Germans Checked.

Paris. June 1.-The French have stopped the German drive toward Paris it now may be safely said. As was forecast when the offensive be- gan. it lasted just eight days. The enemy movement is now splitting up into series of battles for positions in which the French have advantage of terrain.
 The region of Ourcq where the en- emy is making his greatest etfort' forms roughly an arena into which he is marching. On the northern side of the arena the dominating physical feature is the forest of Villers-Coter- etts and south of the hills ranging toward the Marne around Cocheret. Both of these hill positions are held by the French.
 On the west the enemy is confront ed by the obstacles formed by the rivers Orcq and Savieres, so that ne is held on three sides.

BUYS FINE HOME IN MENA.
J. E. Leeper Win Occupy the A. H
 Scoggin Residence July 1.

J. E. Leepef VIII occupy tne A. Fl
 Scoggin Residence July 1.
 J. E. Leeper, formerly resident of Mena, but whose mining interests in Arizona have required him to spend much of his time there, has definitely decided to make Mena his permanent home, and with this in view has closed the deal for the purchase of the A. H. Scoggin residence on West Port Ar thur avenue. With Mrs. Leeper, he will take possession July 1.
 This is one of the most modern and complete residence properties in Mena, and is most desirably located.
 Mir. and Mrs. Leeper lived in Mena a number of years, but Mir. Leeper's interests kept him away large part of the time, and because of relatives at Lockesburg, they decided it best to locate there, and later spent some time in Los Angeles. Mir. Leeper has been much pleased with Mena, and his recent step is the result. He also ex- poets other parties, among them rela- tives, to locate here.
 Mir. Leeper, as a preliminary to opening a business office and head quarters, has secured the old Star Office building at 602 Mena street.
 Mir. Scoggin has business interests here, and his future plans are as yet unannounced.

Ten Vessels Destroyed .

New York, June 4-The long-ex- pected visit of German armed subma- rines to American waters has resulted in the destruction of at least ten yes sells flying the Stars and Stripes, ac- cording to reports from various ports along the north Atlantic seaboard. The attacks were made by two super submersibles and most of the vessels were bombed and sent to the bottom last Sunday aitho it is known that two of the craft were destroyed prior to May 26. So far as known there has been no loss of life.
 Chief interest today aside from the coast patrol by airplanes and naval craft to prevent a possible recurrence of the raid, centered upon the fate of the 220 passengers and crew of 130 men of the 5000 ton steamer Carolina, of the New York and Porto Rico line. The liner was attacked Sunday night when within 200 miles of Sandy Hook and as nothing has been heard from her since her IS. o. s" signals were picked up, her owners assume she was lost. The crew and passengers in small boats were reported 35 miles out to sea headed for the New Jersey coast early today and coast ess;s;:ssss.. cut ters were on their way to verify the report and pick up the survivors f possible.

War News Summary.

American troops are fighting with the new German rush and already have begun to make their presence strongly felt. One force of Ameri- cans. thrown into the battle on the important front between Ourcq and the Marne, not only stopped an enemy advance into Neuilly wood between seven and eight miles northwest of Chateau Thierry, but carried out what the French official statement charaeterizes as magnificent eoun- ter attack which threw back the Gel mans north of this wood
 On yesterday another front, that running east and west along the Marne. the American forces cooper ated with the French in hurling back a German battalion that had crept over a foot bridge to the south bank of the river. The Germans sustained heavy casualties and lost 100 men m prisoners.
 Hard Fighting Develops.
 The Germans have evidently suc- ceeded in bringing up considerably more of their artillery and gre at tacking in force along virtually the whole front from the Disc to the Marne.
 Desperate fighting developed at many points along the front last night which resulted in the enemy making advances at a few points, notably in the region southwest ot Soissons where he is trying to batter in the tip of the allied salient. The village of Pernant was lost by the French in this area and they had to give little ground further south.
 The German attack was held else where.
 To the south, between the Ourc4 and the Marne, ground was given and taken by both sides. The Americans were in the fighting here, scoring their success at Neuilly wood. Just to the south of this wood the French were obliged to concede the town or Neuilly La Porterie to the Germans after the place had changed hands several times.
 Strong counter attacks were car ried out by the French at other points on this front and one of these enabled General Petain's troops to recapture the village of Mosloy. In the stretch seathward to the hhfaTns the the Germans were held from any further advances.
