A SHORT, BEAUTIFUL LIFE
ENDED.
Smyrna, Tenn, Mar.

Smyrna, Tenn, Mar 10, 1918.
The death angel visited the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Jordan aBtey of R.
No. 2, Smyrna, Tenn, (Rocky Fork
Monday night, March II, 1918, and
took their little daughter, Ella Gene
va, who was nine years, three
months, seven days old. Ella Geneva
was dear little girl, obedient both
at home and at school. When able
to be up she was always on hand to
help mother or auntie Sue when they
had work to do. We had the pleas
ure of being her teacher for a part
of two terms and can say that she
was one of the most studious pupils
have ever had After she was I'M
able to attend school she kept up
her studies as long as she was able
to be out of bed. She loved the
good and beautiful and expressed her
desire to unite with the church.
We miss her; we loved her so
much but we can only bow our
heads in humble submission to His
will. We know she is now safe in
the arms of Jesus.
Her funeral was largely attended:

gress had known what the govern
ment was about.
The president will be greatly bene-
flied. though he has heretofore shown
no great enthusiasm to receive the
benefit, by conference between the war
council and leading congressman. 1t
is assumed that, at least indirectly, he
will at least be confronted from time
to time with views contrary to his
own. 1t is quite certain he rarely
hears them from any Of his present
close adverse" 1t does not follow
that the presidents view will be or
need be subordinated. But brush
ing up against dissimilar opinions is
bound to do good.
From the political standpoint, which
it is very certain the administration
did not overlook, hostile criticism OF
governmental mistakes will be large
ly forestalled by making the potential
critics both conversant with policies
and in some degree committed to
them.

TAKING DUTCH SHIPS.

The decision of America and Great
Britain to take over harbor bound
Dutch shipping, with compensation to
the owners is merely the playing of
a trump in the diplomatic game that
has been going on and that all the
parties concerned have known to be
going on for months. Only recently
Germany played her high card, which
was nothing more nor less than a
threat.
All the so called wave of hostility
toward the Scandinavian countries and
Holland that has appeared in the Ger
man press was inspired with the OBJ
ject of frightening those countries
from making necessary economic deals
with the western alliance 1t was a
manufactured wave, just as all the
other similar waves that develop in
Germany are manufactured. Holland
knew it. The Scandinavian countries
knew it. 1t was that, indeed, that
made 1t the more disturbing. The
small European neutrals know only
too well that Germany is ready on any
pretext to take any measure, no mat
ter how indefensible, if she feels it
to her immediate interest to do it.
And the plight of those neutrals, par
ticularly Holland and Denmark is
pitiable. They must have food, and
only the allies can give them that in
quantity. They are determined not
to jeOpardize unnecessarily their neu-
trality, which means their national
existence. And Germany is in a posi-
ton to ride rough shod over that. The
small neutrals, and especially Holland
and Denmark, are between blond and
bloody devil and very blue sea.
The reasons of America and Great
Britain for putting Dutch ships tC
work need neither defense nor, il
would seem, explanation. All will be
done with jealous regard for interna
tional law and the ultimate interest!
of Holland. 1t is quite possible, al
Washington hints, that The Hague il
not unwilling to be compelled to turf

pulsion deprives Germany of any pre-
text for reprisals. A million tons O
shipping will come in handy just nov
for the allies, and it is not likely tina
Potsdam will attempt to make goo
her threats against Holland. PotsdaI
was bluffing, as events probably wi
prove.
Germany still has need of HOLLAND
She hardly yet can feel secure enoug

HEROIC WOMEN OF FRANCE.

My words are not powerful enough
to do even scanty justice to the most
heroic figure in the modern world,
and of ages past-the woman Of
France. IOf the healthy men who
are engaged i'm the military service
in France, practically all are engaged
either in transportation or in the
manufacture of munitions, leaving the
agriculture absolutely to the women.
Not only this, but they have stepped
into the place of work animals; you
can go into any section of France to-
day and see women of magnificent,
noble womanhood hitched to the pillow
and cultivating the SOIL All of the
agriculture rests upon their shout
ders. The home, always an extreme
ly efficient home, maintains a few
old men, the wounded, and the tuber-
cular. Uncomplaining, with high de-

He'll very soon cash out his check.

He can tell all that to Uncle Sam;
For in his mouth my fist I'll ram.
I'll sure bring honor to the colored
race,

And after I've found out that mucn
Just where he goes, I'll keep in touch
And sometimes when he's Off his

Right in his presence at his feet,
I'll grab him; try his neck to break

He will no more reign on earth sp

To teach his nation to be so mean

In New Jersey and Maryland the

1t sometimes seems questionable
whether it would not work better to
tell the enemy everything and let
our own people know it, too. The
enemy, being the enemy, wouldn't be-

having nothing to do, could make no
mistakes.

Yesterday received letter from Pub
lie Service Commissioner William
Haywood, now a Colonel at the head
of the 18th (Negro) Infantry. 1t shows
that the band of that organization has
made an immense hit in France.
The band consists of picked musi-
clans from this country, Porto Rico
and Cuba. Daniel G. Reid, the finan-
cier donated $4,000, so that the Negro
regiment could have real band at its
head.
Headed by Lieutenant Europe, who
used to conduct the orchestra on the
