SOME RECKLESS BROTHERS.
That the Jew-baiting disease,
commonly honored with the title of
anti-Semitisn, would sooner or later
break out in Russia as it has in 9TH
er free countries, as soon as the ex
element of the Revolution subsid-
ed, we predicted some time ago. We
do not mean to boast of Our pro-
found vision and powers of vaticina
ton It was the most natural thing
to expect. The reactionary elements
of the nation remained. It was to
be foreseen that they would sooner
or later stir up trouble, and at any
rate, use the Jews as a scape-goat.
All this has actually come to pass.
All recent reports are to the effect
that Jew-baiting in Russia is on the
increase. Pogroms are planned and
threatened. A new excuse is found
by the reactionaries for their nefari-
Gus propaganda, namely, the pres
ence of some Jews among the Boil
sheviki, the extreme anarchistic
group of the revolutionists They
are blamed for all the unrest, and
all the disorder that still exists in
Russia, and the clamor is that all
Jews should suffer for them.
Should pogroms break out again,
we might hold the Jewish Bolshe-
wiki responsible. in measure. Such
reckless, radical brothers of ours al
ways cause us great deal of trou-
bic. They don't realize, and appar-
emily don't care, that our enemies
and traducers are just looking for
such excuses, to stir up animosity
and ill-fee1ing against us. This ap
plies to some of our radicals and
extremists in this country, too Some
Jewish socialists and others who are
still unreconciled to Americas en-
try into the war, may claim that
they have perfect right to hold and
express their honest convictions,
and that, as promoters Of peace,
they are even more patriotic than
the rest of us. Yet, aside from the
fact that their boosted patriotism is
rank disloyalty just the same, since
they morally weaken our country,
they are doing us Jews untold harm,
for they are putting sword into
the hands of our enemies. Our enc
mics always blame all Jews for the
shortcomings of any one Jew. Our
reckless brothers should take this
to heart

ALLIED POSITIONS IN
 WEST CONSOLIDATED
Active Fighting in the North of France Has Subsided-New Counter Attacks Result in Heavy Casualties.

London, May 22-Fighting in the west again has subsided considerably. The French and British are content ing themselves for the time being with consolidating the ground gained in the past week. The Germans are still hitting back ferociously against the French, without, however, making any impression on the horizon blue lines.
 The French took 1000 prisoners in their advance in the Champagne yes terday. Twenty-eight officers were among these. Considerable losses" were inflicted on the Germans, Paris reports, when the crown prince tried vainly in three separate counter blows to regain his former positions.
 Unofficial figures sent by frontier correspondents and credited to "head- quarters" give the German losses in killed, wounded and missing on the French front alone since Saturday at 15,000. The French now hold the

dominating points cr the Moronvil- Hers heights and are a half mile from the town of that namt. They are making slow but steady headway to- ward forcing a Teuton withdrawal from the whole front between Auber- i've and Rheims.
 British headquarters reported only successful raids northeast of Epehey and east of Bullecourt. The German war office announced the repulse of all French and British assaults and the capture of more than 240 pris- oners on the French front.
 Today's report from the Rome war office indicated slackening of the Italian offensive. It was stated, how ever, that Austrian counter attacks were beaten off with heavy losses.

representatives of Bank AssO- riation and State Officers De- eide Pensions Can Be Paid Without Action Legislature.

Little Rock, May 23.-No extra session of the legislature will be ne- oossarv on account of the failure of tbe legislature to pass the Confeder- ate appropriation bill.
 The auditor will issue the warrants os usual. and the state treasurer will cash them.
 At a conference between Judge T.. q McRae of Prescott, E. c. Cornish and W. L. Hemingway of Little Rock, H. McIlroy of Fayetteville, and Virgil Petite of Jonesboro, represent ;ng the Arkansas Bank Association, and Gov. Brough, Atty. Gen. Ar buckle. State Treasurer R. c. Me Daniel and State Auditor Hogan Oli- yer Tuesday afternoon, it was decid od after a careful review of the de- cisons of the supreme court in the eases of Moore vs. Alexander, 85th Ark. I'll, the State Capitol easel and Edmondson vs. Dickinson (120th Ark. SO), that the auditor is authorized to honor the Confederate pension war rants and the treasurer is authorized to cash them. This opinion was set for them in an able argument by Judge McRae, who gave an exhaus- tive analysis of the questions of law involved in these cases.
 Upon the presentation of this opin- ion it was the unanimous opinion that Mir. Oliver is authorized to issue the warrants and MT. McDaniel to cash them, and both these officials agreed to take this action. Thus what ap- peared at first to be very embar rassing situation was clarified, and the indigent ex-Confederates and their dependents may rest assured that their claims upon the state will be promptly satisfied. The governor expressed himself as greatly relieved over the situation, as he and other state officers had made up their mind that some definite provision must be made at once to protect them, even if an etXra session of the legislature had to be called.
 The amount to be distributed will be about $S0O,OOO annually for the biennial period.
 Somewhat forestalling this action of the State Board, State Auditor Oliver addressed the following letter to all the county clerks of the state:
 l am writing this letter to urgently request that you notify all Confeder- ate pensioners in your county that their annual pension warrants will be sent them this year in September the same as in former years.
 Newspaper reports to the effect
The Prescott daily news., 1917-05-23

that the last legislature failed to make the usual appropriation to pay pensioners will no doubt create an impression in the minds of pensioners that they are to be deprived of their annual warrants, and it is for this reason deemed best to advise them that their warrants will be sent from this office on usual time in September.
 Through oversight the pension ap- propriation measure was not finally passed by the lower house of the 1917 General Assembly, but arrangements will be perfected by the state board of pensions to take care of the situation and provide for Confederate pen sioners as formerly.
 Please convey this information to all pensioners in your county in order that no uneasiness will arise in the mind of any one.
