DECEMBER TERM

POSTPONED

In letter received today from
Hon. Geo, F. White, Deputy
Clerk U. S. Court, Albany Divis-
ion, we are requested to state for
the benefit of the attorneys, ju-
rors and litigants in said court,
that the December term to open
on the 18th OF this month has
been postponed to some date in
January, the same to be published
later.
The postponement is caused
from the fact that the Hon. En-
DRY Speer wishes the attorneys in
his district to fully cooperate
with the Government in the filing
of the registration papers of the
Selectmen, which is to begin
December 18th and for which the
free services of the attorneys have
been enlisted and are greatly
needed.

COUNTY OFFICERS
DO GOOD WORK

Monday morning Sheriff Dormincv
received the information Of murder
committed on the Dixie Highway
near Chatterton, in Coffee county,
and was given the motor number of
a Ford which was found in the road,
loaded down with whiskey, evidently
enroutc to this county from Jackson.
vile. Securing the name of the origi-
nal purchaser OF the Ford with the
number furnished through the local
agent Henry Burkhart, Sheriff Dor
miney and his Deputy, George Dor
miney, soon were on the trail of
Wlnslow Coffee and landed him early
iii the afternoon. Tuesday evening
Joe Sanders and w. S. Seeley. his two
companions on this fatal trip were
located OH the A. S. Dorminey place,
and with the assistance Of Ed Dor
miney rounded up and brought to the
county jail The trio admit having
had row with some white men, who
they allege alta, kcd them on the road
where they ste .,ped to fix a puncture.
Coffee states that he was working on
the car when he heard a shot fired
probab y the shot which killed Tom
Wesley, who was found dead in the
road b. the Coffee county officers.
1t will be remembered that on last
Sunday morning about o'clock on
the Dixia Highway, between Nichols
and Douglas, near Chatterton, Tom
I Wesley, a young white man of Doug
las, about 20 years old, was killed by
unknown parties en- route from Jack
sonville/o some point in Georgia, and
James, talvey, who accompanied
Wesley, was Shot through the cloth
ing near the breast, but was not in
cured.
Stalvey returned to Douglas and got
the sheriff and posse, who returned
to the scene and brought in Wlesey's
corpse.
The parties who did tho killing
broke the state license tag off the
Ford they were in and abandoned the
car, which contained fifty to hun
dred bottles of whiskey.
The best information obtainable is
that James Stalvey must have antici
pated that these parties were coming
from Jacksonville with whiskey and
he, with Wesley, went out on the road
to capture them and take their whis-
key. He found their car broken down
and Stalvey being an invalid, when
he reached the scene gave Wesley
his pistol. Wesley got out and under
took to capture the parties. After
beating Wesly over the head they
took the pistol away from him and
shot him one time, producing instant
death. They then escaped with the
pistol.

HARDWARE STORE
LATEST VICTIM

From every indication the same
party or parties who have burglarized
the several stores recently made his
or their entry into the store of the
Fitzgerald Hardware company Mon
day night Similar incision into the
frame work OF one of the windows on
the rear of the store, as was discover
ed on the window of the Player Mar
ket, would lead to the conclusion that
the same tool was used here.
Mr.. Order, of the Fitzgerald Hard
ware company, when seen by the
Leader-Enterprise reporter stated
that thus far they have been unable to
discover any losses and believe that
the intruder was disturbed before he
could make up his mind whether to
take stove, range, bicycle, shotgun
or any other of the many articles of
use or ornament found in the estab-
fish.
The police are at loss to account
for the frequency of these attempts,
despite their alleged watchfulness
during the dark hours OF the night.
1t may be necessary to engage a pri-
vate detective to catch this evasive
marauder or the gang.

KAHN WOULD REGISTER
ALL MEN UP TO FORTY

Washington, Dec. 11.-Rep-
resentative Julius Kahn, of Cal
ifornia, will renew his fight in the
House'for compulsory military
training.for American youth. The
Pacific Coast Republican, who pi-
loted the selective draft bill
through Congress last session, is
confident that majority will ia
vor compulsory training.
Mr.. Kahn further proposes to
urge legislation to compel regis
tration of all American men up to
the age of 40 years.
Amendments to the present
draft act which he will offer will
provide for the registration of all
youths between the ages of 10
and p years SO that the country
may know the number, of poten-
tial soldier it has. His measure
will further provide that upon at
tanning their nineteenth birthday,
all youths shall devote the next
year to military training under a
system to be worked out by the
War Department..

JERUSALEM IN
HANDS Of THE
ALLIED TROOPS

New York, Dec. 10,-Jerusalem is
IN the hands of the British after hav-
ing been for virtually 200 years in
the control OF the Moslems.
The Holy City, the birthplace Of the
jewish, Christian and Mohammedan
religion capitulated TO Gen. Allenby's
forces, consisting of British, French
and Italian troops, after it had been
entirely surrounded, and with its fall
seemed swept away the dream of the
Germans and the Turks of driving
southwark through Palestine, captur-
ing the Suez canal and invading
Egypt
Since the recent taking Of the tow,,
OF Jaffa, on the Mediterranean, and
the gradual closing in on Jerusalem
by the allied forces, the fall of the
ancient city daily had been anticipat-
ed. 1t was not the lack of strength
that prevented its capture, but rather
the desire of Gen Allenby 90 carry
out his plan of enveloping the city
and forcing its equalization, as
frontal attack would have endangered
the numerous sacred places inside
the city and its environs.

Washington, Oct. 22.-At least 38,-
100000 men are bearing arms in the
war-27, 100000 OH the side of the
world Allies and 1O,6OO,O0O on the
side of the Central Powers, accord
ing to latest War Department COM
pilations from published reports on
various countries. These figures do
not include naval personnel strength,
which would raise the total several
millions.
Against Germany's 100000, Aus
tria's 100000, Turkeys 100000 and
Bulgaria's 100000, are arrayed the
following armed forces: Russia,
100000; France, 100000; Great

Japan, ~1,400,0OO; United States,

ma also have small forces under
arms.
Military experts do not regard
these figures as entirely accurate,
but believe they represent in round
numbers the comparative strengths
of the contending armies as published
recently. The War Department has
many confidential reports on the
forces of the Allies, and considerable
data concerning enemy armies, but
this information is not made public
for military reasons.

British Front in France and Bel
gium, Oct. 23.-The new Allied line
established in yesterdays limited

was intact this morning with the ex-
ception Of the loss in the southern
fringe of Houtholst wood of one for
titled. farm from which the British
were forced to fall back last evening.
when the Germans delivered heavy
local counter attack.
Yesterdays operations may be re-
corded as a success, anu while only
limited objectives were sought their
attainment has greatly improved the
Allied position.
1t was hard fighting at numerous
points and the Germans lost heavily,
especially in the region of Poelca-
pelle. Large numbers of enemy dead
were reported this morning lying in
front of the British advanced posts.
The fighting was especially severe
near the point Of junction of the
British and French forces. The Ger
man defenscs on the outskirts Of the
wood were strong and the enemy fell
back battling determinedly with ma
chine guns and rifles. At one point
north of the Ypres-Stadcn Railway,
at the edge Of the wood, the British
advanced posts were unable to main
tain the most forward positions
reached because IF the violent artil-
lcry fire. The main Allied line, how
ever, was today we'll north Of the
strong line of German positions.
More rain fell last night and this
morning, doing much to offset the ef-
fects Of the recent few days of sun
shine.
