full knowledge of their safety as in- vestments and patriotic features of their purchase has filtered into quart CTS not heretofore reached by bank literature.
 The result has been the bringing to light of vast sums which heretofore have been taken from commerce and industry and hidden away by the sav- ing and thrifty. Even greater sums from the same source will go into the new issue.
 Even the most ignorant and Hitter ate hoarder of his money can be made to understand that the United States Government is firmly back of the bonds He can also be impressed that his purchase helps to strengthen the position of the Government, thus making his wealth the more secure.
 Once the horder has gotten used to being parted from his money, he will rarely revert to putting his funds in to sock, and the ultimate result will be the adding to incalculable sums to the commercial medium of exchange. Every dollar in circulation and in the banks increases three-fold the credit of the unit of wealth.
 Experts in savings are unanimous that the Liberty Bonds educational value in the field of savings has nev- CT been equaled. The temporary with

The orders of the State Board of Health are in effect in the city of Pine Bluff in an effort to check the spread of Spanish Influenza. The or der is not in effect only, but is being obeyed to the letter It is probable quite few will be inconvenienced by the order, but the city's health and safety is of utmost importance. The ready response of all places affected was a surprise. No kicks have been registered by the proprietors. How ever, quite a few customers are not taking to the order kindly.
 It is possible the did is clamped down" rather hard and tight, but it is with the best interests of the people and their welfare that such drastic orders have been issued. It is to be hoped the condition will not exist very long but all precautions must and will be taken.

best soldiers in the world have gone overseas to back up that statement of our President; millions more are fast being made ready for overseas duty; every necessary article of war is now being made in abundance to supply these brave lads with the tolls of death and destruction, neces- sary to eliminate the Huns from the face of the otherwise peaceful earth. The boys are going about their work with a vim that backs up their every utterance of President Wilson in that great speech.
 The new peace drive, we believe, will prove fruitless. Times are not right flo rthe giving of peace to the Germans. Every true American wants them to pay the full measure of jus ticc to the wronged peoples of the lands they have laid desolate, and to that end we believe MT. Wilson will fight on and on. until finally he can dictate from the shoulders of his fel- low-soldiers. in the streets of Berlin the terms and conditions of peace to all nations.
 The Germans are now like unto the boy in the street, they are willing to accept any temporary let-up in the smashes of the allies, and would, we believe agree to almost any condi- tions, believing that in the end they would grow strong in military power again and re-take all the lost advan- tages of the present war.
 Let us, wanting peace as all of us do, remember the statement made by a captured Hun officer just few days ago when questioned about when he thought the Germans would take dinner in Paris, he said, "not at pres ent," but he added with open defiance, i've will be with you ten years from now"
 Study this remark, and then look over the prospects today for last ing peace, under present conditions.

 GERMAN WHO WAS
 NOT WITH KAISER
Man Is About to Be Releas- ed From Prison After
 2 Years Confinement.

London, Oct. 6.-Dr Karl Lieb- knecht, who, according to the Am sterdam report is about to be released from prison, probably is the most striking figure in German Socialism and one of the few Socialist leaders in that country who have consistently stood against the government in it's war policies
 lin, May 1, 1916, on the charge of participating in riots that day in the German capitol. In the following month he was tried on the charge of attempted high treason, gross lnsub- ordination and resistance to the au- thorities. The trial was held behind closed doors and resulted in the So- cialist leader being sentenced to thirty months penal servitude and dis missal from the army.
 It has been alleged that Dr. Lleb- knecht was in possession of import ant documents showing that Austria was forced into the war by the Ger man military leaders against the wishes of Vienna and Budapest gov ernments.
 Dr. Liebknecht for several years represented Potsdam in the reich stag. His constituency composed a large body of working men employed in government work. In 1913 the So- cialist leader exposed the German war party's bribery plot, On this occasion he accused Krupps of insplr- ing war spirit in Germany against France in order to sell munitions. His charges that Krupps bribed certain army officers to give the armament firm advance information on con. tracts resulted in the conviction ot four lieutenants.
 Deputy Wilhelm Dittmann is an Independent Socialist. His name was linked in October 1917 with those of Deputies Haase and Vogtherr, other Socialists with the mutiny in the Ger man fleet Dittmann was arrested m Berlin February when he attempted to address crowd in a Berlin suburb. He was sentenced to five years imprl- sonment for melting to high treason and was given two months additional for resisting public authority.

LIBERTY LOAN ISSUES
 ABSORB SOCK BANKS
Hoarded Wealth Drawn From Secret Places by Uncle Sam's Call for
 Safe Investment.

Socks, bed tickings, tin cans and other improvised savings banks are rapidly going into the discard, and the hoarded wealth they contain ed is gradually finding it's way into the vaults N Uncle Sam through the Liberty Bond route.
 Experts in savings say that more than 95 per cent of the money hoard ed and hidden away is so kept because of the ignorance of it's owners, who are suspicious of banks and unwilling to allow their wealth to get out ct their hands.
 Years of education by saving banks and trust companies have. served to overcome much of this distrust, but no agency has ever proved as potent m unearthing secreted savings as the United States Liberty Bond issues;
 Publicity regarding Liberty Bonds has been so intensively handled that

 There will be meeting of the plan ters of Jefferson County at the court house at 1:30 Thu rsday afternoon. The purpose of the meeting is with, held but all are requested to attend without fail.
 Chairman Tomlinson stated that he was very much gratified over the large crowd at the, Liberty Loan meeting on Monday evening and that it lead him to believe that he now has the hearty support of the public but the way to prove it is to take out the Liberty bonds.
 The quarantine rules will have no effect on the meeting of the planters on Thursday afternoon.

AILMENTS OF WOMEN.

There is no denying the fact that thousands of American women drag along day in and day out suffering with those ailments peculiar to their sex which make life a burden. If women who suffer from dragging down pains, inflammatory, Liberated or catarrhal conditions, would only give that greatest of all remedies, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Con- pound, trial, they would readily fine relief from such suffering, as the many letters of commendation constnatly being published prove.

drawals from savings accounts will in the long run more than be made up when the proceeds of the bonds go in- to circulation and the stream of in- terest payments begin to flow to the owners
 Further, the sock saver can be shown that he need never fear theft or loss, especially if he elects to buy registered bonds.
 History and romance are full of stories of stolen savings and tears and sufferings through the losses. Liberty Bonds can be put a period to all such unhappy experiences.

WOODROW WILSON AND PEACE

Whatever has been the ideals of other men in war times; what they have intended to do for the nation as whole, and the world at large, along the lines of perpetual peace, there can be no comparison between those men with the present chief executive of these United States-Woodrow Wilson.
 In the peace proposal of Saturday, coming like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky, the layman must notice that in each of every instance Wood row Wilson and the United States were appealed to.
 First, in the beginning President Wilson laid before the entente allies and the opposing nations his famous fourteen conditions" upon which a just and equitable peace would be es- tablished, and since that time he has flatly refused to consider anything les than the conditions named in that article.
 President Wilson is man of peace he loves peace as we'll or better than the average American, but he is instilled with that spirit which has made this country the supreme na- tion of nations-always willing to bend point to have peace, but once pushed into a war they have al- ways, carried out it's purpose, what ever the cost.
 On April 7th, 1917, Woodrow Will son appeared before Congress, called in extraordinary session to consider the grave problems arising from the continued menace to neutral shipping and lives by the ruthless submarine warfare of the Huns. He asked for complete power to declare a state of war, and, if necessary to enter into a state of war with the German govern ment, this power was given him inn n,ediately, and from that day the United States has moved forward WILL 0A0Au ul14ls 0pCV0 dAi0LAlC ACo allies and causing worry and appre- hension among it's enemies.
 Munition plans have sprung up over night, soldiers have been made out of the young manhood of the country; officers with ability and ab- solute fearlessness have been grad uated from the various schools, and many of them have already been recognized for bravery and coolness under fire; the entire country was put on a war footing that has astound- ed the world for its scope.
 In his memorial speech at the tomb of the father of our country, at Mt. Vernon last July 4th, Woodrow Wilson definitely sealed the doom of the Germans and their henchmen when at the conclusion of the most forceful and explicit talk he ever made to his people he said that Am erica's answer to the German peace note was Force, force to the ut most"

The latest German drive is still rang

American troops are not engaged, but
are on the alert and their lines have
been frightened. The men are now rested
after the Cantigny battle and are i'm
patient to assist the French. The artiI-
Iery duelling is terrific and the cannon
aiding is incessant and deafening day
and night.
The Germans sent two raiding parties
against the United States lines in
dependent of the offensive against the
French.
A lieutenant and forty Germans
charged outposts Of the first line using
grenades, but they were driven off after
IA sharp duel, in which the Americans
used their to good effect.
A second attempt was made later when
the Germans tried to mop up" a trench.
They failed, due to the pluck of our men
although the Americans were outnum-
bered.
