trail powers Of 160,3 SOC, 900. On the
side of the Entente allies including
the United States, China, Brazil and
Cuba, there are: Belgium, $4,000, 900;
British empire, 448,0OO,0 900; France,
81, 1000, 900; Italy, 100000 0 Japan,
100000 900; Montenegro, 500, 900;
Portugal, 15,000,OOO; Rumania, 7,600,-
900; Russia, $4,000, GOO; Serbia, a.
600 900; United States, 112, 1000, 900;
China, 400, OOO, 900; Brazil, "a, 600. 900,
and Cuba, $500 900. A total for the
Entente allies of 1,41O, 900 900.
Of the land area involved, there is
more than four-ffths of the worlds
territory. In Europe only Scandinavia,
Holland, Switzerland, Spain and
Greece are not actively involved in
hostilities. In Africa there is only
Abyssinia and Liberia. In North Am
erica only Mexico is supposedly neu-
trail, while in South America, British
and French Guiana and Brazil are
either at war or upon the verge of it.
In Asia only Persia, Afghanistan and
Siam are not involved.
In mere mass of human beings the
Entente allies are incomparably stron-
ger, having more than 1,240,O00, 900 in
exces of the people of the Central
powers. 1t must be remembered, of
course, that a large part of those num-
bered with the Entente allies are not
available for substantial help. Some
of them are not v e up to the stand
ard of intelligence of Germany's allies
in Turkey. But eliminating all but the
really superior people on the side of
the Entente allies and there are still
hundreds of millions of strong people
in excess of those represented by the
Central powers.
If all the of these great
world nations on the Entente side
could be mobilized, the crushing Of the
Teutons would be inevitable and quick
ly accomplished. If only half of the
available military strength of the
United States, Japan, China and Brazil
were poured into the trenches of Eu-
it would be overwhelming.
These figrues may help to afford a
view of the war as it exists at
this time. What the future will de-
no human being knows. But if
some mighty intellect should devise
a way by which the combined forces
Of the world allies could be utilized in
direct fighting with the Central pow
ers the end of the war would come
a few months or weeks.

Little Rock, Dec. 13.-Coming "A hours ahead of it's schedule, and her. aided by a 21-mile an hour gale, the predicted cold wave will strike Littl, Rock in full force Thursday night. and the temperature will drop to 6 degrees above zero, according to the weather bureau district forecast.
 But there is hope in the future. ac- cording to Section Director H. s. Cole, who saws that it appears the cold wave wi have spent itself during Thursday night, and citizens may look for fair weather and rising tempera- ture Friday.
 There is another area of high pres sure above Calgary, but there are some lows ahead of it that are ex pected to get across, and it is not thought hardly possible that a third successive cold wave is in sight To all appearances the present frigid weather will break Friday, the local sage said, and the weekend should bring seasonable weather.

 "The question naturally arises that with Lewis guns available, why did not we use them and make more. " said he That is question l can not answer.''
 Senator Wadsworth wanted to know if the troops could not be sup piled with Lewis guns while they were waiting for Brownings.
 "We think we can supply all of our troops in the theater of war with light machine guns without using the Lewis" said General Crozier. From now until April the French guns will be ample."
 Senator Hitchcock questioned whether the allies could supply guns in sufficient number for the American forces, but the ordnance officer de- clared that for the first time they had surplus

MEN WANTED

A . result of the war there is an enormous demand in all lines of busi- ness, both public and private. for trained men and women. Leading men of the nation are unanimous in the opinion that it is a patriotic duty for men who are not eligible for army service to pursue busoness or techni- cal training and fit themselves for ser. vice elsewhere.
 Young men who are not in the se- lective draft, are wanted in business positions provided they have the right training. Little Rock and Arkansas business men are begging now for trained help; they need men-great numbers of thenl-and must have them. It is a splendid opportunity for those who will train themselves in bookkeeping, shorthand. and ether branches of clerical work.
 Mir. George A. Mclean, President of Draughon's Business College of Little Rock, Ark, advises that the demand for office help has trebled In volume during the last three or four months, and that in August alone, nearly 200 positions were offered the students of his school A very large majority could not be filled as there was not sufficient number of trained students available. MT. Mclean strong ly urges a business training and says that wonderful opportunities are now open to the young men and women of Arkansas.
 /. Those who are looking for an op- portupity and believe in the Do it now" spirit, should, by all means. communicate with MT. Mclean and learn his plan for assisting young peo- pla te prepare for business life. t

Oyster Cheap Food.

Only the sea herring can equal the oyster in cash value as a product of the sea. This is partly because they are so palatable and partly because they are so inexpensive. A pint can usually be purchased for 20 cents on the coasts and nourishing stew for several persons can be made of pint of oysters. The North Atlantic ocean produces more oysters than are to be found in the oyster beds of all other countries, but oyster farming is a profitable industry in many lands. The mid-Atlantic coast Is particularly noted for its oysters.
