Little Rock, July 10 Specially
The next time a county judge in
Arkansas wants an automobile. lie
will have the quorum court appro-
pirate the amount necessary. There
is one who now has an appropria-
ton of $500 for the purpose of
buying an automobile with which
to inspect the county roads. lie
claims the county had it's eyes set
for a $500 machine, and has writ
ten Attorney General Arbuckle to
see if he cannot spend that amount
and let the next quorum court make
the additional appropriation. The
attorney general has conveyed the
sad news to him that he cannot
spent cent above his specific ap-
preparation.
1t has been the custom before
the session of the 1917 legislature
to make small appropriation for
bridge, road machinery or court
house and then spend any sum de
sired This system stood the test
of the courts, but the last leGisla-
ture so amended the law that the
appropriation could not be exceed
ed. Hence the inability of the
county judge to ride in real auto

OFFICIAL ADVICES

Washington Learns of Big Often

Western Front.

Washington, July Washing
ton is in receipt of Official advices
which indicate that the allies are
completing preparations for a huge
offensive with the assistance of
Italian forces on the western front
in France.
In reviewing the battles that are
raging in the Galician campaign.
United States army officers express
their doubt of the ability of the
Russians to prosecute the offensive
much longer against the Austro-
Germans. No reason is assigned for
this view. II is perhaps due to the
fact that Russia has not as yet en-
tirely organized its armies and that
enemy forces will probably concen-
trate heavy attacks TO combat the
advances that are being made by
the Slavs.
Army officers are of the opinion
that Germany is far from being de
feated. They say there have been
no encouraging indications to war
rant the belief that the central EN-
pires are on the even OF giving up

Washington, July 9.-States
which periodically answered the

recruit the regular army, and fur

Guard, will have relatively fewer
men drafted than the states that
did not SO generously respond.
The regulations fixing the quotas
for the various states have been
issued by the president, basing the
levies on new estimates of popula-
ton with the deductions for heavy
enlistments to date. However, the
exact numbers have not been com

The states filling the regular

The first draft, comprising six
hundred and eighty-sevon thousand
men by the war department was
announced this afternoon. This
number is just enough to fill the

treme degree, has been adopted by

! of destructiveness inflicted here by
the Germans exceeds that of any
town or city. In fact, it is so great
that American cities less than the
size of New York, Chicago. st.
Louis or Cleveland, are advised TO
keep off of it as a godson. Any one
of these cities, however, could find
in the restoration of Chanuy a task
worthy of itself.

on.
One of the interesting problems
involved in the recultivation of the
soil is that of the uneXploded gren-
AIDES and shells which now lie ev-
erywhere beneath the surface. A
single hand grenade struck by a
pillow or harrow is sufficient to kill
the horses and farmer as well as TO
destroy the machinery. One which
exploded recently underneath a
steam pillow in the vicinity of Noy-
on completely destroyed the ma
chine
Army officers who are studying
the problem frankly confess their
hope that American inventive gent
us will find some mechanical way of
discovering these unexploded pro-
jectiles in the soil. Otherwise
thousands and thousands of acres
of French soil will not be cultivat
