AMERICAN SOLDIERS
 ON BRITISH FRONT
GREETED WITH INTENSE eNTAu- SiASM BY OMMlES-DuSTY
 AND UNShAVEN.
i-i-f-i-f-:-.-,-..-ssi-.-t-t-.,

With the British Army in France.-- The first of the American fighting troops have arrived on the British front and have been greeted with in tense enthusiasm. The overseas pion- eers were battalion of infantry which came swinging along the road into certain sector after an all-night march that began on the anniversary of America's declaration of war. The dusty uniforms and unshaven faces of the Americans showed that they had been long on the road.
 The Germans extended the sector of attack to the northward by launch ing drive against the British be- tween Armentieres and MessInes.
 The British are holding strongly along the new battle line south of Ar mentiers, after night of bitter fight ing, which was most intense about the important Givenchy hill on the right wing
 On the extreme north vigorous counterattack during the night forced the enemy to relinquish half the ground he won. between Croix de Bac and Bac St Maur.
 The fighting about Fleubaix, on the north and near Givenchy on the south was especially bloody In these sec tions hand-to-hand engagements con tinued all day and into the night h. tense hostile artillery bombardments continued at many points on the Brit ish front. both north and south of the Somme. The enemy gunners were particularly active. Arras and Vimy Ridge came in for heavy punishment all day and night, as we'll as the en- tire region around these places.
 The Germans were intent on get ting Civency hill which overlooks tho whole valley of the Lys. The British holding this position made a brilliant stand.
 In the evening the Germans surged forward again in strong force and once more got a footing in about half the village. The British countered savagely and forced the enemy back once more until the whole line at this point was re-established. Here the de lenders held out all night in the face of heavy assaults, which were con- tinued

BUY LIBERTY BONDS
Uncle Sam's Bank Is the Safest
 in Entire World.
You Could Not Place Your Money to Better Advantage, at Same Time Helping the Greatest Cause
 of Humanity.
fsy BOOTH TARkiNGToN.)


 When We intrust our savings to . bank, we like to know that it's s sound bank. We feel safe then to leave ouf money in charge of that bank and its officers. They will use 1t in various ways which seem good to them, but we will get if all back, If the bank Is sound. Yet no bank In the United States of America can be as sound As the United States itself Therefore, when the United States government turns banker, the safest place for our money to be put is in the hands of this government. Anybody can see that, without bothering to look twice. Uncle Sam himself will take care of our money. and we'll get 1t back. We know that. His word is so good that we can get the money back whenever we need 1t, because his bonds will sell, any time, for just about what we pay for them. A few years hence, of course, they will sell for more than we pay for them.
 During the time that we leave Cur money with Uncle Sam-what we call the Liberty Loan-he pays us interest. Well. I've had higher per cent than he pays-not for loan. because had to pay taxes that reduced the per cent to 3A-but on investments. Once l made an investment that paid 19 per cent, but 1t only paid It once, and then the fellow who talked me into It left town without telling anybody good-by. I've found since then. that l can't get much better than Uncle Sans rate in the long run. When think I can, usually the factory has to have new boilers. after my first divi- dend comes in, or the ore isn't quite the quality we had reason to expect" and begin the long squirm to get out with something reasonably near what I put in. No; nowadays I think the government rate is about all I'm going to get from any investment which l place with regard to the in- vestment's margin of safety. There fore I get all I can of Uncle Sam's Liberty bonds because they are to- day. of all the possible investments in the whole world, absolutely the safest. Nobody except Uncle Sam will or can give us his rate and the same absolute certainty that we'll get our interest paid promptly and the princi- pal when 1t Is due.
 That's the selfish side of 1t; we can't do better with the money for our self ish selves. The other side of 1t is that Uncle Sam uses the money for our own boys in France and our boys on the seas-our boys whose hard and ter rible daily work is done so gayly; and death always with them-dropping from the air above them, ready to strike up at them from the ground. or from the water beneath them. They bear this for us that our ideal of free dom may not be lost forever and that we shall not become the Prussian's servant. A good interest rate and safety for the money. and safety for our ideals. and for our liberty-that's what we get when we invest in the Liberty loanl

WORDS AND DEEDS
(By WALT MASON.)

l may use language till l make De mosthenes look like fake. may rear up some nine feet high, and tell how would bleed and die. If 1 were not 50 old and gray and crippled up and full of hay. I may denounce the foreign foe and tell how gladly would go to wield a shotgun in the scrap and shoo the kaiser off the map; but if l think more of my wad than of my country and my God, the things say won't cut much grass; my words are merely sounding brass. Our Uncle Sam is needing men; he's needing rhino by the ton he can't conduct high class scrap without lot of dough on tap. To raise the dust he asks all lads to lend him all their surplus scads, to buy his bonds-security the safest ever man will see. And If do not gambol up. as gay and frisky as pup. and buy the bonds till I go broke. my loyal spiels are merely smoke. Oh, boys, most any tin-horn skate can work his jawbones and orate most any hick can chew the rag and say nice things about the flag; but when we come right down to tacks, the patriot who's smooth as wax is he who comes, an ardent soul, for Liberty bonds to blow his roll

STATE WINS BRIDGE
 TAX ASSESSMENT
REFUsEs TO ISSUE RESTRAINING ORDER TO PREVENT COL
 LECTION OF TAXES.
DECISION OF JUDGE TRIEBER
Unless Taxes Are Paid at Marion When Due Bridge Company Will Be Compelled to Pay $2,80o in
 Penalties in Addition to Taxes.
Little Rock

LIltIe 1tUCh.- Judge J. B. Thompson and Sheriff Ed Monroe of Crittenden county, ac- companied by R. V. Wheeler and Hugh Haden, attorneys of Marion. was in Little Rock contesting an application filed in federal court by the Harahan Bridge for restraining order to pre- vent the collection of taxes, the pay ment of which expired throughout the state last week. The bridge company claimed that the assessment was un- equitable and unfair. After hearing the arguments Judge Trieber denied the application. Unless the taxes were paid at Marion when due the bridge company will be compelled to pay S2,- 800 in penalties in addition to the taxes assessed against the property.

London. South of Armentieres, according to the evening papers, the enemy having forced a crossing over the Lave and Lys rivers, has develop ed an attack which may be dangerous. He is pushing generally westward. The capture of Merville represents an advance of about seven miles over flat country and under normal conditions would not be serious, but to the north the British are holding comparative ly narrow strip between their front and the coast, which contains very important railway functions, etc. Therefore an advance of several miles there is much more serious than twice that distance further south.
 The evening papers declare that the British army has again reached a definite crisis and the present situa- tion is undoubtedly unpleasant.
 General Haig's Report.
 Field Marshal Haig's report from headquarters in France says:
 Strong pressure has been main tained by the enemy all day south and southwest of Baillel. Constant at tacks in great force were made in this area and are continuing.
 Our troops have been pushed back slowly in continuous fighting to positions in the neighborhood of the Bajlleil railroad where they are heay- fly engaged with the enemy.
 Sharp fighting occurred also ou other parts of the battle front north of La Bassee canal and the enemy made slight progress between the Lave and Clarence rivers.
 "At other points our positions have been maintained. On the remainder of the British front the position is unchanged
 More than no German divisions so far have been engaged since the morning of March 21 and more than 40 of them have been thrown into the battle two Or three times."

AMERICANS. CHECK
 GERMAN ATTACKS
ATTEMPT TO GO THROUGH AMERICAN LINE NEAR FOUL
 FAll-ENEMY LOST 300.
FIGHTING HAND-T0-HAND
Americans Temporarily Abandon Their Front Line and Engaged the Germans in the Open, Where the
 Sammies Proved Superior.

With the American Army in France. After another night of terrific artii- lery fire and bombardment with gas shells, the Germans continued their efforts to drive through the third line of the American positions near Apre- mont forest, northwest of Foul They made two attacks, both of which failed.
 The enemy's casualties in the four days fighting are estimated at be- tween 300 and 400 Of this number more than 100 were killed Although the enemy wasted fully a half of hrs specially trained shock troop battalion of 500 men. he was unable to pene- trate the American lines, which re- mained unchanged.
 Of the 36 prisoners taken by Amer fcan troops in the fighting northwest of Foul, during which two German at tacks in force were repulsed, with heavy casualties to the enemy, F have since died of their wounds. The American troops also captured two German machine guns, besides a quan- tity of small arms, grenades and other war material.
 The prisoners taken belonged to the Twenty-fifth and Sixty-fifth Landwehr units, the Sixteenth Pioneers and Ine Uhlans. The prisoners said they had had no food for two days. as the American artillery had prevented their rations from being brought up to their position. The captive Germans quickly devoured the food given them by our men.
 The enemy front lines had been de- stroyed by shell fire. and during the attack the Americans temporarily abandoned their own front line, allow ed the Germans to enter it and then forced them to engage in hand-to-hand fighting in the open, in which the American troops greatly excelled.
 This attack, which was the longest and largest scale operation conducted against the American troops since the entry of the United States into the war, has developed many deeds of individual bravery and heroism.
 A young lieutenant, whose home is just outside of Boston, with three en- listed men, attacked 19 Germans who had penetrated into one of the Ameri- can trenches. The lieutenant called on the Germans to surrender. One of them raised his pistol, as if to shoot, but the lieutenant shot him through the head, upon which the others lifted their hands high in the air and yelled "Kamarad The lieutenant marched the prisoners into the rear of our line and then returned to the front and resumed the command of his platoon.
 Five other Americans penetrated into German dugout, where 12 of the enemy were slightly wounded. They resisted surrender. but our men threw grenades into the dugout. killing four of the Germans. The others quickly gave themselves up.

FOREIGN
 MINISTER HAS QUIT
RESIGNATION OF COUNT cZER- MIN ACCEPTED BY EMPEROR
 BERLIN IS BEHIND MOVE.
CLAIMS LETTER A FORGERY
Missive Supposed To Have Been Writ. ten By Austrian Ruler Recognizing Claims of France To AIsace-Lor-
 raine Caused Indignation.

Amsterdam.-Count Czernin, the Austro- Hungarian foreign minister, ac- cording to a dispatch from Vienna, has resigned. Emperor Charles accepted the resignation and entrusted Count Czernin with the conduct of foreign affairs until his successor is ap- pointed.
 An official. statement received here from Vienna asserts that the latest statements of the French premier, M. Clemenceau, concerning the conyersa- tions between Austria and France re- garding the possibility of opening peace negotiations do not alter the sit uation as regards the majority of Count Czernin's declarations. The Austrian foreign ministry, the state ment says, is unable to ascertain who was responsible for delivering to the French what is said to have been a forged letter, substituted for the letter which was to have been delivered. Neither Prince Sixtus, whose charac- ter is beyond suspicion, nor any one else is accused of Justification, con tinues the statement, which con- cludes:
 "The affair is herewith declared to be at an end"
 Count Czernin did not know of Elm peror Charles letter to Prince Sixtus when he made the statement that France had initiated the conversation with Austria, according to Vienna dispatch to the Lekal AnZeiger, of Berlin. On learning of the letter he resigned, but yielded to request that he remain in office until the conelu- sion of the peace agreement with Rou- mania.
 The recent publication by the French government of the futile peace appeal sent out by Emperor Charles, of Austria-Hungary in March, 1917, and the efforts of the emperor and the Austro-Hungarian foreign office to explain this letter to the satisfaction of Germany and the German chancel- lories and the foreign secretaries. However, his participation in the ioiSCu pCdSc upOh huooid do "Cii uo that upon Roumania, did not show that his actions kept step with his words
 In the peace offensive" of the pres ent year Count Czernin in the Aus trian Reichsrath on January 25 sug- gested an exchange of views between Austria-Hungary and the United States. He announced also that Aus tria. based her negotiations with Rus sia on the policy of no annexations or indemnities, but there always was some doubt whether his pacifist man. euvers were honest or were inspired by Berlin in an effort to bring about a split among the entente allies.
 Count Czernin on April 4 in an ad- dress at Vienna declared that Pre- mier Clemenceau had sought peace ne gotiations with Austria. The French premier replied that Count Czernin lied The French and Austrian for eign officers then issued statements explaining the unofficial negotiations in Switzerland.
 Early last week the French govern ment declared that Emperor Charles and Count Czernin both had said that the claim of France to Alsace-Lor- raine was just.

Grit Your Teeth and Buy a Bond.

Casualty lists are being printed in the papers and occasionally we see pictures of our wounded at the hos pitals in France. War is being brought home to us in the middle West. We know now that Americans are fighting over there and this third Liberty loan should find us more willing to than ever before, and more eager, to con. tribute our share toward defeating the kaiser.
 Buying Liberty bonds is now as much our duty as 1t is their duty to grit their teeth and beat the Hun.
