"Nach .Verdun" was the subject of very graphic story of the defeat of the Germans at Verdun soon after the war started. The story appeared in the Saturday Evening Post. The sentence. "Nach Verdun Verdunku- lung" was attributed to Prusslan soldier who went mad in that great battle in which the French checked the German drive to Paris. Translat' ed it means, "After Verdun, the dark" While it might have been written as fiction it has become a fact.
 The darkness of defeat is enveloping German arms. Germany's victories m 1918, this year, were only shafts. o1 light which shot thru small rifts in the clouds of disaster which are bank ing on the kaiser's horizon.
 Verdun was the kaiser's first great obstacle, the Marne is the second. Twice have German armies reached the Marne and twice have they been thrown back. It is possible they will try again, but it is assured they will be again hurled back. It also is pos sible that they will not try again.
 The allies now have the upper hand The military power of Germany IS not broken, but it is badly damaged The allies have won great victory but they have not yet won the war
 By the grace of God and the strength of America allied power can still grow, while German force Is diminishing. We have much to look forward to. The kaiser has desert waste before him of his own making God almighty didn't make this world to be ruled by any one man or set ot men. Therein lies the strength of the allies. They are battling for theii own liberty and for the liberty o1 ! the weak.

GET READY FOR WINTER

Fuel Administrator H. I. Hclder- ness yesterday issued a warning to the people of Pine Bluff to lay in their winter supply of fuel now. He located supply of wood that can be obtained, but it must be cut. He ad- vises citizens to buy stoves that will burn wood. A warning is all that the fuel head can give. He cannot force us to buy wood or lay in coal now. If we haven't sense enough to prepare we ought to freeze this winter. Uncle Sam is going to need most of the coal output to make munitions and to run trains to carry soldiers to the front. We should prepare now. If we do not then we should suffer.

MUST LAY IN FUEL NOW OR SUFFER
 DURING WINTER
Jefferson Fuel Administra tor Issues Another Warn
 ing to Public.

H. l. Holderness, fuel administra- tor for Jefferson county, yesterday issued warning for the public to lay in it's supply of winter fuel now. A similar campaign has been carried on turnout the United States, but has not had much success here because Pine Bluff depends on gas for heat ing. lMr. Holderness's warning con- tains caution as to the possible fail- ure of the gas supply this winter There was a shortage last winter that caused some suffering. He ad- vises that where possible a supply of wood should be laid in. He has secured a tract of timber that may be cut up for wood but the consumer must have it cut The statement fol- lows:
 "Pine Bluff and Jefferson county faces shortage of fuel this winter unless a supply is laid in now. The government will need an excessive amount of coal in order to move troop trains and for the manufacture of army supplies and munitions. The government will fill it's own needs first and unless the public provides for itself now it will suffer
 "Altho most of Pine Bluff depends on gas for heating it should prepare for a possible gas shortage. l advise those who can to buy wood stoves or if persons have wood stoves to pre- pare to use them. 1 have obtained permission to cut all the wood that will be needed but labor must te Ob- tained to cut it. Later we may be forced to use wood entirely and let the government and those sections where wood is not available have the available coal The demand for coal will be greatly increased this win- ter and it is expected the demand will greatly exceed the supply. However. there is not much demand at pres ent and part of this campaign r. buy coal now is to provide demand sufficient to keep the miners busy.
 Unless the public prepare for the winter now there will be no relief when winter comes and the people

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. -
Americans are better men physi-
cally today than they were during
the Civif-war; those Of the west
are sturdier than those of the east
and residents of our large cities
are only slightly inferior In ply
sique, on the whole, to those OF
country and village.
These are the outstanding facts
in an analysis of reports covering
the examination of 2,51O,706 men
under the first army draft.
Total reflections by the examin-
ling boards, for all causes,
amounted to 730,756 men, or
29.11 per cent. Those passing the
physical tests numbered 1,119,950,
or 1889 per cent.

In the first draft of the Civil
war reflections amounted to 31.69
per cent. I'm view Of the great
advance in standards of medical
diagnosis since the Civil war;"

|Crowder, these figures indicate a
decided improvement in the ma
tional physical condition"
Pennsylvania, Connecticut,
Vermont and Maine show the
highest percentages Of rejec-
lions, more than four men
out of every ten failing to
meet army requirements.
South Dakota produced the
most physically fit quota,
more than 80 per cent of her
men within the draft being
found o. X.

map will show that the Mississippi
serves as an almost absolute d.
viding line in the percentages Of
men accepted those west of the
Mississippi standing up better I'M

east of the big river.

The study Of the reports Of the
local boards on the rules for ply

cradle belief that the regulations
should be overhauled to some ex-
tent, and made more flexible. The
majority considered the tests not
too exacting.
1t is possible, however, that as
result Of the recommendations
made there may be some changes,
