make permanent conquest. am
confident that the nations that have
learned discipline of freedom and
that have settled with self-posses-
sion to its ordered practice are now
about to make conquest of the world
by the sheer power of example and
of friendly helpfulness.
The peoples who have but just
come out from under the yoke of
arbitrary government and who are
now coming at last into their free
dom will never find the treasures of
liberty they are in search of if they
look for them by the light of the
torch. They will find that every path
way that sstained with the blood
of their own brothers leads to the
wilderness, not to the seat of their
hopes. They are now face to face
with their initial tests. We must hold
the light steady until they find them
selves. And in the meantime, if it
be possible, we must establish a
peace that will justly define their
place among the nations, remove all
fear of their neighbors and of their
former masters, and enable them to
live in security and contentment
when they have set their own affairs
in order. |, for one, do not doubt
their purpose or their capacity.
There are some happy signs that
, theyknow and will choose the way
of self-control and peaceful accom-
mediation. If they do, we shall put
our aid at their disposal in every
way that we can. If they do not, we
must await with patience and SYM
pathy the awakening and recovery
that will assuredly come at last"

new POST OFFICE
BUILDING OPENED

Wednesday morning Clayton cit
izens had to change a habit of
many years standing. They had to
go to the new pOstOffice for their
mail. A great many had to be told
and a great many had to enter the
old building and read the signs
directing them to the new building
before they could or would real
ize the change. But a visit to the
new building is worth the walk ev-
en- if you receive nothing more than
gentle reminder to call and settle.
The new building. is large and
commodiOus and constructed thru
out of flreproof material and is
steam-heated. The furniture is all
steel, with mahogany finish, so real
as to deceive the best Judges of
cabinet woods. Seven hundred lock
boxes besides large number of
lock bins for large business estab-
lishments are provided for The con-
venience of patrons. Everything is
Systematically arranged, permitting
mail matter to be handled easily
and quickly Mrs. Pace and her ef-
ilcient force are greatly pleased
with the new quarters, and declare
their intention to give even better
servie in the future than in the
past, result that can only be pos
sible because of the increased floor
space and more and better equip>

AN APPEAL

Whereas, as the ban of the Span
ish Flu has been on our city and
community for more than a month,
and during this time the disease has
eXacted a most fearful toll in the
lives of our citizens, and
Whereas, as at this time there is
no abatement in the ravages of the
disease which, we believe, is due
largely to neglect and carelessness,
and
Whereas, as the educational work
of our city and community is there
by seriously impaired, and our
schools are closed at continuing
expense of about $500 per month,
the Board of Education of the Clay
ton Public Schools makes this appeal
to the doctors and to the health Of
ilcers of our city TO institute mea-
res sufficiently effective TO pro-
tect the personal safety of our citi-
zens; and urge everyone, particular
ly every person in any way connect
ed with the schools TO cooperate,
and to voluntarily use every pre-
caution possible so that the schools
and other institutions of our COM
munity may resume work at the
earliest possible moment, thus saw
ing time, money and the lives OF
our people.

 devoted family, educated and refin-
 ed. In the summer of 1914 it was de- l cided that the mother--a comedy
 woman on the sunny side of 40, and
 the daughter should make the long hoped for visit, and the two arrived
 safely in Belgium, according to let ter written at that time.
 "Then the horde of Prussian over-
 ran and devasted that country, and no further word was heard by the anx- ious husband and father from these two innocent and helpless women, then American citizens, for two long years, then the broken-hearted man received the following note, smuggled through in some manner by way of Switzerland:
 "My Dearest Husband
 For many weary months 1 have sought means by which I might com- municate with you, and the hope that might succeed has caused me to re- main alive. Our poor child is already dead-died by her own hand, to end life of enforced shame and degra- dation too horrible for human voice to express.
 "We were enslaved by these Ger man beasts in human form, and when our bodies were no longer useful ss them on account of the horrors of loathsome disease, we were forced to perform the most menial tasks, even to the plucking of crawling insects from their reeking and filthy naked bodies.
 "My own darling husband, you will now know--if you have net already guessed-why can never hope to re- turn to you, and long before this reaches our own adopted America---if it ever does--I shall be dead.
 "Say to our boy that know he will join the army in France, and that his mother will pray with her last dying breath that the Almighty God will so strengthen his arm that he can in some small measure avenge the things done by these vultures in hu- man form. pray that we shall all be joined again in the great Beyond, where things like this can never be.

What War Doeo.

For those who go to war the victory b not always to the strong nor the race to the swift. One of the seeming. H paradodcal things taught by the conflict between the states was that recruits who seemed to the ordinary observer to be too frail and small to stand the rigors of war almost uni- formly developed into tough and reli. able soldiers, often more 50 than their bulky and athletic brethren. The test of the battlefield has proved that many man who had been dmid and considered himself a coward was in reality braver than the swashbuckler who had sneered at him back home Men who have been dlsgraceful fail. ures in civil life have been converted in the fro of war into leaders of high ability.

--------W. s. S.--------- = GERMAN HELLISHNESS

How the Germans captured, out ragged and finally forced to suicide a Louisiana woman and her daugher, who were in Belgium when that coun- try was overrun by the beasts is told by J. s. Rodriguez of Chattanooga, Tenn, who declares the story was re- lated to him by friend, "a man of the highest standing, occupying a most responsible public position" who "is personally acquainted with the circumstances surrounding the Belgian colony referred to and thor ely familiar with the facts related" 7" Here's the story as MT. Rodriguez re- lates it, together with copy of the letter from the woman just before she took her life:
 "In certain section of the state of Louisiana colony of Belgian far mers located several years before the present war. Many members of the peaceful and happy little colony had left relatives and friends in Belgium, and when prosperity began to come, thoughts of visiting the land of their birth and the loved ones left behind, were uppermost in the minds of many.

DRAINAGE DISTRICT
 MAY RE COMPLETED
Objectors Agree to Drop Fight Against Big Project to Reclaim
 Land in Farrelly Lake Section

Two legal fights against the Farrel- l., Lake Levee district probably will be dropped as result of an agree ment yesterday between promoters of the project and the objectors in a conference at the Hotel Pines. Judge L. c. Smith of Dewitt, representing the opponents of the proposed pro- ject, agreed his clients would cease fighting the district if the proponents agreed not to assess property not benefited by the proposed improve ments. This assurance was given and steps in the proposed improve ment will be carried on.
 The proposed levee would reclaim 90,000 acres of land and protect 100,- 900 acres between the Arkansas river and Big Bayou Meto. The work will cost approximately $350.000. J. M. Oracle, chairman of the meeting, stated that the Capital Issues Com mission at Washington has agreed to permit the issuance of bonds neces- sary to complete the work.

toward preventing famine in this
 country and those of our allies.

The Texas Bankers association has issued call for convention at New Orleans on July to discuss the if nancing of the coming cotton crop. The Texans seem to have the situ- ation accurately pictured, declaring that "unless there is cooperation be- tween banks and farmers in gradu- ally marketing the 1918 crop disas- trous prices threaten to result" The prospects just now are for an im- mense crop. Of course, it will not be as large as now indicated. Neverthe- less it is going to be of such size that plans for gradual marketing must be made now, if the growers are to get anything like the cost of production.

----------W. O. S.--------- PUT THE IDLERS TO WORK

There is good deal of talk about men who are not doing their part in the war work. Feeling against them is increasing. It is, as Lieut.. J. L.. Sharman said, "about time to draw the line between those who are doing their duty and those who arc not.' The same may be said in regard to women. While some good women are working and skimping to help down the beasts, there arc others who are doing absolutely nothing. Apparent ly, having nothing to do at home they parade practically all the time. They are to be seen on the streets nearly every afternoon and evening. Maybe,
 in the morning. The writer doesn't get down in the forenoon, so he can not testify as to that time. These idling women are as much disgrace to their sex, as the idling males are to men,
 Women and men must learn tha. while this war is on, at least, their time is not their own. They cannot fritter it away. There ought to be a rule that idlers should not eat. They have no right to take food when they are not producing something or per forming some service. Every idler is an additional burden on the work CTS.
 Maryland has new law which ap- plies the "work or fight" rule to all males from IS to 50 years of age. It is good law. Congress should en- act such law, increasing the age limit to 50. Unless such law IS enacted by congress or by every state in the union, it is impossible to reach idlers upon whom public sentiment is without effect.
