Permanently.-Means Much to Entire State.

Washington, June 11.-LittleRock,
Ark, Louisville, KY, Battle Creek,
Mich, and San Antonio, Texas, have
been approved by the war department
as additional cantonment sites for the
new army.
Additional camps for National guard
mobilization will be located at Fort
Worth, Waco and Houston, Texas, Fort
Sill, Okla, Deming, N. M, and Linda
Vista, Cal.
The approval of Petersburg, Va, as
cantonment site was today revoked
by the department.
Today's announcement brings the
list of cantonment sites determined
upon to 10, it having been previously
announced that contonments would be
located at Aver, Mass, Wrightstown
N. il, Atlanta, Ca, American Lake
Wash, Columbia, S. c., and Chilli

The department announced that con-
tracts have been let for the construc,

No reason was assigned for the
revocation of approval of Petersburg

the event it is designated as a double
division camp the population of course
will be double, or 10000 people.
It will have separate waterworks
system, a separate pumping station,
filters and settling basin. 1t will have
a complete sewer system and sewer
age disposal plant; a separate and
complete fire department, lighting
plant, in fact every facility of a mod
ern, up-to-date city.
The cost of erecting divisional
camp has been estimated at 100000
where wooden cantonment buildings
are constructed. It has not been fin
ally determined whether or not the
Little Rock camp will be constructed
of wood or canvas. The board of COM
merce Monday took up the question
with the war department urging that
wooden buildings be erected. In as
much as the site has been donated to
the government and is to become gov
eminent property, it is thought prob
able by members of the committee that
the wooden buildings will be used.
An energetic campaign for the Sc
lection of this city as the site for one
of these big cantonments, where 50,-
900 to $4,000 men will be quartered
permanently. while receiving neces.
sary military training, was conducted
by the city, through the board of COM
merce. Many of the cities and towns
of the state aided Little Rock in this
campaign, some even to the extent
of donating to the $25O,OO fund rails
ed to provide the things required by
the government.
It is generally felt that the entire
state will benefit directly and in:
directly from the establishment OF
divisional headquarters here, and es.
pecially is it believed that Pine Bluff
and Hot Springs will vie with Little
Rock and Argenta in reaping the bene'
fit from the camps establishment
here.

conspiracy in indictments returned to-
day by federal grand jury.
Some of them already are in Jail.

certain section man named in the
indictment organized and drilled a
company of men in military forma-

HOW MUCH IS LIBERTY
WORTH TO YOU2

~
This is a question that every Ameri-
can should ask himself or herself. For
generations we have boosted of our
love of liberty. We have called our
country "the land of the free and the
home of the brave" 1t has been proved
in others wars that this was not
mere empty boast by our fathers and
our forefathers. But the question OF
how much is liberty worth to this
generation has not yet been fully
answered.
1t is going to be answered nobly
by those who serve under the cOlOrs.
Many of them will answer with their
death. 1t is going to be answered
and answered clearly by others who
serve their country as best they may.
1t is going to be answered by others
still who, unable to render personal
service, have yet furnished their gov
eminent the means to prosecute the
war.
The number of subscribers to the
Liberty loan bonds is going to be an
index of the love OF liberty of the
American citizenry of today. The list
of Liberty loan bond holders is going
to be a directory of the patriots OF
America.
You have just four more days in
which to subscribe to the Liberty loan.
If Germany wins thru the failure of
Americans to buy these bonds, you'll
pay the kaiser more than Uncle Sam
asks you to invest.
