DESPERATE FIGHTING
 IN ARRAS SECTOR

 FLASHES ITS GAINS.

London. Although diSagreeins as to results, the German official state ment and the French and British com munications indicate that the fighting in the Arras sector and at the north ern front is as desperate as any the western theater of war has developed The area of hostilities is tiny as com pared with the sweep of the Galician front, where the Austro-Germans are still driving forward, but the last few days have brought much Eand-to-hanu fighting, the British and French striy. ing to hold the trenches gained, and the Germans. with a preponderance of machine guns, as promptly initiat- ing a counter attack
 Each side dwells on the losses Of the other, and each emphasizes it's gains. all of which have been costly, although comparatively small as measured in distance It is too early to say whether this means a serious Franco-British attempt to break through. but is it patent that they are on the offensive.
 In the east the Ausuo-Germaas forces are not only nearer across the frontier of Poland, but claim to have driven the Russians further across the frontier of Poland in the vicinity of Tarnogrod, as we'll as penetrating fur ther into Bessarabia- The battle for Lemberg is now raging along the fortified Grodek line, where it is predicted the Russians will give final stubborn battle to save the capital.
 The British press, pending such time as the Russians stiffen their re sistance, is finding solace in the re- ports of the collosal human sacrifices which the Austro-German drive through Galicia entailed. It is claim ed that the Russians, even if forced to retreat, by clever management have drawn the Austro-GeTman forces periously far from their rail commu- nication, meantime so seriously sap ping their vitality, with estimated losses of 10000 men a day, as to con tribute materially to the outcome of the western campaign.

PEACH CROP IS
 UNUSUALLY LARGE
OZARK REGION FRUIT CROP IS ABUNDANT THIS YEAR-RAIL-
 ROADS ARE PREPARING.
NEW GRAIN NOW MOVING
Enormous Yields of Wheat and Alfalfa Are Now Being
 Harvested.

Little Rock Preparations are being made by the St Louis & San Francisco Railroad to handle 9,700 cars of peaches out of the Ozark region this year. according to E. D. Levy, general manager of the Frisco.
 NIT. Levy says the season has bean favorable for fruit crops and that peaches have responded splendidiy The prospective apple crop in tie Ozark region also is looming large.
 The Frisco taps the Ozark fruit country at it's richest producing points, in the Southwest Missouri re zion, of which Koshkonong is the cen ter, and the Northwest Arkansas ter rttory. of which Fayetteviueis the cen ter. The road also traverses the rich grain belt of the southwest from which it expects to derive heavy son- mage his year
 Harvesting has begun or is begin ming practically everywhere in the lower tier of grain states. Mir. Levy says. The wheat crop is made and is an abundant one. Recent heavy rains in sections of Oklahoma and Texts damaged wheat, but it is not too late to blow it under and make a late corn crop. This will be done. Mir. Lew says.
 The alfalfa crop is by far the lar gest ever known in the Southwest, m the opinion of MT. Levy The crop in some sections has been discolored, he says, but the discoloration does not injure alfalfa as a feed.
 Whereas a few weeks ago NIT. Levy expressed fear that the railroads would be unable to meet the grain situation, because they had not pur- chased their usual amount of new rolling stock, he now believes the car riers by supreme effort will be able to handle the crops without serious congestion
