MEN AND N IN WAR

The French writer. NJ. Andre CherA-
dame. who has been having a series Of
articles in the Atlantic Monthly on the
great problem Of the Allies in the war
with Germany, treats in the latest is
sue OF that magazine Of the political
strategy" involved. As in other as
poets of the conflict he sets forth the
enormous advantage that the autocrat-
ic empire had gained from its many
a Of preparation while those who
we're to be made It's enemies were
stacking and indulging in peace friv-
olities. He contends that while 1t
failed in its first great object in france"
and has had its energies diverted to
more lines of effort than It foresaw. ii
has lost none OK its politically strat"
gic advantage
S~ingularly enough, the writer gives
little attention to the
view; but 1t is virtually assumed
that that is unimpaired. because.
though the German government
may have no foreign credit It
has unlimited credit within its
own domain. and can exact n
amount from its subjects by taxation
and loans. No reference at all is made
20 the depletion or possible exhaustion
OF the man power in the ranks o. the
armies
II is nanifestly absurd to assume
that mar power in armies is !Dcxhaus'
tible, eve II it can obtain ample Sus'
tenance and a sufficient supply OF what
il must use in fighting. There is no
question about the wonderful army
that Germany had in 1914. wonderful

ing and discipline. bur il has been al

il was not composed Of in~destructlble
material. 4 great proportion OF Il mas

with that of lower quality, n the

exhaustion has been long at work, and
bv no means without effect. The blood
and brain. the physical and mental
y!So-, are not at all likely to be re-
.Tlaced from Russia or from any region
on earth. Money enough cannot be
made or stolen, and men enough can
not be brought TO life or forced into
activity for Germany 10 win this war,
il tho enemies it has made and whose
lives It has sought to control or else
destroy have in them the spirit OF men
10 whom life. liberty and the pursuit
of happiness are still worth fighting
for or defending where thcE exist.

 Chas. l.. Thompson has been ap- pointed by Chairman Lloyd England of the State Council as state chair man on building proposals, and he has named Gus Lyon, T. E. BTrow, George Pugh, and J. R. Vinson of Little Rock as the advisory commit tee. County committees will be ap- pointed throughout the state.
 All building propositions must be passed upon by these authorities, and the permit be issued by the War ln- dustries Board in Washington, for projects exceeding $2500 in cost.

SECRETARY OF STATE ASKS
 THIRTY-FIVE CENT COTTON

Little Rock, Sept. 24.-Secretary of State Tom J. Terral has sent the fol- lowing letter to President Wilson:
 May I not suggest that the price of cotton be fixed at a rate not lower than thirty-fve cens. Il urge this, MT. President, because the cost of production and marketing cotton is extremely high, and doubt if the farmers could make any profit at a rate lower than l have suggested.
 This year we have suffered from a drouth that has almost ruined our cotton crop, and fear that if the rate is fixed lower than thirty-fve cents it will mean a very serious loss to the farmers of the South"

HOUSE APPROVES THE PROHIBITION
 RIDER II ID 34
Wine May Not Be Imported After Presidents Signature Measure Will Now Be Sent to Conference.

Washington, Sept. 23. - National prohibition, effective next July 1, for the period of the war was approved tonight by the House which adopted I'll to 34, the Senate prohibition rider to the $12,0OO,O0O emergency agricul- tural appropriation bill. The measure now will be sent to conference for ad- justment of differences between the two houses on appropriation items.
 The House adopted, 103 to 6l, an amendment permitting the importa tion of wine until next May l, which was inserted by the House commit tee to meet objections of the Italian French, Spanish and Portugese gov ernments. As originally drawn, the measure would have prohibited the importation of wine immediately after its approval by the president.
 All efforts otherwise to amend the legislation also were defeated. A pro posal by Representative Kahn, of California, to extend the effective date for prohibiting the sale of wine and beer to December 31, 1919, was de- feated 112 to 52, as was one by Rep resentative Beshlin, of Pennsylvania, Democrat, to change the date for stopping the manufacture of beer and wine from next May to December l, 1919.
 After voting in the committee of the whole to accept an amendment permitting the importation of wine until next May 1, the House later re- versed its decision and by vote of 121 to 59 retained the original Senate provision that importation of wine must cease when the measure be- comes effective upon its signature by the President.
 Four other amendments, two of which sought to have the government pay for the liquor unsold when prohi- bition becomes effective, also were re- iected.
