SECOND DRIVE OF
 P|CARDY CAMPAIGN
 0N 25-M|LE FRONT
Three Terrific Infantry Drives Made by Enemy at Different POints-But Small Gains Are Netted.

London, April 4.-Three terrific German infantry drives on as many sectors of the 25 miles front between Montdidier and the region west of Albert today opened the second major phase of the Picardy campaign which has now resolved itself into what will be known as the battle of Amiens.
 Both against the British and the French, the Teutons made progress. But the new drive has not nearly the lmpetuous force of the opening as- sault on March 2S. The attackers pressed the allies back by pushing for ward the spearhead of their wedge toward Amiens. On the two Hanks, however, the allies retained the upper hand throughout. Terrific all night fighting is in progress.
 Field Marshal von Mackensen is re- ported on the way to the west front. He is Germany's greatest cavalry general. Hindenburg manifestly is looking for a great battle in the open
 Lively firing from the Krupps fiared up in the Ypres sector during the day. A German drive there is to be scheduled to coincide with the in- vestment of Amiens upon which the kaiser's high command appears to have staked all
 One million men are reported to have been collected by the Germans for the second phase of the new drive. The net result of today's German assaults, as made known up to late hour tonight, were: The British were pressed hack a short distance in the direction of Hamel and Vaire wood, both south of the Somme. A violent battle still ragged in this region after darkness had fallen. Everywhere else the British held firm. The net ad- vance brings the nose of the German wedge nearer to Amiens, but the gain did not appear to be considerable | enough to cause alarm, particularly inasmuch as the British line from the Somme to Arras held like granite.

P3I0R|TY GIVEN ID TROOP TRANSPORTATION
n..on shipment of Food to Allies h1sa uas Keen Abandoned for the pI,raasent-Ships I,a Are Ready to Carry the Men.

u.shiugton. April 4.-The German offensive will be renewed on the west L ,nt There is need of American
 +bare which is critical. Every .s;,o M even the shipment of food to l England, France and Italy, is giving .,v to the transportation of men.
 This is the net result of important conferences that have been going on in Washington and by cable for the last three days
 The allied authorities have come to .ho conclusion that the odds on the wostern front, so far as man power csn make them, are now almost even. Allied officers here make no secret of tbe fact that they have been surprised bv the German stamina in attack. More men and more guns were thrown into the German drive in picardy than the allies expected. More men and more guns came through that adventure to the present point than the allies early in the battle be- lieved possible, in view of the reck- less sacrifice made by the Germans. Full decision as to the details of American shipments has already been reached. They will be infantry. They will go with the minimum of equip ment. This will include their per sona equipment and machine guns. Artillery and other supplies will be waiting for them on the other side.
 The ships will be ready to carry them Every vessel in all the seven seas which by speed and internal ar engagements is suitable or can be made suitable quickly, will be waiting at an Atlantic port as soon as the men can be moved down to them.
 The fruition of this plan, which was planted when Lord Reading, the Brit ish ambassador, read the appeal of Lloyd George for men at dinner in New York a week ago, does not mean that the situation is more critical to- night than it was then.
 On the contrary, there is the solid air of confidence prevailing Washing ton and the allied embassies and mis- sOns tonight.

MAYORS PROCLAMATION

Whereas, the National Committee In charge of the sale of bonds of the third Liberty Loan has requested that on Saturday, April 6, 1918, all busi- ness houses be closed from one to three o'clock in the afternoon in order that the people may become better ac- quainted with the necessity for the sale and purchase of such bonds. and
 Whereas, feeling that such request IS reasonable one and should be complied with, and feeling that those who are permitted to remain at home should unhesitatingly make financial sacrifices that will in any degree as- sist those loyal Americans and allies who are offering their all upon the field of battle, that liberty shall not become merely memory.
 Now therefore l, Randolph P. Hamby, Mayor of the City of Prescott, Arkansas, do hereby, under and by virtue of the authority contained in orders of the National Committee of the Third Liberty Loan drive, order and direct that all business houses in the city of Prescott close at o'clock p. m. on April 6, 1918, and remain closed until o'clock p. m., to the end that all business men, their employees and other patriotic citizens may at tend and take part in ceremonies be- fitting the opening of the third Liberty Loan drive in Nevada county.

criticism of his opponent, charging him with a repudiation of the peoples wishes in leaving the governors of flee "to accept an election to the United States Senate at the hands of a legislature and refusing to allow the people an expression" He charg- ed that four Republican votes in the legislature of 1915 were accountable for the election of MT. Robinson as senator.
 Approaching closer to his listeners, he shouted, "I declare to you that l never have in my life, and l never expect to accept a political office that does not come from the people of the whole state.
 "They are devising ways and means to defeat me-" Mir. Brundidge declar- ed. ''but let me tell you that before the 2sth day of next May, this is go- ing to be- the busiest bunch of fellows in Arkansas. They cannot stem the high tide of public opinion that is sweeping Arkansas from center to circumference for a cleaner political regime. My confidence is unshaken, my friends are unshakable in their convictions that too many errors all ready exist in Arkansas, and the cause for this state of affairs is we'll established.
 Mir. Brundidge's closing remarks were confined largely to patriotic thoughts, assuring the gathering of his complete cooperation and sincere belief in the wisdom of President Will son to guide the destiny of America in the path of wisdom, justice and triumph.
 Visitors from practically every township in the county and from five adjoining counties attended the rally.

MIR. BRUD|DGE IS
 GIVEN RECEPTION
Two Thousand People Hear Him at Searcy--Business is Sus- pended From 2 to f D. m. for the Occasion.

Searcy, April 3.-An ovation, par ticipated in by more than 2,000 peo- pie from throughout White and ad- joining counties, was rendered Steph- en Brundidge, candidate for United States senator, here today. The event was planned by his admirers as a re- ception following the successful open ing of his campaign at Walnut Ridge and Russellville.
 All business was suspended from 2 to p. m. The occasion, which was merged into rousing patriotic dem onstration, following Mir. Brundidge's forceful speech. Faculty members and students of Galloway College and the Searcy High school attended the ex- ercises, marching to the court house lawn, headed by the Searcy Concert band. "The Star Spangled Banner" was sung by chorus of 300 voices before the address of introduction by President J. Nj. Williams of Galloway College, followed by the state song, Arkansas" and lusty college and school yells
 When MT. Brundidge appeared on the balcony of the court house, the throng which filled the streets and sidewalks on three sides of the build ing applauded for five minutes. MT. Brundidge never appeared in better form, and after reviewing his private and public life in White county for more than SO years, and expressing his devotion and love for the people who know him best, entered vigorous ly into a discussion of the issues of the campaign.
 "My friends" MT. Brundidge be- gan, my campaigns before the peo- pie of Arkansas in former years are we'll remembered by all of you, and though victory has not been ours, do not think that l have abandoned the fight. After two campaigns, first for United States senator and later for governor, I was brought face to face iwth the fact that it was too easy matter for the will of the people as expressed by their ballots to be thwarted through the manipulations of selfish, designing politicians. It was this fact that prompted me to submit to you the pure primary law, which was 50 overwhelmingly adopt ed, and declare to you here and now that the adoption of this law that will safeguard the sanctity of the ballot, accounts for my entry into the fight again."
 Mir. Brundidge was severe in his

GRAND LIBERTY LOAN
 PARADE TOMORROW
Opening Day of Third Liberty Loan Campaign Will be CeIe- brated in PrescOtt-Parade Will Form at 12:45.

Saturday, April 6, marks the open ing of the third Liberty Loan, and Nevada county will do her part.
 A big parade led by the Prescott band will form on the Gee corner on West Main street and march to the court house, where speeches will be made by Judge Carter of Texarkana, and Judge Steele of Ashdown.
 On an order issued by the Liberty Loan committee, which is acting on authority from the Treasury Depart ment, all places of business will be compelled to close their doors from one to three p. m., so that the crowd may be as large as possible. This order does not mean that committee will come to your store and ask you to close, for they will not but it does mean that the Treasury Department wants all business in the entire United States to hold up two hours Saturday, from one to three o'clock, to heln boost the loan. The local committee has instructions to take the names of all stores which do not close and re- port them to headquarters and to publish the same list of names in the local paper. If you are an American and have some red blood, close up; if you are against the cause which is costing so much life and bloodshed, stay open. You needn't tell it, the folks will know it. The mills and all manufacturing plants have agreed to close in time to let their employees get in the parade. And one o'clock doesn't mean a few minutes after one. Come a few minutes before and get lined up, as the parade will start at o'clock sharp.
 The order of formation for the parade will be: Soldiers and Sailors, Prescott Concert Band, civilians on too followed by automobiles and car riages.
 Every owner of an automobile is
 reed to have it in the parade. If vour wife or daughter can drive. get in the line and march. And don't close the door of your store and work your garden-come to the parade where you will be needed and where you will be expected.
 The parade will begin forming at 12;45. Be on time!
 Save, Serve and Sacrifice. Helr beat the kaiser!

CONSUMPTION

Louis F. Post, in an address before
the Association of Commerce in
Chicago, last Monday said:
"The time may come when we
will have to conscript the workers
in mines, forests and factories, but
in the name of democracy these
men should not be conscripted until
we have first conscripted the places
where they shall work. This de-
mocracy will not stand for the con-
scription of men to work for the
profits of other men. The con-
scripted men must work for Uncle
Sam and no one else"
If there had been enough democ-
racy in Congress that body would
not have considered the "work or
fight" amendment to the new draft
law without "tying a string" to
it, such as is suggested by Mr..
Post in his Chicago speech. From
