 Little Rock, March 25.-A confer ence in connection with the Men and Millions movement is being held to- day at the First Christian church. There are several foreign missiona- ry leaders present, to set on foot a campaign that is to be conducted here during the next two weeks. One of the workers is Dr. Royal J. Dye, who for 19 years has been engaged in missionary work among the fierce cannibal tribes of Bolonge and vicin- ity on the upper Congo. In that time he has seen some wonderful changes brought about by the missionaries, and the church is being established where barbarism of the darkest type prevailed when he and his fellow works first located in the field.

MEXICAN MATCH A CURIOSITY
ls Made of Short Piece of Cotton
String, With Head at
Each'End.

The Mexican friction match. from
our point of view, is curiosity. For
one thing. il is not made of wood. but
Is short piece of cotton string. Sec
Ondly, 1t has two heads.
There is an undeniable advantage
about match with two heads. If one
fails to light there is another in re-
serve. But the Mexican matches, to
do them justice, rarely go out. One
can strike them successfully in a fair
breeze.
This is because the cotton string is
coated with wax. In Mexico there are
factories in which such matches are
turned out 10y ingenious machines, but
billions of them are made by hand in
laborious fashion. the strings being
tipped with phosphorus composition
by girls and boys whose wages are a
few cents a day.
One match in Mexico is really two
matches. Thus, when the native starts
q fire or lights a cigarette with a fresh
one, he tucks the string back into his
pocket for use next time.

had sent fer re-enforcements early In
the day. and John Stark, with his New
Hampshire company. had courageously
crossed Charlestown Neck under Sc
we're fire from the enemy. But the haz-
ard of the attempt deferred other COM
manders from bringing troops TO the
support of the brave Prescott.
With ammunition almost exhausted
and troops tired out from the strain 10
which they had been subjected, Pres.
colt realized the futility of holding his
position In the face of repeated at
tacks by the reformed and REINFORCED
British lines. Nevertheless he deter
mined again to measure his strength
with the adversary: and, with a com.
mand TO his men to make every shot
tell, he awaited the advance of the
British. Again the latter were per
mitted to advance within twenty yards
of the American works before they
were fired upon. The British line was
broken, but still II advanced. With
their powder now quite exhausted. the
Americans met their opponents with
dubbed muskets and bayonets.
The odds were too great and Pres
colt ordered his men TO retreat. 1t
was in doing this that the Americans
suffered their heaviest loss; among
others who fell was Warren. one of
the most cherished of the popular lead

ton was buried In sleep. The sentry's
cry of "Alrs well" could be heard dis
tinctly from its shores.
AT dawn, 143 years ago, the Ameri-
cans at work were seen by the sailors
on board the British ships OF war and
the alarm was given. The captain of
the Lively, the nearest ship, without
waiting for orders, put spring upon
her cable and. bringing her guns to
bear, opened fire upon the hill. One
man, among number who had incau-
tiously ventured outside, was killed. A
subaltern reported his death to Colonel
Prescott and asked what was to be
done. BURY him." was the reply.
1t was the first fatality IN the battle
Of Bunker Hill, one of the most mo-
mentous conflicts In our Revolutionary
history. 1t was the first regular battle
between the British and the Americans
and most eventful In Its consequences.
The British had ridiculed and deSpised
their enemy, representing them as das-
tartily and inefficient; yet here the best
British troops, led on by experienced
officers, were repeatedly repulsed by
an inferior force of that enemy-mere
yeomanry-from works thrown up in
single night, and suffered loss rarely
paralleled in battle with the most vet
eran soldiers. According to their own
returns their killed and wounded. out

What the Victory Meant.

A gallant loyalist of Massachusetts,
who fought so well for King George
that he rose to be full general in the
British army, regarded Bunker Hill ms
a transaction which controlled every
thing that followed. "You could not"
he would say to his friends on the 9th
er side, shave succeeded without IT,"
"The rebels" Gage wrote week af-
ter the battle, "are shown not TO be the
disorderly rabble too many have sup
posed. In all their wars against the
French they have showed no such con-
duct and perseverance as they do now.
They do not see that they have ex-
changed liberty for tyranny. No peo-
pie were ever governed more absolute
ly than the American provinces now
are; and no reason can be given for
their submission but that II is n ty-
ranny which they have erected them
selves"
Bunker Hill exhibited the Americans
to all the world as people to be
courted by allies and counted with by
foes. 1t was a marvel that so many
armed citizens had been got together
so quickly and still greater marvel
that they had stayed together so long.
Move Forced on British.
After the engagement at Lexington
on April 10 the British force under
General Gage was increased to 10000
men by the arrival of Generals Howe,
Clinton, and Burgoyne with their COM
mands from England. These occupied
the town of Boston on peninsula ex-
tending into the harbor. The naval
forces consisted of the Falcon. Lively,
Somerset. Symmetry. Glasgow, and
four floating batteries. Across the
Charles river. at Cambridge, and on
the surrounding hills, were encamped
between 10000 and 10000 undlsci-
plined Americans. The British, thus cut

they approached the works of the
Americans, constituting the silence on
the hilltop as timidty. They changed
their attitude on this point when they
arrived within few hundred feet OF

refrain from firing until the command

plated movement to occupy the sew
eral heights near Charlestown, at Dor
chester, and adjacent points.
The arrival of such formidable
force of the enemy caused the gravest
concern to the colonists. 1t was ru-
mored that the British would sally forth
from Boston and burn the neighboring
towns. 1t was to prevent this that the
Americans determined to fortify Bun
ker Hill for. If the British should get
out of the city and intrench upon Dor.
