sea and Steam Up Danube
River.

london, Nov. 49, George Nicoll
Barnes, member OF the British war
cabinet, In a speech at the American
Officers club here, foreshadowed an
Allied attack on Germany from the
east.
The armistice with Turkey might
have been signed earlier, said Mr..
Barnes, but we held the Turks on q
strong agreement.
He explained that the Allies were
committed to a free Arab state, with
Aleppo as the capital, and there was
no hurry to get the Turks out of the
war until Aleppo was captured. Other
places as necessary to the Arabs az
Aleppo also must be surrendered.
The British have been assembling
ships at the mouth of the Dardanelles
for some time and Mr.. Barnes said he
understood the vessels already had
started through the straits. He con.
cluded:
There o Is nothing to prevent
the fleet from going into the Black
sea and up the Danube river to Ger
many's back door and IL the Germans
are going to defend their territory they
must divide their remaining forces be-
tween the western front and the back
door at which we soon shall be knock.

HARDWICK SCORES
PRESIDENT WILSON

Thomasville, Aug 12.-Thomas w.
Hardwick spoke here for exactly two
hours this morning to an audience of
about five hundred people gathered in
the courthouse, explaining just what
he considered his claims for re-elec-
ton to the United States Senate. He
was introduced by p. C. Andrews, a
young attorney, recently moved here
from Cairo. Much interest attached
to what Mr. Hardwick would say in
regard to Mr.. Wilson's letter in the
Telegraph this morning endorsing w.
j. Harris.
He said it was mistake about Har-
ris having supported the Administra-
ton, that he had never done so. He
thought it wrong for the President to
dictate who would be Senator as it
was never intended in our form of gov
eminent that the President of the Uni
ted States should become ward poll
tician, as he seemed to be showing
himself.
