Red Cross Donations
Are Gratifying--Ba
Social Brings $71.OO

The activities of the Red Cross this
week have been confined mostly to
donations, which is after all, as ac-
ceptable as anything else. A few
members for the Lyman Prairie
auxiliary and the Sank Centre branch
also joined the ranks thus making the
enrolment keep on with it's steady
climb.
Miss Ellen Hedin, who teaches at
the brick school house six miles from
Sank Centre on the Long Prairie road,
brought in the greatest sum, ST..
This was raised at basket social Civ
en- at her school house on Thursday,
Feb. Fl. A great deal of credit be-
longs to Miss Hedin and to the good
people who so enthusiastically joined
in with the affair. The school house
was decorated in the national colors
and a patriotic program was given.
After the program the baskets were
auctioned off and brought good prices.
One man considered $500 not bit
too much to pay for his supper. AL
though this district is in Todd county
and the people there were asked to
turn their funds into the Todd county
chapter, the Sank Centre branch out
fitted the drafted boys from there and
1t was thought only right that any
money should be given them. The
executive committee appreciate this
consideration.
Another basket social was. Given at
districts u and s107, of which Miss
Lois Reed has charge. On account of
the severe weather only small
crowd attended. The proceeds, SO.
was given to Mrs. Moynihan on Sat
urday. 1t is Miss Reeds intention to
try again and better results are ex-
pected.
A real sacrifice was that of Harold
Deans when he sold his row boat a
snort time ago and gave all the pro-
hts thereby to the Red Cross. This is
rather unusual and the contribution
caused much comment. Tt is becom-
ing the case that the young people
frequently put the older ones to
shame
The ladies who were paid for cook
ing the dinner on Monday donated
that money for Red Cross purposes
The ladies and amounts were: Mrs.
Kelly, SOC; Mrs. Mcbride, 75c: Mrs.
Chas. Gray, SOC; Miss Wealand. soc.
Unknown giver, SOC.
The Copper Kettle Fund" from the
Kettle which was placed in the en-
trance OF the Junior high school audi
forum on Monday brought $50. Con-
slderlng the numerous other activities
which claimed peoples attention and
the fact that many came unprenarad
the amount was fair. Chris Weihe
also donated $1.0O on Tuesday of this
week.
Sank Centre claims nine new n,em-
bers this week:
Mrs A. C. Kay.
Mrs. w. E. Up.cr.

GERMAN CITIES ARE RA|DEO
BRITISH AlRMEN ATTACK MANU-
FEATURING cENTERs.
Efforts Concentrated On Munition
Plants, Aerodromes and Rail-
way Communications.

London, Nov. Continuing raids
on German manufacturing centers by
planes of the British Royal air force
have resulted in the weakening of the
morale of the German civilian popula-
tion to such an extent that numerous
indignation meetings have been held
and requests for stronger air defenses
forwarded to the German government.
Unlike the German airmen, who
drop their bombs promiscuously on
open towns, Red Cross hospitals and
the like, the British flyers have been
concentrating their efforts on German
munition establishments, aerodromes,
railway communications and carefully
selected military detectives. The two
most frequently raided detectives of
late are the Sablon railway station at
Metz and the station and freight yards
at Thionville. ~.
SO Raids in 90 Days.
These places were raided 50 times
in 80 days and the air force have con-
centrated their efforts at these two
important functions, which are prac-
tically the center of the strategic rail-
roads of Lorraine and the whole Of
the lower Rhine basin.
Interruption to traffic at these points
disorganizes the transport of great
battle zone, and more particularly. the
passage of munitions for troops hold.
ing the line against the French ar.
mics. .
The Badische poison gas works at
Mannheim have been badly knocked
about by the hundreds Of bombs
dropped by British airmen, and our
young pilots are only too glad to have
the opportunity Of destroying these
immense chemical works, where the
mustard and other devilish gases used
by the Germans are manufactured.

VIENNA PLEADING
FOR AN ARM|ST|CE
DEFEAT OF AUSTRIAN ARMIES
AND INTERNAL CHAOS ARE
PROVING TOO MUCH.
ALLIED VICTORY IS DECISIVE
More Than $4,000 Prisoners Have
Been Taken and From the Noun
tain Region to the Plains
the Foe ls In Flight.

London, Nov. Turkey is out Of
the war, and Germany's remaining
ally, Austria-Hungary, badly defeated
on the field of battle, her battleline
rent in twain and with chaos reigning
inside her border, is pleading for an
armistice. ....
Thus far her opportunities have re-
ceived no better answer than the re-
doubling of the efforts of the Allies
to crush her warriors.
The capitulation of Turkey is be-
lfeved to have been an unconditional
one; the victories of the Allied forces
over the Austro-Hungarians threaten
to send what remains Of the enemy
armies reeling back to their border
line shattered and completely van
quished.
More than $4,000 prisoners have
been taken by the Italian, British,
French, American and Czecho-Slovak
forces, and everywhere, from the
mountain region to the plains of
Venetia, the enemy is being sorely
tried.
In the mountains, where stiff re-
sistance had been offered to keep the
foe from entering the back door Of
Austria, the eneIpy's front is crack
ing under the violence of the attacks
and important strategic positions are
being lost
Wedge Driven Into Line.
To the east of the Piave the Allies
have driven in sharp wedge to the
northeast of Belluno, some 20 miles
from their original point Of departure,
and severed connection between the
armies in the north and those on the
Venetian plains.
Over the plains leading to the Aus
trian frontier at the Isonzo river the
invaders everywhere are in full flight,
with the Allied troops pressing them
hard. Here the debacle seems to be
complete.
The enemy in his flight is leaving
behind large numbers of guns and
great quantities Of war stores as he
endeavors to reach the passages over
the Tagliamento river.
1t seems not improbable that on the
plains and in the region east and west
of Belluno large numbers of the en-.
emy are destined to be captured.
Brilliant Aerial Work.
On the western battle front there Is
still little fighting of violent charac-
ter, but the intensive operations Of
the airmen seems to presage an early
return of battle Of major Importance.
In Belgium both the British and
Belgian troops have made slight gains,
while the French on the southern part
Of the line in France have advanced
their line and taken prisoners.
Aside from reciprocal artillery duels
and continued aerial raids by the
Americans and Germans, the American
sectors east and west Of the Meuse
have been comparatively quiet.

TURKEY AGREES TO

ALLIES INSIST ON
OTTOMAN EMPIRE CONCLUDES
AN ARMlsTIcE WITH BRITISH
REPRESENTATIVE
FREES PRISONERS AT ONCE
Truce Provides for Passage Of Bos.
phorus to Black Sea and Occupa-
tion of Dardanelles Ports In
Order to Secure Safe/Passage.

London, Nov. Turkey, weary of
waiting for Germany to fulfill promises
OF financial and military support,
threatened with defeat at the hands
of the Allies, threw up the sponge and
definitely retired from the war as a
minion of the Central Powers.
Armistice terms, including the open
ing Of the Dardanelles to the Allied
fleets, were signed at Salonika by
representatives of the British and
Turkish nations.
The truce went into effect i'm
mediately and the Dardanelles were re-
ported to have been opened.
Official Announcement Made.
Official announcement of the uncon-
ditional surrender of the Ottoman en-
pire was made in the House of Com
mons by Sir George Cave, home Sec
retary.
Sir George said that occupation of
the Turkish forts on the Bosphorus
and in the Dardanelles, and repatria-
tion of Allied war prisoners were two
of the terms Of the truce.
One of the ironies of the surrender
was the taking of the offer of Turkish
capitulation to the British naval au-
thorities by General Townshend, the
British commander captured at Kut.
el-Amara.
He was released from captivity sew
eral days ago to carry the offer to
Vice Admiral Calthorpe, in command
of the Allied forces in the Aegean sea.
Armistice Formally Signed.
The Turkish peace ENJOYS arrived
at Mudros early this week and the
armistice was signed Thursday night
by Vice Admiral Calthrope.
1t is believed, though not officially
reported, that ships of the Allied fleet
have already entered the Dardanelles.
London, Nov. british representa-
tives have concluded an armistice with
Turkey at Saloniki, according to au-
thoritative information received here.
The terms are said to include free
passage of the Dardanelles and to be
such that it will be impossible for
Turkey to resume hostilities.
Turkey is thus definitely out of the
war. -.
The proposals from Turkey are re-
garded as tantamount to unconditional
surrender.
The actual terms of Turkeys peace
proposals have not yet reached Lon
don.
To Withdraw from Italy.
Vienna, Nov. Austrian troops
fighting on Italian soil will be with
drawn, according to an official state
ment issued by the war Office. The
statement reads: Taking into ac-
count the resolve so often expressed
to bring about conclusion of an
armistice and peace, putting an end
to the struggle of nations, our troops
fighting on Italian soil will evacuate
DccuDied regions"

The convention adopted a resolu- tion providing that committees may meet upon call of the presi- dent, but not later than the sec ond Monday in May. President Mehaffy suggests that the com mittees meet in about the middle of March or the first of April, and requests an expression from the delegates. There is little public discussion as to the possi- bilities of the action of the con- vention, but the different inter- ests are keeping in touch with the situation. Owing to the pub lie mind being confused over war conditions, not much at tention is given to the probable action of the convention. But an important matter like this will no doubt create the interest it should before it is finally passed on by vote of the people.
