State of Arkansas, and acting in my official capacity, do hereby proclaim Friday, August End, 1918, as Bel gium Relief Day" in the State of Ar kansas, on which day I earnestly ap- peal to the patriotic citizenship of our great commonwealth to contrib ute and collect shoes and winter gar ments for the relief of oppressed Bel gians. I earnestly appeal to every minister of every denomination in the state to refer to the necessity for such contributions in his sermons preached both morning and evening on Sunday, July 18th. I also appeal to the patriotic women's organiza- tions in each community in the state to solicit contributions on August 2, and the week proceeding, and I direct that the supplies so collected shall be forwarded to the Belgian Relief Com- mission, 113 w. 4th, Little Rock, with the assurance that it will be properly forwarded to Europe in time to alleviate the sufferings of these brave people before the severest part of the winter overtages them.
 Since our brave boys have been baptized in fire and have signally distinguished themselves, in resisting the Hun offensive, I deem it an ap- propriate time and an appopriate manner to show our gratitude to a God-fearing and liberty-loving peo- pie and to Almighty God who ho.deth within the hollow of His divine hand the destiny of nations as we'll as the lives of individuals.
 In Testimony Whereof, I have hereunto set hand, and caused to be affixed the Great Seal of State on this the 17th day of July, 1918.
 Charles H. Brough,
 Governor.

"PLANE NEW"

ABOUT CONFLICT

Washington, May 9.-There is al
most no trace of the horrors of war il
Plane News, newspaper edited anC
printed by soldiers of the American
eXpeditionary force in France. The
war anniversary issue, dated "On Ac-
tive Service, April 6. 1915" just re-
ceived here, tells of minstres and vau-
deville, symphony concerts ana liter
airy contests, and the little everyday
complaints Of the man in the aviation
corps.
For those Americans back home who
grow weary in we'll doing, the newspa-
per is one grand topic of optimism.
Stretching across the top of the first
of the papers four pages is the para
phrase of Secretary Redfield's famous
letter to his bureau chiefs:
Forget how things were done be-
fore the war. Eliminate red tape. We
must learn with the Germans that the
war won't wait. Delay is the Kaiser's
ally"
1 The corps is prond of what has been
accomplished in the first year of the
war Prominence is given in the pa
per to an official communication from
/ Brigadier General B. d. Foulois, chief
/ of the air service, to Lieutenant Colo
mel Walter G. kilner, commanding Of
| ficer of the post, saying that the pro-
gress made has met with high appro-
val from both Secretary Baker, whose
picture, sketched by an army artist,

Pershing. An article reviewing the
tremendous expansion of the signal
corps, appears under the signature of
Cadet William B. Stone, of Kansas Ci-
ty, formerly of the San Francisco and
Chicago offices of The Associated
Press, in which he quotes high Off
Ger as declaring confidently:
"When the American airplanes are
ready for the front, we will have pi-
lots to drive them"

students and pilots that the paper is

BOYS AND GIRLS
ASKED To SAVE
TROOPS FROM CAS-

New York, Nov. 5.-Every boy and
girl in this country is again asked by
the United States government to hep
save American soldiers from the hol
rors of German gas. The chemica'
warfare division of the army has
urged them to gather every walnut,
hickory and butternut in the woods
about their hcmes this fail to help
make gas masks for the American
troops in France. 1t is from the shells
of these nuts that the charcoal for
gas masks must come for the next six
months or more.
There is said to be ready AMI
profitable market for the nutmeats,
making it practicable to turn the
shells into the government immedi-
ately. Whole nuts can also be used.
For collection purposes the Red Cross
has arranged $50 collection centers
through the country for the concen-
tration of shells. They will be shipped
from these points in carload lots to
the government carbon plants at New
York and san FRANCISCO.
The Boy Scouts have enlisted the
aid of their $4,000 young members in
this work as have the Camp Fire
Girls. Through the department OF ag-
riculture all county agents of that de-
partment will organize nutting parties
In addition every school is urged 10

to encourage nut gathering In every
spare momoment Of the pupils time.
The aid of the young people VIII be

1 100000 pounds of shells and fruit

cannot buy more than one-third the
necessary shells at present. In fact'
that the shell sof all the cocoanuts
grown in the West Indies and Central
America, If they could be obtained,
would not fill the neels. They are
making arrangements to get the shell
fro mthe East Indies, but it will be

they must mix the available shell
