MILITARY DRILL

School of Instruction to Be Held
Every Tuesday Night-Appeals
to Men to Get Out.

Sergeant James A. TooIey, Negro,
who is at present stationed at the
Nelie truck works in Moline, has
announced his intention OF drilling
Negroes in the tri-cities who are
subject to the selective draft.
Sergeant Tooley will hold a
school of instruction in drilling
every Tuesday night at the Armory
hall in this city. He has issued an
appeal through the press to have
every man of his race who is sub
ject to call, to attend these drills.
Sergeant Tooley was prompted
purely by patriotic motives in TAX
ing up this work and his services
are to be be given gratis. Any
training the Negro selectives might
obtain before going to camp will
prove invaluable to them and place
them in position for rapid advance
ments.
Competent Instructor.
Sergeant Tooley is member of
a squad of Negro selectives who
have been in service for some time
and who are receiving technical
training at the Velie plant in Mo-
line to fit themselves for the motor
service. Sergeant Tooley has been
advanced rapidly in the service and
will prove a competent instructor.
Every Negro in the tri-cities subject
to the draft should avail himself of
this opportunity

SUGAR REGULATIONS REVISED

Nashville, Tenn, Oct. 31.-Dr. H.
A. Morgan, state food administrator,
issues the following revision of the
sugar regulations:
"The rapid manufacture Of the new
crop of beet sugar in the west and
new crop of Louisiana cane sugar in
the south, together with the freer
railroad transportation conditions,
the reductions that we have made in
the consumption Of sugar in the man
ufacture trades, and the patriotic
conservation ia the past four months
enables us to increase the household
allowances of sugar from two pounds
per person per month to three pounds
per person per month, with the same
ratio to public eating places as from
November /
"Ims makes good our promise to
increase the household allowance of
sugar at the earliest possible mo-
ment that our supplies would justify
and make it possible for the house
holder to more freely use the apple,
cranberry and grapefruit products, and
to use the fruits canned during the
summer without sugar
The regulations are also revised
to the extent that any person can
purchase his whole monthly allowance
at one time if he so desires. That
is, any family can purchase a months
supply for the entire family in one
purchase from the retail trades,
The additional November sugar to
hotels and retailers will be included
in the December allotments, which
will be completed about November

N the long list Of human ills there

results than disordered stomach.

fatal disease to attack your system.
Stomach trouble manifests its pres

there is depression, anxiety despon-
eency, dizziness, headache, cramps,

TERRITORY NOW OPEN FOR AT.
TACK ON GERMANY
In9 Arv Of Teutonic Nation Forced
to Accept Terms Of Allied Armis-
tice-Munitions and Naval Power
Are Surrendered.


Washington, Nov e. Austria
Hungary, the last and most powerful
ally of Germany, passed out Of the
world war today under terms Of alb
ject surrender
Not only have the armed forces of
the once powerful Austro-Hungarian
empire laid down their arms to
await the end of the war and peace
terms dictated by the allies and the
United States, but Austro-Hungarian
territory is open for operations
against Germany Even the NUM-
tions Of that former ally are to be
used against the kaisers armies if
refusal to accept conditions now be-
ing prepared for them make pro-
longod fighting necessary.
The terms which stopped the VIC
torious advance on the Italian front
were accepted by the Austrian com
mander-in-ehief in the field in the
rane of the Vienna government, and
their execution is guaranteed by the
thorough beating alreadv admins
tered which he'd converted the de-
feated army into disorganized,
fleeing horde
Even the terms imposed previously
upon Bulgaria and Turkey hardly
were SO drastic. In addition to all
of the military precautions, the Aus
TRANS are compelled to retire from
a wide strip Of territory within the
borders Of their empire when the
war began, surrendering all Of Ital-
ia lrridentia and thereby losing any
advantage for argument over boun-
daries aropnd a peace table
"A map survey Of the geographical
lines fixed for Austrian evacuation
shows that the area is even greater
than that set by the Italians as the
goal of their ambition when they en-
tered the war At that time the ltal-
ian leaders carefully outlined and
indicated on their war maps the ter
rtory along their borders which they
deemed it necessary that they ac-
ouire fer racial and sentimental rea-
sons and also to insure the security
of their frontiers
In decreeing Austria's surrender
terms, the supreme war council at
Versailles has followed this outline
but have enlarged upon it
10 some extent. The right Of occupa-
tion Of these vacated provinces is
but it is to be noted that
for the time being civil government
il to be administered by the exist
inc local civil authorities in cooper
alton with the occupying garrisons,
This means that the whole question
Of final disposition of the territory
involved is left to be settled at the
peace table.
italian military officers were thrill
ed with pride tonight over the evil
dence of final victory contained in
the armistiee programme.

WOMEN ORGANIZED FOR
WAR WORK Campaign

Every MDAANAl IA ANtiiAGhnEEf htlANNEA
such organizations as the Federation
Of Women's Clubs, church societies,
Council Of National Defense, U. d. c.,
y. A. R., women's leagues, teachers
associations, business women's clubs,
women's lodges and all other organ
izations of women and girls, is being
lined up by the w0man's committee
of the United War Work campaign,
to help put over the great campaign
of the seven welfare organizations
authorized bv the government to aid
in sustaining the morale Of the fight
io~ forces. The department Of ag-
riculture has enlisted its farm agen-
cles over the state, and experts de
recting the work Of women in canning
clubs, corn clubs, poultry clubs and
home economics will give their SER
vices the week Of the drive. This
agency the campaign counts upon, as
enc Of the most direct and valuable
aids in reaching the women and girls
Of the rural communities.
Women Representatives of the Y. M.
G. A., Y. W. c. A.. National Cath
Ollie War Council, War Camp Com
munity Service, American Library
Association. Jewish Welfare Board
and Salvation Army, have completed
organizations in each of the 96 coun-
ties of the state, parallel to the or
ganization of the men, using as a
basis Of organization the campaign
organization already set up BY the
Young Womens Christian Associa-
tion, augmented by the appointment
of such additional women as may be
necessary to represent the various
groups Mrs. Arch Trawick, of Nash
Vile, heads the women's division for
the state. The Y. w. G. a. was
chosen ais the leader for the women
of the country because it is the only
one eff the seven organizations which
is distinctly a woman's organization
The general united War Work
campaign committee has recognized
the work of the women Of the nation
as of direct military value in the
winning Of the war. The task Of
caring for the women and girls who,
because the men have gone to war,
must do a mans work in places of
great responsibility and hazard, has
been entrusted TO the Y w. c. A. by
the government. The girls Of the
nation are working under great strain
of both body and mind. They must
be at their best to back the men at
the front They, lis well as the men
in uniform, need protection, good
cheer, good health and vitality Of
spirit.
1t is to see that America does not
lose military efficiency through neg
lect Of it army Of women workers,
as did England and France in the
early years of the war, that the Y.
W. G. A. has undertaken this great
program which calls for the expen-
diture of $15.000,000. Women today
are INDISPENSABLE to military success,
for it is the women and girls who are
clothing, gas masks and mu-
nitions for the men in khaki and
blue.
The Y. w. c. A. program includes
all women affected BY the war:
girls in munitions centers here in
America; girls in French powder
works; mothers and sweethearts of
soldiers in the camps; women war
workers abroad; Red Cross nurses
in American base hospitals, as well
rs the rank and file Of self-support-
ing women at home.
