Remainder Are Guarding

Paris.-The Echo de Paris, referring
to the distribution Of enemy forces
on the different fronts, says:
"On the Franco-British front there
have been for several months past 152
German divisions, Of which 81 were
opposed by the British and the remain
der by the French. Following the re-
cent British offensive at Cambria, this
proportion was modified. There are
now exactly 154 divisions on the
Franco-British front, each comprising
about $3.50 bayOnets, and including
artillery, engineers, etc., or about r.
600 men in all, thus giving about g.
100000 German combatants on the
Franco-British front.
"In view Of the uncertainty Of what
Russian anarchy has in store for them,
the Germans have left about million
men on the Russo-Roumanla front. AS
a matter of fact, the movements eff
fected have resulted not In a diminu-
ton Of the number of fighting units
on this front, but In their quality.
"On the italian front Germany has
sent to the assistance Of the DO Aus
TRAN divisions only seven divisions, or
about 100000 men.
"On the Balkan front she has sent
only 10000 combatants to re-einforce
the Turks and Bulgarians. In Asia
Germany has restricted her help to
furnishing general STATS.
Consequently Germany, whose total
strength is 5,5O0O0O men, has on the
various fronts 100000 men, the re-
mainder being required for guarding
the Swiss and Dutch frontiers and for
the occupation of, the invaded terri

The Hague.-The great "kaiser's

OlLlNG WILL COME.

Almost half of the towns of eastern Arkansas have made appropriations, which with subscriptions added, have caused their streets to be oiled, and therefore the dust question is ans wered, and the upkeep of the streets is made at much cheaper price.
 Oiled streets. and oiled highways, are a certainty in the near future. The oiled city streets of course will come first because there will be money in the city available for this. before 1t Is available in the country.
 The benefits from a proper appli- cation of crude oil to the roads is double. The oil saves the people travelling and the people residing on road or street from being overwhelm- ed in dust, and the oiling saves the road or highway because it is that continual whipping of the dust from the roadway that finally wears the road out so that 1t needs repair
 We tried the oiling system on some of our streets some time ago, but the work was not properly done, and the result was not satisfactory. The sys- tenn, however, is a success. and oilins will be one of the necessary upkeeps of roads and streets in the not dis tant future.
