Some of the erstwhile bosses of the
democratic party affairs and even OF
state administrations had to swallows
very bitter pills last week at Nashville
when the state convention re-nominat.
ed Rye for governor and made a Mat.
form declaring for maintaining the
prohibition law. the custer law. and
other laws which have been enacted in
recent years in the interest of decent
government in every county, city and
hamlet in the state. We do not stib.
scribe to every plank in the platform
nor do we agree with every act of Rye
as governor, but they are the best
that could be set forth in this state at
this time and are for the peace, quiet
and order of the state and its people.
and such support as The Falcon can
give will he given gladly to Rye, Enloe
and the other nominees Of the partv

50, 000, l0Q, QQQ MARKS PUNT
 REACHED

BERLIN, May 31. The credit of 10 600, ,OO0,00O marks which the reich stag will soon be asked to vote, will bring the total credits up to 5O,00O,- GOO ,000 marks, of which O0,OOO,000 have already been raised in loans. While details regarding the fifth war loan are not yet arranged, 1t was said that it will be issued in September and that the rate of per cent will be retaine, as in all former loans, The treasury will raise the necessary funds upon treasury bills as needed, in anticipation of the issue, as on other occasions.
 The prospects for the loan are re earded as satisfactory. The manutac- nrers in various branches are earning big profits and the excellent crop prospects render it probable that there will be large investments in the loan by the farming population.
 Germany Can Stand Strain.
 Financial circles regard the further course of war with composure, belieV- ing that Germany will be able to stand the strain better than the enemy couh- tries. Moreover, Germany's war eX' penses, unlike those of some of the enemy countries, show tendency to shrink rather than increase. It is said that the expenditure for military pur- noses is now actually smaller than year ago. when the expenses for sey- eral new army organizations and or the active and prolonged Russian cam paign had to be borne. The expenses on the Russian front are now greatly reduced as compared with 1915, and even on the western front they have hardly increased, notwithstanding the heavy expenditure of artillery ammu' milton at Verdun.
 The German war expenses, there fore, appear to be somewhat below the 9 900 900 ,0OO marks monthly, as an nounced some time ago in the reieh- stag by Dr. Helfferich. secretary of the treasury.

 There has been a strong and active lobby, supported by the armor plate manufacturers, working against the bill It is held that in order to have the country prepared to meet any emergency, it is necessary that pri- yate plants be equipped to make ar nor plate.

RATTLE AROUND VERDUN
 RACES WITH GREAT FURY.

PARIS, May 90. - The battle around Verdun rages with a violence unex- ampled even in this region The Ger mans are striving with every resource to capture Hill No. BOA and peadman's s hill on the left bank of the Mouse.
 Without full possession of the line from Pepper hill to Vaux fort he Ger mans cannot hope to get any nearer to the capture of Verdun. Even if they succeeded in taking this line they could not hold it unless they were also in possession of Hill No %o4 and Dead mans hill which outflank the line.
 All day yesterday the tide ot war ebbed and flowed, inches of ground being won and lost at an appalling cost of men. Again and again after reducing trenches to a crmbling heap of runs by deluge of shells the Ger man infantry dashed forward, only to be caught and swept away by a hur- ricane of curtain fire from the French batteries and machine guns.
 The conditions of the present war have transformed the traditional furi- Ous courage of the French soldiers into an immovable stoicism. Men have stood their ground in a situation which it seemed beyond human nature to support.
 Describing the battle one combatant said:
 For four miles behind us there was not a trench or a communication. mo- thing but shell holes one within an other. Every inch of the ground was

 Six hundred feet of snowsheds, which will cost approximately s30,, 900, will be built by the railroad this summer if the lumber can be obtained. About 1,5O0,OO0 feet will be required. but on account of the great tonnage coming north, it has been impossible thus far to get the lumber delivered here.

Ona involved the use of this method to obtain information regard mour, attorneys said to be interested in war munitions contracts.

 Mayor Mitchell yesterday vigorous ly defended his order to the police to tap the wires of several Catholic clergymen during an investigation of charities.
