REFRAIN FROM MOB RULE,
 SAYS FEDERAL JUDGE
Judge Frank A. Youmans Lays Stress on President Wilson's Recent
 Appeal.

From the Fort Smith Times-Record.
 We are fighting Germany because she violated the international law and we must retain our standing as law abiding citizens and must not give ground for the accusation that in the administration of our home affairs we countenance violence" Judge Frank A. Youmans toldthe grand jury when United States court of the Fort Smith district convened in adjourned term Monday. Judge Youmans was charg- ing the jury on points in connection with the selective service act and told them if was no patriot who violated the law.
 Judge Youmans laid stress on Pres ident Wilson's recent appeal to Amer jeans to refrain from mob violence. He related several instances that had come to his attention wherein per- sons had been assaulted or had mar rowly escaped assault for pro-Ger- manism when later investigations showed conclusively there were no grounds for the charges.

Give 'Em He'll. Boys" Shouted Brit
 ish Officer Prisoners.

London, Sept. 3.-A Daily Express dispatch from Geneva says French officer, who escaped from Mannheim during the panic caused by the last British night air raid, arrived here Sunday He says while their guardi- ans fled for shelter British officer prisoners who were sent to Mann helm by the Germans as a reprisal for the air raids all turned out and cheered the air men and shouted, "Give them hell. boys; don't mind us" French and Belgian officers shouted. "Vivi Anglterre The air men, whose faces were plainly visible in the rays of the searchlights, seemed to understand. because not single bomb was dropped in camp.
 1t is reported from Kruzlingen that bombs practically destroyed bv poison gas the suburbs of Mannheim, and the wind blew the fumes over the eastern portion of the town, gassing seventy-eight persons. who are now in hospital thereby making the peo- pie realize for perhaps the first tiias the vile methods introduced by the Germans at the front.

U. s. RECOGNIZES CzECHO SLOVAKS
Joins Great Britain, France and Italy in Declaring Them an Independent Nation, With Boundaries Es-
 tablished--Ancient People.

Washington, Sept. 9.-The United States has recognized the Czecho- Slovak peoples as co-belligerent na- tion in the war against Germany and Austria Hungary. Formal announce ment was made today by Secretary of State Lansing.
 Great Britain, France and Italy have recognized the Czccho- -Slovaks. The headquarters of the nation are at present in Paris, but it's territorial boundaries include Bohemia, Moravia and portion of Galacia, all now un- der Austrian domination.
 Czechs an Ancient Race.
 The Czecho-Slovaks are two divis- ions of race now estimated to num- Der about Si5 million people. They lived in southern central Europe long before the advent of Christianity and. in spite of generations of subjugation, have successfully resisted Germani- zatlon. Prague, their chief city, still is distinctly Czech and the national feeling has remained strong turnout the original territory, to be famed into flame by the hopes aroused by the war.
 The chief armies of the nation are the forces which were fighting with the Russians and, refusing to disband when the Russians fell to pieces, they made their way into Siberia, hoping to reach France and take their place on the western front. Attacks by the Bolsheyiki, leading former Austrian and German prisoners, turned the Czecho- -Slovaks into a fighting force around which loyal Russians might rally.
 Tremendous political significance is attached in diplomatic quarters to to- days action by the United States. It means that America, with the allies, will go into the peace conference rec ognizing as an independent nation and ally, large section of the pres ent Austro- Hungarian empire.

USING UP BEST OF
 CERNANY'S ARMY
In Fight With French North of Sois- sons the Field Was Strewn With Dead Prussian Guards, Who
 Attacked Five Times.

With the French Armies in the Field, Sept. 2-The battle for the plateau north of Soissons has used up some of the best divisions remaining in the German army. Yesterdays fighting between Crecy-Au-Mont and Leuilly and between Juvigny and Tor ny was particularly severe.
 This was evidenced this morning by the field being strewn with the dead of the Prussian Guards. They are piled one on top of the other in some trenches and long lines of them show where the guards counter attacked five times in vain effort to stem the tide of the battle which was running relentlessly against them
 Each one of these efforts added largely to the losses of the Prussians in wounded as we'll as in dead, while after each rush lot more of un- wounded prisoners remained in the hands of the French. More than 1000 Germans were sent to the rear in the course of the battle.
 Both tanks and air squadrons con tributed to the rout of the guards Aviators flying low over the field met the attacking forces with a gall ing machine gun fire and pursued thu shattered lines as they retired befor' the unfiinching French troops. Tanks drove into the enemy's linei machine gunning and shelling the as saulting waves and opening big gaps in the German lines.
 South of Lcuilly. French mounted troops crossed the ravine of Fontaine St. Reny and took the St. Remy Her mitage, giving the French solid hold on the plateau leading to Laffaux and the road leading from the Hermitage to Terny- Sorny.
 On the left of the line of attack the French troops, widening their bridgehead north of the Ailette, took the wood just west of Coucy-Le-C Cha teau and gained footing in the woods west of the Nogent mill, which borders the road from Chauny to Terny- -Sorny. These successes make serious inroads upon the line of de- fense east of the Ailette and on the plateau that the German troops were ordered to hold at any cost. The first line of the defense of the pleateu now is entirely in French hands and big breaches have been made in the sec- ond line
 Soissons gets more elbow room as a result of these operations, and the river Ailette, with it's formidable de- fensive works. is entirely held by General Mangin as far south as the Chaunv-Terny- -Sorny road, while the south bank is dominated to the re- gi)n north of Vauxaillon.
 The French now are only five miles from the line they held before the German advance across the Chemin- Des Danes. and the enemy has only q narrow margin of fighting ground between his present lines and the Hindenburg position along the edge of the forest of St. Gobain.

GROWN PRINCE HAS A CROUCH
Said to Have Opposed Last German
 Offensive. Now on Vacation.

Washington, Sept 3.--Dispatches from Switzerland say Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria is in complete disagreement with General Luden- dorff. The crown prince, it is said, opposed the last German offensive, holding that the Germans neither had the means nor the strategic positions to be successful. He wished to retire but the German commander feared the discontent that this step would awake in Bavaria.
 It is suggested that this situation may explain why the crown prince has gone home on long vacation.

BRITISH HIT HUNS
 IN TENDER SPOT
Penetrate Drocourt-Queant Switch of the Hindenburg Line on a Two Mile Front-Australians Ter
 rorize German Opponents.

London, Sept. 2.-The British have penetrated the vitally important Dro- court Queant switch of the Hinden- burg line, on a two-mile front, accord ing to reports from the battle front this afternoon. They have reached the western edge of Carricourt, about two miles northeast of Queant
 A large number of prisoners were taken in this forward push against extremely stubborn enemy resistance The Germans had seven divisions massed on front of five miles in this area.
 Le Transloy, the important point in the line between Bapaume and Pc- rome, where the Germans have been holding stubbornly, is considered by the British today as virtually in their hands. They have captured the vil- lage of Viltre- Au-Flos, to the north, and Le Transloy now is outfanked on both sides.
 The capture of Noreuil, northeast of Bapaume, was reported this morn ing.
 Between 5000 and 1000 prisoners were taken by the Australians in the vicinity of Peronne yesterday.
 The Hug of the Battle.
 London, Sept. 2sa-The core of the whole battle now is between the Scarpe river and Bapaume, and it is here that the Germans are really fighting, according to the Daily Mails correspondent at British headquarters in France. In this sector the Germans, says the correspondent, are fighting we'll to keep the allies off their great line of defense that winds along the most favorable ridges from St. Quen- tin to Drocourts
 Terror Seized Huns.
 London, Sept. 2.-The Australians who captured Mont St. Quentin, with l 1,500 prisoners and thereby made the fall of Peronne inevitable, accomplish ed the feat within an hour, and with a loss to themselves of only 25 men, ac- cording to the Daily Mails corre- spondent at British headquarters in France
 The correspondtnt says that the better part of three German divisions erumbled to pieces before one Au- stralian unit. The Germans appeared to have felt some sort of nameless ter TOT similar to that which sometimes takes possession of troops fighting against Indians in their native haunts.
 The capture of Peronne, according to the correspondent, should turn the enemy's present line and hasten his retirement. He now has in his south ern quarter only one good position to hold before he reaches the linden burg line from St. Quentin northward.
