daus official statement folloWs:
On both sides OF the Somme fighting
continues. Our troops repeatedly re-
pulsed the enemy 10 his storming posi-.
tons and wherever, as the result OF
his closely following waves OF attack,
they temporarily were forced to yield
grourd, we quickly elected him by
counter attacks.
In the Bois des Trones, for instance,
which had been penetrated by the Eng.
lish. and the farm La Maisonette and
the village of Barleux. which had been
stormed by the French, were recon
auered and consolidated against the
enemy. .,
At Ovillers there was uninterrupted
hand-to- hand lighting.
The French obtained a lodgment in
the village Of Biaches.
Between Barleux and Belloy their
oft-repeated attacks continually broke
down with the greatest losses. Fur
,her TO the west they were prevented
by cur barrage fire from leaving their
trenches.

London, July 10. Despite the Ger

The Austro-German forces have de-
s.-ovei virtually every possible means
of crossing the river. Bridges were
blown 20 pieces just as soon as the
Teatons rushed across their last guns
before the astonishingly swift advance
~ the Russian cavalry and infantry.
Where she stream was shallow
enough to admit Of fordings. the re

5locked the way with hastily construct

erected and heavy guards placed IN

attempts OF the Russians 10 gain the
other side. The whole line Of the

Available piece OF artillery which the
Teutons have saved rom the fierce as

In addition. the heavy rains of the
last few weeks have swelled the river
s. that at some points the swift cur

the Russian advance than the ire Of

CELEBRATE MEXICAN
FOURTH OF JULY.

Mexico yesterday celebrated the
106th anniversary Of the declaration
of Mexican independence, the cere-
monies being inaugurated at midnight
Friday by the ringing by Gen. Venustt-
ano Carranza of the Identical boil
which Don Miguel Hidalgo, priest of
the parish of Dolores, sounded on the
night of Sept. Is, 1910, and, accom-.
panied by few followers, commenced
the march which was to arouse the
entire country against Spain.
The custom of beginning the cele-
hration with the ringing of the Mexi-
can Liberty bell has been observed
since Mexico attained her independ-
ence from Spain, with the exception
of the years of the Hapsburg usurpa-
ton. Since the inception of the revo-
luton in 1910, century after the re-
volt Of Hidalgo and his followers.
there have been fewer celebrations Of
the day. During the Tuerta regime,
the celebration in Mexico City ap.
proachd those of former periods in
dignity and pomp, although other
cities were lacking in enthusiasm The
banner which Hidalgo bore, emblaz-
oned with the portrait OF Our Lady Of
Guadalupe. the patroness saint #
Mexico, was carried through the
streets at the head of the procession
This: Of itself was sufficient to stir
tiae3 religions fever of the Mexicans.
! Padre tHidalgo's first success, 11G
years ago, was the taking Of the i'm
portant city Of Guanaiuato and Tor
several months thereafter the revolu-
ton triumphed Taken at last throug.

mates, Hidalgo was tried by both &C.

When it is realized that every man,
woman and child in Pine Bluff is de-
pending upon the outpu, of American
farms for sustenance, and the abuld
ance or scarcity of their products
creates the difference between money
saved and money paid OUT to the ex-
tent of an appreciate sum yearly,
one comes to the conclusion that
speculation in food products is thu
most debased form of gambling in the
world.
In the olden days they used to hang
food spectators. Somehow one is in
clined to think that civilization could
we'll have perpetuated the custom.
Suppose every person in Pine Bluff
is forced to pay-or have paid for him
80 cents week more for food on
account of food speculation. Consider
what this would amount to in year!
1t is a pleasure to report, however,
that the men who attempted to do a
little "cornering" of the food market
legally, of course-have fallen down
on the job. There have been several
sevpre slumps recently and some OF
these fellows are borrowing money to
live.

STRAW VOTES FAVOR WILSON.

The New York Herald, an avowed
Independent newspaper with strong
G. o. P. tendencies, is taking a straw
vote on the presidential race. The re-
suit of two ballots-one in the Her.
AIDS own composing room and the
other at the Jamaica transfer station,
have been announced. Both showed
Zig majorities for President Wilson,
and both showed gains for Wilson
over the vote he received four year.:
ago. Evidently, the Herald does not
relish the color of the straw ballots,
for now it is pointing out that in
these votes "the most interesting
light is not afforded necessarily by the
totals for the two Presidential nomi-
ices, but in the switch of the 1912
vote" To a certain extent, that may
be true, but it is suspected that the
Herald's reason for calling attention
to this interesting phase is to turn
thoughts of voters from the evidence
that Wilson leads in the straw ballots
thussfar taken. ...,.

True LEGISLATIVE PREPARED
NESS.

without workable initiative and
referendum provisions, legislatures
are exposed to the risk Of control
by powerful groups in their own sell
1lsh interest. 1t can hardly be doubt
ed that they sometimes exercise this
control. ''-'
with workable initiative and ref
erendum provisions, the people can
overrule their representatives when
occasion requires it. The control Of
legislation then rest no longer with
invisible influences, but passes to the
people where in this commonwealth
IT constitutionally belongs. The de-
feet which actually invites invisible
control is corrected. Normal progress
toward the solution of our public
problems may then reasonably be ex-
peEted. Representative government
work to degree hitherto never ex-
ceiled, and probably never equalled."
