London, Nov. IAN allied attack
on Germany from the east was lore
shadowed by George Nicoll Barnes
member of the British war cabinet
in a speech last evening at the Amer
ican officers club in London.
The arrnistice with Turkey might
have been signed earlier, said Mr..
Barnes, "but we held the Turks on
a string" He explained that the al
lies were committed to free Arab
state with Aleppo as the capital and
there was no hurry to get the Turks
out of the war until Aleppo was cap
tured. Other places as necessary to
the Arabs as Aleppo also must be
surrendered. 49,.
The British have been assembling
ships at the mouth of the Darda-
nelies for some time, and Mr.. Barnes
said he understood the vessels al
ready had started through the
straits. He concluded:
There now is nothing to prevent
the fleet from going to the Black

Great 7eutonic Alliance

The great Teutonc alliance, which
for four years has carried on the
greatest war in history and often
seemed to have almost achieved sue
cess is tumbling to pieces Bulgaria
and Turkey have surrendered, Aus
tria, with anarchy reigning through
out the kingdom, is begging for
peace and Germany is ,anxiously
awaiting the terms of America and
the allied nations.
In fact, news of the breaking up
of the enemy nations on their "home
fronts is more momentous than
even reports of tremendous events
in the theatres OF actual battle,
Turkey has apparently given up
everything agreed to the opening Of
the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus
and thrown herself upon the mercy
of the allies arrayed against her. In
this phase OF the war. the United
! States is not an active participant.

Austrian armies fighting on Ital-
ian soil face a great military disas-
ter for the rush of the troops com
manded by General Diaz has not
been halted by Austrian appeals.
Proposals made by Austrian pleni-
potentiarics have been referred to
the inter-alled war council by the
Italian commander, but the work of
wiping out the stigma of the defeat
Of Caporetto has not been stopped.
Fifteen Austrian divisions are re-
ported to be trapped in the mountain
sector between the Brenta and Piave
rivers, while the Austrian forces be-
tween the sea and Belluno are in
dire peril OF being annihilated. Over
fifty thousand prisoners have been
captured by the allies since the drive
began.
At home. Austria seems to he a
seething hotbed OF anarchy. Rail
roads of the most vital Importance
have been cut, rioting OF a serious
nature has occurred in many of the
larger cities and the imperial author
tiles at Fiume, Prague and possibly
other cities have given up control
to the Slavonic and Czech national
committees.

Has Kaiser Abdicated?
In Germany, the true state of af-

abdication OF Emperor William is
said TO be imminent. if it has not

From Paris comes a report that
the terms OF the allies will be made
known to Berlin today. The shift
ing OF the sitting of the inter-allied

Dr. Fl. +. Getz Reports New Ass0cia- tions end Evident Desire To Be Ready for Systematic Dip

The nsople in the community three miles northwest of Yocana have or ganizrd a livestock association and viii build a dipping vat at once. Amonr those interested in the move msnt are w. j. Wilson, A. H. Corley, J. E. Dollar, B. U. Lunsford. R G. Brown, C. L. Lunsford and B. Brown. The officers of the association are w. J. Wilson, president; A. H. Corley, secretary treasurer; and J. E. Dollar, business manager. The vat will be located on the farm of the latter.
 The farmers in the Hillard school district have also organized for the building of dipping vat, work on which was begun Wednesday and is to be completed this week. Among those interested are Peter Loesch, Math Simmons, c. Reyes, Henry Bar ton, Matt Watkins, J. L. Brakefield, J. Rogan and Phillip Lewis. The vat is located on the farm of Math Sim mons, and will be known as the Hil- lard vat
 Dr. H. R. Getz was at Shady on Wednesday to hold meeting for the organization of livestock associa- tion, but thru some misunderstanding the people of the community had failed to hear of the meeting An other effort was made on Monday, March 25. at which time it was hoped to perfect an organization.
 After completing a, circuit of the northeastern part of the county, Dr. H. R. Getz in charge of the tick erad- ication, reports that the Converse vat is completed, the work, which was un- der the supervision of c. A. Converse, being first-class The concrete work on the Union Grove vat has also been completed and the plastering was to be done last week. The vat will also be covered. The concrete work on the vats at Nunley and Yocana has also been completed, and the farmers of the Egger community have finished their vat with the exception of the roofing The Rev. J. w. Kelley and Wesley Philpot were in charge of the work at Egger, and succeeded in get ting an excellent job done. The con- crete work on the Nunley vat was also completed on Wednesday and the plastering and roofing was done Saturday. This vat too, is credit to those in charge of the work.
 The progressive farmers of the 0uachita community met Wednesday night and took preliminary steps for the organization of a community club and the construction of dipping vats. An organization was perfected by the election of w. M. Forester as president, M C. Standridge as secre- tary-treasurer, and E. L. Garrett as business manager. There were forty interested persons in attendance, and as they represented widely separated points, they could not reach the con- elusion whether to build one or two vats. However, another meeting will be held next Saturday night when this matter will be definitely settled. Supt. s. K Wilkerson and Mrs. Wilkerson of the city schools, Miss Anna Woods, home demonstration, and Dr. H. R. Getz, in charge of tick eradication, at tended the meeting
