TREAT FEM ROUGH" THE CRY,
Americans Say They Give the Ger
 mans What They Ask For.

London, Aug. 9.---Colonel Rosevelt's advice of not to hit soft is hardly needed by the American troops be- tween Soissons and Rheims, says Reu- ter's correspondent on the American front. There has been no soft hitting on the part of the Americans, nor any inclination in that direction.
 t'The Germans asked for q rough war, and by heavens we are going te see that they get it,v is the remark of one American reported by the corre- spondent who says the Germans who fought in the Marne salient doubt lessly realize that fact.
 eff, however" the correspondent continues, German officers, instead of telling their men lies about 'Ameri- can barbarians,' would refrain from acts which produce white heat of American hostility it would be more to their advantage. The vast bulk of American soldiers are home men. Gentle and kindly things recalling their own homes in the West appeal Co them as nothing else does, and the awfui ruins of the French homes, past which they have been marching mile upon mile and hour after hour, has seemed more distressing to many of them than their own losses.
 "They accepted the ruin as inevit- able however, giving the Germans the benefit of the doubt, but when in clearing up these ruins they come upon indispuiable evidence of Teuton- ic savagery it has a very different ef- feet An American showed me a doll house which had been stamped flat under a German boot, with the holls laid around 1t. each with it's face ground into the floor by a nailed Ger man heel
 "There were much more horrible things in the house-things beyond deseription--but the American right ly picked that out as the most charac- teristic and most dastardly With a look on his face that would have warned any opponent to keep his dis tance, the American said:
 "'The next damned German that tries 10 murder me had better make sure that he makes no mistake about it"

Germany Is Gloomy.

Twenty-three leaders of the revolt are reported arrested and sentenced to death.
 Behind the movement, the accounts state, are revolutionary sailors who have been conducting propaganda to stop submarine warfare because of increased dangers.
 The recent resignation of Admiral von Holtzendorff, as chief of the naval staff, is declared to have been connected with the scandal. Emperor William, it is added, has abandoned an intended visit to Wilhelmshaven because of the ferment there.

Asks That All Will Become Sales Agents for War Savings Stamps R. Golf, Chairman for
 Polk County.

The government has asked Arkan- sas for five thousand, nine hundred and twenty-two merchants, who will become their authorized agencies for the sale of United States Thrift Stamps and War Stamps.
 Mir. Moorhead Wright, the State Director has turned this most important work over to the travelling men, who are represented by com mittee of which II. s. spivey is chair man, and c. H. Wickardis secretary. They have appointed a chairman for each county in the state, R. Golf act ing in tbis capacity in Polk county, and he in turn bas appointed several men 10 assist him. These are all trav- cling men who make all points in their county. and their work consist in soliciting merchants to become au- lhorized agencies of the Treasury De partment, who agree to at all times keep a stock of stamps on hand, and push sheir sale
 The Treasury Department keeps a record of all agencies established, and issue to each a certificate, showing he is their authorized agent.
 Cur country at this time is expect ing all her loyal citizens to cooperate with her in every way possible, and this is the aid the merchants can, and are expected to give, as loyal merch- ants, they should have on display their Certificates, and feel a just pride in it's possession, know ing that while our great and grand army is serving on the fields of France, the farmers are growing food stuffs and the intuition workers are furnishing things needed on the bat tie field, they are selling Americas securities, thereby supplying the money, without which nothing could be done
 | During the last few weeks, over twenty-six hundred merchants have become Treasury Agents, and are do- ing great work.
 These selling agencies should not f Dt COH1QoGO Nitu NoiCNSAOh oBtAhNAOo designated on the pledge card. The selling agency should use all his best efforts to induce those who have signed pledge cards to increase the amount they are pledged to buy and to sell to all those who have not pledged to buy.
 All people on entering store should look for the authorization cer- tifcate. Let 1t act as the merchants badge of loyalty to America.
