The Polk County Republican. (Ducktown, Tenn.) 1914-191?, 1917-12-21

THE price-fxers have so restricted output that
the immutable law of supply and demand
is still on the job.
IF THE brains of the railway world, today, can
not make the roads pay, what show would
the incompetent Democratic party have!
TT IS evident that Colonel BRYAN has been
l. ncarnated with the war spirit that pervaded
his system during the Spanish-American war.
THE recent coal snap has convinced great
many people that the fixing of the price OF
coal has been anything but in favor of the small
consumer.
WHAT railway president or general manager
w would accept a job under Government
ownership and be under the control of petty
political boss?
IF THE farmers could be as certain of the
weather as they are of the Governments
price for wheat, they would rejoice with exceed
ing great JOY.
NTESSRS BURLESON and CoMPERs are quar-
lVI relinS about whether or not postal en-
ployees shall form union. Good chance to
find out which stands the hgoer before the throne.
CECRETARY McADOO has found out that
y somebody is trying to discredit the Liberty
Bonds. Why doesn't he act instead of talking
about it? Goodness knows he doesn't lack for
authority.
DOES anyone believe that, had the Republican
- party been in charge of the conduct OF
this war, the Democrats would have shown the
patriotism that Republicans have exhibited all
along the line?
ITO WHOM do the various Boards, Commit
tees, Commissions, Administrators, etc.,
report? Or are they all going it alone, with no
check of any kind on the expenditure OF the
peoples money?
WITH divided Democracy on the point OF
w declaring war, and carried only by the
votes of Republicans, isn't this presumptious
assumption that this is the Democratic partys
war rather ludcrous?
rs 1T unonism when one set of men, tor the
sake of few extra pennies, will deprive
another set of men of their entire wages by
means of strike? The coal miners have done
this and the end is not yet.
WHILE the weather was nice, the powers
w that should have known better were so
busy kowtowing to the United Mine Workers
union that now huge coal shortage stares us in
the face. Comfort of the people is never con-
sidered when politics is the order OF the day.

MIR. MURDOCH believes that to VICTOR be,
NI longs the spoils, and he is always around
when they are to be handed out.
TT WOULD seem from Mr.. MCADoo's talk that
L he doesn't give hang for expenses-as
long as the other fellow pays them.
THE price-fxers are always asking for further
power to broaden the scope OF their IN
quiries, but that is about as far as they get.
THERE was no need of designating coalless
days. Too many people will have to OBJ
serve them through compulslon to need re-
minder.
WHILE Republicans are bending every ener-
w gy toward winning this war, Democrats
seem to be engaged chiefly in the art of grabbing
all the coin in sight.
TT is conceded in Washington that the ggan-
tic intellect which conceived the idea OF an
excess profit tax might have once reposed IN
the dome of BALAAM's ass.
JERUSALEM, the Holy City, once trod by the
y sacred footsteps of the Master, is now IN
the hands of Christians What Christmas

the man with little money and looking tor
bargains would be right in it.
THOSE papers that have advocated saying
nothing about the gross Democratic incom-
potency that is apparent on all sides should re-
main very quiet from now on
TT HAS finally penetrated the cast-iron hides OF
leading Democrats that cotton and the sala-
ries of statesmen should be taxed. lis sad
blow. but the Government still survives.
THE pledged word of certain Republican Of
ficeholders in Polk County has been like
"the sounding of brass and the tinkling of Gym
bals.' Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus.
THE probability that the infusion of Repub-
lican brains into the conduct OF this war
might be beneficial has, presumably, never oc-
Cured to the President; but others have re-
marked about it.
WHY is it that when some two-by-four Demo

wants to 90 to war he has to come here to re-
cruit his men? Don't they raise fighting stock
in those sections?
THE hoggishness and double dealing OF some
of the aspirants for office, next year, has
paved the way for the abolition of party lines
Independent candidates will receive more than
ordinary consideration.

THREE-CORNERED FIGHT FOR
SOX FIELD JOB GROWS WARM
BY Mark Shields


Every game the White Sox play in
the west makes it more evident that
Memo LiebOld will be a hard man to
keep from a regular job in right field
and the honor of heading the batting
order. Memo has been displaying in
left field since Joe Jackson went on
the injured list and he has slugged
with tremendous effect, slashing into
the pitchers even harder than Jack
son was.
EIdred retains the berth vacated by
John Collins and tops the batting ar
ray, but the newcomer is not as
sUred of his place. He hits well, runs
the bases inteIligently and knows
what to do with the ball. His only
weakness is in his throwing arm, a
handicap which LieboId doesn't labor
under.
For that right-fieId berth it is a
peppery, three-cornered fight, with
Eddie Murphy the other member of
the trio. Of the three candidates,
Liebold is by far the better fielder,
both in retrieving a ball and in get
LlLlS - DdCh " LuC uIdllIO1u. 1Alu1 GU
has the next place in defensive
worth, with Murphy trailing.
But the former Macknan is such
a powerful agent on attack that he
causes his fielding deficiencies to be
overlooked. LiebOld might Outhit
him through a season, he might even
walk Oftener because Of his diminu-
L.
willy man at working pitchers-but
once on base there is no man on the
SOx roster, regular or recruit, who
can worm himself around the bases
as Murphy can.
No matter which of the candidates
Manager Rowland picks for regular
duty, it is a certainty that right field
will be a stronger link in the SOx
chain than it was in 1916.

place for himself at short. In the
games against Texas league clubs he
has lived up to all the promises his
work>in training camp gave rise to.
He has fielded tightly and his safe
hits have been frequent and sound.
He drives the ball sOlidly and ring
ingly from his bat and uses excellent
judgment in picking the pitches to
slam at.
I His one deficiency is ability to bunt
runners ahead. His lack in this de-
partment is something that is being
remedied through diligent drill, and
by the time the season opens he
should be a desirable man to come
second in the batting order.

pitched nine innings, being the
fourth Sox pitcher to travel the full
distance in the past week. This is a
tribute to the condition of the hurl-
ers and promises much for their
work when the season gets into full
swing. Reb Russell is the only reg
ulaT who has not yet gone the dis
lance and such a performance will
not be asked of the sOUthpaw for a
few days.
Catcher Dolly Gray, taken from
the Western league by the Sox, has
been released to Fort Worth. This
means Jenkins and Walter Mayer
must fight for the third backstop job
with the South SideTs. Jenkins had
an excellent record with the Texas
league last year Mayer has been
with the SOX before.
Three thousand miners in Miami,
ATiz., saw their team trimmed by the
Cubs, to 8. The miners paid a dol
lar each for the privilege and the
Cubs received rs per cent of the re-
ceipts. Reckoning on that basis, the
game was a resoUnding success.

WILL AMERICAN SOLDIERS
TAKE ENGLISH WIVES
Liverpool Paper Declares British Maid
ems Certainly Are Willing.

Liverpool, July 3.6Correspondence)-
Specializing editorially on whether the
men Of the American army will marry
English wives to any appreciable ex-
tent. the Liverpool Post says
'Will American men marry here? We
wonder If the coming of the American
army will have any effect upon the mat
rimonial prospects of our girls. For
some reason, the men of the New
World have hitherto never shown any
great eagerness to take brides from the
Old and even the theory that this is be-
cause It has not been the way of the
American man to cross the Atlantic,
though IL is consoling to our national
vanity, does not work. For it is notice
able that the Canadians, who have
abounded in our midst during the past
three years, are not nearly as fond Of
marrying into this country as are, for
example, Australians,
Few of the young men from Aus
tralia seem to want to return home
without English brides, but the Cana
dians either are married when they
come or show disposition to remain
single.
STILL there is no need for the girls
to despair yet, and If some of them do
not spend their lives as matrons in the
United States we shah be surprised
Certainly it will not be their fault. as

WHAT THE WAR GASES ARE
Mixture Of Chlorine and Bromine Used
In Trench Fighting.

Springfield Republican: The exact
composition of the gases used in mod
ern trench warfare is not known, but
from the appearance, odor and effect
on the men, II would seem that most
commonly a mixture of chlorine and bro
mine is employed; possibly at times WITH
the addition of sulphur fumes or for
mlahdeyde gas. Chlorine and bromine
are produced cheaply and in large
amounts by the Germans as by-products
of other industries. They are among
the most active chemical agents known;
attacking the eyes. and lining of the
mouth, throat and nose. They first
produce hard cough, followed by the
splitting of blood and finally asphyxia,
ton, due to the destruction of the
breathing apparatus. Only one part Of
chlorine or bromine in 1000 parts OF air
is necessary to produce almost instant
death; one part in 100000, if endured
for any great length of time, is very
dangerous.
For use in the trenches the gases are
usually liquified and stored in tanks
from which the outflow is regulated by
means Of a valve. If the ground slopes
a little toward the enemy and the wind
is in the right direction, the gas, being
heavier than air flows over the ground,
filling the hollows like SO much water.
! The most successful method for COM
batting the gas attacks is by the use
of a gas mask The modification now
employed is a hood, provided with a
mica window that fits down over the
. head like a bag, buttoning between the
vest and shirt. When the first indi
cations of an attack are evident the
hood is moistened with a solution OF
sodium hyposulphite (the photogra
piers "hypo'D which combines with
the gases, rendering them ineffective
Because of the large amount Of gas
required TO poison the constantly chang
ing air, an attack is only Of a few min
utes duration. In case one is overcome
by gas, inhalation of dilute ammonia
vapors win give great relief, since th'
ammonia combines with the gas in th'
bronchial tubes and relieves the diff
Guilty Of breathing, although it does no
undo the injury already done.
Because of the cruel suffering in
flicted upon the enemy, the use Of poi
sonous gases in projectiles was forswori
by the signers Of the Hague declaration
J OF 1899. The first gas attacks of tn
Germans took the enemy by surpris
and inflicted great losses and an untol
amount Of suffering. Since then tn
masks have been so perfected that tn
troops have lost most Of their fear o
this ruthless form OF battle-thus agail
emphasizing the fact that this is
