From Muftl to Khaki.

From Mufu 20 Khaki.
It was In an Office In Jersey City.
I was sitting at my desk talking to
a lieutenant Of the Jersey National
Guard. On the wall was a big war
map decorated with variously colored
little flags showing the position of the
opposing armies on the western front
in France. In front of me on the desk
lay a New York paper with big faring
headlines:
IUSITANIA SUNK AMERICAN
LIVES LOSTI
The windows were open and a feel
Ing Of spring pervaded the air.
Through the open windows came the
strains Of hurdy-gurdy playing In the
street, Didn't Raise My Boy to Be
q Soldier
'Lusitania Sunkl American Lives
Lost Pr Didn't Raise My Boy to
Be a Soldier" To us these did not
seem to jibe.
The lieutenant in silence opened one
of the lower drawers Of his desk and
took from it an American flag which
he solemnly draped over the war map
on the wall. Then, turning to me with
a grim face, said:
"How about it, sergeant? You had
better get out the muster roll of the
Mounted Scouts, as / think they will
be needed in the course of few days."
We busted ourselves till late in the
evening writing out emergency tele-
grams for the men to report when the
call should come from Washington.
Then we went home.

I went up Fulton street to take the

one momentous morning the lieutenant

this action by throwing the telegrams
into the wastebasket. Then we looked

LAY PLANS FOR ENTERTAINING 0f
 EDITORIAL MEN

Preliminary steps in the matter of entertaining the National Editorial l association here, during it's tour of the state, were taken yesterday when subcommittee, of. the general ar 1 rangment committee met the Pine Bluff committee in conference at the Pines.
 Tn visitors were Earl W. Hodges, and Robert o. Schafer of Little Rock l and Frank N. Henderson, of England
 MT. Henderson is secretary of the 1 feneral committee of which the other two are members and MT. Schaefer 1 is also secretary of the Arkansas 1 Press association.
 Il believe the meeting of the edi- tors of the nation ill Arkansas next 1 June to be more important from publicity standpoint than any other 1 convention ever held in Arkansas or likely to be held here again soon'', said MT. Hodges. When the editors go back to their distant homes and tell of the royal entertainment they received in Arkansas and of the won- derful development and resources of our state and tell it not merely by l word of mouth but through printers ink in hundreds of mediums, Arkan- sas will get literally millions of dol lars worth of advertising, publicity that could be gotten in no other way" The general entertaining commit tee has started work on 9 200-page publicity book to be sen, to every publisher in the United States and to be given local and foreign circula- tion otherwise. In this book the de- velopment of the state and our re- sources and possibilities are to be set forth. In making the "write-ups" of their trip to Arkansas the editors are expected to use the publicity book tion. The committee promises that the book, as a typographical work of art is to be worthy of presentation to men who know what printers ink should be. /.
 The local committee at the confer ence was: Dr. William Breathwit, E. B. Bloom, E. w. Freeman and George H. Adams. ;
 The general entertainment com mittee will hold its next meeting in Pine Bluff, in connection with the Rotary club weekly luncheon. The general committee is haeded by Roy l.. Thompson, general manager of the Democrat Printing and Autograph ing Co. of Little Rock, as chairman, and among it's members is Governor Brough who has attended it's every meeting thus far and is expected to be at Pine Bluff without fail
