Prints Peace Story.

Copenhagen, Aug. 30.-The state ment that an offer of a separate peace was made to Russia recently by the German government, is published in the Socialist newspaper Vorwaerts of Berlin
 It is brought out by the assertion of Premier Kerensky of Russia in his speech at the Moscow conference. l that Russia "a little time ago replied kindienantly to a proposal to con- clude separate peace" and that a l few days ago i've witnessed another attempt, equally base, directed against our allies"
 In this connection .the semi-official Nord Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung is again detected by the German press in an attempt to throw dust fin the eyes of the world and the German public by ostensibly denying Premier Kerensky's account of the overtures to Russia and it's allies which is characterized as in reality being no denial at all.
 The Tageblatt, the Vorwaerts and the Vossische Zeitung call attention to trick of the semi-official organ in denying overtures were made by chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg, whereas M. Kcrensky did not mention the former chancellor, specifying that tne proposal to Russia's allies was
 made few days ago-that is, since
 1he retirement of Dr. von Bethmann- |Hollweg.

 The general impression here is sur prise and disgust.

TYLER RESIGNS GENERAL MANAGER
 OF C017ON BELT
James Russell, Said To Be Successor, Will Reach
 Pine Bluff Today.

Tyler, Texas, Aug. 3O.-Announce- ment was made here tonight that w. T. Tyler, general manager of the St. Louis Southwestern. has resigned, ef- fective September 1, and will be sue ceeded by J. H. Russell.
 Mr. Russell is not known here, and nothing was given out as to MT. Tyler's further plans.
 That w. T. Tyler, general manager of the Cotton Belt. has resigned, eff fective September 1, and that he will be succeeded by James Russell, vice president of the Minneapolis & St. Louis railroad, is an important rail- road change official announcement of which is expected to be made today by the St. Louis headquarters of the Cot ton Belt system.
 Although The Graphic telegraphed last night to the St. Louis offices of the road for verification of the re- ports of this change. it was impossi-
  hle to obtain either affirmation or de- nial.
 That there is sound basis for the rumor, however, is indicated in the fact that Mr. Russell will be in Pine Bluff this afternoon, it being known that he is making trip over the system, and is due to reach here on No. 1, about 3:20 o'clock. Superin- tendent J. M. Kenelly went north yes- terday to meet him and to accompany him here, and Superintendent Elmer Richards arrived here yesterday from the south end of the line, to accom- pany MT. Russell to that section of the system.
 MT. Russell, it is understood is on his way to Tyler, where he will meet MT. Tyler, and where it is expected he will formally take over his new duties.

RUSSIANS F|GHT-' AGAINST ENEMY

Cowardly Soldiers Who Flee Are Replaced By Troops
 Who Are Loyal.
Associated Press SummaryD

While the Russians west of Fox shani again have deserted their posts thereby permitting the Teutonic allies to make additional gains in the region If Ccna and Kezdi---Vans dheli they are giving battle to ihe invaders and on both sectors have ropulsed strong attacks.
 Between Ireshei and Fokshani, a majority of the men comprising two Russian ragim eEts deserted their trenches and fled, but the Russian commanders had taken steps to re- store tko f.rmer status of the line by filling thc gaps with loyal men.
 Following the report of fresh disaf- lection among the Russians on the East Bukowina front which came prior to the commencement of the ret rograde movement in Southern Mol david, Premier Kerensky in a speech at the closing session of the Moscow conference let it be known again that order was to be brought out of the chaos by the putting to death of the towards who threw down their arms in the face of the enemy.
 The possibility that the rule of "blood and iron" already has begun with the deserters before Fokshani, is indicated in the latest Russian of ficial communication, which says that one of the cowardly regiments was dispersed" VT Y
 As is usual when the Germans be- gin to notice faltering among their foes, they have thrown into the battle line in Moldavia some of their tried attacking troops who doubtless will press to the full the advantage they have gained through the cowardice of the Russians.
 On the Bainczza plateau in the Austrc-Italian theatre, General Cad orna is giving the Austrians no rest. keeping up his intensive attacks along the entire front. New gains of con- siderable importance in the general scheme of the Italian commander in chiefs offensive have been made, and at several points where the Austrians have striven to hold back the Italians or to recapture lost positions, they have been repulsed. More than 800 new prisoners have been taken by the Italians.
 On the front in France and Belgium no important agements have taken place.

Navy Department Officially Discloses Work of Amer
 ican Cruisers.
SUBMARINE TOLL,
 GREATLY REDUCED
Officials Oi Department Declare Loss of Conveyed Merchantmen Is Less Than One Half of One Per Cent.
 Capture No T. Boats.

Washington, Aug. 30.-American na- val Forces are conveying merchant craft across the Atlantic, it was dis closed officially today, at the navy department, and examination of the records show that the loss of con Voyed ships by submarines has aver aged less than One-half of one per cent.
 Details of tAc convoy system are withheld. It was stated, however. that American war vessels are regu- larly escorting fleets of British. French, and other allied merchant men across, the protection being sup plemented when the danger zone is reached, by destroyers and other pa trol craft.
 American naval officials believe that an effective system for checking submarine menace is being built up gradually but certainly. Many de- vices and many methods enter into the task. Among other things depth bombs are proving effective.
 Official reports indicate that Amer ican destroyers have accounted for several u-boats with these weapons. No announcement of this matter will be made, however, unless absolute proof is available.
 No uboats hANe been captured by the Americans. It is the best judg- ment of high officials however that several have been sunk by Admiral Sims destroyers.
 Pay on Liberty Bonds.
 Washington, Aug. 30--Nearly $4OO,- 100000 was paid into the treasury to- day in the final installment of the Liberty loan. Approximately $1,615- O00,000 already has been paid in, rep resenting principal and interest on the Liberty bonds.
 It is thought likely the bonds soon will be ready for distribution. It also is likely that an announcement con- corning the second issue of bonds will be made shortly by Secretary McAdoo.
 Expect Coal Decision.
 Washington, Aug. 30--Federal control of the conntry's c5al indus try was again today the subject of discussion by the directors of the Ma tional Coal association with the pros poets that an announcement as to President Wilson's price scale will be accepted without protest would be forthcoming before the week is over.

 The announcement was made from the white house.
 Labor representatives on the com mlttee voted first for $1.S4 per bush el and the farmers for $2.5O. After long discussion the compromise at S2.20 was approved unanimously.
 The committee, in it's report to the president, gave as it's three chief considerations that entered into it's deliberations the fOlloWin%:
 The fact that the United States is at war;
 The need of encouraging the pro ducer;
 And the necessity of reducing the cost of living to the consumer.
 All members agreed in their dis cussions that the price fixed will per- init of 14-ounce leaf of bread for five cents, allowing fair profit both to the flour manufacturers and the bakers.
 Members of the committee said to- night they expected criticism from the farming classes, but they felt every farmer should consider himself part of the war machinery of the gov ernment, and willingly relinquish part of his profits for the common good.
