Alpert Balm, the great German skip
ping trust" head, was recently re-
ported to have quarreled violently with
the kaiser over the question of indem-
nifty to be paid German ship owners by
the government on account of German
ships seized by the allies and their
sympathizers.
The kaiser sought to restore German
shipping by making a partial payment
on the value of these ships, while Bal
lin was reported to have stood firm
for full value.
Presumably full value is meant in
the bill mentioned above, since it spe-
cities restoration.

UNTRUE REPORT

Information has been given The
News that certain parties in SPRING
dale are spreading the report that
the ladies soliciting the funds for the
Red Cross are to receive eommi-
ssien on the various amounts collec-
ted No baser falsehood was ever
started. There are no salaries paid
in the Red Cross from the highest to
the lowest. Every cent given to the
Red Cross goes to purchase supplies,
such as bandages, antiseptics, anis-
thetics, gauze, cotton and the many
other supplies needed in caring for
the wounded.
Further, $500 will be paid for the
name of each person spreading such
propaganda, and the money will be
turned over to the Red Cross.
It has also been reported to this
paper from a reliable source that
a report is being circulated To the eff
feet that $3.50 is being paid to all par
ties who secure volunteer to the Red
Cross work.
Patriotic men and wcmen Of SPRING
dale it is time such reports were be-
ing traced to their starting point, ard
some action taken. Such reports are
unpatriotic, and borders on an act of
treason.
Our advice to those who are so ur-
fortunate enough to be spreading re-
ports of this character, is to remind
them of the words of the head of the
Department of Justice to our alien
enemies: * FFP YOUR MOUTH

Several Of or boys attended singing
At Spring Valley Sunday night
So much rain is hindering n the eul-
tVaton of corn a great deal
Did you see any clouds Sunday?
We never obtained peep at one.
Miss Moreno Plumlee Of sprinedale
has been employed to teach our fall

Bill Reynolds and family of Ever

son and family.
Mrs. Attic Means and son lsom, and
Mrs. Ella MeCollum made trip to
Springdale Friday and had to stop in
out of the rain.
Mrs. Shade Gibson was called to
see her daughter, Mrs. Bertha Wilson,
Saturday. Mrs. Wilson had been i'll
for several days, and grew worse
Saturday morning. She was a great
deal better Sunday.
The names of some of our boys, who
were not old enough to register have
been turned IL because they did not
register, il is reported (Once again,
if these boys are not old enough. they
need not worry, Uncle Sam has called
for boys from 81 to 81, and those not
IN this limit have nothing to fear
Just be sure you are correct about the
age ditor.)
Several from our vicinity register
ed at Spring Valley last week. The
Brush Greek boys feel they weren't
given fair play, as they were not per
mitted to put in claim for exemp-
ton. The questions in the News"
indicated that claims for exemption
would be permitted, and that regis
tration day would be the last chance
to put in claim. Several of the boys
who have wives and children to sup
port, or believed themselves physi-
eally unfit asked about the exemption
claim, and were told they could not
put in claim. This claim was allow
ed at other places, and we would Ike
to ask why it was not allowed here.
eve do not presume to be authority
on the questions, but from our infor-
nation, these boys should have been
permitted to claim their exemptions.
as the registration card SO provided.
But because they claimed their ex-
emptions by no means meant that
they were exempt. The exemption
board will later pass on the exemp-
tions. The physically unfit need not
have claimed any exemptions, as they
will stand very rigid physical ex
animation before regular army ply
stefan before they are accepted for
service, and he can tell as to their
physical disqualification. About the
best advice we have for the boys, and
we happen to be one among those IN
Arkansas, is to sit tight, don't rock
the boat, and if you are called, do
what you are told, the government
will attend to- your case, and do your
bit. Editor.
