Young men joined the colors could
be filled in no other way, the wives

clare.
While some help from the cities
NAV be obtained, workers unframed
in driving teams, stacking hay and
shocking wheat are of little value as
compared with the farm women.
Corn now may be plowed without
plants becoming covered and trav-
elers are greatly impressed by the
number of women guiding plowS
through the rows with the skill OF
men. Despite the heavy work in
volved in wheat harvesting, many
women will assist in that task this
year.

THE MASQUE OF LIFE.

"The Masque of Life to be
shown at the Palace Theater Sun
day afternoon and Monday, is one
of the really big shows OF the sea-
son. The main story is a romnace
that of a young girl with whom a
prince falls in love. They plan to
elope, but the death OF the mans
father puts the prince on the throne
and prevents the proposed marriage
to the pretty young girl, who then
attempts to commit suicide. by
reason of diplomatic custom the
prince is forced into marriage
with one OF royal blood. He be-
lieves his little circus sweetheart
dead and does not meet her again
until the moment when she rescus
his baby from the top of 3oO-foot
chimney, where it had been taken
by a crazed circus chimpanzee. This
wonderful monkey, Pete" is owned
by Rita Jolivet, the famous actress,
who takes the leading part. The
picture is ecidedly different from
any other picture ever shown in
America. Practically every human
emotion is touched on in this film
love, hatred, jealousy, self-sacri-
fee and tragedy of death-all are
represented. The obstacles to the
friendship of the little circus girl
and her former sweetheart, seem un-
surmountable, and thus forms the
basis for the clevercst sort Of plot
development.

CALIFORNIA IDEA IS
TAKEN TO LONDON
Conducted BY the Government At
Cheap Prices.

London, May o9.-(Correspond-
ence of the Associated Press)-The
war has brought the cafeteria idea
to London. This plan of serving
food to the public at minimum
prices is to be undertaken by the
government and will be known as
the ministry of foods model national
kitchen and restaurant.
The director of national kitchens
announced recently that he hoped
by this new method to be able to
supply good wholesome food at less
than one-third the prices charged
at popular tea shops and restaur-
ants in London, and not only pay
rent and all establishment charges,
but also to clear profit of Is per
cent.
All food is to be prepared and
cooked within plain view of the
public, windows separating the
kitchen from the dining room prop
er
1t is also proposed to deliver food
at offices in the neighborhood at
an additional cost of few cents.
The food kitchen officials say the
table napery, cutlery and crockery
will compare favorably with that
used in the good London restaur-
ants.
The restaurant is to be in New
Bridge street, Blackfriars, not far
from Fleet street. If the demand
from night workers in the newspa-
per offices and other shops in the
neighborhood justifies such action
it is planned to keep the state res
taurant open all night.

of the cross and the supreme sac

AT first He maintained a peculiar
reserve about Himself. When they
smote Him on the cheek He looked
with unanswerink pity upon His
face. He came AT last in deadly
conflict. There was no -gumen:

those contracts or in any degree be
retroactive. Some of the attorneys
contended that in the present war
situation anything was possible with
the government and whatever the
government does, must of necessity
be right, but even though this con-
tention was tacitly admitted to be
sound, yet, at the same time, it was
strongly ntimated that the govern
men would not take such drastic ac-
ton unless forced to do so, as it
might result in demoralizing some
branches of the industry and create
confusion The producers commit
tee, which at all times has earnestly
desired to work in harmony with
the government, receded from its
opposition to a differential or pre-
MUM in any form and on their part
the representatives of the other or
ganizations receded from their hard
and fast advocacy of the gravity
basis and the medium was reached.
AS part of the agreement it is un-
derstood, in fact, it has been def
nitely stated by the oil division of
the fuel administration, that there
will be no advance in the prices of
either crude or refined oils, at least
for the present.

has lately been making Ranger,

has considerable oil interests, is in

WORD SERVANT" MAY
DISAPPEAR IN ENGLAND
Household Orderlies Is New Name
Suggested for Bridget.

London, June j.-Servants in
England may be known as house
hold orderlies," if a plan of the
Women's Industrial Council works
successfully. Promoters Of the
idea believe that the term of "serv-
ant is Objectionable to women
workers and it is proposed to estab-
lish Household Orderly Corps" in
centers throughout the country.
Women are to be trained and or
ganized for household duties and
under present arrangements a wage
scale of 80 shillings for 48-hour
week has been determined upon.
From the district centers skilled
domestic orderlieS' are to be sup
piled to households for a desired
number of hours each day.
Attached TO the centers will be a
training school, a restaurant and
sleeping quarters, in charge OF a
manager. A board of management,
composed of representatives of en-
ployers and workers, will decide the
charges to be made to employers,
the hours of work, holidays and the
style OF uniform to be worn.
Promoters of the plan say it
promises solution Of the house
hold workers problem and suggests
a career for thousands OF girls
who will lay down war work with
the coming of peace, and who
would find no attractions in domeS-
tic service under present conditions.

One of the important features of
the conference and which assisted
materially in the adoption of the
differential clause was the fact that
there are outstanding a number OF
contracts for future deliveries of
crude oil at a premium and it was

whether any action on the part

LICENSE DEALERS IN
 FOREIGN EXCHANGE
UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT WILL KEEP CREDITS FROM
 ENEMY USE.

Washington. - Foreign exchange transactions announced by Secretary McAdoo are placed strictly under the supervision of the federal reserve board, which will license dealers through federal reserve banks and re- ceiye reports periodically on each in diyidual purchase or sale. In this way the government seeks to insure that no credits go to assist any enemy inter ests and to provide d we'll organized method for feeling the pulse of the foreign exchange traffic.
 The regulations were signed by President Wilson under authority of the espionage and trading with the enemy acts.
 Dealers in foreign exchange or se- curities for foreign correspondents are required to obtain registration cer- tificates by applying to the federal re serve banks of the district, and are to be grouped in three classes accord ing to the nature of their business. Customers of these dealers then are to sign a statement for each purchase or sale, showing the purpose and de- claring that no enemy or ally of ena- my interest has any connection with the transaction. The statements must be filed with the federal reserve banks, together with weekly detailed reports from the foreign exchange dealers
 tThe regulations" says treasury explanatory statement, will put into the hands of the secretary and the fed eral reserve board full information as to the manner in which the credit fa- cilities of the United States are being used. Through the power vested in the secretary and the federal reserve board to prohibit any bank or banker in the United States from doing busi. ness with any foreign correspondent suspected of acts incompatible with the interests of the United States, q weapon is furnished 10 the govern ment which will be used 10 control any misuse of our credit facilities and which can be yielded with the neces. sary amount of yigor to accomplish the results sought

NEW PRIMARY LAW
 IS INTERPRETED
ATTORNEY GENERAL RULES ON WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO
 CAST VOTE.
MUST HAVE 1917 RECEIPT
Opinion Is Considered important To Electors of State and One That
 Will Govern Election Officers in General Primaries.
Little Rock

Little Rock John D. Arbuckle, attorney general of Arkansas. handed down an opinion of considerable importance to the cleo tors of Arkansas and one that will govern election officers in the general primaries to be held in May lie holds that in order to vote in the con- ing primaries, under the Brundidge election law the voter is not required to present a poll tax receipt which shall include taxes in process of col lection for the period closing on the first Monday in July, 1913, but that a 1917 poll tax receipt is. sufficient.
 The attorney general says:
 "The question might be raised that city primaries are held earlier and during the tax paying time and before a voter would have an opportunity to obtain a poll tax receipt during the present collection. I beg to call your attention to the fact that the time for holding general election of cities and incorporated towns is before the ex- piratfon Of the tax paying time for this year or before the first Monday in July of this year, and hence apply ing the rule as laid down in the 'Brundidge primary act, the poll tax receipt to be demanded of those de string to vote in city primaries would be the receipt received at the tax pay ing time closing the first Monday in July. 1917"
 MT. Arbuekle pointed out that the Brundidge act was initiated, voted upon and adopted by the people, and provides that whenever a political par ty in Arkansas holds primary for the nomination of a candidate for Con- gress. the United States senatorship or any county, municipal or state of fee the primary is thereby made le- gal election.
 In all legal elections in Arkansas the voter must exhibit a poll tax re- ceipt for the payment of taxes the time of the collection of taxes next preceding such election.

AMERICANS ACTIVE
 ON BATTLE FRONT
WHOLE AMERICAN SECTOR IS ASTOUNDING WITH THE
 BOOM OF GUNS.
U. s. BATTERIES PRAISED
Artillery and Snipers Also Have Be- come Increasingly ActiVe-Ameri- can 75's Are Harrassine Traffic

With the American Army i'll France. The whole American sector is re sounding with the boom of guns. Air men became exceedingly active along the American front. Enemy snipers wounded two Americans slightly
 A shift of the wind cleared away the mist which has hindered aerial opera tiOns and other activities for several days. A number of battles in the air were fought by patroling planes. In one instance the French aviators de- feated an attempt of German flyers to cross behind the American trenches.
 The artillery and snipers also have become increasingly active. American 75s are harassing traffic behind the enemy trenches. The Germans arc cOnfning their fire largly to the Amer ican trenches
 American troops now are occupying a sector of the Lorraine front in France. This announcement is per mitted by the military censors.
 The correspondents permanently ac. credited to the American army have been informed that they may proceed to virtually any point within the zope of fire except the trenches, without escort and without special permission. Arrangements were made whereby newspaper men may proceed to any brigade headquarters few hlometers behind the trenches after first report ing their presence WitE.n the zone to the headquarters of the division of which the brigade is part. Unless there is some occurrence which makes it inadvisable in the opinion Of the brigade con$lander for cofresponG- ents to move nearer the front, they may walk from his headquarters to regimental headquarters behind the lines.
 Since all roads immediately behind the front are within easy German gun range and under German observation, not more than two correspondents may move forward together. They must wear gas masks in alett posi- ton and helmets. Newspaper men must obtain special permission to vis- it the trenches and must be accom- panied by an escorting officer.
 The French commander of saus- age balloons squadron, who was an artillery officer at Verdun during the heaviest fighting and also particupat- ed in the Somme offensive, declared that the work of certai> American batteries at the front is almost per feet He was particularly pleased with the work done by American guns in firing on a German position in a wood, which he observed from bal loon.

Berlin Fails To Renlv,

London. - The German strike is still growing in magnitude, the Ex- change Telegraph correspondent at ] Copenhagen reports. In Berlin 700.- GOO persons are on strike, he reports, 1 5S,000 of these being women.
 A great number of socialist leaders have been arrested in various German towns, according to this authority. The fact that Berlin is wrapped in thick fog has made it impossible for the authorities to prevent the dissem- ination of pamphlets, the reports state.
 The cessation of work in Hamburg is now virtually complete. according to Daily Telegraph dispatch from Rotterdam. The strike has extended from the Vulcan shipbuilding works in Hamburg to the works of Blohmn & Voss, another large shipbuilding con cern. The strikers demand an imme- diate peace on the basis of no annex ations and no indemnities.
 The Socialist party leaders in Ger many, according to statement in the Berliner Tageblatt, forwarded by the Amsterdam correspondent of the Central News, have asked President | kaempf of tht Reichstag to summon the Reichstag immediately in view of the alarming events of the past few days. At meeting of the erlin strikers the Tagtblatt adds, resolu- tion was passed declaring that the strikers would oppose to the utmost of their power any reprisals against their leaders or representatives.
 Fifty thousand workmen have ceas- ed work at Kiel. The strike is now general in the Chemnitz district, which is the most important industrial section in Saxony. Field Marshal von Hindenburg's proclamation appealing to the workers to stop striking ap- peared on all the street corners of Berlin.
 The Germania of Berlin says taat Herr Walraff, minister of the interior, still refuses to meet delegates Of the workmen and the strike continues to grow.
 Among the views expressed in spe- cial dispatches from Holland in re- gard 10 the German trike is one that the German government is exploiting what hardly amounts to moro than peace time demonstration with the object, if possible, of producing more serious movement in allied countries, where 1t apparently believes the governments are less able than it. self to control such movements.
