ARMIES PREPARE
 FUR NEXT MOVE
Active Fighting Operations Have Been Halted and Germans Are
 Moving Up Troops.
Associated Press Dispatch.

ASSOclaCeQ freSS DlSpaCcH.
 New York April 2O.-Active fight ing operations have been halted for the time being while the opposing armies prepare for the next on- slaught. The Germans are moving up new troops and supplies along the Lys river and it is not improba- ble that the enemy will again attack either in Picardy or in Flanders. The Germans cannot afford to stop now if they would attempt to crush the allies while they yet have strength.
 On the other hand the allies are believed now to be in better position for overpowering the offensive than before the German offensive began Haig's fabian tactics having proven more than match for the enemys head-on rushes.
 In Flanders and Artois, north of Arras, opposing artillery is active On the right bank of the Mouse probably in the American sector south of Verdun, American and French troops carried out small raids on the enemy trenches and several casualties were inflicted on the Germans. German artillery is active in this region.

SCHOOL CONTEST
 |s CLOSED TODAY
One Of the Outstanding Features Of the Meet Is Necessities For
 Another Hotel.

Every inch of space at the school auditorium was filled Friday after noon and evening to hear the con- testants in the various public school studies. The stage had been made very pretty in the school colors, gold and black, with American flags oc- cupying prominent places. The number of visitors makes Newport feel the need more than ever of more adequate hotel accommodations The Hazel hotel, however, stored away" about one hundred and fifty, besides the regular transient trade. The homes of the city were open to large numbers also for sleeping and break fast, which made it possible to enter tain the big crowd.
 In the contest in the afternoon when voice, violin and reading com posed the program, and when three of the most cherished loving cups were in view, it was interesting to watch the rivalry between the con- testants.
 In voice, Miss Mary Johnson, of Searcy, won first, with Miss Della Jofferies, of McCrory, second Both young ladies had splendid voices and the judges decisions were very close. In the reading contest Newport was an easy winner, and it was some shout that greeted our Helen Me Donald at the conclusion of her se- lection, "A Matrimonial Storm" " Newport was proud of her and we were confidently expecting to keep this cup at home. Walnut Ridge, which never fails to carry home a cup, came second in the reading when | ----
