PETERSON COUNTY
 OVER THE TOP
r,t, ef Pine Bluff Subscribed The o''' Largest Part to Noble Work;
 t. LnnaheOn at Hotel Pines.

Jefferson County has Oversubsvrib. .a her quota of $60,000- for the Uni .ad War Work Campaign by $364. This .s .snort was shown yesterday at the naol reports of the workers, at the luncheon given at the Pines yesterday .t noon. This luncheon was given for s,, who had worked in the cam paign. .. .eeo Rev B. R. Steel, and followed the ,.ucheon MT. Carnahan addressed the ~orkers. Reporth were received by a ,umber of the industrial plants of .se city. Donations of $500 each were wade by the Arkansas Gas Company and the Pine Bluff Company. The in dnstrial plant making the largest re- mort was the employees of the Cotton Belt shops, who subscribed over q 400. From reports received by the citv workers it was shown that Pine Bluff alone had subscribed $555,1 to this cause.
 Those present gave rising vote of thanks to MT. Carnahan and Mir. Mann. the county chairman, for the snlendid work done in this drive. AL though the cOunty's quota outside of Pine Bluff has not yet been reached, Nr. Mann says be believes when the final reports are made it will be shown that the county will far eX- ceed it's quota.
 Mfr. Carnahan issued this state ment:
 "Our city is over the top, but the state chairman asks that we do all we can. Our workers have not been able to see all the people who want to con- tribute to this cause. There are sev- eral business people who have not so far contributed. Also there are sev- efal people holding public offices who have not contributed, also several pro- fessional men.
 Tn order to give all these chance to get their names on the honor roll. full report will not be printed until they have all had solicitation for the boys who went.
 But every business and profession- al man, including men holding public office in this city, who does not re- sp0nd may rest assured that their names will be placed in the county papers, showing they are non contrib utors.
 This appeal is not to the man who labors with his hands and makes his living by the sweat of his brow, for feel that they have done enough 1 hope everyone who is is business, pub lie office or profession will respond It is their duty to call up at the Y. NJ. c. A. if they have been out of town or have not been solicited and ask that their names be placed on the honor roll

AMERICAN INDIANS
OUTWIT GERMANS
Redmen Scouts Show knowledge of
Woods in Work in France
Swim Marne River.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON
THE AISNE-MARNE, July 23.-The
American Indians in France quickly ad-
iusted themselves to the conditions of the
country. They soon became just as cum
ming as in their native western haunts.
This is illustrated by an incident which oc-
Cured when the Germans were withdraw
ing across the Marine. Indian scouts, with
Americans, were sent over the river to
learn of the German movements.
At one crossing three Indians impro-
vised a raft and chained it to the north
side OF the Marine They hid the raft and
then started on an exploring expedition.
The Germans discovered the strange foot
prints on the river bank and came upon
the raft. They awaited the Indians re-
turn. But after reconnoitring the Indians
approached their hidden raft cautiously,
and scenting trouble, made hasty retreat.
The Germans realized that these strange
red men were not of their kind, and must
therefore be an enemy, and began firing.
The Indians ran through the woods ike
deer and finally struck for the water in
an endeavor to reach the south side.
These Indians, reared along the river
swim like Hawaiians and are able to re

GERMAN RAILWAY
LINES SEVERED
Baker Says Foch Has Cut Chief Line
from scissors Southwark to
Chateau Thierry.

WASHINGTON, July 23.-The first
immediate objective of Gen. Foch S
powerful counter attack-thc cutting
of the railway lines from Soissons TO
Chateau Thicrry-has been attained.
The Germans with this main artery
of communication gone and with other
less important railway lines virtually
out of operation because of artillery
and airplane attacks of an incessant
character apparently are faced with
the alternative of withdrawing their
forces from the Marine salient and Civ
ing up all their recent gains in this
area or risking the capture or destruc-
tion Of a very considerable body of
troops.
Positive announcement that the Ger
mans Marine line of communication
had been cut was made yesterday by
Secretary Baker.
''The railroad line is certainly broken
from Scissor to Chateau Thierry, Sec
rotary Baker said Whether broken by
actual occupation or insufferable prox-
unity to artillery ! do not know. The
line is certainly unavailable for use,
This deprives the Germans of their
main reliance in the matter of sup
| plies. -
