PLAYING POLITICS
 IN CONSCRIPTION
Washington Sounds Note of Warn- ing-Bad Reports From
 South Carolina.

Washington, May 26.-Local community politics, according to re- ports, is trying to play part in cheating the United States out of men wanted and demanded for the army. This warning was sounded from an authentic source today linked with an expression of fear that some men concerned in the operation of the draft would en- deavor to play favorites.
 Not alone has this fear for out croppings from a political angle been evident recently, but political may aid in swayine local boards in making exemptions
 In South Carolina the notorious Blease faction is active, it is re ported. It is said that members ol this following are endeavoring tt saddle the draft strongly on the Manning supporters, exempting the Blease men from the service. The Blease faction is contending thai the method is being used by the Manning crowd where it is in pow CT.
 However, it is well for the poli- ticians to note that the government agents will be on the job wher Ithe draft becomes operative.

HEAVY BLOWS BEING
 DEALT SUBMARINES
Lloyd George Says Effective Work Done in Three Weeks-Amer-
 ican Aid Praised.

London, May 26.-Premier Lloyd George, on announcing in the
 House of Commons yesterday that
 more effective blows had been dealt
 submarines in the last three weeks
 than during any corresponding per
 iod of the war, paid tribute to Il the assistance of the American Ea- ", saying:
 l we owe a vrey considerable debt | of gratitude to the great American people for the effective assistance they have rendered and the craft | they have placed at our disposal. ] Now that the American nation IS Tn lthe war, it is easier to make ar arrangements for the protection of | our mercantile marine than it was before" The statement was loudly cheered.
 The premier's statement on sub- marine warfare was altogether the most satisfactory heard in England in many months.
 During the last three weeks or
 month we have dealt more effective | ly with submarines than during any
 corresponding period of the war. This is true of this week as well as of the preceding weeks. There is no doubt that the effect will be made manifest in considerable reduction of our shipping losses. "It is true we are not through the month of May, but if the ratio of losses during the last 25 days is upon April will be very considera- ble Indeed, there does not seem to be any reason to anticipate any worse figures in the coming week. The arrangements made for deal ing with submarines have been in creasingly efficient" The shipping losses for May, the premier said, probably would show
 reduction from the April figures. In speaking of the success of the anti i-submarine methods he said: NO DANGER OF STARVING. we owe very Considerable debt of gratitude to the great Am erican people for the effective as- sistance they have rendered and | the craft they have placed at our disposal Now that the American nation is in the war, it is easier to make arrangements for the protec tion of our mercantile marine than l it was before"
 1 Lloyd George asserted there was mo danger to the country from starvation, but that the utmost economy of foodstuffs was still es-
 sential
 "The submarine menace need cause no fear that the war is going
 to be lost for that reason,' he de-
 clared.
 | 'I see that today the Germans
 are depending mainly on subma-
 ripe warfare for success" Lloyd George. "All I can say is that if
 that is their main hope Of success, it is doomed to disappointment.
 say it with a full sense of respon- lsibility and on behalf of the gov Iernment, after full consideration of
 the whole facts.
 1 "That does not mean that the people need not ecOnomize, that farmers need not blow their land. | It means that if everyone does his lduty the German hope of triumph in the war based on submarines Is lthe greatest miscalculation in the
 whole series of miscalculations of that empire If every one does his
 duty periodically, each in his own
 way to the common stock, then l
 say the submarine is not going to
 defeat us"

MINISTER'S ADMIT
 TO A DERELICTION
Declare They Should Have Warned Memphis Mob Against Burn
 ing Ell Persons.

Memphis, May 25.-Representa- | tives of all the clerical associations of Memphis-Jewish, Protestant and Catholic-in special meeting yesterday insisted, in resolution la ter made public, that the clergy men themselves were derelict in their duty in not warning the pub lie against mob violence.
 They said the newspapers were full of news about the preparations for the burning of the negro mur- clergymen should have modified the infiamed state of public opin- ion in that community where the crime was committed.
 About 20 clergymen attended the conference. Newspaper men, as well as visitors, were excluded. The conference last about two hours During that time it is understood that there was some talk about a probable custer against Sheriff Tate for not affording the negro better protection.
 The resolutions are as follows
 We, clergymen of the city of Memphis, met in solemn assembly, do hereby resolve that we, as cler- gymen and citizens, confess our dereliction of duty in not having warned an inflamed public opin- ion against mob violence when it was apparent to every reader of newspapers that preparations had been made for lynching the brute who had committed an unspeakable crime.
 We furthermore resolve that it should be brought home also to the consciences of other representatives, men and leaders of this communi- ty, that they, too, had failed to do their duty; that it appears also that the constituted servants of the law had failed, by subservience to the will of the mob, and by in adequate preparations to resist their anarchic designs, to take the proper measures to defend the dig nifty and majesty of the law and our civilization that the conscience of the community had been dulled to the apprehension of the enormity of such lynchings, and their accom- panying degeneracies.
 "We call upon the citizens of this community to put away the false theory that lynchings are deterrents of crime, to realize that mob vio- lence saps the foundation of democ- racy, law and civilization; that we cannot rear our children in safety If we set the example of law-break- ing and give it our sanctions
 "We appeal for the continued ex- tension of mental, moral, industrial and spiritual education of the ne- gro as the most effective deterrents of crime We appeal to our fellow citizens to stand together as one man in behalf of law-abiding, law-enforcing and law-respecting community"

MRS. M. E. HOPKINS
 DIED LAST NIGHT
Had Lived in Greene County M For Half Century-Was M0H@W
 CT of Dr. G. T. Hopkins.

Mrs. Mary E. Hopkins died at an early hour last night at the home of her son, Dr. G. T. Hopkins, on West Court street, after an ill., ness of several years of Bright's disease.
 Mrs, Hopkins was the widow of the late samaeI "A. Hopkins. for many years one of lthe leading farmers and citizens of Greene county. She was born near Allan ta, Ga, in 1S46. and came to Greene county just fifty years ago, where she and her family have re sided since.
 Many were the strangers and new corners into the county who enjoyed the hospitality and receiv- ed the encouragement of the Hop kins family.
 When the family came to Arkan- |sas, half century ago, they first settled near old Greensboro. but later moved to Gainesville. where they lived for several years. Later they moved to Paragould. The family residence for years was on Highland (then DepoD street, where the home of Joe A. White lnow stands.
 During recent years Mrs. Hopkins had made her home with her son on West Court street. and had been lshut in most of the time on account of the fnfirmities of old age. In the death of Mrs. Hopkins an Iother of the few remaining pioneers and Mothers in Israeli has passed away.
 The deceased leaves two chil- dren: Dr. G. T. Hopkins of Para gould, and Mrs. J. w. Kuykendall lof Fort Smith. Funeral services will be conducted from the resi- dence at 10 o'clock tomorrow, anc
 the burial will take place at Lin wood cemetery.

 al money profits to the employer was almost matched by the fierce Iselfishness which refused to consid- CT a strike from any but the stand point of the strikers.
 But the chief obstacles to be en- countered in rousing England were sheer shortsightedness and that apathetic indifference which springs from dullness of apprehen- sion. considerable time elapsed before it was possible to make the people understand that this was a peoples war, that it was a matter of vital personal concern to the people as a whole, and to all indi- viduals as individuals. In America we are now encountering much the Ysame difficulty, due to much the same causes.
 | In England the most essential thing to be done was to wake the people to their need, and to guide them in meeting the need. The IneXt most essential was to show to them, and to the peoples in friendly lands, whether allied or neutral, how the task was done; and this both as a reason for just pride in what had been achieved, and as an inspiration to further effort.
 From the beginning England's naval effort and her money effort have been extraordinary; but it could not yet be said that England's army in the field was the equal of | the huge, carefully prepared, thor oughly co-ordinated military ma chimes of those against whom and beside whom it fought.
 Now the English army is itself as fine and as highly efficient a mill tary machine as the wisdom of man can devise; now the valor andi hardihood of the individual soldier are being utilized to the l full under vast and perfected sys- tenn which enables those in control of the great engine to use every unit iIf such fashion as to aid in drivnig the mass forward to victory.
 Even the Napoleonic contest was Ichild's play compared to this. Nev CT has Great Britain been put to lsuch a test. Never since the spa cious days of Elizabeth has she been in such danger Never, in any crisis, has she risen to so lofty l a height of self-sacrifice and achievement In the giant strug- gle against Napoleon England's own safety was secured by the de- moralization of the French fleet But in this contest the German naval authorities have at their disposal a fleet of extraordinary eff | ficiency, and have devised for use on an extended scale the most for, midable and destructive of all in lstruments of marine warfare. In previous coalities England has partially financed her continental allies: in this case the expendi- lures have been on an unheard oi scale, and, in consequence, Eng lands active industrial strength in men and money, in business and mercantile and agricultural ability has been drawn on as never before | As in the days of Marlborough and Wellington. so now England has sent her troops to the conti- nent; but whereas formerly her ex- peditionary forcse, although of eX- cellent quality, were numerically too small to be of primary impor- |tance, at present her army is al
 ready, by size as well as excellence a factor of prime importance in the military situation, and it's relative as we'll as absolute importance is steadily growing.

THE BOLSHEVIKII
BY BERTON BRALEY.

They had their chance 10 keep the Russian land
True TO the Revolution and the Right;
They might have made the Slavic people stand
Stalwart and grim against the Prussan might;
They might have lived the liberty they prate
And kept the faith that freemen ever hold.
Instead, they made their state traitor state
And knitted the very cause that they extolled.
They might have caused the Russian name TO be
name Of glory, over all the world
they might have made It live for liberty
And Righteousness, instead they swiftly hurled
Their country IN autocracy's abyss
Mouthins, the while, their lying words OF peace
Betrayed their people with a Judas kiss
And left them 70 the War Lords mad caprice
This they have done. or they have sought to do,
Unless by huge miracle divine
The Russian people cast their craven Grew
From whence they came-across the German line
And, freed OF their foul blight march forth again
To fight once more like patriots and men
