This belief is based on the increasing gravity ot Germa ny's position, both militarily and in ternally. The German retreat, greatly acceler ated yesieriiav by an a vet age advance of six miles on the entire iront irom the Scheldt to the Meuse, has become almost a rout. Germany's communica tion lines from France and Belgium also are threatened most seriously oy the advance of tne British, French and Americans Wednesday. Vervins, only eight miles from Hirson. an important railway center, was captured Wednes day. as was omteourt, ten miles from Mezieres and eight miles from Sedan. The British turned the German liana at Valenciennes and the Americans car ried out a similar maneuver west of the Meuse. The seventy-one divisions under com mand of Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria, forced to retreat northwaid, it is believed, will find it difficult to escape without some of them being forced to seek internment in Holland. Chairman Hurley was in conference with trustees of the shipping board when the United Press news was handed him. The meeting broke up in disor der. . . . - Crowds formed on the streets of Washington as additional extras, based upon the United Press news, came out.

Nov. 7. —Premier Lloyd Gieorge received official intimation last night that the German armistice dele gation had arrived within the British lines. Officials who are usually well inform ed state that an armistice is certain. t.ERMAXY SOON WILL KNOW ALLIED ARMISTICE TERMS WASHINGTON. Nov. 7—Within a few hours the German high command will know the terms upon which the plea of the German government for an armistice looking toward peace may be granted. Unofficial dispatches received early today said the German delegates reached the western front and crossed into the allied lines last night and were to be received by Marshal Foch at daylight this morning. Upon receiving the armistice terms, formulated by the supreme war coun cil of the allied and United States gov ernments, it is believed by officials here, the German emissaries will transm.t the conditions immediately by telegraph or present them in person to the Ger man high command in the field. This belief is predicated on the assumption that, as in the case of Bulgaria. Turkey and Austria, the armistice question will be dealt with as a purely military issue. May Deliberate Several Daya The decision of the German general staff as to acceptance or rejection of the terms is not expected for several days by diplomatic observers here. Be cause of the nature of the terms—con sidered as not less drastic than those laid down for Austria—lt is thought that some time may be required by the German military heads for discussion before a decision Is reached. It is believed Germany knew from the terms of the Austrian armistice the sort of peace she had to expect, and that her military and political situa tions give her no alternative but to bow. News conies from the front that the hard pressed German armies have no fresh divisions left to throw into the battle. They have no great reserves of ammunition. The German people are demanding peace at any price to save whatever they may from the wreckage. A few junker newspapers are still cry- guarantee that each spoonful will clean your sluggish liver better than a dose of nasty calomel, and that It won’t make you sick.

Greatest Humiliation From a British viewpoint, the great ‘ est humiliation Germany will suffer will i be in having her fleet surrender or pass ! out ot the war without one great fight i to the death. But news from Kiel I makes it doubtful whether the sailors would go into battle if the officers de cided to fight. Even the best informed men here are unable to arrive at a clear judgment, from the many*cpnfilcting reports as to the magnitude of the revolt against war among the German people, or how strong is the demand for the etnperor’s abdica tion. One fact is plain. There never was such freedom of speech in Ger many as today. Diplomats and soldiers are each trying to place the blame for their country’s downfall on the other. Placards have blossomed in Berlin saying the emperor and the crown prince must go. Correspondents are permitted to tele graph from Berlin that the vacillat ing character of the emperor is respon sible for most of the nation's misfor tunes. The Peace Conference Discussion here centers about the peace conference, where it will be held and what program will be followed. One of Its most urgent problems will be to arrange food supplies for starving Europe. It is assumed that even the people of the central empires will be eared for. although the allies cannot he expected to suffer great privations for the sake of their'enemies. Demobiliza tion of armies and the repatriation of soldiers, prisoners and exiles, including 150,000 Belgians in Great Britain, who are anxious to go home, are other great tasks before the conference. According to tonight’s reports, the general election in Great Britain, which Andrew Bonar Law. chancellor of the exchequer, is expected to announce to morrow for December 7, will be post poned because the government cannot have the election and the peace confer ence on its hands at the same time. HUNGARY NEUTRAL BETWEEN GERMANY AND RUSSIA COPENHAGEN. Nov. 7.—Hungary has declared itself neutral in the threatened trouble between Germany and the Russian Bolshevik government, according to advices received here to day. The Hungarian war minister has or dered that all German troops travers ing his country shall be transported without arms. Germany, it is learned, reejuested the Bolshevik! to withdraw their diplomats until the murder of German ambassa dor Mirbach has been atoned, and until Russia guarantees its organs will not conduct revolutionary propaganda in Germany. The German ambassador at Moscow also has been ordered home. LONDON EXPECTS FIGHTING TO BE OVER IN FEW DAYS LONDON, Wednesday, Nov. 6. —Re- ports that German delegates have start ed from Berlin to meet Marshal Foch are considered here as an assurance that fighting will be over in a few days. This causes satisfaction everywhere, but there is no celebrating here and London is as quiet and dark as it has been at any time during the past four years. The la’st days of the war have been so crowded with enormous events that there Is no capacity left for surprise or sensations. The terms of President Wilson's note to Germany dealing with the freedom of the seas and compensa tion to the allies, are indorsed by all newspapers here. POLES DEMAND WITHDRAWAL - OF GERMANS AT ONCE AMSTERDAM, Nov. 7. —Demands that the Germans withdraw their troops forthwith from Poland have been for warded to Berlin by the new Polish na tional government, according to the Rheinische Westphalian Gazette, of Es sen. GERMAN SOCIALISTS DELIVER ULTIMATUM TO MAXIMILIAN AMSTERDAM. Nov. 7.—Herr Ebert has notified Chancellor Maximilian that unless an armistice is concluded imme diately the Socialists will not support the government and will not guarantee there will be no revolution. MAXIMILIAN TELLS PEOPLE ORDER MUST BE MAINTAINED PARIS, Nov. 7.—(1:40 p. M.) —Chan- cellor Maximilian has published a proclamation to the German people, an nouncing that a delegation to receive the terms of the armistice has been promptly sent to -the west front. “The maintenance of order and disci pline with the free consent of the peo- I>le in these decisive hours is an abso lute necessity which any democratic government must make its duty to the nation.” the proclamation concluded. CZECHO-SLO V A KIA P LA N NI NG MOBILIZATION AGAINST HUNS AMSTERDAM, Wednesday, Nov. 6. — All men liable to miltary service up to twenty-six years of age throughout Czecho-Slovakia have been called to the colors, according to a Prague dis patch to the Weser Zeitung of Bremen. It is said that this order includes Ger man Bohemia. Comments in the Czech press indicate that the mobilization is ugainst Germany. EMPRESS ZITA TO GO TO CASTLE IN BOHEMIA ZURICH, Nov. 7.—Empress Zita of Austria has asked permission of the Prague government to go with her chil dren to Brande'.s castle on the Elbe, in Bohemia, accord ng to the Prague Tage blatt. The government in its reply con sented to the empress' entry into Bo hemia as a private individual. unclesaKTwFll STAND BY RUMANIA, LANSING DECLARES WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.—The United States government today notified Ru mania that her separate peace with the central powers would not prejudice her Interests at the peace table. Secretary Lansing wrote the Ruma nian charge that the United States would exert its influence toward fulfill ment of Rumania's just ambitions. Rumania had feared that her rights would be overlooked, so a few days ago the Rumanian charge presented a memorandum outlining her aims and suggesting they should be recognized Secretary Lansing, in reply today, said: “The government of the United States has constantly had in mind the future welfare and integrity of Rumania as a free and independent country and prior to the existence of a state of war be tween the United States and Austria- Hungary a message of sympathy and appreciation was sent by the president to the king of Rumania. “Conditions have changed since that time and the president accordingly de sires me to inform you that the'gov ernment of the United States is not un mindful of the aspirations of the Ru manian people without, as well as with in, the boundaries of the kingdom. “It has witnessed their struggles and | sufferings and sacrifices in the cause of i freedom from their enemies and their oppressors. With the spirit of national unity and the aspirations of the Ru manians everywhere, the government of the United States deeply sympathizes and will not neglect at the proper time to exert its Influence that the just polit ical and territorial rights of the Ru manian people may be obtained and made secure from all foreigh aggres sions.” The state department also asked the : American legation at Jassj- to present a duplicate to the Rumanian govern ment. T 9seph and Son Bow To Hungarian Council AMSTERDAM.

Slavonia and Djtlmatia with in dependent Austria. SPEAKERS BLAME WAR BOARD FOR RECENT SLUMP IN COTTON (Continued from Page X) I I Undoubtedly the decline was not caused by any legitimate condition of the mar ket. There is something plainly wrong and we want to find the remedy. The cost of producing cotton has more than kept pace with the advanced price of cotton and the price of cotton manu factured goods has gone far beyond the price of the raw material. The cotton growing Industry is not represented in the cotton section of the war industries i board. I have called this fact to the ; attention of the governors of the cotton | states and most of them have pledged I their co-operation m attempting to se cure the appointment of a man who is j familiar with the industry from the standpoint of the producer.’’ The next speaker was Governor Man- I ring, of South Carolina. After touch ing on the war and declaring that the south was ready to make any sacrifice to win the war, Governor Manning said: “I am not going to call names or be abusive, but I will say that the time has come for us to stand upon our rights and protect what is ours. "We are not crying out when we are hit. We are simply acting to avert disaster in a great industry which con cerns not only the south, but the nation. ! It is not necessary to charge that the ; recent violent slump in the cotton mar- i ket was caused by manipulation. The facts speak for themselves. We’ are partly to •blame for throwing too muck cotton on the market. I believe we should act conservatively but we must serve notice that we must be paid the cost of production plus a reasonable profit for our cotton.” Charles S. Barrett, president of the ' National Farmers' union, said: “The farmers did not start the price i of cotton downward. The bankers did not start it downward. The cotton gam blers did not start it downward. The spinners did not start it downward. Who did? “I ant not going to say, but the same power that started it downward can hold it down." Colonel William Lawson Peel, of At lanta, said: "I feel it my duty to give my opin ion of the reason for the decline in the price of cotton. You can accept it for what you think it is worth. It is pure ly a question of ship bottoms. If the war should go on six months there would be no relief in sight, but the war is likely to end at any moment. Then the shipment of munitions will stop, making room for the exportation of cotton. There will be a tremendous de mand for cotton in every country in Europe. The price will soar. We have nothing to do but wait and Hold our cotton. Royston Man Speaks L. J. McConnell, of Royston, Ga., a cotton buyer and warehouseman, blamed the war industries board entirely for the present slump. He declared that the board has made it clear that it will hold down the price if the price goes up, but hqs never given any indication of uplifting the price should the price go down be,ow the cost of production. He said that he would not question the Integrity of the chairman of the war industries board (Barney Baruch), but the first time the south ever heard of that gentleman was in the role of a great bear speculator. Commissioner of Agriculture Mcßae, of Florida, heartily indorsed Mr. Mc- Connell’s sentiments. He declared that the war industries board knows nothing of the problems involved in cotton pro duction and apparently is not anxious to find out. He said he recently proved this fact to his own satisfaction, and compelled the board Itself to admit this fact, in connection with the board’s handling of the sea island cotton situa tion. The first stage of the meeting was in the nature of an open forum, during which the various speasers took occa sion to express their views on the cot ton situation. Then the gathering grad ually got down to the point where reso lutions were to be considered. Calls It “Damocles’ SwOrd” Pat Gambrell, of Macon, Ga., submit ted to the conference a copy of a reso lution adopted last Monday by a mass meeting of Cobb county fanners and business men. He also took occasion to criticise the war industries board for holding over the south the threat of price fixing like a sword of Damocles. At this juncture Chairman J. J. Brown appointed the following resolutions com mittee, to which were referred the Cobb county resolutions and all others to be subsequently introduced: E. A. Calvin, Washington representative of the Cot ton States Advisory Marketing board: L. B. Jackson, market bureau director of GeorgiA; O. B. Ford, of Alabama; P. P. Garner, of Mississippi; Commissioner of Agriculture Mcßae, of Florida; J. H. Mills, president of the Georgia Farmers’ union. Just at this point William H. üßr well, former speaker of the Georgia house, announced to the conference that it was reported that Germany had ac cepted the terms of armistice. This announcement and the blowing of whis tles. which began about that time, were greeted with loud and long applause. The discussion was closed by E. A. Calvin, who sroke at length. He made the unqualified assertion that govern mental interference caused the recent slump. “Cotton,” he said, “was at its high-1 est level when Chairman' Baruch, cf, the war industries board. Issued his| statement announcing that the board | would shortly fix the price. That state ment knocked 250 points off the price in twenty-four hours. In a recent con versation with Chairman Baruch I told him that his statement caused the slump. He differed with me verv etn-1 phatically. T told him that whether 5 he was responsible or not. the farmers | of the south were charging him and him i alcne with the responsibility.” ' In winding up his remarks, Mr. Cal- I vin emphasized very strongly the need 1 for a norganized holding movement among the farmers. He declared that the battle could be won in this way £nd in this way alone. At the close of his speech the con ference took a recess until 4 o'clock, at which time it will receiv ethe report of the resolutions committee.

Isn’t it to get the goods you want at prices that give you full value for your money? Every time you make a purchase you get a shock Prices are going higher every day Goods of all kinds are scarce. The smaller the store from which you buy, the’harder time you have getting what you want, and at the right price. Here is the way this problem has been solved by over 1,600,000 families, who live at a distance from the big buying centers They buy in New York from an immense group of stores that gives them the widest possible choice of goods, at remarkably low prices,. They don’t have to go to New York.
