ARK. WEATHER AND CROPS.
In Most of State Drouth Is Doing
 Great Damage to All Crops.

Little Rock, July 31.--Hot, dry weather during the past week was very injurious to crops in large portion of the state and all crops were injured to some extent except in the northern portion and in few central, southwestern and southeast ern counties where the moisture was sufficient. Cotton is in good to ex- cellent condition in the northern por- tion; but is beginning to shed in central and southern portions except in favored localities, the drouth do- ing most damage in the southeast. Very little damage by boil weevil was reported. Early corn is about mature in southern portions, nearly mature in central portions and well along in northern, the hot weather causing it to mature rapidly and re- dneing the yield decidedly, the crop being almost ruined in some locali- ties. Late corn deteriorated except Tn the north, central and northeast ern portions where it is still in good condition. Rice is good where wat cred; but the drouth interferes with irrigation. Meadows, pastures and truck were nearly ruined and sweet potatoes, melons, canteloupes, peas and sorghum were badly injured ex- cept in the more favorable localities. Late potatoes are being planted in few localities but most farmers are waiting for rain. Peaches are being shipped from Pike county, and there are peaches for home use in a nun Der of places in the southern half of the state; but none of consequence in the northen half.

Yanks Fight Without Cover.

London, July S1.-The Daily Mails correspondent with the American army on the Aisne- Marne front, tele- graphing Monday night, emphasizes The severity of the fighting in the Sergy-Seringes section. He says the Prussian Guards suffered severely in repeated attacks against the Ameri- cans who piled up enemy corpses at their front.
 The correspondent says that for some time Monday, the Germans dominated positions on the heights beyond Sergy, the Americans being in the valley. It was here that the fighting Monday afternon was most intense. The Americans had no COW CT and were obliged to lie in street gutters for shelter, but with bayonet and machine guns, they stormed the heights.
 "Sergy changed hands nine times, the correspondent continues, but to- night it is in American hands.
 "The Americans found their wounded in Sergy had been bayon- cited. The Germans placed machine guns in the church and also in the Red Cross buildings"

DECISIVE BLOW IS

German High Command Evidently Preparing People to Accept De feat--Avoid Mentioning
 Americans.

Washington, July 31.--OAieial dis patches today from France tell how the German high command has caused to be published thrrout Ger many a statement preparing the peo- ple to accept the defeat in the sec oad battle of tho Marne.
 After several days of desperate attempts to attenuate the gravity of the defeat of the German arms" ," hc dispatches, ''Hindenburg and Lud- endcrlf have decided to make a full confession.
 "Ilindenburg's defense renews the promiset a decisive blow agains the Anglo-French front, but says the physiognomy which the struggle pre- sents on the front between Soissons and Rheims and the Champagne, in consequence of the German attacks and the Franco British counter-at- tacks, tone must note here with what care the American intervention is omitted) has led to the necessity of postponing for some time the decis- sive blow.
 With this end in view new bases for subsequent operations, proceed ings for deplacements and strategical re-groupings' have to be created Whilst awaiting until preparations for future operations be completed they have been forced to retire ir the northern direction of the Marne front
 How far will this retirement be carried out? A retreat of about g dozen kilometers will perhaps be sui ficient. r. is not thought necessary today tl...s Hindenburg should find himself under the obligation of with. drawing the front as far back as the Vesle.'

TEe 0npresaed ukrainians.

General Herman von Eichhorn, the German military dictator of Ukraine, had a brilliant career in the armies of the German emperor. He played an important role in the development of the German military machine and was one of the first commanding generals to use the telephone in di- recting operations of troops in the field. He demonstrated the practibil- ity of the telephone during the Prus- sian army maneuvers in September, 1905.
 When the great war broke out he was assigned to the Russian front He commanded the German army which captured the Russian strong hold of Kuvno, in August, 1915. He continued to direct operations in southern Poland until Russia's col lapse.
 Tn April, 1918, he was sent to Uk- raine by Germany Upon his arrival he placed the whole republic under German martial law and arrested members of the ministry who, he said, were conspiring against the central powers. This was followed by a request to Berlin for the Uk- rainian rada that he be recalled, but he was retained in Ukraine as vir- tual dictator.
 He brought about the overthrow of the Ukrainian government in May and succeeded in placing inauthori- ty General Skepropadski, who since has bee noperating virtually under the orders of General von Eichhorn.

TANKS SET TRAP, CAUGHT THE HUNS
Made Pretense of Yacuating Ser inges. Then Closed in and Killed or Captured Every Man-Keep
 Pressure on Enemy.

With the American Army on the Aisne-Marne Front, July 31.-Ef- forts made by the Germans to ad- vance their lines against the Ameri- cans on this front last night and this forenoon were fruitless. The Ameri- cans, for their part were content to hold their positions along their slightly advanced line for the time. The German line, however. is re- ported gradually giving away both to the right and left.
 There was hard fighting turnout the night, but no concentrated attack in force by either side.
 Tanks Trapped Huns.
 During the night the Americans made a pretense of retiring from a part of the town of Seringes. The Germans advanced into the town, on observing the supposed evacuation. Two companies of Americans then closed in and enveloped the German force, killing or capturing every man of it.
 Both high explosive and gas shells were sprayed by the Germans over a wide area.
 The air forces on both sides were busy this morning. One Of the American observers was attacked by eight enemy machines, but escaped and returned to his base.
 Paris. July 81-American troops maintained their position in the re- zion of Serignes-E -Nesles, which they carried after violent fighting, according to an official statement from the war office today.
 The Germans made four attacks against the new French positions east of 0ulchy-Le-Chateau. They were repulsed and the French line was held intact.
 The French and Germans carried out raids at number of other points on sectors east and west of the Marne salient, but there was no change in the general situation at these points.

Allied Gains Important.

London, July 31.-Altho the allied gains during the last A hours may seem small, some of them have been exceedingly significant, telegraphs Reuters correspondent at the Ameri- can front in France. The chief fea- ture of the recent fighting, he says, is the French advance from Oulchy- Le-Chateau, which carried the vil- lage of Grand Rozoy and Chuguy and swept the Germans off the butte of Chalmont. This hill was center of enemy resistance along the west ern side of the salient.
 Germans guns situated on the butte of Chalmont had been able to rake the Soissons- Chateau Thierry road almost as far as Villemontorie and hurl a cross-fre upon the ad- vancing French and American troops in the valley of the Ourcq. The French now are able to harass from this hill the enemy's retirement and should be able to clear the angle be- tween the Soissons-C Chateau Thierry road and the railroad between Oul- chy-Le-Chateau and Fismes and bring much-needed assistance to the Americans in the village of Seringes.
 It will be a costly task to take the Nesles forest but there are alterna- tive possibilities in the comparative ly open ground to the westward. The railroad, which is the key to the Ocrcq valley, is in allied hands. The correspondent writes:
 Huns Enormous Losses.
 "The enemy may certainly plume himself on his retirement according to plan, but it can scarcely be &C., cording to plan that he left hun dreds of tons of ammunition behind him. There is yet ise conception of the enormous figures to which these losses in material of war will run.

WOMEN TORTUREDl
Suffer Terribly With Corns Because of High Heels, but Why
 C0~o No.-


 Women wear high heels which buckle up their toes and they suffer terribly from these pests, seeking re- lief but they hardly realize the ter- rible danger from infection, says a Cincinnati authority.
 Corns can easily be lifted out with the fingers if you will get from any drug store a quarter of an ounce ia drug called freezone. This is sufficient to remove every hard or soft corn or callus from ones feet. You simply apply few drops directly upon the tender, aching corn or eallus. The soreness is relieved at once and soon the entire corn or callus, root and all, lifts out without one particle of pain.
 This freezone is a sticky substance which dries in a moment. It just shrivels up the corn without infiam- ing or even irritating the surround ing tissue or skin. Tell your wife about this, Adv.

Sensations of an Airplane
Man Detailed as to Thrills
Experienced at Dizzy Height

The trials for my military brevet
were fer the most interesting thing I
have done in aviation. On finishing
the 60-horse power Bleriot class, / was
told that | would have to do my brevet
work on a small Cauldron biplane, as
there were no Bleriots available, writes
Nordhoff in Atlantic Monthly.
OFF she went with a roar, all ten cyl
inders firing perfectly, so / motioned
the mechanic to pull out the blocks
from before the wheels. A quick rush
and a turn headed me into the wind,
and the next moment the starters arm
shot forward.
Old 28S7 is a bully bus. I was of
the ground and heading up In forty
yards. 1t was rather an occasion for
a beginner who had never before flown
yer $500 feet. The little Cauldrons, Of
course, are not high-powered, but she
climbed splendidly. In ten minutes I
was circling over the camps at $500
feet and In twenty I had reached 5000,
just under the roof Of the clouds. There
was only n blue hole through, so up
this funnel l climbed in decreasing cir.

gorgeous upper sunlight.
AT 5000 feet I began to float about
In a world of utter celestial loneliness
dazzling pure sun, like the water OF
a coral atoll, and beneath me a billowy
sea of clouds, stretching away to In.
inity. Here and there, from the
cloudy prairies great fantastic noun
tain ranges reared themselves; foot
hills and long divides, vast snowy
peaks, impalpable sisters Of Orizabs
or Chimborazo, and deep gorges, eve
narrowing, widening or deepening
across whose shadowy depths drove
ribbons of thin gray mist.
Once, as / was sailing over a broad
canyon, I saw far off In the south O
