Concerning Effect Of

rebuttal of the defense expert testi-

alleged murderer of Mrs. Maude A.
king, is promised by the state today
as the result of additional tests with
automatic pistols last night, in which
gun experts of national reputation par
ticipated.
[, Physicians testified that in their
opinion Mrs. King could have killed
herself by accident or suicide and that
pistol shots fired into a paper blotter
with false hair would leave no
powder burns.
The defense has indicated its pue-
pose to introduce Alton Means as a
WITNESS but will not state whether il
will put CASTOR on the stand. BY Alton

correspondence between the brothers
and to explain why Mrs. King. under
mo circumstances, was to know what

Hindenburg Still Has
Faith In Submarine

Amsterdam, Dec. 3.-Hindenburg and
his shadow, Quartermaster Genera
Ludendorff, still pin their faith on the
German U-boats to win the war. In
terviews with the two, received here to-
day, quoted Hindenburg as deriding Am
erica's war efforts and insisting the
submarines "would prevent a big Am
erican army arriving in Europe, even
if the fear of Japan did not.''
Ludendorff declared the submarines
have accomplished their purpose, which
was to incline England toward peace.

cent by federal regulation, there viii be

as an entirely new brand of patriotism.
We farmers never dreamed of making
nine per cent profit. We dom make
three per cent.
"Unless something is done, 1 think
there is a real serious acute danger
of famine in this country, through mere

of high school football stars will en- ter the University in September. Owing to the absence of some of the veterans, these men will have a better chance at making the team than fresh men have had for many years.
 Another source of good material for the Varsity team next fall is the freshman team of last year. These men under the rules of the conference were not allowed to play on the Var sity team although several of them were better than the regulars. Most of these men will be in college next year.
 Jas. B. Craig, the All-American half back from the University of Michigan, will be on hand to coach the team unless he is called to the fed eral service before that time. In case MT. Craig comes to the University and coaches during. the football sea- son, he expects to enter the federal service soon thereafter.
 The Arkansas football schedule as already made oot includes games with the Universities of Louisiana, Okla homa and Texas, with Henry Kendall College, the winner of the 1916 south western championship, with the Rolla Minors, Hendrix College, and one or two other minor games. It is now believed that most if not all of these games will be played as arranged.
