THE VICTORY LOAN.

After all is said and done there is but one way for Americans to look at the coming Victory Liberty Loan and that is through the eyes of duty. The loan is essential, else the govern ment would never have attempted to "put it over" Money is needed to de- fray the expenses of the recent war. There is no true American who does not realize that the war was inevi- table. There is no true American who does not realize it's benefits to the world and humanity. And there is no true American who is going to refuse to aid his government by buying Vic tory Liberty bonds.
 The American people are going to buy Victory bonds, even though they have to SACRIFICE few petty comforts and conveniences to do it. And Jefferson county is going to take the lead in this state.

 and thinking that letter of recom- mendation of your work might be of benefit to you after your return to civil life I wish to add the follow ing.
 1 first met you during September 1917, shortly after you had been com missioned a End Lieutenant of Infan- try and assigned to Camp Pike for duty; my attention was first attract ed to you by the statement of Major w. J. Murphy that you were the most dependable young officer he had in his battalion and that you were handling to his satisfaction the most difficult work he had ever seen given to company commander-strai ening out, disposing of and making correct records for the "derelict" ne- groes of his battalion.
 During December, 1917, know that you were considered one of the best young officers in the camp, and that your name was near the top of the list recommended for promotion at that time-and your promotion to the grade of first lieutenant on or about December 31st, 1917 was not only what you deserved, but it was to the best interests of the service that you be given this new rank.
 l was familiar with your work as company commander, battalion ad- jutnant, judge advocate of a special court martial during the spring and summer of 1918, and l believe that every officer who has been associated with you will agree with my state ment that your work was far above the average; and the fact that you were three times recommendation dur ing that period only shows what senior officers thought of your work; thatsyou were not promoted at that time was due only to the fact that there were many miX-ups in the promotion lists and the list of those recommended. am also familiar with the fact that your promotion finally came through early in October, 1918, and am of the opinion that it was deserved onc-and l believe that ev- cry senior officer at this camp agrees with me in that statement.
 When demobilization first started at this camp, and everyone was doubt full of the different phases of it and

,wo purposes only; laughter and

two purposes only; laughter and charity They are a good combina- tion, because the cheerful giver is the salt of the earth.
 Laughter and amusement will be exchanged for a piece of silver. And the silver will in turn be exchanged for piece of real estate to provide city park for Pine Bluff. So every cent invested in the entertainment will bear compound interest. Yet the womanless wedding is being staged for the people of the city and the pro- ceeds will be turned over to the Ro- tary clubs city park fund.- That is why every citizen of Pine Bluff should cndeavor to see it.

EASTER 1919.

Easter is one of the most beautiful ceremonies observed by the believers in christianity It commemorates the resurrection of Christ following his perilous life on earth and it's tragic climax, the crucifixion. Easter is significant of new life, new ideals and rev works. Just as He was resur- rected, reborn into the spiritual work so the christian follower en- deavors, annually, to resurrect his be- lief in the Almig2y and to renew his belief in humanity. It is the per iod of rejuyenation and rehabilita- tion, of rencwd ideals and rencwd hopes.
 Coming in the spring time when the world is awakening from it's long winter sleep and new life is evident in all nature, man cam more appreciate the full spirit of the Eastcr-tide.
 This year Easter throughout the entire world has taken on new signif icance. Today will be observed, with the resurrection of the Savior of mankind, the resurrection of the world from u period of chaos and suffering. The stone of oppression has been rolled from the tomb of con- 'ventionality and free men and women are emerging jubilant in their liberty. The bonds of autocracy and mater ialism that have been held them in slavery for ages have been burst asunder and they are at liberty to speak and act according to the die tates of their individual consciences. Purged with the fires of war they arc being reborn with spirit of un- derstanding Suffering has destroyed the seeds of materialism, and greed, and brotherly love has strangled na- tional jealousies. Having faced death innumerable times they have no fear of the great beyond. Rather do they realize that life is but a fleeting sec ond wherein preparations for the new life are to be made.
 Unselfish service is the watchword of the resurrection. Sacrifice is it's basic principle and love it's crowning glory.
 The world is closed today to those ideals for which He died than ever before and it is but step into the realm where He now resides.

Draughon, Arkansas. April 14th, 1919. The Editor, The Graphic.
 Pine Bluff, Arkansas.
 Dear Sir
 After very careful investigation of the facts which caused the article in the Arkansas Gazette, concerning my discharge from the army, to be published, 1 find that l have been ordered dismissed from the service" after havnb been honorably dis charged from the service. l was dis charged on March 18th, 1919 and or dered dismissed on April 7th, 1919. To correct the general idea that a dismissal is a dishonorable discharge, will say that it is not dishonorablc discharge, but is merely the revok ing of the commission of an army of ficcr, by order of the president of the United States, by whom all commits sions of officers are issued.
 The cause for this latter order, was not due to the proceedings of a courts martial, but was due to the action taken in Washington, on the pro- ccedings of a board of officers con- Vcned to investigate into my con duet, but to investigate into the cause for the wounding of a negro soldiers in the city of Little Rock on the night of December lst, 1918. This record contained an account of my actions in connection with the removal of this soldier to the base hospital at Camp Pike, after he had been shot three times, as is stated in the next paragraph.
 On the night of December lst, 1918, while returning to Camp Pike in taxi cab, encountered, or saw q large crowd of people on one of the side streets leading off of Louisiana street. Because of the fact, that, there was d very great amount of noise coming from this crowd of people, l turned into this street to see what the trouble was. Upon reaching the edge of the crowd 1 recognized some of the negro soldiers from my own organization who stat ed that a negro soldier had been shot. Immediately afterward 1 left the taxi going to the center of the crowd where the soldier was still lying. After securing another taxi l ordered two soldiers to place the wounded man into it and take him to the base hospital at Camp Pike. These men had no sooner started to pick this soldier up when two ne- groes standing by me objected to the wounded man being removed, saying tllat had better leave things alone that were no business of mine, add

the methods to be employed I know that you were the officer selected by your brigade commander and brigad- fer general Anderson as the one most suited to studying out the details. of the work and handling the thousand and one situation that were constant ly coming up. That you handled this situation to the satisfaction of all concerned is a matter of record at this camp.
 Taken as a whole know of no officer I have met and with whom l have. been associated who is better qualified mentally, physically and tempermentally to hold a position of trust.
 Again wishing you the best of luck, upon your return to civil life, and with the highest personal regards, I am,

 l consider Capt. Mcintyre a most efficient officer, and take great pleas ure in experimenting him upon his faithful performance of duty, and re- gret exceedingly to lose him as my assistant.
 Before being assigned to duty in the adjutant's office, he had charge of the entire demobilization work of the Brigade, which duty he perform ed most efficiently and checrfully.

THE WOMANLESS WEDDING.

Anything "womanlcss" is either comical or tragic. Look at an old bach clor, for instance! And any attempt on the part of mere man to assume the comedy graces of the fair sex is sure to be ludicrous. Even the lad who sells silk hosiery and sings ten or and plays the church organ is bound to fall when he endeavors to impersonate the genuine article"
 However, the womanless wedding, to be staged here soon, is meant for

 ing in very insulting manner that there too many + F + soldiers d * * f + s taking charge of things that were none of their busi- ness. No sooner had this civilian made this remark than I khocked him down, and had the two soldiers proceed with the removing of the wounded soldier. Immediately after ward l went to military police head quarters and reported the incident. While at headquarters learned that the civilian 1 had knocked down was negro policeman of the Little Rock police force.
 The proceeding of the board of of- ficers who were convened for the purpose of Investigating the shoot ing of this soldier contained an ac- count of my action against this negro policeman, but failed to state the req son for such action. This part of story was not in the record because l failed to mention the incident of my knocking the policeman down when 1 testified before this board. All of the other witnesses were ne- groes and nearly all civilians. The story that l was drunk is untrue as l had not been driking, but whether these negro witnesses testified that l was drunk l cannot say. It was be- cause of this testimony in the record of the board of officers that I was ordered dismissed from the service, which order was approved by the president.
 To correct the idea that 1 was tried by a court martial the following paragraph of Army Regulations is set forth:
 "An officer in arrest cannot excr- else command of any kind. He will not wear sword (side arms) nor visit officially his commanding or other superior officers unless dir ected to do so. His applications and requests, of every nature will be made in writing" c. A. R. 55, Par 926.
 In view of the foreging regulations it is impossible for an officer in ar rest to do any duty whatever. No officer or enlisted man is ever tried without being placed in arrest-ex- cept medical officers whose arrest would endanger the health of the command. 1t is we'll known fact by the people Pine Bluff and the State of Arkansas that from November 24th, 1918 to March 10th, 1919, I was on duty as demobiization off ccr or assistant adjutant of the 162nd Depot Brigade, the greater part of the time acting in both positions at the same time, and that during this period of time Camp Pike ranked as the leading Rehabilitation camp of the United States The system work ed out and adopted for Camp Pike during this period of time has since camps of the United States. This fact and the fact that l was at no time suspended from duty should clearly show that was not in arrest.
 At an early date all possible action will be taken to secure my rein statement and to clear my record in the war department, that if it is ever necessary l can return to the army, in good standing.
 To further show that was in good standing with the commanding off cers of Camp Pike at the date of my discharge, two letters given me by the camp inspector and the adiutaSt of the l62nd Depot Brigade are hereby attached, (copics>

CARRIED in a khaki suit, regulation
army leggins and shoes, her hair cut
short and a thirty-pound pack on her
back, Mrs Collins passed through here
on her walking trip around the United
States and her only worry, so she said,
was what to do with $42 worth of false
hair.
'I'll never bother again with paint,
powder and false hair" she said, but
right now | have $42 worth of false
hair can't sell for 50 and l hate to
just throw it away"
Mrs. Collins left Pasadena May 16
and passed through Portland, Seattle,

she will go to the New England states
and expects to get back to Pasadena
next year making the return trip
through the southern states.

"Destroyers roll and toss to such

"that it is largely diet of cold sand

ship rolls is brewed.
