Three Aviators Were Returning to Texas From Washington, Where
 They Made Test Flights.

Lieuts. w. D. Baucher, IT,, of h. dianapolis, Ind, C.. N. Cone of Del aware, Ohio, and Z. P. Lee of Tole- do, Ohio, landed with two Curtiss training airplanes on the farm of Lucien Daugherty, one mile east of Newport, Wednesday morning at 1O:3O o'clock and spent one and one half hours there while getting a supply of gasoline for the planes, each one of which carries thirty gall Ions. The airmen spent last night in Dexter, Mo-, which place they left this morning at o'clock. They were re- turning to Ellington Field between Houston and Galveston, Texas, from Washington City, where they gave demonstration and test flights, leav- ing the capital city last Thursday.
 They were called to Washington from Texas to demonstrate bombing flights. Lieut.. Baucher, who is 27 years of age, was the first aviator to fly over Washington at nlgnJ, Ilylng 17OO miles in each direction from that city last week, demonstrating the ease with which bombing flights might be carried out in Germany. He says he met with splendid success.
 Ellington Field is the largest avia- tion camp in the world, and bombers , train there exclusively.
 The aviators said they maintained an average speed on trips of 70 miles per hour and usually kept at height of 1,5O0 feet. They were held up In Ohio for two days by snow storm last week. On cross country trips in the states the aviators do not fly at night, they said.

GERMAN LIE.

The most popular German lie of the season is the story that army doctors and Red Cross nurses have been shot at sunrise for injecting disease germs into soldiers. Every army camp in the United States has been named as the scene of the tragedy. No incl dent of the sort has occurred at any camp or hospital either here or abroad. "The reports are ridiculous says the war department, "and with out the slightest foundation in fact There have been no medical officers nurses, or anyone else executed at any camp in the United States o1 abroad for any such cause"
 The purpose of these stories is ev- ident. They are designed to depress civilian morale by worrying the rela- tives and friends of the men in ser vice and to weaken the faith of the American people in the efficiency of their war department.
 A similar story alleges that infEu- enza has been spread by means ot germs in asperine tablets. That sto- ry is equally ridiculous and untrue Germs would not live in such me dium even if the Germans wished them to.

ARK ANSAS FARMERS
 FACE A FAILURE.


 Arkansas farmers face failure in the corn crop next year, unless they take every precaution immedi- ately to select supply of good seed, either from their own corn or from an available source.
 Our people must know that good seed corn is scarcer than ever before and that without it another poor crop in 1919 is a possibility, and this would be little short of a calamity" :" says Dean Martin Nelson, of the Col lege of Agriculture, Fayetteville.
 Do not take chances. Do not gamble on so serious a matter. Se- lect your seed corn and get it out to itself. Unless seed is separated from the rest of the corn, great damage may be the result. Pick plenty of seed. Have twice as much as you need. If you have a surplus your neighbor will undoubtedly need it.
 To save seed corn, place in a dry place with good ventilation and where mice and rats will not destroy it. Re- member that millions more of people are depending upon us for food durng the coming year, and there are

LATEST REPORTS INDICATE HOUSE TO BE REPUBLICAN CONTROL OF SENATE IS YET
 GREATLY IN DOUBT Democrats Claim the Senate Will Be Democratic by at Least One and That Small Margin Will
 Prevail in House
SPEAKER CLARK IS LEADING
(By The Associated Press.J

New York, 5 o'clock.-The next house of representatives will be re- publican on the face of the latest re- turns. The political completion of the senate is still in doubt.Apparently 219 republicans, 193 democrates, one so- cialist and one independent have been 'ele~.ed to the hous. Definite returns from thirty-one districts are missing or in doubt. The latest senate figure is so close as to make it certain that probably not until all the returns are received from seven doubtful states could it be determined which party will have control. The democrats, according to available returns this Afternoon, have forty-five seats and the republicans forty-four.
 (By The Associated Press.)
 New York, Nov. 6.-Both the New York Times and the New York World this morning conceded the re- publican party will control the next congress. Both the democratic and republican party managers this morning predicted they will have sub stantial working majorities in the next congress, but returns showed between fifty and seventy y-five con- gressional districts are still unre- ported, and the lineup is so close that the scales might easily be turned in favor of either party. The contest for the governorship of New York is so close between Gov. Whitman and Alfred E. Smith, democrat, that it appeared the soldier vote would settle it.
 Members of the United States sen ate defeated include Weeks of Mas sachusetts, Lewis of Illinois and Sauls- bury of Delaware. Representative Sherley of Kentucky, chairman of the appropriations committee, was also defeated. In Michigan Henry Ford is running behind Truman H. New berry, republican candidate for sena- tor. In Missouri former Governor Folk was defeated for the senate by Judge Spencer, republican. Late re- turns from Kentucky indicate Gov ernor Stanley was elected senator over Bruner, republican,

Associated Press Summary.)

Associated Press Summary.
 Germany's shattered armies are in rapid retreat from the Belgian front fer to the Aisne river. The retirement is so rapid it is difficult to determine the exact location of the contending forces along front of nearly one hundned miles. The British have cleared Normal forest and threatcnto. drive wedge between Mons and Maubeuge. To the south the French have forced the enemy back three to four miles, while along the Mouse the Americans, cooperating with the French, have moved nearer to the Se- dan Loonguyon railroad. Ghent is closely invested by allied troops. The Americans north of Verdun have crossed the Mouse at three places.

work bodies, according to Washington advices, and it is expected that very few parts of the country will find it necessary to give an entire week to the campaign to raise their respective quotas.
 "It is manifestly plain to all that the people of the United States would not approve of financial campaign every month, which would have been necessary if each of these organiza- tions and the Red Cross had made their campaigns separately" said a prominent official of one of the larg- est of the organizations. And this would have been just the result, if we include four Liberty Bond drives per year. Under the present plan we can make one strong drive and have l it all over with within few days
 It is stated by high officials that
 there are two distinct reasons why the approaching campaign should be- a success even in the possible event of
 an immediate peace. There is as yet no assurance that the Germans are
 to cease hostilities,, and may at
 any minute show their hand in q terrible onslaught upon the all lied armies. In case of an immediate
 cessation of hostilities, it will be ne-
 cessary to hold the, millions of sol-
 diers lover there" for possibly eigh-
 teen months for the purpose of garrl-
 soning the large German cities and
 ports and supervising the mammoth
 tasks of reconstruction in Russia. In l any event, the need for large sums of
 money is imperative, and it is said 1 there is not single one of the seven
 great organizations which is not es- sential to the welfare and well being ,l of our soldieds here and abroad. The seven organizations to bene- fit from this great campaign are the Young Mems Christian Association, Young Women's Christian Associa-
 tion, National Catholic War Council Knights of Cofumbus), War Camp } Community Servce, American Libra ,lry Association and the Salvation Army.

TO INDEPENDENT PATRONS

We have made a special request of all the boys who deliver the Daily Independent to place the papers on porches of the homes.
 This demand was made because of the fact as the days grow shorter and the messages from the front are an hour later arriving each evening, with few exceptions, the paper will neces- sarily be delivered later than when days were longer and we ask the pa. irons to make reports where this re- quest has not been observed by the boys.

COUNTY NURSE Is
 HIGHLY PRAISED Secretary Of Public Health Associa- ton Tells Of Work Done Here
 By Mrs. Elizabeth Spitzer.

One of the most important activi- ties of the Arkansas Public Health Association is it's campaign for pub lie health nurses in the various coun- ties. Jackson county several days ago made an appropriation of $1,SO0 for the purpose.
 Mrs. Charles L. Shafer, executive secretary of the association, who re- sides in Little Rock, has given out the following statement for publication:
 Jackson county appropriated $75O for the work last year, but at that time neither the judge nor the mem bers of the court fully realized the great good the country would derive from this fund. The nurse had been in the county less than two months when the influenza epidemic came She was a trusted lieutenant whom the doctors appreciated, for Jackson county had it's share of the epidemic tragedies. One night this nurse was the sole watcher by the bedside of two workmen, both of whom were raging in delirium when found in their cabin in the outskirts of New port, and who died before morning, On another occasion she brought to a family in which the mother and three children, one tiny babe, were all ill with the disease in the same bed on which lay the dead body of the hus- band and father"

With the Amercan Army on the Oe- dan Front, Nov. 6-German resist ance against the Americans stiffened considerably west of the Mouse to- day, the Germans using artillery gas and machine guns. The Germans last night deluged the village of Beau mont, where there were more than 400 civilians with poisoned gas.
 Washington, Nov. 5.-Marshal Foch has the terms of armistice for Ger many and awaits application of them by the German military command in the field
 The government at Berlin is so in- formed in note which Secretary Lansing handed to Minister Sulzer of Switzerland tonight, announcing that the allies have declared their willing ness to make peace on the principles enunciated by President Wilson. The note now is on the cables. In 24 hours it should be in the hands of the German government and the world may know whether an immediate end of the war is at hand.
 Publication of details of the armis- | tice terms still is withheld. They may not be made known until the Germans
 F accepted or rejected them, a the course followed by the allies in dealing with Bulgaria, Turkey and Austria. Only the details are in doubt however, and no one doubts that ac- ceptance means abject surrender. The statement has been authorized that tie drastic conditions under which Austria passed out of the war have been followed closely and in an- swer to queries for further informa- tion, officials said tonight the state ment of Premier Clemenceau, cabeled from Paris by the Associated Press told the story:
 "The terms" said M. Clemenceau, fare what President Wilson himself recommended to us for the security of our troops, the maintenance of our su- periority and the disarmament of the enemy in so far as that is necessary to prevent resumption of hostili- ties."
 Secretary Lansing's note gives the 
 1 first hint of what has been going on l in the momentous conferences at Paris between Colonel House and the allied premiers. It quotes memo randum of observations" by the allied governments on the presidents cor respondence with the German author ities disclosing the approval of the presidents peace program with reser- yation of freedom of action in the peace conference on the moot ques- ton of freedom of the seas and spe- | cific statement that by restoration IS meant that Germany must make com l pensation for alg damags done to civilian population and their property
