bALFOUR PARTY GUARDED WELL
 0N THE TRIP
Details of Voyage of English Commissioners s hows Germans Out Witted,

Washington, April 22.-With the Balfour party safely in Washington, the state department has permitted the publication of details of the long trip by way of Halifax, Vanceboro, Maine, Portland and Worcester, which was surrounded with secrecy and pre- cautions never before equalled in this country.
 The British commissioners stole se- cretly away from England on April il, on a fast cruiser, protected in every possible way from German spies, who might have got out word to lurking submarines. The voyage was uneventful and the party arrived at Halifax Friday, crossing to St. Johns, a special train took them to the little Canadian town of iMcAdams, just across the international bridge which Werner Horn, a former German officer. attempted to blow up.
 Meanwhile the American reception committee slipped out of Washington last Sunday night, under the impress sion that the British had started two days earlier than they did. With five cars on a special train standing with steam up at the station, the commit tee waited anxiously from Monday until Friday afternoon when word came from Halifax which sent them on a night ride to the border. At 9 o'clock Saturday morning the party arrived at Vanceboro. To those mod est surroundings the special train which had gone on to McAdams re- turned two hours later, bearing Eng lands eminent statesmen.
 AS it drew across the bridge into the statin, Assistant Secretary Long, General Wood, Admiral Fletcher and others mounted the rear of the ob- servation car and disappeared inside to welcome the commissioners for mally to American soil. In less than ten minutes the train was under way for the capital.

PINE BLUFF WOMEN
 READY TO DO "bIT''
Local Clubs Have Not Yet Taken Steps Toward Organizing for War
 Service, but Members Willing.
(By Eunice Norris.)

As yet no active steps have been taken by the club women in the war crisis, but wherever Pine Bluff wo- men are found in groups, one may hear patriotic sentiments expressed in no weak or vascilla!ing way. The The Red Cross society and it's work is being discussed in an intelligent manner. Pine Bluff women will do their part in defending and uphold ing the Stars and Stripes and caring for the wounded soldiers.
 Club women are taking active step $ in the "Pine Bluff feed itself" move ment, and are emphasizing the cult. vation of every available spot of ground by the boys and girls. The Social Service club, who were the originators of our charities, have un- der way practical plans for the estab- llshment of day nursery, on the corner of Fourth and Chestnut. The Pine Bluff library will soon be an established fact, throcgh the inde- fatigable efforts of the library associ- ation, largely composed of women. The church organizations and club women of the city maintain city nurse, and were instrumental in the employment of stewardess at the Union station.

(By Russell Jordan.)

\Dy RuSoCll JOludu.J
 The services at Trinity Episcopal church Sunday were conducted by Right Rev. Bishop Winchester assist ed by Rev. Stowell of the local parish. Rev. Stowel presented the following class for confirmation: this being the annual visit of the Bishop to this par iSh:
 Ruth Googan. Lamar Bernhardt, Belle Fowles, Mary McGaughy, Isabel Eileyn, Richard Austin, Edith Jones.
 After the confirmation Bishop Win chester made short talk to the con- firmants. In this, address. he advises them that they are no longer toys and girls; but little men and women in that they must do their duty to the church and God. He made plain to them that a good character is formed by addition and not subtraction, in that each act of kindness or religious duty is "plus" and not minus" to them. It is the little things in life that count, the big things will take care of themselves, comparing the to form the dollar.
 The second Sunday after Easter being observed as Sailors Day" there were special prayers for our seamen. The offertory was sung by Master Paul Caperton, accompanied by the church choir
 Bishops Address.
 The bishop took his text from the book of Revolutions: Fist chapter; first verse. And saw new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away and there was no more sea-" and said in part:
 "At this time in the present con- flict, this text is very appropriate. Our boys are going out to sea to pro- tect civilization and christianity, but do not realize the dangers which con- front them. It is hoped they will keep their faith in God and go with an unselfish spirit. The sea is great separator in that when we go upon it, we cannot resort to any earthly power to protect us from the storms and rocks but must trust in God and protection, since He only has control over seas, as was shown in the time of Jesus, when he ordered the wind to cease and the waves to quiet them selves.
 "Death on the sea is entirely differ ent from that on land. No flowers can be strewn over the grave; no re- iigious songs can be sung to the ones passed away: no monuments can be erected on the waves to mark the resting place of those, lost, never to return. The only consolation we have, is that. not only the graves, but the sea shall give ID it's dead.
 "There is time coming when there will be no dangers; no grief; no sepa- ration. All families will be reunited and happy. and there will be no sea. Just as the sea monsters. the sharks, raid the bathing places of our young people along the beach; so do the sea monsters, the submarines. at tack the innocent ships carrying food and protection to the Belgians.

 Powerful as are the superdread- noughts added to the navy the past few years. such as the Oklahoma and the Nevada, the New Mexico will be superior to those vessels not only in size. but in armament. for she will carry a main battery of twelve IA inch guns as against ten of the same calibre in the main batteries of the Oklahoma and the Nevada.

 With the launching of the New Mexico the United States navy may count as it's proud possession one of the biggest and most powerful battle ships the world has ever seen.
