about three weeks. The doctor had
reached st. Louis on his way to visit
his folks In the old home town In
Pennsylvania, when taken down
with the "hu," which he thinks he
contracted on the train. He was for
tunate In getting an army surgeon
and doctor to look after him, and re-
covered rapidly. He found on re-
covery, that the scourge was bad In
the East, so concluded to return
home and make his trip some other

There isn't house to be rented In
Meeker at the present time. In q
way, this is . good sign; but 1t is
probable that quite a few Of the new
Corners will be only temporary resi-
dents. Investigation shows that
most of the new Corners are dry
farmers from Mofiat county. They
came here to work on the new
Meeker- Rifle road and other public
work, such as our new Grade School
building. Most Of them are now ut
work with their teams. When they
make stake they may go back to
Moffat county, or-they may stay In

Mai. Gen. Frederic Maurice, the
observer for the New York Times
and Chicago Tribune says:
For the first time in the war We
are combining really effective mill
tary pressure with relentless naval
pressure, which Ia slower and less
snowy In its effects than the victories
Of our armies on land, but has none
the less been certain and terrible In
this war of nations.
The general further observes:
II am confident our men (the
British) who are today fighting the
Germans on the Selle and the Amer
leans who are fighting the Gemans
on the Mouse would not describe the
enemy opposed to them as broken
and dispirited foe incapable Of effec-
tive resistance. There Is very gen.
eral idea abroad that ever since the
second battle of the Marne the Ger
mans have been running away but
this is quite contrary to the fact and
is very unfair to the allied soldiers.
"The Germans have been defeated
in q whole series of fierce battles In
all of which they fought well but In
all they have been outgeneraled and
outfought."

Ready to Sacrifice" The Kaiser

The German papers are feverishly
awaiting the reply of the Allied War
Council to their peace proposals.
One German paper says:
Fears are not concealed that the
Entente conference at Paris will put
forward demands incompatible with
German honor" but the anxiety to
know the exact terms of the asso-
ciated governments puts everything
else In the background.
Anger and shame are bad coun-
sellors," says the Lokal Anzeiger Of
Berlin, which Ia content to leave the
decision to the army leaders. 1t Is q
significant sign of the times that
Prince Lichnowsky's pamphlet,
blaming the German government for
starting the war and saying that
England did everything to avoid it,
has been permitted to reappear in
Germany"
A Copenhagen dispatch to the Ex-
change Telegraph company quotes
Macmillan Harden, the editor OF
Die Zukunft of Berlin, as saying In
AL enterview with the Berlingskf
Tidende of Copenhagen:
I'VE started the war with dirty
trick, and all our subsequent VIC
tories have been the results of dis
honesty. William III. il a film hero
and Germany a vulgar cinemato-
graph show. We sit today on the
ruins Of thirty years Of Hohenzollern
politics."
Emperor William has no intention
Of abdicating, but is willing. II 1t IL
for the good Of the people, to ordain
that his rights shall be reframed, ac-
cording to q abatement attributed to
German court circles. The emperor
Ia said to have remarked:
Il will not abandon my sorely
tried people, but II necessary, l am
ready to become something like
hereditary president Of German re-
public like the kings OF England,
Belgium and Frence."

Tulia has had more sickness than for
many years The "flu" epidemic has
hit this section. and hit hard II is
very seldom that you can find anyone
on the streets Of Tulia who has not
one or more cases in his family
II is hard to estimate the number
that are sufferers from the dreaded
disease, some say 500 or more II
keeps all the well ones busy waiting
on the sick and then there is hardly
sufficient TO give them the care and
attention they should have.
The schools and all public places
were closed last Thursday. and every
precaution Is taken to prevent the
further spread Of the disease.
At this writing. so far as we have
learned. all seem TO be getting along
nicely. and not considered seriously

many cases have you at your home?"
So many are suffering from the
dreaded disease that We haven't the
