Increase ........... S44,600,000 lbs.
Our slaughterable animals at the be-
ginning of the last fiscal year were not
appreciably larger than the year be-
fore and particularly In hogs; they
were probably less. The increase in
shipments is due to conservation and
the extra weight of animals added by
our farmers.
The full effect of these efforts began
to bear their best results in the last
half Of the fiscal year, when the ex-
ports to the Allies were s,133, 100000

LOAN MAY STILL BE RAISED
But Mighty Eleventh Hour Effort Will
 Be Necessary to Attain Goal.

| Washington, Oct. 16.-In the face of figures still showing the fourth
 Liberty loan only little more than
 half raised--up to $3,269, ,OO1 500-the
 chief source of hope tonight lay in assurances of campaign managers for
 each of the 12 districts that their fields would prove up when final re- turns are counted
 Supporting this attitude was the ad- dition of $315 100000 today to the to- tai, the biggest single days subscrip- tion. This still left $2,73O,OO0,O00 to
 be gathered tomorrow, Friday and Saturday-three days-$9OO,O ,OO0 ,OOO a day Officials do not expect that big rate to appear in official reports, at
 least until Saturday. They believe a
 billion or more will be counted up after the campaign has closed Satur-
 day night from the flood of last min ute. subscriptions. But they fear that unless the officially tabulated total
 runs considerably above the $4 900, 000,000 mark on the latest reports
 Saturday, the loan may fail to reach
 it's goal.

Little Rock, Oct 17-During the months of November and December manufacturers of canly and soft drinks, sss well as proprietors of soda fountains, throughout the country, will have to get along on one-fourth the amount of sugar they used during July, August and September ice cream, which has been held as an essential is transferred into the Hess essential class Manufacturers of ice cream will receive 25 per cent of their October al lotment of sugar
 There will be no change in the al- lotment of sugar to retailers or to ho- tels and restaurants, as the former will be governed by the two pounds per month per capita rule and the public eating places will be held to two pounds ol sugar for every 90 i meals served, which must include sugar necessary for cooking.

BULLYING TURKEY
Has Threatened to Fire on C0nStanti-
 nOple at First Sign Of Detection.

Washington, Oct 16-With the Berlin n-Constantinople railroad cut by the allied occupation of Nish, Ger many is relying upon it's Black sea fleet to hold Turkey in line. Infor- nation has been received at the State Department that the Turkish govern ment has been told by Berlin that the fleet will open fire on the Ottoman capital at the first sign of defection.
 This German fleet consists largely of warships captured rom the Rus sians, but is believed here to be strong enough to control, for the pres ent at least, the Turkish government. With the British forces rapidly clear ing Palestine and Mesopotamia of Turkish control, Turkey must hold to COnstantinople as it's only hope of maintaining any power as govern ment.
 News from Copenhagen today that Izzet P3sha has been appointed pre- mier and minister of war in the new Turkish cabinet was interpreted as meaning that Berlin still is not with out q friend at court Because of his i long service as chief of the Turkish army staff and his association with German officers, Izzet is considered friendly to Germany.
 The accuracy of reports that the Un- ion and Progress Club, the most pow erful organization in Turkey, has been closed at the demsnd of the Turkish army staff, was doubted by officials here, who said such action would be tsntamount to military revolution. If the report is true, they declared anything might happen in Constan- :, tinople.

 Winthrop had reported on Wednes- day evening closed subscriptions to the amount of $4,75o They had also closed Thursday and whatever they may have raised on that day is not included in these figures.
 Taese figures will bring grand tot al from three banking towns of Ash down, Wilton and Winthrop to $99, ,45O in closed subscriptions The report from Foreman is expected to greatly swell this figure, hut we have no fig ures yet to justify that Little River county is yet over the top.

Try to Arrange Political Reforms to Meet Wilson's Demands-Bejieyed Germany Is Not Yet Prepared for
 Unconditional Surrender.

Washington, Get. 17.-Signs multi piled today that Germany and Aus tri. are hastening to raarrange their internal political affairs and their methods of warfare in the hope of meeting the requirements laid down by President Wilson in his reply to Germany's peace profrer. There was no indication when the German an- swer would come, but that one would be dispatched YVES made more cer- tain by the statements of Baron Buri- an, the Austrian foreign minister, be- fore the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Austrian Parliamnet
 Following closely the radical chang es made in the German governmental structure 2s recorded ill cable dis patches from Amsterdam. and Rot terdam, information came to the State Department today that the Aus trian emperor had announced to the Foreign Affairs Committee of Par lament his purpose to. grant auton- omy to the oppressed nationalities in the dual empire The right to auton- omous existence for these nationali- ties is one of the pesce requirements laid down by President Wilson.
 ] Baron Burian's statement to the Foreign Affairs Committee that Ger many will make the constitutional notifications necessary to realize the demand for a democratic form of gov ernment and abdication of military control was regarded as clearly indi- eating the Austrian purpose to do like wise. Events are moving in the sam direction in Turkey where the sultan has declared for @ representative gov ernment. so that the whole program oi constitutional reform now under way is the result of an agreement between the three allies to meet on the presi- dent conditions for a cessation o hostilities.
 LOOting Is Checked.
 Baron Burian's statement that Ger. many will be in position to accep the presidents demands regarding the humanizing of the war appears tt be borne out in measure by reports from the battle front in Belgium ant northern France that the Germans gre not footing and destroying private property as heretofore, If this is fol lowed hy the abandonment Of subma :. rine attacks on merchant shiprings officials feel tha. the principal .ob stacle ill the wy of an adjustment will be found only in the arrange ment of an armistice.
 To Resist Armistice Terms.
 There is no doubt that the Ger mans will make a. desperate effort tt resist the announced puspose of the president to leave the terms of ar armistice to the military commanders of the American and allied forces, and it may be some time before they arc sufficiently humbled in spirit to admit that it is not for them to dictate, but simply to accept such terms as these military commanders may choose to impose. Baron Burian's address be- fore the Austrian committee is taken to indicate that Germany desires to enter into negotiations on these points and will cling tenaoiously 10 it's plan Of a mixed commission to deal with the matter of evacuation.
