CRIPPLED TROOPS ID BE EDUCATED
 AT ARKANSAS J.
Natives of This State Will Be Given Chance to
 Overcome Misfortune.

Fayetteville, Ark, July 19.--A plan suggested by the University of Ark ansas for the education of disabled soldiers, to fit them to teach agri- culture pn high schools, has been approved by the federal board of vo- cational training, according to an- nouncement Of the school authorities and the university will make prepar- ation at onca for training such men as are available. It is believed other universities will adopt the same plan, aimee it offers a practical way of put ting into effect the SmithHughes law for the assistance of vocational education, and at the same time train the injured soldiers for new useful ness.
 The plan which is to be followed by the University of Arkansas was drawn up by P. E. B. Matthew, pro- lessor of vocational education in agri- culture, ?who a few years ago attain ed nation-wid recognition as drec- tor of project farming at the Fort Hays, Kansas, Normal school. Pro- lessor Matthew proposes to watch the casualty lists for names of Arkansas men who were disabled and unable to continue in military duties. In- fOramtiOn as to the education and ex- perience of these men will be Ob- tained from the war department and from the local boards, so that by the time the men are sent home the university will know whether or not they are suited to become teachers of agriculture, High schol education or it's equivalent will be necessary. The men will be given a four-year course at the university.
 Under the federal law soldiers be- ing ratined for new work continue to receive the pay allotted during regu- lar service. By the terms of the Smith -HuglNs act, high schools re- eeiye government aid, if they offer courses in agriculture, manual train ing or domestic science, with the proper equipment an dwith instruc- tors properly trained for the work of teaching the high school students.

GERMANS EASILY SWINDLED.

Amsterday. July 1.--An extra ordinary instance of Teuton.c servility where uniforms are concerned occur red at Essen. A party of three armed Individuals. three in soldiers and one in policeman's uniform. made a round of all the schools of the town. repre- senting themselves to be authorized to collect all the children's satchels. They paid a trifle in each case for the leather straps attached to them, and carried away their booty. After a few days. the whole affair was dis covered to be swindle.
 "HOw it possible that this could have been carried on for days without anyone having the courage to chal- fenge their authority remains one of tie mysteries of this war" says the Rhenish Westphalian GaGzette.

With the American Army in Eng. land, June 8.-American officers ar. irving at rest camps have been re. quested by the officers in command not to purchase meals of any sup

Washington. July 20. The deeds of Indians who have enlisted i'll large numbers in the military services are hardly more inspiring than those of the women and children left behind. This is a pOrtial account of the ans wer made by the people on the reser- vations when the 'Great White Faith CT" in Washington called on the tribes and races inhabiting this land of free dom to rise in its defense.
 Reports received by Cato Sells. com missioner of Indian affairs, from about one-third of the Indian reser- vations, indicate total Red Cross buttons in money amounting to more than $50.000. and further donations of hospital garments and nitted ar ticles. This is not a full measure of the Red Mans generosity. for the reservations do not house many In dians. including the more wealthy. whose charitable activities are list ed with the general population.
 Resorting to methods of the white man to raise money. the Omaha tribe recently held an auction for the Red Cross which netted $2,000, including $500 for prize goat.
 The boys of school in the north west gathered 2.000 pounds of sphag- mum moss for surgical absorbent pads. Some 400 Christmas boxes were reported, which is incomplete, as nearly all of the l20 boarding schools have service flags with stars ranging in number from five to 200. and the pupils of these schools are very mindful of their soldier repre- sentatives. One of the larger schools reported students friendship war fund, with $750 on hand and twelve war savings societies. This school in flour weeks bought 1000 thrift stamps and IA Baby bonds.
 On small reservation far north, where the winters are long and se- were and the Indian must struggle for the necessaries of life. more than one dollar per capita for every adult was paid in cash for the Red Cross and other war relief purposes. In the southwest where the parched desert gives most scant returns and sheep raising is the chief means of sup, port. many of the Indians have each rromised a fleece of wool for the Red Cross and the superintendent plans the experiment of spinning this
