BATTLE CONTINUES
 IN BALTIC RIBBONS
GERMANS BALkED IN EFFORT TO REACH LEMBERG FROM
 THE SOUTH.
ARTILLERY FIGHT IN WEST
Italians Have Begun an Attack on Gorizia, One of the Strongly For
 tified Austrian Positions.

London = In the Baltic provinces and along the Dniester River heavy fighting continues between the Rus sians and Austrians and Germans. The movement, forward and back ward, of the battle lines in the Baltic provinces is almost continual and each side has at various tires held the advantage.
 In Galicia the scene of the fighting has changed. The Germans, baked in their effort to reach, Lemberg from the south, have attacked the Russians and along the Dniester in Southeast ern Galicia, and in their report claim successes in both sections
 The movement in the southeast re- sembles that which failed further up the Dniester, at Zurawna, but is on a wider scale. The right wing of the Austro-G German army is only 25 miles from the Roumanian frontier, while its left wing reaches as far as Halicz where many attacks have been de- livered against a bridgehead The center of the operations is Kolomea. from which point the main attacks. which have carried the Teutonic al lies across the Dniester in several places, are being launched.
 Simultaneously the Germans are proceeding with their attack on the Russian center on the River Rawko, west of Warsaw, where they also have been successful, according to their report
 In the western zone artillery en- agreements are in progress from the sea to the Woevre. and even beyond that district, with here and there in- fantry fighting. The French have at- tempted to force the Germans at some points out of their strongly entren ch- ed positions. and the Germans have been endeavoring to recover lost ground A big German offensive was predicted several days ago, but so far it has not materialized. although it is still expected.
 With Monfalcone and Gradisca in thelr hands, the Italians have begun an attack on Gorizia (Gorz), further up the 1sonzo River, and one of the Austrians' most strongly fortified DO. sitions. The Italians already have cut the communications 10 the north and south of the town, so that it now depends entirely on the difficult noun tain road to the east.

MUST
 MAKE AFF|OAV|TS
INQUIRIES HAS BEEN RECEIVED FROM ALL PARTS OF THE
 STATE.
NEW LEGISLATIVE ACT
New Law Allows Him to Own Not More Than $2,5oo as Homestead
 and $500 Personal Property.
Little Rock.


 As result of misunderstanding of the law requiring veterans of the Civil War who are on the State pen sion rolls to file affidavits as to the property they own, large number of inquiries by mail and phone and per sonal calls are being made to Coun- ty Clerk Herbert S. Turner if it will be necessary to again make proof Of service. Mir. Turner said that in the last week, 25 personal calls have been made to his office while inq1l- rieS have poured in from all parts Of the county and many from elsewhere in the state.
 The law requires pensioners to make affidavit as to their property holdings only. They do not have to again make proof of their service dur ing the Civil War.
 The last legislature passed a new act which increased the amount Of property veteran might hold ard still be entitled to a pension. The new law allows him to own not more than $2,500 as homestead. $500 worth of personal property and to have an income of not more than $250 year. It is to find if all pensioners are within these limits that affidavits are required.
 The affidavit blanks are furnished by the county clerk of each county and are to be filled out and signed before two witnesses. They are then returned 10 the clerks. In Pulaski county the county pension board will meet the second Monday in July to check over the affidavits. These tn, T are to be forwarded to the State Pen sion Board, which meets in August to be again checked. Vouchers are then issued and furnished the county clerks. who distribute them to the pensioners who are required to call at his office to sign receipts.

He touched on the matter of diversified tion of crops and the reduction of cot ton acreage. with the consequent ef- feet it would have one the business of members of such associations as the one in meeting He pointed out that more general use of cotton seed products, which has been steadily growing. is a diversifcation in itself He declared that reduction in cot ton acreage, which would have a ten. dency to increase the price, would mean that foreign countries adapted to cotton growing would stimulate that industry. He pointed out that China may become a great cotton producing country and that cutting down of the American production would mean a consequent curtailment of exports that could be met by for eign countries, with the effect of keep ing prices down instead of sending them up. as many expect would re- suit.

SCHOOL AID SUIT
 DECISION APPEALED
DISPOSITIONS OF FUNDS DE TENDS UPON ACTION OF THE
 SUPREME COURT.
SAYS LAW UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Declares the Legislature Made No Specific Appropriation For Aid
 of High Schools.
Little Rock.

Little Rock.
 An appeal from the judgment of Chancellor Martineau of tue Pulaski County Chancery Court in granting an injunction against the payment of s50,000 annually out of the common school fund for the aid of higd schools, was filed in the Supreme Court The suit was brought hy State Senator w o. Edmondson of Stone county. The suit contends that the law is unconstitutional because it requires the payment of money for a purpose other than that for which it was raised, and because the legisla- lure made no specific appropriation for the purpose. Chancellor Martineau granted the injunction on the latter ground. No similar case has ever been taken to the Supreme Court, it is said.
 It has been customary for the legis- lature to appropriate each year a lump sum for Confederate pensions out of the fund created by special pension tax. This was not done in connection with the state aid fund and the common school fund, and suits that will bring both points to the Su- preme Court are pending. The suit affecting the common school fund has been filed in the Pulaski County Chan cery Court Should the Supreme Court hold that an appropriation must be made out of a fund levied and set aside for a certain purpose, the fund for the enforcement of the state game and fish law may be tied up.
 When question was raised about the right of using this fund Attorney General Moose advised that it could be used.
