PARIS. Aug - The Spanish steamer

consider that this event will bring to a
crisis the relations between Spain and
Germany.
r. the report Of the sinking of the
Spanish steamer il verified Germany
must make rcparation Or force Spain 10

Several days ago Madrid timidly sug
gested that she would like Berlin 20 con

Berlin treated the request with a
silent sneer a. she irs all other de

later dipIomaticalv ridiculed SPAN :
proposition comes the announcement hat
she had gwen as her answer a torpedo

The loss OF the friendship Of Spain which
Is packed with German pIOtters and spies,
would be great blow 10 the Germans.
The SpanlardS have opened their cOun-
try TO Hun propagandIsfs, who virtually
twn or control the leading newspapers Of
Spain, and control their legislative bodies.
Il would not be a very hazardous guess
To state that # SPAN docs not resent this
new insult and lndlgnity, and does not
seize the German vessels interncd IN her

will cease 70 regard Madrid as neutra! and
themselves seize the German ships, which

 PEACE IS STRONG
Count Von Reventlow, Friend of Pan- Germans, Quoted On the Impor-
 tant Subject.
Associated Press Dispatch.


 London, Jan. 16.-While German leaders are undecided as to the course to pursue in the peace nego- tiations with Russia, the British La bor party issued a message to the Russian people supporting the princi- ole of elf-determination of the peo- ples and no annexations for the Bri- tish Empire. An appeal was made to the peoples of Germany and Aus tro-Hungary to- support the policy of self-determination and no annexa- tions. Pan-Germans continue their campaign against Foreign Secretary Won Kuhlmann. The Socialists have forced the Fatherland party to post pone meetings favorable to annexa- tions. It is expected the speech of Chancellor Won Hertling on foreign policies will be postponed. Count Von Reventlow, friend of the Pan Germans is quoted as saying that the peace movement in Germany is strong.

WANTS INCREASED !. PORK PRODUCTION
Warns Farmers Against Selling Brood Sows to Butchers And Spec
 ulatOrs.

County Agent Banks has been send ing the following letter to the farmers of the county on the importance of an increased pork production: Dear Sir:
 You have perhaps been reading of the earnest request made by the government for farmers to increase the number cf hogs grown. Ark ansas has been asked to increase her production of hogs 20 per cent. To do this it will be necessary to keep more brood sows.
 Have you as many brood sows as you would like to keep? Or do you have some brood sows that you would like to sell? In either case, kindly fill out the enclosed card and return ito me.
 The object of this movement is to get those people who have sows to sell in communication with those WIO uSOiIO CO Ouy oOWo. IAO AOA VA ample, if you want to purchase a grade bred SOW, your card will show this fact and I will then put yon in touch with a man who has such a SOW for sale. Or, if you should want ito sell SOW l will put you in touch with a man who wants to buy. But do not sell any of your sows unless you have more than you can we'll take care Of. The government expects every hog grower to do his part to- wards increased pork production.
 Do not sell your good sows to the butcher of speculator, but save them for some fellow-farmer who wants to raise more pork.
 Very truly yours,
 c. H. BANKS,
 County Agent.

One "Runt" Giues WDnne O0dles of
 Sensation by His ''B0n0lDi17g' Stunts

Parks was prolific borrower and his victims were those who were as- sociated with him in the schools. In- quiry reveals the fact that he had borrowed of the teachers the past two months the sum of $230, and while it is known that before his de- parture Wednesday he made some attempt at settlement of this, it is said also that he still owes the teach CTS $160.
 He had also secured an agreement with twelve boys of the high school whereby they were to give $10 each to the Y. M. c. A. They had paid Parks a total of $48, all of which is missing. Parks also collected small sums from the children for the Red Cross, sand it is known that he held in trust for this fund at least $41, and not penny has been paid to the proper authorities. All funds of the Athletic Association in his hands are also gone while the Lyceum Course is also without a penny in the treasury to support the remaining numbers of the course Sixty dollars earned by the children and teachers giving entertainments to support athletics is also gone.

Wynnc, Jan. 14-Wynne labored through furor of excitement the first three days of this week, all caused by the repfehensible actions of one little under-sized insignificant looking personage-Stiles B. Parks, who for the past two years Las held the responsible position of Superin- tendent of Public Schools, and one sensation followed another in quick succession from the time he was ar rested Monday night for passing a bogus check up to midnight Wednes- day when he left on the Sunshine Special for Little Rock, where he claims he has enlisted as educational secretary in the Y. M. c. A. depart ment in the U. s. army.
 Parks actions the past two months had aroused the suspicious of the Board of Education and he knew that his tenure of office was limited to but a few hours, when he pre- sented his resignation to the Board last Sunday and which was accepted the following morning. And then his troubles commenced as scores of creditors presented claims which he could not meet.

NEWPORT JOURNALIST"
 TRIES TO GIVE HIS
 OWN CITY BLACK EYE

The following greatly "overdone" account of the storm situation in Newport appeared in this mornings Little Rock Gazette. It was not written by the regular correspond ent of that paper, but by the sensa- tional, self-styled journalist (o" who is managing editor of the Citi- zon-germ and whosfills that rag with pipe-dream "bull-con", which has about as much interest as the Kali ser's peace proposals. The following shows that he is not on speaking terms with the truth:
 Newport, Ark, Jan. 15.-Newport is in the grasp of the worst storm in 50 years. White river is frozen over and wagons and teams drive across at the Front street ferry. Fear is en- tertained that there may be 9 repe- tition of the disastrous floods of 1915, which created such havoc in this section.
 Newport is without electric power, the Arkansas Light & Power Com pany's plant having been put out of commission by wires that are down and Manager Moss says he cannot tell when service will be resumed. Both the newspapers, the Citizen and Independent, have been forced to close down on account of not having power. Picture shows, factories and everything that requires electric power has closed and the probability is the city will be in darkness for several nights.
