A GENERAL SURVEY OF
THE WAR
SATURDAY..

Most significant is the official an
nouncement by the French war office
that the military governor of Paris has
ordered all residents within the zone
of action of the forts around Paris to
evacute and raze their houses within
four days.
Another significant announcement
from Paris is to the effect that the
German forces are advancing in the
direction of La Fere, which lies about
eighty miles northeast of Paris. The
right wing of the French troops oper-
ating in this region has driven BACK
the Germans on the town of Gulse, but
the left wing was unable to hold the
advance of the German troops.
British cruisers and destroyers that
were in the engagement off Helgo!and
have arrived at various English po"ts,
and some members of the crew asse. t
ahat at least eleven German vesse.s
of various sizes were sunk.

an Lorraine the French are pro-
crossing along the right bank OF the
river Sanon, a few miles from Lune'
ville."
French troops have been passing
through Paris for the last three days.
headed toward the battle lines which
protect the capital from the German
advance.
The resumption of the German or
fensive is awaited at any moment. The
confidence of the French has strength
ened. 1t Is felt that the stratesical
proble of the allies Is to select the
right plan and the right moment for
counter offensive movement.
Tens of thousands of Par1sians
chiefly women and children, have tax
en- advantake of the free trains placed
at their disposal by the government
for the purpose of cleaning Paris and
its environs, so far as possible, OF all
civilians who might hamper the mill
tary operations.

ed from Antwerp and Ostend. .
The correspondent at Antwerp Oh
the Reuter- Telegram company says
the Germans have been held in chec3
for the last two days by the left wing
of the allies, and adds:
"a big force of German cavalry that
was advancing on Compiegne, forty
five miles northest Of Paris, was Vlgor-
ously repulsed and forced to abandon
several pieces of artillery. 1t appears
that the attempt to envelop the allies

In a dispatch from Rouen, France,

he has learned that the French au-
thorities in Paris are considering the
surrender of the city to the Germans
In order to avoid the destruction OF
proptrty from artillery fire. This will
only be done, the correspondent de-
clares, In case the outer line Of the
defenses of Paris are passed by the
invaders.
British, French and Belgian wound.
ed are being transferred from Paris
to other cities, and the great exodus
of the populace of the French capital
to the south continues.
The correspondent of the Times at
Dieppe under Thursdays date indi-
Gates that the Germans. were then
less than twenty-five miles from Paris.
He says:
"All day the head of the wedge that
now forms the German right was furi-
ously forcing its way to Paris, batter
ing the rear of the retreating French
through Creill, Senlis and Crepy-En-
Valois. The cannonading broke win
dows In Chantilly, which is only seven
teen miles north Of Paris. The Ger
mans are also near scissors"
Another dispatch to the Times from
Beauvais, forty miles northwest of
Paris, says that the Germans entered
Clermont, thirty-fve miles from Paris,
Wednesday morning. At the same time
their cavalry was operating around
Beauvais.
The fortified town of Mezieres on
the French center is reoprted to have
fallen to the armies of Crown Prince
Frederick William and Grand Duke
Albrecht.
Telegraphing from Copenhagen the

have been received there describe the
battle which was proceeding Wednes
day between Rheims and Verdun as
the greatest battle in history. Three
quarters of million Of men were de

that President Woodrow Wilson will
be a candidate for reelection in 1916.
Political leaders, bath within and
without the Democratic party, con-
cede that II Mr.. Wilson is a candidate
for the Democratic nomination he will
not be seriously opposed. From an au-
thoritative source it has been learned
that not long ago Secretary of State
Bryan expressed the view that if the
Wilson administration was a success
Mr.. Wilson coull have the Democratic
nomination for the asking, and that IL
the administration did not measure

France opened a desperate offensive
movement against the Germans today

center a general engagement is be-
ing fought, so far without decisive re-
suit.
German forces generally engaged
the French on a ninety-fve-mile line

DECIDES FAITH
 SCHOOL SQUABBLE
Judge Philpot Grants Peti- tion to Annex, Giving
 Property to Old District.

Advocates of consolidation of com mon school districts NOS. and 2S, the latter referred to as the Fath district, achieved a partial victory yesterday when County Judge c. NJ. iPhilpot rendered decision granting the prayer of petitioners ill district No. to annex strip to No. 2S or the Faith district. Judge Philpot's decision tipulated that all monies now in the treasury of No. derived from taxation on the strip i'll ques- tion should remain the property Of No. 1, which is also given owership of school buildings On the land trans ferred.
 The controversy arose pervious to the last school election, when an ef- fort was made to consolidate the two districts. Tine proposal was defeated. Those residing in No. l who desired to utilize the school facilities at Faith then petitioned the county judge to annex strip about one mile wide to the Faith district. This met with opposition. All parties were heard some weeks ago, Judge Phil- pot taking the matter under advise ment and rendering decision yes- terday.

olutOn that no salaried officer of the bank would be permitted to borrow money from the bank.
 The three state bank examiners, Guy Phillips, A. F. Bailey and A. J. Reap, are in for their regular month ly conference with the commissioner. They are examining about forty banks month, and have already examined 300. It will take very nearly year to complete the first examination of all the state banks in Arkansas, but after this year they expect to make two rounds each year.
 One feature of the work with which the public has not been made familiar is that through the efforts of the commissioner and his deputies and exz aminers, at least fifteen banks have been saved from suspension since Jan. 1. Being found in a failing condition as the result of mismanagement or other remidiable cause, they have been put on sound financial basis and thus successfully carried over the financial breakers. One instance of this kind occurred only last week
