But there are those who by nature
 or self training refuse to take every thing as serious as il looks. and when these men drop the gun and the drill
 manual, they become kidders. Their | minds revert 10 lighter things, and | they not alone find relaxation for themselves, but for those around | them.
 It is a wonderrul thing how the !, Americans act on the battle front.
 They are at present the question | marks of the world. They are not
 understood, because of that unusual makeup. It is said that they go swearing and bolting and shooting and bayoneting over the front with mad dash. shoot and stab with &C., curacy, never flinching, and once the half hour for relief comes. they as- semble in their trenches and the ioshing begins
 The war is terrible, and it will cost many lives, and it is not worth the lives of good Americans, at best; but there are some good proofs in the necessity of whipping the Germans in order to prove the Germans are not the elect of heaven and earth We Americans had almost become afraid of ourselves. We doubted our selves. We didn't know whether we were all money mad or not, and we did know that most of our attention for long time had been to money, to fashions. to self-indulgence Now we know that even with all such foibles, the American is sturdy and courageous, is subject to discipline, is patriotic, and makes the greatest sol dier in the world.
 We know that the American can laugh in the trenches as he can fight in the trenches-with all the vigor of his soul. Why, we've even got negro regiments that can whip their weight in wildcats. once they arc properly trained and awakened to what is within them, And the negro carries his comedy with him, too. even to the face of death It's a great makeup, and it is worth thinking over and being proud of.

THE MONARCH STILL WITH US

News reached the city yesterday that the government had reached a definite conclusion in reference to the taking over of the Eastman ho- tel, and that the hotel would not be taken over for war hospital pur- poses
 Some time last fall, when the gov ernment was availing itself of hospi- tai facilities, and winch naturally at tention was directed to Hot Springs. the suggestion came from the gov rrnment that perhaps the Eastman hotel would be taken over
 President Albert Gaines of the ho- tel company learned of the fact that this big property was being consid cred by the government, and imme- diately began a cooperation to that end. He had correspondence with the government. volunteered the aid of the owners in conveyance of the property and when the matter was later considered with much serious ness, price was agreed on which was satisfactory.
 Later inspections made of the property, however, differed fin report with first impressions, and the high government heads began to doubt the wisdom of taking over even such a large property as this, instead of building anew.
 In the final decision, 1t was agreed that the property would not be taken over for hospital purposes.
 Rumors which had no basis in fact lave gained circulation relative to the transaction. For instance, there was one rumor that the price of the hotel property had stopped the deal. That was never true.
 The Eastman Hotel, the Monarch of the Glen, and one of the city's most substantial assets, would have left the city without complete facili. ties for year, had it been taken over, but Mir. Gaines and his asso- ciates had already taken advanced steps to build anew for Hot Springs
 tD IdhG the place of the Eastman, and only one season would have suffered the loss of this big hostelery
 The Monarch of the Glen will be with Us still. Perhaps a full appre- citation of this mammoth big hotel was not felt until the day came when 1t looked like war would deprive the city of it Then people realized that the absence Of such big hotel, even for the one season. would have been a serious loss, and that while the owners were progressive, and would have rebuilt at once, yet their hopes could not have been fulfilled within less than year or more
 The deal Is all off now. The own CTS of the property have volunteered in spirit of self-sacrifice, the same as other volunteers are made. The tTme was reached when the govern ment decided that it did not want the property. Now that same progressive management will take steps for the annual Improvement that makes the Monarch of the Glen better each and every year to serve the patronage that comes to Hot Spring

THE HAPPY GUY.

There was never such a popularity proved up for the Happy Guy as in the United Staes army When twenty or forty or a hundred thou sand men are assembled together for war purposes there are two seasons one of work, and the other of re- taxation. One Is as essential as the other.
 It is not given to all the men to be light minded after their work
The Sentinel=record., 1918-08-06
THAT CASUALTY LIST.

There should be no impatience on the part of the American people for the casualty list since the American forces have been in such active fighting It is natural that the peo- pie want to know about their loved ones, but it is also reasonable that accurate reports of the dead. the wounded, the missing, would take the time of many men, and much of their time, and that just now progress is more important than anything else.
 The disposition of our country Is to strike hard, and by thus doing, save American lives, The moro men engaged, the sooner the strife will be over, and the sooner will all the loved ones be back home.
 We know that the American con- manders at the front realize the ten sity of the situation at home. and that they realize the casualty lists are being breathlessly awaited. and
 hey will send them in as soon as practicable, but that the command should hesitate any forward move ment in order to make this tabula ton, is unreasonable.
 General Pershing will be heard from soon. and will send in list that will be correct. If that list is late coming, we must bear the dis appointment, with the knowledge that Pershing and our boys are too busy just now to compile lists, and that just as soon as it is practicable to do so, they will send in the list.
