AGGRESSIVE BUSINESS
 MEN ASKED ID AID
State Chairman Cantrell of Red Cross, Asks That Patriotic Citizens Exert Themselves to Raise Nevada's Quota.
To Red Cross Members:

To Red Cross Members:
 hTe following telegram from State Chairman Cantrell is self-explana tory
 Little Rock, Dec. 21.-Missouri. Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas are re- turning Red Cross members at rate of over hundred thousand a day.
 Arkansas quota for the entire drive is only three hundred and twen- ty-tive thousand The first four days of our campaign has netted us less than ten per cent of our quota. This is an awful showing for Arkansas. The excuse is offered that the weather and roads have been bad and the peo- pie could not be seen. We only had one week of such weather and Texas. Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri had as bad and even worse weather.
 l have given six weeks of my tme day and night, to this campaign, be- cause l think it is an important pat riotic duty. In many counties of the state the busiest men have quit their work to serve their country in it's hour of need, and in those counties splendid results are being achieved. Can you not call to your aid more workers and some aggressive business men who can help you pull your coun- ty out of the hole, and put Arkansas abreast of the other states in this division?
 We must awake and arouse our peo- pie; they are patriotic enough, but fear that they have not been reached. This telegram is being sent to all chapters, and is not meant as criti- cism of anyone, being sent to all chap ters, and is not meant as criticism of anyone, particularly those counties that are going over the top.
 D. II. Cantrell, State Chairman.
 Let all patriotic men and women, boys and girls put their shoulders to the wheel these remaining days of our campaign, so that next Monday night will find us successful in rolling up our quota for Nevada county Let's all get busy and stay busy.
 R. L. Blakely,
 County Chairman.

ITALIANS HOLDING
 AGAINST TEUTONS
There Have Been No Develop ments of Any Consequence in Any of the Other Theaters of War.

New York, Dec 20.-Hard fighting continues between the Italians and the Austro-Germans between the Brenta and Piave rivers in northern Italy, but apparently the Italians have been holding their own since the enemy's thrust on Tuesday resulted in the cap ture of positions around Monte Aso- leone.
 The Italians, according to the Der lin official communication, have deliv- cred fierce counter-attacks against the sector in this region in the hands of the Teutons, but have been repulsed, while the Rome war office says that several attempts by the enemy to ad- vance their lines on the Tasson-C Col Del Orso front and to cross the Piave river northeast of Venice were frus- trated.
 There has been no fighting in France and Belgium.

to surprise, and this was now engag- ing inquiry. The Germans, he stated, had lost 100000 prisoners, valuable positions and hundreds of guns.
 Great Britain did not enter the war. the premier asserted, to increase by a yard the territory of any one else, but because of the belief that Britain's honor, the question of standing by her word, was involved.
 The premier said that if the Rus sian army had fulfilled the expecta- tions of it's generals, by this time the pride of the German military power would have been completely humbled.
 On the whole the British campaign had not achieved the expectations formed, he said, but there had been successes in Palestine which would have a permanent effect on the his tory of the world. Jerusalem, he stated, never would be restored to the Turks.

.UKRAN|ANS REFUSE ID OBEY uLTINATUM
 PRESENTED ID THEM
Also Decline to Permit Maximal- ist Troops to Cross Their Ter ritOry to Attack General kale- dineS-Rada Was Attacked.

4 state of siege has been proclaim ed in Petrograd and the Ukranan Rada has refused to obey an ulti- matum presented by the Bolsheviki government. Disorders in the capital, due, it is said, to the footing of wine cellars and shops, made necessary the proclamation of state of siege Re- lations between the Ukraine and the Bolsheviki government have not been cordial. The Ukraine has refused to permit Maximalist troops to cross it's territory to attack General Kaledines, and several days ago Bolsheviki troops attacked the Rada as it was sitting in Odessa and were defeated by Uk- ranian troops. The Bolsheviki gov ernment has accused the Ukranian Rada of being friendly to the consti- tutional democrats and the Cossacks, the main factors behind the counter revolution.
 Rostov- -on-the- Don, recently report ed captured by the Bolshevilli, is now said to have been occupied Monday by the Cossacks of General Kaledines, who, according to another recent rumor, had been arrested by his own officers. The Cossack leader, accord ing to dispatches reaching London from Petrograd, has proposed to the Bolsheviki that civil strife come to an end by declaring the independence of the Don territory and providing against Maximalist intervention there.

IN MEMORIAM

Mary C. Ellsworth, Chapter No 153, o. E. S., died December 5th, 1917.
 The Angel of Death, reaping Gods harvest of souls, has garnered none with a higher sense of duty than she whose loss so many deplore.
 The emphasis of her life was in her family-husband and sons-but she was deeply concerned in the welfare of the church, the Chapter and the community-quiet, modest, unpreten- tious, but always active, resolute and determined in quickly answering the call of duty from any of them. She was never too weary to go, and never too busy to stop when the call for service came. Her life was a bright example to us. Her place will be difficult to fill. The impress she made for good will long abide. By her going the home (is the loser, the church the weaker and society the sadder.

who was held on a charge of "toting" a pistol and as no trial was necessary, the culprit pleading guilty, and the marshal had the gun, Mayor Hamby gave a lecture to the negro on the conserving of powder and lead and then pinned fine of $50 and costs to the guilty party and to conserve time the pistol "toter" had friend near who wanted to pay the fine before it was assessed, which pleasure was awarded him after the hearing. How ever, the mayor assured the gunman that the second offense would not re- quire as much time but would require more money. The negro gave his name as Jim Young and said that he lived few miles south of here.

LLOYD GEORGE SAYS
 SEA LOSSES SHRINK
Premier Also Tells House of Commons That Sinking of Submarines by Allies is on the Increase.

London, Dec. 20.-COmplete restora- ton of the territories taken by the enemy, together with compensation, was demanded by Premier Lloyd George in explaining the war amis of the government.
 London, Dee. 20,-Speaking in the House of Commons today, David Lloyd George, the British prime min ister, said that the margin of losses at sea was narrowing. The sinkings by submarines, he declared, was de- creasing, while shipbuilding was in- creasing.
 The premier said the sinking of sub marines was increasing Although the merchant tonnage was down by 20 per cent, he added, the loss had been only per cent of imports over that of last year.
 Regarding the military situation Mir. Lloyd George said it was idle to pretend that the hopes formed had been realized. This disappointment he attributed to the Russian collapse.
 The Germans, the premier said, had had only one success, which was due

And in spite of the excruciating pain,
