Takes Revenge on Amnity.
II Hattie Crimmins hadn't gone
to Eureka Park Tuesday night sne
would have saved herself a lot OF
worry and money. No sooner was
she inside than she saw the man
whom she had sworn to love, honor
and obey making goo-goo eyes at
another girl. II hubby had con-
fined his movements to his eyes Il
would have been all right, but he
put his arm around his affinity and
squeezed her. These squeezes right
fully belonged to Hattie, SO she
reasoned. and she gave her rival
such a tongue-lashing that the very
atmosphere became heated. Hubby
ran out and so did Hattie, and her
tongue kept working just the same.

to pay it.

closed also. Annette Allen found this

thoroughly aware of the fact all the
time but Annette didn't know it, un-

Mack Smith Ia In Again.
For twenty-five whole days and
nights. Mack Smith sojourned at Oc-
coquan without as much as even see
ing a cocktail or any other liquid re-
freshment. The strain was telling
on him when he was released and he
walked a straight line to the nearest
barroom. The bartender recognized
him and refused him b drink and do
did half a dozen others. Mack per-
suaded a friend to get him a pint
and together they drank 1t.
Not having any liquor for such a
long time, Mack got drunk He was
so picked that he couldn't even
walk and the policeman who arrested
him said that II was a prize jag. His
friend deserted him as soon as the
pint was gone. Judge Pugh sent him
down again to give his stomach an
other rest
Borrows Friends Sweetheart.

Carrie had neither, and she borrowed

friend objected and there was a fight.
A brick jumped up and hit Carrie,
and she waded in and walloped her

room to get out of the sun. While
there he had visions of mangled and
torn trench fighters and pushed them
away with thirty or forty drinks.
The court reminded George that
there was no occasion to bolster up
courage enough to enlist as II ought
to be there anyhow. He offered to
bet Judge Pugh a dollar to a nickel
that he would never touch another
drop, and promised to enlist without
drinking more firewater. He was
paroled.

Brazil Prepares for
New Teuton Outbreak

SANTA ANNA DE LINRAMENTO,
Brazil, Nov. THE municipal author
tiles believe that the settlement of the
strike is only temporary, and that the
Germans are fomenting @ new walk
out. The strike just settled, the third
in quick succession, like the others,
greatly interfered with the shipment Of
foodstuffs and other supplies 20 the
Entente allies.
The national government is main
tanning strong forces throughout the
affected district.
Brazilians are declared 70 be anX-
ious FOR action against the Argentine
troops, as result OF persistent reports
in official circles that Argentina is
modifying near the southern Brazil
ian frontier. Officials scoff az Argen-
tina's excuse that the mobilization is
merely precautionary, and fear a re-
Lewsl Of hostiiites over the old boun-
Diary dispute settled twenty odd years
ago By President Cleveland.
Brazil is also faced by renewal OF
active propaganda by the Monarehists.

Reports Teutons Drop
"No Conquest" Stand

COPENHAGEN, Nov. s.-The "Lokal-
Anzeiger," Of Berlin, organ of the an
nexationists and great business inter-
ests, publishes a report that at the con-
ferenees which have been in progress
recently between German and Austrian
representatives in Berlin the decision
was reached to abandon entirely the
pretence Of n non-annexationlst peace
programme and to go over to the policy
of uniting Poland with Austria-Hun-
gary and Courland and Lithusnis with
Germany.
This report has been neither con-
frmed nor denied in authoritative quar-
tiers. The wish of those whom the
"Lokai-Anzeiger represents may per-
haps be father TO the thought. but, on
the other hand, il may be recalled that
Vienna newspapers printed similar re-
ports q week ago without eyoking de-
NAL. Other Berlin newspapers discuss
these statements as entirely possible.
The Socialist organ "Norwaerts" lodges
a decisive protest against the idea,
which il says is fat negation Of Ger
many's reply TO the Pope and Of the
Reichstag peace resolution.

Maude Captures
Town on Tigris

LONDON. Nov. s.--General Maude'.
troops in Mesopotamia are continuing
their northward drive along the Tigris
at the rate of about two miles a day.
Tekrit, an important town on the river
95 miles northwest of Bagdsd, is the
latest Turkish position TO fall to the
British forces. l. was occupied last
Tuesday. according to an official COM
munica;ion received to-day.
This marks an advance Of nearly ten
miles in five days. On November 2 the
British dslodged the Ottoman troops
from strong positions on the right bank
of the Tigris, opposite Dur. 50 miles
northwest Of Bagdsd. Their advance
since then apparently has been steady
and unchecked.
At Tekrit the British stand about l25
miles south Of their ultimate objective,
Mosul. While they are engaged in
pressing northward toward Mosul, the
Russian army formerly under the COM
mand Of Grand Duke Nicholas is wedg-
ing its way southwark from Turkish
Armenia toward the town, the capture
Of which would end the great campaign
for the conquest bf Mesopotamia and
Armenia and leave the Turks in pos
session Of only small part of their
former territory.
The British operation is regarded as
great feat, as the further General
Maude advances the more difficult il be
comes 10 keep his lines of communiea-
tion open and the easier it becomes
for the enemy to harass his TANKS
and rear.

Capturing Much Booty
Turk Resistance Weak
Invading Forces Likely to
Reach Gates of jerusalem
by End of Winter

LONDON, Nov. s.--The British forces
in Palestine, continuing their drive
northward toward Jerusalem from the
GAIA Beersheba line, have advanced
eight miles beyond tho positions they
captured three days ago. when General
Allenby's last report was received.
An official statement received to-day
says the British troops have pushed be-
yond the hill III Muntsr, southeast OF
GAIA, 20 the Sheik Redmsn fortified
tions, mile 20 the north; that they
have reached the mouth Of the Wadi-
Hest, eight miles north of their original
position on the coast Of the Mediter-
rsnean. and that they have advanced a
considerable distance from Sheri'ah.
northwest Of Beershebs.
The captures Of prisoners, guns and
stores are declared TO be considerable.
British seroplanes co6perated with the
troops in the operations, inficting
losses on the Turkish army.
The Hill FL Muntsr, "the watch
tower" is famous in Biblical his
tory as "the mountain before Hebron"
10 which Samson carried the gates
CT GAIA. II is an isolated and bare
mound, with a small mosque and a
graveyard, which doubtless have been
DESTROYED By the destructive shell fire
Of the modern British batteries.
The British offensive in Southern
Palestine, supported by large cavalry
as well as infantry forces, ia gaining
successes that probably will bring Cen
eral Allenby before the gates Of Jeru-
salem by the end OF winter. While the
Turkish resistance IN this region has
not collapsed, il appears 70 be power
less before the onslaughts of the In
vaders
General Allenby's report is as fol-
lows:
About midnight Tuesday our troops
assaulted the Turkish works south OF
GAIA and captured them, finding them
lightly held. The advance was contiu-
ued on the right 90 Ell Muntar, the hill
dominating the town on the south and
southeast; on the leIt 10 the Shels
Redman fortiications, about mile out
side the town on the north. During the
day we pushed forward through the
town and advanced 70 the mouth Of the
Wadi-Hesi. eight miles north OF our
original line.
Our forces from Sheri'ah also sue
cessfully continued their advance 20
the northwest.
In the area east of GAIA the Turks
still occupy some trenches, but there
are indications OF general retirement
northward. Our airplanes inflicted
losses on the troops retiring, and on
concentrations at reilhesds. On our
right, about Khuweilfeh, the enemy has
not renewed his counter attacks"
