MEN BECOMING 21 SINCE JUNE THE FIFTH
 MUST REGISTER AUG. 2.

Washington, Aug. 16.-- Provost Marshal General Crowder issued a statement today emphasizing that all male citizens who shall have reached the 21st birthday since June 5th last must appear before the local boards to register for military ser- vice on August 24, regardless of any presumed grounds for exemption. Opportunity to claim for exemption will be afforded subsequently, in the filling out of questionnaires by regis trants.
 Provision will be made for the registration by mail of any person who expects to be absent on registra- tion day from the jurisdiction of the board where he permanently resides" says the statement. But in such a case extreme care should be taken by him to see that his registration card reaches his home board on or before August PA Such persons are ad- vised to apply at once to local board for instructions as how to pro- ceed.'

doing in civil life and further ex- animation of them and a scrutiny of I the demands often determine the part they are to take, sometimes on ly for temporary duty, but in some cases for an indefinite period.
 From this lot are selected the men who will go into the big repair shops at once. Men experienced in electrical work arc sent to stations where their service is most needed. Orders for automobile experts are filled and not infreuently the men in command of the station are called upon to supply men for following, for i time at least, exactly the same kind of work they were doing in the Unit ed States before their numbers in the draft were called.
 A big hospital is being erected at one camp. The money for the mate rial was furnished by the Red Cross. The work is being done by the army. The construction of the buildings is not materially different from that of war hospitals being erected in the United States, and the same class of skilled labor is being used. Experts in the use of cement are working there. Plumbers are do- ing the same sort of work they were paid to do in the United States, car penters are employed in doing as high grade labor as could be found anywhere, and the drawing of the plans and specifications was done by architects and engineers. All the men whose work is going into the building have been taken from the rank and file of those who reached camp on their way from the ports of debarkation. They will be held there only so long as their work on the structure is required and then they will rejoin their organizations unless detailed for other work.
 Officers engaged in fixing the trade index of the army have boasted that from the ranks of the National Army there may be found men VI can do any class of work required, from grinding diamond to working On the rifling of big gun.

WHAT LLOYD GEORGE SAID.

Premied Lloyd George, speaking at Month, in Wales, Friday, was opti- mistic over the war situation. He Baid, ssthe end of the tunnel through which the allies have been travelling for four years was getting nearer. After saying this he admitted some people had complained that he is too ! optimistic.
 This statement by the British pre- mier should be warning to people who are inclined to be too optimistic. < Mark what he says. The end of the tunnel is getting nearer. The allies have been going through the tunnel for four years. The end of the tun- nel is not yet in sight, but it is get ting nearer.
 The last three weeks have been glor- ious weeks for the allies, but it might be we'll for the too optimistic 10 stop moment to consider and re- view. What would the optimistic be thinking and saying today if allied arms had won this year what Ger man arms have won? The glorious days since the middle of July have won back for us but a part of the territory taken this year by the < Germans. It must not be understood, however, that the importance of the allied victories stops with the terri cory won. The territory is not near 8 N 50 important as the assault on German morale.
 Great events may come within the next few weeks, but so far the most optimistic hopes expressed by mili- tary leaders is that the Germans may pe beaten back before winter stops the fighting this year to the line from which they started in March. If this happens 1918 will go down in history as year of great victories for the allies and as the year which caused the ending of the war.
 We must fight against optimism just as we must fight against pessi- mism. We have done well, but we have long and hard road before us. Meantime we must not lag We must not lag. We must do all in our pow ex to hack nllr goYernment in it's won dcrful work of recreation Gazette.

NOT ALL SOLDIERS
 GO INTO BATTLE.

With the American Army in Eng land, Aug. 1.-When soldier leaves the United States he should not feel certain that he is going to win glory on the battlefield in France. Wheth- CT officer or enlisted man he is sub jected to further scrutiny in England and in France and until little corps of keen-eyed and careful officers have completed the examination no one can tell into just what part of the army machine he is going to fit.
 There are in England camps where every man who passes through is trade indexed." There is especially true of one camp where large part of the airmen and motor transport forces arrive shortly after debarka- ton. The records accompanying them show what the men ,haye heen

proved from every point of view. For example, the new section will make it forever impossible to manu- facture liquors in Arkansas, for any purpose The original draft allow ed the manufacture of liquors in Arkansas for every purpose, except as a beverage.
 Again, the new draft allows no liquors to come into the state, except wine for sentimental purposes. Beer, whiskey, brandy, etc, are all out lawed-no matter for what purpose it is proposed to use them. The new draft allows alcohol to be brought into the state, owned and used for medicinal, scientific and industri purposes only, but no whiskey or drinkable intoxicants of any form or nature.
 ''It will be seen, therefore, that the new draft conserves and reinforces all our present splendid statutory prohibition laws. It also banishes drinkable booze from Arkansas for ever. If it is adopted, one cannot make it, import it, own it, hold it, or have anything to do with it. It is to be hoped that this section will be submitted separately, so that the people of the state may have a chance to banish liquor from Arkan- sas forever by ratifying this section" :"

 Little Rock, Aug. 17.-The consti- tutional convention yesterday recon sidered the prohibition article that had been adopted on Ju'y 17, and adopted a substitute offered bv Clay Sloan. chairman of the committee.
 The new article is admitted to be bone-dry, puncture-p proof, copper Sriveted, absolutely impervious, seal ing the state dramatically against any invasion of the Demon Rum.
 The new proposal follows:
 "Section lit shall be forever un- lawful for any person, firm, corpora tion, or association to manufacture any intoxicating liquor of any kind in this state.
 "Section 2-It shall be forever un- lawful for any person, firm, corpora tion, or association to import into, deliver, sell, own, or keep within this state any intoxicating liquors of any kind, except wine for sacrament al purposes, and alcohol for medici- nal, industrial, or scientific purposes. The legislative power of the state ehall provide adequate laws for the enforcement of this article"
