PROPER COURSE, SAYS DENT

Another, Alabamian who thinks the President followed the proper course is Representative Dent, chairman of the House committee on military affairs. He said: "If the Kaiser does not withdraw his troops from allied territory, he will be convicted before the world and his own people of insincerity. If he does retire, the allies will follow to the bound ary of Germany and be prepared, if peace is not ordered, to step across and wage war on German territory.
 T think the situation is more in our hands since the President spoke than ever before. And even before he spoke we had the German column broken in many particulars"
 The Washington opinion is that the Kaiser cannot accept Wilson's terms, that he cannot withdraw his army from France and Belgium, and cannot evac- uate Russia. According to this view point, he will necessarily have to settle with his own people for unnecessarily prolonging a war which has cost mill lions of lives and strewn the European world with immeasurable hunger and ineXpressble suffering.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-10-10

MT. Wilson was very happy and very wise in the selection of his mode of reply and predict that future develop ments will sustain his position.
 BANKHEAD PLEASED
 Senator Bankhead is one who finds especial merit in MT. Wilson's inquiry.
 We talk too much of blood" said he. The President was right in his strong, but conservative statement. It is a fact that the Confectionery fought two un- necessary years for the simple reason that it was made to believe by irrespon- sible persons that at the end it's states would be made vassal territories domi- mated by negroes. Germany hears all the wild debate in the Senate, and Ger man people believe, in all probability, that in the end we will destroy them with the sword. But for the more con servative and truthful utterance of the President, German people would fight to the last ditch and postpone the con summation of our aims unnecessarily and at the expense of many thousands of American lives.
 T indorse the course of the President. He has put Germany in nice hole The Kaiser must either surrender on American terms or accept responsibili- ty before his own people for continuing the fearful battle.'

 Rome October 9,-ItaIiaB troops pushing northward in Albania en- tered the city of Elbasan on Mon- day after stubborn AustrO-Hun- garian resistance, the Italian war office announced today. The Ital- ians are continuing their advance. The statement reads: Albania: On Sunday, after enemy covering parties had been repulsed and numerous prisoners taken, one of
 our columns occupied the heights east of Murikians.
 "On Monday after crushing the stuo- born resistance of enemy rear guards. we entered the city of Fl Basan. Our advance is continuing.
 After dispensing the enemy on the heights northwest of the Lyushna riv- er we continued our march on the road to Kavaya. coming again in con-
 tact with the enemy at Gramshi.'
 Fl Basan is one of the chief towns of southern Albania, and before the war had a population estimated at 15.- GOO. It has numerous mosques and is the seat of Greek bishop. Kavaya is 12 miles northwest of Gramshi and Il miles southeast of the l&driatic sea-
 port of Durazzo, which recently was
 bombarded by allied warships.

As stated this morning in this corre- spondence, the Kaiser must either ac- cept the terms of Mr. Wilson and or der a general retirement of his troops, or become convicted of insincerity before jury of his own people. If he does retire, the armies of the allied nations will follow his retreat even to the bor- ders of Germany, and will thus be in position to step across in the event the peace parleys are productive of no good result.

REV. s. T. NEWELL'S
POLITICAL VERSION

Two great political parties are now
arrayed against each other in the
great State of Arizona. The Negro
asks: with which party should l
affiliate?" l answer by saying that
he should affiliate with no certain
party any more than the American
white man does.
The Negro has always proved him
self one hundred per cent American.
He lived two hundred and fifty years
in chattel slavery on American soil.
He learned to follow the examples set
by the proud Anglo Saxons. They are
able to see the necessity for arrang-
ing themselves in two great parties.
Now, whatever is good for the Ameri-
can white man, is also good for the
American Negro
The Negro should no longer allow
any party to put a ring in his nose,
and lead him about at will. In the
year of 1886, one of our great repub
lican leaders in the person of the
Hon. H. Clay Evans of Tennessee,
caused the thinking Negro to realize
hat the republican party had decided
to make the Negro go for himself
This honorable gentleman introduced
the first bill of disfranchisement in
the u. S. congress; namely THE Lily
White Republican Bill"
Every rule of reason and every law
of logic will teach us that the Negro
can never hope to derive any poll
teal benefits so long as he continues
to follow the party that is simply
tolling him along with promises. Ev-
cry Negro man and woman should
make good use of the ballot now and
for all times to come. We should
spurn the offer of q job or few dol
lars for our vote. Whenever a poll.

Newarker Who Met Him Gives I'm.

BY Robert A. Travis.

In Newark IN. - Daily Ledger, Oct. G
Some months ago, or, to be exact.
on Friday. May II, George Creel, Di
rector of the National Bureau of In
formation, at Washington, D. c., said
to the writer. in speaking of Emmett
]. Scott, special assistant 10 the sec
retary of war. "A wonderful man. 2
remarkably efficient man, brilliant, OF
inestimable value to the War Depart
ment."
These words were in our mind as
We were being led by a marine Thurs-
day morning through the lobby and
down the aisle of the west side of the
first floor Of the War Department
building to Room 131, in which Mr.
Scott has his office.
Entering the main entrance of the
War Department building, one is i'm
mediately impressed with the air of
business-like hustle. Here there is nc
loafing. Everyone is on his or her
job with 100 per cent energy.
Entering the office of the special as
sistant secretary, one realizes that
here is a workshop. -Four expert male
stenographers are seated at desks
piled with correspondence and printed
mater in orderly array, pounding type
writer keys at a high rate of speed
We are greeted by one of these. Our
errand being stated we are advised
that Mr.. Scott has stepped out of the
office for moment, and we are intro
duced to Private Secretary Davis. One
glance at Secretary Davis. the shape Of
his head, the alertness of his eye, the
air of high efficiency which seems to
be all about him, and it is quickly
realized that one of the things which
has contributed to Mr.. SCOTS sue
cess is his ability to pick men.

retary Scott enters. Even in the for

altar of American liberty. From that
time, until the present day. the Negro
has been sacrificing his life for the
greatest government in all the world;
a government that is now fighting for
human rights and justice-a world

of God to have the Negro know that
he is part and parcel of this great
government and not just the handy
pair of tongs with which political
party may pull clinkers out of the

Suggestions to those who are nursing the sick

Keep clean. Isolate your patients.
When in attendance upon patients,
wear mask which will cover both
the nose and the mouth. When the
mask is once in place do not handle
it. Change the mask every two
hours. Owing the the scarcity of
gauze, boil for one half hour and
rinse, then use the gauze again.
Wash your hands each time you come
in contact with the patient, or any
one else.
Phoenix tribune., 1918-11-02
Rules for everyone to follow

muscular pain, headache, backache
unusual tiredness and fever, go 10
bed at once and send for a doctor.
See that there is enough bed clothing
to keep you warm.
Open all windows in your bedroom
and keep them open.
Take medicine to open the bowels
freely.
Take some nourishing food-some
cereal, toast, fruit. etc. are the
best.
Stay in bed until physician tells
you that it is safe to get up.
Allow no one else to sleep in the
same room.
Phoenix tribune., 1918-11-02

Protect others by sneezing and cough
ing into handkerchiefs or cloths,
which should be boiled or burned.
Insist that whoever gives you water
or food or enters the sick room for
any other purpose shall wear a gauze
mask, which may be made at the
home of four to six folds of gauze
and which should cover the nose
and mouth and be tied behind the
head.
Remember that these masks must be
kept clean, must be put on outside
the sick room, must not be handled
after they are tied on and must be
boiled 80 minutes and thoroughly dried
every time they are taken off.
