Britons Regain Graund By Successful Counter
 Attacks.
RENEWAL OF HEAVY
 FIGHTING EXPECTED
Allies Conserve Strength For l, Counter Offensive as Germans Prepare For New Blow On ihp
 West Front.
{ A P. War SummarvO

Renewal of heavy fighting is mo- mentarily looked for, not only on the Flanders line, but to the south in the Some area, whe@e the Germans made their bid for victory last month and failed in an effort to divide the Brit iSh and French armies at single stroke.
 The reports show signs are not wanting that the Germans purpose at tacking again in the Amiens area, is their main objective. Against this blow armies of six nations are stand ing together, British French, Belgian, Italian, American, and Portugese di- visions, ready not only to repel the attacks but to strike back when the proper moment comes in the judgment of their unified high command.
 Allies Reservng Strength.
 Apparently the allies have thrown in only enough of their reserves to hold the Germans, conserving their strength as far as possible. It has been noticed, however, that when nee essity of holding became imperative, the power was there to stop the enemy OnruSh.
 In the north the enemy, after his bitter reverses of Thursday and Fri day along the Givenchy-St. Venant line, south of the Lys, apparently is pausing to organize more thoroly for attacks upon Mount Kemmel which the British are holding firmly south west of Ypres. The Germans main tained infantry inactivity along vir- tually the entire Lys front Saturday, after suffering terrific losses impos- ed in breaking up the massed enemy assaults.
 Haig Takes Aggressive.
 Field Marshal Haig, however, was able to take the aggressive Friday night and carry out an operation which deprived the Germans of even such small gains as they had been forced to content themselves with af- ter Thursdays battle. By this Brit ish action, the line as it stood before Thursdays German attack, was com pletely restored.
 The British apparently are expect ing some new move by the enemy in the Arras region. and Friday night British attachments advanced in a big raiding operation on front of nearly a mile south of the Scarpe, taking prisoners and capturing ma chine guns
 The French apparently are looking fer renewal of the German offensive south of the Somme. as indicated by this weeks move on General Petain's part to improve his defensive posit ions along the Avre southeast of Amiens. The French gaining the west erly slcpe of the height overlooking the river by this move and on Friday night had the best of a reconnoiter- ing encounter, repelling raid and taking some prisoners.

Frank Tomlinson Praises Subscribers and Workers
 Who Aided Drive.
COUNTY AMONG FIRST
 TO REACH THE GOAL
< Small Liberty Bend in Every Home Sii!l the Jim Oi the County Com mittee in Completing the
 Offensive.

More than 5000 persons bought Liberty Bonds in Jefferson county third drive. according to Frank Tom linson, manager Of the county cam paign. This is believed to be the of population. in any county in the United States.
 The county's population is. in round numbers, 50,0o0, thus every tenth per- son bought bond.
 "We believe we have made the best record of any county in the United States" MT. Tomlinson said yster- day. land we are not going to stop at going over the top but We are going to continue the campaign until May 4, the offical date fer closing the national campaign.
 "We are going after the little fel- lows. the men. women or children who can buy $50 bonds on terms of S1 a week or otherwise
 Banks Willing to Aid.
 "Our efforts have been directed to selling the bonds to the individual. It would have been an easy matter to get the banks to subscribe for hun dreds of thousands of dollars worth of the bonds and then sell them to the individuals. That method would have enabled us to go over the top in even better time.
 "The banks would have been will ing. and every banker has invested in bonds, but they are his own invest ment. Of course, many small pur- chasers have bought their bonds thru the banks, but the great majority are buying them direct from the govern ment, either paying cash or buying un- der the government plan of 3 per cent down and three other payments.
 q believe we had the most perfect organization possible for the work. Every man in the county is listed, hls personal and real property estimated. and his obligation to the government assessed. Some went higher than we expected, others took smaller amounts, but on the whcle we ran across few slackers.
 Praises Loan Workers.
 "The government prefers selling a great many small bonds to few big ones. and that is going to be our pol icy during the remainder of the cam paign. We want liberty bond in every home in Jefferson county, and we expect to realize that ambition.
 "Pine Bluff and Jefferson county have done themselves proud. We are: as usual, among the front ranks or the leading cities of the nation.
 "To the me nand women who con ducted the campaign the greatest praise is due. Onl'' real patriots Will give their time as well a stheir money, to help the nation in it's hour of need'"

"We Will Do Our Part, You Do Yours!"

Washington, April 20-''We will do out part. You do yours," is the mes sage of the American army in France to the American people that Secretary Baker delivered here tonight at Lib erty loan rally, in his first public ad- dress since his return from Europe.
 "We are fighting an adversary" MT. Baker declared, "who had selected to make force the center of his political philosophy: It is not a doctrine upon which a permanent civilization can be built, but we accept that challenge as it has been made. There is no answer except cold, relentless, adequate force."
 Turning to the German drive, MT Baker said the people watch the bull letins from day to day, always with the question in their hearts, twill the line hold?'
 "The line has been bent" the secre. tary continued, will the line hold or will it break? The end of this war will not come when line is broken It cannot end until a peoples heart is broke nand those who have looked into the faces of the people of England, France or Italy, who have looked in the faces of refugees leaving territory occupied, know that mere force can never break that heart"
