as a matter of morals, IN any great
volume. 1t has declared that as
matter ct fact Germany could not win
the war in such fashion as to acquire
territory or impose indemnltles. That
is all. And this is a long way from
the Russian spirit, which IS one or
pure if Unbalanced ideallsm.
"No man can say that the growth
and spread of liberal and even Utopian
ideas IN Russia will not affect Ger
many. AS the war goes on it German
prospects continue to worsen, we snail
certainly have an ever-growing demand
in Germany for peace without annexa-
ton or indemnity.
:But what 1T IS essential to recog.
nize now Is that the completeness OF
the Russian collapse has wakened new
hope in Berlin and that this fact, added
to the still unshaken faith IN the sub
marine, has gwen Germany new ac-
cession OF confidence which is unms-
taxable and new expectation OF
emerging from the war with increased
territory and with some portion of the
costs of the war imposed upon the enc
my.
The example of Frederick the Great
in the Slleslan War is now in all Ger
man minds. Frederick fought all Eu-
rope for Silesia, and at the end re-
tained the stolen province. He was
saved by a Russian change of rulers.
Once more hope comes from the East. >

GOES UP HIGHER
Geo. 7. Renfro Made Special Agent for
American Sugar Refining Co.

George I. Renfro has just landed a
job that any young man might well
feel proud to hold. He has changed
from selling Red Wing grape juice to
the position of special agent for the
American Sugar Refining Company.
with headquarters at Nashville.
He has been made special agent for
!! the Nashville district and all orders
taken by the saesmen of the Amerl-
can company will go through his hands.
When it is remembered that the Amer
lean Sugar Refining Company is capi-
talized at ninety millions of dollars
and have a surplus of thirty millions it
Will be readily seen that the position
Mr.. Renfro now has is one that means
great advancement and better opportu-
mites, provided he makes good.
Mr.. Rentro started IN life poor
boy. raised on farm IN this county.
He first had charge of little retail
store at Crab Orchard. Later he went
on the road as salesman for Harri-
man wholesale house. From there he
accepted like position, with an IN
crease of salary, with a Nashville gro
Gerry house.
When the great temperance wave
swept over Tennessee that landed Ben
W. HOOPER in the governors chair, Mr..
Renfro was made secretary of the re-
publican state executive committee,
which place he held with marked abil-
ity until Newell Sanders was unhersed
by the election of j. s. Beasley.
Chairman Beasey had his preference
and Mr.. Renfro was let out for an
other. Never during his entire service
of four years was there the slightest
charge of wrong-doing or incompetent
cy brought against him.
When he retired from politics he
readily secured a position with one of
the large Nashville Wholesale grocery
houses. He held that place until the
went into voluntary liquida-
tion and retired from the field. From
that place he took up selling shoes for
one of the largest wholesale shoe
houses in st. LOUIS. A little later he
secured a more congenial and profitable
job with the Red Wing grape juice
company, which position he held until
his present appointment. While with
the Red Wing company, few months
ago, he madesa single sale of over
81 900 in grape juice to one concern,
which brought him an increase IN SAL
ary and a position of prominence as
salesman for the company.
1t was with much regret that he sew
cred his connection with the grape
Juice company but the sugar People
put before him such tempting out
ook that he felt justified IN making
the change.
When it is relnem bered that ne has
aever tailed to make good in any place
ne has held there is every reason to
expect him to make good with the
sugar people. HIS many friends in
his county Will be greatly pleased to
earn of his advancement and will con-
idently expect him to discharge the
iuties of the enlarged position with
such marked credit as Will lead him to
even a higher place than he now holds.

MEMORIAL. SERVICE AT
 ST. ANDREWS CHURCH
Rev. William, Smith Breaches Merer- ial Sermon. for Lately Deceased
 Memhers of Parish, ~elf'S 7

Owing to the death of. three mem hsrs her of St; Ss;,os Andrews @ church, Miss Bcwker and Mrs. Sidney L. chsppeil, within the past two weeks, the pas tor. Rev. William N. Smith, held a memorial service Sunday morning. The service was combination of the morning prayer and parts of the bur ial service, with the choir chanting louriai chants to special selections from the psalter. MT. Smith said: we would not for the world open afrssh bleeding hearts that have not could carry into them messages of sympathy. We would if we could bring to their side the strength Of df- y.ne comfort We would if we could fl ro1n their loved ones is only for time while their reunion with them sFall be eternal before the throne of God.
 ed over the loss of their fellow mem bers and the service was intended to be solemn recognition of it's loss and in this way to show its respect for the dead. Mir. Smith said that tine thought of the deceased would be like a desolate flower in the garden of our heart in whose dormant shadow the memory of their faces would ever shine. Their memory would keep our hearts more fresh, our hands more pure and our lives more just.
 The text of the sermon was taken from Samuel IT. 12:23,<'I shall go to Him" David had lost his son. Be- fore he died he was connfortless but after the death of the son had taken place he found comfort in the assur- ance Or future recognition. So also we in spite of our tears must find solace in the same assurance of reun- fen in the great beyond were the in4 dividuality of this life still to be maintained. MT. Smith argued that nothing but this idea of future rec ognition could possibly bring comfort to the weary naourners of the eadth. The services were concluded with the singing of Oh God.
