WATER VALLEY CELE-
BRATES VICTORY

Early Sunday morning, about 8
o'clock, the slumbering citizens of
Water Valley and surrounding terri
tory were awakened by the blowing
of the whistles of the |. c. shops, To-
comotives, City Power Plant, Yocona
Mills, and all other factory whistles
and ringing of church bells of the
city, heralding the glad tidings of the
signing of the armistice by Germany
The people were overjoyed at the
glad news and the entire day was
practically spent in celebrating the
happy event.
A celebration committee was hasti-
ly organized and a parade was or
ganized and put on in the evening.
The /. c. shop men deserve credit for
the success of the enterprise as the
entire parade was made up from their
efforts alone. Anticipating future
events" the shop men had prepared a
cannon, one they made themselves
from a car steel axle, which they
mounted on float and gave ''it''
the honor position, following Henry's
Band. Several other floats, march
ing torch bearers and decorated au-
tomobiles completed the lineup.
After the parade the shop men took
their cannon to Greener's Hill where
for an hour and a half they fired
volley after volley, which closed the
days celebration.

BRAVERY.

Private Leslie Wilborn son of Mrs,

ported as being not serious.
Mrs. Wilborn received a letter
from the captain of the battery of
which her son is a member, and the
officer assured the mother that her
sons injuries are not serious and
that he felt certain that Leslie would
soon be back with his battery in q
short time. The captain spoke in the
highest terms of praise for the cour-
age, faithfulness and ability of Pvt.
Wilborn and of the high esteem in
which the young soldier was held by
the entire battery. Such words of
love and commendation coming from
the commanding officer of the battery.

heart in her grief for her wounded
son on the far distant battle field,

proven himself hero but he has
measured up to every requirement Of
the highest type Of the American sol

modest little home can rejoice and is

President Wilson's well-meant
endorsement of the movement
known as Zionism has met with
some disapproval among Jewish
Americans. The Rabbis National
Committee of New York, for ex-
ample, urges reconsideration of the
endorsement and concludes: "The
establishment of a Jewish State
would tend to distract our co-relig-
ionists here from perfect and full
allegiance to American citizenship
and obligations"
We may be permitted to doubt
that.
There is no more intensely Am
erican than the full-fedged Jewish
American, no more thorough as
simiator of many distinctively Ameri
can traits than he. -. The "home-
land" of the Jewish American is
right here in the United States,
and the Zionist project is not going
to impair in the slightest degree his
full and perfect allegiance to Ameri-
can citizenship and obligations"
All of which is said with due re-
spect to the gentlemen in New York
who have (very periodically, of
course) memoria1ized the President.

VIENNA UNIVERSITY CLOSED TO
REFUGEES FROM GALICIA.

The authorities of the University Of
Vienna have issued decree to exclude
from it's medical school all students from
Galicia, according to advices received by
the Provisional Zionist Committee.
Although the language of the decree
does not explicitly refer to Jews, the
fact that heretofore only Jewish young
men from Galicia have applied for ad-
mission to the University of Vienna in
dicates the real motive of the decree.
The "Judische Zeitung" of Lemberg
in bitter protest against the decree
of exclusion, states that its object is to
bring into effect in Vienna the boycott
of Jews which was introduced by some
of the German universities before the
war; "This violation of the principle OF
educational freedom" it says, "is fit
ting addition to the daily prosecutions
to which the Jewish refugees are sub!
jected."

Secretary Daniels to be Principal
Speaker at Carnegie Hall Demon
stration Next Sunday Night.
Hon. Josephus S. Daniels, Secre-
tary Of the Navy, will be the princi-
pal speaker at great demonstration
which the Zionist Council of Greater
New York is arranging for Carnegie
Hall, Sunday evening Sept. 10Th, in
celebration of the great victory
achieved by British arms in Palestine.
This meeting will be joint Liberty
Loan and Zionist membership meet
ing. Among the other speakers will
be Judge Julian w. Mack, President
of the Zionist Organization of Ameri
ca, Dr. Stephen S. Wise, Vice-Presi-.
dent, Jacob deHaas, Executive Secre-
tary of the Zionist Organization of
America.
The Zionist Organization of Ameri-
ca announces that the Jewish Legion
is participating actively in the great
Palestinian drive which thus far has
liberated all of Samaria and the great
er part of lower Galilee. It is proba
bic that the American contingent of
the Jewish Legion is taking part in
the present fighting.
The names of the Jewish colonies
north of Jerusalem over which the
Union Jack is triumphantly floating to-
day are:
Kfar- Saba, Chederah, Chefzi-bah,
Kiryath- Sefa, KerKur, Merath,
Zichron- Jaakov (the location of the
Jewish Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton which is subsidized by the Ameri-
can philanthropists), Shefoia, Beth
Sheloma Tantura Atlit, Merchaviya,
Tel-Adas, Mechamieh, Kinnereth,
Jemina, Bedjan, Poria Ramah and
Daganiah, the last three being located
on Lake Kinnereth, which has already
been reached by British Cavalry. The
Liberation of Kfar-Saba is especially
gratifying to the Zionists. Some
three thousand refugees who had
taken flight before Turkish wrath,
were located there and they had been
reduced to eating grass in order to
sustain life. There is fear expressed
among those who know conditions in
Palestine that unless there is a speedy
liberation of Safed, the Jews in that
city will be compelled to suffer severe
