Knoxville Board of Com
merce Plans Trade
Extension Trip.

One hundard Knoxville bust
ness men will visit sections of
Kentucky, North Carolina, Vir-
ginia, and East Tennessee be-
tween April IL and IA. This
party will represent all of the
biggest commercial and indust-
rial organizations in Knoxville.
Manufacturers, bankers, whole
salers, retailers and professional
men have arranged to go onknox-
ville's first trade trip. A special
train will be secured to accom-
modate the Knoxville trade build
ers. The committee in charge
has announced that every effort
will be made to make the trip of
mutual advantage to business
men of Knoxville and the bu-i-
ness men of the forty-three towns
which will be visi Led. The Knox
vile Board of Commerce has ar
ranged the tour so that the men,
bers may come in personal touch
with the business men through
out Knoxville's trade territory.
One of the slogans of the party
is Get Acc tainted. Stress has
been laid upon the fact that the
men who will make this trip are
Just as anxious to bay as they are
to sell. This is the first tour of
the kind ever undertaken by the
Knoxville Board of Commerce
and it is expected to be prohta-
BILE to both the visitors and the
visited.
The personnel of the party is
made up OF the most prominent
men of Knoxville. Practically
every big enterprise in that CITY
has signified its intention of hav-
ing a representative make the
four days trip on the special train
Commercial bodies in many of
the towns and cities to be visited
have already arranged aprogram
for the entertainment of the Wis
itors. These programs include
banquets automobile tours, par
ades. speech makings and hand
shakings galore. Committees in
other towns are planning novel
ways to get acquainted in the
shortest time. The Knoxville
Committee are delighted with en-
thusiasm which the announce
ment of the trade trip schedule
he's created. Every effort is be-
ing made by them to cooperate
with the the local trade bodies in
thelr entertainment plans, so that

and pleasure. 1t is considered
one of the most important steps
ever taken in the building of a
closer relationship between the
small town merchant and manu-
facturer and the Knoxville mer-
chant and manufacturer, and
promises to be one of the most
successful trade trips ever made
in the south.
The committee in charge are
endeavoring to impress upon the
commercial bodies in the towns
to be visited that this trade trip
isn't made for selfish motives.
The social and the personal con-
tact features are considered the
most important. and every effort
will be made by the men on the
special" to make real friends of
the men they meet along the
route. The Knoxville wholesal-
eis want to visit the stores of the
men to whom they have sold
goods in the past. The retailer
wants to meet the men who have
bought their supplies from him
The bankers in the parts wan,
to know the bankers in 9th, r
towns and cities, and so on
through the list. Of cours
every man in the party wants TO
increase the business he is now
doing, but what is more import
ant, every one of them wants to
know from whom to purchase
some of the products of the Sec
tons visited.
The special train to be used in
transporting the party through
East Tennessee, Western Ken
lucky, Southwestern Virginia,
and the Western portion of North
Carolina, will consist of eight all
steel Pullman coaches, including
two dining cars. 1t will be CON-
pie ely fitted out with all conven-
fences of modern travel and will
he the home of the men compos-
ing the party for the four days
OF their trip. Knoxville litera-
ture, business catalogues, adver-
Using novelties and souvenirs
will all find a place on the "spe-
cial". Knoxville's business men
are undertaking the trip in a
wholehearted way which assures
its success, and are planning to
do things on big scale. A band
will accompany the party to fur
nish music at all entertainments,
as well as to head the parades
which have been arranged for by
several of the towns to be visited.
This band will number about
twenty-five pieces and is consid-
cred one of the best organizations
of its kind in East Tennessee.

The Balkan Campaign.

The Bulgar forces i'll Greece are un-
making progress toward the
sea. and if the campaign in the Balkans
was begun by the allies for the purpose
of impressing Rumania with the desir-
ability of joining them it is for the
present failing to accomplish that OBJ
ject. 1t seems, however, to be the pur
pose of Gen. Serial, the French com
press north along the Nardar river to
split the Bulgar forces into two wings,
relying upon his masses in the rear and
on the ilanks to prevent the Bulgars
from closing in to menace Saloniki. If
this is the object the advances gained by
the Bulgars in the direction of kavala
and Seres on the east and around
Florina, on the west, are of small mo-
ment. assuming that the allies possess
sufficient force to safeguard Saloniki
This campaign is peculiar in that at pres
ent territorial occupation is not mate
rial object. The Bulgars have, it is said,
pledged themselves not to occupy GER
tain towns in Greece. hoping doubtless
thereby to keep the Greeks from join
ing the allies. But late reports indicate
that Greek volunteers are flocking to
the French, English and Italian colors.
The Greek army is playing rather
humiliating role of perfunctory defense

OF positions assailed by the Bulgars,
with repeated retreats without actual
conflict. fhis game cannot be played for
long. Greece must now align herself
squarely with one side or the other, in
asmuch as her soil is being made a
battle-ground. If the allied offensive up
the Vardar is pressed the Bulgars, who
have sent their army against both fanks
of the enemy, will soon be embarrassed.
Gen. Serial cares nothing for Greek
territory. He is concerned merely to
maintain his base at Saloniki and from
this base he can operate northward. The
present reports indicate that artillery
work is in progress, indicative of an
early advance in the Lake DOiran re-
gion.

Mr.. Bryan complains that his oppo-
nents are attempting to make great deal

Sullivan appointment on the score that
Sullivan was highly recommended, and
the Wick letter on the score that in
writing it he was within his official
rights and the proprieties, and recog-
nized party practices.
He was a plain, blunt man who had
been commissioned for a task somewhat
out of his line, and full of difficulties.
He tackled it with energy, did his best,
and yet brought down on his head a
shower of censure. Nobody seemed
pleased, and everybody displeased seem
ed voicing his displeasure Finally the
patience of the man under fire gave
out, and he replied to his censurers ::
"You fellows knew me and what 1 was
when you gave me that job. I don't
know as you knew anything about the
job. | know I didn't know nothing about
it But 1 soon found out all about it,
and that it was as full of trouble for
me as could stick. / never saw before

went through, I think 1 deserves a good
deal of credit for doin' no wuss.'

Won Tirpitz's Manifesto.

While Admiral Won Tirpitz is no long
er officially responsible for the conduct
of German naval policies, nevertheless
he represents q powerful public senti-
ment in that country, and when he
"manifests' in favor of the resumption
OF submarine warfare, regardless of the
objections of the United States, he must
be taken seriously as menace to the
ernment His recent declaration in
favor of return to the unrestricted at
tack by submarines on merchantmen is
couched in terms of distinct disapproval
of the course of the United States. 1t is
suggested that inasmuch as the United
States has not secured from England d
modification of the blockade it has not
kept its part of bargain proposed by
Germany as a condition of the stoppage
warning.
1t is needless to point out that the
United States is in no wise pledged to
secure anything from England in the
matter of the blockade. 1t has put its
protest against the submarine warfare
as it was previously conducted squarely
upon the grounds of humanity and inter
national law regardless of what other
powers may be doing. 1t has ac-
cepted Germany's promise to abstain
from improper attacks upon merchant
men as trustworthy, without reference to
anything Germany may hope to gain in
the way of blockade lessening.
Won Tirpitz stands for thoroughgoing
"frightfulness' in warfare. He is an ex-
ponent of the policy pursued by the
German military forces in Belgium. He
is popular idol, and his enforced re
tirement was a grievous punishment.
Doubtless his followers in Germany be-
lieved that it would be but short time
before he was restored to duty and
power, and evidently the manifesto
just issued by his party is designed to
force the hand of the government at
Berlin if possible, by arousing a public
demand for the resumption of uneon-
ditional submarine activity.
The United States should find a way
to bring to the notice of the German
government this propaganda manifesto
of von Tirpitz, with view to ascer-
tanning if it represents the views of
that government. If Won Tirpitz is Off
cially retired he should not be permitted
to engage in an effort to embroil the
United States and Germany. A retired
American naval officer who proclaimed
such demand as that now attributed to
Won Tirpitz would be promptly admon-
ished TO refrain, with penalty of court
martial if he persisted.

The Front. Platform Rules.

A demand that the rules of the trac-
ton companies which forbid converse
ton with motormen and riding on front
platforms be enforced has been voiced
by residents of Mount Pleasant at
meeting. This action expresses the feel
ings of the community. Only very
small fraction of the people break these
rules. and many of them probably do so
unthinkingly, perhaps without being
aware of the fact that signs are con-
spicuously posted stating the regulations.
As a matter of public safety both of
these rules should be strictly enforced
by the car crews. The companies them
selves should assure their observance by
frequent inspections. AS long as the
old-type ears remain in service these
two rule should be inviolate, if only
for the protection of the companies from
the menace of accidents, bringing dam
age suits in train.
II ia not uncommon to see employees
of the companies riding on the front
platforms. chatting with the motormen
and occasionally occupying places on the
steps. This sets n bad example to the
public The passenger who feels that
the company owes him ride in the most
comfortable condition possible, regard
less of others, Will take advantage of
these palpable violations of the rules
and stand on the platforms, blocking the
ingress and egress of others.
The public utilities commission should
take this matter up with the companies
and make it plain that the rules posted
as to front platforms are to be observed
strictly. If the companies will not en-
force them. by insisting upon compli-
ance through conductors and motormen,
the commission should find way to
penalize them for failure to run their
cars in accordance with the require
ments of public safety.
