MASTER GENERALS ORDER.

Night letters sent by telegraph will
probably be delivered by mail in the
near future unless special request is
made for earlier delivery by messen-
ger. While the local telegraph offices
have not adopted the plan already in
use in nearly every other Florida city.
the scarcity of messenger boys may
necessitate using the plan here.
If adopted it will mean the send
ing of all night telegraph letters by
mail where routes will guarantee de-
livery between the hours of and 10
o'clock in the morning. A recent or
der issued by the Postmaster General,
now in charge of the telegraph COM
panies, commended the plan to avoid
duplication of labor in territories
served by both mail and telegraph.
During the influenza epidemic there
was a serious shortage of carriers at
the local telegraph Offices which con-
dition is now becoming normal again.
However many of the messengers have
left and are working for the ship plant.
local managers say. Inability to get
reliable boys may necessitate mail de-
liveries OF night telegraph letters, it is
said.

KAISER AGREES

ANNOUNCES ARRIVAL OF NEW ERA
WHICH TRANSFERS FUNDAMEN-

KAISER TO THE PEOPLE.
(By Associated PreSS)

Amsterdam, Nov. 3.-On occasion of
the constitutional amendment coming
into force, says an official telegram
from Berlin, emperor William ad-
dressed to Prince Maximilian, Impe-
rial German chancellor, a decree en-
dorsing the Reichstag decisions and
allowing his firm determination to CO.
operate in their full development.
The Kaiser declared, "a period which
will stand in honor before future gen.
erations has come to close and a new
order opens which transfers funda-
mental rights from the Kaiser's person
to the people. German people can
claim no right which will guarantee
a free and happy future, that shall be
withheld fro them.''

GERMANY MUST
SOON YIELD

Washington, Nov. 3. Armistice
terms which the Austrians have ac-
aepted are expected to furnish cleac
index to those which the Supreme War
Council at Versailles is preparing for
Germany.
Military men here said the terms
which the Supreme War Council had
prepared will make it impossible for
the Austrians to renew hostilities and
probably included disarming Of enemy
troops and occupation of strategic
POINTS.
Free movement of allied forces
through Austria to attack Germany
from the south, should the Supreme
War Council decide such a stroke nec-
essary, is also expected to be stipu-
lated.
Official announcement that an arm
Stce had been signed reached the State
Department today. In making this
known, officials gave no indication OF
the terms imposed, nor. waS there any
explanation OF why cessation of hos
tlities has been delayed "a hours or
more after the actual signing Of a.
ucles Of surrender. The generally ac-
eepted view seemed to be that it is

Nearly 130 Iowans Will Exercise
Their Right of Fran

Men at the Pensacola Naval Air

courtesy of Captain F. NJ. Bennett, CO.

Commissioner Here
When seen at the San Carlos hotel
last night, Mr.. Gallarno said that the
governor of HE state, believing that
if any man in the world had a right to
vote in the general election, it was
the men who were serving their coun-
try, had special committee appoint
ed to look into the laws of the state
to ascertain If it was possible to make
this concession. Laws were found
dating back to 1862 which covered the
present situation, and a commission
of sixty-nine men was appointed to
visit the training camps and canton
ments throughout the country, with
Specially prepared ballots, which gave
the men the right to vote in the gem
eral election.
preparing the ballots, communicated
with every training camp in the coun-
try, securing the names and ADDRESSES
OF the men from Iowa, and the ballots
were prepared in such a way to al
low them to vote for county as well
as state Offices
In tabulating the returns received
from the commandants of the various
stations and posts it was found that
Iowa has in the service between 10000
and 30 900 men,
Mr.. Gallarno said that, as he had
spent much time and hard work delv-
ing into the law and getting up the
ballots, he felt that he deserved one of
the most interesting stations in the
country, as his territory.
MT. Gallarno has served his state
for ten years as Chief Clerk in the au-
diting department, prior to which time
he was engaged in newspaper work.
According to special arrangement
made with the army post, the men
from Fort Barrancas will also v-es at
the Naval Air Station.
Mr.. Gallarno will be in charge OF the
polls which have been arranged at the
Naval Air Station for the Iowa men.
and will remain in Pensacola until
Thursday.
Other States Represented
w. H. Brazee, of Pennsylvania, is
also in the city, sent here to arrange
the ballots of the men in the service
from his state, and it is stated unofi-
cially that there are two New Hamp-
shire commissioners also in Pensacola
Laws of some states make voting by
mail possible and number OF Serv-
ice men have already sent off their
votes by mail. Indiana is one Of these,
but some of the Indiana men will not
be able to cast their ballots, owing to
the delay caused by the present irreg-
ularity Of the mails.
Ballots which were sent to the Ma
val Air Station from Indiana reached
here somewhat late, and by the time
they had been filed out and the men
had reached town, the registry win
dows were closed at the local post
ofice,-so Indiana will be short good

AT TWO CHURCHES

Crenshaw Occupy Local
Pulpits. >.

Opening for the first time since the
churches Were closed on October 9th
in cooperation with the health au-
thorities and in accordance with a re-
quest Of DR.. Paul D. Mossman, serv-
ices were held in all city churches yes
terday.
At Christ (Episcopal) Church the pull
pit was filled by the Rev. Harwood
Huntington, Of Massachusetts,, who has
succeeded the Rev. Melville E. John
son, who has volunteered for work at
Camp Johnston. Mr.. Huntington will
remain in charge of Christ Church un-
til the return OF the rector, the Rev.
with the Y. NJ C. A. forces abroad.
At the First Presbyterian church
yesterday morning the sermon was
preached by the Rev. ]. C. Crenshaw,
Of Chinkiang, China, son-in-law of Dr..
A. c. Moffett, pastor Of the church.
Mr. Crenshaw took for his text the
first nine verses Of the thirty-third
chapter Of Ezekiel. and brought out in
a most Illuminating manner the ad-
vantages of Christianity. not only in
a spiritual way but from the stand
point OF modern civilization. as re-
lated to our ordinary avocations.
Using the Biblical figure OF the
watchman. sounding his note of warm
ing, as the motive Of his theme, he
brought out wildly the responsibility
which rests upon us nationally and
individually to send out our message
of enlightenment to the world.
He declared that taking the heathen
nations from the practical standpoint
of every day living, life with them is
failure.
Their crude methods of transporta
tion. their unjust laws, where the low
er classes are SO largely under the
domination of the higher classes, their
financial code, which requires month
ly instead OF yearly rates Of interest,
the oppression Of the poor, and the
ignorance and superstitions of the
people, were all brought out, showing
that even from the standpoint of prac
tical, everyday life, the heather ma
tions are still thousands Of years be-
hind the Christian nations in enlight-
enment.
At the First Baptist Church, where
the pulpit was filled by the pastor,
the Rev ]. A. Ansley, beautiful mus
ical program added to the beauty of
the services.
At the First Methodist Church the
Rev. I. w. Chalker preached to a large
audience, and at the First Christian
Church, the pulpit was also filled by
the regular pastor, the Rev. N. ID.
Webber At the Gadsden street church
the regular pastor, the Rev. Herbert
J. Rice, filled the pulpit.
Services at st. Michaels' and the Sac
red Heart were featured by beautiful
programs.
Services were also held at the
churches and missions in the west
ernan eastern sections of the city,
by the regular pastors.
The Rev. John c.. Skottowe Of S..
Katherine's Church held services at
the church both morning and evening.
