Dead Body Found Near Wal
nut Street Railroad Bridge
Monday Night.
BULLET HOLE IN HEART
Had Come to Town to Sell
Some Tobacco Tuesday,
Had $50 When Last Seen.

A farmer from the vicinity of
Dover, Tenn, was murdered Monday
night and his dead body placed on
the L. & N. Railroad siding near the
water tank beyond the Walnut street
overhead crossing.
The body was found about mid
night lying face downward, with a
bullet hole through his heart. His
chest was across the rail and the
body was cold in death, the murder
having taken place apparently early
in the night. The body was on a
siding and was not struck by the
train, whose crew made the discov-
cry. The matter was reported to the
police and the body was taken to the
Waller G Trice morgue and prepared
for burial. Persons in the. vicinity
recalled having heard a pistol shot
between and 8 o'clock, but no in.
vestigation was made.
On Tuesday the dead man wa:
identified and it was learned from hi:
friends that he had $50 and made $2(
more in horse trade Monday. His
watch and all of his money and other
valuables were gone when the body
was found.

man was knocked down while walk.

Washington, Dec. 5.-A definite
statement to the world of America S
war aims and of the basis upon which
peace will be considered was made
by President Wilson in an address to
congress, in which he urged immedi-
ate declaration of a state of war be-
tween the United States and Austria

AS to Turkey and Bulgaria-also tools
OF the enemy-he counselled delay be-

clared ip emphatic and ringing tones.
is the immediate and unalterable task
ahead. He urged congress, just be-
ginning IFS second war session to con-
centrate uponit.
The president sharply dismissed the
possibility of premature peace, sought
by German intrigue and debated here
by men who understand neither its
nature nor the way it may be attain
ed. With victory an accomplished
fact, he said, peace will be evolved,
based upon mercy and Justice" to
enemy and friend, with a hope Of
a partnership of nations TO guarantee
future world peace.
The war will be deemed won, he
declared, when the German people
say to us, through properly accredit-
ed representatives, that they are ready
to agree to settlement based upon
justice and preparation of the wrongs
their rulers have done" Terms of
peace, he added, would not include
dismemberment, robbery or punish
ment of the enemy, but would be bas-
ed on business, defined briefly as fol-
lows:

Hindenburg Fails on Cambria
Front---Massed Troops
From Other Sectors.
SLIGHT GAIN---BIG LOSSES
New Onslaughts Are Expect
ed by Haig's Men and
They Are Prepared.

The Germans apparently have
ceased the reckless expenditure of
lives of their troops in trying TO blot
out the Cambria salient held by Gen.
eral Byng's forces. After four days
of onslaughts that have been charac-
terized as equalling any previously
witnessed during the war, only the
artillery now is engaged. Although
the Germans claim the capture of
more than 5000 British prisoners in
their attacks and also more than one
hundred gnns, reports from the scene
of battle, both from the British war
office and from correspondents, have
indicated that the German loss in men
killed, wounded or made prisoners
was a terrible price to pay for the
very small recovery of lost terrain.
! While it is expected that further
attacks will be delivered on the Cam
brai sector, which is salient vitality
menacing to the important railroad
junction of Cambria with its highways
and railroads radiating in all direc-
tons as feeders to the German lines
north and south, the British troops
are declared now to be in better
position to offer stronger resistance
to their efforts if such a thing is pos
sible, than heretofore.
AS yet the anticipated renewal by
the AustrO-Germans Of their infantry
attacks on a large scale against the
Italians on the Venetian front has not
materialized. The enemy artillery,
however, continues active from the
Asiago plateau eastward totha5 head
waters of the Piave river. On the
Trentino front, where there has been
no fighting for some time, the enemy
has tried an attack which was pre-
pared for by a heavy bombardment
but it met with repulse.
Along the Piave valley the Italians
again have dispersed Austrian bodies
concentrating for attacks.
Likewise in Palestine the battle be-
tween the Turks and the British for
the possession of Jerusalem has not
begun. Taken all in all, there is no
change in the situation in this region,
although General Allenby's forces
have carried out small offensives in
the nature of raids and killed or cap
tured the occupants of Turkish
trenches.
