GERMANS CLING DESPERATELY ID
 ROYE REGION
Resistance Encountered by Both Land and River COntingents- American Troops Landed at SOlOmbOIsk.

Amsterdam, Aug. 16.-The first connected story on the advance of the entente forces southward from Archangel, northern Russia, is given in special dispatch to the Dusseldorf Nachrichten, from Stockholm. The dispatch, which is dated August l4, says:
 Last Monday six thousand entente troops, reinforced by 5000 Russians, assembled at Archangel, and the same night the order was given to proceed southeastward. Three thousand Rus sians embarked on eleven river steam CTS and a number of barges lowed by tugs, the destination of which was Kotlas on the Dvina river. The re- mainder of the troops marched along the Archangel-Vologda railway with orders to halt at Trusanovskaya, 70 miles south of Archangel.
 The f1otilla was first fired upon from both river banks near Kakutz- kaya, and a half mile further on en- countered barricade of sunken boats. which impeded further progress. Here the troops were compelled to land to await fresh orders.
 "Nor did the land troops reach their goal. They encountered their first resistance by the Soviet troops at the point where the Log river bisects the railway The entente forces halted here. This movement seemed a feint. and the main operation ap- parently is on the Dvina river.
 "Monday night there arrived at Solombolsk near Archangel four transports from which an American contingent was transferred directly to barges in the mouth of the river with out touching at Archangel.
 Admiral Kemp (British) on Mon day issued a proclamation to the Russians saying that the Moscow rulers had betrayer Russia to tpe Kaiser, who now was sending troops to destroy the liberty gained by the expenditure of so much blood"

FIRST SQUADRON
 OF J. 5. A|RPLANEs
Is DeHavilands Make Flight Be-
 hind the German LineS-Ac- tiOn Deemed Necessary to Show Machines Are Effective.

Washington, Aug. 16-General Per shing today advised the War Depart ment that early in August complete squadron of IS De Haviland airplanes, built in the United States and equip ped with Liberty motors, successfully carried out the first reconnaissance flight of American-built machines be- hind the German lines. They returned without loss.
 In making this announcement, Sec reary Baker said that General Fou- lois of the American Air Service led the expedition. This was the first re- port from General Pershing on the performance of American-built De- Havilands to be made public.
 Secretary Baker said his advices contained no other information re- garding the flight except that Lieut., Blair Thaw also was on the trip. The time and place of the flight Mir. Baker considered it advisable to withhold.
 The announcement was considered by officers as setting at rest rumors that the De Haviland machines were not success, and also as showing that the Liberty motors have now proven themselves in actual war con ditions. Whether the squadron was attacked was not stated. It would have been well able to take care of itself. however, as the machines, each carrying a pilot and observer, are equipped with four machine guns on recommendation of General Pershng, many months ago.
 No recent figures on the production of DeHaviland 4's are available and Secretary Baker would not sanction discussion of this phase of the mat ter. 1t is recalled, however, that the production of the booth machine at the plant of the Dayton Wright Com pany was recently celebrated and since then another great plant has come into quantity production
 There was much discussion of the DeHaviland As recently due to crit teal reports from the aviation service abroad on the machines first received.
 Investigation here showed, how ever, that the specific complaints were minor in character, and the fact that a full squadron has been organized and put into operation at the front shows this to have been the case.

COTTON MARKET IN
 NEW YORK PRIMER
Advance to New High Levels For the Week Scored-Weath- CT News Was Disappointment to Recent Sellers.

New York, Aug. 16.-The cotton market showed increased strength during today's trading. The general list closed firm at net advance of 93 to llS points. It seemed that the weather news was distinct disap- pointment to recent sellers.
 No further showers were reported in Texas, with the weather clear this morning. while temperatures appeared to be rising in the eastern belt. sug- gesting the possibility of less favor able reports from that section. There was also covering on the failure of hedge selling to develop on a more important scale and houses with for eign trade connections were among the buyers. No further private con dition figures were issued, but the de- tails of one of yesterdays reports were published pointing ct crop in- dication of l2.9OO,0O0 bales.
 It was reported that the British Shipping Board had allotted ocean freight room for 100000 for Septem- Der shipment. This compared unfav- orably with the allotment of 2S0,000 bales for teh same month last year, but was considered encouraging, as compared with recent figures.

NEW PROHIBITION ARTICLE
 ADOPTED BY CONVENTION

Little Rock, Aug. 1.-The consti- tutional convention yesterday recon sidered the prohibition article that had been adopted on July F. and adopted a substitute offered by Clay Sloan, chairman of the committees:
 The new article is admitted to be bone dry, puncture proof, copper riv- eted, absolutely impervious, sealing the state dramatically against any invasion of the Demon Rum.
 The new proposal follows:
 Section Tt shall be forever un- lawful for any person, firm, corpora tion or association to manufacture any intoxicating liquor of any kind in this state.
 Section 2--It shall be forever un- lawful for any person, firm, corpora tion or association to import into. de- liver, sell, own or keep within this state any intoxicating liquors of any kind, except wine for sacramental pur- poses, and alcohol for medicinal, in- dustrial or scientific purposes. The legislative power of the state shall provide adequate laws for the en- forcement of this article"
 Delegate E. P. Alldredge, of Pu- laski county, the only minister who is a members of the body, says:
 It is my judgment that the prohi- bition section of the proposed new constitution has been decidedly inn proved from every point of view. For example, the new section will make it forever impossible to manufacture liquors in Arkansas, for any purpose. The original draft allowed the manu- fracture of liquors in Arkansas for every purpose, except as beverage.
 Again, the new draft allows no liquors to come into the state, except wine for sacramental purposes. Beer, whiskey, brandy, etc, are all out lawed-no matter for what purpose it is proposed to use them. The new draft allows alcohol to be brought in- to the state, owned and used for medicinal, scientific and industrial purposes only. but no whiskey or drinkable intoxicants of any form or nature.
 1t will be seen, therefore. that the new draft conserves and reinforces all our present splendid statutory pro hibition laws. It also banishes drink able booze from Arkansas forever. If it is adopted one cannot make it, inn port it, own 1t, hold it, or have any thing to do with it.. It is to be hoped that this section will be submitted separately, so that the people of the state may have a chance to banish liquor from Arkansas forever by rati- flying this section"

USE FOR PRISONERS
They Are Wanted Because Of the In.
formation They Have.

The staff of the American forces in
Picardy. writes correspondent. knows
what officers are in command OF the
men whose road TO Paris Is barred by
Yankee fighters.
The American staff officers know
when the German soldiers have their
meals. when supplies are brought up.
how long each individual command
remains in the line, where their rest
camps arc. where their artillery is
concentrated. and in fact every detail
of the German organization.
It Is the business of the intelligence
department to find these things out.
But how does it do it?
The answer Is the reason for raids.
Must Get Germans.
Only Germans know the things that
the American staff mlist know for
successful operation. The thing TO do.
then. is 10 get Germans. Raids. there
fore. are for but one purpose-to get
prisoners. From the indcntiilcation
disc of Boche prisoner and from
papers found in his pockets. his or
ganization may be learned. Question
ing and cross questioning will always
bring out further information. and If
there are several prisoners there Is
usually at least one who Is glad
enough to be out of the line to tell
everything he knows.
Raids have been especially frequent
by all OF the armies since the big
offensive started. March q. 1t is high

ton obtained from the prisoners is
carefully gone over, checked up. and
the German order OF battle confirmed
or corrected.
"Get Us Some Boches!"
Soon after the start of the Boche Of
fcnsive word came to American gen.
eral headquarters that II was highly
important to both the French and
British that certain information be
obtained by the Americans northwest

phoned the intelligence officers at the
