MAYOR TAYLOR PREDICTS
 VICTORY FOR BOND ISSUE

Little Rock, Sept. 9.-If there are 150,000 votes cast in Arkansas in the election to be held next Monday, May or Charles E. Taylor of Little Rock is estimating that at least 10000 of these will favor the adoption of the Municipal Bond Amendment No. 14. Mayor Taylor has completed the com pilation of a state estimate by coun- ties, according to reports he has re- ceived from various sources on each county, and he figures that every county in the state will support the amendment. Two years ago nine counties voted against the measure, but 1000 votes added to the returns in these counties would have carried them all for the amendment.
 Mayor Taylor and a number of oth- CT speakers have explained the mea- sure in many counties of the state during the past two weeks, and many of the Democratic campaigners are also putting in good word for the amendment

Germans RepuIssd by
 Armies of tI1e AIIies

Of the war there has been a long respite from fighting. This is due. Tn the opinion of military experts. to the withdrawal of the Germans for the west and the providing of troops to be sent to the assistance of the Germans in Belgium last month.
 In Galicia General Ruescsky has won a signal victory over the Austri- ans at Lemberg and is continuing his attempt to encircle the army of Gen eral Auffenberg, moving southwest from Lemberg. He has worked around If not captured the stronghold of Przemysel, whence he can get to the rear of the Austrians who are drawn up on line approximately from kiel to Jaroslaw, and are be- ing threatened by the Russian ad- vance southward from Radon and Zamoso.
 The Austrians seem to be in an extremely dangerous position and also appear to have other troubles. The report is persistent that Emperor Franz Joseph is dangerously i'll and there are internal disorders in the dual monarchy and Italy, Roumania. and Bulgaria are awaiting Austrian defeat by Russia to appropriate some of her vast territory on the south ren frontier.
 The Servian troops are driving all of the Austrans out of the terri tory and have commenced an advance into Bosnia, while little Montenegro. after couple of preliminary sue cesses is about to invade Herzegov- mia. The Germans appear to have become busy in Belgium again, talk ing possession of Ghent and in the north apparently trying to drive the whole Belgian army into Antwerp.

STATE UNIVERSITY MAY
 HAVE CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM

Little Rock, Sept. 9-Prospects for a championship football team at the University of Arkansas this year are more than promising, according to Pres. J. C. Futrall, who has been in Little Rock several days. About six of the old mer will return, besides a number of the substitutes, and the cream of the high school teams of last year will also be enrolled.
 Capt. Rudd has issued a first call for candidate for Sept 15., the day be- fore the opening of the University for the fall term. The indications are that at least 100 men will respond to this call, and the weeding out pro- cess will immediately begin. Cook, the sensational drop kicking quarter back of last season, as well as End Murray and Fullback Rudd, will all be back but the Star half backs, May and Parchman will not return. Big Dan Estes will also be missed from the line. There will be Freshmen sui ticient to take the places of the re- tiring stars, however, and Pres. Fut- rall says the team will be able to hold it's own.
 The schedule this year is rather hard one, ending at Oklahoma City with the University of Oklahoma on the Saturday before Thanksgiving.

London. Sept. 8.-The British and r.onob troops north and east of poris have had fair successes against tbo German invaders, aceording to .Ecial bulletins issued today, while ;r calicia the Russians continue with considerable success their attempt to enveop and defeat the Austrian ormies of 100000 men under com mand of General Auffenberg.
 For the moment, at least, inter ost renters in the campaign in France for if is felt that the battle proceed inc there is the first real crisis of tbe war and will have vital effect m the outcome. The allies have sue cessfully repulsed another German at tempt to penetrate the left center be- tween Fer-C -Champenoise and Wit try-Le-Francos, where the roads and railways are more suited to the French movements than would have been the case farther north.
 In fact it is believed that General Jofres purposely fell back from ChaOne so he could choose ground more favorable for his army in it's defensive or offensive operations. In this he seems to have been justified, for not only has the German advance been repulsed, but at Vitry-Le- Fran cois the Germans have actually lost ground.
 This has been the scene of the heaviest fighting of the present bat tie for on the German right, which the allies seem to have gotten around, General Kluck is falling back before the forward movement of the French and British troops toward the Marne, between Meaux and Suzanne. There must have been some fighting here, however, as the French report some prisoners taken from the enemy.
 There have been many rumors of endorsements having been sent the army of the allies Some of the ru- mOrS are that Russian troops actual ly have joined it and others that h. dian troops took part in the fighting. These rumors however, remain with out confirmation, and through obser- vers consider the increase of the allies left wing due to the arrival Ot French troops of France and Eng land and to the fact that the advanc- Ing Of the defensive army from Paris IS taking part in the operations.
