EQUAL TO COVENANT WITH HE'LL.

EQUAL TO COVENANT WITH HE'LL.
America, unless we repudiate civilization and
abandon humanity and put premium on savag-
cry and brutality, car make no covenanted peace,
no peace bv agreement or negotiation with Ger
nlany It would be covenant with hell, a partner
ship with i.lfamy.
No: would such peace secure peace, except
so long as it suited Germany. We can judge the
future only hy the past, and to Germany sacred
treaties are scraps of paper only. Germany's en-
tire history is record of national treachery ma
tional bad faith, national dishonor, national mur
der, and national infamy.
Article fjfty-six Of The Hague Convention, to
which Germany solemnly subscribed, is Family
honor and rights, the lives Of persons and private
property, as well religious convictions and prac-
tice, must be respected. Private property can not
be confiscated"
The world knows how Germany has observed
this article There millions of individual wit
nesses to her fragrant breaches Of it. Every acre
Of foreign soil Germany has occupied bears mute,
but unimpeachable evidence of it. There is plenty
Of German evidence Of it. too.
OF the old men and children murdered Of the
women and girls ravished, of the noncombatants
taken from their homes and deported to work for
their conquerors, Of the merchant ships sunk and
passengers and crews murdered, Of the hospital
ships SUNK the hospitals and unfortified cities
bombed Of the mutilation and murder by cruci-
fixion and otherwise Of wounded and captured sol
diersof all this beastliness there is plenty Of ev-
idence evidence that one can disbelieve.
The best answer to German peace propaganda
is sinking more U-boats sending more men to
France, speeding up work along every line,
and heavy subscription to the Fourth Liberty
Loan Peace must mean the triumph Of right and
justice, the defeat of Germanis1n, not truce with
it, not compromise with it.
Our soldiers in France are gloriously doing
their part toward victory; the Liberty Loan sub
scription must show them that the people at home
are doing theirs.

 The Merchants and Planters bank was the first institution to change their time. Their clock was set for ward during the early hours of the afternoon One man forgetting that anything is impossible during these fast days, imagined the courthouse clock had spooks in it when he chanced to see the hands make a jump of , minutes, at 93O, and then keep moving until it had gained an hour. It was found later that some fellow had been requested to adjust the clock little prematurelJ.

CAN1EEN SERVICE

 NEGRO SELEC1MEN
Men Passing Thru are Given Breakfast By Red Cross
 Committee Here.

About 275 negro selectmen, on their way to serve their country in it's hour of need, were made happy yesterday morning by the thoughtfulness of the Pine Bluff women composing the can teen service of the Red Cross. Learn ing that the trainload of sOldiers-tO be was coming, and that it would stop here to pick up some GA men called by the two local boards, the patriotic women made elaborate preparations for the comfort of the men. The unoc supied store at 119 Main street was se cured and lunch prepared, consist ing of sandwiches, cakes, pies, fruit and ice water. The assistance of a committee of local colored men and women was obtained, and members of this committee met the men at the train and conducted them to the "can teen"
 There was no doubt as to the de light and surprise of the men when they were marched up Main street tc the waiting lunch. Several of them explained that because of wreck in the path of their train, they had eaten nothing since the previous evening Every man was asked if he had had enough before he was allowed to leave and the unvarying reply was in the af' firmative.
 A talk was made to the prospective soldiers by Prof. Wm. Townsend prin cipal of Merrill High school.
 Another trainload of 43o is expected at 6:45 this morning and the canteen service committee has made arrange ments to care for them in the same way.
 The canteen service work is in the hands of committee, headed by Mrs w. T. Lowe. The other members arc Mrs. Nick Can't, secretary and treas urer; Mrs. Turner Bradford, Mrs. w o. Taggart, Mrs. E. c. McMullen, Mrs J. F. Mcintyre, Mrs. Leo Andrews, Mrs Hugh Fox and Mrs. E. B. Bloom.

FAITHFUL OFFICIAL
 SEEKING PROMOTION
l.. T. Sallce, for 20 Years Deputy County Clerk, Seeks Nomination
 for Clerkship.

In private business, it is the policy whenever vacancy occurs, to give 1t to the man next in line who has prov ed loyal and efficient, or who has displayed ability indicating that ne would make good" ill the position just ahead. And this has proved good business policy, bringing to prl- vate enterprises managers and de- partment heads familiar with the duties of the office they assume, ana trained in methods to render the best service to the company or corpor- ation and it's patrons. Having ob- served how this works out in private business. there is a growing dispo- sition upon the part of men who are desirous of securing for the public the most competent and loyal service to follow the same principle.
 And men who hold the view. are responsible in large measure for the announcement in this issue of The Graphic chosing that l.. T. Sallee is candidate for the nomination for county and probate clek. He is run nins. of course. as a Democrat. He cast his first ballot in Pine Bluff years ago, and has been member of the party since he attained his majority.
 Having served for 20 years as dep- uty county clerk. and having proved that he is competent in every way to handle the duties of the office. MT. Sallee feels that tie voters will a4s- prove his application for the place "higher up'-the clerkshir. The duties of the county clerk are numer- ous anr varied. Besides acting as secretary of the county. and as clero of the probate court, the clerk of .Jefferscn county now handles the records of several districts, including the free bridge district. The work requires man of skill. experience, honesty and courtesy. MT. Sallee possesses all of these qualifications.
 The manner in which the records upon which MT. Sallee has worked are kept has won approval from all familiar with court records, and distinc uished Little Rock attorney WACSC Pl i1hCo llllil Io uAl pol CS of the state sail recently that the records of the Jefferson county clerks office were i1 better shape than these of any office in the state. The average citizen does not fully appreciate the necessity Of having a thOroly competent man ill charge of tho office; he may be prone to think that airy good. honest man will do. It is this feeling that is responsible for the records of some counties be- ing in such bad shape, and few know anything about .he defects until some legal complication arises thru the inconpetency of the clerk. What the average citizen does appreciate, how ever is fair and courteous treatment from public officials. In this expect, too. MT. Sallee is satisfactory. as he treats every man who has business with the office with courtesy and renders the service desired.
 Because of these facts, and because Jefferson Democrats have ever prov ed willing to be fair and just; to rem der to every man that which is his due. it is predicted that L. T. Sallee will not be opposed. Because, his friends say, he is entitled to promo tion. and the people are fair enough to grant him the place he deserves.

CHANGING THf TINE
 A GENUINE COMEDY
Many Amusing Things Hap pened as Result of Day
 light Saving Plan.

It has long been the idea among children that when it is dark on this side of the world, the other side ;s in the same condition. But later in life the individual comes to see the folly of the idea.
 Even the amusing remarks made by the children on such subjects hardly compare with the many argu- ments instigated because of the charge made when the hands of the clock were advanced one hour.
 One woman stated that sine would now get off at o'clock in the after noon. which in reality would be 4 o'clock. This would be the means of saving two hours, she said. Another said it would be impossible to run the clocks up an hour unless the sun were fixed accordingly.
 Of course it is expected that some of the skeptical sort of people will still hang on to the old system, but since the trains and their rural car riers will go according to the new ruling. they will eventually find it decidedly to their advantage to make the change.
 One old farmer was lamenting, because he fears he can't tell when to quit at midday. when his shadow will not correspond to the old one at 12 o'clock. He forgot to recall that he can imagine that it is only IT o'clock and in reality it will be noon by the new time.
 One woman said she did not be- ]ieye the Lord intended that any such change should be made fss
 5fAnother woman who called on the telephone stated that certain event would be strictly according to "Hov-
