Paris. July Is.
In the excitement of the national holi
uay and attendant events Paris has not
overlooked the deep significance Of the
speech or the German Chancellor, Won
1erthng, but has been for some time
making up its mind as to the real sig
hincance of the speech The conclusion
now come to is that the speech was de-
IiNered fer the benefit of the German
people. Just as Won kuehlmann's was for
the benefit of the outside world
In view of the fact that the resirna
tlon of Won Euehlmann and the non,ina
tion Of Won Hintze as his successor nm
oouptedly caused some unea siness among
me German public, II Is felt here that
Non Hertling's sole object was to regain
the confidence of the people and reessurs
them. This was the reason for the state
ment that Won Hintze's appointn,ent
meant no change of policy. and that he
nad agreed to follow in every way III
Chancellors lead
Won Hertling's declaration is Looked
upon mere as a characterstically clever
stroke. such as might be expected FROM
MN He Is well known for tactfuIness
ana ABILITY to pacify and conciliate. The
Alnes, therefore. must not entertain any
Illusion as to his statements The OUT
standing fact is that Won Hintze has been
nominated as Foreign Secretary. and
Won Hintze Is the man of the Pan-Ger-
mans and belongs to the military party
He is known as possessing a violent and
obstinate character, and. in spite of all
Won Hertling's assurances. the chances
are that he and his policy will lead and
not be led
The second part of Won HertIinr's
speech which concerned Russia, is con-
sdered in official circles here as of even
greater Importance 1t is evident that
the German Government realizes that it's
eastern policy since the Brcst-Litovsk
treaty has been a failure and that the
anti-German elements in Russia are get
ting stronger every day.
Won HertlinE's words. it is believed
here. are a clear admission that a new
policy is being considered. which NAV
be the exact reverse of that followed up
to the present; that is to say, that an
effort to substitute order for anarchy will
replace the policy hitherto followed
Meanwhile the Allies, like the Germans.
are watching the situation and expecting
new German moves in Russia

The work room is very busy place these late August days, as our belated quota has arrived and it will require a full attend ance of all units to finish the work on time.
 Knitting will continue while wool is available.
 The value of women's work with respect to knitted garments is fully realized by the Govern ment and women are urged to continue.
 We are making sweaters at present but hope to get a ship ment of sock yarn real soon.
 In connection with canteen service we quote from a letter to Mrs. OverhoIt from Chas P. Pettus, Director of the Bureau.
 We are delighted that you are going ahead with the organ ization for the Canteen Service in your town as we feel that there is plenty of opportunity there for this service.
 When you get into the work and experience the joy and satis- faction that there is in it you will be glad that you have under taken it. ."
 Miss Ray Churchwell's applica- tion for nursing service has been accepted. She had several handicaps to overcome but he persistence won out and We feel that it is an occasion for mutual congratulations as Miss Churchill is apparently well fitted for the service.
 The Arkansas Gazette of Fri day noted the receipt of four boxes of clothing from Brinkley by the Belgian Relief Commission
 Owing to the death of Mrs. Emma Flora, there was no meet ing of Mrs. Converse's unit last Friday. Miss Minnie Pearl Flora is a member of this Unit and the sympathy of the whole organiza- ton is hers in her bereavement. !
