COUNTY GOES OVER
TINE TOP as USUAL
United War Work Campaigners Re-
ported Over the Top We'd
nesday Night-EndS
Monday.

d A. Cook, chairman of Little River
County United War Works Campaign
wired in d report Wednesday night
announcing that the county was over
the top. The quota for this county
was $4,000, The actual figures were
not given of the total raised to date,
but it is something over $4,000 This
is the usual thing in Little River coan-
ty whether it be Liberty Bond issue
or some o. the activities connected
with the war. Since the campaign
does not en5 until Mnoday night, and
since every loyal citizen will be ex-
pected to do his part, the grand total
is likely to be we'll over the top. Ash
down school district with a quota Of
81 400 has reached $1,000. The cam
D@ign will continue until the end. The
boys will be over there for long time
yet, and time must not tie allowed to
hang heavy on their hands. The need
will be greater than ever during the
reconstruction period

Men Between 36 and 45 Need Not
Fill Them Out.

Washington, Nov. 13.-Men be-
tween Sc and 45 years of age who
have received but not filled out ques-
tionnaires were asked today by Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder to re-
turn them in blank form to local
boards. The boards are Instructed to
cancel all entries relating to men of
these classes and they will be con-
sidered as no longer bound by the Sc
lective service law. Classification of
youths of IS, which will be contin-
ued. is regarded by the General Staff
of the army as most valu3 BILE for sta
tistical purposes and its bearing upon
ro5sible future military problems.
Draft boards Also have been notified
of the possibility that they may be
needed as the active local agents in
governmental demobolization plans.

GERMAMY'S TROOPS
begin EVACUATION
Marshal FOch VIII Take Possession OF
Forts of Metz and Strassburg
With Elaborate
Ceremony.

Paris, Nov. 14.-Germany' troops
began to evacu2te France and Bel
gium Tuesday The allied troops then
moved forward, the Americans ad-
vancing in the direction of Metz and
Strassburg.
Marshal Foch, commander in chief
of the allied armies, will make solemn
entries into those fortresses on Sun
d2y in the presence Of President Poln-
care and Premier Clemenceau. The
marshal will ride into the cities on
Croesus, his !avorite charger
The occupation of the territory on
the left E2nk Of the Rhine and the
bridgeheads will not be undertaken by
the allied forces until later. The lib
Grafton of Belgium promises to be
rapidly accomplished. On the oc-
casion Of the re-entry OF the Belgian
sovereigns into Brussels, the French
government l..;s decided 10 present to
the queen the grand Gordon of the
Legion of Honor and to her oldest
son the heir apparent, the Chevaliers s
Gross and the Cross o. W3r.
In conformity with the agreement
reached between Marshal Foch and
the Germen delegates Il period of five
days has been allowed to the enemy
in which to hand over all the arma-
ment 2nd material stipulated in the
armistice.
Soldiers Getting Beyond Control.
There are many indications that the
German soldiers are getting beyond
the control of their officers. In some
places they have attacked their COM
manGers and raisei the red flag Of
revolt. Also tley have been commit
ting :cts Of violence against the in
habitants and pillaging in violation of
the terms of the armistice.
AS a result the commanders Of some
of the German troops facing the al
lies have offered to Immediately hand
ever their war materi and prisoners.
Because o. the acts Of violence by
German soldiers, Marshal Foch has
sent Q message to the German high
command saying that it will be eX-
pected to take measures to stop these
acts and that if this is not done, the
allieG command will end them.
A German wireless message receiv-
ed here says that Field Marshal Won
HiaGenEurg remains as head of the
supreme German Gr,ny command.

Although the British, Belgian,

their arms, they are on the alert for
any eventuality. And thus it IS pur-
posed that they shall remsin until the
peace which will make the world sac

AS the German armies in the west

Germany for an early peace. Starva-

many, which once boasted that it
would throw a circle of iron about the
British Isles and starve the people
into submission, today is begging not
lone for peace but for bread.

WHO have called upon the s3ilors to
Gefend the country against the "un-
heard OF presumption" contained in
the allied armistice terms.
Armistice Terms Amended.
Amendments of the armistice terms
to Germany show that the allies are
more eXacting in their demands tnan
VS. at first reported. The Teutons
are to be stripped entirely OF their
submarines.
A reduction in the quantity of some
of the military equipment TO be deiiv-

railroad cars, 10000 must tie surren-
derod
The treaties of Bucharest and Brest-
Litovsk must be renowned and the
evacuation of the Rhine lands on both
sides of the river sh IL be completea
within 81 days. The countries on the
left bank of the Rhine are to be ad-
ministered by the local troops of oc-
