Germans Gaining in Center Line Be
tween Nay on and Mont Didier—
French Counter Attacking.
Associated Press Dspatch.
New York, June 11—Moving stead
ily, despite frightful losses, the Ger
mans continue to gain here and there
in the center line between Noyon and
Mont Didier. The enemy’s greatest
advance is at Vigemont, six miles
from the line as it stood Saturday.
The French are launching counter at
tacks on the left line, apparently
along Aronde river, forcing back the
Germans in this section. This is re
garded as a possible indication that
the French have decided to make a
final stand there. Further east, how
over, the Germans are making most
telling gains, having advanced along
the right bank of the Oise to Antoual
on Crest Hills, about the important
town of Ribecourt. French admit the
withdrawal of their line of resistance
to the west and south of Ribecourt.
Battle may now be considered as hav
ing entered a critical stage.

FIRE LOSSES DECREASED
FROM 60 to 36 PER CENT
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, May 11.—Within a
few days the annual report of Bruce
T. Bullion, state fire marshal and
Insurance Commissioner, will be com
pleted, and it is expected to prove a
most interesting document. In the
first year of the office, the fire
losses have decreased from 60 per
cent of the premiums paid, to 36 per
cent .
Fire Marshal Bullion does not
claim credit for this decrease in loss
es, but he does think his department, '
with the special men running down
all suspicious fires, is entitled to a
portion of it. He is at least proud
of the record his department has
made. While there have been no
convictions, there have been a num
ber of mistrials, and the defendants
have been forced to resort to post
ponements in most of the cases.
