HAMPSTEAD CO.
 SEAT QUESTION
Was Argued FOrallf Before the Arkansas Supreme
 Court Last Monday
MUCH INTEREST FELT
Some Feeling Alas Been h. jected Into Former
 Proceedings

The Hampstead county seat case was argued orally and sub- mitted in the Supreme Court Monday mornibg. The court handed nown 15 opinions, none of which was of statewide inter est.
 The action in the Hampstead county seat case is petition2for a mandamus to compel the cir cult judge of the Eighth judicial circuit to hold court at Washing ton. Washington originally was the county seat. Three years ago an election was held and Hope was declared the victor. The county offices and records were moved to Hope and placed in a rented building. Last spring the SuIrame Court, in a case growing out of the election, held that returns in two townships indicated there was fraud in the election because many more votes were recorded than there were voters registered oAs the poll tax books. The court threw out the vote of these townships. which gave the decision to Wash ington.
 A month ago, acting upon a County Court order, deputy sher- ifs and residents of Washington went to Hope in automobiles and took the records back to the courthouse at--Washington. Cir cult Judge Haynie, however, has declined to recognize the changed seat of government and announced he would hold Circuit Court at Hope. The action sub mitted in the Supreme Court yesterday seeks to compel him to hold court at Washington.

 MING OF OUR FIGHT.
REGULARS NEED 100000 MEN
National Guard Will Require 10000 More ecruits-GeneraI Staff Plans Gall For Army of 100000
 Witntn Year.

Washington.-Tne United States will be represented on the fighting fronts of Europe, both land and sea, by an army of perhaps 500,000 men and a powerful force of naval vessels, within year.
 The Pershing expedition to France and the fotilla of destroyers now hunting down submarines in the war zone, are but the beginning. This was indicated in official circles.
 Beginning at once the big pusa" for volunteers for the military service will begin. The regular army needs more than 100000 men to bring it to war strength and the national guard requires '170,000 additional. Besides these a volunteer force of 10000 to fill the places of regulars withdrawn to train the volunteers and the 5O0,- GOO selective conscripts are wanted.
 With recruiting officers shooting a. a total of more than 400.000-and this is regarded in War Department cir cles as the real test of volunteer meth ods-eyery ounce of machinery is to be brought to bear to fill these places before the draft goes into operation, probably late in August.
 The general staff plans call for an army of approximately 100000 with in year Indeed, the total will be swelled sto probably 100000 in that period as the second increment under the conscription bill probably will be ordered to the colors before more than nine months has elapsed.
