SUCCESS OF
 FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN

Little Rock, Sept. 30.-The success that has attended the Fourth Liberty Lean drive in Little Rock and Pulaski county-and it is believed that will be found faithful index of the whole state-has been nothing short of mar vicious.
 In the first two days of the cam paign-Voluntee Days-Little Rock subscribed nearly three million dol lars of the $4,240,000 ouota assigned the county. That is more than was subscribed here for the first loan af- ter weeks of hard campaigning It has been found easy to sell Liberty Bonds, for the people realize that gov ernment securities at 4 1-4 per cent are the best investment on earth.
 The imminent collapse of our enc mics has heartened the people won derfully, and they are ready to get behind the government with every ounce of energy and treasure they pisSess.
 Arkansas is going over the top with it's accustomed thoroughness-Gr county had over-subscribed its quota before the drive started

tiles do not allow publication of sto-
ries of exploits of the most success
full British aviators using the names
as in France and Germany because
it is consideyed unfair to men who

a superman. The view also is taken
by many British flying officers. One
of them recently wrote:

ped to bring down Hun machines.
A plot on artillery observation or
photography work goes up to do
highly necessary job, and perhaps
has to spend several hours over it
and in any case has other work to
do and cannot go strafng however
much he might like it. Why should
be advertised and glorifed any

YANK SOLDIER
IN FRANCE is
REAL FIGHTER
Viewed by British, American
Boys Are Well Liked and
Always There When
Needed.

London, Sept. 30.-(Correspond-
ence of the Associated Press).-
American soldiers seem to Cow in
the night, so that each morning
there are more of them than before"
writes British soldier in France to
his relatives in England. "Ameri-
cans are the topics of conversation
everywhere" he continues. The viii
lagos are full of them. Their auto
mobile trucks are on all the roads,
and their columns of infantry are
everywhere. We are beginning to
know the songs they sing and the
phrases they use.
ITO many of us they were a COM
plete mystery at first We had heard
Of America only as distant coun-
try. Then suddenly they were in
France, tall, well-trained men with
genius for making friends a d
adapting themselves to new condi-
tions. We watched them with Curl
osity at first, surprised to find how
like they were to other men.
Start in Fighting.
"Then, before we had quite re-
covered from the first pleasant sur
prise, they were hghting-making a
reputation in a trade where the test
is not easy. They came up from their
villages singing, and filtered into the
trenches more and more of them
each day. The papers began to
talk about their fighting, but we
thought Surely they cannot be do
ins much yet And then all at once
we began to see it for ourselves, and
we were of the opinion straightway
that the papers had not grasped he
wonder of the facts.
"They were so keen and SO fresh,
those first Americans. And every day
others as keen and fresh are going
up to the line, and every day their
places are being taken in the vii
lagos by yet others. What would
the Germans say if they really knew
all this one wonders.
"They are merry and light-heart-
ed, but underneath they are taking
this business very seriously, and
some of their talk shows it. That's
the way to take ones fighting, you
know-neither too much in earnest
which is morbid-nor too much as a
joke--which is foolish. The wise
man is he who neither overrates
himself nor undertakes danger. The
Americans are wise men.
THE peasants like them; the old
French mothers mother them. They
have an instinct which gives them
realization of the inconsistencies
which must sometimes come to
these men. When years have gone
by, and it is possible to see the war
in perspective, it may be possible
to give full value to what those
women have done. Meanwhile, as
was saying, the Americans go on
arriving and spreading all over

fireman, and engineer, and yet,
meanwhile, he had studied hard and
so was fit to step upward when the
chance came. He didn't care for the
work, so he became a travelling sales
man for a Pennsylvania steel plate
firm at which he hurried up" for
years. Just then opportunity called
and he was shrewd enough to see
it. The writer continues:
"A machinist of his acquaintance
was trying to perfect a pneumatic
riveter. Every one who has lived
where steel construction is going on
has heard the 'rat-tat-tat-tat" of the
pneumatic or compressed air riveter.
Hurley had very little money, but
he hired five workmen and started,
with his partner, perfecting the
riveter. Into overalls and jumper
once more, in a tiny, dirty shop, he
worked with the men. Then he
tried to introduce the riveter here.
1t was slow work. He decided to
go to England with it.
ITO the great shipbuilding plants
on the Clyde he went. His claims
did not seem possible, but they al
lowed him to try it out. Before a
big assembly Mr.. Hurley drove the
first rivet that was ever put into
steel ship in any other way than

started up a big business. Some
times he went to company and
presented his card as president of
his own company. At other times
he presented a card which repre-
sented him to be only an agent. He
carried his outfit. showed what his
riveter would do, and thus built up
his business here.
What Riveter Means Today.
Without this pneumatic riveter
the big ships of today could not be
built, as it is necessary to use rlvets
far too large for man-power to
drive.
No one knows how many years he
might have been struggling to get
his company started here II he had
waited. But he knew that his rlv-
eter was as important for ship
building as for sky-scraper and
bridge-building, so he went where
the biggest ships were built.
Finally he sold out his interests
for 100000, holding some other
interests that did not require his
presence, and retired to his stock
farm at Wheaton, Ill.
But so clever a man was needed.
President Wilson had him go to
South America to study trade con-
ditions and got from him the first
report that really improved our
trade relations. Then he asked to
help in Red-Cross work, being
masterhand at organization. Then
there came trouble in our ship
building, a row between Goethal:
and Denman over wooden ships

Hurry Up" Hurley, Man
Behind Uncle Sans Ships

The man who drove the first rivet
that was put into a steel ship in any
other way than by hand has life
story that explains why he is where
he is now. Today the cry is for
ships, ships, and more ships; and we
all know the splendid success that
America is making of her end of the
job. We are told that three brand
new ships a day are sliding down
the ways into the water to the dis
may of the buffoons of Berlin. Well,
the man back OF that is directing the
largest and fastest shipbuilding job
Mn the world; he's known as Hurry
up" Hurley. and this is the tale The
American Boy tells about him:
Born in Galesburg, ILL.,, he found
family finances in such a state when
he was IS that he decided to leave
the public schools and go to work to
help out.
"Ive got to hurry up and get a
job he said, and he landed a Job
in machine shop before 8 o'clock
that morning. In few years he got
an opportunity to work for the rail-
road as fireman on a freight loco
motive. After while he sought a
job on a passenger train.
They go faster he said. He
was fond of hurrying up. He got
the job. Before he was 20 there
came an opportunity. The engineer
did not show up.
"'Put Hurley at the throttle said
the boss.
but he's only a youngster,'
some of the older men objected.
Merit Wins Right Hand Seat.
Hes made good so far was the
only argument, and so he was given
the right hand side of passenger
locomotive, which means that he
was to be, for that trip at least, en-
gineer of a passenger express.
He merely shifted over from the
freman's seat at the left to the en-
gineer's seat on the right of the cab,
another fireman was brought on,
and Hurley said, Hurry up
Gust as the fireman was stocking
up and young Hurley was oiling up,
an old-timer mentioned to him that
it was a shame to give him that run.
This train has never been on
time. The schedule is all wrong. 1t
is impossible to make the trip on
time
Well try. Hey, Bill?' he
shouted to his fireman, and for the
first time in the history of the road
that express went through on
schedule. Young Hurley never went
back to the hreman's side of loco
motive after that.
Then came a railroad srike. They
sent for Hurley on another road.
He was about to take the job when
he was told that he couldn't, it
was against the union rules.
THAT settles it; I'm no gutter.
III play fair he told them, but |
won't sit around waiting for this
strike to be settled
Got Another Job.
"The fellow who couldn't wait for
the strike to be settled got job
that very day; he became secretary
to the man who is known as the
Gladstone of the Labor Movement

he had left school at Is and then

six days after he took charge he
took over all Of the ships and ship
yard for government service. He
began building yards until now we
have nearly $50 shipyards. He
standardized the ships so that 81
per cent. of the ships are built in
factories all over the country, hun
dreds, and some of them thousands
of miles from the ocean. Only 10
per cent of the ships are actually
created at the yards. The standard
parts are shipped on and the ships
assembled. We must build 5,500,000
tons of ships this year, or 1900
ships, which is ten times as many
ships as were ever before built in
this country in single year. Hur-
ley will do it.
