Soldiers in Dermott

Dermott had an unexpected pleasure last Sunday, when one O. the trains bearing division of the Arkansas troops. now known as the l53rd lntan- try, stopped here for couple of hours early in the afternoon Among those on the train was Company k. which was organized here, and number of officers of the regiment who were orig inally with Company K, and who are Dermott boys.
 To say that a rousing welcome was given them but mildly expresses the feelings of those who were gathered to greet them as they reached their old home town, but underneath lt all was q seriousness that tempered the pleasure of the re union, and over shadowed the otherwise perfect fall day
 Among the distinguished visitors were Colonel C D. James, who nun bers many personal friends among our citizens and Captains Watson Key holds and Lee Woolfolk. both of this place, also the members of the famous First Regimen" band which. led by Joe Rietano, has attracted so much at trips and other expeditions over the country because of the excellence of their music. They are certainly SOME band. and Colonel James says they are going to play in the palace of the Kaiser, They responded very gener ously indeed to the many requests for selections. and gave what was almost a Sunday afternoon concert, which was indeed a treat to the people of Der mott
 The officers and members of the band were served with dinner at the Hotel Dermott and shortly after the arrival of the train, the everready hustler, Henry Bordeaux, assisted by George Newman and others had a generous supply of cigars and tobacco which was donated by our citizens for the soldiers.
 All too soon the bugle was sounded and orders given to entraln. but while uppermost in every mind was the thought of the uncertainty of the flu ture. no tears were shed, and goodbyes were said with courage and goodwill, for whether we go or whether we stay, patriotism and courage are the traits of the American people, and Dermott- CTS are no exception to the rule.

SAVANNAH REFINERY
PREVENTS SUGAR SHORTAGE

SAVANNAH, Ga, Nov, 27--An idea
Of how useful is the Savannah sugar
refinery came to light last week when
he Dublin Coarier-Herlad reports an
instance of gentleman in Dublin re-
ceiying a request from man in Bos-
ton for fifty pounds of sugar by ex-
press, there being no sugar in Boe-
ton. The Dublin man sent 100 pounds
by express. The existence Of the huge
refinery at Savannah has saved the
southeastern territory from a shortage
such as exists in the North. The new
crop of Cuban raw sugar will be avail
allie the latter part of next month and
the refinery will resume operations
about January 1st.

SAYS VATICAN ON
SIDE Of AUSTRIA

LONDON, Nov 26.-The Morning
Post in an editorial says:
The time has come when 1t is
necessary that the Allies should con-
slider with some care what is their po-
sition in relation to the Vatican The
recent Italian reverse has been
largely due to the influences of treaer-
erous representations disseminated
among the Italian armies is known;
that the Vatican was implicated in
that propaganda is also known, and
the result was a disaster so grave
that its effects cannot be yet measur-
ed.
IF we are to come to the plain
truth, the Vatican has leaned from
the beginning to the side of Austria,
in which country, out of all Europe,
the Holy Sea retains the strongest
remnant of political subservience,
and late events have shown that the
vatican has gone further and has fur
lively, but actively espoused the Aus
trian cause.
We cannct afford at this point of
the war preserve the attitude of pro-
found Innocence of foreign affairs
which is the foible of the British for
eign office, The British public, the
French public and the Italian public
are under no illusions On the subject
of the Vatican. Either these political
inlrigues and vaccinations are dan
ger to the cause Of the Allies, or they
are net, and ii the Secretary OF State
FOR foreign affairs assures us that
there is no reason for mis- -givings, we
regret e say that mis-givings will at
thereby be entirely removed
THE country is entitled to demanl
of the Government what in their view
is she attitude of the Vatican, and if
any protest has been addressed by
them to the Holy See. AS the matter
stands, we cannot but conclude that
there is in Italy center of disaf-
fection in secret league with Italy3
