PEACE AND PRICES

One Of the first statements coming
from the War Department following
the signing Of the armistice, was TO the
effect that more than billion doilars
worth Of contracts had been cancelled.
That was but the beginning Of the re-

Roughly calculated the trade bsro-

In July, 1914 Statistics furnished by
z. G. Dun show that provisions, cloth
ing, metals, and every kind Of COM
modify doubled and trebled in prices
between July l, 1860 and September
/, 1864. The effects Of our Civil Wa.
also radically affected prices in the
European nations. The end Of the
Civil War was insight in the fall Of
1864, and the decline in prices dates
from that period Il continued until
the midsummer Of 1863 In all COM
modities the peace decline amounted

CONSIDERING SHAVE
 MILL FOR PRESCOTT
Philadelphia Milling Go. is Offer. ing to Locate Finishing Mill Here, Provided City Will D0- nate S1,50O for Site.

A nasty meeting of the business men of the city was called this after noon at 1;30 for the purpose of con- sidering a proposition offered by the Philadelphia Milling Company for the establishing of slave finishing mill in the city which they guarantee will employ from thirty to forty hands and will remain in operation at least five years or longer, which depends on the amount of timber available for mak- ing slaves.
 J. A. Carr, representing the Milling company, explained the proposition to the business men at the meeting which was held at Moore & Martins office. The few business men who were present were heartily in favor of the proposition, and Judge Haynie who was elected chairman of the meeting appointed a committee com- posed of H. B. Mckenzie, M. l.. Moore and Dan Pittman to see the cltlzens personally and explain the project and raise the necessary amount asked by the company.
 The meeting this afternoon ended very satisfactorily, but it neverthe- less impressed upon the citizens the need of commercial organization for considering such propositions. The business men were asked to leave their places of business, many of whom failed because of the press of their business, and gather in little group in an agreed place. Compare this case with a project brought up before an organization of the citizens called for that purpose, rpesided over by an elected chairman and the ques- tion handled in business-like way.

. oons Have Retired in Good Order and Are Rac M Forward Over Mountains of Their Own Dead-Enemy Wibdrew Reserves From West Front For Drive-Ttanc German Pincer Drive Aimed at Amens

London, March 26.-As the end of tbe sixth day of the German drive .nrroacbes the allied retirement along M .ha fifty mile front, between Arras .rd Noyon is reaching the fortified nos;tions of the old battle line as 1t stood in 1916 before the Somme battle
 The withdrawal has been effected in good order, with heroic rear guard scbtinp that has inflicted unspeak- shle losses in blood upon the Teutons.
 The Anglo-French junction remains unbroken The British line is mo- where pierced.
 Between Bapaume and Peronne vio- lent British counter attacks have been successful in materially retarding the enemv's advance. Late tonight the British line there still formed a wedge in the attacking front.
 The moment is near, all front dis patches indicate, when the great allied strategic reserve army will be brought into play. News to this ef- feet has injected a note of hopeful, optimistic expectation into the atmos- phere both here and in Paris.
 The war of movement which broke the trench deadlock with the dawn of the first spring day is hourly gaining in momentum. The Germans, disre- garding their tremendous losses are throwing division after division, army corps after army corps, of fresh troops into the fray Their losses have compelled them, Haig reported early today, to withdraw troops from all parts of the west front.
 Tonight the foes drive, however, confined to more or less local thrusts on succeeding sectors of the fifty mile line was assuming a larger strategic aspect. The directions of his fury winged assaults began to give his ob- jectives definite shape. The offensive has developed into a titanic pincer drive aimed at Amiens, nerve center of the whole French railway and com muncation system, and Compiegne, the key to Paris.
 Koye and Noyon have admittedly iallen to the foe. The former lies 25 niles southeast of Amiens, the latter 10 the northeast of Compiegne. This places the German southern flank some 56 miles to the northeast of Paris itself.
 To the west of Noyon a fierce bat ue ragged all day. Upon it's outcome depends the fate of the French line as

Little Rock, March 27.-There is a French battle helmet on exhibition in the office of the adjutant general. It was received this week direct from the front.

far as Rheims. In their piercing ef- fort at Noyon, the Germans are try ing to outfiank that whole line. Paris was able to announce officially this afternoon that the French "were firmly holding" the left bank of the Disc.
 As the battle stood when the days communiques were issued by the French and British war offices, the Germans were held in check on the line from west of Rove to west of Noyon.
 More than seventy divisions are known to have been thus far en- gagged, Field Marshal Haig stated this in his days bulletin.
 Taking 13,000 men to division. as the basis customary since the Verdun battle, this would mean that 91O,OOO troops have been flung into the battle by the Germans in the six days of the drive.
 The German sledge hammer as- saults were concentrated during the greater part of the day, against the front from Chaulnes to Noyon, 20 miles. in a new desperate attempt to throw wedge between the French and British, whose lines now join be- tween Chaulnes and Rove, west of Nelse

MEETING OF WORKERS
 WAR SAVING CAMPAIGN
B. Il. kuhl of Texarkana, Made Interesting Talk, Explaining Advantages of War Savings Stamps as an Investment.

w aSvings campaign was held at the court house Monday night to meet B. | Il. Kuhl of Texarkana, who is the group chairman of Group Six, com prising ten counties. MT. Kuhl made very interesting talk, in which he explained the many advantages of War Savings and Thrift Stamps, as an investment, and also of their value in encouraging saving and thrift. He also showed the vital importance of every man, woman and child in the country buy ing these stamps, as a patriotic duty to our country in this great crisis. To illustrate the importance of the campaign he stated that if every in- habitant of the United States were to buy a 25c Thrift Stamp each day, this would pay the expenses of the war
 The government is urging the ne- cessity of organizing war savings societies everywhere, and MT. Kuhl told of the success of this movement in other localities, and it was decided by the workers present to proceed to organize these societies all over Ne vada county.
 The county is already organized for the War Savings campaign, by having chairman for each school district, and to intensity the county organiza- tion, to the end that War Savings societies be organized, the following gentlemen were appointed for the var ious townships in the county, to CO., operate with, and assist, the various school district chairmen:
