In answer to questions, General
March said
There is nothing to give out on
the subject of Russia"
so far as our information goes, the
Germans did not use large bodies of
cavalry in the recent drive"
The use of gas in our service has
recently been consolidated, as has
been announced to the press, by or
ganizing what we call the Chemical
Warfare Service under Major General
Sibert. General Pcrshing has been
directed to make his organization con-
form to the organization adopted here.
and the Chemical Warfare Service is
the title now given to that section in
France also. In that connection the
tribute which has been paid to the fine
work Of our chemists under the
Bureau of Mines is thoroughly de-
served. They have really done un-
usually good work, but the work now
coming under one directing head will
show the fine results achieved from
unity of command everywhere"
Complete confidence in the ability
Of the Allied and American forces to
hold against any blow the Germans
can deliver characterizes military opin-
ion here. No attempt is made, how
ever, to conceal the belief that the
days Immediately ahead may be those
of the most severe fighting Of the war.
Some officers are inclined to believe
that the Italian situation is still tend
ing to hold up German OF erations in
the West.
There has been nothing to indicate
the nature Of the steps Germany may
have taken to offset the Austrian re-
verses. There are some officers who
anticipate tho appearance of consider
able German reserves in the Austrian
lines, which would influence the situa-
ton in the West.
Aside from other considerations, off
GERS are generally impressed by the
fact that Germany is being compelled
by some causes not definitely known
to allow weeks of summer weather to
pass without driving forward The time
that will remain to her during the
present year to complete the great task
she set herself when the offensive was
launched is growing short. AS it now
appears, if another drive should make
gains proportiQnate to the previous eff
forts. there would hardly remain suffi-
cent time for reorganization and re-
cuperation by the enemy for still an
other blow later, as the rainy seasons
would be close at hand.

We have secured the franchise to
sell Liberty cars IN this territory
For Some time we have realized that
there was a place IN our organiza-

From time to time we were offered
cars which answered that drsrip-

concerned. But we were never
quite satisfied as to quality-until
we considered the Liberty

And we have taken advantage of it.
Our first ride in the Liberty actually
made US revise our opinion of mod
crate sized and modestlypriced cars.
The difference in the Liberty is
Immediately noticeable in the way
it rides and drives.
You will notice it, too, no matter
how wide OF how limited your ex-
perience may have been.
Our wide experience told us in the
first ten minutes that we had en-
countered an unusual car.
We determined, however, not to be
swept off our feet.
We went at it to find out why there
should be such a difference in the
way the Liberty rides and drives.
We found. for instance, as Percy
Owen, the President of the Liberty
Company, says, that we sat in the
car instead of on it.

Why You Should Plant Clover

Why You Should Plant Glover
Hundreds of farmers are planning
on putting in clover, but thousands
of Arkansas people have clover land
and clover meadows should be found
everywhere. Make your plans now
to plant these legumes Glover furn-
ishes the finest kind of green feed
for cattle, hogs and poultry, before
the regular pastures come in. Plant
them in the fall to keep the land
from washing and save the soil fer
tility Thep furnish humus, which
helps to make the soil loose and mel
low and capable of holding more
moisture. They gather nitrogen from
the air, and everyone should grow
them Remember, some precautions
must be taken in starting with clover
and you should talk the situation
over with your county agent.

Pork can be produced the cheap

since plants seeded in the furrow
are better protected from winter

planted on we'll drained humus filled
soils come through severe seasons
better than oats on soils in poor

Culberson varieties of oats are most
resistant to winter killing. Red

Appler, Cook, Van Croft, Ferguson
II and Fulghum, are probably most
dependable for grain production in
the central and southern sections of
the state.
How to Get Rid of Cheat in Seed
Oats and Wheat
Most of the cheat can be kept
out of oats and wheat by using a
tanning mill consistently which will
remove the cheat seed from the seed
grain before planting. The oats
from many fields this year are so
badly mixed with cheat that fan
ming mill is indispensable to get
seed of high quality; however, seed
eats from fields infested with cheat
are perfectly good when cleaned.
Careful use of tanning mill each
year serves as an important means
of accomplishing natural selection
so as to maintain or improve the
quality of home grown seed.

ON THE ITALIAN FRONT.

The manner in which the Italians wrested Monte Corno from the Aus trians makes it evident that they are again prepared to give good ac- count of themselves whether it Is a case of offensive or defensive. They have been anticipating a drive by the enemy. Such has even been adver- tised by Austria, notice being given that Emperor Charles had gone to the front for that purpose, but it has not materialized.
 That this has been due to the con- ditions which prevail in Austria Hun gary today is entirely possible. While too much reliance cannot be placed upon the peace talk and the unrest which are reported from the dual monarchy there are certain condi- tions which cannot be overlooked and among them is the desertion of 18,- 900 Bohemians who have not only slid into the enemy lines but who are prepared to fight with the Italians
 Conditions in Austria, where the people are not only tired of the wal but are rebelling at the suf- fering which they have been made to undergo, are such as to cause much concern to the enemy The offensive of last year did much to arouse the people for the time be- ing and the expectation that another was to be launched with the idea O. taking the Venetian plains was ex- pected to rally them again. It hasn' developed and it is possible that Aus tria fears the consequences whicf would follow in case of a reverse. I therefore Italy could resume opera tions similar to what it did on tn, Isonzo it would be able to take ad vantage of the conditions which ex ist in the nation which faces bank ruptcy, and it may not be long be fore it is done.

action which he did through the promptings of others and that being the case it is of the utmost import ance that a thorough job should be done when it comes to getting rid of such ar element. Suspicion is strong ly direc ed toward Colonel Repington, a British military critic, as the one who was back of the Maurice con- duct because he is known to be q leader of a faction in British army circles which has taken much the same sort of position. The disposal of the goat does not mean that this element has by any means been dis persed. On the contrary having sue ceeded in stirring up the trouble which it has and failed in it's objects through the sacrifice of one of its number there are reasons to suppose that it will continue it's activities. There can be little question but what it's leaders should be eliminated and the time to do it of course is now.
