Should the rate Of advance they

mated that it would take weeks for

cope with the conditions, however
precarious they may be. The first
fifteen years of the nineteenth CEN
tury in Europe yield us the history of
a man, rather than of a continent.
France was the center of Europe;
Napoleon, the Corsican, was the GEN.
ter of France. All the affairs of all
the nations seemed to gather around
this genius of war. He was respected,
feared, hated; he had risen with the
suddenness of a thundercloud on a
clear horizon, and flashed the light
nings of victory in the dazzIed eyes
of the nations. All the events Of the
period were concentrated into one
great event, and the name of that
made possible the greatest country
event was Napoleon. He seemed in
carnate war, organized destruction;
sword in hand he dominated the ma

with folded wings. He was, in full
sense, the man of destiny, and Europe
was his prey. But Napoleon has left
his imprint that shall withstand tho
ravages of time.
The Declaration of independence,
one of the greatest literary documents
in the annals of history, is product
of the revolutionary war which has

for the perpetuation of world democ-

On the fifth day the people were
very much puzzled at the discharge
of shells every twenty minutes. They
were puzzled because the French avi-
ators were unable to locate any Ger
man machines. That day, in COM
pany with two friends, l visited the
great Luxembourg Gardens. 1t was
there we learned that the despicable
Huns were attacking the city from
the front, about seventy miles away,
with long-range gun. l know these
shells fell every twenty minutes for,

them. However, the people continu-
ed to go about attending to their
business and enjoying themselves.
Their spirit is not broken, and it

of verse, printed in English, which
ran as follows:

cheese,
May the smell in his head go down

May he break his d-m neck on the
Hindenburg line,
And go to hi croaking the Watch
on the Rhine"
The Kaiser's effort, by way of air
raids, to spread terrorism has only
resulted in Strengthening the French
peoples determination to win.
Strange to say that on the day the
Germans began to lombard the city
saw more of Paris than on any
other day. This was not my fault,
however. My time was growing

across the street from the hotel
where l stopped. One of the shells
from the big gun fell there. No one
was hurt, but there was large hole
in the ground, and wall which il
struck was partly demolished. While
these attacks occur almost every day

SPOKE IN FAVOR OF
PROPOSED CONSTITUTION

Attorney Henry Rector of Little
Rock, spoke yesterday afternoon to an
audience at the court house in support
of the proposed new constitution. He
was member of the constitutional
convention and is in position to give
valuable information on the many
changes. He opened his address with
the statement that very few people in
Arkansas were aware of the fact that
the exact boundaries of the state has
never been correctly defined. He re-
ferred to the strip of land west of
Fort Smith, in Sebastian county.
which has been in dispute between
Oklahoma and Arkansas for years and
has never been settled, but the pro-
posed new constitution, he said, will
serve to eliminate this, as we'll as any
other disagreement which might arise
about the boundary. He heartily en-
dorsed the section which would give
the soldiers and sailors away from
home in the camps, the privilege of
voting in elections, which they cannot
do under the present laws.
Among the other provisions he en-
dorsed and explained were the board
of pardons and the budget system for
the state. The board of pardons, he
said, was the remedy for a growing
evil in our state, the proposed board
having the duties of passing on every
application for a pardon, thereby TAX
ing this important privilege out of the
hands of the governor. The budget
system, he said, would eliminate much
waste in the appropriations by the
legislature and save much money; the
legislature not being allowed to make
more appropriations than there is
money in the treasury. The woman
suffrage and the prohibition sections
were heartily recommended by Mr..
Rector.
He showed the great need of a new
constitution because of the rapid de-
velopment of the states resources;
the change in numerous ways which
nesessitate the passing of new laws,
the proper enforcement of which can
only be accomplished by constitutional
laws instead of legislative.
