Gen. Crowder says that any num-
ber Of American troops necessary to
win the war--up to 10000 900 men
can and viii be transported to France
despite the efforts of the German sub
marines to prevent it. America has
the men, and if necessary will raise
the age limit to 60 years to beat the
Huns.
It has been announced that there
were no drafted men in the recent big
lighting, except probably few who
had been placed among the regulars
to bring the various regiments up to
war footing. Those engaged were
regulars, marines, New England state
guardsmen and the "Rainbown diyis-
ion which was composed Of guardsmen
from many states.

son TEACHING FATHER.

An English newspaper tells an in
teresting little story concerning q son
and fathcr-and, incidentally shows
to what extent this war is making
men Of boys, il anything is needed to
show it. The paper claims that II is
an actual instance, and quotes the
names of the parties.
1t seems that the son volunteered
as an officer in the army,where he has
seen a good deal of fighting although
he is only twenty years Of age at this
time. The father, man Of forty
five, recently wrote his boy that he
himself had entered the service and
had passed the physical examination,
Then the son sat down and gave his
father some good advice.
He. told him that he should make
up his mind to obey every order with
out question; that he sould not try To
put it across the drill sergeant, and
that he should be very careful Of his
health, and eat only the foods issued
to him. when you are regularly in
the service the son concluded, II
will try to have you transferred to
my regiment and it may be that can
have you made my orderly, where ]
can take care of you"
That is the attitude Of practically
every boy who has been in the SER
vice for any length Of time. He
knows that he knows more about il
than "the folks back home, and il
must be very amusing to him to re-
ceive letters from mother and dad ad.
vising him to "take care Of himself Z

STAMP MPAIGN
Is ABOUT CLOSED
Claiborne Has Subscribed $4287 More
Than the Amount Allotted to II BY
the Government.

Claiborne county's War Stamp cana
paign has about come to close, the
total reached being $s52,2s7, ors4287
more than the county's quota Of $34S,-
900.
Remarkable results have attended
the drive. There has been practical
ly no complaints, and everybody al
most to man, woman and child
has faithfully done his or her part.
The work was laborious, to be sure;
but those who had it in charge, from
the director to the clerks, worked
faithfully, and believed in their abil-
ity to carry the county over They
did not stop when the necessary
amount was not subscribed the first
day, but continued the campaign from
day to day until we were well beyond
the necessary amount.
What Claiborne did, other counties
can do. If they fail the fault is with
the director and his helpers. The
people will do their best If they are
properly led.
