CHECKMATEO BY
 ALLIED sTRATECY.
Grown Princes Drive On Western Front Given Up Without Serious
 ly Affecting the Situation.
Press Dispatch.

Associated Press Dispatch.
 New York, June 15-Checkmated by allied strategy and tenacity, the German crown prince has given up the second offensive within the month without either affecting se- riously the general situation on the western front.
 Except artillery duels Hull pre- vails but a new enemy assault is ex- pected soon. Artillery fire is above normal south of Somne and between the Aisne and Marne, but no indica- tions that Germans have prepared to renew their offensive in either sec tor. Instead the military observers expect the heaviest blow yet, to come soon on the Picardy field, with the enemy again attempting to separate the British and French and reach the coast. Berlin claims the capture of 1,O50 guns since May 27th. In the latest offensive the enemy gained 18O square miles, captured 15,000 prisoners and 150 guns, the poorest showing of any of the four major movements since March 21.
 The American infantry is inactive but ayiators on the Tool front are busy. Two successive bombing raids were made on the towns behind the German lines. Italians have checked German lines.
 Italians have checked strong ene- my attempts to force passage through Tonale Pass, northwest of Trent.

FLAG DAY EXER,s
 C|sEs | sUCCE,]
Speaker Waldrip's Address Was One of Best Features of Occasion--
 Entire Program Enjoyed.

A spirit of patriotism, never before so plainly noted in Newport, was manifested at the Flag Day exercises at the Grand Theatre Friday after. noon.
 The program was opend by the singing of Columbia, the Gem of The Ocean,, which was sung by cosx tuned men and women, wearing es- pecially designed apparel to suit the part represented. Mrs. Adam Loclx- ard, represented Columbia, Emmett Taylor, was fine looking Uncle Sam, Walter Sailing soldier, James Da- wis sailor, and Mrs. Billingsley and Miss Elise Hooker, the American Red Cross. A more beautiful sight than this, with the beloved stars md stripes waving over them, has never before greeted the eyes of a Newport audience. X
 The Elks marched to The Grand in body, having formed in line at the Club home, and occupied places 01k honor in the building. The introduce tory exercises and ritual were read by the exalted ruler, Fred R. Suits and other officers, who were seated on the stage.
 Our Flag Record was read by Honorable Ira J. Mack. "The Elks Tribute to the Flag" made by Honor- able Claude M. Erwin. Both of these were short, but filled to the brim with patriotism, showing from the history of our grand old flag and what it has .stodd for from it's earliest history.
 The patriotic address was delivered by Dr. Marion Waldrip, pastor of the Central Avenue Methodist church, at Hot Springs.
 "The American flag has always waved for liberty" Mir. Waldrip said. Ut has never trailed in defeat be- cause the cause for which it has ever stood was right. The flag is now fighting for a continuation of nb- erty and defeat cannot overtake it because right will prevail. It is left with us" the speaker said, whether it shall ever touch the dust The million men in France and the million or more in training, are not the ones to keep it from falling, but, we, at home, are the main ones, the power behind the boys Conserve, buy Liberty Bonds, War Savings Stamps, support the Red Cross and the Y. M. c. A.--all these and even more, are some of the ways by which to keep our flag floating.
 "When the great world war is over the American flag will be the most universally loved one in the world. It is the prettiest and most loved of all flags now. Can you wonder why your sons are so willing to defend it :?
 The flag is now being carried over the
 battlefields in France. Our boys are following it. It will never turn back until victory is achieved and neither
 will our boys. They have gone lover
 there' to insure a continuation of liberty for this grand old flag and
 they will not return until assured that lit can wave over the entire world for the cause which it represents
 MT. Waldrip was loudly applauded lduring his address, and at times the
 applause was so loud and great that

N0T \ FAD BUT
 4 NECESSITY
To Conserve in the Matter of Shoe Leather-W0men Should Lead
 In This Important Move.
Special to Independent.

Opecldl Io lHuepenueHI.
 Little Rock, June 10.-You will find conservation these days in some of the least expected quarters. It is nc longer fad-it is necessity, a war emergency.
 We are told that food, and fuel, and men, and money, and ships, and many other things will win the war. Neith- Ter single statement is wholly correct, but altogether ARE correct.
 America is just beginning to sac rifice. Many of the luxuries that had become commonplace must be sur rendered-the summer vacations, the fine clothes, the sumptuous banquets, the pastries and confections that tickle the palate, the pleasure auto mobile, and a thousand and one other things that we thought we must have only few months ago.
 The only thing the people of Ark ansas, in common with all the rest of the nation, is a Victorious, Peace through the defeat of Prussian power. Until that is attained, Luxury must go into the discard, and the sooner the people realize it, the sooner will the wished-for result be attained.
 Just one example may be cited probably you had not thought about lit. The item alone is a big item. The last two or three years has witnessed an advance of 200 or 300 perueent in the price of shoes. Whether it is jus !tified, or is only a matter of profit !eering, we cannot say, all we know is that shoes which cost us $350 not long ago, now cost $8.50 to $10, and lit is said they are going higher. And women's shoes cost as high as $15- and they wear no longer.
 One of the inevitable results of this condition has been to improve the cobbler's business. The cobbler has again come into his own, as one of the IIlOSt uOliOIdUlG CdiiiuSo. iHClC oi v more of them in Little Rock, and they have more work than they can do. People, who scorned to wear patch ed or even half-soled shoe are now regular patrons of the cobbler. Women. who have been accustomed to buy a pair of new and expensive shoes every month or so, have found that they have in their attics or clos cts an accumulation of slightly worn or soiled shoes, representing cost of hundred dollars or more. Every pair in the lot is still serviceable with 1 a little attention. ( Right here is where every woman in the country, especially those who live in cities, can aid the government | in the conservation of leather. It is nothing short of wasteful extrava- gance, the thoughtless manner in
 which many women buy shoes, and
 the women who will undertake to leao
 their sisters along the path of shoe
 conservation will do her country g
 great service.
