London, July Germans are counter attacking heavily along vir- tually the entire battlefront, accord ing to news reaching London early this afternoon. The enemy attack is especially heavy in the American sec tor, resulting in driving the Amer jeans out of the village of Cierges, about five and one-half miles south east of Fere-en-T Tardenois. Another German thrust drove the Americans back from Beugneux, northwest of Ferre-en- Tardenois. The allies have made some gains in the Ardre val ley on the easterly side front and near the center in the neighborhood of Villrs Agron Aiguizy. On the westerly side front the French are progressing north onto the Crest Plateau between Vesle and the Ourct;. The enemy's withdrawal is still or derly.

AHotIne7ts And
 Family Allowances

simplify the administration of all lotments and allowances both by the Bureau of War Risk Insurance and in the field. Henceforth the Bureau of War Risk Insurance will handle allotments of only two amounts, $15 or $20. The amounts of family al- lowances paid by the government to supplement these allotments are not changed by the amended law.
 Beginning with July pay, the Bu- reau of War Risk Insurance will han dle allotmnets only to support fam fly allowances-and then only in the amounts required by law to support such allowances. The excess allot ments, and allotments to persons not entitled to allowances, will be handled by the war department. navy depart ment, marine corps or coast guard This change in administrative proce- dure will considerably increase the bureaus efficiency in handling it's allotment and allowance problem.
 Under the new amendments a fa- ther through adoption and mother through adoption will be considered the same as a natural father and mother, and will have the same rights to allotments and allowances. Approximately 3,600,000 checks have been issued by the Bureau of War Risk Insurance. Checks are being mailed at the rate of more than 10000 day.
 All allotmnts payable by the Gen. tral Disbursing Division, Office of the Quartermaster General, formerly payable by the depot quartermaster,

QUESTION OF BOND
 ISSUES WILL BE
 DISPOSED OF TODAY
Special to Independent.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, July 30.-The ques- ton of bond issues for state, county and municipality was at last reached in the constitutional convention yes terday afternoon, and will probably be disposed of today.
 So far, no strong opposition has developed to the issue of bonds itself, the only evidence being an amend ment by Delegate E. P. Watson of Benton that no bond issues be per mitted for any purpose, but this has not been voted upon.
 The convention seems to be agreed generally that sort of bond pro- vision is necessary, and the chief difficulty appears to be to decide just what restrictions shall be placed about it.
Newport daily independent., 1918-07-30

The following is published for the information and guidance of the pub- lie:
 A radical change in the method of handling allotments and family al- lowances, which will speed up the delivery of government checks to the dependents of soldiers and sail ors, went into effect on July 1. Sew eral important amendments of the War Risk Insurance Act, just ap- proved by the president, make possi- ble the change in procedure.
 After July 1, every enlisted man in the military or naval service, re- gardless of rank or pay, must make the same compulsory allotment to his wife and children, $15 a month. To this allotment the government will add monthly allowance ranging from $5 month for motherless child, and $15 for wife without children, up to maximum of $50. In addition the enlisted man, if he desires government allowances for his dependent parents, grandparents, grandchildren, brothers and sisters, make voluntary allotments to them by the new amendments at $5 month, where allotment is made to a wife and children, and $15 where no such allotment is made. Hereto fore allotments were on slidin scale and varied according to the sol dier's pay or the numbers and per- sonnel of his family.

Associated Press War Summary


 Associated Press War Summary)
 The Germans throwing nearly a million of men into gigantic battle between Soissons and Rheims, are counter attacking vjciously ;gl around circular battle line. Even this formidable force, however, ap- pears to have made not more than a dent or two in allied front, while slight, but important progress by all lies at various points is reported.
 Unofficially advices say that one Teuton division is now engaged. The German counter-blow forced Ameri- cans out of the towns of Cierges and Beugneux in the neighborhood of Fere-en- Tardenois, while the allies are forging ahead in the Ardre val ley, west of Rheims and toward the bottom of the pocket at Villers Ag- ron Aiguizy.
 Only patrol actions are occurring on the British front.
 There is little news today to ampli- fy the Copenhagen dispatch of last night to the effect that Turkey and Germany have broken off relations. Amsterdam advices, however, indi- cate that Turkey intends to pursue an aggressive policy in Caucasus, which is supposedly set aside for German exploitation.

There is a man in Poinsett county whose name, for obvious reasons, we will not mention, who will probably go through life bewailing the injus- tice of the draft board that certified him for service, despite the fact that he presented a letter written by his wife to prove that he had depend ent family. Here is the letter:
 "Dear United States Army-My husband ast me to write recommend that he supports his family. He cannot read, so don't tell him. Jes take him. He ain't no good to me.
