- CONSERVATION WEEK.

The week beginning Monday, De-
cember 2, has been selected as the date
for the new home card conservation
week On Sunday before the beginning
of the campaign message from the
food administration directing atten-
ton to the New Home Card will be
presented in all of the churches of the
state.
| During the previous week the food
administration will utilize the splen-
did four-minute organization of the
state in preparing the people for con-
servation week. 1t is expected that
by the dates named the epidemic of
influenza will be over and public
meetings will again be permissible.
Recent military developments in
Europe should not dampen the ardor
Of the people for food conservation,
it was stated at the federal food ad-
ministration at Nashville, for the rea-
son that the redemption of territory
in France and Belgium that has been
for the past four years under the heel
Of the oppressor will add to the bur-
den placed upon the people of this
country. These people must be fed
and the supplies necessary can come
only from the United States. AS the
victorious campaign of the allied ar
mics continues more and more people
must be sustained so That it is more
than ever important that every con-
servation regulation Of the food adj
ministration should be religiously OBJ
served.
Even should there be a cessation of
war, there would be no lessening of the
efforts of the food administration for
thousands of people, not now in with
in the reach of the allies, in countries
ike Serbia, Rumania and Armenia
and Bohemia and Poland who are
starving, would have to be supplied
with food. These supplies must come
largely from America.
The actual rehabilitation Of parts
of the allied armies would not change
the situation, for new crops cannot be
sown and harvested and prepared for
food under year. The food admins
tration is going to direct all Of its
energies during conservation week to
bringing to the attention of the peo-
pie these plain facts so that there
may be no letting down in the conser-
walton campaign

LINCOLN'S ADVICE TO
WAR CRITICS

Lincoln was no enemy of worth
while criticism. But when a man told
him something was wrong, ne wanted
that same man also to tell him how To
make it right. He always objected to
criticism that was merely objection
the criticism of the professional
crouch (of which we have plenty in
the present war just as he had in the
civil war;; and here is what he said
TO such critics:
Gentlemen, suppose all the proper
ty you were worth was in gold, and
you had put it in the hands of Blondin,
tie tight-rope walker, to carry across
the Niagara river on a rope. Would
you shake the cable and keep shouting
out to him: 'Blondin, stand up little
straighter-Blondin, stoop a little
more to the north-lean little more
10 the south?' No; you would hold
your breth as well as your togue,
and keep your hands off until he was
safe over.
"The government is carrying an inn
mense weight in this war. Untold
treasure are in its hands. 1t is doing
the very best it can. Don't badger it..
Keep silence and we'll get you safely
across"

CALL FOR OLD MEN TO
* BEGIN ABOUT MARCH I

Washington, Oct. 17.-Draft calls
for men who have passed their thirty.
seventh birthdays are expected to be-
gin about March 1. Plans for bring
ing the older class of new registrants
into camp have not been completed, but
the approximate date of the first call
was disclosed yesterday by publication
of testimony by Provost-Marshal Gem
eral Crowder before the house militia
ry committee.
In all Gen. Crowder sold the commit
tee, 100000 newly registered men
between IS and AS will be called before
July /, and Of that number more than
two million will be physically fit fight
ing men. The calls for general service
men will be divided as follows:
October, $4,000; November, 204 900
December, 10000; January, 147,OOO;
February, $4,000; March, Apri and
May and June, 344,OOO, each month.
These men will supply both the army
and the navy and marine corps.
In addition 10000 men for limited
service will be called each month.
Gen. Crowder said the work Of clas-
styling new registrants would be COM
pleted by January 1.

DEFERRED CLASSIFICA-
TON FOR FARMERS

Deferred classification of farmers
farmers sons, farm workers, and ten
ants, should be affected by severa
| facts.
General Crowder recently statd thai
the basis for deferred classification
requires something more than the mere
filling of the QUESTIONABLE. ''Some-
one must indicate that the individual
case is one which should arrest the
special attention of the draft board
IN this respect to the registrants oc-
eupational status" he says. When
asked, What happens to the regis
trant neglecting to state his claims
for deferred classification ?" he replied
IF he does not put them down on his
QUESTIONABLE, and no one else puts
them down, the claim cannot be con-
sidered."
1t is the duty of an employer to aid
his necessary employees in presenting
their claims to the local board. Gen.
eral Crowder says: "Why should the
employer, or other third person in such
cases make the claim? Because the
employer in this situation represents
the nation-because Tin the statutory
phrase the maintenance of the mill
tary establishment or of the national
interest during the emergency re-
quires that some well advised third
person look after that national interest
which the registrant himself may not
have sufficiently considered"
Even if the QUESTIONABLE has been
sent in and no claim for deferred clas-
sifcation made, it is still not too late.
Get in touch with the agricultural ad-
visor to your district board. He is
one of the following: West Tonnes
see-J. P. Matthews, Oakland, Tenn;
Middle Tennessee-H. X. Bryson,
Nashville, Tenn; East Tennessee-A.
N. Jackson, Louisville, Tenn.
If you will write him, your agricul-
tural adviser will put the claim before
the district board, and they will order
the local board to send the question
naire to them. You will then be given
ample time to furnish the necessary
information and affidavit to support
the claim.
The war department has made pro-
vision for granting indefinite furlough
where employers can prove that the
man for whom the furlough is asked
is seriously needed in the production
of food, and that under the circum-
stances satisfactory substitutes cannot
be found. Application blanks for Sc
curing these furloughs can be had
from the local boards. There is also
another form of furlough, this one be-
ing for 80 days only.
1t is much easier to establish the
claims of a man before he is called to
camp than to secure furlough. Now
is the time to act.

less of party politics. The manner o.
performing this task, the conduct ant
management of this foremost business
Of ours, is an issue.
A comparison Of the records of the
two parties on that score cannot leave
any doubt as to which party has prov.
en- greater efficiency and more. ability
Did the republican administration Of
1898 conduct the Spanish-American
War in such amazingly efficient man
ner as to reflect discredit upon the
democratic administration, which is
managing the present war?
The marshalling Of our forces, both
at the front and at home, without I'M
necessary disturbance of our social,
economic conditions and in fairness to
all is record of fact.
The taking care of our fighting boys
both at home and abroad are achieve
ments established, not claims.
The provisions for their dependents
just and ample, are made into laws,
they are not promises.
These and many other important war
problems were advocated and solved
by a democratic president, democrat
ic administration. Was all this done
in similarly efficient and n such gen.
orally satisfactory manner in 1898,
vixen republican president and
administration were in pow
er and conducted . war?
This is a plain question. Let there
be a plsin answer!
The American people will give this
answer at the polls when voting for
members of the house and senate. The
people are fair and just.
They will not listen to ilde claims, to
far-fetched issues, to destructive crit
icisms. They will and should stand
by the president and his party.

HUNTING FOR ISSUES.

To hunt for issues in political cam
paigns is invariably sign of weak
ness. There are two kinds of issues,
real, live, concrete issues, and issues
which are far-fetched, imaginary, and
vague.

Try as you will, after an application
of Danderine, you can not find a single

your scalp will not itch, but what will
please you most will be after few
weeks use, when you see new hair, fine
and downy at frst---yes-but really
new growing all over the scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately doubles
the beauty of your hair. No difference
how dull. faded, brittle and scraggy,
just moisten a cloth with Danderine and
carefully draw it through your hair, tax
ing one small strand at time. The
effect is immediate and Advantageous
hair will be light, fluffy and wavy, and
have an appearance of abundance; an
incompatible lustre, softness and luxuri-
ance, the beauty and simmer OF true
hair health.
Get a small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store or toilet
counter, and prove that your hair ia as
pretty and soft as any-that it has been
neglected or injured by careless treat
ment. A small trial bottle will double

FALL into HANDS
OF FRENCH FORCES

Paris Oct. 13.-The entire German
from from st. Gobian to the Argonne
has cracked on a sixty mile front, and
it now appears that the enemy will be
forced to retreat to depth of some
thirty miles before finding a suitable
line of defense. At the best, his posi-
ton will he menaced at it's TANKS on
the Disc to the Sambre canal from
RibemOnt to Landreoies, which lines
are very near the Belgian frontier.
Then will be nothing here like the
enemies strong defenses on the Hind
enburg line. The Germans are expect
ed to cover thir retreat as usual, with
the best of natural defenses the coun-
try affords, the principle enemy as
set in the present instance being the
forests in the area of the backward
movements
Between the Disc and Berry-Au-
Bac the Seventh German army has
been forced to abandon the line of the
Ailette, retiring its right in the for
est of ST. Gobian. In the Champagne
General Gouraud is continuing his on
slaughts on his disorganized enemy.
For seventeen consecutive days Gen.
eral Gouraud's men have been pound
ing the German positions and cOntin-
ping to make inroads on the defenses
To the north the British armies are
pushing their advance almost to the
point of liberating Douai, which is
one fthe great detectives on their
front Virtually all the German line
is in movement, and these seem now
to be no chance for the enemy to re-
organizehis forces fro resistance.

REJECTION OF
ARMISTICE is
NOW EXPECTED
COMMENT OF BRITISH AND
FRENCH NEWSPAPERS SHOWS
THAT NOTHING BUT UNCONDl-
TIONAL SURRENDER WILL SAT-
,ISFY.

Washington, Oct 13,-The govern
ment asks the American people to
withhold their judgement on Ger
many's note until President Wilson
has neceived the official, communica-
ton and has opportunity to consider
it.
The official document had not reach
ed Washington tonight when the Pres
ident returned from New York. 1t
probably will be here tomorrow when
the President confers with his advls-
ers, among them Secretary Baker, who
returned today from the western bat
tie front undoubtedly prepared to
give him some inside information on
the broken condition Of the German
military power of which the world
does not necessarily know at this
time.
Views are Rapidly Chrystalizing
Tonight, as last night, no official OF
the government felt justified in speak
ing to guide public opinion in the di-
rection of the views which are being
formed. The Associated Press is en-
abled to say, however, that these views
are rapidly chrystallizing and the next
step will be taken promptly, proba-
bly, sooner than may be expected
President Wilson is first to decide
if Foreign Secretary Solf, reply to
the inquiries, addressed to Chancellor
MAMMALIAN warrants him in present
ing Germanys original proposal to the
Entente Allies. 1t should be borne in
mind that the Presidents inquiry
merely was a move ad interim, in
which he proposed nothing, bound
himself to nothing and merely asked
some questions which, he declared,
required an answer before he could
go further.
If the President puts the PROPOSE
ton before the Entente it probably
will draw a quick reply. Dispatches
last night from London quoting the
London Express as announcing the
British, French and Italian govern
ments had reached a unanimous de
cision for a, line of common action,
wene regarded as being deeply signi-
ficant.
Lacking official guidance on which
to base prediction, observers are for
ced to record indications.
