USE FOR ALL PRISONERS
Results Of Labor to Be Far
reaching With the Ex-
penses Light.

Should the great war in Europe
last for years and should America
be compelled TO house and feed
thousands upon thousands OF Ger
man and Austrian war prisoners, the.
uso OF these enforced visitors to
America in road construction would
prove step In the right direction,
in the opinion OF Robert 8. Stewart,
vica- president of the United States
Motor Truck company of Cincin-
natl, who can see only good from
such step.
The report that the inter-allled
war council not only contemplates
sending 10 America the prisoners
taken by the American expeditionary
forces, but also by the European
forces as well, was good news to
Mr. Stewart, In connection with the
war-building program.
mo matter how many OF these
prisoners are sent over we can use
them in America In the construction
OF roads" said Mr.. Stewart, "and In
doing that sort Of work they Will
be aiding to win the war. America
must have roads TO stand the strain
Of truck driving and heavy haulage
throughout America Roads were
never constructed for thN sort Of
work, with a few' exceptions where
concrete highways have been con-

can be made to do the labor In
splendid shape ships returning

war prisoners TO our shores, and
their work upon the roads will be
cheap. covering only their living
and slight payment monthly for
their minor expenses while the re-

for the present needs but a1so fov

There is objection now to wartime
road building, which objection is
based upon the emplo.ment of labor
which is required for shipbuildlng
and for other great necessities. The
prisoners viii be available not only
for the building Of the roads, but
for the getting out Of material nee

Rats Costly Eaters.

Experts have estimated that one
rat will consume 40 to so pounds Of
food in a year. 1t has also been
figured that 1t requires the continue
GUS work Of about 10000 men with
farms, agricultural implements, and
other equipments to supply the food
stuffs destroyed annually by rats In
the United states. In addition, rats
destroy other property. mainly Of ag-
riculturai origin, the production q
which requires the work Of about
$4,000 men. This gives total Of
100000 men whose economic out
put is devoted solely to feeding and
otherwise providing for rats.

LARK TO THE SPLASH.

Patriotic citizens are not going to waste money and risk health by shoot ing off fireworks on the coming Fourth of July. The safe and sane idea that had made such good start before the war is recognized this year as the only patriotic idea that can dominate our Independence Day cele- brations.
 But a noise is going to be made on that date that will tell the kaiser more of our determination to put him out of business than any amount of fire crackers ever could. That noise will be the great splash made when a lot of ships scheduled to hit the water about July 4th are launched. In shipyards on the Pacific Coast sixteen vessels of the new merchant marine will slide down the ways. The Atlantic Coast, Gulf and Great Lake shipyards will be the scenes of nu- merous other launchings on that date.
 Could better way of celebrating the Glorious Fourth be conceived?

PINE BLUFFS ATTITUDE TO
 WARD HEALTH.

Pine Bluff raises thousands for re- lief elsewhere-and it is right it should do so. It is rather negligent however, of conditions at home. With many of our people sick, we postpone action toward systematic collection and disposal of garbage, and eradi- cation of the fly and mosquito Filth, flies and mosquitoes form a combination that science finds diffi- cult to overcome when the people are apathetic.
 The city council is considering en- actmerit of an ordinance providing for the collection and disposal of garbage. It is to be hoped that action will not be deferred much longer. This ought to be followed by steps to put the fly and mosquito out of business. The council cannot defray the expense, be- cause it hasn't the money. But we ought to be able to raise money to save our own lives.

Despite all the assurance of the kaiser and his bunch of accomplices in crime, all the promises and all the misrepresentations the Teuton soldiers seem to be losing heart.
