Free Mississippi
of Cattle Ticks

Jackson, Miss, May 25, DR..
J. A. Barger, state cattle tick in
spector. says that the records OF
dippings this spring make it evi-
dent that much was accomplish
ed during the year 1917 in per-
msnently eradicating the ticks
from Mississippi, Approximately
half of the counties beng free of
the pests.
During the month of April
there were 8O6, 377 dippings OF
cattle in the areas where it is
known that some few ticks re-
main; of this number only 48S
herds were infested with ticks,
against more than $4,000 tlck-ln-
tested herds for the correspond
ing month IN i9l7. The dipping
of cattle 10 prevent the spread
of ticks is progressing satlsfac-
torily, and there is but little
danger of ticks ever becoming a
menace to the cattle industry OF
the state in the future.
The open range law passed by
the recent Legislature, which is
effective August l of this year,
makes it a misdemeanor for
ticky cattle to run at large and
provides for such animals to be
taken up and placed in custody
of the sheriff This law offers
adequate protection to the cattle
owners who have eradlcated
their ticks and makes it incum-
bent upon the few who have fail
ed to complete the job to do Sc
before August l or place their
cattle where they will not be a
menace to others.

lover the Top
Goes the Red Gross

The great heart of the American people, pusing with
patriotism, throbbng with love for the soldiers and
with humanitarian Devotion has responded nobly to the
call of the Red Cross, 1.-The Greatest Mother in the
World"
Instead of the 800 900 900 asked for the country
has given $3.50, ,00OO 900.
Mississppis quota which originally $3.50, 900 and
made 5000 600 by request has up to 81, ,O00 O00
The magnitude of its oversubscripton will, in all
probability put Mississippi at the head of the honor roll
of the States.
Pearl River County asked to raise 81 $50, and it's
large hearted people have contributed nearly five times
that much, or than S8, 900.
In many instances there seemed to be real joy in
giving and the reflex Of it upon the hearts Of the donors
will be great compensation.
1t was great campaign and a wonderful response.

NANTUCKET. Mass, Aug 15.-The British steamer Penistone, victim of a submarine attack 100 miles east of Nantucket Sunday was sunk without warning. Benjamin Davies. executive officer of the ship, who arrived here with other survivors today, reported.
 A torpedo hit the vessel amidships, killing the fourth engineer and injur- ing four firemen. The captain of the PenistOne. who returned to his ship just before she went down, in the hope of obtaining papers, was captured by the U-boat and kept a prisoner Of war
 . The commander of the Penistone was Capt David Evans and the engi- neey killed by the explosion was C.. A. Vivor HOwells. The fact was definitely established by naval author ities, it was stated. that Captain " ans still was aboard the U-bOat. The Penistone left New York Friday with forty men, comprising officers and crew. Twenty-nine of these were landed today at ProvincetOwn. Nine were brought here, and with HOwells dead body the only man not accounted for was the commander

FIGHTING STILL UNINPORTANT IN
 IFS CHARACTER
Still Allies Have Gained Some Valuable Ground; Russian Situation Again Looming Large

UNDATED WAR LEAD, by the As sociated Press. The fighting on the Somme-Oise battle front still con tinues of a minor character compared with that of the early part of the wee-:, when the Germans reinforced their line and stopped the eastward sweep of the allied forces.
 Nevertheless the British and French again have been able to gain ground on two important sectOrs-the British a short distance northwest of Rove, where they took the villages of Dam cry and Parvillers, and the French on the southern wing of the battle front, where they have captured two farms in the process of clearing the hilly and wooded district around Las signy of the enemy.
 North of the SOmme between Albert and Arras the Germans are continu- ing to fall back and the British are keeping in close contact with them. Thus far the Germans have definitely given up the towns of Beaumont Hamel, Serre, BucquOy and Puisieux- Au-Mont, and at several points have crossed the Ancre river, with the Bri- tish following closely on their trail. No official explanation has yet been advanced on the retrograde movement of the Germans over this front, but it is not at all unlikely that the ope- rations on the SOmme front and the harassing tactics the British recently have employed made the enemy desiT- ous of establishing himself on new ground eastward, with the Ancre river a barrier between him and his foes. At any rate, the Hebuterne salient has virtually been obliterated by the re- tirement of the Germans and seem ingly they now will be compelled to make a readjustment of their line be- tween the Somme and Arras.
 In the week of fighting on the Picardy front, 30,244 prisoners have fallen into the hands of the British fourth and the French first army. ac- cording to an official announcement Of this number the British captured 21,S44 Unofficial reports, probably compiled since the official date was sent from the front give the number of prisoners in the allies hands since August as 34.OOO and say also that 670 captured guns thus far have been counted.
 The situation in Russia again is looming large. Soviet leaders having fled from Moscow, the bOlshevik cap ital to Kronstadt, the soviet troops now are declared to have begun the evacuation of Moscow. American troops have begun to disembark at Vladivostok to aid the Czecho-Slovak army in its campaign in Siberia, an allied force is chasing the enemy more than a hundred miles south of Arch angel on the railroad; further allied troops have made landing southwest of Archangel and are endeavOring to cut off the retreat of the soviets. while British troops have arrived at Balku, in the Caucasus on the Caspian sea, to assist the Armenians in defend ing this important seaport against the Turks, to whom it was given by the Brest-Litovsk treaty in the attempt made by the Teutonic allies to dis mem Russia. Thus it will be seen that allied forces now are operating joint ly on three important sections of Russian territory-On the north with

GREAT PRECAUTIONS TAKEN TN ENSURE PERFECT REST AND OPPORTUNITY FOR EXECUTIVE TO CONFER WITH COLONEL HOUSE FOR A FEW DAYS

MANCHESTER, Mass, Aug. 15. - President and Mrs. Wilson came here today for a few days rest in the seclu- sion of a colonial mansion on the pie turesque North shore Visits were in terchanged with Col F.

 So keen was the desire of the presi- dent for seclusion that he and Mrs Wilson took up temporary housekeep- ing by themselves in a recently vacat- ed summer residence with servants left behind by the previous occupants.

Rv RerIew Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-Four mil. lion American soldiers can defeat the German army m the belief Of Gen eral March, chief Of staff, and present plans of the war department call for more than that number under. arms next summer with some 3,2oo,000 of them, or eighty divisions, in France by June 30.
 These and other important facts concerning the nations effort in the war as given to the senate military committee by General March, Seere- tary Baker and Provost Marshall Gen eral crowder, were revealed today by Chairman Chamberlain in present ing to the senate the administration man power bill extending the draft ages to incluo's all men between the ages of IS and 45 years.
 President Wilson is determined to bring the war to a conclusion by con centrating all forces on the western front, including Italy, Secratary Baker told them General March supple mented this by stating that it was the purpose to end the great world strug- gle quickly and decisively. For the nation not to put forth its maximum effort at once, the chief of staff de- clared, would be but playing Ger many's game' Thirty-one American divisions, or approximately 1900, 200 men are in France with as many more in camps in this country as a reservoir. Secretary Baker said that the accele- rated program of troop movements overseas which nas enabled General Pershing to organize his first army of some ,250.000 men will be continued becarse of the generous action of the British government in supplying ship ping.
 To carry out the present DOT
 gram Of eighty divisions overseas
 by June 90, nearly 2,00O,OO0 men
 must be sent to France in the
 next eleven months.
 General March told the commit
 tee, according to the report to the
 senate that he was in Favor of
 young men for the army and that
 the youths of IS registered under
 the new draft law would be in
 France by June 30. He estimated
 that some 2,30O,O00 men qualified
 for full military service would be
 secured from the new resistrants
