ANOTHER DEBT TO IGNORANCE

Again Arkansas officers are beat ing the bush in search of draft re- sisters. Again the people of other states are reading of stacker round up in Arkansas that will result in a battle if the slackers live up to their boasts.
 Unfortunately those wto read of the drive against the draft resisters will not realize that ignorance and not lack of patriotism has caused these simpletons to take to the woods aft CT issuing defiant challange to gov ernment The resisters will be run down and captured and will be put away in some federal prison with great promptitude. If they had been taught properly they now wouN be wearing the uniform with the pride that true Americans wear it instead of being hunted like wild animals Gazette.

The allies have won one of the great est victories of the war and the end is not yet. It may be even a greater victory and greater German disaster. True we are long ways from Ger man soil, but we are told that 1t Is no longer a question of taking terri tory. General Marsh said that the objective was the German army Whenever that is destroyed or weak ened sufficiently, whether it be done on French or German soil is small matter. Smash the German war ma chine until it hasn't power to strike and then all roads will be open. If the German command is wise their armies will be taken from France while they are yet strong. If for po- litical or other reasons they tarry too long far from home it will be all the worse for them when they can no longer maintain their lines. If you will see the situation as it is quit measuring success by territory, but keep your eye on the German army and its falling power. It's a brutal fact, but the war must be won by kill ing Germans.

 While as yet no figures on casual ties in the great allied offensive in which American troops are playing so conspicuous a part have been re- ceived, the increase in the daily army lists undoubtedly is due in part to this fighting The increase for the week was 1884.

SYSTEM AND DICaPLINE

System and Dicipline must go to- gether. Without both the one is a
 failure. If we have one we must have the other as they are essential to each other. If We did not have Dicipline in our Army could we have System? Who can doubt the superiority of our army Our army is dear to every American
 Our hearts jump with joy at the sight of marching soldiers. In them we see System and Dicipline.
 Think of our postal system. How 1t far excels the old methods used when mail was transported by private indi- viduals. Not only is the price better but the service better. The individuals failed because they did not use system and dicipline.
 Can your children say when they are old that mother and father did not rear them right or that mother and father were to blame for z! downfall? How about 1t? AS you see your and your PnA VASo AAAcedhOo 0OW, 6O VIII yOuI children see your mistakes when they are old.
 Do our great men use system and di- cipline in their home life? Study the life of our president Woodrow Wilson and see for yourself. If it pays the great men of the world to use system and dicipline in their home as we'll as in business why shouldn't it pay all oi us? Why shouldn't we have a time to do everything and place for every thing? To have System and Dicip- line we must have a daily program of work for without work there is no perfect happiness, and, "sn idle mind is the devils work shop
 If you do not employ system and di- cipline in your home begin today and you will be satisfied with the results Contributed.

From Fred Graves.

July 9th, 1913. Dear Folks at home:
 Yesterday was the 4th but was very quiet here. No one worked and both Americans and French. flew flags. From the papers quite a program was carried on in Paris. Our ball team played at Bordeaux. As for myself | did not do anything. only go to the movies at Pauillac. I have heard of shooting for rain but never saw 1t. For three days the French have been shooting bombs in the air to make f, rain. It is still clear and no sign of rain, so it doesn't seem to be very suc- cessful. From Paris papers our boys are doing some real fighting. It looks good to me. There are lots of them in France now. suppose it is pretty hot at home now. It is good and hot hers in the day time There is no news, 90 will close

Contains Names ef 7O6 Americans, 45s
 Killed in Action.

Washington, Aug. 5.-Names of American soldiers who have fallen in the great Franco-American drive which turned the German offensive on the Marne into an utter defeat. have begun to come in from overseas. They swelled to 706 the total casual ties made public today by the War Department in two separate lists.
 Although nearly three times as great as the largest number hereto fore announced in single day, the total today represents oniy a part of the lists which have been accumulat- ing since the great battle began, July 15. It is not to be assumed that 1t repressnts the losses for any one day.
 No estimate of the American casualties in this continuous fighting has been received from General Per shing and it was said today that none is expected.
 53o Killed in Lists.
 Of the names made public today. 4t9 were of those who were killed in action, and 80 who died from wounds. The second list contained only names of the dea6-256 killed in action and 43 who died of wounds-but the first list showed 46 wounded severely, 100 degree undetermined, and three missing in action. In the first list there also were nine who died of disease, one of an aeroplane accident and six from accidents and other causes.

Washington, Aug. 4.-Evidence that the German armies elected from the Aisne-Marne salient have been dealt a smashing blow came tonight from all quarters. Losses in men, guns and war material sustained by the enemy, it is indicaed are so great that the full scope of the victory cannot yet be guaged.
 General Pershing's official report covering yesterdays operation for the first time cast aside military reserve and declared the full fruits of vic tory" had been realized. Even as his message was being given out, however. new reports from France showed that further advances had been realized to day. and the enemy flanKs had been turned. It seemed certain, on the face of these reports, that he could not halt even at the Aisne unless he masses many more reserves to relieve pressure again the beaten and dis. organized forces of the German crown prince
 Repetition of Plave Victory. Flooded streams have again inter- vened in behalf of the allied armies, as at the Piave in the Italian counter stroke. The rise of the vesle dehind the German rear guard apparently threw into confusion the whole Ger man organization protecting the with drawal of the main armies. It was not clear whether General Pershingis message reporting that s,400 prison , CTS and 133 guns had been captured by the Americans alone included those taken in yesterdays swift rush to Fis- mes. or only those of the proceeding
 period of the counter-o offensive. It
 was regarded as probable. however. that the captures made yesterday were still to be reported. Other reports in-
 dicate large captures of both men and
 guns in the rush to the vesle. l Reports that the enemy was hurry ing new reserves from the north to support his shattered lines now behind the Soissons-Rheims front, attracted particular attention here. If the Ger man reserves in Flanders and Picardy are withdrawn. it was regarded as cer- tain that the nibbling tactics of the British on both these fronts would be extended without delay to an effort to force the enemy, out of the salient he holds lat these two points

Nunber Taken win Thrill World When Told, Paris says French Cress the Aisne Foe Is
 Caught In Trap.

Paris, Aug. 4.-Both Hanks of the German forces between Rheims and Soissons appear to have been turned. The French have forced crossing of the Vesle west of Rheims.
 The number of prisoners captured by the allies during the last two days will thrill the allied world when an- nounced. The Vesle river, which was flooded owing to the recent heavy rains, has flampered the German rear guards, which are unable to ford the stream and had to fight for their lives. The most of these Germans were killed and the rest were made prisoners.
 Allies Still Advance.
 German endorsements are reported arriving in the Soissons sector from the north. The allies continue their advance, according to latest reports although it is held within prudent lim- its. The allied left wing has moved faster than the right and further progress in the Soissons region might expose 1t to a counter attack from the enemy.
 Allied forces in pursuit Of the Ger mans have passed through veritable charnel houses, strewn with the debris or war. Bodies of men and horses are mingled with broken-down vehicles alongside of monster ammunition dumps, some partially exploded and others intact. Bodies of Germans found in clusters beyond the range of the allied artillery indicate that severe punishment was inflicted on the fleeing columns by the French, American and British aviators.
 Allies Cross Aisne.
 Allied troops have crossed the Aisne at several points between Soissons and Venizel. The German resistance is fal- tering on the left wing of the allied advance, while it is growing stubborn and desperate on the right wing, where the Germans still retain a foothOld on the southern bank of the Yesle be- tween Champigny and Jancherv, northwest of Rheims.
 Fishes is completely surrounded by American troops. The Germans are re- taining foothold in the extreme northern part of the town, where there is house-to-house fighting. Crack Prussian guards units are offering the most desperate resistance to the Amer jeans.
