uNcENsORED NEWS
English Reports as TO Affairs
Germany

The Boston News Bureau has just
received advices from the other side
that would not by ordinary cable pass
the censor The figures are definite
but 1t is not quite fair to use them
II is proper to say. however, that
they indicate that the strength Of
Kltchner's army, the inlistments and
reserves OF men in England are high
ly satisfactory, and that the prepare
lions that are being made by the al
lies to deal with the situation in
southeastern Europe are all that
could be desired.
There is no reason 10 doubt the re-
port that Great Britain will have
100000 men under arms next
spring and their allotment in geo
graphical position on the map Of Eur
ope will be resourceful.
To date England has not had its
null equipn ei1t for the men that have
enlisted; but supplies including rides
Will, it is declared be ample before
next March. ~;
There is no longer any fear in Eng
land concerning either submarines or
Zeppelins IN statements regarding
the netting, trapping, sinking and de-
struction OF the German submarines
there has been no eXaggeration.
Private advices received at the
same time from Germany are that
the men in the category of ''perman-
emily unfit" are now being re-eXamin-
ed, and TO large extent called to the
colors. There is discussion as to rails
ing the age limit from 45 to 50. The
German losses have been particularly
heavy in the east. and the news OF il
is being brought to Germany by he
returning wounded.
German enthusiasm has vanished,
but the Germans are now entertain
ing the hope that their financial re-
serves will hold out longer than the
financial resources of the English and
the French The financial supplies of
Germany come largely through the
using up OF available resources of
material and goods. Peace talk is
rife in Berlin, because n great many
people are there claiming to be of
service in peace negotiations, but
their standing is very questionable
COPPER has been replaced in many
places by alloys and the Germans
have shown great adaptabllity in sub
stitutes for raw materials Very high
prices are paid for copper utensils,
etc, but it is very difficult to gauge
the copper supplies from such irregu-
lar sources.
The textile industry has been con-
tracing steadily in working hours,
and the lack of cotton steadily mani
tested. But the army requirements
ars said to be secure for this winter in
cotton, wool and leather although
larger quantities would be welcome.
Arms and munitions production in
Germany are now ahead of the de-
mand and government inspection on
such war supplies is now more rigid.
Food supplies are more scarce.
Fodder is curtailing cattle breeding
Milk and meat have decreased alarm
ingly Germany is not getting on
well with her neighbors and is taking
oppressive measures to force supplies
from neutrals.

MUST ELECT DELEGATES
 NATIONAL CONTENTION
State Democratic Committee Reluct. ant to Give Up Old Conyen.
 tiOn Plan.

Little Rock Dec. 30.-The state Democratic central committee is at present all at sea regarding the reso- national convention at Baltimore, re- quiring the selection of delegates and alternates for the next convention in state primaries. The resolution di- rects the nation Democratic central corr9 ee to direct the state central comni aes to incorporate in their calls for primary elections, the pro- vision for election of delegates.
 Officials Of the Arkansas Democrat ic central committee believe there is an alternative and that it is not nec- essary to select the delegates and at the March or other primary, but that it may be done in the old way at the state convention. For this reason messages have been sent to Chairman McCombs, asking him for copies of the resolution, to be taken from the official minutes of the con- ventiOn.
 If the resolution is as strong as it is reported in the official call receiv- ed from the national committee 3 few days ago, there is nothing left but to select the delegates at the pri- mary. The call was received after the recent adjournment of the state central committee, hence has never been before the committee. and it is probable that it's members will be called back to bass upon the matter when definite information has been received.
