Business and Professional Men Unite in Compliment
 for Boys and Girls.

Members of the seniuI class 0f the Pine Bluff High school and the stu- dent body and faculty were highly complimented by prominent citizens; 1 yesterday upon the issue or The Graphs, edited and published by the ! students, believed to be the first time the high school students have put out an issue of a regular news paper
 Mayor Simon Bloom wrote 10 The Graphic. as follows:
 "Iour paper is to be commended Cn the encouragement you gave to the members of the Pine Bluff High school in getting out such snappv. newsy High school edition.
 q am much in hopes that this splendid edition will receive the cir culation that t deserve s. as I believe it will do much towards the advertise ing of our city, and will show to the world that Pine Bluff can boast of an intelligence among our boys and girls equal to that of any community on the face of the earth.
 l would suggest that to further en. courage our boys and girls in such a iIooiS " ol h. 6tilu u lJtlS DuI ISutIlefS who work sc hard to train and teach cur children, that we all get togethcr and vote to increase our school tax to the limit. l think the poorest paid people on the face of tIe earth arc the school teachers. and am for em- ploying the very best teachers O. tainable and to pay them enough to at least live decently On.'

 Dr. A. c. Jordan: ct was very creditable edition, showing the skill of the editors and pupils
 Rabbi Raphael Goldenstein: "A splendid edition, and unique. The is- suance of a newspaper is something that has never before been done by any high school class. It speaks we'll for the seniors, and sets an ex~ ample for other schools. It is good for the schools, the pupils and the city"
 Harold Bluthenthal: "It is a fine paper; well gotten up and full of in- teresting articles.'
 H. l. Holderness, president Of the chamber of commerce: "A fine pa per; good paper. It reflects great credit upon the editors and other writers. The volume of advertising shows that the business department was in the hands of, energetic and capable students"

Buenos Aires Newspapers.

The cosnopolitanism Of Buenos Aires is we'll exemplified by its press. The dailies number almost 50, embrac- ing all shades of thought and lan- guage--English, French, Italian, Swiss Spanish, Turkish (mostly Syrian), Is- raelitish and German. The leading pa- pers are La Prenza and La Nacion (Argentine), the Herald and Standard (British). AS we'll as the dailies we have the choice of about 200 weekly, monthly and occasional publications. One of the cleverest of the weeklies is published by Emir Arslan, formerly Turkish consul here, who shortly after the alliance between Germany and Turkey was discharged for refusing to hand over the consulate and its con- tents to the German agent.

i. the only one which has been &C
cused since the beginning of the war
OF being predominantly pro-German
The charge has frequently been de-
MED by Swedes and others but de-
spite this, the consensus of opinion
among students of International af-
fairs has assigned the biggest of the
three Scandinavia kingdoms to the
German camp in so far as its war
sypathies were concerned. There are
plenty of pro-German Spaniards and
Hollanders and Swiss, but few have
ventured to assert that Spain or
Switzerland or Holland is pro-German
Ac for Denmark and Norway, such
an assertion, in the face of the strong
pro-ally inclinations so often express
ed by the majority of Danes and Nor
wegians, would be absurd.
But it is different with Sweden. Even
il there is plents of the pro-Allies
there, even if the majority of Swedes
lean toward the Entente in their
war sympathies, they have not been
able to assert themselves anywhere
near as effectively as the pro-German
and, as it is the party in power, it
has been of material assistance to the
Central Powers during the war.
King Gustaf, too, is rated as German
ophile in his sympathies, and, together
with the Germanophile Court circle
surrounding him, has found ways to
testify to this friendly feeling toward
the embattled sovereign at Potsdam.

was talk of a revolution. Rumor, in
fact, even had it that the King was
about to flee from his palace, having
warships in readiness to transport him

ditions in the capital became too hot

ADVANTAGES OF VOLUNTEERING.

nRAFTED MEN AND VOLUNTEERS alike are first
- in the hearts of their countrymen these days. We
honor them alike as we should, and there Is doubt
that both will eomport themselves like Americans when
comes the crucial test OF meeting the foe Visitors at
morale and high patriotic spirit of regulars guardsmen and
national army men,
Yet to many there may be an advantage in volunteering
and the impetus to recruiting here indicates that many feel
there is such adyantage that by volunteering they have
better chance selecting the branch organization the,
prefer To be sure in organizing the national army
effort 10 made to determine the fitness Of for certain
arms Of the service and to assign them accordingly but
the individuals choice in the matter is less
For example the wide scope Of naval service Is not in
cuded in the draft at ALL is the marine crops, those
soldiers and sailors too whose fine hcord has lure for
many seeking their country Then the drafted
man might choose artillery, and find himself assigned to
the infantry Knowing as little Of the other he may
be well fitted for the other but has preference
which he must volunteer to satisfy,
There is another difference which many who volunteer
deem an advantage and that is the probability of earlier
service The regulars already in the first line trenches
the Rainbow division is training in France and other
guard and regular units are either there or going sos OF
course the man now going in will need some preliminary
training but in filling old regiments they will need
less than where the whole organization new Some who
have already had their baptism Of fire along the
front have volunteered since the war began Going into
regular regiments they had the advantage Of
ample But drafted volunteer finally there shall b.
