public interest that confronts the

that within the next few weeks the
citizens will have time to give this

DEPARTURE OF
18TH DELAYED
Kentucky Guardsmen Not Going To
Hattiesburg at Present Owing
to Short Water Supply.

Washington, d. C.-The India
ma and Kentucky National Guards
will be held at home for an indefinite
period. An unexpected delay has
arisen because of inability to secure
proper water supply at Hatties-
burg, Miss, where the guardsmen of
Indiana, Kentucky and Illinois are to
camp.
A well has been drilled to a depth
of 900 feet and it is still a "dry
hole" There is one well in camp,
but it is wholly inadequate to fur
nish water for the entire division.
AS the War Department views the
latter, it would be the height of fol-
ly to send the guard to camp where
there is an insufficient water supply
and the guardsmen will be held at
home pending a satisfactory solution
of this difficulty.

the execution of the draft law was
taking competent men from the

that threatened to curtail seriously
the production of foodstuffs.
"The proposition that skilled farm
labor be replaced by unframed men
from the cities was tried by Great
Britain with disastrous results the
report said. eve feel that the Unit
ed States should not repeat this mis-
take. The present Interpretation of
the selective draft law is sure to re-
duce food production. The welfare
of the nation demands that the law
should provide for the retention on
the farm of practical and efficient
farmers actively engaged in crop
and livestock production prior to the
declaration of war, provided affida-
Wits are submitted to the effect that
their services are essential to the
continuance of normal production"
Representatives of livestock feed

$4,000 PRISONERS
Z TAKEN BY ALLIES
70 Last Few Days-Since July
81 They Have Captured
81, 500.

Doudon.-ln the past few days the
y-tente allies on the Western front
Aave taken $4,000 prisoners, and
since July 81 they have taken $4,000
prsoners," said Major General Fred
sricl W. Maurice, chief director of
the war intelligence office in his
weckly talk with the Associated
Press. 81 am confident" he added
shat before the end of August we
sill have topped the figure of 10000
which the Germans claim to have ia
sen in a month on the Russian front,
although their total undoubtedly is
composed by at least half of mere
.stragglers from the mutinuos and
,iisorganized Russian units"
General Muarice continued:
The temporary disorganization of
me Russian front has not been as
serious in effect as the entente allies
,so feared, and as the Germans had
aop..i. A German break through in
Meidavia and in South Galicia would
nave mad serious results, for it would
nave involved certain strategic re-
ornaments on other parts of the line,
ouI the Germans made no progress
ae7s, and the Russians are fighting
well
"The Germans now have begun Of
Sensrves on the Russian front, but
the operation has only just started
and thus far has accomplished moth
ing.
Summing up the whole operations
~ che Russian front since the Rus
1Sn refinement began. it may be
said that the Germans achieved only
local successes. and there are no in
1jcationS at present of big adverse
Developments"
Discussing the siuation on the
British front in France and Belgium,
Gseneral Maurice said:
'We still are in the midst of
oarde. Battles nowadays last two
or three months instead of day or
cwo, as in the old times. Trying to
predict the result from the achieve
menrs thus far is like Judging the
,attie of Waterloo from the situa-
aon that existed at 10 o'clock in the

IN Flanders we can probably say
Ehetner we are likely to obtain a de-

THE DOGS PART.

The papers recently chronicled an
incident which helps to explain why
Ambrose Bierce's classic denuncia-
ton Of the dog fell on deaf ears, and
why that animal retains his place in
human affections, in spite of faults
IN both sides. A farmer was knock
ed down and badly gored by VIC
ious bull, when his shepherd dog
heard the disturbance and charged to
the rescue so furiouslv chat the in
jured man was able to escape. There
was a time when such an occurrence
was all in the DAYS work, and even
now, probably neither man nor dog
was surprised at it. The dog con-
siders it his plain duty to face any
odds in defense of his master, and
the master, if he is not the less adj
mirable brute of the two, feels an
equal obligation to care for his dog
IL does not matter that few human
beings need to be rescued from a
bull, or that few CANNES are equal
to such task. The relation between
them is hereditary, instructive, deep
err seated than any ordinary process
of reasoning-as every police magis-
trate knows. Your neighbor may
forgive you for killing his chickens
or even for striking him, but never
for injuring his dog.-Chicago Jour-
nal.
