OPIUM RING IS
 BEING ROUNDED
 UP BY CUSTOMS

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, May 10.- In the arrest of one man by customs officers and the issuance of warrants for the arrest of three others, the existence of an alleged conspiracy to ship wholesale quantities of opium and other contraband drugs into San Francisco from Honolulu and Orient al countries was revealed today.
 The federal authorities have long suspected that a gang of smuggleH had been importing various contra band drugs into San Francisco. After months of gathering evidence by piecemeal they located large caches of the drugs in Honolulu and along the Pacific coast At least forty thousand. dollars worth of cocaine and opium was seized by the au- thorities in their raid today.
 It is thought that the arrest made today, and the issuance of the war rants for the arrest of three men, will have successfully broken up the smuggling ring. Startling disclosures are expected at any time, as it E intimated that some prominent men in shipping circles may be impli- cated

 ARBITRATED

WASHINGTON. D. C.. May 10-- The national war labor board today considered the complaints of the Commercial Telegraphers' Union of America that the Western Union and Postal Telegraph companies are discharging operators throughout the country because of their union affli. ations. At the end of the discussion it was decided by the board to turn the matter over to W. H. Taft and Frank Walsh, joint chairmen of the board, for mediation between the men and their employers.
 This mediation will be undertaken immediately, and the operators de- clare that they will be perfectly sat isfied with any arrangements which the mediators can make. All they desire is an opportunity to be al lowed to organize and maintain their union, declaring that they had never considered calling strike as long as the war is in progress.

CLOSE
 GERMAN BASE
 OF OPERATIONS

LONDON. May 10.-The German fectively blocked last night during a surprise raid by the British naval forces. The obsolete British cruiser Vindictive, having been filled with concrete, was sunk across the Os. tend harbor entrance
 The British naval forces which sue cessfully bottled up the German sub. marine base at Zeebrugge on April 23, last night succeeded in complete ly blocking the entrance to the Os- tend harbor. The British cruiser Nindictive. which had been used in landing storming parties during the raid on Zeebrugge harbor. where great damage was inflicted by the British naval forces. was filled with concrete and then lowed into the channel of Ostend harbor. The Brit ish sailors succeeded in sinking the vessel across the channel with but few casualties, the loss of one motor boat only being reported.
 The blocking of the harbors of Ostend and Zeebrugge will necessi tate the Germans installing a sub marine base at some more unfavor. able port along the North sea coast This will greatly hinder their opera tions in the North sea and English Channel and lessen greatly the Ger man submarine activities along the English coast.
 GERMAN REPORT
 BERLIN. May 10.-The German ad miralty issued an official statement this afternoon absolutely denying that the British raiders on Ostend last night succeeded in blocking the submarine channel at that point The admiralty states: "The British attempt to blockade the harbor al Ostend was total failure The old cruiser which was used as block ship was entirely battered to pieces and now lies aground before the barbor, outside of navigation. The channel and entrance to the harbor are quite free"
 PARTIAL SUCCESS
 LONDON. May 10.-Latest reports Of the raid conducted last night against the German submarine base at Ostend by the minor British naval forces state that the channel has not been completely blocked, as was at first thought to have been done Aerial photographs show that the channel is only partially obstructed
 The Press Association states that the Vindictive lies at an angle not effectively blocking the channel, but serving very useful purpose. A partial and very serious blockade has been achieved Under conditions of the tide and sitting of sand around the wrecked vessel, the ob. struction will be increased within a very short time. The British are highly elated over the success which was accomplished.

BORCLUM FOUND
 INTERESTED IN
 AIRCRAFT FIRM

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 10.- It is announced today by the gov ernment investigators who are con iucting the inquiry into the old air craft production board, that they have possession of official documents which show conclusively that Gutzon Borglum. the famous sculptor, insti- gated his charges against the pro- duction board from purely personal motives.
 These documents prove beyond a doubt that at the time, Borglum made his charges against the air craft production board, he was inti- mately connected with the negotia- tions for the establishment of new aircraft producing corporation as a silent partner This evidence of Borglums mercenary motives will. no doubt, tend to greatly detract from the evidence furnished by him in substantiation of his charges. Not "lluStdHuiuS litlS ulstioouiN, iio" CT. all charges filed against the for mer aircraft production board will be thoroughly investigated by those conducting the inquiry.
 DENIES CHARGES
 NEW YORK, May 10.-Interviewed tonight regarding the statement is sued today from Washington that he was connected with proposed aircraft production company, Gutzon Borglum characterized these charges as scurrilous and declared that it was frame-up to let the guilty of ficials get out from under. He says that he is in a position to refute the charges and will do so at the proper time, as we'll as prove all the chars- es which he made regarding the in efficiency of the aircraft production board.

In pursuance of the war plans of the Kaiser and the Pan Germans who in- Spired him and probobly used him as the agent of their ambitions, the world was beseiged by armies of Prussian spies, advancing Pruss:an interests and doing Prussia's work everywhere. Not a nation escaped theis infamous inva- sion.
 The Kaiser's brother, Prince Henry, was sent to the United States ostensi- ply to assist in the launching of the imperial yacht, in reality to rekindle among Americans of German decent their Vaterland's liebe and organize them into German Societies that could be directed from Berlin to suit the exi- gencies of the imperial policy.
 At least 80,000 Germans were turned lose upon Spain, and probably quarter pf a million upon England. France was over run with them. There was no occupation, calling or industry in which they did not make their way They swarmed over South America, over the near East and the Far East, and all of them were card indexed for the uses of Berlin.

 Let there be no mistake about it, we are fighting a new war of inde- pendence, and it is as truly war of independence as that which our an- cestors fought under Washington from 1776 to 17S3.

It is @ diff ferent kind of slavery from that which Lincoln emancipatSd the Republic, but slavery it is the slavery of White to White, which the military caste of Prussia has sought to impose upon all fertilization.

SUGAR RATIONING
 PLAN FOR AUGUST

Little Rock, Ark, July 31-
 The rationing plan for sugar for August will go into effect tomorrow. The allotment has been reduced all over the United States to two pounds per month per person. Hotels and ali oth- CT public eating places will be reduced to two pounds per nine ty meals. Manufacturers of less essentials, such as candy and soft drinks, will be unable to procure any high grade sugar whatever. They vii have to use what is known as seconds and thirds" and Arkansas jobbers are striving to get that class of sugar into the state from Louis jana.
 The total allotment of sugar for Arkansas during August is 3,895, ,000 pounds. That amount is exactly 1,667,0O pounds less than given the state in July. The utmost conservation is demand ed of the people, states an an- nouncement from State Food Administrator Hamp Williams.
 Use less sugar and help win the war.

CAMP PIKE NOTES
By ERWIN FUNK Camp Publicity Director
Camp Pike, Ark.
 August 5, 1918.

Selective draft men who enter ed Camp Pike the last week or two cannot say they were not given a warm welcome. We have experienced the hottest and dust fest spell of the summer season, and right on top of the discorl- forts occasioned by the weather came a water shortage, occas- toned by a break down in the city pumping plant in Little Rock. The first day it was ne- cessary to haul the water to the camp by trucks and then, with the aid of a fire engine fror1 the city, pump it into the reser- voirs. Then water trains were inaugurated and the camp kept fully supplied, as to actual needs but there has been none to waste Guards and inspectors were placed on the job and the camp has been conserving it's water supply in the latest military style. There is no danger now.
 One unfortunate experience with the new men that seems to have happened here for the first time was the discovery that en- listed men in the camp were slipping into the quarantine areas and selling Y. M. c. A. stationary, both envelopes and note heads They also sold stamps and other articles at greatly advanced prices, and in several instances received mon- ey with which to buy stamps and then decamped. Some of the men were told the stamps would be left for them at the nearest 'Y" building. It has been difficult to trace the impos- ters because of the fact that to the new rockies, all enlisted men in uniform looy pretty much alike. It only lasted a day or two and then strict company or ders made such thieving an inn possibility.

 And how to string the bean, To wash the dishes, clean the pans,

 And never lose my life, I'll know enough of house work, To make a darn good wife. While a majority of the sol diers and folks at home are &C., quainted with the provisions of the postal and war ruling which prevents the sending of parcel post packages to men with the American Expeditionary Forces abroad, except upon receipt of a request from the soldier himself which has been endorsed by an officer not below the rank of a major or his representative, it is possible that many people do not know this ruling does not apply to men in the navy. No restrictions have as yet been placed upon packages sent to men on board our naval vessels, whether at home or abroad, if sent in care of the postmaster 'of New York City.
