better citizens the entire school
forces of the Tuskegee institute are
laboring vigorously. and the result will
certainly reflect credit on the coun-
try conditions. Warren Logan, act
| ting principal. has proved himself
equal to the emergency and perfect
cooperation prevails among the teach
era The wife and brother of Book
er Washington are actively in the
work, and their services and kindly
touch are noticed in every department.
From Tuskegee to the rural schools is
spreading the growth of home i'm
provement, and marks of a greater CIV
iliZation is evidenced in the school
rooms for miles around, and in many
counties of the state; in fact, with
the Rosenwald fund in circulation for
school buildings, there have been built
many civic centers for the farm neigh
borhood. These schools have inaugu-
rated an alternate system of work
and study, hence the kitchen, the gar
den, barnyard and home are the annex
to the schoolhouse, and here the
teacher lives.
There were many white guests for
this occasion, among them Doctor
Hyde of Auburn, who gave a most
helpful lecture on sanitary conditions
in farm homes. and also in towns and
cities. and told of the danger to health
of the fly. He told of the danger
to children, especially, and the death
rate of 5000 children under two years
old In the last IL months, he thought
traceable to insanitary treatment.
Also OF the 1000 cases of tuberculosis,
of typhoid fever, and of pellagra, and
the enormous death rate from pre-
ventable diseases.
Doctor Holberger of the United
States Marine hospital service told
of the cause and treatment of pella-
gra- One statement he made will set
many minds at ease. He says it is mo
more contagious than an ingrowing
toe nail" Also he stated that it was
more a condition from lack of prop
er food and that the disease had never
been cured by medicine. After close
study of conditions and scientific
analysis, he finds a diet of simple food
and plenty of it, composed especially
of good, lean meat, peas, cornbread.
with plenty of milk taken regularly
will cure almost invariably any case.
OF course, sanitary conditions make
conditions worse or better.
These two lectures were delivered
in such simple language, yet were so
forceful. that every man and woman
present received a valuable lesson. If
nothing more had been said, they were
worth the cost of transportation. These
diseases are very prevalent among the
Negroes.
The schools. the industries, the lee
lures were all full of interest, but
there was great human interest on
my mind-that is, how closely these
students were linked with the history
of a wonderful past. They are the
descendants of old colored families we
have, many, known before, and
among the teachers many were from
Virginia and the Carolinas who have
been in touch with the old families
and their traditions.

Washington, April 20.-Presidcnt
Wilson's final warning to Germany
that the United States will break Off
diplomatic relations unless she abal
dons her present methods of subma-
rine warfare, and Immediately de-
clares her intention to do so, was de-
livered in note to Berlin, and also
was announced by the President in
an address to joint session of Con
gress. The President considers that
the next step depends solely upon Ger
many, and that three or four days
constitute a reasonable time for re
ply. Diplomatic history records only
one instance whore a breaking of re
lations between two first-class powers
has not brought war--that which now
exists between Germany and Italy.
Congress received the PresIaent's
declaration of his course with mixed
evidences of concern and appreciation.
Most of the leaders, Democrat and Re-
publican, thought the President hardly
could do less, and some expressed the
opinion that his action would not lead
to war. Republican Leader Mann

openly attacked the President for his
stand.
Bernstorff Cables Berlin.
Count Won Bernstorff, the German

have advised his government that he
believed the United States meant just
what IL said IN its submarine note
and that something would have to be
done quickly If friendly relations were
to continue.
The press of America is divided il
it's opinion of President Wilson's ad
dress to Congress, explaining the ulti
matum to Germany. Some view it a!
solely due to the Presidents alleged
pro-British sympathy, while Others
see in it the logical conclusion o

tries and their colonies. reasonable rates
for nations now neutral and very high
rates against the countries now hostile
to the Allies.

to be considered are
A general understanding concerning

tracts, sequestration of goods, the re-
covery of credits. AZ, which Is intended
