ATTENDED FOOD CONFERENCE
AT STAUNTON.

Geo. C. Pcery, local food admins
traitor, returned Sunday from a con-
ference of the food administrators of
the State, held at Staunton last week.
"Mr. Hoover was present and ad-
dressed the conference. His ad-
DRESS" said Mr.. Peery, Impressed
his hearers with his intense earnest
ness, his absolute mastery of our
food situation and his desire to do
impartial justice as between the many
conflicting interests involved
"Our food problem for the year
ending July 1, 1919, is to ship over
seas 17,550,OOO tons of food as
against 11,820,000 tons last year.
This necessitates the most thorough
conservation all along the line. The
gospel of the clean plate must be
practiced in every home.
The prime duty of every Ameri-
can is to help win the war. Food
for our soldiers and our allies is in
dispensable to the winning of the
war. America must furnish so per
cent more food than she did last
year.
"Let every American save food ev-
cry day to the utmost, so that it may
be sent to our soldiers and our al
lies overseas"

ASLEEP ON THE FIELD OF HON.
OR.

Two gold stars-one for Sidney
Baxter Coullilg, who died at Fort
Slocum, New York, October 4th; the
o'.her for William Edward Peery the
Third, who died at Camp Dix Octo-
Der 5th, testify with mute eloquehce
that two of Tazewell's gallant lads
are asleep on the field of honor. Upon
two homes Il cloud has descended,
through which the light filters. And
this community has laid its first su-
;premc offering on an altar that rep
resents not only local and national
sentiments of patriotism, but the
common good of all mankind.
1t was not the fate of these brave
young men that they should fall in
battle, but that will not diminish the
honor that will forever attach to their
names; it will but tend to hallow their
memories in the hearts of the Taze-
well people. With the surge of high
adventure in their blood and with the
desire cf the unafraid to strike for
the things their country held dearer
than life and peace, they were de-
MED the privilege of contact with the
foe. They were eager to go across;
they were eager to meet the Hun.
They could have claimed exemption.
lHdeeu, haa their physical condition
been known, by the authorities, they
would not have been accepted. But
they scorned even the implication of
slackers. They would not be de-
MED. This record will stand to their
credit as long as the history of our
participation in the war shall endure.
Their chivalrous dust sleeps in ma
tive earth, each fair young body
wrapped in. its country's flag of
stars. Whfe youth was yet weaving
the fabric of their dreams, with faith
unspoiled and hope flashing the way,
they started on the Beautiful Adven-
ture. t*+

BUY LIBERTY BONDS,
DAN GER!

Because of the great sorrow
throughout the nation on ac-
count of the deaths of so large
a number of fine boys in the
training camps, the enthusiasm
Tor the success of the Fourth
Liberty Loan has been greatly
diminished, as Il consequence of
which the greatest calamity pos
slble threatens-the failure of
the loan to go over the top.
In view of this distressing and
critical condition it is up to ev-
cry man and woman in Tazewell
County to double their efforts
and see that the great County OF
Tazewell can answer here when
the roll is called at the close OF
the campaign.
In spite of the misfortunes
that may befall us at home, we
must not overlook the boys in
the mud and trenches in France
who are fighting our battles for
us, and who are keeping the
bloody hands Of the German
brutes from the throats Of our
fine young girls. One of the Tro-
ply train speakers said Monday
afternoon that we have sent our
boys to France with the promise
to stand by them, and that if we
fail in the least to give them
every possible means of pro-
lection we are nothing less than
murderers.
Don't forsake the boy in his
tdilema. If you do you had bet
ter hide your face when the
"boys come marching home"
The Huns on the run; we've
got him begging; let's all strike
now while the irons hot and get
it over with.

SELL BONDS! BUY BONDS.

A telegram from the Liberty
Loan" Office in Richmond of this date
urges that all committeeman put in
creased energy into the campaign.
Success of the Fourth Liberty Loan
is as essential to war success as it
was when the first campaign was
launched. The boys at the front are
putting up the man power; it is up
to US at home to put up the money
power-both are absolutely essential.
The boys are not only ready to
drive on to victory, but anxious to
do so. Our willingness and ability
TO buy Bonds is the measure of our
fidelity to them in this the greatest
crisis in our history.
The fact that Germany cried for
peace, only emphasizes the impor-
tance of hitting harder blow.
The world cried for peace in 1914,
but Germany would not hear. The
blood of millions of innocent persons,
including the blood of our own boys,
cries out from the ground, declaring
that the inhuman slayers shall be
shackeld before peace is made with
them. NOW, while the enemy begins
to feint and ask for peace, NOW is
the time for liberty to drive home
the blade that will make a long and
lasting peace.
After the war there will be three
classes of men among US: those who
went, those who supported them 10y
ally, and the Stacker. Make your
choice. Buy bonds to your limit.

BEGS
U. S. TO QUIT
Addresses Note President Will
son Asking For Suspension of
Hosiilities on Land, on Wa
ter and in the Air.

Following is the text of the note
OF Germany, addressed to President
wilson, asking for an armisticc on
land, on water and in the air:
"The German government requests
the President of the United States
OF America to take steps for resto-
ration OF peace, TO notify all belliper-
ents OF this request, and to invite
them to delegate plenipotentiaries for
1he purpose of taking up negotiations
Inc German government accepts as
basis for peace negotiations, the
program laid down by the President
oil the United States in his message
to Congress of January s, 1918, and
IN his subsequent prOnouncemcnt,
particularly i'll his address of Septcm-
ber 27, 1913. In order to avoid fur
ther bloodshed, the German govern
ment requests to bring about imme-
diate conclusion of general armis-
tlce on land, on water and in the air.
Wilson's Reply.
Sir: / have the honor to acknowl-
edge, on behalf of the President, your
note of October Sth, enclosing the
communication from German gov
ernment to the President: And / am
instructed by the President to re-
request you to make the follow
ing communication to the Imperial
German Chancellor:
Before making reply TO the re-
quest of the Imperial German gov
ernment and in order that the reply
shall be as candid and straightfor-
ward as the momentous interests in
volved require the President of the
United States deems it necessary to
assure himself of the exact meaning
of the note of the Imperial Chancel-
lor. Does the Imperial Chancellor
mean that the Imperial German gov
ernment accept the terms laid down
the President in his address to the
Congress of the United States on the
9Th of January last, and in subsepu-
ent addresses, and that its object in
entering into discussions would only
be to agree upon the practical de-
tails?
"The President feels bound to say
with regard to the suggestion of an
armistic that he would not feel at
: liberty to propose a cessation of arms
to the governments with which the
government Of the United States is
associated against the Central Pow.
fers SO long as the armies of those
powers are upon their soil. The goot
! faith of any discussion would mani
festly depend upon the consent oil
the Central Powers Immediately tc
withdraw their forces everywhere
from invaded territory.
/ "The President also feels that he
is justified in asking whether the
! Imperial Chancellor is speaking mere
! ly for the constituted authorities Of
the Empire who have so far conducted
the war. He deems the answer tt
these questions vital from every
point of view.
"Accept, sir, the renewed assur
Iances of my high consideration

FOR THEIR
COUNTRYSSAKE
Sidney M. b. Coulling and VIM
e. Peery, Jr., Answered the
Call - Pneumonia Claims
Many Tazewell Boys.

The community of Tazewell has
experienced its first casualty in the
great war. Last Sunday afternoon
the remains of Sidney Matthias Bax-
ter Coulling, Jr., were laid to rest in
the Jeffersonville cemetery-a Taze-
well contribution and sacrifice to the
cause of world freedom.
As stated in this paper last week
young Coulling was taken i'll at Fort
Slocum, New York, where he had been
in training. He was ill only few
days. His parents, Judge and Mrs.
S M. B. Coulling, of Tazewell went
to New York last week and accom-
panied the body home.
The deceased was born in Tazcwell
on the 18th of July, 1890. Before en-
listing in the service he was prac-
ticing attorney in Wyoming County,
West Virginia, member of the law
firm of Bailey and Coulling. Mr..
Bailey is prosecuting attorney of
Wyoming county, and Mr.. Coulling
had been his assistant.
Sidney Coulling graduated from
Tazewell High School VIXEN he was
15 years old. In 1912 he graduated
from Hampden Sidney, taking the
debator's medal and orators medal,
one in the junior and one in TIE Sc
nior year.
In 1916 he graduated from Wash
ington and Lee, taking the first law
prize. The summer of his graduation
he spent rs law clerk for Judge Mar
tin Burks, who was then revising the
Code of Virginia. AS soon as nc ac-
quired residence which would
enable him to obtain Il certificate to
practice law in West Virginia, he
commenced practice with Mr.. Bail
ey and continued until he went to
Fort Slocum.
His vacations and time between
schools were spent as stenographer,
first in the lew Office of Messrs
Chapman and Gillespie ut Tazewell
and last in the office of Cook, Litz
and Harmcn at Welch.
The deceased, altho physically dis
qualified for general military service,
was determined to bear mans part
in making the world Tree, and enter
ed the limited service at Fort Slo-
cum, New York, where he had been
only two weeks when i,c was seized
by the fatal malady. Before leav-
ing Fort SlOcum the usual funeral
honors were paid him by the mill
Csti " anu MI. tlul MIL hiIlttll, ii lIlGlil-
ber of his company, was detailed to
accompany the remains to Tazewell.
Funeral services were held in the
Methodist church Sunday afternoon.
The services were in charge Of the
Rev. II. e. Kelso, pastor of the NJ
E. church, assisted by Rev C. r.
Brown and DR.. Long, of Martha
Washington College. As token of
the esteem in which the deceased
and the surviving members of his
family are held, the church was
crowded to the doors. A profusion of
flowers, of many and beautiful de-
signs, were sent by friends of the
family.
Lieutenant Louis R. Coulling, the
only brother of the deceased, came to
Tazewell from Camp Gordon to be
present at the funeral and remained
here several days. In addition TO his
parents, Judge and Mrs. S. NJ. b.
Coulling the deceased is survived by
two sisters, Misses Martha and Mary
Coulling.

success OF Lonn of Greater Import
ance Than Any Other Yet Made"

my othet let hluUc.
i regard the success of the Fourth
Liberty Loan of greater Importance
man any call heretofore made by tho
government. The American md Al.
ned forces could better afford to lose
the great battle on the Western front
than for this loan to fail. The fail
ure OF this loan would encourage Ger
many and would lower thee morale
OF the Allied forces, and in this way
prolong the war and result inthe
death OF perhaps million of our
men. II this loan goes over the ton
with hurrah and vim il will hasten
the end of the war and save many of
our men from death.
1t Is tho patriotic duty of every
citizen of this county to subscribe to
tins loan to the utmost limit of his
ability and to see that his neiphbor
docs likewise. We are not giving but
lending our money, with the absolute
assurance it will be returned to MS
with interest, so we are not making
much sacrifice in subscribing. But
even il we should never get il back,
shall we let that influence our nc
tion when the lives of our boys are
MT stake?
Let us act, act promptly, act nobly,
act fully in the matter, and sustain
and save our boys, aud ond this war
by crushing Gcrmuny and bringing
Il listing pence to the world.
