President Wilson called upon CON

Austria-Hungary be formally listed
among Americas enemies to remove

Any peace that America makes must

as well as northern France and BEL

The president suggested remedia'

do not yet stand in the direct path of

Urges War on Austria.
Immediate war against Austria, even
though she be only Germany's vasSal
and not her own mistress, the presi-
dent declared, was necessary because
the central powers must be considered
as one and because the war can be
conducted successfully in no other way.
Giving a plain warning, however
that he would not hesitate to ask for
declaration of war on Turkey and Bull
garia when he considered it necessary,
the president said:
"We shall go wherever the necessi-
ties of this war carry us, but it seems
to be that we should go only where i'm
mediate and practical considerations
lead us and not heed any others.
Peace to Come With Autocracy Defe IT.

have done, and when the enslaved

and the Balkans have been set free
Germany's declaration that she is
fighting a war of self-defense against
deliberate aggression, the president, in
ringing words, declared "wantonly
false" and he reiterated anew that no
one is threatening the existence of the
independence of the peaceful enter
prise of Germany.
Of those who speak of peace without
the overthrow of German military au-
tocracy, the president declared:
81 hear men debate peace who IN
derstand neither its nature nor the
way in which we may obtain 1t with
uplifted eyes and unbroken spirits. But
know that none Of these speaks for
the nation. They do not touch the
heart of anything. They may safely
be left to strut their uneasy hour and
be forgotten"

Stating again the war objects of the
United States and those which he be-
lieved to be those of the allies. the |
president declared:
II believe that / speak for them |

Thing of which the mas |
tiers of Germany have shown us the |
ugly face, this menace of combined in
trigue and force which we now see so
clearly as the German power, a Thing

lty for covenanted peace, must be
crushed, and, if it be not utterly
brought to an end, at least shut ont
from the friendly intercourse Of the

METHODISTS LOSE
ANOTHER MINISTER

Rev. E. H. Stewart, so years of
age, died at his home in Martin Fri
day night. Funeral services were
held from the Methodist church at
Martin on Sunday conducted by Revs.
Irion, Chambers and Graham, fol-
lowed by interment at East View
cemetery. Despite the bitter cold
weather large number assembled at
the church to pay last tribute Of
respect to the memory of this good
man.
The deceased is survived by his
wife and seven children, one of whom
is DR.. John Stewart, a popular young
physician of Martin. Rev. Stewart
had held no charge for the past sew
eral years, owing to declining health.
He was superannuate, and had per-
manently resided in Martin for sew
eral years.
Some 25 years ago, Rev. Stewart
was the pastor in Dresden, and it is
said made the most popular pastor
to serve this church in all these
years. Full of energy and thorough
ly imbued with a love for his chosen
life-work, and a devout christian, he
organized every branch of the church
into an active, working body. He
was the friend and helper of every
young person, boy and girl of the
town. He entered with them into
all of their plans; he was their advi-
ser; he was their comrade-their
leader-and when the news came to
Dresden that Brother Stewart was
no more many were the express
sions of regret by his old-time
friends, most of them now heads Of
families.
Dresden friends extend sympathy
to the sorrowing wife and children.

An Appeal for Membership.

We have instructions from Wash
ington to make grand effort to in
crease the Red Cross membership.
Everyone joining now until the Gath
of December become Christmas mem
bers. l understand that many of
you through the country have the
Red Cross organization associated
with the declaration of war, The
&rst Red Cross organization was So
years ago.
Before the war England, France,
Italy, Japan, Austria and Spain had
ever a million members each, while
We had only 100000. Today we
have four millions and need fifteen
millions. Wherever there has been
pestilence, fires, earthquakes, there
you would find Red Cross nurses and
Red Cross funds. In fact, the Red
Cross circles the earth. 1t speaks all
languages, knows all woe and goes
wherever sorrow goes.
We hope every man, woman and
child will become our Christmas
members-become our boys Christ
mas present-for the one dollar you
pay to join will make some poor SOL
der comfortable if sick or wounded.
You who are sitting by comfortable
fires, eating nicely prepared meals,
cannot realize what the Red Cross
means to the soldiers. Get out, each
of you, and bring US in from five to
ten members. Get your churches
and school to help you. Every child
should join. If she is not able to
pay membership dues, get those that
are to pay them for you. We will
look for you at the Red Cross rooms
Christmas eve.-Mrs. C. M. Ewing.
