STAGE ALL SET
 FIR MUNICIPAL PRIMARY TO-DAY
Suffragists Propose to Get Out the Woman Vote,
 and Will Use Autos.

Today's municipal Democratic pri- mary IS attracting general interest be- cause of two unusual features-the participation of women and the se- lection of judge and clerk for the municipal court to be established un- der the Magee act.
 The suffragist plan to take an act I've part, as indicated by the arrange ments of the Jefferson County Equal Suffrage committee to get out big vote of women. Mrs. Jack Roost, Mrs. c. w. Pettigrew, Mrs. w. o. Iaggart and Mrs. P. H. Mccarthy have been named as ward chairmen to invite the ladies to vote, and they will send automobiles for those living far from the polls.
 The voting precincts will be at the usual places: McCammon building, Alexander brothers store, Wells sta ble, and the city cotton scales.
 There are contests for only two of- fices, and these are three -cornered. Police Judge J. R. ("Sonny') Stew art, City Attorney Earl Wood and At torney s. A. Miller are candidates for municipal judge. Special Officer A. C.. Mayberry, c. A. Goshorn, well-known barber, and R. E. Lee, formerly time keeper for the Cotton Belt, are com- peting for clerk of the municipal court.
 City Clerk w. A. Lee is unopposed for reelection as city clerk. Attorney A. R. Cooper will be nomi- mated for city attorney without op- position, and Aledrmen F. o. McGe- hee, Geo. B. McGibbony, J. Harvey Means and J. A. Clement are not op- posed.
 The election will be in charge of Frank Miner, E. A. Hensley, and w. T. Orton, named by the county Demo- cratic committee for this duty.
 The ballots will be counted and the result posted at the polling places as soon as possible after the close of the polls.
 As the names of women who have paid poll taxes are not included in the 1916 list of qualified voters, it prob ably will be necessary for them to ex- hibit their poll tax receipts.

CHRISTMAS FIRES
 SHOULD BE BARRED

The best time to put out a Christ mas tree fire is before you put up the Christmas tree. If the people of Pine Bluff will begin to think about the dangers, of the Christmas candle and Christmas decorations right now they will probablya.be .be. in a sufficient ly cautious fram& of lhifhd by Decem- Der 25 to save their children from the danger of horrid burns and possibly worse.
 The festive Christmas-tide each year is the open season for amateur Santa Clauses to burn off their cotton batting whiskers, set the decorations on fire and burn up the town hall o1 Sunday school auditorium.
 Hundreds of little tots are more ol less badly burned every Christmas people are injured in panics and pub lie buildings and private dwellings burned down through fool-hardy stunts that otherwise sensible people sanction because it is Christmas and because they have done it before and are still alive.
 "Don't," says J. Smith Speed, man. ager of the Arkansas agricultural bureau and fire prevention expert, "use cotton snow and tissue paper decorations at Christmas time or any other time. Cut out the Christmas tree candle and use small electric lights or nothing. If you will persist in counting danger at least be content ed to extinguish the candles after a few minutes and under no circumstan- ces leave the tree unattened by adults while the candles are lighted"

was most eXceSSlVe. lHe WdllS Ol many houses were blown to pieces.
 A'' Havoc Greatest in Richmond.
 1t was in Richmond, however, op- nos;te the scene of the explosion, that tha M havoc was greatest. Whole blocks of buildings, mostly of frame con- struction, were leveled. Many stood in ruins, and structures left standing were destroyed by fires, which broke out simultaneously in a score of places and which it was impossible to check.
 It is believed that scores of persons injured by the collapse of their homes nerished in the flames, from which they were helpless to flee. The fires in this district still are smouldering.
 Five minutes after the explosion, the streets in all parts of Halifax were filled with frenzied throngs striv- ing to reach the outskirts in an effort to escape what they believed was a raid by German fleet. Hundreds had been cut by the shower of glass, which followed the explosion. In the
 Richmond section, seriously injured men and women, crawled from the wreckage of their homes, and lay in the streets until removed to hospitals.
 Those less seriously hurt aided those more gravely injured.
 In the streets, piled high with de- bris, were found the bodies of many women and children. Several children were crushed to death when they were hurled against telephone poles by the force of the explosion. { Many Children Killed. < Among those killed were the chief of the fire department and his deputy, who were hurled to death when fire engine exploded.
 Scores of those who lost their lives were children in the public schools in the north end. Many others suf- fered broken limbs and were rescued with difficulty from the demolished buildings. The teachers who escaped injury worked heroically to save the
 lives of the children under their care.

Why We Are Fighting.
IT said a moment ago that I am
the son of an Irish immigrant. I have
heard 1t asked why should an Irish
man or the son of an Irishman fight
for England? Thank God this view
is not shared by many sons of Ireland.
I answer that we are not fighting for
England, but that England has been
fighting for US. I ask what would
have become Of this country in the
last three years If it we're not for the
smoke stacks of the British navy in
the North Sea? No my friends we are
not fighting for England, we are
fighting for the country that well
coined US to her shores, we are fight
ing for the country that gave US free
dom. we are fighting fer the preser-
walton Of free government and what
red blooded son Of the gail can re-
fuse to enlist IN such a fight? We are
fighting that our wives, our mothers
lumbus; we are fighting for France
that gave US Lafayette and men and
money to win our own Independence;
we are fighting for Belgium and for
her people that have given their all
In the cause; we are hghtlng for
the sanctity of our homes; we are
fighting that our woves, our mothers,
our sisters, our daughters. and our
sweethearts, may never know the
concubine desires of a savage and
barbarian foe, as have the women and
girls Of Flanders Belgium and
France; we are fighting to partly re-

Dilanidated Iiberiah Capital.

A dirty, dilapidated little town is Monrovia, the capital of Liberia. The houses are built of wood, brick and corrugated iron. They are steep, nar' row, shambling structures, with high pitched roofs and small balconies that are crumbling rapidly to pieces. The executive mansion, as the presidents house is called, was evidently once aretentious structure, but now it pres- ents Il rather sad appearance. Several of its windows are boarded where the window panes have been broken, and inside it's elaborate furnishings are worn and faded.
