AMERICA WOULD DO IT

A cynical writer in q weekly pro
Tossing to be especially designed for
the intellectual has brought down on
his head an avalanche Of justifiable
criticism for his declaration, in dis
cussing submarine warfare: Under
the same circumstances Germany
would use It again as she is using 1t
now, and SO would any nation, lnci9d-
ing the United States, which was Pc
ING blockaded by a superior fleeJL
and was in danger of being crushed
as a result of the blockade" The
New York Globe was quick to DIS
prove the statement by finding
parallel for Germanys situation, IN
the plight of the Confederacy, When
the Union used 5000 vessels in entor-
cling a blockade. The Conteoeracy
had no hope of peace, except through
unconditional surrender, for, from the
very nature of the struggle, no treaty
of peace could be made. But the
Confederacy did not take the posi-
ton that necessity knows no law. IL
| did not threaten to strike every YES
sci, enemy or neutral, and drown
crews and passengers. On the con-
trary. it laid on its cruiser comman-
ders the duty of respectln" all the
usages of civilized warfare.
That the raiders did this is amply
attested by the records. Augustus
L. Richards, in an interesting co1trl-
button to the controversy, shows now
Raphael Semmes. the greatest OF the
cruiser commanders, who captured 64
vessels, placed a prize crew on the
| Tonawanda, which had rich cargo
of grain, when he could not care for
| its rs passengers on the Alabama.
| When gale threatened and no 9TH
Ell vessel was in sight, Semmes ex-
acted a ransom bond of 1000 and
let the Tonawanda go. At another
time he captured the mail steamer
| Ariel, carrying lao Union marines,
several military and naval ottlcefs
and 500 other passengers. Semme.s
started to tow it to Kingston, Jamal-
ca, but when ne learned that yellow
fever was raging there, he let the
1 Ariel go rather than let the passen-
gers be exposed to the fever
The Confederacy was in as great
extremity as Germany has been at
any time. But it was not dominat-
ed by caste that held the monstrous
| doctrine of ruthlesSness. In all our
wars we have followed humane prin-
ciples. The Semmes illustration is
especially striking, because Of the
similarity of the Supposed "neces-
| sity. Exchange.

GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN"

The sad death of Mrs. Thelna
Springfield, which occurred at the
home of her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
B. L. Cole, of Ocean Springs, Miss,
on the morning of August 5, was re-
ceived here with many sad hearts.
Thelma was born in Fulton, KY, on.
January 16, 1898. She moved with
her parents to this county about four
years ago and resided at South Gov
ington. In 1915 she joined the Meth
odist church at this place and lived
devoted Christian life until her
death. On August 8, 1916, she mar
ried Mr.. Whit Springfield, Of Tupelo,
Miss. They hence moved to Gait
man, Miss, and in July she went to-
her parents with the hopes Of bene-
fitting her health, but was only there
two weeks and four days when "God
said, suffer little children to come
unto me, and forbid them not, for
such is the kingdom of Heaven"
Thelma was bright intelligent
girl and made friends of all with
whom she came in contact and was
loved by all who knew her. Though
she was weak in strength, but was
strong for the right. She began
failing in health in February and
grew weaker until the end, tubercu-
losis being the cause of her death.
The end was hourly expected, never
theless her PASSING away was a
shock to her family and numerous
friends.
She called her mother to her bed
Just before she died and took her
hand and said, Mamma, | am not
afraid to die; / have prayed and
read the Bible, l want to go to
Heaven, | hope we will all go to
Heaven" Grieve pot, loved ones.
for dear Thelma is at rest where
suffering and sorrows are unknown.
She is survived by her husband, of
Gattman, Miss, her parents, four
brothers, now Of this place and a
host of friends who extend their
heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved
ones in their great grief.
She was laid to rest by tender
hands in Ocean Springs cemetery,
The pastor Of the Methodist church
conducting the last sad rites.
Though cast down we're not forsaken
Though afflicted not alone.
Thou didst give, Thou nast taken,
Blessed Lord, Thy will be done.
SHE has gone beyond our vision
From home she made so bright
and fair,
From kind and lovino friends
From world of sin and care.
We shall miss her, 0, SO sadly,
From our hearts and home:
Miss her kind and loving presence, s
AS the years shan go and come. :,
But our Father in His wisdom, took
her to the summer land,
Led her@khrough the darkened vale
Holding firmly by her hand;
1 Led her to a lovely country
Where the Living Waters flow,
\ Wherein all our angels glory
j Loved ones wander to and fto-
Il We shall miss her, and our loss W.
4 deeply feel,
But twas God who has bereft us;
i He can all our sorrows heal.
| Yet again we hope to meet thee
When the day Of life is fled
i When we shall greet dear fhelma
/ Then no farewell tears we'll shed.
i -"One Who Loved Her."

realize the imperative necessity for
it if we are to win this war Only

RAD GROSS

Az q mass meeting held ir the !
Chicago Auditorium, on September
16, Mr. Henry P. Davidson, chairman
of the Red Cross War Council, dis
cussed the worldwide task Of the
American Red Cross. Mr.. Davidson
said in part:
an the days of Florence Nightin-
gale. the mission of the Red Cross
was almost exclusively to aid the
wounded individual. Such are the
conditions today that the mission OF
the Red Cross is not onlv to aid the
individual, but to extend succor to
the wounded nations.
"France is said to have 100000 Of
her people suffering from tuberculo-
sis as direct result of the war,
while 100000 were lost in the war it.
self. This, with the natural deaths
and the low birth rate shows a net
loss of population for the year of
about 100000. Millions Of men, wo-
men and children in Poland are
rtarving, driven from their homes ut
tarly beyond the reach of any imme-
diate relief.
eve are told that on the French
battle front there are $4,000 ambu-
'ances and 'on the Russian front on
" 5000 ambulances. We had cable
gram few days ago from the Red
Cross Commission to France, calling
for shipment Of 100000 meters of
gauge. We were asked for an i'm
mediate supply of 100000 tons Of
ether; we were asked to ship at the
earliest moment a manufacturing
plant to produce nitrous oxide, and
effective anaesthetic for short oper-
ations. 1t is calculated that our
army will require 1000 trained
nurses and perhaps 10000 doctors
"All these items spell suffering,
wounds, agony, and death. 1t is the
mission of the Red Cross ITO draw a
great net of mercy through this
ocean of indescrbable pain"
To energize American generosity
and self sacrifice.
sour purpose is to associate the
whole nation in an effort not only to
manufacture knitted sweaters, sur
gical dressings, and comfort kits, but
4 to act as a great social force, Gre
ating in the people spirit Of self
sacrifices, and mobilizing the enthu-
siasm, the generosity of the Ameri-
can people.
"The Red Cross differs from 9th
er organizations in the eXtraordi-
mary amount of volunteer work
which it is able to command. The
value of the time the women Of the
United States will contribute to the
Red Cross within the next twelve
months, figured on the basis of plans
already made, has been estimated by
experts to amount to at least $780,
100000. This does not cover any
thing but the actual work Of lay
women in making surgical dressings
hospital garments. knitted articles
comfort kits, and other supplies.
"Here then is the greatest work OF
mercy ever undertaken by single
organization. Already it is one OF
the finest expressions of the great
ness and g-heartedness of the peo-
pie of America. But the work is
Just starting. We shall still need
more money. Our work will con-
tinue with increasing intensity
throughout the war, and at the end OF
the war the American Red Cross will
still have before it an opportunity
and an obligation to extend relief TO
suffering mankind, such as the his
tory of the world has never before
brought forth"
The Covington leader. (Covington, Tenn.) 18??-current, 1917-10-11
RED CROSS

Auxiliary Red Cross Chapters
have been organized by Rev. M. R.
Gibson and others Of the Covington
Chapter as follows: Idaville, Bright
on. Tabernacle, and Clopton. Plans
are being made to organize other
places in the county. Mr.. Gibson
reports great interest in the Red
Cross at the places organized. Not
less than so ladies are at work In
the four chapters. The Covington
Chapter has completed its first one
half unit Of garments which is
ready for shipment. The work on
the second one-half unit is pro-
crossing, as is also the difficult
work Of the surgical dressings de-
partment.

THE EMPTY HOUSE

We step within the loosened door
And stand upon the creaking floor;
A broken. pane lets in bough,
A nest upon it, empty now.
Each wcrA on frightened silence falls,
And whispers through the empty
halls
Whose creeping echoes seem TO bring,
The answer to our questioning.
Here stood a maiden with her lover,
The mistleSooe, rerhaps, above her;
A grand d anne there, in gay bTocade;
A warrior statesman, gray ana stald'
A gallant ridden many league
For some sweet tryst or mad intrigue;
While loI e and hate and greed stood
by
And play ed their olden tragedy.
The iips that kissed, or lied, or laugh
ed, :,
The com non cup Of all have quaffedi
The won Is they whispered call IN
vain.
Ears sto oped by clay hear not again
We cate / their echoes, creeping still
Past mo- lldering wall and crumblnl
sill.
And wca a or echo hardly know
So ike TODAY and Long Ago.
