LABOR LEADERS VISIT SLUMS

London, April 24.-Correspondence of the Associated Press.)--A "slum- ming tour" around London was one of the diversions provided for the Am erican labor delegation soon after their arrival here. The places visited were oLndon's Chinatown, several Sal vation army hospitals. and the Thorn as embankment. Under the guidance of Commander C. c. Perkins of Scotland Yard, the party went to the famous Limehouse Polie Station, where they were shown in detail the police system of registering aliens.
 They were then taken through the Chinese district, where they saw rice ground in the most primitive manner by stone turned by hand, shook hands with Chinatown's two Chinese babies, ate sweet-cake, and drank tea in the districts most pretenious Chin csc restaurant.

LAPS JAY PACT
 WITH CHINA FOR
 DEFENSE Uf EAST
Agreement Between Ori entals to Protect Peace,
 Is Claim.

Tokio, June 8.-(By the Associated
 Press. )-The official statement is
 sued by the Japanese government ex- planation of the China-Japanese mill iitary agreement declares that this
 agreement relates only to co-opera-
 tion by the two nations in defense of the peace and welfare of the Far East
 and explicitly denies various rumors to the contrary. The text of the eN- planatory statement which accompan- jed the notes exchanged between the two governments reads:
 "Having regard to the steady pene- tration of hostile influence into Rus sian territory, jeopardizing the peace and welfare of the Far East, and re- ccgnizing the imperative necessity of cooperation between Japan and China adequately to meet the experience of
 the case, the governments of the two countries, after frank interchange of views, caused the annexed notes to be exchanged on March 25 between the minister of foreign affairs and the Chinese minister at Tokic.
 "In pursuance of the purpose of subsequently sent commissioners rep resenting the imperial army and navy to Peking where they held confer ences with the authorities of the Chinese army and navy. The nego- tiations progressing smoothly two agreements were concluded, one re- lating to the navy on May 19. These agreements embody only the concrete arrangements as to the manner and conditions under which the armies and navies of the two countries are to cooperate in the common defense against the enemy on the basis of the above mentioned notes exchanged on March 25.
 "The details of the arrangements, constituting as they do, a military secret, cannot be made public but they contain no provisions other than those pertaining to the object already defined.
 Currency has been given to vari- ous rumors alleging that the agree ments contain, for instance, such stip- ulations as that the Chinese expe- dition is to be under Japanese com mand; that Japan may construct forts in Chinese territory at such places as she may choose; that Japan will take control of the Chinese railroads, ship yards and arsenals, and even that Japan will assume control of China's finances, will organize
 China's police system, will acquire the right of freely operating the Chinese mines producing matreials for the use of the arsenals, etc. Ut cannot be too emphatically stated that these and similar rumors are absolutely unfounded."

THE RED CROSS.

It is reported that Red Cross work CTS and American surgeons have been ordered not to wear their badges when on the fighting line. They make too good a target for the Huns.
 There was time in the history ot civilized war when the Red Cross was worn as badge of protection to the emmissaries of mercy. But Pots dam has changed the rules of war.
 There is dealy scientific efficiency behind the German war on the Red Cross. The general staff, it is stat ed, has estimated that the death of one American surgeon is equivalent to the death of 500 enlisted men, and the killing of one stretcher-bearer is as good as putting 16 infantrymen out of commission.
 Still, there is an old saying that they who drew the sword shall perish by the sword. The people who start ed this kind of warfare are pretty sure to be ultimately the worst suf- ferers by it. Kultur has lot to an- swer for; and there is bound to be a stern reckoning.

GOING IN FOR SILK.

In 1917, American manufacturers imported 36,3OO,OOO pounds of raw silk, valued at $19O,00O,000. This established new record, despite the fact that economy has the watchword of the year. The price of $5 pound almost double that before the war, all so established a record. The manu- factured product is estimated to have been worth about $5OO,O0O,OO0, nearly twice that of 1914; and imports of silk manufacturers for 1917 also ex- ceeded those for any previous year.
 All this indicates that, despite the preaching of economy, the American people are spending more for silk, and are buying more silk, than ever before. People may be "pinched' by the high cost of living, but apparent ly there are a goodly number who have not yet seriously felt the pinch.
 Americans have still long way to go before their requirements are fully adjusted to a world war. The other nations in the conflict have learned to strip themselves of non-essentials, that they may fight the better. We have still to go through process, for the most part. It may come hard, but the education will prove worth while in the end.
 If economy does not enforce thrift, patriotism should. But our silk sta tistics show that America is still a long way from cutting out everything but the absolute essentials.

WAR SAVINGS DAY

The campaign to obtain pledges every American to economize and put his or her savings in War Savings stamps will come to close on June 28, which has been designated as Ma tional War Savings day. Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo has appealed to all Liberty loan wn"l:e to do a'l in their power to make success of the campaign. In |. letter sent to the Liberty loan workers MT. McAdoo urges:
 T earnestly desire that Liberty loan workers shall render all asss- tance possible to war savings commit tees in this campaign. The more thoroughly the necessity for individa al saving and economy is brought home to the people of the nation the easier will be our work in future Lib erty bond issues, the more quickly and adequately can the army and navy be equipped, and the more cer- tain will be the future welfare and prosperity of our people"
 Arkansas is far behind in it's sub scription to War Savings stamps, and Jefferson is even below the av- craze for the state. A conference of all county chairmen is to be held in Little Rock this week, and plans made for speeding up" sales during the remainder of the period.
 Parents should endeavor to interest their children in War Savings stamps, not only because it is national duty to invest in these war securities, ana because Uncle Sam will pay interest on the money, but because it is un- usual opportunity to inculcate the thrift habit. It offers an incentive to save, and the saving habit, once in- culcated, means success with a big S.
