 The wonderful things the draft law has accomplished will never be known until many years from now, but il will prove great aid in many ways to the advancement of this govern ment.

PVT. CHARLES E. SEWARD Private Charles E. Senyard wasn't quite 16, but he coundn't stand the call for men so he took the part of one, worked a rabbits foot and en- listed June 3 at Jefferson Barracks, St. Louis. He is now with Company "B.' 45th Infantry Camp Gordon. Ga, and no doubt he's sitting back calling the kaiser a piker and four husher because Mr. Hohenzollern wouldn't wait until all of Uncle Sam's boys got over there. Charles is well known among the younger folks of Pine Bluff and his eager desire to get into the big game is just another proof that the military autocrats didn't have any idea what hornets nest they were stirring up when they started that war.

As q relay point for troops the Azores would meet almost every re- quirement. The climate is equable; access easy, abundant streams for water supply; fertile soil and within two days sailing of the continent.
 That the Koreans would give our troops and ships cordial welcome is unquestioned. Friendly relations be- tween the United States and the Koreans date back to the War of 1872 when the Armstrong was beached on the island.
 During the Civil war the Tuscarora and Kearsarge were stationed there, and when the latter went forth for the naval duel that resulted in the sinking of the Alabama, the Confederate pri- yateer, at eherbourg, more than 100 Koreans were members of the crews of the two Union ships Today there are many pensioners on the islands, veterans who served under sherman, Grant, Sheridan and Howard.
 Beautiful Sea and Sky Effects.
 S. c. N. Benjamin says: No part of the Atlantic is more prolific in the wonders of the sea than the Azores. The inexhaustible diversity of the cloud scenery of those islands l have never seen approached except at Ma deira combining the effects of sea and land clouds.
 At sea the impression of distance is conveyed as never on land, because no hills nor mountains intervene to interrupt the view of the most dis tant cloud strata, and no clouds are so full of suggestive form, of repre- sentations of dreamland as those far off. low-lying, vapory forms, couchant along the dim offing, plcturing phan- tom towers and oriental domes clus- tered on the edges of precipices fanked by iee-clad peaks and over hung by groves of palms. Off Pico, one evening. 1 saw in the sky horse men chasing q stag and, as they faded away, q triumphal march of knights in gilded armor moved slowly and ma jestieally westward. No effort of fancy was required to distinguish all these groups with perfect distinctness.
 One of the finest effects at sea is mirage, which is confined to no one part of the ocean, although the condi- tions that produce it do not always seem thoroughly explained by saying that it is due to refraction. To see the shore raised above the water and lowering rnvsteriouSly in the air re- fiected in another sea of its own, is sight that the most threadbare famili- arity can never make less wonderful"

GREAT EAGLE OF STONEWORK
Quartz Rock Bird, Work of Indians, Measures 12o Feet From Tip to
 Tip of Wings.

Conflicting stories are told concern ing large stonework eagle which Is situated on the broad top of stony rain-gullied hill in middle Georgia. The one point that seems to be cer- tain, observes writer, is that the h. dians left the eagle as a legacy to the state. A hundred years from now 1t will probably be found lying on its back, with outspread wings and tail, even as 1t lies today. For 1t Is made of quartz rock so cunningly placed that 1t would require pick in a strong mans hands to displace any one of them. The rocks lap and over lap in such a manner as to represent feathers. No cement holds them in position, and the stones vary in size, weighing from half pound to three or four pounds. The image rests on a very firm foundation. for the stone work extends several feet into the ground.

AUSTR|A'S CIVIL
 STRIFE UNCHECKED
EXACT SITUATION IS NOT RE- VEALED IN THE MEAGER DE-
 TAILS AVAILABLE.
GERMAN SITUATION REMOTE
In Hungary the People Are EndeaVor. ing To Ascertain What the Pros poets Are For Ending the War-ls
 But Little Fighting Going On.

New York.-The internal strife in Austria is due chiefly to war weari- : ness, the high cost of living. and the dislocation of economic life continues of absorbing interest. \ Vienna dis patch to the Berliner Morgenpost says the Austrian ministry has resigned and that Count von Toggeuburg, minis ter of the interior, has been charged with the task of forming a new cab inet.
 Although the exact situation is not revealed in the meager details avail able, the dispatches that have crept through indicate a situation that will require skiIlful handling to bring the dissatisfied people into state of trac- ticability.
 No newspapers III Vienna were per mitted last Saturday. The only publ!- cation allowed was a single sheet bull letin, which told some of the details of the nationwide strike and the de Yelopments in the peace discussions at Brest-Litovsk As usual the hand of the German propagandists was seen in this ene=sheet publication. for the chief announcement ln il was from the German Social Democracy of Aus tria. This lays stress on the last years declaration of the Austro Hun garian foreign minister. Count Ger min, that the Central powers were ready to make an immediate general peace without annexation or indemnl- ties.
 Evidently. however, this statement failed to plaeate the strikers in Ni- enna, who sent q large delegation to wait upon the food minister to in form him of conditions among the working classes and to impress on him that their desire for peace oyershad- owed and took precedence over all ether demands.
 In Hungary the people are #endeavor- ing to ascertain what are the pros poets for the end of the wal So tn- sistent has been their effort in this direction that the Hungarian premier has been forced 10 announce in the lower house of Parliament that the government adheres to the principle of peace without annexation or in demnities-that even the king shared in this view. The premier. however, added that the question of AIsaee- Lorraine should not at present enter into the situation, as 1t Is not eaIcu- lated 10 strengthen tke governments position.
 The censorship has closed down with regard to the internal situation in Germany. although one of the Der lin newspapers is quoted as declaring that the oft-postponed speech of the imperial chancellor to the Main Com mittee of the Reiehstag will be de hvered soon. The debate following the speech is expected to extend over three days

If a Friend Has Hurt You.

T know very well what it is to be dis appointed i'll a friend, writes Anne Me Call, in the Womans Home Compan- ion, but l know, too-because l have made a practice of looking facts in the faee-that the bitter resentment and tragic disappointment we feel in such a case are often centered in ourselves; our self-esteem has been wounded, or We have been proved mistaken, or we wanted this one friend to devote her self exclusively to us. And it is for some such unworthy thing as this that we are willing to break our hearts But not if we are in the habit of look Ing honestly for reasons and causes. Once we learn to do that, how the old bitterness and weakness and failures slip away. Once we know the real cause of a thing that is distressing or unworthy, how much easier is the cor reetion of it
