Roy Montgomery Cannot be Found
Left Home on Route Three Yes terday to Look for Cow and Calf in Missouri River Bottom and Cannot be Found.

Considerable excitement is caused by the mysterious disappearance of Roy Montgomery, who left his home yesterday morning, to go to the river bottom in sarch of COW and calf.
 Montgomery lives with his father in-law, J. N. G. Andrews, on route three, about six miles from Prescott. About the middle of the morning he saddled his horse and went to the bottom to look for the COW and calf. He carried an additional horse with him to ride back home after the stock had been found. The horse that he led returned home late in the even ing. When MT. Montgomery did not arrive home search was begun. The first parties failed to find any sign of the man, horse, COW or calf and today numerous parties have been searching all parts of the bottom. Up to the time of our going to press there had been nothing at all learned of the dis appearance.
 Mir. Montgomery is a young man about twenty-five years of age and is we'll known in Prescott and surround ing territory. He has a wife and one child and they have made their home with Mrs. Montgomery-s parents.

DESPERATE FIGHTING
 IN REGION OF YPRfS
London Admits Germans Drive Back Advanced British Forces French Push Advance Into German Trenches Over Mile.

London, Aug. 24.-The Germans in violent attacks with fresh effectives along the Ypres- Menin road have driven out the British advance forces from positions captured in Wednes- days fighting, according to the official communication issued by the war of flee this evening. Fierce fighting con- tinues in this region.
 The Germans have lost heavily un- der the fire of the British guns.
 Heavy fighting proceeded through out the night in the southwest edge of Lens for possession of the great slag heap known as the Green Crassier, from the crest of which the Canadians broke through late yesterday, after having a footing on it all day.
 The British this mo ming were con- tinuing the battle from positions which they had seized immediately northwest of the Crassier, and the Germans were. making strenuous eff forts to re-establish their shattered
The Prescott daily news., 1917-08-25

defenses on the top of this artificial hill.
 The Canadians held the crassier until late in the afternoon in the face of numerous bitter counter-attacks by strong forces of the enemy. In each case hard and-to-hand fighting with the bayonet resulted in the Germans being thrown back with severe losses.
 Toward evening the Germans threw great mass of men into the attack and the Canadians fell back slightly to positions adjoining the crassier. Sanguinary fighting has continued since then.
 The Germans during the night turned their attention to the Portu- gese allies north of La Basse and at tempted two raids against Portugese trenches, but were repulsed.
 Northeast of Ypres the situation virtually is unchanged. The British have improved their positions in sev- eral places and have successfully with stood counter-attacks. The Germans shelled this section of the British front heavily during the night.

DISTRICT EXEMPTION
 BOARD VERY BUSY

Little Rock, Aug. 25.-One of the busiest places in the city at this time is the office of the district exemption board for the eastern district of Ar kansas. They are meeting in the Pulaski country grand jury room. There are a dozen clerks assisting the four members of the board: They have been at work since last Tuesday, and on account of the slow reports and records of appeal it is impossible to say when they will complete their work. Many of the reports are also incomplete and improperly drawn, and these must be strengthened out.

fIlRTHFR DECLINE
 IN COTTON MARKET
Selling Movement Continues and Close is 7S to S6 Points Lower Nothing in Weather News to Create Fresh Sentiment.

Now York. Aug. 24.-The selling ,,o,oment became more active and ,.,oral in the cotton market here to- dav and there was a further big break in prices. December contracts dool;ned to 22.25c, nearly a cent a nound from last nights closing fig nros That delivery closed at 22.36c, with the general list closing steady at 2 net loss of IS to S6 points.
 The market opened barely steady at {. decline of II to 20 points under ovornieht selling orders, brought in bv the bearish spot advices of late vesterday. There was considerable covering around the initial figures, leading to slight rallies, but the de- mand was soon supplied and the mar ket weakened under continued selling, which was believed to be partly for Southern account.
 The GeCllUe was dSdlh SiCShSu by covering around the p 1-2c level and rallies of Is or 20 points followed, but offerings continued heavy and the break extended to 2225c for October and 22.24c for January during the afternoon. This made decline of be- tween so and 97 points from last nights closing figures on the more active positions, and of approximately 4c a pound from the high level touched on the advance, which fol- lowed the last official condition figures. The Southern selling here seemed to color the bearish private spot advices from the South, while there appeared 'o be nothing in the weather news to create any fresh sentiment as to new C9p progress. Last prices were a few points Up from the lowest on covering

MURDER CHARGED TO
 MUTlNOUS NEGROES
Troops Who Ran Amuck Are Ordered From Texas-War Department Will Act Only After an Investigation.

San Antonio, Texas, Aug. 24.- Gen. James Parker, commander of the southern department, today is- sued orders for the return to their station at Columbus, N. M., of the battalion of the Twenty fourth Unit ed States infantry at Houston and also the battalion at Waco. The move ment is to start just as soon as trans pOrtatiOn can be furnished and the necessary arrangements made.
 Houston, Texas, Aug. 24.-Blanket charges of murder were filed tonight by District Attorney John Croker against 34 negro soldiers of the Twen- ty-fourth infantry, held in the county jail as result of the troubles last night, which ended with the death of IF persons, four of them city police officers.
 l This was the first move indicative of an attempt by the state to retain custody of the soldiers rather than turn them over to the army for pun ishment.
 ] Announcement that Gen. Parker had ordered the removal of negro sol diers of the Twenty-fourth Infantry from Houston to Columbus, N. M., served materially to restore spirit Of of+ of unrest, following the race rioting last night, which resulted in the death of IF persons and the wounding of more than score.
 Coming as the climax to a series of minor troubles between city police and negro military police guarding Camp Logan, Houston's mobilization site for the Illinois division of the national guard, Thursdays outbreak created reign of terror for many hours. Of the 125 negroes to leave their camp Thursday with stolen ammunition for a raid upon the city, all but eight were accounted for at o'clock this even- ing. The remaining fugitives are eX- pected to be rounded up before morn ing, scores of civilian and military patrols being in the field hunting for them.
 Mai Gen. George Bell, Jr., will ar rive tomorrow to take over charge of the situation from Gen. John A. Hulen, who was appointed commander by Gov. Ferguson when the state eX- ecutive declared the city and county under martial law. Hulen's appoint ment later was confirmed by Gen. Parker, in command of the southern department.
 Indicative of the complete control now held by the white military forces is the announcement issued tonight that construction work at Camp To- gan, interrupted during the day be- cause of the riot, would be resumed on regular schedule Saturday morn- ing.

PRISONERS ARE LITERALLY
BOARDED BY TEUTONS
Interned Australian Says Junkers Feed
Men Captured on a Wooden Diet In
The Camps.
(By international News service)

(Bv International News Service)
LONDON, July IF. Seton Delmer,
Australian educator, who was intern
ed in Germany from the beginning of
the war until he was released a few
weeks ago, has arrived here and
makes some remarkable revelations
about the conditions among the Kai-
ser's people.
Holzhehl, a flour made of wood, Is
in extensive use at present in Ger
many. according to Professor Delmer.
"This new wood-fodder is a sort
of forlorn hope which the landowners
have eagerly clutched at" he says.
"The Russian forests in the occupied
districts, l have heard, are being
ruthlessly cut down and turned into
wood-meal. This wool-meal is IN
tended primarily to serve as a cattle
food. Bread is also made from it, and
l have been told that it is even given
to the soldiers. l am more inclined
to think that it is reserved as a del
icacy for the prisoners camps.
"a most important revelation about
the Russian prisoners was made TO
me in an unguarded moment by a GER
tain high official about a year ago.
After the war, he said, German agri-
culture will be of supreme Importance,
hut, as a result Of the appalling losses
we have suffered, there will be a great
lack of farm hands in our fields. We,
therefore, at the conclusion Of peace
mean TO keep back as many as we can
