THE MURPHY SHOWS
ARE ALL GOOD

The j. F. Murphy Shows are with
us all this week. They opened on
Monday evening and the attendance
for the first night was very good. The
threatening weather Tuesday evening
kept hundreds away from the show
grounds, however, the crowd was
large and good natured, and they
most all remained until the high dive
was over at 1890 o'clock. 1t can
be truthfully said for Mr.. Murphey
that his attractions are all new, novel,
bright, clean and refined. 1t is de-
cidedly the cleanest carnival Greene
vile has ever had. The attaches, all
of them, are gentlemanly and cour
teous, No profanity or vulgarity
heard on the show grounds. The la
dies and children of the city need
have no fears in visiting the shows
without an escort.
The shows win be here all week
The high dive takes place every after
noon at o'clock and night at 10
o'clock.

Redpath Chautau-
qua to Play Benefit
For Red Cross

We are Informed that arrangements
are being made to have the Chautau-
qua play a benefit here for our local
Red Cross Chapter. A committee has
been appointed who is calling upon
the citizens of the town and commu-
nifty today, soliciting their assistance
in the way of the purchase of season
tickets. Our people should certainly
manifest an interest in the Chautau-
qua on this account, if for no other
reason. BY the earnest cooperation
of our people the Red Cross Chapter
could be made to realize handsome
sum from this plan, and we dare say
the committee will receive the en-
couragement they are entitled to in
their efforts along this line.

Although the note is regarded as an awkward attempt to meet the condi- tions laid down by President Wilson for consideration of an armistice, no one here believes that an immediate cessation of hostilities is in sight. Gen erally the opinion is that the only step possible at this time would be to sanc- ton, with approval of the Allied gov ernments, arran gements to be dictated by Marshal Foch in the field for the evacuation of France and Belgium. As any such arrangement necessarily would safeguard the supremacy now held by the Allied armies an armis- tice virtually would mean surrender by the Germans.
 The general tone of the note, to- gether with the significant statement that 'the offer of peace and an armis- tice has come from a government which is free from an arbitrary and irresponsible inf1uence," strengthens the belief here that there is a gen.

FIFTH LIBERTY LOAN
Campaign for More Money to Be Launched in March or April Date and Amount Uncertain.

Washington, Oct. 22.-Long before the Fourth Liberty loan figures have been counted up, or the honor flags have been entirely distributed or the money paid in, preparations have been started at the treasury for tho Fifth Liberty loan.
 The date has not been determined nor the amount, nor any other fea- tures The only certain knowledge Is that that there will be another and that it probably vii come in the spring of 1919, in Masch agr April. Whether present German Waneuveres for peace are successful or not the government by that time will need more billions to pay the war costs which can decrease only gradually, even if cessation of military effort should come.
 Within few months the treasury again will begin issuing new certih- cateS of indebtedness as a means of financing itself, and by next spring the accumulated billions of these must be redeemed out of proceeds from sales of more bonds.
