I came down last September to a

But he had the same geniality that

friend of his work in Duluth and
his ambitions to rise in it to even
bigger jobs, and his hope that by
careful attention to diet and hygiene
he might be able to withstand the

 Miller was member of the ratio lodge of the Progressive Farmers and Household Union of America, and is a brother of Jim. Miller, alleged "squad leader" of the Hoop Spur lodge, numerous members of which have been tried in the courts here for complicity in the insurrec- ton.
 Judge J. M. Jackson of the Phillips county circuit court this ot afternoon sentenced Ed Ware, convicted of murder in the first degree in con- nection with the killing of w. A. Ad. kins at Hoop Spur on the night of September 30 to die in the electric chair at Little Rock. on January 2, 1920.
 This makes the total number sen- tenced to die in connection with the insurrection an even dozen.

France and Great
 Britain Do Not
 Want New Treaty

London, Nov. 19.-Great Britain and France are considering whether they are not compelled to carry out the German peace treaty and operate the league of nations independently of the United States, pending the decisions of the American govern ment on it's course.
 It is pointed out that matters are continually arising under the treaty which need immediate attention, such as plebiscite commissions, and it is considered that because of this fact 1t is no longer possible to delay mak- ing the pact operative.
 The opinion strongly prevails here that Great Britain will not ac- cept any reservations made by the United States senate which would necessitate the negotiation of a new treaty, as the British government, it is declared, has every present in tention of abiding by the decisions of the Paris conference.
 The belief still exists in this capi- tai that the American government will ultimately take it's place with the allies. Meanwhile there appears to be a possibility that Great Britain and the others will proceed without the United States.

British Institute Aerial Warfare On
 Tribe of Indians

London, Nov. 19.-Opening of aerial warfare against the Mahsud tribesmen on the northwestern from, tier of India has been ordered, it is stated in advices from India today. The order was given November 12, after the Mahsuds had failed to com- ply with the terms laid down in the British ultimatum late in October, in which the tribesmen were informed that unless they discontinued their continual attacks on British posts and conveys and etheir raids into British territory they would be sub ject to an intense aerial lombard ment. The British airmen now have been instructed to lombard the vil- lages of Kanigurun, Maxim, and Marobi.
 The Waziri tribesmen in the same district, who were similarly notified in the ultimatum, had been given un- til today to reply and this morning the notification was still unanswer- ed.
 The effects of air bombardment have not yet been reported.

Beggar Pest Is
 BOthering Vienna

Vienna, Nov 19.-This place is suffering from daily increasing crippled soldiers by far the greater part of the swarms that haunt the thoroughfares are civilians, men, wo- men and children of all ages, from tiny bare-footed ragged tots to old men and old women. Women with babies in arms and others clutching at their skirts, little girls and little boys of school age and other persons parade the sidewalks in the hotel and cafe districts and pass in steady streams through the restaurants and cafes. Some are licensed, but they are few. The Vienesse beggar while persistent is never abusive when re- fused.
