MANY ARKANSAS MEN
NOW AT CAMP PIKE
Four 1 liousand Arkansas Boy.
in Recent Call Arrive at
Training Camp
Camp 1’ike, ,Mav 28—Ark
i annas is just now making its
greatest contribution to the sol
dier population at Camp Pike.
Special trains began arriving
Saturday night from various
palls of th state, as well as
, from Tennessee and Mississippi
This is the first time Tennessee
has sent draft men to Camp
Pike, and it takes the place of
Louisiana, whose men are this
time going to Camp Beaure
gard. Kverv hour sees long
lines of "rookies marching
from the depot to the receiving
station, and then on to the bar
! racks where they will he tem
porarily located. It's an old
story in the camp and yet every
squad of new arrivals contains
the ^element ot so many heart
breaking stories, represents so
much sacrifice of home ties and
financial interests, that it is
impossible to see them tiling
by without wondering just who
they are and what they were,
and w here they are I nun.
Arkansas is sending 1,12 t
white men here in this call, and
-5,232 negroes will come from
this state latm*. Included in
the w bites are quite a bunch of
men and officers from the
Fourth Arkansas regiment ot
the National Guards, which
has never been accepted into
the federal service. Many of
these men have had some mili
try drill work and life at Camp
Pike will not be quite so new
to them as to those who are
brand new on the job.
The
Mai\ wiih Money
has his family
rotedcd wilh money
in the Bank.
Doesn’t it make you ‘‘sweat blood" to think
what would become of those you love, and who
are dependent on you, should you die penniless?
That does not happen to the man with
money. He has done his duty. He saves his
money and puts it in the Bank where it is safe
from fire, burglars or his own extravagance.
Put YOUR money in OUR bank.

EASTERN COLLEGE
SAYS U. S. MUST FIGHT
Only Argument Germany Will
Listen To is the Argument
of Force
Asked what he thought of
.he prospects for an early
peace, President William H.
Crawford of Allegheny College
just returned from France,
where he spent several months
tnder the auspices of the arm\
Y. M. C. A. says:
“This is no time to talk of
peace. The word ought to be
prohibited. The word now is
r’lGHT. We tried diplomacy
with Germany, tried it long
md faithfully. The only argu
nent Germany will listen to is
he argument of force. The
hing to do now and the only
hing to do is to fight and fight
:o a good finish. Piracy and
he black flag must be destroy
'd once and for all. The man
who talks peace, or food short
age in Germany, or an internal
'evolution in Germany is a Ger
man propagandist. Peace talk
now is pro-German talk. A
man doesn’t think about peace
with a mad dog when the ani
mal is coming at him with
foaming mouth. He thinks only
of killing the brute. It will be
time enough to talk peace with
Germany when her war-mad
governors have been made to
eat dirt.”
“Get Five Million men to
France, and do it quick.”
rl'his is what President Craw
ford urges. ‘‘1 consider it the
duty of the United States to
get five million men into
France just as soon as possible,’
said he, “and with full equip
ment and supplies. Nothing
will do so much to discourag;!
Germany as a big war program
jacked up by the United senti
ment of a united people.”
During his stay in France!
President Crawford traveled
5,000 miles by train in var
ous parts of the country, and
>ver 1,500 miles by auto. He
■ isited three of the four great
teaportstowns where .American
men and supplies are being
anded, and saw the great
warehouses in the interioi

Those who buy sugar for can
