"WATCH-DOGS" GETTING
 LITTLE SATISFACTION

Little Rock, July 15.-One collector settled with the state yesterday, Sheriff Blake of Benton County. He paid into the treasury $4300O, of which only 5000 was general revenue, and all of that except $7 was in war rants. So the "watchdogs of the treasury" got little satisfaction out of the days receipts. The watchers have increased to four. The fourth appeared yesterday with $46,0O0 in warrants, but he stood around the window all day and got nothing He admitted that it was hard work One other watcher has been on duty for a week and has reduced his warrants from $20,000 to S6,000. It is reported that one packing company that has been furnishing the institutions holds warrants aggregating about $100,000.

However, 1t IS not within our authority to inter- pret or enforce the criminal statute of the state, but merely call your at tention to the conditions as they are and quote you the law bearing on these violations, leaving the public to demand of the proper authority such action as the law demands.
 The Attorney general admits that he purchased and furnished the Iron Mountain S6,500 in state warrants to pay their taxes. It is charked that he could have saved the state $7,29S.46, allowed to special counsel for collect ing the Cotton Belt franchise tax.
 It is charged that county probate records show a total of inheritance tax of $23,636.9I, Amounts allowed in Garland and Sebastian, explained by Judge Moose, leave a balance of $12,- 231.98 not accounted for.

MEANS ONLY ITEM.
 PORARY SET BACK
Sees Things in High Courts Decision that Will be Helpful to School Sys- tem-Next Legislature Will Give Relief if Possible.

Little Roc;. July 15.-State Super ;ntendent George B. Cook thinks that the decision in the school cases, by the sunreme Court this week will mean only a temporary setback for the high school interests of Arkansas.
 He sees in the decision some things that will really be helpful to the school system. It is definitely decid- ed that the hlgh schools are part of the common school system, and that it is not necessary to appropriate the common school fund every two years. These questions have been coming up every two years.
 Supt. Cook says that in the five years state aid has been given to high schools, the enrolment at such schools has increased from 4,010 to more than 16.000. The last years apportionment has not been and cannot be paid, and the high schools that have incurred this additional expense on the expec- tation of aid from the state will in many instances be seriously hamper ed. Since these extra obligations must be met out of the regular revenues of the district, it will inevitably result in reduced efficiency of the high school organizations taht had been built up.
 T believe that when the next Legis- lature takes up the question: says Mr. Cook, Eff it is possible to take the money from the general revenue for this purpose it will be done. State aid has demonstrated it's value to the educational system, and it's benefits are so enormously productive of good that l believe it cannot be ignored. Higher ideals have been established Before state aid few of those who fin ished the common school grades knew anything about colleges, universities and normal schools, but now they are being given an incentive for advance ment. We have the names of thou sands of boys and girls who have completed the common school work, and we are writing them individually urging them to go on with the high CT institutions. We are hopeful of perfecting a system that will enable us to reach every boy and girl in this manner, and that in few years we will be able to overcome the tempo rary setback caused by the loss of the state aid that has been enjoyed since 1911.'

PARIS SAYS TUETONS
 TRY BUT IN VAIN
IN the Region North of Arras Ger mans Attempt Sally from Trenches But are Stopped-Aviators Continue Bombardment. Causing Damage.

Paris, July 14.-In Belgium the enemy bombarded Furnes and Ost Dunkirk Southwest of Nieuport). In the way of reprisal we fired on the German cantonments at Middelkirke In the region to the north of Arras the Germans have twice attempted but in vain. the sally from their trnches near Souchez. In the whole of that sector the cannonading has continued. At Arras the quarter in which the cathedral is situated has particularly suffered. Three civilians were killed
 In the valley of the Aisne the artil- lery action has been quite violent. In the Argonne We attacked from the region to the west of the road from Binarville to Vienna le Chateau as far as along the Maria Therese and at several points we gained foothold in the German trenches. To the west of the forest of Argonne our attacks have extended beyond the road from Servon and put into our possession a little wood called Bois Beaurain be- tween Maria Therese and Haute Che vau.
 The gains which the enemy was able to realize yesterday did not ex- ceed at any point 400 metres, about quarter of mile in depth. In the Vosges there has been a violent bonn bardment ao Fontenelle. Our avia- tors continuing their bombardment en- terprise succeeded yesterday in caus ing importnt damage to the station at Libercourt, the military bifurcation between Douain and Lille.

ADVICES SAY CITY OF
 MEXICO IS QUIET
State Departments News is That Cap- itol City is Quiet and Food Supply
 Trains Moving Regularly.-Villa
 and Carranza Forces both Winning.

Washington, July 14.-State de- partment advices from Mexico City today reported the capitol quiet and trains arriving with food supplies. Stores and banks have not been re- opened, pending arrangement for cur rency circula ion. Communication be- tween the capitol and Vera Cruz by rail and telegraph continued and the Carranza government departments were said to be under process of or ganization as rapidly as possible.
 Consul General Shankln cabled that General Go02ales had given prefer ence to provision trains over troop trains, and arrangements for soup kitchens were progressing with the hope that it soon would be possible to feed from 5000 to 10000 persons daily.
 Additional dispatches confirmed the report that Carranza forces had re- captured the waterworks from the Zapata army and that danger of water famine had been averted. General Carranza, in message from Vera Cruz to agerts here, gave assurances that he had extended every protection l to Mexicans and foreigners within the capital and announced his decision to issue an amnesty law in the near fu- i ture, "in an endeavor to have those in error return to the true path.
 In the meantime activities of Gen eral Villas forces in pressing a live 1 ly campaign toward Mexico City from the north, reports of which continue to reach Washington, indicates that the proposed amnesty will not be ac cepted by the most formidable of the forces opposed to Carranza. In view of this situation, with the possibility that General Gonzales may be forced into another battle for possession of the capitol with General Villas army there is little talk here for the present of extension of moral support or rec ognition to any faction by the United States.
 General Villas agents report Villa still in control of Aguas Calientes. They announce advice confirming dis patches of last night that a second Villa force, sweeping southward, had captured Qucretaro, eighty miles from Mexico City, and cut off General Obre- gon's army from it's base of supplies The exact whereabouts of Obregon's army, however, has not been ascer- tined for several days.
