WILSON WRITES
PRINCIPAL PUNK
For Inclusion in Democratic
Platform to Be Adopted
At Convention
<
"AMERICA FIRST" IN
PEACE AND HONOR:
^Stress Will Be Laid on Success
of Foreign Policy.
Tariff Issue
w ashington.?The outcome of the
administration's efforts to keep the
United States out of war and at the
s;?ine time maintain the national honor
will be the foundation of the foreign
affairs plank and one of the
emphasized points in the platform to
b\* adopted by the Democratic national
convention, according to authoritative
information obtained from administration
sources.
As a result of conferences with
members of his cabinet and other advisors,
President Wilson, who persanally
began work several days ago on
a platform to be submitted to the con
rention, virtually has completed a
preliminary craft, leaving only details
to be finished after the Republican
and Progressive conventions end. The '
President has utilized as a basis for
this work features of the Missouri
State Democratic platform, which
. was prepared, officials have made
known, under the direction of the
I White House.
Following out this idea, it is underI
stood that the national platform "will'
declare the success of the administration
in guarding the honor and interests
of the United States in the
face of ohsacles and at the same time
keeping he nation at peace. The administration's
championship against
all belligerents of the rights of America
and all neutrals on the high
seas, will be praised, with the statement
that the results will be of great

red to, it is said, by praise of the Pros
idcntV refusal to allow the nation to i
be drawn into the internal strife rag!
ing in Mexico, and of the prompt action
in ordering troops aciioss the border
after the Columbus massacre.
Another section is expceted to land
the administration for maintaining
the Monroe Doctrine and fostering
fair dealing with the other republics
of the western hemisphere, resulting
j in the building up of trade with those
nations. '
( Finally, it is understood, the forJ
eign affairs plank will align the
/ party behind the President in placing
"America First" with reference to all
( (questions, both international and doI
.meafcic. ? lX .
( The Tariff Question,
j i The tariff, is expected to be the
| subject of an important plank, the
r platform coupling the Underwood re|
vision with the currency law and oth\
ei: conservative legislation of the past j
four years an a prosperity delclara-,
tion. President Wilson's preparedness
program will occupy another
prominent place in the platform.

the tariff will embody the substance
of an unpubJished letter written by
A the President in 1914 to Senator Un(?
derwood, then majority leader of the
/ House. The President wrote that
' the principle followed in the Democratic
tariff was "that each duty lei
vied was to be tested by the inquiry
whether it was put at such a figure
and levied in such a manner as to :
Iprovoke competition."
He also declared it was clear that
I "the reductioni of the tariff, the sim-i
/ piifkaiioit of its schedules so as to
( cut away the jungle in which secret
agencies had no longer worked, the

DUG UP ON FARM
A vegetable freak, was on exhibit
at the Conway Drug Co., last week.
It would take a botanist to give the
right name to it, but in common parlance
it is described as a wild potato.
It was dug up on a farm and brought
to the drug store by county supervisor,
A. C. Murrell. It is the largest
wild potatot ever seen in this puntry.
It weighs twenty pounds and is considered
very large for its weight
nearly filling a peck measure, if not
quite. It is a dark skin and a white
pulpy material sn the inside and a
slight sweet potato taste with a "linger"
to this that is pot pleasant. -

BRITISH TROOPERS ~
TAKE FRENCH WIVES
Many Romances Developing
From the War on the
Continent.
Gafe ,of the results of the presence
of the British army in France is that
a good many Brtish soldiers will take
French wives home with them. The
difference in language far from being
a barrier, is an accessory. Tommie
Atkins teaches Miss Franee English
and Miss France teaches Tommie Atkins/Rrench.
There is plenty of leisure for the
courtship to develop. Frequently British
batallions remain in the same section
for months at a time. When the
men have done their shift in the
trenches they return, 'in rest" as the
saying goes, to the same villages
where they were before. Usually they
have quarters in the French houses.
In a sense they become members of
the community.
With the French men folk away the
British soldier lends a hand with any
heavy, work which requires a man's
strenirth. Onlv trwhiv thn ^nrrnsnnnil
0 - " V
ent saw a British soldier drawing a
harrow. A feminine hand does some
sewing or cooking for him in return.
The romantic atmosphere is not liking.
When the Briton says "au revoir"
to his sweetheart and starts for
the trenches he may never come back,
and he is going to fight for France.
On Sunday afternoons the girls are
out in their best frocks as they are
anywhere else in the world, and walking
with them along the roads and
lanes are men in khaki; their conversations
are a mixture of French and
English.
It is not romance alone that loads
the Briton to marry in France. He
has learned to admire the thrift and
cleverness of the French woman and
her industry in taking the place of
her fathers and brothers who are at
the front.
