Conditions Virtually Amount to
Absolute and Unconditional
Surrender.
FOCH HAS TERMS
OF ARMISTICE
Awaits Application From Ger
man Military Command
in Field.
(The Associated Press)

Terms on which Germany may have
peace have been delivered.
There is Ho element of softness in
them. Like the peace given Austria
Hungary, Turkey and Bulgaria, the
price Germany will have to pay is vir-
tually the price of absolute surrender.
The claws of the great military ma
chine of Germany are to BE drawn, in
pensatiOn made for all damage done
the Civilian populations by attacks on
land on sea, and in the air. Mean
while the German armies in Belgium
and France are being defeated.
Ground is being given over in wide
areas from the Belgian border to east
Of the Meuse river.
British and BelgianS in Flanders have
dug deeply into the enemy held terri
tory and the enemy is reeling under
assaults.
From Belgium to the Meuse the
Germans are in jeopardy. Especially
critical is the situation for them in
great sack from Belgium to north of
the Rheims, for with the advance of
the Americans and the French north
ward and with the important lines of
communication under fire, it seems
probable that large numbers of them
are destined to be cut off and forced to
surrender.
Crossing of the Meuse by the Amtri-
cans places in equal peril large en-
emy forces south of Metz.

AMENDMENTS AND TICK
ERADICATION WIN IN LEON

Tallahassee, Fla. Nov. 5.-The indi-
cations tonight are that about one-half
of the qualified voters Of Leon Coun-
ty took advantage of their elective
franchise in the election today. This
is true both of the city and of the
county precincts.
But few have voted against the pro-
hibition amendment. 1t is believed
that the passing of the ten-mill school
amendment is in doubt, but Leon win
go strongly for cattle tick eradication.
Later returns indicate that the pro-
hibition amendment carries in Leon
County by about to 1 and the ten-
mill school tax in about the same pro-
portion Tick eradication will carry
about to 4.

 0F FAMILY HELPED Tanlac Proves Revelation to Booth Family-Wife
 Gains IS Pounds

When my wife first started on Tanlao she weighed only 95 pounds and when she finished her third bottle she tipped the
 beam at 1l3,' said F. l.. Booth of POI
 Furnish avenue, San Antonio, and, while remarkable, 1t is only one of many hum dreds of wonderful indorsements that have been published in connection with the Master Medicine"
 For six years' he continued, s'my
 wife was in a general rundown condi- tion and had no appetite. She couldn't
 eat meats and many other things and
 the gas on her stomach made her heart
 flutter and it seemed like at times she
 would almost smother to death. She was
 constipated all the time had awful head
 aches and backache. She lost weight and got so weak and nervous she could hardly sleep.
 'I bought Tanlac for her because I read and heard So much about 1t and I'll tell anybody it's good medicine, and don't believe there's anything can
 come up to 1t. When my wife finished
 her third bottle she could eat anything without it hurting her and sleep every night like a log. Her. headaches, nervous ness and backache were all gone and
 she had actually gained IS pounds. I have two little girls, II and IA years old, who took Tanlac, too, and they just want to eat up everything. I can't be- gin to tell how much Tanlac has been worth to my family and I believe there are lots of other people here who coud get relief if they would only give Tan lao fair trial"
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham excu- sively by Eugene Jacobs drug store and Patton-Pope Drug Co.-Adv.

thought they were our own machines out for practice and paid no particular attention to them. Then they dropped the bombs and they landed in the woods, and we knew we had been att tackled. What dreadful thing for them to do."
 What foolish thing for allied aero- planes to do-to spend Q wholo morn ing studying the layout of the town and then drop those deadly bombs on a clump of woods where they could noe possibly hurt anyone. and how careless of the Germans not to molest them while they were engaged in their devil ish work.

But if there can be any doubt as to the kaiser's direct responsibility for
 the sinking of the Lusitania. certain it
 is that he fully approved, openly de-
 tended and even exulted in the murder
 of women and children by Zeppelin
 raids in London, Manchester. Liver pool and other nonmilitary cities and towns.
 England expects to starve my wom- en and children to death,' he declared to me early in the war-long before we in Germany had begun to feel the slightest effect of the diminishing food supply, but our Zeppelins will give their women and children a taste of war, too. Confound them! They sit on

 But the point I wanted to bring out
 was this: these gas bombs were never used on London.
 Just as everything was in readiness
 for the raid,' the officer told me re-
 gretfully, Two received orders direct
 from the Kaiser to hold off-I saw his
 signature to the order. Of course,
 there was nothing for us to do but
 comply. but if we had had the Kaiser
 there, I believe we would have strung
 him up by the neck. We still have those bombs. however. and you thay be sure they will yet be used" For some unknown reason the F Kaiser stopped the use of athese lethal gas
 bombs for the time being. Why oionc he move to save the women and child ren on the Lusitania?
 When I went back to Berlin in the fall of 1915, after visit to the United States, the Kaiser was very anxious to ascertain from me just how America 1 felt towards the war.
 1 I told him that before the sinking of the Lusitana, American opinion had 1 been divided. There had been ms-ny
 who were strongly broadly, there had been others who were openly rro1 German and there had been still others who maintained an absolutely neutral attitude After the Lusitania tragedy, however, there had been distinct
 change in public feeling, l told hius practically the whole country having become decidedly anti-German. 'Terhsps if the U-bont command der had known many women and children were on board,' was the | ksiser's only comment. ahc might not have sent forth the torpedo which sent the vessel to the bot tom. but what he was thinking of most, of course, was the 5000 tons 1 of ammunition on board which were destined to slsghter my peo- pley
 Of course, the Kaiser knew that if the U-boat commanders orders were | to sink the Lusitania, disobedience ! upon his part would have left but ona course open for him; suicide.

LAW YERS CLASH
Attorneys for Defense and
Prosecution arc Fined for
Contempt of Court.

Atlanta, Ca, March 16.-Frequent
and bitter clashes between opposing
counsel marked the morning session
today in the trial of Mrs. Margaret
jackson Hirsch, accused of attempt
ing to blackmail Mayor Asa Gambler
and Judge Ben Hill twice fined
Reuben Arnold who is assisting the
state, and Judge Richard Russell,
chief of counsel for the defense.
The first fine was $5 each for con-
tempt of court. A few minutes later
despite repeated warnings, the two
attorneys engaged in another heated
clash and were fined again. this time
so each.
Asa Gambler, Jr., and VIM. T.
Gambler, sons of the mayor, were the
chief witnesses Saturday morning.
The defense made strenuous pro-
test when the state attempted to
bring out that VIM. T. Gambler had
been pursued" by Mrs. Hirsch, ar
guing that the woman's character
had not been brought in issue and
that this was the motive of the
states questions along this line.
A sensation was created when VIM.
Gambler in the course of his testi-
mony, said that Mrs. Hirsch had told
him that her husband was out of
town much of the time and had ask
ed him to come out to see her. Mrs.
Hirsch jumped to her feet and shout
ed in the face of the witness. "You
know you lie"
Judge Hill quickly restored order
and the testimony proceeded.
