To the County Councils Of Defense:
America is now selecting the men
who will go to France and Belgium as
soldiers Of the republic. These men
come from every community, from
every trade and industry, from poor
and rich alike.
1t is fitting that these young men
receive the honors they deserve. The
Arkansas State Council Of Defense
suggests that the completion Of the
first draft be the occasion for demon.
stration in each county or community.
The names Of the men who go should
be deposited in the county valuts to
be preserved forever
The county councils are called upon
to see that some patriotic exercises
are held to honor our soldiers.
The State Council of Defense unani
mously passed a resolution endorsing
the order for compulsory vaccination
Of the school children of Arkansas and
asking all county councils Of defense
to cooperate with the county boards
of health in securing the enforcement
Of this order.
You are requested to offer the as.
sistance of your county council to your
county board of health.

Use the Wood that Is Wasting

Fuel is going to waste in Indiana. Not be-
cause we are overheating our rooms but because
we are permitting it to go to waste in wood lots.
Richard Lieber, state forester, suggests that
thousands of cords of wood, are rotting in pas
ture and timber lots. Fallen branches cover the
ground, unused and losing their fuel value as the
days pass.
Hundreds of poor persons could lay in sup
ply of wood that would help them through the
winter months if they knew where to get It and
could obtain permission from the owners.
Hundreds of farmers in Wayne county would
be glad to permit worthy persons to gather the
fallen limbs and take them home.
Every cord of wood retrieved from disintriga-
ton means so many pounds of coal saved for war
work.
Or, go one step farther. If the farmers were
able to find the time, which many of them cannot
because of corn husking they could cut enough
wood to enable them to use this for fuel instead
of coal.
This would release thousands of tons of coal
which are used in rural homes. Add this ton
mage to the supply needed for the factories that
are making war munitions, and the railroads
would be relieved of part of their transportation
troubles, giving them additional cars to haul the
supplies and munitions needed for war work.
This kind of intensive cooperation may seem
over-exaggerated to most of us, but before many
forts become more intense, the necessity of the
most intimate kind of cooperation will become
increasingly apparent.

MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.
The Unseen Foe

Germany's shock troops and picked Bavarlan
fighters know the war game. They constitute a
foe whose fighting ability is not underestimated
by the Allies. They are men who appear on the
battlefields to brave shot and SHE'LL They are
known.
But greater yet than the visible German army
is the legion of unseen soldiers whose activities
extend to every belligerent and neutral
camp This unseen foe is made up of the spies
which Germany has planted in every country.
These invisible foes, whose punishment is
death if detected. are not novices at the game.
They were working in the United States long be-
fore the war was declared They were recruited
with care, trained in Berlin, picked because they
were admirably fitted for their nefarious work.
Americans are an easy-going and tolerant
people, They dismiss the spy danger with a
laugh believing that it is not real or menacing.
Their wrath is slow to RISE
1t is high time that we are shaking off this
feeling, and appreciate the extent of the invisible
foe that is thwarting our war work at home Our
soldiers on the front must fight not only the Ger
mans in the trenches but also the German spies
in this country
We have manifestations of German propag-
anda and spy work in our own community
Highly sensational charges against the Red Cross
work. allegations against the honesty of the per-
in charge, silly statements that Red Cross
sweaters are not sent to the front but are ap-
propriated by workers, and scores of other fool
ish but damaging utterances are craftily en-
gendered and spread by the spies of the Kaiser
Some good Americans gullible enough to
swallow the bait and so the stories are told from
house to house until almost irreperable damage
is done to a noble cause.
How can this sort of talk be stopped?
We believe that one effective cure is this.
The next time man utters an anti-American
thought, impugns the work of the Red Cross and
the 7. M. c. A, expresses sympathy for Ger
many, hit him hard as you can. Smash him
in the face Don't argue with him, but smash
him.
Then, let's see whether public opinion won't
back you to the limit A few incidents of this
kind will convince German sympathizers that
Richmond is unhealthy place for person who
is not loyal to his country.
Another effective method is to report disloyal
statements of all kinds to the police and to Post
master Beck. Don't hesitate but act Tell the
police and federal officers exactly what was said
and by whom You'll not be disappointed in the
speed with which Uncle Sam acts
If you still believe that we are exaggerating
the condition, read the following citation from an
article written for The Saturday Evening Post by
j. Curtis Roth, formerly United States vice-con-
sui at Plauen, Saxony:
Scientific spying is Prussan product It knows No
