The military rep resentatives of the supreme war council in connection with the in structions given them yesterday by the council are taking steps to ar range for the distribution on entente and American forces, if the latter are needed, in parts of Turkey. French reports of mal-administra-tipn of Armenians and other subject races by local Turkish governors and the refusal by the porte to supply the necessarry corrective measures are understood to have been the reason for the action of the council yester day in taking measures towards sup plying military forces to mainta.n order in the Turkish area.

He made his first appearance in 1874 and subsequently played leading roles in very successful plays both in the United States and England. GOVERNMENT WAR EXPENSES STILL LARGE Washington, Jan. 31. Although nearly three months have passed since the signing of the armistice, the American government's war ex penses show no signs of decreasing materially, except in loans to allies. In January the treasury paid out about $1,600,000,000 for ordinary war expenses, exclusive of allied loans, or;only $70,000,00o less than in No vember and considerably more than in any month heretofore. Officials eexplained this was not to lifl .as ideating that produc- the tremendous rate of several months ago. Manufacturers now are presenting their bills and receiv ing payment for materials delivered long ago, however, and this keeps up expenses. Payments to the allies fell to about $10,000,000 in January. When these loans were first instituted, the government contemplated turning over about $5O0,,00O5,OO0 credits to the allies every month, but actual payments ordinarily ran around $380. 000.000 monthly. The treasury cited figures on the present government outlay to empha size the necessity for another . big war loan of five or six billion dollars in April. Current expenses now are paid largely out of borrowings from banks and other purchasers of the (government's short term certificates of indebtedness.

The entire Atlantic fleet is expected to sad from Hampton Roads Monday or Tuesday of, next week for Guantanamo, where the midwinter maneuvers and target practice will be held These battle practices of the fleet, held four times each year, at Guantanamo in midwin ter, off the Virginia capes each spring and fall and off the New Eng and coast in mid summer, were in terrupted by the entry of the United States into the European war. The fleet will begin to assemble in the roads tomorrow preparatory for the' trip to Guantanamo. A number of the ships, including the Arizona Arkansas and Florida, have been un dergoing repairs at the navy yard in preparation for the maneuvers. The Arizona is still in dry dock. No word has been received from Jake Hanna, 15-year-o,ld son of Mr. Wall Hanna, who lives near Horseford bridge, and relatives and officers are still looking for him. It is believed that the youngster decided to strike out for excitement At any rate, he left home one day last week, and his folks have not heard from him. By the Associated Prfi Washington, Jan. 31.

This was; the decision of the stock holders and directors at their annual meeting at the Chamber of Com merce yesterday afternoon and the fair will be made' better than ever. Already preparations are being made for a greater institution than ever and if the "pulling together of" all the stockholders and officers will bring it to pass, the public will find this to be the case.

MAJOR LYERLY WRITES LETTER By the Associated Pvess. Glasgow, Scotland, Jan. 31 Several nersons were injured here today when the police charged a crowd of WM. S. HART AT . Some indication of what the 105th 16Pgtafcei34id in thsuhisr ftshtlng in France is given in a letter from Maj. Geo. L. L'yerly. . The 30th division to which the engineers were at tached, smashed the Hindenburg line, and part of the time the engineers were repairing roads and bridges, "and at other time were carrying rirles and chasing the Hun. The losses of the second battalion, commanded by Major Lyerly were quite heavy, and it is estimated the total casual ties were 280. Major Lyeriy has been decorated for his splendid con duct in the war when he should have been in bed with the flu. His letter will be read with in terest by hundreds of friends of the soldiers: I have intended writing you a num ber of times and give you some dope, but have been so busy that I hardly found titme to write to even my better half, so please don't feel slighted in the least, for I have thought of you lots since I arrived over here seven months ago. And besides we were not allowed to give out dope until here of late. I want to state that I have ap preciated ""the Hickory Daily Record more than I can tell you and it sure has kept me posted regarding the home news. The first few months I was over here my wife sent me the papers every week by second class mail and sometimes I would not get the papers for months, but for the past few months she has been send ing me the papers in an envelope as first class mail and I have been get ting them promptly. Believe me, always look for the paper when the mail comes in and after I finish the letters from my wife I always read the papers before I do another thing. I even did this while we were fight ing at the front and this is saying a lot. Believe me, your papers were read with eagerness by me, and they did me lots of good; they made me think of home and feel a little as if I were there. Let the good work keep up and give us all the news, as you have always done. I believe the Record was carried farther to the front than any other paper because they were always sent up to me by my orders. So this is a good point and record for your pa per. I In one of the papers I got today I noticed an editorial relative to the deeds of the Old Hickory Division and the casualties the same had, and I notice you stated that you hoped some one who was over here in this (Continued on page three NEWTON BOYS WITH FOURTH CORPS ABROAD James Ooley Mundy, formerly a phamacist with the Freeze Drug Com pany of Newton, is at Mayen, Ger many, with the fourth army corps, acco)rdiaig to tjhe f'Fourth Corps Flare," published in good American at that place.

The newest irritation to arise at the peace conference is what the French call "gales" and what is known elsewhere as the "French itch." It is annoy ing, but not a dangerous ailment of the skin, and is something like the seven-years' itch and is indigenous in 'almost every countryp under dif ferent names. The itch was brought to Paris. If any of the American delegates to the peace conference have contract ed it, diplomacy forbids betrayal of the fact but the parasite is rempant at the headquarters of the American mission. ctVprs with their batons.
