RURAL COMMUNITIES
BOUGHT BONDS PROMPTLY

Next to the aggregate number OF
subscribers. perhaps the mos, strik-
ing feature of the third Liberty Loan
was the support giving it by the
country. Not only did the farm
ers purchase literally but the rural
communities as a rule were more
prompt in completing their quotas &C
the loan than the larger cities. More
than 10000 communities in the Unit
ed States subscribed or oversubscri-
bed their quotas, many of them or
the first day of the campaign. The
majority of these were not cities but
country districts.

THE NEW PENSION LAW
FOR CIVIL WAR VETERANS

The act of June 10. 1910. amend
ing the Sherwood pension law of
May II, 1912. provides the rate of
$50 per month for soldiers and sailors
of any age who served ninety days
and less than six months during the
Civil War and were honorably dis
charged, and who are now receiving
a lower rate. Those who are seventy
two years of age, or over, and
who served six months. are entitled
to receive So per month; those who
served one year, SIS per month; one
and one-half years, 50 per month !;
and two years, or over $40 per month.
These increases will be granted
automatically, and without applica-
tion of any kind to the Pension
Bureau to all soldiers and sailors
now pensioned under the act of May
II, 1912, and who have attained the
required age and served the neces-
sary length of time.
Soldiers and sailors who served
during the Civil War. and are pen
stoned at lower .ates under some
other law, but who are entitled to
pension under the act Of May H..
1912. will be required to file an
application under that act in order
to receive the benefits of the new
law.
The Pension Bureau will make
these allowances with all the dis
patch possible under existing con-
ditions. There will be no avoidable
interference with the progress of
claims now on file or hereafter filed
under other laws. A special effort
will be made to not interfere with
the adjudication of widows claims.
1t will be impractical to make
and payments at the increased rate
on July 4, 1918. but it is hoped that
payments due August 4. 1918. may
be made at the rate provided by the
new law. :. 1t will not be necessary
to write the Bureau about these in
creases. Letters of inquiry will
simply delay the work of making
allowances.

ITO Hell With
The Kaiser

"To He'll With the KAISER" the
great seven-act Screen Classics, Inc,
patriotic production, will be screened
at the Princess and Gem theaters on
Saturday afternoon and night, Sept.
2sth.
ITO He'll With the Kaiser" is the
most vital of all the pictures dealing
with the world war. 1t strips bare
the vile soul of Wilhelm of Hohen-
Eollern, and shows the plot by which
he and his Potsdam gang hoped to
get possession not only of Europe
but of America. ITO He'll With the
Kaiser" shows the final destination
Of this mad monarch, as we'll as re-
lating his cruel deeds on earth.
A great cast has been chosen to
interpret this magnificent picture,
which has been directed by George
Irving from the scenario by June
Mathis, and photographed by George
X. HOLSTER, photographer and
former war correspondent. George
Irving also directed the Metro fea-
ture patriotic screen drama, "Her
Boy" Lawrence Grant plays the
Kaiser, Olive Tell, a beautiful star
of both stage and screen, plays the
leading feminine part of Alice Mon
roe, Betty Howe does a wonderful
bit of work as her sister, Ruth, who
meets a tragic fate in a Belgian con-
vent at the hands of the Crown
Prince. Frank Currier plays Prof.
Monroe, and John Sunderland, him
self an aviator, plays Winslow Dodge,
who is seen in spectacular airplane
flights which have a strong bearing
on the story.
"To He'll With the Kaiser" has
some of the most unusual features
ever seen in a photodrama. The
closing scenes contain a genuine sur
prise, combining beauty and force
fulness, and the Kaiser is shown in
those accursed regions to which his
base record has destined him.

Prof. S. G. Gilbreath
Under Two Charges

The state board of education met
recently in Nashville to consider
charges made against Sidney G. Gil
breath, president Of Eas Tennessee
State Normal at johnson City, and
former superintendent of Hamilton
county schools.
At least two definite charges have
been lodged against Prof. Gilbreath.
Details of these charges have been
suppressed, but it is known that both
are of scurrilous nature and in one
of them a girl, or woman, is impli-
Gated. The charges were preferred,
it is said, by Sam Thompson, of Bris-
toll, former state superintendent, and
by man named Kennedy, formerly
teacher in the East Tennessee State
Normal, who seems to have been
"ousted" from the school before he
was ready to retire.
The state board of education met
to investigate the matter and Prof.
Gilbreath refuted all charges. Com
plant was made by Thompson that
the affair could no the fairly settled
in Nashville, since the compliments
were not able to produce certain wit
nesses who resided in johnson City
and whom they considered very i'm
portant. Mr.. Gilbreatn, it is report
ed, asked that the board meet again
in johnson City and give the wit
nesses a chance to testify. Accord
ingly, second meeting will be held in
johnson City next Friday.
School officials who know Prof.
Gilbreath say that the charge in
which the girl is concerned is ridicu-
lous in the extreme, and is not couch
ed in very definite terms. When
Prof. Gilbreath was in Chattanooga
few weeks ago he knew that the
charges were impending, and asserted
his absolute innocence in converse
ton with friend Chattanooga
Times.

Unfit Draft Men
To Be Reclaimed

WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.-An or
gained effort by the Provost Marshal
Generals Office and the Bureau Of
Public Health Service to establish a
higher physical standard was an
nounced yesterday. It results from
the refusal of one-third 0 fthe regis
tfants in the first draft by the army
because of physical unftness.
Surgeon-General Blue has made a
study of these refusals and issued a
pamphlet of instructions to correct
some of the most common physical
delinquents found in the army ex-
aminations. Provost Marshal Cen
eral Crowder has sent copies of these
instructions to all local draft boards
where they may be had by those in
terested.
"Men found disqualified by their
examining physicians should receive
definite instructions as to the mean
ing of their disabilities and strong
appeal should be made to them to
correct these disabilities as far as
possible. This is not only to reclaim
men for military service, but to les
sen the burden of illness and disa-
bility among those engaged in essen
tial industrial work"
The circular will also be furnished
to life insurance companies, fraternal
organizations, labor unions, employ
ers of labor, and others. Over sixty
per cent of the disabilities found in
the first draft were preventable or
durable.

of whiskey, worth at bootleggers'
prices about $4,000, from the base
ment of the Knox county Jail, will be
commenced in few days by dep
