PAPA.

The Committee appointed to present
resolutions for adoption by the Will
ans Bible Glass as an expression of
sympathy and respect to our fellow
member, Cy II. Lyle because OF MS
recent bereavement in the death Of his
wife, respectfully submits the follow
ing report:
1t is tenderly appropriate that on
this day dedicated to mothers we
should pause long enough to pay a
tribute of respect to q wife, faithful
and true, and mother, kind and
loving, one who minlstercd lnccasing-
ly in the sacred domain Of the home,
and whose going has brought dark
ness and grief to her husband and
children.
Therefore be it resolved. That We
the members Of The Williams Bible
Glass give in fullest measure our sin
cerest sympathy TO our brother and
fellow-member on The irreparaDle loss
that has left desolate his home;
That we pledge to him all the
strength of our friendship, the cour-
age of our confidence, and the as
surance of our faith;
That these resolutions be adopted by
rising vote, and that a copy be given
our bereaved brother and copy be
made of our action in the records OF
the Glass.

war supplies, is rapidly taking Rus
sia's place in the field. We have
more than half a million men in
France, more than a hundred thous-
and of whom are doing splendid work
On the firing line. The United States
should have half million men in the
trenches before the summer fighting
ends. Meanwhile, American soldiers
continue to pour into France in a
steady stream.
The Germans, who formerly attempt
ed to ridicule Americas entry into
the war, are now forced to admit the
importance of American beligerency.
They understand now, If they did not
before, that the United States stands
between them and success, that this
nation is powerful that it is determ-
ined, and that it must be defeated be-
fore Germany can win Therefore the
Germans are anxious for a decision in
the west before the United States can
arrive at the front in full force. In
this fact lies the explanation of Ger
many's present desperate offensive in
France and Flanders.
If the Germans should break
through the Allied lines and attain
their detectives in the west, il might
mean that the end of the end of the
war would be some years distant. But
the British and French, with the as
sistance America has been able to
render, so far have succeeded in hold
ing the Germans, who probably have
thrown their entire available strength
into this drive. If the Allies can con-
tinue to hold the Germans, while
America continues to send men to Eu-
rope, there is a possibility that this
year may see the last of the war.
Certainly, the prospect for peace be-
fore the end of 1919 would appear
promising.
The length of the war largely de-
ponds on America. If we now had
100000 soldiers and 10000 airplanes
in France, the end of the war would
| be in sight. The sooner we place
such force of men and machines in
France, the sooner the end will come
We must put all possible speed into
our war preparations and activities
and the people must earnestly support
every effort the government makes in
that direction Herald Courier.

AS TO THE END OF THE WAR

Discussing prediction of General
Robertson, that the war will last
long time, the Louisville Post says:
There is chance for the war ending
in 1918; the overwhelming probable
tiles are that it will not outliye 1919"
General Robertson should be in
better position to prophesy as to the
length of the war than an American
newspaper, yet there would seem to
be reasons for hoping and believing
that the struggle will end toward the
close of 1919, il not sooner. 1t largely
depends upon America.
The Russian collapse, followed by
Roumania's surrender, has released
the great mass of German and Aus
trian forces in the East for service on

A CANDIDATE TO
SUCCEED SHIELDS
R. T. McMANt'LE.
(By E. C. Reeves in J. C. s.

The democratic party of Tennessee
will soon select a candidate, by a
primary, to succeed Senator Shields
in the Senate of the United States.
Outside of some personal friends of
those who are, or may be, candidates
the people at large will or should,
look alone to qualification intellectu-
ally, and to integrity of characters.
Senator John X. Shields is nearing
the end of his first term. Por a num-
Der of years he served as a member
of the Supreme Court of Tennessee,
and for several years was the able
chief justice of that distinguished
court, and occupied that exalted posi-
ton when elected to the Senate, in
which body he took high rank at once,
and is now regarded as having but
few peers in that body, and no super
ior. He has been one of the strong
arms of the administration at Wash
ington. He has supported every wal
measure proposed by the administra-
ton, and every measure the passage
of which would be beneficial to the
public. AS to the latter his judgment
has never erred. He has been a faith
full representative of his state, and
has made more good reputation than
any Tennessee representative ever
made in a single term, probably, Car
mack not excepted. He is in the
prime of life, physically and intellect
ually. From experience he is better
qualified to discharge in an eminent
degree the duties devolving upon g
senator than when first elected; and
logically, better qualified than any
one can be without such experience
The Northern republican states rec.
ognize the truth found in the adage
practice makes perfect" and wher
they elect person who proves strons
and worthy, like Lodge and others
they retain him from term to term
and thus that party has always hat
a strong and influential panel o
senators in the United States Senate

will become more efficient and infu
entail, and would add to his alread!

fine reputation as a great constttu-
tional lawyer. Why should he not be
his own successor? Is there any rea-
on except that others who are out
desire to be in? Such will not appeal
to the public who desire efficiency.
Does the public good demand his re-
tirement? If so, it is Nighttime that
weakness and inefficiency in his work
be pointed out. But if he has strong
and efficient, and remarkably so, the
public should show it's appreciation
of his services by making him his
own successor.
The writer is of a most decided
opinion that the public welfare de-
mands that Senator Shields should
be his own successor.
