SCHOOLS REOPEN,
BUSINESS HUNS,
FLU BAN LIFTED

The city schools opened Monday
morning at the usual hour after be-
ing closed seven weeks on account of
the influenza epidemic The attend
ance was not complete, however, a
considerable number of pupils being
kept at home by parents either be
cause of influenza in their homes, or
because of fear OF infection by asso-
citation in the school rooms The
teaching staffs were on hand, how
eyer, after their long vacation, during
which many of them have been out
of the city. The day was spent in
getting familiar with the new pro-
gram throughout the various grades
whereby it is hoped to complete the
scheduled years work without ex-
tending the term beyond the regular
closing time next spring.
Renewed life was taken on general
ly over the, city with the lifting Of
the closing order. Many shoppers,
who had been deferred from coming
down town by the edidemic, were out
early and the stores enjoyed a greater
retail business than on any Monday
in several weeks. The clearing of
the skies and the bright sunshine,
which followed more than a week of
rainy weather was an added induce
ment for housewives to leave their
homes for uptown.
The moving picture theaters We're
open this afternoon after being 81
lent and closed for many weeks, of
ferins place of amusement for many
a mOvie-hungry youth and maiden
who had been suffering from the
dearth of amusement. [
Sunday, although rainy and cold,
brought good congregations to all of
the churches, which also had been hit
by the closing order
The health authorities believe that
if the public win observe care in
avoiding congested and warm rooms,
and keep their homes or places Of
business properly ventilated, re-
turn of the epidemic is not TO be
feared

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY OF
OCCUPATION IN GERMANY, Sun
day night, Dec. .-(By Courier -
With colors flying and bands playing,
the Third American army crossed
unto Prussia today, advancing II
miles and occupying the historic city
OF TTeves.
las the mighty column of artillery,
machine guns, transport and hospital
units swung past, the Prussians main
tanned an attitude Of mingled cuurioS-
ity and awe, but the fears OF the pop
ulact lessened as the Americans ad-
vanced, and in many villages crowds
came out to hear the band concerts
when the musicians played "The Sta's
and Stripes Forever" or "Over There. +"
The streets of Treves were filled
with crowds whose admiration for the
sturdy doughboys was plainly tvl-
dent Many German soldiers, arm,
less OF legless, stood on the side
walks watching the Americans
swing by.
The Americans crossed the Moselle
and Sauer rivers at dawn. The frozen
roadways of Prussia rang wtta the
tramp of the dougE3CJs hobnail
shoes. There were large Ciowd3 On
the Luxembourg side o he river as
the march began, but the roads and
villages on the Prussian side were
desetred. Teh Germans seemed un-
certain as to what t" do when IT,
Americans crossd onto their soil
and appeared frightened at the mum
ber of troops rollins into Germany
They seemed stunned and melan-
tholy at first, bat later became more
friendly, coming into the roads to get
a closer view of the invading Ameri-
can army.
The first Americans to pass into
Treves were the men of the Sixth In
fantry, regulars, under Colonel Hun.
They reached the public square - l
o'clock.
The Americans entered Germany
In conjunction with other Allied
troops.

HEARING IN AUTO
.SLAYINC IS SET
FOR WEDNESDAY.

Floyd Martin, negro soldier here on
leave of absence from Camp Wheeler,
and Gyles Smith, a local negro taxi
cab driver, who were arrested Satur-
day charged with murder, following
the killing of w. J. Duckworth, of
near Huntington, on North Jackson
street, by striking him with the auto,
were brought before Justice Of the
commitmenttrialse cmfcff
Peace McMath this morning and
their commitment trial set for We'd
nesday morning at 10 O'clock.
Both negroes apparently were deep
Iy sorrowful over the fatal accident.
Smith, who was enormously reported
Sunday as a white man, has spent
much time weeping in his cell at the
county Jail because OF the killing.
Martins leave of absence from Camp
Wheeler expired at noon today, and
he was somewhat worried as to what
would happen to him when he re-
turned there.
Witnesses to the accident say that
Martin, who was driving, was looking
elsewhere than the direction in which
the car was going at the time he hit
Mr.. Duckworth. The car is said TO
have been making d speed of 35 miles
an hour. The commitment was set
for Wednesday because of the neces-
sity of going into the country for one
important witness, and to allow the
negroes time to obtain counsel

He told congress that it is interna-
tional justice we seek, not domestic
safety merely. He declared that the
principles enunciated by him as a
basis of peace, having been accepted
by all the warning nations, he owes
ii to them to see that no false or

on them.
In another portion OF his message,
only less important than the peace
he took up the railroad
problem. saying, 'it would be dis
service alike to the railroad owners
and to the public to return the rail
roads with old conditions unmodi-
fled He asked congress to make an
impartial study of the problem, mean
while allowing the government Oper
alton to continue. He admitted that
he was not certain himself that gov
ernment ownership was the correct
solution of the problem, stating that
he had no confident judgment on the
subject.
The president paid high tribute to
the achievements OF our army and
navy. He also praised the part the
women of the nation have played in
the winning of the war, saying, "the
least tribute we can pay them is 10
make them equals with men in polit-
ical rights, as they have proved
