Famous W. omen
Lydia Darrah.

Lydia Darrah was a Quakeress. the
wife of William Darrah of Philadel-
phia, and rendered important serv-
Ice to the American army during the
revolutionary war. The house OF
william Darrah was chosen by Gen.
eraI Howe while the British army
held Philadelphia, as a place for pSt-
vate conferences with other officers.
On the night of Dec. 2, 1777, She
overheard an order read for the
troops to march out of the city on
the night Of the fourth. to a secret
attack on the American camp at
White Marsh. Not wishing to en-
LANCER her husbands life she kept
her secret from him and resolved
to deliver the information to Gen
eral Washington herself. She OBJ
tanned permission from Gen. Howe
to leave the city ION a domestic err
rand" and went directly to the
Americans and returned to her home
without having aroused any suspicion.
In consequence of her heroism, the
British, when they attacked the
American forces, found them so well
prepared that they returned without
having fired a shot

St. Louis Live Stock Market Special

St. Louis Live Stock Market Special National Stock Yards, III. May 7th, 1916.-Today's Receipts: Cattle $500; Hogs 12OOO; Sheep 600.
 CATTLE: Regardless of the fact that the beef steer market broke 10 to 15c today, the gener. al trade still remains a shade higher than it was a week ago at this time. This condition of the trade also applies to stockers and feeders. The market on butcher cattle and mixed stuff up to the present time was fully as high as the corresponding time last week, but today a gen. eral decline of 25c was noted.
 QUOTATIONS: Beef steers $I0 to S15.75: stockers and feed CTS S9 to S11; beef cows $S.75 to S10 30; canners and cutters $7. 7.25 to $50; yearlings S6 to S10; her. cities $9 to S11; veals $9 to SIS; bulls S8.5 50 to S1O.50.
 HOGS: Although the latter part of last week indicated the lowest level in some months when the extreme top was S17. 50 the trade has since reacted and today it shows a top of S1775, which is only 10 to 15c lower than last week at this time. Southern swine, regardless of weight, are very hard to sell, as all buyers are neglecting that grade. Today's quotations: Good to choice hogs 160 to 210 lbs $17.5O to sl775; 220 to 260 lbs $17.25 to $17.50; extreme heavy hogs $17 to SIPS; pigs S10 to 1 $l7.50; roughs $15.75.
 SHEEP: This trade com menced to break a week ago to day, thus the present market in comparison with that time shows ] a general decline of soc per cwt.

Every man, woman and child in Arkansas is yitally concerned in the outcome of the annual school election on Saturday. May 2S. The schools stand firmly as one of the most impor- tant adjuncts of the home line of defense. It is a truism, that As are the schools, so are the nations. Civilization lags, prog ress turns backward, and man kind turns it's face toward the barbarous past in that country where educational interests are not maintained at the highest ef- ficiency. No patriot will neglect to cast his ballot in the school election to maintain the funda. mental principles of progress. Do not dismiss it with the idea that tit does not matter. It does matter, very materially.

Friday Nights Fire

What might have proven a most disastrious fire had it not been for the heroic effort of the citizens, broke out on the prem ises of Mr. R. A. Hutson Friday night at about g o'c clock. The fire was discovered after getting con. siderable headway in building that was being used for a wood shed, smoke house, and a gener al plunder house. A bucket bri- gade was immediately organized for the purpose of saving the res. idence and other nearby build ings. and by faithful and heroic effort the building was saved. MT. Hutson's household goods were taken from the residence building and everything saved with little damage.
 After the burning building had fallen in the boy scouts carried water and made an attempt to extinguish the flames entirely before leaving the place, and would have done so. but for the fact that there was pile of coal that it was almost impossible to put out by hand. Luckily there was no wind. which made the fire more easily kept under con trol and kept it from spreading. We failed to learn the amount of the loss.
 MT. and Mrs. R. A. Hutson au. thorize the Independent to say that they wish to extend their most sincere thanks to the people of Carlisle for the heroic work they did in saving their residence and household goods from the flames in last Friday nights fire, and especially the women who so kindly assisted in rearranging their household goods the follow. ing morning. Mir. Hutson says he feels under everlasting coli gations to all who came to his rescue at this most critical time. and last but not least, his most grateful appreciation of the work done by the boy scouts.

oncr he was assured that whatever of
spirit and fighting qualities the Germans
might have lost as a result of their COM
plctc defeat between the Aisne and the
Marne had been restored. This he can
ascertain by tho nature of the defense.
"lf, therefore, after feeling it out he
comes to the conclusion that the Germans
have themselves again in hand, ho is very
likely to call of further offensive opera
ticns for the present, at least.
sMsAsuINo blow TO GERMAN ARMY.
There is danger that public opinion
may appraise too highly the allied VIC
tory, particularly in its relation to the
immediate future. Foch has won n
tory. 1t has been a smashing blow not
only to the German morale, but to the
German Army itself. He has captured
mountains of supplies, a great many
guns, and has inflicted severe losses on
the Germnns-losses which could be Ill
afforded, since there Is no new reservoir
from which they can be replaced.
"Foch has, most Of all, seized the lnitia-
tive, at least to a limited extent. But he
has been operating on what is but little
more than a local field. He has not at
tempted what might be termed general
engagement. His blow has been rather
in the nature of counteractlon than a
direct action, although the continuity
of the pressure which he exerted on the
German lines would give the fighting of
the last ten days an Independent char
acter.
REAL BLOW NEXT YEAR.

attempt to force the fighting, To drive

purpose of destroying the German Army

I'VE may, and very probably shall, see

Eaged in struggles which may last for
several days But these, too, will be

when the Allies begin their offensive

about the fact or about the outcome.

having arrived.

FOCH TO STRIKE BIG
BLOW NEXT YEAR
There Will be No Doubt About
the Outcome When Foch Starts
Offensive, Says Expert.

Washington, Aug. 6.-The war situa-
tion no to last night was summarized as
follows BY noted military critic:
"For the first time since July Is, when
the Germsn offensive began, the battle
front from scissors 10 Rheims has reached
4 condition of temporary stabilizat1on.
The French reports indicate that At
tempts have been made to cross the
Vcsle. and that they have been sue
cessful at several isolated points.
"But it would seem that, after having
effected crossing, the Allies had met
with such stiff resistance that they had
been unable to make any headway or
open the way for more extended cross
ing.
stream, however small, operates to some
depree as an obstacle to a crossing. Even
should the defense be operating only with
a rear guard armed with machine guns 1t
would be able to hold the advance ma
terially.
ArsNE OFFERS GOOD SHELTER.
"It is not apparent whether the re-
Instance with which the French arc meet
ing is offered by the main body Of the
German army or whether it is rear
guard action only. But, as stated yester-
day, there seems no particularly good
reason why the Germans should halt on
the Vesle, principally because ust be-
hind them is the truly excellent defensive
position furnished by the Aisne.
"The fact that the Aisne has been al
ready crossed by the French west Of
scissors does not affect matters to any
great degree The line is not turned by
this crossing, nor is it IN great danger
of being f1anked this year. In fact, 1T Is
verv doubtful whether, once behind the
Aisne, the Germans would not be free from
the menace of an Allied offensive for many
months.
FocH TAKES NO CHANCES.
"Foch is daring strategist of an es-
sentially offensive type. But his dar-
ing arises from a close study and full
knowledge of all the elements of a given
situation. He will not take an unneces-
sary chance, nor will he use his forces IN
attacks that have not q definite and
positive object to be gained.

would have now in pressing the Germans

less il he risked general engagement
before he was sure OF his strength. Hc can
afford to whit He must wait, since when
he does strike he must win, or the allied
cause will go down. The stake is 20 great
that he dare not take chance when he
knows that the passage of but fcw
months will remove all elements Of doubt"

400 SUNKEN SHIPS
READY TO SAIL AGAIN
U-Boat Victims, Promptly Sal
vaged, Begin New Career
on Ocean.

London. July 25.-Not all the ships
which German torpedoes and marlnc col
lisions send to the bottom of tho sea stay
there. In less than three years more than
400 sunken merchant vessels have been
restored to service. And more than one
ship has been raised, repaired, sent forth
on new career, and then sunk and
raised anew for third lease on life.
This rescue work is done by the salvage
section of the British navy. Before the
war no one Thought of attempting to save
such wrecks as are now brought up from
the depths, but ships now are priceless
The financial value of the salvage work
is enormous. The cargoes saved are them
selves worth many millions OF dollars.
Recently big American tanker col
lided on dark night in the English Cham
mel with a sturdy British standard ship
carving OIL There was an explosion OF
benzine, and both vessels were quickly
swept by the flames. OF the crew of
British ship only eight men, who jumped
overheard. were saved.
Salvage work on both ships began with
the arrival of tugs which, after over
coming many difficulties, managed to tow
them close in shore. There it was neces-
sarv to sink them by gunfire. They are
now being brought to the surface, a long,
arduous task.
The tanker. fine vessel some 500 feet
long and newlyfbuilt. had on board 16, 900
tons of oil, and, though she blazed for four
days, half of the cargo was saved. When
thoroughly repaired the tanker will be
returned to the United States, not much
worse for wear, the damage being esti-
mated at $3.50, ,000-a small amount in
marine figuring in these days when per-
