Cotton Region Summary.

Good rains relieved the drought
in much OF the western portion OF
the cotton belt. but were too late to
materially benefit cotton in many To-
calities. while the crop is suffering
from moisture in many eastern sec
tons. The cotton outlook continues
generally unsatisfactory. especially
in Georgia. Texas. and Oklahoma.
Much rust. shedding and red spider
activity are reported east of the
Mississippi river and much shedding
caused by rain in Oklahoma. Bolls
are opening well to the northern lin
II OF the belt. and picking is progress
ing rapidly in Texas and other south
ern localities. The harvest is giving
poor yield in Texas, where most OF
the crop will be gathered on the
trst picking. Dry weather was unfa-
vorable Tor coru. truck crops, pas
lures and meadows in the southeast
crn districts. but rains in Kansas
and Missouri and southwark were
higly beneficial TO pastures and
ranges. but were too late to material
~ benefit corn.

Weather and Crop
Conditions in Oklahoma For
Week Ending Aug. 27

Intensely hot and dry weather
continued through the first half OF
the week, but moderate to heavy
general rains, attended by cooler
weather, fell on the 24-25, and mod
crate temperatures continued to the
close of the week. The long drought
has. been broken over practically the
whole state, temporarily at least, and
conditions and the outlook are much
improved.
The rains and cool weather came
too late for corn as nearly the whole
crop was made or ruined before the
rains came. Cotton was revived, but
much shedding followed the rains.
The plants are starting new growth
and, with favorable weather from
now on and late frost, there is a
chance for a fair top crop. The con-
dition of cotton, however, is still
very poor throughout practically the
entire area, and the prospective yield
very light. Much of the cotton has
opened prematurely and the bolls
are mostly small. Picking has be-
come general over most of the area.
Late kafir, milo, cane and corn has
been cut and shocked for rough
stock feed. Sweet potatoes and pea
nuts are generally poor to fair pros
poets, but will be improved by the
recent rains. Pastures responded
quickly following the rains and are
already beginning to show green
The same is true of alfalfa. Flowing
and preparation of land for wheat
is now being pushed rapidly in all
sections. The first report of seeding
wheat comes from Pawnee County.
Most OF the broom corn has been
cut in the south-central, and south
western districts and is being mar
keted. The yield has been mostly
light and graded from very poor to
good. Broom corn in the northwest
ern districts is reported mostly in
fair to good growing condition and
with a prospective fair yield and
quality.

FOE RETAK ES F|SMETTEl
AFTER VICIOUS F|GHT|N G|
AMERICAN AND HUN TROOPS
CONTINUE TO BATTLE
FOR TOWN.
(By the Associated Press,
$50 a. my

With the American Army on the
Vesle, Wednesday, Aug. 2S.-Amer
ican and German troops were en-
gagged in spirited actions today in
the regions of Bazoches and Fis-
mette. According to the latest re-
port, the fighting continues at both
points. Tonight, as a result of the
local actions, the Americans had
made some gains at Bazoches. while
the German had recaptured Fismette
on the north bank of the Vesle oppo-
site Fismes. The fighting has been
marked by much stubbornness.
Several days ago. when the Amer
leans advanced in the region of
Bazoches, the Germans retired into
a wooded stronghold, known as
Haute Maison, just south of the
Soissons-Rheims road. Small de-
tachments were left in the cellars in
Bazoches, to harass the Americans.
Tuesday the Americans approached
Bazoches from the west and main
tanned their advance during the
IlSIlt. Quay tHe americans
made progress toward the town
from the east and south, a de-
tachment taking the easten outskirts
this morning. Since then, the Amer
leans have made further progress.
Fismette had been held by the
Americans since August g. despite
German efforts to dislodge them at
various times in local attacks and by
means of artillery. and machine gun
bombardments. To gain this bridge
head. the Americans crossed the
Vesle in fierce fighting. For three
days and nights, after the enemy had
been driven from the village, the
Americans were without food or re-
because of the con-
slant enemy artillery and machine
gun fire.
The Germans maintained their po-
sition on the hills commanding the
village, and only during the night
were the Americans able to com
with the southern bank.

heights at the western end of the
Chemin des-Dames, imperilng the
German lines both to the east and
to the west. To the east along the
Vesle, the Germans have reacted
violently against the Americans at
Fismette and had gained that village
ednesday night in heavy fighting.
Hun Couldn't Recross Vesle.
The enemy, however, did not sue
coed in crossing the Vesle, which
evidently was his intention. Berlin
says that $50 Americans were made
prisoner here and at Bazoches, sew
eral miles to the west, where the
Americans gained strong foot
hold.
Viewed from the maps, the Ger
man withdrawal before French
pressure in the Nesle region, coupled
with allied activities elsewhere OIL
the great battle front, which has
become the greatest of the war,
hardly places them in more Sc
cure position than the one previous
ly occupied. The fact that south
Of Peronne, the Germans went back
to the Canal du Nord and the
Somme may indicate that they will
retire to the same canal north OF
Peronne, where it runs toward Cam
brai.

Amsterdam, Aug. 20.-While {

Westphalian Gazette OF Essen states
that the entente diplomatic repre-
Sentatives there have been liberated

vik capital. under date of August 20
deny that the American and British
diplomats there were ever arrested
The dispatch to the Rhenish West
phalian Gazette, however, says that
members OF the allies military mis-
sions at Moscow still are in custody.
Dewitt c. Poole, r., the acting
American consul general at Moscow,
dispatches state, is awaiting a safe
conduct from the German govern
ment and the conclusion of an ar
rangement between Russia and the
entente governments.
A Russian wireless says that War
Minister Trotzky denies an alleged
American report that the soviets in
tend to arm German and Austro-
Hungarian prisoners to fight the
Czecho- Slovaks. Trotzky adds that
in the soviet army, the only former
war prisoners are those who have
become Russian citizens"
The central executive committee
OF the soviets, according to the
Pravda, has decreed the abolition in
towns of more than 10000 inhab-
itants of all private and real prop
ertey, the value OF which exceeds
scale to be fixed by the local soviets.
Mortgages of more than 10000
rubles are annulled and the former
are placed on the same
level as their tenants. The decree |
does not apply to industrial proper
ties.
Il was reported from London on
August 10, that Robert Lockhart,

There have been no reports of in
erterence with American diplomat
c or consular representatives,. Am
,asSador Francis and his staff went
from Nologda to Archangel last
month and were not molested by the
'olsheviki authorities.
At the time that Leon Totzky de-
Jared a state of war existed between
Russia and England and France,
american Consul General Poole was
informed by the bolshevik authori-
les that they did not consider them

Corn made poor advance general

valleys and southern Plains region
but good showers over much of these
areas improved the outlook in low
lands. But little improvement is pos
Sible. however. in much of Kansas,

the southeastern and northeastern
states, but moisture was sufficient
and good advance was made in
much of the area from the Lake re-

grains and threshing made generally
satisfactory advance, although there
was some delay by rain in portions
of the spring wheat belt, and grain

WAR SUMMARY



Having forced the Germans to re
treat between the Somme and tht
Disc, the allied forces are pressing
the advantage gained and continued
their advance eastward. Further
enemy retirement behind Roye and
ArraS are not unexpected in allied
capitals.
French troops, after an advance
OF nearly seven miles on a front of
nineteen miles. are fighting for the
crossings on the Canal du Nord in
the region north OF Noyon, which
gradually is being encircled. I'm
mediately east of the Somme, Brit
ish forces have moved east to with
in three miles of the Somme, south
of where it bends at Peronne and
are driving the enemy back to the
river crossings at Peronne and
Brie.
British Smash On.
From the Somme, to north of
Bapaume, the British pressure con-
tinues vigorously and has resulted
in an advance of more than a mile
on front of more than five miles
in the region of Curlu and north
ward. Bapaume still holds out, but
the British are pushing well east OF
that point north.
South of Arras, where the British
have crossed the Hindenburg line,
they are now east of Boiry-Notrc
Dame, about three miles east OF
Monchy-Le-Preux and threatening
seriously the QueantDrocourt sup
port line.
North of the Scarpe, German
seemingly have held
up the advance.
While the forced retirement of
the enemy from the RoyeChaulnes
lines, adds to the difficulties of the
German troops north of the Somme,
French and American troops under |
General Mangin have struck at the
votal salient north of Scissors. An
advance of nearly one mile has been
made i'll the Chavigny region. The
allies here are driving toward the
