for in paraphrasng Gen Pershngs message Gen. March
said the French had called attention to the

obtain from statements GIVING THE EXACT NUMBER
OF CASUALTIES after raid and from official statistics
in the form of casualty lists WHICH GAVE THE PRECISE
EFFECTS OF A GAS ATTACK. Nothing in that about

to the practice of correspondents with the expedonary
forces telling exactly how many were killed wounded
the Germans made attack In the second instance

tended inform the Germans the precise effect Of their

be eliminated There particular need for giving the
number of American casualties after action and victims

were heavily armed and one or

as these are not under closer

held up men, robbed them, shot
them, took their vehicles from

the least reformed. Two of
these men have been captured,
but the third one is still at large,
and therefore no estimate can be
made on what he may do before
he is captured, all from a piece

In view of the fact that Hon.

ent very satisfactory incumbent,

ington, has only had one term,
and this QUE an nnbroken pece-
dent in Tennessee to give en-
dorsement to faithful servants,
we feel confident that Gov. Rye
is casting up a defeat. Had he
waited, doubtless the people
would have looked with more
kindness upon his aspirations.
Mr.. Shields. as is widely
known is a recognized authority
from a legal standpoint, and
at this time. when the destiny of
the very foundation of our Gov
eminent is being shaken by a
world-war that demands the
whole time of citizen and officials
in the capacity to which they
are best adapted, it seems that
it would be a bad policy for the
people of the state to remove a
man that is already in the har-
