Catholic Rectory Damaged
By Fire

The south wing Of the Catholic
Rectory was considerably dam
aged by fire Friday afternoon
about 400 o'clock. The loss
from fire and water damage to
the house and to the library and
furniture 0 fthe house, amounted
to about 100000 covered partly
by insurance. The Rectory is
| occupied by Father Souby, his
sister Mrs. Bertin and family.
The fire resulted from a defec-
tive flu, and had spread to that
portion Of the building between
the ceiling and roof along the
south side of the building above
the bed room, library and bath
f6m occupied by Father Souby.
" Father Souby's library was
probably the finest of it's kind
In St. Mary Parish. Many Of the
books were saved without dam
ace, but a number of very fine
yolumns were water soaked and
damaged to a considerable de-
gree.
The fire was confined to that
portion Of the building, but the
large amount of water which
fire department was forced to
use to extinguish the flames,
caused more or less damage to
tie entire building.

uatulate herself upon the eff

REVEAL KASER'S EFFORTS TO
ESCAPE BLAME FOR THE WAR

COPENHAGEN, Dec. 2. (By The AS
ISOLATED Press)-Further revelations
showing that former Emperor William
OF Germany Is seeking to escape re-
~sponsihility for bringing on the war
are contained in an article by Or. Geo.
Megener, appearing in the Cologne Ga
zette, recounting a conversation with
me emperor just before he fled. In
this interview the emperor attempted
70 shift the blame for the war to DR..
Theobald Won Bethmann-Hollweg, for
mel imperial chancellor, and Gottlieb
Won Jagow, former minister Of foreign
affairs.

Norway" William is quoted as hav-
ing said. II did not wish to undertake
the voyage because the gravity of the
situation of the murder of Archduke
Frencis Ferdinand was clear at first
sight. But the chancellor said to me;

order to maintain peace. II your maj
esty remains here, 1t undoubtedly means

charge responsibility for this war

have been possible for them to do so
The emperor then mentioned declara-
tons Of Gen. w. A. Soukhomlinoff. Rus
sian minister Of war, during the inves-
legations which occurred afterward
which he later altered to the state
ment that he had not ordered real
mobilization, but only readiness for
mobilization. The emperor, however,
insisted on the correctness Of the first
declaration, according to which the car
had been induced by the kaiser TO recall
his order for mobilization. He declared
that Gen, Nicholas Januschkevitch,
chief of the Russian imperial staff, de-
ceiVed the car and the order was car
ried out in spite OF him. This mobiitza-

final reason for the a

the kaiser continued, had already in

make preparations for war. From that
time Siberian regiments were gradually
drawn westward. They were told that
maneuvers were the reason for these
movements, and thus they marched on
to the Volga river and farther estward
until they reached Wilma, where they
were suddenly handed out loaded cart
ridges and told that they were now
going to fight in earnest.

the interview, Russian troops were al

TEXAS PHYSICIAN.
DECLARES TANLAC
IS WITHOUT EQUAL
Says It's Best ReCOnStruCtive
Tonic To Be Had for Build
ing Up influenza Patients.

The following letter from DR.. J.. W.
Sandlin, one Of the most prominent
physicians Of southern Texas, has just
been received at the Tanlac office and
gives ~indisputable evidence as to the
value OF Tanlac as a reconstructive
tonic for persons who are re~cuperating
from the after effects Of Spanish influ-
enza. His letter follows:
Humble, Texas, Nov. 5, 1918.
Dear Sir-Just a few lines in ref
erence to Tanlac. 1 have found your
preparation to be a wonderful recon
structive tonic, and in my opinion it
has no equal in its line. | have found
it to be the best tonic to be had to
build up my patients who a had
Spanish influenza I have treated
within the past month about 1,400
cases, and have never been able to get
sufficient Tanlac to supply our people.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) "DR. ]. W. SANDLIN."
DR.. Sandlln not only enjoys a very
large practice as a physician, but he,
is also a man of wide influence and
ranks as a leading citizen of the en-
terprising little city of Humble, Texas.
As a practicing physician Of sixteen
years experience, DR.. Sandlin was
quick to recognize the superior tonic
properties of Tanlac over other m
dies and unhesitatingly and voluntarily
gave Tanlac his unqualified indorse-
ment.
Although the influenza epidemic has
greatly subsidized it is still prevalent,
and i~sNbreaking out anew in many sec
lions of the country, n continues to
claim its victims by the thousands.
Persons who have had influenza are
oftentimes left in a very weakened,
rundown condition, and unless the
greatest care is taken, both as to habits
and diet, serious complications are apt
to fellow. Persons who ave had it are
more apt han ever to have it the sec
ond time. If you are in this condition
strengthen you like Tanlac, which con-
tains the most powerful tonic properties
known to science.
As a reeonstructive tonic and body
builder it is without an equal n con-
tains the very elements needed by the
system to restore you to your normal
strength and weight.
First of all Tanlac begins its action
by creating a good, healthy appetite for
wholesome, nourishing food, and assists
the vital organs, which have been weak
ened by the disease, to perform their
natural functions, thus helping to build
up health and strength in he natural
way.
This statement is easily proven by
the fact that Tanlac Is now having the
greatest sale Of any system tonic in
the history Of medicine. In less than
four years time over ten million bot
ties have been sold and the demand is
constantly increasing.
In connection with the Tanlac treat
ment it is necessary to keep the bowels
open by taking Tanlac Laxative Tab
let's, samples Of which are included
with every bottle of Tanlac.
Tanlac Is sold in Memphis exclusive
ly by Weiss Pharmacy Successors to
Jacobs Pharmacy corner Main street
and Union avenue, and WarnocK drug
store, in Gayoso hotel block. adv

all German establishments and the mob

systematic destruction. A department
store owned by a HOllandcr was
wrecked and he reported his loss to
his government. He was the only for
eiEner other than Germans whose prop
ertyl was attacked.
The anti-Gcrman spirit was super
seeded by ordinary mob enthusiasm and
the destruction finally was extended to
the shops Of ~LuXemburgers themselves.
Two American licutcnants who ar
rived while the campaign OF dcstruC-
ton was at its height called upon four
enlisted men to arm themselves with
broken boards and dispense the crowd.
The soldiers shouted to the excited
men and women to 20 their homes,
and they dispersed quickly, accepting
the command without question.

Use Waste Lands.

II particularly direct your attention
to the very practical plans which the
secretary OF the interior has developed
In his annual report and before your
committees for the reclamation OF arid,
swamp and Cutover lands, which might,
if the states were willing and able to
cooperate, redeem some 300, 600, 600
acres of land for cultivation. There are
said to be $1,000, 900 or 20, 1000, 600 acres
of land in the West, at present arid,
for whose reclamation water Is avail
able, If properly conserved. There are
about 800, 600. 900 acres from which the
forests lave been cut, which have new
err yet been cleared for the plow, and
which lie waste and desolate. These
lie scattered all over the Union. There
are nearly so, 900, 900 acres of alnd that
lie under swamps or subject to period
but grazing, which 1t is perfectly FEAST
BILE to drain and protect and redeem.
The congress can at once direct thou
sands of the returning soldiers to the
reclamation of the arid lands which 1t
has already undertaken, if 1t will but
enlarge the plans and the appropria-
lions which it has intrusted to the de-
partment Of the interior. 1t is pos
sible in dealing with our unused lam
to effect a great rural and agricultural
development which will afford the best
sort of opportunity to men who want
to help themselves; n the secretary
Of the interior has thought the possible
methods out in a way which is worthy
Of your most friendly attention.
II have spoken Of the control which
must yet for a while. perhaps for a
long while, be exercised over shipping
because of the priority of service to
which our forces overseas are entitled
and which should also be accorded he
shipments which are to save recently
liberated peoples from starvation and
many devastated regions from perma-
nent ruin. May l not say n special word
about the needs of Belgium and North
ern France? No sums Of money paid
by way of indemnity will serve of
themselves to save them from hope
less disadvantage for years to come.
