The right and center of the
German army Of invasion in
France are gradually withdraw

afternoon paris tine), declares
that the Germans "are retreating
everywhere" They are, it is
added, abandoning all the posi-
tons which they established to
cover a possible retreat"
Reports concerning the fight
ing in Russian Poland and Galicia
are conflicting. It appears that
the Austrians have met serious
reverses, but continued struggles
establish that they have not been
completely overwhelmed by the
Russians.
Still less is definitely known of
the operations in East Prussia.
According to advices from Petro-
grad, a Russian army is before
the capital, Koenigsberg. But
Russian official advices two days
ago stated that their forces were
bombarding Koenigsberg. Ac-
cording to German reports, the
initial success Of Gen. linden
berg in East Prussia, which has
been admitted in Petrograd, was
followed by further German tri-
umphs to the south Of Koenigs-
berg.
The Belgian army operating
from Antwerp is represented as
harassing the Germans in that
district to prevent the two Ger
man army corps there moving
south to the aid of the German
main line. Belgian official re-
ports say that their forees were
obliged to retire after counter
attack by the Germans. The
Servians claim continued sue
eesses against the Austrians, the
greater part Of whose armies are
engaged with the Russians to the

by the Belgian government:

triangle have returned within the outer

The sortie, which at first seemed to
be merely skirmish operation against
covering troops left by the enemy In
front of Antwerp. developed into an ac-
ton on an extensive scale. The enemy's
position was very strong. owing to the
works. thrown up during the last fort
night.
THE necessity for holding this posi-
. ton at all costs obliged the enemy to
call for all available forces. Thus the
third German army corps which had
left Move for Madebraeckel returned
hastily. and the 9Th Corps, which was
already marching southwark on the
Audenarde- Ruyen road, was likewise
recalled.

 I, as an humble voter of the grand old county of Faulkner, wish to com mend your valuable paper on it's stand in the present senatorial con- test. All unbiased men who try to follow the political events of the day realize, as you have said time and again in your paper, that the political grafters-or to use plain English, thieves resort to such means as in the Poinsett county election on the 25th of March last, will drag any state to ruin and to anarchy. Shall the voter of Arkansas sit back and let our election machinery be carried on in such a way? If so, what is the use of any honest man aspiring to po- litical preferment? Why not let the grafters have the whole machinery in their power and at least save such people as wish to be honest and fair from being used as the means where

SCHOOL ELECTION
 SATURDAY, MAY l6
DIRECTORS TO BE ELECTED
AND DISTRICT TAX VOTED IN EACH SCHOOL DISTRICT
 OF THE COUNTY.
From Mondays Daily

From Monday s Daily
 Although two elections throughout the county and four in the city of Conway have already been held this calendar year, there are several more to come, and the next will be the an- nual school election, which will oc- cur on May 16, the third Saturday of next month.
 At this election directors will be chosen and the amount of district school tax voted in each of the 98 school districts in Faulkner county. In the regular districts one director and in the special districts two direc- tors will be elected, to serve for terms of three years. The amount of tax voted may be any rate up to seven mills, about four-ffths of the dis tricts in this county now levying the maximum amount.
 There will be no questions aside from the election of directors and the levying of the tax to be decided by the voters this year. The proposition of county superintendency is voted upon only in years preceding those in which general elections are held and the question of county uniformity of textbooks is voted upon only once every six years. The latter was de- feated in 1911 and will not come be- fore the voters again until 1917.
 In the Conway special district two directors will be elected to succeed D. o. Harton, president of the board and s. G. Smith, whose terms expire As yet no candidates have been an nounced or mentioned for the posi- ton.
 County Examiner J. M. c. Waugh ter states that the supplies for the election have been received and may be obtained by directors at the office of County Treasurer J. H. Bailey.
