Belgians Kiss English Flag.
United Press Service.
London, Sept. 10.—‘The Bel
gians were at first extremely
dubious of our intention to
send troops to Belgium to sup
port them,” said an English of
ficer just returned from the
front. “Night after night they
crowded about the British con
sulate at Ostend clamoring for
news. When it was definitely
known that the British expedi
tionery force had started, Bel
gian men and women asked that
the Union Jack be brought out
by the Consul. When this was
done, they filed past, kissing the
flag.”
Says U. S. Could Settle War.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Sept- 10.—I. F.
Thomas, a public accountant
who recently located in Little
Rock, came from South Africa,
where he was located for sever
al years, at Bulawayo and else
where. For two years he was
private secretary to Cecil
Rhodes, and intimately associat
ed with that empire builder in
his work. Then he left Rhodes’
service and finally decided to
come to America, and decided to
locate in Little Rock.
In an address before the Ad.
Club this week, speaking as an
Englishman, he said that Presi
dent Wilson has the power to
stop the European war by a
stroke of the pen, by declaring
war ’on Germany. The others
present did not agree with him.
The business interests of Little
Rock, in common with the rest
af the United States, desires no
thing more earnestly than it
ioes peace.

Anti-3aloon League’s Saloon
Films Censored.
United Press Dispatch.
Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 10. —
Because the Ohio State Board of
Moving Picture Censors elimin
|ated from the film “Ten Nights
In A Barroom”, drinking and
murder scenes, it has called
down upon itself the wrath of
i Ohio’s anti-saloon league.
The anti-saloon league is now
in the thick of a strenuous bat
tle to make all Ohio dry. The
voters are to ballot on the pro
hibition amendment at the gen
eral elections early in November
and the league had planned to
use the film as one of their main
arguments in gaining votes. Now
according to dry workers, the
censors have spoiled it all.
“All the punches have been ta
ken out of the film,” said Wayne
B. Wheeler, state superintend
j /» 11 <• ^ i /, >
cut ui liic ciiiti-Hcuuuii league, a
saloon scene which teaches that
drunkenness brings crime, dis
order and inefficiency has a good
result. We feel that the film
should be shown as the book was
written.” Meanwhile the cen
sors stand pat on the ruling that
saloon scenes are naughty, and
cannot creep into any films
shown in the state.
Inform Soldiers As To Uniform.
United Press Dispatch.
Pan£, Sept. 10.—In order to
avoid confusion on the part of
the French soldiers in mistaking
the uniforms of their allies and
their enemies, the war office
has distributed a large number
of pictures showing the various
types. It is pointed out, for in
stance, that:
The English are the only
troops in Khaki.
The Belgian infantry are dis
tinguished by their gren coats
and dark gray truosers.
The only difference between
the Uhlans and the Belgian Lan
cers is that the former are in
gray from head to foot, but the
jacket and helmet of the Belgi
ans are black.
The Austrian Hussars and
Dragoons are in blue with red
trousers, but their coats have
no braiding in front and their
helmets no plumes.
Fate Of Camera Men,
United Press Dispatch.
P.erne, Sept. 10.—A local pa
per prints this story, on the au
thority of an eye-witness: Two
civilians traveling on a train in
Germany which carried for the
most part reservists were rash
enough to attempt to take pic-,
tures while stopping at a way
side station. No sooner had they
got out their cameras than an
officer came forward. He order
ed all other civilians present to
shut their eyes, then shot the
two travelers dead on the spot.
Outstanding Debt $202,122.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Sept. 10.—Now,
with all of the counties settled
with the state, except Jefferson,
the outstanding indebtedness of
the state has been reduced to
$202,122.24. Nothing will come
now to reduce this, and the a
mount will rapidly increase un
til next year’s taxes begin to
come in, when the state will be
confronted with a deficit of not
lass than half a million dollars.
Choir Practice.
There will be choir practice at
the Methodist church tonight.
All who will help in the singing
for the revival, please come.
I have about one dozen song
books on my table that belong
at the church. I will carry them
back if you will carry those
from your house. Would be
glad to have all books in for the
meeting.

BARN YARD CREATURES
ARE NOT STUPID
Acts With Gentry Bros- Shows
Demonstrate Libel of Sheep
i And Pigs.
For generations the pig, the
goaf and the sheep were consid
ered the most stupid animals.
The trainers with Gentry Broth
ers’ Famous Shows, however,
have disproven the libel. With
Gentry Bros’. Shows, which will
visit this city next Friday, Sep
tember 11th, is a complete
troupe of trained pigs, sheep and
goats.
If you ask the trainers why
these creatures are considered
the most stupid, the tutor will
say it is because those who ex
pounded the theory were not pa
tient enough in training.
Trained dogs, rolling barrels,
cnmomg xnrougn noops, etc.,
are common, but with Gentry
Brothers’ Famous Shows is a
troupe of barn yard animals
that do this and more. The
scope of animals which Gentry
Brothers’ trainers have educated
runs from the lowly swine of the
barn yard to the leopard and ele
phant of India- Their wild ani
mal feature, -which is presented
in the big show, is said by train
ers to be the most marvelous act
ever presented to the public.
Gentry Brothers’ Famous
Shows carry many European
novelty acts, seen this season
for the first time in America.
Gentry Brothers’ Shows will give
two exhibitions in this city,
Friday, September 11th. (Adv.)
