The increase is distributed as fol
blows. Bank of Hattiesburg, $4,000;
Citizens Bank, $4,000; First-Nationai

The outcome of the PresidentiA race at
o'clock this afternoon, YVES still in doubt with ev-
erything favorable toward the reelection of Presi-
dent Wilson.
Five states are in the doubtful column. In
these, the Democrats have decided advantage in
three. In the remaining two the Republicans are
ahead. although by small margins
Wilson is leading in California and North Da-
kota New Hampshire, called doubtful has given
III plurality to the President although these figures
have not been certified to by the Secretary of State
Hughes is leading in Minnesota and New
Mexico.
1t is not believed that Wilson will be able to
overcome the lead of the Republicans in Minnie
sofa, although it is possible for the Democrats to
wrest New Mexico from their opponents.
That Wilson will carry California, and, in SO
doing insure his reelection is confidently predicted
by the Presidents supporters. It is beived that he
will carry North Dakota by safe plurality, thereby
giving himself extra electoral votes which he does
not require.
In the California, North Dakota, Minnesota,
and New Mexico voting, should Wilson win the first
and lose all the Others, he would have majority
of the electoral vote.
Ii is believed that the final and complete Cali
fornia returns will be available before the end Of
the afternoon.

GERMANY AND THE
 LIUQOR TRAFFIC

Richmond P. Hobson, Hero of the Spanish-American War, Representa- tive from Alabama sets right before the judiciary Committee of the Senate small group of Germans who had attributed the greatness of the Fatherland and it's heroes tc booze:
 ''It was pitiful to hear those men portray great men as being great from the use of alcohol. There is little excuse for their ignorance in citing Marshal Von Moltke. He was an ardent total abstainer and helped to found the greatest temperance association of Germany. He said, Germany has more to fear from beer than from all the armies of France"
 "At this point I will cite the state ment of 800 German professors and physicians who over their own signatures declared among other things:
 Science has shown that alcohol, even in moderate quanties, causes disturbance in the brains action and paralyzes critical capacity, power of will, the ethical and aesthetic sense, and lowers self-control. For this reason one should realize that it is a poison and no longer to be claased with foods. Drinking GUS toms bring degeneracy, poverty, sickness, vice, crime, madness, and death.
 The Federal Government Of Ger many sends antialcohol cards to all German mothers at the vaccination of their newborn. Every child enter ing a Berlin school takes home to it's mother one of these cards eX- plaining the injury that alcohol does particularly to the child.
 "One of the German-Americans referred to Bismarck with great pride as an example of drinking customs As a matter of fact, a say ing of Bismarck's in Germany is be- ing reproduced all over Germany, to the effect that if the workmen's $ protective code should be extended to the protection against that Dia- bolus Germanious, the drink devil, the great part of the social question would be solved at once.
 "Effective means are being used to cut out drinking in all forms in the German Army and the German Navy. Dr. Mattahei, staff physician of the German Army, declares, re- presenting the attitude of the Ger man authorities:
 "'We should not discuss modera- tion with a man; the thing has long since been settled by science. The use of narcotic poisons is simply indecent and criminal :" Adv.

 Andy Sheflin, the we'll known Candle miner, who arrived on Sun- day from the Inmachuck says that he travelled with the late Clyde Kenyon who shot himself, as far as the Inmachuck. He stopped at the roadhouse. Andy did not know about the matter until he reached here. He saw nothing about the late MT. Kenyon which would indicate that the shooting was anything else but a regrettable accident. The deceased complained once or twice about a pain in his nose and head from frost and they used to josh him about his dread of the trip across the trail, but he was lively and fine com panion.

Denotes Japanese Not Wei

Criticism Is Directed at Letter
issued by Governor Which
Mentions No Races

Governor Lucius Pinkham's letter
appears to signify that he does not
want the Japanese to join the Nation
al Guard, said X. Kawamura, city edi-
tor Of the Nippu Jill, today 1T Is un-
fortunate that Just at the time when
japanese were supporting the move
ment to form Japanese company
Pinkham should write an open
letter stating that there was not
enough funds for new company.
'If there was not enough funds for
a new company IL appears strange that
Pinkham should net have mentioned
this before, instead Of issuing an open
letter at the time that the Japanese
were discussing the question. He per-
haps knew that there was not fund
for such q purpose, but did not make
mention Of 1t until the Young Ameri-
can-born Japanese were taking an In
terest In the movement
Does Governor Pinkham really
want Japanese to join the National
Guard? Would he be opposed to Japa.
nese joining the companies now seek
ing membership? These are few ot
the questions that the Japanese are
asking. A clear statement from Pink
ham on this question would bI re
