NEARLY 350,000 DEATHS GAUSED BY FLU Japan Says Race Discrimination Must Cease PHOENIX VOLUME I. NUMBER 38 RACE DISCRIMINATION MUST CEASE IF PEACE IS TO BE PRESERVED Japanese Paper Says Removal of Racial Discrimination Is Important to Avoidance of Wars in Future TOYKO.-The Koumin Shimbun, discussing President Wilson's proposed league of nations, doubts whether such a league will be able to maintain the peace of the world against an ambitious and mighty nation. It says that while Mr. Wilson proposes the removal of economic walls and restrictions of armament as necessary factors, according to a similar line of reasoning it must be argued that the removal of racial discrimination is important to the future preservation of the world's peace. INFLUENZA VICTIMS USUALLY UNDER 30; ACTUARY ASSERTS INFLUENZA VICTIMS USUALLY UNDER 30; ACTUARY ASSERTS Expert With 86.828 Deaths Reported Says 13 Per Cent Died From Influenza and 87 Per Cent From Pneumonia PERSONS OVER 55 YEARS OLD NEARLY IMMUNE The Life Insurance Presidents Listen To Facts Compiled From Forty-Four Large Cities of the U. S. New York, Dec. 10.—The Spanish influenza epidemic which swept over this country during the autumn "stole" millions of the best years of life from American manhood and womanhood. Henry Moir, an insurance authority of this city, declared here today. The average economic loss of active life in each case of death from the malady or its aftermath was at least twenty-five years, said Mr. Moir, emphasizing the peculiarity of the epidemic, which found most of its victims under 30 years of age, as compared with the average life of 55 and 60 years of persons insured in well established companies. Addressing the Association of Life Insurance Presidents, Mr. Molr, who is president of the Actural Society of America, described how the epidemic had dislocated the standard mortality experience of the insurance companies in the past fifteen years. With no pestilence taking toll of lives in the United States and Canada, during that period, he said, the standards of health of persons under 50 were found to be much better than at any recorded time in the past. But the influenza epidemic, causing 86,838 deaths in forty-four large cities in eight weeks, or an average of four of every 1,000 of the population, he added, had brought a new element into the situation. Investigation of claims before several large insurance companies, he declared, showed that 13 per cent of the deaths were due to influenza and 37 per cent to pneumonia following influenza, while less than 2 per cent were of persons over 55 years, as against 80 per cent under 40 and 60 per cent under 35. From these figures, the actuary said, it was apparent that the age of maximum virulence of the epidemic had been under 30, taking the young and vigorous—"those whom we expected to undertake much of the world's work." Mr. Moir warned the public that there is no assurance that the danger is past. "We learn," he said, "that influenza is now revisiting Europe and this time there are indications that it may be more objectionable than the milder form of midsummer. We should therefore take warning from this recurrence and observe watchful care to prevent the further infection, since the disease has distinctly decreased and seems to be dying out in this country."

GERMAN ARMY WANTS KAISER TO COME BACK AMSTERDAM—General von Elsa has announced that the German army will never countenance a socialist republic, and wants the kaiser back, according to a dispatch from Brunswick received today. The oftener a woman gets left, the more she talks about her rights. ARIZONA'S GREATEST WEEKLY PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1918 A foreign observer, commenting on the fact that our rather complicated double system of federal and state laws works smoothly, concluded that this was because Americans are a legal-minded people. This belief is confirmed, after a fashion, by a western lawyer, who asserts, that the rank and file of our population have worked out a code of what has been called "curbstone" law. Many are convinced that these are firmly established legal principles, but, as a matter of fact, they are not set forth in any of our statutes or court decisions. Thousands are amazed to find these "unwritten laws" do not exist. It is generally believed that there is a special and very severe, penalty for striking a man wearing eyeglasses, and many a man who deserved a thrashing has probably escaped it for this reason. It is possible to evade even this "law," however, as is shown by the case of a bespectacled boarder who had spoken harshly to his landlady. Just as her husband drew back his trusty right, she cried: "Don't hit him He wears glasses!" Her spouse paused, plucked the spectacles from the nose of his opponent and then proved to him that one shouldn't Baltimore, Md., Dec. 7 — Wednesday evening at the Pennsylvania Union station there was a great concourse of people, anxiously awaiting the departure of the trains bound for their anticipated destination, or gladly returning from their trips. In this great crowd there were hundreds of soldiers — white and colored — private and officers. All of them appeared jovial and happy and the crowd apparently was a good-natured set. The eyes of this great concourse, especially civilians, scanned the soldiers delightfully as they moved to and fro and seemed the liveliest bunch ever congregated at any similar place on any like occasion. But the eyes of the crowd ceased to scane a certain soldier—an officer, returned from France—they verily scrutinized him, for upon his breast he wore a string of varied war decorations including the Croix de Guerre, the British war decoration, the American war medal, etc., which literally extended from one side to the other, and the officer who wore these decorations was a Negro; and the decorations were a stern reminder to the crowd which gazed on, that the Negroes of America were on the firing line and "made good" while there; it also bore testimony in support of the Negro troops of America were the closest troops on the heels of the kaiser when the armistice was signed. To Keep Chickens at Home If Hens Develop Tendency to Fly Over Fence, Flight Feathers Should Be Clipped (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture) A yard surrounded by a five-foot fence will, under most conditions, keep chickens at home. If the hens show a tendency to fly over such a fence, the flight feathers of one wing should be clipped. A fence made of woven wire is preferable to a fence made of board or other material. A board should not be used at the top of a wire fence as this gives the hens a visible place to alight and tends to teach them to fly over. The larger the yard which can be provided the more contented the hens will be. It not only gives them greater opportunity to exercise, but often makes it possible to maintain a sod on the yard which is advisable. insult a wife when her husband is present. "I can't go on the stand," said a policeman who had witnessed a lively street battle; "I saw it through glass." He had been sitting behind a window during the affray and believed that even if he had seen a murder committed from such a position his testimony would be valueless. Many a man has tried to break a will, thinking it void because at least a dollar had not been bequeathed to each child of the deceased. To these may be added the following list of "curbstone" statutes. A receipt given on Sunday or signed with a lead pencil is worthless; if you dun a man on Sunday, you cancel your bill; the same thing happens if you ask him over the telephone to please remit, while there is widespread confusion to evictions and garnishees. Some believe that every man has a right to call on a public prosecutor to handle any legal matter, such as collecting a bill, which needs attention, thereby saving a lawyer's fee. There is also a general conviction that a woman's word carries more weight in court than a man's. The effect of a few tears on a male jury is, perhaps, responsible for this. London, Dec. 7.—Hundreds of persons are dying daily in Vienna of starvation, according to a special dispatch from that city to the Express dated Monday and received today. The food supply, it is estimated will not last more than three weeks. The residents of Vienna appear like human wrecks with their bones protruding and their eyes shrunken, the dispatch says. Sixty thousand stand in line every day at the ten public kitchens where each receive a pint of soup made of rotten cabbake, boiled in washtubs. The Sunday ration consists of soup and horsedoeh. The dead are buried in paper coffins. In addition to the food shortage there is only enough coal to last a fortnight. The residents are collecting arms and violence is feared. They blame the Hungarians, who are believed to have plenty of food. Enon Kisch, Jewish journalist and commander of the Red Guard which was originally 7,000 strong, but now numbers only 800, says the worst fear of the authorities is Bolshevism. Former Crown Princess Reported Heart Broken Former Crown Princess Reported Heart Broken Amsterdam, Dec. 8.—Cecilie, the former German Crown Princess, assembled her household attendants in the throne room of her castle at Potsdam Sunday according to advices received here today and addressed them as follows: "You know how things have turned out. The time to separate has now come. I hope you will entertain pleasant remembrances of us. My heart breaks. Farewell, my trusted friends. May God bless you." The weeping princess shook hands with each and presented them with small gifts saying, "I can't give more for the present." Cecilie plans to visit her sister, the Queen of Denmark, and will reside permanently with her children near Copenhagen, close to her mother, the grand duchess Anastasia. The former kaiserin is said to be so seriously ill that the doctors oppose her journey to join the former kaiser who is telegraphing daily for her to come. TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE WILL HOLD ANNUAL CONFERENCE JAN.22-3 Large Attendance is Foreshadowed Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Dec. 11. The Twenty-eighth Annual Tuskegee Negro Conference will be held at Tuskegee Institute beginning Wednesday, January 22, 1919, and concluded Thursday, January 23. The conference opens with the annual conference of Negro farmers, at which time the subject: "Meeting the Needs of the farmer in the After-War Situation" will be discussed. The Annual Workers' Conference on Thursday, January 23, will have for the general topic: "Education and Occupations in the After-War Situation." In commenting on the conference, Dr. R. R. Moton, Principal, said: "The conclusion of the terrible war brings the whole world face to face with the problem of adjustment and reconstruction. It is therefore fitting and appropriate that the discussions of the Conference this year should be confined generally to the subjects having a direct bearing on the present situation. The history of the conference, which was organized by Tuskegee's founder and first principal, is a definite and constructive contribution to the material progress of the Negro race in the South, and what ever helps the Negro helps the South. We shall put forth every effort to secure if possible some reductions in railroad rates for the accomodation of the delegates and every indication points to a large attendance in January." FLAGSTAFF (By Reginald Jackson) (Scrolled out last week) Mr. and Mrs. Edward Fields entertained Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Boyler on Thanksgiving day at a swell turkey dinner. After dinner the party attended the movies and enjoyed a fine picture. Now that the "flu" ban will be lifted Sunday, Dec. 8. we shall be privileged to attend church services. The readers of the Tribune are truly glad to know that the staff has recovered from the "flu." Every one gave the Tribune a hearty welcome. A delightful Thanksgiving dinner was greatly enjoyed at Sheppard's Cafe by a jolly party of seven. The dinner consisted of turkey with oyster dressing, fruit salad, mince pie, caramel cake and egg float and good old homemade wine. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Walter Davis, Mr. George Cowdon, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Davis and son and daughter. The guests were delightfully entertained with music from the Victrola, Miss Mary Sheppard manipulating the machine. "Why We Observe the Day" was interestingly explained by Mr. M. E. Sheppard, a noted historian. Afternoon callers were Miss Alberta Thornton, a charming young lady of Kansas City, Mo. and Andrew Fuller. The sportsmen of Flagstaff, you may guess, were out on a rabbit hunt Thanksgiving day and their wives went on a man hunt the next day. The men, having a break-down or freeze-out, were forced to spend the night in the forest. The women became alarmed, hired a car and went out to find their husbands. After going a few miles they came upon the abandoned car with twenty rabbits in it, but no men. The ladies returned home feeling very sad and blue and they were nearly frozen, too. Mrs. Walter Davis was confined to her bed a few days last week, but is now able to be out again. Word received from Albuquerque, N. M., informs us of the death of Miss Williams in that city. She was attacked with influenza and succumbed to the ravages of that disease. Miss Williams was well and favorably known in Flagstaff. She was the second woman to care for Mr. G. J. Ful- Effects of Fear In Children Condemnation administered by the parent to the child, is nothing more nor less than FEAR ADMINISTERED IN HOMEOPATHIC DOSES; and everybody knows that fear will not only paralyze the mind, but the body also; that it will make the hair stand on end, will send the blood back on the heart, turn the face pale, and even kill. The only difference between the fear that kills the body and the fear that kills or dims the child's free flow of LOVING KINDNESS is the difference between a big dose and a little dose of the same DRUG. Little condemnation often enough repeated will in time equal one big dose of condemnation. A tiny dose of fear—fear that the little one may offend mother or father, or that the little one may be slapped, for following the impulse of the moment, fear that it will fall, fear that the policeman will get him, or that the bogie man will catch him if he don't watch him—little doses of fear, repeated often enough, will eventually equal the big dose of fear that kills mind, or body, or both.—Elizabeth Towne, in December Nautilus. ler's family. All Flagstaff mours the loss of this valuable lady. Mrs. Lizzie Buckner returned home last week after a short stay in Santa Barbara, Cal. Mrs. Buckner said, "Arizona for mine." Will Celebrate Emancipation Day The people of Flagstaff will endeavor or to celebrate January 1, 1919, our real emancipation day with a program at St. John's Baptist church at 8 p.m. Through the prayers of our forefathers and mothers we were liberated from slavery some fifty-six years ago. The same God who heard their cries then will hear our cry now. The Negro shed his blood in the Civil War and he shed his blood in the world war which has just ended. He stands ready to shed his blood for any cause that will hasten world democracy. With prayer and thanksgiving to the Ruler of the universe, we await our reward. WINSLOW (By Emma Lindell) Mr. J. N. Burkhardt left the 4th instant for Normal, Ill., to be at the beside of his brother, Frank, who is reported seriously ill. Mr. Gibson left Friday for Houston, Texas, to join his wife. The younger set of Winslow have recently organized a whist club, Mr. Bloice is president, Mr. McCool is secretary and treasurer. We certainly welcome this organization because social life in Winslow has been quite dull. Mr. J. N. Burkhardt received a letter from Fred Jones, who left here last spring and is now with the American expeditionary forces in France. His letter, in part, was as follows: "Do you remember our last Thanksgiving at the Grand Canyon? I believe that we just had crackers and bacon to eat. Well, old boy, when I see you again: we shall talk over old times, but this is my wash day and I can't spare any more time, I will close. As ever, your friend, Pvt. Fred Jones, Co. L, 805th Pioneer Infantry, A. E. F., via New York." Oh, Freddy, don't say: "Just crackers and bacon," we poor ones can hardly get that over here; its seventy-five cents a pound." The Colored church of Winslow had a meeting Sunday for the first time since the flu ban has been lifted. Miss Cleo Wilson presided over the Sunday school. Mr. William Reynolds left Sunday for Houston, Texas, where he will spend Xmas with friends. After the holidays he will proceed to Altoona, Penn. Mrs. Annette Burkhardt has been ill for the past week with pneumonia. Her mother, Mrs. E. W. Forrest of Phoenix, and her grandmother, Mrs. Annie Roberts of Prescott, spent Sunday with her. She is much improved and getting along nicely. 5 Cents a Copy; $2 a Year Y FLU Cease 300,000 DEATHS WERE CAUSED BY INFLUENZA HEALTH REPORTS SHOW WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.—Between 300,000 and 350,000 deaths from influenza and pneumonia have occurred among the civilian population of the United States since September 15, according to estimates today of the public health service. These calculations were based on reports from cities and states keeping accurate records and public health officials believe they are conservative. The epidemic still persists, but deaths are much less numerous, according to reports reaching here. Insurance companies have been hard hit by the epidemic, government reports indicate, although there are no figures available here to show total losses sustained by the companies. The government incurred liabilities of more than $170,000,000 in connection with life insurance carried by soldiers in army camps, not including those in Europe. About 20,000 deaths occurred in the camps in the United States war department records show. PRAYS THAT GOD WILL DAMN GERMAN PEOPLE CLEVELAND. — Not irreverently, but with much feeling, Dr. W. H. Crawford, president of Allegheny college, brought "Amens" from the throats of 2,000 Methodist divines in this city when he prayed fervently for "God to damn the German empire." He had just returned from a year and a half of service with the Y. M. C. A. on the western front. MEAT FOR PEACE DELEGATES COST $2.50 A POUND President Poincare to Entertain Delegates with Chicago Meat CHICAGO, Dec. 10.—Chicago meat at $2.50 a pound will grace the table at President Poincare's dinner to the peace delegates in Paris. Thomas E. Wilson, president of Wilson & Co. packers, announced today that he had bought Fyfle Knight, grand champion yearling steer, for $3,350 and will ship the beef to President Poincare with his compliments. The steer was raised at Purdue University, Lafayette, Ind. THE DENTIST'S DREAM The dentist has his troubles. After working on a woman who had an extravagant coiffure to impede his progress and handcap his manipulations, Dr. Pullen (right name withheld by advertising department), sighed his relief and motioned for her to arise. The woman pulled herself together, looked into a mirror and then again seated herself in the chair. "I am all through with your teeth," the dentist told her. "I know," the woman answered, "but aren't you going to fix up my hair?""-Youngstown Telegram. IT LOOKED SUSPICIOUS Old Jenkins was mad with rage. For twelve months he had taken the plate round at the local church every Sunday. Now someone else had been asked to perform the duty. "I consider I have been grossly insulted," he said to a friend. "But," said the latter, "I don't think there is any bad feeling toward you." "I don't know about that," roared Jenkins, "but it looks very suspicious. The fellow has asked to do the job has only got one arm." Bill had a billboard. Bill also had a board bill. The board bill bored Bill so that Bill sold the billboard to pay his board bill. So, after Bill sold his billboard to pay his board bill, the board bill no longer bored Bill.

Divisional commanders of the expeditionary forces have been warm in their praise of the military qualities of the colored soldiers. American negroes have proved themselves true sons of the colored troops who fought 80 gallantly in the Civil war; black men have been awarded American, French and British decorations for valor in the field. German propaganda not only failed to incite negroes to resist the draft; it was impotent against the loyalty of colored workmen. At home as well as at the battle front the negroes stuck to their jobs and helped to make victory possible. But there is another side of the picture—a shameful one. In a recent speech before the Wisconsin Bar association Moorfield Storey, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, pointed out the fact that while negro soldiers were giving up their lives in the battle for democracy members of their race were being slaughtered by gangs of ruffians at home. Since this country entered the war, Mr. Storney declared. 243 negro men, women and children have been killed and lynched by mobs. In addition to these cases 175 men, women and children were tortured, burned and killed at East St. Louis in July, 1917. At East St. Louis twenty white and ten colored men were given prison terms; in all other instances the murderers have gone unpunished, One lynching, not included in those enumerated by Mr. Storey, did bring official notice. It was that of Robert Prager, a German, murdered by & mob fn Ilinois. Immediately following that crime the attorney general of the United States issued a statement denouncing mob law and calling for the punishment of the perpetrators. The cabinet held a lengthy discus- sion of the effects of the Prager killing; as the Crisis, a negro publication, put it, “A German is lynched and the cabinet holds a four-hour session over it. Since 1885, 4,000 negroes have been lynched in the United States. No cabinet ever met for four minutes over them.” Mr. Storey’s speech was made as part of a national campaign to influ- ence popular opinion throughout the country on the subject. As Mr. Storey explains, the fact that most of the lynchings take place in the South does not make the problem a sectional one; the shame is national, and the only way to prevent a repitition of the horrors. is through educational propaganda. So Tong as iynchers are allowed to go unpunished this country will not have fully achieved those high ideals for which so many of her sons have laid down their lives—Denver Times.

Mrs. T. J. White, the recipient of this poem, has three sons in France. The poem follows: - Dear mother, when I read each tender phrase, Each throbbing line of love you write to me, ‘My heart grows sad, and oft’ I count the days Until at last I shall sail o’er the sea Back, back to you and home and all I love. And once I cursed the fate that placed me here But lo! I caught a vision from above That steeled my heart with patience, mother dear, Before my thought were dark with fancied wrongs, ‘Of plans miscarried and of work undone, y I heard faint echos of the old home songs, And glimpsed. your loving faces one by one. I knew your troubles—that I could not ease, T suffered at the worry in your heart, T-longed to rest my head upon your knees, And feel my bitter loneliness depart. To me the war had brought out bitterness; Brought discipline—that cut me to the raw. And acts unjust that promised no redress, , Beneath the changeless military law, All through the days I heard the homing call; I saw your pleading eyes and heard your voice. I prayed to come, I prayed to cheer you all, And in reunion let our hearts rejoice, All useless seemed the changeless game we played, Of endless, unremiting ‘drill, It seemed twould be far better had I stayed At home with you, who love and need me still. And then I caught a vision from the skies ‘Of why we fight and suffer and are sad I saw the reason for our sacrifice, And seeing lo’ my heart grew strong and glad; ‘That I was in the ranks to fight and die, If need be for the millions yet unborn! I saw the Belgian women as they lie! ‘The spoils of Hunish lust, undone and torn! Their children lifting mutilated arms, And babies caught upon the bayonet; Their aged moters, slaving upon the farms, “fo feed the German hordes unconquered yet! I saw the helpless sinking in the waves, While German sailors laughed to see them die; I saw a row of new-made baby graves And distant aircraft slinking in the sky; I saw the towns of desolated France, ‘The fruiting trees destroyed in senseless hate! Oh! Mother, these I saw as in a trance, And others that my lips dare not relate! Oh! ‘Think if we had lived in Belgium then! It France had been our home! Oh! God on high, To picture you the toy of brutish men, Our homes destroyed, my loved ones left to die! I see, I see at last, the reason why We must forget the little things of life.
