NEW CONSTITUTION
 UP ID PEOPLE
Great Diversion of Opinion as to It's Merits and Some Delegates Are Frankly Opposed to Its Adoption
 What One of These Says.
Special to The Star.

Special to The Star
 Little Rock, Aug. 29.--Now that the constitutional convention is al- most ready to turn it's finished pro- duct over to the tender mercies of the electorate, the question is being asked with great frequency: twill it be ratified by the people? 2"
 It depends.
 In the first place the people want to know what they are voting on. The president of the convention is au- thorized to have printed 10000 copies of the document, and land such ad- ditional publications as may be deemed necessary" for the informa- ton of the people.
 Governor Brough and some of the more influential members of the con stntion will devote some time advo- eating it's passage before the people, explaining it's provisions and showing it's advantages over that 1874.
 The great majority of the conven- tion, without doubt, have confidence in their own handiwork. They be- lieve that they have written a good document, and that the people will ratify it when they understand it.
 But the newspapers of the state have not reflected very. general pub lie interest in the work of the conven- tion, and some of the Little Rock pa- pers have been frankly antagonistic.
 The members of the convention have not themselves been a unit, al- tho it is only fair to say that the op- ponents of the constitution have been only a small handful K. G. Mitchell of Harrison candidly admitted his to writing new body. Several others went home a few weeks ago with the statement that they did not intend to return.
 Probably the most outspoken mem- Der is J. G. Belote of Hot Spring county, who left a week before ad- journment and published the follow ing interview in the Malvern Record:
 T wish to say to my people at home that the new constitution is failure. The farmer has not got enough friends here to protect his large ma jority of lawyers and friends in this and it is house of Cezers against the farmers of this state. They are willing to release the cor porations and the rich from taxation, and double the tax on the farmer Poor farmer, he feeds the world and furnishes 86 per cent of the soldiers to fight for his country, and this great cause we must win, and yet he is ignored on this convention. The people had better go to the polls and vote this constitution down and pre- serve the one that our fathers gave us in 1874"

 "It is the closing chapter in Ameri- ca's biggest criminal case" said Frank N. Nebekker, chief prosecutor
 We are confident new trial will be granted" said George F. Wander veer, chief counsel for the defense
 Before pronouncing sentence on the defendants, Judge Landis reviewed at some length the salient points in the governments case, laying especial stress on the I. W. W. preamble de- claring eternal war on the employing class and denouncing war with other nations; the meeting of the executive board after America entered the war, at which it was decided to expel mem bers entering military service, and la ter the concerted plan by strikes and rebellion to block war measures.
 "In times of peace, you have legal right to oppose, by free speeches, pre- parations for war. But when war has been declared that right ceases forth with" was the courts closing re- marks.
 Aside from a slight disturbance in the corridor when one of the prison CTS became hysterical while being led away, there was no disorder. Scores of special police banked the corridors and court room and kept the crowds of spectators away.

BRUTALITY BY U-BoAT CREW.
Deliberately Murdered ss of 4e on the
 Steamer Lydiana.


 London, Aug. 2S--Details of the sinking of the French steamer Lydia na off the north coast of Spain on July Is show that the crew of the German submarine deliberately murdered most of the 3S persons lost. There were only eight survivors from ort of the forty-six of the crew and passengers on board.
 The U-boat torpedoed the vessel without warning, killing several of the crew. While boat was being lowered from the Lydiana, second torpedo struck the vessel. The boat was torn from it's davits but she kept her keel. Seeing this the submarine rammed her and broke her in two. The enemy then turned and rammed a second boat which had been launched successfully. A young woman of 23, one of the passengers, was thrown high in the air by the impact and killed, The captain of the Lydiana was killed in the same crash.
 The Germans then endeavored to sink a raft carrying the remaining survivors At first their efforts were without success. When one of the ships officers left the raft to swim back to the Lydiana, the submarine turned and the officer was killed by it's propellers.
 After finally disposing of the Ly- diana by shell fire the U-boat made a sixth and successful attempt to ram the raft, amid laughter from the U- boats captain and crew. The subma- rine then disappeared.
 The eight survivors were picked up from the sea by patrol boats.

LIKE AN ELECTRIC
 BUTTON ON TOES
Tells Why Corn Is So Painful and Says Cutting Makes
 Them Grow.

Press an electric button and you form a contact with live wire which rings the bell. When your shoes press against your corn it pushes it's sharp roots down upon a sensitive nerve and you get a shock of pain.
 Instead of trimming your corns, which merely makes them grow, just step into any drug store and ask for quarter of an ounce of freezone. This will cost very little but it is suf- ficent to remove every hard or soft corn or callus from one's feet A few drops applied directly upon tender aching corn stops the soreness in- stautly. and Sncn the corn sar;vs.s up so it lifts right out, root and all, without pain. This drug freezone is harmless and never infames or even irritates the surrounding skin. Adv,

Liberty Bond Coupons

The interest coupons of Liberty
Loan bonds are payable at any Fed
eral reserve bank or subtreasury and
at the treasury department in Wash
|ington, and any national bank which
is a general depositary of government
funds is required to cash these cou-
pons without charge.
It is believed by the treasury de-
partment that no bank or trust COM
pany which is depositary of the pro-
ceeds of Liberty Bonds or treasury
certificates of Indebtedness will make
a charge for collecting the coupons,
paying cash to the holder. The serv-
ice rendered by banking institutions
in cashing these interest coupons is a
substantial one, but it is hoped that
these depositaries will perform the
service without charge as a patriotic
duty.

WHEN SMOKES ARE SCARCE

Tobacco Famine KeenIy Felt Among

Bv J. w. PEGLER

WITH THE AMERICAN EXPEDl-
TIONARY ARMY, FRANCE.-Half the
Sammies in this town woke up with
the "gimmes" today.
"Got cigarette?" was the breakfast
greeting and it has been the watch
word of smoke-hungry mortals all day
long.
Tobacco just ain't in this town, ex-
cept for the small surplus stocks that
fore-sighted soldiers have slowed away
in their kit-bags.
Even the village tobacco-depot is
sold out which means that Sammy is
in awful straights for a smoke. No
one buys French cigarettes if he can
possibly rustic piece of rattan horse
whip or baby-carriage.
The quartermaster is "all OUT but
expects some in tomorrow" To-
morrow is an elastic term which may
mean 2 o'clock next week.
Some big tobacco funds have been
raised back home, but if the smokes
ever get to France they skipped this
village. A smoke famine is on.

AUTO PRICES ARE HIGHER
WHILE CHANGES ARE FEW
Show on i'm New York With S6 Manu-
facturerS and 800 Models on
Display.

NEW YORK-The eighteenth annual
national automobile show opened at
the Grand Central Palace today-war
time prices availing. The show will
continue until January 12.
Eighty-siX manufacturers are dis
playing more than 300 models, rang
ing all the way from tiny runabouts
selling for few hundred dollars to
the largest roomiest limousines costing
up to 100000
The exhibit include cars meeting
every purse" but the percentage of
low priced cars is marked lower than
in 1917. Last year about 10 per cent
of the models sold for under $3.50.
This year just slightly under per
cent of the models sell under this
mark.
rs Twenty-one and six-tenths per cent
of the 1918 models list for under $1,000
Last year this price class represented
277 per cent of the models. A man
desiring to spend between $1,000 and
$4,000 for a car this year has 49 per
cent of the models on the market to
select from, while last year he had 53.6
per cent.
Thousands of little attachments des
ignated to add to the economy and
comfort of automobile maintenance
are displayed on the upper floors of
the palace.
The 1918 car shows very little
change mechanically over that of 1917.
What changes have been made, are
chiefly in the nature of minor refine
ments.

ALL WRONGS
MADE RIGHT
THIS MUST BE THE BASIS FOR
PERMANENT PEACE OF

GREAT BRITAIN IS FIRM
GERMANY MUST MAKE REPARA-
TION AND GIVE UP CON-
QUERED TERRITORY.
Associated Press

| LONDON-Premier Lloyd George adj
dressing the trade unions today on the
war aims of Great Britain and her
allies said that only the clearest and
greatest and most just causes could
justify the continuance, even for a
day, of this unspeakable agony of the
nations" He declared that Great Brit
ain is not fighting to take Constan-
tinople from Turkey or to destroy
Austria-Hungary
1--WE are not fighting a war of ag-
gression against the German people,"
Lloyd George said, cor for the destruc-
ton or disruption of Germany, and the
German people have never been at war
with us. Our viewpoint is that the
adoption of democratic constitution
by Germany will be the most convinc-
ing evidence that the old spirit of
military domination is dead, but that
is a question for the German people
to decide"
Referring to Count Czernins pro-
nouncement at the Brest-Litovsk con-
ference the premier said: ut is inn
possible to believe that any perman-
ent peace could be erected on such a
foundation
The premier said the democracy of
Great Britain would stand to the last
by the democracies of France and
Italy.
"We mean to stand by the French
democracy to the DEATH" he declared,
and "in the demand of the French to
make a reconsideration of the great
wrong of 1871 when Alsace-Lorraine
were torn away from them. Repara-
ton means recognition of the fact that
unless international right is recog-
niZed by insistanoe on payment for
injury done in defiance of it's canons
it cantnever be a reality. Next comes
the restoration of Serbia Montenegro
and the occupied parts of Belgium,
France, Italy and Rumania. The COM
plete withdrawal of alien armies and
reparation for injustice is the funda-
mental condition Of a permanent
peace"

cash AND CARRY"
AS DIR. BRYAN SEES It
HEAD OF STATE COUNCIL OF DE.
FENSE TELLS OF MODIFIED
FORMS

DR.. E. A. Bryan, chairman of the
Idaho council of defense, has given
out statement on the "Cash and Car
ry" plan of transacting local business
that contains reasonable suggestions.
He says:
''The object of the government in
approving the Cash and Carry sys-
tenn is to promote economy of labor
and cost and to promote thrift in the
community. 1t needs no argument to
prove that much loss is due to the
credit system. If this loss can be
eliminated, the price of goods can and
will be lowered. 1t scarcely needs
an argument to prove the abuse OF the
delivery system due to the thought
lessness of the people and the COM
petitive strife of the sellers of goods.
''An authentic case is reported in
which a good customer the other day
ordered a pair of knitting needles, in
sisting upon immediate delivery, else
the sweater would not be done IN
time And the needles were delivered.
A loaf of bread, a paper of pins,
half yard of gingham, a multitude OF
petty things in single orders add to
the load which everybody must carry
because people are thoughtless.
"'Cash and Carry is a phrase which
stands for movement to reduce the
added cost of credit losses and un-
necessary deliveries. The council OF
national defense, in favoring the move
ment, freely grant that there must be
adoption within conditions. In some
instances, cash may mean payment
within 80 days when that alone will
fit local conditions. In other cases,
ter at the time of the transaction. In
some instances it means that the goods
shall be actually taken by the pur-
chaser in his own hands to his own
home. In others, it means coopera-
tive delivery and the elimination OF
a needless multiplication Of delivery
systems; in all cases the reduction
of deliveries to one a day on single
route and the reduction of routes.
All this must be reflected in clear
saving in the cost of goods to the

whom an account is kept should be
met with definite reduction, say
per cent, in the entire bill.
"The success of the cash and carry |
plan will depend upon the cooperation
3f the entire communicable peo-
pie as we'll as the merchants. 1t is
A patriotic duty resting upon cooper
ative movement"
