THE eALIcIAN JEWISH PROBLEM.

According to the "Judische Presse,"
DR.. v. LIGHT, member of the Reicharat,
addressed his constituents in Mahr-Os-
trau in the previous week, and dealing
with the Polish question, said that the
so-called Austro-Polish solution, the union
of Galicia with Poland in state joined to
Austria-Hungary by single monarchy,
was not so simple as it appeared on
paper Not only were the Ruthenians
and the German minority to be consid-
cred, but it would be impossible in the
new kingdom to override the rights of
millions of Jews as was being done now
in Galicia in the area of Polish DONNA
tion and as was formerly the case in
Poland.

ARKANSAS WANTS
 A CLEANED STATE
Governor Brough Invites All Deiin- quents to Report to Exception Boards by September 3O--No
 Penalties for Any Such.

With the view of removing the stigma from the escutcheon of Ar kanas due to slackers and delinquents, Governor Brough has designated Sep tember 30 as the time for final cleans ing.
 In an official proclamation the state executive says Arkansas has 4,921 classed as delinquents by the county exemption boards.
 Of this number Polk county is ac- credited with B, two slaekers and il delinquents. Of this small number it is believed a majority are delinquents thru failure to understand the full provisions of the draft law. The Polk county board will follow the govern or's suggestions for dealing gently with those who surrender during the present month
 Since it's inception the local board has had a total of 1,245 registrants, and the small showing of delinquents is gratifying.
 Governor Brough issued the procla- nation upon the authority of Presi- dent Wilson, who has authorized a call of all delinquents in Arkansas who had, thru either ignorance or negligence, tailed to present them selves to their local boards for the purpose of executing their question naires or undergo their physical examination.

High speed in war Taelics.

There is no information of an off. cial character as to General Persh. ing's present operations. The great est reticence apparently is being en- forced on press correspondents in dis cussing the tactical disposition of the American army at this time and to observers here this suggests that preparations for a new advance are well under way, The logical objective, it ia said, would be the occupation of the Briey iron fields and an effort to eucircle Metz from the west If Gen eral Pershing is moving toward that goal now, it is said, joint attack by his army and the French army hold ing the Verdun front would be a probable development Such an ac- tion would be over very extended front, however, and some further re connassance of the enemy's positions on the immediate American front may be necessary before it can be un- dertaken.
 Tactics employed by General Persh- ing in clearing up the St. Mihiel sali- ent in the view of officers here, show that the American commander has determined that maximum speed is essential to military success

Washington, Sept. 16-The Ameri- can offensive at their very doors and stories of a long range gun about to be turned loose upon their towns is giving the war new aspect to the Germans. An official dispatch from France says there are evidences of ex- citement everywhere across the Ger man border and quotes the following from the Mulhausen Tageblatt:
 "The American offensive in upper Alsace and the long range gun sup posed to be intended to reduce to ashes the towns of this country is madly alarming the inhabitants. Even people of a high rank tremble at the news like little children listening to ghost stories. Of course the evacua- tion of MulhauseA and the whole of Alsace is again in question and it is said that all measures for the actual evacuation of the grand duchy from Baden to Friburg have already been taken"

May Quit Hindenburg Line.

With American Army in France, Sept 16.--Notwithstanding the evil dence that much time has been spent in improving the old Hindenburg line, it would not surprise military critics here if it were yielded without great struggle, the Germans preferring to sacrifice even their old position to the obvious determination of the Ameri cans to advance beyond the line. Fires were observed in Dommartin-La- Chaussee today. In almost every case where evacuation has been planned, the Germans have carried out sys- tematic destruction of certain parts of their stores and with them wooden buildings and barracks.

The point of the expected attack is a mat ter of wide speculation. Several sim ultaneous attacks will be delivered. it is thought, with the Flanders front, the French operations about Le Fere directed at Laon and the new Ameri- can front across the mouth of the old St. Mihiel salient, as the logical posi-. tions from which Marshal F'pch would strike.

AMERICANS TAKE
 HUN FIRST LINE
Pershing's Men in Smashing Attack Drive Germans Back on Eight Mile Front--May Be on
 Road to Berlin.

l Paris, Sept. 12.--The Tanks are closer to Berlin tonight.
 Under the personal supervision of General Pershing, distinctly Amer ican offensive of major character was begun against the Hun.
 American forces in the course of the last twenty-four hours have ac- comphshed series of bold strokes in Lorraine and in the Vosges. Amer ican attachments made a surprise at tack on the German positions at many points and penetrated the enemy lines at some places, meeting with but feeble resistance.
 With American Army on the Lor- raine Front, Sept 12 The Americans in their drive reached the first obiec- tives at some points an hour ahead of scheduled time. Seven hundred prisoners have already been taken.
 Having in some places reached the German support lines, the Americans. in accordance with orders they had received, retired. They destroyed all the material they were unable to car " away and blew up the machine gun shelter concrete biockhouses and mu- nitions depots. German heavy shells reached isolated points but tardily and inefficiently
 The Americans in the course of these operations inflicted heavy losses on the enemy. On the whole of this front there was a sustained recipro- cal bombardment.
 Paris Sept 21-The big American offensive which began at daybreak today between the Mouse and Moselle rivers was conducted under General Pershing's personal supervision and was executed under orders of Ameri- can officers with American soldiers. This was the first distinctly American operation of major character launch- ed on the western front.
 Take Hun First Line.
 American Forces on the Lorraine Front, Sept 12-American forces this morning launched an attack on the German positions At o'clock they had progressed generally along the line Some prisoners were taken at different parts of the sector.
 The first wave of American troops met with little resistance and at 8 o'clock the second American wave was in possession of several points of the German first fine.
 The Germans now are falling back on the fronts on each side of the St. Mihiel salient
 Though undoubtedly suspicious of the intentions of the Americans in this region, the Germans were una ware at the time of the direction of the attack
 The American troops are all in- tensely eager and fighting magnifi- gently.
