skies in search Of night raiders, per
ceived a German bombing machine,
twisting and turning in the grip OF
several British searchlights.
The British pilot dived to the at

burst into flames and begun to futter
earthwards, like a huge burning leaf.
Suddenly, the British machine rocked.

vanished in a binding flash. One OF
its own powerful bombs had ex-
ploded, blowing it to pieces. s

EACH BRITISH
SOLDIER TO BE
GIVEN WORK
Plans Being Worked Out to
Help Discharged Men
Obtain Land.

London, Friday, Nov. Is, via Mon
treal.-Each British soldier will be
provided with employment after the
great armies in the field have been
demobilized, according to plans
which are now being worked out by
the government. The machinery OF
war will be turned into machinery of
neace as expeditiously as possible so
that there will be no period of stag
nation during which there might be
much distress. Money grants to
civilians and former soldiers who are
unemployed owing to peace, are to pc
provided. There will be extra allow
Ances for dependents. These grants
will run for 10 weeks for civilians
and 26 weeks for discharged soldiers.
Men employed in pivotal indus
tries and mines will be the hrst TO
be discharged from h army n
workers in other trades will be re-
leased according to national needs.
Married men will receive preference.
For a year after the war permanent
appointments to the civil service will
be reserved to officers and soldiers.
Plans are being worked out to give
soldiers special facilities to obtain
land. Men from dominions m
ployed at war work in England will
b. quickly released. Production of
materials needed in the building
trades will be expedited. Iron and
steel will be raised from control at
once and other metals will be placed
on the pre-war basis in six months.
Winnipeg, Man, Nov. 16.-Thou-
sands Of acres Of farm lands in the
Canadian northwest are being set
aside for returning soldiers.
Prominent government and railroad
officials recently declared in public
addresses and in interviews that
everything possible would be done to
provide farms and homes for the men
who fought for England and her
colonies.
It is understood that scores of
Canadian soldiers who have married
English and French girls nave already
applied for homesteads and that a
movement is on foot to establish
Soldier colonies" throughout the
western provinces.

Dear Brother:
| have waited a long time to
write any one, but have been
where | couldn't write.
On May 31st 20 men out of this
company left here to go on a two
day truck train, and we were
gone almost two weeks. We
brought over a thousand trucks
from the front to this side of
Paris. We usually made one trip
a day, with 60 to 80 cars in each
train, and we had several tour
ing cars, from flivers to seven
passengers. ! led the train one
day with a big touring car, one
that made all kind Of speed.
had a Frenchman with me for a
guide, and | sure did do some
running. There was only one
other car that keep up with me.
We were in the danger zone
all the time we were gone. Could
hear the artillery most all the
time, and in air raids every day
and night. The long range gun,
big Bertha" dropped shells all
around us. Several fell in sight
and one in DO yards of me. 1t
just blew a hole in the ground
about..6 feet deep, Is feet in diam
eter. 1t didn't hurt any one, as

Dear Sister:
We are now located in train
ing camp and think will be here
for quiet a while. 1t is much
better here than where we were
at first. The surrounding count
ry is very beautiful, and some of
the prettiest farming country
that | have ever seen. There are
good roads everywhere, marked
off by hedges and nice shade
trees, some of which must be
more than one hundred years
old.
The farms are very small thou.
and the few that are left to till
them seem most industrious.
My worst disappointment, is
that 4 cannot speak or under
stand French. | have learned
only a few words, but hope to
learn quiet a bit of the language
while here.
Monday we will begin our re-
gular drill again, which will be
about one half of each day. |
am sure we will have a very in
teresting course, much of which
will be of permenant benefit.
Our officer take deep interest in
our welfare, and | am sure we
will get the best there is to be
had here.
There is no need to be uneasy
about me. for am fareing fine.
and see no reason why | will not
continue so. We are not close
enough to the freing line to be

ed among the sun kissed hills OF
dear old Tennessee, away up on
the mountain where we nip

Knoxville is beautifully locat-

has stood by us these many years,
making possible our life and hap
piness, but who now having been
drawn into the great world war
is spending his billions of dollars
and offering up his devoted sons
for the cause of justice and of
right. We are only glad to serve
such a cause under the floating
banner of true democ racy.
May we all look into the smil-

ciples of true government be per-

There are between seven and

WILL The DEMOCRATS
SUPPORT The MAN
WHO STAYS ON
The JOB.

NV liSnO IllllhlnS man mas
ever questioned the patriotism
or the ability of President Viii,
son. He is today the world lead
er, The Allies regard him as
their spokesman and the com
posite representative of their
aims and ideals. He looms large
upon the horizon of world affairs
surprising all in wisdom and
foresight and ability. He has
endeared himself to all the peo-
pies and immortalized himself
because of his achievements.
One explanation of his accom-
pIishments, of his ability to do
more than he said he would do,
is the support Of a patriotic Con-
gress.
Without the unqualified sup
port of the administration by
Republicans and Democrats in
Congress the President would
have been hampercd, embarrass,
and perhaps would have failed
individually although it is un-
thinkable that the cause in which
we are engaged could have had
any but a successful termination.
One of the ablest and most 10y
al supporters of the President is
Senator John K. Shields. He is
regarded as one of the ablest, if
not the ablest member of the
Congress. His information and
legal ability is equal to that of
the Senate, and his Knowledge
of constitutional law on many
occasions has been made avail
able for the guidance of the
President. who makes no claims
to being authority on constitu-
tional law. +.
In the first term of his career
in the Senate he has established
himself as one of the truly great
men of that body. He has COM
mittee appointments which, in
the usual course, come to men
only after long years of service,
His eminent qualifications have
made him a credit to the State
that has the honor to claim him
as its representative.
Senator Shielde is opposed by
Gov. Rye. 1t was Senator Shields
who contributed as much as any
other man to the nomination of
Gov. Rye for a second term.
With no avowed opposition. Gov.
Rye was able to go to the second
convention that nominated him
with only a few more votes than
were required to nominate, and
if some leading figure in politics
had declared himself for another
candidate Gov. Rye would not
have received the nomination.
His record was such that he did
not commend himself to many
Democrats as worthy of a second
term. Senator Shields insisted
that he should have a second
term.
In contrast with Senator Shields
attitude toward Gov. Rye after
having served two terms, a can
didate against Seuator Shields.
who is making the race for the
customary second term and the
endorsement of the Democrats
of Tennessee.
Gov Rye is going about over
the State arousing political feel
ing and factionalism. After a
season of political quiet in Men,
phis the Governor came here and
precipitated factional fight
that has done more to take the
attention of the people of Men,
phis and Shelby county from the
war activities in which they have
been engaged that he can ever
continued to page a

GOV. RYE The LOGICAL
CANDIDATE FOR SEN

growing cut OF the war SITUATION,
and more especially, the interest
which was manifested in the sale
of War Savings Stamps. which
has just closed, has consumed
the entire time of the people, to
such an extent that it was next
to impossible to arouse any in
terest in politics, or to consider
the merits Of the candidates for
public Office.
AS stated this condition was to
be expected, but since the cam
paign for the sale of War Savings
Stamps has closed. and in as
much as less than one month
now remains until the primary
election, at which Democratic
candidates for state and Federal
offices will be nominated. it be-
hoves the people democrats es-
pecially to give some attention
and consideration to which of the
two candidates for the Democra-
tic nomination for United States
Senator will best serve our coun-
try in this hour of need as states
man in the upper house of the
United States Congress. 1t is
worse than folly to assume that
either of the two distinguished
gentlemen who are aspiring to
this nomination has monopoly
on ability, craftsmanship or pat
riotism. Both of them have held
public Office in Tennessee for a
number of years. and their Off
cial records and private lives are
known to the people.
Governor Rye. by his quiet.
honorable, craftsmanship, within
the past four years, as chief Ex-
ecutive of Tennessee has deliver
ed the State from a cesspool of
partisan politics and has re-unit-
ed the Democratic party, as pro-
badly few men in the state could
have done. He has kept his pre-
election pledges, has deceived no
one and has administered the af-
fairs of the great Office of Cover
nor in a bold. open-handed and
business like manner. His ad-
ministration is without criticism.
and his political and private life
is above reproach. He has rem
dered valuable assistance to our
great President in carrying out
all his war measures and has act
ed in thorough harmony with
the war officials in all their un-
dertakings throughout the state,
in such a way as to convince the
most sKeptical as to his loyalty.
and to familiarity with the needs
of the Government at this time.
He has also shown that he is in
perfect accord with the admins
tration at Washington. No one
need to hesitate to support Gov
ernor Rye on the ground that he
is incompetent. or unfamiliar
with the plans of administration
and the needs of the country.
Senator Shields was first elect
ed as a member of the Supreme
Court of the State of Tennessee,
by the regular and united demo
cracy. He was next elected to the
same position by a fusion of De-
mocrats and Republicans who
were tired and unwilling to long
er tolerate conditions which ex-
listed in the Democratic party and
in the capitol building at Nash
vile. which office he, in a few
months after his election relin-
quished to accept the position he
now holds. to which he was elect
ed by reason of a split among
Democratic members of the Leg
islature and a few Republican
members. who were trying to
further disrupt the then weak
and disorganized Democratic par
ty in the state. For a time he
