vNervous Energy.

In every individual. at a given time. there is limited amount of potential energy stored up in the cells of the brain. This function seems to rest in the chromatin granules of the nerve cells, and it has been shown repeat. edly that a liberation of nervous en- ergy, whether in response to a psychic or sensory stimulus. results in pfv- siological degeneration of the ehro- matin granules, and consequently the cells themselves. Obviously, pro- longed discharge of nervous energy diminishes by so much the amount left in the brain cells. Furthermore, stinl- uli of sufficient number intensity or duration may cause exhaustion and death.

NEW VICTORY IS
 GERMAN CLAIM
SECOND SUCCESS CLAIMED FOR GROWN PRINCE IN THE
 ARGoNNE.

London - Except for a sharp con- fict in the Argonne. where the Ger man official communication claims an attack by the crown princes army was crowned with complete success" but which the French report says was re- pulsed, there has been little beyond the usual artillery actions and the bombardment of points of eoncentra- tion.
 This Is the second success claimed for the crown prince in the Argonne during the last few weeks. but as in the previous case there is a complete conflict of testimony between the two headquarters The Germans stiAe they took nearly 5000 prisoners, while the French, although admitting that their line momentarily gave way. declare that their cOunter-attacks arrested the progress of the Germans and drove them back.
 There is no change reported on either the eastern or Italian fronts. while reports that Turkey is seeking a separate peace; that some change in the Balkan situation is imminent and that the allies have made further progress on the Gallipoli peninsula still lack official confirmation.

GERMANS CLOSING
 IN AROUND WARSAW
BRITISH PRESS IS DIscouNTING THE FALL OF THE POLISH
 CAPITAL.
UNABLE TO STRAIGHTeN LINE
Absence of Additional Information There Is Nothing to Throw Light
 On Austro- German Front.

London. = With the German field marshals, Non Hindenburg on the north and Von Mackensen on the south, whipping forward the two ends of great arc around Warsaw, it is realized in England that Grand Duke Nicholas. in defending the city. has the most severe task imposed on him since the outbreak of the European war Some military writers seem to think the feat is well-nigh impossible
 There was sustained confidence that Germany's previous violent attacks along the Bzura-Rawka front never would pierce the Russian line. but the present colossal coordinate move ment was developed with such sud. denness and carried so far without meeting serious Russian resistance that more and more the British press is disceunting the fall of the Polish capital and, while not giving up all hope of its retention. is pointing out the enormous difficulty the Russian armies have labored under from the start by the existence of such a sa- lient
 Unable to straighten out their line by an advance through East Prussia, in the north. and Galicia in the south the Russians perpetually have forced the pineers of the Austro- Germans and if these cannot be sufficiently tight ened Warsaw must go and with 1t the entire line
 As was the case when the Austro. Germans recorded the success of their offensive in the east. no official con- muntcation from either Berlin or Vienna reached the London newspa- pers..
 Tn the absence of additional official information from Petrograd. there is nothing to throw fresh light on the eastern front but the Austro-Germ advance could hardly so seon have lost it's momentum
 According to the latest accounts. the Austro-German forces advancing from Przasnysz were within 40 miles of Warsaw while to the south Von Mackensen's center at points was with in 10 miles of the Lublin-Cholm Rail- road.

Attorneys Fee S.

With regard to the charge that the attorney general could have saved the state $7,000 in attorneys fees and failed to do SO I have this to say: The suit to recover the Cotton Belt fran chise tax was brought two years be- fore 1 came into office. The attorneys brought the suit on contingent fee If they succeeded in recovering the tax they expected the state to give them fee; otherwise their labor was to be without compensation. The case was pending several years, and finally reached the Supreme Court of the United States. Before it was decided the taxes. for other years were due and the attorneys who brought the first suit insisted that they should have the right to bring suits for the other years since the first suit was begun. They said that inasmuch as they had taken a chance of working without compen- sation, they should be allowed the opportunity of having a fee for the recovery of all the tax that might be adjudged due from the corporation. If there was a stipulation that all oth- CT cases should abide by the judgment in the first suit brought, that stipula- tion was voluntarily annulled by the attorneys before l came into office. by bringing other suits"

franchise taxes for the year 1914 amounting to $S.365.21. which had not been paid into the treasury, and for which no satisfactory excuse has been given The committee and it's accountants know the reason suits have not been brought on these un- collected claims This was fully ex- Most of them were in sums so small that the state could not have recover ed enough to cover the advance costs of the courts in which the recovery was had. Furthermore, the constitu- tionality of the franchise tax act was pending in the Supreme Court of the United States, which was settled a few months ago. and this is another good reason why suits had not been filed against delinquent corporations. which was explained to the account ants.
 AS to His Trips.
 The next complaint pertains to the costs of the travelling expenses of the attorney generals office, and there is d recital of two trips to Mississippi and one to South Carolina. and two to Washington, D. C, and other places, and the committee states it does not know what benefit the state of Arkan- sas received from these trips. The chairman of the committee must have known about some of the trips, be- cause he had talked with the attorney general and the assistant on the sub ject. and he could have known exactly the reasons why each of these trips was taken, and in what respect the public had interest in it. The commit tee apparently wanted no information except upon points which would re fleet upon the integrity of the office
 AS to Alleged Indebtedness
 The last item of indebtedness due from the attorney general to the state, according to the report of this committee. is $9.995.02 This commit tee arrives at that conclusion by get ting information from the Probate Court records of the different counties in the state of the amount of judg- ments that have been rendered in such courts in favor of the state for inner itance taxes, and dedueting therefrom the amounts collected and paid into the treasury since the committee re- eeived this information. The commit tee thus assumes, as an indebtedness on my part. the amount of all the judg- ments that are uneolleeted all over the state of Arkansas on account of inheritance taxes.

PRISONERS AS HARvEsTERs

The experimental use of German
prisoners-of-@ar as harvesters has be-
gun in the old province OF Orleans,
France. II may solve the question
of the harvest without the return OF
the soldiers at the front. Two hun
Dire Germans who were captured at
Carency and sent to the prison camp
at lssoudun were transferred to Ma
leshefbes and there in groups of 90,
sent 10 the different communes that
have applied to the military authori-
ties for farm help. Each detachment
isplaced under the supervision OF the
mayor of the commune acting for the
military authorities. and is subject
to the same discipline as in camp.
The men are to be paid at the rate
of about SO per month, in addition
to their board and lodging, directly
by those who employ them. Thus
far the experiment has developed no
difficulties and if ii continues to
prove successful, other conveys of
200 each will be sent to other farm
ing centers. The present harvest ont
look in the great wheat country of
the Beauce surpasses all previous ex-
pectations as to yield and quality.

PLEA FOR FLOWER GARDENS
They Add Much to the Beauty of New
England Villages

An exchange remarks-"Much of
the beauty and attractiveness of all
New England villages, as well as
much of their interest, is due to the
time flowers have the preference. In
many of the towns like Concord, Lex
ington, bingham, Newburyport, Cam
bridge or Quincy the flower gardens
have been the familiar haunts OF
statesmen, writer's, and soldiers
whose names now figure in the ma
tions history, and the trees have play
ed their part, as points OF gathering
for patriots and scholars"
One cannot be sure that the mod
ern New England town displays as
much love for flowers as former
generation. Too many congested
neighborhoods have sprung up.
Where the workers are hiyed in tene-
ments and three deckers, no one feels
any attachment to the soil, which is
considered valuable mostly for the
kids to play back yard baseball on.
Years ago hard working people used
to put a great deal of effort into
gardening One can recall villages of
factory people where the porch cover
ed with morning glories and scarlet
runners was the regulation thing In
the outskirts the lilac and syringa
bushes were the usual farm house
decorations. Today struggling lilacs
are sometimes the only mark OF
former populous dwelling. Gardening
is still popular, but people are busy
with a thousand interests. A great
many people raise one or two beds OF
favorite flowers, but there seems to
be little time for gardening on any
considerable SCALE The old-fashioned
all around flower lovers garden, with
ANIMALS and perennials, and blooms
arranged for all seasons, Is not COM
mon. Some places like Northampton
have attained remarkable results by
regular garden competition. and have
interested hundreds of people in eff
forts to beautify their town. Any one
who raises flowers performs public
service. and helps to make his home
town more attractive to strangers and
residents.-Springfleld, Mass, Repub-
