The suppression is growing more up
on t1S American people that the adj
ministfation has failed in its efforts
to reform it's duties toward the allies.
An attempt was recently made on the
part h both the democratic and re,
publikSn leaders to show the country
that Ne had failed in furnishing men
and Equipment for use in the support
OF tl1es allies. 1t now turns out that
thosa Charges are absolutely true, not
4 withaf landing the denials made by gov
ernmeht officials who were RESPONSE
Bile fqF the delay.
Within the last few days charges are
beings made by responsible people that
we HaEe accomplished but little or
nothing in the way of furnishing an
I arnlyland arms to support the allies in
the Struggle which they are making
against the forces of the Germans. Our
soldiers are without protection so far
7 a. aei0planeS and arms are concerned.
3 Somebody is to blame for this condi-
ton. democratic politicians are UNI
able to account for it except to say
that men who have been appointed to
\ Ofiice}have not done their full duty. If
this u true, who should know the
facts better than the president himself
upon whom this great responsibility is
y resting. The election was brought
II about by the cry that he has kept US
out Of the war and we fear that since
4 the ELECTION the Cry will be made that
he is Keeping us out OF doing all that
we cahtdo.
Thik rendition cannot continue much
& l0ngeS with the consent of the people,
and aidemand will be made that some
thing ibust be done. II we are to have
credit Tor taking part III this war we
must do our full share in winning it..
It is rot a question Of how much talk
i Ing we can dol because that asset has
been nyerworbed, but the question is
what ARE we going to do in the way
Z OF Publishing men and equipment for
carrying on the war?
Thd american people have been de-.
sdeived hnd grossly deceived by misrep-
Fascination on the part of those upon
khOnE tests the responsibilities of do.
Ing sd4ething and the facts are now
too wen known to deceive us any long
er. We have neither furnished sup
plies, men, ships or guns as we agreed
and tits no surprise that we are called
TO acdount as we are. The time for
speeches is past, and nothing but ac-
will count hereafter

Colored Women Com! ended

The local Woman's Committee,
Council of National Defense, thru
Mrs. Cass E. Jolley, secretary, have
expressed themselves as being very
much pleased with the manner the
<,ork, incidental to the inspection
Of colored children, was handled by
the negro women, last Saturday.
"The day of weighing and measur-
ing the negro babies of our city
proved very helpful and interesting"
said Mrs. Jolley. "This occasion
brought out many anxious mothers
and revealed a number of cases that
otherwise would have gone unotic-
ed and neglected. Turnout the day,
the committee of negro women in
charge, did efficient work.
"Among a number Of interesting
cases, was a baby three months old,
that stood up to be measured, the
mother holding its hand. This bah'
was perfectly normal. Another
case Of interest, was little fellow
1ur months old, whose father WEI
killed in France early this year

APPROVE BUILDING OF
 ARK KANSAS-LA. HIGHWAY Y

Little Rock, Jan. 2S.-The State Council of DefenseNyesterday approv- ed the project for the building of the Arkansas-Louisiana Highway, as a military necessity.
 The estimated cost of the highway is 100000, to be raised by assess ment in an improvement district. Grady, Lincoln county, is the northern terminus. There are two branches running south from McGehee, to the Louisiana line, one near Arkla, and the other near Kimball One lateral goes from McGehee to Arkansas City, providing an outlet to Mississippi river port, and a cross lateral con- meets Dermott and Haley. There is in all 155 miles of highly improved roadway, and in connection with that already built, there will be 233 miles of road, connecting Camp Beauregard at Monroe, La., and Camp Pike at Little Rock.
 The act creating the district was passed by the last legislature, and its validity has been sustained by the supreme court. The commissioners plans for the highway have been ap- proved in their entirety by the county courts of the five counties through which the road passes, the assess ments of benefits have been made, and the commissioners are now ready to let the contracts. It is the policy of the government to discourage the ex- penditure of large sums for work of this character that may not be of direct military value, in necessary traffic, hence the appeal to the state council
