cIlNe2ESS TAXES UP
 WAR PROBLEMS TODAY
leaders Expect Appropriations ~ of S2O, 1000, ,OOO-Action on .Drv" and Suffrage Amend ments Also Probable.

Washington, Dec. 3.-Congress re- ossembled today with war problems bofore it which probably will keep it in session until September or October. Leaders expect these results:
 Declaration of war on Austria.
 Now and more radical war profits taxes.
 War appropriations approximating sO,OOO, O,O00,0O0.
 Action on proposed "dry" and wo- man suffrage amendments to the na- tional constitution.
 There is general recognition that the session will be largely emergency in character, taking up war measures as events at the front develop. Many members favor keeping the sesion until the end of the war, or the con stitutional life of the body ceases. The fact that all members must seek re- election next fall and wish to be in their districts acts, however, as a brake on this movement.
 The Senate has problem all it's oyn-Lafollette. When the special war session adjourned, there seemed to be a general agreement to attempt to censure and not to expel him. The Wisconsin pacitist, however, has given every indication of pushing the fight to a decision himself-the two alter mates being either that he is an ex- pelled martyr or the vindicated victor. He confidently expects the latter re- suit, counting on the Senate's strong iIee- speech convictions.
 , Three most powerful forces in the HouSe-Reps. Kitchin, Fitzgerald and Speaker Clark-are committed to lev ies of so per cent of war profits. Sen tment IS general that not only must all leyies be increased but that new ways of raising money must be in- vented. High cost of food is working against proposed consumption taxes.
 Declarations of war are possible against Bulgaria and Turkey as we'll as against Austria. Action on these matters will rest solely on recommen- dations from President Wilson.
 Leaders generally expect the "dry'' amendment to be successful, and the suffrage amendment to be beaten. The carrying of New York has had two eifects-it has shown the women's strength, but also has given ammuni- uon to those who argue that the cause can succeed in a state-by-state fight.
 The dry amendment needs only to

GAS PIPE ExPLOOES
 MILE NORTH OF BIERNE

Mir. McIver, local manager for the Arkansas Natural Gas Company, re- ceived a telephone call last night about 12 o'clock to the effect that the gas main about mile north of Bierne has bursted, caused by an explosion of unknown origin. Mir. McIver inn mediately hired car and rushed to the scene, and up to time of going to press he had not returned to Prescott, and therefore nothing definite can be learned.
 The gas supply to all points north of the break is absolutely cut off, but will not affect consumers south of the break.

ARKANSAS NOW OH
 SOUND CASH BASIS
Appropriations Being Withheld From Expenditure by Agree
 ment Will Keep State Above Low Water Mark Financially.

Little Rock. Dee. 3-"Sit steady in the boat" advises those who have been making an analysis of the state finances, land we will get through the breakers all right"
 Van B. Simms, deputy state comp troller, calls attention to the fact that $255,1O0 of the appropriations made last legislature are being withheld from expenditure by agreement, and if this agreement is not broken, the state, now on sound cash basis, will never again reach the low-water mark financially, that it had for several years. Discussing the appropriations for the various institutions Mir. Simms says that he believes it is all wrong and adds
 "The appropriations for each of our educational and charitable institutions contain from 25 to 60 items and al- though they may save on one of these items, they are prohibited from using the savings for any other purpose. This has a tendency to cause the ex- penditure of the entire amount of each item, although in some instances, if they were allowed to do so, the boards might make better use of the money for another purpose.
 "The university and agricultural schools secured section to their bills this time allowing the expenditure of the amount saved on one item for the purpose mentioned in any other item But, with this provisO even, we find in the case of the Second District Agricultural School that the items of fuel, fertilizer and feed were left out entirely, and as each is absolutely necessary, they are forced to purchase through a deficiency proclamation. This means they cannot pay for same until April, 1919, and it is not difficult to imagine just what the purchasing power of dollar is under those cir cumstances. Tn order to secure the proclamation, they agreed to withhold expenditure of $4,SO0 of their appro- priations for other purposes and while they are paying two-year credit prices for what they buy this $4,S0O is moulding in the state treasury wait ing for 1919 to come that it may be paid out for the tprobably) S4,00O worth of fuel feed and fertilizer pur- chased
 The state lomptroller is making an effort to locate all the old warrants shown to be outstanding in order that the accounts on the treasurers books may be closed. Many of these bear date of 1911, 1912, 1913 and 1914.

SAVINGS AND THRIFT CAM,
 PA|GN 0F SCHOOL CHILDREN

It is planned to enlist by Dec. 22 of this year, at least 5000, 900 school children of the nation in a savings campaign for the purpose of starting systematic savings and thrift for pur- chasing War Savings Certificates and Thrift Stamps.
 Arkansas as well as every other state in the Union is now being thor oughly organized for the campaign, which is to begin Dec. 10. Principals and superintendents of schools are to be asked to distribute through their teachers literature on the subject dur ing the present week. County exam iners and superintendents are asked to do the same thing in the country schools.
 "The education of the child in thrift" says the state chairman, twill establish a basis for character which will be of inestimable value to the future of the nation. 1t is thought advisable to start the campaign in all the schools, where possible, before the Christmas holidays, so that the first of January will see the children thor oughly acquainted with the War Say ings movement"

AMERICANS CAUGHT IN
 GERMAN TURNING MOVE

With the British Army in France. Dec. 1.-Large numbers of American army engineers working on the Brit ish railways in the region of Gauge court, caught in the German turning movement, escaped by lying in shell holes and prone on the ground while the British fired over them. There they remained until the British were near enough to enable the Americans to join the ranks, when they fought valiantly and played an important part in replying to the enemy. The British commanders refer to their gallant behavior with the greatest en- thusiasm.

CANNED FOOD GRAFT
UNMASKED AS fraud
Two Women Posing as Federal
Agents Swindle Housewives.

Reports that two white women pos
ing as agents of the Food Admins
tration are taking preserved fruits
and vegetables from negroes In the
eastern sections of Washington
brought a warning statement yester-
day from Clarence r. Wilson, food
administrator for the District.

northeastern section, have been Wis
tied by the women. who demand half
the canned goods on hand, saying
the food is desired for soldiers and
sailors.
In many sections Of the South the
same swindle has been perpetrated,
probably aided by the recent De-
partment Of Agriculture census OF
all canned fruits and vegetables, as
the people visited may have been
persuaded Of the legitimacy of the
collection.
Mr.. Wilson requested that any per-
sons visited by persons attempting
to practice this fraud report at once
to the Food Administration. 14S9 X

lows:
ut is reported that two white wom-
en- are canvassing the District in
the guise of agents of the Food Ad-
ministration and demanding the de-
livery of preserved and canned goods
in the possession OF the householders.
Such persons are frauds and will
be prosecuted to the full extent of
the law.
similar offenses should be at once
reported to Clarence r. Wilson, Food
Administration. 1879 X street north

will be instituted, to be followed by

administering BAPTISM BY INNER
SION?
TheoIogians are generally agreed
that for centuries after the time Of
Christ immersion was the only mode
Of authorized baptism; and philolo-
cists testify that the very word hap
tie" is derived from the Greek verb
meaning to immerse or bury. The
Holy Scriptures prescribe baptism
by immersion as essential to saliva
tion. and none other form is validat-
cd by the Word of God.
To the Nephites on the Western
Continent the resurrected Lord ap-
pearcd soon after His ascension from
the Mount of Olives. He gave tho
people explicit instructions as to the
way in which the essential ordinance
Of baptism was to be administered:
Verify. ] say unto you. that whose
repcnteth of his sins through your
words. and desireth to be baptized in
my name. on this wise shall ye bap-
tie them: behold. We shall go down
AND STAND IN THE WATER, and
in my name shall We baptize them.
And now behold, these are the words
which We shall say. calling them by
name. saying, Having authority given
me Of Jesus Christ I haptize you in
the name of the Father. and Of the
Son. and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
AND THEN SHALL YE IMMERSF
THEM IN THE WATER. AND COME
FORTH AGAIN OUT OF THE WA
TER" (BOok of Mormon, Nephi.
II :22-26).
Baptism as prescribed by revela-
ton in the present age is after the
same pattern: and every baptism ad-
ministered in the Church of Jesus
Christ of Batter-day Saints Is by i'm
mersion. (See Doctrine & Covenants,
o0:72-T4D
To be acceptable unto God. and
therefore efficacious as a means of
