UNWILLING OF
SERVICE FLAG.

I A large crowd was in attendance at
the Christian Church Sunday morning
to witness and take part in the unvei-
ing of the Service Flag in honor of the
young men from that church who have
given their services to the army and
the navy of their country. This flag
was made and presented in few well
chosen words by Mrs. w. A. Price who
has herself given three splendid sons to
her country's cause, one of whom is
already somewhere in France" She
was assisted by Mrs. Prather in pre-
senting this flag which measures 20x40
feet. The field is of white with an
eleven inch border of red and there are
eleven blue stars on this field repres-
enting the eleven boys in the service.
The first star was covered with gold
showing that the boy for which il
stands, Heidel Sanford. has passed on
TO a higher service. The other rep
resented were, Gus Dunn, John Dunn.
Charlie Dunn, Ben Woods. Billy Swope,
Ashley Swope, Chenault Elmore, Tom
Elmore, Lucien Grant, and John Nc
Roberts. Two more stars standing for
Stanley Heron and Sam Heron, are
to be added. One of these bows is in
the Philippines and the otherin France.
A church flag. "a purple cross on
field of white. was also presented and
for some time the stars and stripes
have hung from the pulpit of this
church. A beautiful and impressive
program was rendered consisting of
religious and patriotic hymns alternat.
ing with responsive seriptural reading.
aud closed as the entire audience rose
and salutsd the flag and sung the stir
ring song,
God save our splendid men
bring them safe home again
God save our men.
Make them victorious.
Noble ana ehiyalrious.
They are dear to Us.
God save our men -

GERMANS OBJECT
 NOT MADE CLEAR
Uncertain Whether They Aim at Channel or Seek to Widen Base of Wedge-British Keep New Thrust Moving Slowly.

Washington, April 11.-In today's reports from France on the battle in the Armentieres region, military ob- servers here read with much satis- faction of the British counter-attacks which overcame much of the first ad- vantage gained by the Germans. The situation was not sufficiently clarified however, to determine whether the German attack is separate move ment aimed at the channel ports or an extension of the Amiens onslaught, designed to widen the base of the wedge aimed at that town.
 In any case, the British have not allowed the new thrust to gain any great momentum, despite the evacua- tion of Armentieres. The town has been under fire constantly and had no strategic advantage. Its evacua- tion was made certain by the extent of the first penetration of the British lines on both sides, leaving at the apex of a narrow and dangerous wedge
 Some officers believe the whole movement in this region is designed by German strategists to offset similar danger on far greater scale to their own main front of operations to the south. The advanced German troops in the Amiens action are 25 to 30 miles beyond the general trend of the line which they assaulted when the drive began three weeks ago. The width of the break in that line is from 50 to 50 miles
 This situation fulhlls to a remark able degree the forecasts of the Yer sailles military experts that the Ger man drive might he successful in penetrating the lines to the extent of half of the width of the sector as- sailed and it is assumed that the al- lied council calculated when the pre- diction was made that having driven this far, the enemy would be compell- ed to seek to widen his battle front.
 The consideration that entered into the formulation of the Versailles pre- dction are unknown. Some officers believe, however, that experience has taught the generals who formed it, that no attack against a fortified line can be safe if the base of the triangle, the front of the attack, is less than double the length of the distance penetrated.

Liberty Loon subscriptions for the first four s-n;nr days of the campaign ended ,..t n;ght reported by banks and ..ns+ companies in 10 of the 12 fed ar.l reserve districts amount to $275,- o,eoOO. They represent pledges hacked up by first payments but since many banks reports were not includ- ,d in thiss total and two districts, philadelphia and Minneapolis, were missing from the tabulation, it is be- leved the actual total is near $4OO,- OMCOO. The New York district alone reported $1S1 100000.
 Reports of other districts follow: Chicago. sS5, 5,910,000; Boston, $35, 5,500,- OOO: Dallas, $11,762,7 TOO; Richmond, s7s1O,66O; Kansas City, $1,611, ,000; Atlanta, S1, ,599, $50; St. Louis, $1 1,394,- 100; San Francisco, $1,123,650.
 These figures will increase rapidly within day or two, officials said, as banks and trust companies get into the habit of reporting promptly.
 Nearly every message from the banks and local campaign committees today indicated that the number of subscribers is far greater than during the second loan campaign. In the New England district 35,000 persons have subscribed.
 Another feature is that the TOO com munities which have subscribed their full quotas and won the honor flag are continuing their efforts.
 The first big "class meeting" of the loan will be held by tomorrow night in 100000 rural school houses over the country. Thousands of speakers have been engaged. A mes- sage from Secretary McAdoo will be read and the loan terms will be ex- plained.

BRITISH HOLD FIRM AT
 THE VITAL POINTS
Although Germans Gain Over Front of 30 Miles-Defenders Forced Out of Armentieres, When Nearly Surrounded.

New York, April 11.-Swinging his heaviest legions and mightiest guns far to the north of the Picardy battle field, Field Marshal von Hindenburg now is driving attack after attack against the British lines between Ar ras and Ypres. Charging across the level country behind a tempest of high explosive and gas shells, the Ger mans have succeeded by terrific fight ing in penetrating the British de- lenses at points over front of near ly 30 miles to depth of almost six miles just south of Ypres.
 The loss of Armentieres is admitted by the British, but this was expected. The enemy had driven in on both sides of the town and holding out longer by the British would have imperiled the whole line. So far as known, the withdrawal of the British forces from Armentieres was orderly and was only for the purpose of strengthening out the line in the region where the Ger man pressure is the heaviest.
 The British have stood firm at vital points along the line. Wytschaete is still held by Field Marshal Haig's men who also maintain their grip on Mes sines ridge, Lestrem, Ploegsteert and Ploegsteert wood and Hollebeke, against which furious assaults have been made only to break down or be nullifed by British counter-attacks. A terrific attack made against Holle- beke and Wyteschaete was repulsed with great loss to the Germans.
 This particular part of the battle line in the west has been the scene of terrible fighting for nearly four years,
 Armentieres marked the farthest retirement in this region of French BritiN1 and Belgians in August and SepteN Der. 1914. Just north, near Ypres, the Germans on April p, 1915. first loosed on the Canadian troops their poisonous gas and here, on De- cember 19, the same year, they drove hard at the thin line of Canadians in desperate effort to reach Calias. On both occasions the Canadians beat back the enemy and held their lines.
 Nearby the British launched their counter offensive in February, 1916, and withstood furious attacks during April and May the same year.
 The drive south of Ypres has de- veloped into major operation, it would appear, and the Germans, us- ing their massed attack system, are disregarding their terrible losses. So far they have gained little of great tactical value. The high ground along the front is still held by the British forces and the retirements here and there have not as yet endangered the line from Arras to the North Sea.
 While this battle is going on there is a lull in the struggle before Amiens.

CLERKS WANTED TO

Little Rock, April 12.-There is an urgent call going out over the state, to county Councils of Defense and other agencies for clerical assistance for the local draft boards.

 In circular of instructions to the county chairmen, State Director Town send urges that each one make it his business to see that Arkansas does not fall short of it's duty in this emer- gency. He adds:
 Arkansas has never failed to re- spond promptly and overwhelmingly to any call made upon it, and we must not fail this time. You know the need of men in France at this very minute and nothing we can say would be able to add to the urgency of this telegram and your realization of the need that exists for prompt action"
