THIAUMONT AGAIN
 IN GERMAN HANDS
Fortress Near Nerdun Center of Terrific Eighting-French Counter Attack With Savage Onslaughts.

Paris, July 4-The Thiaumont work around which some of the bloodiest fighting of the war has taken place, has been captured by the Germans for the fourth time, according to the official statement issued by the French war office tonight.
 The French have advanced south and east of Assevillers, where they have captured wood and the village of Barleux and Belloy- -Santerre. They also have taken the greater part of the village of Estrees, where 500 prisoners fell into their hands.
 The text of the official statement follows:
 North of the Somme the day passed quietly in the whole section occupied by the French troops.
 South of the Somme, in spite of bad weather, which interferred with our operations, we extended our posi- tions in the course of the day toward lne SOulH anu edSl. we NdpIul Su woods in the neighborhood of Asse- villers and the villages of BarleuX and Belloy- En- Santerre, which we hold entirely. Estrees also has fallen into our hands, with the exception of a small part, where the Germans are still resisting. In the region of Es- trees alone we took 800 prisoners.
 "On the left bank of the Mouse an artillery struggle is proceeding in the region of Avocourt and Hill 304.
 "On the right bank of the Mouse the Germans redoubled their efforts in the region of Thiaumont, on which since midday they directed a bonn bardment of great violence with guns of big calber. About ? o'clock after several assaults had been repulsed, a massed attack was launched on the work and succeeded in capturing it the fourth time Our troops main tain their positions in the immediate neighborhood of the work An ia- tense artillery fire was directed by the enemy on Damloup and La Lau- fee. No event of importance occurred on the rest of the front.
 "On the night of July 3 our airmen bombarded the railroad station at Longuyon and the barracks at Chal- lerange and Savigny and military cs- establishments at Laon."

USE FOR BOTH.

An Englishman who stopped over night at a Western American hotel noticed that instead of ringing a bell at meal time the proprietor went to the front door and fired a double-har- reled shotgun. Later in the evening the EngHshman commented on the strange procedure.
 That's a novel idea of yours" he remarked to the proprietor, calling your guests by firing a gum"
 "Y-a-as,% drawled the proprietor it generally fetches 'em around in time to say grace"
 "Yes," admitted the Englishman. But pardon the question, why do you discharge only one barrel?"
 "Wouldn't do to shoot 'em both" answered the proprietor Have to keep tOther barrel to collect pay for meals and lodging. Philadelphia Public Ledger.

SAVE YOUR SEED.

It is both eXtravagant and danger ous to be buying seed every year. There is always danger of getting many seeds of noXious weeds. It is reported that in another state ninety per cent of seed oats brought from outside the state last spring had Johnson grass seed. Let Arkansas farmers study the seed question and save all their own seed of the clovers, alfalfa. rye, wheat, oats, corn and vegetables and save money and thus guard against adulterations. A good farmer told the writer recently that he had ten acres of sweet clover and that it all came from a small bundle of sweet clover that he got from along the roadside three years ago. The Extension Division of the Uni versity of Arkansas and the U. S. De- partment of Agriculture, Fayetteville and Little Rock, is making campaign for saving Arkansas seed. If in doubt see the county agent.

CARRANZA'S ANSWER TO ]. 5. DEMAND IS
 C0NCILAT0RY TONE
Reply Reaches Washington, But Text Not Given Out-Reiter- ates Statement Presence of U. $. Troops Menacing.

Washington, July 4.-Gen. Car ranza's reply to the demands of the United States reached the Mexican embassy here today and will be de- livered to Secretary Lansing tomor- row. If it is correctly described by persons close to the embassy, 1t . Is concilatory in language and tone and designed to offer a basis for amicable adjustment of the difficulties be- tween the two governments.
 As all Washington was celebrating the Fourth of July, Eliseo Arredondo, the Mexican ambassador r-designate, made no attempt to seek an immedi- ate engagement to present the com munication. Instead, he directed an embassy employe to give out such in- formation as 1t was deemed advisable to make public in advance of delivery of the note, and then, with members of his staff, left Washington to spend the holiday at summer resort.
 Secretary Lansing was told of the arrival of the reply by newspaper cor respondents. He seemed gratifed at the description of its contents, but withheld formal comment.
 In spite of the reserve pending study of the text of the note, the gen eral feeling here was that the crisis which has been only step from actual war had passed. If the un- official version of the reply is borne out, there undoubtedly will be a re- sumption of friendly diplomatic nego- tiations, and in the absence of further serious border raids or unwarranted attacks upon American troops there will be little danger of bpeak.
