VHE LAST RESERVES,

Germany has shifted some of her best troops from the eastern to the western front. This means that the Russian situation is such that the Germans evidently believe they have nothing more to fear from the Slavs, but they have much to fear from the Anglo-French offensive.
 It is evident that Hindenburg $ experiencing much unexpected dit ficulty in maintaining the western battle line. and if, as is stated, the Germans have thrown their best re- serves into the breaches of the line to stave off ultimate defeat in the west. then it can only be sho.'t time before these reserves are ex- hausted and Germany will lack 'n man-power to continue the western defensive battle. At that time the Hindenburg line will really crumble and it probably will b. the ending of the war.

"A LIBERTY BOND IN
 EVERY HOME."

The Pine Bluff Clearing House as- sociation is leading ill movement to place Liberty bond" Of the feder- al government in every home n Southeast Arkansas.
 This is in line with nationwide . movement to give people who will not be able to render personal sec- vice opportunity to shGw W their patri- otism by aiding to quickly absorb this issue of $2,OOO,000 of securities The funds derived are to be used in the war of democracy against Prus- sian autocracy.
 The members of the clearing house association and bankers generally are acting entirely from motives of pa triotism, spending money and time in the campaign with no thought hope or possibility of profit. Theirs is demonstration of unselfishness all might emulate.
 The purpose is not so much to place the bonds, as 10 place them quickly, and place them. as the slo- gan implies, "in every home." The idea is to have these securities quick ly absorbed as a good business prop osition, and to conclusively demon- strate to the kaiser and his agents that Americans are solidly behind the administration in the battle foi humanity and democracy against cru city and autocracy.
 The campaign is goirg to succeed It is going to succeed tc such an eA- tent that within a few weeks ones loyalty to the country will probably be judged by whether or not he i; the possessor of one O. more of til. bonds.
 It is great campaign, and all should cooperate. Not only by buy ing bonds, but by inducing others t. do so.
