vexed Problem Of Their Presence as
Army cantonments Is Now
Solved.

Washington.-After struggling for g
long time with the knotty problem OF
conscientious objectors in army, cam
tonments, the war department now an
nounces that the difficulty has to a
large degree been solved through the
aid of the farm help specialists Of the
United States department Of agricul.
ture.
In the various states where there are
farming communities which include
sects opposed to war, such as the
Dunkards and Mennonites, and where
additional farm help is needed, these
places are made known to the canton
ment commanders, together with rec.
ord Of their farm labor needs.
The plan has worked out so well
that in the three camps where definite
lists of objectors were compiled practi-
cally all Of these men have been
placed. Camp Meade had 8S, all of
them now at labor on farms; 100 OF the
1O2 men at Camp Lee have been placed
and the majority of those at Camp
Taylor.

ing Part in Any More Kitchen
Battles.

New York.-Private William Lewis.
twenty, who weighs 245 pounds and is
six feet two inches tail, is crowding
the guard house at Fort Slocum be-
cause he prefers to do mis- fighting
"over there" rather than in a kitchen.
When Lewis enlisted the quarter
master fitted him out with the largest
clothes in. the assortment, but they
were just about five sizes too small.
The boys at the camp dubbed him
"Tubby" and twqtted him, so Lewis
fought and argued until disgusted.
Then he went home, French leave.
He was arrested as a deserter and
turned over to lieutenant. When
being taken back to camp he groaned:
"Nobedy loves a fat man, not even
in the army. I am willing to fight
the kaiser, but darned if I'll do my
fighting in the kitchen"

that the conclusion is irresistible that
the whole program Of constitutional
reform under way is the result of an
agreement between the 8 allies 10
meet one of the presidents conditions
for a cessation of hostilities.
Hun Methods Modified.
Baron Burian's statement that Ger
many will be in a position to accept
the presidents demands regarding the
humanizaticn Of the wor, appears to
humanization of the war, appears to
that the Germans are not looting and
destroying private property in North
ern France and Belgium as hereto
fore. If this is followed by the aban-
donment of submarine attacks on
merchant shipping, officials feel that
the principal obstacle in the way of an
adjustment will be found only in the
arrangement of an armistice.
There is no doubt that the Germans
will make desperate effort to resis:
the announced purpose of the presi-
dent to leave the terms of an armis-
tee to the American and allied mill
tary commanders and it may be some
time before they are sufficiently hum
h7ed in spirit to admit that It is NOT
for them to dictate, but simply to ac-
cept such terms as the military con-
manders may impose. In fact, Baron
Burian's address before the Austrian
committee is taken to indicate clearly
that Germany desires to enter into ne
gotiations on these points and will
cling obstinately to its plan of mix
ed commission to deal with evacua-
ton.

Meeting Requirements Laid Down

Washington, Oct. 17.-Signs multi
snplied today that Germany and Austria
hre fastening to arrange their in
&ernal political affairs and their meth
oos of warfare III the hope of meeting
the requirements laid down by Pres
ident Wilson in his reply to Germany's
proffer. There was no indication to-
day when the German answer would
come but that one would be dispatch
ed was made more certain by the
h statements of Boron Burian, the Aus
bSiap foreign minister, before the
eign affairs committee of the Aus
Eian parliament.
Folbwing closely the radical
Ranges in the German governmental
structure as recorded in cable dis
patches from Amsterdam and Rotter-
dam information came to the state de-
partment today that the Austrian en-
peror has announced to the foreign
affairs committee of parliament his
purpose to grant autonomy to the op-
pressed nationalities in the dual en-
pire. The right to autonomous exist
ence for these nationalities is one Of
the peace requirements laid down by
President Wilson.

conservative German and Magyar
components of the empire is certain
to be aroused by his radical change

this can be overbalanced by supper.

make it appear that the change is
long step towards the final peace 50
istently demanded by the populace.
M Question of Hungary.
ne announcement from Copenhagen
ay of the reading of a decree in
hungarian parliament recognizing
Hungary as a separate state, is re-
galded as an earnest of what is to
come to the other nationalitias Of
the empire. II has been suggested
that the delay in the presidents reply
i the Austrian appeal lor an armss-

yiction of officials that events are

tions necessary to realize the demand
for democratic form of government

PARKER CONVINCED
 BY HIS EXPERIENCE
"I Can Recommend Tanlac In the Highest Terms" Says We'll Known Alabama Dentist
 Declares He Is We'll Man.

'I am firmly convinced from my own experience with Tanlac, that it will do all people claim for it, as am we'll man now, after suffering for twelve years until took Tan lac," is the frank statement of Dr IS. J. Parker, well known dentist of Roanoke, Alabama.
 ssI had bad form of stomach trou, ble, which distressed me continually
 or all these years," he continued Terrible headaches would come or me frequently as result of nause- ated and upset stomach and would last for hours. These attacks would come as often as two and three times a week. I lost weight rapidly and although I tried several of the most approved remedies for this trouble it resisted treatment and I continued to go down hill.
 q read about what Tan1ac was do ing everywhere, and though I was skeptical about proprietary medi- cines, gave it a trial. I hadn't fin ished the first bottle until saw fav- orable results, and have continued to improve until my stomach is completely set in order and the oth- CT conditions arising from it have been entirely relieved. I am well man now, and I can recommend Tan lac in the highest terms"
 Tanlac is sold by all druggists in Jackson county.

HERBERT c. HOOVER
 IS ENDORSED BY NEWS
 PAPER CORRESPONDENTS
Special to Independent.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, July 29.-There is an old and approved saying that if any man makes good" with the news paper boys in Washington, that per- son is a success. There are no more keen critics or better judges than the men who write copy for the papers in Washington and the correspond ents for. newspapers published throughout the country. The Wash ington correspondents are in class by themselves.
 An interesting incident that took place in Washington previous to the departure of Herbert c. Hoover, food administrator from the United States, but which has been withheld from publication until the arrival of Mir. Hoover in London was announced, was made public yesterday by the publicity department of the State Food Administration.
 The day before MT. Hoover was scheduled to leave for New York, twenty-six newspaper mep, repre- sentatives of newspapers published throughout the United States, called on him and participated in the final conference he had with newspaper men, at the conclusion of which they presented Mr. Hoover with the fol- lowing signed testimonial:
 ssMr. Hoover:
 "The newspaper men of Washing ton who have watched your efforts since you came to Washington today salute you as an official who has made good.

COMMITS SUICIDE
 WITH A .22 RIFLE.

Shirley, July 28.-Bernard Brown, who lives one mile west of here, committed suicide Friday by shooting himself through the head with a 22- caliber rifle. Brown and his wife are said to have been having trouble and he left their home and met her along the road on her way home from town. Brown sat down on a stump by the roadside and after a short talk with his wife placed the weapon to his forehead and fired. A coroner's jury found letter in Browns pocket saying that the cause of the act was that he saw his wife in the woods near the Brown home with another man.
