INSURANCE COMPANIES
 HAVE SUCCESSFUL YEAR

Little Rock, May 1.-The fire in- surance companies operating in Ar kansas enjoyed an unusually success full year in 1917.
 The loss ratio for the year was 36.11, as compared with ratio of 56.55 for the United States, and 6O.16 for 1916. There are only three other years since 1881 that are lower than the 1917 ratio. The highest loss ratio recorded is 125.0S in 1913, and the next highest is 100.S in 1915.
 There are BIO insurance companies and societies of all kinds operating in the state. They received from Arkan- sas policy holders total of $14,SO2,- 256, and paid back to policy holders S7,061 SAP, the ratio of return on each dollar being 41 cents.

uncertainty concerning supplies from Ukraine.
 The official statement follows:
 Section An Picardy, in Lor- raine, hostile raids were repulsed with loss to the enemy in killed and wound ed. In the Woevre there was continu- ous aerial activity, our planes engag- ing successfully in several encounters.
 Section B-Early this morning in the Lorraine sector a strong enemy patrol of 20 to 25 men attempted raid on one of our advanced positions. The raid was a complete failure and the enemy in retreating left one of their number dead in our trench.
 "Last evening north of Foul Lieut.. Rickenbacher, flying at five thousand meters was pursuing an Albatross type machine when a second machine came between them. Lieut. Ricken- bacher struck the tail of the second machine taking it off and apparently forcing the hostile plane down out of control. Although his own machine was badly damaged, he succeeded in returning safely to his own lines.
 "At about the same time, Captain Peterson attacked two-seated ma- chine signalled to him in the vicinity of St. Mihiel, the enemy machine ap- parently falling in a nose dive.
 'Lieut. Chambers, at about the same time, engaged two hostile ma chimes, one of which was seen to fall. The other was pursued without result.
 "The German wireless press of May IT, announces that in view of the un- certainty concerning supplies from Ukraine, the bread ration will be re- duced from POO to 160 grams, from June 16."

w. T. HOOD, JR., WRITES
 FROM BEAUMONT, TEXAS

Beaumont, Texas, May IA, 1918. The Nevada News,
 Dear Friends:- I'm a subscriber to The Nevada News; enjoy reading the news of Arkansas. I want to tell you few things about Texas.
 We are here fighting mosquitoes and building large steam ships to carry our boys and food across the deep blue sea to fight for our rights and our freedom.
 Who can give more or offer more than these brave boys are doing? If it takes their lives to get peace, they would say, take it. We ought to help these brave young men to win this war; they have left fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters. If these men can do this, what can we do to help win this war? We can grow more wheat, corn, potatoes, meat, etc. We can eat more corn-bread and let our boys and our allies have the wheat.
 We can buy Liberty Bonds, we can build ships, we can win this war if we all come together as one and say we are going to lick the kaiser. Every man, woman, boy and girl can do something for there is work for all to do to help win. Listen what Texas is doing: they are without flour for about 40 days and maybe longer; buy ing Liberty Bonds, Thrift Stamps; giving to the Red Cross; the fire station boys are knitting for the sol diers every spare moment they have, and the skilled workmen are build ing large wooden ships and the wo- men and spinning. If the Arkansas people could see how hard the girls on the shipyards are working to help win the war, they would say, can do more and will. These girls wear their fine silk dresses, but when they get into the shipyards they put on blue overalls, blue shirts, caps, and you would say there's fine looking young man, bnt not so, it's just a 100 per cent American girl who is patriotic; girls who do not have to work, but want to help build ships to carry our boys and food to France These girls get just as black and greasy as the men do.
 Beaumont is town of 30,000 popu lation; has 6 shipyards; has bought over million dollars worth of Bonds in the 1st and 2nd loans, and in the third load they bought over ? million dollars more.
 Yours truly,
 w. T. HOOD, JR.

PRESCOTT CHAUTAUQUA

The sale of season tickets for the Prescott Chautauqua, which begins June 4th, has been opened by the Park and School Improvement Asso- citations, and large number of tickets already have been sold. The ladies of these two associations expect to realize considerable profit from hand ling the Chautauqua, and they will only sell S70O.00 worth of season tick cts in advance, after which only sim gle admissions will be available. Sea- son tickets are $200 for adults and S100 for children under twelve years of age. Single admissions to the ten entertainments amount to $4.00 for adults and $2.10 for children, there fore there will be quite a scramble to secure season tickets, and those who do not procure them early, will be disappointed.

PAN AMERICAN FEDERATION
 OF LABOR PROPOSED
GEORGE L. BERRY RECOMMEND ED THAT WAR PROGRAM OF UNloNIsTS IN ALLIED COUN-
 TRIES BE REJECTED.

St Paul, Minn, June t5.-Discus soin of the allied war aims late to- day occupied the attention of the com mittee on foreign relations of the American Federation of Labor. which Is holding it's annual convention here
 George D. Berry member of the American Labor Mission. which re gently reported it's findings to the convention, urged that the war pro gram of unionists in allied countries be rejected by the foreign relations committee. The plans of European unionists, it is said, embrace the war aims of President Wilson but go a step further by providing for a meet ing with union representatives, and socialists of the central powers.
 It was said on good authority that the federation's position of refusing to meet representatives of enemy countries would be reaffirmed when i the subject is placed before the con yention. Recommendation that a Pan American federation of labor be established to promote unity of action in labor activities in North America and charges that pro-German papers distorted their statements and inaugl- rated vicious propaganda campaign against them were features of re- port re-submitted by the Mexican la bor mission.
 The report, compiled by Chairman James Lord, John Murray and Sant- ago Iglacus of Porto Rico was unan- mously adopted.
 Members of the mission were cor dially received by President Carranza and other Mexican officials, the re- port stated, but the Mexican dip'o- mats were somewhat skeptical of the possibilities of a Pan-American fed eration were explained. President Car ranza realized that closer utilization with other countries would be of ben eft 10 MeXico's workers. according to the report.
 The report described in detail activities of German newspapers not pro- German newspapers in Mexico"
 we were cudISeu WllH dltcIHpliH to drag Mexico into the war and tha' the federation had prohibited strike in America" the report continued "r few papers in Mexico are pro-ally but they are fighting for existence
 An opinion that serious difficulties of declaring strikes Illegal also was expressed by members of the mls sion.
 In conclusion the report states that with the setting I'D of~a Pan-Ameri- can federation of labor improved con ditions would result in Mexico.
