UNDER THREE FLAGS.
(By Barton Blake)

American Red Cross, 4 Place de la Concorde, Paris, Feb. 8.-When Ger many plunged the world in war the United States waited-hoping against hope-but there were some Americans who did not wait
 You found them. here and there, in the ranks of the British army, among the Canadians, and in the Foreign Le- zion of France
 You found them, too, soldiers of hu- manity, driving ambulances behind the French front and feeding the men, women, and children of Belgium un- der the very shadow of German au- thority and relentlessness.
 Today, though it's work has not stopped, the Commission for Relief in Belgium must do without the service of the Americans in the field. Other neutrals have been found to take their places. The question has been asked; What has become of the American field workers of the Com mission for Relief in Belgium?
 have seen some of them-in France. They who once had to work under the German flag, are now proudly working under the flags of the two republics. They are inside the line.
 One of them, Edward Eyre Hunt, the former delegate for the province of Antwerp, is now chief of the bureau of rehabilitation and relief of the American Red Cross in France He has at least four of his old associates working in that bureau, L. c. Yelling ton, who used to care for the welfare of the people of Lille and Valen- , ciennes and the Belgian proFince' of LuXemburg as representative of the Commission for relief in Belgium, is now in charge of the Arras district as representative of the American Red 1 Cross, where he can almost see the very towns for which he cared in Bel gian commission days. w. B. Jack son, whose work for the commission was at Liege, is now deputy for the SOmme district in France. D. s. Nor gan, likewise at Liege, is with MT. whose father was born in Belgium but became an American citizen, was a student of medicine at LOuvain when the war broke out. He acted for the Relief Commission in Brabant He Is now one of MT. Hunts aids in his Red Cross work of relief and rehabilitation, as is ]. L. Simpson, whose Belgian ex- perience took him to VerVin, Antwerp, Liege and Brussels.
 As time goes on, more of France and Belgium will be uncovered" Gas Red Cross workers put it in their unvarn- ished conversational and the soldiers of humanity will advance behind the bayOnets to repair the wreck of war They will help, not just to keep life in the inhabitants of France and Bel gium, as formerly, but to make Bel gium and France whole again-and more than ever themselves. It is not charity they are working-but they are cooperating with the people of these lands to make a fresh start, as the Germans are little by little got rid of-zand what a drama it will be when some of the American workers actu- ally reach the very places they were formerly working in under the Ger man flag-but under the German flag no more!

BY WAY OF EJACULATION

It is a barren mind that can't think up excuses, and now some we'll mean ing apologists have come forward to excuse the kaiser.
 Careful scrutiny of his recent de meanor in Holland, they say, indi cates that he is insane. His grandll oquent and theatrical behavior points to paranoia. He has for some years suffered from a form of mania, manF fest in his frequent allusions to the Almighty as his confidential partner And if he is insane he desryes pity rather than blame.
 This lets out Wilhelm. The Ger man people have already been let out because we have been repeateu! told that they entered the war al 'ns behest of their emperor. and not Ol their own desire.
 So no one is to blame. Millions ol homes have been desclated, miiiiols of men have been aaspeakapiy ,nu'l. lated, millions were killed. Mi'lioa' of women have been atroiciously my treated. No ones fault -

"T HAVEN'T BEEN ENTIRELY WELL BEFORE IN IS YEARS" SHE SAYS-TANLAC RESTORED HEALTH.

'I wouldn't take thousand dollars cash for the good Tanlac has done me-" said Mrs. Lula Reese, who re- sides at 1859 Hicks street, Augusta, Ga
 'It may sound strange, but l had suffered with stomach trouble, rheu- matism and neuralgia until l got to the place where I felt like I didn't care whether I lived or died. Every thing I ate soured on my stomach and made trouble for me, and in ad- dition to the rheumatism, fell and broke my arm, and it seemed like my other troubles kept it from heal ing like it ought to. just lived in misery all the time and couldn't get any relief.
 'T have just finished my second bottle of Tanlac, and it's surprising the way have improved, considering that I haven't been entirely well be fore in Is years The rheumatism and soreness is gone from my arm my stomach is alright and l can eat anything I want and digest it. have gained some in weight, am able to do my work, and feel good all the time I want everybody to kno" what Tanlac did for me"

 His politics? Really, 1 don't re- member. Seems like he is either Democrat or a Republican, but what is best of all, he is ALL MAN, and that ought to count.
 *&&A#*
 The "bone head" that was pulled" by a lot of election commissioners in about thirty-nine counties Tn the state in the general election Tn NO vember, whereby those counties were deprived of the 3-mill road tax Tor the next two years, should not pc permitted to reoccur.
 To be sure the attorney general thinks there may be some way around it. but that is not the ques- tion. Even granting that there IS remedy for it. which is not at all certain it is not business like way of doing things.
 The act to permit the counties ,o vote the three mill road tax has been on the statute books Just twenty years, and it has been con- stantly growing favor When once voted by county, it seldom repudi- ates it. But it has to be voted in each county every two years. And the attorney general rules that 1t has to be certified out and printed on the ballots by the commissioners every time. Just writing it on the ballot is not sufficient.
 Just why it was left off the ballot in thirty-nine counties will have to be answered by the commissioners of each county. Just forgot it." is probably the answer of majority of them
 It will be recommended to the ap- preaching legislature that something be done so that they will not forget hereafter It may be made manda- tory on the commissioners that they certify out the road tax. Another suggestion will be that the three mill road tax be levied in each county, annually as other taxes are levied, without having to submit it to a vote every time.
 Probably the greatest era of road building the United States has ever known is just ahead of us, and Ark ansas will not be any amiss in the part that it is to play.
 The development of the automobile truck is having a great influence on highway construction.
 G. T. Denmark, of Louisville, Ky, in a letter to Edward N. Hurley, chairman of the U. s. Shipping Board. who is interesting himself in the problem of transportation facili- ties for farmers, says:
 'In your idea and plans you want to reach every farmer having food stuff to market and every individual having ground to raise food stuff on. Then don't forget Arkansas. You have only to turn to your own record to know what Arkansas has done. What we need now to know is what to raise and after we have raised it, we want transportation

LITTLE ROCK LETTER
(By Clio Harper)


 Little Rock. Dec 16.-The next ses- sion of the General Assembly will convene on Monday, January 13. It will be an important session, since it will have to deal with many recon struction problems. It promises to be a hard working body, and to get down to business in short order. h. dications are that the Senate will be completely organized the first day, and it is not likely that more than two days will be required for the organization of the House.
 The war brought to the front in Arkansas many big men. men who have served their country whole heartedly and effectively in many ca pacities, and often with little pecuni- ary reward or none at all In this class is H. c. Couch of Pine Bluff, fuel administrator for the state, who has served in that capacity without compensation. That he has done a tremendous amount of positive good is recognized by all He has devot- ed much time and attention to the work and has frequently been called into council at Washington.
 Mir Couch is busy man-that is the kind the government called upon when it wanted work done. He is president of the Arkansas Light X Power Company. which operates light water and street railway properties in several cities of the state
 Notwithstanding the curtailment due to the prosecution of the war, the company continued to develop Arkansas. territery extensively For instance. 66.000 volt transmission line is now being constructed be- tween Newport and Tuckerman, in Jackson county. a distance of ten miles, ready for operation the middle of this month This will give Tuck erman a 24-hQur. service and also furnish light and power for. Diaz and other points, besides providing power for the operation of cotton gins and other industrial. plants.
 He has also completed the con struction of transmission lines to Stuttgart, extending into the rice fields. and an. extension from Eng land to Lonoke. Now that the war is over, it is his purpose to do every thing in his power to assist the de velopment of the rich territory over which these lines run

 When the Arkansas National Guard gets started again, and that is to be right away, it will probably have put into effect a new system of drills that will be distinct novelty. It Lontz of the General Staff, and has been demonstrated successfully in the regular army. It will be recommend ed for the national guard of this state by Adjutant General England. It applies an entirely new method of teaching the principles of close order drill, and develops the individuality of the men. It is described as GU ordination of mind and body and bringing into use the sense of hear ing as an aid in teaching the drill. It simply provides that the instruct or or captain tells the company what is to be done, and the men in the ranks give and execute the coni- mands in unison. Each man is there by made to feel that he is part of a big team, everyone sharing equally the responsibilities for the proper execution of the drill movements. When the captain gives the com mands, as in the present system, which has prevailed since the be- ginning of time. the captain alone is the leader, and the men are only aTtomata.
 Guy U. Hardy, editor of the Canon City Record, published at Canon City. Colo, has been elected to Con. gress from the third district of Colo rado.
 How is Arkansas interested in this announcement? Because there are hundreds in the state who know him personally, and thousands who have met him.
 Guy U Hardy, the gentleman from I Colorado,' was elected president ol | the National Editorial Association al the session which was held in Little Rock last June. Following the meet ing at Little Rock and Hot Springs he accompanied the excursion over the state, and addressed many gath crings ol citizens on that 200 mile trip. He was accompanied by Mrs Hardy, and they endeaned themselves to the members of the party, anC made a splendid impression every where.
 It was fitting that he should have been given the highest office in thu organization when it met in Arkan sas. because as boy he drove ove the hills and hollows of a large par of North Arkansas. and at one tim' his family owned land in Arkansas
 His many Arkansas friends arr glad that the people of Colorad' have honored Guy U. Hardy so sig nally. He deserves it. It seems t have been one of those rarest of al cases in modern politics, that of tn office seeking the man. for he wa not a candidate for the nomination He was not even at the assembi, which nominated hin.
