ARTFUL ARITHMETIC
 OF RUSSIAN STAFF

Berlin, August 7.An officer of the German reserve who is now at the eastern front writes to the "Lokalan- zieger":
 Permit me to call your attention to the official reports of the Russian general staff. Undoubtedly you have noticed that the Russians always claim to have captured a very large pumber of officers. which is out of all proportion to the men who are reported to have fallen into their hands. A few days ago, for instance, the czar's general staff lbulletined the capture of one hundred and two officers and nine hundred men.
 ''Nine hundred men are less than four companies and company has only five officers at the most. Gen erally their number is even smaller, as some are wounded and some killed every day and cannot be replaced at once. It is therefore evident that something must be wrong. with the Russian reports.
 "The matter was puzzle to me until a Russian officer who was cap tured at BolimoW explained how the Russian reports are compiled. After each engagement the commanders of the different units report their cap lures in the following manner: "17th regiment (officers, 5 (men); 50th regiment o, 41; S1st regiment 43, 11O."
 "This means that the three regi- ments have captured five officers and 204 men, but the Russian general staff will report the capture of 203 officers and 2,04O men. The numbers of the officers taken are not added at headquarters, but simply placed after each other Thus 2, 6, , be- comes 265, and it is standing order of Grand Duke Nicholas that the number of men taken must always be multiplied by ten"

ARKANSAS FAMED
 RESORT AT FRISCO

Among the S0,000 exhibits on the grounds of the Panama-Pacfic expo sition at San Francisco, is one-and a prize winner too-that is of unusu- al interest to Arkansans It is "The Globe,' a huge hemispherical struc- ture in the Transportation building on the. surface of which are shown the lines of the Missouri Pacific-Iron Mountain system in connection with the Denver & Rio Grande and Vest ern Pacific. A large model of the Hot Springs of Arkansas is one of the unique features of the interior decor ations.
 The globe is 52 feet in diameter and being cut off at the base is for ty-four feet in height. Viewed from the outside the lines of the Missouri Pacific-Ir0n Mountain and cOmnec- lions are shown, and trains in elec- tric light effect are seen travelling back and forth between St. Louis and San Francisco over the route Of the Missouri Pacific's famous all- steel through train, "The Scenic Linn ited.'
 Nearly every section of Arkansas is represented in literature supplied from the various communities and distributed by the company's repre- sentatives.
 This exhibit was recently awarded the gold medal by the jury of awards of the Panama-Pacific exposition.

BRITAIN THINKS GERMANY DEPENDS
 MUCH ON COTTON

London, Aug. 7-Lord Robert Ce- cil's statement in the house of com mons on the cotton question is taken to imply that the government has at last awakened to it's importance, all though in view of the weighty ex- pression of opinion by Sir William Ramsay and other eminent scientists as far back as last autumn, it is diff ficult to understand why the matter should not have been resolutely handled from the very outset of the war. Lord Roberts admission that the governments main consideration is financial one can but strengthen the demand for a drastic revision of the British contraband policy and a tightening of the blockade.
 By preventing cotton from entering Germany seven or eight months ago, Britain would not only have dimin- ished Germany's supplies, but ham, pered the earning and producing powers of sveeral of her most pros porous industries which depend on cotton for their raw material. INeu- trals would have understood the sound principles underlying strong policy on the part of England.
 No doubt, England would have had to pay neutrals reasonable compen- sation, and perhaps even to offer to buy up the main produce of the Amer ican cotton market, but financially even such bargain would not have been an unprofitable one, since it would have appreciably shortened a war each day of which costs Britain fifteen million dollars.
 The latest action of the German government in stopping the cotton absorbing industries of the Father land" show the value which they at tach to cotton as an ingredient in their high explosives.

FRANCE ADVISED
 TO BUY BABIES

Berlin. Aug. 1.-The decrease of the population of France is rapidly be- coming a more serious problem Tor the republic than the war. Accord ing to statistics published by Swiss newspapers the number of births which was about 1000 per day be- fore the war has dropped to less than 400. At the same time, as result of the war, the death rate has in- creased so enormously that all French provinces are threatened with depopulation. The decrease, accord ing to careful calculations, amounts to about 4,000 per day.
 There is great danger that France will not recover from this awful loss after the war. because the birth rate has not been normal even in time of peace for many years. Prof. Noulet of the University of Geneva is firmly convinced that the population of the French republic will be less than thirty millions in 1925.
 This fear is shared by many of the Frnech scientists and all kinds Of theories and plans are advanced to stop the decline of the nation. The most original proposition so far has been made by Dr. Charles Rlchet. In pessimistic article this famous sociologist advises the government to buy babies. He thinks that par ents should be paid one thousand francs for every child born to them, and will submit bill to this effect to parliament. According to his idea the thousand francs should be paid in four installments, at birth and after two. five and ten years, if the children are alive at that time. He confidently expects that his scheme will greatly stimulate the birth rate and predicts that France will have d population of eighty millions m thirty years, if his plan is carried out.

PROPOSED LEVEE
 THRU STATE FARM
 WILL BE ENJOINED
Prison Board Proposes to Contest for S284,4 400 Worth
 State Property.

Little Rock. Aug. 7.-The board of penitentiary commissioners will in the near future take steps to enjoin the Linwood- Auburn Levee district from proceeding With the construc- tion of proposed leVee across the state convict farm in Lincoln coun ty. It is estimated that the land which would be ruined by the levee is worth S100 an acre, and would therefore be worth $2S4.4O0, not in- cluding two stockades and other im- proyements on the property.
 The board has received the follow ing statement of the situation from H. N Pharr, civil engineer:
 'sThe change as proposed by the district abandons 6.2 miles of good levee already built. and throws out and leaves subject to overflow about 2,S44 acres of this farm, of which about 2,16o acres are in good eultiva ton and highly improved, including buildings, stockades and gin. Also both the natural and artificial drain age of this area of the farm will be cut off, at great damages and in jury to the property of the state. It is my opinion that it is entirely prac- ticable, feasible, safe and economical to protect this property by a shorter loop levee, necessitated by the carry ing away of the river bank, which would throw out, subject to over flow, comparatively small area of the farm and not materially inter- sere with the drainage.
 sI have also conferred with Mir. Gus Waterman, the president, and pr. c. c. Price, the engineer of the levee, and they advise me that they will proceed to construct the levee, as proposed by the levee district, and that they cannot consider the con- struction of shorter loop or any change in their plans.
 1T therefore strongly recommend that you immediately enjoin the levee district, their contractors and agents, from proceeding in any manner to construct the levee as proposed by them, and that you immediately en- join the levee district from proceed ings to condemn the right of way, and that you use every legal method to secure a thorough consideration by the courts of this important mat ter. so that skillful and proper To- cation for this levee may be had and the property of the state and district safe-guarded from the standpoint of protection against floods. Prompt and firm action by your commission is imperative"
