JUNE 5. 1s65-June 5, 1sI.

These two dates are coincidental, as to days and months, but noncoin- cidental as to years and significance June 5, 1865, was the final ending of the Civil War, the surrender of all the boys west of the Mississippi river Our boys went to old Jaeksonport to surrender.
 June 5, 1917, is the beginning, in a way, of the world war with the Unit ed States. Registration of the flower of our land of the free and home of the brave. 1t reaches away dowr deep in my soul as think of it. Well do rememeber on the 11th of June, 1861, when the no picked men of our old community and adjoining neigh borhoods gathered at Sulphur Rock under the leadership of the gallant Capt. John H. Dye. It was a scene to boy, ten years old; or to any one else. To try to describe it would be too tedious and pathetic Old men, old women, fathers, mothers, brothers sisters, friends and sweethearts, were there to say goodbye to the soldier, husband or neighbor, print a sacred kiss on his lips and breath a devout prayer to God for his will being. I saw them line up, and heard my sweet, now angel sister, Mary, deliver the address and present the flag. 1 saw the old folks go down the line with the goodbye hug and kiss" for son, and husband and friend. I got about half way down the line to Jack Holeomb, when all at once it went to pieces and 1 did not get to tell them all goodbye and I felt I was ruined. Into line again, two and two, and off for the war they marched, out the old military road toward Do ta.
 Poor old boysl Many, many never returned.
 And on the 5th of June, 65, my brother, Tom, got home out of the war. That was a joyful day at our old home. A little remarkable that his entire mess" all got home, Tom Jernigan, Tom Padgett, Tom Ward, Ped Tunstall, Crock Wade and Will Holcomb
 Another thought: I see your re- marks about your High School. A word or two now and l let go. 1 see the first school house built at Newark little box house, in the corner next to the To mRaney home. I used to preach in it. Then I see the big stately brick, you now have. And it is now too small We'll, 1t is not saying any thing but the truth that as long as the Arnolds and Magnesses live at Newark, and marry and multiply you will still have to build new school houses.

GOOD ROADS A NECESSITY


 Since the advent of motor driven vehicles good roads are more of ne cessity in all parts of the country than ever before. The farmer is thc largest gainer from road improve ment, although it is difficult to get him to see it in that light. Where the roads have been improved the farms are rapidly improving. Good roads afford quick and easy trans portation and the farmer has almost unconciously caught the spirit of improvement, and the time saved in hauling is being used for farm i'm provement.

Why s2slesgsGatiszas ,- .4a.ae.1
 With Cold Weather
BY VALENTINE MOTT PIERcN. M. D

A close connection exists between these two cold weather and rheu- matism. Prof. Alex. Haig, of London, has the most followers in the medical profession in the belief that the pres ence in the system of uric acid, or it's salts in excess, is the real cause of rheu- matism. Everyone has recognized the difference in the appearance of their water as soon as it gets cold; there is often a copious sediment of brickdust.
 Several causes may lead up to an accumulation of uric acid in the system, which, in turn, causes rheumatism or gout, or creaky joints, or swollen fingers, or painful joints. For one reason the skin does not throw off the uric acid, by profuse sweating, as in the hot weather, and the kidneys are unable to take care of the double burden. Another reason
The Newark journal., 1917-08-02

is that people do not drink as much water in cold weather as in summer, which helps to flush the kidneys. Again, they eat more meat in cold weather, and some people are so susceptible that they soon develop rheumatism after eating meat.
 At all such times persons should drink eopiously of hot water, say pint morning and night, and take Anuric three or four times a day. This An uric comes in tablet form and can be had at almost any drug store. It dis solves the uric ac.d in the system and carries it outward. 1 would advise everyone to take Anuric occasionally, and continue for three or four weeks, and in that way avoid rheumatism, gout and many of the painful disorders due to uric acid.

SALVATION ARMY MAY COME TO JUNEAU
Headquarters for Alaska May Be Moved Here from Wrangel if
 Reports 0. K.

Juneau may be the headquarters for the Salvation Army for Alaska and incidentally this city may have a Salvation Army Corps and Bar racks. H
 Ensign w. Kerr, financial repre- sentative of the Salvation Army for British Columbia, Alaska and the Yukon, has arrived in the city and is quietly and carefully looking over the situation and will make de- tailed report to Adjutant and Mrs Habkirb, who are stationed at Wran- gell, the present headquarters of the Salvation Army Ensign Kerr will look into all details and especially the financial support that he may receive here. All this information will be laid before the adjutant who has charge of this district.
 Ensign Kerr is a pioneer in Salva- tion Army work in Alaska, having been engaged for the past taen years in this district. From 1908 to 1910 he was stationed at Killisnoo and since that time has been financial representative of the three divisions of the Army. Ensign Kerr stated that the greater part of the work of the Army now was for the Red Cross and the Soldiers Rests. In Great Britain the army is almost solely engaged in Red Cross work and establishing Soldiers Rests. The barracks of the Army in England especially are now in the hands of the War Department and are being used for various purposes.
 The Armies work in British Colum bia has also been along similar lines and relief work of various kinds predominant in the Yukon Territory. In the Alaska division the greater part of the Salvation Army's work is with the Natives. Concerning the work of the Salva- tion Army Ensign Kerr stated that 153 refreshment and recreation huts camps in Great Britain, France and other countries at a cost of $336,- 900; IT hotels and naval and mili- tary homes, with 4,000 beds, costing over $384,000, are in operation, and extensions amounting to $96,000 are in progress. Thirty ambulance cars have been supplied for the war zones in France, Russia and Egypt, at an expense of ,$4S,O0o, and 3oo,- 900 soldiers and sailors are catered for weekly in our various institu- tions; 41,000 food parcels and arti- cles of clothing have been dispatched to prisoners of war and our soldiers and sailors, and 30,000 relatives of service-men entertained at teas and social gatherings.

ed as exact Mir. Lloyd Georges statements are manipulations of fig ures.
 "He mixes net and gross losses, anxiously avoiding definite partic- ulars as to total British losses in tonnage. It is interesting to note his remark that all tonnage sunk, among that requisitioned for the military, must be compensated from tonnage available for commercial purposes. His statement respecting British shipbuilding must be viewed with the utmost doubt.
 For continuation of the U-boat warfare all materials and the per sonnel required are ready in ample measure, so that, in military re- spect, there can not be any doubt that it will be continued efficient ly"

Thousands Are Being Made to Protect Ships; All Boats to Have This
 Latest Device.
GUARD SECRET CLOSELY
Screens when Tossed Over Side of Ship Sends Dense Volumes
 of vapor.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1. Thou sands of smoke producers to protect American troops, food and munition ships from submarines are being turned out by government contract cr in Delaware
 On and after the first of October TO ship of any description may sail from an American port unless they are equipped with them. On thai date, too, all vessels must be painted by a system of camfoulage worked out by the naval consulting board Details of these systems are govern ment war secrets.
 'If I told how it was done" said Admiral Rosseau of the naval con sulting board, the Germans would know what to look for"
 The smoke screens will be used 1nly as a last resorE Twelve smoke boxes will be on every vessels deck. There will also be one huge. though practically invisible smoke funnel.
 Should one of the aKiser's U- boats detect the spirit-like trappings If one of these American ghosts of the sea, the smoke funnel will be started and the smoke boxes dumped overheard"
 The action of the sea water on one of the ingenious combinations of chemicals will throw off great clouds of dense black smoke and the ship can slip away. Once used, however, the smoke boxes are worn out. The smoke funnel costs about $l25 and the smoke boxes $25 each.
 The government hopes to save thousands of tons of shipping by these precautions and has also stip ulated that after October 1st every ship sailing must be protected with guns manned by a naval gun crew and must use smokeless coal while travelling in the submarine zone.

 It is understood that MT. Shows removal is direct result of his having given expression to his belief that Gov Strong and Secretary Charles F. Davidson, as members of the canvassing board, erred when they attempted to give a certificate of election as Delegate to James Wickersham. His record as an of sicial is admitted to be good

On this promise that he hereafter would act with the Demo rats he was supported by the Dem >cratic Senators for President of the Territorial Senate last March, but ,oon after that notable contest he was again in line with Senator Suth ,rland He unavailingly protested against the confirmation of Judge Robert w.

Places Entire Blame For European Conflict To Jealousy Over
 Commerce
BRITAIN WAS AT FAULT
British Threw all Europe Into ConfIagration Because Trade of
 Huns Increased

AMSTERDAM, Sept. l. - Vice Chancellor Helfferich, during debate before the main committee of the German Reichstag, said the real req son why Great Britain entered the war was the fact that Germany's s trade would in 1917 presumably have reached the level of the trade of Great Britain.
 This war; the vice-chancellor said, "is the result of tension creat- cd by the fact that Great Britain was constantly feeling the glaring and increasing disproportion be- tween her superior world and naval power and Germany's increasing eco- homie strength.
 One ought clearly to recognize that Great Britain's object was our economic oppression. To abandon onself to any illusion in this re- spect would be fateful."
 Dr. Helfferich repudiates as un- justified the reproach that he ever had made any prophecies respecting the efficacy of the German sub marine warfare
 "Prophesying, he said, '1 leave to Great Britain. Premier Lloyd Georges statistics in his latest speech are mere humbug. If the British Premier, contrary to his de- claration in April, now draws a favorable picture of the situation although it certainly has not be- come favorable-this proves first that public opinion in Great Brit ain urgently needs to be confronted and second that Lloyd George con siders it necessary to play upon Ger man public opinion.
 Despite Americas Aid.
 This impression is confirmed by the obvious consideration that Pre- mier Lloyd Georges words can only ace which operates. despite the pros pect of Americas aid, in the tre- mendous dash on the western front, with an immense concentration of men and material.
 This menace is not so much on land or in the air as it is on the water. The opinion shared by Mir Lloyd George, that fine weather is particularly favorable for U-boat activity is mistaken one. Smooth seas and lulls in the wind are very disagreeable for U-boats, especially in view of the enemy's defensive measures, regarding aircraft in par ticular. Some U-boat commanders are of the opinion that submarine warfare can be carried on with still better results when the weather is not too fine and the nights are longer.
 The navigation of ships under es- cort obstructs the scope of the U- boats. of course, but it also involves considerable disadvantage for the enemy. owing to the fact that such a flotilla is unhandy and has diffi- culty in eluding a submarine quick ly.
 Manipulates Figures.
 AS sea traffic dimfnishes, sink ings of course will probably de- crease gradually. Today the sink ing of even a single ship is felt much more intensely by the Entente than at the beginning of the U-boat war.
