indianapolis, Il city of quarter Of

growth in the last few years. There
has not been boom, but there has
just been about normal growth. OF
late it has increased beyond this tri-

car companies tell us that they carried
in the last year 100000 fewer passcn-

In the ordinary course of events the

Death Of Geo. Layne jackson.

Mr.. George Layne Jackson died at
Camp Green, Charlotte, N. c., after
an illness of two weeks of pneu-
monia. The young man was a son
of Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Jackson, of
Memphis, formerly residents of I'm
ion City.
Deceased was rs years of age. He
was born in Union City. Before he
went to camp he was engaged as
travelling salesman in the lumber
business in connection with his faith
er. He volunteered in the service
of his country last fall to join the
army, and was taken i'll of pneu-
monia in camp. Two weeks before
his death Mr.. and Mrs. Jackson left
for his quarters and remained until
he died.
Deceased is survived by his par
ents and his half brothers, Messrs.
Brooks and Hughlett Jackson, who,
accompanied by Mr.. Max Layne, of
Helena, Ark, came over for the
funeral. The remains we're shipped
direct to Union City, accompanied by
Mr.. and Mrs. Jackson, and conveyed
to the residence of Mrs. Anna Muir
ply on Divisions street.
Services and burial were conduct
ed Tuesday afternoon at the City
Cemetery. Rev. w. w. Armstrong,
the minister, was in charge.
Quite small boy when the fami-
ly left Union City, we gather from
those who knew him that George
was a young man of Gne mental and
physical stature and moral courage,
warm-hearted, generous, one who in
spires the highest confidence and
holds the esteem of friends, pleasant
and reassuring in manner, and with
al fine character.
In his youth he gave his heart to
God and was baptized in the Metho-
dist Church. He never forgot his
mothers advice and his faith in Di-
vine Providence. His passing in
creases the roll of American patriots,
surrendering their lives upon the
altar of national honor.
Funeral services were conducted at
the grave by Rev. w. w. Armstrong.
The honors of military burial were
conferred by Company X of Union
City, who marched as escort to the
cemetery, where the regulation vol
ley firing was observed and where
when the grave was filled they
sounded taps, the last sad rite to the
deceased.

Card of Thanks,

To the good people of Union City:
After lapse of fourteen years we
came back to you, under cloud of
sorrow and bleeding hearts. We
have buried here out of our sight
one dear to us. While we note here
many changes, some sad ones, miss
ing faces, and forms of friends once
dear to us in the flesh, we have
found the same spirit of tender SYM
pathy and service that has always
been characteristic of the good peo-
pie of Union City, and the younger
ones, who have grown up, and the
stranger, who has come within your
gates, seem to have imbibed this
same sweet spirit, spirit akin to
God. And for their expressions and
evidences of sympathy, their words
of coincidence, the gifts of sweet and
fragrant flowers, beneath which
sleeps our dear one, and to Capt. An
drews and comrades in arms who
paid such touching and impressive
tribute, and to those who rendered
music sweet and touching, and the
inspired words of Brother Walker,
a man of God, and to many others.
names too numerous to mention,
who contributed their presence and
expressions of sympathy, to all these
and for all of these evidences of
tenderness and sympathy, we pray
God that a halo of glory may ever
be round about you, and that your
pathway thru life may be strewn
with flowers fragrant with the
breath of Gods love and peace, and
when you, too, must stack your arms
and answer 10 the last roll call, that
He who doeth all things we'll may
gather each of us unto himself is
the wish and the prayer of w. H.
Jackson, wife, sons and relatives.

~ LINES OF TRENCHES
Costly Mistake Made Has Taught
It's Lesson.

Washington, April 30.-Gen. Foch
generalissimo of the allied armies
is taking nothing for granted as to
the ability of the Franco-British-
American line to hold. The crump-
ling up of the British fifth army,
which at the outset of the German
offensive guarded the gateway to
the plains of Picardy, carried its les
son home.
While the people of two continents
have been specializing anxiously as
to the whereabouts of Foch and the
interallied army of maneuver, it was
learned authoritatiyely to-day that
Foch has not been idle.
Twenty-seven lines of trenches, it
was disclosed, have been constructed
recently between the battle front in
Flanders and the city of Paris.
Foch, 1t was stated, determined,
despite the Impotence of onlookers,
to attempt nothing in the way of a
counter offensive until assured be-
yond doubt that there existed be-
tween the enemy and Paris an i'm
penetrable line of defences, every at
tack against which would take from
the Prussians frightful toll in
blood.

ALLEGED GERMAN ATROCITIES
Report of the Appointed by the British Government
and Presided Over by The Right Hon. Viscount Bryce.
hAmtassa dorat washing
Ambassador at washington.

was with me. l saw eight German
soldiers, and they were drunk. They
were singing and making lot of
noise and dancing about AS the
German soldiers came along the
street l saw q small child, whether
boy or girl l could not see, come out
of house. The child was about two
years of age. The child came into
the middle of the street so as to be
in the way of the soldiers. The sol
diers were walking in twos. The
first line of two passed the child.
One of the second line, the man on
the left, stepped aside and drove his
bayonet with both hands into the
child's stomach, lifting the child in
to the air on his bayonet and carry
ing it away on his bayonct, he and
his comrades still singing. The child
screamed when the soldier struck it
with his bayonet, but not afterward."
These, no doubt, were for the
most part the acts of drunken SOL
diers, but an incident has been
recorded which discloses the fact
that even sober and highly placed
officers were not always disposed to
place a high value on child life.
Thus the General, wishing to be con-
Quoted to the Town Hall at Lebbeke,
remarked in French to his guide,
who was accompanied by a small
boy: ''If you do not show me the
right way 1 will shoot you and your
boy" There was no need to carry
the threat into execution, but that
the threat should have been made is
significant.
We cannot tell whether these acts
of cruelty to children were part of
the scheme for inducing submission
by inspiring terror. In Louvain,
where the system of terrorizing was
carried to the furthest limit, out
RACES on children were uncommon.
The same, however, cannot be said
of some of the smaller villages which
were subjected to the system. In
Hofotade and Sempst, in Haecht,
Rotselaer, and Wespelaer, many chill
dren were murdered. Nor can it be
said of the village of Tamines, where
three small children (whose names
are given by an eye witness of the
crime) were slaughtered on the
green for no apparent motive. 1t is
difficult to imagine the motives
which may have prompted such acts.
Whether or not Belgian civilians fred
on German soldiers, young children
at any rate did not fire. The num-
Der and character of these murders
constitute the most distressing fea-
ture connected with the conduct of
the war so far as it is revealed in
the dispositions submitted to the com
mittee.

How to Use Nitrate of Soda.

A clover sod which had been
heavily MANFRED when it was young
is the best place to grow Irish po-
tatoes and corn. There is nitrogen
there in the cheapest form. If you
have to buy and import your nitro
gen, nitrate of soda is the cheapest
form.
Always reinforce nitrate of soda
with acid phosphate or basic Stag.
1t requires ebout pounds of phos-
plate to balance / pound of nitrate.
For corn use to the acre about 200
pounds of phosphate at planting
time. When the plants are several
inches high, use rs to. 100 pounds
of nitrate of soda to the acre, sowing
it broad cast by hand like seed. Very
poor run down land responds best.
For Irish potatoes, use to the acre
800. to 400 pounds of phosphate and
so or so pounds Of nitrate at plant
Ing time. AS soon as the plants are
up scatter 100 pounds more of nj
trate along the row. Harrow 1t in
with section harrow or a shallow
cultivator.
Do not apply nitrate of soda when
the leaves are wet with dew or rain.
You've tried the rest, now try the
best-Jersey Cream Flour.

In Memory.

A shadow was cast over our COM

for Luna. She was born, reared and
lived here until five months ago,
when she became the wife of Will
liam Haywood Hicks, of Nashville,
Tenn, with whom she lived supreme
.ly happy until she succumbed to the
disease of pellagra. She and her
husband spent the last several weeks
of her illness here in her fathers
home. All that medical skill and
loving hands could do was done for
her but to no avail.
On April "a the same kind min
lister who such few short months.
before performed her marriage cere-
mony, spoke comforting words to her
bereaved ones, and she was laid to
rest in East View Cemetery beneath
bank of beautiful flowers.
Everyone loved Luna Carter and
it was so sad to see her taken from
Mr.. Hicks so early in their married
life. Since childhood Luna has been
my most intimate friend. Has been
an elder sister to me. l shall greatly
miss her Christian influence and the
sweet association with her. With
Mr.. and Mrs. Carter, Mr.. Hicks and
her brothers and sisters / mourn her
loss, but with the sweet assurance,
that she is at rest from her suffering
