NUMBER 42

Suit has been instituted in Chan cery Court at Paragould by Greene County against the collector and as sessor of Clay county asking the court to restain these officers from leyying, assessing or collecting any taxes on the lands and other property in Blue Cane Township and from exercising any authority over the township upon the allegation that the territory em- braced in Blue Cane is rightfully a part of Green county.
 Under a special act of the Legisla- ture of 1895 Blue Cane Township, comprising approximately 25 square miles of territory was taken from Greene county and annexed to Clay county and since that time il has been under the jurisdiction of the Clay county authorities.
 Five years ago the county court of Green county authorized the institu- ton of a suit in chancery in an effort to have the territory restored to Greene county, alleging that section l. article 13 of the constitution specific ally provides that the area of no cOun- ty in Arkansas shall be reduced be- low eco square miles The petition alleged that when Blue Cane Town. ship was taken from Greene county the area was reduced to 575 square miles, and that because of this fact the act seeking 10 annex the terri tory in controversy to Clay county was a violation of the constitution.
 The suit was continued for several terms pending the collection of au- thentic evidence showing the exact number of square miles in Greene 1 county. Beeauza of the fact that the iorel "5se9t had net made a eu~yey O. cc-tatn swamp lands this evidence could not De obtained, and non-suit was taken
 Recently the government completed it's survey of swamp lands and it is now known positively that Greene county has only 575 square miles, and since this fact can now be established the suit has been revived and will come up for hearing at the next term of chancery court. The territory in controversy is one of the richest sec tions of the country, containing a large number Of fertile and highly de- veloped farms
 If Green county wins the suit Clay county will have to refund all the taxes collected since 1895.

WITH THE FRENCH LEGION.
France, Oct. 19.-(By MaiD-Eight
hundred odd Americans enlisted in
the famous French Foreign Legion
In the early part of the war.
The Legion, which is one OF the
finest fighting regiments in France,
has participated in nearly all OF the
big offensives to date, and many of
the American volunteers were killed
or permanently wounded in these
actions. The American contingent
suffered especially heavy during the
big French offensive in Champagne
last September. where, the regiment,
as usual, covered itself with glory.
Since then, fully 80 of the Ameri-
can legionaries have been transferred
at their own request into the Franco
American Flying Corps; others have
secured their discharge, while quite
recently the remaining ones have
manifested an ardent desire to get
into the French regiments which the
French government has finally per-
mitted them to do.
The legion at the present moment
is defending one Of the more quiet
sections Of the French front, where
the first line trenches run just in
front of one Of the most beautiful
end most historic chateaus of France.
The chateau itself has been com
plctely destroyed by the Germans,
but the grounds, in which the legion
Is encamped, remain almost as beau
tiful as ever.
The transfer Of the legion into this
ideal spot for few weeks OF quiet
trench fighting is in recompense for
the brilliant part played by 1t in the
early part of the Somme offensive,
where it suffered heavy losses.
Almost the first man whom I met
in the legion, after the officers. was a
1s-year-old boy of st. Louis. Mis-
souri,. Although member of the
legion for only the past nine months
he is proudly wearing the much COW

NATIONAL LEAGUE
SHOWS WEAKNESS
PRESIDENT TENER ADMITS THE
BASEBALL PLAYED IN HIS CIR.
CUT IS NOT so sNAPPY AS
THAT OF AMERICAN LEAGUE.
by HAMILTON
United Press Stan Correspondent }

(Untted Press Stan correspondent
NEW YORK. Nov. THE weak
ness of the National League brand OF
baseball. as compared with the snappy
brand dished out by the American
League, pointed out by the United
Press in the last world series, was ad-
mitted today by Governor John X.
Tener, president of the National Lea
que.
1t isn't Wilbert Robinson who is so
much to blame for the loss of the
world series, according to Governor
Tener. but is due to the fact that the
players who made up the National
League club were wholly unable to
do the things which might have won
ball games. 1t would have been use
less, Tener contends. for Robinson
to follow tactics other than the ones
he did follow.
Inc uciulu6S uONcIuOT lcucT
agrees. was something awful, and the
Brooklyn club never has a chance
against such grand organization as
the Red Sox.
Tener, however, is extremely opti-
mistic and he believes that before the
time comes for another world series
his league will be strengthened to
such an extent that 1t will give its
rival opposition of the sternest sort.
Work is now being done, he declares,
which will give the National League
undoubted strength.
The National League prexy agreed
that there were several clubs in the
National League at the close of the
last playing season which would have
given the world series fans better
run for their money than did the
Dodgers. He didn't name these clubs,
but it was evident he does not be-
lieve the best club in the National
League won the pennant,
