 POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS

Baltimore, Nov. 2i.-Congress will De urged to pass legislation where by money on deposit in the postAl savings banks may be loaned to municipalities fer the purpose If building model homes for it's citi- zens, in accordance with a resDlu- tion unanimously adopted by the American Federation of Labor con- vention Monday. An alternative suggestion contained in the resolu- tion is that the government shall establish such system of credits that the people may borrow money for a long term of vars, at lower rate of interest to build their own homes.
 We believe that it is an easy mat ter for the government to take such steps to relieve the working people in the industrial centers of the in- sanitary homes that are now unfit for habitation,' the resolution says.
 All state federations of labor and organized labor everywhere were urged in an adopted resolution to make the injunction question the paramount issue in all of their fu- ture political activities.

 Little Rock, Nov. 20-This has been campaign of close elections |oyer the country, from President blown, and just now the question of Democratic supremacy iii Congress Hdepends upon contests in half a sdozen districts where the difference Between the candidates is less than sOne hundred votes.
 But the blue ribbon belongs to Madison county, Arkansas, where sthe Republican and Democratic nominees for Representative tied, swlth i,529 votes each. This is the result of the official count certified .yesterday. J. B. Harris is the De- Emocrat and Tom Sullins the Repub- silcan. Both are lawyers, residents fpf Huntsville. No election having Sfesulted, a vacancy naturally exists, ,and 1t is the prevalent opinion that Ithe Governor will appoint or call a special election. Seldom, if ever, *has such a condition arisen. It may ipe sad that in such case, the Gov &ernor can cast the deciding vote, by

Monastir's Capture Important.

London, Nov. 20.-The capture of Monastir by General Sarrails army in Macedonia is looked upon by en- tente military writers as of notable political importance, but opinion ap- pears to be divided as to whether 1t will be followed by military de- velopments of sweeping character.
 Events of the next day or two are expected to show whether the cap- tors of the Macedonian capital will require a period of rest before starting a new advance Or whether the pursuit of the retreating army is to be pressed, despite the adverse weather conditions.
 In some quarters, an advance by the entente forces along the road to Prilep is forecast, to be followed by thrust from Prelip toward Nego- tin. on the Vardar, with the object of outflanking the Bulgarians and opening up the frontier passes northwest of Saloniki.

GOOD ROADS LOST
 BY BUT 1900 VOTES
There Were i9,00O Who Did Not Vote For or Against the Measure The Movement Will Be Talk
 en to Legislature.

Special to The Star
 Little Rock, Nov. 20--For the want of about i,50O votes, Amendment No. ii, which had for it's object the building of good roads in Arkansas, has probably failed of adoption. With t6S,000 votes accounted for, the amendment received over S3,000 votes. It would require 84,000 to carry the amendment on these f. gures. There are i9000 voters who failed to register vote on the sub iect, and had 1 ,500 of these voted for the amendment, and all the bal ance against it, it would have been adopted with majority of nearly 1000.
 While they were disappointed at coming so close and losing, the good roads advocates are not in the least discouraged They are convinced that had the amendment not been the victim of political action, which placed it on the ballot as a measure to increase taxation, 1t would have received much more than the required number to be adopted
 There will he meeting of the Ar kansas County Judges Association in Little Rock early in December, which will be attended by the execu- tive committee of the Arkansas Good Roads Association. the Arkansas As soeiation of Motor Clubs and others interested in road work, when good road legislation will be prepared for presentation io the legislature. l It is highly probable that similar measure to the defeated amendment will be offered the legislature, with the request that it take the form of a constitutional amendment, and be submitted to the people.
 1 Those who work for roads in Ar
 kansas have assurance from state officials elect, who will be members of the State Board of Election Con- Imissioners next time. that they will
 not mis-state the intent of any amendment proposed, and will do all
 in their power to assist in its adop- tlon. This announcement prompts l them to get to work and have their
 measures ready for the opening day
 of the legislative session.
