TITLE ROCK, Arky April 79'-
 Governor McCrea of Arkansas today teIegraphed to President
 Warren G. Harding, asking that the Federal Government Immediately make an emergency appropriation or funds, for use in fighting the coming Mississippi river floods. The situa- tion is fraught with dire peril, the Governor said, and the State cannot cope with the forthcoming crisis. Without quick action and adequate preparation, calamity may result.
 At Arkansas City thousands of men are toiling night and day in titanic effort to have the levees repaired as strong as possible, but the situation is critical. Countless thousands or sacks filled with earth and other material have been placed upon the 1evee. but the river is making cre- vases with the force of destroying giant

Labor Modest Thing in Life TeU Children

SPOKANE, April 19.-PhysI- cal labor and less coddline, with a rounded diet, including plenty of milk, should be the training program for American children, pr. A. r. Mccormack, State Health Officers of Kentucky, declared here today before the Northwest Public Health lnsti- ute.
 Above aII," he said, "Ameri- can children should be taught the nobility of labor, and that the mere possession of money does not indicate worth.
 "The hope of the world is bound up in the lives of our children" he said, land we are recreat in our duty when we fail to teach them that honor and character are the greatest of human possessions, to be prized above tn material wealth of the world, and that honest labor, of all kinds, is the nobIest thing in American life and most to be desired"

 TO RAISE CASH
 FOR THE BONUS
President Insisting on Revenue Provision in Pending Legislation. Suggests That Means Be Specified in New Tariff Measure.

WASHINGTON, April 19.-Promin- ent men who are interested in the speedy passage of the soldiers bonus bill in the Senate and it's acceptance by the President, visited the White House today to elicit the Chief Ex- ecutive's views and were told that he was favorable to the suggestion that a bonus revenue raising provision be inserted in the pending tariff meas ure.
 The President said he still was insisting that any bonus bill adopted by Congress must carry or be ac- companied by practicable provisions fora obtaining the necessary funds without crippling the financial sys- tenn of the country.
 The President made it known that this was his final judgment of the matter and that it will be useless to attempt the payment of a, bonus with out first finding the means of raising the money.
 The President told a congression- al delegation which waited on him immediately afterward that he ap- proved heartily of the pending Mc- Nary bill, creating a revolving fund of $35O,ooO,OOo for the development of Western and Southern reclara- ton and drainage projects to pro- vide homes for thousands of families.

TRAIL IS OPEN TO FAIRBANKS
 SCENIC REGION
Magnificent s c e cry and Splendid Sport Offered Tourists.
In a Little While It Will Be Like Bow CT in Blaze of Color.

The Fairbanks Trail, or Richard son Highway, has been open two weeks from Sourdough to Chitina, 100 miles or more, today said H. Ditman, associated with Mrs. E. Griffith in managing the Gulkana Road House for the last six years, here on business and pleasure. He already has made two trips from Gulkana to Chitina, " miles, in his Ford truck. The trail is fairly good, he said, and with little repairing, here and there, it will be in first-class condition for the sum- mer tourists.
 All the proprietors of road-houses along the highway are planning on substantial improvements this sum- mer, he said, anticipating great in crease in the tourist traffic. Accom- modations of the best kind will be provided, so that they can entertain tourists of every kind, including the presidential party.
 EXPECTING MIR. FALL
 Secretary of the Interior Albert B. Fall should not fail to include the Fair banks Trail in his intinerary, MT. Dit man said, as it is perfectly adapted to his plans for "roughing it" and offers all kinds of opportunities for information and enjoyment.
 The trail is "superlatively beautiful" " he said, especially through the Summit region, after leaving Paxton's road huse The highway runs through a scenic wonderland, with miles of gor- geous floral beauty, including vast fields of violets and daisies and the blazing fire-weed.
 BEARS ARE UNHOLED The bears are out, MT. Ditman said. Two husky cubs were caught , near Golgana few days ago, Some hunters saw their steam in their snug snow-den and went after them. One of them was yearling.
 The forest along the trail is >teem- ing with big and little, game, includ- ing the lordly moose, the brown ane black bears, goats, sheep, wolverines and norcupines. All are fat on thsi berry diet.
 Summit Lake, beautiful body oi water eight or ten miles across, and creek ehptying. into the lake are full of gamey fish. and the grayline are so plentiful they catf be dipped out.
 FOX FARMERS ACTIVE The fox farmers along the highway are actively expanding their in- dustry, MT. Ditman said, but the market has not been satisfactory They still hold many skins of year ago. One of the world wonders along the Fairbanks Trail, he, said, which may appeal strongly to tourists, is Mount WrangeIe, which is an active Mount Wrangel, which is emitting clowds of smoke. This volcano is believed to be in close touch with the deep interior fires of Mother Earth and is likely to blow her head off at any time.
 The spiral clouds from the smok- ing mountain form a spectacle of majestic beauty on a clear night, with full moon, MT. Ditman said, and no tourist should fail to include the Fairbanks Highway, via Cordova and Chitina, in his itinerary of Alas ka.

his number had been drawn for military
service. There was, of course, warm dis
cussion among his friends and fellow ar
lists as to whether he ought not to get
exemption from military duty. He was
very low in mind about the matter. He
hated the idea of giving up his work and
going into the service; and he hated the
idea of being a gutter. From the be-
ginning of the war his sympathies had
net been entirely pro-Ally. He had got his
musical training in Germany and admired
many things about German civilization
Moreover, he hadn't the kind of mind that
easily takes sides, that adopts opinions
and says, These opinions are right, and
are the only right ones, because they are

impression that Hochstein himself had
given a good deal of time to the study
of philosophy. He knew too much about
history to draw rash and comforting con-
clusions He didn't believe that any war
could end war; he didn't believe that this
one was going TO make the world safe for
democracy, or that it had much to do with
democracy whatever. He couldn't see any

like to see himself getting exemption.
That picture didn't attract him. That role
looked undignified 10 him. However, he
applied for exemption. The Local Board
looked into his case. found he was the
only support of his widowed mother, and

discharge he was. unhappy. He presented
himself again before the Board, told them
he had made arrangements for his mother
during his absence and wished to enter the

that they were Struck by his manly bear

that, as 1 had suspected, he was a very
thoughtful young man; that he had a great

them to himself He was reticent, but
what he had to say was extremely inter

it all before to great many people. He
hadn't, in short, yet acquired the profess

more attractive in the breach than in the

Fiction Recalls Violinist Lost in War
vDH0TETMN

n AVID HocHsTE1N was killed in the
Argonne on November 10, 1918. He
was a well known violinist and
echoes of regret for the cutting off of this
recognized talent are still heard; remi-
niscences of the young artist by musicians
and intimate friends have been published
and so have poems composed in strain
of gentle sorrow. A stanza of one of the
best known copy of verses inscribed to his
memory is here given:
o the fire of your violin melted US then,
TIL we granted your saying was sooth;
That man of the fiddle was not least of men
When he fought he sung for the truth
And a character in recently published
novel seemed to embody the lost musician.
The author Miss Villa Gather, in her
David Gerhardt," by the circumstances Of
his enlistment in the A. E. F., his war ex-
periences and his death, appeared to have
had David Hochstein in mind. Admirers
of the violinist asked the novelist if this
were true and she replies in the interview
that follows. 1t may be added that the
words of the following explanation are
Miss Gathers own:
Yes" Miss Gather said, 81 think that
character must have been done from David
Hochstein. It's not portrait, it's not even
an impressonistic sketch of him, for I met
him in all just three times But if 1
hadn't met him those three times Claude
Wheeler's friend and fellow officer would
certainly have been another person. He
wouldn't have been David Gerhardt, he
probably wouldn't have been a violinist"
You say you didn't know Hochstein
well?"
