Wood testified to this in the state ment, "Haig knows more about the German army than any officer in England. Twenty years ago he wrote me from Germany where he was spending long leave, letter so full of prophetic knowledge that I sent it to his young wife to keep. Some day some one who writes his life will see what he forecasted 20 years before he went to fight the C ymans."
 The soldier will tel you Haig is g great soldier-the politician or states man of his remarkable grasp of politi- cal affairs. The Rev. Mir. Duncan of Edinburgh, will relate the comman- der-in-chief's faithfulness in attend ing Presbyterian services every Sun day morning. Newspapers will sub scribe to the general agreement: "He is more than Q treat soldier. he is great gentleman"

ST. FRANCIS CONSTABLE
 LANDS TWENTY OBSERVERS

Little Rock, Oct. GA. H. Bailey constable of St. Francis township, Phillips county, has set thrifty as we'll as patriotic example for other peace officers of the state He report ed yesterday at the office of the adu- tant general with nineteen negroes from Phillips and one from St. Louis, who are charged with having failed to report for examination when or dered to do so by the local board. Under the law they are technically classed as "deserters," and the per- son who turns them in is entitled to a reward of $50 each. So the one haul was worth a thousand dollars to Con stable Bailey. Sheriff II. w. Fingers of Polk county reported two white boys yesterday, but it was recon- mended that they be handled lenient- ly. as they had acted through ignor- ance.

 Prescott almost realized a gasoline famine yesterday when every filling station in the city was empty with the exception of one which has only l90 gallons and to make matters worse neither of the gas dealers here knew when a supply would be forthcoming. each having had some ordered for some time. But the situation was somewhat relieved today when one of the dealers received tank of "iuice" and broke q record when he delivered to local filing stations 500 gallons this morning. Tie cause of the delay in shipping the gasoline was the con gested freight traffic which prevails all over the country at present.

FRIENDS OF GEN. HAIG SAY
 HE HAS GERMAN MIND
(By Lowell Mellett United Press Staff
 Correspondent.)

(By Lowell Mellett United Press Stal
 Correspondent.)
 London, Sept. 10 (By Mail)-If the war in the West is a war of wits and nothing more there is ground for the fear some people hold that 1t will end in a deadlock. For it is then simply one German brain against another. General Haig, according to men who bnow him best and admire him most, has "the German mind"
 Fortunately there is good reason to believe it is not altogether a matter of wits. There is the ultimate super ority of the allied resources and the difference in fighting quality between free people and subservient people. But if the fight were simply between Hindenberg and Haig its outcome would be a puzzle.
 A great deal has been written about Hindenburg and very little about Haig. Little, in fact, has been known about the soldier directing the British armies in France. Modest and retc- ent personally, he has been a difficult subject fot the newspapers, but the United Press in the past few days has tapped a new fund of information con- corning him.
 Most important of this information
 the fact that he has completed the process of revolutionizing the British staff When one reads in a German IcommpniQue the phrase "according to plan," one instinctively believes that the operation described actually had been carried out in keeping with care fully prepared plans, that chance did not figure ii the matter at any stage. (Some c he German disasters which this phrase has been required to cover in recent months, however, have some what shaken this confidence.)
 But no person can now doubt that the Haig armies are working accord ing to plan" Even the German high command is beginning to realize this, apparently, since it is ceasing to at tribute purposes to the British armies beyond those achieved. Instance after instance wherein British units have taken the ground that would fit in with an exact plan and have refraired from taking more, have finally made it clear to the German generals that the British are fighting according to the rules the Germans had thought were their epclusive property.
 IL was Haig who initiated this char acter of battle, so far as the British are concerned. His military critics now say he has the "Staff mind;" that is to say he has the faculty of obtain ing and utilizing the best strategical and tactical judgment of the members of his staff. His power of absorption is great, but it is not exceeded by his ability to reach a quick decision and carry it through. Once his decision is made he has few misgivings as to re- suits. This perhaps accounts for the serenity that makes his countenance under all circumstances.
 Lord Haldane, former secretary O. war, was first to ascribe to Haig the possession of the German mind" The officers and men under him at Alder shot, where he was in command from 1912 until the war began, put tlc same thing in another way They called him, among themselves, "Von Haig." Haig has been a long time acquiring this mastery of German methods. aD- parently. Field Marshal Evelyn
