FIGHT ON GRIP IS URGED BY PRESIDENT
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.—80 high
has ecome the death toll of Spanish
infiuenza in the army and navy and
citizenry of this country that the Sur
geon General of the army this after
ncon issued rules to observe in avoid
ing the disease.
President Wilson urged that the di
rections be distributed widely
throughout the countrq.
The directions follow:
HOW TO STRENGTHEN OUR
PERSONAL DEFENSE AGAINST
SPANISH INFLUENZA:
l—Avoid needless crowding—in
fluenza is a crowd disease.
2-~Bmother your coughs and
sneezes—others do not want the
germs which you would throw
away.
3--Your nose, not your mouth,
was made to breathe through-—get
the habit.
4—Remember the three “(C's"—a
clean mouth, clean skin, and clean
clothes.
5. Try to keep ecool when you
walk and warm when you ride and
sleep.
6. Open the windows, always, at
home at night; at the office when
practicable,
7. Food—Help by choosing and
chewing your food well.
8. Your fate may be in your own
hands—wash your hands before
eating.
9. Don't let the waste product ol
digestion accumulate—drink a glass
or two of water on getting up.
10. Don't use a napkin, towel,
spoon, fork, glass or cup which has
been used by another person and
not washed.
1. Avoid tight clothes, tight
shoes, tight gloves—seek to make
nature your ally, not your prisoner.
12. When the air is pure breathe
all of it you can—breathe deeply.

The Fulton County tax rate for 1919
will be the same as for the current year

only has decided not to raise the rate,

nurses’ dormitory at Grady Hospital,
This important business was trans
acted at noon Saturday by the County

be a most welcome hoon to the eity,

ceptance of the ald to Grady Hospital
which is practically assured-—will
mean some radical changes In the

WASHINGTON Sept. 21.-—-With the
White House withholding the expect
ed announcement regarding cotton
price fixing Southern Senators and
Representatives continued today their
efforts to prevent any action by the
President.
They were unable to carry their
point, however. Officials believe the
President will take action in the very
near future to stabilize prices of the
staple. He has all of the facts be
fore him and is expected to take ac
tion as soon as certain details can
be cleared up.
The situgtion naturally is a most
delicate un?~ The Southern Senators
and Representatives control Con
gress, If they so desired they could
hold up the administration's legisla
tive program. They have carried
word to the President that they be
lieve price fixing so far as cotton is
concerned is unnecessary and would
bridge the rights of the Southern
Slanter.
The President is anxious, if possi
ble, to arrange a program that will
meel the objections of the Southern
officials, while at the same time sta
bilizing the cotton market so that the
Government and its allies may secure
necessary materials at a fair rate of
cost, The unsatisfactory condition
of the cotton market cgused by the
enormous damage done to the crop
adds to the complication, Neverthe
less, officials believe that the Presi
dent will act in the very near future.
Reports were current that he al
ready had decided on his plan and
prepared a statement explaining it,
but at the White House officials this
afternoon said they could not say
anything about the matter,

ATLANTA, GA., MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1918
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.—After
wrestling for more than two months
with the problem of Christmas gifts
for soldiers, the War Department an
nounced today that each member of
the overseas forces might receive just
one package from home,
As late as yesterday officials of the
department indicatee that because of
the lack of s=hipping space and the
congestion of the mall service it
would be necessary to rule against
sending parcels to Pershing's men,
and the decision to allow just one for
each, under certain restrictions, was
said to be in the nature of a com
promise between those who favored
unlimited Yuletide shipments for the
Yanks and those who believed that
the best policy would be to limit re
membrances to post card greetings
and special lgtters.
Announcement that the latter pol
icy probably would be adopted re
sulted in an avalanche of protests to
the War Department, with the result
“that the one-package schedule” was
officially adopted,
In order to insure delivery of the
gifts to the =oldlers on Christmas
Day, the packages must be mailed on
or before November 15. Packages
must be shipped in standard contain.
ers, which will be supplied upon ap
plication to the local Red Cross chape«
ters, it is stated.
To insure the one-package rule be
ing followed, a coupon bhearing the
name and correct address ol each
soldler now serving in France will be
sent over by General Pershing. The
coupon will entitle the sender at home,
to mail the packages.
Wilson Urges Hurry
On Emergency Bill
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, Sept, 21.-President
Wilson today urged the emergency pow
er bill “pressed to passage.'’
In a letter received by Chairman
Sims, of the House Interstate commerce
committee, after the bill had been side
tracked by the House despite an ef
fort by Sims to secure early considera
tion of it, the President stated
“In view of the possibility of three
day adjournments by the House and
the absence of a quorum from the city,
I venture to write you thés hurried note
to urge that the emergency power bill
be presged to passage, If possible before
adjournment, as it is of capital and im
mediate importance as a war measure,
I h"l)w that it will be possible for you
to obtain the consent of the House to
this action.'

By DELT EDWARDS,
Staff Correspondent of I. N. 8. -
LONDON, Aug. 30 (by mail).—Fried
rich Austerlitz, an Austrian writer of
substance, makes the startling and pub
lic statement that Germany now stands
at the parting of the ways in Austria.
The Austrian Empire is doomed in its
present form, is his verdiet.
The German and non-German ele
ments, he declares, are maintaining ab
solutely irreconcilable positions—the
former standing rooted in privilege and
reaction; the latter in democracy and
freedom.
Mr, Austerlitz follows in remarkable
degree a thought parallel with that
which must have been in the mind of
President Wilson when he recommend
ed a declaration ‘of war against Aus
tria-Zunghry in his remarkable speech
to the joint congress in December last.
Mr. Austerlitz’'s articles were published
in the current number of Kampf and
are quoted in the Vienna Arbiter Zeit
ung, much significance being attached
to the fact that the articles were per
mitted to be published at all.
President Wilson waited eight months
after the declaration of war on Ger
many before he took similar steps with
regard to Austria. He felt that Austria
was merely ““the instrument of another
nation” and that her people did not
want war. There was much sympathy
in America for Austria and her people
because it was realized that she was
being dragged into the conflict by Ger
many and her own pro-German ele
ment, And the German elements sway
ed the weakening country.
Dr. Constantin Dumba, the Austrian
Ambassador, was caught in the net of
intrigue, plots and disorders long before
Count Von Bernstorff, the German Am
bassador, was trapped. The complete
machinations of officlal German-Aus
trla were revealed, and Secretary of
State Lansing made the formal request
that Duunba be recalled,
With war declared on Germany, the
attitude of German-Austria grew to he
such that, in President Wilson's view,
there was no alternative,
“Austria-Hungary is for the time be
ing not her own mistress, but simply
the vassal of the German Government,"
sald the President in his address. “We
must face the facts as they are and act
upon them without gentiment in this
stern business. The Government of
Austia-Hungary is not acting upon its
own initiative or in response to the
wishes and feelings of its own peoples,
but as the instrument of another na
tion." ‘
And Mr. Austerlitz expresses the cone.
viction that Austria must free her peo
ple. The State dares not favor either
the Germans or non-Germans at the!
expense of the other; nor can It retain
the loyalty of either side without ,\mlls-}
fying its demands, he says. The Ger
mans regard the Austrian Empire as
something necessary in their flight; lhu‘
non-Germans look upon a change as an |
indispensable condition Mr. Austerlitz
argues that it I 8 strange Germany
|
should show such a fanatie devotion to
the prineciple of nationality in Poland,
Finland and the Ukraine, and stop |
short at the Austrian border He re
futes the argument that the subject
States have thriven because they form- |
ed part of a great and noble whole;
that Austria has fostered their growth
and If left to themselves would lapse
into a lower level of civilization
“A federated State,” sas Ms Aus
terlitz, “‘can be a mornl form of the
union of natfons But only if it is a
union of free peoples, a union which
is not content with secking its justifi
cation in the past and basing its exist
ence on force." ‘
He holds up the new Russian demo
cratic republics as true examples of
what a federated State should be He
asserts that the Germans can lther |
conform to the ideal, or they can '-fo
haust themselves In the gtruggle to re«
main the predominant nation—a strug
gle foredoomed to fallure because it is
contrary to nature and reason 1
"“The tragedy is that Austria and Ger
many are blind to the fact Up to now
they have refused to contemplate a real,
creative nailonal policy, and hence the
criglg has no solution compatible with
the continued existence of the present
empire
““Austria can not remailn as it is, for
many national and all democeratic ne
cessities fight against it Hence there
is only one right national policy ~that
which has no consideration of ‘Austria.’ |
Such consideration would have to do
with a dying effete Austria, and would
hinder the hirth of & new Austriag,
which must be a better one. Free nu
tions can ereate it; enslaved pecples
ean no longer be her footstool.”
Issued daily and entered as second-class matter at
the postoffice at Atlanta under act of March 8, 1870,
|
Women students will be admitted
to the University of Georgia and the
Peabody School, beginning Septem
beér 1, of the 1519-20' gchool term.
With orly two dissenting votes the
board of trustees of the university,
which met Saturday at the State
Capitol, voted to put the school on a
co-educational basis. While the terms
of the resolution adopted specified
only the agricultural and mechanical
departments and the Peabody Insti
tute, it is taken to mean that young
women wiil be allowed the privilege
of the entire curriculum.
The measure was not adopted with
out ‘oppposition, ex-Governor Nat E.
Harris and Henry Goetcheus, of Co
lumbus, leading the oppesition. Mr.
Harris maintained that the trustees
had no authority to make any change
in the organic law of the institution,
!whir‘h. he said, intended that only
male students be admitted
George F. Gober, who brought the
matter up for consideration, declared
| that the law provided for the admission
of all white youths, and that the’ term
| youths applied to females as well as
Emales.
! Governor Harris For Delay.
l Mr. Harris later introduced a reso
'lution to postpone action until the
annual meeting of the board next June,
basing his grounds for delay on the
fact that ex-Governor Joseph E. Brown,
Judge Adams, of SBavannah, and other
lmombu-rfi of the board were not pres
{ent, and that steps taken in their ab
fsenm- would not be fair to them.
' H¢ further pointed out that greater
! demands will be made on the university
*for the training of young men for mili
{ tary service, and that females should
inm be admitted, without a knowledge of
iromllhnns which will exist at the date
the new law is scheduled to go into ef
‘fvt'l.
| This argument was met with the as
| surance that the board of trustees, at
{i:.« June meeting, will have authority
| to delay the effectiveness of the reso
ilutmn, ¢, in their judgment, general
| conditions and the tax on the univer
sity facliities do not warrant the ad
mission of women at that time
‘ Governor Dorsey for Change.
| Mr. Harris stated that he was in fa
{ vor of putting the unjversity on a co
'mlw‘.nlnnul basis, but that immediate
action was precipitate and that noth
ing should be done until a full member
ship of the board was assembled to pass
upon the question, Governor Dorsey
I'-\x-r»-sm-ll himself in favor of the
| change.
| After the resolution to postpone ac
ltiun was lost by a vote of nine to five,
lllw board adopted the following resolu
| tlon over the dissenting vote of two
| members:
! “Resolved, That the agricultural and

WASHINGTON, Septi’2l.—Repre
sentative Johnson, of Washington, re
centyl commissioned a captain in the
chemical warfare service, in making
his final address in the House before
joining the army, declared that “dur
ing the war all patriotic political par
ties must write their platform with
one plank paramount—“win the war.”
Johnson, who wore his newly ac
quired captai's uniform, also said:
“When the war is won, platform
making will be resumed, and the
principal planks will deal with meth
ods of raising war revenue, 1 believe
an important plank in the Republi
can party platform will declare
against the various ‘isms’ which have
come forward lately either under war
necessity or under skillful fostering
by pramoters and propagandists. A
gentleman high in public office—in
fact, the asszistant to a Cabinet Sec
retary-—speaking recently in the Pa
cific Northwest, said: ‘Let it soak
into your minds that internationalism
is the idea that America stands for
now.'
“] ean/mot agree with him. Ameri
canism is what America stands for
now. He said further: ‘lt may be
that before this thing is ended na
tionalism versus Internationalism will
be the biggest issue.’
“If that is true, I can predict the
attitude of the Republican party. We
want no Bolshevism and do not pro
pose to reach it by any steps toward
