States It Is Necessary War Measure-Not Pulaski County IfopOSlton-But for Entire State--DSctSscS War
 Situation in General

governor Brough in his plea for the establishment of Girls Industrial ochool and Women's Reformatorv. 'dlscussed the war situation in general slatln2 that the campaign which is belng Waged turnout Arkansas for the ealaallshment of these institutions was regarded by President Wilson as necessary war measure
 Dependent and delinuuent girls and women flock to the various canton- ment cities, and Camp Pike is no ex- ceptlon to the rule. The Poison Cllnlc has taken care of 129 of these women and girls since February. but the space and facilities are entirely inadequate
 The establishment of these institu- tlons, which will be taken over by the Staate when next General Assembly meets, should not be regarded as a Little Rock or Pulaski County prop oslton, because 90 per cent of these women and girls to be handled come from other counties than Pulaski
 It is proposed to raise $1O0,0OO thru out Arkansas during the first week of september, to be supplemented by S5O,- oo0 from President Wilson's special war fund. The President, through his specral representative, Mrs. Falconer mas agretd to give $10,000 as soon as Slo,000 is raised in the state. and will supplement- state contributions up to Soo,000. County men and women chaalrmen vii lhave this matter in charge ln every county in the state, and the campaign will be conducted on similar lines as Liberty loans, Red Cross, and War Saving Certifi- chtes drives Jefferson County has not been thoroughly organized as yet, but chairman will be designated by Governor Brough at once.
 COmplimented Pine Ruff.
 In his inspiring patriotic address, which was heard by an immense con- course of people in front of the court hause, Governor Brough compliment cd Pine Bluff upon her patriotism, her magnificent Home Guard organiza- ton, her great work in food conserva- tive upon the six splendid boys who have just received commissions from the Fourth Officers Training Camp and others heretofore commissioned.

 A Long War.
 He warned the people to look for ward to long. hard war. which, he stated, conservaatively, could not be ended decisively until the summer or fall of 1921. Thert would be at least two years of reconstruction work to be done, in order to rehabilitate the smaller nations now under German vassalage.
 While the brilliant counter offen- sive of Foch has resulted in the cap- ture of over 100000 prisoners, HOO guns, and approximately 400 square miles of territory to depth of 30 miles, and while the morale and spirit of the German army has been

WEAR AND TEAR OF
 BUSINESS CONSIDERED
 IN REVENUE MEASURE

Washington, Aug. M.-Wear and tear of business and depletion of such enterprises as oil and gas wells are given consideration in the new war revenue bill
 It was learned today that the house ways and means committee has writ ten in provision for allowances Tn computing net incomes of corpora tions, individuals and partnerships.
 In the case of oil and gas wells a reasonable allowances for actual re- duction in flow and production is authorized.
 This would be based not on the eX- traordinary flow of oil or gas from these wells, but on the normal regu- lar allowance is authorized for de- preciation of improvements.
 In buildings. machinery, equipment or other facilities used on government contract work, reduction is to be per mitted for amortization.
 All these allowances are to be deter mined upon by the treasury depart ment, according to the peculiar condi- tions with respect to each property.
 Where there are leases involved, the deductions authorized in the bill are to be equitably apportioned between lesser and lessee.

tended along the railway toward Cam 'brai.
 'MaricOurt and the ground to the east of it are well in British hands.
 Tronse station and wood and the ground to the east, which is valuable because it is high, were captured as well as Moulin-D -De-Fargy. on the Som- me riverbank which was in the British front lines at the opeing fthe first battle of the Somme.
 VauX wood also was occupied and was held firmly.
 After an all night fight VancourI tower and town, south of the Scarpe, were tken and the importnt Heninel ridge, as well as Henienel village also were captured.
 The barrage laid down north of the Somme today was as heavy as any since the battle began, but the enemy counter barrage was so thin as hardly to deserve the name.
 Try to Save Guns.
 Obviously the Germans are trying despite this, they lost considerable number today.
 On small British formation alone NttplulCu LWo COulDlClc t( field batteries since yesterday.
 The capture of these light batter ies is very significant.
 The Germans ran for their lives when the British suddenly appeared close to them Nnd did not even make an effort to save their guns.
 The enemy machine gunners have shown similAk spirit their principle aim apparently now being to save themselves, if that is possible. Ger man soldiers also have begun to eX- hibit the greatest contempt for their own officers and are carrying their feelings right. into the prisoners cage.
 Jeer Their Own Officers.
 In number of cages, into which thousands are pouring, the German soldiers have gone out of their way to be extremely insolent to their off cers, jeering at them and loudly pro- claiming their views in no uncertain manner.
 Going to such lengths would un- doubtedly result in courts martial and firing squads in Germany, and it is gathered from the prisoners that they go as far as they dare even on their side of the line.
 All prisoners, men and officers, eX- pres their longing for peace by agree ment.
 Division Meets Disaster.
 The German 214th division is the latest to meet the disaster.
 One of it's battalion commanders his adjutant and with what remain ed of the staff were captured, while the unit itself was virtually wiped out.
 The Canadians in their operations yesterday south of the Scarpe took more than 2,000 prisoners and they continue their work of capturing large numbers today.
 From present intentions, it seems that at least on the southern end of the battle field the boche is slowly, but surely, going back over the Som-

 ''It is correct that only recently the great advocates of force were able to make much noise and even the pro- rressive party was carried away by the fiery eloquence of Herr Muller of Meingenen who made few false steps into the camp >of the annexa- tions."

 "The Vossiche Zeitung of Berlin asks:
 "Where is that peaceful spirit of President Wilson who once declared there must be neither conouerors nor conquered?' .
 The Vossische Zeituung declares it always knew that England's war aims is the political and economical sub- legation of Germany
 The newspapers adds: "And if now after the sacrifices in men and money made by England and the United States the outcome fthe war is tc be profitable for them it means that peace must bring not only the com plete powerlessness of the German empire, but also, if possible that of all Europe, as the proper reward ot the Anglo-Saxon nations"
