 Improved By Experience.
 He pointed out, however, that the De Haviland planes, improved by ex- perience, have reached quantity pro- ductiOn, and told of successful efforts of American and foreign designers to fit new types of planes to Liberty motors.
 Orders for Liberty twelve cylinder motors have been increased from 22,- 500 to 50,OOO. he said, and building of Hispano and Suiza and eight cylin- der Liberty motors have been ordered ito balance the program. Emphasiz- ing that motor production now was fully up to expectations: MT. Ryan said that each of the allied govern ments is seeking liberty motors in a quantity more than we can build."

DR0UTn INJURIES CORN CROP OVER
 ENTIRE STATE

The following is report of the corn crop conditions turnout Arkansas as issued by Martin Nelson, Dean and Director of the University Agricul- tural Experiment Station:
 The drouth has badly injured the corn crop on thousands of farms in Arkansas. It will not be possible for a great many farmers to gather any good seed corn from their own fields. Indications are that good local seed corn will be scarcer this coming spring than it has been in number of years.
 It is important that we look for ward to every possible means of sup plying our own seed corn. This ap- peal is made at this time because there is a considerable quantity of good corn of the 1917 crop still in the hands of farmers and the prospects are that all such corn seed grade should be held for that purpose.
 Farmers are hereby urged, both from the standpoint of self and com munity interests and from the stand point of patriotism, to pick out and hold all sound corn of the 1917 crop and make same available as s. seed, particularly in his own community Of for other communities that may have suffered worse from the drouth.
 The importance of this matter is clear when it is realized that good crop in 1919 will be possible only by having supply of good seed.

With the French, Army in France, Aug. 2S.-(By The Associated Press) -(Afternoon) 1.-The German retreat more speedy since the fall of Chaul- nes than previously.
 Vigorously pursued by French troops and harassed by their own mustard shells, which they left be- hind and which are being fired from German guns by French gurfners, the enemy is making haste to cross the river Ihgon in the region of Nesle and the Canal Du Nord.
 Advance 1.2 Miles.
 General Debeny's men. without great opposition advanced 1-2 miles during the night and this morning their cavalry was upon Neale, cloae on the heels of theretirfng enemy.
 The pursuit toward the Canal Du NOrd slackened this morning when the enemyB artillery of all calibe1s maintained heavy fire from strong positions west of the canal.

 A Picture of DesOlatiOn.
 The battlefield the Germans have abandoned presents picture of de- vastation and desOlation that has not been surpassed during the war.
 Rove and the villages round about have been quite as thoroughly de- mOlished as MOntdidier and MOreuil.
 Eeven cemeteries have been blown up, tombstones smashed and graves opened.
 Towns Name No Longer Exist.
 Thenames of towns in this region no longer have any other significance than as reministnce and a geograph- ical designation.
 They have ceased to exist as towns. Their sites are hardly rec0nSini1- able for the intense smelling has not only obliterated streets and defaced boundary lines but has rendered the topography unrecognizable in many places.
