 When the squads are formed ana the sergeant gives his signal Tn the morning for company drill you Will find one of the men sitting over on the edge of his bunk. You will go ever and say: What the deuce are you doing here, didn't you hear the sergeant blow his whistle for drlll Then you will see that the ooJector IS reading a Bible. He Will plush and say: "Yes sir. but l don't drlli My religion forbids fighting or kill i1.s"

 Yes sir, but I'm willing to "ork for the government. I'm willing to work or do anything but kill,

 How we'll We remember the early days of last summer when pra actically every house in the city displayed a flag. Not only did the private homes display the colors, but almost every autom o- bile seen on the streets also showed the American or the American and Allied colors. The car that did not show a flag was the exception rather than the rule. Now, after a year, it seems that the car which displays a flag Is the exception rather than the rule. Of course this signifies ahso- luteIy nothing. but a generous display Of the colors is always an inspiring sight.

 Attention is once more called to the health department rule which provides that garbage shall be collected in covered vehicles, which shall also be lined with some metal in order to prevent the filthy liquids from drip ping in the street. And attention is a lso called to the fact that Ia st Satur- day at least, aut om obile licensed under the number C4614 was collecting garbage. II was simply covered car with curtains up on the end and one side. It also served in a small degree to sprinkle the street-with garbage drippings.

RUSSELL SAYS u. s. IS
FACING THE DARKEST
PERIOD In HISTORY

Knoxville, Tenn, Feb. 14.-Charles
Edward Russell, member of the Root
mission to Russia, speaking at the
East Tennessee war conference here
today, said America is now facing the
darkest hour in all her history, and
that each of the 1lO,000,O00 of her
population must have d unity OF pur-
pose "if we are to endure as a ma
tiry,."
"If the reports OF :, separate peace
b. Russia are .r,.e and Russia has
dc clared the war to ne at an end so
far as Russia "a cCnCc) ned" he said,
there has been no such crisis or ca
!amity in all Americas history as that
which now faces uJ. there are 1900
900 German prisoners in Russia, to-
gether with large number of Aus
trians who are in good fighting con-
dition. These, together with lat di-
Visions of German fPhters, fully
equipped and which Russia is even
now holding ~ her lines will be re-
leased and they will be thrown
against the allies on the western
front. This will give Germany an
army of more than 100000 men
ready to sweep down like an avail
anche and destroy the defenses and
lines CT our soldiers and those of our
ais.
"They will outnumber any possible
force of soldiers that the allies can
put on the front. Germany will sub
iugate Italy and then sweep over
southern France, which has no Yer
duns and drive the remaining portion
of the allies armies into small
northwestern corner of France AMI
there defeat them by detachments.
In such an event we can only do
what the Russians did in the war with
Japan, send our troops abroad only
in sufficient numbers to have them
defeated at the point of disembarka-
tion. Thus can America be defeated
without even a shot being fired upon
American soil. If this report of sep
arate peace is true the only thing we
can do now is to throw ourselves and
every ounce of effort into the cause
that it may not be too late"

SECRETARY DANIELS
SAYS PESSIMISM HAS NO
PLACE AT PRESENT

Washington, Feb. 14.-Pessimism
has no place in the rush of Americas s
war preparation, Secretary Daniels
told representative members of the
Southern Commercial Congress gath
cred at dinner here tonight to in
augurate Judge Robert w. Bingham

There is no place in America for
ANYTHING but concentration and reso-

pessimistic attitude often exhibited in
Washington bellies the true spirit OF
America"
He asserted that the cloud of pes
sim;sm was so thick at times in
Washington that it could be cut
and that it was born of ignorance of
conditions" rather than any knowl-
edge of the situation. Failure of con-
tractors to get government awards
was mainly responsible for much of
The criticism, he said.

cause of the pressure of official du-

cation will remain

Hoke Smith of Georgia also spoke.
Senator Smith sketched the agri-
