4TH ARKANSAS |NFANTRY
Boone County Will Be Expected
To Furnish a Company Of Two
Hundred and Fifty Men.

Governor Brough and Adjutant Gen.
eral England have started the wheels
rolling in the organization of a Fourth
Arkansas National Guard volunteer
regiment for possible service in
France. This regiment will have the
same status as the old National Guard
organizations until it is given federal
largely of men who are not subject to
service under the selective draft law.
Persons who are within the draft age
are eligible for enlistment in the new
regiment, but are subject to call in the
draft just as if they had not enlisted
Their service in the Fourth Arkansas,
however, will give them a valuable
military training which will naturally
place them in line for quicker promo.
ton if they should be called into the
National Army later.
Adjutant General Lloyd England, by
authority of the governor has COM
missioned Major Fred W. Greene, of
the Citizens Bank, of HarrisOn Frank
E. Patrick, president of the Farmers
Bank, of Olvey, and Claude B. Crump-
Ter, late county clerk, recruiting Off
GERS for the proposed Fourth Infantry
Men between IS and As are eligible
for enlistment in the National Guard
men under Is are not permitted to en-
list, even if they have the consent of
their parents The ace limit has been
raised to 40 instead of 35 as hereto
fore, and it is requested that all re-
cruiting literature be amended ac.
cOrdingly.
Major Greene has been an active
guardsman for a number of years, and
would have been in the service had he
not failed in his physical examination.
He holds a commission in the inspec-
tion department and hopes to be called
to service in the near future.
Mr.. Patrick was commissioned cap
tain during the Spanish American war
by President Mckinley. He saw ser
vice in Cuba and Puerto Rico. While
stationed at Santiago, Cuba he had
yellow fever and was sent to the yell
low fever hospital near FL Cristo,
where hundreds of American soldiers
died. 1t is claimed that more deaths
were caused by yellow fever during
this time than by Spanish bullets.
Mr.. Crumpler resigned the office of
county clerk in order to take the
officers training course at Leon
Springs, Texas, and has fitted himself
in every way possible for military
service.
Recruiting offices will be opened in
Harrison in the near future, and it is
hoped that we may soon have another
company of $50 men ready to offer
their services in defense of their coun-
try.
There are a number of men above
the selectve draft age and a number
of young men below wthe draft age
who will undoubtedly welcome this
opportunity to become members of an
Arkansas National Guard regiment

Better Off Dead"
Wrote German in
Trenches at Ypres
Unposted Letter of Soldier
Tells Terrible Effect of
British Big Gunfire

British Headquarters in France,
June 1O.-Many interesting letters
have been captured in the recent fight
ing. The following is taken from an
unposted letter written by man OF
the 4th German Grenadier Regiment,
in the trenches attacked on Thursday.
"Since April % am in the trenches
near Ypres, where an offensive is now
taking place. The drumhre has shot
everything to little bits; there is al
most nothing more of the trenches to
see. Up to now have escaped with
nv life, but we have had terrible
losses. Half of my company are dead
or wounded. II is terrible life; 1t
will soon be unbearable. He is best off
who gets bullet and need no longer
knock about.
"The Englishman blows everything
to bits he can see. He bombards
everything. He bombards every dis
trict up to fifteen kilometres behind
the front. He has also blown our
kitchen to pieces; so we don't get any
warm food, only dry stuff"
New-York tribune., 1917-06-11
Italians Seize City
In Greece; Athens
To Make Protest
Capture Of Janina Believed
To Be Warning to
King Constantine

London, June 1o.-Italian troops
from Albania have seized the city Of
Janina, in Greek Epirus, according tc
a Reuter- dispatch from Athens, where
the Cabinet has assembled 20 formu-
late a protest
This move by the Italian army is in
terpreted here as political rather than
military. 1t was probably undertaken
with the consent Of the other Allies,
both to consolidate the Italian absorp-
tion of lower Albania, which has been
going on since before Italy's entrance
into the war, and for its effect on the
Greek monarchists. The supporters OF
King Constantine have been given to
understand that their attitude is not
benefting their country. and the occu..
patton of Janina, one OF the fruits OF
the Balkan wars, may be accepted as
tangible evidence that pro-Germanlsm
is expensive to Greece.
Janina is town of about 10000 IN
habitants, thirty miles east OF the
Albanian border and more than one
hundred miles below the battlefront IN
Macedonia. In the last few weeks tne
Italians have been extending thelr.
operations from the Albanian port OF
Valona, taking over several southern
Albanian and Greek towns, thus pro-
tecting one of Sarrai's supply routes
and lessening the danger of Greek
attack from the south.
