DIR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON DEAD
Born in Slavery, He Becomes the Leading
Educator of His Race

Booker I. Washington, former teacher
and leader of the Negro race in America,
died on November IA at his home near
Tuskegee, Alabama. He suffered nerv-
Gus breakdown in New York City recently,
and realizing that the end was near, de-
termined to make the long trip south in
order to bear out his oft expressed state
ment that he chad been born in the South
had lived all his life in the South, and
expected to die and be buried in the
South.'' He arrived home at midnight,
and passed away at 4: 40 in the morning
Dr. Washington was born in slavery
either in 1858 or 1859 on Virginia
plantation; he never knew the exact date
or place. He learned to write on salt
barrel Hearing of Hampton Institute as
he grew older, he walked the entire dis
tance Of 500 miles and was admitted to
the classes. He did chores and Janltor
work, and later became a member OF the
faculty, which was considered great
triumph for one of his race at that time.
The Tuskegee Institute was started by
DR.. Washington in 1881, amid the most
humble surroundings, and with only
few pupils Any one who has ever seen the
immense institutions at Tuskegee, or who
has looked at birds eye view of the vast
grounds and buildings, can only regard
with utter amazement the achievement
that has been wrought.
The executive ability alone required to
successfully handle the schools, which are
nothing short of mammoth laboratory,
must necessarily be of the highest order.
When one stops to consider that this was
accomplished by slave in the South,

VOLCANOES ACTIVE IN ITALY

Following the eruption of Vesuvius last
week, which caused terror to the inhabi-
tants of the surrounding country, Strom-
boil is also now violently active The
volcano is rapidly destroying vineyards
on the island of Stromboli, off the west
Italian coast.
Immense blocks of burning lava are be-
ing hurled high in the air and ashes and
cinders are descending for miles around.
Violent earth shocks have accompanied
the disturbance.

TAFT WELCOMES PROGREsSIVES
BACK TO G. o. P.

Ex-President William III. Taft, in a
speech before the Hamilton Club, in Chi
cago, last week, extended a welcome home
to Progressives who had returned to the
Republican Party.
Most of them are back already" said
Mr.. Taft. "They have come quietly and
without terms asked for or given
"The generals still have their shoulder
straps and their swords, but their army
has disappeared"

He asked if the government could not
close the door to goods not essential to
the country's existence, saying that vast
quantities were being imported that
could be done without.
Lord Peel, on the same occasion, stated
that gigantic sums were being spent which
were staggering to the ablest fnanciers,
and that he doubted whether the govern
ment was sufficiently serious in enforcing
economy.

ministers Of all the allied nations would

their united general staffs, would control
and direct all their joint military and
naval operations as united whole.
Up to the present time, the various ma

English Suffragist Leader Appointed
to Foreign Post

Sir Edward Grey has appointed Miss
Presley Smith prominent suffragist
leader, as an assistant secretary in the
British Legation at Christiania, Norway,
which is a departure from former British
policy, and is regarded as tribute to the
work Of English women in the war;
In Norway the women are given the
right Of suffrage. Many people believe
that when the war is over the vote will be
given to the women Of England as matter
of course.

Kingly Alliances

When one looks into the governmental
system of various European countries, he
is impressed by the fact that the people
have but little voice in national policy.
The Balkan crisis especially emphasizes
the power of monarchs in diplomatic af-
fairs. 1t is largely game of kings and
king making, and one is not surprised at
the fact that the Balkan states have thus

According to Berlin reports the Austro-
Germans and Bulgarians are steadily ad-
vancing in their efforts to annihilate the
Serbian army. The Serbs have been able
to offer most desperate resistance. but
are falling back from mountain range to
mountain range, before the Teutbnic
forces. Thousands of Serbs have been
taken prisoners, and it is claimed that
their forces are gradually breaking up
into Guerrilla bands and scattering so
much, that it is difficult to effect large
capture in single body
According to reports, the Anglo-French
forces in the South, are engaged in a vigor-
Gus offensive along a sixty mile front, the
heavy French artillery playing a very i'm
portant part in the fighting, and the Bull
garians are said to be gradually retreating
along the whole line.
The Allies, however, seem to have cap
tured no especially important positions
in this region.
Along the western front the Monte
negrins are delivering some telling blows
against the invaders, and have rendered
very material assistance to the Serbs.
The landing Of re-inforcements by the
Allies at Saloniki, continues without cess
alton, and it seems impossible for any
military critic to foretell the events Of the
next two or three weeks, with any degree
of certainty. 1t is generally conceded
that the greater part of Serbia cannot be
saved from the Germanic invaders, but
some writers go to the extent Of stating
that the Anglo-French forces will soon
be in position to make an offensive which
will materially halt their advance. The
opinion is advanced, however, by some
persons that Serbian Macedonia will be
another Gallipoli for the French and Eng
lish forces.
Reports have been current during the
past week. that Italy had decided to lend
sufficient aid to the Allies, in their Balkan
campaign, to assure it's complete success,
but this seems to lack confirmation.
Emperor William is reported to have
arrived in the Balkans for a two days
visit with King Ferdinand, at Sofia, and
to inspect the German armies on the fight
ing front; later he will visit CONSTANT
nople.

Greek King Dissolves Parliament

King Constantine has taken matters in
to his own hands. Realizing that the war
party, under Venizelos, was in the major
ity in the Chamber Of Deputies, he an
nounced the dissolution of Parliament on
November 18th. A new election is set for
December 19.
By taking this action he did that what
Venizelos declared he had no right to do.
It is claimed that he has chosen time
for an election when a genuine ballot is
impossible, inasmuch as all the trained
men of military age are with the colors,
and cannot vote. Furthermore it is stated
that the Greeks who have never received
military training are also to be lmmedl-
ately modified, increasing the army from
100000 to 100000 men.
To make his action more drastic, about
90 members Of the Assembly, who are fol-
lowers of Venizelos, have been denied leave
of absence to conduct campaigns for re-
election.
In the face Of these high-minded meas
ures, serious discomfort has been caused,
and there are rumors Of probable upris-
ings.
The evident intention of King Constan-
tine to prevent the ascendency Of the pro-
ally sentiment, has caused strong sus-
picion of treachery, in London. An ad-
iustment of the situation is now believed
to be one of Kitchener's objects in going
east. He is reported to have arrived at
Mudros, on the Greek Island of Lemnos
in the Aegean Sea.
The French cabinet minister, Denys
Cochin, has also arrived at Athens, and
it is believed they will cooperate in fore
ing a definite statement OF policy from
King Constantine.

Krupp Works Give Half Profits to
War Relief Fund

The Krupp works Of Germany have de-
cided to use half their dividends as re-
lief fund for families of soldiers killed in
battle.
A dividend of IL per cent. was declared
last year, but the business this year would
permit the payment of "a per cent
dividend. Everything about the II per-
cent, however, will be devoted to charity.
