"'There has never been Q similar
body of men to lead as clean lives as

idea than to perform these duties in
the most efficient manner possible.
They fully realize their obligation to
their own people, their friends and
the country.
"'A rigid program Of instruction is
carried out daily with traditional
American enthusiasm. Engaged in
healthy, interesting exercises In the
open air, with ample diets, officers
and men, like trained athletes. are
ready for their task. Forbidden the
use of strong drink and protected by
stringent regulations against sexual
evils, and supported by their own
moral courage, their good behavior
Is the subject Of most favorable COM
ment, especially by our allies.
american mothers may rest as
sured that their sons are credit to
them and to the nation, and they may
well look forward to the proud day
when on the battlefield these splendid
men will shed new luster on Amer1-
can manhood"

A Tribute of Love
MY FATHER: H. A. LONDON

MY FATHER: H. A. LONDON
For the many kind expressions
from friends and acquaintance
over the death of my father,
Henry Armand London, on Sum
day last, | am deeply grateful.
He was a father and friend COM
bined. and lived very close in the
lives of his children.
He had been i'll but a few days,
being confined to his room, the
Sunday previous to his death,
with cold. The next day, court
week, he transacted legal bnsi-
!, ness from his room, but his cold
did not improve and Wednesday
it developed into pneumonia. His
large family of seven children
were wired for, and they all
were at his bedside when the end
came shortly before the dawn of
the white Sabbath day. He was
perfectly conscious until a few
minutes before the Summons
came and his end was as peace.
full as that of a babes. typical of
the temperate, pure life ct the
man. He gently tel on sleep.
He was horn March 1st, 1916,
with a snow storm raging with
out, and as his spirit left his
brave body Sunday morning
another snow storm of equal fury
was raging. He came with the
snow, and with the snow depart
ed. And just before the end,
possibly minute or maybe two,
alittle snow-bird futtered through
the open window, attracted by
the warmth within, and circling
around rested on a door ajar; and
after the end did come, the little
bird too dropped and died, thus
following a friend to that land
from whose bourne no traveller
returns.
My father was a methodical
man, true and just in all his deal
ings and a friend without guile.
Promptness was a cardinal virtue
with him. Small of statue and
frail of body, yet he possessed
the soul of a giant and the mind
of a master. Gentle in inter
course, he had the eloquence of
aClay and many thousands have
been charmed and captivated by
this silver-tongued product of
dear old Chatham county.
George Mcdonald has said that
age is not decay; it is the ripen.
ing, the swelling, of the fresh
life within, that withers and
bursts the husk. And his rich
experience and vast store OF
knowledge made his life espe.
ciafly valuable to his family, his
county and his state. We count
{ it death to falter, not to die; he
feared not death, tho enjoying
life to the fullest.
Gods finger touched him, and

 Both Nations.

Washington, June 24.-Treaties be- tween the United States and Great Britain for reciprocal operation of ar my draft laws to their citizens includ- ing the natives, were ratified today by the senate without dissenting vote.
 British subjects in the United States between 20 and A, British draft ages, and American in the British empire between 21 and would be subject to draft under the treaties but would be given option of returning to their own countries for service under their own flags.

ARKANSAS GUARD REGIMENTS NOW
 ON WAR FRONT
Men of Three Regiments in France for Use as Re-
 placement Troops

Little Rock, June 24.-All the en- listed men of. the old First, Second and Third Arkansas regiments, are been taken to fill other units. The officers and ndn- commis of- ficers are left at Camp Beauregard for the purpose of training a new division of troops.
 A total of 2500 men was moved from Camp Beauregard in command of Maj. H. w '. McAllister, former dean of Ouachita college at Ark adelphia. The detachment was de. livered in France with the record of not one man being absent without leave.
 The identity of the old Arkansas units, as separate organizations, Is therefore entirely lost, and the men will be placed where needed to fill up gaps in other units. Most of them have had months of training at Camp Pike and later at Camp Beauregard, and many were on the border during the Mexican trouble.
