RED BLOOD AND
 YELLOW STREAK

Support of the Red Cross is no charity. It is an obligation and he who fails to meet it is a traitor
 "This is the test period of democracy You must meet the test or take what Germany proposes to give you"
 Dr. Stockton Axson, executive sec retary of the American Red Cross and brother-in-law of President Will son, who is expected to speak in Pine Bluff soon, delivered these four stir ring sentences in speech recently.
 The import of these words, and they are true words, if ever words were true. should be matter of serious con- sideration for every man in America who is not giving as much as he can give to the support of the Red Cross And to every woman, who is not work ing as hard as she can work for the Red Cross, her home and other obli gations considered. And to every child who is not doing something all he or she can do--to help along the great work of this most wonderful organization.
 Support of the Government comes first and support of the Red Cross comes next. Support of the Red Cross can only be second. Not only, as Dr. Axson has said so forcefully, is support of the Red Cross an obliga- ton, but it is an absolute necessity. The Red Cross is the tie that binds be- tween the soldiers home and the sol dier himself. That bond must hold. In no other way can it be made to hold save through the agency of the Red Cross. First the Red Cross strengthened the backbone of the French army by offering to do for every fighting son of France what needed to be done "back home" And then it did it. Now it not only is keeping up that work for French soldiers, but it has on it's hands the gigantic task of caring for the de pendent families of American soldiers our own fighting men, in the same manner.
 Not only must the Red Cross succol the wounded and the dying on tn, field of battle, but it must provid, food and comforts on the battle lin, and behind it; not only must it nurs

The St. Louis Chamber of Commerce recently sent out pages of literature to prove that the percentage of alien population is small compared with other large cities, and particularly that there are few people of German descent But St. Louis has failed to "come thru" as it should with Liberty bond investments.

"DON'T WASTE THEW"

Don't waste them,' said the American soldier as. struck down by Hun bullet, he handed his hand grenades to comrade He, in common with the rest of the Americans fighting the Huns, had been taught how to make every effort, every resource, count for the most.
 It is not to be wondered at that Secre- tarv Baker comes back from France with su- preme confidence in the ability of American troops to stand the gaff and come up smiling. The secretary said that he brought word back home that the Americans are making good on the battlefront.
 Certainly they are making good. No one ever thought for moment that they wouldn't make good. But it is reassuring to know just how good they are making From all sources, wherever these Yankee lads in Trance turn up, they are getting their names in the orders of the day and the accounts ot the fighting.
 They have now taken part in great en- agreements Says British general in letter to the American commander -in-chef in France "It was largely through the assist ance of the American Engineers that the Ger man advance across the plains of Picardy was checked, and the important town of Amiens remained in the hands of the British. "
 Don't waste them," said the dying Am erican corporal. Just three words. But few as they are, if the American nation, if the American people as whole, will take them and paste them in their hats, live by them, whether working, eating, sleeping, or playing, our greatest problems will be in fair way of solution.
 There has always been waste in America. It has heretofore been cheaper to waste than to save There is still waste, pure extrava- gance, in America, but it is no longer more economical to be wasteful.
 Go over your daily routine of work. See if you have been cutting out the extras, the essentials, and if not, take home the part ing adnonition of that American boy dying in the Apremont wood from Hunt shell, not to waste

THE END OF STONE

One of Missouri's problems was solved for her when her senior United States sena- tor, William Joel Stone, passed away in Washington Sunday. That state now will be given an opportunity to send representa- tive to the senate who ought to be more than a space-hller, or a crossroads politician.
 Senator Stone, while never brilliant statesman, up to his wilful attitude of oppo- sition to armed neutrality and protection for American ships on the high seas, had done nothing to cause any severe criticism by the general public. His paci6st attitude and non support to the governments war policy in the early days of the struggle brought him much undesirable notoriety, and his attitude was justly condemned throughout the coun- try.
 He was of the old school of politics, to whom all politics was partisan and all govern ment partisan. In such school he was well fitted to hold his own. This was exempli6ed by his speech in the senate early this year charging the opposition senators with seeking to make capital out of war problems This address of his caused much comment, most of which was unfavorable, but there is no which he brought were supported by facts.
 But the time he chose for the attack was ill-timed, and it was made against the advice and protest of most of his Democratic CO., workers The senator, by his early war atti- tude, alienated himself from the sympathies and cooperation of members of his own par ty and forfeited the good opinion of all loyal Americans. That he supported the admins tration during the last month of his life, in fact, since the converting of the present ses- sion of congress, was small atonement com ing tardily, and in no measure undid the evil which his original position had already caused lifetime of atonement were all too short to undo this evil

IRISH UNITING
 AGAINST DRAFT
 CALL MEETINGS

LONDON, April 1S.-All Ireland seems to be uniting against the pro- posal to include Ireland under the conscription regulations as set out by the new British man-power bill. Irish factions who have been fighting each other for years are now getting together
 A resolution was passed yesterday at Maynooth at meeting of the bishops which is worded so that it indicates that the Nationalists in Ireland, including the Redmondites led by John Dillon. Sim Feiners, O'Brienites, Laborites and Clericals, are united in a determination to re- sist the enforcement of conscription by the most effective means at their disposal.
 All the remaining stages in the passage of the man-power bill have now been concluded. These were concluded when royal assent was given the measure.

THE BRITISH DEFENSE

In the history of the war; the greatest in the annals of the world, there is nothing so heroic as the defense which is being made by the British forces OH the northern end of the western front. Its galantry and stub bornness will add much luster to the already great record of British military history.
 There has never before been anything to compare with the violence and savagery of the German attack. Its ruthlessness is be- yond all conception. This attack, launched with the express determination of annihila- tion of the spirit of resistance and the disinte- grafton of the British arms, is a campaign far beyond any ever yet attempted
 Outnunbered, smothered by furious as saults of hate-flled enemies, Hag's men are |endearing themselves to the allied world by their dogged, persistent resistance. Striking back at the enemy as the opportunity offers yielding ground only when further resistance would cost more than the importance of at tackled positions justi6es, that line of Tom mics is wthstanding the shocks of the Hun masses and holding their eager advance dowr to a safe margin like true soldiers of Democ- racy which they are proving themselves to be Forced to retire, they are not defeated nor their spirit discouraged nor even affect ed. Each day finds the defense stiffened ant the resistance higher than ever. Against thi: spirit the waves of the enemy will continue to smash in vain. The British lines will hole until the weight of American fighting force: is made available The strength of the Hur has not made them downhearted Let it no make us so

France, intimating that Austria was ready to consider peace offers The information that such letter had been received by France and had been turned over to the allied war council came from French sources and un- doubtedly gave the Germans a shock.
 Whether or not Czernin inspired this document, he is being made the goat, and his resignation was asked for by the Austrian government to satisfy German demands and appease the wrath of the Prussian junkers.
 Count Czernin has never been more than a fgurehead, puppet controlled by the Ger man chancellor, and his resignation has nc especial significance. With or without him the policy of Austria will continue to be that which Germany dictates. There will be nc real change until the allied task of crushing militarism is finished and pan-Germanisn swept out of existence for all time.

the delegate undertakes, even measures whicf are designed by and for Alaskans. Such a trait is unworthy of Alaskans. Mir. Sulzer, as delegate for Alaska, has certainly utilized his time and energies for the best interests of the territory as shown to him by the peo- plc Yet there is certain element which, for hope of political profit, refuse to give him support where it is needed and go about seek ing to tear down and hamper the development of the territory just because it happens te be branded with different political iron This element is placing party before the in terests of the territory at large, which is rep. rehensibe enough in normal times, but at a time like this, when it is going to take the undivided efforts of all Alaskans to get wha we must have if we continue to develop in dustrialy, it may mean the difference between success and utter failure
