Reichstag Member Admits Germany Cannot Crush Her Enemies. Scores Pan-Ger-

Amsterdam, Oct. S.-George Goeth- ein progressive member of the Reich stag. is quoted in a Berlin dispatch as having said at a meeting of the Cen tral committee of his party that although the military situation is sat isfa ctory there is no hope of crush ing Germanys enemies on land. As for the submarine campaign, l0Oo,- coo tons of shipping had been sunk, he said, but no disposition toward peace on the part of England was discernable. ration:ng system for foodstuffs had not been even intro duced and no one was able to say when the U-boat would make England more inclined for peace.
 "Americaj cannot be forced to make peace," Herr Goethein continued. We cannot force America to pay a war indemnity. There remains only England. But should we in order to obtain an indemnity of 10000, 100000 rlarke, sacrifice 50,O00OO0,OOO or an other half million men?'
 Germanys allies Herr Goethein sad, are not inclined to continue the var for pan-Ger!1an plans of con quest, but are striving for peace by undel standing and cancellation, while tile pan-German clamor for altncXa- tons is finding bad reception among them He said that tie lcng working hours and insufficient teed- ing at home increased the desire fer pe@ce among the workers and that should continue fer aims of conquest.

The city itemizer. (Water Valley, Miss.) 1894-1918, 1917-12-20

Talk about being unable to meet
the exigencies, what about the
exigencies meeting you? They
are going to meet you sure aud
certain. and you had just as we'll
get ready for the emergency.
We've been right in the middle of
EN- lots of times, and the clouds
were mighty dark and thick. We
hadn't looked a sufficient distance
ahead, and the result was we were
unprepared to meet the approach
of Mr.. Exigency, whose livelihood
is obtained by the precipitation of
an unhappy combination of cir
cumstances.
The city itemizer. (Water Valley, Miss.) 1894-1918, 1917-12-20

there is something ludiorous in the
way foreign men fall upon each
others necks and weep; bat when
strong, seIf.contained man is
touched to tears, there is some
thing terrible in it that makes the
most thoughtless want to turn
aside with uncovered head. Wo-
men have long been accused of
using tears as weapon, but to
know how to weep effectively re-
quires art and discretion. The
woman whose eyes grow CLASSY and
dull, and whose nose gets red, and
whose face grows sodden, never
got anything by crying for ii. But
there are other women who appar-
emily can turn on their tear ducts
at will A few pearly tears course
down their damask cheeks without
giving them damask rose as we'll
Their eyes remain wide open dur
ing tie process, and the man ie
more than mortal who doesn't
think of violets drowned in dew
or quenched by FIRE, or something
of that sort, and suocumb without
further argument. And SO life
goes with laughter and tears, and
we learn TO know that grief some
times masquerade in the motley of
joy, and that we. may find, if we
look, that there is rainbow of
promise spanning every .sar drop
that falls.

A CARD.
o the Citizens of the Fourth
Congressional District Of
Mississippi.

| desire to announce my csndi-
daoy for the Democratic nomjna.
ton for Congress from this the
Fourth Congressional District of
Mississippi, and take this oppor-
tunity to say that I am in entire
sympathy with the policies OF
President Wilson in the admins
tration of the domestic and foreign
affairs of the nation.
Our war flag has been unfurled
and our brave boys called to the
colors to resist insult and protect
our people, in their lives, their
liberty, and in their pursuit of
happiness aud are now fighting by
the side of our brave Allies, in
order that the spirit of liberty that
enlightens the world may not be
crushed and destroyed by the cruel
and am bilious hand of ebsolutism,
I believe that the only adequate
system in selecting an army to win
this great war is the selective draft
system, for it insures strength and
competency in our armed force
and places the burden in careful
ly planned way upon the rich as
we'll as the poor, and does not
permit the unpatriotio to remain
at home while their more patriotic
brothers fight their common cause.
I believe that our people. and
especially our representatives in
Congress should stand solidly with
the administration in this world
war criaia, thus giving strength to
the arm of our great Command.
er-in-Cbief and thus denying 10
the enemy any aid or comfort by
any word or act.
1t is my purpose to make
thorough campaign for this Office
later on. as my official dutiea as
District Attorney will permit.
