Fight On to Berlin
And End War;"
Says Hun Prisoner

WITH THE CANADIAN FORCES
IN FRANCE, Aug. -(Canadian
Press. AT an early stage of the
British drive yesterday morning in
the Scarpe river section Scottish
troops reported the capture of three
trenches of the Hindenburg system
in their sector, and two hours and
ten minutes after zero the whole of
it was in their hands. This lack of
morale may be explained in some
slight degree by the inclusion of sew
eral hundred Alsatians among the
prisoners. One of these who spoke
perfect French, explained that he was
after all, content to be a prisoner.

WARRENSBURG

School opened Monday, the 10th
inst, with 181 enrolled. 1t is un-
questionably the best opening in any
school heretofore in the county. Per-
haps more. patrons were gathered to
witness and take part in, the chapel
services than in any other opening
of high school in Tennessee. Not
only those close by, but from dis
lance of several miles came. 1t GER
tainly speaks well for the school and
gives encouragement to the teachers.
1t is only the advance act of the
splendid cooperation between the
parents and teachers.
Prof. Burkhart, who is an ideal
Christian man and the best teacher
Greene county boasts Of, in speaking
to the student body said: "Boys
and girls, you are living in the great
est history-making time of the world.
Out yonder on the western battle
front men are dying for your lib
erty. 1t is up to you to make the
most of this school term so as to pre-
serve that liberty" He also said
that this was the hardest year the
high schools had ever had.
Because of wartimes, people are
wont to keep their children from
school to work. We should not do
this. We must sacrifice our children's
education or work. We will all sac
rifce the latter" if we think for a
little while Of the competition they
will meet in few years when they
get out in the world for themselves.
The young men who have gone to
France see the need of an education.
Ye scribe read letter from France
the other day, which said: "Get an
education; the educated are the ones
who are seeing an. easy time in this
war;" It behooves every boy and
girl in America to 60 to school be-
cause the public school is the safe
guard of Our American liberty.

"Uncle Bill" Scruggs also has sold
out his town property and will move
to the country.
Mr.. james Ayres says the school
at Orebank is progressing nicely. He
says he contemplates making regular
visits to that place.
Crops are looking fine throughout
this section. Every stalk of corn
with a big white ear sticking out
from the husk makes us think of the
kaiser.
The Boy Scouts from this place en-
joyed hike to the mountains a few
days ago, under their able Scout
master, Mr.. Dave Jones. Dave is a
stickler for sports and the boys have
found in him a large brother.
When we want some real news we
go get our little Daily Sun and read

not have to read column after col
umn to get the gist, but the Sun ed
itor puts it to US in clean dispatch

is why we like the Daily Sun.

CONSERVATION OF COAL

\
Conservation is another name for econ
omy, and economy has been defined ia
cetiously by some one whose name Is not
} important as "doing without something
you want in order to buy something you
don't want" That definition, however,
does not fit the kind Of economy you are
urged to use In cooperating with the
United States Fuel Administration.
You wanted coal last winter. You will
want it Just as much next winter. Just
think how badly you will want it If you
haven't got it.
More coal was mined in the United
States last year than ever before. In
spite Of that fact there was q shortage
Of millions Of tons. The United States
had entered the war, and every factory
had increased its demand. This year
there win be more factories. There will
be more demand for coal. Every war
industry will be working at top speed
turning out materials for ships and air
planes. and in making munitions and sup
plies Of all kinds.
Two things must be done to avert 9
greater shortage this year than occurred
last year. More coal must be taken out
Of the mines, and less coal put into house
hold furnaces, Increase in production
viii be difficult under any circumstances
It viii be impossible unless you cooperate
by ordering your coal now. This is not
exaggeration. It Is I cold fact.
Coal cannot be stored ct the mines and
when there are no orders to be filled the
mines close down. Your order will help
to keep them busy during the summer.
This is the only way production can be
Increased. The United States is rushing
troops to the aid Of the allies. This means
crowding the rails with passenger trains.
Il means using every freight car in the
country to keep munitions and supplies
Of al kinds moving to the seaports. It
means greater difficulty than ever be-
fore in keeping the coal cars moving to
ssnd from w hjHoGy x>s}s4 So isx-@t
Coal deliveries must b dis(plbuted
through the summer. They Hllnot not
they can not,-be delayed until the fall.
The Fuel Administration can not regu-
late the amount Of coal you shall burn
! eoch day. It has regulated, however, the
amount you win be allowed to buy. Your
retail dealers know how much you have
been accustomed to use, or should use,
and they have been warned BY the Fuel
Administration not to sell you more than
your normal supply.
i you waste that supply and run

annoyance, Inconvenience, sacrifice Of
pleasure, perhaps even loss Of income.
There is not one Of you who would hest
tate-to make heroic sacrifices. Will you
refuse, then, to make those small sacri-
fices without which America can not win
this war? Will you jeopardize the lives
Of those boys who are fighting for you
by refusing to save coal, when every
shovelful you save means . shovelful for
the factories that are making the NUM-
lions, the food, and the clothing for
them?
Does your blood boil when you read
and hear Of Prussians atroeitiesf Do-yaa
see rsd when ye6s red Of the air raid1

children? Do you want to get into the
fight? You can fight Germany by heed

Troops Require
90, 900 Items

The complcNity of this problem in
manufacture, storage and distribution
is suggested by the fact that the nu,,
Der of items to be made and supplied
TO the troops Will total about 100. coo.
ranging from the small striker or fly
ing PIN Of rifle TO q complete 1G-!nch
gun and empiaccment, or TO motor
truck OF tractor. AS an illustration. a
certain gun with its disappearing car
rage has 1890 parts, exclusive Of
sights and accessories. A 3-irch pun
battery requires 1876 tools. accessories
and supplies which are simply part Of
the standard outfit of every 3-inch pun
battery. Reserves in all these snare
parts must be maintained and the dis
tribu,ion carried out with utmost eff
cheney under difficult circumstances.
The problem OF the Ordnance De
