NEWPORT VISITED BY POULTRY MAN H. B. Lansden of the Department of Agriculture Encourages the Rais-
 ing of Chickens.

H. B. Lansden, extension poultry husband, representing the U. s. De- partment of Agriculture, spent a few hours in Newport yesterday in the interest of poultry raising in Jackson county. MT. Lansden en- courages the raising of chickens and preserving of eggs as war measure.
 During the spring and early sum- mer," MT. Lansden said, "when eggs are abundant and reasonable in price, attention should be given to preserv- ing them for winter use. Fresh eggs properly preserved may be kept for 8 to 12 months in excellent condition and used with good results. Eggs laid during April, May and early June have been found to keep better than those laid earlier in the season."
 MT. Lansden said he was meeting with considerable success all over the state in stimulating interest in poul- try raising, and especially does he encourage the children to enter this branch of industry as a means of aid ing food conservation during the war.
 The visitor highly commended the good work being carried cut in this county by Mr. and Mrs. George H. Banks, who have charge of the dem onstration work.

"We have great deal of money n raise. and it cannot be raised by bankers alone," says Hon. Wm. q. McAdoo.
 "The banks of this country have not resources to sustain AmericaA needs in this war and to enable America to extend to our allies who are fighting with us, the essential aid which they must have to enable them to go on with the war.
 "The rich of this country alone cannot do it. The men of this coun- try alone cannot do it. The women of this country alone cannot do 1t. @But all of us, the people of the United States, by disregarding par tisanship, forgetting selfish interest, thinking only of the supremacy of right and determined to vindicate the majesty of our ideals and to se-I cure the safety of Americans and civilization, can do this great and

CONDITIONS HORRIBLE.

Peking, Feb. 6-(Correspondence of The Associated Press)- "But, daddy, it's cold" said the little girl, when her father brought her to a hole in the ice and told her to jump in.
 Never mind, you must get in," re- piled the father. So he put her in and returned home, with one mouth less to feed.
 This, says the Peking Daily News, is typical of what is happening in Anp'ing and adjoining districts, fifty miles south of Faotingfu in Chihli province. Some days ago baby was found deposited on the ground in Milf village. The mother was traced to another part of the village. She ex- plained that her home was in ruins, there was no food, her husband had gone away some four years ago at a previous flood time, and she had all ready thrown this baby into the we'll twice, but it had been rescued by neighbors.
 On December 14th the P'u't'ao- -ho river in this district caused a great flood owing to the blockage of ice. The villagers suddenly found water pouring into the streets and into the houses. The men had all they could do to rescue their women, children and old folks getting them or to the roofs of the houses.
 There, on the roofs, in bitter cold, they lived and slept for three days until the ice was frozen solid. Now they have got back into the houses where the ice under their feet is one or two, or even three feet deep. Most of their belongings are buried in this ice. They are eating watery con- coction of dead leaves. When the frost breaks the river is almost cer- tain to overflow again. The ice in the houses will melt. Within and without, all will be water. The houses will dissolve and collapse. Destruction awaits these people un- less they can be removed beforehand to safe places.
 In this district of Anp'ing there are over 100000 people in distress owing to the floods. One hundred and eigh- ty villages are affected, but it is on- ly small number that have suffered from this last calamity of ice. About 40 villages are in extreme distress. The people are reduced to burning the timbers of their houses and their fruit trees. There has, of course, all ready been wholesale slaughtering of animals throughout the flooded areas, so that it is a serious question how crops can be sown in the spring.

LECTURER TO
 APPEAR HERE
Dr. Charles T. Wheeler Will Talk At Court House Friday Night On
 Subject of Kaiser Doomed"

According to reports from other Arkansas cities and towns like Hot Springs, Little Rock, Pine Bluff, Fort Smith, one of the greatest treats is in store for Newport, in the lecture of Dr. Chas. T. Wheeler of Chicago. Illinois, Friday night. "The Kaiser Doomed" is the subject, and it is her aided as one of the greatest war ad- dresses ever given. Dr. Wheeler is a forceful speaker who knows his sub- .ject we'll and is absolutely at home on the platform. His visit here is in support of the Salvation Army war fund campaign.
 The Chamber of Commerce at it's directors meeting endorsed this campaign, under whose auspices it will be conducted. Mayor A. T. Hubby was elected chairman, w. T. Parish, treasurer and Harry Grimes, secretary.
 It comes as a surprise to many of our people to know the great work the Salvation Army is doing. The organization conducts more than $50 huts, hotels and restrooms for the boys. These workers are so close to the battle line that upon instruction of General Pershing they are provid- ed with steel helmets, gas masks, etc. Besides the 50 field ambulances of the Salvation Army, working in cooperation with the Red Cross, have transported more than 100000 wound ed soldiers. Also hundreds of Salva- tion Army buildings are being used now as hospitals and homes for wom- en and children. Uncle Sam has ac- cepted 107 of their buildings to be used when the need arises. 50,00O Salvationists are fighting with the British armies, besides thousands with other nations including our own.
 Brig. General c. B. Duncan of Pershing's staff said, "The Salvation Army has stepped very closely into the hearts of the men. The Salvation Army has real place for it's activi- ties with our army in France"
 Colonel F. H. Lawton, now in France, writes: "I have carefully ob- served the work of the Salvation Ar my from it's first arrival in the train ing area and in my opinion it has done more for the enlisted men of the First Division than any other organ ization or society operating in France"
 We could go on in this fashion, but this is not necessary. Sufficient to say that this work as the endorse ment of the president, War Secretary Baker, Gov. Brough, National and State Council of Defense.
 Wherever the Salvation Army has asked Arkansas people for money for this war work, it has been forthcom- ing, and we have no doubt that when the opportunity presents itself, our people here in Newport will gladly subscribe the desired $1200.

Associated Press Dispatch.

British Headquarters in France, March 27.-Germans last night con- tinued their furious onslaughts south westward from Ham against the al lied defenses in the region of Rove and Noyon, having slowed down their patent attempt to cut through the British line further north, where X desperate resistance was offered.
 There was hard fighting last night about the town of Albert. From last accounts the British were holding the enemy doggedly at this possible gate way of Amiens. Indications point to the Germans attempting to split the allied front in the Roye-Noyon re- zion by starting rolling up process.
 From the average casualties among various German units, given by pris- oners, one arrives at the conclusion that Germans have lost fifty per cent of these men in their advance.
 Fresh enemy forces were flung into the southern phase of the defensive late yesterday. Achievements in- clude the famous Prussian guards. Latest reports merely chronicle a sanguinary struggle without indicat- inga change in the situation. North of Albert the attack was broken against the British line and recoiled. North of this point the situation is unchanged. The appalling slaughter of the attacking masses continues. Undoubtedly the Germans expected some such result and probably have not all their cards have been played.
 The estimate of the loss of fifty her cent made in the above is taken to indicate the casualties are more { than four hundred thousand.

before the allied defense, which grows stronger hourly. In the north the enemy is definitely checked. In the south, where his latest and most important gains were made he is un- able to push west of Rove and Noyon.
 The British line from the Scarpe southeast through Albert to the Som- me has held fast during the past twenty hours. The Germans repulsed local attacks on the front here and are now west of the old Somme battlefield, eighteen miles northeast of Amiens.
 South of the Somme the Germans advanced to the old front before be- ginning the Franco British offensive in 1916, but have not yet gained it west of Rove.
 Bitter fighting continues south of the Somme, but the enemy was check ed west of the Roye-Noyon sector. Further advance in this sector might endanger the French hold on the southern bank of the Disc.
 Haig reports American troops are fighting on this front. The identity of the American units has not been disclosed. Probably they form part of the Franco-American reserves from the Aisne and Champagne fronts.
 From Noyon eastward to La Fere the French are holding strong posi- tions along the Disc.
 It is reported unofficially from Berlin that French and American troops carried out strong attacks against the pivot of the German line without success.
