DEFENSE COUNCIL ID WAR ON BOGUS
 WAR LECTURERS
Puts Ban on Itinerant Talker Who Takes Up
 a Collection.

Little Rock, July 22.-The state council of defense has taken stand against the itinerant lecturer wno comes into the state, announces that he will lecture on the war or some of its phases. and at the conclusion takes a collection to "assist in de- fraying his expense" The council has advised the county branches to discourage any such speakings and thus hold for the people money that will be much better invested in War savings stamps and Liberty Loan bonds.
 The state council of defense has also gone on record as favoring some measure to prevent any stock running at large in towns where the railroads cannot fence their right of way. This is to prevent the killing of live stock by railroad trains, and thus conserve the meat supply.

Fuftner east along the Marne the French have tbeen enabled to throw forces across the northern bank of the stream. Severe fighting is in progress between the British, French and Italian troops and the enemy southwest of Rheims where the Brit ish, French and Italian troops and the enemy southwest of Rheims have

 hTe German defensive has notably stiffened on the western side of the Rheims4Saissons salienti but altho large numbers of reserves have been thrown into the fighting the maneu- vers seem to be more in the nature of strong rear guard action design ed to help the large forces of the enemy in the Chateau -Thierry pocket to escape northward than a purpose to stand and give battle with the ul- innate aim of holding or beating back the Franco-American troops.
 Huns Burn Villages in Retreat.
 That the Germans now realize to the full that the allies have the upper hand in the battle seems apparent from reports that they are burning villages behind them in their retreat land destroying large quantities of munitions and war materials turnout the entire salient which they had found it impossible to move owing to the rapid strides of the allies across various of their lines of cOmmunlca- tion and the domination of others by allied big guns. These guns now are throwing shells far behind the lines searching out the entire country while allied airplanes are barrying the re- treating columns with machine gun fire.
 The efforts of the Germans to re- tard the Franco-American forces were particularly heavy Monday in the re- gions of Grisolles and Bezu St. Ger mane respectively north by northwest of chateau Thierry and to the east of Chateau Thierry where the Ameri- cans are giving them battle.
