Leaders Start Figuring on Possibility of Los ing Their Freedom, If Not Their Lives, As Price to Be Paid For Attempting to Originate Peace Sentiment.
(By United Press AssociatIons)

Stockholm, May 23.-Deegates are already begin ming to flock to this city in advance of the Geman-cal ed socialist peace conference. They began figuring to- day the possibility that representative socialists from begeent countries may lose their freedom, if not their lives when they return home the price for attending the meeting. This possibility, however, does not seem to have deerred many of the more prominent socialist leaders from taking the risk.
 So far the only socialists to arrive in Scandinavian countries are from Bulgaria and Austria Every effort is being made to coax the attendance of British and French socialists Lack of information with reference to the probable time of arrival of Russian and German delegates prevents announcement of the date of meeting All of the Central Powers will be represented, while from present prospects Russia is the only entente nation certain to have influential delegates.

cans Expenditure of From Fifty to Hundred And Fifty Thousand Dollars Monthly by Boys in Khaki Chamber of Commerce Has Correspondence With Officials and Will Be Assisted by Congressman Cara way-Committee Representing War De- partment Expected to Be in Paragould Within Short While

Paragould has chance-perhaps more than an even oneto secure an auxiliary military training camp Ito which would be sent from five to fifteen thousand soldiers. Plans are being perfected by the army authorities for establishment of such camp within the territory which reports to Ft Logan H. Roos and local commercial leaders have received correspondence to the effect that in all probability committee of yoff- cers will be here within few days to look the situation over R. w. MerWether president of the Chamber of Commerce, has been in correspondence with reference to the matter and in addition to addressing letters and telegrams to military officials, he made personal ap- peal to Congressman T. H. Caraway for help MT. Cara way replied this morning that he had referred MT. Mer Wethers letters to the war department. >.
 The commercial value to Paragould which would accrue as result of the establishment of such camp here is hard to overesmate With five or ten thousand soldiers camped within two miles of the city, it would mean the spending of from fifty to one hundred and fifty thousand dollars monthly with local business nst tutions It is matter of common knowledge that sol ders free spender and with increase of pay gv en them by recent of congress bringing the monthly stipend up to something thirty dollars, it may be easily that vast flood of gold would be turned loose Paragoud if the proposal secure the training camp proves successful
 It is understood that in the event the committee of army which visits Paragoud satisfied with local prospects the country club grounds will be rendered as base for operations
 In some quarters the objection is raised that Para gould should not become bidder for the camp for the reason that the moral atmosphere of the city would not be improved. Upon the other hand, the argument is advanced that in these trying times of international con- flct community shrk the responsibility for citation with the who have been called upon to de- fend the flag and is ridiculous to that Greene county wrap the cloak of holiness around it's head and do service with prayer alone

County Clerk E. E. Cox has re- ceived the following letter from State Auditor Hogan Oliver with reference to the annual pension of Iold Confederate soldiers and their widows:
 q am writing this letter to urgently request that you notify all Confederate pensioners in your county that the annual pension war rants will be sent them this year in September, the same as in for mer years.
 Newspaper reports to the effect that the last legislature failed to make the usual appropriation to pay pensioners will no doubt ere late an impression in the minds of pensioners that they will be de- prived of their annual warrants, and it is for this reason that it is deemed best to advise them at once that no delay or interruption will occur, and that they will re- ceive their warrants from this office on usual time, in September

New York, May 23.--It is the governments duty to organize a department as comprehensive and as efficient as the war department itself for the task of victualling, housing and extending medical care and supplying clothes to war mothers and their children. This, in brief, sums up the verdict ar rived at today by the Woman's League of the National Service and National American Woman's Suf- frage Association. One suggestion was that supervision of the work be undertaken by the Red Cross so- ciety. Another suggestion was that an organization of two million wo- men begin the task and see that it is successfully carried into effect.
