SOLDIER APPRECIATES
 :. BOX OF XMAS GOODIES
Miss Emma F. White Receives Letter
 of Thanks From Sammy" < at Camp Pike.

The following interesting letter was received yesterday by Miss Emma F. White of this city from James Ferde- nando, a soldier at Camp Pike, to whom Christmas box was sent by Miss White. through the American Red Cross society:
 "Miss Emma F. White, Pine Bluff,
 Ark.:s5
 "Dear Miss Santa-Your most well come box of goodies and Christmas cheer was sent to me by the soldiers friend, the Red Cross. You perhaps may be disappointed to find that a Sammie in France did not receive your gift. If so, then humbly beg you to chase away old gloom and remember that soon I will be there, and you may rest assured your card will always re- main with me, and my motto, your last two lines, "For your land and mine, for your God and mine." You see l came from sunny Italy, and am also very anxious to help get the Ger mans, because they have made my home folks suffer. About all I can say for the present is your box helped to make my Christmas a merry one, and l hope you also enjoyed yours. Wishing you most happy and pros- porous New Year and that may be able to help lambast the kaiser for the good old U. s. A. and Italy, I am,
 Sincerely yours,

How to Shorten tIae War

Will the year 1918 see the end of the world war? Will the nation be at peace year or hence, or will it still be engaged in conflict? These will be questions uppermost in the public mind on this coming New Years Day. At this time it seems most pertinent to call the attention of the people to ways and means by war, and possibly to bring it to an end before another F months have come and gone.
 It has been said over and over again that this is a war of nations, and not of armies or navies-and the truth of the assertion becomes more apparent each day.
 To shorten the war and to achieve lasting peace it will be necessary for every man, woman and child in the United States to do his or her part. To do this, part and to go the limit should be New Year resolve of every person living under the Stars and Stripes.
 What should be borne in mind is that those who stay at home cannot hope to win the war unless. in their capacity as individuals, they are pre- pared to shoulder their full share of the burdens and the efforts which war entails
 Are the masses of the people really doing their share? Are they today making the effort which is necessary to win the war? Have they as yet made any sacrifice in the least degree comparable with that of our boys at the ffont2 These are the questions it would be well for inc people to ask themselves before the beginning of the new year.
 The vast majority of the people un- doubtedly fail to realize that ny tne1r selfishness and want Of effort they themselves will be largely responsible for the prolongation of the war, and, therefore. the cause of the death of many gallant men. and the sorrow which their death entails to those dear to them.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1917-12-30

The American people are to be given credit for the generous manner in which they have responded to the na- lions needs. Men and money have been given freely. The burdens and inconveniences necessitated by war time conditions have for the most part been borne without complaint. A good beginning has been made, but as al- ready stated, greater sacrifices must be made durign the coming year. And the greater the sacrifices, the shorter will be the duration of the war. F There is one effort in particular that very few people seem to be mak- Ing, except in. a half-hearted sort of way-the effort to save money in or der to lend it to the nation. Yet, in the opinion of the president and those who are helping him to bring the nation through the present crisis. it Is this very effort that can do more to shorten the war than anything else.
 The greater minds of England are agreed that had the people of that country from the commencement of the war saved all they could. and so released labor and material for war purposes, and for producing the neces- sities of life, the war might have been won by now But in England-and the same may be said of this country -too large a majority of the people have preferred to go on in self indulgent way-spending money on thousand and one unnecessary things and so withdrawing from the armies vaqt amount of labor and material, to the lack of Whicls IS attributable, without doubt, the prolongation of the conflict
 The historian will point as one of the greatest tragedies of the war, to the fact that while some have given up business, home and life for their country, others have not only stayed at home. but have spent their earnings and profits in such way as to cause indirectly, at least-the prolongation of the war and the unnecessary sacri- flee of countless lives

READING MATTER IN
 DEMAND BY SOLDIERS
Magazines Sent to Camps Through .Rotarians and Y. M. c. A. Are
 Used to Good Advantage.

That the Y. M. c. A. at Camp Beau regard, La., where the Arkansas troops are now stationed, can use ad- vantageously all the magazines Pine Bluff can send is indicated by a letter received by Roy M. Kemp, chairman of the Rotary clubs old magazlne committee, from E. Hanks, educa- tional director of the Y. M. C. A. war work at Camp Beauregard. As chair man of the Rotary clubs committee, MT. Kemp collected and shipped near ly two tons. of magazines, sending some to Camp Beauregard and some to Camp Pike. Acknowledgement Of receipt of the shipments and the need for magazines weer made as follows:
 "Camp Beauregard, La., Dec. 22. Rotary Club of Pine Bluff, Ark:
 "Gentlemen-You letter of recent date relative to the matter of maga- zine shipments made by. your club has been referred to me. 1 want to thank you for the interest you are taking, and can assure you that we can use the magazines to very good advan- tage. We have five permanent build ings here now with regular reading rooms. We also have been maintain ing about eight tents, because of the quarantine that has been in effect here for many weeks. This means that we have to get to the men in their various smaller units. We shall great ly appreciate it at any time if you can arrange for further shipments of magazines. :. "Thanking you for the shipment, l am,
 "Yours very truly,
 "E. HANKE,
 Educational Director"
 Kindness Appreciated.
 "Camp Pike, Ark, Dec. 15. "Rotarv Club of Pine Bluff, Pine Bluff !,
 Ark:
 Gentlemen-Permit me to thank you for your letter of December 12, notifying us of shipment of maga- zines sent by the good people of your city. We assure you that this kind ness is very much appreciated, and we shall see to it that the best possi ble, use is made of these magazines.
 "Yours very truly,
 "CHAS. KURTHAL,
 "Camp General Secretary
 Kemp Is Willing.
 Upon receipt of the letter from Camp Beauregard, MT. Kemp an- nounced his willingness to make a col- lection of magazines once each month, and probably will repeat his offer at the next meeting of the Rotary club.
