Dreyfus'  Work Wins
 Recognition
Little Rock Paper Tells of Pine Bluff Mans Efforts
 ct Camp Pike.

The work of D. Stanley Dreyfus of Pine Bluff, who is now in charge of the Red Cross Reception building at the base hospital at Camp Pike, al. ready is winning recognition, accord ing to a story in the Arkansas Demo crat of Little Rock. Dr. J. I. Norris and the Pine Bluff Rotary Club also are given credit for donations to the building. The article follows:
 Stanley Dreyfus, a we'll known Pine Bluff business man, is in charge of the Red Cross reception building at the Base Hospital, located at the end of the railroad tracks. Interior details are not quite completed. The Pine Bluff Rotary Club largely through the efforts of iMr. Dreyfus and Dr. J. l. Norris, two of it's most influential members will furnish the building with piano and a victrola
 "Other Pine Bluff people are send ing number of electric fans for the building. It is most delightful rest ing place and is highly appreciated this hot weather by those who make the trip to the hospital via the Mis- soun Pacific railroad. Work on the new reception building for convales- cent patients is progressing rapidly and the frame work is largtly in place."

Army Cops Don't Have a
 Lovely Time
Nearly All Soldiers Are Down on the Military
 Police.

With the American Army in France, May 13.-(Correspondence of the As sociated Press.)-Pity the poor mili- | tary police! They have fewer friends than any other American outfit" in France. Partly, this is due to the av- l craze soldiers dislike for anything resembling policeman, on general principles; partly it is due to our military police themselves. For in days not long past each military DO. liceman seemed possessed with the idea that upon his shoulders alone fell the great task of ordering around ordinary doughboys and even officers. There were some whose first re- sponse to nearly every question ask ed was, ''I'll run you inss if you get fresh." Many of that class have been { relieved now, but some still remain | and the army as body is hoping that additional relief will come ] quickly.
 The average American overseas behaves himself and knows it. He is inclined to resent it every time he sees a couple of husky 'fM. P.'s" swinging billies, and looking him over "sort of squinty like" as one young artilleryman explained it. No soldier ever passes up chance to ! shoot a barb in the direction of the "M. F."
 The other night column after col umn of Americans were walking toward the trenches through a town about two miles back of the first line. At a cross road stood a military po- liceman watching the column pass in silence. The marchers were not feel ing especially cheerful that night be- cause it was raining. But suddenly from the middle of passing com pany, a husky voice was heard to shout
 Hey there, military police! Why don't you join the army and fight for your country?"
 That military policeman was mad all over.
 Next morning, about an hour be- fore daylight. shells started to arrive in town. The Germans were smelling the same crossroad. Finally after looming in" with an especially loud scream six inch shrapnel shell burst directly over the road junction 1 and the M. P. standing in it. A piece of steel about the size of an egg sailed right down in front of the nose of the M. F., while other pieces hit the roof of building on the corner, in which The Associated Press cor respondent happened to be, breaking off the tiles and spattering them in every direction. The correspondent heard the M. P. mutter:
 "Join the army and fight for your country-huh! The poor boob is now out there in the first lines and as as if he was babe in his mothers arms, while I, doggone it. have to stand up here like pin in a bowl

PROHIBITION IS
 ISSUE IN MAINE

Augusta, Me-, June 15.-With the exception of contests for some of the minor offices, the statewide pfimar- ies in Maine next Monday promise little in the way of unusual excite ment. Only Republican and Demo- cratic candidate will be voted upon in the primaries, but it is expected that Prohibitionists and Socialists will nominate for the state election in September by petition.
 United States Senator Bert l.. Fernald, whose term will expire next March, will be renominated by the Republicans without opposition. His opponent on the Democratic ticket will be Elmer E. Newbert, of Angus ta. Governor Milliken likewise will receive renomination at the hands of the Republicans Bertrand G.. McIntire, of East Waterford, will be named to head the Democratic state ticket. The four present representa- tives in Congress will receive renom- ination..
 In the coming state election the prohibition amendment will be a prominent issue with Republicans on the side favoring ratification and the Democrats as a whole against such action and in favor of local option

so many hateful unaccustomed things our men here have to do at least we can give them warmth and cleanliness and the color wherever we can.
 Picture to yourself fifty dirty, tir- ed men falling out of cattle train where they have been cooped up two or three days with detachment of mules, eating and sleeping with with them. They have a couple of hours to wait, so they take a hot shower with plenty of soap and towels given to them and then have good meal, waited upon by such cheerful, kind- ly American girls, play the piano, a bit, write a letter home and go. Those people who have given us the money to do this with would be so very glad, so very grateful if they only could see!
 "About the letter-writing, by the way, the lieutenant of the Signal corps came to me and said "Mrs. Tiffany, l have a grudge against you. l have to censor all our mail and the mems letters home have more than trebled since you opened the recrea- tion room." I believe if do nothing else in France shall be glad of that you see, know what it means when I see my boys writing.
 "The whole rest-station when fur nished is extremely efficient and most attractive. The infirmary is so fresh and clean with it's white enamel paint and muslin curtains; the other rooms are as gay and bright and full of col Or as paint and curtains and plants and flowers can make them. There are such good beds and mattresses in the domitory, such warm fires on cold days, such quantities of electric lights, and tables for writing with un- limited stationary, games. playing cards and newspapers and magazines of all kinds.
 "In the canteen proper the girls in their blue and white uniforms look so nice and the food is so good. You can't think what it means to them When they have money they pay a nominal price; simply to keep them out of mischief really four cents for a huge cup of coffee or cocoa and cor responding prices for everything else
 q have arranged for an unlimited supply of the best fresh milk, butter, jams, syrups, and buildings and de- serts and I must say they are more than popular. One big fair boy at B. drank four cups of milk one after the other, and I may tell you that three of our cups make quart, and when he was finished he, beg ingly said, "I wish mama could have seen me do that" and I wished she could too
 "The shower baths are as popular as the canteen or the recreation room and there are always men in the dor mitory and i'll boys in the infirmary. Up to now it has seen boy coming down with humps, or pneumonia or grippe. but never any wounded are coming back"

ing alley and let Fritz see whether he can knock me down."
 Correspondents have had their troubles with the M. P. too. One of them was entering the gate of a cer- tain generals house and the M P there saluted him. When the corre- spondent emerged the Mj P. happen ed to notice the green armband and the red c on his arm
 Say" said the M. P. "are you an officer?
 "No," replied the correspondent.
 "1'hen why did you return my sa- lutec"
 "Why did you salute me?" asked the correspondent.
 Because thought you were an of ficer," said the M. P. in turn.
 "I returned it because I thought you were a soldier" remarked the correspondent.
 The military police organizations that have arrived recently appear to be made up of an entirely different class of men. They are courteous, carry out their orders to the letter. do not meddle in things that do not concern them anG for the most part display excellent milita.y qualities. It is said. and undoubtedly with con- siderable truth. that the discipline and morals of military organization can be determined by the way its men salute. Some of these new military police of course are among the snap piest saluters. in France; and that is saying great deal.

RED CROSS REST
 ROOMS LIKE HOME,
 ID THE SAMA|fS
Presence of American Girls Helps in Making Places
 "Like Home.

New York. June 15.-Glimpses in to the railroad rest-stations for American troops in France establish ed by the American Red Cross and 8 reflection of some of the happiness of the soldiers served in those sta tions are given in letters received here from the Red Cross agents in France.
 Gee, this looks almost like home,' is the common expression of the ltravel-wearied soldiers as they settle down and relax in some pretty rest station where they have obtained a hot shower bath, and good meal af- ter hours of journeying in crowded trains. These places seem more like home to the soldiers because they are waited upon by American girls. Here they often pause to write let ter home to mother or sweetheart as well as to enjoy milk, butter, jams, buildings and deserts "just like those mother use to make"
 One of the most interesting letters comes tc the Red Cross from Mrs. Belmont Tiffany. New York social leader who has been engaged in the organization of these railway rest stations, which is distinct from the Red Cross work for civilian relief in France.
 "I started in rest-station at B. which consists of an infirmary of ten beds, canteen recreation room, restaurant and splendid hot shower baths and fumigating plant" wrote Mrs. Tiffany. "The men here were of Signal corps, the Bell Telephone men, laying American telephone wir- es through France. They were a splendid lot and. though they have dug post-holes till their backs were lame, they always come to play the piano and sing and write their let ter in the evenings. Because they believe rightly that rest-station must be- homelike, cheerful and rest ful, the Construction department built charming brick buildings with we'll plastered walls and ceilings and l was allowed to decorate and furnish fl1efil as thought best.
 "Tf the women at home and the ment too could see how their boys appreciate it all, how they love the cleanliness and the color and the gaiety, how glad they are for every pretty thing you do fer them, if you could see their poor tired faces relax when they settle down you would realize what this side of it means. War is such an ugly thing. such a dirty, sordid thing; at best there are

KAISER 30 YEARS ON THRONE

Washington, D. C., June 15.-While the recent turn in the tide of war is hardly calculated to put the German people in particularly jubilant mood, it is likely that there will be more or less festivity throughout the empire today in celebration of the thirtieth anniversary of the present kaiser's accession to the throne. It was on this date, in 1888, that the "War Lord" started on his career as an imperial ruler, following the death of his father, Frederick H., whose reign had commenced but a few months before, at the death of Will liam l., grandfather of the present ruler, and founder of the present Ger man Empire.
