HOMO EOPATHIC HOSPITAL DO
NATION DAY sOON TO COME

What could he done in an epidemic
without hospitals? Even the bllshed
institutions could not take care of all the
patients during the recent epidemic, but
they put every available resource at the
disposal of the Red Cross and the health
authorities The homeopathic Hospital
gave over its newly completed addition
to the Red Cross. and this service proved
valuable in the great need OF the time.
This and other public services have
been a drain on the institutions income
The never ccasing rise in the price of
supplies IS another and very considerable
drain on its resources, and with this in
mind, the managers are calling upon the
public and the friends OF the hospital for
a generous response on their annual
donation day. Money and supplies are
needed and will be gratefully acknowledge

The All-Russian Government on

to Omsk, where the already organi-
zed governmental institutions of the
Siberian Government are put at the
disposal Of the All-Russian Govern

| CITY SUBSCRIBERS.

The Daily Sun was stated eight
months ago. We have been running
all this time at an actual loss, in an
effort to give Greenevile a daily
newspaper. We have appropriated the
proceeds from the publication Of The
Weekly Sun to the expense Of The
Daily Sun, in order that we might
be able to give the afternoon paper
thorough try-out. We have re-
ceived the earnest support Of num-
Der Of our citizens in our undertake
ing. We are sorry to say, however,
that there are many of our very best
people who have never taken the
paper, but who still take both Of the
Knoxville newspapers. We should
have fully five hundred regular sub
scribers to The Daily Sun in the city
alone. This would cover only about
one-half the homes within the city
limits proper. From a business
standpoint, if no other, every bust
ness firm in Greeneville should re-
ceive a copy of The Daily Sun every
afternoon-as it's we daresay less
than one-fourth of them are sub
scribers to it. We have made ar
rangements during the past two
weeks to increase the size Of The
Daily Sun and otherwise improve its
appearance. In order that this might
be done we have installed an addi-
tional typesetting machine and other
equipment at a cost of several thou
sand dollars. This machine and
equipment, however, can be used on
other work should our efforts to con-
tinue The Daily Sun prove fruitless.
The subscription price of The Daily
Sun, delivered anywhere in the city,
was placed at 15c a week, This is
little more than the larger city papers
are getting, but then we are under
taking to get out a daily newspaper
in small town with about the same
expense upon us as the larger city
papers have, and we cannot make the
same rate they do until we get estab-
lished. This rate amounts to $3.50
year. In order that we may find
out just how many Of our citizens
want to see The Daily Sun continue
just how many have sufficient faith
in it to pay for the paper yearly in
advance, we are going to accept
yearly, subscriptions delivered any
where in the city by carrier, at SIS
for a few days. This is saving of
$3.50 to all who pay for the full
year in advance. At the same time a
few hundred of these subscriptions
paid in advance just now would as
sist us in meeting the heavy expense
we have been rut to in getting in
shape to publish The Daily Sun. We
don't believe there is man in
GreeneviIIe but who wants to see this
daily newspaper continue, and the
failure Of many to support it has
been thoughtlessness on their part.
they have never stopped to consider
just what it means to the town and
community. We hope this class will
now get behind us in our efforts and
with the earnest cooperation of our
people we promise to give GreenevilleI
and Greene county daily newspaper
they will not be ashamed of before
very long.
Mail us check for SIS today for
a. full years subscription to The
Daily Sun delivered by carrier in the
city. Don't all come at once!

quent exchanges of communications
with Col. E. M. House which have
been proceeding steadily since the
special representative Of the Ameri-
can government reached France a
week ago with Admiral William S,
Benson, ranking officer of the navy,
Late in the day the President walk
ed over to the state war and navy
building from the White House for
conference with Secretary Baker.
Thus far no inkling has been Civ
en- here as to the proceedings Of the
supreme war council, which convened
today, or of the exchanges which took
place at Paris between representa-
tives Of the entente nations and Col
onel House before the councils ses-
sions began. Colonel House has been
keeping the President in close touch
with events and it was assumed that
Mr.. Wilson's visit to the war secre-
tary had to do with some phase of
the discussions.
There was no confirmation in
Washington today Of reports from
Europe that Gen, Diaz, the Italian
commander in chief, had received
from the supreme war council the
terms Of an armistice, he was author
lied to offer to the Austrian com
mander in the field. However, in
many quarters the report, If not cor
rect, was regarded as being only
slightly in advance Of facts.
Such official Information as the
state department had today from had
once been the dual empire indicated
that very little remained Of that
structure owing to the separation Of
the Hungarians, Bohemians and Ju-
go-Slavs from the parent state. Ev-
en- in that remnant of once mighty
empire grave disorders were report
ed and its total collapse was believed
to be imminent.
The reported attempt of the new
" formed Germanic state Of Austria
to cast its lot with Germany in the
peace negotiations and applications
for an armistice is expected to be
dealt with by the Versailles council,
for at this stage it is regarded as a
purely military problem. But even
if it takes on a political character,
officials said there was ample prece-
dent for treating it in the arrange
ment Of an armistice. A direct pre-
cedent is found in the protocol of Au-
gust IL, 1898, which terminated hos
tilities between the United States and
Spain and which established the bas-
es Of the final peace treaty at Paris,
by requiring Spain to relinquish Gu
ba; to cede Porto Rico and Guam to
the United States and to leave the dis
position of the Philippines to the
peace conference.
