LIBERTY LOAN IS
PRICE OF PEACE

We are in this war and we cant
get out of it without getting beaten
badly or winning conclusively. II
is finish fight.
When a nation goes into a finish
fight with the Tremendously power
full Central European powers it
means to win or, losing, to pay the
war debts Of a victorious Germany.
A nice mess we will be in should
the submarine starve out England,
should Russia conclude separate
peace and release three million vet
Grams from the eastern front, and
should France, thus exposed, utterly
collapse. The Central Powers would
then release France and England
and our crushed trade only on con-
dition that the United States raise
huge levies as war Identities to
pay Germany's debts.
II doesn't matter how this situa-
ton came about. The thing now to
do is to prevent a terrible misad-
venture from overtaking us. Amer
leans want peace. We can have
peace now only in one of two ways,
by victory or by defeat.
We have to pay huge sums as
the price of peace. We will pay
these sums to ourselves in the form
of national leans, or We viii pay
them to the Central Powers in the
form of war levies in case our al
hes are defeated and our trade is
posted for redemption only on Ger
many's terms.
When we start out to war with
the ruthless militarism of Germany,
we had better not start out empty
handed. Every man, woman and
child in the United States has a
formidable enemy confronting him
or her, ruthless enemy whose
path we have crossed, a trained,
efficient, experienced, desperate and
vastly powerful enemy. 1t is going
to take every dollar we can spare
to defeat this Dragon.
The American who desires to lie
down after having invited Germany
ito crush him will best do so by
avoiding his obligation to subscribe
to the Liberty Loan.
In this way he can see to it that
our soldiers shall lack food, cloth
ing, equipment and ammunition to
just that degree. In this way he
san insure the stagnation of domes-
-ic industry and his own loss. In
his way he can undermine the
prestige of the United States and
If government by democracy for
which this nation stands.
What American wishes himself
huS labeled? None. 1t is the
solemn duty of every man to invest
$50 or 800 or $500 in a Liberty
Loan Bond, an interest bearing gold
'ond, readily convertible bond,
irst mortgage on the United States,
md to pay for it out of his ad-
litional savings.
Subscribe for yours today. Have
'our wife subscribe for one. Teach
'our sons thrift by buying one for
hem.

MEN.
No great forward stride of any

great sacrifice. When our reSolu-

of a great nation that should ex-
emplify to the world the blessings of
peace and liberty, they made great
sacrifices, and made them willingly
Until the entrance into this war
their descendants were in danger of
losing sight Of that grand vision
through the curse of too great plen-

But we are awake at last. True,
it took a worldwide calamity to
arouse us; but once aroused, we
are going to take a different view of
man and his mission.
When we come into our own

the conflict before us-we will dis

lies in EFFORT and ACHIEVE
MENT for their OWN sakes, rather
than in the enjoyment of their

ents.
 Saturday night, yesterday and last night there were crowds of men gathered in Main street. discussing the elections and arguing over the good and bad points of the respective candidates for the several nomina- tions. There were many wagers laid according to common report, as to the outcome of the campaign for the nomination for mayor. but nothing definite ould be learned as to the odds, if any, offered by the adherents of the candidates.
 Expect Heavy Vote. A heavy vote is expected in the election today, and it is believed by some men in the city who are best posted on conditions, that there will be about 1,600 votes cast, if not more. it being said in explanation that there has been some little increase in the voting strength of the city since the last previous dity primary and that quite number of men who then were working away from home, are now at work here, and are able to cast their ballots today, which they could not do two years ago because of their absence from the city.
 The following is the list Of candi- dates for the nomination for the sev- eral offices:
 For MaNor-Ben B. Veil, Simon Bloom, '. M. Philpot.
 For Police Judge-J. R. Stewart. Armstrong Barrow.
 For City Treasurer-Harvey Hogg.
 For Aldermen-First Ward. A. J. Guenther, w. B. Hicks, R. M. Vance; Second ward w. c. Mcbride. G. E. Lytle; Third ward. J. B. Vinson, J. w. Poss, E. T. Miller; Fourth ward, George Dalby.

The Democratic primary election. TOT the selection of the party's can aldates for mayor. police judge, city treasurer and four aldermen. one from eadl of the wards in the city. will be held today.
 The election will be the first he'd under the new primary law of Ar kansas, which puts into effect a num- Der of innovations. Among the re- qulrements of the new act is that each voter must sign his ballot. be- fore depositing it in he ballot box: that the ballots must be counted im- medlately after the polling places are closed for the day, without delay or interference, and at the polling places, and that the result must be announced as soon as the count is completed. < 3tI
 Heretofore, it has been the dustom for judges and clerks, after the poll ing places are closed, had supper at some hotel before beginning the count of the ballots, and then, as rule, counted the ballots at the courthouse. Under the new primary election law, this custom can no longer be follow ed, as the count must start, at the polling plade, as soon as voting ceases, and must proceed without in terruption, until completed and the result is announced.
 Greater Interest Shown.
 Far greater interest than is usual ic. hoip c1, o1o Y, Sc, being especially marked during the past three or four days. prior to which time the campaign. apparently, was being conducted most quietly, and with few people showing any great interest, outside the dandidates themselves and their warmest adher

Snowstorms Bring Cessation of Operations in the Riga
 Section of Russia.
ALLIES TRANSPORT
 IS SUNK OFF MALTA
Berlin Reports That "IIOstile Trans- port Steamer, Crammed With TrOOps." Is TOrped0ed by
 Submarine and Sunk.
Associated Pess Summary

With wintry weather prevailing on nearly all the battle fronts, military operations have been held to virtual ly small engagements, when com pared with the battles that have taken place under more favorable condi- tions.
 Snowstorms for the moment have brought the operations southwest of Riga, where apparently great gen eral engagement is in the making, al most to halt. To the south in Vol- hynia, and across the line in Galicia, somewhat spirited fighting has taken place, but with only the capture of trench elements being reported by the Russians and the Teutonic allies.
 In Rumania alone the most minor operations are chronicled.
 On the front in France and Bel gium, except on the sector of Hill No. ,304, near Verdun, artillery duels only have taken place. Near Hill No. BOA, the artillery bombardments on both sides have been rather severe and hand grenades fighting also has taken place. Several French attacks against the Germans in this region Sunday broke down With heavy dasu alties for the attackers according to Berlin.
 While Berlin says the British n their attacks against the Turks on the Irak front in Asiatic Turkey last week suffered heavy losses and met with repulses, London official com munication asserts that Saturday and Sunday the British in attacks gained complete possession of Turkish first and sedond trenches on the west Of -ellAmara, on front of 430O yards, and also took a third and fourth line trench on front of 600 yards. A large number of casualties were suffered by the Turks.
 Representatives of the entente al lis have arrived in Petrograd for a war council.
 Among the vessels which Berlin officially announces have been sunk recently by submarines is an "armed hostile transport steamer" 250 miles off Malta. The steamer "crammed with troops" is reported to have sunk within 10 minutes.
