WHAT FARMERS THINK
ABOUT WAR CONDITIONS

Editor Reflector; believe your ed
torial representation OF the farmers
attitude toward the war Is fair and
correct. believe am right In say
ing we farmers are In full sympathy
with our government. We are will
ing TO make any sacrifice that will
shorten the war and bring victory
for Justice and freedom. We do not
object to having prices fixed or even
to selling at loss IL little pecu-
MARY loss on our part would help the
suffering humanity. But we do OBJ
ject (and we may object In bitter
words) when we see the millionaire
profteer increase his great fortune
out of this world misfortune. Let us
know that our sacrifices are being
made for the brave soldier, the home
less widow, the starving orphan and
we will gladly toll sixteen hour day.
We will gladly pay income tax and
TO the Red Cross and the |
Y. M. C. A. Uncle Sam can draft
the boys from factory and farm.
Why can he not deal old Demon
Rum" his death blow? Why can he
not draft the wealth of the war hog
and profiteer? 1t seems strange to
is that high government officials
should be so ignorant of things that
ire matter of common every day !

Saturday Ray Perry built bonfire

Seventeen secretaries from
the Camp Pike Y. M. C. A. have
to date enlisted in the regular

Camp Pike News Items
Edited by ErI0in Funk.

To a casual observer in camp
and on the streets of Little
Rock last week it must have
looked as though it had rained
second lieutenants. During the
week 1,500 officers from the
various Third Officers Train
ing Schools of the country ar
rived here for assignment
among the new men that are
now in camp, and among the
1900 that will arrive the lat
ter part of the month. 1t is a
busy time in all parts of the
camp and the warm weather
helps one realize that summer
and sweat are quite one and the
same thing.

road yards. It's very seldam
that one sees a man working in
a store-practically all women

certainly looks strange to me.
Have seen French soldiers
back from the front with an
arm in a sling or walking on
crutches, and almost every man
or woman one sees wears
mourning; and yet they smile
and none of them look sad or
discouraged. | wonder if the
American people will take the
war that way, when the stren-

to them?

The resources of Camp Pike
were never better shown than
in the big camp minstrel show
that was given under the direc-
ton of the "Y" musical director
at Little Rock and at Camp
Pike. The roll of members in
cluded men from Ringlings cir
Gus and other shows, and from
some of the best known min
strel companies in America. Of
course all were enlisted men
from the camp and it was vo-
ted one of the biggest and most
successful entertainments o (
the kind ever held in the state.
Some of the strongest men in
the United States are appear
ing nightly on the Y. M. C. A.
platforms in the army camps
of this country and on the
fighting line in France as well.
The list includes men from all
lines of industry, and of course
the number is greatest of
preachers, lecturers and sing
ers. Last week Camp Pike had
the pleasure of hearing Miss
Enid Watkins of Oakland, Cal,
a noted singer of the Pacific
coast, and it was a rare treat
to all who had the good fortune
of hearing her.
Governor Borugh has spoken
at several of the "Y"buildings
the last week or two and has
proven a favorite with the men
every time. His addresses here
have been a combination of ap-
peals to the patriotic, home low
ing and religious feelings of the
menI that have met with their
hearty response. He is one OF
the strongest friends the Red
Triangle has in Arkansas and
it never makes a call that he
does not answer if he possibly
can.

While court martial reports
have not heretofore been re-
ferred to in these letters, it will
be of interest to all who have
relatives and friends in the ar
my to know of one special in
stance here at Camp Pike. A
sergeant of the 4th Training
Battalion of the lend Depot
Brigade was accused and found
guilty of saying, "Let him die ;
l don't care" when a private
was reported i'll in the barracks
under his care" The sergeant
was sentenced to five years at
hard labor in a military prison,
to forfeit all pay, and at the
end of his sentence, to be dis
honorably discharged from the
army. There is no place in the
United States army for the of
ficers who are Indifferent to
the physical condition of their
men.
Warm weather increased the
attendance at the "Y" buildings
in the camp, rather than de-
crease it as one might have ex-
pected. This is due to the COM
parative freedom from quar-
antine and to the numerous out
of-door programs. The increase
Washington telegraph., 1918-06-21

Word comes from New York
that the Y. M. C. A. will ask
for one hundred million dol
lars when the fall drive for
funds begins. One of the most
potent reasons for the increase
in the estimate for "Y" work in
France is the fact that so much
of it must be done among small
units. A division of less than
10000 men may be scattered
among thirty to sixty small
villages, and if the "Y" is to
serve these soldiers with any
degree of satisfaction there
must be one or more secretaries
in every village. Red Triangle
men who have been used to
working in the environments of
this country such as Camp Pike
will find conditions very diff
ferent in France.
