KAISER TRAVELS UNDER
HEAVY GUARD AND IN
MOST SECRET MANNER

London, Dec. 2S.-lCorrespondence Of
the Associated Press - So closely is
the German emperor guarded when he
travels by rail through Belgium that
his movements are kept even from the
railroad officials handling his train up
to the last possible moment, according
to a correspondent of the Chronicle,
who has several times witnessed the
emperor's arrival.
"Whenever the passage OF the lmper-
ial train is to take place the fact is
not known to the chief railway official
until the same day, and to his subor.
dinates not until a quarter OF an hour
before the arrival" the correspondent
says. "ln the station the lines are all
kept free"
Describing one such arrival Of the
emperors train, the correspondent says
IAN worlimen, on this occasion, whether
Belgian or German. were dispatched
outside, and access to the station was
forbidden. This applied to all passen,
gers as well. The military guards oc
cupying parts of the station and en-
virons were ordered to leave their posts
and pile their arms. The only persons
allowed on the platform were the sta
| tionmaster, his employees appointed to
work the signals, ana the military chief
There is no guard of honor no NANTES
tation whatever.
This clearing of the station takes
place at every station through which
the train passes, which 1t does at the
maximum regulation speed. At Brussel,
detrainment took place opposite the
| Place Rogier, which IS a military post
since the occupation.
THE space in front OF the station
which is always forbidden ground tC
passengers, was occupied by several mo-
tor cars. As Soor rs The emperor en-
tered his car the small fleet ran swiftly
TO the Pare Rue Royale, where the
| kaiser stayed several hours.
During the presence of the kaiser
the officials always display the utmost
nervousness in fear of anything's taking
| place, and they always breathe a sigh
of relief when their master Is gone
The fact that even the military are
obliged to retire and pile their arms
seems to suggest distrust Of his owr
army"

GERMAN ARMY CONTAINS
MANY CAVALRY REGIMENTS
Total of Squadrons Even Greater Than
When War Began.

correspondence or the Associated HreSs)
French Front, Dec 26.-Trench war.
fare has not diminished the German
cavalry forces. as had been generally
supposed, for information which has
just reached the correspondent. Of the
Associated Press shows the total %
squadrons in the service 10 be even
higher than II was at tie mobilization
in 1914. Changes, however, have been
introduced in the mounted arm OF the
service by which some {: the squad
rons temporarily have been disnounted
and utilized as Infantry while the Ter.
nations have undergone considerable
Iir .atiou.
AT present the German army has al
its disposal no fewer than $40 squadrons
of cavaly, comprising active, reserve
mobile ersatz, landwehr and landsturm
units, but Of these l44 have been sepa
rated from their horses and used as
infantry This figure compares with
$40 squadrons on a peace footing.
When war began the German cav
airy was at once formed into eleven
divisions, each composed of six regi
ments Of four squadrons Besides those
there were also the bodies of divisional
cavalry attached to the active and re
serve divisions Of infantry.
Rumanias entry into the war made
more cavalry formations necessary lnC
the number of organized divisions wa:
at once increased to fourteen.
The spring Of 1917 saw the end @
the Rumanian campaign. and with tht
came n decrease of the divisional for
nations to six, while the division,
/ themselves We're reduced from six reg.
ments to four each. At the same tim,
/ independent brigades of mounted troop
were formed, of which the existence o
| at least five is known, each havinl
three regiments Of four squadrons each
Nearly every infantry division is pro
vided also with unit Of cavalry who's
strength varies according to the natur
of the country in which the troops ar
| operating.
From among the cavalrymen who
/ temporarily. are not employed or
mounted duty at the front, twenty
three regiments of rifiemen have bee
formed, which take their turn in hol(
ing trenches with the ordinary infar
try formations Each of these reg
ments is composed Of four squadron
and a squadron Of machine gunners.
Besides these other units of cavalry
men selected from the regiments of tn
active army are from time to tim
used as infantry but their exact nun
bers are not ascertainable.

LACK IF LABOR
 RE YARDS WORK
Local Factories Are Suffering Because Of Inability To Secure Suffi-
 cient W0rkmen.

All the wood working plants of Newport, as well as other factories, are suffering greatly because of their inability to secure sufficient num- Der of workmen to carry on full op- erations. In fact, one mill, the Ark ansas Hardwoods Company, it IS un- Gerstood, will have to close down un- less labor can be had
 Those who have the authority to bring about a strict enforcement of the work -or-fight order should en- deavor to relieve the situation, and the Chamber of Commerce is anxious that men be supplied the mills if it can be done through this order which has been made by the government. The cessation of operations by the mills here must be guarded against, for Newport's factories are one of the city's greatest assets, and the de- velopment of the advantages which the city offers to factories is relied upon greatly to enhance the towns future growth.

FROM A SYMPTOM
 BOY IN FRANCE.

F. Sneed of Swifton is in receipt of letter from his son, Wm. A. Sneed, who is with the American Ex- peditionary Forces in France, and by request we publish it that his friends in Glass township may hear from him.
 Somewhere Tn France,
 August 5, 1918. MT. and Mrs. J. F. Sneed:
 Dear Parents: 1 will write you a few lines today. 1 am well and my hand is also some better. I think it will be all right in a few days. 1 could not have wanted for better treatment than I have had in French hospital. The French people seem to think lots of the American soldier and the Red Cross is one of the soldiers best friends. It is really his best. If you hear of any one talking of how they would like to help the soldiers at the front tell them to give to the Red Cross, for it is the greatest organiza- tion of today towards helping the boys. The Y. M. c. A. huts are also soldiers friend and home. They help pass away many lonely hours. It helps to keep the boys out of trouble. They go to the Y. M. c. A. instead of to other places that are, not good for them to go. We also have the Knights of Columbus Hall and Sal vation Army huts so you see we have entertainment in France, as well as in the states when we are behind the lins.
 My wound is only slight in the hand, so don't worry about me. l am all o. k. How are the children? :? Tell them I said be good and go to school and I would have lots to tell them of many different places 1 have seen and other things as well, when l come home. I hope this will find you all well as when I left.
 As my mail has never overtaken me I haven't heard from home yet. Guess I have been too much on the move. suppose everybody is pleased with the great victory of the allies. They sure have done wonderful work. The Americans have done wonderful, won- derful work.
 How is grandfather's and grand mothers health by now? I will close, hoping to hear from you soon.
 Your son, William A. Sneed, 26th U. s. Inf. Go. D., A. E. F., France.
