 The assembly also discussed the meas ures for insuring the resumption of the circulation of Belgian coinage in the lib- erated territory, the cablegram said, and decided on various notifications of the communal law to meet the changes in the internal situation due to the German evacuation.
 "In order to demonstrate it's gratitude and admiration for the army" the mes sage adds 'the assembly took under consideration a plan which would greatly increase the compensation to the families of members of the militia.

WORKERS NEEDED

Let Red Cross workers consider very seriously whether they will let rear De their master, or whether they Will stand firmly behind their boys who are need ing so sorely all the work of their hands boys falling in this glorious fight now need bandages and hospital garments boys falling victims to influenza in our camps need bedding and clothing and the government looks to the Red Cross for this aid. Dr. Bowling assures us that necessarily our work rooms must be the last closed. Saturday we had only lo workers in the gauge room. They are women who have never faltered for day. No complaint can be made of the women who are officers at headquarters. or of the members of the supply and inspection department. What we need are daily workers in order that our quota for the month can be finished If they are not forthcoming. those who have borne the heat and drudgery of the work, those who have let service overcome fear, must work at night and possibly Sum days. We take every precaution, and there has not been one of the regular workers who has had to drop out be- cause of influenza. Mrs. John London, cha airman of woman work

STATE REPUBLICAN
 HEADQUARTERS VERY ACTIVELY ENGAGED
Chairman Frank s. Req Mailed 5000 to 10000 Pieces of Literature
 During Past Week

Chairman Frank Req of the state re- publican campaign committee, who opened headquarters in the Lyric build ing about two weeks ago, has been busy the past week sending literature to the voters throughout the state. He has mailed between 5000 and 10000 pieces and states that he expects to cover every community in every county before he is through.
 The committee had arranged to bring number of speakers from the north with national regulations as orators to stump the state in behalf of the repub- lican ticket but the influenza epidemic forced a cancellation of dates and dis rupted their campaign plans to that ex- tent.
 Mir. Req states that the committee and the candidates will make an active cam paign from now until election day, and they expect to roll up the biggest vote for Maj. Dallas Smith. their candidate for governor. that any republican has received in Alabama in many years. Major Smith was wounded in action in France at the same time Capt. Nor timer Jordan was killed, and by the same piece of shrapnel, and at last accounts was still in hospital in that country. He will probably not return to the state before the election.

German Industrial War
 Must Be Met in Future

Rome, Friday, October 1S.-The eoun- tries now arrayed against Germany must organize to combat German industrial war, David Lubin of the International Institute of Agriculture today told a meeting of Italian financiers and gov ernment officials.
 such a war surely is coming he said, and the only way to defeat a renewal of Germany's political meddling in other countries as she invades them with her cheap products will be by the intervention of the wealthy allied coun- tries The allies should establish com mercial bases throughout the world, in- troduce modern methods of manufacture and help the local populations to pro- duce articles formerly purchased from Germany"
 MT Lubin suggested that Italy should be the base for the Mediterranean zone. It is proposed to send commission of business men to the United States to elaborate the plan.
