Arncfs Letter in Gazette
The letter which Mr. Joe Ar
nof wrote to his father, Mr. H.
Arnof of this city, and which was
published in The Home News
April, 13, was republished in the
Arkansas Gazette April, 20. In
recognizing the worth of the let
ter, the Gazette editor not only
republished same but also gave
editorial mention with extracts
which we publish below:
THE VOICE OF AMERICANISM
^Ve wish everybody in Arkan
sas might read the letter which
the Gazette republishes today
from The Home News of McCro
ry- This letter was written t
Arnof of that place by his sor
°e Arnof, who is now at Hai
yard. The son says to his father
’uo came to America to enjoy
the blessings of freedom:
You roust realize that the
in v! an^ Gerties we now er
py “ave corresponding duties,
thn? e before us died to protect
9n,se Pnnciples we believe in,
We must protect them. You
*way ^rom Russia to a free
lv aJiP .an^ were received open
jf ° glven a chance to live. If
re not for the principles of
Democracy I would be in Siberia
or the army instead of Harvard
now.”
There is a great thing for al]
of us to remember in this mo
mentous hour in our country’s
history—that the right sand lib
erties we enjoy have correspond
ing duties.
To show that there is noth
ing sectional about America’s
part in the great war and to show
how the whole nation is concern
ed young Arnof says:
“When one harms America it
means just as much to Arkansas
as it does to Kansas, California
or Massachusetts. When Amer
icans are killed they are Ameri
cans regardless of what state
they came from. When ships
are sunk it affects McCrory vi
tally. Where dy you think cotton
goes to? It must go somewhere
after it leaves the gin. It goes
to England, New England and
across the sea. If Germany
could blockade England your cot
ton would sell for four cents a
pound, and people in McCrory
would starve instead of getting
20 cents. You mugt consider
how all of the countries are de
pendent on the others. What
affects one concerns all, but war
is not fought for money’s sake,
because rights are tnings inher
ent, and can’t be bought with
money.”
This son of a Russian immi
grant is a thorouhgoing Ameri
can and he makes a splendid
spokesman for America and
Americanism.

Little Rock Boy
Proud He Is
U. S. Marine .
A Little Rock boy who is proud
of the United States Marine
Corps is Claude E. Billings, who
enlisted in that organization here -
about six weeks ago, and is now
in the Marine barracks at Paris
Island, S. C. In a letter to the
Gazette, received last night, Mr.
Billings said:
“I hope that a number of Lit
tle Rock boys are enlistihg in the
service. I know that I am glad
I did. There is a chance here to
learn a good trade, which will be;
useful in the future, and to get
a good military training also. In
the marines we are not fed just
‘beans’ three times a day, but
soup, eggs, meat, potatoes, cof
fee and fruit, the best on the
market. The men are all happy
ind have a good time every night.
f\t the barracks Y. M. C. A. we
lave boxing and movies every
light, and occasional dances,
rhe officers take interest in the
men, and the drills are not hard
lor is any of the other work,
rhe boys here are from 17 years
)ld up, but more of them are un
3er 21 than over that age. The
;rip I had from Little Rock to
Paris Island is almost worth the
vork I have had to do, and we
ire all pleased with the chance
ve will have to see the world.
Anyone who wants to travel and y
>erve his country at the same
;ime ought to join the marines.”
