After looking around Greenville. Jeff decided he wouldn't invest, that he'd rather work for wages in this town than be boss in Greenville, Jaff admits that he believes Pine

 New York deserves first place, but personally, he prefers Pine Bluff.
 Jeff, Greek by birth, intends to become an American citizen as soon as ne is old enough to declare in tention. Those who know him pre- dict that he'll make a good citizen
 because his habits are exemplary and his ideals high. Tho thousands of miles from his parents, Jeff hasn't forgotten the lessons ne learned from his father and mother. He believes gambling is wrong. and that no self respecting boy will frequent bawdy houses. He is ambitious and anx- ious to learn, and he's thrifty.

INTERVENTION IN RUSSIA.

The United States has undertaken
to do for Russia what she did for
Cuba and what she would have liked
to do for Mexico. In this undertaking
she will be aided by the entente allies
and Japan. American soldiers have
been landed at opposite ends of the
great country. thousands of miles
apart, while British forces have ap-
peared IN the middle, on the shores of
the Caspian sea.
News that the allied troops in ST.
IBERIA are in touch with the Czecho-
Slovak forces comes as a quick and
gratifying response to the decision to
give encouragement and protection to
that patriotic movement, a decision
that has promptly taken form
and substance with its acceptance by
President Wilson in behalf of the
United States. 1t is military inter-
vention to the extent only that 1t con-
tributes security and to Rus

an expedition empowered to extend

The foundation for this great change
