PRESCOTT, ARKANSAS

It has often been insinuated by the liquor interests in the United States that France, after giving prohibition trial in her armies, decided tc abandon it on the ground that the troops required "a certain amount of artificial stimulation" There appears to have been some relaxation of rules here and there, regarding the use of liquors in the French service, for which, however, official sanction has been lacking. At all events it is sufficient answer to all insinuations of the kind referred to that the French army authorities have just is- sued decree forbidding the selling or consumption of alcoholic drinks in the war zone. And this is done toward the close of the fourth year of the conflict, after the accumulation of vast amount of evidence going to prove that total abstainers make the best soldiers.

The selective service,-a term that is preferable to the draft" is a great leveler. Great companies of young men come to the city with few per sonal effects in grip, possibly on- ly bundle carried over the shoulder They come, for the most part, just as they left their vacations, some dress ed in blue jeans jumpers as they come from the far nor factory, others in neat business suits from the store or professional life, and still others at tired with all the care and sartorial perfection wealth might insure. The boy from the slums or from the poor hillside farm, who could not have raised enough money to come to camp, kept step with the milonaire's son, and between them was quickly estab- lished that comity which bodes i'll for the future of the Kaiser. Last week among those who reported for duty was Missouri young man who is said to be worth $16,000,0O0 in his own name. But on the roll of his country's prospective fighting men, he ranked no higher than the poor fruit vended on the corner from whom he had bought apples and oranges. So war becomes the Great Leveler, and so firmly fixed will have become this fellowship of individuals during the war, that after peace is declared the lines of demarkation will be less dis tinct and will have lost their counter felt sacredness.

The crop this year is far below normal, the maximum it is believed will not exceed 300 cars from the Highland orchard. Although the quality of the peaches this year is not as good as in previous years, very few culls are being found and the crop as a whole will bring an attractive price. The minimum amount that has been shipped from the Bert Johnson or chards at Highland in season, around a thousand cars which is con sidered normal crop. The culls this year are selling for $1.00 per bushel. These of course are not shipped but are sold to local buyers.

NEW COUNT
OF PRISONERS
But Total Is Growing Rap

Utterly Crushed
NV Assnciated Press.

London, Aug. 10.-~(4:40 P. M.)-No
further count Of prisoners had come
in at this hour, but the total is prob
ably mounting rapidly because Of the
DISCRIMINATION of the Germans.
The allied casualties including all
the killed, wounded and missing, are
less than 5000, or not more than one
fourth Of the number Of prisoners
counted. On the other hand German
casualties have been tremendously
heavy.
Eleven German divisions have been
not only defeated in the fighting of
the last three days, but so utterly
crushed that the German higher COM
nand has been unable TO make
any counter stroke anywhere.
The German communications have
been so disorganized that thus far
only two divisions of reserves have
been Identified, and these new troops
have not been able to make any i'm"
preston on the advancing allies.
No further definite news from the
American forces on the northern flank
ofthe fighting front has reached Lon
don since noon, when the accounts Of
their successes in the MorlancouFt
region were at hand. There is every
indication, however, that they are
pushing ahead.
