 Gov. Brough has issued a proclama- ton designating December 23-29 as Loyalty Week, in Arkansas, and calls upon the citizenships of every com munity to hold patriotic rallies for the purpose of informing the people and stirring them as they need to be stirred. The proclamation says: :.
 "I earnestly request that these ral- lies be held in the court houses, churches and school houses of our state: that in the cities and towns the four-minute men volunteer to ati- dress the meetings. and that in our splendid rural communities orators and patriotis should volunteer their services to the various councils ot defense to address the meetings; that the teachers in the various schools of the state, before they dismiss for the Christmas holidays, make addresses to their pupils, designed to inspire them with patriotic loyalty, and that the ministers, of every denomination preach sermon on Sunday, December B, along patriotic lines; and that the people on this day offer up fervent prayers to the most high God to vouchsafe victory to our armies on land and sea; and that during the week at least one patriotic meeting be held in public places in every com- munity. In this way, believe, that un-Americanism which Is neglible quantity in Arkansas, may begstamped out and that so-callcd pacifists may be .'left to strut their uneasy hour" with out further concern. It Is singulaily appropriate that loyalty week should fall within our Christmas idea, for ; America is today breathing the spirit of peace on earth. good will to men 7"
