THE PREMIER OF PREMIERS

Washington, February 24-The Re-
publican Publicity Association, thru
its President, Hon. Jonathan Bourne,
Jr., today gave out the following
statement from its Washington Head
quarters:
at is not too much to predict that
history will point to Premier Clemen-
ceau as the greatest personality that
this war has developed. Called from
retirement to take command of the
government after other premiers had
failed to measure up to the demands
of the hour he Immediately demon
strated in his vigorous handling of the
situation that he had lost none of his
early fighting qualities. The cause of
the allies was at a low ebb when
Clemenceau stepped into the arena
and salmly announced that thereafter
Marshal Foch would exercise supreme
command of the allied armies. Such
was the force Of his character that
nobody had the hardihood to dispute
his decision, and the appointment of
Foch as generalissimo was accepted.
No other single incident Of the war
contributed so much to the allier sue
cess as the unified command that
Clemenceau by sheer force OF will
made a reality.
premier Clemenceau's entire life
has been in the turmoil of politics,
constantly fighting for the principles
in which he believed. Although France
was forced to conclude disastrous
peace with Germany in 1871, it was
not done with the acquiescence Of
Clemenceau. He was one Of the dele
gates at the negotiations and fought
to the last against the ceding Of AL
SAGE and Lorraine to Germany. men
cannot be bought as slaves in Africa,
nor sold as serfs in Russia, nor de-
livered like cattle into the hands of
Bismarck" Those were his words as
he ragged against the oppression of the
Iron Chancellor. He has lived to have
the satisfaction of seeing those states
returned to France, with himself the
leader of his country in bringing Ger
many of her knees.
But great as have been the con-
tributions of the Tiger of France to
the defeat of Germany it may be truth
fully said that at no time has he as
sumed more important role than he
is now playing at the peace confer
ence. While there is a difference of
opinion among the large number of
conferees on most Of the questions
tncy ali are VI httie sisuincdhCc COh-
pared with the paramount Importance
of the policy to be followed in dealing
with Germany. On that question the
conference apparently is divided into
two camps-those who believe in fore
ing the Huns to pay the penalty for
the frightful disaster they brought
upon the world, and those who think
the best way to obtain lasting peace
Is to be lenient with the Germans, to
send them what food they need, raw
materials for their industries, and 80
arrange matters that they will be able
to take their place In competition with

THE DOLLAR MARK

Kaiser Bill started out in the world
war to put his mark upon the world
at large; to corral it, nation by ma
ton, and brand it for his own.
But the dollar of our daddies beat
him to 1t.
Before he had crossed the line of
the Belgian defenses the American
dollar was busy in England and
France. Before he had scuttled into

A man that | know well,
He never done hard days work,
Perhaps he never will.
His wife has got some property,
She's spending it day by day
And the only thing he's wishing,
That she'll soon pass away.
And when she's dead and buried
And in her grave lies low,
He'll go out for good times
A smoking a Cinco.

And so will net whine for

Reid poses as q democrat. The

Public Health Nursing
Demonstration.

Plans for the Public Health Nurs.
ing Demonstration, which is TO be
made in St. Mary Parish for three
months, are taking shape. The pro.
posed sci vice expects to give specia
attention TO the mothers and babies Of
the parish because the need shown by
the reports from the State Board o.!
Health is very great. Last year ~
white babies and II colOred babies
died before they reached their first
birthday. 357 white births and 353
colored births we're reported. The
baby death rate for the parish was
1877 for white and 2lS for colored
babies. The most recent report for
the entire United States gives Q baby
rate OF 1Ol. These deaths we're ap-
proximately one fifth OF all the deaths
which occurred in the parish.
Besides the baby deaths, twelve
mothers died leaving new born babies
and other little children at 3 time
when their families were in greatest
need of q mothers care. These facts
would seem to warrant service for
the prevention of illness and pro-
vision for better care OF mothers and
babies of the parish. Is is recognized
clearly that other health problems
are pressing and urgent; however, the
proposed service Is merely a begin
ming, and it is hoped that later de-
velopments may make it possible to
give care and instruction in health
promotion and prevention OF illness
to every one who needs or desires it.
Arrangements have been made with
local leaders in fourteen of the seven.
teen precincts of the parish to assist
the nurse through their knowledge OF
their community health problems, and
an executive committee will be organ.
ICED to act in an advisory capacity to
the nurse 10 charge.
Through the courtesy OF Miss San
ders, secretary Of the Home Service OF
Red Cross, an Office has been estab-
llshed in the Home Service Room
ia the Court House in Franklin. The
arrangement is cooperative one
which will undoubtedly prove OF great
mutual benefit, although there Is no
official connection between the Red
cross and the Nursing Demonstra-
ton; nor is there any official connec-
ton between the national organisa-
lions represented.
