ing the constitutional convention, in

though Governor Brough has annOunc.
ed that he will not call an extra ses-
sion of the legislature for the purpose
of repeating the act The governor,
while declining TO act at this time, and
exercising the conviction, so strongly
emphasized during the recent legisla.
ture, that Arkansas needs a new con.
stitution, says that he will maintain
an open mind on the subject, and il
the time should come when public pol
icy seemed to demand il strong

A new note is being sounded, and
from many quarters comes a sugges.
ton that there is too much hysteria
in the agitation that has been going
on over the war, and, admitting that
the situation is very grave, and the
future uncertain, it is not believed
that the country is in any danger of

the war will be over by next fall, there
is no reason for the people to go into

GERMAN DENOUNCES
THE EMPIRES SHAMS.
Macmillan Harden Praises President
Wilson and Scores Doctor
Zimmerman.

Macmillan Harden, the German
"enfant terrible, publishes in the lat
est issue of Die Zukunft another dar-
ingly frantic article exposing to Ger
man readers the "shams, pretenses
and mistakes" of their governments
policy.
The article is devoted to the entry
of the United States into the war,
which Herr Harden warns the people
must be taken most seriously both
from the moral side as a symptom of
the weakness of Germany's appeal to
the neutral world and the failure of
her foreign policy, and because of the
physical aspects of the weight that
America will ultimately be able to
throw into the scale. He declares
that Germany's peace overtures were
put forward only as a bridge over
which Germany could pass to relent-
less submarine warfare.
Herr Harden has only words of
praise for President Wilson and his
policy and reveals sighting opinion
of DR.. Alfred Zimmerman, which he
did not conceal at the time of Zim-
mermann's elevation to ministerial
rank.
Another article by Herr Harden cul-
inmates in an appeal to Germany to
put the interior of her house in order
and introduce democratic conditions
which, the writer says, is the only sure
basis for future peace.
Scarcely less noteworthy than his
scatihing criticism of German diplom-
acy (but not that of Count Won Berns.
torff, former ambassador to the Uni
ted States, whose work he praises), is
Herr Harden's justification to German
readers of Americas attitude during
the war and his attack on the favOrite
Pan-German arguments that the Uni
ted States was inspired solely by dol
lar-chasing and looked upon war only
as a source for enormous profits from
munitions supplies.
