s.. 46 WHEAT URGED
BY GROWERS BODY

That a minimum price OF S2.46 n
bushel for No. 1 Northern spring
wheat, OF its equivalent, based on Chi
cago delivery, be fixed for the 1919
crop, was urged upon President Will
son today by the National Wheat
Growers Association.
The association cites that produce
ton must be encouraged to meet all
emergencies and build up a reserve
for future, needs. It also urges that
it is mot sound business policy to
base expectations for the 1919 on the
1918 yield" and that the increase in
the cost of production OF wheat in
1919 over 1915. necessitates an ad-
vance in price to $2.f6.

ARK ANSAS SOLDIERS ON
THE NEW CONSTITUTION

Little Rock, Dec 5.-B E. Nc
Clerkey, a private at Camp Pike, an
Arkansas boy, says that he wants to
see Arkansas grow and prosper, and
that therefore he is in favor of the
proposed new constitution. He says:
"There are so many marked improve
ments in the new constitution over the
old that | sincerely hope it will be
overwhelmingly ratified. l believe all
the soldier boys will be glad to extend
the right of suffrage to the good wo-
men as a token of appreciation of
their valuable assistance during this
world war The proposed constitu-
tion is purely democratic, for it eX-
tends equal suffrage to the good wo-
men and takes it away from enemy
aliens. If for no other reasons the
proposed constitution should be over
whelmingly ratified by the patriotic
voters of this state"

INFL LUENZA ON INCREASE
AT SEVERAL PLACES

Little Rock, Dec 6.-There is a con-
siderable increase in the influenza re-
ported from various sections of the
state. In some places where it was
light during the first epidemic it has
taken on more virulent form.
Schools at Des Arc, Camden, New
port, Rogers, and Pine Bluff are
closed. 1t has not become threaten
ing in Little Rock this time, but it is
being watched very closely. There
have been several cases of meningitis
in Little Rock, principally among the
laborers at Picron, and several deaths,
but the cases are under strict quaran-
tine and there is little danger of the
disease spreading. The Porto Rican
laborers are returning home, as it is
found that they are not adaptable to
this climate. The disease has been
most severe among them.

"After study of the entire situa-

groes of Arkansas have organized a
company for the publication of book,
Helping Themselves, which is being

a dependent, sit up and take notice.
Only the negroes of Arkansas who
have made a success in business or
professional way will be mentioned
in the book, and to guard against any
who might have accumulated consid-
cradle in questionable ways of getting
into the book, a committee has been
appointed to investigate each case.
The book will be off the press about

On Board the u. s s George Wash
ington, Dec. s, 10 p. m.-President
Wilson today faced the test that the
American troops have been undergo
ing on their way to France. The
American executive was forced has
tily to don life preserver and pre-
pare to abandon a ship which theoreti-
cally had been attacked by a sub
marine
This afternoon the alarm bell and
the "buzzer" in the presidents apart
ment gave the signal to prepare to
take to the boats.
Previously having been instructed
by Captain McCauley, President Will
son left his office and called Mrs.
Wilson and led her to life boat.
The president assisted Mrs. Wilson in
adjusting her life preserver and then
they stood in line waiting.
Meantime all the ships company
was doing the same as the president.
The drill was perfectly conducted
and the people on board the George
Washington could have abandoned
ship in ten minutes.
There was steadily roughening
sea today and the conveying destroy
ers looked like big submarines awash.
The heavy swells at some times made
things uncomfortable for those not
used to the sea but President Wilson
seemingly was enjoying the trip.

Washington, Dee. 5.-The navy de-
partment announced tonight that it
has been in continuous communication
by radio with the steamer George
Washington since it left New York
yesterday with President Wilson and
his party on board. No information
was given, however, as to the kind of
weather the vessel and her conveying
feet had encountered or their position.
At the White House tonight it was
said that no communications from the
president had been received but it was
explained that the president had left
his desk clear and that no matters of
Importance requiring his attention
had developed since be left Washing
ton.
The navy departments announce
ment disclosed that special arrange
ments, never before used, were made
for handling the presidents messages
and to insure his being in constant
touch with Washington.

divisions of strength of 1850 900


men.
"On July is, 1918, | submitted to
you a formal memorandum, accom-
panied by suggestion of methods by
which the men could be obtained. the
supplies procured, and an analysis of
the shipping which must be obtained
IN order to accomplish this very large
military program. This was accom-
panied by an estimate of the cost of
the proposed program.
I'm this study l recommended to
you the adoption as the American pro-
gram of eighty divisions in France
and eighteen at home by June 80, 1919
based on total strength of the
American army of 4,85O,OOO men.
This was approved by you and the
president of the United States and
adopted as our formal military pro-
gram. To carry this program into
effect required the adoption by con-
gress of change in the draft ages so
as to include men between the ages
of 18 and 45 years and also created a
deficiency over the enormous appro-
priations already made by congress of
some $7,000,OOO,0OO. The presentation
of the program to congress, accom-
panied by a statement that this in
crease in the army, if laws were
passed by congress which would make
it effective, would lead to success in
1919, produced prompt and favorable
consideration by that body.
"Up to the signing of the armis-
tice troops were being transported to
France monthly in accordance with
that program. The results speak for
themselves"

FOR MEN FOUND
GUILTY OF WAR
All Those Who Perpetrated Afro

treme Penalty-Dritish Don't
Believe Alibi.;.

London, Dec. 5.-Sir Auckland
Geddes, president of the local govern
ment board of ministers of national
service, in public address, said that
the line of policy advocated by the
coalition government was a peace
which, so far as the enemy powers
were concerned, should be based on
stern justice and so far as those men
who planned and started the war
were concerned, should be founded on
justice of the nature meted out in the
highest courts of the land. Such men
as the former German emperor; En-
yer Pasha and the former rulers of
Bulgaria and Austria would be placed
on trial, and if found guilty, their
lives would be forfeit.
"Men guilty of unspeakable atroci-
ties upon our prisoners and upon the
civilian inhabitants of the invaded
lands" he continued, "must stand
trial, and if they are condemned, must
suffer death.
To-day is the day of reckoning for
our enemies" said the minister, land
they will have to pay to the uttermost
farthing, what it is possible to bring
out of them"

London, Dec. 5-The abject attempt
of the former emperor and the former
crown prince, of Rupprecht of Bava-
ria, of Won Bethmann- Hollweg and
other prominent war makers of Ger
many to prove their innocence and to
attribute the present ruin to the ac-
ton of everyone but themselves, is
noted with contempt by the English
papers. The Daily Mail says:
unfortunately for the ex-crown
prince, his reputation for veracity
does not stand very high; it is even
lower than that of his father, who
broke his solemn pledge to respect the
neutrality of Belgium. Whenever his
statements are put to the test they
prove woefully at fault. Il never de-
sired war; he declared in the inter-
view with astonishing affrontery, for
getting his famous pronouncement of
"a jolly old war
"The presence of such a man, in
significant as he is intellectually and
as a soldier of Germany, is a standing
plague to Europe and peace"
The Daily Telegraph says:
"The ex-crown princes story is one
which the historian will regard with
justifiable skepticism. Germany is
probably not particularly proud of it's
former ruler and his son at the pres
ent moment. Their combined influ-
ence was the cause of the present
chaos and they can find nothing better
to do than try to shift all blame and
responsibility from their own guilty
shoulders at the cost of the perversion
of all we'll established facts"
