LITTLE ROCK HAS BEEN AWARE
ED ANOTHER GREAT AEMY
PLANT.
WILL BE A BIG PROJECT
New Plant Will Be Built in East liz
tie Rock and Will involve An Int
tiai Expenditure of More
Than $50o,o0o.
Little Rock

Little Rock
Another great army plant has been
secured for Little Rock
Announcement that headquarters
supply warehouse for all aviation
fields in West Tennessee, Arkansas,
Oklahoma and northern Texas VIII be
built at Little Rock Immediately came
in a telegram to George w. Donaghey,
former governor, announcing that he
had been selected as contractor and
directing him to proceed with the
work Immediately.
The new plant viii be built in East
Little Rock, just north OF the mill
of the Consumers Oil Company, Will
involve an initial expenditure of more
than 100000, already appropriated
by Congress, and it is believed the
cost will ultimately exceed 100000.
When the project was first propos-
ed the government sought 40 acres
and the Board of Commerce guaran-
teed the government this land at
price of $40 per acre. Later the goV-
ernment's requirements were changed
and in order to obtain the larger tract,
a new location had 10 be sought. The
only available site was that owned by
the Field brothers.
The plan to make Little Rock head
quarters for aviation supplies for all
aviation fields in the Southwest had
been under consideration for months.
It was first talked of in October, 1917,
but was dropped until last February.
Then the shake-up in the aviation sec
ton of the army, when Major General
Squires was retired as head of the de-
partment, caused the plans to be
dropped. Two weeks ago the matter
was taken up again at Washington
and u representative was sent there
to look after Little Rocks interests.
This city was favored by the govern
ment officials because it is centrally
located with reference to aviation
fields in the Southwest and because
of the army establishments already
located there.
Plans for the plant provided for n
warehouse 400 by 500 feet and bar
racks buildings to accommodate 300
plivates and noncommissioned Off
GERS. They also include quarters for
officers and an officers club.

U. S. Can Never Be Crushed.

"These great objects can be put into
a single sentence. What we seek is
the reign of law, based upon the con-
sent of the governed and sustained by
the organized opinion of mankind
"These great ends cannot be
achieved by debating and seeking to
reconcile and accommodate what
statesmen may wish, with their prof.
ects for balances of power and Of ma
tional opportunity. They can be
reached only by the determination OF
what the thinking people of the world
desire with their longing hope for
Justice and for social freedom and OPP
portunity.
'T can fancy that the air of this
place carries the accents of such prin-
ciples with a prouder kindness. Here
where started forces which the great
nation against which they were pri-
marily directed at first regarded as
revolt against its authority but which
has long since seen to have been
stem in the liberation of its own peo-
ple as we'll as of the people of the
United States-and l stand here now
TO speak, speak proudly and with con-
fident hope-of the spread of this re-
volt this liberation to the great state
of the world itself. The blinded rul-
ers of Prussia have aroused forces they
knew little of-forces which, once
aroused, can never be crushed to earth
again-for they have at their heart an
inspiration and purpose which are
deathless and of the very stuff of tri-
umph."

$2so,ooo TERMINAL SUGGESTED.
Heavy Freight for Vermont Might Come
Through Port of Burlington.

Burlington, Sept. ls.-A largely at
tended meeting was held in the Van Ness
house Monday night of those who are
interested in the deep waterways project
for Vermont and the terminal at the
port of Burlington. 1t was shown that
a large amount of freight can be brought
to this state on the waters of Lake
Champlain when the narrows at White
hall are improved.
Robert NJ. McCauley, traffic expert,
suggested that terminal at Burling
ton should be constructed costing at
least S250000 This would consist of a
pier extending into the lake for dis
lance of 300 feet He estimated that
so per cent Of the heavy freight for
Vermont could be brought here by
barges This would include the coal sup
ply.
Plans were made for getting large
number of Vermonters to attend the
meeting of the New England water
ways association at Boston, Sept 24-27.
