STATE COUNCIL OF DEFENSE
 IS DOING GOOD WORK

That the State Council of Defense is doing a good work, and attracting the attention of the national authori- ties is evident from the following communication from John H. Winter botham of the Council of National Defense:
 May l express to you the very great qualification that 1 feel in the progress that you are making in Ar kansas. It appears to me that with my knowledge of other State Councils and with my knowledge of your situ- ation with its geographical and rail road limitations, that what you have accomplished down there is nothing short of phenomenal. The State Council of Arkansas is certainly the real thing, and l am proud to be as sociated with it."

HUNS ATTACK FRENCH AT SOUTHERN END OF
 LINE AL0HG THE USE
Advanced Sections of F0iius Withdrawn Under Pressure Superior Forces of Teutons Were Badly Harassed.

Paris, April S.-The war office an- nouncement tonight says:
 During the course of the day the enemy pressure continued north of the Aillette river in the region of the lower Coucy forest. The advanced sections of our troops resisted and hindered the advance of the enemy, who was in greatly superior numbers, inlicting upon him heavy losses.
 "On the Somme front, between Montdidier and Noyon, there was no infantry action, but the two artilleries displayed spirited activity.
 "In the Vosges an enemy attack failed north of Tete De Faux"
 Berlin, April 8, via London.-The powerful German pressure along the Disc is forcing the French back at the lower outskirts of Coucy wood, ac- cording to the official report from general headquarters this evening, which says:
 "In continuation of our attack on the southern bank of the Disc, we drove the enemy out of his strong positions on the heights east of Coucy- Le-Chateau."
 London. April S.-"Except for hos
  tile artillery activity on different parts of the battle front and especial ly in the neighborhood of Bucquoy," says Field Marshal Haig's statement from France tonight, there is noth- ing of special interest to report.

APPROVE ORDINANCE
TO DEFINE DISLOYALTY

Little Rock, April 9.-The State Council of Defense has approved a model ordinance, based upon a Texas statute. to define disloyalty and sedi- tion, and provide penalties for the same. The ordinance was introduced at last nights session of the Little Rock city council, and copies of it are to be furnished the County Councils of Defense throughout the state with the request that it be passed by the various city and town councils. All disloyal and seditious utterances that are calculated to provoke breach of the peace are denounced as misde- meanors, punishable by fine or im- prisonment or both.
 Regulations of this kind have been demanded by manY to reach local con ditions To the credit of the state, there are only sporadic cases of dis loyalty reported, but in few sec tions there have been some very ser ious cases. It is believed this law will do much toward bringing about a greater respect for our laws and in- stitutions, and for the cause for which all loyal citizens are fighting.

TWO GERMAN RAIDS
 STOPPED BY SAMMIES
Americans Go Out of Trenches and Chase the Enemy-First Attempt of the TeutOns Was Repulsed Easily.

With the American Army in France Sunday, April 7.-On the front north west of Toul, Friday night, the Ger mans attempted two raids, but both were repulsed. American infantry went out of their trenches on the second occasion and chased the Ger mans from the German first line tren- ches into the support trenches.
 Details of the action were made public in the following official report issued tonight:
 "The enemy raided our trenches at two points. The first attack was re- pulsed easily. In the second the enemy was allowed to reach our wire entanglements. Then our fire opened and moment later the American in fantrymen rushed out in attack, driv- ing back the foe The pursuit was continued until tie first enemy trenches were emptied and the Ger mans had been driven back to their support trenches.
 "Enemy artillery activity was fol- lowed by extremely active shelling by our heavy artillery, which silenced two enemy batteries"

TRDOP TRANSPORT ID
 FRANCE ACCELERATED
r...ort of Increased Movement n1 Mot Made Public-American M Eorces Are to Be Brigaded With British.

wosb;ngton. April S.-Transporta- .;on of American troops to France al roadv is proceeding at the acceler- .tod rate contemplated by the speed .~a m measures taken aften the bat flo n of Picardy began. Acting Secre- t.rv Crowell made this statement to- dav but would give no details.
 For military reasons the extent of tbp increased troop movement has not been made public.
 Following the conferences between Secretary Baker and allied officials, orders were given under which a British official statement was issued saving that American forces were to be brigaded with British troops in order to hasten American participa- ton in the war Officials explained today that the process to be followed was similar to that adopted in plac- ing American troops in the front lines with the French for training.
 It has been estimated that 30 days training of this character, with Amer can battalion units assigned with the British organizations, will fit the new corners for active duty at the front. All divisions now moved from this side are composed of men who have had several months of preliminary training and who need only final in- struction to take their full share in the fighting.
 The training process will be quicker with the British than with the French, 1t is believed, because the language difficulty does not exist, American units will find every British veteran an instructor and there will be no need for interpreters.
 It was indicated that the new plans call for more extensive training scheme with the British army than has been the ease with Gen. Persh- lnss original force. There probably Mll be no attempt to set up a purely American force within the British ranks, as has been done with the French.
 The Americans are to be withdrawn When trained and turned over. They Will share fully with their British comrades the battles on their front and the belief here is that they will not withdraw as long as there is pressing need for their service with the British lines.

PROVED EFFECT OF MICROBES
Experiments Made by French Scientist
Reveal Possibility Of Marxelous
Z, Things in the Future.

&. If there were no microbes men
would grow to gigantic stature and
have intellectual powers far in; ad-
vance of those which they possess at
present. What is more, it is possible,
at least, to- live without microbes.
Anyway, these are the conclusions Of
no less an authority than Doctor Roux,
who heads the Pasteur institute In
Paris. They are based, upon the re-
suit. Of some experiments carried on
BY one of his pupils, DR.. Michael Co.
hendy.
Doctor Cohendy placed some guinea
pigs. under glass at the moment Of
their birth. The air, which they
breathed was thoroughly sterilizeh, as
was all the food administered to them.
Unquestipnably many germs were able
to reach them, but every precaution
known to science and possible with
the application of one Of the COM
pletest laboratories in the world was
exercised to protect them.
The result rather astounded the doc
tor. The subjects grew with amazing
rapidity, threetTor four times as fast
as guinea pigs Of the same age sub
sisting under normal conditions. In
the brief span of IL days they were
for the most part third larger.
Doctor Roux concludes that man, II
under perfect antiseptic conditions
from birth, would. develop very far be-
yond what is possible as things are
at present. He even hints that with
advancing knowledge, such conditions,
II not attained, will be so approx
mated as to materially enhance the
physical welfare and mental vigor OF
the race.

Get the Habit Of
Drinking Hot Water
Before Breakfast
Says We can't look or feel right
with tho system full
Of polsons.

Millions Of folks battle internally
now instead of loading their system
with drugs. "What's an inside bath?"
you say. Well, it is guaranteed to
perform miracles if you could believe
these hot water enthusiasts.
There are vast numbers of men and
women who, Immediately upon arising
in the morning, drink q glass Of real
hot water with teaspoonful Of lime
stone phosphate in it. This is a very
excellent health measure. 1t is in
tended to flush the stomach, liver,
kidneys and the thirty feet of intes-
tines Of the previous days waste, sour
bile, and indigestible material left
over in the body which if not elimin-
|ated every day, become food for the
millions of bacteria which infest the
bowels, the quick result is poisons and
toxins which are then absorbed into
the blood causing headache, bilious
attacks, foul breath, bad taste, colds,
stomach trouble, kidney misery, sleep
lessness, impure blood and all sorts
of ailments.
People who feel good one day and
badly the next, but who simply can
not get feeling right are urged to
obtain a quarter pound of limestone
phosphate at the drug store. This
will cost very little but is sufficient
to make anyone a real crank on the
subject of internal sanitation.
Just as soap and hot water act on
the skin, cleansing, sweetening and
freshening, so limestone phosphate
and hot water act on the stomach,
liver, kidneys and bowels. 1t is vast
ly more important to battle on the
inside than on the outside, because
the skin pores do not absorb impuri-
ties into the blood, while the bowel
pores do

Permane,ce Of the Heroic.

The way that the memory Of heroes
survives for tens Of centuries in pop,l-

hero of Albania, surnarned him Iskan'

The steamer that fired on the chaser
was the Felix Taussig. The encounter
occurred at o'clock this morning
south of Long Island, but the exact To-
cation was not revealed In the navy
department announcement.
According to unofficial reports. the
boat had been operating along the
coast in search OF enemy submarines
and she was making her way to her
base when she was sighted by the mer-
chant vessel.
According to reports. the gun crew
of the merchant vessel opened fire I'm
mediately and with deadly accuracy.
Half a dozen shots were fired. and
nearly every one OF them struck the
patrol boat.
Apparently the merchant ship pro-
ceeded on its course, the officers he
lieving the encounter had been with
an enemy submarine.
A United States destroyer, plying
nearby, hurried to the scene when the
watch reported hearing the>shots fred
by the merchant ship. The destroyer
arrived IN time to pick up eight Of the
survivors.
1t is not known what vessel saved
the ninth survivor.
