 The spirit of Arkansas is new and all-conquering spirit which will not expend itself in this war. When peace is established that there may he no war. When the munition plans are de- voted to the industries of peace, when the hundred thousand men, or all but an immortal and valient few, re- turn to their homeland in triumph, when the people of the state realize that they have invested in the safest securities on earth millions of dollars as reserve, when the world will de- mand as never before the inexhaust- ible supply of raw materials within our borders-then will the Arkansas spirit manifest itself as never before.
 Arkansas has not been self-seek- CT in this emergency. It has only done it's duty, as all loyal citizens of the nation have been expected, and have done. But reflex influence has come from it that is bearing rich fruit in the estimation in which Arkansas is held by the people of other states, particularly fthe North and East, where the state has been misrepres ented and misunderstood.
 "The Spirit of Arkansas" has come, and it is new, virile, life e-giving, up- lifting spirit, with which all are catch ing step.

MURDERoUs, RUSSIANS.


 A state of anarchy and murder ex ists in Petrograd and Moscow, two of the largest cities in the Russian em- pire. The Bolsheviki, the government established by Germany but. not ac- cepted by the majority of the Rus sian citizen in it's desperation has att tempted to bolster up it's establish ment by mailed fist" :.
 Recent defeats of the Germans in France and the landing of Allied troops at Archangel and other north Russia points have caused the Rus sian populace to take notice. Hun agents are finding it difficult to inti- midate the entire population. In anger and chagrin the Bolsheviki are run ming amuck and with high hand. At tempting the old system of German policy to instill fear into the hearts of the people. However, with aid in the shape of Allied troops, on Rus sian soil, the downtrodden and abused populace is taking advantage and the Bolsheviki are net making great head way, It is true the cripples, aged and children may be intimidated. The brawn of the nation sees the light and are fighting back.
 All this crime is carried on by the Bolsheviki headed by Trotsky under the guise of expressing revolution He need not be deceived for the Rus sians once with an organized army and with assistance of stable and sea. soned troops may possibly become a country worth reckoning with in the final outcome of the conglomera. tion now existing in this torn and split up empire.

 RUSSIA OPTICAL
 B0lShEVIkI RULE Bolshevik Unable to Change Rule Which Is Handed Down to Them.
By The Associated Press.

Stockholm, Wednesday, Sept. H.. Graft always has been the bane or Russian official life and BolsheviKl rule has not been able to cure ths evil.
 On the contrary, says observers ot the Russian political situation, who have arrived here from Moscow the Bolsheviki have unwittingly .encour- aged corruption among the officials by paying salaries insufficient to cov- CT bare living expenses.
 They do that, not only to save mon- ey for the depleted national treasury, but on the theory that the Bolshevikl work not merely for money, but for the love of their ideal. :,
 While such theory may hold good with the Bolsheviki of the ideal type and there are few such-a great majority of the officials are of the Bolsheviki only to the extent of the benefit which can be deprived from protesting loyalty to the cause. To these the monthly salary of 600 or 500 rubles usually paid to officials of the second and third classes-na- tional commissaries and members of the central executive received hun dred rubles, the commissiars getting one hundred rubles additional for each child is insufficient to buy bread for a family.
 It is small wonder that such off cials are not particular regarding ways of earning more on the side which, sometimes amounts to many times their salary.
 It is true the government punishes such offenders severely, and even exc cutes officials for footing the public funds or taking bribes, but their num- Der is so large and the government has so many weightier problems that corruption and speculation reign sup reme in all the government depart ments.
 Another i'll of the old Russian re- gime greatly aggravated by the pres ent disorganization is idleness.
 The inability of the government to improve transportation, increase the food supply and introduce a semblance of order into the general chaos is not due so much to the lack ftrained men in the various departments as to their reluctance to do a days work.
 The chief of an important govern ment, department which employs sev- eral hundred people, told the Associat- ed Press that only few of these and typists performed their work con- scientously and that the majority smoke cigarettes, drink tea and talk most of the time.

 Boston, Sept. 12-Members of the Boston American league baseball team, winners of the 1918 worlds championship, received $2,S37.45 to- day as their share of the gate receipts from the worlds series.
 Manager Edward Barrow and the 14 Boston regulars were each given $1,1 ,1OS.45, while infielder Fred Thomas who obtained furlough from the Great Lakes Training station to play for the Red Sox, was voted $750. Various sums were given to other players now in war service, the train
 CTS, ground-keepers and others. The chick did not include ten per cent, which it had been voted to do- nate to charitable organizations and the players instructed Captain Harry Hooper to obtain the amount from the commission and distribute it among Boston war charities.

EVERY ONE ON HONOR ROLL.

Reports from turnout the United States and in the State of Arkansas from the registration of over thirteen million American citizens who are now subject to military call, or re- quired by the government are to the effect that the registration exceeded anticipatations. It is believed practi- cally every man in the United States fulfilled his duty to the country that gives him protection and sutenance.
 In Pine Bluff and Jefferson coun- try registrations boards were busy from the opening hour until late in the evening. When the registrants are tabulated and an accounting taken, it is believed that very few, if any slack CTS will be detected. This section of the country proved it's loyalty as an entirety yesterday. The honor roll is possibly one hundred percent, or at least near this mark.
 However, if it is found there were some who attempted to evade or fail ed to register it will not be a reflect ion on the city, county or country but will be a smirch upon that persons character and of his family. Ignorance will not be taken as excuse. The gov ernment intends to see that every one | is given a fair chance but willful eva. sion or an unwillingness of any one to register will arouse the indignation of the public and the ire of Uncle Sam

FEAR 0f MfXICANS IN UNITED STATES THEY BE DRAFTED Is Allayed By Communica- tion to Ambassador at
 Mexico City.
By Associated Press.

Washington, Sept. 13.-To allay fears of Mexican citizens that they will be caught in the military draft if they come to this country, tele- gram was sent today to Ambassador Fletcher at Mexico City by Secretary of State Lansing quoting ruling of Provost Marshal General Crowder as to the precise operation of the sell ective service law. The telegram fol- lows:
 "Following is the ruling of Septem- Der 10 of the provost marshal general on the selective draft law as amend ed:
 "It will be necessary for all Mexi- can citizens between the ages of IS and 45 years who are in the United States on September 12, to present themselves for registration on that day. A Mexican citizen who comes to the United States after September 12 is not required to register unless he declares his intention to become a citizen of the United States or un- less a later proclamation shall re- quire the registration of persons of his age in the United States.
 "'Under the selective service law and regulations, any nOn-declarant Mexican citizen who registers may be exempted from performing military duty in the forces of the United Sta tes unles he valves his right there to or neglects to return his question naire and in the latter event, local boards are authorized under the reg ulations to consider the case for such exemption, notwithstanding the regis trants failure to make claim there tOfOre.
 "'Under recent act of congress any declarant Mexican citizen may be relieved from liability to military service upon filing an affidavit with drawing his intention to become q citizen of the United States and claim ing such relief from liability to ml- -litary service.
