London, Nov. 30.--The German
revolution is genuine according to
what saw in Darmstadt, Lem
burg, and RoopIaden.
The common people realize by
this time that the military lead
ers have duped them.
It is impossible for miIitarism
to be returned to power. On
Nov. 9th German Marines went
along the Rhine waving a red
flag, throwing away their weap-
ons and disarning other soldiers.
At RoopIaden the people and
the garrison went wild with Joy.
The entire garrison packed up
their things and returned to their
homes.
My guard announcing the news
tossed his cap and rifle into the
air and shouted "Now we will have
freedom"
had acted as an interpreter
and as a result was allowed the
freedom of the town where we
were CHARTERED.
al talked with many persons re-
garding the food situation which
was extremely serious. Here is
the menu of typical family with
which ! often dined.
For Breakfast - A substitute
for coffee, consisting of barley,
etc, and bread made Of potato
flour and sawdust.
"For Luncheon, a soup made of
a substitute for fats, and potatoes
and onions alternated with onions.
On Sunday, meat was allowed
for dinner with bread and jam.
"AIl the restaurants were clos
ed. The people had plenty Of pa
per and iron money but they did
not have any gold, silver or cop
per. But then they did not have
anything to spend it for.
"The factories were making on
ly such necessities as war mater
iaIs, household furniture, etc. Ev-
erythine was so expensive. paid
fifteen marks $500 for knife
and fork. Laborers, who were
mostly women earned from seven
to nine marks ($t.6s to $2.16) per
day. The prisoners did all the farm
work.
"Thc whole country presented
a badly delapidated appearance.
Houses, mills and fences were
dropping to pieces. All the work
clothes were made of pepper while
the dress clothes were re-made
from old things.
"shoe tops we're of paper while
the soles were either Of paper or
wood. Hats were made of straw.
The only amusements were the
movies"

If the overseas men were permitted
to visit their parents when they ar
rive here after months in the trenches
much of the dissatisfaction with con-
ditions at the army post would be
done away with. But the boys and
the parents are indignant at the re-
strictions imposed, they say.
Iowa Units To Return.

cial announcement of General March,

WANT MORE SCIENTIFIC mAGA-

on to the ward school boys? The pub

Science, and the Illustrated World but

Awful SLAUGHTER.

Rabbits were plentiful and fine in
a certain neck of the woods. -Four
men assisted by three dogs, executed
an even forty last Friday, Nov. 18th,
The nimrods were W. T. Hall, Jess
Osborn, Oscar Carnean and Walter
Beal. The hunters had supplied
themselves with lunches which be-
came too insignificant for use in
view of the fact that Mrs" Beal pro-
vided a most excellent dinner, suffl.
cient TO over-supply the wants OF
twice the plumber of men. 1t was
a day never TO be forgotten, except
by the rabbits.

ious counties, the provost marshal general Friday morning ordered all local boards to re-examine the ques- tionnaires of registrants and in- structed the adjutant generals de- partment to ask the aid of all legal advisory boards and government ap- peal agents in such work.
 If government appeal agents are not in position to render the ser vice, additional agents must be ap- pointed. Special attention must be directed to the following classes of cases: Class 2, A and B; Class 8, A, f and c, and Class 4, A.
 General Crowder's message said that thousands of .registrants who are in Class should be in Classes 1 or 2. Local boards are instructed to set aside one week in June for the ex- animation of doubtful or incorrect classifications. During this week special attention should be igven to boards having the lowest unexplained percentages, but it also is necessary that attention be paid to boards show ing an unusually high percentage in Class 1 so that corrective procedures can be applied.
 General Crowder's message stated that in Arkansas the following show a gross Class percentage as folows
 Under 15 per cent, Grant, Izard, Scott; above 15 per cent but below 20 per cent, Boone, Faulkner, Fulton, Greene, Little River, Madison, Ne vada, Newton, White, Pike, Pope, Randolph Above 20 per cent but below 28 and 7-1Oths per cent, Cal houn, Carroll, Clark, Clay, Cleburne, Cleveland, Conway, Craighead, Craw- ford, Franklin, Hampstead, Hot Spring, Howard Jackson, Johnson, Lawrence, Lincoln, Logan, Lonoke, Marion, Montgomery, Perry, Saline, Sebastian No. 1, Sebastian No. 2, Stone, Union, Van Buren, Washing ton, Yell, Baxter, Searcy, Sharp; above 35 per cent, Ashley, Chicot, Crittenden, Cross, Desha, Drew, Gar land, Jefferson No. 1, Jefferson No. 2, Lee, Little Rock No. 1, Mississippi, Monroe, Phillips, Poinsett, Prairie, Sevier, St. Francis.
 Local boards are also instructed to examine by the new standard of phy- sical examination every doubtful case which may have fallen into group B, c or D, either under the original ex- animation by the boards or upon re- jection at mobilization camp, with the purpose in view of finding men physi- cally fit for general military service who may have been placed in the above mentioned groups, and for re- moving from Group c such men as have been totally rejected or placed in the remedial group.
 Arkansas ranks 23rd in the percent age of men in Class 1, according to statement issued Thursday afternoon by Adjutant England, and is led by every Southern state except Florida.

MANY ARKANSAS BOARDS
 FALL BELOW AVERAGE
Three Fall Below 15 Per Cent and Others Are Too High Remedies Ordered - After Class 4 Men.

Washington, June 7.-Repeating again today the assertion that the paramount necessity of the nation is the raising of an army, the provost marshal generals office declares there would be no further extension of ex- emptions to specialized classes of labor, agricultural or otherwise, than already had been given. Agriculture was said to have been especially ex- empted in the past because it was deemed necessary, but with the ex- haustion of Class 1 men in many To- calities, many agricultural laborers previously put at the bottom will go into higher classiications.
 Many boards in Arkansas have fallen below the 2S.7 per cent average which Provost Marshal General Crow der has held should be the percentage of registrants in Class 1, according to telegram received from the provost marshal general by the djutant gen. erals office Friday.
 Three Arkansas counties-Grant Izard and Scott-have a gross per- centage of Class 1 men under 15 per cent. A number of counties have high averages, exceeding 35 per cent, and this condition also must be remedied, he said.
