He will have to return all the money he footed in Belgium. He will have to rebuild every house he wantonly destroyed in Belgium and France. He will have to send check for every ounce of wheat and meat that he took from the Ukraine. What he owes now to his stupid peo- ple will be mite to what he will have to pay. The indemnity he assess ed France after 1870 will be trifle to what he will be assessed and fore ed to pay.
 Ant how will he pay it. No Britcn, no American, no French, no Belgian, no Italian, no Jap and No Chinaman will buy anything he has to sell if there is chance to buy it from friends. Wilhelm has bleak future before him. The shades of darkness are falling around him, the clouds are growing blacker. His own people are doubting the wisdom of his ways. He is beset on every side. He is literally Wilhelm the damned About the cas- jest way out of it for Wilhelm is to bump himself off, to put it in slang. That's about all we can promise Will helm, and if he isn't blind he can see it himself.

PREPARE FOR WAR

The provost marshal general is begging men subject to the draft to join the home guards and prepare themselves for the call to the colors. So far there are about 30 Pine Bluff men who have taken advantage of the opportunity. The other several hum dred are putting off until tomorrow that which could be done today. Some of them are fondly hoping and fierce ly fighting all efforts to put them in the army.
 They are fighting a futile fight. They will go to the army sooner or later, and if they would put in as much time training with the home guard as they do scheming to evade service they would be better trained men when they do get into the army and would have better chance for pro- motion.
 But there are many folks whose selfishness blinds them to everything else. !

The women of Pine Bluff and lief ferson county have been foremost in the ranks of war work at home. They were large factors in all Liberty Loan campaigns and they worked hard in the War Savings Stamps campaign. Many of them are knitting and others are sewing for the soldiers, and the Pine Bluff Canteen Service stands at the top of the nations list in serving the soldiers as they pass thru Pine Bluff.
 Women of no other county or city have done mere in their community in those lines of work, but new call for service has come and there has been few responses.
 The nation needs students nurses and Jefferson county has been assign ed quota of 20. Girls with high school educations are preferred. They are needed to replace graduate nur- ses who will go to France or be as signed to military hospitals in the United States.
 So far Jefferson has not supplied even a small part of it's quota. We have not been advised that any wo. man or girl has been accepted for this work, altho several have applied.
 Nursing is real war work and nur- ses are absolutely necessary in the army. No doubt many girls would jump at the chance to go to France at once, but untrained women cannot go. They would be a burden on tht Red Cross and on the medical depart ment of the army. But their services would be just as great if they volun' teer to go into training in hospl tals at home if that would relieve the trained nurse who could go to France
 This is call which nobody but wo men can answer If they do not an swer it many wounded soldier vii die of inattention. Women have, noth ing but contempt for man who seek! to evade service at the front. The! must be careful not to assume th same attitude if they would avoi' being looked upon in the same light
