 GEORGIA ADVICE

The Salt River Valley people should send 100000 bolls of long. staple Pima cotton 10 their friends in the Cotton Belt declared C. M. Zander, chairman of the state tax conference, who has just returned from a trip to Georgia where he attended the National Tax Conference at Atlanta.
 Those 100000 bells would do more toward advertising this valley insist sd Mir. Zander than all the discussion that could be held or all the printed matter that could be sent there. The old-fashioned Southern cotton is bringing 30 cents at present an almost unheard of price When I told the people there that long staple cotton raised in the Salt River Valley was in active demand at so cents and that the growers were holding it for one dol lar, they simply wouldn't believe it. They thought it was another wild Western yarn.

 A telegram from the same source dated September 25, said the Germans were seeking persons in Switzerland to issue a Russian newspaper, with the idea of increasing the disaffection in Russia. The telegram said the Ger mans were willing to spend large sums for distribution of this newspaper on the Russian front.
 There also was published today a telegram from the then foreign min- ister, M. Terestchenko, to the Russian ambassador at Madrid, instructing him in the event of the king or the Spanish government approaching him with re- gard to the Austro-German proposition for peace, that the ambassador should inform them that "the decision of the Russians to carry on the war remains fixed, as was clearly emphasized at the Moscow conference" The ambassador also was to say that it was a great mistake flor neutral powers to think | sRussia's interest in peace would agree with any conditions they might at- tempt to thrust upon her."

 One prospective solution to take care of the waste water is to turn the stream back into it's old chan nel
 There is some waste water from the Arizona canal which continually over flows in the same district, render ing the soil soft and infirm so that when a heavy flood comes it offers no resistance and is washed away.
 Economy Measure
 An effort to cut down the main tenance cost of the project will first find expression in an experiment which will be tried out in one uf the five cleaning camps operated by the Water Users.
 The plan includes the purchase of a truck and trailer, which will work out of a camp centrally located in the district handled by the crew. With it the men will be carried to and from their work in the morning, noon and evening. This will eliminate the necessity of feeding and caring for the several mule teams which now serve this requirement and are thus employed only part of the time. If the plan is successful it will prob ably be applied to all of the camps,
 Make First Payment
 At the meeting yesterday the board made arrangements to make the first payment to the government on the cost of the project. After the de- duction of the several credits se- cured the amount will be $135,O ,OOO. The sum was due December 1, but on account of delay in finishing some minor accounting work the exact figures were not available and the payment was deferred. The first payment originally consisted of two per cent of the entire cost of the project which would have been s2O3,- 219, the entire cost having been $10,160,95O.

Making Another Att.mnt


 WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE, Dec. 3.-The Germans today were making their second great at tempt to break through the British oefenses in the Gonnelieu sector and pinch off the salient which General Byng recently drove into the enemy territory a little further to the north. The German assault was launched against La Vacquiere shortly before g o'clock in the morning and spread rapidly. Within two hours a heavy battle was in progress over a consid- erable front from La Vacquerie south- ward towards Venhuile.
 The enemy was employing great forces of infantry which were sent for ward under terrific artillery lombard ments from concentration of guns which the Germans had perfected since the smashing of the Hindenburg line
 By noon there were indications that the German onslaught might equal if not surpass in fierceness their drive which carried them through the Brit lsh front south of Gonnelieu last Friday.
 The British infantry and artillery had met the shock brilliantly and were holding their own strongly through the first grim hours of fighting. The Ger mans approached La Vacquerie from the east and southeast and at the out 1 set it appeared that the attack was comparatively local In their initial charge the enemy came up against a stone wall and they were forced to fall | back. They kept coming in waves, however. and finally secured foot ing in the town but were immediately elected.
 Intense fighting at close quarters | followed and as this progressed the Germans developed an offensive opera tiOn further down the line. By Il o'clock their artillery was maintaining a drum fire against the whole front in- volved. As the day wore on the Ger man attack also spread northward to- ward Masnieres and became even fierc- CT. The battle about La Vacqutrie was particularly intense with the contend ing forces at close grips.
 There appeared to be no doubt thai the enemy intended to break through the British front if possible, regardles: of cost. The Germans were flinginl infantry into the assault in heavy waves and their losses have already been great as must necessarily resul from this method of warfare.
 For this counter-o offensive a grea number of men are being employed b, the Germans. Up to the latest report however, the reinforced British werI meeting the onslaughts firmly, and spirit of optimism pervaded the de lending camp, although none denied the seriousness of the hour.
