Conditions
 Favorable
 For Cotton

Washington, Nov. The prevail ing high temperatures and lack of frost damaged,produced conditions very favorable for the top growth of cotton, especially in the central and eastern parts of the belt, acording to the national weather and crop bulletin for October, issued today by the de- partment of agriculture. The top crop is light in Oklahoma; and in Texas while some of the late stand was still blooming and putting on fruit at the end of the month the crop was much benefited by the warm and snowery weather.
 In the eastern part of the belt, how ever. the weather was especially fav- orable for the development of the late bolls and for the growth of the top crop. Rainy weather delayed picking and caused damage to cotton in the lower Mississippi valley after the first week of the month, and in more eastern districts during the last de- cade: but with these exceptions the weather was favorable for picking and ginning, and this work made ex- cellent progress and is generally we'll advanced for the season, notwith- standing labor shortage.

Eyewitnesses Tell of Gas Shells Being Dropped Down on Defense
 less Towns.
SOLDIER FINDS HIS
 FAMILY GAS VICTIMS
From the Facts Outlined One May Jldge Huns Hypocritical State
 mentS.

Washington, Nov 6.-German forces in their retreat from Belgium are bOmbarding defenseless towns, using especially, gas shells and devastating the countryside, according to an eye witness account made public today by the Belgian Legation.
 "The Belgian government has been inforced," said the statement, "by a reliable eyewitness, who follows closely the operations at the Belgian front, that the very moment that the German government has announced her protest against inhuman acts and while Germany offers to stop aerial bombardments inthe interest of the civil population. of the occupied ter ritory, the Germans have bombarded the villages and towns which they were obliged to abandon during their retreat; they have used especially gas shells for this purpose.
 "Indescribable heartrending scenes have occurred, the unfortunate popu- latiOn having no gas masks or means of protection against these death spreading fumes. A Belgian soldier entering Wyngheme his home town, found his wife dying and his little daughter dead, victims of the poison gas, and his home a heap of ruins. The country all around Ghent, the rich and beautiful cultivated fields and pastures and the picturesque vil- lages present horrible sight of de- vastation and havoc. Not church was spread from destruction.
 Amongst the civilian population hiding in the cellars there have been great many deaths from gas, 27 in the village of Hansbeke alone. A portion of the population who had fled fro mtheir homes during the fighting and tbombarding found on their return mere ruins and debris s trees had been cut down, houses ran sacked, furniture smashed to pieces, fields devastated
 From these facts one may appre- ciate how hypocritical are the hu- manitarian propositions and protes- tations of the German government" !"
 The legation also made public a captured order of Bavarian division commander as further evidence that the Germans are robbing and footing Belgium. The order says:
 "RegrettaIble as is the situation of the Belgian pOpulace, the question of supplies for our troops, heavily en- gagged at the front, must remain for us of paramount importance. For this reason the last draft horse. the last vehicle must Joe requisitioned and used to the greatest advantage.
 Commanders of the various units and men must take into account that the attitude of the population to- ward us has been completely modi- fled. Since the situation has been al- tered, one must not expect to find in the Belgians the same docility that has characterized them through the past years of our warfare. They must be considered strictly as the popula- tion of an enemy state with which we are at war. Therefore, it is particu- larly forbidden to assist the civilian population in any way; military in- terests alone should be considered The products of the country must be utilized.

W.S.S MONEY STAYS
HERE AT HOME

The War Savings Stamps officials
are calling attention to the fact
that the money you spend for WSS
does not leave America. 1t stays at
home and helps pay the wages of
labor in abe American shipyards, in
the arsenals and in buying supplies
Ior the army and the navy. This
money is not going abroad, but it is
staying herr and paying for the beef
and the beans, the wool and the cot
ton that the nation is using, is keep.
ing open the channels OF trade and
helping to furnish work for the indi
vi6ual man and woman.
We have fought successful war.
To fight it took more money than most
of US ever dreamed of. We now want
to see that we get just peace, one
that will last. one that will not be
broken by other wars in the irlmedi-
ate future. All this means that the
nation must continue to raise money.
That is why the people of Missouri
and the rest of the country are being
asked to go right ahead and raise their
full quotas Of WSS. That is why they
are being urged to even exceed their
quotas.

A food map of Europe today shows
not u single country in which the fsi-
ture does not hold threat of serious
difficulties and only a small part which
is not rapidly approaching the famine
point. With the exception of the
Ukraine only those countries which
have maintained marine commerce
have sufficient food supplies to meet
actual needs until next harvest, and
even in the Ukraine, with stores accu-
mulated on the farms, there is famine
in the large ccnters OF population.
Belgium and northern France, as
well as Serbia, appear on the hunger

On account of generally failing

few years has been making his home
in Knoxville, where he numbers his
friends by his acquaintance. He is
a kind, genial gentleman of the old
school and is beloved by all who know
him. The following interesting state

the Tanlac representative:

that was sufficient proof for me.

WHY BUY WAR

There Are Many Reasons and They
Are All Good for Good
Americans.

Don't get the idea that the minute
the big guns ceased to growl on the
West front, the war could be forgotten.
1t can't be forgotten that easily.
There are hundreds of thousands of
men to bring back home. There are
other hundreds of thousands who
must stay in Europe, who must watch
the Hun, who must be our eyes to see
that peace Is brought about, our arms
to enforce our Just claims on a beaten
foe.
We had built up wonderful war
machine. It cost billions to build I'D
and start running.
We must reverse that machine now.
1t has been making soldiers. 1t must
now turn backward and make farmers
and merchants and factory hands and
professional men out of soldiers. And
all that win cost money. 1t will not
cost the billions that the war machine
cost but i will run far up into dizzy

of liberty and brotherhood.

autocratic domination has been cast
aside. Germany must go to school once
more. Uncle Sam is to take part Of
