ASSOclated Press Summary.)
 Disaster seems to be written in large letters in the news of he Aus trian defense along the Piava river. Unable to force their way farther than the immediate vicinity of the west bank of the river and with bridges thrown across the stream swept away by flood pouring down from the mountains, the enemy began to precipitate retreat Saturday night, abandoning great many can non on the west bank of the river. Italian detachments have already crossed the Piave and are pressing the retreating Austrian infantry. The enemy retreat extends all the way from the Montello Plateau southward o the Adriatic. In the mountains the situation is unchanged although allied artillery is very active in soma<sec tors.
 A German attack on the French at Antheuil was also repulsed, while the British took prisoners and inflicted casualties by local operations. Civil unrest in Austria Hungary is still rampant. The Austrian cabinet IS reported to have decided to present a collective resignation to the emperor.

The state food administl ation has authorized the announcement that no order, either from his office or by the county food administrators, will be issued that will compel butchers or other retailers of beef to keep re- cord of the amount sold to families per week. Neither will private con- sumers be compelled to keep record of beef they buy.
 To force retailers of beef and house. holders to keep such record, the state food administration declares, would be impracticable, and it is doubted if an accurate account of such sales could be maintained. In a statement to the people of Arkansas concerning the consumption of beef, Hamp Williams, state food adminis- trator, says:
 "Private families have been ur- gently requested by our government to buy no more than one and one half pounds, including the bone, per person in the family per week.
 "Any family that buys more than that allotment of beef during the week is unpatriotic. Any butcher who knowingly and wilfully sells more beef than family is entitled to is doing his country an injustice. The

Biggest Real Est tte
 Deal For This section

What is thought to have been the biggest real estate deal pulled off in Arkansas this year was consummat- ed last week when J. N. Hout, mem Der of the firm of Jackson County Realty Company of Tuckerman, sold the Clover Bead farm to Slayden Bros. of Tuckerman. The considera- tion was $2O8,O00.
 The farm belonged to Captain Tucker of Little Rock, having been his property for the past fifty years.
 The Clover Bend farm is one of the finest properties in Arkansas or the south. It is located in Lawrence county, and has been for sale for some time, but the value of the farm and the fact that so large amount of money was required to gain it's posy session, made disposition of it a slow matter.
 Mir Hout of Tuckerman, who con- summated the deal wthit few days after he listed the farm fl $ com- pany, is to be congratulated for mak- ing such sale, many real estate men far and near having been trying to do the same thing for years.

family eating more than their allot- ment of beef takes it from the mouths of American soldiers in France. They are taking it from the soldiers of the allied countries, who have been fight- ing our battles for three long years. They are taking it from the people of those countries associated with us in this war, and those people have suf- fered as no others have been called upon in years to suffer.
 ''The question, then, for every pari- otic Arkansas to decide is this:
 ~Knowing hese facs, whether you eat at home or in public eating place, do you want beef when your country needs it?
 q am certain that Arkansas, in the beef conservation, as we'll as in other features that make for the winning of the war, will be found 100 per cent Loyalty patriotic"
 Emphatic instructions have been issued to all hotels, restaurants and public eating places not to adver- tise on their menus or through any other medium when beef may be served. Violation of this order will result in the United States food ad- ministration promptly closing such places

Jackson isESecond War Savings Stamps County in Akas

That Jacks n C<nnty is alive to thS important fact if winning the eNwar and awake in realization of the fact that to buy war savings stamps is to> save money, is attested by the prominent standing the county has attained iR the list of counties engaged in-s tensively in the campaign to place war savings stamps in the hands of the people. Jackson county is second in Arkansas, there being only one county, Sebastian, that has a higher percentage than ours. Fort Smith and other good towns are located in Sebastian county, and for Jackson county to go ahead of Pul2ski rbuntJ which stands 18th in the list, Craig head, which stands 35th, and many other wealthy counties that have fail- ed to accomplished what we have, is indeed distinction.
 No one should have to be urged to buy war savings stamps. It is bad policy for a business man to not in vest in them. They pay liberal amount of interest, and one cannot make a better investment.

 An Atlantic Port, June 23.-Ger- many, war-weary and ill-fed, is in a state of unrest so acute that talk of revolt against the imperial govern ment is common among both the mili- tary and civil populations, according to Americans who arrived here to- night on a Norwegian liner after long residence in Germany or adjacent neutral countries.
 Officers annd men, the viyagers said, had told them of a sulleness which is widespread in the German army, predicting that it would reach the point where the troops will refuse to fight.
 "You see that I wear the coat of the kaiser. only wish that you could know the feeling that lies be- meath it, for we are not going to stand this forever" a German major told Miss Olga Wursberg of Grand Rapids, Michigan, according to her story on coming ashore. The conver- sation, she declared, took place in hospital at Godssberg, Germany, where the officer talked freely to her, not suspecting that she was an Amer ican. Under the same conditions she declared a private soldier said to her:
 "Some day we are all going to put down our arms. Why should we fight? Our officers now instead of leading us go behind us with their guns at our backs"
 Miss Wursberg, daughter of Fred erick Wursberg, a wealthy Grand Rapids merchant, who was born in Germany and is a naturalized Amer ican citizen, declared that the morale throughout Germany is poor and the people near revolt. She asserted that soldiers in the hospitals convalesce very slowly, so poor is the food given them.
 Carl E. Olivarius, a Milwaukee lawyer returned from a trip through Norway, Sweden and Denmark, de- clared that food is so scarce in these countries that little can be spared with travellers from the Teuton em- pire, he said:
 "No one in Germany speaks of vic tory. They always talk of food The war, in the minds of the civilian popu- lation, has become secondary to eff forts to get enough to eat"
 Herman Bernstein, the writer, who sailed for Russia six months ago, be- lieving that the Bolsheviki would es- tablish a stable goernment, returned convinced, he said, that Lenine, Trotz- ky and their followers were in the pay of Germany He declared that nine-tenths of the people desire in tervention by Japan with allied ap- proval to put an end to the chaotic condition resulting from Souviet con- trol
