AUSTRIAN TERMS ID INDICATE WHAT HUNS MAY EXPECT Free Movement of Allied Forces Through Austria Believed to Be One

Washington, November 3.-Armis- tice terms which the Austrians have accepted are expected here to furnish a clear index to those which the supreme war council at Versailles is preparing for Germany.

HYSTERICAL WITH JOY THE RESIDENTS
 OF VALENCIENNES
 ACCLAIM RESCUERS
(Continued from Page one)

The capture of Valenciennes was fine Piece of generalship. In their drive of yesterday the Canadians pushed across the Rhonelle and established their lines east and west below the city, then turn ing sharply southward. Above the city's northern limits the whole country had been flooded, so there was no possibility of attacking across it.
 Thus the Germans were cut off by wa ter to the north and by the British to the west and south The eastern exit from the city was the only one left open. One other possible means of escape was by smashing off the point of the Cana+ dian salient to the south of the city.
 Then the Germans rushed out, by the eastern gates of the city, all possible ma4 terial, leaving snipers and machine gunS ners who had been giving their lives to protect the rear of the main GermaIt line. German transports raced to the northeast along the highway leading toI Mons. Meanwhile. British guns wer@ working destruction in the retiring ranks of the foe.

 After the capture of Belgrade the Germans and Austrians, beaten, retired to the north bank of the Danube. The Second Serbian army has reached the Bosenian frontier. Serbia is almost in its entirety freed from the enemy.
 '"rhe battles which decided this great victory began on September 15. From the 24th the line of communica- ton on the Vardar was cut. Uskup was captured on the 29th. The disloca- tion of the Bulgarian forces was de- stroyed by it's equalization and on the 30th hostilities came to an end
 "The fighting was continued by the defeated Austro-German troops. On October 12 the battle at Nish was marked by the rout of the four enemy divisions and the rupture of the great artery of communication of the cen traI empires in the direction of Con stantinople. On the 18th Lom Palanka was reached and the Danube roads cut. Then came the last cpisode-Belgrade was taken by eSe First Serbian army, to which was given the honor of en- tering the capital. This army partici- pated in all the fighting, marching without cease and without repose, al- ways in contact with the enemy, whom it held by the throat, very often badly provisioned, but knowing no fatigue. and no hunger. It pushed ever for ward by will to conquer at any price.
 "On their part, the allied troops made their greatest efforts to bring to suc- cessful conclusion the task confded to them of crushing the common en- emy."

CHEERFUL HEART GOES FAR
When You Come to Think of 1t, the
Man With "Grouch" Is Seldom
Popular.

To keep the face cheerful, the voice
cheerful, to do good like medicine,
we must keep the heart cheerful.
This is not an easy matter. One does
not simply have to say: II will be
cheerful" and then have it so. He
has to work for cheerfulness, just as
he works to be honest or kind, or
brave, or learned. He must be looking
out for bright things to see and do.
He must deliberately, yet quickly,
choose which things he will think
about and how. He has to shut his
teeth, as it were, sometimes, and turn
away from the gloomy things, and do
something to bring back the cheerful
spirit again. If we are cheerful for
others, we are doing for ourselves.
Good given, means good sent back.
Cheerfulness can become habit, and
habit sometimes helps us over hard
places. A cheerful heart seeth cheer
full things.-Exchange.

And when the police court com
plant clerk asked her to explain fur

She sits up all night putting evil
thoughts into my head. She won't lei

It was a declaration that made the
woman next the motherly old soul al
the counter open one eye wide in
amazement. That woman couldn't
open both eyes, for her husband had
BACKED and closed one.
The complaint clerk tried to soothe
the motherly old woman, but she kept
on insisting that her neighbor sat UP
nights transferring evil thought from
bedroom to bedroom. She wanted
something done, she said, for. as she
insisted over and over, "No decent per-
son can do that"
The clerk had to humor her and Il
was long time before he finally got
rid Of her.-Detroit Free Press.

Secret of Longevity of
Indian Is That He Lives
In Open, Eats Plain Food

Chief Manitoweg (White Wings), an
Indian evangelist of the Siwash tribe,
who has been preaching in churches in
Harlem and in New Jersey, told his
auditors of the good health and longev-
ity of the Indian.
"The Indian" he said, "who lives in
his native state on the reservation at
tainS an age that few members of the
white race would believe possible.
am aware that my race is rapidly be-
coming extinct, but this Is because so
many Indians have followed the mode

years old, and know Indians today on
the reservations who are more than
one hundred, and whose births are
matter of record. l am sixty-nine my
self, but my years trouble me not at
all. once knew an Indian woman
who lived to be one hundred and TWEEN
ty-eight years old.
Il am often asked what is the secret
of the longevity of these Indians. The
answer is simple, SO long as an Indian
VIII live in the open, drink pure water
only and eat plain food. Many such In
dams are at their best physically at
the age Of fifty. The Indian at fifty
still has his hair, his teeth and his
eyesight, and can run ten miles before
breakfast without an effort | was
preaching recently at church in New
ark, N. j., and after the service a man
of thirty-fOur came to me and asked
why it was that SO many Indians had
thick hair and were not afflicted with
badness. He remarked that he had
never seen baldheaded Indian. This
man himself was as bald as billiard
ball.
81 will tell you, my FRIEND / told
him, it is the truth, although you will
probably not believe me. When the In
dian goes to bed he at once goes to
sleep; it is different with the white
man, who takes his troubles to bed
with him, and always has something
on his mind.

Trouble on Parnassus.

The Poetry Society of America ap-
pears to be stumped. It's constitution
fails to provide for the dropping of a
member except for non-payment of
dues. There is no provision giving
power to expel writer's of free verse
or even bad verse. And now the ex-
ecutive committee wishes to erase from
the society's roster the name of one
who has, in his day, written good
poetry, but who, it is alleged. has not
been so patriotic as the executive COM
mittee thinks he should have been. In
such dubious cases it is always wise to
turn to "Alice in Wonderland" where
the King Of Hearts reads out rule 40,
zone of our oldest rules" which for
babe anybody more than 40 feet high

held that the offending poet is physi-
cally-not prosodically-too short or
too long.-New York Post.

Latin and Hebrew.

For a parallel to Hebrew, which, at1
ter having been numbered so very long
among the dead languages, is becom-
ing today again living, spoken
tongue, we must turn to Latin
though the analogy is not perfect, If
decidedly romantic, in either case.
Through all the dreadful days of bar
barism in Europe the Roman Catholic
church helped to preserve the Latin
language from Oblivion. When Greek
had all but persisted from the ken of
mankind at large, when even Homer
had almost been forgotten, the lam
guage of the Caesars still rendered in
ternational communication possible.

Difference Between Enemy
Alien and the Alien Enemy.

The distinction between the terms
senemy alien and "alien enemy" ap-
pears to be lost on large number OF
persons, who use the term interchange
shly as having the same meaning. An
enemy alien is any person who is cit
izen or subject Of one of the countries
with which the United States is at war.
So long as he is well behaved, observes
the laws of this country and neither by
xDeech nor act attempts to injure this
country or aid the country OF which he
Sc o subject, he continues to be only
nm enemy alien, and is not regarded as
dangerous, but if he engages or at
Sempts to engage in any overt acts
against this country his status changes
To that of alien enemy, which puts him
in the dangerous class and makes him
Mable to Imprisonment or internment.
All subjects Of Germany and Austria
YSying in the United States today are
eaerny aliens, but, fortunately, only
xv,au proportion Of them are such as
a.sy properly be regarded as alien enc

Tin Cans to Aid in
Winning War
Garbage. Too. VIII Assist, But Fancy
Articles N1 Deemed Necessary
by US.

Jade carving, lacQuered shrineS and
carved wood jewel boxes will not help
win the war, in the opinion of the
American government, but tin cans
and garbage will.
In its steady progress toward elm
ination Of the great American waste,
the government has put the three for
mer items on the restricted imports
list. The latter items are being looked
after by other departments of the gov

Tennis rackets, tennis, golf, base,

and similar luxuries also are on a
newly issued restricted imports list.

If you gather 1000 or 5000 of them,

them, according to quotations fur

So worried has the government be-
come about the sinful waste of gar

Cheese, Good Solid Food,
May Take Place OF Meat

In 1881 we shipped abroad nearly
100000, 900 pounds Of cheese, in 1914,
inst before the war cut off our trade,
we shipped only 100000, says William
h.eayitt Stoddard in the Mothers Mag
hzine. We simply did not appreciate
cheese. and we came to rely on other
nations for our supply. We relied on
foreign cheese makers to such an ex-
tent that whereas in 1900 we bought
only 13,5OOOO0 pounds from abroad, in
1914 we bought nearly five times as
much. or 64,OOO,OOO pounds, much OF
which could and should have been pro-
dneed in the United States. 1t is
bound to take some years to reverse
this drift of things. BY legislative hat
or court decree no governmental power
can induce folks to eat cheese. Per-
Aaps the war will do what courts and
rOngress cannot.
