.LEVEE ON BLACK
RIVER WASHED OUT
Much Live Stock Lost;
Newport Has Sufficient
Food Now.

LITTLE ROCK, Aug. 3O.--A levee
on Black river, a tributary Of the
White river, broke near Pocahontas
this afternoon adding several thou
sand acres TO the flooded districts Of
north Arkansas. The break was not
unexpected and the residents OF the
overflowed section escaped but much
live stock was lost and the damage
to crops was heavy.
The Newport relief committee to-
night announced that the people Of
Arkansas have responded so gener-
Ously TO appeals for aid for flood suf-
ferers that no more assistance will
be required The committee has suf-
ficient money to care for all the ref
ugees i'm that city.
The crest of the White river flood
now has passed all the important
towns on its course. Its lower course
runs through a sparsely settled Sec
tlon and little additional damage is
anticipated.
Little Rock relief committees now
have turned their attention to the
towns OF Georgetown and cotton plant
where many refugees have assembled
and are reported to be in need OF as

Precautions.

In every age. iu every nation there
has been 10 class of individuals who
objected to all Innovations solely on
the ground that they were new.
Everybody numbers one or more of
these Objcctors among his aCquaint-
EuCes.
Preventive medicine ls referred TO
these days as new science and so IL
is that many Of the measures used
today are hudry with age and have
been sanctioned by s3nit1ri1ns Of tho
dim centuries The scriptures hold
evidence OF this and now and again
the historian may mark a passage
which adds confirmation.
The care of water supplies is one OF
the things which she opponents of
modern sanitation most frequently
beuttle and which the public health
officials continually recommend.
To those bold objtctors who blat-
antly proclaim their superiority TO
precautionary measures it is interest
ing to quote from Uerodotus. "the
father OF history" who wrote some
twenty-three odd centuries ago Of
Cyrus, the Persian king.

Farrar for an opinion as to its legal
status and powers. In the meantime
fOmer captain Of the guard ordered

erty on orders from the governor as
Communicated of the Colorado
militia. The trouble started when G..
b. Elliot, former adjutant general Of
West Virginia and now reputed to be
a detective in the employ Of the
United Mine Workers of America, re-
fused to answer questions regarding
the alleged plot of detectives and labor
leaders to wreck the state guard.
Then former Captain Philip S Van

college company in the strike zone
in 1913-1914 and who later was the
leader of an ant-Chase faction within

The Reply.
The foreign seCretary's confidential
communication to Prince LChnowsky
Is thus summarized:
The confidential communication
was to the effect that should events
not take the turn anticipated by the
German military party or should
Great Britain wish for other reasons
TO bring war to a speedy end he al
ways would be prepared, if he re
NAMED in office, to undertake the
task of mediation and be of assist
ance to Germany He had not the
slightest intention to crush Germany
and wished only to restore peace upon
acceptable conditions and put an end
to unspeakable misery for the civil
lied world"
Prince Lichnowsky remarked that
the role of arbitrator would be easier
for Sir Edward Grey had Great
Britain maintained neutrality. He
answered that the participation Of
Great Britain would shorten the dura-
ton of the war.
The Overseas agency in concluding
its summary of the North German
Gazette's reply says:
"If Sir Edward Grey assented to
the acceptance of the proposals for
a conference he would have main
tanned peace.
If Germany had quietly looked
on while Russia gathered her mill

many today would look as east Prus
sa did after the Russian invasion
and Sir Edward Grey himself had
read the report of the British am.
bassador at St Petersburg that Rus

man mobilization and war. If the
foreign secretary had told st. Peters
burg that Great Britain would not
enter a conflict war would have been
avoided instead Of being precipitated
by the promise Of support,

FASHIONS AND SOME FADS
BY Betty Brown


Dame Fashion must be in league
with some fur trust. Having put fur
bands on everything from picture
hats to petticoats, she makes further
effort to bankrupt us by decorating
silk dancing stockings with triple
strands of fur coyly placed at the an
kle. To be sure, one can live quite
happily without fur-trimmed hosiery,
but it sets one wondering where the
fur fad will loom up next
Although the ninety-and-nine are
wearing coats with high fur collars,
the particular woman selects model
with broad collar which rolls away
from the neck. It's fur-trimmed, of
course. Would one dare to wear a
collar that wasn't decorated with fur
Every woman seems to be a law
unto herself as to coat lengths, but
the fashion censors-the great de-
signers who create the styles look
with favor only on the jaunty hip
length coat, and the coat of extreme
length. The ''betweens" are frowned
upon.
