[Stuf Corrcsponde7,cc1

WASHINGTON, April 2o.--Facing
the charge Of desertion for. failure to
report when called by the Chicago
Draft Board, Brent Dow Allinson, Chi
cago pacihst and anti-war advocate,
was arrested here to-day. He was
taken to Chicago tonight, in custody
of military guard. The order for AL
llnsons arrest was issued by the War
Department. On his arrival in Chicago
Allinson will become private" and
perhaps face a court martial.
Allinson was arrested by Depart
ment of Justice operatives after Sec
retary of War Baker had approved a
recommendation of Provost Marshal
General Crowder, who declared that
the young conscientious objector has
shown impertnencc and defiance of
the selective draft act. After his ar
rest General Crowder declined to per-
NIT the. youth to play the role of
martyr, but kept him incommunicado.

cred to newspapers to serve as an in

Il am going under compulsion into
the camp Of an army to protest against
the curse and infamy of international
war; Atkinson said in this statement.

officer of the judge advocate generals
lucky if he gets off with less than
three to five years in the disciplinary
barracks at Fort Leavenworth. Deser-
tion in time of war may even be pun

Allinson's statement said he would
not "take arms against the youth Of
Germany" and other defiant passages
probably will not help his case any
with the court martial.

brought Allinson's career as a draft.
resister to an abrupt close.
Chairman Bernheim's telegram was
addressed direct to Secretary of War
Baker. 1t asked what influence was
shielding Allinson from arrest. 1t de-
nounced his insolent attitude, which
was utterly discrediting the Chicago
local board, and insisted that Allinson
should be brought back prisoner.
Allinson was arrested at the home of
G. w. Nasmyth, until recently one of
the chief aids of Federal Fuel Admin
istrator Garfield, where he had been a
guest. The special agent making the
arrest said the young mans blasc pose
was quickly dropped when he learned
he was under arrest. Allinson's actions
indicated this. He did not carry out
his bluff to "serve tea" to the arrest
ing officers. He was told to "pack up
in hurry and come along"
Allinson's statement to the press con-
tanned some of the phrases used in his
open Letter to Secretary of War
Baker" published in the anti-war
periodical "War." This resulted in his
dismissal from q post in the Berne
(Switzerland) Legation, to which he
was en- route when The Tribune in
formed the State Department of his
pacifist inclinations.

The Arkansas constitutional con- vention in session in Little Rock has not only drafted very strong prohi- bition section but has adopted res olution asking the next legislature to ratify the prohibition amendment to the national constitution. This reso- lution was adopted by the affirma- tive vote of every member except one.
 This is another instance of state indorsing prohibition after it has tired it out and found for itself that it is good.
 Thirteen states have already rati. fled this national amendment this year and the year is not nearly gone yet.

 Our territory as whole is in fair shape. Newport wagon territory and part of the Rock Island has suf- fered materially as result of seven weeks of dry weather but conditions on the Iron Mountain North and White River Ky. are excellent. Rain and cloudy weather of today seem general over the territory and at this time prospects for better than an average crop are excellent. There is a great scarcity of labor and pick ing the crop will be a serious prob lem. We estimate condition of the entire territory to be 85 per cent of normal.

BATTLE AXE.

l Was on the wing the day last weeks notes should have been writ ter, and did not get to them. Had written, should have called attention to the arrival of a brand new boy at the home of MT. and Mrs. w. $. Gar ner.
 Rev. J. w. Gardner and family came over from Heber Springs last week, and have just left for Louis vile, where MT. Gardner intends to spend year in postgraduate work. They go by Forrest City, where Mrs. Gardner and baby Ruth will visit week or two with relatives before joining the husband and father in Louisville.
 Today two car loads of high brows from Tuckerman and three or four cars of rusticuses from here are rus ticating on Horseshoe Lake; whether the occasion is to be fish fry or just a picnic depends on what suc- cess the anglers have. However, to be sure of their dinner they go well provided with lunches, including, of course, ice and bottled goods.
 We know of few things that could be more gratifying than a copious rain. Without it we shall be practi- cally without a corn crop in most fields where early corn was planted; and our gardens are already "a thing of the past" such things as beans, tomatoes, beets, cucumbers etc, and so on being unknown quan- titles. In fact, we are simply won dering each day what we can possi- bly, have for dinner tomorrow.
 A protracted meeting for the Ken yon circuit is to begin at the Decker Store place Thursday night, July Is, and continue indefinitely. A tent will be used.
 Mrs. F. H. Spradlin and daughter, Nettie, are up from Texas visiting relatives and friends. They came Sunday from Weldon, accompanied by Hunter Wilson and family and by Mrs. Hattie Threlkeld, to spend the day with Mrs. Spradlin's sister, Mrs. J. w. c. Gardner. Mrs. Spradlin and Miss Nettie remained till next Fri day, when they plan to visit Calico Rock relatives, accompanied by Mrs. Gardner.
 Through the kindness of the re- mainder of the bunch in the Union Bank 6 Trust Company, where she works in Batesville, Mrs. w. M. Blair is having three weeks vaca- tion, which is to spend with her parents here annd with Mr. Blair's people in Logan county and in Okla homa.
 Laying by cotton quite general this week. This crop with us is quite satisfactory, and is being laid by unusually clean, there being no rain to encourage, growth of grass and weeds, while the cotton continues to grow and develope nicely. l Range being rather shy as to grass -and in some places as to water cattle owners are planning to ship out quite soon The chief considera- tion suggesting this course being that there is so little feed growing to be used next winter, the pea crop on which they depend largely for winter feed being about as short as the corn.
 Many work horses and mules now being led to the range and turned loose to suffle for living till needed again on the farm.
 We'll enough to remember this is about the time to begin preparation for sowing turnips by breaking and pulverizing. A good crop of turnips in the fall would prove very valu- able asset towards caring for the milk COW in the winter.
