ANOTHER BIGRALLY
 IN LITTLE ROCK
The Y. II. C. A. Represent. ing the Home Life and Spiritual Side of Army Life, Makes
 Call Now.

At Little Rock on Tuesday a big rally of prominent business men and church workers thro' out Arkansas, was called by the War Council Y. M. c. A. to plan and push the work in Arkansas.
 The state was districted into 16 districts and each county was given a pro rata amount to raise to carry forward. the army work at Camp Pike, Fit. Roots and other spots thro' out the state. The counties of Phillips and Monroe form the 18th dis trict, Phillips county sent a delegation, who instead of ac- cepting the S5,000 pro rata as- sessment voluntarily increased the amount to $15, ,000. Monroe county's pro rata was set at $3. 800.
 As one who attended the con- ference I wish that every man. woman and child of old Monroe could have been at the meet. If they had there would not have to be a call made = it would come from volunteers. The messages were soul stirring and would serve to arouse even a Brinkley business man from the mad rush. of prosperity. I saw a sight at Camp Pike Tuesday night that would melt the heart of a stone man. Thousands of uniformed soldiers had gathered in the immense Y. M. c. A. au- ditorium to hear one of the speakers of the conference. At the close of his remarkable ap- peal for preparedness Prepare to Meet Thy God," 1 saw sever al hundred soldier boys accept Jesus Christ as their Savior in single minutes time and then 1 said: "I'm beginning to under stand some of the reasons why God has permitted America to be drawn into this war. For we are chosen, not with silver and gold but in the furnace of affliction.
 Monroe county citizens must do their part in this great work in a spirit of earnest sacrifice.
 1 was pleased to meet at this great conference Mayor Henry Cowell and Rev. Hoy of Holly Grove, H. c. Johnson and w. A. Cook of Shilo, who with F. Lee Majors and myself composed the Monroe county delegation.

DISASTROUS FIRE
IN ATLANTA, GA.
100000 to $4,000, 900 Damage
Scores of Blocks Are
Destroyed.

Atlanta. Ca. May H.-Fire that started
late to-day In an obscure negro section
swept . broad path through the residen-
dal section Of Atlanta, devastating scores
of blocks and destroying many Of the
city's finest homes and hundreds Of negro
houses. Although the flames were not en-
tirely under control tonight. they had
been checked half way through the ex.
elusive Ponce De Leon avenue residence
section and hre off1cials believed there
was little danger Of . further spread.
First estimates Of the damage placed II
1t between 100000 and 100000 So far
a. could be learned the only loss of life
was that OF . woman who died from
shock.
| The IRE was confined to the northeastern
part Of the city and the only business
houses burned were several warehouses
near Decatur and Fort streets. the point
Of origin.
| A high wind carried the flames north
eastward. Within IN hour after the frst
alarm the blaze began to assume the
proportions Of . conhagration and fire
odlcials called in several hundred men
from the Fort Mcpherson ofIicers' train
ing camp to aid In the lighting. Appeals
for help also brought IRE equipment from
half dozen neishboring cities.
The struggle with the danes reached a
climax at night fall. when the FIRE Tight
ers made a stand at Boulevard place and
began dynamiting a wide area to protect
the Ponce De Leon section. The effort
was only partially successful. and ar
hour later the dynamiters had to begir
their work over again two blocks beyond
the avenue. A lull in the wind favored
their work and tonight they were about
holding their own. though many still
feared that before morning the flames
again would gain Roadway and burn their
way through to the edge Of the city. The
thousands Of homeless are being cared
for tonight by a citizens committee and
by the Atlanta Red Cross chapter.
Fire Chief Cody announced late to-nigh,
that the hre had been brought under
control.

sary to the national existence.
The order will be effective for g. days

into operation over the vigorous protest
Of the bean and soup packers who de-
clare it means ruin for their businesses.
All cans made In this country will go for
the time being to Gamers Of fruits and
vegetables and Canadian Gamers of soups
and beans for troops at the front Amer.
lean army buyers have agreed not to use
canned beans and soups for the present
at least or until suficient supply OF cans
can be obtained for all purposes.

BELVA A. LOCKWOOD DEAD

First and Only Woman Who Ever Ran

for President.
Washington. D. c.. May 3.-Mrs. Bslva
A. B. Lockwood. the first woman i'd.
mitted to practice before the supreme
court. a pioneer in the woman suffrage
movement. and the only woman who was
ever a candidate for president OF the
United States, died Saturday In her aeth
year.
Mrs Belva Anna Bennett Lockwood had
herself told Of how she became ono Of
the first women in this country to fight
for equal rights. A widow at p years OF
age. with child. she was teaching school
in her native town. Royalton. n. T.. at
a salary Of only g a week. Men teachers
doing the same work were getting twice
as much or more
Il kicked to the school trustees she
said, Il went to the wife Of the Metho-
dist minister. The answer l got opened
my eyes and raised my dander. 4 can't
help you; you cannot help yourself. for
II is the way of the world
The apparent hopelessness OF woman's
cause so aroused her that she fought
for more than fifty years against the ex-
clusion of women from the rights which
men enjoyed.
Soon after her second marriage she be-
gan to study at the National University
Of Law. and upon graduation. after spirit
ed controversy. was admitted to practice
before the Supreme Court Of the District
OF Columbia.
II have never stopped fighting" she
said. MY cause was the cause Of thou-
sands of women. 1 drew up bill admit
ting women to the practice before the bar
Of the United States Supreme Court and
had 1t passed" This victory was widely
acclaimed. She herself was the first
woman to take advantage Of the new
law. and at the age OF - was admitts4
to the highest court In the land. she
won several notable legal battles. notably
that OF the Cherokee Indians against the
United States government. in which she
secured . settlement Of $5.000.000 for the
Indians. During President Garhelds ad.
ministration she made unsuccessful ap.
plication for the Brasilian mission.
Probably the most striking incident In
her career then. came in 1854 with the
nomination Of the Equal Rights party Of
the Pacific slope ~ a candidate for the
presidency of the United States. The
nomination was renewed by the same
party at convention In Iowa four ysaso
later.
