PATRIOTIC CITIZENS OF AR- KANSAS, NOTICE.
-W.S.S.

22.OOO Head of Live Stock Killed!
 5000 900 pounds of food and leather wasted!
 100000 in money lost!
 This was the toll in Arkansas in 1918 as a result of stock straying on railroad tracks!
 Enough food was thus wasted in 1918 to feed 400 900 people for g month. And millions of our allies could hardly get enough to eat! The war is over but America must still conserve food. Her pledge to hel allies this year is 20,000,000 tons oi food-two-thirds more than last year The National and State Councils oi Defense are conducting nationwide campaign to keep stock off railroad tracks and thus stop this useless waste of food
 The railroads are cooperating by improving their fences and cattle guards and engineers are exercising special care to prevent striking stock Stock owners can reduce this enor nous waste by keeping their stock of rights ofway. People living neal railroad tracks can help by keeping right of-way gates closed.
 If you let your stock stray on rail road rights-of-way you may be indi rectIy responsible not only for loss o1 food but also for wreck that may result in the loss of human life. Conserve Human Life Conserve food.

NEED FOR QUICK ACTION
# Relief Be Not Speedily Given Mil. Hone of Christians in Far East
 Will Starvc.


 M. L. Altheimer, campaign director for the Armenian and Syrian Relief, has received cable advices from the Near East, telling of the immediate needs of the stricken peoples, who are dying from actual starvation there.
 These people, to the number of nearly 4.0oo,oO0. were driven from prosperous homes by the merciless Turks during the war. Since the armistice was signed the committee has been able to extend relief where it has hitherto been unable to pene- trale.
 The campaign opens February , and in one week the seveity-Ave counties Of Arkansas will raise $l50.- GOO for this relief.

PRESIDENT ASKS
 AMERICA ID AID
 IN RELIEF WORK
SAYS NATION SHOULD ADVANCE HUNDRED MILLION TO SAVE
 SMALL COUNTRIES.
DISTRESS IN HOLY LAND
Armenian and Syrian Relief Only Or 0anixstion That Can Reach Peo-
 plea Who Buffer Most. ..

The proclamation issued by Presi- dent Wilson, endorsing the Armenian and Syrian Relief Campaign, that will begin in Arkansas February 3 and end February 10, has been accentuat- ed by the Presidents recommerda- tion, made since he began his travels abroad, that this Government provide a fund of s1oo,0o0,O0O to loan to the stricken and dying peoples of the small neutral countries that have been devastated by the war.
 Government aid cannot be extend ed to the people of the lands of which the Armenian and Syrian Relief Cam paign will relieve. There are more than four millions of these Christian peoples. driven from their homes by the Turks and Kurds mainly because they were Christian, who have no Ma. tionaJ Governments.
 The Armenians lived in Turkish territory, aad were prosperous before the war gave the Turks an opportun- ity to massacre and torture them be- cause of their religious views, and at time when Christian America could scarcely join other Christian coun- tries in extending the protection ,hat in the past had in measure deterred the Turks.
 But the Armenian and Syrian Re missionaries, were able to maintain g system of organization that gave some relief. The Red Cross was unuble to give this relief, because of it's inabil ity to get into the country where the suffering was the greatest.
 Since the armistice was signed oth- or places hitherto inaccessible even to the Armenian and Syrian Relief. are now open, and the sums demand ed are much larger. Every cent of money contributed in this campaign will go to relieve the distress of the stricken people.
 Every penny of the expense is pro- ~tded for in another fund, supplied for that purpose, so that not one cent of the contributions is to be wasted.
 The 75 counties of Arkansas are asked for a total of $150,000 for this great work, and Pulaski county will be expected to raise $30,000 of the amount. This amount Is divided up into small quotas, 30 that each county can do the work asked without much effort, and without financial strain.
 Arkansas has met every call on her generosity in the past, and as this will in all probability be the last ot the calls growing out of the great war, and Arkansas resources have not been severely taxed, there is no reason to fear that the response will fail, and it is anticipated that large oversubscription will result.

Oppose Taking Coal Mines.

John Robert Ciyres. NJ. P. another
giant among the leaders of labor, has
argued with piquancy and power from
the same standpoint. and in the de-
bate on the naturalization of the
coal mines Prime Minister Lloyd
George elected from Robert Smillie,
president of the Miners Federation
of Great Britain. this declaration:
ut has been suggested that the
miners wish to take oyer the mines.
under a system of syndicaIism, and
work them for the miners. You may
rid your mind at once of any such
notion. The Miners Federation con-
templates nothing of the sort We
do not think the miners have a right
to take over the mines and work
them in their own interests"
Here is blow at bolshevism BY
a man who lately has taken a trucu-
lent line toward the government and
whose possible attitude respecting
uItra-proletarians and their preten-
sibns has caused anxiety in RESPONSE
bic political quarters. There is no
evidence that Smillie has abandoned
his idea of national strike to com
pei" the government to nationalize
the mines. but recent events and the
prevailing labor opinion may be eX-
pected to cause him to move with con-
siderable caution.

See No Hope in Direct Action.

These men see no hope for labor in

Is. national political strike. George
Henry Roberts. NJ. p, for example,
! formerly minister of labor. but now
| food controller and one of the ablest
men in the labor movement, says:
There was no excuse for the rail-
way strike. because the men could
have got all they did without a strike
Throughout my life as trade union
official I have opposed strikes. except
as the very last resort. Today we
have some working class advisers who
say strike first and negotiate after
ward. Suca men do not understand
the primer Of democracy. which bases
itself on reason and justice and not on
force. Such men stopped thinking be-
fore they appreciated that even in our
poor world moral vitality invariably
dominates and controls physical vi
tality.
