Associated Press Summary

The British troops in the region O
Messines are continuing to make gains
at various points against the Ger
mans, who apparently are unwilling to
give battle.
East and south of Messines further
advances by Sir General !Iaig's forces
and the capture Of important posi-
lions are reported. New advances in
neighborhood of the hamlet of Gas
pard. which lies directly east of Mes
sines and between Lays and st. Yves
and east of Bloegstaert wood, form a
direct menace from both north and
south to the important towns of War
negon, and roads leading eastward to-
ward Confines.
The artillery duels between the Bel
gians, French and Germans on vari-
Gus sectors in Belgium, particularly
near Seenstreete, LiZerne and Boe-
singhe, continue unabated and doubt
less these regions soon will be the
scene of important infantry engage
ments.
still no activity by French and Ger
man infantry, but guns of both sides
are keeping up intermittent bombfrd-

the Germans and Austrians are max
ing reconnoisences with small parties,
but they generally meet with hard
usage at the hands of the Russians.
In the Caucasus, the Kurds deliver
cd strong attacks against the Rus

With the abdication of King Con-
stantine and the departure of the mon
arch the queen, tire crown prince and
the royal encourage from Athens to
embark on British Warship, the
Macedonian theatre holds forth prom

Additional entente troops have Occu-

protect ripening crops.
Meanwhile, on the fighting front on
the Graco-Serbian front, much fight
ing is taking place, but without any
important results.
The French war office reports the
repulse by Italians and British of
Teutonic attacks.
The Austrians on the Carso and
northeast of Goriia, in the AustrO-
Italian zone, have delivered attacks
against Italians in positions they
recently captured. All attacks, how
ever, went for naught, owing to the
accuracy Of the fire of Italian artil-
lery. Likewise in the TrentinO sector
heavy offensive by the Austrians
was put down by the Italians, the
enemy being driven back in disorder
and with heavy losses.

Flag Day address beneath Washing

Germans military master denied the
United States the right to be neutral,
the president said, and by extraordi-

US no self-respecting choice but to
take up arms in defense of our rights
as free, people and of our honor as

He recalled how the imperial gov
eminent forbade Americans the use
of the high seas; how it filled the coun-
try with spies and conspirators, and
sought by violence to destroy indus
tries and arrest commerce, and how
the foreign office tried to incite Mex
leo and Japan into hostile alliance.
"What great nation, in such circum-
stances, would not have taken up
arms" he asked.
"a sinister power" he said, (which
has the German people themselves in
it's grip, now at last has thrust forth
it's ugly talon and drawn blood from

"The whole world is at war;" he ad-
ded, because the whole world is in

Typical among the graceful intro
auctions to such articles is that by
Maurice DeWallace, in LIE Petit

"There are no longer any Pyre-
nees,' said Louis XIV, when he mar
ried Spanish princess. There is no
longer any ocean, General Pershing
might say with greater justice, as he
is about to mingle with ours, the demo-
cratic blood of his soldiers. The fus-
ion of America and Europe is a fact
to note. Henceforth, there is but one
human race, and we can repeat the
words of Goethe after the battle of
Valmy, From today, new order of
things begins"

1t was an impressive spectacle when
General Pershing stood with uncov-

Napoleon and paid silent tribute to
one of the worlds greatest military
commanders. AS the American party
entered the spacious grounds of the
Hotel des Invalides, Ehey encounter
ed many veterans of the French wars,
who are CHARTERED there.
One of these was grizzled veteran
Of Crimea. He still wore the ancient
uniform and carried on his breast the
decorations of those old days. AS he
saluted, General Pershing stopped, ex-
tended his hand, and said:
at is a great honor for young
soldier like myself to press the hands
of an old soldier like yourself, who
has seen such glorious service"

This will be optional with the enrolled

Pine Bluff still has opportunity to
have company in the Arkansas ma
tional guard, but in order to accept it
there must be quick work here in re-
cruiting. The First and Second regi-
ments are complete; twelve companies
for the third are complete, two prac-
tically filled, and one uncertain. 1t
is in this uncertainty that Pine Bluff
finds it's opportunity. Yellville is re-
cruiting an organization, but is not
making very rapid progress. If Pine
Bluff recruits her company before
Yellville, the organization from this
city will be mustered in as the fiji
teenth company Of the Third regi-
ment.

Adams of The Graphic, Henry Roberts
Claud Pledger, Will Jenkins and X.
Ray Mcintyre, who called on the
Acknowledgement relative to the Ell
forts that have been made to raise
unit of the guard here, and to urge
that instead of the work being aban-
doned local men be given authority
to continue recruiting to the end that
Pine Bluff boys who desire to serve
in a. home organization have the OPP
portunity to do SO. General Eng
land agreed to this, and authorized
Henry Roberts to prosecute the work
The acknowledgement made it clear
however, that if the Yellville company
| is completed before the local organi-
cation then it would be accepted. In

is required to feed such an army; that France and
England are scarcely able to feed and supply their
