O.S. ARMY GREATEST
IN NATION’S HISTORY
In Eight Months Army Has
Grown from 110,000 to a
Million and a Half
The latest official figures
put the number of enlisted
men in the Armies of the Unit
ed States at 1,360,000. This
force has grown in eight
months from only 110,000.
Most of them are still in the
training camps. Many of them
are not yet disciplined troops,
fully equipped and armed for
ibattle. But they are already
one of the biggest factors Hin
denburg is reckoning with for
the campaign in 1918.
To lead them there are 80,
000 officers, and this will be
increased to 100,000 by the
graduates of the second offi
cers training camp, as many
officers as there were privates
April 1, last
The whole military estab
lishment with the Marines and
the auxiliary forces thrown in
numbers a million and a half.
There were only 2,700,000
enlistments in the Federal Ar
my during the Civil war and
many of them were enlisted
the second time. March 31,
1865 the Union Army consisted
of only 980,000 men.
For the Spanish-American
war 275,000 men were raised
but only 60,000 saw service.
] The present American Army
iis the largest armed force the
Western Hemisphree has ever
seen. If it were all lined up in
a solid infantry column, four
abreast, it would reach across
Ohio from Cincinnatti to To
ledo and on to the Michigan
line.
If it is not enough, Ameri
ca has the men and machinery
to make a greater effort.
GETS SIXTEEN YEARS
In federal court at Jones-!
boro last week, R. A. Qualls, ■
charged with robbing the mails
at Mammoth Spring several
months ago, was sentenced to
sixteen years in prison, four
years on four charges. Three
of the sentences were remitted,
however, leaving only four
years to be served.

Mr. and Mrs. W. K. Surridge
of Walnut Ridge, district man
ager for the A. O. U- W. are
here for the purpose oforganiz
mg a branch of that order in
Newark. The A. O. U. W. is
one of the best fraternal insur
ance orders in existence and is
doing much to build up Arkan
sas by its policy of keeping
Arkansas money in Arkansas.
The head office for this juris
dicton is in Little Rock and ev
ery cent in premiums and dues
collected by this order is in
vested in Arkansas instead of
being sent to the North and
East- The order is not only
doing a great work in helping
to build up Arkansas but is
doing much toward creating
: state pride among our citizens.
The Journal wishes Mr. and
Mrs. Surridge success in their
work here for the two-fold
reason that they are splendid
people and deserve to succeed
and because they are repre
senting a splendid order of
which every patriotic Arkan
I san should be a member.

SHOULD NOT FORGET
NECESSITY OF ROADS
Good Roads are Needed More
Than Ever During Stress
of War Times
Our people will be fortunate
if in the drive after a record
production in all lines, the\
keep in mind the great impor
tance of good roads. Good
roads are, in fact one of the
prime factors of success in our
efforts to exceed all former
productive records.
The farmer who, after har
vesting a bumper crop, at
tempts to move that crop to
market over poor roads soon
finds that he must sacrifice a
large per cent of his profits in
reaching the markets with his
products. The timber man
who has cut a choice lot of ma
terial finds that he must give
up the lion’s share of his pro
fits in getting his stuff to the
railroad. The same holds good
in all lines. Poor roads mean
a waste of energy; good roads,
conservation of energy that
may be profitably employed in
more production.
the temptation tor slackness
in this direction grows greater
all the time. Thousands of our
workers have gone to war;
other thousands have been
drafted to take their places in
the industries. Labor in all
lines is at a premium.
The people of this country
however have never known the
meaning of the words “defeat”
and “failure.” They must not
learn at thus great day. A de
termination on our part that
the industrial life of the coun
try must not and shall not de
teriorate will work work won
ders. Hitherto only a small
percent of the national energy
has been devoted to the sterner
question of making a living
We have abundant time for all
the varied interests of life.
Now, however, some of those
interests must take second
place- The demands upon
our time and energy are such
that more and more we must
cut out the frivolous and de
vote ourselves to the serious
phases of life.
We can find the time and
means of labor to keep our
roads up to the standard of
efficiency. We must if a large
part of our energy is not to be
wasted.
