ElKS WILL HELP ALL CI1Y'S POOR
 CHRISTMAS DAY
Annual Christmas Tree Is Abandoned and Only De-
 serving Will Be Aided.

The local lodge of Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks will not give the annual Christmas tree for the poor children of this city this year. This time-honored custom has afforded much pleasure for the members of this order each year, as we'll as glad dened the hearts of Pine Bluffs poor children, but a better plan of helping the little folks has been devised.
 A committee composed of Frank Roane, chairman; E. T. Miller and Capt. Wm. Nichol has been appoint ed for the purpose of distributing the charity fund of this order at Christ mas time and a list of the really poor and needy families of this city will be procured by them and when Christ mas morning dawns each of these de, serving families will be presented with something more substantial than a bag of candy and few toys and each member will be given some arti- cle from which he can derive real personal comfort and use.
 This committee requests that each member of this order and, for that matter every citizen of Pine Bluff who knows of any family who is real ly in want and who is suffering from poverty to report the name of that family to any member of this commit. tee and an investigation will be made. If the family is really in want, the committee will make arrangements for that family's Christmas to be made brighter by substantial gifts from the members of the local order of Elks.
 The Elks have contributed freely to the Red Cross work, the war w. Y. c. A. work and the tobacco fund and they are desirous of eliminating any giving to undeserving parties this year. There were several instances in the past several years where parties, who were financially able to give pres ents to their children, sent the little tots to the Elks Christmas tree, which rightfully belonged to the really poor little children of this city.
 Each member of the local lodge, who is now a member of the United States army or navy, will be sent an appropriate Christmas package this year and these packages will be sent out in order that they may reach the soldiers on Christmas day.

STAMP
 CAMPAIGN IS
 STARTED TODAY
"Four Minute" Men Will Speak at All Local Schools
 This Morning.

Active work in the campaign for the sale of United States war savings thrift stamps will be commenced this morning when a number of "four. minute" speakers will explain the pur- pose of these stamps before every school in the city. The stamps are on sale at the postoffice and can be pur- chased for 25 cents. With each stamps is given card, to which the stamp is attached, and when the card con- tains 16 of these thrift stamps, it may be exchanged, for the difference of a few cents, for one of the United States war savings certificates, which will be redeemed by the government in 1923 for $5 each.
 Harry E. Trulock has been appoint ed by District Chairman s. c. Alex ander as chairman of this campaign for this city and has asked a number of the leading citizens to make short addresses in the interest of the work this morning at the various school buildings. The speakers are as fol- lows:
 Dr. J. l. Norris will address the High school at g o'clock and the Mis- souri street (colored) school at 10 o'clock.
 Judge W. B. Sorrells will speak at the Lakeside school at o'clock.
 T. M. Hooker will address the chil- dren of the Sixth Avenue school at 9 o'clock and the Merrill (colored) school at 10 o'clock.
 J. B. Boyce will speak at the Pine Street school at 9 o'clock at the An nunciation Academy at 10 o'clock.
 Senator Creed Caldwell will speak at the Riverside school at 9 o'clock.
 s. c. Alexander will speak at the First Ward school at g o'clock.
 Daniel Taylor will address the chil- dren of the Sam Taylor school at g o'clock and the Greenville (colored) school at 10 o'clock.
 MT. Trulock stated last night that President Wilson is very much inter- ested in the sale of the thrift stamps and that it is his desire that every child in the United States purchase one or more of these stamps. However, the sale of these stamps is by no means restricted to children but is also meant to give the older people a chance to "do their bit" The cam paign for the sale of these stamps will be pushed energetically and every To- cal minister will be asked to explain their purpose to their congregations Sunday.
 It is MT. Trulock's idea to have "four-minute" talks made at the To- cal motion picture theatres and more speakers wilt be appointed early next

MAY OFFER CAUSE FOR WAR
By Ed L. Keen,

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
London, Feb. 6-Whether America
would find cause for war in the kill.
ing of an American sailor aboard the
British freighter Eavestone by Ger
man submarine shall fire, was the all
absorbing topic Of discussion here to.
day.
England accepts it as foregonc con.
clnsion that America will eventually
be formal belligerent. 1t looks for a
declaration of war momentaIily. But
in the meantime, regarding the peculiar
diplomatic situation created by the
fact that America is not yet officially
an enemy, and has merely broken re-
lations with her, British officialdom
is taking great care in dealing with
American Ambassador Page to regard
the United Stdtes as still being a
neutral.
No further details cf the sinking Of
the Eavostone were available here to-
day beyond the admiralty announce
mcnt.
This related that the Eavestone was
sunk by shell fire from a German sub
