The newspaper fraternity of Ten.
nessee is unanimous In its regrets
over the loss by. fire Of the plant Of
the Johnson City Staff few days
ago and extends its coincidence to the
owner and editor, e. Munsey Slack.
Not q newspaper plant in Tennessee
but would have gladly done, what the
Bristol Herald Courier is doing-turn
over its plant to the Staff for publica-
ton of the paper until the plant can
be restored. But the Herald Courier
was the only paper with an adequate
plant located near enough to Johnson
City to do that, so the rest of us
must be content with expressions Of
sympathy. The appearance of the
Staff with its usual amount of adver-
tislng and news every day is evidence
that Brother Slack will soon be back
on his feet in his own home.

tain to continue through the coming
winter and longer. But every dollar
subscribed to government securities
and every soldier sent across the sea
will mean a nearer end Of the great
struggle.

Atlantic to carry the war into Ger

impossible fancy, but nothing is i'm
possible in this day Of marvels Of
warfare. We may expect soon to hear
that the plan has been carried out
and to hear the Germans shouting
that air raids are not in accordance
with the rules Of civilized warfare.
