for the German military doctors or
eye specialists to catch him off his
guard They subjected him to the
severest known tests, such as sudden
apparitions Of unfamiliar and une1-

from complete obscurity to dazzling

He was tortured by scientific ways
Of verifying sightlessness but never
once departed from fixed blank stare,
presenting always an absolute absence
of expression in his eyes. He was
finally declared totally blind and in

manently disabled prisoners.

The British steam roller "goes up
hill very slowly but 1t is now going
down hill and battles are following
each other more and more rapidly"
said Adjutant General Maurice, direct
or OF operations at the British war
onces yesterday.
The truth OF this assertion was
driven home less than twenty.four
hours after 1t was made by the be-
ginning this morning Of another Brit
ish attack in Flanders. Only three
days had elapsed since the last at
tack made on Tuesday.
Good progress was reported early
by Field Marshal Haig along the six
mile front northeast of Ypres on which
today's assault is being delivered.
Apparently the objective is the re-
matnder Of the ridge commanding the
Flanders plain over the dominant
point of which the British have al
ready passed and are driving down
ward.
Regardless of Weather
Another notable fact in connection
with the present theories of drives,
is that each is now apparently being
made regardless Of weather condi-
tions. One good day for airplane
observation was enough for the Brit
ish in this instance to get their ranges
and launch their drum nres, drop
their barrage and push to the attack
through the mud and renewed rainfall
There is no indication THAT the
French forces on the British left
| which pushed forward approximately
a mile to the edge Of Houtholst wood
in Tuesdays attack are participating
, in today's advance.
Their task for the moment seems
to have been completed. by the bring
ing up of their lines to point where
efficient protection would be given the

Unofficial dispatches from British
headquarters reported that the British

the ADVANCE along one VIDE sector
averaging nearly half mile.
On Passchendaele ridge, Haig's
troops had fought their way within
about 1000 yards Of the center of
Passchendaele village.
| The Germans seem to have scented
the approaching battle although they
probably were ignorant as to just
where the blow would fall as today's
Berlin statement reported that the
British drum fire was directed on the
| front from the river Lys to the Ypres-
Menin road. This area is south of the
front actually attacked
| As precautionary measure the Ger
man guns dropped gas shells on the
British front nearly two hours before
the attack was launched. Numbers of
prisoners already had been taken by
the British when the correspondents
filed their morning dispatches.

call to arms, was sounded, he en- listed in the Confederate army, and served with honor, throughout the en- tire period, being discharged at the end of the conflict, in 1865. He re- tired from the service with the title of Brigadier Quartermaster.
 After the war, Prof. Leiper again took up his residence at Tulip, and was elected as a Delegate to the Constitu- tional Convention of 1875, from Dall- as county, in which body he served with much distinction, and with honor and credit to his constituency.
 In .1877 Prof Leiper moved to Mal- vern and has been a resident of this city since. For long number of years, he served as principal of the school, and was later appointed Coun- ty Superintendent of Hot Spring coun- ty, which position he held at the time of his death.
 Prof. Leiper was a member of the Presbyterian church, and had been 8 member of the Board of Deacons for a number of years.
 Besides his widow, he leaves three children: Mrs. H. H. shumaker and Harp Leiper, of this city, and Prof. Macon Leiper, of Bowling Green, Ky.
 This paper joins his many friends in extending deepest sympathy to the bereaved family.

Death of One of Hot Spring County's Most Honored and Best Loved Citi- zens Occurred This Afternoon.

After an illness of only a short duration, Prof. W. D. Leiper, one of Malvern's best known citizens and one of the most prominent educators lii the state, died at 80 o'clock this af- ternoon, at his home, on Page avenue. No funeral arrangements had been made at the hour of going to press.
 Prof. Leiper had been a citizen of Malvern, continuously for the past forty years, and was held in the high est esteem by every citizen of our county. He has held the position of County Examiner of Hot Spring coun- ty for long number of years, and while he was in his 92nd year, his ac- tivity in all matters would lead one to believe he was a great deal younger.
 He kept pace with all progress in educational matters, as well as others, and in this position his loss will be keenly felt.
 Prof. Leiper was well known over Arkansas, as one of her most promi- nent educators, and his many friends in all parts of the state will learn with deep sorrow of his death.
 A Pennsylvanian by birth, he came to Arkansas in 1856 and settled at Tulip, in Dallas county. When the

Acting upon the instruction receiv- ed by wire from Adjutant General England, yesterday, the Local Selec- tion Board of Hot Spring county today mailed notices to 200 additional men instructing them to appear for exami- nation on Thursday and Friday of next week, under the Seleetive Draft Act, and enough will be selected to make up the county's quota.
 This new call is made necessary on account of late ruling of the Provost 1 Marshal to the effect that all men who have claimed exemption on account of dependency and been refused will have their cases reopened and reconsidered and it is possible that the county's quota will be made up of single men. It is impossible at this time to say how many additional men will be necessary to complete Hot Spring eounty's quota
 The following telegram received by the Board Tuesday, is self explana- tory:
 Little Rock, 9-4-17 B. c. Fitzhugh, Sec.
 Do not send to the Training Camp any men whose claim for discharge on account of dependency was appeal ed. All cases are to be reopened and reconsidered, by District Boards in connection with additional ruling re- eeived from Provost Marshal General, and it is expected that many men here tofore held will be discharged. If necessary to fill your quota, you will proceed at once to call more men for examination. Immediate action inn perative in order to have forty per cent ready on Sept. 18th and October 3rd.
