TWO BIG CAMPAIGNS IN
 PROGRESS IN ARKANSAS

There are two big campaigns in progress in Arkansas this month that must be gotten out of the way before the next Liberty Loan drive the last of September
 An intensive campaign is being made by the Emergency Council on Education to keep the attendance in school and college up to the standard, that there may be no shortage of trained men and women during the rest of the war, and after the war is over. This is vital to the commercial, education, industrial and social vel fare of the nation.
 Another campaign is that undertak- en to raise $100,O00 in the state for the erection of a girls industrial school and a womens reformatory. The government has agreed to add S50,000 to this fund. The state is back of the movement, and will man. age the institutions when completed, under the provisions of an act passed by the last legislature This move ment has been endorsed by the State Council of Defense as a war measure. and will receive the support of the county councils. The state is to be thoroughly organized and q system atic canvass made for this worthy cause.
 Then there is the Farmers Give-a- Bushel campaign. just now being or ganzed which promises so much for the aid of disabled soldiers and sailors of America and the allied countries. These and other war activities will

sONNE SITUATION
 MORE STABLIXEO
pramy Apparently Is Calling On
 His Reserves For Help-Fight
 ;nc is Desperate and Allies losses Are Growing Heavier.

1ordon Aug. 11.JToday the situa- .;or south of the Somme was becom- ;nr more stabilized. There has been m important allied advance in the lost F hours and at some places .rrbt retirement has been necessary.
 The fqhting has been desperate and of ding-dong character and for the moment any big advance on this front is not expected.
 The enemy apparently is calling up- m his reserves to help him save all material possible.
 At noon today the allied line was as follows. starting from the north: West of Meaulte, which is still in Ger man hands: thence to Etinehem, Fra mervller and Lihons, which are still German; Hallu station (the Germans hold Hallu: Parvillers, L'Echelle and Armencourt, both of the latter still heinz German, and thence through Tilloloy park and through the station of Roye-sur- Mat2 to Mareuil-Lamotte to Samson and Marchemont, from which it joins the line of the Disc.
 In the area before Vauvillers the enemy has been supported by heavy artillery. but further southward the French first and third armies have ad- yanced slightly. and in this neighbor- hood the Germans do not appear to be too well supplied with artillery.
 Large fires and long transport col mns in the cuemy's back areas tend to strengthen the belief that his heavy counter attacks against the British are intended to afford him time to evacuate his stores.
 The allied casualties in the first two days of fighting were comparatively light because the allies virtually run through the German positions. But since Saturday the fighting has been of more severe character.
 Interest centers around the struggle for the Lassigny Massif, which is high ground in difficult country and affords a considerable view of the surround mg neighborhood. Its southern edge IS in French hands, but a considerable advance must be registered before the allies can cross the Cuy-Noyon road. All accounts agree that the attacks oi the Third French army on the Hasslf are making satisfactory pro gress and that an advance of from three to five miles has been made Snce Saturday morning. The roads

ALLIES CAPTURE 36,OOO 0F F0E
 AND 5OO GUNS
Enemy's Reserves Coming Up, and Resistance StiifenS-Ger- mans Making Desperate Elf fort to Hold NOyon.

Paris, Aug. 11.-The Germans to- night are holding the Chaulnes- Rove Noyon line but the allies are making progress south of Noyon. The enc my's reserves are coming into action and the defense is stiffening all along the battle front from Noyon to Chaulnes.
 Desperate fighting is going on be- tween the British army of General Rawlinson and the German army of von Der Marwitz. The enemy is counter attacking savagely west of Noyon and seems determined to hold the town at all costs.
 The number of prisoners taken so far in the allied offensive in Picardy is now estimated at 36,000. including more than 1000 officers. More than 800 guns have been captured, accord ing to the latest advices.
 The pivot of the German resistance at this stage of the battle, it now appears. is the town of Noyon about midway between Montdidier and Sois- sons. The enemy is throwing in re- serves from this base in an effort to prevent, regardless of cost, the allies from gaining control of the Noyon- Ham road, which is choked with ma terial. guns and troops.
 The Germans are expected to make a desperate stand on the Roye-Noyon line to permit the columns which are retreating in the direction of Nesle and Ham to reach safety
 The resistance of the Germans is stffening against the Fourth British army under General Rawlinson. They are reacting violently in the region of Lihons, which changed hands twice during the night, but which this morn ing was firmly held by the British.
 All the bridges across the Somme between Peronne and Ham, a stretch of about fifteen miles, have been de- stroyed by allied aviators. The Ger mans have been attempting 10 throw temporary bridges across the stream and the allied airmen are now system atically bombing these improvised structures
 All the morning reports show eX- treme confusion among the enemy forces in their precipitate retreat.
 Among the prisoners taken are gen erals. colonels and officers of all grades. Eleven divisions of Generals von Hutier and von Marwitz have been identified by prisoners taken.

COTTON CROP GIVEN
 SEVERE SET BACK
DrOuth West of River Caused Great Damage-BOll Weevil and Other Insects Causing Little Trouble.

The past two weeks were very un- favorable for cotton in the western belt. Drouth and high temperatures caused serious deterioration in Okla homa and throughout most of Arkan- sas. The critical situation in Texas was intensified.
 Reports from Oklahoma indicate that the condition there, as of Aug. 10, was only slightly above 50 per cent of a normal, compared with a condition of 75 on July 25. Oklahoma correspondents report a condition lower than that of Texas.
 The present condition in Texas seems to have been very largely dis counted in the government estimate of July 25. While most correspond ents are of the opinion that deteriora- tion was as great or greater from July 9 to Aug. 10 than from June p to July 25, the bureau report was re- garded as extreme.
 With the exceptions of Oklahoma and Arkansas the indicated condition as of Aug. 10 is not much lower than the government figures two weeks ago. Recent rains in Arkansas wil} probably prove beneficial. Deteriora- tion has been most severe in southern and western sections.
 East of the Mississippi river, with the exception of locally in North Mis- sissippi and West Tennessee progress has been satisfactory. Cotton crops of the Carolinas, Georgia and Ala bama are excellent. Mississippi is good to excellent while Tennessee has probably gone back 10 per cent.
 The weather has been favorable east of the river, but has continued hot and dry west of it. There is con- siderable complaint of shedding and of bolls opening prematurely. Insect damage, including boil weevil depre- dation, was negligible.
 The crop averages a week to two weeks early. New cotton is coming in from a number of states and pick ing will be general in a couple of weeks. There will be no surplus of labor to gather the crop. Picking will be expensive, and the adequacy of the labor supply dependent upon the weather
 Cultivation was never better, for which reason the plant throughout the entire belt was well fortified to with stand siege of dry weather-Mem- phis Commercial Appeal.
