AZ read the address, the
; thoughts that they contained
brought back to my mind the per-
secutions inflicted upon Ireland, not
only in the past, but. at the present
time. England has been attempting
to keep the world in ignorance Of
. the true conditions in Ireland since

been stifled.

It's Wilson, from Maine to Califor-
mia; from the Great Lakes to the
Gulf The country is going to give

tial endorsements of his administration

This is the report brought to Hat
tiesburg today by G. P. Smith, pro-
prietor of the Phoenix Laundry, who
has just returned from the annual
meeting of the National Laundrymen's
Association, held in Cincinnati. There
were 1900 or more laundrymen at
the convention, from every section OF
the country.

these men made" Mr.. Smith said. Il
felt that certain sections of the coun-
try had appreciated what Mr.. Wilson
! had DONE, but had no idea that
the country as whole-if these dele
gates are to be believed-was so united
in its support of the president
"These business men keep in close
touch with the people in their respect
i've cities. A Brooklyn man told me
that Wilson was sure to carry New
York, the city and the state. A Mas
sachusetts man was equally as conf
dent Of the presidents reelection
Ohio, California, in fact nearly every
man to whom talked, declared tha'
the people Of the United States have
seen and appreciated what the presi
dent has done, and they are going tc
show their appreciation by voting fol
him next month"

Mother Instinct
Not InfaMble

Vicksburg, Oct. 14.-Does the
mother instinct give the female
parent the power to recognize
her own offspring? Attaches at
the Vicksburg State Charity Hos
pital would be inclined to answer
this question in the negative.
One night this week three moth
ers in the institution gave births
to three children. The babies
came into the world between II
o'clock p m. and a. m.
The nurses took the babies in
charge, bathed them. and then put
them all together on a tiny. cot.
When the mothers of the trio OF
babies began taking interest in
things they were shown the three
babies in a row on. the cot.
Mother instinct did not lead the
mothers Alright. The wrong babies
were demanded, and the women
we're Just bit afraid lest q wrong
youngster be foisted on her as
her own.
But the nurses had carefully
tagged the youngsters when they
were born, and each mother got
her proper baby, and finally be
came reconciled with the chin
given her

is Called eIackmaiI.

London, Oct. 14-The operations of
the German submarine boat U-53 off
the American coast raises no new is
sues as far as the British government
is concerned, in the opinion of Lord
Robert Cecil, minister of war trade,
who discussed today with the Asso-
ciated Press the latest development
in the relations between Great Brit
ain and the United States. Lord Rob
ert declared that this form of war
fare on merchantmen violated inter-
national law as it was recognized by
Great Britain and the United States
in the days before the war, and was
still Objectionable to Great Britain,
but no more so than when it is done
on this side of the water.
For Modification of the Blacklist.
Referring to reports of meetings
between Sir Richard Crawford, COM
mercial attache of the British embas-
sy at Washington, with American
bankers and business men, Lord Rob
ert said no departure in principle had
been made from the British blockade
measures, but it could be safely said
that the general policy leaned in the
direction of a modification rather than
an extension of the blacklist.
The reply to the American blacklist
note was now on the way TO Wash
ington, and this answered the Ameri
can criticism of the principles behind
the measure. AS regards the admin
istration Of the blacklist Lord Robert
said washington had forwarded very
few individual complaints about it.
Replying to the charge that Greai
Britain is violating its equal treat
ment provisions of the Anglo-Ameri
can treaty Of commerce and naviga
ticn of 1915 by granting licenses Z
Japanese and French exporters, whil'
refusing permits to American snip
pers for similar goods, Lord Rober
Cecil said that such restrictions wer'
in the hands Of the board Of trade
but that he was personally of tn
opinion that such treaties lost validit,
during a state Of war.

Acting on suggestions and COM
plants filed with the city and federal
authorities of New Orleans, by local
municipal and county officials, the
federal grand jury in the Louisiana
city has returned indictments against
four breweries there, charging them
with mis-labeling and mis-branding
beer shipped into Mississippi.
While the counts returned are for
specific cases of shipments consigned
to other sections of Mississippi, it is
known that the investigation which
resulted in the indictments in ques-
tion was brought about by complaints
registered by local officials.
Barrels said to contain rice, coffee,
and sugar, have been shipped into
Hattiesburg from New Orleans and
tSlidell, to persons who wouldn't use
barrel of rice in lifetime. Investi-
cations have shown that these con
tanned beer and whiskey, in violation,
not only of the Weakley quart-at-a.
time law, but the old May-Mott-Lewis
law, which limits the amount OF in
toxicants to one gallon of whiskey per
day.
Only recently, package containing
liz quarts of whiskey and labeled with
the legend, "32 bottles of beer only
was confiscated by Chief Benefits
men, from the offices of the Southern
Express Company, and the consignee
given a heavy fine.
Complaints were registered with the
New Orleans authorities some months
ago by the Hattiesburg police and the
county officials. They knew tha
goods were being mis-labeled, but i
was impossible to detect all whiske1
packages coming into Hattiesburg il
disguise.

Long Branch, N. j., Oct. a.
President Wilson, in letter to
Governor Whitman of New York,
sent October 9, and made public
today, declared that the emergency
which caused the sending of the
militia to the Mexican border, un-
happily, still exists.
The President added that he be-
Iieved that conditions in Mexico
are improving, and that in the near
future il would be possible to do
more than has been done to relieve
the embarrassment under which
the organized militia regiments
have necessarily suffered.
The Presidents letter said in
part;
"The emergency which led to
the call Of the militia was as de-
fined in my call of June 8 on the
possibility of aggression from
Mexico and for the protection of
our frontier.
"This emergency still, unhap-
PLY, exists, and am advised by
military authorities that the with
drawaI of the militia at any time
from the date of its original call
up to and including the present,
would have, in all human likeli-
hood, been followed by fresh ag-
qression from Mexico upon the
lives and property Of citizens OF
the United States.

Much Variety
Offered for
Your Curtains

If the eyes are the windows of the
soul, curtains are an index to the
room. Just as all good words can be
found in the dictionary, so can you
find all types of curtains, but you will
be amazed at the variety of good pat
terms presented.
There is an infinite variety of
chintzes, cretonnes, taffetas, gauzes,
scrims, marquisettes, soft silks and
linens, velours in one tone or stripe,
velveteens and brocades, all with
observation-disclosures" quality. Curtains
are really veil to the window, and
both the interior and exterior should
be considered.
Easement cloth may be had in var
ious colors, although not transparent,
probably ranks first among favorite
hangings. Long straight curtains tend
to Increase the apparent height of
room. Valances extending across the
width of the window, make the room
look lower.
Cretonne is best unlined, and a
glimpse at the cretonne counters is
like voyage to fairyland. Velvet
suitable for hangings come in all
grades and widths and are as varied
as they are enchanting.
Etamine voile and artificial silks are
made glorious by the light that filters
through them. An interesting idea in
overdraperies is accomplished by cut
ting out the birds and flowers of block
printed cretonne SO as to have a row
OF the birds in straight line across
the drapery.
Soft creamy ivory and ecru tints al
ways conform to the surroundings of
rooms, and nowadays really all nets
and curtains may be had in these
tones.
