 ON WAY TO FRANCE,

Edwin Loosley. chairman of exempt ion board No. 1 of Jefferson county, went to Little Rock yesterday to see his son, Edwin Loosley, Jr., member of the 836th Aero squadron, who is on his way to France. Young Loosley weighs about 25 pounds more than when he left Pine Bluff, is as straight as an Indian warrior, and seems just about as 1.-the and strong. He and his companions were happy, and confident. "We'll take care of Eddie," the lads companions called to MT. Loosley, add ing. And don't worry; we're all coming back"
 MT. Loosley was chief clerk of the exemption board when his sons reg istration card came up for considera- tion. What shall we do with him 2" MT. Loosley was asked. "Of course l hate to see him go, " replied the fair-minded and patriotic Loosely, "but he's eligible under the rules, and we must send him." This incident was recalled when MT. Loosley was made chairman of the board, as indi- eating that he had certainly quail fled as big enough to serve in posi- tion where the fate of men is decided.

Chicago, Feb. 25-CCorrespondence Associated Press.) )-Plans for the re construction" of soldiers who may be maimed in European trences are now so far advanced that already America is prepared to care for her crippled fighters as rapidly as they may arrive here, according to Major w.

JELLICOE STILL
 HERO TO BRITISH

London, Feb. 2.S-The elevation of Admiral Jellicoe from active serv- ice in the navy to the House of Lords has not impaired his place in the hearts of his countrymen. He is still a popular hero and, what probaly is more valued by him, is still regarded by the British navy as one of it's very great commanders. The traditions of the service bar navy man from en- gazing in any newspaper controver- sy, or any kind of debate with his critics. But Jellicoe gave his answer while speaking at charity bazaar recently. It was this:
 "A sailors training is always in the direction of making him act ands not to speak. The result of naval train ing therefore, is that the naval off, cer as rule is not able to express himself in argument, and is conse- Quently somewhat handicapped in work of administration, because the people composing the government ol the country are always trained speakers

HARMLESS LETTER MAY GIVE ENEMY
 VALUABLE DATA
Don't Write About Mill tary Matters" First Rule
 for Writers at Front.

French Front, Feb. 28.-(Corres- pondence of The Associated Press.)- "Don't write about military movements when communicating with your friends or relatives, for hundreds of sharp
 eyes are open to ferret out even the
 slightest indication that might be of use to the enemy"
 Soldiers of all nations find diff culty in following this advice of the military postal control office and feel it serious interference with their lib- erty, but time and again letters writ ten in the purest innocence have been found to contain indiscretions which may have been of the greatest impor- tance to the watchful enemy agent. For instance in the military zone oc- cupied by the British troops, where there are still many civilians, the Germans were, through their agents, able to learn from letters written by the inhabitants the positions of many batteries and of the tank parks, as vel las the approximate idea of the number of troops in the neighborhood
 The supervision by the postal control of soldiers letters prevents those in the rear from obtaining information through piecing together scraps from many quarters.
 No restriction whatever is placed on soldiers who express their personal ideas in their correspondence, wheth- CT they refer to politics Or to their commanders Or to their comrades, and they are also at liberty to write about things in connection with their service yxuloI Ioh do %1o.1 T,, fact, the control of the soldiers letter has brought to the notice of the com manders grievances of which they oth- erwise would not have learned, and in this way has led to the removal of nu merous small causes of complaint and the improvement of the soldiers lot.
 What principally is aimed at by the postal control is the prevention of leakages as to the position of military units or of dumps of materials and mu- nitions. Other information carelessly inserted in letters as to water supply troop reliefs, the organization of sec tors, the effects of enemy bombord- ments, and the losses suffered by the troip has to be suppressed, for many of the letters received by the soldiers relatives are read or repeated to friends of the family and there is thus danger of the news contained in them reaching the enemy through agents always on the watch for such items, which they may manage by some means to communicate to the other side.
 Taken altogether the postal con- trcl. of which so many soldiers are apt to complain, not only assists the authorities to prevent leagages which might be of vital hurt to the national defense, but is of enormous benefit to the troops themselves, for those in charge of the work are continually on the lookout for just grievances among the men and bringing them to the attention of the army chiefs so that they may be remedied.

"USANERS" NAME HUNS SUGGEST
 FOR AMERICANS
German Professors Say Git izens of U. s. Not En-
 titled to American

Amsterdam, Netherlands, Feb. 28.- It has occurred to a number of Ger. man professors that the citizens Ol the United States have no right to call themselves Americans because there are other Americans.
 Professor Norrenberg, who is also q Prussian privy councillor, started the ball rolling by publicly declaring that this presumption (Anmassung) on the part of the Americans to call themselves so could not be tolerated any longer, and that it was nothing short of public scandal Thereupon he evolved the idea that the United States should be known henceforth as "Usa;" an American as "Usaner and "usanisch" should be the Ameri- can way of doing things.
 Professor Penck, the new rector of Berlin University, who is regarded as the German expert on matters, "usanisch," gives the idea his pro fsesorial benison.
 Professor Sapper of StrausburS however, complains that "usaner" of- fends his aesthetic ear, and North American" or Yankee" ought to be good enough, he thinks. He suggests also the word "Vereinsstatler" (un. although he admits that the word does not trip lightly off the tongue; certainly not by people on whom it is intended to bestow it.
 Professor Sieger of Graz is of opinion that Union" israther ham, dy word, but the derivative union ist' less so, asit is liable to be con- fused with the adherents of the we'll known English political party. The view is shared by Professor Ernest von Hesse- Wartegg, who however re- frains from volunteering an alterna- tive.
 Professor Machatschek of Prague, replying to the question submitted to him by Prof. Norrenberg, says he does not care one way or the other

be taight to do work at which they may earn a livelihood in spite of their defects.
 So that wounded men may be near their homes and relatives given an opportunity to visit them, the de- partment determined upon the plan of scattering the hospitals throughout the country, Major Shields told The Associated Press. And when the need of them will have passed within a few years after the war, the govern 'ment plans, he said, to sell the hos pitals to the cities in which they are located.

Amsterdam, Feb. 28.-To show the la test triumphs of surgical healing, a remarkayble concert has been giv- en in Berlin.
 All the "war-damaged" performers were professional artists. There were pianists who had been cured of palsi- ed arms and frozen hands; violinists bereft of fingers and others who had been made deaf by explosions. There was an organist who worked the ped als although he had his ankles smash ed and there were singers who had been shot through the lungs.

There Is a diffuse inconclusiveness

ALBANY. Dec. 2.--Contractors will be
willing to bid upon State and NUM-
cipal building construction at figures
IS per cent. below war time costs, ac-
cording TO opinions given to-day at a
conference of Lewis F., Pitcher State
Architect, with Erward A. Keller,
former president OF the New York
State Association Of Builders.
Three conditions have created this
Willingness to cut bids for future con-
struction work below war time prices.
The first is the increased stability of
labor. The second condition Is the re-
appearance OF competition in the de-
livery OF materials brought about by the
relief of transportation hindrances and
the resumption OF long haul deliveries.
The third factor is the elimination of
irresponsible contractors during the
stress of the war period and the re-
sulting grouping OF contractors who
have stood the tests OF war emergency
conditions.
Wages OF skilled labor are not ex-
pected to be much reduced during the

Socialism and Bolshevikism are both
Teutonic by-products. The Teuton
of to-day is inca pable OF thinking OF
