SIX L.R. RESTAURANTS
 ARE ORDERED CLOSED

Little Rock, June 19.-SiX restaur- ants, three barber shops and bakery were ordered closed by Judge Wood ruff on the evidence of C. M. Camp bell of the local health department, and Dr. Hayes of the United States Health Service, that conditions in them were such that they failed to re ceive a rating sufficient to entitle them to continue in business.
 The proprietor of another restaur- ant was given three days in which to make changes that would enable him to pass the health department inspec- tors.
 The restaurants closed were A. Le- vison, 7O6 West Seventh street; J. Reynolds, East Seventh street; John Repetti, 211 West Markham street; Toney Repetti, East Markham street; Willie May Mozeke, 116 Cumberland street; Swansea Restaurant, 1911 West Seventh street.

HONOR THE FLAG.

As detachment of artillerymen marched thru Pine Bluff streets yes terday, there were but few men to honor the flag as it went by-most keeping their heads covered. Now, it is not lack of patriotism that caused these men to omit the salute, but rather thoughtlessness. We nev- CT have accorded the flag the honor We should, and it is taking time for us to become accustomed to what we should. But this is war time. We are banded together in a life and death struggle, conducted under the flag of our country. The flag re- presents to us all that Americans ad- mire and love. It represents liber- ties and protection. Salute the flag!
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1918-06-20

The whole question of the proper attitude of the foreigner who becomes an American citizen has never been enunciated more effectively than in the simple eloquence of the following words, sent out on Christmas card by the late Carl Ballweg of Emporia, Kan., and quoted by the Gazette of that city in connection with his re cent death:
 "I speak from the viewpoint of the foreign-born. I, and millions of oth- CTS like me, came to this country alone, without friends. We sponged on all America had, her free lands, her free schools and, above all, her spirit of open-hearted comradeship. She owed us nothing, but she gave us all. We swore allegiance to her flag, her constitution and her laws. We would be recreants, ingrates, perjurers and CUTS if, in the hour of her need, we counseled with her enemies and
 
 were disloyal to her cause"
 The Gazette pays to his memory this well-earned tribute:
 "Loyal, courageous, appreciative and essentially kind was Carl Ball. veg in all the 35 years of his life in this town. As young man in the bank he was devoted to his trust, as a merchant he sold honest goods at honest weights. As a friend he real ized all his obligations. And in the time of his adopted country's trial his loyalty was lamp that led others to their duty. Emporia has lost real man, one of those substantial citizens who are dependable and just and stal, wart in every hour of need"
 The Kansas City Journal, comment ing on Carl Ballweg's creed makes declarations every 100 per cent Ameri can patriot will heartily endorsed The Journal declares:
 "It is the veriest nonsense to argue that any German strains his loyalty to America when he condemns the in. famies which Prussianism is practic- ing in view of the fact that America is at war with his native land. Any traitor who lies with his right hanc

and strikes his adopted country in the back by giving aid and comfort to it's enemies deserves the severest penalty that can be inflicted upon him. Let all of them paste Carl Ballweg's creed in their hats and look at their hats every time they are tempted to betray their adopted country by word or deed-keeping the other eye on the prison doors which are yawning to admit every trouble-maker, every pro- German every kaiser-helper in America who can be caught and con- victed in due process of law.
