The killing occurred in the river swamp a few miles from town, where Mr. Davis, Sheriff Rowel 1 and Jesse Davis, brother to the rural policeman, went to arrest the negro for whom the rural policeman held a warrant for trapping. Seeing the party approaching, the negro grabbed his | gun and barricaded himself in his. ^ hdiise, shooting through a rear win-j dow and killing Mr. Davis instantly.' Further effort to capture the negro was not made because of the dark ness and the necessity of procuring recruits to effect the arrest. Mr. Davis was a splendid officer and had served in the capacity of I rural policeman eight years. He is j survived by a widow and four c hi I -1 Ult'll. (Telephone messages came to the authorities hero Tuesday to be on the I vat h for this negro who seems to have made good his escape.-Ed.) 4 < o Pay for the Herald to-day. Put your account in advance.

QCDMAMO CI CCIIIP ULlllVIHIlO rLLLIIIU ON 50 MILE FRONT I Retreat May Become Disaster For the Rattled German Armies On a front of virtually fifty miles, from just below Ypres to a point near Peronno on the Somme, the Ger man armies are in retreat. This retrograde movement is not a voluntary one on the part of the enemy but has been forced by the series of unremitting hammer blows infic.ted by Marshal Pooh in the past six or seven weeks. It has now been accelerated by the notable victory won by Field Marshal llaig yesterday in breaking through the strongdefensive lines protecting the railway centers of Pouai and Cambrai and threatened to outflank even th( main mndonburg lino south to St. Quentin. Already the taking of 10,000 prisoners by the British in titer advance is reported and the German casualties in killed and wounded are declared to have been notably heavy as their thickly massed forces felt the force of the British blow. So pronounced and so speedy is the German retirement that it seems as if the enemy, if he has not met with disaster, is perilously on the verge of one. In what appears like an effort to escape in time, the scope o.f the German retirement which had been proceeding somewhat leisurely both north and south of the Sonimo has been markedly accentuated north of that river. In this move the important French coal mining city of Lens, at the gates of which the British pounded vainly virtually all last year, has been evaluated, the British moving in. To the north, in Flanders, the retreat is continuing and the British have further closed up the Lys salient by taking possession of Wulvorghem, two miles south of Kemmel. GREAT ROUNDUP OF MOONSHINERS \Y ash in ton.?The biggest intensive round-up of illicit whiskey distillers ever undertaken by the govern- j ment has just been completed in Southern mountain districts by revenue agents, aided by local officials, under direction of Internal Revenue Commissioner Daniel C. Roper. TIk" activities of the agents resulted in he seizure of 4S(> stills, arrest of 20 ) Moonshiners, killing of five outlaws ml two rherilfs and wounding of a uimber of other government men an i '(jiior makers. - o WAR SAVINGS CUB GROWS.

If you have purchased the stamps necessary to entitle you to membership in one of the clubs, see to it that you get a button and look for yon: name in the paper.

Machinery of the provost marshal general's olfice was set in motion to carry out the second great enrollment under a presidential proclamation issued soon after the president had signed the new man power act extending the draft ages. The bill, 4|iX,v, 1 - A ? vwhiimi'umi, was sent to the White House for the president's signature today soon after the house and senate convened. It is estimated that at least 12,778,758 men will register this time, compared with nearly ten million on the first registration of men from 21 to 31 on June 5, 1917. Of those who enroll now it is estimated that 2,300,000 will be called for general miliary service, probably two-thirds of the number coming from among the 3,500,000 or more between the ages of 18 and 21. General March has said all registrants called into the army will be in France before next June 30, swelling the American expeditionary force to more than the 4,000,000 men expected to win the war in 1919. The last to he called will he the youths in their 18th year, but those of that age who desire and who have the necessary qualification may he inducted into service on October 1, for special technical or vocational trnini.m MEXICANS FIGHT WITH OUR TROOPS Nogales, Ariz.?One American officer fell fighting it\ the streets of Nogales late today, one civilian was killed, another oll'icer wounded seriI ously and between ten and 20 American soldiers killed during the skirmish which took place along the international avenue between American troops and Mexicans in Nogales, Sonora. Approximately lf> Americans were wounded, including Lieut. Col. Frederick 11. Herman, who was shot through the right leg while commanding the American troops, but continued in command on crutches. Lieut. Col. Frederick J. Herman, commanding troops at Nogales, was among the American soldiers wounded in a two hour fight with Mexicans which started when United States sentries were fired upon Tuesday by Mexicans. Several hundred troops engaged the Mexicans and drove them well back into their town. The American soldiers fired from housetops and other points of vunteage. The casualties are not known at this time. The Mexicans hoisted a flag of truce, but continued firing and sniping was going on at 7 p. m. Unim* ?nr dropping thick and fast in Nogales, Ariz. One civilian Gaston Keddock, was wounded. A conference has been called between American and Mexican officials. The trouble was supposed to have started as a result of an attempt on the part of the Mexican immigration official to pass a fellow countryman across the border illegally. American sentries drew guns and Mexicans fully armed came from all directions and aided the Mexicans on the lin > until they were driven back. There were a hundred Mexican Casualties.
