POLICY PERMITTING
 BREWERIES TO CONTINUE

Little Rock, Feb. 25.-Following a sermon on "Unjustifiable Discrimina- tion in Food and Fuel Conservation. :" by the pastor, the Rev. B. F. Cato. the following resolutions were unani- mously adopted at the forenoon ses- sion Sunday:
 Resolved, that we, the congrega- tion of the First Christian Church. of Little Rock, Ark, do hereby condemn the policyaof permitting the breweries to continue the wilful and indefensible waste and destruction of food and fuel in the manufacture of beer and near beer products, the equal of 1000 .0OO one-pound loaves of bread daily and 8,000,000 tons of coal annually, as an unjustifiable discrimination against the patriotic men, women and children who are called upon to make tremen- dous sacrifices to help win the war; that this protest be transmitted at once to the President, the food, fuel and railroad administrators, and the Arkansas delegation in Congress, de- manding the prompt enactment of laws that will insure the immediate closing of all breweries in the United States, for the period of the war and reconstruction, as measure of com mon justice to our people"

GERMAN PEACE TERMS
 ACCEPTED BY RUSSIA
Bolsheviki Will Send Delegation to Brest-LitOvsk at Once Roumania is Negotiating, Bull garia Gets Benefit.

London, Feb. 24.-Germany's peace terms have been accepted by Nikolai Lenine. ths' Bolsheviki premier, and Leon TrotslSy, foreign minister, act ing for the central executive of the Soviets.
 This announcement is made in a Russian official statement received by wireless. It adds that Russia will send a delegation immediately to Brest-Litovsk.
 Informal peace negotiations with Roumania were begun yesterday at Castle Bufftea, near Bucharest, ac- cording to advices reaching diplomatic circles at the Hague, as transmitted in an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from that point. The terms of the central powers are said to include ter ritorial acquisitions for Bulgaria and economic preferences for Germany and Austria.
 Premier Averesco, of Roumania, will consult King Ferdinand at Jassy, for which purpose few days of grace were given by the representatives of the central powers.
 Germany is represented in the nego- tiations by Foreign Secretary von Kuehlmann; Austria by Foreign Min ister Czernin, and Bulgaria by Pre- mier Radoslavoff.
 If peace is not brought about, the Russians will fight to a finish, Leon Trotsky is quoted as having said in an interview with the Petrograd cor respondent of the Exchange Tele- graph Company. The interview fol- lows:
 'If we don't get a separate peace we shall fight to the finish. We do not lose hope. We are informed from Stockholm that relations between Der lin and Vienna are strained. If we possessed an army able to fight we would start war with Germany.
 ''If there is any one able to resist the German invasion it is our (Bol- sheviki) party. We have declared that we were forced to sign a peace declaration and our humiliation is not greater than when strikers are forced to agree to the terms of the capital ists. The first symptoms of the panic will soon pass and we shall apply re- solute methods in order to finish the war"

CHAS. NJ. SHELDON DELIEVRS
 ADDRESS AT LITTLE ROCK

Little Rock, Feb. 25.-Chas. M. 1 Sheldon, of Topeka, Kan, the cele- brated author of "In His Steps," who is here visiting his son, soldier at Camp Pike, delivered an address yes terday afternoon at the Palace Thea ter to an audience of men that filled the house. He recently returned from campaign through reat Britain in the interest of prohibition, having made addresses in fifty cities and towns in forty-eight days. He related many thrilling experiences, and told of the effect the war is having upon England, but he dwelt principally upon the evils of the public house" or saloon, which is maintained through the support of powerful brewery interest among the higher authorities.
 Out in Kansas, where l come from,' sadi the speaker, "when man ifidktS Oi SOiS liloVit NN oNiN 'AAAAA W jail, but over in England, they send him to the House of Lords"
 In America there are strict laws against selling liquor to man in uni- form, but in England, the soldier is the chief prey of the public house, and will sell spirits to men in uniform, while the civilian can get only beer or wine. American soldiers, who come from dry camps and off dry ships, are thrown into the midst of these temp tations, and the speaker said he had seen thousands drunk. These condi- tions are much worse in England than elsewhere, and the boys are in less danger at the front in France thar they are among the temptations ol beer and whiskey ridden England.
 The speaker disclaimed any inten

SHIP HITS IN STORM;
 IA LIVES ARE LOST
Liner FlOrizel Was Bound From St. Johns to New York Heavy Seas Pounded the Vessel to Pieces.

St. Johns, N. F., Feb. 24.-The Red Cross Line steamer Florizel, bound from this port for Halifax, and New York, with 77 passengers and a crew of 69, was wrecked near Broad Cove. 20 miles north of Cape Race, today, and all on board are supposed to have perished. Six bodies were washed ashore during the day.
 The steamer struck early this morn- ing while fighting her way through a binding blizzard In few hours she had pounded to pieces on the rocks and at dusk her hull had settled under the battering until she was al- most submerged.
 The bodies washed ashore include those of Joseph Kean and Robert Snow, passengers, and James Long, sailor. Snow was one of six noncom- missioned officers of the Newfound- land regiment who were proceeding to Toronto to join the Royal Flying Corps. t->--~-
 The Florizel was a sister of the steamer Stephano, which was sunk by the German submarine U-53 off Nantucket Sunday night, Oct. 8, 1916. She had been continued in the service between St. Johns and New York, but since the United States entered the war her movements had not been giv- en publicity.
 The Florizel sailed from here at o'clock last night with a large num- Der of passengers and a cargo which included 10,500 barrels of dry codfish and herring for New York and 1900 barrels for Halifax, her only port of call between St. Johns and New York. The ship herself was valued at $1,- 100000
 A blizzard was brewing when she left and it grew worse toward mid night, but abated in the early morn ing hours. The Florizel would have had to proceed southward along the coast toward Cape Race, about 60 miles distant. Mariners here think she probably put her head seaward to ride out the storm, and that when the wind moderated toward morning her commander, thinking he had passed south of Cape Race, turned westward.

Summer Furniture

Do away with that stuffy heavy, creaky old
porch furniture and come to our summer gar
den on the third floor and see how inexpensive
~ you can replace it. Staunch, lasting rustic
cedar, which suggests the cool Of forest glade,
where even at midday the summer sun never
penetfates.
Then come to "Reedland" see the deeply
cheerily, cushioned luxurious chairs. See the
chummy little table and chair sets for the
breakfast rooms See the big, luxurious swings
in which summers gentle breezes may be
famed into cooling blasts.
Least expensive though very attractive
porch furniture is ours, of maple with cane
seats. Light weight but strongly joined rock
ers with and without arms. Some have shaped
Slated backs, others have more resultant woven
cane backs. For very modest sum you can
completely outfit your porch with this prac-
teal furniture.
And how about porch shades? Your porch
really isn't the comfortable place it should be
without them. Our porch shades are made of
narrow strips of oak, woven together with fish
net cord. Between each strip of oak there is a
space through which the fresh breezes Of sum-
ner come unhindered But because of their
unique construction, the sun (not a single
ray) can not trickle through. Sd Floor
