REIDINGER ARRESTS
 ANOTHER DESERTER
Claude Volmer, Who Left Camp Beau regard Some Time Ago, Being
 Held in This City.

Claude Volmer, member of Com pany H, 153d Infantry, Camp Beaure- gard, La., was arrested yesterday morning by Deputy Constable Jim Reidinger, along the Cotton Belt tracks south of this city, and is be- ing held in the county jail, pending in- structions from the federal authori- ties.
 Volmer is charged with having de- serted from his command several days ago, and local officers say that he has confessed to having left the army without leave. He is said to have stated that he wanted to come to his home at Batesville, Ark, to see his wife and mother, and he just left the camp and headed that way. When ar rested he said that he intended going to Altheimer, and from there north.
 The arrested man was wearing civ iliaa's clothing over his uniform, and his bulky appearance caused Deputy Constable Reidinger to investigate. Contable Clint c. Green notified Colo mel James of the 153d infantry yester- day afternoon. and it is expected that a federal officer will arrive today to conduct Volmer back to Camp Beaure- gard, where he will be subjected to court-martial proceedings.

WOMAN HELP DIRECTS
 THE FINANCING OF WAR

"We pledged ourselves to stand by the government, not only spiritually, but materially" said Mrs. George Bass, former president of the Chi cago Woman's club, and the only wo- man member of the new war savings stamp committee, before the National Suffrage convention in Washington, last week. "We women, through all our little organizations, through our farmers, our clerks, our schools, our school teachers. through those who had never learned to save before, and through those who had never thought it possible to save from their meagre salary, raised over one billion dol lars in Liberty bonds." Mrs. Bass then explained the object of the thrift committee. "The president has said,' Mrs. Bass told the suffragists, "that he looks to the committee to stop the wastefulness of the country.
 "There are some benevolent by products O f war. One of them is thrift. We are growing in thrift when we buy these little savings stamps and put them on our cards. We will feel the sacrifice, we will fee 1.-the pinch, but America must pay for her ideals the things she is fighting for, not only in spiritual sacrifice, but by giving up of her material wealth"

LITTLE ROCK MAY
 HAVE WOMEN
 CONDUCTORS SOON

Unless there is an improvement in the labor situation in Little Rock, the Little Rock Railway and Electric company may be compelled to employ women as conductors and motormen. c. J. Griffith, general manager, an nounced Thursday morning.
 Mir. Griffith said that the. shortage of men had been so acute at times that it had been impossible to operate all cars. Other transit companies, he said. among them the Brooklyn Rapid Transit company, had found women satisfactory.
 Increased expenses by the rapid raise in the last year of the price of equipment, fuel and labor, and the eX- tra expenditures incident to the building of Camp Pike. were tle req sons assigned Thursday by MT. Grif- fifth as the reason, why the customary per cent semi-annual divident was not declared on the common stock of the company by the board of dir ectors at recent meeting.

PHILIPPINES NAME
 FOOD ADMINISTRATOR
Island Congress Also Plans Passing Bill For Compulsory Farm
 Labor.

Manila, Nov. .-(Corresponden of he Associated Press)-To enable the Philippine Islands to Iay their part in saving the world from pinca of hunger, the Philippine congress has passed bill through both hous- es authorizing the appointment of an administrator to take charge of a campaign for the stimulation of food production. Compulsory labor is one of the means the Philippines Secre- tary of agriculture is authorized to adopt, if necessary.
 In this connection, the long expect ed bill to permit the importion of Chinese laborers has been introduced in congress. It provides that they shall be allowed to remain in this country only five years and may not acquire any property during this period of contract. At the end of five years they will be- returned by tae government to the country when ce they came.
 Strong opposition to this bill is expected from the labor interests. If congress of the United States for IlNdI dppTOVdl SluCe Cue uIllppllc congress is not authorized to act alone on immigration questions.
 Another bill is under consideration compelling the registration of all able bodied men who are without work. Municipal governments are empow- cred to offer them work of some sort and if they refuse, to send them to jail.
 There is also a proposed measure enabling the government to fix the prices of all food products and invest ing the secretary of commerce and communications with the powers of dictator in this matter. He will seize all business connected with the sale of food stuffs, that is being run at an eXorbitant profit.
 It is expected that, in some form both the stimulation of food product ion and the regulation of food prices will surely become law. In each case the regulation will continue in force till year after the close of the war

promotion to lieutenant colonel.
 Three officers are the only ones in the combatant services recommended for advancement of more than one grade, but First Lieutenants H. E. Ross and A. w. Kener of the Medical Corps are proposed for the rank of of major. With few exceptions the advancements are to the national army.
 No reason for the promotion was given by General Pershing so far as was announced by the department. The highest rank proposed is lieu tenant colonel and as only pro- motions for general officers require congressional action, it is expected that the promotions will be approved immediately by President Wilson.

THE SPREAD OF DEMOCRACY.

we want to make the world safe for Demo cracy'
 If President Wilson had given this the only reason for the United States entering the against Germany this country would have to look for other The war is proving strong democratizing influence When representatives of the German people openly "get away with without being sent to prison for frichter" then surely democratic ideas must be gaining a foothold in the worst of all autocracy ridden countries.
 But in England, known democratic coun- try democracy, in it's broader meaning is making not able progress Many stories tell of the democratic feeling and good comradeshp existing between officers and of the British army, something unheard Of before the beginning of the This is the natural result of the fighting in the same trench and dying on battefelds of the rich and educated with the poor and lowly and of the sharing of hardshps as we'll the joy of victory by all Another reason is that many of the original officers have been emi- either by death wounds and their places have been filled by from civil life. Social distinction has disappeared.
 Compulsory military service has resulted in the soldiers uniform being honored instead of being de- spised. The hired soldier has been replaced by the citizen soldier, and here again democracy triumphs
 Tn applies to the giving way by the pro- fessiona politician in many public offices to men who their respective positions including members of Cabinets. Changes in the Cabinet no longer looked upon something extraordinary or harmful It is being realized that in true demo- cracy the best must rise to the top and conduct the affairs of the nation.
