Changing Her Tune

year ago Germany derided the effects Of
the entrance of the United States into the great
war. She looked upon us as a spineless nation,
busily absorbed with making money and unable
to enter martial pursuits with heart and soul.
She Knocked our troops and ridiculed our fighting
strength.
Today she has changed that tune. The Of
ficial arbiters and manufacturers of public opin-
ion in Germany are now urging the German peo-
pie to last supreme military effort in order
that the Allies may be crushed before our full
strength begins to exert itself the battle
front.
This may explain her feverish haste and
reckless abandon in slaughtering thousands Of
men in the great offensive against the British
armies about Amiens in the south and Arn1en-
there's in the north. The danger arising to Ger
many from the massing of American troops in
France and Flanders is seen in the statement of
Captain Persius, military critic of the Berner
Tageblatt, in which he says: 1T is certain that
America will, in the very near future, succeed in
amassing armies which will constitute very
valuable aid for our enemies"
The one chance for German victory lies in her
ability to force decisive action before Amer-
can troops and artillery in sufficient numbers ar
rive to make formidable reserve for the ut-
Zation of French and British commanders.
Hence, Ludendorff and Hindenburg are gambling
wildly that the massed attacks which they are
hurting daily against the British along the north
ern and southern fronts of their line will succeed
in bringing about the contamination which the
German general staff so ardently desires.
So far every effort of the Central Powers to
lure the Allies into a decisive battle has been
frustrated and every week and month that Cen
eral Foch gains in foiling the German strategy
means a weakening of Teuton man power and
strengthening of the military position of the

Allies. Concievably the Germans are gaining
nothing by the slaughter Of whole divisions if
the sacrifice does not bring about the decision
which the German general staff hopes to attain.
Conversely the quicker America PUSHES her
troops across the Atlantic and supports them
with artillery the stronger grows the position OF
the Allies. This accounts for the speeding up OF
the transportation of American troops across the
Atlantic.
The same motive ought to prompt every
tent with the government in fastening the train
ing and dispatch of our troops and the manufac-
ture of munitions.
But Germany's new worry about America s
participation in the conflict has another import
ant angle. Not only the Junkers and war lords
fear the effect of Americas strength, but also
the industrial and commercial barons are begin
ming to see situation that did not enter into
their calculations year ago.
Into their minds has percoated the fear of
an industrial crisis that will follow the conclus-
ion of the war Suppose, they are asking them
Selves that after the war the United States re-
mains hostile to German shipping and bars the
expectation of raw products which the Central
Powers need badly for their industrial centers !?
Suppose the United States enters upon COM
mercial war, boycotts Germany, puts her indus
trial leaders and mercantile barons on the black
list?
The propaganda writer's of the Berlin gov
eminent recently have taken up this phase of
the conflict and are busy swinging over the
workmen with pictures of the dire straits in
which they will find themselves after the war if
the Allies win, with the hope of arousing anew
the fighting spirit of the people which is weary
of the slaughter and dulled by privaton and suf-
fering.
The purpose of the propaganda, of course is
clear to every American The war lords must
animate the tagging spirit of the people and
find some excuse for the frightful slaughter
which the Allies have inflicted upon the troops
that the Kaiser sent into the offensive. On the
other hand, we must admit that this propaganda,
designed to keep public opinion in line with the
Kaiser's imperial policy, will have it's effect in
renewing the faith of portion of the population
in the ultimate victory of his armies.
This new propaganda is a challenge to the
American people. If Germany now admits that
American arms are decided factor in settling
the conflict and affecting the future commercial
and industrial status of Germany, let it be our
high duty to see that our men and munitions
put the battlefield in time to turn the tide
toward a decisive victory for the Allies.
Germany has put everything to the test We
have accepted her challenge, and by the grace of
God let's prove that right, justice, humanity
civilization and religion are greater than autoc-
racy, pillage, rapine murder, spoliation of neu-
raj tori Of o1v
pedoing of neutral vessels.

Will Brown, aged 22, is dead, and his wife, aged 20, may succumb as a result of burns sustained Monday af- ternoon at 5 o'clock when the steam boat, Lottie, anchored in White river at Newport, opposite the Iron Moun- tain railroad yards, was destroyed by fire as a result of an explosion. Young Brown died Tuesday morning and the body was taken in charge by he Hayden Holloway Company, un dertakers.
 Brown was horribly burned about the face, arms and back, and his sui fering was intense. Mrs. Brown was burned about the limbs, but she will probably recover.
 The young man, who was pilot and engineer on the Lottie, and his wife were married two weeks ago.
 The tragedy occurred when Brown lighted the torch of the crude oil en- zine preparatory to making trip up the river. George Holderby, who had the boat leased from A. C.. Solo, man, came on the boat and told Brown to extinguish the torch, as they could not leave until they secur- ed ice.
 Brown attempted to extinguish the torch on the engine and some of the | fire fell to the floor of the boat and ignited piece of cork. He picked up the cork and tried to throw it out of window, but he cork fell in five gallon coal oil can which contained about three gallons of oil. The ex- posion followed, the engine room be- ing covered almost immediately by the flames The fire spread quickly, the clothing of MT. and Mrs. Brown becoming ignited, and their efforts to escape were futile.
 Drs., G. K. Stephens annd c. R. Gray were called, and the wounds were treated.
 MT. Holderby says the damage to the Lottie, which was used in haul ing timber on White river, is about S1 ,OOO, with no insurance. He says the machinery is damaged very little. IA barge lying nearby caught

Associated Press Summary)

Austria's armies again are beyond the Piave with the Italian line along the Piave, apparently stronger than before the present battle, once more barring the enemy from the Venetian plains. The Italians crossed the river at some points and occupied strong bridgeheads on the eastern bank. Every hour brings reports of in- craasing Austrian losses. General Diaz reports forty thousand prisoners were taken and one report places the Austrian casualties at two hundred thousand. The enemy also has lost large stores of munitions and guns.
 Vienna admits the retirement, but Asserts the weather and the flooded condition of the Piave are responsi- ble. Apparently, however, the flood was felt as quickly as it rose and the river bed was dry when the Austrian retreat began.
 Operations on the mountain front are at standstill.
 Premier Lloyd George told the House of Commons yesterday that another German effort is coming within few days and that the allied armies are ready to combat it.
 Americans have cleared the Bel leau Woods of Germans and some prisoners and five machine guns were taken in operations. Several Americans are missing as a result of enemy raids in Alsace.

 Owing to the scarcity of all kinds of commodities, robberies and bur- glaries have greatly increased, and even in the first-class hotels and guests do not venture to leave their clothing or shoes outside their doors for cleaning.

ENLISTED MEN OF FIRST, SECOND AND THIRD

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, June 25.-All the en- listed men of the old First, Second and Third Arkansas regiments, are in France, where they have been taken to fill other units. The officers and non-commissioned officers are left at Camp Beauregard for the purpose of training a new division of troops.
 A total of 4,5OO men was moved from Camp Beauregard in command of Maj. H. w. McAllister, former dean of Ouachita celloge at Philadelphia. The detachment was delivered in France with the record of not one man being absent without leave. The identity of the old Arkansas units, as separate organizations, is therefore lost, and the men will be placed where needed to fill up gaps in other units. Most of them have had months of training at Camp Pike and later at Camp Beauregard, and many were on the border during the Mexi- can trouble.
