One Hundred and Forty-seventh Day.
of America in the War.
THE WORLDS HEART-SONG.

Dixie most inspiring of songs, was
the tune to which the first of Our sol
diers sailed to an unknown fate in France.
It was Dixie that broke the tcnseness OF
the final moments, stirring the heart-heavy
throngs on the pier and the men aboard
ship to cheers.
There was a silence, then a quiet note
or two, with that breath-catching pause
that we know so we'll, then a whirling up
lift of quick melody, and the ships band
had burst into the ringing strains of
"Dixiew SAYS the Southern Wonan's Mag
azine
'It was the same pike that Lincoln
proclaimed national possession when he
had it played by the government band in
Washington on the fateful day of Lees
surrender. 1t is loved by Americans, north
md south. 1t now bids fair to enclrcle the
earth.
"This was the South's battle song of the
Cos. It tells the story of heroic armies
long ago dissolved and of blood-red ban
ners fured these many years. 1t stlrs the
heart to memory and to tears.
''Iet it is not martial air. We do not
stand to its strains, nor do we uncover
when it is played. 1t is intimate and HUI
man, filled less with grandeur than with
joy. lit is more than war song-1t IS the
heart song of the South.
1T is Our song of childhood and soft lul-
labies, of youth, and pride, and happiness.
1t holds the perfume of magnolia and OF
jessamine 1t is tender with the sound Of
the south wind blowing through long
moss. 1t is vibrant with the rustic of pal
metto leaves, and sweet with the melody
of slave voices singing in the cotton and
the cane.
.'In the heart of its lightness, it carries
the patriotism and sacrifice of splendid
youth, the eternal youngness OF our long
gone heroes. It's strains defy regret and
grief They Bring to us, through many
years, the spirit of generation that held to
the Joy of life even in the midst of desola-
ton and defeat In their melody, the
dauntless hope of such youth lives again.
Dixie is the home song of a brave and
lovely land. 1t holds no bitterness, it makes
no plea. 1t goes straight from heart to
heart
And. now of this dear Southern song
of ours, we make gift to the armies of our
allies over the seas. 1t will take to them
something of the same eNultant eagerness
that it always brings to us. 1t will carry to
them, also. a message from the South more
FULL of truth and meaning than any that
mere history can teach.

AMERICAN MISSION
 ARRIVES IN RUSSIA
ANNOUNCEMENT OF SAFE PASS. AGE OF COMPASSION WAS
 MADE BY DANIELS.
TO PETR0GRAD AT ONCE
Outline of Communication to Russian Heads tndieate That America Is Fighting For ana How Far
 She Will Go.

Washington.-Th American mis- sion to Russia, headed by Elihu Root, arrived at a Russian port. Announce ment of the safe passage of the com mission was made by Secretary of the Navy Daniels
 MT Root bears plenipotentiary powers to act for the United States. Timed to coincide with his arrival, a message from the State Department outlining the war aims of the United States has been cabled to the de fac to government of Russia.
 The statement sets forth clearly what the United States is fighting for and how far it will go. The statement is addressed to Russia for two main reasons-to brace the republican gov ernment of that country by assurance of the aid of the great sister republic across the seas and to convey to the liberals of Russia the knowledge that America is fighting for the same ideals which they demand as part of any peace treaty.
 The peace aims-or the peace de- mands-they might be called, Of America, may be divided somewhat as follows:
 First-Crushing of miIitarism and abandonment of heavy armaments ds a guarantee against junkerism again plunging the world into a sea of blood This is the demand of democracy that ii may be made safe against the onslaughts of an imperial clique.
 Second-Freedom of the seas and restriction of the use of submarines as a weapon of offense. Crews of mer- chant vessels must be assured safety. In this connection, restrictions upon the use of many implements of land war are also likely. Poison gas, liquid flame and similar weapons are regard ed as too inhuman to be allowed 10 again be employed for the destruction of life.
 Third-Guarantee that will hold that small nations and their rights will be respected. This includes the re- creation and indemnity of Belgian. Servia and other little countries wip- ed out by the Germans, as well as the establishment so far as possible of borders on racial lines. A Jewish re- public in Palestine may be one of the outgrowths of the war, and this is fav- ored by the United States.

 BAR ASSOCIATION
SUGGESTS PROVISIONS FOR NEW CONSTITUTIONAL CONVEN-

WANTS F0UR-YEAR TERMS
No State Official Should Be Permitted To Succeed Himself in Opinion Of oVernor-AdVocates Advis-
 ory Pardon Board.

Hot Springs.
 Discussing the Efficiency of the Executive Department before the Arkansas State Bar Association at Hot Springs in annual convention, ani recognizing that within that body would be many of the leaders of the Arkansas constitutional convention which will frame a new constitution for this state in the fall. Gov Charles TIfllman Brough presented some point ed suggestions to that body in line of the needs that should be covered when the new constitution is framed.
 Eight points in particular were GOV cred in the address, the first being that by all means the terms of the state officers should be heightened from two years 10 four years, and that no official should be permitted to sue ceed himself in office.
 'With this done said the govern or, "the officials could devote the whole of their time and ability to con- structive work rather than in being forced so soon after getting into of flee to paving the way for the re-eIec- tion that is looked forward to with such enthusiasm.
 The policy of the state of Maryland in requiring the governor, the state treasurer, and the state auditor, as a board. to prepare a budget 30 days in advance of the legislative sessions, and giving the legislature the right to reduce, but not to increase, the figures in such a budget, was favored in an other recommendation
 Hundreds of thousands of dollars would be saved to Arkansas taEpay- CTS, said Gov Brough, through the appointment or selection of a state purchasing agent in connection with all of eur educational and charitable institutions, similar to the authority granted in Kansas This purchasing agent should buy uniform qualities of goods on the basis of competitive bids for institutions of similar character.
 Under the conditions that now ex- ist, ' said Gov Brough, "the governor of the state is held responsible in the eyes of the people for every branch If the state administration under his tenure. yet he has absolutely no au- th9rity over any of the branches that are so important to the success of that administration"
 On the subject of pardons, Gov. Trough recommended that the consti tutional convention create an advis- ory pardon board by adding one mem her from each of the congressional districts of the state He declared that E per cent of the time of the chief executive was now absorbed in attention to appeals for executive ciemency.
