SWORD OUT TILL
 VICTORY COMES.
(By Rev. Bernard Vaughn.)

It seems to me that England has passed trough three stages in her appreciation of the real meaning of this slaughter of the human race. eu- phemistically called warfare.
 In it's first stage she felt she was fighting for her nationl interests, the l highest of which was her national hon. or-her pledged word to recognize and maintain the integrity, autonomy and independence of Belgium.
 Then it came upon England that the l fight was not merely for national hon. or but for national existence itself.
 She began to realize that the agg- i ressive and arrogant foe with whom l she had come to grips was scheming and campaigning, not only to storm Paris and capture Petrograd but to l invade England and raid London.
 England was to be the Kaiser's coal ing station.
 Finally England began to wake up to the real inner meaning and signifi- canoe of the life and death struggle to which she had committed herself and her people.
 1 think l may say that all of us, without ejception or rank, creed or politics, have had at last to face the awful reality that England's sword has been drawn not to defend national claims only, but international rights also
 In other words, the Allies, from Pet rograd to Rome, and from Rome to Paris, and from Paris to London, are linked together, resolved never to sheathe the sword or silence guns or cry, Hold, enough!" until they are in a position, not only to come to terms with the enemy, but, on the contrary, to dictate their own terms to him.
 You cannot make terms with an enemy who has no respect for his own word of honor; you cannot come to terms with him when he makes it his proud boast that for him, might is right" and that warfare when it suits him, is a biological necessity" and the religion of valor"
 With an enemy such as we are fight ing we must impose conditions of peace which shall secure to Europe and to Christian civilization the right to live long years of peace and pros i perity, without the everlasting menace of invasion by an enemy who claims it to be his divine mission to make his own what belongs to another, leav- ing "frightfulness" as trademark of his bloody business, no matter where he has planted his iron heel.
 Our splendidly equipped and indom- itable British army is winning from all the world the enconiums it has so l deservedly merited and we may rest assured that these brave and daring i fellows will not return from the firing they had set out to do-to defeat the enemy so certainly, securely and com pletely that even he shall be compelled to acknowledge, with hands up, that he has been beaten all along the fight ing line, and is prepared to accept whatever terms of peace may be of fered him.

Unless the Allies are resolved to fight on until victory is theirs, it were better they had never fought at all.
 Peace short of fight to the finish would mean an armed truce until the enemy was prepared once more to shout: World conquest or death."

OF FIRST CHAiS TIN
DECLINES FLATTERING CALLS
TO OTHER FIELDS OF
SERVICE.
EVAkGELIzE PART OF TIE TINE
Had Opportunity To Go To Portland
Me-, to Memphis And to Other Work
News Will be Gratifying to Mem,
bers and People Generally.

At the meeting of the CONGREGATION
OF the First Christian church on Tues
day night, arrangements were made
by which Rev. G.. c. Brewer, pastor OF
the church, will stay with this church
Tor another year. The meeting was
largely attended and much enthusiasm
was manifested.
DIR. Brewer has received several
very flattering calls, some of them al
most substantial increases in salary
and especially was one of the calls
that to evangelistic services all of the
time, pleasing to him, for he is a great
success in this field of work.
Calls came to him from Portland
Maine, Memphis, and other points
However, after the congregation had
voted to allow Mr.. Brewer part of the
time for evangelistic services he
agreed to stay, although the compen.
sation which he will receive here will
be very much less than he would have
obtained had he accepted some of the
calls.
The fact that DR.. Brewer has def.
nitely decided to remain in Columbia
will be gratifying not only to the mem.
bers of the First Christian church but
also to the friends generally regard
less of church affiliations, as he is
popular and universally esteemed.

AIR TIGHT.
Democratic Nominee Stands FIat.Foot.
ed Upon Every Plank in the State
Democratic PIatform-Makes Plain
Statement to the People.

'T stand sQuarely upon the demo-
cratic state platform, upon which I
was nominated for every plank there
in and for locker law that will be
air-tight and will pass muster in the
supreme court"
The above emphatic declaration was
made today by Hon. Thomas Y. Eng.
lish, democratic nominee for represen.
tative, when asked by The Herald as
to his views on the locker law. This
law was declared unconstitutional by
the supreme court on the day that Mr..
English was nominated, hence there
was no reference to it in the conyen-
ton or the platform. Since the con-
vention adjourned several democrats
have manifested some curiosity as to
the views of the nominee upon the SUBJ
ject. That there might be no question
about the matter, The Herald submit
ted this question to Mr.. English:
AS a member of the legislature win
you vote for and advocate the enact
ment of locker anti-liquor law that
will pass muster before the supreme
court?"
To this query Mr.. English answered
as above stated. Continuing he said:
There should be no question about
my views upon the liquor question.
Two years ago advocated with all my
power the election of Gov. Rye upon
the same platform upon which he is
now running. AS delegate from my
district to the last county democratic
convention which met in April last,
was placed upon the platform commit
tee. The platform declared most en-
phatically for existing temperance leg
islation, the locker law then being on

After completing his lectures in the

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF TENNESSEE
TO PRESENT CLAIMS FOR
REELECTION.
CORDI | RECEPTION ASSURE
Democrats Without Regard to Pre-
vious Factional Differences Will
Come Together to Give the Faithful
Servant Royal Welcome.

Gov, Tom C, Rye, democratic nomi-
nee for reelection for chief executive
of Tennessee, will speak in Columbia
on Monday, October 20, at l o'clock,
Announcement to this effect was made
today by the state democratic COM
mittee.
The coming of Gov, Rye to Columbia
and Maury county will be the event
of the campaign of this year. The
governor will probably receive the
most enthusiastic reception of any
candidate who will come to Maury
county this year. He has increased in
popularity and in the esteem of the
people of the county ever since he was
inducted into the office of governor,
nearly two years ago.
1t is planned to make the coming of
Gov. Rye a notable event here. The
governor, it is hoped, will dispel the
lethargy that prevails to such an
alarming extent among the democrats
of the county. His coming on Monday
is a fortunate event because on that
day there are usually more country
people in the city than on any other.
1t is expected that the local demo
Gratis, without regard to previous fac
tional differences, will get together at
an early date and will make prepara-
tions for the reception of the COVER
nor here.

CHAPTER XVII.

Decoy.
Neal leaped out of one of the small
boats of the destroyer Jackson and
ran nimbly up the wharf. He had
good reason to, for on the veranda of
hotel not quarter Of a mile away
he saw girl he knew. In record time
he was by her side.

mother and Inez, "ook who's here"

"You got my note?" queried Annette.
Il got it," returned Neal, ''but no

What are you talking about?" said
Annette. eve are specially invited by
the governor himself
I'm out Of it, tell you,'' repeated
Neal. But I'll tell you what I'll do.
I'll come to the back gate of the gov
errors garden and I'll f1irt with you"
Many came and most were served
that night. But among the first to
come, though none were served, were
four unlimited guests. They were a
strange quartet, these four, and they
came to see rather than to be seen.
Each one Of these four men became
q shadow in himself, watching, ever
| watching. Suddenly there was light
tread upon the graveled path. A
jaunty figure swung into the moon
light and looked about him. Out Of
the hundred guests or so that clus-
tered about the verandas of the dis
tant house Neal peered anxiously for
Annette Ilington.
He trilled a little whistle-his sig
nal and Annette's--and as though that
whistle were signal for an onslaught,
a huge shadow and another sprang
across the intervening space and
caught Neal from behind. A coat or
cloak descended over his head with
all the effectiveness of a strait jacket.
It was the governor himself who
kept Annette within the range of ar
tif1cial light and from her appointment
in the moonlight out beyond.
While she still talked to the COVER
nor, an individual with cunning eyes
and 1nsinuating leer stepped up to the
funky at the main gate that led to the
governors mansion and handed him a
note.
For a guest-Miss Ilington," he
| said. II am to wait for an answer"
The funky nodded, summoned an
other dunky. and handed him the note.
The funky made an inquiry or two,
