wasn't long before my back commenced
to ache. It panied me for several days.
I had a tired feeling all the time and
before long, my health was generally
run down. As soon as I began taking
Doan's Kidney Pills, I got relief and I
have relied on that remedy ever since.
I haven't needed them lately, but if I
should be troubled again, would sure

PLANNED UPRISING IN U. S.
German Plot to Aid I. W. W. and So
 cialists in 1914 Failed.

New York, May 16.-Plans had been made in 1914 for revolution of Ger mans in the United States in case this country should be drawn into the Eu- ropean war, according to testimony yesterday at the state attorney gener- al's investigation of reports of hid den munitions.
 Ivan Norodny, vice-president of the Russian-American Asiatic Corpora tion, who admitted he had sympathized with Russian revolutionists before the emperor was overthrown, attributed the revelation of plans for an upris- ing in the United States to Baron von Gersdorff, a friend of the German crown prince and a former agent Tn Mexico, who was interned after the United States entered the war.
 At a dinner at New York hotel in the fall of 1914, Ncrodny said he met von Gersdorff, Captain Hans Tausch- CT, former Krupp agent in the United States, and another German whom he knew as Lagen or Muck and who was
The Mena weekly star., 1918-05-23

the manager of Mime. Gadski, wife of Captain Tauscher.
 Norodny quoted von Gersdorff as saying: "The Schuettzenverein Ger man rife clubs), have arms in this country and in case of trouble with the United States they will side with Germany. The rifles have come from Germany and in case of war the Ger mans here will assist the I. W. W. and Socialists"
 Both von Gersdorff and Tauscher told Norodny, the later testified. the autocracy of Russia ought to be over thrown, and von Gersdorff offered to supply Norodny with arms free so revolutionists in Russia could seize the government and make a separate peace with Germany. Norodnv test;- lied he rejected this plan from patriot is motives. IVY
 Previous to this conversation. ba said, he had been trying to buy rifles from Tauscher for the Russian armv but after being shown quantity of arms in a New Jersey storebouee gave up the idea because he reaIized he was dealing with an enemy of bis country and the arms, if purchased might be sunk by the Germans m tba way to Russia.

 The Maxim and Vickers guns are fired from a tripod, the gunner squat ting with legs astraddle, and pressing a key. As long as he keeps his flngcr on the key the gun continues stream ing out bullets as the belts fly thru it. gripping the handles with both hands the gunner moves his weapon back and forth, playing on the advancing troops much as fireman plays hose on a burning building. Guns of this kind can also be used for putting by barrages, and it is impossible to at tack with them targets one cannot see.
 At the beginning of the war the British had two machine guns to each infantry battalion The number is now much larger In addition spe- cial machine gun corps has been formed

cessful Year in 1917.
 Little Rock, May 17.--The fire in- suranee companies operating in Ar kansas enjoyed an unusually success ful year in 1917.
 The loss ratio for the year was 36.11 as compared with ratio of 56.55 for the United States, and 60.16 for 1916. There are only three other years since 1881 that are lower that the 1917 ra- tio. The highest loss ratio recorded is 12508 in 1913, and the next highest is 100.S in 1915.
 There are BIO insurance companies and societies of all kinds operating in the state. They received from Arkan- sas policy holders total of $14,S02,- 256, and paid back to policy holders S7,061, SAP, the ration of return on each dollar being fl cents.
 The mutual fire companies show the largest return, 81 cents, the negro fraternals, which have different sys- tenn of accounting, show the next highest, 7s per cent. The white fra ternal societies are the third, with 65 cents returned for every dollar paid.

 Military Control of Belgian Coasts
 and Domination of Sea Included
 With the French Army in France, May 16.--Germany's conditions of peace are clearly stated in document found in a German trench that was recently recaptured by entente allied troops A resume of the principal con ditions as given in an official transla- ton reads:
 After the enormous sacrifices we have made of our blood and property we exact as necessary minimum to the preservation and development of Germany, the following:
 Belgium, especially the Flanders coast with Antwerp, is to remain un- der German military, economic and political dependence.
 Liberty of the seas shall be prop erly established for all nations, the central powers being allowed com mercial feet totaling 17,S00,O00 tons, while that of the allies should amount to 16,900,000.
 Our colonies shall be returned without augmentation
 We are to have more numerous and stronger naval stations.
 "The Longwy and Briey mine fields, which furnished France it's weapons for attack, shall become Ger man.
 Readjustment of the frontiers, par ticularly in the Vosges, are to be fixed according to the military situation. Our frontiers must be such that their defense is made easier.

MACHINE GUN IS 4
 DEADLY WEAPON
Men in Mass Formation Are Mown Down Like Grain in FieId-Bullets Go Thru Men in Front Ranks
 and Kill Men in the Rear.

London, May 17-"Of all the weap- ons used in the present war, the ma chine gun has unquestionably proved itself the most efficient" says Brit ish expert in the Daily Mail. Prob ably a majority of the casualties in the war have been caused by this weapon; certainly the greater pro- portion of the enormous losses during the fighting of the past few weeks have been so inflicted.
 Any type of machine gun in the hands of a skillful operator has the same destructive effect upon men nov ing in mass formation that keen edged seythe has in field of ripened wheat, It cuts broad swathes; noth- ing can stand against it.
 "A well-served machine gun is the most formidable thing that attacking battalions have to face. 1t is not merely the front ranks that suffer, At anything approaching close ranges, the bullets will go thru the front rank men, often thru the second rank as well, and kill or wound those immedi- ately behind them"
 There are several types of the ma chine gun now in use in the British army. such as the Lewis, the Maxim, the Vickers and the Hotchkiss. All are very mobile. They can be moved quickly from one place to another, ad- vantage being taken of any cover that offers. Each class of machine gun has with it squad of about ten men. Should they find themselves pressed too closely, they pick up their weapon, fall back with it, and reopen fire upon the enemy from the next favorable position.
 One authority has declared that in the field one machine gun is worth almost a whole battalion of men arm ed with rifles Few soldiers can keep up 15 rounds per minute rapid with g rifle, but a machine gun can discharge 600 rounds in a minute, and the Vickers can discharge 1,600 rounds without stopping. Bullets pour from the muzzle in a rapid devasta- ting stream, and as these guns use fii1e same kind of ammunition as a rife, there is little difficulty in keep ing them fed
 The Lewis gun is described as the most mobile. One man fires it, using 47 rounds in succession. Beside him is another man who puts on fresh trays of ammunition as required, the change being made in two seconds Mean while other men are hard at work filling trays and passing them on for use. The gun has an effective range of about 1,200 yards and can be fired

 We again want to call attention to the fact that this peaceful citizen has been twice convicted by jury upon the charge of carrying a pistol, as ap- pears in Criminal Record B, page 31 and 170 Arkan- sas County Arkansas These facts can be confirmed by securing copies from Q. D. LaForgus, Circdit Clerk of Arkansas County.
 We have certified copies of the court records in these cases, which will be glad to show to any person calling for the same. We understand that if should misrepresent the facts in a statement like this should be guilty of libel and we invite the closest investigation as to the truth of the above charges
 We submit that it would be the greatest calan- ity that has ever befallen the State of Arkansas for the whiskey forces to again obtain control of the state and in view of the record made by this man in his last campaign and in his past fe we ask one and all to join in repudiating the man who has been tery to offer himself for the highest position in our gift We again submit that it is an insult to the in eligence of the good people of the State of Arka- SaS.
