U. s. TO INFORM GERMANY

It is generally assumed that the Ger man government will receive the armi- stice terms through Washington, as it's request was received in this way. The Austrian case does not form a prece- dent, as the appeal to Washington was supplemented after the collapse of the Austrian front by a direct application to General Diaz the Italian commander. Unless the situation of the German ar mics forces similar action on the west ern front, however, it is assumed here that the German case is being handled through diplomatic channels. The pres ent Berlin civil government claims ab- solute authority over the army.
 The Versailles conferees evidently did not sign the final draft of the armistice terms until late today. Just before 6 D. m. 1t was stated at the state de- partment that the work had not been completed An hour later word went out from the department that an inn portant statement would be forthcom- ing at p. Tn.
 An attempt to apply the lessons of the Austrian armistice to Germanys situa- ton brings out several points upon which military men base forecast of the German terms. For one thing, it Is re- garded as certain that complete evacua- tion of Alsace-Lorraine will be insist ed upon, as well as the occupation of the Rhine Actresses by allied garri- sons. Surrender of the German sub marines and substantial part of the high seas fleet and the occupation of land defenses that protect German naval bases also is implied.

Sufferers Should Realize That 1t Is a Blood Infection and Can Be Permanently
 Relieved

Rheumatism means that the blood has become saturated with uric aGh poison.
 It does not require medical advice to know that good health is absolutely de- pendent upon pure blood. When the muscles and joints become sore and drawn with rheumatism, 1t is not a wise thing to take little salve and by rub bing it on the sore spot, expect to get rid of your rheumatics. You must go deeper than that, down deep into the

 effect was produced in the plains near the sea, but violent rains which caused the streams to rise and overflow the lowlands. Such conditions narrowed the defense. In the concrete case they made the attack easier because such difficulties made it impossible for the enemy to counter attack successfully on our Hanks and gave us an opportunity to concentrate greater forces in nar- rower space.
 SPLIT AUSTRIAN ARMIES
 From the very first moment the in- tention has been the dividing of the Austrian army in such way as to separate the mountain section from that of the plains and possibly outflank the retreat of the Austrian troops. Hence the rapid and vigorous push to- wards Vittorio Veneto, Ponte Nelle Alpi, Longarone, which promptly attained the first aim. Hence the rapid advance in Val Sugana. Grigno and Castelnuoya

 Against about 70 enemy divisions have fought on Italian soil 56 Italian di-' visions, three British divisions, one French division, regiment of American infantry and the Czecho-Slovak legion. Nor should the help given by our brave allies to us be considered slight. Be- sides the intrinsic value of the units which have fought side by side with us, their presence has reaffirmed before the enemy the unity of the aims of all the allies on the Italian theatre as well as on all the other theatres of the war

MUST GO BACK HOME

So far as the German army is con cerned, it must go back into Germany, probably without the whole vast mechanism of war which it carried into France and Belgium. All the big guns, tanks and aircraft, under the Austrian precedent, would be concentrated and left under the direct control of the al- lied and American armies.
 It is pointed out, however, that since Germany is the last of the central pow CTS. when she surrenders there will be no need to provide for the employment of her military equipment by Marshal Foch. There will be no one left against whom to turn the guns. The terms for Germany, therefore, probably will show that variation from the Austrian condi- tions.
 One feature of the Austrian sur render conditions which Is thought here to have been duplicated in the German terms is the entrusting to Marshal Foch of the carrying out of the programmes of demobilization and disarmament
 Attention already is being given here to the next phase after Germany ceases fighting. Officials have not lost sight of the fact that armistices are only

AM in Readiness For Visit
 Of Imperial Potentate Today

If you hear a band-that Is a regu- enthusiasts pressing the pavement en route between the Terminal and the Tut wiler shortly after II o'clock this morn ing, know ye that the great big boy of Shrnerdom is in the hands of Za- mora temple members, and figure out for yourself a great day of mystic ma neuvers, for when the Shriners get into action something happens with q bang, followed by few pings.
 The imperial potentate of all the shrines of the Americas is the guest of all Birmingham Shriners today. He Is Hon. Elias Jacoby, one of the big lawyers of the United States in pri- vate life, but the real big stick of the Mystic Order of Shriners over two con- tinents. He is the guest of honor at all temples he chooses to visit, and Bir- mingham welcomes him here today as a distinguished visitor of a very dis tinguished, thoroughly popular local or ganization--Zamora temple of the Mys- tic Shrine.
 Coming from Chattanooga to Att talla, he is in charge of over half ton of Shrners-Big Jim Patterson, Huge Lew Salter, Monstrous M G. Hub bard and Large W. A. Hood, the biggest physical specimens Zamora has in cap tivity. They went to Chattanooga and the latest advices last night was a tele gram signed by the quartet, which read: We've got him. which denoted that they would board an early rattler out of the Lookout city with the big chief of the desert caravans. Consequent ly, Potentate Frank J. Shepard sent Chief Rab ban J. H. Heineke, accom- panied by. Past Potentates George O'Bear, F. B. Keiser, Arthur Barton, pr. w. W. Ransom, George Blinn, IT,. and Capt. c. F. McGlemery to Attalla with fresh supply of hay for the cam- els in order that the caravan might proceed to Birmingham on time with it's heavy load.
 BAND AND PARADE
 At the station this morning the im- perial potentate will oe met by zamora temple members in great numbers, the patrol band and a parade to the Tut wiler will follow. At 1 o'clock 8 lunch con will be given the high dignitary of Shrinerdoom, following which he will be allowed to take peep at the hot hells of the Ensley steel mills, walk through the sands of the molding beds. and recall the first experiences of his advent into the mysteries of what he now terms the greatest order on earth. Later he will be brought back to the Tutwiler hotel, where Fred Shireman will be made to dust him off and shine his shoes, and Frank Shepard, potentate of Zamora, will then allow him an op portunity for further refreshment be- fore he takes his place in line to receive at the great reception Winnie Currie, chairman of the entertainment commit tee, has planned.

CAMPAIGN CLOSES
 AFTERDEVELOPING
 MUCH BITTERNESS
Democrats and Republicans Profess Confidence That Their Candidates Will
 Win Today

New York, November 4.-Final speeches and statements by candidates and party managers brought the campaign to a close in the eastern states tonight. Both democratic and republican leaders pro- fessed confidence that their candidates would win at the polls tomorrow.
 The campaign, which began in apathy, developed in its closing days in most states into one of the most bitterly con- tested in years. The chief issue has been the election of United States senators ident Wilson for the return of demo- cratic Congress has been the storm cen ter of attack and counter attack.
 Both democrats and republicans were claiming tonight that they would gain seats in Congress, but the indications were that the result would be close ex- cept in districts where one party or the other normally has an overwhelming ma Jority.
 UP IN AIR
 Tn New York party leaders are ''up in the air" because women will vote for the first time and there is no way of knowing how they will divide politically. The republican state chairman predicted that Governor Whitman would be re elected by at least 2O0,o00, but the demo- crats were equally insistent that Alfred E. Smith, president of the New ork city board of aldermen, would be the victor, but they did not claim So large a mar gin.
 Contests for seats in the Senate have occupied the stage in Massa chusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshre De.a ware, New Jersey and West Virginia, While two senators will be elected by New Hampshire, the democrats in that state have centered their energies upon the election of John B. Jameson, for the two years unexpired term of the late Senator Gallinger
 Massachusetts democrats profess to be hopeful of electing former Gov. David I. Walsh as successor to Senator Weeks, who is candidate for another term. The contest in West Virginia between C. w Watson, 8 former United States senator, and Mai Davis Elkins. Jr, son of former senator, is expected to be close.

Some People Said


Some people said that William Jones
Was born to fall
That he was bound TO hammer stone.
In some grim JAIL
But William Jones, somehow. appears
TO worry on through months and years
Without too many kinds OF tears
Or need OF bail.
Some people said that Johnny Smith
Would make a hit
That Luck WAS what he started with
And quite a bit;
But. somehow, Fate ordained tina. ne
Had set sail on a stormy sea-
And threw fit.

But go my way.

Sometimes Il present, surprise:
sometimes the tears start in my eyes,
Then blow away

To lightly cast,
NOT worry with the reasons why
When Luck flies past.
Teach me TO go my little way,
Doing my littlo best to-day;
Teach me TO care not what they say"
