The battle in this area has been of a most savage nature. The Germans are pouring fresh troops into the struggle in the hope that the Ameri- can onslaught may be stayed before it reaches the important railroad lines in the rear of the German front. A victory for the Americans in the Ar gonne sector would decide the fate of Germany on the western front and compel a general retreat by the en- emy from most of the French ground he still holds.
 French and Italian troops are nov ing more slowly along the line from the Disc tp the Aisne than they did on Sunday when they wiped out the greater part of the Laon-La-Fere sa- lient. The Germans, it appears, are gradually emptying the pocket formed when theAllies broke the lines north of St. Quentin and along the Aisne at Rerry-au-Bac.
 The French, however, have passed Sissone formerly one of the principal concentration points for German troops in this part of the front Gen eral Gouraud's army has crossed the .Aisne west of Bethel and this advance apparently jeopardizes the passage of the enemy farther east. The Germans in the Champagne sector seem to be slowly involved in another pocket
 It is unoffic1ally reported that Great Britain has received proposals from Turkey and that her reply has been demand for unconditional surrender to General Allenby, commander of the Allied forces in Palestine and Syria.

Gen. Pershing Praises American Fighting
 Men Tn France

In a recent communication tC Secretary of War Baker, the commander of the American Elk peditionary Forces said:
 There has never been a simi- lar body of men to lead as clean lives as our American soldiers in France. They have entered this war with the highest devotion to duty and with no other idea than to perform these duties in most efficient manner possible. They fully realize their obligation to their own people, their friends and the country. A rigid pro gram of instruction is carried out daily with traditional Ameri- can enthusiasm. Engaged in healthy, interesting exercises in the open air, with simple diets, officers and men, like trained ath letes, are ready for their tasks. Forbidden the use of strong drink and protected by stringent regulations agalnst sexual evils, and supported by their own nor. al courage, their good behavior is the subject of most favorable comments, especially by our Al lies. American mothers may rest assured that their sons are a credit to them and to the Nation, and they may well look forward to the proud day when on the battle field these splendid men will shed a new luster on Ameri- can manhood.

THOU SHALT NOT STEAL

The above is another evidence of the duplicity of the infamous bone dry law in Arkansas. It makes thieves, robbers and high. waymen. No man has a lawful right to dispose of property that is not his own, even though he does not know to whom it be- longs. In the first place he has no right under the just laws of the state to steal, and taking property that belongs to another without authority by search war. rant is theft.
