The Forest Service, Department of Agriculture, authorizes the following:
 The regiment of lumbermen, offici- ally known as the Tenth Engineers (Forest) and nicknamed the Humber jack regiment" has been recruited to full strength, it was announced today and the Forest Service which has been securing the men, has been notified by the War Department to list no more candidates for service with this regiment. In anticipation, however, of possible call soon for another regiment of the same chracter the listing officers all over the country have been instructed to continue list ing names of suitable men who may be summoned when needed.

 Col. Woodruff, of the Regular Army who will head the regiment, is in charge and with the assistance of a staff, made up of practical lumbermen and foresters, is providing an equip ment of the most up-to-date charac- ter for the type of woods operations called for in the list of the experience of the allies.

1000 EXTRA MEN
 NEEDED IN RICE FIELDS

Little Rock, Aug. 17-It is estimat- ed that one thousand extra men will be needed in Arkansas rice fields to help with the harvest, which will begin the first week in September, according to Paul MeDaniel of Stuttgart, State Manager of the Southern Rice Grower Association, who was at the state capitol yesterday for conference of the labor problem with John H. Page, Commissioner of Agriculture, and Ben D. Brickhouse, State Labor Commis- sioner
 There will be a meeting of rice growers of Arkansas county at De- Witt Saturday to discuss measures for obtaining additional help. The grow CTS perfer Arkansas Labor and men experienced in hauling rice or wheat. The Agricultural Department and La Dor Bureau will assist in producing the necessary number of harvest hands that there may be no delay or loss in gathering this important food crop.
 Secretary Daniels says that the total rice acreage this year will be 143, JAG acres, as compared with 116,000 acres last year and that the yield promises to be 90 per cent of a perfect crop. The ten per cent loss is due to over planting. Growers being eager to help in food production, in some in- stances sowed more rice than their plants could irrigate and weeds got the best of the grain where the crop was not thoroughly watered The crop is now practically made, and there is a promise of yield in Arkansas of T. 500,000 bushels.

HOME GUARDS HAVE
 SPLENDID DRILL


 The Malvern Home Guard drill was attended by about 30 members last night at the School grounds, and a splendid drill was had for about two hours.
 Lieutenant Maurice Chamberlain who is here on a ten days furlough, assisted in the drilling, and much good instruction was received. The guard is learning fast, and will soon present a fine appearance.
 Through the courtesy of c. E. Mat tison, the weeds, which have been a great annoyance on the drill grounds, have been cut.

A CORRECTION
Editor of the Daily Record:-

Dear Sir:
 In recent communication to your paper concerning the formation of a Red Cross Chapter in Malvern mis- take was made Tnasmuch as I wrote that article will you please allow me to correct the mistake? In the article I stated that all who had contributed over one dollar in the recent Red Cross campaign were priv ileged to designate one dollar of their contribution to the Chapter and so be- come a member.
 I have learned today that I was wrong in making that statement. In the recent campaign all contributions were made for the Red Cross War Fund. The campaign that is on now is for the formation of a Red Cross Chapter in Hot Spring county, with Malvern as headquarters. in order to get a charter from the Red Cross Society for chapter, there must be 800 members, each paying one dollar. Fifty cents of this dollar is sent to headquarters, and fifty cents is retain- ed here for the expense of the Chapter work
 The ladies are making a vigorous ef- fort to secure the necessary five hund- red members for the formation of Chapter, and any one, man woman, or child may become a member and it is hoped that no one will take refuge behind a former subscription and re-

ment, Spain will be asked to take over
the affairs of this country in Austria.
In diplomatic circles last night great
interest was attached to the official state
ment Of Foreign Minister Zimmerman in
Berlin, discussing the break with the
United States. The declaration of the
German minister that Germany is anx-
ious to avoid hostilities, and that Ger
many is in accord with President Will
sons declaration on this point, in his
speech announcing the break with Con-
Gress, was studied carefully. There was
a vague suggestion that in some way
Germany might so conduct her submarine
warfare on neutrals as to avoid further
trouble with the United States, but the
suggestion was based more on hope than
on faith. German officials declared that
there was no possibility Of the slightest
modification of the German submarine or
ders, and that American vessels and
American passengers must take the same
chances that all neutrals will in the war
zone,
Another peace suggestion forthcoming
last night was the renewed possibility
of another bold peace move which might
halt the whole rush of war events. No
one in Washington, however, would sug-
gest what move might be made or who
might be expected to make it It was
recognized that the Presidents useful
ness in direct peace negotiations has
about ended since the break with Ger
many. 1t was suggested that In some
manner a conference of neutrals might
get together and take steps to end the
war, but the suggestion received little
encouragement among neutral diplomats.

CONGRESS SIGHTS RIFT
IN LOWERING WAR CLOUDS

Among both Senators and Representa-
tives yesterday the war cloud hanging
over the United States showed a rift in
the shape of a general belief that the Ger
many policy of unrestricted warfare on
the seas will have a wholesome regard
for American rights
The dissipation OF the early rumors
that American ships had been sunk with
out warning, and that American lives
had been sacrificed in the Teuton subma-
rine campaign, served to cement a gen.
ersl feeling that Germany will be care
full"
In the agitation that has followed the
Presidents announcement Of diplo-
matte breach with Germany, the path of
the preparedness" advocates has been
smoothed. Amendments to the navy bill,
now under consideration, and to the army
bin, ready for report to the House, add
appropriations that would not have been
passed a fortnight ago. but today will
find only perfunctory opposition.
