LIBERTY LOAN DRIVE
 TAKES NEW IMPETUS
It Meeting Monday Night Every AshdOWn Business Man q SOlicitOr-Wil1 Have
 Cards,

With the boost given the bond sales Sunday night the campaign has gained new impetus in the county. It is re- ported that an active campaign will be begun at Foreman, and that end of the county expects to come through in good shape. At Cerro Gordo Monday night 5000 additional subscriptions were taken.
 At meeting of business men in Ashdown Monday night it was decided that every business house would be furnished cards and that all customers would be solicited to buy bonds. Little River county should get busy and go over the top this week. To let the campaign drag at this time may prove hard to overcome.

 Twiss Lald Dewn.-President Will FICen1er With Entente Leaders M ne1sre Writing Answer.

Washington. Ovt. 7-President Will son is conferring with the premiers of the entente nations ose= the form of answer to be made to aermany's lat cat pssce proposals. The indications are tha& 1t will not be dispatched .or a day or two.
 While there may be some question ss to ths form of the reply there Is no ouesti0n as to its nature. It may not use the short and iorceful term unconditional surrender. which wouss reflect the sentiment which haaIcome rom the spokesman of the ration, but it Is sure to convey to the German government inst nothing less than the terms already laid down can be accepted and that those terms can not ta male merely 'the basis for negotiation As to the armistice, such a ssep would be looked upon as suicidal and rot to be thought of.
 The American government would not attempt to speak for the other belli9erents on a matter of such im- portanee without consultation and 1t 1 is intended to eyoid the mistake of making curt and peremptory rejec- ton which would be used by the cen 4tral powers before their own people to bolster up the argument they are wauiuv 2. .defensive" war and the objects of the co-belligerents are to destroy" them.
 Lacking official announcements of what the president has done. it is highly probable th7t he had taken one of these two courses:
 Either asked Premiers Lloye George. Ciemeneean and Orlando te adv:se him of their replies. or he nss formulated reply and askei the pre- miers .or thesr acauieseenee.

Berlin, Oct. 6.-Emperor William today issued a proclamation to the German army and navy in which, aft CT announcing that the Macedonian front had crumbled, he declared that he had decided in accord with his al- lies to again offer peace to the enemy. Copenhagen, Get. 6.-Prince Maxi milan of Baden, the new German im- perial chancellor, announced ill the reichstag yesterday that he had sent "a note through the Swiss government to President Wilson, in which he re- quested MT. Wilson to take up the question of bringing about peace and to communicate with the other belll- gerents regarding the subject The chancellor told the reichstag he had addressed the note to the presi- dent 0. the United States because MT. Wilson in his message to congress on January 8, 1918, and in his later pro ctamations, particularly his New York speech on September 27, had propos- ed a program for a general peace which Germany and her ailies could accept as basis for negotiations. Wilhelm's Proclamation. Berlin, Oct. 6.-The complete text of the emperor peace proclamation reads:
 For months past the enemy, with enormous efforts and almost without pause in the fighting, has stormed against your lines.

Therein lies the greatness of the task which has been set for you, and which you are fulfilling. Troops of all the German states sl'e doing taeir part and gre he roicslly defending the fatherland on

 .The eyes of those st home rest with pride and admiration on the deeds of the army and navy. extend to. you the thanks of myself and the father land.
 The collapse of the Macedonian front has occurred in the midst of the hardest struggle. In accord with our allies, I resolved once more to offer peace to the enemy, but I will only extend my hand for an honorable peace. We owe that to the heroes who have laid down their lives for the fatherland and we make thsls our duty to our children.
 Whether arms will be lowered is a question. Until then we must not slacken. We must, as hitherto, exert all our strength unwearily, to hold our ground against the onslaughts of our enemies.
 'iThe hour is grave but, trusting in your strength and in Gods gracious help, we feel ourselves strong enough to defend our beloved father land.
