various manufacturing enterprises
that could use the different units in
the manufacture Of various commodiT
ties for which there Is heavy com

available distances from Nashville.
Every Southern state east of the
Mississippi river should feel concern

fourteen basic peace principles
Y President Wnson does not propose
10 aet as al atitocraf Of The peace
table. But he has definite IDEAS
about certain phases Of the terms 70
be written, which, as the chief exc
cutiye OF the greatest nation in the
world he hopes to present to the dele
gates without the handicap Of having
his views distorted BY Others before
they are understood by those who will
pass Judgment upon them.
The entente nations have, already
given their word virtually officially
that the fourteen points will be made
The basis for the peace treaty. That
does not mean that there will not be-
any modification or extension OF those
principles. nor did President Wilson
mean in offering them that he would
not agree to the addition or ommis-
sion OF a word to make them conform
to existing conditions. But upon the
main principles he intends to stand
firmly until they have been given
fair consideration by the delegates
without influence from preconceived
opinions ais to their meaning.
1t is the duty OF Americans Of All
political opinions to hold their opin-
ions IN allegiance until the peaos
treaty has finally been presented 70
the United States senate for ratifica-
ton or rejection. Then Is when the
voice Of the American people should
be heard and then is when the sena-
tors may display their wisdom and
their ignorance without danger to-
their country. The writer's Of the
SO fixed the method Of
making treaties that the chief execu-s
tive might be free from the distract
ing conduct of the congress while
engaged with the delegates Of for
eign powers, but at the same time
so that nothing done BY him would
be final until 1t had been approved
by the senate representing the states
Of the union.
Until their time comes to speak, let
the senator's hold their tongues.

BeTpRNlNa SOLDIERS.

HETuRNlNG SOLDIERS.
No accurate estimate Of the number
OF soldiers and sailors from Maury
county Is available, but the selective
service records and a general knowi
edge Of enlistlaents in National Guard
regiments, the. regular army, macy
and marines makes 1t certain that
from 1900 to 500 mem whose homes
are in this county are now wearing
the uniforms OF their country's fight
fng forces. Less than 75 men from
this county have lost their lives
since entering the service and com
paratiyely few of them have been
either severely or slightly wounded.
As the demobilizationsof the Ameri-
can forces continues these men will
begin to trickle back to their homes.
An of them will return to or seek
employment and none Of them should
be permitted to seek in vain a means
or gaining q ltvliho0d.
This forthcoming situation should
cause no alarm, becansoS practically
ali Of the men who are; now in the
military or naval service were EN-
ployed before they enlisted or were
called to the colors Those who had
employment before they left can rel
turn to the same occupations when
they are demobilized The larger
percentage Of Marry county's sol
diers ana sailors were from the farms
or allied industries. There are as
many acres Of land to be titled now
as there were before 1.-THE war, For
almost a year the question of farm
labor had been a, serious one, because
OF the shortage Of man power created
by the demand for fighting men.
The returning soldiers and sailors
should relieve that shortage and REL

commodities that can come only from
thu soil. Their service on the farms

of the world almost as important as

The whole of Europe Is looking tol
