Tentative Draft of Bill for Farm Loan Banks Has
 Been Completed.
FOLLOWS SYSTEM
 OF RESERVE BANKS
Each Bank Will Have Capital of Twelve Millionss and Belief Is That Farmers Will Be Enabled tO Get
 Money Below Maximum Fixed.

Washington, Dec. 24-A tentative draft of 6 bill providing for a sys- tenn of farm loan banks was com pleted today by subcommittee of the joint congressional committee on rural credits.
 The measure will be submitted to the full committee on Monday. and will be presented to both houses of congress in report soon after the session convenes after January 4.
 The scheme of rural credits evolved by the subcommittee is modelled in 8 large measure after the federal re- serve system adopted by the last con- eress. The plan provides for the es- tablishment of twelve farm mortgage banks in different sections of the country, to be located to best meet the needs of agricultural finance. Each bank will be capitalized at s12,- 0O0010 and through member banks throughout the country would loan the farmers on farm security. The bill as framed by the subcommittee would limit to per cent the Interest to be charged by the farm mortgage pdHhS OI LlOltSdSc lOduS, dlluOuSu members of the subcommittee be- lieve the usual rate would be consid- erably below that figure, owing to the various safeguards incorporated 'H the bill.
 The entire rural credits system would be under close government su- pervision, and would be under the control of a central board similar to the federal reserve board in the cur rency system. The board, located in Washington, would have strong ad- ministrative and regulative powers in the conduct of the system and of the business of the banks i'll the scheme.
 There is a strong demand for rural credits legislation among members of congress, and the administration has practically promised the representa- tives of the rural districts that action will be taken at this session of con- gross. The matter is certain to de- velop a legislative fight, however, as there is wide diversity of opinion in congress as to what direction the proposed legislation should take.

(By F. C. BERTILLI.)

Paris. Dec. 24.-The first attack M the Teutonic allies on the entente forces in Greece has come by way ot the air.
 German and Bulgarian aeroplanes have attacked the Anglo-French
 forces north of Saloniki, dropping many bombs, according to press dispatch received here 70 lay. The aeroplanes evidently operated from base at Guevgheli. which is only forty miles north Of Saloniki The allied forces in the Balkans are well equipped with both aerH- rlanes and high-angle guns French war correspondents at Sa. loniki state that the Germans and Bulgarians, after swift preparahons, are about to attack the allies ir force in Macedonia. Sixty thousand Germans are reported to be mass el at Monastir. and 36,OCo Turks i,. tha Struma valley. <, The bulk of the Bulgarian army IS concentrated in the Varda valley. The correspondent of the Paris IcIlI I al lSlCIAO lCpOI IS ludl luS' Bulgarian, Garran and Turkish troops on the Serbia-Greek frontier number nearly half a million, hut most Of the military exports figure Fthat the Germanic allies in that zion do not exceed 100000 men. The entente allies, strongly 7n- trenched on Greek soil, ar reaov to give a defensive battle to the Teutonic allies. The left wing of the entente 1 forces rests upon the Varda river, the |csnter faces the frontier near Doiran and the right wing, made mp of British corps, defends Chalcidicd. Ths allies supply of heavy guns is s,ated to be fully adequate and |the warships in the salonikl reads are ready to support the land bat teries if the battle comes beneath their guns.

WILSON AND WIFE =. LEAD MERR|MENI
 AT XMAS PARTY
Nations Executive and Bride Just Like Other
 Newly Wed Couples.

Hot Springs, Va, Dec. 24.-Presi- dent Wilson and his bride joined a dozen other honeymooning couples in leading an old-fashioned southern Christmas celebration at the Home stead hotel tonight.
 A Christmas tree, 25 feet high, was erected for the occasion, and an Sm- rrovised minstrel troupe of Virginia negroes sang and danced.
 The new mistress of the white house was the most vivacious of all the brides present, and her gracious ness of manner caused many to pre- dict 8 great social conquest for her.
 The presidential couple led the ap- rlause after each number on the program and seemed to gratly enjoy themselves.
 Im;mediately after dinner this evening, the president and Mrs. Will son sent formal holiday greetings to the newspaper men who are mem- bers of the party.
 Hundreds of Christmas messages have been received from all parts of the country, but those sent out were only 10 the members of tn Boiling and Wilson familis.
 It was reported here this evening that the reply to the second Ancona note had been sufficiently curt to cause anxiety in Washington. If this was true. it was not reflected in any way by the chief executive. He rjayed golf with Mrs. Wilson this morning and went motoring this af,- ernoon, returning only in time to dress and dine before the festivities of the evening.

Yeggmen Drilling Into the Strong Box When Discov-
 cred by Owners Son.
FORD AUTOMOBILE
 FOUND NEAR SCENE
Car Is Believed to Have Been Used by the Blowers, Who Secured Pistol and 70 Cents-DOgs
 Put on Trail.

An attempt to blow the safe in the store of Angus McNeill, at Redfeld, was frustrated last night about 10:3O o'clock. by the unexpected appear ance at the store of George McNeill, son of Angus McNeill.
 The yeggmen made their escape, for the time being, at least, but the officers in all sections of the country between Pine Bluff and Little Rock have been notified of the attempt at safe blowing, and were on guard for the desperadoes within g half hour after the attempt was discovered.
 A Ford automobile, found near the Redfeld depot, and believed to be owned by the yeggmen, is being held by the authorities. It is believed the machine was used by the men to reach Redfeld, and that they expect cd to make their getaway in the car after blowing the safe and robbing it of its contents.
 Drilling When Discovered.
 It is not known positively how many men were in the party. They had broken the knob and combination off the door of the safe, and had started drilling, when they were in- terrupted and forced to flee, by the arrival of young MT. McNeill and friend.
 A pistol which was lying in it's leather holster, on a counter in the store, and some change, amounting to 60 or 70 cents, from the cash draw CT, are the only things missing from the store, so far as had been disGov- cred early this morning.
 "My son and friend went to the store about 1O:3O o'clock" said Mir. McNeil last night, over the long dis tance telephone. "He found the front door had been forced open, and when he entered he heard some one leaving through the rear doors, which he found open also. He made an investi- gation at once, and saw the safe had been tempered with.
 1 "The men had started dSilling on the safe, and had already broken of the combination. My son gave the alarm. and search for the men was started at once. while Sheriff Will Hams and Chief of Police Stewart at Pine Bluff, and officers elsewhere. 1 were informed of the occurrence. Dogs on Trail.
