LONDON, Sept. 2S.-The French
are now battering the second line OF
German defenses in Champagne,
while the British to their north, ap-
parently have been able to crush all
German counter attacks. So far as
can be ascertained the situation on
the western front as brought about
by the allies on Saturday and Sunday
is about where 1t was.
The diversion initiated by the
crown prince in the Argonne at some
places reached the first French line,
but nowhere did the Germans break
through.
While German prisoners are arriving
in France by the train load. British
wounded from Flanders are beginning to
reach London. All have the same story
70 tell. They describe the terrific born.
bardment OF the allies, before which 1t
seemed impossible that anyone could sur
vive. and then the sudden slackening OF
the fire and the British charge.
How IL happened that so many un-
wounded Germans were captured is puz-
zling the public.

PARIS, Sept. ss.-Intelligcnce from the
Champagne front beyond chaions,-ssshlch

army which was shattered IN the attacks
against French works. These engage

princes center made furious efforts TO

the result that all railway lines TO the
east and north. according 10 French in
formation, were engaged last night in
carrying away German wounded.
French officers reckon that the crown
princes army lost 10000 men In this at

OF the great battles of history--have been

the results were only negative. Germans
captured recently testified that the re-
sistance Of the French has been as de-
struetive as their offensive, and that
their artillery fire. of deadly effect "a
year ago. has now attained such intensity
as to work Generalization among their
opponents.
In yesterdays attack the Germans sent
two divisions against the French line

SUNDAY TELLS
OF RESULTS OF
PERSONAL WORK
breaches on This Topic for Fourth
Time Since Beginning
His Campaign in
Omaha,
RELATES INSPIRING EXAMPLES
Gives Audience Story of Winning of
Shoe Clerk Who Was Named
D. L. Moody.
SCORES MILDEwED CHURCHMEN

For the fourth time in his Omaha
campaign Billy" Sunday preached
on Personal Work" yesterday after
noon at the tabernacle.
Inspiring examples of miraculous
results from personal work bristled
from the sermon. such as the win
ming Of shoe clerk by personal
work--a shoe clerk by the name of
D. L. Moody; and the personal work
that won a boy, who, in turn. won
his aged, infidel grandfather and his
saloonkeeper father, the father in
turn bringing about prohibition in
the county and the whole state of
Georgia following into the dry"
column.
Billy had the audience in laughter
sometimes by his funny acting of the
part of Baptist deacon who didn't be-
lieve in personal work. The deacon had
spinach on his chin" and when he
stroked it, according to the chuckling
Billy he scared up a meadow lark, a
jack rabbit and two garter snakes. -
/There were many Methodist deacons in
the audience, some with spinach" on
their chins. but they laughed with the
rest
They laughed, too, when he described a
woman, who, being asked by John Vas
sar, a famous personal worker. whether
she was Christian, replied saucily and
sharply:
Yes. am"
Il didn't mean that kind" said Yassar.
The crowd laughed when BILLY" re-
lated it, and in the midst of their mirth
he shot at them:
Calls Them Swapping Turtles.
Yes, l guess that strikes some Of you
old swapping turtles. doesn't it?'
But, as .the Virginian'' demanded, the
evangelist laughed when he said it, and
it left no sting.
Again and again he denounced the
"mildewedP church members who do
nothing to save heir neighbors, friends
even their owl miles.
what are you doihEY What are YOU
doing? What are you doing?' he cried.
Don't be satisfied TO poke your own
head into heaven while you let all the
lest go to hell"
Scripture Verses Recited.
An interesting feature OF the meeting
occurred just before the opening prayer
when Billy called on members of the
audience to give favorite verses contain
ing Gods promises. From every part OF
the house the verses came, some men em-
phasizing their quotations with upraised
hands.
Mrs. Sunday and Mr.. Rodeheaver were
not present because they were holding a
meeting in Council Bluffs.
Billy announced his sermon which he
will preach both afternoon and evening

RACING BILL CUT DOWN.

Probably the hardest fight that has been waged in the Senate during the present session was witnessed yester- day when supporters of the Sawyer racing bill attempted to pass the bill The fight ended temporarily when an amendment eXempting B counties from the provisions of tn bill was adopted, IS to 15, at 3::30 o'clock. The bill was made a special order for 9: SC o'clock this morning, when it is ex peeted the fight will be renewed. Some of the members opposed to the measure announced yesterday that they would fight it's passage even if ' were made to apply to Hot Springs only
 The counties exempted follow: Grant, Saline, Hot Spring, White, Faulkner, Prairie. Lonoke, Clark, Pike, Cross, Woodruff, Washington, Polk, Howard, Sevier, Little River, Hampstead, Nevada, Jefferson, Se- bastian, Cleburne, Conway, Searcy Van Buren, Greene, Clay, Craighead, Crawford, Sharp, Scott, St. Francis, Arkansas, Monroe, Chicot, Ashley.
 The first amendment was offered by Senator Davenport. It was to submit the bill to the people. A sec ond reading of the amendment was objected to,=but the rules were sus- pended and it was read. Senator Going moved to table the amendment but he was ruled out of order.
 Senator Davenport spoke in favor Of the amendment. He declared that he did not believe the people want such a law and that he did not believe it would receive 300 votes out Of 5000 in his district.

that the money paid for student la
 Dor should go to residents of Arkan-
 sas only. Another was require
 ment that the treasurer and purchas- ling agent furnish bonds of $10 900 each The fourth amendment was a slight change in the wording regard ing the funds of which the treasurer shall keep account.
 Numerous amendments to cut the items as they were considered were offered but all failed. Among those
 offered was one by Senator
 Fdmonson to change the location of the hog cholera serum plant from Little Rock to Batesville. Another, by Senator Duty, would have made two distinct offices out of the secre- tary and treasurer. The bill, as adopted by the Senate in committee, will create the office of purchasing agent at s 300 per year The amend ment provided that the secretary al- ready employed should act as purchas- ing agent, and that a treasurer be appointed at $500 a year. This, he said, would save the state S900 per year. Two attempts were made to include in the bill an item of 5000 for the installation of two neyn boilers. The amendment was not adopted

HERE IT IS AGAIN.
Bill introduced in Senate to Remove University to Little Rock-An
 Annual Bill

Little Rock, Feb. 27.-A bill to move the University of Arkansas from Fayetteville to Little Rock probably will be introduced in the Senate this week by Senator Rob- ert l.. Collins of Heine Senator Col lns says he would have introduced the measure Friday night if the session had not been confined to the consideration of local bills under a resolution adopted Tuesday.
 The bill provides that the site of the university is to be on part of the government land at Fort Logan H. Roots, if the government will give to the state 10 acres or more for this purpose. The removal of the in- stItution would not hinge on this pro- vision. however, as the bill provides that should the government refuse to part with this land a commission 10 be selected by the governor may select a suitable site in Pulaski coun- ty III any event the site must con- tain at least 40 acres and must be secured without cost to the state. If the government does not grant the land within year the commission is to take up the matter of securing another site.
 Another provision of the proposed measure is that Pulaski county and the city of Little Rock must donate Sl00 oo0 to be used to pay for the erection of buildings on the new site. 4 commission of three members ap- pointed by the governor is to confer with the Arkansas delegation in Con- grass relative to the securing of the site from the government. Members Of the commission are to serve with out pay, but are to receive actual ex- penses incurred in the performance of their duty.
 The reasons for the bill as set forth in the preamble are that the present location of the university is against it's best interests because of the inaccessibility to many parts of the state. The preamble says that tie institution should be located near the canter of the sate where it may be easily and eheaply reached by those over the state The pream- ble says there is a sentiment in the state in favor Of the change and that this sentiment has been growing for years. It says that since Pulaski county is more easily accessible than any other part of the state it should be chosen as the site of the univer- sty.
