THE FEARFUL COST

! never saw such multitude of stars.
The night was calm and still, and
was sad
With thinking of the soldiers going
forth
To fight my battles for me who
dwell here in peace
Sad, for when the strife is ended
so many there will be
Who will not rise from where they
fell;
The reveille call they will not hear,
But with hands tight-folded on their
breasts,
Like children tired at eventide when
the long day is done,
Will "lay them down to sleep"
Others, manned and torn by battle
shell,
Will return again to home and love
and native land.
The flag, to keep whose stars un-
dimmed and whose white bars
Unstained they were willing to lay
down their lives,
Will be as the apple of their eye;
It's crimson bars, marked deeper with
the red
OF their own life-blood, bespeaks the
sacrifice they made
And something of the fearful cost.

SPAIN
Spain seems drifting into the war
Resolute perseverance in her policy
OF seizing German ships in retaliation
for the sinking of her own vessels can
hardly have any other result. The
transition from painstaking neutrali-
ty to open belligerency may take
many months, but is has begun. The
rest may be left to time, and the
pressing of the Allied offensive, whose
success is the chief factor in screwing
Spanish courage up to the sticking
point.
II would be a great triumph for the
Allies IL the chief remaining European
neutral. and the only one capable of
considerable military exertion. should
enter the lists against Germany. If
Spain goes in, she goes with her eyes
wide open. Her decision would be
another powerful arraignment of
Prussian crime and perfidy and con-
vincing verdict as to the logical out
come of the war.
II would be good for Spain, too. 1t
would mean the definite awakening of
that backward country and its align
ment with the democratic, construc-
tive forces of the world
Heretofore the king and the COM
mon people of Spain have sympathized
with the Allies, while the conservative
classes-the nobility and the business
and professional interests have
mostly sided with Germany. Defiance
of Germany means breaking loose
from the bonds of political and social
reaction that have so long stifled the
development of the Spanish nation.
The bonds must be already loosen
ing, to permit so fateful step as the
government has already taken. Active
belligerency would complete the work
admitting Spain to full partnership
with the free nations that are re-mak-
ing the world.

DEATH OF FLAG-BEARER
ON THE ITALIAN FRONT

This episode is taken from a letter
of certain Italian officer to friend.
and it pertains to a famous battalion
that lost many men in the days of the
glorious fighting that recently turned
the Austrian offensive into a smash
ing defeat.
".... the 9th battalion came again
into action this afternoon. Since two
O'Clock the artillery had been carry
ing on a bombardment against the
Asolone. At the given signal. exact
ly at four. the 9th started to advance,
backed up by the 1S9th Infantry A
hailstorm of fire greeted it, but the
battalion proceeded. calm, in perfect
order, without single hesitation.
The firing increased; the battalion
kept on. About twenty machine
guns suddenly came into action, and
began to play havoc. The battalion
proceeded. calm and orderly. Sud-
denly, the flag bearer, Giro Scanna.

III IITsu FOR THE ARMY

Several million men between is and
as will be interested in the announce
ment that jiu jitsu is being introduced
into the army-not the sport variety,
but the killing kind Teachers of the
art are being employed for all the
cantonments and army posts, through
the agency of the Commission on
Training Camp Activities.
Though the matter is not being
made a formal part of the soldiers
military discipline, it is expected that
every man trained for the army here
after will receive practical lessons in
this genteel killing method
The value of such instruction will
be appreciated by anyone who recalls
the excellent use. made OF jiu jitsu by
the Japanese in their war with Russia.
II can be applied, by one proficient in
it, whenevery the fighting comes TO a
personal struggle, man to man.
''If you are stronger than your OPP
ponent,' explains an instructor, so
much the better If you know jiu jitsu.
IL you are weak physically, you may
overcome a giant if you know the
tricks. 1t is the exercise of surprises. "
And as taught for use against Ger
mans, there are no Marquis of
Queensbury rules about il. ANY sort
OF blow is considered fair. The whole
idea is, Go and get your man before
he gets you That sounds sensible
enough.

BREAD IN THE ICE BOX

The National Bakers Service Board
has sent out a bulletin to State chair
men urging them to give all possible
publicity to the plan of keeping bread
in the ice box and for bakers to urge
this on their customers, in the interest
of conservation. Mr.. Win M. Camp
hell. chairman of the board, writes
that experiment by good authorities
has shown that the plan of keeping
bread in the ice box is effective in pre-
venting mold" The bulletin contain
ing the suggestion is headed with the
words, Hot weather and the bread
problem" 1t is as follows:
with the arrival of summer heat
the question of keeping bread in its
best possible state arises. 1t is of es-
pecial interest this year because of the
use of substitute cereals and the ne
cessity of preventing any possible
waste through bread drying out or
through its spelling in warm, moist
air. Keep the bread in the ice box.
Wrap the loaf or any unused por-
ton in the waxed paper in which it
reaches you or in other clean waxed
paper and place it in your ice box.
That is the best place to keep it in hot
weather. and there it will remain in
fine. fresh condition longer than when
kept in the warm air. Careful wrap
ping will prevent its coming in con-
tact with moisture or absorbing odors
from other foods in the box.
"Try 1.-THE ice box is the place for
your bread in the summer time."

WILL BE NO DIFFICULTY IN
 SECURING SPECIAL TRAIN

Little Rock, April 3.-Frank N. Henderson of the N. E. A. committee, is in St. Louis today to confer with H. c. Hotaling, president of the Ma tional Editorial Association, and rail- road officials, relative to the state ex- cursion and other features of the an- nual meeting of the editors in Little Rock, Hot Springs and over the state The committee has been assured by the chief counsel of the director of railways that there will be no diff culty in securing the special train for the excursion, but the details must be arranged with the railroad heads. It is planned to leave Hot Springs Sun day, June 9, for a weeks tour of the state, covering practically 1000 miles. The difficulty has been to decide which of the many invitations of the var ious towns can be accepted in the Him. ited time. The completed itinerary will probably be announced the last of April.
 There is probability that Presi- dent Wilson may attend the conven- ton, Secretary McAdoo is almost certainty, and Hoover may come. Elaborate plans are being made for the entertainment of the national edi- tors. One day will be spent in an automobile tour of Lonoke county, with a lunchein at Lonoke, and visit to Eberts aviation camp.

FRESH GERMAN TROOPS
 READY F0R NEW RUSH
Will Be More Terrific Than First Assault-Allies Are Prepared and Encouraged by News the Tanks Are Coming"

London, April 2.-This is the pause between the first and second rounds of Armageddon.
 Hindenburg's initial leap was brok- en in midair; but again his army is crouched for new fling. It may be more terrific even than the first one. but the allies this time have the tre- mendous advantage of being fully prepared The Germans have brought up their heavy guns, fortified every foot of the captured ground, and the area through which they advanced in the ten days that preceded the check IS again swarming with fresh troops.
 Foch is ready. The allies are eager to have the Teuton tiger make his second leap; they are unshakably con- fident it will be a leap into the abyss of ultimate disaster. The armies of France and Britain are thrilled to the core by the news that the Yankees are on the march.
 Of the last AS hours fighting there is little to tell It was all of a local character savage though it was. Ad- vance toward the Amiens Paris rail- way was registered by the Germans, but in the vital sectors they were held at bay and even driven back.
 Between Albert and Montdidier there was no change in the line. The German front between the Somme and Demuin village was pushed back by Franco British forces slight dis tance. The Germans in Arriachies wood are less than five miles from the Amiens Paris railway and are expect ed to concentrate their next blow on that sector. The enemy is developing increasing aerial activity.
