London, June lS-In the house of
commons today Mr.. Bonar Law
read excerpts from the minutes of
the last supreme war council which
was held at Versailles. The minutes
stated that, thanks to the prompt
and cordial cooperation of Amer
lea, it would be impossible for the
enemy to gain victory by wearing
down the allied reserves before ex-
hausting his own.
After three days of attack the
Austrian offensive has not secured
the objectives hoped for on the first
day" said Mr.. Bonar Law. He
added that there was reason to be-
lieve that the initiative for the Aus
trian offensive had come from Ber-
lin.

CHURCHES SELL WAR
 SAVINGS STAMPS

Some of the churches throughout the state have set a good example in the War Savings Campaign. They realize that this war is backed by re- ligious principals and are sure that Aemerica is in the right. Why should it not be good thing for the churches in our county to offer War Savings Stamps to their members? It would at least be good idea to give every one chance to sign pledge card stating the number of War Savings Stamps they will try to buy during the year. Let the ministers of the clutches of Jackson county back the government at this time and "kill two birds with one stone"-help win the war and teach thrift.

CITY IS REBUILT.

Kut Mesopotamia, Dec. 2O.- Cor respondence of The Associated Press) This city, tht scene of the British Mesopotamian army's greatest re- verse, after lying for many months a city of the dead, abandoned by even it's native population, has gradually been rebuilt in the past six months and is now thriving town of nearly as great population as in days ot peace.
 It was too important center to be neglected. It was a link between the Euphrates and Persia, and accord ingly, after it had been deserted fol more than two months, British off cer arrived here to take charge oi the work of reconstructing it.
 The first thing to do was to clean the place. The debris was dumped out of the houses into the streets: the accumulated filth was buried oi burned, the barricades were pulled down, the dugouts and trenches were filled up.
 An imposing colonnade bazaar was built along the river bank. A begin. ming was made with coffee room ane some retail shops for the builders

only one of the many appeals being made daily for the governor to give the people opportunity to restore the activity of this law, without which the state cannot progress peaceably and successfully:
 We had a bone dry state, we thought. Now we think that we have not. Every town and and village in the state of Arkansas should call upon the governor to call an extraordinary session of the legislature to patch the leak in the bone-dry law. Some will sav "No. No" the cost will be too great. There is where they are wrong. The cost will not be too great regardless of what the amount would be to the taxpayers. The session would not require more than a few days at the longest and if this dis crepancy in the bone dry law could be adjusted in that length of time the cost of the session would not exceed
 
 $50 ,000 at the most.
 Taking into consideration the cost of taking care of prisoners who Will be thrown on the state for the period of time between now and the next session of the legislature, If the law remains as it now is, will more than outweigh the expense of an extra ses- sion of the legislature,
 There will be whiskey sold here and in other towns in the state and the people may as well be aware of that fact. If the law remains so the boot legger can get it, just as certain will he sell it. Of course many will be guilty and fined or sentenced, yet there will be many who will never be caught. The best thing to do is to get at it from the foundation and call the legislature together in extra session to consider the remedy for the leak. If it can be done we are better off, ii not we will have to submit, until the eventful day when the United States government takes a hand in the mat ter and puts stop to the manufac- ture of the product. t.-Batesvill Guard of Feruary &, 1918.

who for long time were the sole population. Skilled masons, natives who had been employed by the Ger mans in connection with the Bagdad Railway, were collected and set to work They rebuilt and re-roofed the old bazaars, widened the old streets and built new ones, repaired the mosques, the baths and the ice fac tory, put new engines into the flour mill, and converted the flats and shoals in the middle of the Tigris into vegetable gardens.
 Though still partly in ruins, Kut | today is cleaner and better town than ever before in it's history. Most of the people are back again behind their old doors. The bazaars are thronged. And the people are more prosperous than ever, for there is abundant labor for everybody in the neighborhood Some of the prominent people of the town will never come back. Eight of them, including the Sheikh and his sons, were hanged by the Turks, and forty others were shot. | The house which General Town shend occupied during the siege has been repaired, but the roof and balco- ny are still pitted with shrapnel. Seven shell holes have been filled with plaster. The memory of the gen eral and of his principal officers sur wives in the names of the new streets. There is Townshend Road, Dalamain Road, Meliss Road, and the names of the brave regiments are recorded in Dorsett Road, Norfolk Street, and Mahratta Row. Every association in the nomenclature of the Kut is re- miniscent of the memory of it's for mer defenders.
 Especially the cemetery. The long, drawn agony of the garrison which fought and endured here so staunchly to the edge of starvation makes one of the most tragic stories in British military history. Nearly 1900 sol diers of the British army died of wounds and disease during the siege, and are buried together in a bare mud field enclosed by a mud wall, with few starved palms in it, and hueless desolation all iaround-but that is Mesopotamia. The Turks dug trenches all around the cemetery, but they respected the graves.
 Volunteer parties of bluejackets from passing gunboats have landed
 and trimmed these mounds of earth
 which are as clean-cut and neat now as in an English churchyard. A brick
 wall is being built around the enclos- ure. The place is grassless, 1t IS true, but the sombre aspect will dis appear when water is brought to the
 land and the scrub palms are fertil-
 ized and cared for.
 Three miles below Kut is the only lenemy relic in the ncighborhood, an
 obelisk put up by the Turks in com
 memoration of the fall of Kut. It is
 a kind of Cleopatra's Needle on a
 square plinth, all of kiln-dried brick |plastered over. An old converted l British .cow-gun" stands as a trophy on each side. One of the guns has
 tumbled forward and the plaster and

 London, Jan. 11.-A huge howitze1 shell which had stood on the hearth in the home of Sergeant Daniel Mor- gan at Tweedmouth for sixteen years exploded with tremendous violence a few nights ago, almost demolishing the house and injuring the sergeant's three children.

WAR BREAD CAUSES TROUBLE
Said to Be Responsible for Digestive
Disorders Which Are Followed
by EruptIons.

Reports Of illness through eating
war bread are being received from all
over the country, and the news that
Lord RhOndda has instituted an in
quiry into the cause will come as a
relief to many, says the Dundee Adver-
tiser.
The bread is said to have given
rise to digestive troubles and then
eruptions in many districts. This Is
said to be due to the fact that some
bakers are using imported -four, which
contains beans and rice-ingredients
which are quite unfit for breadmaking.
The inclusion of the germ sets free a
large percentage of fat which is un-
suitable for weak digestiOnS. Then,
Of course. regulation flour does not
POSSESS the keeping properties which
wheaton flour does, and this fact again
gives rise to disorders.
The gray loaf can never be as pal
atable as the white one, but it can be
made equally digcstible and nourish-
ing If the necessary precautions are
taken. Still, our bread of today, with
all its defects, Is not as bad as that
which the Parisians had to satisfy their
hunger at the time Of the siege of
Paris, when quantity Of straw was
mixed with the flour In order to help
exc out the supplies of grain.
