Kaiser Bill Loves Spain
 He States
However, He Said the Same Thing About Belgium a
 Few Years Ago.

(By Newspaper Enterprise Ass'n.) -
 Berne, Switzerland, Sept. 21.-Here is sample of the German propagan- da pamphlets in the Spanish language which are now being circulated throughout Spain.
 Away wonder in Berlin there lives powerful friend, who never ceases regarding Spain with an infinite ten derness and love; that love is as con- stant as his hatred of his own and of Spain's enemies, England and France, is implacable.
 ''This grand seigneur, omnipotent Wilhelm II, is pursuing objects in |this war which are entirely in the in- terests of the highest good of all hu- manity. Moreover, according to the assurances of all who have had the signal honor of approaching him, he ardently aspires to the early restora- tion of Gibraltar and Tangier to Spain.
 It is possible that Spaniards can remain indifferent to such altruism, to such nobility of aims? Spaniards should no longer hesitate. They ought to march to the assault on Gibraltar, while Raisulis penetrate into the French zone in Morocco.
 "1f Spaniards fail to take advantage of the present moment to recapture the Rock of Gibraltar the world will say that they are a people without backbone and without shame"

CLAIMS FOR EXEMPTION.

Much discussion pro and con for exemption on agricultural and indus trial grounds has been indulged in for the past two weeks by farmers and heads of large industrial plants in Pine Bluff and Jefferson county. Some misunderstanding of the draft rules and regulations has created more or less differences of opinion between tho draft boards and the employers of labor who have been in- cluded in the essential indus. tries.
 However, these matters have been satisfactorily and amicably 'ironed out.' It has been shown that, every person who is subject to exemption or deferred classification will secure this deferrment automatically thru the filling out of his questionnaire. It is not up to the boards to pass upon the matter of deferred clasifi- cation. but the questionn;. ire with the proper affidavits makes the clas- sification automatic.
 However, it is highly essential thst all employers and employees who know that deferred classification should be made should be careful ill the filling out of the questionnaire with the supporting affidavits. This is where the entire matter hinges and careful work of filling out the questionnaire is the entire question in nutshell"
 The new draft rules and regulations should not be confused with the ones regulating the former drafting. All class one men in former drafts have been exhausted. This draft is now 8 thing of the past. The ledger has been closed Men from Is to 21 and 31 to 4o are now on the new draft ledgers.

Every Yank Has a BOche
 Souvenir
Trophies Are Dug From Per. sonal Injuries Received

(By Newspaper Enterprise Assn.

(By Newspaper Enterprise Ass'n.)
 Paris, Sept. 25.-Every Yank who has been in action has at least one souvenir 0 fthe Hun hunt-helmet, pistol, cartridge belt, field glass or la yonet.
 The prized souvenir, though, is the piece of shrapnel of shell taken from a doughboy's own wound. Every time "a surgeon salvages a piece of boche steel from a soldiers anatomy the lat ter's first word on coming out of the anaesthesia is for possession of the trophy.
 "Then he gets one of us to write home about his experiences" said a nurse at base hospital.
 And tell lem if they don't believe it, he dictates, that I've got proof to show 'em-a shunk of boche steel dug dug right out of my wishbone! Look, ain't it peach! The doc said it was the worst he'd ever seen. It was this way

honest on the face of it, this excess profit tax hits the small company and often lets the other go scot free of taxes.

Saturday and Sunday until it not only hurts, but pinches.
 A volunteer badge will be the en- blem showing that this or that indi- vidual volunteered subscriptions. Placards in business houses and on automobiles will show "who is who."
 However, the person who hopes by volunteering measly $50 bend, when he or she could afford $500 bond should not be given any credit and won't be. But the person who buys a $50 bond who can scarcely afford a five cent cigar will be regarded as the greatest of patriotic citizens.
 The following places in Pine Bluff are volunteer headquarters and will record the exact pulse of patriotism exhibited by the citizens of Pine Bluff and Jefferson county: All banks, the postoffice, courthouse, Cotton Belt shops, and on Sunday morning committees will be at every church in Pine Bluff to accept volunteer subscriptions.
 Many cities will be lover" the Li- berty Loan quotas for their city and counties on volunteer days, Satur- day and Sunday. Why not Pine Bluff and Jefferson county? Let's do it all at once and have the. satisfaction of not only knowing it is over but that it was done in splendid, surge of patriotism.

YON HINDENBURG'S FEARS.
w.. s. s.

Von Hindenburg has told the Ger man people not to fear the Tanks.
 The admonition. no doubht, is bas- ed upon his own belated conviction that the Tanks ARE foes t.; be fear- ed.
 They. are now substantiating Hindy's realization and belief.
 But Von Hindenburg really doesn't fear the Yanks-he fears the PER SONAL consequences of allied vic- tory, which the Americans have made g certainty.
 He fears retribution. He fears the AWAKENED German people. He fears the might of America and the RIGHT of her cause.
 He is a typical HUN bully, of which the gorilla is the prototype. A glowing, towering monster is Won Hindenburg-when his gang is with him and his victim at disadvantage.
 Won Hindenburg has brain-power, but his main power--the confidence of his countrymen-it wanting. Hes slipping-and knows it, and dreaus that day when all HUN land will know it.
 It is time for the Prussian war lords to start planning and prepar- ing alibis and explanations.
 Some of them should select their asbestos shrouds now and abandon any notions of mane1verins for elem ency.

VOLUNTEER DAYS.

Saturday and Sunday the first two days of the Fourth Liberty Loan campaign in Pine Bluff, Jefferson county and the United States, have been designated as volunteer days" In other words, no one will be solici- ted for subscriptions on these days but every patriot in the United States will be given an opportunity of dem- onstrating their patriotism.
 It has long been a matter of pride to the citizens of the United States that they need not be coerced in mat ters, but that by a free will offering of own accord they come under the wire" with colors flying. This op. portunity is now afforded every loyal and patriotic citizen in Jefferson county next Saturday and Sunday.
 What percentage of Jefferson county people are :cd-blooded Am ericans? Who are they that can be counted upon to stand by the coun- try 5 lag to the end!
 By their deeds next Saturday and Sunday in volunteering subscriptions they will be known.
 The American public is a peculiar folk. It insists that more can be accomplished thru giving them their own sway and voltion in matters than by urging, cOercing or persua- sion. This is one reason why the first two days of tho nex; Liberty Loan has been made volunteer days What the result will be in Jefferson county and Pine Bluff is matter of interest and pride to the patriotic citizens. IL is possible that the quota of Jefferson county, nearly two million dollars, will be raised.
 Why not? If this feat was ac- complished the name of Pine Bluff and of her loyalty and patriotism would be heraldcd to every city. town village and hamlet in the United States. Even to the boys in France. England, and to the city of Berlin It is not only possible, but should be made probabl
 Everyone should not make it easy'' in filling out the pledge cards Give until it hurts. Give more than one feels like they can afford. If one has intended taking a $100 bond, sua a. scribe for a $2OO bond
 Think of the sacrifices heinz made by Jefferson county and Pine Bluff boys lover there" It is up to the people of this section to make a sacrifice. Give to this Loan next
