German government and by a large majorty of the reich tag of the terms laid down by the president of the United States of America in his address to the congress of the United States on the 8th of January, 1918, and in his subsequent addresses justifies the president in making- a frank and direct statement of his decision with regard to the communications of the German government of the 8lh and 12th of October, 1918. "It must be clearly understood that the process of evacuation an ! the conditions of an armistice are matters which must be left to tlm judgment and advice of the military "^""advisers of the government of the United States and the allies' governments and the president feels it is bis duty to say that no arrangements can be accepted by the government of the United States which docs not provide absolutely satisfactory safe^ guard and guarantees of the main I tcnancc of the present military su- < , premacy of the armies of the United t States and the allies in the field. < "He feels confident that he can 1 iiafely assume that this will also be the judgment and decision of the < 'allies' governments.

Austria-Hungary and Turkey may be informed that a complete rupture l>ot\veen their respective Governments and the Government of Germany must be insisted upon as a condition precedent to the granting of an armistice and peace. That the political situation in Austria-Hungary i3 ciiticnl and that in Turkey probably wor.e is well known to high officials of the Admnistration. Internal conditonss confronting the Dual Monarchy and the Ottoman Empire will be taken advantage of bv the United States and the Allies in disposing of their I respective pleas for an armistice and peace. The replies to Austria-Hungary I aim i urKey nave no^f yet gone' forward, and indications to-day were Hat. they will.be delayed at least long enough for the full significance of President Wjlson'.; ''decision'' on Germany's proposition for an a> niistice to be realized by the people of her tv/o allies.

The President has regarded Austria-Hungary and Turkey as littl more tha i vnssas of Germany. \Vh?l tied to Germany in the war, these two powers have generally been regarded as less guilty and consequently less responsible than the military masters of the German Empire.

"It is as follows: " 'The destruction of every arbitrary power anywhere that can sep- c arately, secretly and of its single ( choice, disturb the peace of the c world, or if it can not he presently c destroyed, at least its reduction to virtual impotency.'"

The Allied attack found the enemy engaged in a huge effort to remove these effects as far as possible before being kicked out. In the last three months the Germans have had more than 100,000 casualties in Flanders, and the losses were heavily augmented with yesterday's lighting. It is just three months ago that the enemy intended, as is now conclusively known, to d ive for the Channel ports. Ho had concentrated forty divisions for that purpose when Marshal Foch turned the tide on July 18, the very day the enemy drive was to be launched. Some of the stores which the enemy had assembled for that project, are doubtless those v.*hVh i t tiv la two weeks he has consigned to the flames, htivbig been unai.m to g\ . them away. . nd other stores hrouyh.l here With the snnn i 1 ,,HV .U > K'V M : 1.1 rpioslion wore burned yesterday at Routers, Thourotte and Coit mavek. which towns the Germans set on fire.

The Prussian war lords have certainly ^iven the Bavarians more than their hare of work lately. GET SOME WHISKEY FOR PNEUMONIA As the influenza abate;; the people may look to hear of pneumonia asos.

Many places of business are closed | down from time to time, either because tho proprietors were sick or on account of the sickness more or less of the employees. j Lack of doctors and nurses in Con| way and to send to cases in the country suffering from bad complications | has perhaps been the most, d'scourag! ing feature of the situation rrn.m V-Vf . L. Ill"* continues to be a great handicap in handling I lie disease. lip to Monday two negroes and i two men and one or two women had died from the disease in Conway. Reports reached Conway of some serious cases of the disease in the country and that it was rapidly spreading to about all sections of the country. I Precautions were taken with the sickness anil those left up have had more than they could possibly attend to Dr H. L. Scarborough recovered from the disease and was out again by last Saturday. Dr J. S. Duscnbury had also recovered and was back m i harness by Friday of last week. For the last week or mow Conwny has been like, a dead town very fevr*^ people coming in from the country. Rev E. L. McCoy visited about aJJ the homes in the business and main residence portions of Conway last Monday morning and reported that there was a general improvement In the situation. Reports from the coun try however were to the effect that now sections were developing the disease and eases of it were mnHmiw ~JL"J ~ ing. Under the circumstances there was n<> possibility el' getting professional nurses or even a call from a doctor. So tlie demand has been great for the assistance of those who had not been stricken with the disease and many men and women have been administering first aid. Among those to volunteer their services during the emergency was Mr A. N. Cox. He has been busy all the time going* from house to house seeing that medicines are giv?n and proper precautions token. Neighbors have been generous in aiding one another in the emergency. M isses May Goldfinch and Donna doleman.
