 UNIT IN FIGHTING

Little Rock, Oct. 17.-"We have every Southern Congress- man standing up like one man, and fighting for the Henry Bill to save the Southern cotton grower,' reports H. s. Mobley, president of the Arkansas Farm ers' Union, who has just re- turned to Arkansas after a two months spent in Washington working in the interest of legis- lation that will assist the planter to hold his cotton. "The Ark ansas Congressman and Senators are all for this bill and they are remaining right on the job to put it over if possible.

GERMAN ADVANCE .
WORRIES BR|T0NS

London, Aug. 24.-There is serious
concern here over the lack of news.
Officials make no secret of their
disappointment over the German ad-
vance. 1t has already overrun North
ern Belgium and is pushing south
with the outposts retiring before it.
Namur has been isolated and the
Germans are bringing up heavy guns
apparently for the purpose of reduc-
ing it by siege, rather than by sacri-
hcing many men to carry it by as
sault. r.
War office officials admit that the
fighting now begun and increasing in
volume as the outposts fall back on
the main allied army will be of the
most desperate character and the re-.
sources of the allies will be tested to
the fullest extent to check the great
German machine.
