WILL BE IN
 LITTLE ROCK SEPT. 27

Woodrow Wilson, whom many con- sider the greatest man in world af- fairs today, will spend two hours in Little Rock the afternoon of Sept 27. He will visit this city in his swing around the circle in behalf of the league of nations, and this will be his only stop in Arkansas. He will speak that night in Memphis. It is prob able that he will speak in Liberty Hall, the only place large enough to accommodate any considerable part of the thousands who will want to hear him.
 He will not be the first president to visit Little Rock. President Grant, although then out of office, was the guest of Little Rock returning from his tour around the world. Roosevelt visited Little Rock two or three times. President Taft was there once. Then there was William Jennings Bryan but that is another story.

EVIDENT PURPOSE TO
 DIscREDIT PROHIBITION
By Clio Harner

ny Sil0 Harper.
 Arkansans returning from Chicago. iNeW York and some of the other laro- CT Northern cities, agree that tbere IS an evident purpose on the part of 2 large element to discredit the nrob;- Di'ion movement. They say that there IS no difficulty in securing liquor, except that it is not sold qulte so openly as it used to be. and that it costs more.
 This condition is recognized by the pronioltion press, which is seriously asking these questions:
 "ls the prohibition act becoming q oead letter generally throughout the United States?
 Are the officers sworn to enforce the law leniently winking at whiskey sales 2"
 The law is being enforced in Arkan- sas, except for the sporadic and more or less resourceful bootlegger, who soon or later comes to grief.
 The stuff is not only harder to get. but connoisseurs declare that it is about hte rottenest stuff that a white man ever tortured his interior de- partment with.
 Walt Mason, the prose poet, puts it this way:
 "Tne country's dry, some gin and rye in alleys may be peddled, but prison waits the foolish skates who with such trade have meddled. drink from brooks whose bends and crooks blsect the smiling valleys; I have no use for serpent juice dispensed in dirty alleys"
 Wartime prohibition produced no new conditions in Arkansas, for this state had already joined the dry column by reason of the statutory prohibition which became effective Jan. l, 1917, Arkansas is dry, and 95
  per cent of the people are glad of it. The law is being enforced, because an enlightened public sentiment is back of it.
 An effort is being made, directed by the association opposed to national prohibition, to force a referendum on the ratification of the 18th amend ment by the legislature last January
 But the attorney general has ruled that it is not subject to referendum, and Secretary of State Terral has re- fused to accept the petition submitted to him requesting a reference to the people. The question is now up to the supreme court.
 The supreme court of Maine has denied the right of referendum, while the supreme court of Washington has held it legal. It is pretty safe to pre- dict that the Association Opposed to National Prohibition will not get much comfort out of Arkansas.

Shortage of Beef
And Mutton

The problem OF supplying the needs of
the American people and those of the Eu-
ropean nations which are depending upon
us for the major portion of their food be-
comes even more serious when one con-
siders the beef and mutton situations This
is due in large measure to the fact that
a much longer period of time is required
to increase the production of cattle and
sheep. The decline in the number of cat
tie in Europe has been alarming, and al
though America has shown slight increase
in the number Of cattle on the farms, this
gain is only drop in the bucket compared
with the increased demands now being made
upon the nations meat larder.
The temptation to make quick profits by
marketing high priced corn direct has dis
couraged to 81 considerable extent the feed
ing of corn to cattle, much slower method
of making a profit in these times Once it
becomes more profitable to feed corn to
cattle and hogs, the possibility Of an i'm
provcment in the present situation will be
assured. 1t will be matter Of many years
however, before the country's beef sunply
can be speoded up to keep pace with the
enormously increased demand both here
and abroad.
An analysis of the livestock situation
made recently by Herbert Hoover now
virtually food administrator for Europe
and America, pictured in graphic manner
the state Of affairs confronting the agri-
cultural nations Of tho world.
"A total decrease Of more than 115.OO5.-
600 in the worlds meat producing animals
is shown in a comparison Of present con-
dtions with pre-war conditions" said Mr..
Hoover. "While the increase Of cattle in
the United States for this period (the first
two years Of the war) was 100000, the
total world decrease was 28,080O0O. Sheep
decreased 100000 in the United States
and 54,000,000 throughout the world. Hors
increased G,275,o0o in the United States.
but decreased 32,425,O00 in the world
market
''The demands made by the war upon the
American meat supply are clearly shown
in the growth of our meat exports, which
were 1888, 10000 pounds for the fiscal wear
ending June 30, 1916. The tnree-year pre-
war average was 493,848,00O pounds. These
exports have gone chiefly to our allies,
whose capital stock of animals has been
decreased by 33 100000 head within period
of two years"
Exports of meat products for the fiscal
years ended June 80, 1917 and June 80.
1918, have averaged 1900, 900 900 pounds.
However, these do not include large ship
ments overseas for the American Expedi
tionary Force In the mean time the cant
tai stock of meat animals of all kinds has
continued to decrease at an alarming rate

The Land
Campaign

To have a fair chance of success the land
attack should have come as a surprise and
should have been coincdental with the
naval attack. On February 16. month
after the decision to use the fleet without
waiting for the army had been reached, the
British War Council determined to make
land campaign against Constantinople.
Four days later Earl Kitchener postponed
the departure Of the Goth Division from
England, without even letting the War
Council know about it, This caused de-
lay of three weeks in the arrival of the
full expedtionary force. 1t inevitably re-
duced the chances of any surprise descent
on the Turkish positions.
The Allied army was put ashore on
April %, more than FIVE weeks after the
naval attack had been suspended The plan
of General Ian Hamilton, the British COM
mander, was to get foothold at the tin
Of the peninsula and on the Egean shore
little further up. Then the two British
forces would work north and east, con-
vergng on the Kilid-Bahr plateau, which
dominated the forts in the narrows.
The great obstacle to the success of this
plan was the confguration of the CALM
oil peninsula. There were few landing
places where shelter was available, either
for the lighters offshore or the troops
on the beaches. Excessive losses occurred
in the course of the landing operations.
And after the troops had sstablishsd them

what would have happened? The one
overwhelming fact is that the fortifcaticns
we're very short Of ammunition They had
almost reached the limit of their resisting
power when the British feet passed out
on the afternoon of the 18th. l had Sc
cured permission for Mr. George A.
Schreiner, the well-known American corre-
spondent of The Associated Press, to visit
the Dardanelles on this occasion. On the
night Of the 18th this correspondent dis
cussed the situation with General Mertens,
who chief technical officer at the strait
General Mertens admitted that the outlook
was very discouraging for the defence
"'We expect that the British will come
back early tomorrow morning. he said and
if they do we may be able to hold out for
few hours
General Mertens did not declare in so
many words that the ammunition was prac-
tically exhausted but Mr.. Schreiner dis
covered that such was the case. The fact
was that Fort Hamidieh. the most powerful
defence on the Asatic side, had just seven
teen or-piercing shells left while at
Kilidul-Bahr, which was the main defence
the European side, there were precisely
ten.
az should advise you to get up at 6
o'clock tomorrow morning. said General
Mertens, 'and take to the Anatolian hills
That's what we are going to do"
What deferred the Allied feet from going
back? Vice Admiral Garden was sick when
the attack was made. Vice Admiral de Ro-
beck, who commanded in his place, wrote in
a report made March 10TH
"The power of the fleet to dominate the
fortresses by superiority of fire seems to be
established. Various other dangers and dif-
fculties will have to be encountered, but
nothing has happened which jussifes the be-
lief that the loss of the undertaking will
exceed what has always been expected and
provided for'
Had this judgment been acted on Con-
stantinople would have fallen, for there was
nothing to stop the Allied warships after
Fort Hamdieh and Niagara Point had been
passed.

WorldWid Importance of the American Pig

book in the early days of the war, must
still remain in the category of nece ssary
luxurics for the American people, due
chiefly to the unprecedented demand now
being made upon our resources and to the
attitude of Indifference and shortsightedness
which has allowed the livestock industry to
lag far behind in the march of the worlds
events.
During the next few months America must
conserve and ship to Europe more than
3,000,000000 pounds of pork products alone,
or more than double the shipments made to
Europe in the year 1915, when the needs
of the European nations had already brought
about a rccord-breaking demand for Amer
ican food products Other meat products
must be shipped in greatly increased quanti-
ties, and it will be many months, if not
years, before the livestock industry is re-
stored to anything like normal conditions.
In 1915 the value of meat and dairy
products exported to Europe was 1921 ,ooO-
900. During the same year approximately
1,500,000,000 pounds of pork products, val
ued at nearly $186,OOO 900, were shipped to
the nations of Europe. These exports rep
resented vast increases over pre-war ship
ments, but now to be dwarfed into COM
parative insignifcance by the exports of
meat products during the year 1919 The
value of the pork products required for ex-
port to Europe alone will exceed the value
of all meat products sold to European ma
tons in 1916!
Warnings issued two years ago by Food
Administrator Hoover, and repeated many
times since then, are receiving added en-
phasis in the light of recent events. Only
the most drastic action, in the opinion of
livestock experts, can bring about the rcvo-
luton that will be required to bring to an
end the most serious situation in the history
of the nations livestock industry. Even now
the strenuous efforts being made to save
the situation bear somewhat Of resemblance
to the act of man locking his stable door
the minute his horse is missed. Restoring
the proper balance in accordance with the
well-known law of supply and demand will
be matter of years, now that vastly in
creased demands are to be made upon the
American livestock larder, as the industry
is admittedly many years behind the pro-
duction needs Of normal times, let alone
present conditions.
The half-starved nations of Europe must
look TO the United States for the greater
part of their food products for years to
come, before the evil stain Of war can be
removed from the agricultural industry Of
the continent. The livestock industry of
the leading farming nations of Europe was
practically wiped out in the second year of
the war, when the shortage Of food supplies

pisOdes Of the Great War-II: Gallipoli

and the British commander in chief on the
spot didn't balance with sufficient imagina-
tion the penalties Of failure against the
farreaching military consequences of sue
cess. 1t was of those moments in his
tory which wait for the instinct of genius
to manifest itself-and which so often wait
in vain.
1t was intended originally to make
joint land and attack. The troops were
to come from Egypt, where the British had
just repulsed a Turkish attempt to rush
the Suez Canal. Egypt was heavily garri-
soned and it was a simple matter to trans
port an army from Alexandria to bases in
the Egean Islands. 1t was also just as
feasible to defend Egypt by fighting the
Turk at Gallipoli as by fighting him in the
Sinai Desert.
Earl Kitchener, the British Secretary of
State for War, who exercised an autocratic
control over military affairs, announced in
the second week in January that there were
no troops Immediately available for the
Dardanelles operation. So, on January 49,
the British War Council decided to risk
purely naval attack BY the first week in
February the Allies had concentrated off
the island OF lmbros one super-dread
nought, the Queen Elizabeth one battle
cruiser, the Infexibe sixteen pre-dread-
noughts and nine cruisers Gall of the above
British); seven pre-dreadnoughts and three
cruisers (French) and one Russian cruiser
There was an adequate complement of de-
stroyers, mine -swcepcrs and submarines.
The most important Turkish fortificaton
was the Anadolu Hamidich battery, on the
Anatolian side. 1t was situated on an ele-
vation near Niagara Point, facing south,
and commanded the whole lower stretch of
the strait. It's guns were Of the Krupp
model OF 1885, and had an extreme range
Of about nine miles. About three miles
further south on the Anatolian side was
the DArdanos battery of Krupp guns Of the
model Of 1905, reinforced by aome naval
guns taken from the Goeben and from the
Turkish war vessels laid up off Constantino-
pie. The batteries on the European shore
were OF minor importance.

Good Samaritan
To 4OO,OOO,O 900 More

The moment the last shot of the war was
fred, the entire system of feeding the
larger part Of Europe had to be revolution
ized The number of persons to whom the
Americans must play the Good Samaritan
for months to come was suddenly increased
to approximately 40o, 1000, 900. We must con-
tinue TO help provision the Allies for many
months to come, inasmuch as it will be
several years before the larders of those
countries are restocked to pre-war condi-
tons. In addition America must furnish
the greater part of the food required to
ward off famine in the little countries
which have lain half-starved under the heel
Of the Hun oppressor for four years. Bel

Slavs and others who fall within this clas-
sfcation number approximately 75,000,000.
Nor must we ignore the responsibility of

approximately $4,000, ,000-in Northern Rus
