NEW YORK, February ga parade
of 10000 troops from the 77th Division
Of the National Army at Camp Upton
part of the METROPOLITAN Division
was the distinguishing feature Of the
! Washington birthday celebration in
New York.
Six thousand additional soldiers from
the camp were given leaves Of absence
and joined with the vast throngs in
what was perhaps one of the most note
worthy patriotic demonstrations here
since the United States entered the war.
All during the forenoon special trains
brought in the troops, and the streets
in the vicinity OF railroad terminals and
armories resounded with the rumble OF
artillery and the measured tread of
trained soldiers men who. but six
months ago. were clerks. shopkeepers.
mechanics. laborers and others making
up the varied industrial army OF the
metropolis. Many of the troops arrived
last night and participated in enter
tainments given in their honor.

patriotic spirit of the day, outdid itself

Where Noah plsembarked.

Nakhitchevan, or Nakhikhevan, Ar
menia, on the slopes of Ararat's great
er peak, claims to be the oldest town
In the world. The name of the rude
little village means HE descended
here" and the townspeople allege that
on that very spot Noah dlsembarked
with his family and animals and set
up housekeeping, planted the vine"
made wine and celebrated. The tomb
of Noahs better half is at the base of
the mountain, and fragment of what
is said to have been the true ark"
is preserved in an Armenian monastery.
Noah was not buried In "the worlds
oldest city," but near Damascus. He
was very large man, the natives will
tell you, and rs proof point to his sup
posed grave, which is almost fifty feet
in length. The Armenlans also locate
the Garden of Eden near Ararat.

valuable library, especially a certain
case whose contents are worth their
weight" as the saying goes; and in
front Of this, as suitable screen or
cover, they placed life-size portrait
Of another famous Pilgrim, Lord Rob-
erts, and no more popular figure than
"Bobs" could grace an assemblage of
service men.
The committee made further altera-
lions In the same key. They stored
much of the costlier and more cum
brous furniture and replaced 1t with
an ample supply of coy armchairs and
lounges. And with a shrewd eye to
their surroundings, as we'll as the cal
iber of the men who are to put them
to use, the committee have seen that
everything imported, whether for use
or ornament, answers to the demands
of taste as well as utility, with the re-
suit that every room, from the dining
room to the card rooms and the office,
looks as If 1t were planned in the
piece and member of this new club,
therefore, can invite a guest with the
FEELING that he Is doing the honors of
a great house and not n compromise
between a hotel and an institution.
There Is nothing of the stereotyped or
codified caravanseral about Leconfield
house.
Without any conscious effort whatso-
ever In this direction, the committee
has certainly contrived q result which
leaves no room for qualms as to the
hospitable effect produced. 1t Is re-
corded of the last Earl of Egremont al
ready mentioned as the patron of Turn
er and Constable and many a great ar
list besides, that on his recovery from
illness he celebrated the fact by en-
tertaining four thousand people to din
ner. and such was his reputation as a
host, that half again this number of
his humber neighbors attended in adj
dition; nor were they mistaken in their
man, for he sent out orderg at once
and made room for them all. In
house where such large traditions
reign, 1t would be out of place to put
the new inmates to any Inconvenience
or uneasiness as to terms, so there Is
to be no subscription. and though 1t is
considered wise to institute a modest
scale of tariff charges, 1t would come
nearer the aims and ideals of the com.
mittee to offer "open house" If this
were possible. AS one Of the commit
tee said to me, 1--WE want to lose mon
ey on 1t, instead of making,it," and this
expresses the originating idea in an ap-

bership. SO long as a man holds a
commission In the United States army
or navy he is welcome member dur
Ing his stay In this country, and the
hope is, as the membership grows, to
make the scheme keep pace with the
demand by bringing neighboring houses
into the scheme, with Leconfield house
as headquarters and a social center.
But the ruling idea Is not limited to
Mayfair or even to London by any
means. 1t is hoped, and all the evil
dence are tending to justify that hope,
that the club will prove a stepping

tered was the grouping of colors at the
head of the staircase, and this sight
of a well-hung Union Jack and the
Stars and Stripes blent in the widest

repose, took on healthy aspect OF
permanence. Usually in London you

of the everlasting debt of gratitude he

 Whereas, under a recent decision of our supreme court the act which was passed by the last legislature and under which it was generally under stood to be unlawful to introduce in- toxicating beverages into the state of Arkansas, was so construed as to per init the introduction of intoxicants into the state; and,

 Little Rock, Feb, 11.-Ordinarily, about this time the people of Arkan- sas are all wrought up over politics.
 But not so this year. They have other things to think. about.
 Of course, the postponing of the primaries until May 28, the latest ever held in the state, may have something to do with it, but not all.
 The people are too busy helping win the war and making a living to fool much with politics.
 That is one notable change that is being made in Arkansas politics is becoming an incident rather than a profession for the politician, and the chief diversion for the voter.
 Soon there will be 30,000 of Ark ansas' best young manhood in the mill itary service of the country, making a great void in the commercial and industrial life of the state.
 And after all, the commercial and industrial affairs of a state are it's foremost concern.
 Taking so many men out of their former occupations is already being felt, and so great is the loss, actual and prospective, in the farming busi- ness that a delegation will go to Washington to petition the authorities to place farm labor in deferred classification of the Selectivc Draft.
 All of which proves that there are more important things, in the state to- day than the personnel of it's office holders. Service aIfd not personal ambition should be the first consider ation.

MUST RECOGNIZE
 GERMAN VICTORY
Says Emperor William, As He Re joices Over Collapse of Power on
 Eastern Fronts of Russia.
Associated Press Dispatch.

Associated Press Dlspatch.
 New York, Feb. 12.-President Will sons announcement of Americas purpose to emancipate the world from threat and attempted mastery of a selfish group of autocratic rulers comes almost at the same time that the German Emperor is exulting over the collapse of the opposition on the eastern front. The kaiser says peace will come, but "victory by German arms must first be recognized" Re- plying to congratulations on the peace agreement with the Ukraine, the Ger man emperor declared that those re- fusing German terms must be forced to acknowledge the power of the German sword.
 Meanwhile Germany is massing her forces on the western front, where signs of growing alertness portends the battles that are to come. Wealth. CT is improving and the ground IS getting in condition for military op- erations on larger scale than for several months.
 Raids and artillery fire are in creasing in intensity. The Austrians failed in attempts against Italian positions west of the Brenta.
