THE ARKANSAS SPIRIT.
(BVAClio Harper.)

''Tks.AskansassS ssSpirit" has been de- veloped. It lA the outgrowth of the war. It is a spirit of unselfishness and sacrifice for a common cause in which the civilization of the world is vitally concerned.
 Aside from the millions of money in which it has found an avenue of expression, it is found primarily in the. expenditure of our man-power. It is estimated that we now have 79,0OO of the men and boys of Arkansas act ually under arms, and when the men of the new draft are inducted into service, as they may be called, prob ably sometime in October, there will be more than 100000 of them. And they are doing with spirit of patrio- tic devotion that presages i'll for the Kaiser and his hordes of barbarians. There are several thousand of them already on the fighting front, and the names of Arkansas soldiers ap- bearing in the daily casualty list in- dicate that they are in the thick of things. Others are in training camps in America and in England.
 Not only are the Arkansas people giving extensively of their men, the heart blood of our people laid upon the alter of human liberty, the best of our manhood offered freely for world democracy, but millions in mon- ey is being given for war activities, or invested in Government securities, and every demand that is made will lingly.
 We conserve food and fuel-who has not done so during the last two years? We deny ourselves many things that are needed by the Govern ment, and often we find that We got along just as we'll or better. There is not war activity of any kind sanct- toned by the proper authorities, that does not meet with the generous re- sponse of a people who have only be- gun to learn the art of giving.
 It is easier today to secure con- tribution of million dollars in Ark ansas than it would have been five years ago to secure an investment od S1OO.OOO in a gilt-edged industrial project.
 The hearts of the people of Arkan' sas have been opened as never before to the needs of the world. The cry o1 humanity has been heard. The citi. zenship of Arkansas is closer bound than ever before into band of broth CTS devoted to common cause. Class distinctions were never strongly def ined in Arkansas, as in the older states but they have been almost whol ly obliterated. The war has demon strated truth enunciated long agt by the peasant post of Scotland, tha' "A mans man for "that.'
 The war has proven to be grea' leveler. War-taxes and war demands of all kinds bear with prop9Ftionat' weight npon the poor and the rich the humble and the exalted.

STUDENTS OF HIGH SCHOOL
 SHOW TALENT AS ACTORS

That the dramatic talent of the Prescott High School is not on the wane is evidenced by their successful rendition of "A Rose O Plymouth Town" on the evening of March 29th. under the able direction of Miss Nell Rose Bush, and spoke eloquently as well of her energy and good taste. And that their efforts are duly appre- ciated is also evidenced by the large number who witnessed the perform ance and their expressions of the pleasure it gave them. More than one Of the actors displayed talent of an exceptional order-as a matter of fact to say that one at least of the actors possesses rare natural histrionic abil- ity is to put it mildly. More than sixty dollars was the satisfactory financial result of the play which will go to school improvement. It is to be hoped that Prescott will soon be fav- ored by another of these efforts at an early date.

French Launch Successful At.

of Rheims.
RETIRING IN DISORDER
Along Front Of More Than Fifty MiIss
In Champagne the Enemy Has
Met With Series Of So
rious Reverses.

London, Oct S--General Berthelot's
French troops has struck q successful
blow against the Germans northwest
OF Rheims which adds materially to
the menace which Is hanging over the
enemy front from the Swiss border to
the North sea.
This was the capture Of Berry-au.

about 10h miles northwest OF Rheims
and only q scant five miles from the
eastern end Of the famous Chemin dos
Danes ridge at Craonne.
Near Pocketine Laon.
A further advance northward across
the railroad not only will put the great
stronghold Of Laon in q pocket but
also will outfiank Neufchatel, another
enemy stronghold on the Western
front.
While further good gains have been
made by the British east Of Arras,
where the operations have in view the
capture OF the highly important town
OF Douai and other advances have been
recorded between Cambria and St.
Quentin, chief interest for the present
centers in the fighting in Champagne
and between the Argonne forest and
the Meuse. where the French and
Americans are driving the enemy
steadily northward. despite great re.
sistance on positions Of high strategic
value.
EnAuau RA<eA~A> To- n,s>.L>.
All along the front from Rheims to
the Meuse. a distance OF more than so
miles, the enemy everywhere has met
with serious ieverses and is falling
back at some places In disorder under
the heavy pressure that Ia being i'm.
posed against him. Where the enemy
Is trying to resist. the French and
Americans are meeting their counter
thrusts with splendid stamina and
gradually forcing them to give ground
step by step.
East Of the Argonne forest. between
that great wooded bastion and the
Mouse, the Americans have further ad,
vanced their line notwithstanding the
fact that the enemy has thrown in
large reinforcements to hinder the
blotting out OF the forest and the form.

valley between the Americans and the
French troops on its western side.

President Is Comforting With
Premiers of Allied Nations
on Peace Reply.
EXCHANGES GOING ON
Germany and Austria Are to Be In
formed That Terms Already
Laid Down Must Be Ac-
cepted by Them.

Washington, Oct. 8.-President VIII
son is exchanging views with the pre-
miers of the Allied nations over the
form Of answer to be made to Ger
many's latest peace proposals. The
indications are that 1t will not be sent
for day or two.
While there may be some question
as to the form of the reply. there is
no question whatever as to its nature.
1t may not use the short and forceful
term unconditional surrender" which
would reflect the sentiment which has
come from the spokesman of the ma
ton. but it is sure to convey to the
German government very clearly that
nothing less than the terms already
laid down can be accepted and that
those terms cannot be made merely
the basis of negotiations" AS to an
armistice. such step would be looked
upon as suicidal and not to be thought
of.
No Curt Reply Planned.
BY this time Prince Maximilian's
note and that of Baron Burian. the
foreign minister, in
official form are undoubtedly In the
foreign Offices in London, Paris and
Rome, forwarded by President Wilson,
as requested by the Teutonic powers.
The exchanges now going on have a
two-fold purpose:
Obviously the American government
would not proceed to speak for the
other belligerents on a matter of such
Importance without consultation
among them, and 1t is purposed to
avoid the mistake of making a curt
and peremptory rejection which could
be used by the Teutonic powers be-
fore their own people to bolster up the
argument that they are waging de
fensive" war and that the objects of
the co-belligerents are to destroy
them"
Wilson's Probable Course.
Lacking official announcements of
what the President has done, 1t is
highly probable that he has taken one
Of these two courses:
Either he has asked Premiers Lloyd
George, Clemenceau and Orlando to
advise him of their replies or, more
likely still, the President has formu.
lated reply and asked the premiers
tor their acquiescence.
The temper of debate in the Senate
and the general tone. of public opinion
In the United States as expressed in
newspaper comment are fair index
of the governments view. The con.
census in the Senate debate was that
the offer should be rejected; the prac.
tically unanimous public opinion as
reflected in newspapers all over the
country was that no peace terms short
Of unconditional surrender could be
discussed.
Reply to Make History.
II is clear the reply will be not only
an answer to Germany and her allies,
but statement for the historical rec
ord of the world 1t is realized on
every hand that rejection of a peace
offer must be a convincing one, and
one which will justify the prolonging
Of the war to the ends sought
