Parish Treasures Statement and Sum-
mary of Finances.


To the President and Members of thu
Police Jury Of Grant Parish:
The statement attached shows the
amount paid out of the general fund te
Sept. 8, 1918, on the several budget
funds, aggregating S29, 955. 25.
Of this amount, $29, 955.25, the
amount chargeable to taxes of 1918 is
$22, 21S.79.
My estimate is that $500 will meet
the expense to cover settlements OF
October meeting.
1t is also estimated that in addition
it will require Sill, 900 to pay off all ac-
counts to Dec. 81, 1918.
These estimates mean that the total
disbursement out of general fund fol
the year 1918 will amount to S44, 455. 25.
The amount chargeable to taxes OF
1918 will be $50, 1879.
The budget for 1918, aside from item
public schools, amounts to $32, 10000. +
The statement that SIC, 7l3. IS will be
chargeable to taxes of 1918, and the
succeeding statement that the 1915
budget provides for S32, 900, will create
the impression that the outgo will ex.
coed the income.
1t is necessary to explain that as q
matter of convenience the sums paid
out on sheriff's salary are charged
against the general fund and carried
as if on the budget, when in fact it is
not included in the budget. That &C.
count will at the end be cancelled by
funds that are not part of the taxes
of 1918 as budgeted, but the commits
sions on collections for the State, the
schools, etc.
1t is evident the funds for general
expenses 1.-THE general fund.- of the
parish will be no more than equal to
the expenses of the year. The ex-
penses and the revenues to meet same
are approximately equal according to
the estimates above stated.
l suggest that the president be au-
thorized to arrange with the bank for
loan of $4,000 to protect payments IN
til Dec. l, 1918.
Respectfully,
R. S. CAMERON,
Treasurer of Grant Parish.

Keep your feet dry and warm

If you need a laxative, take it.

Questionaires to Be Sent Women Quail
flied for Nursing.


Washington, Oct. 5.-A nation
wide survey of the country's
nursing resources is now being
made by a Red Cross worker
throughout the United States
and has been extended to all our
foreign possessions, according to
an announcement made to-day
by the American Red Cross War
Council. Work at these places
will be done by women attached
to the fourteenth division of the
Red Cross, which not only in
cludes all our territories and in
sular possessions, but directs
American Red Cross activities of
ali colonies of Americans in the
most distant parts of the world.
Under this plan it is hoped to
record every American woman
capable of nursing or assisting
in sickrooms. The survey is be-
ing made at the request of Sec
rotary of War Baker and Surgeon
General Gorgas of the army, its
purpose being to get definite in
formation regarding the number
of nurses which may be with
drawn for war service without
endangering civilian needs of the
country. The necessity for hav-
ing such information available is
emphasized by the present cpl
demic of Spanish influenza. Some
communities where the complaint
is prevalent are said to be short
of nurses.
American Red Cross workers
connected with three thousand
five hundred chapters of the or
ganization are distributing ques-
tionaires which nurses are to fill
out. The survey is to take in
every class of nurse, graduate, |
pupil, practical women who have |
taken the American Red Cross |
nursing courses, midwives and |
hospital attendants.

Germany Makes a Peace Proposal.

Germany Makes Peace Proposal.
On Oct. 6, through the govern
ment of Sitzerland, Macmillan,
Prince of Baden, the new impe-
rial chancellor of Germany, adj
dressed a note to the president
of the United States, saying that
the German government requests
that the president take steps for
the restoration of peace; that the
German government accepts as
a basis for negotiations" the pro-
gram laid down by the president
in his message to Congress, and
particularly in his address of Sep
TENDER 81; and that in order to
bring about the immediate con-
clusiOn the German government
requests an armistice on land, on
water and in the air.
Before making reply to this re-
quest President Wilson said he
deemed it necessary to assure
himself of the exact meaning of
the chancellor. Continuing the
president speaks as follows:
docs the imperial chancellor
mean that the imperial German
government accepts the terms
laid down by the president in his
address to the congress of the
United States on the 9Th of June.
last, and in subsequent address,
es. or that its object in entering
into discussions would be only to
agree upon the practical details
of their application?
"The president feels bound to
say with regard to the sugges-
ton of an armistice that he
would not feel at liberty to pro-
pose a cessation of arms to the
governments with whom the Uni
ted States is associated against
the Central Powers so long as the
armies of those powers are upon
their soil. The good faith of any
discussion would manifestly de-
pend upon the consent of the Gen.
trial Powers Immediately to with
draw their forces everywhere
from invaded territory.
The president also feels that
he is justified in asking whether
the imperial chancellor is speak
ing merely for the constituted
authorities of the empire who
have so far conducted the war?|
He deems the answers to these
questions vital from every point
of view"
The presidents caustic and po-
lite method of treating the Kais-
er's note is regarded by diplo-
mats and statesmen as a master
stroke of policy, whether the
German proposal is a sincere de-
sire for peace, or merely a pre-
tension and subterfuge to gain
time to recuperate and reform
his badly battered armies. If he
is sincere the way to peace is
open and plain, if he is not then
his hypocrisy is shown to the
German people as it is already
known to the world at large.
