WAR BETWEEN PERU
AND CHILL UNLESS
POWERS INTERVENE
Armies Being Modified by Both the
Countries
Especial to The Tribune)

Washington, Dec. 18.-War on the
South American west coast is inevi-
table unless the United States or con-
certed powers intervene in the Peru
Chile dispute, according to Latin-Am-
erican diplomats here today.
Latest advices from Lima and San
tiago verified reports of mobilization
at both capitals. Both the Chilean
embassy and the Peruvian legation ad-
mitted that undoubtedly crisis was
at hand.
The most serious aspect in the opin-
ion of diplomats was the evidence that
attempts are being made to form alli-
ances that in the event that 6hostili-
ties might throw the entire continent
into war
Dispatches announcing the recall Of
the Brazilian minister to Peru were
held to be without logical foundation.
Rumors- mentioned line up Of Bra
zil Bolivia and Peru against Chile,
Argentina and Mexico 1t was also
suggested by Latin-American diplo-
mats that Bolivia and Argentina might
stand by Peru against Chile, owing to
Chile's admitted military and naval
superiority.
The Peruvians contend that "Presi-
dent Wilson's statements in the mat
ter of self-determination of peoples
gives her feeling Of perfect conf
dence in the early realization of JUS
tice," and that "the United States will
not demand justice in middle Europe

FIFTY PER CENT OF
CHILDREN Of j. 5. ARE
PHYSICALLY DEFICIENT
Especial to The Tribune)

Chicago, Dec. 19.-Fifty per cent Of
the 25,000.OOO boys and girls of school
age have physical defects that impede
normal development, Willard S. Small
school hygiene specialist of the fed
eral bureau of education, said in an
address today before the American
Public Health association.
After declaring that the nations
need Of physical education" is i'm
perative, the speaker pointed out that
100000 men in the first draft were
disqualified for active military ser
vice because of physical defects and
added:
Being unfit for military service
they were therefore unfit to render
full service in any capacity. They were
unable to get full returns from life
in work and happiness"
The physical education needed must
assume physical activity as the basic
thing the speaker added. There must
be wholesome physical environment,
individual physical examination and
record. and medical supervision Of
schools.
st should provide for all persons
between and 1S years of age. 1t
should extend its benefits to youth
above the compulsory school age. II
should provide federal aid to permit
states to carry on effective systems
Of physical education. This federal
aid should be limited to preparation
of teachers for skilled service and pay
nent for skilled service.
"The program proposed will raise
the positive co-efficient Of the physi-
cal life OF the nation. 1t will build
morality upon the solid foundation Of
physical soundness and vitality. 1t
will be a powerful influence in Ameri-
canization."

PEOPLE WARNED THAT
INFLUENZA IS NOT
YET UNDER CONTROL
Especial to The Tribune)

Washington, Dec. 19.-Warning to
the country that the influenza epi-
demic is by no means ended and that
all possible precautions against the
disease should be taken, was issued
tonight by Surgeon General Blue Of
the public health service.
Reports received by the service show
a recrudescense Of the diseace prac-
tically from one end Of the country
to the other and in his statement DR..
Blue advised the closing Of the pub
lie schools on the first sign of the re-
appearance of the epidemic. He said
the disease apparently now tended to
occur more frequently among school
children.
Our main reliance" DR.. Blue said,
must still be the observance Of pre-
cautions by the individual person. He
should cover up his coughs and
sneezes and insist that others do the
same"

The Scolding Father
(contributeo)

A very intelligent youth once said
to me: III there is anything that
comes between God and me, 1t will be
papa. He is so unreasonable, so harsh
and cruel. He keeps the whole family
unhappy. He often bulldozes and
threatens where he afterward finds
himself entirely at fault"
This father is a noble Christian
man. But there Is no doubt that he
needs to take away this little fox that
spoils his vines, this ny that spoils
his ointment Will he?
Oh, that we might be childlike and
learn! Il am meek and lowly Of
heart" said the Savior. Sometimes
sternness is necessary to maintain
discipline; but it is still true that "the
soft tongue breaketh the bones"
"a soft answer turneth away
wrath" We all know that it does.
Theb oast has got many a person into
trouble. The hard word has been re-
membered and brought a hard time
and turned away favors. ~

THE NIGHT BEFORE PEACE

Twas the night before peace in No
Mans Land, the Americans gained the
uper hand of the beastly Hun, with
saber and guns; twas the work Of
Americas Brave Black Sons.
The Germans were tucked all snug
in their trench, but they were discov-
cred by the brave little French. The
Germans had stopped in long wood
ed spot, and we had mounted our guns
for long range shot. Then we were
in ambush so lively and quick, it made
the old kaiser deathly sick. He was
so sure of conquering the world, but
when he looked up our flag was un-
furled.
Let's give thanks to God that Ger
many lost, and donate our money to
the Faithful Red Cross.

racy, let us ask our white friends of
the United States is it safe for the
colored man. When the call to arms
was sounded no man proved truer
friend to his country than did the col
ored man. A race pushed to the wall
to make room for strangers, hearing
the call of war, stepped out. willing
and ready to die for the flag, and yet
they are the only victims of the tyr
amy that lives under its Stars and
Stripes. Now that the war is over let
our white friends remember that none
carried themselves more like soldiers
or died more like men than did the
American black soldiers. In wartime
the white men calls the race man
fellow citizen" Now that the bloody
business is over. will he treat the
black man as a fellow citizen" al
lowing him to go anywhere his money

Editor Of the Omaha Daily News
Declares Negroes Americans Now;
Always Were and Always Will Be
(Omaha Daily News)

There are two words in common
use in our language that should pass
out of use forever with this war. They
are "nigger" and "wop" The first
has been used to describe Americans
citizens of African descent. The sec
ond has come to this country from
foreign lands, where the language
spoken is not the English language.
Both words have been used as ex-
pressive of derision and contempt
There never was good reason or ex-
cuse for those words. There is now
every reason why they should never
again be heard from American lips.
The "nigger" and the "wop" have
splendidly heroically attested their
place in the ranks of American citi-
zenship. In Omaha, of all places in
the United States, where democracy
and equal rights for all are so well
understood, that old unworthy slur
and distinction should be buried deep
and forever.
We should recall and consider and
never by any chance forget what the
negro, the colored American citizen
of African descent, has done in this
war on the European battlefield.
where his record as a fighting man is
a blaze of glory
We should recall-and how can we
ever forget i?t-the patriotism of the.
Czechs and of the Polish race in
America, first to the front in every
patriotic movement, regardless of
creed. race or politics; first to the
fighting front under the Stars and
Stripes to die for America, for free
Bohemia and for free Poland.
We must remember the Germans,
Greeks, Italians, Jews, from foreign
lands, Syrians, Swiss, Bulgarians, Slo-
vaks, Slavs-men of a score Of nation
alities-who pressed forward on the
first enlistment and first registration
days that they might be counted
ollOh5 NDOnC MAO OAASAC OchAlA might
use in his hour Of need and of great
ness. We must remember how su-
perbly they answered the call.
So let those who had the good for
tune to be born in this country be
just and fair to those who had the
liberty-longing and enterprise to come
. here. Wipe out those two words.
"nigger" and 'wop," and their kindred
words Of scorn and derision, now and
forever. Americans all and Americans
always!
We have been pretty sore at the
News for something it has published
in the past, but if it lives up to this
sentiment, we forgive and forget

A Word About The ''Flu''

There are two ways by which spread
of the "flu" may be avoided: Vac
cination and wearing Of gauze masks.

ed as quickly as possible, and your
chances of not taking "flu" will be
about ten to one.
When your doctor begins to tell you

tive control the German colonies in
frica for national organization by
those now there and by other negroes
who may wish TO live under govern
ment by and of their race in the old
African land.
The transport Orizaba, bringing an
advance guard to the Paris peace con-
ference, arrived here on Monday, af-
ter an uneventful voyage Of eight
days. In addition to fifty representa-.
tives Of the American newspapers, the
ship had as passengers delegation
of negroes, commissioned to urge the
claims Of the race OF the conference.
The delegation includes w. E. B. pu
Bois. editor of the Crisis. and Dr. r.
r. Motion, head of the Tuskegee Insti-
tute.
House Has the Memorial
A memorial has already been sub
mitted to Col House 1t urges the
peace conference to extend the prin-
ciple Of democracy to the negro race
by recognizing the right of the race to
self-government under the "self-de-
termination" clause of President VIII
sons peace terms.
The memorial points out that the
transfer of the German colonies in
Africa to the control of other nations
would retard the progress Of the ne
gro race, whereas the application OF
the self determination principle would
result In the advancement Of the race.
There is a general plan which con-
templates an agreement among the
belligerents to set aside not only the
African colonies under previous Ger
man rule, but also those now gov
erned by the French and Portuguese.
and also the Independent African
states, and to make of these lands
an African union, for the reorganiza-
tion of a government by native ne
groes and by the negroes who may
elect to emigrate and attach them
selves to the proposed democracy.
One point the memorial emphasizes
|
is that II German Africa were taken
from one imperial master, even
though a bad one, In order to pass II
over to another, though better one.
that act would inevitably rouse sus-
picion of selfish aims on the part OF
the allies, and would leave open grave
questions concerning the future OF
colonial possessions and government.
The conference will be urged to
commemorate the three hundredth
anniversary of the landing Of the ne
gro in America. in August, 1919, by
encouraging the present movement to
hand Africa over to the Africans.
Aims Of the British labor party for
the extension of the right Of self-gov-
ernment and for protection under or
ganized conditions are indorsed In the
