there was change in the itinerary of the
Boosters anb Ducktown was marked down
for stop.
AS car after car rolled into Ducktown
station to meet the coming guests, the
good people of that burg opened their ewes
at the magnitude of the procession. By
actual count there were 68 automobiles
lined up when the Boosters train pulled
In at III o'clock.
Every horn sounded welcome and the
cheering ofthe crowd gave ample assurance
that the coming of the train was thoroughly
appreciated.
While the band played, the automobiles
quickly filled and the procession moved
toward Ducktown. On bluff lust this
this side of the station a motion picture
machine had been installed and the cars
were slowed down in order that picture
OF the scene might be obtained.
A halt was made at the Y. M. C. A..
where after music by the u T.. band,
Squire Vaughan introduced Col. [. d.
tyson who made a rousing speech for
patriotism. He addressed his remarks
to the young men and they were loudly
cheered.
The Ducktown public school children
attracted great attention from the Boosters
and flowers and other souvenirs were
freely distributed among them.
The children responded by a school
yell gotten up for the occasion and it made
a big hit.
Admiral Nelson and Captain Leonard of
the United States Navy, made talks urging
enlistments in the navy. Their remarks
as to Tennessee's loyalyt in furnishing
men in the past we're loudly cheered
and the people could have listened to
them an hour longer.

WAR BREAD

How soon must Tennessee and other
states go on Twar bread basis?
Since the beginning of the war; the be.
liggerent nations have been forced to in
crease their supply of flour by eating war
bread, that is to say, bread made of flour
in which greater percentage than usual of
the whole wheat berry is used Today
about Il per cent of the wheat put through
the mills of this country is converted into
flour, in Italy, IS per cent, in Switzerland,
30 per cent, and in France, II per cent.
European countries, furthermore, are
conserving their wheat to supply to
large extent by making bread from wheat
flour mixed with rye, barley, corn, or po-
tatoe hour in various proportions. No
one step could do as much to increare our
food supply Immediately as to put the
nation on a war bread" basis.
A very good war bread can be made
from one part peanut meal or corn meal
mixed with three parts ordinary bread
flour. The peanuts should be shelled,
hulled, and roasted, and then crushed with
rolling pins. Soy beans can likewise be
ground up and mixed with flour. Both of
these breads are delicious and nutritious,
and should be used to conserve our wheat
supply.
Now before necessity pinches us, these
are facts which should be considered in all
their possible practical bearings. 1t Is
stated on reliable authority that IS per
per cent wheat flour can be manufactured
in our mills without changing their ma
chinery. The most serious industrial
change which would be brought about by
the yield of flour from 72 per

European millers, have patriot cally
subordinated their business TO the interest
of the country as a whole, and | believe,

gladly cooperate. "War bread" or bread
make from whole wheat -four, is. for many
people, more healthful than white bread,

in the regulation of the human system.

TWO MANIFESTOES

On Thursday manifestoes were issued hy men of

cruel and unjustinable, are not suf-
f,ctent cause: for our going to war
with her because they have not been
prompted by real enmity toward the
United States or 4 desire to bring
about a war with this country.
The confederate states did not wish
to go to war with the United States
They desired merely to be permitted
to set UP their own government and
manage their own affairs in their own
way. Not shot need have been fred
in 1861 or afterward had not the fed
eral government insisted stubbornly
that there were principles at stake
which must be defended by force.
Had the national forces been with
drawn from Fort Sumter and all 9TH
er federal stations in the south been
evacuated. no blood would have been
spilled; and the entire south would
have rejoiced that its revolution has
been accomplished peacefully. 1t was
not enmfty toward the people Of the
north that caused the south to engage
IN war. It was the refusal Of the fed
eral government to permit the people
OF the south to have their own way, a
way which they considered necessary
to their well-being.
It was not enmity toward the Bel
gian people that prompted the Ger
man invasion Of Belgium. The Ger
mans could not go around. therefore
they went across. The Belgians, un-
fortunately for their own peace and
safety, but to their everlasting glory,
refused to get out Of the way. They
were tramped under foot. Their
country was turned into a shambles.
Their cities were reduced to ruins,
their fields were laid waste, and their
people were carried into foreign cap
tivity. At the beginning there was no
enmity In it. Had the Belgians rec
ognized the desperate need Of the
Germans. as Mr.. Bryan would have
America do, and yielded them right
'of way peacefully. not Belgian town
would have been sacked.

paign against Americans while the
negotiations are in progress.
Mr.. Bryan is under no illusions on
this point. He knows that Germany
means business, and because he does
know it, he advises that we keep away
from her until. her mad At Is over. The
chancellor has been very specific in
his former declarations that there will
be no mobilization Of Germany's
campaign Of frightfulness. That pol
icy was definitely and deliberately
adopted. and. It Is being carried out
to the limit Of Germany's ability. 1t
Is to be carried out ruthlessly in the
future.
The substance Of it all is there
fore. that unless we wish to have our
ships sunk and our people killed we
will keep them at home, and that in
process Of time. possibly within few
years. some commission yet to be ere
ated will decide whether or not we
should have been permitted to use
the seas under the ordinary regula.
tions of international law.
Just how such a decision would be
enforced against a nation which has
Germany's record of utter disregard
Of treaties does not appear. The sim
pie fact is that the whole Bryan pro-
posal is twaddle. The situation hal
reached a stage where there Is JUS
one of two things for US to do. sub
NIT or fight. If we submit we may al
we'll do so without reserve or equivo

Consistency has not been one Of
Mr.. Bryan's characteristics; but II 1t
has been. and Mr.. Bryan had lived IN
other times or other places. what
would have been his attitude?
He would have opposed the civil
war on the ground that It. could be
averted by the simple expedient OF
granting to the southern states the
independence which they demanded.
He would have been a thorn in the
side of Lincoln. and would have cost
the nation untold lives and untold
sums Of money by holding out to the
south the hope that divisions and dis
sentions in the north would lead to
the withdrawal of the union armies
and the abandonment Of the war.
And, with this consistency, which
he does not possess. had Mr.. Bryan
been a Belgian, what would have
happened? He. would have been In
favor Of granting to the Germans the
open road which they demanded. But
he would not have preached his doc
trine very long. Had any man in Bel
eium. in 1914, talked as William j.

JOAN OF ARC WOULD MEET

ordinary and wonderful example for
the Twentieth Century woman in Joan

not as if another Joan of Arc will
rise from our midst in this generation
to be COMMUNICATIVE of a great

thousands OF women in all parts of
the world are miniature Joans.
Joan OF Arc, more than any wom-
an who ever lived, stood for equality
and for woman's place in the world
not only alongside of man, but as the
leader OF man. What community is
there but has it's woman leader. it's
feminine mind that is more far-see-
ing than the masculine and more idea
listic?
First of all, Joan stood for a prin-
ciple. Inspired by the voices who
talked to her in her dreams, she was
determined she had a mission in life
to perform. Rebuffed, ridiculed
