Cadet Party Asks Expeditionary Force to Expel Invaders Cadet Party Composed of Con- stitutiOnal Democrats.

Washington, June 11.-An appeal to the United States and the allies to send an expeditionary force to Russia to expel the German invaders, for warded by the central committee of the Cadet party in Russia, was trans mitted to the State Department today by the Russian embassy. It is asked that the expedition, if sent, be put under international control to guaran- tee the rights of Russia.
 The Cadet party, as it is popularly called, is composed of the Constitu- tional Democrats, who were first in power after the overthrow of the Romanoff dynasty. It was removed from power by the Bolsheviki.
 The message of the Constitutional Democrats declares the situation in which Russia has been placed by the terms of the Brest-Litovsk treaty only can be ameliorated by the active aid of the allies. The advance of the German armies, it is declared, other

BIC NAVAL FIGHT IN NEAR FUTURE
 IS POSSIBILITY
Germany May Risk Sea Fight as Last ResOrt-Grand Fleet is Raedy-Nayal Men Anxious for Battle.

Washington, June 11.-Further evil dence that Germany, in it's efforts to end the war this summer, is planning to support it's land offensive by send ing its high seas forces against the combined British and American grand fleet, is given in an official dispatch from Switzerland.
 "A. telegram of an official nature" says the dispatch, lis being spread broadcast in Germany, which says that the German admiralty is consid- ering big naval offensive. Orders are supposed to have been given to keep the whole fleet in readiness and certain number of naval officers of high rank have been hurriedly re- called from Switzerland and other neutral countries where they have been spending their leave.
 "The Kieler Zeitung speaks of ex- traordinary activity in the ports and the Hamburg Post publishes an inter- view with Admiral von Tirpitz, who was asked if Germany was in a posi- tion to measure herself with the En- glish fleet. The admiral naturally re- piled in the affirmative, saying that after their land forces have pushed the French and English back on the other side of Paris, it would be the turn of the kaiser's boats to drive the English off the high seas"
 Both in Washington and in the al lied capitals German sea offensive on grand scale long has been re- garded as a possibility and appear ance of the Teutonic fleet in the North Sea at any time would not be unex- pected. Rear Admiral Gleaves said in the public address not long ago that word had come to the British fleet that the Germans at last were ready for the supreme test.
 If the battle comes the American naval forces will play their part. American dreadnaughts under Ad- miral Hugh Rodman joined the Brit ish fleet some time ago and Admiral Geavles, in his recent address, said that when Admiral Beatty, command ing the British grand sea forces, heard that the Germans were coming, he assigned the American ships promi- nent place in the line.
 American naval forces are no less anxious for finish fight with the enemy than are the British. And in all allied quarters there is supreme confidence of the outcome. Once the two fleets come to grips, officials are certain that the Germans will be de- cisively defeated.

French Headquarters in France, June 1.-The enemy succeeded, at an immense cost, in pushing his advance from mile to three miles deeper into the allied front yesterday. At Mar queglise, the southernmost point of the salient, he was about seven miles from his starting point.
 The fighting was almost unprece- dented in fury yesterday. The Ger mans, continuing to attack in com pact masses, were moved down by the allied gun fire. Wave succeeded wave in the attack, and when position is finally taken by the enemy it is ire quentiy promptly retaken by the French. In these counter attacks the French invariably find the ground lit tered with German dead, the bodies often lying in heaps.
 The Germans, it is estimated, had used between 20 and 30 divisions up until last night. As the enemy's ad- vance is slow, he is able to bring up his light artillery, while the heavier guns are still being fired from their old positions.
 The artillery strength of the two armies is almost equal, although the gun fire of the French is more effec- tive because the French are more fa- miliar with the ground. The fierce- ness of the fighting and the infexible determination with which the enemy accepts his shocking losses indicate that he is determined to continue until complete victory or complete exhaus- tion ensues in the decisive battle of the year.
 With the French Army in France, June 1.-The strongest effort made by the Germans in the course of last night and this morning in their new offensive was in the direction of the railroad connecting Estrees-St Denis and Montdidier. The Germans met with such resistance that they re- nounced for the moment their attempt in this region.
 Negro troops, supported by entente allied tanks, which did great execu- tion, delivered brilliant counter at tack in this vicinity and recaptured the forest running southwest of Mar queglise.

HOT SPRING COUUNY BOY
 IS BACK FROM FRANCE

At the time when Malvern folks were mailing Christmas packages to their soldier boys in France, the local postofice made up comfortable kit of smokes" and mailed same to H. E. Thompson, Hot Spring County boy who was at the time with the 10th. Engineers somewhere in France"
 A letter was received yesterday by the Postmaster acknowledging re- ceipt of the parcel and thanking the boys for same, and also conveying the information that he (Thompson) had been honorably discharged and is on his way home. His letter, which follows, wifi be very interesting to his relatives and friends in this coun- ty:
 New York. March 8, 1918. Postmaster, Malvern, Arkansas.
 Dear Sir:-I want to thank you and the boys in the Postoffice for the tobacco you sent me when I was in France. l am in New York City now awaiting medical discharge after 6 months of foreign service, good part of which time I spent in the hos pital with the spinal miningitis, of which have not recovered yet.
 France is nice country and I was we'll satified and asked the doctors not to send me back, but I had to come, anyway. Guess I will be at home in few days.

WORD ABOUT THE
 UNION PRAYER MEETINGS
Editor Daily Record:

Editor Daily Record:
 l Will you permit me to say a few words in your paper about the U. nion Prayer Meetings on Thursday nights? Several weeks ago, at the suggestion of noble Christian wom- an, who feels deeply for the boys who have been called into the service of our country, these Union meetings were inaugurated for the purpose of praying for those boys, and the God 1 if consistent with His will, would bring the war to speedy end. It seems, however, that only about a score of the people of Malvern have any interest in the matter at all. If the people care anything for the boys who have been called to fight for their homes, if the united prayer of Christian people means anything at the Throne of God, then it follows that ALL the Christian people of Malvern should attend these meet Iings. We are taking things easy, with very little conception of the fact that we are. in great WAR, and that many of our boys and men will never come back to us. Whether the victory viii be ours or not, the su- preme concern of every Christian should be the spiritual welfare of those men and boys. The promise has been given us and we should CLAIM IT. It is all right to will ingly give your boy to fight, to be patriotic. But, if your boy should never come back. to you, should be killed in battle, the consolation that will keep you from despair will be that he was Christian.
 We are too lukewarm. We are told that all France is in mourning; that the churches lover there" are crowded. But we continue our buy ing and selling; out eating and drink ing, actually jeering at the thought that any great harm can come to us. It is said that the Government at Washington is preparing for along war TT IS GOING TO COME HOME TO US, and there will be mourning here just as in England and France. It will be terrible .to sorrow as they do who have no hope"
 Tomorrow night at the First Bap- tist Church the question will be de- cided as to whether we care enough for our boys to meet and pray for them or not. Whether the Union Meetings shall continue I am not going to make any appeal The cause itself should be appeal suffici- ent. If the Christian people of Nal vern want the Union Prayer Meet ing let them come out and say so tomorrow night. If they care little or nothing for the SOULS OF THEIR BOYS let them tell the boys so. It will help them to fight.
 Yours very truly,
 c. P. Bridewell.
