NO COMPROMISE PEACE

The greatest conflict in the history
of nations is being fought to deter
mine the destiny Of the world, de-
clared p. g. Holden of Illinois in a
recent address. He said Americans
are fighting for the rights of human
| ity. He said America is not in this
war for conquest of lands, for m
dustries, for commercialism, but for
the safety liberty and well being of
the people of the world. He said il
would be a violation Of the principles
and honor of America and dis
grace to her people to give the lives
of Americans in No Mans Land for
compromise peace with Germany.
This is the Holden slogan:
When Germany cries, Owe want
peace
Let us remember the Lusitania.
Let us remember Belgium.
Let us remember the blood of Po-
land and Russia.
Let us remember the millions of
lives that have already been given
by England, France and Italy.
Let us remember our own boys
who have given and are still giving
their lives in this great struggle
and all this-for what9
A Compromise peace7
Let there be no compromise peace
no premature peace-no peace
without a crushed Prussianism and a
repentent Germany. Such a peace
would be a violation of American
principles. 1t would be a retreat of
the flag. We must not let Germany
us into inaction by her
treacherous peace talk. We shall not
give the lives of our boys for a dis
honorable peace. No peace should be
entered into or even discussed until
it is made absolutely impossible for
Germany to repeat her offense
against humanity. Let us fight ~the
next war now.
On to Berlin!
There is no compromise peace.
There is to be no negotiated peace.
There is to be an unconditional
surrender.
There is to be an abdication on
the part Of Prussian autOcracy.
There is to be withdrawal of Prus-
sian armies from all invaded lands.
There is to be a made-in- America |
peace dictated by the American gov
and agreed upon by the rep
of the German people.

SCANDAL

The wind just breathed it to the pine
Who shook her head and sighed,
And then she told it to the oak,
Who said the wind had lied,
But, all the same she told the ash,
Who told the willow tree,
And so it passed along the line
Until it same to lie.
l heard it from a speckled trout,
Who had it from the pool,
And this is how the story ran
Last night the moon was full!

ENGLISH WRITER. AND SURVIVOR IF
 MONS, IN CITY
Guy Manners Says There Need Be No Fear of Out
 come of the War.

Guy Manners. English poet and writer, arrived in Pine Bluff yester- day, accompanied by his sister and his little daughter. They are lectur- Ing ln the United States, and were at Fort Smith Tuesday, They have ar ranged for lecture at Little Rock.
 MT. Manners speaks Interestingly of his experience in the English army, and particularly of the battle of Mons, where he was wounded
 We were only little handful who went into Belgium in the attempt to stop the steam roller of Germany" he said. We have sacrificed every thing for the cause, and the only req son we did not sacrifice more is be- cause we didn't have more
 There need be no fear of the ulti- mate outcome,' he continued. "Un- less-ah. there's the word. unless. We are going to obliterate that sin ister word. It must have no signifi- canoe in the vocabulary of the allies Therefore, there shall be no unless.
 "COncentratiOn, conservation, na- tional and allied unity: a supreme willingness to everlastingly pay a complete desire to carry as much of the burden as. we can possibly stand under; work. save. plan! get. do these things harmoniously and the game belongs to us.
 Tt is a duty and a privilege to put Germany out of commission. To cripple her so she will cease to ever be an international menace.
 After she is crippled the logical next thing to do is to prove to her that our ideals are higher and "reater than her own. Germany may be able to physically hold us for sometime tn come; but gradually and surely she will he weakened by the concentrated efforts of America and her allies. Germany need pray for no miracle through which she may hope to set up her government in London, Washing ton, Paris or Rome. It may possibly cost the allies every dollar they pos sess. It may mean lives and untold suffering; but the splendid manhood at the front. backed up by the equally splendid manhood and more than splendid womanhood of the allies will carry on the game to the bitter end, and unto us victory shall be granted.

a "smileage boOk' from you and told me about writing you for statistics On the state of Arkansas and of your re- ply I wish to thank you for both and feel sure that I shall enjoy the shows and the smiles, but we appre ciate the information even more, for we have been having it round and round with men from other states. We are now using as pointers that Arkansas is third in cotton and sec ond in rice. holds the largest pine mill in any state, the only diamond mine in the United States, a spring town of international reputation, the largest individual cotton planter in the world and produces the best ap- pies to be found, together with the facts that she is the proud possessor 0 fthe largest peach orchard in the union and that 90 per cent of the bauXite in the United States comes from that state.
 We'll, Mr. Bloom. to say the least of it, for the past two weeks we have made many man sorry he has not been that way in time past and re solve that when the war is over, he shall be Arkansas bound"

Arkansas Ammunition is Used
 With Telling Effect by Soldiers
Local Patriots Rout Scoffers With Hard Facts and Claim That Many of Their Comrades Will Be Arkansas
 Bound'' After Return From Trenches

Reinforced with ammunition in the form of data supplied by Secretary E. B. Bloom two local soldier boys have utterly routed sundry disciples of Opie Reid and other joke-smiths, who have seen Arkansas only as the butt of their oi1t-of-date humor. State patriots as we'll as nation-patriots, these young men resented the laugh ing allusions to their native state by their comrades and for long time put up, as they said, a losing fight against odds in efforts to make the scoffers see Arkansas as she is. Fin ally one of the young men, William Thompkins, formerly employed by Fox Brothers wrote to MT. Bloom asking for data on Arkansas that they could use in their arguments. Mir. Bloom supplied them with a quantity of sta tstics he had at the Chamber of Com merce office, and wrote Mir. Thomp- kins a letter giving him more facts and congratulating him on his fight.
 The sequel to this correspondence came the other day in the form of a letter from the other loyal Arkansan, giving news of complete victory. The letter follows:

TO THE LIMIT

~ HERE is a great similar
VI ity between the Ameri-
can spirit of 1776 and the
war aims of the United States
and the allies today.
The colonists resented the
efforts of the mother country
to tax them and govern them
without giving them represen-
tation. The British autocracy
of that day sought to impose
despotism; the colonists de-
manded democracy.
Under a power mad mon
arch Germany is trying to do
to the whole world what
George III tried to do to Am
erica LAP years ago. The kai-
ser believes in force and subju-
CATION. He wants to impose
Prussian rule upon the world
by means of the sword and the
bayonet. German principles
and desires as set forth by their
foremost leaders make these
things perfectly clear. Ger
many started a war of conquest
and has at all times been wag-
ing a war of conquest. Any
statements to the contrary are
but falsehoods perpetrated to
confuse and deceive. Russia
and Belgium give unquestioned
proof of Teuton purposes.
Now as in 1776 the Ameri-
can people fight for democracy
and freedom. We fight for the
right of self government for
ourselves and for the world.
We fight to make existence
safe for nations that believe in
self government and principles
of fair dealing as opposed to
rule by autocracy based on
force.
Our forefathers who drew
the sword in 1776 took dan
gerous chances. They were
