CONGRESSMEN QUIT
TOWN FOR ELECTION

gage for the next two weeks in a
strenuous wind-up OF the Congress
sional campaign.
With practically all public meet
ings barred everywhere on account OF

CAMP WHEELER. Macon. Ca.
Oct. 2O.-Thinking soldier guards
pacing the station platform wear
ing ''fiu" masks were a reception
committee of the Ku-Klux Klan.
! 500 negro seIectmen were given
the fright OF their lives when
they arrived here.
"Ku-Kluxers-" yelled the frst
negro as he landed on the sta
ton platform, and stared into the
gauze-masked face OF a sentry.
Fifteen hundred negroes then
made a scramble for cover. Car
seats were upturned and prayers
were said in countless numbers.
1t was every man for himself.
It took the military authorities
some time to convince the negroes
that the masks were intended to
protect their lives. Some had to
be dragged from their hiding
places before they could be in
duced to go on to camp.

BRAZIL OFFERS ALL
TO DEFEAT KAISER

Brazil-largest Of the South Amer
lean republics-Offers her entire re-
sources to the United States in bring
ing the German government to its
knees in unconditional surrender. In
the peace that is to come Brazil will
continue to offer all in the interests Of
a broader and more vital PHn-Amer-
lea.
These sentiments were expressed by
Brazilian Ambassador Domicio da
Cana upon the occasion Of his depart
ure for Brazil, where he will assume
the post OF foreign minister under
President-el Alves.
Regrets Leaving.
at is needless for me to refer &c
: my regret on leaving Washington
said Ambassador da Cana.
at will be my highest desire to
labor for the maintenance and eN-
tension of the already very happy and
satisfactory relations between the
United States and Brazil.
MY country offers all for victory
that will give the world just and
lasting peace.
"The years cement the traditional
friendship of this great republic and
Brazil American capital and enter
prise are welcome in the development
of possibilities that my land has toI
offer.
'In common with the United States,
we look forward to the broader and
more vital Pan-America that is to
come"
Sees President.
Ambassador da Cana bid formal
farewell to President Wilson Friday
discussing for more than an hour the
international situation and more intl-
mate sentiments concerning Pan
America and the union OF Brazilian
and American interests.
The ambassador has held his post
since June 16. 1911. ranking next to
Ambassador Jusserand OF France in
point of ambassadorial service. He
is the possessor Of medal from Con-
gress for his services at the Niagara
Falls conference on the Mexican
trouble.
The farewell remarks of the ambas-
sador were considered of the utmost
Importance by Latin and entente dip
lomats. At this all-important time,
when German man power is dwind-
ling under the terrific blows of Foch.
Haig, and Pershing, a leading Euro
pean diplomat pointed out the Ger
man people can get little satisfac-
ton In the news that a free land of
$4,000. 900 inhabitants and more than
100000 square miles OF territory, not
only offers but is anxious to contrib
uts all for the final drive across the
Rhine.
Advocates Pan-AmerfcanIsm.
Representative OF the Latin-Ameri-
can republics know the ardor OF the
retiring ambassador for Pan-Ameri-
canism. They are inclined to believe
that the activities of the diplomat in
his new and important post will re-
suit in a great advancement of the
spirit of more potent all-America.
Ambassador da Cana will retain his
diplomatic status as foreign minister.
His successor has not been named. but
several distinguished Braziiians have
been mentioned.
Brazilian naval vessels have pa
trol1ed the South Atlantic since her
entry into the war. Her battleships
have been with the entente Mediter-
ranean feet for nearly a year. She
has sent flying squadrons to France
and MANY Brazilians are serving with
the foreign legion and in the Ameri-
can army.
The republic has had troops in train
ing for several months. The United
States has declined to call for them
40 far, but they remain as an imme-
diately available reserve.
