moral viewpoint.
The German people are not moral

up a government that stood for moral
principles.
The kaiser is efficient in everything
that tears down mankind. Germany
claims to have body similar 10 our
Congress to act as a check on the
kaiser. but this is more q mere Tor
mality than law-making body, BE-
cause what the kaiser says usually
goes. They regard treaties as mere
scraps Of paper. For example, take
BELGIUM. Almost all Of the civilized
countries signed q treaty making
Belgium q buffer state-that ID, the
countries signing agreed to protect
pelgium from invasion, etc. Germany
was enc Of the signers Of this treaty.
I'm 1914 the Germans disregarded this
treaty and (herself q signer OF the
treaty invaded Belgium to get at the
back of the French fortresses. But
THE plucky Belgians interfered and
stopped the invasion till England and
France came to her aid. This act
probably saved the war from ending
lin Germany's favor at the time
Then also the Germans have sen!
cut their pesky submarines to destroy
the lives Of women and children. They
lare merciless and sink neutral mer-
chant ships without warning, and Of
Item sink the lifeboats.
This kind of warfare is contrary to
the law Of nations.
And after all Of this has happened
Ii think efficiency centered in autoc-
racy more harm than good. But If all
people would follow the path OF
American efficiency the world would
be a place of freedom and good will.
So help to put down this kind OF
efficiency by buying a Liberty Loan
Pond on at least War Savings Stamps

GETTING BY

where they can use q period when
they have signed their names.
Very few men these days are ex-
allied without merit, and one thing is
certain: q man will not remain long
in good position unless he is COM
Epetent to fill 1t. Take the shipbuild-
ers Of the nation, they can't "get by"
unless they know how to build ships
THAT will stand the test of the enemy.
A mere boat will not do. They have
to build vessel with a Gibraltar
foundation and cement each seam to-
lgether so closely that drop Of wa
ter can not get in. It has to stand the
test. No leaks are allowed.
It is the same with character build
Ing: First we must lay good foun-
dalton, and master the little details
Of building. Have high ideals, faith
in God and man, and as we walk
down the avenue Of the future, let us
strive to be unselflsh in our motives
and learn to sacrifice for those who
are near and dear to US.
Getting BY" without enthusiasm

Armour says enthusiasm Is the art OF

BANKMEAD PATNFsNDERS WERE HERE FRIDAY Making Trip Over Southern Route of Great National Hign-
 way--Here in
 Rain.

The Bankhead Highway pathfinders arrived in Ashdown Friday morning at 10 o'clock right on their schedule in spite of the soaking rain that had been falling since the night before. They were on their return from El Paso, Texas, having gone west over the Okla homa, route, which passes through Sevier county to the north of this county. The party was met by an escorting party from Ashdown at Tex arkana and Ogden, including Chair man A. N. Wood, Seth c. Reynolds, Lil- lard Johnston and Geo. M Johnston The pathfnding party YVES composed of the following:
 J. A. Rountree, Secretary Bankhead highway, of Birmingham, Ala, who was in charge of the party; w. E. Henkle, chairman of pathfinding par ty; J. w. Quinn, engineer, M o. Eld- ridge, U. s. Government engineer.
 The committee of escort was in charge of Judge J. G. Thweat of De- Valls Bluff, and was as follows: Geo Bedding, Hot Springs, Judge E. R. Screeton, Hazen, Ed c. w. Wilkins, Hazen, Asa Wright, Zazen, M. J. Gil ipsie, DeValls Bluff, R. E. McDaniel, Philadelphia, j.. W. McMullen, Arkadel- phia, !9. S. Hudgins. The following were with the Hot Springs party of escort: Harry Jones, Joe Gilman, pr. Ellis, M ]. Henderson, Chas. Gousley, w. w. Gentry, Burt Burke. Burt John son of Highland, Henry Latimer of Mineral Springs and Martin Walsh of Nashville were with the party.
 The party stopped at the Johnson Hotel where they were met by a num- Der of Ashdown citizens, but as the stop was for only a few minutes no program of formal reception was giv- en. They were all pleasant gentlemen to meet and it is regretted that the stop could not have been longer and IHc Weduuer Idlrer Tn OrQer that we may have become better acquainted and the town shown to better advan- tages. The gentlemen were taking notes of everything of importance con- nected with the town and country and the resources. They were out on a business mission rather than a social one. Data had been prepared by a committee, which was given the party and which contained in concise form the facts, which they would be most interested in.
 The party left here at 10:3O for Nashville, where they expected to take luncheon. They were to pass through Wilton and Brownstown and make short stop at Mineral Springs The gentlemen of the party did not express themselves as to the probable route to be chosen, bat some of the escorting party felt very optimistic over the southern route being the one chosen. There is no doubt that this

BERLIN ERaVOYS hsEE:TiMG
 WITH MARSHAL FOCn
But Washington Is Not Informed or the Outcome-LansingD Denies Per- sistent Report That Agree
 meEt is Reacllad.

Washington, Nov. 7.-L2te tonight the American government had not been advised Of the outcome of the meeting between Marshal FOch ana the German armistice envoys, arrang- ed to take place within the French lines at o'clock this afternoon, Paris time
 The State Department authorized from time to time during the even ing repetitions of an official denlal issued by Secretary Lansing at 2:Io D. m. Of the false report of the sign ing of an al llnistice which had thrown Washington, with other cities of the country, into an uproaTious, premature peace celebration Official dispatches added nothing to informG.ion received curing the day announcing that the German representatives were ap- ,proaching the western front.
 Mir. Lansings S statement, support ed ty @ similar Che from Secretary Baker, and displayed on newspaper bulletin boards, failed to check the wildly enthusiastic demonstration which started when an afternoon pa per appeared on the street with the false story spread across the first lpsjge in black type.
 The report spread over the city by al lnroIl soon bells were ringing, whistles blowing and the streets were throng- ed with people.
 For time the citizens commit tees, which had planned a demonstra- tees, which had planned demonstra- tions in anticipation of peace within & few days, held tlfeir balance and announced their determination to await an official announcement. But excitement on the streets rose to hys- teria, crowds assembled be.ore the White House and government depart ments and soon the committees were as wild as anybody else and the dem OnSCTnJlOn WdS ullueT way 1odto and banners were paraded on Penn- sylv- mia avenue, and other broeJ1 thoroughfares, bands played and ban ners were hoisted.
 Quick Action Expected.
 It is regarded as possible, however, that since the German delegates did not know the terms of the armistice until they met Marshal Foch, they might have planned to await at least a perfunctory word from Berlin be- fore closing the negotiations. With military telegraphs and wireless at tlgeir disposal little time would be consumed in this reference. The Ger mans, of course, want no delay in stop ping the American and allied ad- vances, in view Of the tremendous pressure upon the government by the populace and by the mutinous soldiers and sailors of the North sea force and of the panic-str:cken Bava.ians, who are desperately anxious to avert an in-

Americans are Nearing Sedan, im- p0rtant Railroad P0in;-British Cap-
 ture Important Ground and rench Move Across River Aisne.

Paris, Nov 6.-Deserted by all her former allies her great military ma chine in the process of destruction by the onslau ghts of the entente allied armies; her dream of world domina- ton dissipated, Germany begs for cessation of hostilities, despite the price she knows she must pay.
 Scarcely had the decision of the Supreme WaF Council at Versailles with regard to cessation of hostili- ties with Germany been made public than Germany was speeding emissaries to Foch to learn what the commander in chiefs terms are to be.
 In France and Flanders the enemy forces are being given no rest. Along the whole battle line in France the British, French and American troops have made further material gains and reclaimed many towns and villages. Thousands more of Germans have been captured on all sectors under et- tack. Generally the enemy forces are in slow retreat, but at some points they are offering sharp resistance, particularly against the Americans in the Mouse river region and the French in the old Argonne sector.
 The latest gains of the British on the western side of the battle front iv,f nt nf cnUpra1 towns of great importance, the gain ing of more territory east of the Scheldt canal, where the Canadians are on the attack and in the taking of several railway functions of high stra- tegic value.
 Along the Mouse the Americans con- tinue steadily to push forward and at last accounts were almost at the gates of Sedan, dominating point on the German line of communication to the i, east. Both east and west of the riv- CT the Germans have materially stiff fened their resistance, using large numbers fo machine guns and gas in great QudlllLlCS III Gu C1ucdVOI lO impede their progress
 TO the west of the Americans sec tors the Germans near Rethel are holding a bridgehead to protect their retreating armies east and west In doing so, however, they are forming dangerous salient in which capture is likely should the French break through. Numerous additional cross ings of the Aisne have been made by the French Altogether the situation of the German army is critical one. The British are continuing their advance to the east of Normal forest according to Field Marshal Haig's , night report from headquarters, and have occupied numerous villages and the important railway junction at Aulnoye.

London, Nov. 7.-Apparently revo- lution, long feared by the Berlin au- thorities, has broken out in the Ger man empire.
 It is feared that the entire Ger man navy and a great part of Schles- ! wig is in the hands of revolutionaries This is based on reports received Ill Copenhagen from Kiel, the great Ger man naval base. It is. said that Kiel is governed by the Mariners, Sol diers and Workers Council. A dispatch from Stockholm says
 that continuous demonstrations are
 taking place in Berlin an dthat 20,
 coo deserters from the German army are marching through the streets O.

 Travellers report serious riots il
 other parts of Germany, according tc this same dispatch. The rioters are
 demanding peace.
 It is reported that Altona, across l the river from Hamburg, is in the power of revolutionary soldiers. The
 airdrome at Apenra,de in nortT Schleswig has been occupied and tnt
 a:rmen placed under arrest. These reports are given partial ol : ficial confirmation by the semiofli
 cial Wolff News Bureau of Beriir
 which says that all work has beer
 stopped at Hamburg because of g
 strike and that un1isciplined acts and outr. ges have taken place. The bureau says that similar acts have taken place at Lusbeck.

 Bavaria Threatens Rebellion.
 It is said that the premier of Ba- varia has sent note to the German government saying that if an armi-
 stice is not concludeS at once, he will
 be obliged to order the Bavarian
 troops to return from the front. Ii
 is said that this action is due to the
 fact that Bavaria is menaced on her
 southern frontier by allied forces and
 that the internal situation in Ba-
 varia is serious.

 fed the government that their repre-

Washington, Nov. 6.-Congression- al election returns still were incom- plete at 9:45 o'clock tonight, but it was apparent that the Republicans had taken control of the House of Representative by a majority of at least II, probably more
 The Senate was very close with the outcome depending on final re- turns in Michigan, where Henry Ford was running a close contest with Tru- man H. Newberry, and also in Idaho and in New Mexico
 On the returns available, 25 Repub- licans had been elected to seats in the House now held by Democrats, and seven Democrats had been elect ed to seats now held by Republicans. In the Senate one Democrat has been elected to a seat now held by a ] Republican, and six Republicans had been elected to seats now held by l Democrats.
 On the returns at hand, the House i figures were: Republicans, 229; Dem ocrats, 1862 Socialist, 1; doubtful, g. A majority is 21S.

 "Wets" and "drys' broke even in four states where prohibition amend , ments to state constitutions were voted upon.
