HUNS AFRAID OF
NEGRO SOLDIERS
NEGROES A CURIosITY-THEIR
APPEARANCE IN OCCUPIED
TERRITORY SIGNAL FOR BIG
CROWD.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY OF
OCCUPATION-Wherever American
negroes have appeared in the area
o. apiei By the Americans they have
attracted great attention among the
civilians. In Treves, Coblenz and
other places during the early days of
the occupation crowds assembled
wherever any negro soldiers stopped
and it was necessary for the military
police to enforce the orders prohibit
ing gatherings. Even now in Coblenz
and Treves, where there are a num-
Der of negro soldiers, they attract
crowds of German children every
time they appear.
The German soldier also regards
the negro with great curiosity. Ac-
cording to a discharged German sol
der in Rengsdorf, the German army
early in the war offered reward of
400 marks for the capture alive each
negro. The discharged German SOL
dier said that throughout the war
German soldiers lived in great fear
and even terror of the negroes and
it was in order to overcome this fear
that rewards were offered.

ASKS AID OF WORKERS
Secretary of Labor Requests Help
Of Labor in Starting Municipal
Construction and improvements

''Use your influence with your city
fathers, your selectmen, and otner
town officers to start at once munich
pal and town improvements" This
Is the message which the Department
Of Labor is sending to wage workers
throughout the country.
The Secretary of Labor, Hor. w.
B. Wilson, has no fear as to condi-
tions after the readjustment period
Is over. He believes that then avery
thing will take care of itself. He
further is optomistic even as Co the
readjustment period if States, cities.
and towns will now commence pub
lie works to take care of tho labor
slack which may exist during the re
adjustment period.
He is therefore urging Che wage
earners of the country to use their
influence In their own communities
to have school houses, engine houses,
roads, canals, and other improve
ments begun at once. Such impr)ve-
menta are beneficial to everyone, can
easily be financed, and offer Il great
est opportunities for all classes OF

MUST PROVIDE JOBS
FOR $4,000 MEN
MISSISSIPPI FEDERAL EMPLOY
MENT SERVICE is CALLING ON
PEOPLE FOR PLACES FOR DIS
CHARGED FIGHTER S-Dis-
TRIcT OFFICES SEEK TO Lo-
CATE MEN.

JACKSON, Miss, Jan. 26.-Thc
United States Employment Service in
Mississippi, with headquarters at Me-
ridian, is calling on the people of the
state to consider the 10000 Missis-
sippi soldiers who are either now or
shortly will be cut of the army and in
the majority of cases casting about
for opportunities to renew the pro-
cess of making living; for theni-
selves or their families. It is de.
clared that "to settle 10000 men
solidly in Mississippi is equal to an
investment of $180,000, 900 of new
capital in the state"
1t is suggested as a means Of help-
ing out that thousands of them will
gladly go at farm and industrial
work, if they are offered opporturi-
ties of respectable living, earring and
advancement. The fact that more
than S3,000,000 is now available in
Mississippi, and more in early pros
pect, for the building of good roads,
lis advanced as one available avenue
Of activity for thousands of the re-
turned dsughb5ys.
The employment service is MAX
ing earnest efforts to locate as many
men as possible, and is drawing liber-
ally on the advertising space in the
Mississippi papers in order to let this
fact be widely known. In addition
to the main Office in Meridian, in
charge of Mr.. Densmore, there are
district Offices at Jackson, Vieksburg,
Laurel, Natchez, Corinth, Holly
Springs, Clarksdale, PascagouIa, Gulf
port, Hattiesburg and other centers,
which enables the United States EN-
ployment Service to cover Mississippi
like the dew.

U. S. HAD 1,s5o.ooo SOLDIERS,
FRENCH HAD 2.55e,o0o MEN
ON WEST FRONT, AND BRITAIN
i,71s,ooo. AMERICA LEADING
IN DECENTRALIZATION.

On the day the armistice was sign
ed the American army on the west
ern front was second instrength only
to that of France itself. Figures
made public by Gen. March showed
that on November IL the United
States was represented on the west
ern front by 100000 men. France,
on November /, the last date for
which official figures were available,
had 2,559,000. The British and the
Portuguese attached to the British
army totalled 1,718,000, while the
Belgian and Italian forces on the
western front aggregated about 200,-
900.
These totals are all based upon
what is termed the ration strength, +"
This includes every soldier who has
to be fed, both combatants and the
necessary medical and supply organi-
cations.
Gen. March again gave campara-
tive rehabilitation totals for the
United States and British armies. Up
to January "a the United States had
actually discharged 57,759 army
officers and 858,117 men. The Brit
ish on January IL discharged 49,
759 officers and 611,950 men. The
total ordered for discharge in this
country is now 100000
Gen. March announced that pun
ishments of war tim e severity
for military offenders in the United
States have been stopped by the War
Department. From now on military
offenses at home viii be punished in
accordance with an order issued by
the president before the war, which
sets out the maximum sentences
which would be approved for military
offenses in time of peace. The new
order does not apply to troops in
France, Siberia or Italy.
Gen. March said that men dis
charged from the army will be per-
mitted to retain the divisional in
sigma which they wore while In the
service. A recent order Of the de-
partment permitted wearing of these
Insignia up to the date Of discharge.
So far as the men remaining in the
regular army are concerned the
regulations concerning uniform will
be maintained and they do not permit
soldier to wear insignia of the divi-
sions with which they formerly serv-
ed.

FEW HOTELS GET
INSPECTORS 0. K.
OUT OF MANY BARBER SHOPS
VISITED, ONLY TWO WERE
USING INDIVIDUAL HOT TOW
ELS-SANITARY SODA FoUN.
TAINS FEW AND FAR BE.
TWEEN.

The Mississippi State Board of
Health, as reported by Or. w. s.
Leathers, executive officer, is in re-
ceipt Of report from DR.. G. K. Shipp,
chief sanitary inspector, showing in
outline his activities from September
20, the day upon which he began his
official career in that capacity, down
TO and including December l, 1918.
The report shows that during the
period covered, DR.. Shipp rad rtFieia.-
ly visited and inspected "a counties,
and, incidentally, 81 towns repres at
cd population of abou. $4,000
people, and among the official acts
were 72t individual inspections, and
as result of this voluntary clos
ing of 64.9 per cent of the places in
spected for cleaning up and readj ;st-
ment. As further stated, a large
majority of the places closed up as a
result of the descent of DR.. Shipp
were soda fountains and soft drink
establishments.
DR.. Shipp found frst-clsss hotels
in the following cities: Hattiesburg.
Jackson, Greenville, GreenN ood, Gulf
port, Laurel, Tupelo, Canton, New
Albany, Winona and Holly Springs;
all of these he found were complying
with the requirements ane regula-
tions.
First-class restaurants, complying
in all respects with the requirements,
were found in Hattiesburg, Green
Vile, Gulfport, Moorehead, Grenada
and West Point. Outside of Hatties-
burg, DR.. Shipp found only one sb-
solutely clean and censEre proof
soda fountain, and this was IN Green
wood. The report is silent as TO the
degree of deficiency of the many of
this type of public utility which fail
ed to get on the absolute honor roll.
One rather remarkable disclosure
shown as result of his inspection of
barber shops This was that with The
exception of two out of dozen visited
all were using general hot towels
throughout the day, instead OF ehang-
ing after each tonsorial attention.
DR.. Shipp also found % hairbrushes
and four combs that were so pat,rtly
unsanitary that he destroyed them
out of hand and himself cast the
remnants into the garbage can.
During the same period, as eport-
cd, 445 pounds Of food found in
grocery and market stocks, was de-
stroyed as being unfit for use, to-
gether with three barrels of mo-
lasses-
Sanitary Inspe aor Shipp seems to
have only one rule: Either q place
or thing is sanitary or it is not. If
1t is not, it goes into the garbage and
crematory, without parley or apology,
or it is closed up until the conditions
are corrected.
DR.. Leathers paid hearty tribute
to the conscientious and wholeheart-
ed way in which DR.. Shipp is discharg-
ing his exacting duties, in thor
oughly impartial and painstalSing
manner which is getting results.

NAMES TO BE PUBLISHED
SOON.

An official report from Gen. Per-
shing made public recently shows
that on January 10 there were 1867
753 men of the American army in
hospitals in France and England, of
whom 72,642 were suffering from
disease and 33,111 from wounds or
other injuries.
The report said that the number of
hospital cases is steadily decreasing,
there having been a reduction of
more than $4,000 since the previous
week. Deaths during the week pre-
ceding that covered by the report
numbered Sol, of whom $50 died of
disease and 281 of wounds received
before the armistice was signed.
A complete and carefully checked
list of men still in the hospitals in
France and England who were wound
ed before hostilities ceased is now on
its way by courier to the United
States. 1t will furnish definite in
formation as to the nature Of the
injuries suffered by each man.
The department also announced
that cable advices from Gen. Per-
SuiHS HulcdIeu tndL the long and
tedious task of battle casualty reports

Individual additions resulting
from the Identification Of missing

the triple check of all organization
and hospital records, instituted by the
direction of the secretary of war,
may of course be expected, and will
be promptly reported-as will deaths
from illness or accident. In general,
however, the lists of those who died
in action, received serious injuries,
reported to the families of officers
and soldiers to the press, stands COM
plete.
"In the meantime the War De-
partment is engaged upon check of
the original records sent for the pur-
pose from France, in order to report
both to the families and to the pub
lie, as matter of record and appre-
citation, the men who have received
(and recovered froml relatively slight
injuries on the field Of battle." "

GERMAN SUBMARINE
LOSSES WERE GREAT

Of the 203 German submarines
lost during the war, it is estimated
semi-of6cially, 120 were sunk with all
on board, and that in the others an
average Of half the crew persisted.
The complement of the German
submarines varied. Some small boats
had only thirty on board while the
crews of boat of the cruiser type
average between so and so.
The British navy during the war
lost SO submarines, 39 of which were
destroyed by the enemy.
OF the remainder, four were in
termed by neutrals, seven were blown
up in the Baltic Sea, four were sunk
by accident on trial cruises and five
were wrecked in collisions.
