Arkansas Troops May Not Leave
 Camp Demina Until February.

San Antonio, Jan. 24.--The return movement of the National Guard organizations ordered home should begin January 26 or 27, says re- port from General Funstons head quarters yesterday. It is estimated that a month will be required to complete the movements of all the units. To facilitate the use of roll ing stock, the troops have been di- vided into three groups. Organiza- tions in group No. will go first.
 The First Arkansas is included in group two, which probably will not start for home until the first of February

FOUND "LEAK'COAT THAT STAYPUT
It Now Is Said That Some Person Abroad Has Secret Code Used by State Department and the N. Y.
 Brokers Got Peace Tip There.

Washington, Jan. 25.-Confiden- tial messages of the State Depart ment have leaked because the State Department codes are known abroad, the State Department has reason to believe, high official stated today.
 Because of this the code has been altered from time to time, having been changed only recently. Charges that the code is known abroad had been made secretly, but until today, however, the State Department has never admitted it's belief that the code is in foreign hands.
 In view of the house leak com mittee query as to whether New York brokers had information from abroad of the Presidents recent note, the admission from the State Department is of significance today. It may mean that this government hopes to trace the leak abroad rather than thru Washington.
 About nine months ago the Unit ed Press carried a dispatch from Berlin to the effect that keys of the United States code had become known in many of the European capitals and that knowledge of this caused sudden altering of the code used by this government.

MART II. LEADAMAN KILLED.
Former Mcna Man Lost Life in q
 Train Wreck.

Mart H. Leadaman, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Leadaman of this city, and formerly himself a resident of
 Mena, and at one time associated with R. B. Board in business, lost his life Saturday morning in railroad wreck when passenger train No. f, south bound, ran into the rear of freight train No. 5i, of which Mr. Leadaman was conductor.
 The accident happened near mile post 256, about two miles north of Stilwel. The passenger engine was in charge of Engineer C. F.. Covert and Fireman Aiken, and both of them sustained severe injuries. Mir Covert, it is reported, sustained cuts and bruises on his head, and Fire man Aiken sustained a dislocated shoulder and other injuries. Mir. Leadaman, it seems, was killed in- stantly.
 It seems that the freight train was supposed to be running twenty minutes ahead of train No. i, but in some way the order was over looked and when the approaching passenger train was discovered, it was so near upon the freight ca boose, that it could not be stopped. The wreck occurred at a point where there is decided curve, which was partially responsible for the failure to see the approaching train. Fortunately none of the pas sengers were injured, tho some of them sustained severe jolts. The engine of the passenger train was and it was necessary to use a freight engine for the remain der of the trip. The train reached Mena about i0:30 o'clock this morn ing being about 8 hours behind its schedule time.

REAL ESTATE MARKET SLOW.
John Thompson Tells of Inactivity
 and of OvertlOwing Banks.

John Thompson returned Friday afternoon from Memphis, where he had been looking after his real estate and other interests for the last three months. Mir. Thompson notes that Mena is not out of line with other sections of the country in the matter of inactivity i'll real es- tate transfers. In fact, other con- ditions considered, he finds that there is really proportionately more activity here than in Memphis and other places that he visited. On the other hand, he notes that money is accomplishing in the banks until financiers are becoming worried about the enormous amount of idle money on hand. He f0resees a time when this condition will be changed when this idle money will again be lput to work, and then will begin one of the greatest eras of prosperity
 and development that this country
 has ever experienced.

SEES PROGRESS IN
 MOVE FOR PEACE
President Believes Immense Stride Has Been Made Toward Ending the War-Expects the Teu-
 tons to Act.

Washington, Jan 28.-President Wilson was satisfied last night that his latest peace move has made an immense stride toward ending of the European war. His advisers were almost enthusiastic over the developments regarding the plan for league to enforce peace. They say that only forward step by the Germanic Allies is necessary to start the world on the high road to peace within reasonable time.
 The administration looks for de- finite action from Germany on the presidents latest peace proposal all most immediately. The president and his advisers believe that the conference of Teutonic leaders at field headquarters on the occasion of the kaiser's birthday yesterday will result in definite peace move.
 Unofficial advices from the Teu- tonic powers have recorded the de- velopment of a strong public senti- ment for peace, and the apparent willingness of the German govern ment to talk peace terms since the beginning of the peace discussions is expected to result in a more or less definite endorsement of the presidents latest plan
 Peace Sentiment Growing.
 The Russian governments official endorsement of the league to en- force peace plan, and of the peace terms demanded by President Will son in his Senate speech, encour- aged the president greatly. This en- dorsement, coupled with adviees that public gatherings in England and France had demonstrated their endorsement of the plan and that sentiment in Italy strongly favors the presidents proposals was &C., cepted as showing clearly the de- velopment of real peace sentiment among the entente powers for the first time since the president ini- tiated his peace movement.

Fortunately the stock was all out of the barn at the lime, so he sustained no loss along that line.

Extracts From a Speech Made in
 the House by Congressman FeSs
 of Ohio on December il, i9i6.
 "I know of no suggestion in legis- laiion that has met such universal approval as Vocational Education For years many leading business men and educators have been en- dorsing it. This comes from the conviction that whatever good our present school system has achieved and it has been great-it is not designed to care for the boy or the girl who leaves school at the age of fl. More than S5 per cent of all the children that enter the public schools of the country leave the schools before they reach the age of f6. Only 3 per cent of those who graduate in high school ever enter college. Yet most of the efforts made in all grades of public school work is designed to induce the pupil to enter high school, the college or the university; indeed very strong ly endorse it, but when you realize the amount of money that is ex- pended by taxation for our public school system and then discover that g3 per cent of those who enter the school leave it before they finish the course, it is a startling fact when it is remembered the effort employed Go advance from work or pupil to that of student. Our finest buildings are those devoted to edu- cation, and yet only a small propor- ton of our school population ever goes thru them We ought to do some thing beyond what we have done for the 93 per cent who leave the schools before they reach the college grade.
 No pupil should stop school at the early age of ii But they do, and the great problem before us is how to reach the 93 per cent that are leaving school before gradua- ton to work with their hands to make living.
 We devote too much time to the culture side of things and not enough to the three reading, 'riting, and 'rithmetic.' In the ed ucational field there seems to be an itching to do the things that will at tract attention.
 "The bill under discussion on vo- cational education provides that in- stead of confining educational ac- tivities to the present course, which is largely for college entrance, we should enlarge upon it for vocational reasons. and give Federal aid to the studies of agriculture, home eco- monies and to the various indus tries and trades

Mexico City, Jan. 28.-General Obregon, minister of war, yester- day said that preparations have been made for the occupation by government troops of the positions in northern Mexico from which General Pershing withdraws and that orders had been given to Gener- al Murguia fer such disposition Of his troops as will prevent any raid by Villas command.
 The military situation turnout the republic has improved immeas- urably during the last month and General Murguia's campaign in the North is proceeding with the utmost success" said Colonel 0bregon. This is the first real campaign in the North against Villa and will be pressed home. The government will never again make the mistake of simply defeating and scattering the bandits, but will crush them beyond any chance of recovery or of future menace"
