 Military experts who have been abroad and have observed the allied armies in action have said that trenching was one of the principal things the American troops must be taught. With this purpose in mind, the troops in camp there have been doing real trench work for several weeks past. It is part of the regu- lar routine of the days work, and it is astonishing how the one-time clerks and office workers handle the picks and spades and build trenches.
 The trenches are built in long lines, with dugouts and connecting trenches. very much the same as the armies of Europe are building. The men get into them and at the com- mand go lover the top" very him. ply. This work has given the men a keen insight into the necessities of dig ging themselves in, and when they eventually get on the other side and are being trained for service at lhe front this drill will stand them ln good stead.

War Measures. Woman Suffrage and Prohibit ton Loom Up
 Large.
MAY ANNEX MORE FOES
U. s. Is Likely to Declare War on Austria, Tur- key and Bull
 garia.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26,-Senators and Representative in Congress, re- turning from their short vacation to attend the first regular session of the 65th Congress, which will meet next Monday, agree that the next session will rival the long sum- mer extra war session which ad journed in October in importance Among the things that will have to be taken up and seriously consid cred are war appropriations. the question of declaring war upon Aus tria, Turkey and Bulgaria, prohibit ton and woman suffrage.
 That war appropriations will be made as asked by the administra- tion is admitted, and the attitude of the administration will in all prob. ability control on the question of a declaration of war upon Germany's allies.
 The prohibition and woman suf- frage questions are different Con gress will be asked to submit Con-
  bition and universal suffrage to the separate States, and on these ques- tions it is expected that President Wilson will leave Congress with a free hand, though it is known that in the past the President has been in favor of making both questions mat ters for State regulation.
 It is admitted that the great vic tory for woman suffrage in New York cannot fail to have a profound effect upon woman suffrage legisla tion.

 Stone Says U. 6. Must Declare War
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-Senator w. J. Stone of Missouri, chairman of the Senate foreign relations com. mittee, said today that the declara- tion of war by the United States on Austria, Turkey and Bulgaria seems exceedingly advisable. It would sim plify a situation he said, which is anomalous.
 We are said Senator Stone, "in effect warning with Germany's enc mics when we try to maintain neu- trality as between our allies and those of Germany. The logic of the situation demands that we join Great Britain and France in full measure, and that we fight Germany and all her allies in the war"
 Missourian Is Wariike
 Senator Stone returns from Mis- souri in a warlike mood. Although he voted against the declaration of war on Germany, he said today that the war and the administration poli- cies will have his full support. His statement made on the possibility of wars being declared on Austria, Fur key and Bulgaria is taken to mean that he will join other Congressmen in agitating in favor of sweeping declaration of war against all of Ger many's allies.

VITAL STATISTICS
 WILL BE RECORDED
IN MANY PARTS OF THE STATE LAW HAS BEEN IGNORED
 ENTIRELY.
SAYS RECORDS ARE VALUABLE
Dr. Garrison Says It Has Become Ne cessary On Account of New Feder- al Child Labor Law, Which Re
 quires Certificate To Prove Aue.
Little Rock

LlItle hOcK.-
 The State Board of Health will take active steps to enforce the vital statistic laws in every county, Dr. C. w. Garrison, state health officer, said This has become necessary. he said on account of the new federal child labor law, which requires birth certif- cates as proof of a child's age.
 -. Coz aIete records of deaths and births are necessary for other reasons, Dr. Garrison said, and in many sec to comply with the law, although the law has been on record three years and in every township registration blanks are furnished The records are valuable to determine child's school age under the compulsory edu- cation act, and to afford insurance companies statistics for passing their mortality records.
 In some sections of the state, Dr. Garrison said, the insurance compa- nies have based the death records on statistics furnished at a time when the death rate in those communities was much higher than it is now, thus causing a restriction of policies and higher premium rates. Many business concerns also require such records be- fore entering the state. These statis- tics are also necessary to direct the public health work intelligntly, it was said, and to attract capital

GERMAN SUBMARINE SUNK BY AMERICANS
HAD SUBMARINE IN TOW WHEN CREW SANK OWN CRAFT
 WAS BRILLIANT STROKE.
CAME TO TOP HELPLESS
With Crew On Surface of Submarine Holding Hands Up Some One Be- low Opened Valves and Sea Ter
 TOT Began fo Sunk.

Washington.-The United States Navy has strafed a submarine for all the world to see This time there is no shadow of a doubt. Forty-fve Ger man officers and crew are prisoners aboard a destroyer, or landed at an allied port under guard. An Ameri- can destroyer has laid a tow line aboard a prize, only to have the prize wrested from her and sunk by the German crew.
 The news came first in an official bulletin from Secretary Daniels. It told of how a destroyer, still unnamed, sighted a periscope and charged, as destroyers do, on the flash. An American depth bomb struck the sea viper. Vitally stricken, her horizon al rudder smashed, she surged gasp ing to the surface. And there keen Yankee eyes and straight-aimed Yan- kee shells found her, smashed her and sent the white flag of surrender fiut- tering to the stubby mast above her coming tower.
 Crestfallen German sailors climbed out of the open hatches, last the cap. tain in his sea boots. They had up their hands above their heads, and on the instant the American fire was withheld.
 There was no "spurlos versenkt" here. There was no repetition of the horrors of the Belgian Prince. One of the American destroyers, careless of whether another U-boat was lurking near, ranged alongside and, under the ancient code of the sea, sought to save those who were but now her mor- tai foes.
 Then in this situation, however, Germany broke the law. With the flag of surrender flying, with her crew uphanded on the deck, some one was told off below to open the submerging valves. Hardly had a tow fine been made secure to the submarines deck when she began to settle. The quick, regular setting meant the tanks were being filled. She sank and with her the man who had stayed below tc do this deed. He, his surrendered" ship and his dead messmates went to the bottom together.
 These are the vivid details of the battle as they were learned first hand by the International News Service. Of ficially the Navy Department confines itself to bare admission that a sub marine has been accounted for that she was attacked by depth bomb and guntlre and that she surrendered and sunk when being lowed.

HOUSTON FELICITATESI
Praises Arkansas For It's Progress In
 Tick Eradication.

Governor Brough received long let ter from David D. Houston, secretary of agriculture, congratulating the people of Arkansas on the prog ress that has been made toward tick eradication. He reported that territory to be released December 1 comprises 13,305 square miles, or the following counties: Baxter, Colum-
 hia, Crawford, Independence, Izard, Jackson, Lee, Lonoke, Monroe, Neva-
 da, Ouachita, Phillips, Pope, Prairie, St. Francis, Sebastian, Union, White and Yell and parts of Conway, Desha,
 Faulkner. Jefferson, Pulaski and Van
 Buren. This will make 50 per cent of | Arkansas tick free.
 Secretary Houston said that this and the territory in other Southern states released from quarantine makes a total of 65,520 square miles. There remain 20,952 miles in Arkansas to be 1 released. and only 349,253 miles of in. 1 tested area in the South
 i Secretary Houston said that Missis- sippi, through an active campaign, has 1 freed itself from quarantine entirely,
 and has driven a wedge through the 1 tick belt.
 Secretary Houston said:
 "Tne enterprise of the people of
 the freed counties in providing dip
 ping vats, their persistence in dipping
 all of their animals regularly, their
 determination to let nothing interfere with the eliminimation of the destruc- | tive pest, have yielded this result-as ] important to the nation as to them
 selves. l trust that you will communi-
 cate to your state officials and the
 residents of the several counties the
 earnest congratulations of the federal government"

JGIeS D9iO.--
 The executive session of the Na- tIonal Farmers Union held at Jones' boro was practically consumed in the hearing of reports, and in some cases the arguments were heated, but all in the very best of feeling. The report of the committee on resolutions in part was as follows:
 eve pledge our utmost loyalty to our government and to the boys wear ing cur country's uniform in the great struggle in which the nation is now | engaged. and we assure the govern ment and our soldiers that back of them in their service We food produc- CTS stand united for the prosecution of the war to a successful end"
 The report also said: "We are un- armies in time of peace" and that i've protest against any form of univer- sal military service" The report also urged that the farm boys in the camps in this country at the next harvest time be given furlough to come home dIlu Uelp Save IIlG SIdiI.
 The committee on rural credits said: I've indorse the federal loan act and believe it is a start in the right direc- tion but it is thought best to petition Congress to so amend the law that the landles5 and homeless man may bor- TOW as much as so per cent of the value of the land he may buy for a home up to a limit of S10,900 and that the government issue it's bonds at three per cent and loan to the farmer at four"
 The committee on legislation re- ported: We believe that the burden of the war should not be placed upon the future generations by interest bearing bonds, only in so far as he is l absolutely necessary to successfully prosecute it, but should be raised by 1 general taxation so far as possible on congested incomes, war profits, inheri- 1 tance tax and a graduated system of | land taxation It also urged the pas sage of a Torrens law, under which i the cost of perfecting titles will not l be prohibitiye, and when it becomes a law will in any state be accepted as i sufficient guarantee of title for rural 1 credit loans.
 The last work was the election of the following officers:
 President, c. & Barrett of Georgia vice president, A. V. Swift of Oregon secretary treasurer, A. c. Davis of Ar kansas.
 Board of directors: Morris McSul life of Kansas, J. L. Shepard of Flori da, Geo. H. BowIes of Virginia, O. F Darnblazer of Texas, S. w. Records of South Dakota.
 The delegates were given an inform al smoker and reception at the New Warner House. The selection of the next meeting place was left to the na tional board. It will likely be Denver or Des Moines.
