Draft Call Suspension Considered.

WASHINGTON, Nov, 8.-Provost
Marshal General Crowder called into
conference today the heads Of all sec
tions of his Office to discuss possible
suspension of the November draft
calls, under which more than 100000
men have been ordered to army camps.
While Gen. Crowder would not dis
cuss what recommendations he might
make to the general staff, it is known
that his advisers will advocate warm
ly withdrawal Of the November call,
at least if the Germans accept the
American and allied armistice terms
before the movement to camps begins.
With 100000 men already under
arms overseas and at home, the feel
ing is growing that no more will be
needed. even though it may be long
time before American forces can be
recalled from France and some addi.
tional men may be sent over.

s"The cessation of hostilities will re-
veal picture of misery such as the
world has never seen before, especially
in many countries which cannot help
themselves. The American people
will expect the Red Cross to continue
to act as their agent in repairing
broken spirits and broken bodies.
Peace terms and peace conditions will
determine how we can best minister
to, the vast broken areas which have
been narrowed by war and for this
great act of mercy the heart and
spirit of the American people must
continue to be modified through the
American Red Cross.
On behalf of the War Council, we
accordingly ask each member of our
splendid body of workers throughout
the land, to bear in mind the solemn
obligation which rests upon each one
of us to carry on. We cannot abate
for an instance in our efforts or our
spirits. There will be an abundance
of work to do and even at the moment
of peace, let no Red Cross worker
falter."
From the Department of the Ameri-
can Red Cross.

Now is the Time.

The Protestant, Jew and Catholics
are all working side by side for the
spiritual uplift and the comforts of
our soldiers in France. While the
Kaiser has abdicated the throne, the
war is not over, and our soldiers will
have to remain in foreign fields for
perhaps two years to come. They
have got to be cared for and in large
measure the people at home will have
to lend a helping hand. Every State
in the Union is called upon to con
tribute to the United War work fund,
and the amount asked from the peo-
pie of Adair county is twenty-eight
hundred dollars. This Is free will
offering and if every man who is inter-
ested in the welfare of our soldiers,
will contribute but little will have to
be paid by any one individual. 1t is a
righteous cause and every body should
give and give heartily. Workers are
now visiting homes, asking donations,
and they should not be turned away
empty handed. Do like the poor wild
ow who threw in her mite, all that
she had, and she was blessed, and was
told that she did more than any the
rest, as she gave all she had.
The boys over there, perhaps your
sons are among the number, are look
ing to the home people for aid and
comfort. Will they be denied, after
bearing their breast for the protection
of this glorious country, which is soon
to have peace, brought about by their
valiant conduct upon the firing line?
We say no. The people of Adair
county are too generous an d
patriotic to fail to loosen their purse
strings when a call like this comes to
their ears. Give and give literally.
Figuring upon pro rata basis, as.
Stunning that there are six hundred
men in the service from Adair coun-
ty, there will be spent on these men
in the next twelve months for their
comfort s31, 200, and Adair county
is only asked to contribute So, 300. II
can be raised and raised easily.

WANT CHILDREN
TO LEARN CREED

Washington, D. c., April 30.-School
children in Florida are going to be sup
piled with copies OF the American 6
Creed for compiling which William
Taylor Page, veteran capitol employe
won proze of 81 900 in a nationwide
contest.
The school children of Florida will
be urged to commit 1t to memory as
the essence and boiled-down sentiment
Of all the most notable utterances or
writings as to what the United States
government is and stands for.
The school children of the country
are going to be taught this patriotic
declaration under direction of DR.. p. p
Claxton, IT, s. commissioner of educa-
ton. The children or Florida will be
appealed to by Congressman Herbert
j. Drane and other members of the
Florida delegation to be the first in the
entire land to send a message to con-
gress that they are reeiting this
americans Creed in unison as part
of their daily school exercises.
Congressman William J. Sears, OF
Kissimmee, Fla, as chairman OF the
house committee on education, has had
the proceedings of the meetins at which
the prize was awarded to Mr.. Page
made a part OF the record of congress.
He suggested that the house committee
on printing might we'll direct that the
creed be made a public document for
distribution to school children through
out the country.
Congressman Drane states that II
congress does not have this document
printed he will have 10000 copies
made at his own expense for distribu-
ton in his district. All those who wish
TO secure copies should send him re-
quest.

British Face Passage on
JOrdOn at Historic Place

With the British Army in Palestine
April Correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press. Ut was at Mahadethad-
jlah, where the baptism of Christ is
said to have taken place, that the Brit
ish army forced a passage of the river
Jordan after a brisk engagement with
the~Turks and a small body of Ger
mans on the night OF March 81.
The crossing was attempted at three
spots. The average breadth of the
Jordan is thirty yards and even in the
driest season the water fords are never
less than three and a half to four fee;
deep. Both banks are. lined with a
thick jungle called by the Arabs
"Ezzor" and is the haunt of wild boar.
1t is traversed By very tracks leading
to the fords.
At two of the fords even men on
horseback were unable to breast the
strong current, while RATS and pom
toons were swept away. The Turks.
alive to the fact that the crossing was
being attempted, set fire to some dry
scrub on their side of the bank which
| lit up the waters almost with bright
ness of daylight, revealing with cruel
distinctness our men venturing from
cover in the thickets at Mahadetnad-
| jlah. There the river has a straighter
run and the current is consequently
less swift. Seven volunteers succeeded
| in swimming to the other bank with a
rope by means of which a poontoon
was pulled over, serving as a ferry for
sufficient force.
The British established a strong
bridgehead before dawn. The Turks
were not very numerous but were pien-
| tifully supplied with machine guns
while the ground lent itself to defense.
Beyond the belt of scrub through which
it was necessary to cut ones way was
a bare open space about five hundred
yards wide and then a series of ledgeS
where the Turks were ensconed in
trenches with a perfect field for lire
| in front of them. While daylight last
ed it was impossible to cross this lane.
After dusk the British rushed the Turk
| ish positions. A steel pontoon bridge
was constructed which was crossed
most calamity under shell fire by cav
airy which promptly made an emo TO
the Turkish resistance, galloping down
the machine-gunnerS and capturing
| three Maxims and seventy prisoners.
Wheeling to the left the troops Sc
cured the opposite bank of the Ghora-
niyeh ford and soon the infantry was
pouring across following close on the
heels OF the Turks who made another
stand at Shunetnimrin across the old
caravan road leading to Es Salt.
There the troops were among the
foothills Of the mountains Of Gilead
which rise a thousand feet from the
Jordan plain. 1t was short struggle
and the position was rushed, 80 pris-
oners, all German, falling into BRUSH
hands, as well as four guns of which
the teams were shot down by Lewis
guns. Then the troops raced toward
Es Salt which was entered early In the
morning. Es Salt is the center of an
important grain region which furnish
ed the main supply for Jerusalem in
the days of the Turks. 1t is now again
available.

sure" and then, as she saw the gath
erins scowl on his face. she stopped.
She had lived with Warren long
enough to know that one OF the things
that made him most furious was to be
proven In the wrong. And she realized
now, as she stood there with the bill
book in her hands, that he would
rather have lost IL than to have her
find it in this way.
In a flash she thought or all the
things he had said. of his assurance
Of Its being In his pockets and or MS
positive repeated assertions that the
tailor had looked guilty. But for the
sake Of peace she must make him feel
that she was not thinking of those
things.
Even the secret realization of his own
cocksuredness when he had been wrong
always irritated him.
