Pershing, commander of the Ameri-

''In leaving France" said the mar
shall, you leave your dead in our
hands. On our soil we will care for
them religiously and zealously, as
bearing witness of the powerful aid
you brought u.s. These dead will
bring from America many thoughts
of remembrance and pious visits and
will bind still more strongly our al
ready close union
'If," concluded the marshal, "the
clouds of war should gather again in
the f~ture, would not these dead rise
from their tombs and make their
voices heard once more by a world
which already knows that the same
cause, the cause of liberty, has united
US since the time of Washington and
LaFayette?"
General Pershing replied by bid
ding farewell to France in the person
of the marshal, Ito her gallant poilus,
to her patriotic men and to her noble
women"
Then the general and Marshal
Foch walked arm-in-arm to the gang
plank, exchanging final salutes as the

AN EXPLANATION

A few days before the 4th of July 1 had protest published in both the county papers against the anti-good roads meeting that had been an- nounced ina circular, and sent broad cast over the county, to be held at Main Spring camp ground on that day.
 At the time 1 wrote this protest did not know that any of the camp ground committee had given their consent to the meeting, but as secre- tary of the Camp Ground Association. having the records of the Association since it's organization twenty years ago, l did know that the deed given by the owners of the land forbids all meetings except those strictly of a religious nature, and allowing such meetings as held there on that date. we forfeit our rights to the grounds and they revert to the original own CTS"
 A short time after my protest was published an article by Bros. Steele McClelland and J. R. Andrews, presi- dent and vice president of the asso- citation was published in the News in which they stated that they gave the people the privilege of holding the said meeting
 They also stated that "they had the authority to do so and that knew they had this authority and that | knew they had given the people the

INQUIRIES FOR
 ARKANSAS LAND

During the past week Jim G. Fer guson, commissioner of mines, manu- factures and agriculture, received in quirise about Arkansas farm lands from homeseekers and investors in every part of the United States. A list of those who want to come to Ar kansas to live follows:
 Harper Kirk, Tilley, Alberta, Can, wants small farm with running water >for hog ranch.
 James L. Nicholson, care Camp Supply Company, Camp evier, S. C., is interested in Independence county farm land.
 U. S. Dickey, Box 134, Cripple Creek, Colo, makes inquiry about cut over lands for sale or lease, suitable for sheep and cattle raising.
 E. L. Davenport, Central City, Ky., is interested in farm lands in White county.

 Now these three last statements are absolutely false. Believing them to have possibly been ignorant of the real facts when they had these state ments published, I have done all that my duty required me to do to have them correct their error, but have failed so far.
 Now as 1 consider that our rights to the grounds have been forfeited, not wishing to be connected with an organization that has no law, rules, regulations or authority, I hereby sever my connection with the Main Spring Camp Ground Association.

Busfs U.s. Leader Tells
Mass Meeting Amidst
the Widest Enthusiasm

Charles Shea, who wears suspenders
and is the head of the union Of stage
hands, was easily the star of all the
accomplished artists who spoke yester-
day afternoon at the mass meeting Of
striking actors held in the ballroom Of
the Hotel Astor
"The executive council of the Inter-
national Association of Theatrical
Stage Employees has voted on the prop
osition," declared MIR. Shea, "and at the
right time we will strike, if it busts
our organization. That means we will
strike if you can't win without u.s."
This news was received with cheers
that by contrast dimmed all the other
cheering of an afternoon of unusual
enthusiasm.
The other important announcement
of the meeting was that the Actors
Equity Association had leased the Lex
ington Avenue Theatre and, beginning
Monday night, would offer the public
that amusement which the managers
are now unable to provide"

carrying a big American flag and es-
corted by four mounted policemen,

house, in Forty-eighth Street, to the
Cohan & Harris Theatre in Forty-sec-
ond Street.

on the stage, headed by Captain j. j.
Gleason, dean of the club, read peti-
ton to George M. Cohan, who was
making up for the evening perform
ance Of "a Royal Vagabond." in which
he is playing the part of one of the
actors now on strike. This petition
asked him to reconsider his resignation
as abbot and member of the Friars.
Mr.. Cohan declared that his decision
was final and that he never expected
to set foot inside the Friars' monastery
again. After listening to Mr.. Cohan's
refusal the procession marched back to
the clubhouse.
