SAYS NEED STATE GEoLoGIsT.
John II. Page Sees Need of Develop
ment of Mineral Resources.

Little Rock, Jan. 5.-John H. Page,
retiring Commissioner of Agriculture,
in his farewell message, recommends
the creation of the office of State Ge-
oligist, with headquarters at Little
Rock, who shall spend his time in the
development of the mineral resources
of the state. He says:
"In my opinion the position is Of
sufficient Importance to have man
in the state capitol to devote his en-
tire time to the work. To have as state
geologist man in a part of the state
remote from the capital, member of
the university faculty, whose work as
geologist is purely incidental, and
who can render no official service I'M
less he is paid to do so, outside Of his
Office, is to say the least farcical, and
should not be in state so rich in un-
developed mineral resources. A state
geologist, with ample funds to carry
on the work, should be in this depart
ment, at the state capitol. This is
an era of progress and development
and our state cannot keep pace with
empty titles. We must have officials
who are real and prepared to render
the best service possible, and the ne
cessary funds with which to do it."
The proposed new constitution,
which was defeated, carried specific
provision for new state geologist.

MAKE U. S. UNSAFE
FOR THE BOLSHEV|KI
Department of Justice Will Gust the
Agents Who Have Begun Work
Here-Post Officials Watch the
Russian Newspapers.

New York, Jan. 6.--Department of
Justice agents in New York who have
been watching German suspects in
this city have been assigned to work
of frustrating the activities of FIVE
groups of Bolsheviki, which have es-
tablished headquarters here. The
spread of Bolshevism is admitted to
have become alarming"
Alfred 7. Baker. deputy state at
torney general, said that his depart
ment has unearthed evidence that se-
cret agents of Lenine and Trotzky
have reached this city with fund Of
nearly $500,000 to be used for propa-
ganda.
The purpose of this convention is
said to be to absorbe into the Bolshe-
vik movement in this and other cities,
members of the Industrial Workers of
the World, anarchists, and radical
Socialists.
Plans of the agitators also are said
to include program for weaving
away from the American Federation
of Labor radical members of 65
unions thruout the country, who are
to be urged to organize working
mems councils" under the Lenine-
Trotzky plan
At the offices of the Department of
Justice it was admitted that card
index of 1000 "red" agitators in this
city, Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit,
Boston and other places, has been
compiled and persons whose names
appear in this index are being closely
watched.
Postoffice authorities are said to be
maintaining careful scrutiny of
three Russian language newspapers,
one published in Boston and two in
this city.
Altho most of the Bolshevik agi-
tators are aliens and could be deport-
ed, it is expected deportation would
strengthen their propaganda
To guard against possible acts of
bombers, such as those which took
place in Philadelphia last week, Police
Commissioner Enright today ordered
uniformed policemen placed on guard
at public buildings.

His Last Messag ge.

What was the last public statement
by Colonel Roosevelt was read last
night at an "all-American concert"
here under the auspices of the Ameri-
can Defense Society, of which he was
honorary president.
II cannot be with you and so all |
can do is to wish you God-speed,r it
read. "There must be no sagging
back in the fight for Americanism
merely because the war is over.
"There are plenty Of persons who
have already made the assertion tnat
they believe the American people
have a short memory and that they
intend to revive all the foreign asso-
Citations which most directly interfere
with the complete Americanization of
our people. Our principle in this mat
ter should be absolutely simple
''In the first place, we should insist
that if the immigrant who comes here
does in good faith become an Ameri-
can and assimilate himself to us, he
shall be treated on an exact equality
with every one else, for it is an out
rage to discriminate against any such
man because of creed or birthplace or
origin But this is predicated upon
the mans becoming in very fact an
American and nothing but an Ameri-
can.
Z "If he tried to keep segregated with
men Of his own origin and separated
from the rest of America, then he is
not doing his part as an American.
There can be no divided alliance at
all
"We have room for but one flag, the
American flag, and this excludes the
red flag which symbolizes all wars
against liberty and civilization just as
much as it excludes any foreign flag
of nation to which we are hostile.
We have no room for but one Ian
guage, for we intend to see that the
crucible turns our people out as
Americans and American nationality
and not as dwellers in polyglot
boarding house; and we have room for
but one soul loyalty, and that is 10y
atty to the American people,"

HUNS BRISTLINC
At PEACE Terms
New Foreign Minister Declares Win
Not Yield to Every Peace Condi-
ton" and Sticks for Wilson'S
Fourteen Points.

Copenhagen, Jan. Count Won
Brockdorf -Rantzau, the new German
foreign minister, has issued state
ment outlining his policy, but it has
not yet reached Copenhagen From
comment in the Tageblatt of Berlin,
however, it appears that he declared
that Germany must not yield to ev-
cry peace condition her opponents
may wish to dictate. The iageblatt
adheres to the ministers point of
view, and says:
mo peace must be signed which
differs by the breadth of hair from
the principles of President Wilson's
fourteen points, which Germany has
accepted, and the Entente willingly,
or unwillingly, has signed
The Tageblatt then discusses Ger
many's delusions before sthe war, and
says these were fed by "fatal prop
aganda which drove America into the
war and led to the inevitable catas-
trophe."
at is necessary" the paper contin-
ues, ito avoid the self-deception of
which the minister speaks, but it is
not necessary to plunge madly into
self humiliation. Half-hearted weak
ness must leave the Entente to see
that the German people have nc will
of their own and may bend under and
yoke of slavery. Thus, bereft of it's
most valuable territories. Germany
might be held down in continuous i'm
potence.
eve regard it as urgently neces-
sary that Germany should convince
the world of her firm will and loyalty
to realize President Wilson's peace,
but not to accept any other, especial
ly that of Premier Clemenceau. Min
lister Brockdorf- -Rantzau has said this
with a frankness which the German
policy too long has been lacking. He
rejects a peace of violence, destruc-
tion and subjection. Despite the SER
ious crisis in Germany the people will
back him up"

Permanency of Republic Doubtful.
Il am of the opinion that no mat
ter what the German voters and tn,
national assembly decide, the German
republic win not be permanent.
Germany is now beaten, so far al
resources are concerned. She will b.
unable to renew the war for many
years But she is unbeaten so far al
man power is concerned.
81 have talked with hundreds Of
German people of high and low de
gree in the past three weeks, and
am convinced that an inborn sub
servance is certain to result, within
a generation or two, in restatemeni
of the royal family. Some member
other than Wilhelm, of course will sii
upon the throne.
"The allies have got TO protect the
worlds future by keeping the BochC
nose against the grindstone, els'
trouble will break again.
"The only method for keeping Ger
many harmless is the imposition Of
heavy damages and of severe restrie
tion on raw materials.
The world must beware of croco

pie are unrepentant. They have fec

cussed today by Colonel Charles w.

fore the special House committee in

Asked by Representative Reavis Of
Nebraska if he believed Bolshevik
ideas were general in Congress, Col
onel Lydecker said he thought not.

Bolshevik ideas will so spread among
the laboring class of the country un-

believed there was enough affected

FOUND TURMOIL AND
STORM IN KANSAS CITY
w. A. Wilson Says Few Can Realize
Full Meaning of the Street
Car Strike.

w. A. Wilson returned Tuesday
from Kansas City, where he attended
the annual convention of the sales
men of the Faeth Iron Company, at
which fifty were present. Mr.. Will
son said that because Of the street car
strike the company was compelled to
provide covered trucks TO take the
guests back and forth from hotels to
convention headquarters. The severe
weather, with much snow, in Kansas
City, makes Mr.. Wilson glad to get
back to Mena's sunshine.
Speaking further of the street car
strike, Mr.. Wilson says one can hard
ly get an idea Of what it is and means
from reading the papers. The streets
are being patrolled by $500 armed
soldiers. The governor of Missouri
has caused large placards to be
placed on the prominent streets warn
ing the public that the soldiers were
under orders to shoot to kill any per-
son interfering with the operation Of
the cars or disturbing the property.
At certain. danger points, seven of
them, machine guns were stationed
This is the fourth strike, 1t is said,
that has occurred on the Kansas City
street railways within year, and
while in the earlier troubles the pub
lie sentiment and sympathy was with
the strikers, such is not the case with
the present trouble, which, already
has lasted six weeks and has been a
tremendous hardship on the city and
the people.
The strikers now have offered tc
go back to work on pre-strike basis
but the offer was declined, the com
pany refusing to discharge the mer
who had stood bv It in the trouble.
