of modern warfare with which he
is not familiar and in which he
has not participated. AT last
came the day when the fight, for
him, was over, and he was carried
back with a fractured skull; with
his ribs knocked in and his teeth
knocked out and forever deaf in
one ear. After a period of twenty.
two weeks in the hospital, Private
Allison again sought to join the
ColorS, but was refused admission
both in Canada and our own
country because of his physical
condition, as the conclusion of
heavy artillery would now crush
his skull

touch of the war and learn,

auxiliaries, the Food Administration which is attempting to fix the prices for staple products and prevent profiteering, the Fuel Administration which is assisting in a solution of the fuel shortage and the various government agencies, all of which are intimately concerned in the conservation of resources to help win the war
 Industrial plants have been re- quisitioned far more than most people know for the manufacture of things needed in the equipment of our armies.
 Labor, and especially skilled la bor of all kinds, was never so scarce and it is impossible to secure enough men to carry on the average volume in some lines of business.
 Women are employed in place of men-the Little Rock Street Rail- way Company seriously considers employing them as conductors, some of the railroads are already using them as yard and office clerks,
 
 they are doing some of the, lighter work about the sawmills, and in many other ways they are taking the place of men gone to war.
 The increased cost of all com modities, everything we eat and wear, is so familiar to everyone that it does not require repetition-all due to the war.
 Cotton has gone to a higher price than at any other time since the Civil war-again the war is the cause.
 We have meatless and wheatless days and lightless nights, we can buy only a few pounds of sugar. we are tagging our shovels to save fuel, we have Hoover dresses, and belt less coats, and cannot eat crackers

 You are so patriotic that you are doing service in one or many of Uncle Sam's branches of the govern ment.
 But have you had any sort of conversation today with anyone that you have not complained that you are just showed under with work, !" that you are working day and night-don't know what is to be- come of you" or else you are growl- ng out answers in as surly tone as possible
 You know quite well that you would be righteously indignant if the government should take that work out of your hands and put 1t into the hands of another.
 In fact, you are in secret batting yourself on the back because you

A cRuMe OF COMFORT

England's journalistic trouble mak- CT. Horatio Bottomley editor of the London John Bull has been on a visit to the trenches and has return ed with words of cheer. In John Bull he writes:
 And now for what l have learned We will have the truth from the trenches at last. The war is won. Germany is beaten. On every front she is weakening and weakening and it is now only question of the psychological moment to strike. That momen.ous decision rests with one man-at least, l. hope to God it does. If the politicians will kindly keep out of the ring Haig will very soon administer the knockout blow
 'sI know what I an saying. l do not profess to speak as any military expert or prophet. I say that which I have learned. 1 mention no names - disclose no secrets-I abuse no confidence. From Field-Marshal Com mander-in-Chief right down to the rawest Tommy in the trenches there is but one spirit-that of absolute optimism and confidence. And there is not a German prisoner who does not tell the same tale. Els ist fertig' said everyone of them with whom talked-'It is finished"

LITTLE ROCK LETTER
tBy Clio Harper.)

Little Rock, Jan. 14-If there re- mains in the mind of any citizen of Arkansas any lingering doubt about his being personally involved in the greatest war of all history. he need only look about him to be disillusion- ed
 Entering upon a new year, the fourth year of the war that many said could not last longer than six months. we find all the world at a death grapple, and Arkansas just as much a part of the general de bacle as though foreign foe were knocking at our gates at Texarkana or the Mississippi river ports.
 All about us, and inextricably in volved in it, are evidences of the part we are playing in the world s supreme tragedy.
 So far reaching as it is, that the humblest home in the remotest cor ner of the state is touched at some point by it's influence.
 And even more intimately will those homes be touched and sad dened later when the casualty lists begin to come back from the bloody shambIes of Flanders.
 There are nearly 25,000 of the best young men of Arkansas under arms or enlisted in some branch of the government service that is charged with the winning of the war.
 And more are being called for. inclading the fourth regiment of volunteers now being organized.
 They are in every branch of the service. and there are some already at the front facing the shrapnel
The courier-index., 1918-01-25

and liquid flames and poisonous gas of the Madmen of Potsdam, and some of them wear upon their breasts the French Croix de Guerre.
 The people of Arkansas, in com mon with the rest of the world are learning the lesson of giving and they are learning it well.
 They are learning that money is needed to win this war, as well as men and munieons, and that we must not only give our idle surplus but give until it means genuine sac rifice.
 They are investing literally in Liberty Bonds and War Savings Stamps, and guaging their invest ments by seven figures in the az gregate.
 It would have been thought impos- sible few years ago to raise a million dollars among the people of Arkansas for any purpose.
 It is no longer a measure of aris- tocracy to own government bonds everybody owns them, mllllonalres and ditch diggers, bankers and school boys, rich planters and ribbon counter clerks.
 A year ago the state banks held only $2,040 worth, now they have more than ten millions.
 The people are giving generously to the Red Cross, the Y. M. c. A. war work, the Salvation Army war work, the Fatherless Children of France the Belgian, Jewish and Armenian relief, and other funds, and they realize that many other demands are inevitable.
 There are many war activities in Arkansas, aside from those men toned, that are engaging the at tention of our people-the State Council of Defense with it's county

have gotten this, to you, rather inn portant work.
 And you would be insulted if you thought anyone would insinuate that you are not patriotic to the back bone.
 Then knock that chip of brusque- ness and churlishness off your shoul- der and show that you are proud of doing your part toward world peace by acting in courteous, gracious manner, and rid others of the thought that your work is too big for you.
