Heber Springs, July 10.-Efforts to induce the draft resisters ot surren der without further bloodshed having come to naught, Major Brandon has assumed command of the allied forces and will inaugurate forward move ment at once..
 Lieutenant Prather returned to He her Springs after futile effort to locate the draft resisters and conduct q barley with them. He searched out all hiding places of the men and found recent traces of their presence. While in the woods he found daughter of Atkinson, sister of Mrs. Matt Sim mons, whose husband is in jail here, who was in search of her father, who is severely wounded She made an earnest effort to get in touch with members of the gang, but the resis- ters kept under cover.
 Sheriff Plant brought Mrs. Sim mons to Heber Springs about 200 o'clock this morning. She conferred with old Mrs. Blakely, one of the women being detained at local hotel. Mrs. Blakely wrote letter to two of her sons, who are with the draft re- sisters, telling them that they were surrounded by 300 soldiers with ma chine guns and army rifles; that they have no chance to escape, and advised them to surrender. This letter would have been delivered had Mrs. Sim mons succeeded in locating the gang.

INTEREST SHIFTS
 10 BALKAN FRONT
Offensive in Albania May Lead to Important Developments French Troops Continue At tackS.

Washington, July 10-An official dispatch to the Italian embassy today from Rome said that the Italian and French troops, in their offensive in Albania, hwich is continuing, have captured 1,000 prisoners, including 50 officers, several airplanes and much war material.
 For the moment the eyes of the allied world are turned away from the battle front in France, where the Ger mans are believed to be preparing for a resumption of their offensive against the positions held by the sol diers of the entente nations. The most active theater of war is in AL bania. where the French and Italians are continuing their successes against the Austrians.
 While it is not expected that far reaching results will follow, the move ment has interesting possibilities Rapid progress of the French and Italians, the probability that the Aus tro- o-Bulgar line to the east past Lake Ochrida may be outflanked and the possibility that an offensive may be launched along the Saloniki front give importance to the events in AL bania.
 There have been indications recent ly that an offensive might be begun in Macedonia, if for no other reason than to draw Austrian, and possibly German troops from Italy and France It is reported that the Bulgarians are war weary, and that powerful blow along the front north of Saloniki might have notible military and polit- ical results. The Teutonic allies in Macedonia have been savagely at tacking the entente lines, but have been driven back.
 French troops continue their offen- sive tactics east of the Retz forest, diOuS ln6 OI llit AidlllS JO bAiS Aisne. The fighting has gradually extended southward along the front southwest of Soissons. with the French repeating their operation of pushing the enemy back from strong positions, from which he might reach vital ground along the French line of defense. Along the British front there have been intermittent artillery duels, deepening here and there into bombardments of great intensity East of Amiens the Germans have drenched Australian positions with shells and then attacked in an at tempt to regain territory lost when the Australians and Americans att tackled July 4.

WOULD GUARD STATUES
Paris Protests Against Neglect OF
Art Treasures.
Allowed 10 stand Exposed 10 Ale Raid
ers~-prcnnIse OF Aid
FasIs.

Paris.--protest has arisen In many
quarters here against the deliberate
neglect of many Of the priceless stat
ues and works of art In Paris. which
have been permitted to stand unpro-
tected against possible damage from
enemy air raids and bombardments.
The special commission charged with
the duty OF providing protection for
public monuments OF art has been se-
verelg criticized.
Last year when the danger OF air
raids seemed comparatively remote q
dozen or more monuments and statues
were ordered to be protected with sand
bags Some time afterward 'loaded"
sacks were placed at distance from
the monuments or statues waiting to-
be put In place. There they were al
lowed TO remain, nothing further be-
ing done. The bags lay about the
statues for weeks.
In the meanwhile there were several
air raids. Fortunately no monument
or statue was hit On the initiative
OF ii group OF citizens work on the pro-
lection of some OF the masterpieces
was begun, and many historic pieces
iike the Vendome Column, the 0bellsk.
the strassbourg Monument and the art
works In the Luxembourg gardens
were given some adequate protection.
Street urchins anxious to play 'in
the trenches" climbed up among the
Tags, causing loose one 70 slip. with
the result that thousands OF bags fell
In an avalanche about many of the
statues. II was thereupon found that
the bags were filled with stones or
ciinkers.
Art lovers protested and called the
attention OF the commission to the
fact that stones and clinkers afforded
no protection against German bombs.
The Paris municipal council Is now
taking measures TO remedy the present
condition and promises that every valu-
able piece Of statuary and historical
art viii be reasonably protected.

Birthday Party |

Rev. Kimbro entertains fellow di-
vines at Sumptuous repart.
Three generations of ministers
were represented at the birthday
dinner party given by Rev James
M. e. Kimbro, honoring his twenty
second anniversary. Father William
II. Coleman, while still active and pro-
gressive, yet represented the old
school, having entered the ministry
fifty years ago. He belongs to that
class of splendid preachers and lead
ers that the race sent out decade
after freedom. Twenty-Five years
later another class of ministers ap-
peared. Rev. Upthergrove repre-
sented this group at the dinner; while
Rev. John Wesleys Arnold and Rev.
Kimbro are preparing themselves for
tomorrow, to take their places with
khe thinkers of the world. 1t was
indeed impressive to see these three
groups of ministers around the fes-
tive board, relating "reminiscences, re-
viewing the recent past, and discuss
ing the problems of the future.
Rev. Kimbro and his family pre-
pared d dinner that caused one to
forget the II. c. L. and the war.
The seasons choice delicacies were
before these devouring divines, and
right well did they live up to the
reputation Of their profession, while

merry. May Rev. Kimbro have many
happy returns.

Soldiers Aid
Society Notes

Wednesday afternoon the Soldiers
Aid Society listened to splendid adj
dress delivered by Secretary 9. u.
Higgins who is now IN the war serv-
ice. being stationed at Camp stuart,
Newport News, Va.
The keynote Of Mr.. Higgins adj
dress was Preparedness He ad-
monished us that we should hold our
selves in readiness we should
be prepared to take our places IN
the ranks when opportunities were
presented. "The Negro in many ave-
nues ii coming into his own said
Mr.. Higgins. He is not only win
ming fame as soldier, but in the m
dustrial world as well, the Negro is
on d prominent platform, attracting
the attention of the world" He then
spoke OF the important part that
Negroes are taking in ship building
and other industries; Of his own work
In detail and the harmony OF broth
erly love existing in camp between
the two races; Of the boys keen IN
terest, and appreciation Of the work
that we are doing and their special
mention Of the Easter Message and
Telegram, which the Society had
sent to them.
Mr.. Higgins parting advise was
to "carry on" to ally ourselves with
any and every movement that meant
uplift: not to be found wanting IN
any phase Of war work that was
open to ns. "Four regiments are
now In the trenches" said MIR. Hig-
gins Of which Co. G is unit; fif-
teen thousand men are now at the
front and they need service, help and
all the encouragement that you can
give. Add all you can to their bit
and prepare yourselves for the new
era that ID dawning a new era is
bound TO come and their sacrifice shall
not be In vain"
He who hath led, will lead
All through the wilderness;
He who hath fed will feed; and
He who hath blessed will bless.
Wen let the morrow rest
In His beloved hand;
His good is better than our best,
And we shall understand,
III trusting Him, who faileth never
We rest in Him, today, forever.

GET THE HABIT

On January LIST the government was
facing a deficit of approximately ten
billion dollars for the fiscal year
which ends June 80. This was despite
the fact that there had been two Lib
Nerty Loans already in addition to the
normal revenues then vastly in
creased by the new war tan legisla-
ton. For war is an expensive resort,
no matter how unavoidable it may &C.
OCCASIONALLY become.
Since then several billions have
been added to the national bank ac-
count through the selling of thrift
stamps, short term certificates and the
collection of taxes of various kinds.
Yet even so there still confronts us a
tremendous obligation. And Uncle
Sam has way of meeting his obliga-
tons of whatever sort.
Even when we have handsomely
oversubscribed this Liberty Loan, as
we must and will e will only have be-
gun our task of financing the war.
And that 1t is our task, that we have
to perform it to the last penny, is the
one thing we must speedily come to
realize. 1t is our job. No one is 60
ing to relieve us of it. We must do
1t.
So the sooner we begin to tighten
our bests, to make q NEW more sacri-
fees, to abstain from a few more in
dulgences and to economic and save,
the better 1t will be both for us and
the nation. The easier our task will
become.
De must get the habit; the impera-
tive habit Of saving.
The sooner we get 1t the sooner we
can buy Liberty Bonds to the measure
of our national need without real
hardship.
And the more Liberty Bonds we are
able to buy now the easier it will be
for us later on. Every Liberty Bond
is milestone on the road to indie
pendence.
So get the habit. There's none bet
ter.

to have some to put on the market to

the next step is to decide upon the
variety of vegetables to be planted.
Most people pay no attention what
ever to the variety, but simply go and
buy a package Of seed regardless of
the kind. While the following list
