HUN RAIDERS
AND PATROL
BOA IS SUNK.
British Destroyers Take
Prisoners and Destroy
German Vessels In North
Sea; Reports Name Two
Cruisers.
NEW ELECTRICAL
CRAFT DESTROYED

Great Britain's navy has bean
successful In at least one en-
counter with a German armored
cruiser, and may have sunk two.
Dispatches from London tell of
the defeat of the Marie Of
Flensberg and the death of thirty
Germans. Copenhagen dispatches
tell of the defeat of the armored
cruiser Crocodile and ten trawlers
The latter story is confirmed
from London but the report Of
the admiralty does not mention
the name Of the German ship.
Whether the names are confused
or there were two distinct en-
gagements can only be determin-
ed from future reports. There
are indications of two battles
however, since the Crocodile is
described as a vessel Of 1000
tons and the Mare of F1ensberg
as a 5000 ton ship.

had been living since her return

airy Baptist church of Thompson
Springs, Fla. She was a true
christian, devoted wife and
mother, and agood neighbor. She
had been a great sufferer for many
months, bearing her suffering with.
out complaint, and saying only
Gods will be done. not mine.
Her children, friends, neighbors
and physician did all they could
to give her comfort. but there was
no relief for her, while her Heav-
emily Father had mercy on her and
took her away from this world of
pain AID sorrow.
She is survived by two sons, L.
d. and H. d. Cazort, and one
daughter. Mrs. Pauline Hobbs,
and six grandchildren. The fu-
neral occurred at Shiloh Saturday
at 2:30 o'clock and was conducted
by Rev. Edgar Mccoy, of McKen-
zie. The bereaved have the sym

f0.acre field Of corn and velvet
beans which is good to look at. 10
an adjoining field he has some fine
soy beans to be harvested by q
hogs. These scenes look like real
farming.
j. Priest Lawrence, Of Scots
Hill. has several varieties of chick
en- feed, which he has tried out
this year. Some Of it is very fine
and those who are worrying about
the high cost OF chicken feed can
learn something by seeing bis ex-

crop as seed corn this winter.
Eden Woodland has small
patch Of good alfalfa and has Sc
lected a place for two acres next

If one community shows some
thing not shown by others that
will be point in its favor. The
aim of every community should 9

awarded to members of clubs.
It will be noted that in this ex-
hibit all the people from one COM
munity are to put their exhibits
together in order to make cred
table show ing for that commun-

but to work with your neighbor in
securing a better and more COM

ity than any exhibit from another
part of the county.
If proud Of your community, as
every person should be, this is
your opportunity to prove its mer-

1t looks like few members of
the United States senate want to
try the patience, not only of their
fellow members, but of the people
OF the United States as we'll. Their
opposition to all the war measures
before that body, and their utter
ances in public speeches are con-
sidered to be of a disloyal and Sc
ditious nature. Especially is this
true of Senator LaFollette. The
senate may be called upon to expel
these members, and if such action
is taken it would receive the APP
proval of the country. These are
times when all Americans should
stand together.

WOMEN AND THIS WAR

Nothing gauges the change in
the attitude Of the world toward
women In as striking a manner as
the acceptance of the fact that a reg
istration for women is the proper
procedure at this time. Hoots and
ieers BY the majority Of the peo-
pie would have greeted such an
idea five years ago, and most of
the conservative husbands or faith
ers would have forbidden their
womenfolk to have. anything to do
with such a measure.
Whenever war has called men
to fight the women have bravely
and nobly borne their share of the
burden; but this is the first war
that has ever called women to take
her place side by side with man 10
bearing the enconomical and finan-
cial burden of keeping the machin-
cry of civilization whirring, re-
gardles Of the clogging of the
wheels by war.
The women of the United States
will register on October Is, vol
unteering their services in any
special work they can best accom-
plish. Nashville is sure to have a
full and capable list of patriotic
women who will consider that they
have conferred an honor upon
themselves by voluntarily and Gag
erly offering whatever small SER
vice they may be able to render. :

APPEAL BY HOOVER
October 2l-2s Selected for NOtiOn-
wide Food Campaign


lean people to unite in food con-
seryation was made Saturday night
by Herbert Hoover, The food ad-
ministrator, in an announcement
setting aside the week of October
q to % for completion of the cam
paign to enroll the country's house.
wives as volunteer members of the
food administration.
Food. Mr.. Hoover declares, will
win the war. Its conservation is
a duty, be says. of necessity, hui
mainly and honor. The appeal
follows:
The week of October q to 28
has been selected for a nationwide
campaign to complete the enroll
ment Of our forces in conservation
of our food supplies.
The harvest is now in hand,
and we can measure the worlds
food resources.
The available supplies this har-
vest year are less than last year;
the demand upon us is greater
than last year, and from the last
harvest we exported more than we
could really afford. We can only
meet the call upon Us next BY saw
ings and substitutions of commodi-
ties which cannot be transported.
The allies are our first line OF
denfense. They must be fed, and
food will win the war. All Eu-
rope is on rations or restricted
supplies. Only in our own coun-
try is each one permitted to Judge
for himself the duty he owes bis
country in food consumption, al
though the world depends upon us
to guard and provide its food
supply.
This is a duty of necessity, hui
manity and honor.
I'VE are are asking every house
holder, every hotel, restaurant and
dealer in foodstuffs in the nation
to become member of the food
administration for conservation,
and to pledge themselves to follow,
in so far as circumstances permit,
the suggestions that will be offered
from time to time as to measures
of food savings.
For us there is not threat Of
priVation. We wish only that our
people should eat plenty, but
wisely and without waste.
Il therefore appeal to the
churches and the schools for their
assistance in this crusade; to all
the organizations for defense, loca
and national; to all the agencies,
commercial, social and civic, thai
they join the administration in this
work for the fundamental safety
of this nation.
HERBERT Hoover.
The food administration plans a
house-to-house canvass of The
country's homes to accomplish thu
enrolment of householders.
The foods most necessary K
save, it is declared, are wheat
beef, pork, dairy products anc
sugar and those which should b
used most generously are fish
poultry, fruit, vegetables and al
cereals except wheat.

TENEMENT HOUSE
PROBLEM IN BERLIN

BERLIN, Feb. 27-Under the lead
ership of former Secretary OF State
DR.. Bernhard Dernburg. the social
ed Greater Berlin Association for the
Institution of Small Houses is trying
to arouse the city to the present evils
of tenement house living and It's
cIosely-related problems of childless
families.
Partly because of the tenements,
one fourth of all marriages are now
childless. Since 1890 the number OF
first born children has gone back by
20 per cent; the number of second
born by AZ per cent; the number OF
third born by SO per cent; and the
humber of fourth bond beyond 70 per
cent During the same period the
deaths from tuberculosis in the city
averaged 20 per cent OF all deaths,
while in the Province of Brandenburg,
in which Berlin lies, the average was
only 1874 per cent, and in East Prus-
STA but 11.9 per cent.
In Berlin, where 77.5 per cent OF
the inhabitants live in tenements, only
AZ per cent of the males of military
age were fit for military service, while
in Dusseldorf, for example, where
only 2O.7 per cent of the population is
similarly housed, 65.8 per cent have
been found to be physically equipped
for the army and navy.
The remedy for the situation, or one
feasible remedy at least, the tene-
ment reformers believed, lies with the
state, which own in the neighborhood
of Berlin vast tracts of semi-forest
land which is of little value as such.
but which could easily and advant-
ageously be transformed into colon
les of one family dwellings.
Within a radius of twelve or thir-
teen miles of Berlin, Prussia owns
sufficient land, it is maintained, to
: ccomodate comfortably and health
lily between 100000 and 100000 per-
sons in single family houses with
connecting gardens, and which could
be sold on easy terms to middle class
families both to their advantage and
to the profit of the state.

ATLANTA MOVING TOWARD
SPRING GRAND OPERA SEASON

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. 28.-The well

ton, in accordance with it's equally
well known habit of eight years stand
ing has announced the dates for reser-
walton of seats for the well known
Atlanta season of the well known
Metropolitan Opera Company. of New
York
In fact, it runs just like clockwork
and as smoothly, this annual grand
opera for the South, and when new
spring time rolls around, patrons from
all the way between New Orleans to
Baltimore and back again, know al
most without being told that it is time
to send a check and request for seat
reservations to Mr. C. B. Bidwell, At
lanta Music Festival association, in
the Fourth National Bank building.
c. B., by the way, is also the presi-
dent of the Atlanta Art association and
Ct fiourishing golf club. This has
nothing to do with grand opera, but
il is just as well to put something in
the story that people don't know al
ready.
And as for those reservation dates.

day, March 5, running through March
"a. The sale of tickets for single per-
formances begins April 2 and just

WAR FILMS ARE A
FEAT Of Conflict

The greatest OF them all, without ex-
aggeration is Wilbur H. Durborough's
motion war pictures Zone The Firing
Line With The Germans" which will
be shown here at the Opera House
March 5th, under the auspices of the
Americas Times Recorder. Wilbur H.
Durborough, the official press photog-
rapher, has had various experiences
on the battlefield, and the difficulties
surrounding him make it a wonder
that any one got away with any pic
lures at all.
The pictures present a consecutive
narrative starting with the photogra-
piers departure and continuing
through the aftermath of the fall Of
Novo Georgievsk. There is such va
riety of incidents that they move with
such rapidity, keeping the observer al
most at military attention, troops
march, many of them, but not to wea-
of the mechanics of the modern army
rying prolongation, and every phase
has it's showing except the big guns
from the goulash cannon to the bay

stronghold. The prisoners are shown.

Stunning liberal helpings of food, one

along the front, among them the
counts and commanders and ladies of
rank, Miss Jane Adams, Oswald
Schuette, correspondent for the Daily
News; Henry J. Reilly and James

the Tribune.
In seeing "On the Firing Line With
the Germans" you will see the perfect
pictures taken by Mr.. Durborough and
not component parts scattered around
through current weeklies during the
last few weeks and months, as has
been shown by so many so-called war
pictures. For real facts and realistic
situations you cannot afford to miss
