MAKES PLEA IN BEHALF DE ARMENIAN PEOPLE
Rev. H. A. Stowell Addresses Rotar- ians on Thanksgiving Service,
 and Relief Work.

day was devoted mostly to enterCaln- ment in the lighter vein, tho there were several good talks on matters pertain. ing to the best interests of Pine Bluff, particularly those by Frank N. Hem
 derson, attorney and publisher of Eng. land, and Rev. H. A. Stowell, rector of Trinity Episcopal church. Other
 speakers were Warren M. Taylor, Sol
 Klarberg, Dr. N. E.. Hughes of New
 Gascony, E. w. Gouse of Dallas, Tex as, and G. D. Hollowell, formerly of Memphis, but who has decided to make his home here.
 Rev. MT. Stowell said he had found that the Rotary club is good place to go to with an announcement or q plea," and he therefore appeared to solicit the aid of the Rotarians in making the Thanksgiving community service at the tabernacle tomorrow evening, "the first of it's kind ever held in Pine Bluff" the greatest Thanksgiving service on record, the speaker pointing out that "in no oth- CT year have we had SO great cause to be thankful" Dr. Stowell said this was not only because of bumper crops, and prosperity, but because i've have awakened to our responsibility in be- half of civilization and humanity" and are doing "our part" The collection at the Thanksgiving service, he said, would be devoted to the relief of the Armenians, who are starving, and he urged that all attend the service, and make their contributions as liberal as justified by their blessings. Dr. Sto- well also announced that on next Tues day evening, a noted Armenian will make an address at the tabernacle in behalf of the members of his race victims of Turkish cruelty, melted by Prussians.
 MT. Henderson spoke briefly upon the visit to this state next year of the National Editorial association, and said that this convention will be worth millions to Arkansas in publicity, lin putting Arkansas in it's proper light before the nation, as the editors will do after they have toured the state,' , he said the committee in charge of the convention arrangements will give Pine Bluff as much time as possible, and wanted to know the city's desires. On motion of Dr. Wm. Breathwit, the club designated George H. Adams to attend the meeting of the state com |mittee on December 6, authorized to represent the club in framing the pro- gram.
 k MT. Taylor, who recently returned from Rochester, Minn., told of the Mayo brothers work in behalf of suf- fering humanity. He said that one surgeon who is not 43 years of age, performed 5000 operations last year,
 and that out of 4,000 cases of goitre trsstsd t,,s by a.4 young specialist "only The quartet from the "1917 Vode Revue" appearing at the Qrpheo thea.
 tre won liberal applause with several
 songs. This quartet is composed of
 Raymond Justice, Billy Devore, Geo, Crum and Joe Van, whose-voices blend well. Fred Ketch, ventriloquist, also with the "Vode Revue" made mario
 nette say witty things, sing songs and
 perform ludicrous stunts" provoking roars of laughter.
 Sam B. Russell, vice president of the
 club, presided at the meeting, H Kemp Toney, president, being absent on a hunting trip.

WORK OF PICKETING
Will Not Quit Because of War Crisis.
Says Miss Alice Paul.

In response to statements appearing In
several New York papers that the suf-
frasist piclkets at the White House were
going to relinquish their job because Of
the war crisis. Miss Alice Paul. national
chairman Of the Congressional Union for

lives Is undertaken by the government
We shall push with renewed visor our
plans for our national convention In
Washington in March. We are sending

him our insistent demand that no action
ON war or on any other measure be taken
without the consent of women.
Nov, above all times, must women hold
aloft the banner calling for full political

ARTISTIC Washington
|. DISCUSSED At Meeting
Secretary of War and Other Officials
Speak on Capital City.

The City Of Washington as an Artistic
Composition" was the subject discussed
at a meeting held last night at o'clock
at the Central High School under the
auspices of the Washington Society Of
Fine Arts.
Secretary of War Newton D. Baker.
Col. w. w. Harts, Commissioner Of
Public Buildings and Grounds, and Dis
trict Commission Oliver P. Newman
spoke on Washington as 1t was, as 1t
is at present. and the prospects for the
future.
Secretary Baker spoke Of the difference
between cities in the United States and
cities abroad. He said no people In the
world live as freely as the American
people THE building of cities Is really
the building of the men and the women
who live in them" he continued. The
way to suppress common wrongs COM
mitted in the cities Is not through the
making of laws for the punishment OF
the offenders, but by the building up
better environments and surrounolngs
such as parks and recreation srounas.
Col. w. w. Harts used stereoptlcon
slides to illustrate his talk on the
prospects for the future for the city
of Washington.
He said the Capital was the only
city of all capitals of the world that
started with a plan. other cities start
ed around villages, hamlets, or gather
ing points Of trade and gradually
grew into large settlements and hnally
into cities. Interest in washington
according to Col. Harts. is increasing
throughout the country. He created
laughter and applause when he said
that Washington is the only city In
the country that has ever been pro-
tected by Congress from Its own
citizens.
Commissioner oliver P. Newman
spoke upon municipal service. Mr.: II.
H. Freeman, organist of St johns
Church, rendered several organ SOLOS
on the large new pipe organ in the
auditorium.

SIN IS LIKE LEPROSY
EVANGELIST DECLARES
Keeps Spreading Until 1t Masters Soul,
Says Smith.

1T Is not thought improper for a young
girl to flirt with a man, but when she
takes the false step she is forever barred
from the homes OF respectable persons -
said Gypsy Smith In his famous sermon
on The Moral Leper' at the Sixteenth
street tabernacle last night.
"A man can go out and drink wine and
play cards all night long and society in
dorses it as the proper thing. But let
him go a step farther. Let people know
that he is a drunkard. and what is the
result? People shun him. He is branded
for life and thrown out from decent So
ciety. It's because he is a leper!
''Sin is like leprosy in its beginning.
1t keeps growing and spreading until IT
is the master OF your soul.
1T is question you have to decide.
The question of which shall be the con-
dueror of your soul-sin or the Word of
God?,

Postal savings are destined to become
the most popular method of conserving
money with the masses, in the opinion
of Charles H. Fallaway, assistant d.
rector of the Postal Savings system, ex-
pressed in a lecture before the Washing
ton chapter of the American Institute OF
Banking last night
On January /, 1911, there were sl12Ooo,- :
900 deposited in postal savings. represent
ing more than 100000 investors. Mr.. Full

any circumstances take a step which
would give Germany ground for taking
offense.
With all eyes on the war zone last night,
IL was authoritatively stated that the
sinking of the California had not yet de-
veloped into an "over act' within the re-
quirements laid down by the President
as to American lives and American
ships" 1t was stated, however, that
Ambassador Page and Consul Frost at
