during the next two months.
In the first place 250,000 copies of
the document are to be printed for
distribution in the various counties,

eral use of newspaper space in call
ing to the attention of the voters the

ON TO CONSTANTINOPLE.
Saloniki, Oct. 4.—“We will soon

the vanquished Turk will be thrown
once and for all into Asia, declared
Gen. Franchet d’Esperey, the allied
commander-in-chief on the Macedo
nian front, in replying to a demon
stration today. He said that the be
ginning now made would be contin
ued. The carrying out of the clauses
f
of the armisti'ee between Bulgaria
and the allies began Wednesday.
Burning villages marked the trail |
of the retreating Bulgarian army,
in Macedonia, according to telegrams
received here from the front. Bodies
of slain civilians were found in the
smoking ruins at many places by the
advancing allies. Advices state that
this work of destruction surpassed
I even that which has been reported
1 from districts in France and Belgium
from which the Germans have been
I driven.

i ken on the initiative of Baron Burian,
i the Austrian foreign minister, the
i newspaper says.

terests of peace and we are already
negotiating.”
ARBUCKLE DELIVERS OPINION.
Special to Independent
Little Rock, Oct. 5.—The quorum
i courts of the state will be asked to
i make appropriations for the support
of the county council of defense.
In an opinion on the subject, At
i torney General Arbuckle said:
i “In general, in the opinion of this
j office, it could not be considered a
i county purpose, but I can readily see
! how a condition might arise when,
| under Section 6, of Section 1499 of
i Kirby’s Digest, such county councils
I might, in time of war, become a
county purpose, and even a necessity,
in taking care of public property.”
General Arbuckle says further:
“The validity of appropriations by
the quorum courts of the various
counties of the states for the main
tenance of county councils must de
pend in the first instance on the fact
as to whether or not such appropria
tions are for county purposes. This
would be a matter to be determined
by the court itself when considering
such an appropriation.”
“Dash, determination and daring—
also efficiency”—That’s what our
boys at the front are doing. Keep ’en
go;ng! War Savings is a message t<
the kaiser that will “get over.”
The more you help the men at the
nont the quicker the end will come.
