report says that the monks danced around the flames.
 Still greater revolutionary enthusi- asm. real or feigned, has been displayed in Kiev's celebrated Pestchora mon astery. in the catacombs of which re- pose the bones of hundreds of saints of the orthodox church.
 This monastery is particularly mo- torius for pogromist agitation, in which it took an active part for the prosecu- tion of the Jew Beilist ritual murder. The monastery authorities now have strictly forbidden reactionary agita- tions and a committee of monks has been formed to obtain political equal ity. At KaIan. in east Russia, com mittee of workmen's and soldiers dep uties discovered that large number of inflammatory pamphlets were stored in convent The committee threat ened to raid the place, and the nuns, horrifie >dby the prospect of intrusion on their inviolate sanctuary. sent word that they would destroy the pamphlets themselves.
