SENATOR ROBINSON
 ISSUES STATEMENT

lSS U ES - A EM ENI
 United States Senator Joe T. Rob- inson, candidate for the Democratic nomination for reelection in the pri- mary May 2s, who has remained at his post of duty in Washington rather than to return to Arkansas and en- gage in an active campaign, has is sued the following statement:
 "In the presence of the great peril which threatens our government, per sonal rivalries and jealousies are of trivial importance. On the Western battlefront, American soldiers are fighting with the sons of France and England to beat back the German ar mics in the mightiest conflict of all times-a conflict which involves the safety of our people and the preser- Vatlol. of the institutions of civil hb- erty and popular government. Real izing that little interest is now felt by the people in personal politics and desiring to promote victory in every possible way, 1 have remained at my post of duty and done what l could to promote the success of the cause which all loyal Americans regard of supreme importance.
 This conclusion seems to have been justified by the fact that the meetings advertised by my opponent proved complete failures, he having been unable at many points to secure an audience, and only few persons have attended elsewhere. It has been my purpose to continue without inter ruption my public duties and direct my energies against the enemies of my country, rather than engage with fellow-American in a controversy in- volvlng, chiefly, personalities of no interest to patriotic citizens.
 As brief reference to my record, 1 submit the following brief resume of the measures of national impor- tance which 1 have initiated or cham pi0ned through the Senate: Loeomo- tive Inspection Act, Minimum Penalty for Violation of the Hours of Service Act. the Federal Child Labor Law, the act reorganizing and broadening the powers of the Interstate Com meree Commissions. reforms in the Aviation Service, Flood Control, ap- propriations for Flood Control, re strieton of immigration, creation of Federal employment bureau ser -viee. anti-futures act, Daylight Say ing Law. Federal Control of Rail roads
 It is well known that l have con sistently supported President Wilson by urging the passage of every meas ure advocated by him as necessary for the successful prosecution of the war The National Defense Act, the Armed Neutrality Bill, the Seleetive Service Act. the bill authorizing the reorganization of Government> Blu reaus and Departments, the Soldiers and Sailors Insurance Act, the Es= pionaee Bill, are among the most i'm portaht war measures.
 While most of the administrative war measures have finally passed the Senate by safe majorities, they have all met with bitter and persistent op- position The Armed Neutrality Bill may be taken as an illustration, When on January 31, 1917, Germany announced her purpose to resume on the following day the ruthless sub marine warfare, the President gave the German ambassador his passports

RED CROSS PUBLICITY NOTES
 By c. w. Pool

Sunday was a busy day in Spring dale and Springdale township. Morn ing, afternoon and night meetings in the interest of the Red Cross War Fund w&s the order of the day from early morn to 10:30 D. m.
 A meeting was held at 500 in the morning in the Mayors office to ont line the days work for the various speakers and teams appointed to hold meetings in all the township school houses by the efficient Director of so- lieitors, Carl Ownbey, covering all the territory before night.
 The work was we'll and successful ly done, all Captains with their teams reporting good attendance and eayer interest in the call of the Red Cross except in one school house That dis trict is entitled to the sympathy of the community
 In the afternoon meeting was held in the Auditorium and all present were delighted-when the meeting adjourned. (Wish to say soto voce. the writer was the last speaker on the program.) At 500 D. m. the Auditor lum was the meeting place of five or SIX hundred people who were stirred to an enthusiasm of giving by the strong appeals of Rev R. s. Brown of SprIngdale and Rev. Ashley Chapoell of Fayetteville. It vas good to be there, ard have the oppor- tunity of contributing to the $666 war fund subscribed by the audience. The gifts to the fund during the day to- tals one thousand dollars, plus, and the meetings to be held during this week announced elsewhere in this is- sue of The News, will add good per cent to that amount.
 You men in the camps take notice: this part of the U. s. is waking up and Sampson is beginning to stretch himself He has been sleeping un- der the spell of Delilah and lost good deal of hair while taking his nan. but his hair is growing as did Jonah's goard and he is shaking it now hlze the lion shakes his mane. Ne are with veu hovs and are eeiag to stay with you We are going ta follow you to the trenches and want ta e2 with vau to Berlin
 The quick response made to the call for the Red Cross War Fund is very gratifying It is a promise for the future, likely to be panetuated bz calls f2f money in ever increasing amounts t is now freely talked in Congress that an army of five million men =ssffi ee on the battle line repfezeat5as the soldier spirit of America next year

and appealed to Congress to pass the Armed Neutrality Bill, filibuster against the measure was organized in the Senate. When it became appar- ent that under the rules of the Sen ate vote could not be had before the end of the session, I wrote and circu- lated among the senators for their sig natures declaration in writing that the signers would support the armed neutrality measure and read the same into the record of the Senate. This brought about modification of the rules so as to abolish unlimited debate in the Senate and to prevent a small number of senators from thwarting the will of the American people
 ''Tae Presidents appreciation of my attitude in the Senate i5 disclosed by the letter which he voluntarily wrote me and which already has been published. l did not solicit this let ter, bet am very proud of 1t, because President Wilson is the greatest liv- ing statesman--the mightiest cham pion If humanity, justice and libcr- ty in all the world. A further eVi- dence of my effectiveness in the Sen ate may be found in the letter of Hon. orable C. s. Barrett, president of the Farmers Educational Cooperative of America, and in that of the legislative committee of the Four Railway Broth erhoods.
 The recognition accorded me by my associates in the Senate in committee assignments is gratifying indeed. Within the last two weeks 1 was se- ] leeted on the Foreign Relations Com mittee to fill q vacancy caused by the death of Senator William ]. Stone of Missouri.

THE RED CROSS.
By Mrs E. s. Thompson.

Again 1 am proud to be counted as one of the twenty two millions who belong to ssleh a grand and noble organization. whiet i4 doing 50 great amount of good for human ity. John 15-13 says, Greater love hath no man thaa this. that man lay down his life for his friends That is what our dear American boys have done and are doing in behalf of their friends and for the establishing of world democracy and the grand old flag, the stars and stripes that 1t may forever float in the breeze while we and the generations to come may en- joy liberty and peace.
 Then why shouldn't Ne be willing to do our little part, for no man though he may give his millions can give as much as the ones who % to the battle front and put their very ffe's bloc in it. We should be ready and willing to do anything for the comfort of our boys while in camp and en the battle field or in the awful trenches This great company of organized Red Cross workers are helpine t. care for our boys while sick or HoandeG. Also, for those poor down t1ocden and starving Belgians. who are so much in need of our help just now. Let 1t not be said that T was sick and you nl IT, istered not to me; l was hungry and ye gave me no bread; I was thirsty and you gave me no drink. Let us freely give till the war is won, Tho it ,ost us our life as well as our

not a single country In which the fl'
ture does not hold threat of serious
difficulties and only a small part which
is not rapidly approaching the famine
point With the exception of the
Ukraine only those countries which
have maintained marine commerce
have sufficient food supplies to meet
actual needs until next harvest, and
even in the Ukraine, with stores accu-
mulated on the farms, there is famine

Belgium and northern France, as
well as Serbia, appear on the hunger

for four years maintained the small
war rations of Belgium and northern
France and is already making special
efforts to care for their increased
nfter-the-war needs, which, with those
of Serbia, must be included in this
plan, are urgent in the extreme and
must have immediate relief.
The gratitude of the Belgian nation
for the help America has extended to
her during the war constitutes the
strongest appeal for us to continue our
work there. The moment the German

Germany, on the other hand, need
not figure in such a map for Ameri-
cans because there is no present indi-
cation that we shall be called on at all

Germany. Germany probably can care
for her own food problem If she is
given access to shipping and is enabled
to distribute food to the cities with
dense populations, which are the trOu-

England, France, the Netherlands
