Little Rock, Aug. 27.-The Army that the United States is sending to France will be made up largely of young men. They are not being taken as young as they were in the days of the Civ il War, nor so young as they are being forced into the service in Europe. especially by the central powers. Except for those who volunteer, none is being accepted under 2l years, and is likely that a majority of them will be under 25. The Navy, the Marines, and even the Army, by the volunteer enlistment process, will give an opportunity to the younger ones who are eager to serve.
 The Civil War was almost wholly fought by those who were mere boys. The Pension De. partment records show that practically half of the soldiers of that great struggle were boys under 21. He classifies the en listments of the extremely young as follows:
 At 10 years and under .... ........ 25
 At l2 years and under ....... 225
 At 14 years and under. ... ,523
 At 16 years and under 844 sol
 At IS years and under ~-. ....-.-............ lo1 ,43S
 At Fl years and under

 The total enlisted strength of the Union Army was 4.778. 300. so that nearly half of them were boys.

Arkansas State Council of Defense

Little Rock, Aug. 27-While the Regular Army and the U. S. Navy are recruited to their max imum authorized strength, re- cruits are still being received for both arms of the service. They are being held in reserve to be used as needed to fill vacancies that may be caused in the vari- ouS units by any reason. Capt N M. Cartmell of the Regular Army is untiring in hls efforts to secure good men for the service, and is meeting with great sue cess due to the energy of his of ticers. The draft has not had a deterrent effect upon recruiting but has had a tendency to aid. since a drafted man is eligible to volunteer service until he is call ed for examination by his local board. Recruits now being ac. ceDted for the Regular Army may be used in filling gaps and completing the quota of the Ar kausas regiments. who are now in the Federal service.
 Little Rock, Aug. 27.-The State Council of Defense is hold ing meetings every Monday and Friday noon for the purpose of discussing any question that may be brought before the Coun cil for consideration.

Thanksgiving

There's much, on this Thanks
giving, we should be grateful for,
although we now are living be-
Meath the shade of war. Though
we may push the dagger in foe
men, to the hilt, when from the
scrap we stagger, therell be no
sense OF guilt We did not start to
scatter the blood around in show
ers, no treaties did we shatter, the
rough-house is not ours. The
trouble we evaded so long the
neighbors cried that dollar lust
had faded our courage and our
pride. Not to impose our kultur
on other nations schools do we
ply catapult or the other deadly
tools. Not that our bounds may
widen to take in neighbors lands,
do we to war go ridin', with pitch
forks in our hands. Not that our
hearts are burning with hate for
Wilhelm's hordes, do we begin
a-turning our stovehooks into
swords. When peace again is
reigning, and seems as good as
new, there'1l be no shamed ex-
planning for Uncle Sam to do.
No words needs then be spoken,
in Uncle Sans defense; he has no
pledges broken, in spirit or in
sense. For this we should be
grateful, while smiling cooks pro-
duce the large and brimming
plateful of turkey, duck or goose.
