COUNTY COUNCILS OF DEFENSE.

Little Rock, Oct. 13-Another state conference of the county councils of defense will probably be held in the Tear future in Little Rock. The last conference was most inspirational in it's influence, and was the means of securing the organization of many new counties. As the work of the council becomes better known, and the broad scope of it's duties is devel- oped in the progress of national de fense, the council assumes a more important place in the eyes of the people. Governor Brough says that he considers the council potentially one of the most important authorities . in the state.
 It is composed of busy men of af fairs, but they hold regular meetings
 on Mondays and. Fridays to discuss many matters of urgent interest that are submitted. Just now the coun,- ;>cjl. acting through the county coun,s | cils, whereby they come into con tact with the people, IS turning it's at tention to the campaigns for the sale I'of the second Liberty loan, and for Ithe food conservation pledge card.

To prove that a clergyman can make a better living at almost any work than he eau at preaching, the Rev. w. G.

WHEN STATESMEN GO BACK.

Thirty-three members of the coun- cil of national defense also sit as officers or directors of corporations that made 900 million dollars last year in war profits, and which it is estimated will make 1,200 millions more this year. These gentlemen have been accused of being patriots in the morning and pirates in the af ternoon. We prefer to believe they arc patriots all the tin!a. But if congress had drafted their excess war profit. we would have been surer of it. Congress could have taken 80 per cent as England did. and still have left them twice as much to the good as they were making before the war, and that was great plenty.
 It is up to every American citizen 10 see that this war is conducted hon orably and not as a money making proposition. Another session of con eress meets in December, and when
 the statesmen go back to it. it must be with the understanding that fair and just taxation to pay for the war is their chief business, and that it is urgent and pressing business Capper's (Topeka, Kans.,) Weekly.

MIME. MENOCAL HEAD
 OF CUBAN RED CROSS

Havana, Oct. 13.--The Cuban Red Cross society, of which Mariana Nenocal, wife Of the president of Cuba, is chairman. has begun the work of equipping a 100-beG hospital unit, manned by a staff of Cuban phy- sjcians and nurses. for active service in the westcr2 front III France. Tnis enterprise, which will reach opm pletion at an carly date, is to be financed by a fund of $1000 00C, 1 which Cuban women prominent in so- i cictv h:ra, have set themselves out to raise.
 Announcemcpt of the plans of the ; Cuban Red C.2s& followed a special ulee .ting of the presidential palace here, presided over by the wife of the president. and attended by all the i Cuban Red Cross directors. and repre- i c1et9tives of various governmental deHartments and the Cuban press.
 The encouragement the Red Cross has received from capitalists through i out the island republic and the pro. : sress made il assembling of equip ment and the training of volunteer workers. led the Red Cross officials to believe that before the fund has been completed, the unit will be ready for service. Cooperation, which was recently inaugurated between the Cuban and American Red Cross off cials, has helped make this Cuban unit possible.
 With upwards of S100.000 already in hand, in advance of the canvass for the million dollar fund, various steps, some of them unusual in this connection. are being utilized to bring tho fund to quick completion. Each sugar plantation mill, in Cuba, has teen asked to set aside $1,0G0 for the Red Cross, and many of them have already done so.
 A national Red Cross tag day' to be observed in all parts of the re- public. is likewise planned and, ac- cording to the announcement of Mime. Menocal. workrooms have already been opened. In the old Havana postofficel a complete Red Cross workshop is in operation with cleo tricallv operated sewing machines, donated by Mme. MenOcal and Sonora de Marti, wife of the Cuban minister of war and navy.
 Representatives of the Cuban press have donated space for the enter prise, and today the Red Cross flag in this city is almost as familiar as the national colors. instruction in the making of Red Cross material is being supervised by Mrs. Carlton R. Rear, wife of the United States naval attache here. and Mrs. w. C.. Ames of the Havana branch of the American Red Cross.
