TO the nation whose bulwark that
navy is in these momentOus days
Of the great world war. Ii depicts
the sWiftest things that the human
race has ever put in motion--the
big projectiles hurled from our SUI
per-dreadnaughts at a pressure of
10000 pounds per square inch-at
heat at which diamonds melt and
carbon boils. Howe's reproduction
shows broadside after broadside of
these projectiles fired from our
floating fortresses stripped for ac-
ton. Twenty-Five miles a minute is
the rate at which the projectiies
seek their target. and they reach
it far ahead of their own sound.
The firing Of these "salvos' is
shown by night as well as by day
and while the reproduction of the
broadsides fired by day are extreme
1y spectacular, yet those that are
fired under the cover of night are
even more so. besides presenting
most weird effects. They are a dis
tinct achievement in motion protog-
raphy as il is the first successful
film reproduction ever made by
night direct from the flare and flash
Of the big guns.

 If they succeed they are safe. and Germany and the world are undone; if they fail, Germany is saved and the world will be at peace. If they succeed, America will fall within the menace.

What We Fight

The war was begun by the military masters of Germany, who proved to be also the mas ters of Austria Hungary. These men have never regarded nations as peoples, men, women, and children of like blood and frame as themselves, for whom govern ments existed and Tn whom gov ernments had their life. They have regarded them merely as serviceable organizations which they could by force or intrigue bend or corrupt to their own purpose. They have regarded the smaller States, in particular.

Prosperous Arkansas

These are good days for Ar kansas. They are prosperous days when every man is. on his toes, every chin is up, and every movement shows optimism. Ar kansas has great crops. Arkan- sas cities are prosperous. Ar kansas is expecting, and with good reason, the most profitable fall in it's history.
 Arkap sans have money and a desire to enter broader fields nowadays, and this desire is not confined to Ghe trained business men of the state. Arkansas farmers are in better condition than ever before, and are giving attention to those things that are needed to stabilize their prosperity. For instance, when
 it became known to Arkansas farmers that the ranges in south | western Texas had been burned up by the severest d-outh of 30 years, and valuable blooded cat tie were for sale cheap because
 the Texans had no feed, Arkan.

 profit in sight.

mer German minister to Argen-

called the queer antics which
were reported of Luxburg at the
time of his departure from Bue-
nos Aires after he had been held
persona non grata.
