BERLIN FACES WINTER
WITH COAL SHORTAGE

BERLIN, Oct. 25.-Berlin faces a
winter with little or no coal and con
sequent freezing conditions. lack Of cleo
tricity, gas and lighting, and in addition
a shortage Of dwellings.
Up to now the government has in
most cases contented itself with appeal
ing to house owners who have more
than enough room to volunteer some
space to those without shelter. The re
plies have been exceedingly few, and
those in power are seriously considering
an adaptation Of the system in vogue
IN Budapest and Munich during the
soviet regimes. That is, the authorities
would forcibly take over parts Of GER
tain houses.
A Berlin magistrate has ordered all
the war companies, most of them in
process Of dissolution or entirely dis
solved, out of their spacious quarters
which they had enjoyed for the period
Of the war, to provide places for those
who have no homes.
Neukoelln, a suburb OF Berlin, has at.
tempted to help solve the situation by
building emergency houses.
Another suburb, Gruenau, proposes to
confiscate the dwellings of bachelors
and put families in them, though it
is not stated what would be done with
the bachelors. Other suburbs plan to
confiscate, for the winter at least, the
homes Of summer guests that stand
empty all winter, and fill them with
the homeless. One suburb has already
taken this step.
The city of Berlin has erected in the
Tempelhofer Chaussee district a model
house Of clay, and will duplicate them
en- masse If it is found that they are
practical, The dwelling authorities
plan on the erection, as soon as pos
sible, of $500 permanent residences Of
a modest character.
The dwelling authorities plan one and
two family houses with garden, and
larger family houses with a number OF
apartments, and a tiny garden to each
dwelling.
Average, building costs are estimated
~conservatively at four and one-half
times the peace rate. The government
has already obtained control of some
1000 empty stores, garrets, work plants.
barracks and temporary structures to
shelter those in pressing need, A to-
tai of 20, 900, 900 marks has thus far been
voted or raised for these emergency
measures.
Swarms of people from the occupied
territories are arriving in Berlin, in
creasing the need faster than measures
can be taken to alleviate 1t, The
dwelling association issues warnings re-
peatedly against the influx into Berlin,
but without much effect.

SAN DOMINGO WISHES
U.S.. TROOPS TO STAY

SAN JUAN P. r., Oct, 25.-Martin
Travieso, Of the Santo Domingo claims
commission Of 1917, has recently ar
rived here from Ssnto Domingo on his
way to New York and Washington to
submit TO the United States govrrr"'o'
a memorandum on conditions in Sa~'o
Domingo, Mr., Travieso, who was form
eTly lleutenailt-hv,N.-s. y.
and a native of this islLlA, ,..-
doubted very much whether the Span
ish colony in Santo Domingo would sup
port the suggestion made by prominent
leaders, deputies and senators OF Spain
that this would be an opportune time
for the United States to withdraw its
troops from Santo Domingo, 1t will be
recalled that this suggestion signed by
a number Of leading Spaniards was for
warded by the Spanish government TO
Washington a few weeks ago.
Mr.. Travieso said he had heard OF
the Spanish suggestion, while in Santo
Domingo, but that apparently little was
known about IL there. II have talked
with many Spaniards in the island
said he, and their condition is so much
better today, owing to the temporary
American military government, than 1t
was during the revolutionary days Of
the various independent Dominican gov
ernments, that | am sure they would

vorable than they are today.
There is n point on which the
people Of Santo Domingo are firmly
united he continued. They do not
want to be a part of the United States.
them until such time as he word In
dependence will be synonymous with
liberty"
Mr.. Travieso said that the military
government in many ways had been
| most successful in Santo Domingo, and
he thought it had taught the Domini-
cans that a government could be main
tanned by adequate military forces. In
his opinion the time had come when
a civil government should be estab-
lished largely among the Dominicans
themselves, with the support of the
United States and American troops to
\ maintain order. il necessary.
He expressed the opinion that the
| United States should declare its inten-
| lions regarding its future policy In the
| island, and said that Dominicans now
are opposed to military opposition, be
cause they are uncertain when II may
be terminated. He believes the lead
ers would support the American mill
tary efforts enthusiastically II they
could do SO without at the same time
being accused of being traitors.
Since the American military occupa-
ton in November, 1915, said Mr.. Ira
vieso, revolutions have been stopped.
order has been established and the
country is in a more prosperous con
dition than ever before. Property own
ers and the more substantial element
throughout Santo Domingo, he declared,
are largely agreed that 1t Is for the
best interest Of the country for the
American supervision OF the Dominican
affairs to be continued until IT is safe
to turn the government back to the
D~ominicans themselves, but all Domin-
leans are united in wanting their in
dependence as a nation maintained.

and, i. the function" be of sufficient importance to call for refresh
ments, then salads, ices and CONNECTIONS are served, and the seeds are
sown for a full crop of headaches and heartburns and dyspepsia and
doctors bills and bad tempers! While it may be true that we today
are living more in a month than our forefathers did in a year, yet
are we living any better or happier, any sounder physically and NOR
ally? Nay, nay!
There are many people who are losing the honors of better vic
tories today simply because they do not do their best for God with
the things they already possess. All the world is better for every
one who is living at his best. The effect of a true life, nobly lived.
even though it be in the most obscure part of the earth, will be felt
as an uplifting power in this present world, and its influence will
touch the uttermost bounds of eternity. In fact, after all, the best
and most successful life that can be lived in this world is that life
which is lived unselfshly and in the fear and love of God. Such a
life will not only be richly rewarded by God here but also hereafter
There are lots of folk in the world who know far more about
their fellows than they do about themselves. They are giving so
much attention to how others are conducting themselves that they
neglect the necessary scrutiny of their own actions. These have
much to say about the faults and faiings of their neighbors and &C
quaintances. But how often is it the case that in the particulars in
which these find most fault with their fellows they egregously err
themselves! If we would only keep ourselves and our conduct be-
fore our own eyes we would see far less of the faiings of the "other
fellow"
1t has been said, Every man carries a wallet or two satchels
or bags with him; the one banking before and the other behind him.
Into that before he puts the faults of others; into that behind, his
own-by which means he never sees his own failings, whilst he has
those of Others always before him" So true-and yet how much
wiser to reverse the order!

HERE IS THE WHOLE TRUTH:

In 1911, when Mr., Williams was a candi-
date for Mayor, the question was raised as to
whether it would not be better to employ negro
nurses in the City Hospital to wait on negro
men, and whether or not negro physicians
should have the privilege of administering to
their own patients who had removed to the
City Hospital. Nothing whatever was said
about negro doctors and negro nurses enjoying
the same privileges given white doctors and
nurses. Mr.. Williams, of course, cannot recall
the nature of every communication received
by him during a campaign eight years ago.
He does remember, however, that the question
set forth above was raised, and that he favored
employment of negro nurses to wait on negro
men.
On Oct. 16 of this year, just a week ago,
Mr.. Williams received a letter from a white
physician of Memphis, which read as follows:
memphis, Tenn, Oct. 10, 1910.

ter was a bona fide inquiry of a physician seek
ing information, and not a trap set by political
antagonists in an attempt to deceive the voters,
and believing, of course, that the alleged report
referred to had to do with the present cam

following reply:

than the man who conceived and started the infamous lie.
(Stgned) ~. j. WILLIAMS"
The Williams Campaign Committee desires
that this contest be conducted on a plane in
keeping with decency. The Williams Campaign
Committee would rather its whole ticket were
defeated than to elect one of it's candidates by
dragging into the mire the good name of an
innocent man.
At the outset of this campaign an attempt
was made to besmirch the names of two young
men by insinuating that they had mutilated the
registration books of De Soto County, Miss, by
cutting therefrom the name of J. J. Williams.
It was intimated that j.. J. Williams had krnOwl-
edge of the affair. Every circumstance con-
neCted with the affair tends to show that the
scheme was concocted and executed by political
opponents of Mr., Williams. One of the young
men whose name was dragged into it has Just
returned from the battlefields of France. This
young mans name is Edgar Cheatham. He is
the sole survivor of an aerial squadron Of seven
members who fought and whipped their Hun
adversaries in the air. Mississippi is proud of
this hero, and here is a bona fide letter that
completely exonerates him. Please note that it
bears both date and signature. It has not been
tempered with, and it was not written eight
years ago. The letter follows:
