According to an announcement by
the war trade board a special license
has been issued covering shipments
made by persons in the United States
TO- and for the personal use of, individ-
uals serving in the United States army
or navy or the American Red Cross
abroad.
This license does not permit ship
ments by persons In this country to
American prisoners of war, but has
been issued to facilitate small personal
shipments to soldiers and sailors and
Red Cross workers by doing away
with the necessity of securing an indi
vidual export license in each case.
Shipments by mail under this license
must be made in accordance with the
regulations Of the post office depart
ment. If it becomes necessary later
to limit this license to certain speci-
fed commodities notice will be given
through the press.

The necessity for thorough and con-
tinuous training Of troops in gas de-
Tense is shown by statement proved
by captured German documents
The Germans at certain position
on the western front knew the British
were planning to deliver gas at
tack on German division equipped
with masks, but poorly trained in their
use. In spite of the fact that they
had several days to drill before condi-
lions were suitable for the British at
tack, when 1t was finally made hun
dreds of German casualties resulted.
Many kinds of gases are used in
modern warfare. Some merely affect
the eyes temporarily, and are more
incOnvenient than serious. Other gases
are terrible in their effect unless prop
er protection is available. They are
employed in clouds, or in shells,
bombs, and hand grenades.
1t Is the work of the field training
section of the gas defense service to
bring home to the American soldier
the Importance Of his gas mask, to
thoroughly drill him in its use and
to inspire confidence in it's efficiency.

 Gleanings from the Liberty Bond sale will be large if we are careful not to overlook anybody
 The Huns are coming at us in solid formation, let us beat them with their own tactics.
 A May Day celebration, crowning democracy as queen, will be effective
 The call has come to the women of Arkansas to prepare for another bat tie, to wrest another strategic point from the enemy. The answer on May 1 must be VICTORY.
 All ministers are urged to dwell upon the success of the drive in the pulpits by urging their congregations to purchase stamps.

 Two German airplanes were
 brought down by American machine gunners.
 A Berlin official statement claimed 183 Americans were captured. The statements describes the action lengthily, and admits the fighting was severe. That their effort failed is indicated by the announcement that the attackers returned to their
 own positions under cover of night. The Germans did not resume their
