Trench Torches

The Red Cross wants every
boy aud girl to come to head
quarters on Il Saturday after
noon and make torches for the
soldiers in the trenches. These
torches can also be made at
home in the following way:
Cut seven strips of newspa-
per, two columns wide, roll
very tight, slipping in Il new
one when preceding one is near
the end. Keep tight and even,
tie with a string tnat is strong,
out not too heavy. Melt paraf
lin or the ends of candles until
perfectly liquid and put in the
torches and keep them in for
one and onc-half hours. Take
out torches and stand them up
to cool. DO not remove string.

Boy Scout
Notes

The uniform used by the Boy
Scouts is practically the same
as the u. S. Army uniform and
the law forbidding the wearing
of this uniform by others than
members of the Army and Boy
Scouts is being put in force.
While the Boy Scouts are au-
thoriZed to wear the uniform,
it is necessary that they wear
some sign that will readily
mark them as Scouts and with
this in view, all Scouts when
appearing in uniform will wear
in their hat the badge of the
class to which they belong.
The Boy Scouts, of London,
have opened a club for soldiers
and others who are or have
been members of h @ Boy
Scouts, and have extended invi-
tations to our troopers who have
been in the Scouts, to make use
of the club, which offers oppor-
tunities for recreation, rest and
light refreshments.
Col. Theodore Roosevelt late
ly addressed 1900 Scouts at
Mineola, n. Y, and said: "No
man is entitled to privilege if
he does not perform a duty.
You Scouts can't enjoy the
privileges of a Boy Scout if you
stay out and don't do the work "
The percentage of the Boy
Scouts in Big Stone Gap will
have to increase.
The National Counsel has
called for report of the
amount of food supplies grown
| this season in Scout gardens
and troop gardens. All Scouts
should make up list at once
and hand it to the Scout Mas
ter.

Race Horse Dies After Re-
markable Victory

In the first horse race witnessed
at the Wise County Fair Friday
afternoon, the spirited horse of
r. I. Booker, of Abingdon
stumbled, regained his feet,
leaving the jockey on the track
and dashed away to victory
But the strain was too severe,
for the animal died in the sec
ond race before mo had gotten
we'll under way, as the result of
a bursted blood vessel.
Immediately after the first
race, when,the horse was sweat
ing from the efforts of the vic.
tory, Mr.. Booker was offered
81 800 for the animal. 1t was
only twenty minutes later that
the horse died.-Norton Report

Why We Are
At w az


Germany has forced America,
as it has forced practically the
entire world, to defend itself by
arms. We are fighting this war
because Germany made war
upon us. America is u peaceful
Nation; we have no lust for con-
quest, no desire for annexation
of territory; we are defending
ourselves against Germany be-
cause the Imperial German
Government entered upon u
program which meant the de.
struction of all American insti.
tutions.
When we finally recognized
that Germany was waging war
upon us we had seen more than
225 Americans, among them
many women and children,
killed by German submarines;
hospital ship5 had been sunk
and unfortitied towns had been
bombed and bombarded. Med
ais had been struck in honor Of
the sinking Of the Lusitania,
the murderous act by which so
many Of our men, women aud
children, lost their lives. Ger
man officials had treated the
United States, n neutral nation,
as an enemy. Strikes were or
gained in this country, plants
were blown up, pro German
publications We're founded and
subsidized, and hatred of
America was Systematically
sought to be inculcated among
our foreign-born inhabitants.
Every effort was made to in
volve us in trouble with Japan
and Mexico. Our repeated pro
tests were met with promises
and explanations which were
little better than insults.
The Imperial German Gov
eminent finally proclaimed the
unrestricted destruction of neu-
trail ships upon the high seas.
1t was the notification to the
United States that our people
were no longer sovereign, and
that if they would sail the seas
in safety we must conform to
conditions laid down by Gov
ernment shat defied information.
al law, humanity, and element
al morality.
y policy of terrorism has been
systematically applied by the
Imperial German Government
since the outbreak of the Euro
pean war. Treaties that stood
in the way of German militar-
istic plans have been disregard
ed, women and children have
been treated with indoscribable
brutality, the MODEST works of
art have been destroy ed, and
prisoners have been abused and
maltreated and civilian popula
tons massacred and deported.
This is why America has gone
into this war in defense of
American honor and American
rights. 10 have done anything

CASTE YIELDS AN INFLUENCE
SantaIs Prefer Starvation Rather Than
to Eat Food Cooked by the
Brahmins.

Occupation is still preserved among
the Indian natives by Inheritance and
tradition, SO that the diversion of la
Dor to industrial pursuits has been
an almost impossible task confronting
the British government, the National
Geographic Magazine observes. The
supply of agricultural labor constantly
Outruns the demand, thus keeping the
wage scale extremely low. Caste also
prevents people from leaving crowded
districts and going to sparsely inhab-
tied regions, of which there are many.
In time of distress the restrictions
which caste throws about rescue and
relief work would be exasperating if
they were not so tragic. For example,
in the terrible Orissa famine thousands
of Santals persisted, in the midst of
ample supplies furnished by the gov
eminent, before it was discovered that
there is a peculiar tenet of their faith
which fOrbids them to touch food
cooked by Brahmins. It was also dis
covered that skilled weavers would not
go to the ordinary relief work camps
for fear that the hard labor would
cause them to lose the delicacy of
touch which they value so highly.

ALLIED TROOPS WIN GROUND,

French RepuIse Attack.

British Front in Belgium, Oct. 81
At an early hour the Canadians had
taken stand in the neighbOrhoOd of
the famous Crest farm, only 400 yards
from the heart of the town of Pass
chendaele.
The troops from overseas fought
their way along the Bellevue spur for
several hundred yards, and repulsed
a heavy cOunter-attack from Mossel-
markt.
London, Oct 31.-The Germans
have been driven back at places to
depth of nearly 1000 yards in the
British drive on the Ypres front, Reu-
ter's correspondent at British head
quarters reports.
The war office simply reports that
the British attacked north of the
Ypres-Roulers railway, and that "good
progress was made"
Paris, Oct. 31.-A German attack on
the Aisne front near Cerny was re-
pulsed by the French, the war office
announces.
