Suddenly, about ii:30 o'clock, the curtain fire of French shells which had been pounding the German trenches into flatness was lifted slightly and dropped with the utmost precision just behind the German line.
 Officers waited, watch in hand for the chosen moment. Then the French infantry, covered with mud and sand. and soaked to the skin went over the top of their positions Despite the oOziness of the uneven ground, they rapidly gained the Ger man lines. where they found amid killed and wounded. hundreds of Germans who, half-dazed, mostly surrendered after slight resistance.

AMENDMENT NO. f3 IS NOT
 \ MENACE TO PROHIBITION
The Idea That It Would Give Town Right to Defy Statewide
 Law GroundleSs.

Monticello, Oct. 27.-Congessman T. H Caraway of Jonesboro, speak ing before the w. C. T. U. Conven- ton here today, told the women that their fears that Amendment No. i3 would give the people of a city or town q right to vote in saloons in defiance of the present Statewide prohibition law, had not a leg to stand on III law or common sense.
 His speech was made in opposition to the contention of Prof. John H. Hinemon, who started the scare that has been going around the State among the temperance people for the last two weeks. The Congress- man said in part.
 T do not question the sincerity of Prof Hinemon. but he has need lessly alarmed the temperance peo- pie of this State, of whom 1 am one, and has placed in jeopardy the adoption of Amendment No. i3, which will be of untold value to the common people of Arkansas in con- trolling legislation. The claim that the section. which gives to the peo- pie of cities and counties the right of direct vote on their local affairs, (such as a vote on franchises) would give them power to establish saloons and gambling houses in contravention to statewide prohi- hition, has not leg to stand on in law or common sense.
 Col, George Thornburg, Editor Mckinney of the Baptist Advance, and Dr. Frank Barrett of the Vest ern Methodist. the leaders of the anti-saloon movement. were con- suited in the preparation of Amend ment No. i3. After careful scrutiny they held that The provision of the 1. X R. to cities and counties will not have any effect on our statewide prohibition law They hold that now and they are right
