 The Americans talk of Chateau Thierry but the French will tell yol that the battle of Belleau Wood was the important battle of the war. Here the waring of the American marines astounded all Europe.
 They had been taught that the Roche was a rough fighting fellow and must be given rough handling. Therefore the American boys went after the Hun to kill or be killed.

 When news came that there was movement in Holland to force the ab dication of Queen Wilhelmina, a writer in a New York paper invited her to Arkansas and called attention to the fact that the town of Mena was named in honor of the Dutch queen. that the Kansas City South ern railroad is largely owned by Dutch capital and many of the sta tions along the line are built after Dutch architecture and that there arc many Dutchmen and Dutchwomer colonized along the line.

 After the June advance on Belleau Wood the July advance from Chateau Thierry, those who had left Paris on the German approach-more than one million, quickly returned. French mil liners and dress makers were given orders, full up, for the winters cele. bration. The end was in sight before the St. Mihiel drive.

 France has been killing off her own cattle for meat, instead of importing hay from America. She figures that the French colonies can supply the cattle later Nevertheless France has increased her percentage of food production more than the United States. The women and the children and the old men have worked as never before.
 Yet England has at times been call ed upon to help feed the French and more than any other nation has fed and supported the Belgians. England has supplied machine guns for Italy, kept 400 British ships since 1914 in the service of Italy, while lending 600 ships to France. England has also sent across the English channel 26,000, 900 tons of ammunition and 3000O,O00 of food.
 The agreement between Engalanu and France called for support of the French by the English fleet and 70 divisions or about 100000 men. The French were to keep 40 divisions or S,O0O,0O0 men and they had three and one half million men until this year, when their losses were so heavy that | the English had to take up more of their front and it was through this | extended line that the Germans broke !

ARKANSAS NOTES


 Someone took a shotgun from h. C. Crawley's ranch near Okolona last winter. MT. Crawley advertised for the gun but there was no result. A few days ago the gun was put in the place from which it was taken ana the man putting it there, left not only the gun but $25 in currency and new box of shells. Whether the man who took the gun considered this proper rental is not known.
