He was also suspected of the criminal assault He was carried before. Mrs. Childress, who was of the opinion that he was not-the right man. He was held for carrying a pistol and the search for. the right man contin ued. Sunday afternoon about 2 o'clock, or shortly before, a crowd began assemb ling in front of the poUce ball and later demanded the negro.'.

However, on learn ing that the boys were arming them selves, the report being greatly ex aggerated and to the effect that mob was preparing for a drive through the negro section, the negroes broke Into pawn shops and stores and se cured a plentiful-supply of guns and ammunition. With the coming of twilight the flr ing became more intense, especially in the vicinity of tbe passenger station and up the street toward the city. halt, Negroes behind buildings and in homes shot into the streets and white men and boys turned loose their ammuni tion In the direction of any spurt of flame. The electric storm, and ac companying downpour, put the city In. to darkness and this sdded to the dis turbance. Reports 'were current that' the ne groes were assembling and . that concerted rush was to soon be made up the principal streets leading from the negro section. The gattllng gun, recently secured by the guards for such an emergency, was brought out and stationed at the square, so she musxle could be trained down either ot the streets on a second's notice. Several thousand cartridges were placed and the gun loaded tor action. HappHy. .however, there was ho oc casion to -use this formidable weapon.

By the President of the United States of America, . It has long been our custom to turn in the autumn of the year in praise and thanksgiving to Almighty God tor His many blessings and mercies to us as a nation. This year we have special and moving cause to be grateful and to rejoice. God has, in His good pleas ure given ue peace. It has not come as a mere cessation of arms, a mere relief from the strain and tragedy of war. It bias come as a great tnumpn of right. Complete victory has brought us, not peace' alone, but the confident promise of a new day as well, In which justice shall replace force and Jealous intrigue among tbe notions. Our gal lant armies have participated in a tri umph whdeh is not marred or stained by any purpose of selfish aggression. In a rigbtous cause they have won Immortal glory and have nobly served their notion in serving mankind. God has Indeed been gracious. We have cause for such rejoicing as revives and strengthens in us all the best tradl (ions of our national history. A new day shines about us, in which our hearts take new courage and look for ward with new hope to new and great er duties. 1 While we render thanks for these things, let us not forget to seek the divine guidance in the performance of those duties, and divine mercy and forgiveness tor aid errors of act or purpose, and pray that in all we do we shall strengthen the ties of friend' ship and mutual respect upon which we must assist to build the new struc ture of peace and good will among the Mrtkme. Wherefore, I,- Woodrow Wilson, President ot the United States ot America, do hereby designate Thurs day, the twenty-eighth day of Novem ber next day of thanksgivUng and prayer, and invite tine people through out the land to cease upon that day from their ordinary occupations and in their several homes and places of Influenza triouc cwisens snm rropyiw w i worshln to render thanks to God, the sgaaTa,.Mi,. soon have the names of all who have fallen, and it behooves .us, to get busy and honor "The great Army that died." Premier Clemenceau after reading the terms of the armistice before the French Chamber of Deputies, said: Let us honor the great army that died." In that moving phrase hs spoke tbe Inmost feelings not only of million ot French men and women out of the peoples of all the Allied nations that ahsred in winning Ore war. .. It is a lime for universal rejoicing that tbe shedding of brood os the bat tle-fields of Europe has ceased. It Is also a tkne for reverent tribute to the men who gave their Uvea that the right should prevail. They have made the supreme sacrifice. To them has been denied the reward of Joining in the final triumph and exaltation over victory. They have passed, teyoM in witness wnereor, i nave nereun to set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done in the district of Columbia this sixteenth day of November in the year of our (Lord one thousand, nine hun dred and eighteen and of the Indepen dence of the United States of America the one hundred and forty-third.

The recent epidemic of Influenza in the United States caused more deaths than occurred among" ithe American expeditionary forces from all causes from the time the first unit landed in France until hostilities ceased. This announcement Sunday by the census bureau was based on unofficial estimate of the total casualties among the overseas forces and reports from 46 cities having a combined popula tion of 23,000,000,' Which showed 82, 306 deaths from influenza and pneu monia from September 9 to November NormaUBy these cities would have had 4,000 deaths from these causes during this period, it was said, leaving approxknaitely 78,000, as the number properly chargeable to the epidemic "The total casualties in the Ameri can expeditionary forces," said the an nouncement, "have recently been un officially estimated at 100,000., On the basis of the number thus far reported, ft may be assumed the deaths from all oausee, including disease and acci dents, are probably lees .than 45 per cent, and may not be more than 10 per cent, of the total casualties. On this assumption, the loss of life in the American expeditionary forces to date in about 40,000 or 45,000." ... , The total of deaths due to the iuflu enza epidemic in this country is not known) the announcement satd, as only the 46 cities tor which figures were given report vital etatHstios to the census bureau. The 'greatest mor tality due to tbe epidemic, in propor tion to population, was 7.4 per thous and in Philadelphia and the next great est, 6.7 per thousand was reported from Bastkmore. ' The Boys Are Coning Home." Secretary of War, Hon.. Newton D.

Two hundred thousand of these boys will be returned borne within the next two weeks, and after that it is sched uled to return 30,000 home each day. The convalescent wounded, including many men who would have returned to the battle front had war continued, will be returned from Francs imme diately, Secretary Baker in a cablegram sent to General Pershing, ot the Amer ican expeditionary Force In France, says: INow that a respite has come in a solemn task to which the army devoted itself, the War Department will do ail In Its power to expedite the early return of the Expeditionary Force to the United States, in order that tbe country may welcome its sol' fliers home, .and in order that, these soiuiera may toe Tesrorea to tne up ot Lyeenss Attraction Tonight The VenoHaa Trio will give an en tentaiomeat under the auspices ot the local flr department at the Graded School aadbtoriura tonight at ,8:30 o'clock.

It is the program of the admlnis tratlon In Washington to return the eohMers home gradually so as not to demoralize business of labor condi tions in this country. It is generally understood that the returned soldiers shall have prefer ence In positions with the manufac turers and business men of this coun try.
