London, Dec. 27.-The announce
ment was made in dispatches from
Petrograd that Count Czernfn. the
Austro-H ungarian foreign minister,
ence read a statement on Christmas
day to the effect that the central
powers had agreed to conclude at
once a general peace with Russia
without forcible indemnities and an
nexations. This announcement leads
war office attaches to believe the
mission which is now on its way to
Petrograd will make great conces-
sions in an effort to re-establish re-
lations and continue the peace nego-
tiations at Brest-Litovsk, which may
be postponed until the end Of Janu-
ary.

ceived here say that the commission

Russian authorities for the exchange
of civilians and incapaciated war pris-
oners and also devise measures to re-
store relations between Germany and

assertions in Petrograd dispatches
that the influence and power OF the
Bolsheviki was waning. but never with

make the point in one form or other
that detection from the workmen's

constantly. Among causes alleged are
general lack of authority, the increase
In drunkenness, the reluctance of the
population to work and the scarcity of

and patience will be exercised by the
American government in dealing with

it is realized that German intrigue.

1t was authoritatively stated that
American representatives in Russia,

carefully avoid any interference with
the internal policies of the country
and will be guided in their conduct by
the strictest rules of neutrality as be-

A Bureau of Labor Informa-
 tion for Farmers.

The farmers of this county should all become familiar with the fact that when they need extra labor they may enroll their names with MT. George Elder, county clerk of Chicot county. for he will also enroll the names of laborers who want work on farms and 1t will thus be easier for men and jobs to get together.
 If farmers are too busy to make a trip to the court house they can tele- phone their names in and in this case they should give the number of their phone and their post office address so that laborers hunting for work may find them easily The laborer. too, may enroll by telephone if it is not convenient to enroll in person
 This plan of mobilizing farm labor was decided upon by the State Council of Agriculture Other states are doing similar work. and the United States Department of Agriculture is doing all that is possible to persuade the various states to adopt systematic plans with the object of making it easy for the farmer to get help and for the jobless man to get work on farms.
