AMERICA MUST EjIi1, BUT

We Can No Longer Look Upon the War As Something Detached and Remote Fr0n sS-It
 Is Cur War.

Little Rock, Nov 2.-The war sit ;.ation is not all favorable. The pros nnat is very gloomy, and the sooner the people of America realize it. the sooner can the war be won by the AL lied armies.
 | America, has not yet begun to fight or tG sacrifice The people must learn actual instead of theoretic sacrifice sacrifice until it hurts, until they feel tie pinch of deprivation.
 Thousands and thous2 ndS of Ameri- can sGld CTS must lay down their lives upon the European battlefeldS that their women-folk aud their child ren may not be slain at their own fire sides in America.
 We can no longer look upon the war as something remote and detached from us-it is our war. and with the victor ou@ Germans pressing on the Southern and Eastern fronts, and cont. and their campaign of relentless iIightfulness on the high seas, it is Americas s task to w.n the war.
 American men and American re- sources must be subord;aated to every other cons iteration. else the strife will ba ,rclonged for years and America W:ll be improvei ished il man-E over as we'll as money.
 America must win, is the cry Of Gil America must not lose.
 Bat is will not ba an e2asy task, and r this clIa.s the stern duty of every citizen must be so thoroughly inn pressed upon Us that there can be no middle ground of support ot the gov ernment program.

lery range used by the school of fire
here more than q year ago, took the
lives of Privates Nelson and James
Kelly of Battery A, I'd Missouri Field
Artillery. here late today, when the fire
over which the soldiers were cooking
their first meal since their arrival,
caused an explosion which wrecked the
mess hall and wounded four. com
panions. They were: Privates Oakley,
Bloomer. McGraw and Raymond Rose,

Nelson was killed outright. while
Kelly died on his way to the military
hospital, where the wounded We're

had been erected.
With the exception of Oakley none of
the wounded was seriously injured.
