Are You Missing It?

The following article Is copied from the Reviews of New Rocks; Notable Books on the War. in the Litery Di- gest of Oct. 18th. The story of Gunner Depew IS running as serial in The Dermott News, and those who are not reading it are missing one of the best productions of the day
 A simple, straightforward narrative by typical American sailor boy of his experience. in the Great War by flood and field The young man tells an amazing story of what he heard and saw in two years packed with fighting in various parts of Europe, a. sol dier of the famous Foreign Legion at Dixmude, as gunner on the French battle ship Cassard, at the Dardanelles. in the trenches at Galhpoli. where he won the croix de guerre. on a French transport which was captured by the German raider Moewe, then on the Yarrowdale, and lastly in a German prison camp. where he underwent three months of torture and semi starvation from which he was finally rescued througd the intervention of Ambassa- dor Gerard. His story forms terri ble indictment of German cruelty some of his statements of what he ac tually witnessed would be almost in credible were II not for the mass of corroboratlve evidence at hand He started out with the impression that the Germans were clean fighters, gathered from his acquaintance with sailors of the Imperial Navy while serving as a gunner on United States battle ship but he soon found cause to revise this opinion Hi. book should be read by all who have any lingering doubts as to the feroeity of the Boche as well as by every lover of hardy ad venture and good red bloode1 fighting under most thrilling conditions

U. 5. Stands for Uncon.

Dermott and Chicot county have again gone lover the top. having subscribed and over subscribed the quotas assigned in the 4th Liberty Loan. Dermott's quota was S63, 333, and our subscription totaled $65, 250, the subscribers numbering 36S. Mir. Bennett local sales director, reports S25, GOO worth of bonds sold here Fri day.
 Chicot county's quota was $l90, 00o. which was over subscribed by $35, O00. making total of $2I5. GOO
 Which goes to prove that Dermott and Chicot county, along with the rest of Arkansas and the United States. are backing the boys in the trenches. and are in the war to win.
 The over subscription of the Fourth Liberty Loan Is the most forceful method of advising the Kaiser that U s. not only stands for United States and Uncle Sam. but also stands for UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER

From Hamp Williams

The following letter received the first of the week was very deeply appreciat- ed by the editor of the News. While like practically all other newspaper in the state We have done our best with no thought of public appreciation and with the lack of it often forced up on our attention, we can but appreciate the splendid commendation accorded the newspapers of the state by MT. Williams

 Oct. 2l. 1918. Editor News
 Since my induction into the office of Food Administrator for Arkansas, 1t has been my duty to advertise the rules of the Food Administration in every State. The government did not fur nish me with any funds for this purpose; therefore, it had to be done through the generosity and patriotism of the newspapers.
 The space and position that Arkansas papers have given the Food Adminis- tration could not have been purchased Very often this news appeared on the first page Again 1t constituted. in some of the papers. editorial copy. If this space had been charged for in the regular way 1t would aggregate fab ulous sum.
 Not only have the newspapers been generous with the Food Adminstra- ton. but they have also given over their columns to all other war activi- ties. Without the aid of the news papers. the Liberty Loan, Red Cross ' Nj (. A. and other big war projects would have been a failure. The sue. cess of the selective draft law can be directly attributed to the press
 You men who have done SO much and received SO little should be remembered by the business interests of your com munity Every business man should advertise Tn his home paper as never before They owe the most loyal sup port they can give not only to you in for what you are doing.

Many so-cslled cough cures Offered

There is great danger in using cough

Toxic, Jan. l7.-,Iapanese warships

The action follows long.continued APP

The city for weeks.
Congestion on the Trans. Siberian rail
road and general decentralization of trans
portation incident to the internal diff
cultes in Russia are reported to have
resulted in unprecedented tying-up OF
supplies at Vladivostok.
The Bolsheviki have been making des-
perate efforts to commander this ma
terial, much of which had been ordered
by the old monarchist regime.
A member of the naval staff yesterday
declared that communication with Nladi-
vostok had been almost cut off and that
protection of the city was one OF Japan's
responsibilities, to be carried out while
the allies were fighting in Europe.
Officials emphasized yesterday that for
the present no troops would be moved
to the Russian seaport.

REAL WHEATLESS DAYS.
Are Proposed in Legislation Now Being
Prepared.

Washington. ID. C.. Jan. I6.--Stricter
economy of food is TO be required of the

making yesterday in Congress
Food Administrator Hoover has APP
proved them and they are expected to
pass promptly as supplemented to the
present food control act

er economies necessary that America
may help sustain her co-belligerents
would become mandatory by law instead
of voluntarily as at present. Such new
laws the food administrator holds are
necessary to protect the millions of loyal
Americans cooperating in food saving
against the wastefulness of few indi-
viduals and of public eating houses which
are said to handle probably fifty per cent
OF the food supply.
In the Senate, the administration bill
was introduced by Senator Pomerene.
In the House it was introduced by Chair
man Lever of the agricultural commit
lee.
The bill was referred to committees in
both Houses. 1t provides that whenever
the president shall find that it is essen
tial to limit further unrestricted use,
manufacture, sale or distribution of
food and foodstuffs he may by permits
sion modify, limit or discontinue their
use TO the extent necessary to assure
an adequate supply. The president would
be authorized to issue rules and regula
tions, which might vary from time to
time to meet changing conditions, and
in carrying out the proposed law may
utilize any department, agency or off |
cers of the government.
Any person who failed or refused to
modify, limit or discontinue the sale,
Use, manufacture or distribution of such |
articles, would be guilty of a misde-
neanor. and punishable by maximum
$1,000 fine, six years imprisonment, or

CUTE SMUGGLING TRICKS.
German Women Wear Mantle Into Hol'

The Hague, Netherlands, Jan. IL
Endless are the tricks of the smuggler
Prior TO the advent of cold weather
Germans had been discovered crossing
the frontier into Holland wearing no
underclothing and women wearing only
mantle They We're on their way to
supplement this rather scanty retirement
AT some Netherlands store near the Dor
der, thence to return homeward clad in
genuine wooden or cotton underclothes
instead of the substitute materials
wherewith Germany is in these days ar
raging itself. To counter this method
OF procedure, the customs authorities
have adopted the equally novel method
of stamping the underclothes of all
persons who regularly or frequently
cross the frontier. II such travellers are
subsequently found wearing unstamped
clothes, these are treated as smuggled
goods.
