LONDON, Aug. 25.-A dispatch to
the Daily Mail from st. petersburg
says:
The German defence in East Prus-
STA is based on four parallel ana
strongly fortified lines running north
and south. Each is supported by
natural obstacles. The foremost three
| lines are distinct groups OF numerous
lakes. The fourth and strongest oe-
| fence line is the Vistula river, ex-
tending from the Russian frontier to
the Baltic
"Outside these defence lines the
] Germans have on the northeast the
very strong fortress of Konigsberg,
with fortified advance positions at
Libau and Tapiau. This is situated
on the flank of the Russian line and
must be invested, necessitating the
detachment of considerable force.
1.-THE foremost three defence lines
are extensively fortified. There are
important and permanent fortifica-
lions at Allenstein and Poyan, and
the whole is filled with lakes, leaving
only comparatively narrow defiles for
the advancing troops. The country
is full of Notifications, partly pro-
visional and partly field works, most
of which are armed with heavy guns.
| A frontal attack would be very diff
ficult task.
"The Vistula, from 500 to 1000 yards
wide, is guarded by six fortresses.
The largest are at Thorn, in the
south, and at Danzig in the north.
Between them are Fordon, Kuhn,
Graudens and Mariensburg.
"A man entitled to rank among the
| first as an organizer of Victory is
compelled to remain far from the
| battlefield. He is General Soukhom-
! linoff, the Russian Kitchener, who is
| now recognizing the Russian armies.
Through him the armies have been
| irreproachably equipped, and the
spirit of the men is the same as the
spirit of the nation.
+ 1.-THE defeat of three German army
corps in northeastern Prussia was
converted into a rout by the timely
arrival of another army coming from
| Warsaw, in the rear of the enemy s
position. The Warsaw army, which
was very powerful, completely turned
! the German position at Mazur lakes.
| and while extending it's operations
over a wide front westward, headed
towards Allenstein. The German
! Twentieth Army Corps thus became
a nut between stout crackers. The
commanders of both Russian armies
acted with energy and promptitude
worthy executives of the brain DOM
| mating the whole army.
I'm Galicia the theatre of Russian
strategy will be on a level with the
victorious plan adopted farther
north. The Austrians in Lemberg
probably will be taken in a similar
wise This may be inferred from the
| fact that one army has reached Rava,
to the north of Lemberg. Another

Eyewitness of Battle at
CharlarOi Says Germans
Marched Into Hurricane of Iron
By the Associated Press.

PARIS, Aug. 25.-A traveller who
has come to Paris from ChaElaroi was
a witness of part of the fighting at
that place. He has related his ex-
periences to a reporter Of the Petit
Parisien as follows:
at was at Foreux, fifteen miles from
Erquelines. This region is covered
with a thick growth of trees. From
where I was stationed l could see the
passing for hours of column after
column of German infantry. They
were subjected to a veritable hurri-
cane of iron from the French artil-
lery, and they went down by the
dozen Nevertheless, more came for
ward to take the places of the slain.
cat So1ere- e-Chateau I saw a Ger
man aeroplane brought down by a
well-directed shot, and I was told that
another such machine had met the
same fate at NerIes."

nine Russian cavalry squadrons have
routed the entire Austrian cavalry
division at Plukhow.
1.-THE Austrian force retreating from

teen miles from the frontier, towards
Sokal, in Galicia, Austria, probably

turned from abroad and is going to

LITTLE LAUGHS
 (By PRUNNY.)
"AS IT REALLY IS."

A group of professional men con- gregated in the lobby of the Citizens Bank building yesterday afternoon were discussing the donations being made by Pine Bluffians to save the life of little Grace llliff, when one said:
 "Well, Pm anxious to see that fund grow to sufficient fund to send that little one to Chicago, where l am sure she will sbe properly treated and ulti- mately restored to health, but Pm afraid some of these fellows in this town are going to be like rich bank CT ] heard of one time. The story goes that the banker was called from this life to the pearly gates of heav- en, where he was greeted by St. Peter, and the following dialogue took place:
 What is your name?" asked St. Peter.
 John Henry Jones'" replied the banker pOmpouSly. St. Peter thereupon ran down the long lists of Jones', but failed to find the name of the banker. Where are you from, Mr. Jones, and what act did you perform while on earth to cause you to believe that you have place in heaven" inquired | the keeper of the gate. From Chicago" replied Jones, | "and I recall just now one act that l think entities me to enter here, aId it's this: One night while enroute home, passed a poor, crippled child selling papers. There we bought our papers for one cent each, but l gave the child two cents each for the ten papers she had, and sent her home
 think that should give me my pass port to heaven"
 St. Peter gazed sadly at Mir. Jones for a minute, and turning to a vener- able patriarch, seated on a rear seat
 said:
 T Hear that? What would you do 1T
 case of this kind?" } Well" replied the saint addressed I'd give him back his twenty cents and tell him to go to hell.'

ARKANSAS SOIL SURVEY-WHY
 NOT?

Arkansas needs soil survey of every county and of every farm within her boundaries. What would this mean? A wealthier state, more business and as a base to all this, progressive farmers. Then should not the legislature of Arkansas at it's next meeting supply our College of Agriculture with funds to work out a soil survey for Arkansas, supplying our demonstrators with maps of these surveys so that they may work hand in hand with the farmer, bringing about scientific methods of fertili- zation and replenishing the worn out soils There can be no better invest ment of state funds. Business Organl- zations all over the state are taking this matter up, several having adopt ed resolutions asking the General Assembly of the state at it's next meeting to make an appropriation ad- equate to conduct this work.-unl- versity Weekly.

TT INE BLUFF ROGRKSS
 ROsPERITY
DOING NOBLE WORK.

Thanks to the generous spirit pre- vailing among the good hearted men, women and children of this city and vicinity, quite a neat sum has so far been raised with which to send an afflicted little girl to Chicago for treatment. It has been only two days since the movement was commenced and it it gratifying to know that there have been, so many responses. In the spiriti with which sums were given, the smallest donation ranks for it's part with the largest, for many in giving small amounts have done all they could be expected to do.
 Hardly anything commanding public attention arises unless it develops in some the good or evil side of their nature. It makes us the generous or grasping when We are in good circum- stances. And in connection with the fund for the little llliff child there is one inci0ont which should appeal greatly.
 A little fellow who had by dint Of saving accumulated a sum of $1.26-- something of importance to the juve- nile mind-gathered penny by penny, learned of the little girls unfortunate plight, and how the great specialist might relieve her of her suffering. With an unselfishness rather remark able, the child gave his all of pennies toward the fund. To his childish mind the giving of those pennies was a greater self sacrifice for the aid of another than that of a wealthy man drawing check for one hundred dol lars. We are forced to admire such a spirit in child.
 Not sufficient sum has as yet been realized to cover the necessary eX- pense and we believe Pine Bluffians who have not so far done so, will lend helping hand. There is more Christianity in this, helping the help less, than all that the vamporings oi sreech can ever accrue. And the greater portion of us by far, would much rather sbe the donor of mite toward this worthy cause, than t6 have hidden away an enormous for tune that could not be spent, and fol which grasping desire for gain would forbid us to be of benefit to oul less fortunate of humanity.
 Let's swell the fund today until b, nightfall there will not be any doub as to there being sufficient fund. Tn sooner the little girl is given tn, proper treatment, the better are he chances of recovery. You'll neve miss small sum given.
 If the little girl should not be sen to Chicago, ere long there will be little grave dug.
 The crying need in her case we'll known. Who must bear tn blame?

stormy nights, but soon discovered
 that the men so applying were, as a
 rule, unworthy. They showed disre- spect for religion by disturbing the
 worshipers and interrupting services. The country has turned against the I. w. w. because it's membership shows it is opposed to all forms of so- ciety. When offered work the rank and file refuse to toll. There are idle men in the northern states be- cause of the shutting down of out door employment during winter. In former years many who now flock to cities remained in the country and worked for nominal wages until spring. But with the municipal lodg- ing houses and free soup at the bread line the cities become crowded with idle men, some of whom are vicious. Unemployed men could be given work by the different states in stone quarries during winter months and the output of the quarries could be sold for road building purposes. Deserving poor should be cared for, but the undeserving should be con- pelled to work, and the state can find employment for men in getting out road building materials.-Nationa Weekly.
