OUR COUNTY HONORED.
Two of Our Boys Selected for "First to
Fight" MARINES for France

Cumberland county has reason tc
feel proud of the distinction that has
fallen to two OF our boys who have
been selected for the First to Fight
marines to 60 to France.
One OF the boys mentioned is George
E. Manning. private. of the 45th COM
pany. He IS son of j. W. Manning,
Grab Orchard, and enlisted in the
United States Marine Corps at Chatta-
nooga April Is.
The other is Herbert M. Houston. a
private in the same company, son OF
W. Houston. Winesap. He enlisted at
the same time and place.
These boys have displayed such
marked ability and daring that they
have been among the first to be chosen
to edo their bit' over seas. Alsc
Noah Potter, of Peavine, Fred Rector,
son of D. b. Rector, CrossvIlle, are
now IN France, while Clay Brown, son
Of Circuit Clerk L. +. Brown, Cross
vile, IS either now IN France or on his
way. There are other boys from this
county in the regular army, but we do
not know who they are, but would like
to know. When it is remembered that
this county was one of the two counties
in the state that filled its quota by en-
listment before the draft, it will be
seen there are no slackers in this Sec
tion.
Our readers may we'll feel proud OF
these boys and wish them the best OF
success and hope for their return sound
and hearty after the war is over.
These boys are illustrating very fore
IDLY that expression: "The men of
the mountains never tall to do their
duty"

WORLD PEACE FEDERATION.
No Nation to Control Seas More Than
One Man Controls Streets,

A people should have no more ques-
tion about their access to the sea than
man has about access to- the street.
And any particular nation should have
no more control of the sea than a man
has of he street.
We thought this fine new thing, this
world trade, was guaranteed by set
OF precedents and gentIemen's agree
ments that we called international law.
1t proved on test to be mere scrap of
paper. What next? Government, real
government. The world must have
one. The independence, the comfort.
nay, the life of all depend upon it.
The question now is, "Shall the rul-
ing power be one nation acting with
the irresponsible power of a dictator,
or shall it be the better way, by
agreement of several nations, acting
through some KIND OF international
government or super state?
Government has been gaining ground
of late; witness the United States. In
1888 thirteen Independent nations be-
came one nation and peace has prevail
ed, save during the period of the Civil
War, from 1861 to 1865, when certain
parties tried to break up the league By
appealing to armies rather than to
votes. Italy, which was recently
group of independent Kingdoms, has
become one kingdom. Germany,
group of states of various sizes and
kinds, has become one empire, be-
lated follower of France and of the
United Kingdom in the process of uni
fication. We need but one more step in
the unification, and seven or eight
powers can keep the peace in theworld
as easily as the United States keeps
the peace among the forty-elght States
of this country. The Civil War, 1861
1866, was really struggle to see
whether the bullet method or the bal
lot method should prevail in this league
of States. 1t was war that settled
and settled it in favor of
the more orderly ethod.-From "A

M.-TO-B. SURVEY.

Surveyors are on hand surveying the
Memphis highway prepara-
tory to the expenditure of considerable
money on the road by the state.
When it IS remembered that the road
is practically completed entirely
through the county it Is easy to believe
that the survey will be matter of
short time and little labor. 1t is prob
able that the greater part of the work
will consist in Tightening grades in a
few instances and surfacing, possibly,
with gravel in certain places.

MORE MEN FOR COMPANY D.
Nineteen Men Were Turned Down by
Army Officers Last Week.

under the direction of regular arm.
surgeons nineteen failed far various
reasons.
Before the last examination Com
pany d had four more men than wer.
required, but since 10 were turner
down for various reasons it may bt
necessary to put into effect the selec
tive draft to furnish the required mum
Der. How that will be, however, il
not as yet known.
Captain Southland has informed US
that the company may be called tc
f., their headquarters at Knoxville any
time, but that any young men wishing
to enlist will be accepted up to the
time of going away.
The company is actively drilling
every day and it is rapidly getting
whipped into line so that they have
much more of a military air and bear
ing than at first. Men who have seen
large bodies of soldiers say that Com
pany d will be very fine looking
bunch of men when thoroughly drilled
and logged out in the regular military
uniforms. Our people certainly have
reason to feel proud OF the progress
they are making and the orderly man.
ner in which they conduct themselves
is much to their credit.
A very fitting compliment has been
paid Con~ ressman Cordell Hull by
naming thi,. camp for him and our peo-
pie take rlt asure in speaking OF "Camp
Cordell Hill" because of the high es-
TEEN in which he is held by the people
OF the county generally.
DR.. v. l.. Lewis, who is also one of
the Exemption Board, he's been ap-
pointed army surgeon for Company u.
to look after the boys while they are
stationed here.
Following is the list of those who
were turned down last week by the in
spection officers:
Graham Melvin is IN Nashville un.
dergoing slight operation, after
which he hopes to be able to re-enlist
in few weeks.
George Barnwell. He has since re-
moved the disability on which he was
turned down, that of being a married
man with dependents. HIS wife hav-
ing signed a release for him and he has
again enlisted.
