President Wilson's refusal to accept
the senate's reservations regarding par
ticipatiOn of the United States in the
league of nations is not going to add to
his rapidly waning prestige throughout
the country When Wilson first re-
turned to the country he was elected
to act as chief executive or, rather than
as globe trOtter for. and handed the
senate his peace treaty to be ratified
without the crossing of q It or dot
ting of an Il" the senate immediately
rebelled at the presidents high handed
policy. violating every precedent of
senatorial prerOgratiye. but at first
was rather timid in opposing the pres
ident's orders as the members had had
no opportunity of learning how the
people they are representing felt about
the matter.
The longer the treaty has been dis
cuSsed and the more the public has
been informed about it the more gen
eral has the opposition to many fea-
lures of the league of nations part of
it become. \ large majority of the
people of this nation certainly do not
want to he mixed up in any league of
nations if it means embodiment of the
United States in Il lot of European
territorial disputes. After all the rot
that has been pumped into the Amer
lean people about the reasons for our
participation in the war the fact re-
mains. as history will record. that this
nation went into the war largely be-
cause it's flag and its citizens were not
respected on the high seas where its
people had every right to be. Regard
less of whether this country should
have gone to war to right the wrongs
of France or Belgium or not. the fact
is that it was not to right these wrongs
primarily that the United States took
up the sword. any more than it is like
~ to take up the sword to right the
real or fancied wrongs of Ireland,
CzechO- SlOvakia or Afghanistan
The people Of the United States will
not take kindly to the idea that because
Uncle Sam had to step in and put the
last war OH ICE loI the dlIleS LIldl SIZE
has got to be mixed up in all the racial
wars that will disturb Europe in the
future. If the CZechO- Slovaks get
mixed up in war with Bulgaria. the
people of this country will never stand
for sending American soldiers there
TO be slaughtered in quarrel we have
no great concern over Neither will a
mandate over Turkey or some other
remote and almost -fOrsaken cOun-
try appeal to this nation.
If this country continues to act as a
sort of guardian over the western
hemisphere that will be mandate
enough for us and the Monroe doctrine,
which that policy has been nicknamed,
will he far more effective and consist
emit if we do not mix UP any more than
absolutely necessary in the kalied0-
scopic miX-ups of Europe.
Where does President Wilson get
the idea that it is his province to at
tempt to force OF our treaty making
body covenant of his handiwOrk
without amendment or reservation?
What do we elect senate for. any
way?

OUR NEW YEARS RESOLUTION

Here we are fairly started on 1918
The salutation of Happy New Year.
has just ceased ringing in your ears
and your New Years resolutions are
all made and in order
Perhaps you have made up your
mind to be more kindly this year
perhaps you have determined to be
trary you have resolved to be more
generous; possibly more industrious,
These, whatever they may be, are
the individual good qualities which
you wish to gain. But there is one
quality which we shall every one of
ns need very much through 1919, and
that is patience.
We have just come to the end of
a great war, for which we have all
borne deprivations and made sacri-
fices. and naturally we are all very
anxious to see the conditions of
peace restored exactly as they used
to be.
But this will be matter of time.
1t has taken time and infinite effort
to prepare the country for war. and
life will not lapse into its old lines III
a moment.
1t will take time to bring our
army home 1t will take time for
inflated war prices to go down to
normal level There will have to be
slow readjustment of every kind,
possibly some change in wages, and
this cannot be hurried We must con-
tinue to conserve food for starving
Europe until the next harvest There
will be a Victory loan. for our men
must be supplied as hitherto until
the army is completely mustered out.
The problems of the government
will be many and serious, and We
must not expect impossibilities.
Patience shall be our watchword
for 1919.

HORSES AND MULES FOR SALE
face poWde1

| To the farmers of Arkansas:
/ | have been advised by Capt Har-
! ry E. Hoye of the @. M. c. located at
! the remount station at Camp Pike,
/ that the entire lot of horses ana
mules now quartered at that place
and in his charge will be sold at
auction in the immediate future.
! There are about 5000 head. all good
/ animals selected by the government
for army use. Since they are no
longer needed for that purpose the
war department is disposing of them
by public sale The sales will be
held on different dates for the con-
venience of the public and the farm
ers of Arkansas are invited to attend
these sales and bid on such animals
as they may desire. The first sale
dates announced are as follows:
On Jan 7, $50 mules, $50 horses.
On Jan. IA, $50 mules, $50 horses.
On Jan. 81, $50 mules, $50 horses.
On JAN %, $50 mules, $50 horses

lars of the sale can be had by writ
ing to Captain Harry E. Hoy, @. NJ
c., auxiliary remount depot No 317,
Camp Pike, Ark
This stock will be offered for sale
at auction and sold to the highest
bidder so that any farmer who de-
sires to purchase one or more or
horses or mules can have full oppor-
tunity to do so. In the sale of these
animals it is quite likely that splend-
i'd bargains can be had and the farm
Aers of Arkansas are invited to be
present on the sale dates and bid on
them. Other sale dates will be an
nounced later, but they will most
likely occur once a week until the

SAYS ALLIES HAD
BETTER LEADERSHIP
NO COMPARISON BETWEEN FOcH
AND LUDENDoRFF, DECLARES
HARDEN

Paris. Dec. 28.-Maximillian Hard
en-, the German editor, in an inter
view, has declared to the cores
pondent of the Temps that Germany
was beaten by the superior strategy
of the French generals. Marshal
Foch. he declared, was a military
leader far above Ludendorff, who
had never been victorious on the
front AS for Won Hindenburg, the
editor characterized him as little
more than a figurehead.
Harden expressed fear that the
loss of Alsace-Lorraine would be
for Germany wound like that
suffered by France, but he hoped
that the borders would have no
great Importance in the future
He considered that the former en-
peror was not directly responsible
for the war; but that he was a
great culprit, for he should have
been able to avoid the catastrophe
but had not the courage to say
mo- at the last moment.
Concerning the present situation In
Germany, Harden believed it very
serious In his opinion, an industrial
crisis was imminent, the revolution
becoming more and more the agi-
tation of delirium. He feared the
extention of the Bolshevist move
ment in Germany, if that country
were obliged to make too great
sacrifices, but he was convinced
that the Socialist revolution would
have no influence on France of
which the national spirit was not
prone to Marxism.

To Keep Duck History.

In. order to gain more definite
knowledge of the habits, migration
and length of life of wild ducks
that would be invaluable in com
piling a history of the wild fowl
family, the American Bird Banding
Society has placed a serial number
and the words Notify American Mu-
scum, New York" on aluminium
bands on number of birds. The
gunner who kills one of these tagged
ducks is urged TO send with the
tag an accurate statement on bird,
where it was shot and when. The
headquarters of the American Band
ing Society is in the office of the
American Museum of Natural His
tory, New York City.

TEN MILITARY COMMANDMENTS
OF MARSHAL FOCH
Literary Digest.)

Literary DlgeSt.)
Marshal Foch seems to be a mas.
ter of physiology as well as of a
strategy. While playing the war
game on a gigantic scale, he does
not neglect small details which help
/ TO promote colossal success. The
needs of the rank and file are
always in his mind and he spurs
/ them to bravery and endurance like
the fighting patriarchs of old AT
! any rate, he was imbued with
! some of the spirit of Moses when
/ he promulgated ten commandments
which have proved of incalculable
worth on many hard-fought battle
! fields. Trench and Camp quotes
these inspiring laws as follows:
/. Keep your eyes and ears ready
and your mouth in the safety notch.
for il is your soldierly duty to see
and hear clearly, but as a rule you
should be heard mainly in the sentry
challenges or the charging cheer
2 Obey orders first, and, if still
alive, kick afterward if you have been
wronged
3. Keep your arms and equipment
clean and in good order; treat your
animals fairly and kindly and your
motor or other machine as tho IL
belonged TO you and was the only in
the world. Do not waste your am
munition, your gas, your food, your
time nor your opportunity.
4. Never try to fire an empty gun
nor at an empty trench, but when
you shoot, shoot to kill, and forget
not that at close quarters a bayo-
net beats bullet
5. Tell the truth squarely, face the
music, and take your punishment
like a man; for a good soldier won't
lie he doesn't sulk, and is no squealer
6. Be merciful to the women of
your foe and shame them not, for
you are man: pity and shield the
children in your captured territory,
for you were once helpless child
z. Bear in mind that the enemy is
your enemy and the enemy of hui
manity until he is killed or cap
tured: then he is your dear brother
or fellow soldier beaten or asham-
ed. whom you should no further hui
initiate.
8. Do your best 10 keep your head
clear and cool, your body clean and
comfortable, and your feet in good
condition, for you think with your
head, fight with your body, and
march with your feet
g. Be of good cheer and high
courage shirk neither work nor dan.
ger; suffer in silence, and cheer the
comrades at your side with a smile
10. Dread defeat. but not wounds;
fear dishonor, but not death, and
die game, and whatever the task.
