BARROW FIELD 0R NOTHING, VERDICT
 QF MAJ. fR|SSELL:
Unless Ten Acres of Tract Can be Used, Pliers Will
 Go Elsewhere.

Unless ten acres of the Barrow tract can be secured, Pine Bluff will net be landing point for Uncle Sams avlators from Eberts field, near Lonoke, on their daily flights, This is the decision of Maj. Patrick Frazzell, commandant of Eberts field, communicated to the local com- mittee on landing station site yester- day, after several proposed sites had been inspected. Major Frizzell said he would not return for another inspect ion of tracts, as the Barrow field is the only enc that is suitable. E. B. Bloom and George H. Adams will con-. fer today with Wiley Barrow, in the effort to arrange for the use of the land selected by Major Frizzell. MT. Barrow has asked $50 per acre ren- tai for this year, explaining that he has already planted cotton on the land. and has cultivated the crop at considerable cost.
 That the Barrow tract is the most attractive to the airmen from the air is indicated by the fact that Lieut.. Earl M. Harvey landed there on his first trip to Pine Bluff, altho anoth- CT place had been marked, and Ma jor Frizzell did the same thing yes terday, coming down within 100 yards of where Lieutenant aHrvey had landed. Ordinarily 40 Or 50 acres are needed for a landing station, but be- cause of the absence of obstructions of any kind about the portion of the Barrow tract selected, Major Frissell said ten acres will be sufficient. Not so much ground is needed to land up- on or rise from, as clear space about the field.
 Two machines made the trip to Pine Bluff yesterday. Major Frissell and Lieut.. A. B. Lawrence occupied one machine, and Lieuts. Earl M. Harvey and Thos. J. Kiaran the other: Both were supposed: to alight at Seven teenth and Ohio, on the Simmons tract, but the place did not look at- tractive to the airmen because of trees and wires. Major Frissell came down on the Barrow field and Lieu tenant Harvey near the packing
 All the officers were guests of the Rotary club at luncheon at the Hotel Pines at noon. In the forenoon and afternoon, they were shown four other proposed sites, Major Frissell and Lieutenant Lawrence being mo- tored about by J. l.. Longino, Felix Smart and George Adams, while Lieutenants Harvey and Kiaran were in charge of H. l. Holderness and E. B. Bloom, with Mrs. H. E. Williams as hostess in her car.

Work and Recreation.

The kind of work cannot be relied
on continuously to satisfy the play
instinct, any more than one form Of
exercise can develop and strengthen
the body symmetrically. Hence, in
seeking recreation follow some form OF
work not connected with earning ones
Iivelihood-work that will extend ones
contact with life, broaden the mental
vision, and be carried on purely for its
own sake. In other words. work that
Is not compulsory. but sought solely
for its interest and attraction and the
satisfaction of doing 1T. The absence
of compulsion to some extent frees
the spirit, and gives to work more
recreatiOnal character. These are the
foundations, observes a writer, Of that
happy and contented, or at least in
terested, state of mind which we seek
to attain by recreation

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE. February 6.-The saying that
the individual soldier is a mere pawn
in tho game Of war has been dis
proved In this conflict. where no price
in labor and money Is considered too
high provided 1t means the possible
saving of the life OF single soldier.
The loss of supplies. waste of ammu-
milton and other deeds involving heavy
expenditure are considered part Of the
fortunes of war. but there is short
shrift in the allied armies for the Off
GER who. through cafelessness. incom-
potency or neglect of orders. causes the
loss of a single soldier The unneces-
sary killing or merely the wounding or
losing by capture of a man is considered
sufficient for a court-martial. This was
Stfikingly illustrated short time ago
in one of the many armies at the front
Plans had been made OF the enemy
lines and carefully worked out After
the artillery had hammered the enemy
trenches a raiding party dashed over,
captured close to 200 Germans, killed
and wounded as many more and return
ed with loss Of thirty men. Though the
artillery on this occasion used $4,000
900 worth Of ammunition in preparation
for the raid, 1t was found that the COM
manding general had saved 100000 by
the barrage. Saving this fortune was
considered inexcusable in view of the
fact that the heavy casualties might
have been prevented.
