". But Lose 1t Again When French
Execute Counter Attack-Paris
Reports Advance Near Arras.

/ London, June 29-Enormous num-
bers of German troops are being
transported from the eastern front to
the west. The greatest secrecy sur
rounds the movement. AS on the
occasion of the first attempted drive
toward Calais, the Germans have
again adopted the expedient of clos
ing the border between Holland and
Belgium This news was received
from The Hague today.
Official reports from Paris and Ber-
lin chronicle little fighting of a ma
ture calculated to change materially
the situation of either of the adver-
saries.
The most spirited action was fought
in the VOsges. where, in their en-
deavor to push forward on the slopes
to the east of Metzeral. the French
suffered momentary check. Their
advance posts were thrown back dur
ing the night, and this morning the
contest for the positions was resum-
ed. After a terrific counter attack,
in which the Germans were again dis
lodged, it was reported at Paris that
the French again occupied all the
ground they had lost
A slight advance was made by the
French infantry north of Neuvelle. in
the Arras sector. In a sharp engage
ment the French gained the sunken
Rad from Angres to Alkaline. and by
dint Of hard fighting were able to
push their advance forces few hum
dred yards nearer to the latter town.
On the remainder of the front scat
tered local infantry actions were re-
ported as we'll as artillery duels Of
great intensity.

Cole Revises Prediction as
to NFoot Stage at Pine
Bluff.

Little Rock, June 29.-With the Ar
kansas river falling at Fort Smith,
Section Director II. S. Cole of the
United States weather bureau said to-
day that the prediction of yesterday
of 27~foot stage at Pine Bluff would
not likely be fulfilled, unless there
should be additional rains in the up
per watershed.
1t is thought improbable the river
here will rise above flood stage, as
was the case in the recent high water
when stage of 255 was recorded.

New Orders to Submarine Command

Cushing and GuIilight.

Washington, June evidences
accumulated today at the state de-
partment that concrete plans arc in
process of formation between the
United States and Germany to re-
duce to minimum the dangers to
American life and prof.. 4rty ins the
German war zone.
II can be stated as fact that there
have been limitations from Germany,
although not directly from the for
eign office. that an effort is now be-
ing made to avoid attacks on vessels
flying the American flag.
It Was admitted at the department
today that the United States is now
advising the German foreign office of
the date Of sailing from America of
every vessel flying the American flag
and also Of the approximate time such
vessels will pass into the German
war zone This information is sent
to Ambassador Gerard for communi-
cation to the German admiralty. The
fact is taken to mean there have been
important communications between
this government and Germany, which
have not yet been revealed.
Officials say, however, that it is OBJ
vious that the German admiralty has
sent new stringent orders to its sub
marine commanders to avoid attacks
on vessels flying the American flag
unless absolutely certain that the flag
is employed, Tor deception Gernant
has stated to this government hereto
fore that the admiralty has given
such instruc tions to submarine COM
manders and endeavored to explain
that attacks like those on the Gulf
light and Cushing were accidental
The new order, it is understood, is in
tended to eliminate such accidents

Corn Lands in Danger.

The river at this point registered
a stage of 2O9 yesterday. Because
the Mississippi is bank full, the water
will not flow out of the Arkansas as
rapidly as it did during the recent
high water. 1t is feared that a stage
of % feet here will be sufficient to
inundate several hundred acres plant
ed to corn since the last flood.

Yesterday came to headquarters a
letter from Boston enclosing a check

who through their " efforts have

These four nurses will be known as
the Milton Academy nurses and each
will wear a button inscribed with that
announcement.
Two DAYS ago from Tuxedo came
a letter from Mrs. Henry w. Munroe,
saying that the ladies of Tuxedo had
subscribed a fund to pay for a group
OF still others to be known as the
Tuxedo nurses, The junior committee

but the Indications are that the plan
will be widely followed. The expense

when these ran low the nurses declin-
ing to accept pay had to come back
home. 50 our hospital adopted the
plan OF paying each OF the trained
nurses a nominal salary OF $50 a
month, after they had served for two
months without any remuneration al
all. This $50 barely covered the cost
OF keeping up their necessary ward
robe and meeting their own personal
petty expenses.
For a while this worked we'll. But
then we found II something else.
These women, devoted to their work in
the hospital, in a number Of instances
were completely worn out at the end
of six months unremitting service and
were In such physical condition that
they simply had to leave the strenuous
task and take a rest. When they did
leave. one after another, because they
could not stand the toll any longer
without danger to their own physical
we'll being, they had exhausted their
savings and were without funds. Nat
urally we deemed this not only unfor-
innate but unjust to the nurses.
las the war progressed we realized
that 1t would be practically impossible
to find In the United States a suffi-
Gent number OF volunteers TO take
their places-volunteers Of the needed
calibre and surgical experience, l
mean, or course, So at present we
are trying to raise a special fund In
this country, so that we may pay each
OF these nurses, while on active duty,
