plays have influenced nobody in particular

so absurd that his own followers are de-

into farce when it sends proposals for an

That Grand Duke Nicholas will undertake
to set up military despotism in Russia Is
unlikely, by reason of his hinship TO the OK

COLUMBIA MILITARY ACADEMY.

Officials of the Columbia Military
Academy are deserving of the thanks
Of the people Of the state for the gen
crosby and patriotism in allowing the
handsome property to be used for the
rendezvous of the Columbia battery of
the First Tennessee field artillery.
This is the second time this summer
that the officials of the school have
turned over the property without COM
pensation for military purposes. The
Chickasaw guards, while here on
guard duty, used the campus for their
encampment
The boys of the local battery will
be here for the next ten days or two
weeks, going to the mobilization camp
at Nashville ON August 5, when they
will be fully equipped and be drafted
into the federal service. During the
time that must intervene between now
and then they will have the barracks
of the school for sleeping quarters
and will have the benefit of its splen-
did sewerage and light plant. They
will also have one Of the best drill
grounds in the state for their use.

ARTILLERY COLONEL.

Since the war department has de-
clined to permit Capt. Greer to accept
the colon slency of the First Tennessee
field artillery it may be necessary to
appoint a civilian to that responsible
position. If that should be the case
assuredly Gov. Rye will name Luke
Lea, the lieutenant colonel elect.
More than any other civilian in Ten
nessee he deserves the place. Due
very largely to the efforts of Luke
Lea this regiment has been organized
and when mustered into the service
will be practically at full war strength.
The personnel OF the regiment is un'
usually high. 1t numbers among its
members some OF the very finest
young men in the state. They can
be depended upon to do their whole
duty to the country and to the cause
of civilization for which they Will
fight.
Luke Lea Is not military man. bu'
neither was Theodore Roosevelt wheT
the Spanish-American war began. -bu
he made record that will always be
a source Of pride to every true blood
ed American. Neither were hundred:
of other officers in the civil war Wht
won glory fmperishable for American
arms.
Luke Lea is courageous: he Is cleaI
in life: he is Of a commanding per
sonalitv. he will do his duty. Tn
men Of the regiment will have conf
dence in his integrity, his devotion t
their interests. his love Of fair play
It is safe to say that no more popula
officer will serve in this war thai
Lake Lea. He Is Of the type of mer
strong, aggressive, born fighter
bred to lead men, quick to decide
clean in life. Of whom the oflcers G
the American army should be selec
ed. No other civilian should be col
sidered for colonel of the First Fiel
Artillery.
