 No consideration of peace until Germany and her vassals are thor oughly beaten and her far-reach- ing plan of world dominion de- stroyed.
 No peace by negotiation, con ciIiation or bargaining.
 No peace until Germany is strip ped of the territory she has wrest- ed from other nations.

INFLUENZA LIKE FORMER EPIDEMIC
 OF GRIP IN 1889

Spanish influenza, Public Health Service statistics believe, is very sim liar to the epidemic of grippe which swept the country during the winter of 1889 and 1890.
 Very probably, the infection, resur- rected in Europe, and after sweeping the war-torn countries, now has ap- peared in the United States, has very ancient history, taking it back to the day of Hippocrates and Livius more than 400 years before Christ.
 The best means of treatment of in fuenza cases were communicated to the country a few days ago by Sur geon- General Blue through the Asso- ciated Press. Now General Blue has issued a leaflet which tells something about the strange malady.
 Tt seems probable that in 1918, as in 18S9-90, the earliest appearance was in eastern Europe" it says. By April cases were occurring on the western front. In Spain, according to reports, 30 per cent. of the popula- ton were attacked in May. The 1889 epidemic, starting in northern Flu rope, also fell heavily on Spain; the present ruler, then three years old, being one of the first attacked in Mad rid. The King of Spain is said also to have been attacked in the present epidemic. The epidemic of 1918 was at Its height in Germany in June and July. It has appeared in practically every section of Europe. In England the epidemic prevailed in May, June and July.
 "Outbreaks have been reported from various sections of the United States, but the spread has been by nc means so rapid as in 1889, when the disease occurred in America almost simultaneously with its appearance 1T western Europe.
 'The symptoms in the present pan

 That was not all. They also stole from them all the woolen clothing they had and all the food that was in their houses. They gave them in re- turn less than half rations of their own black bread, and required the men each day to work from morning till night burying dead animals on the battlefield and at other work, until these old people, when we found them, were on the point of death"

SWEDEN TEACHES
 ENGLISH IN SCHOOLS

Stockholm, Oct. By royal de- cree, students of the higher schools in Gothenburg may this year, if they desire, substitute English for German as their first foreign language. The order is in the nature of an experi- ment to see how English adapts itself for beginners. German has hitherto been the first language studied in the Swedish schools, English and French coming in second place.

Fred T. Colter, candidate for the democratic nomination for governor in the coming primaries. is native of the state of AriZoa. He began life as a laborer and by hard work and the confidence of the community in which helived, was able to set himself up in business until today he is the holder of large interests throughout the state. His first ventures were in livestock, later he went into the mer- cantile business and became interest ed in banking.
 Among the most notable of MT. Colt CTS contributions to the resources of the state are the Little Colorado River valley and the Lyman and St Johns rec lamation projects. The Little Colorado River valley project has been brought to a high state of cultivation and the town of Golfer established in it. He is also interested in large tracks of land in the Salt River valley which he has developed.
 MT Golfer has always been prom inently identified with the cattle inter- ests of the state. He is the vice presi- dent of the Arizona Cattle Growers association and the president of the Navajo County Livestock association.
 He has devoted much of his time to encouraging good roads and spent his own money in their construction. He has been instrumental in the formation of societies to carry on the work of educating the people to the necessity of good roads as essential to the great est development of the state
 In addition to his many business in- terests he is deeply interested in pub lie affairs and spent much of his time in public office. He was the super visor of Apache county for five years was delegate to the constitutional | convention and served in the second and third legislature
 When President Wilson was con- ducting his campaign in Arizona for president. Fred T. Colter was the dem ocratic national committeeman from the state and handled his campaign. He was state fair commissioner and 9 membersof the sheep sanitary commits sion.
 MT. Colter has always stood for pro- gfessive and advanced legislation in Arizona. He introduced the irrigation district bill which provided a means of financing reclamation land. and thus enabled thousands of settlers to add to the prosperity of the state, was one of the original supporters of the woman suffrage and prohibition pills, and in the special session of the legislature in- troduced the bill for the ratification of the federal dry amendment and the joint memorial urging congress td adopt woman suffrage.
 l Legislation along advanced sanitary lines has always found a strong SUD- porter in MT. Colter, and his record shows that he stood behind every moral or social issue brought up in the state.

MISSIONS SHOULD BE
UPHELD, SAYS WILSON
President Writes Methodists to
Maintain Efforts.

The war should not be allowed to
inverrupt the missionary work of the
churches. On the contrary, it should
prove an inspiration to missionary
workers to put forth their best efforts
in behalf of humanity and Chris
tianity.
This is the view of President Wilson,
expressed in a letter to the chairman
of the joint centenary committee of
the Methodist Episcopal Church,
made public last night. 1t is as
follows:
I entirely agree with YOU in re-
gard to the missionary work, / think
II would be real misfortune, a mis-
fortune of lasting consequence, IL the
missionary program for the worn
should be interrupted. There are
many calls for money, of course, and
i can quite understand that it may
become more difficult than ever 20
obtain money for missionary enter
prfses. But that the work undertaken
should be continued and continued
as Tar as possible. at its full force,
seems to me of capital necessity, ana

Is leaving the capital
I stood in line at one Of the main
railway stations today, waiting with
scores of others and sizing UP the
long line Of baggage trucks.
Beyond the truck-line there was a
trunk-line-people waiting their turn
to get a truck. Many had wheeled
their belongings from distant parts
of the city. and were hot and weary.
But 1t was the most weli-tempered
and patient line I have ever stood
in. The theater queue" waiting for
the box office to open, is an angry
mob compared with that station line.
Not Like 1914.
How does this compare with Sep

in the line.

A Fortified Camp.
Then why this exodus? Why do we
see middle-aged citizens and their
sedate spouses pushing handcarts
piled with luggage and household
goods?
The answer is simply this:
Paris is a fortified camp.
A fortified camp Is neither q sum-
mer resort nor rest cure place for
nervous people, at least not in war
time. when the enemy's guns can be
heard
So very wisely the camp authorities
have arranged a semi-official moving
day for all those whose health and
nerves are likely to suffer from the
camp atmosphere and all it entails.
Invalids, old people and children
are being given every facility for
leaving as comfortably as possible.
Most Of them would be leaving any
way in July. war or no war, for their
annual holiday or air-cure. So the or
dinary program of life is sufreing no
violence.

MINE WORKERS UNITE
In MAKING BIG DRIVE
Operators. Too. Striving Hard to
Increase Production.

The mine workers in many dis
tricts are making a big drive and
smashing records for coal produc-
ton. Reports of district represen-
tatives show that operators and
mine workers are a unit in their
industrial drive for victory.
E. A. Holmes, district represen-
tative for Alabama, reports the
production for the week ending
July 13 as 41z.47S net tons. The
previous high record for this dis
trict was 379.737 tons.
Z. M. Roehrig, district represen-
tative for the Big Sandy and Elk
horn districts of Kentucy, reports
a new record production of 1895
tons for the same week. The pre-
Vious high record for this district
was 1898 tons.
From Central Pennsylvania. J. p

reports production increase
amounting to 10000 tons. The
