my Four Years in Germany"

Ambassador James w. Gerard's
widely read book, my Four Years
in Germany" relating his expert
ences as representative of the United
States Government in the center of
Prussianism, makes a stirring patri-
otto propaganda as rendered into film
form by Charles A. Logue, who pre-
pared a scenario, and by William
Nigh, who directed last Sunday
night at the Knickerbocker Theatre
when the film received it's premiere
presentation, there was hardly a
minute when the house did not ring
with applause that turned into
cheers. All the willy diplomacy
with which the heads of the German
nation sought to deceive the United
States thru it's presentation, all the
atrocities witnessed by Mr.. Gerard,
such as the mistreatment of the Eng
lish prisoners, the deportation of
helpless Belgian women, perpetrated
without regard for any sense of in
ternational law-these and a large
assortment of views of Allied troops
on the march make capital seeing for
the man who goes into the theatre
ready to have his emotions stirred
against the common Motion
Picture News.

DR.. Witherspoon in Union City.

DIR. j. A. Witherspoon, of Nash
Vile, a guest of DR.. Turner, chair
man of the county Red Cross War
Fund, was one of the Red Cross
speakers of the week, appearing at
the Methodist Church Monday even
ing. He was greeted by a mammoth
audience, filing the large auditori-
um, and he made a fine impression.
DR.. Witherspoon many years ago
was a pupil of w. r. Moore. the
famous teacher at Glass in Number
Fourteen. He was related there. He
is a native of Maury County, locating
and beginning the practice of medi-
cine and surgery in Nashville thirty
five years ago.
DR.. Witherspoon said he was very
glad to meet the people of this
county. He had known many of
them, and it was a pleasure to get
back again.
The American Rcd Cross is a body
of 22,OOO,000, growing from an
organization of $4,000. He review
cd the history of the work and its
extensions since the present war.
The service is extended to the
trenches and everywhere there is an
American soldier or his ally. The
rolling canteen is an example of the
work, which is carried by the Red
Cross mother to the trenches, with
hot drinks or refreshments, there
ready when a lull takes place and
the soldier is almost famished and
exhausted. 1t was the Red Cross
mothers who aided the suffering
Italians when the Germans had de-
moralized their ranks with false
propaganda of American treachery.
This was an act which practically
alone restored the morale of the
Italian Army and is holding them in
vincible to-day against the Germans
and Austrians.
Speaking of the relationship be-
tween the French and American ma
tions, DR.. Witherspoon referred to
the War of American Revolution,
when Lafayette and Rochambeau
and their French soldiers came to
the aid of General Washington. After
one hundred years the Americans are
in France to pay this debt of graft
tude.
German cruelty and the abject
horrors Of German warfare have
made it impossible to enter into
peace terms. There is no record in
the history of the world of such |
fiendish and brutal methods Of war. |
This is the way the Kaiser has I'M
dertaken to terrorize and bring the
world to it's knees with fear.
There is no such thing, says DR..
Witherspoon, as a German Ameri-
can. He is either German or Amer t
lean. Many Germans left their ma
tive land because of military and
political oppression. They came to
America which sheltered them and
showered luxuries upon them. They
should be taught that they owe their
loyalty to America, but if they re-
fuse to be taught then they should
be made to understand the code of
American honor.
DR.. Witherspoon paid very high
tribute to the Red Cross mother and
said that it was a privilege to give
to that great organization of angels
of mercy. He met very cordial re-
ception and his address was warmly

fering more than ten years with
paralysis.
He started building his Christian
monument when he was a. young
man eighteen years of age and he
builded it upon the solid rock of
Jesus, for he entered tho Civil War
as a nurse about the time of his con-
version, and he has often said he
lived more devoted Christian man
in every way. AS he started his
monument he continued to build on
to the end of his life, for he was a
true Christian man in every way.
Robert Layton Matthews was born
in Obion County, Tenn, May rs,
1913; departed this life Saturday,
March %, age IA years and 10
months.
He was married Jan. 7, 1868, to
Sarah ]. Bynum. To this union was
born three children, Mrs. j. d. Thorn
as and Mrs. Leila Costley, north of

City. Death claimed his first COM
panion.
On Nov. "a, 1880, he was married
to Miss Bette Jenkins. To this I'M
ion was born ten children, Mrs. ].
H. Peddy, of Muscogee, Okla; DIR.
Arnett, of Hawaiian Island; Roger,
of Monet; Mrs. Orvall Hemphill,
north of Pierce City; Archie, Beulah,
Radah, Lloyd and Floyd, who made
up the home circle, and Robert
Loren, who died in infancy.
Mr. Matthews moved to Lawrence
County in 1881 and bought farm
five miles northeast of Monett, where
ne lived until year ago, when that
farm was traded for another. He
was a successful farmer and accumu-
lated much of this worlds goods.
Was elected to the Office of Judge of
Lawrence County Court and in this
as in other things in life he was a
success, for he served his county
honestly and impartially.
Funeral services were held at Lib
erty church Monday, March 25, con-
Quoted by Rev. L. A. Smith and Pas
tor E. R. Stribling to the largest
crowd that ever assembled at that

dren he leaves fifteen grandchildren,
five great grandchildren, number
of relatives and host of friends to
cherish the memory of noble and
just man. MRS. w. M. d.
