 The editor of the Rogers Repuoll- can sure had the wrong pig by the tail'' when he accused Guy Philips of being a Bull Mooser. Guy was raised in Springdale, his grandfather was as strong a Democrat as ever walked under the Jeffersonian stand ard, his father vast vice elected sher if of Washington County on the Democratic ticket, and we anticipate that Guy would be given sound thrashing today, if his dad had any reasons for believing that he had any thoughts of turning Bull Mooser. II the editor of the Republican is look ing for scrap With MT. fhllllps, OH account of his being State Bank Ex- aminer, we suggest an easier way to start it than accusing him of flock ing. with the Progressives. Guy had nickname while in school, and when anyone desired few pointers in the art of self-defense, all they had to do was to call him that name. Now, were willing to send it to the editor, but We won't print it, and he can use it as he sees fit, but let us suggest that the editor hire about six members of the Belgian army to assist him just after he turns It loose, for Guy used to lick ,em three at crack in school, and he hash t forgotten how now.

A. Adams, an inspector for the inter ssate commerce commission, who in vestigated the disaster No direct testimony ever will be brought out to prove whether the operator at Joplin gave the meeting order to the motor car crew" Adams said. 'The operator affirms he did but as the mo tor car crew died in the wreck their account cannot be given. ''- Rogers Democrat

M PHILLIPS NOT GUILTY.

In speaking of the Republican meeting in Rogers two weeks ago, the Rogers Republican said in part: Frank Campbell and Guy Phillips of Fayetteville were a committee from the Progressives to try to eff feet a compromise and both factions seemed favorable"
 MT, Phillips, who is State Bank Examiner, was in Rogers that day in connection with the Bank of Rog- CTS, and he writes us that he asked the Republican to make correction of the statement, but that as it did not do so he wants us to publish the following from the correction sent the Republican:

MORATORIUMS.

Texarkana Four States Press:
 The meaning of the word "moratori- um" may not be generally under stood, but the tocsin of war does not necessarily have to be sounded before some invoke its privileges and pro- lection. Men who never shouldered a gun or smelled gunpowder have been using it as bulwark for years without knowing it's name.

 A moratorium is an extension of credits under a proclamation issued by the highest authorities. But dead beats have been using individual mor- atofiums ever since the credit busi- ness came in vogue. What some ed itors call delinquent subscriber is merely a shifty citizen operating under homespun moratorium. Bill collectors run into moratoriums on both sides of every considerable street. We have heard doctors say they have praeticed for years in families where the moratorium out lasted the doctors patience.

STRAWBERRIES IN AUGUST.

Jim Berch was up from Lowell last evening with a crate of home grown strawberries of the Texas va riety He picked yesterday about two and a half crates, the rest hay ing been purchased at the patch by auto parties. He has about two acres and if rain falls in a few days he expects to pick about 30 crates of berries. The berries are of eX- cellent quality. Rogers Democrat
 Yes, we have the same thing here, but growers claim the flavor and quality are not what they should be, and that the berries will not do to ship. Another thing, the vines will be damaged on account of the August berries, and next season will not bear so well. Moral: You can't doa- ble the strawberry output with any profit.
 It is announced that Barnum X Bailey's great circus will be in Rog- CTS Tuesday, October 18th. It will be it's first appearance here. Rogers Democrat.

OPPOSED TO TAX ON s FREIGHT TRANSPORTATION
Democrats of House to Hold Caucus
 on Subject Tonight.

Washington, Sept. 14.-Democrats of the house opposing the proposed war tax on freight transportation bills had a call issued today for a party caucus on the subject tomorrow night. Rep resentative Underwood and other ad- miniStration leaders, however, hope to delay caucus consideration of the ques- ton. at least until the president has had an opportunity to weigh the situa- tion in the light of recent develop ments.
 President Wilson will return to Washington tomorrow and it is the purpose of MT. Underwood to make it clear to him that it will be impossible to put a freight tax. through the house unless he gives the proposal his un- qualified endorsement and indicates that the emergency demands such a step. Should the president under these circumstances urge that the revenue bill as framed by democrats of the ways and means committee be accept ed by congress, MT. Underwood as the party leader. will do all he can to allay the opposition and will advise against a caucus on the ground that nothing can be accomplished there that cannot be accomplished in the house itself

OF GOLD
 EXPORTS TO CANADA
For Payment of New York city's In- debtedness to London and Paris.

!. New York. Sept. 14.-Inauguration of gold exports to Canada. in partial payment of New York city's indebted ness to London and Paris and with drawal from the private market of some large orders to sell listed se- curities were the interesting financial developments of the day. Five million dollars was taken for shipment to Ot- tawa, there to be placed to the credit of the Bank of England. As much more probably will go across the bor- der in a. few days.
 Cancellation of the orders to sell stocks was associated with latest news from abroad, which indicated more hopeful feeling regarding the cause of the allies in the war. It was said that a substantial part of the Ger man loan of s250,0D0,000 now in pro- cess of fotation by Berlin bankers would be subscribed for by wealthy German Americans but a canvass of the international banking interests failed to elicit any information of these rumors.
 Cables and demand on London eased a fraction of cent to the pound and brokers in exchange reported a mod crate inquiry for remittances in Paris but bills on that center continued scarce. It was said, however, that considerable business was being done between London and Paris in Ameri- can grain bills. Local brokers also sold some thirty-day bills for our foodstuffs on Amsterdam.

ALLIES ARE RELENTLESS IN
 PURSUIT OF THE INVADERS

Epernay and on the German left wing at Metz and Saarburg. In these at- tacks the losses of the French and British were very heavy.
 ''The German right wing, composed of three corps, then attempted to out flank the allies by a movement to the left past Arniens, which movement was successful, and led to a rapid advance on Paris.
 Since Sept. there have been heavy engagements in many places An att tack on the Germans from the direc- tion of Paris, over the town of Crecy and the department of the Aisne, was successfully withstood by Field Mar shal Won Kluck..
 "On the following days the attacks were renewed, this time with the sup port of heavy French artillery. At the same time the French made an attack from Meaux and Montmorail. The re- suit of this was that the weak Ger ran right wing of three corps fell back, breaking, however, the French onslaught and taking 50 guns and 4,000 prisoners.''
 The French forces, the correspondent asserts, made a notable attack on the German center but were thrown back on Verdun, whitIier the Germans fol- lowed and took the outer works.
 According to the correspondent, since Sept. 9 8 new battle on the Paris, Yer dun, Nancy and French Lorraine line has been in progress, with the Ger mans holding all positions. Upper AL sace, he says, has been entirely cleared of the enemy by General Won Herrin- gen.

BELGIAN REFUGEES FLED
 IN ALL<pIREcTIONS  Some Directly Toward the Scenes ei
 Engagements.

London, Sept. 14, 5:25 D. m-De- scribing the flight of the eBlgians dur ing the German advance, a corre- spondent of the The Associated Press who recently arrived here from Bel giu4, says that the refugees scattered like autumn leaves before the wind. Unaware of the manoeuvers of the cp- posing forces. some lied directly toward the scenes of the engagements. Others whirled aimlessly in circles.
 Many travelled in, dilapidated wagons drawn by horses too old or otherwise unfit for military service. after little even their handbags. As a rule they wore their best clothes as fresh linen and cracking boots re- vealed. They appeared to treat their escape as ceremony that demanded the best showing possible.
 At Ntvelles there, was encountered a man who had walked. all the way from Charleroi in one day, carrying a small son on his shoulder. When the trouble began he hid with his boy in the eel lar of his home. The house proved to be in the path of the artillery fire and f1naaly the upper part of the building was destroyed by shell. He scrambled out of the ruins uninjured only to fall into the hands of Ger man soldiers. They treated him well with other hostages beside the soldiers to prevent sniping Nat the troops by Belgian civilians

Invaders Appear to be Preparing to
 Stop Allies.

Paris. Sept. fl. 11:os p. m.-The French official statement issued to- night says that French troops have reoccupied Anliens, which was aband- oned by the Germans, but that the Germans are making stand on the River Aisne.
 The statement is as follows:
 'On our left wing we have every where caught up with the rear guards and even the main body of the enemy.
 Our troops have re-entered Amiens, abandoned by the German forces. 'Tfle enemy appears to be making a stand on g. prepared front along the River Aisne.''
 "On the center. similarly, it would seem as if the enemy intends to re- sist on the nights to the northwest and to the north of Rheims. In the region between Argonne and the Mouse he continues to retire.
 "On our right wing, in the Woevre district. we have succeeded in re- lieving the fort of Troyon, which has been stubbornly attacked time and time again during the last few days. CTroyon is 12 miles southeast of Yer run).

The house ac- cepted this as a substitute, accept able to the White House, and. it will become law.

The repccupation of Aniens by the French and the preparations by the Germans on the River Ainse to make a stand against the allies, are the chief announcements contained in the latest statement issued by the French Government. Apparently the Ger mans also are preparing to resist on the heights northwest of Rheims.
 Perograd reports that the Russian troops are crossing the San River and that the Russian army, in repulsing a desperate attack by the Austrians captured many prisoners.
 The British official press bureau de- nies the reports that Russian troops have landed in Belgium and declares also that there is no truth what ever in the rumors that Russian soldiers have landed or passed through Great Britain on their way to France and Belgium.
 A Copenhagen despatch says that advices from Berlin admit that ' the chief Austrian army has suffered an absolute defeat at the hands of the Russians.
 Among the German prisoners aIriv- ing in the neighborhood of Paris are a general and his staff.
 Pekfng reports that 25,000 Japanese have landed on the Shan-Tung penin- sula and that Japanese troops are passing toward Ping-Tau. about forty miles north of Kaio-C Chow, the German protectorate in China.
