Immense fortunes were made; pros.

Britain lost millions of men killed and
millions Of others wounded. Less than
sixty thousand American heroes sleep
beneath the sod of France. These

In a speech that fairly rang with
patriotism and that was filled with
the highest praise for the achieve
ments of the American armies in
France, Carter Glass, secretary of the
treasury, fred the opening broadside
for the Victory Liberty loan at the
Minneapolis Auditorium the night of
March 30. .
After painting a stirring picture of
the record made by our citizen SOL
diery against the best of the German
empire, Mr.. Glass declared hat the
fathers and mothers of America who
gave 1900, 600 sons to die if need be
in their country's cause will not has
gle over. the material cost of saving
the soul of civilization from the per-
dition of Prussian tyranny"
Mr.. Glass spoke in a hall packed
with Victory Liberty Loan workers
delegates to the Better Business con
vention. His remarks We're punctuat-
ed with liberal applause and every
word was carefully followed by the big
throng. The secretary spoke in part
as follows:
When | am told of the difficulties
which will beset the Victory Loan l
refuse to lose faith in the enduring pa
triotism of the American people.
But, ! am told that we must APP
proach the problem of future loans in
a distinctly cold-blooded mood. Some
men tell me it will be impossible again
to appeal to the patriotism Of the
American people. Frankly, gentle
men, | should despair Of my country
if these things were exactly true. |
should doubt our ability to cope with
the problems of peace If so quickly We
should forget the obligations of war.
| wonder if those who talk in this
fashion speak considerably? They
tell about the sacrifices the American
people have made, and in their voices
there Is a metallic tone and in their
mind unconscious austerity.
What Are Our Sacrifices?
What is meant by the sacrifices
of war for America? Where are our
devastated fields and ruined cities?
Where our cathedrals destroyed?
Where our defiled women and starved
children and wrecked men? Where on
this wide continent does hunger stalk
abroad or pestilential disease claim
its thousands of victims? Is it, then
a serious sacrifice to invest ones
money in the Understanding obliga

IA Children at
Detention Home
Looking for Santa

There are IA rosy checked, clean
little children cut at the deten-
ton home eagerly looking for
ward to visit from Santa Claus
They have enough confidence that
the good Saint Nick isn't going
to overlook "li'l children like u.s.
to prepare-just like other kid
dies their lists of desires. And
yet-'way in their tiny brains
seems an apprehension Of disap-
pointment indicated by the sues
ton "You 'spose Sanity will come
to a house where there's so many
children, and no papas and ma
mas ?"
This was the query put to sew
eral Pine Bluff ladies who visited
the home. Of course, the young
sters were treasured. They were
told positively that Sanity would
be just as careful to visit them as
he is to give presents to the little
boys and girls with mamas and
papas. Y.
And just to make certain that
the little wards of the county will
not weep with disappointment be-
cause "Santy didn't comes" one of
the ladies made notes of what
each child at the home is hoping
Santa Claus will bring. One
curly headed little boy wants a
pair of Sunday breaches that
won't bust" A little girl desires
wrist watch, so that she can
"tell the time like my teacher
does"

hearted Pine Bluff people will de-

ness by contributing to the tIlight

SHANTUNG AMENDMENT WILL BE LOST, SENATOR'S THINK
Close Vote Expected-Kel- logg and Hale, Republicans, Against It, But Favor Res ervations.

Washington, Oct. 16.-Debate on the Shantung amendment to the peace treaty was resumed in the senate to- day with leaders hopeful that a final vote on it will be had before ad- iournment. Although contending that the vote would be close, supporters of the proposal generally conceded that it would be defeated.
 Kellogg Opposes Amendment.
 At the outset of the debate, Sena- tor Kellogg, republican, Minnesota, announced his opposition to the amendment declaring 1t would be in- consistent for the United States to presume to dictate in the Far East now after remaining silent while Germany and other nations had seized territory there in years past.
 The Shantung settlement was con- demned as immoral by the Minnesota senator who said he would support a reservation by which the United States would decline to be a party to the transaction.
 E'ayorS Reservation.
 NeldlOf Hale, TepuDllcan, Name also announced he would vote against the Shantung amendment and added he expected to vote against the John son amendment for equalization of voting power in the league of nations He said he favored a reservation dealing with Shantung and would vote against the treaty unless such d res ervation were adopted.
 Passes Buck to China.
 In urging defeat of the Shantung amendment, Senator PheIan, demo crat, California declared American interest were not only embraced in the preservation of peace but in riddng America of the Japanese in cubus.
 If Japan must expand then her expansion in Shantung. by agreement with China is more acceptable to us than her expansion in America" :" Senator Phelan said. "She has inaugurated a steamship service which dominates the Pacific and landing her nationals up on North and South American shores"

 PUBLIC, IS STATEMENT
Swift Declares Commissions Report Puts acking In-
 dustry in Wrong Light.

Chicago, Oct. 16.-Mr. Swift's state ment denying the report reads in part:
 The packing industry is again put in wrong light by the latest in stallment of the series of attempts on the part of the federal trade com mission to scare the American people into the belief that the large packers are getting control of the food sup ply of the country.
 In the first place the packers do not control anything. Swift & Co. IS in active competition with all other packers in the purchase and sale of every product bought and sold.
 "Tho charge that the five packers have divided the field. each specialize ing on certain lines is absurd. Swift & Co. handles only such products as logically result from being in the packing business and such other pro- ducts as Can be handled efficiently through it's sales organization and re- friScrating equipment. The net re- suit is the lowering of selling costs, moro direct marketing from producer to consumer and q better service to the public. This statement we stand ready to prove to any impartial '-rfis"nfrfs ss@''s|''s' "~~' cs'~"~7
 There is no ground for the claim that the large packers bid fair to dominate the wholesale grocery trade. Swift X company's sales of grocery products amount 10 only a little over ono per cent of the total wholesale grocery business. The five large packers together handle not to OK Ceed three per cent.
 "The trade commissions figures showing the percentage of poultry and eggs handled by the large packers are greatly exaggerated.
 We have issued figures based on department of agriculture reports showing that Swift X Co. handles cnly about six per cent of the total quantity of these products sold in the country"

Huntington, W.

It is expected that the union officers will take steps imme- diatey to secure complete details of the turning back of the organizers and place the facts before state off cials with request for an investiga- tion.
 Shortly before midnight last, the 50 organizers, who left here early We'd nesday morning for Logan, w. Va, returned to Huntington and reported that they had been stopped near To- gan by armed men ana that later an armored train with several hundred armed men and machine guns on board had followed their train back across the Logan county line to d point near this city. The organizers said the armed force was made up of company officials. county officers and miners. They denied ass ertions of Don Chain, Logan county clerk, that when searched by deputies at Logan 26 pistols were found on members of tho party.
