 The confidence you manifest in me by your petition calls from my heart the deepest sentiments of gratitude and appreciation.
 Yours respectfully,

Fact is, we believe every resident of the Pine Bluff country is simply an American prince, who kowtows to mo- body, and is willing to fight any foreign foe in defense of those prin- ciples which permit him to be the peer of any human on this sphere.

DEMOCRACY HAS LEARNED.

Democracy has learned a bit since 1914. At that time it clung tenac!- ously to the volunteer military sys- tenn as the quintessence of democ racy at war.
 And here is how it turned out, talk ing Canada as an example:
 In Canada more thar 100000 mar ried men have volunteered for ser vice overseas; and though 100000 un married men volunteered, fully 4O0,- 900 unmarried men din to volunteer and are still at home.
 If the volunteer system were demo cratic, it would not he possible for 100000 unmarried slackers to remain at home while 100000 married me l went forth to war.
 It is logical that the young, unmar- ried man, having no responsibilities, DO dependents and not being ingrain- ed in the nations commercial or eco- homie life, should be the first to go to the colors.
 Whenever such young fellow fails to hearken to the call of his country and allows a married man to take his place, he wrongs his coun. try.
 It is to obviate such injustice that President Wilson has "reluctantly" come to the conclusion that the rais ing of an army of 100000 men ls only possible through conscription. lie has seen the lesson that England has learned, and that the European continental nations learned before England, and which gave them such a pronounced initial advantage in the conduct Of the war.

her way through the smoke and fumes
to a point where she could drop them
to the ground. John, six years old,
was lost in the darkness, and police
men had to forcibly restrain the frantic
mother from rushing to certain death
in search of him.
The rear porches of the building
were blown away by the explosion, and
this avenue of escape was cut off.
Lieut.. McGeean arrived shortly
after the explosion and directed the
rescue work through the night. Once,
while Engine Co. 5 were working on
a section of the burning building, he
thought he heard groans. He order

He found Peter Spitzney and his
wife, Charlotte, locked in each others
arms on a bed, covered over with ice.
Their Underclothing was frozen to
them. They were still alive. They
were rushed to the hospital, where
Mrs. Spitzney died. Peter revived
sufficiently to ask them to search for
his five children, believed to have
been killed
Throughout the night fire COM
panies fought bravely against the in
tense cold and kept water flooding
the burning tenement. Many of the
firemen had to be chopped free of
the ice that formed around their feet.
They were hampered by frequent gas
explosions in various parts of the
building.

Geo. H. Murphy was aroused by tele-
phone in his magnificent home in
Riverside. He admitted being princi-
pal owner of the building, which was
four stories high and contained eigh-
teen apartments. Lieut. Jos. McGeean
of the Maxwell st. station, gave orders
to arrest Murphy and Campbell on
sight.
The investigations are being made
by the police dept, the fire dept, the
state fire marshal, the gas company,
the building department and the health
department. The police reported that
the tenement was ramshackle affair
built many years ago.
The explosion occurred shortly be-
fore l a. m. in the basement of the
tenement. The gas main gave away
with such force that not only was the
building wrecked completely, but the
street in Fourteenth place was torn
open and windows were shattered in
all buildingsrwithin half-mile radius.
A call was sent in flor fire engines.
When the fremen arrived they found
many already dead from the explosion
and the cold. There were about twenty
small children living in the building.
Frantic parents had thrown some of
them through the windows in an effort
to save them from the flames.
Pitifu1 scenes followed. Men, women
and children were carried from the
building, some of them naked, most of
them unconscious. They were wrapped
in blankets and hurried to the county
hospital. Police and spectators, re-
gardless of the biting cold, whipped
off their overCoats and covered the
