The value and need of a newspa-
per in the household was never
greater than at the present time.
The great war in Europe is now half
way into its third year, and whether
peace be at hand or yet be far off, it
and the events to follow it are sure
to be of absorbing interest for many
a month to come.
These are Notwithstanding affairs, in
which the United States, willing or
unwilling, is compelled to take
part. No intelligent person can
ignore such issues.

 "The decrease in production has been due to several reasons, the cool spring. labor situation and drought. In addition to this, we are now eX- periencing an early cool fall. These cool nights decidely slow up the flow ing of the gum, and from now on the receipts at the three ports will show an even greater decrease.
 "In addition to the above. the storm which visited the gulf states a short while ago played havoc with many producing places in western Florida and southern Alabama. A conserva- tive estimate shows that there will be a reduction in the production for the remainder of the season in that sec tion of 10000 to 15,OOO casks of spir- it's and 10000 to 50,000 round barrels of rosin due to destroyed timber and loss of scrape.

Social Democrat Leader Be- lieves in Democracy for
 Occupied Territory.

Amsterdam, Oct. 1.-The reichs- tag probably will take a decjsive step
 forward in regard to the question of within a few days,
 |the Vossiche Zeitung of Berlin says. |The reichstag majority supports the
 Idea of the formation of monarchial federal state with democratic and Parliamentary guarantees. The news |raper believes that this plan is favor led by the imperial government which has abandoned the scheme of dividing Alsaco-Lorraine between Prussia and Bavaria.
 During the debate in the reichstag, |Deputy Conrad Huassman said that |the declaration of Dr. won Kuehl-
 mann. the foreign secretary-that |apart from Alsace-Lorraine there is |ro absolute bar to peace-was tanta- mount to definite undertaking that |Relgiun should be given up. "That should be heralded forth to all the nations" said the deputy. Gustav Stressman, national lllb- [ora1 said he would not oppose a re- EJnction of armaments but he thought |that disarmament was hardly practi- |cal politics. Count von Westarp, conservative, thought that Germans answer o the pope ought to have made clear
 |that Germany would not undertake to |disarm and hoped that von kuehl- [mann had not tied himself to yield
 ling up Belgium. George Ledebour, social democrat
 Header, dwelt on the damage done to |the German cause by the revelations
 kconcerning von Luxburg, the German
 minister to Argentine. He consider
 |ed that the populations of occupied
 Territory should be permitted to de-
 {cide their own fate.

Gateway to JeruSa-

British Forces

GUAYAQUIL, Ecuador, Dec. S.-Ecua-
dor has severed diplomatic relations
with Germany, according to an official
announcement made by the government
today.
NEW YORK, Dec. s.-(Sumpary of
European cables declara-
ton of war on Austria-Hungary comes
at a moment when the Italian northern
front between Asiago and the Brenta is
being hard pressed by an Austro-Ger-
man army under Field Marshal Conrad
Won Hoetzendorf. The adoption of the
declaration by congress with only one
dissenting vote and its signing by Pres
ident Wilson late yesterday probably
will be a great moral help to the people
of italy, and especially to the heroic
troops in the Trentino.
In four days the invading Austro-Ger-
mans have forced the Italians back an
average of three miles on a ten-mile
front. But the advance was gained at
a great cost in casualties, as the ltal-
ians fought desperately every foot of
the way and at some points preferred
to die rather than to surrender or re-
tire. In addition to losing Monte Sise-
mol three miles east of Asiago, the Ital-
ianS, according to Berlin. have given UP
1000 additional prisoners.

National Prohibition
Certainty Soon, Crisp
Tells the w. c. T. u.
BY RALPH SMITH.

WASHINGTON. Dec. s.-Congressman
Crisp, of the Third district, today ad-
dressed the national convention of the
W. c. T. U. He moved the women to en-
thusiasm with a declaration that IN
lis opinion the constitutional amend
Lnent for national prohibition would be
considered at this session OF congress,
and probably pass both houses. He as
sured the women that the Temperance
union. in his opinion, is due credit for
the growth of prohibition sentiment in
America, and confidently predicted that
whether the present congresses passes
the constitutional amendment, nation
wide prohibition is a certainty in the
near future.
Judge Crisp Is the only member of
congress to be invited to address the w.
C I. L. convention. He has been a
steadfast and loyal worker in congress
for the prohibition cause, and his friends
feel pride in the recognition accorded
him by the convention.

NICHOLAS MAY NOW Be
SEEKING TO REGAIN POWER
New Chapter in Russian His
tory Might Be Behind Move
mentS of Former Ruler

WASHINGTON, Dec. s.-Nicholas
car of all the Russias, has broken the
letters of his prison home in grim
Siberia and fled, according to rumor
the state department had today from
it's Tiflis consul.
Whittier he is bound or his inten-
tions. the rumor did not say, but be-
hind the unconfirmed story may lie a
new anR startling chapter in the bloody
history of the land Nicholas ruled.
Coupled with press reports that
lynching of the car was feared and
that his guards had been disarmed, the
story appeared perhaps to have the
germs of truth, particularly as the
Tiflis consul saw fit to dignity it with
a report home, while the government
announced il unsolicited
If the story proves true, il may mean
that the car, aided from the outside,
is attempting the coup of rallying fol-
lowers in an effort to regain his lost
power at a time when the nation is in
the throes of armstice negotiations,
confusion and strife. However. if he
harbors such an ambition it will doubt
less come to naught, for Russia now is
thoroughly STEPPED in a spirit of free
uOn from nOudTCNldl NOMINATION. dllNS
from warfare.
Only a few here saw the possibility
that with the aid of the grand duke
he could gather sufficinet military
strength to put over his coup. What
ever the truth may be, the story star
tied Washington as no recent Russian
twist has done.
While specializing on possibilities
within the puzzling Slavic nation, au-
thorites suggested that south Russia
may split with north Russia, and, unit
ing with Rumania, continue in the
war
The southern section has a strong
military force with much supplies, and
it is opposed to the Lenine-Trotzky
peace negotiations.
The reported Bolsheviki attempt to
control Vladivostok on the Pacific is
watched closely here, for it is an Res-
sential base for food and army sup
plies.
