felt that she was looking at the place
called Paradise.

most important of her possessions.
She anticipated great contentment
sewing for village women and tending
the tiny garden and the chickens be-
tween stitches.
Dressmaking progressed slowly. but
Charlotte was not sorry, because she
begrudged every moment that she
spent within doors. AS a reward for
her excellent care her hens produced
more eggs than she could use. She
got six and seven a day and once
though her neighbor said It was most
unusual-she had eight eggs from
eight hens. But she averaged five a
day through the month. She was de-
lighted to realize that this number
would enable her to sell two dozen q
week and thus make her hens self-sup-
porting.
Her neighbor told her Of family in
the village that would pay her 90 cents
q dozen, but it was not until she ac-
tually fingered the 81 bill as payment
that she could believe 1t was true
Never had she earned money so easily
A few days later she went to hei
neighbor with a furrow between her
eyes.

Her neighbor laughed amusedly.

America; give 1T to her wholly-a

have to see to in becoming soldiers
is that you make yourselves wholly
true Though 1t be not exacted of
you. exact 1t of yourselves, this vow
If stainless truth And remember that
the highest law of this knightly
truth, is that under which Is vowed
to women. Whomsoever else that
you deceive. whomsoever you injure,
whomsoeveT you leave unaided, you
must not deceive, nor injure, nor
leave unaided, according to your
power, any woman of whatever rank.
Every virtue of the highest phases Of
manly character begins in this: In
truth and modesty before the faces
Of all maidens; In truth and pity or

Praises American Troops.

In speaking of the American
troops, Mr.. Berry dwelt on their i'm.
petuosity and their desire to battle
the Huns. AS an illustration he
told one instance that numerous
audiences throughout the state have
heard him relate and at which they
have always thrilled with pride
Q oy:
One battalion, firing of inacti-
witty, decided to make an attack on
their own 80 without getting orders
they went over the top. The Amer
leans surprised the Germans as they
were smoking in fancied security
and killed or captured 700 Huns.
while their own losses were compare
lively light. A few days after the
attack, | addressed the division of
which that battalion was a part, and
after finished speaking l shook
hands with every member of the
battalion, and without exception
they declared they were anxious to
repeat the feat. Gen. Pershing told
me one Of his chief difficulties WOO
in restraining the Americans.
Preparations to care for 3 1000 900
American soldiers in France already
have been made. Two hundred
miles of railway lines have been
constructed and barracks on a per-
manent basis have been built. What
does this mean? Itmeans that the
United States has hoisted the
Stars and Stripes in France and will
not lessen its efforts until the Job is
completed"
Mr.. Berry was spokesman OF the
war mission named by President
Wilson and composed of nine repre-
sentatives Of labor and nine repre.
sentatives of capital. The mission
left the United States in March and
returned en- May 81. During that
time Mr.. Berry made actresses in
the British House of Commons and
the French Chamber Of Deputies, be.
sides speaking AZ times In England.

The United States as leader
of democratic nations would have
been justified in entering the war to
help Belgium, to help France or to
help England. The records of tho
intrigues Of the German government
against the government of the Uni
ted States during the period of OF r
neutrality is an additional and su..
hcient reason for participation in
the war, and while the government
OF the United States is fighting for
the maintenance of democracy, and
fighting to conserve the rights of the
free peoples of our allied nations,
at the same time we should not dis
abuse our minds of the fact that we
are fighting to save our own integ-
rity as an INDEPENDENT and free nation.
IKE air raids upon London and
France and the use of the big gun
are largely political. The defense
OF London has been so strengthened
that raiding expeditions are min
imized until today this feature of
the German warfare against nom
combatants has been abridged.
The spirit OF the people of Eng
land, France, Belgium and Italy is
superhuman in its character. The
spirit for the continued prosecution
OF the war is as strong today in Eng
land as it was in the very beginning.
Their entrance into this war made
it necessary for them to purchase rs
per cent of their supplies. Notwith-
standing the fact that they have lost
over million and half men, dead,
today they are self-sustaining in the
matter OF war munitions and are
able in addition to supply much to
the allied countries. This is the
best answer as to the patriotism,
loyalty and determination of the
English people, and this applies to
all classes. There is a calmness
and determination that accentuates
ones convictions that ultimately
the allies will be the victors. The
roar OF the guns on the western
front, to be heard in London on
calm days, the air raids by night,
and the establishment OF very rigid
rationing, consisting of eggs and
fish mostly, has no terror for the
English people,"

DESCRIBES HORRIBLE
GRIMES OF GERMANS
Geo. L. Berry Saw Victims and
Talked to Witnesses.
U. S. SOLDIERS ARE DARING

Stories of Hun atrocities, revolt
ing in their utter barbarity. and in
stances of the courage of American
soldiers are told by George L. Berry,
spokesman of the American war
mission which spent nearly three
months in Europe.
Mr.. Berry, who lives at Pressmen's
Home, Rogersville, Tenn, is now
touring the state delivering actresses
daily on his observations abroad and
the duties Of the people over here. ;"
He spoke in Memphis Friday night,
arousing large audience to great
enthusiasm and high patriotic re-
solve by an eloquent address filled
with facts of the greatest interest.
As leader of the war missions, Mr..
Berry convinced the labor leaders
of Belgium, France, England, Italy
and Roumania that it would be fol-
ly to open negotiations with German
Socialists, but, on the contrary, the
only hope of enduring peace was in
victory on the field Of battle by the
allies. President Wilson declared
the work accomplished by the mis-
sion was surpassed in moral effect
only by the landing OF American
soldiers overseas.
"All the stories OF atrocities that
you hear are true" said Mr.. Berry.
Il went through number of hospi-
tails and saw many victims OF the
cruelty OF the Germans-men with
their ears cut off, their lips hacked
and the initials OF their torturers
cut in their foreheads, their cheeks
and their backs.
/ saw one man who had both
ears cut off, his eardrums pierced
and his tongue and teeth torn out.
But perhaps the most terrible of all
the black crimes committed by
Huns and OF which / learned was
told to me by Gen. Edwards, the
Oldest member of any army in the
world, a commander in the British
army.
"A French village, held by the
English, was captured by the Prus-
SLAMS, and in a counter-attack the
British retook the village. After
the attack an officer hurried to Gen.
Edwards and asked him to view the
most shocking atrocity he had ever
seen. Accompanied by his officers,
the general entered a cottage and
there he found man who had been
killed and then beheaded. By the
side OF the man a woman, while
near her was an unborn babe, and
in the place whence ithad been rip
ped had been thrust the severed
head of the man.

ton, strip less in size than Shelby
county, and thought how thousands
of Bslgians had bathed the soil
with their blood in opposing the
onrush of the Prussian military
machine. What are you contribu-
ting that democracy may triumph
Mr.. Berry said there was no
cause for alarm in the retreat Of the
allies on the western front. The
purpose Of the withdrawal, he said,
was to cut the big thug down to
our SIZE" With each advance made
by the Huns the allies kill three to
one.
There Is no doubt about oul
ability to hold the lines at which
we are to stand" he said. Con
tinuing he said:
This is a war of autocracy yer.
sus democracy. The issues are
clear and need no Interpretation,
The United States and its allies
are fighting in self defense. The
allied governments were peaceful
nations, unarmed, unprepared and
with no inclination to warfare.
They were attacked by the central
powers, who were prepared, who
desired trouble and who were tradi-
tionally warning country. The
struggle can be likened to the expe-
rience OF the peaceful being attack
ed by an armed thug in a dark al
ley.

The voyage to England was not
entirely without thrills, said Mr..
Berry, as a U-boat launched tor
pedo at the vessel on which he was
passenger. The missile missed
the ship by eight feet, but, as the
speaker phrased it, "a miss is as
good as a mile" Mr.. Berry was
asleep at 8 o'clock one morning
when he was awakened by dull
boom, which later he learned was
the torpedo that, after missing the
ship on which he was. struck bat

flicting some damage.
As he turned over to go back to
