WHY GERMANY TURNS HER
BACK ON AMERICA.

London, Oct. I'm discussing
the entry Of the United States
into the war, Viscount Grey,
former foreign secretary, in a
preface to a collection Of war
statements by President Wilson
published in a pamphlet here. de-
clares it now is clear that the mil
itary and naval success of German
arms in Europe could not secure
q German peace.
Viscount Grey's remarks are
printed by the Daily News.
Germany, he says, "cannot
get peace = except on
conditions that the United States
may consider essential to it's own
interests and to the future peace
and freedom Of the world. It is
impossible to get around this fact
that it is not surprising that Ger
many dare not face it. and turns
her back upon it that she may
not face it, for that is what the
organized silence and contempt
in Germany Of the action in the
United States really means.

This may prove surprise to
a good many who drive machines

law. The time has come when
the man in the machine must be
made to realize that the man on

pedestrian and not the automo-
biel driver who has the right-of-
way on the highway. 1T is an old
rule of the road at sea that the
slower vessel has the right-of-
way. The fast steamer must Get
out the bay scow. The principle
prevails on land. Too often the
motorists foot their horns and go
flying by corner. They seem
to think that it is only necessary
to sound the warning to make
men and women take to the side
walks. The streets and the roads
belongs the people and not to the
motorists alone. Let the judges

1920 negro troops which the

ACCEPTING MARRIED MEN
MEETS WITH FAVOR.

Baton Rouge, La, Oct. 2.-Ad
jutant General McCreory had q
conference with w. II. Brynes
and Mr.. Carpenter, of District ex.
'mption board No. l, Of New Or
leans, who presented to the ad-
jutant general the views enter
tanned on the question of de-
pendents.
Mr.. Brynes presented the view
which he had, and argued at
length for his position, that where
a man was married he should be
exempt unless his income was
such that his wife is not depend
ent upon the husband for sup
port. Mr.. Carpenter presented
the majority view to the board,
that where no hardship was ere
ated the man should be sent to
the army. Adjutant General Nc
Crory insisted that each depend
ent case should be decided solely
ON it's merits, in the light of the
rulings Of the provost marshal.
The Standard Oil Company has
appealed to the President the
cases of Marion L. Beckner, Joe
Sanchez and M. Beauregard, en-
ployes of that company who
claimed exemption before the
district board lon the grounds
that the men were essential to
the Standard Oil refinery, their
claim being denied. The case is
now appealed to the President
from the decision Of the district
board. The district board has
adjourned to Oct. s.
Forty-three requests from in
dividuals to reopen cases where
they have been assigned to army
duty by local boards have been
received by Adjutant General Nc
Creory.
Affidavits must be presented
to the adjutant general giving
substantial facts for requesting
the local boards to reopen the
case, before he will act. From
communications received it is
apparent that the local boards
have as a rule decided not to re-
open cases on their own motion,
but to only reopen them on the
request of the adjutant general.

THEN AND NOW.

Dan G. Idol. editor of the Bel
ton Herald, recently made the fol
lowing interesting and authentic
comparison of prices that coun
try newspapers are now wrestling
with to keep their heads above
water:
"Twenty-fve years ago a cord
of wood would pay a years sub
scription to the Herald; now j,
only requires quarter of a cord
Then a bushel and a half of wheat
would pay the bill; now only a
half bushel is required. Then six
bushels of corn was the price, now
one bushel is gladly accepted.
Then, it was twenty pounds of
pork; now four pounds. Then,
twenty dozen eggs would cut the
market; now three dozen are
more than enough. Then il
pulled in eight pounds of butter;
now three pounds are ample.
Then it took five bushels of pota-
toes; now only half a bushel.
Then we got four chickens; now
we oct Only one.
"And then, we bought white
newsprint paper for the Herald
at 1926 per 100 pounds; now we
pay $3.50.
"The high cost of making
buckle and tongue meet is borne
in on the country publishers with
rather perplexing force and eff
feet"
What is true Of the contention
Of the Herald, is also true Of all
country papers; and yet when
we ask ten or fifteen per cent
more than the old price some peo-
pie say we want to gouge them.

A CHAT WITH OUR YOUNG
MEN.

Boys. let us be men. Let us
be honest, earnest, young men,
and we shall then be noble men.
Nobleness and gentleness are not
one and rarely do we find them
living in peace with each other.
We may never be what the world
calls great, but we can all be
noble men. and our nobleness can
commence this very hour and just
where we are. A young mans
first and truest act nobility is to
love, honor and protect his pa
rents. When he becomes too
proud to be seen walking as a
staff to a tottering, hopeless faith
er. or to stand by the bedside of
her who is waiting a moment this
side of the river to catch one
more gaze, through the fading
shadows Of the past, Of her little
boy lost in manhood, he is surely
fast going down the eminence of
manliness.

CLUB o NJ OPPOSE FILM.

Mrs. Edward F. McGehee Of Como
Miss, president of the Mississippi
Federation of Women's Clubs, has
sent the following letter to the club
membership throughout the state:
dear Friends-It has been brought
to my attention in the last few days
! that a mar from New Orleans has
bought the right to present in Mis-
sissippi the photo film called the
Garden of knowledge" This film
has been denounced by Judge Lands
of Chicago as wholly unfit for pre-
s~entation and was suppressed by him.
Judge Lands said, "No board Of zen
sors, unless corrupt, would permit its
exhibition"
IN the interest of pure films l ask
every club woman in the state to use
her influence to have this picture sup
pressed.
"The federation is emphasizing the
Importance of clean motion pictures
as one Of u educational features for
uplift and inspiration to better things.
Will not every true club woman be &C.
tive in the crusade against this evil?
Motion pictures r not of the best
and most impressive mediums Of ed
ucating the public mind; let every
club woman see to it that this med
ium is always of the purest and clean
est, and not such a corrupt thing as
this, that is about to be fostered on
our state. Use every influence against
it. Leave no stone unturned to have
it suppressed.
II am invoking every aid, both Sec
ular and religious.
Sincerely yours,
