Washington. Sept 30-The out
standing event of the day on the west
ern battlefront was the swift forward
rush of Belgian and British forces in
Flanders.
Observers here saw more than a
hint of weakening in the morale OF
the Germans, duep robably to the fact
OF poorer troops being assigned to this
sector, which has long been quiet.
Therei plain evidence that the en-
envy was taken completely by surprise
Even the penetration of Cambria and
the certainty OF its complete occupa-
tion by the British was overshadowed
by the development on the northern
flank of the Lille-Roubaix-T urcoing
triangle. strategic coup appears to
have ben achieved which will drop
these towns in the laps of the allies
without necessity of a costly frontal
attack.

High Praise by
War Work Leader

considers the training camp activities
of the utmost Importance to the win
ming of the war. as nothing goes fur
ther toward building up the morale
Of the army.
There seems a tendency in some
communities to look only towards the
material side of the work. But here
in Pensacola it seems to me that the
work has struck deeper than that. The
organization is interested In having
a commodious club house, and In all
the things that go to make UP the
physical side Of the work But un-
DERIVING all this there seems to be a
wonderful spirit which has reached
out to the men and has brought them
very close to the people OF the city.
The men and women who are at the
head OF the work here are certainly
to be congratulated in the scope of
the work, and the city and the service
are most fortunate in the spirit that
is manifested here, for it is the COM
munity spirit thai we want, for that
is the great thing We are striving for,
to bring men and the community into
closer union"
hen asked for an expression in re-
gard to the work in Pensacola, Lewis
K. Brown. district representative paid
high tribute to the work of Stacy A.
Bowling, Pensacola's first executive.
Mr.. Brown said: He schooled Pen
sacola, and was schoOled by Pensa-
cola, and made such a splendid record
in and for your city that we had to
take him away from you and give him
a bigger field. He is now at the head
of the work in Chattanooga, a city
ten times the size Of Pensacola, and
we know he will make a record there
as he has here"
When asked why Pensacola had
been chosen for the conference of the
southern division, Mr.. Brown said that
it was because the work of the war
camp community service here is known
all over the United States. and it's
reputation is such that the officials
wanted other workers to see what
had been accomplished in Pensacola.
"In looking forward to next years
work. said MIR. Brown, I'VE recognize
the fact that Pensacola's record is
far above the average"

BATEsv|LLE MAN
 UNDER ARREST

Duane Swift, whose home is at Batesville, but who has been princi- pal of the high school at DeQueen for the past two years, was arrested this week by federal officers, charg- ed with violation of the espionage act. He was released on $500 bond.
 It is alleged Swift issued circulars protesting against the war and quot ed Bible to prove that all wars are wrong. He said he would rather be placed against wall and shot than serve in the army.
 He says that he is preacher and predicts that God will soon destroy Tu4key and Germany.
 Young Swift is the son of A. D. Swift, of Batesville, who has gained considerable notoriety in this section of the state because of his claim to knowledge of the Bible as it con- cerns the war and it's outcome and his opposition to the present conflict.

AT
 SWIFTON FINE

N. D. Moon and Son, of Swiftons have ginned about seventy-five thouS- and dollars worth of "bolls" this sea- son, and have about two weeks run on hand. This represents saving to the far- mers of this section of thousands of dollars worth of cotton that would have been wasted but for the instal~ lation of the boll-thresher.
 They have ginned about two thous- {, and bales of cotton all together this' season, which is more than they ginned last season; this increase II due to the satisfactory service rem dered and the extra business brought in by the boil thresher.
 i MT. Moon says that they will cut down the acreage of cotton on their farms this year about 15 per cent and increase the acreage of food and feed crops, especially corn, oats and hay.

PASSING IF THE

Travelling Dancing Girls Will Not Be Allowed to Exhibit Within the
 Corporation Limits Hereafter.

Chief of Police Gus Martin an- nounces that Newport has decided not to tolerate the "49" show again for at least two years, and thascounty license has been put so high that it is hardly probable that the dancers will find it profitable to stretch their tent anywhere within the coun- ty limits.
 City and county officials are due a vote of thanks for having rendered this decision. For years the city has been visited by these performers who give dances under tent and whose form of dancing is very repul- sive, and the passing of the Days of "'49" will be welcomed by the citi- izenship and this county.

Reference of the war office arl- nouncement to an attack east of Ar ras evidently means the Germans have widened their battlefront, de- livering a new stroke on the north. The battle begun last week has ex- , tended only as far north as the river Scarpe. Attacks developing today may mark the beginning of a second phase battle. The possibility that the Germans will drive for the coast, with the channel and ports of Calais and Dunkirk as their objectives, was dis cussed today.
