SAL LvAT|ON ARMY
DOING GREAT WORK
WRITER TELLS OF THE HARD
SHIPS ENDURED AND WORK
THEY PERFORMED

In yesterdays Star Mirror the story
was told of how the Salvation Army
worker instead of enjoying the comforts
and luxuries made possible to those get
ting excellent salaries in welfare work
at the front, feeds and clothes himself
or herself on mere pittance and lives
with the men in conditions of hardship
and danger, doing their noble work
without the hope or prospect of reward
or recognition, either during the war or
after coming home from the war.
There is another respect in which the
Salvation Army work differs from that
OF other welfare organizations In other
organizations helpers are accepted and
given good positions whether they have
had previous experience in the particu-
lar field to which they go or not A
man is not assigned to a particular field
because he has already shown in his
former occupation definite and dis
tinct fitness for the task More likely
he IS taken because he has offered his
services and because the number of
workers available is limited In some
cases doubtless there might easily have
been unfortunate choices because of the
lack of previous training and demon
started fitness.
Not SO with the Salvation Army
worker. That organization has fixed
standards to which it steadfastly ad-
heres, no matter what the need of men
at the front. Before any Salvation |
Army worker is permitted to go to do
war work at the front, he must have
earned his commission in the Salvation
Army. That means that before he is |
accepted for war service he must have
spent at least three years exclusively in
social service.
Frequent changes of station from city
to city in these preparatory years teach
hem how to find their way about and
make them self-confident and independ-
ent among strange surroundings. Re
ports from France indicate that upon
heir arrival on French soil, these Sal
7ation Army officers disappear from the
bort of arrival over night without inter-
ylew1ng officials or asking questions or
seeking aid in getting to their next posi-
ION. The next you hear of them they
ire on the job in the trenches as
hough they had been born there

GERMAN LOSSES ARE ENORMOUS
PRISONERS NUMBER 10000

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
FRANCE.-(By Associated Press y
The situation since the battle of the
Avre shows a change, which for rap
idity and extent has rarely been ap
preached in military history. Marshal
Foch's strategy and the mastery tao
tics have in three weeks wrested from
the Germans what required -four
months for them to obtain at cost
variously estimated at from 100000
to 100000 men.
The immediate results Of the coun-
ter-offensives which will haye the
greatest bearing on subsequent oper-
ations are the clearing Of the Chateau
Thierry pocket, ending the menace to
Epernay and Paris, the liberation Of
Montdidier, ending the menace to
Amiens, restoring to the allies means
of communication which give them
enormously greater ease in future
movements of troops.
These successes render impossible
any rupture of the line which would
separate the French armies of the
center from those to the east, or a
rupture of the junction between the
French and British. The most dis
astrous consequences to the Germans,
aside from the heavy losses they sus-
tanned in men and material, is the
collapse of their plan to drive wedges
into the allied lines and the subse-
quent widening and joining which
would have Threatened general dis
aster.
Marshal Foch's strategy in reduc-
ing the salient wedges wrested the
in operations from the Ger
mans, at once obliging them either to
order general retreat to strong
line such as the Somme or to engage
reserves. The enemy adopted the sec
ond alternative, which, having failed,
makes eventual retirement immensely
more difficult.
The first phase of the battle of
the Avre finds the French with foot
ing upon Thiescourt plateau, west of
Noyon, which has. vital Importance
in future operations. The Germans
must either capture it at high cost, if
they can, or abandon Noyon, which
means the fall of Roye and Lassigny,
which already are under imminent
menace of capture.
The disaster which menaced Gen
sral Won Hutier's army has been
averted for the moment. The few
narrow passages which now are open
or the withdrawal of his stores are
% harassed by the bombs of avia-
,ors and the fire of heavy artillery

NO PREFERMENT DESIRED
AT RISK TO COUNTRY

.And having fullest confidence in the
siugleness Of purpose, the wisdom and
patriotism Of our president, let me say
10 you frankly that IL in his opinion the

fiaarded by reasons Of state unknown to

barragsed by oppoBitton to the senator
then and Immediately upon becoming 30
advised I shall yield to the patriotic
Judgment of our great chief and en-
deavor to do my bit in some other held

yond question: do not want, | would
NOT take, preferment at even the possi-
bility of risk to the best interests Of my
country and my party But until our
great chief executive speaks, / respect-
fsiiy submit to you that no one else is
commissioned to speak for him, or to
saw that the reelection of the senior
senator is essential to the plans Of his
administration or the public good, or
fhaf opposition to him will embarrass

ANSWER TO PROPAGANDA

HTt Is not intended at this time and in
this way to submit fully and In detail
az will be done hereafter, the reasons
impelling me to ask and the grounds
upon which ask your support; but be.
fore briefly adverting TO some OF them
Il is my desire to make clear and un-
questioned my position in respect to
claim. which If it be true would abso-
luteIy preclude me from seeking the
nomination at this Time
~ refer to the claim advanced on be-
half Of the senior senator from Tennes-
see to the effect that opposition to him
Is embarrassing to this wartime admin
istration, and that his recollection Is nee
agsary TO sustain our president in his
efforts to bring the war to q successful
conclusion. If either premise be sound
ana true the conclusion claimed logic
ally follows. But at thas TIME looA1ng
at the record, It has seemed to me that
the claim advanced ID nothing more than
the propaganda Of syndicated federal
office-holders and some reacttonary
newspapers to camouhage the democracy
Of Tennessee into retaining their favor
ite in office. It remains to be seen
whether those most active in giving cur
rency to this propaganda are commits
stoned to speak for the President.
Grt Is known Of all men that our great
chief executive does not hesitate in an
emergency to gtate--does not feel him
self 'at liberty TO abstain from stablng-
what the emergency or public good re-
auireH. He has not failed to act on this
principle in every emergency-and even
IA ordinary times has applied 1t In cases
OF senatorial candidates.
"While under ordinary conditions the
democrats OF Tennessee would probably
question the right of the president to
make suggestions In reference to their
candidates for office, yet we are not liv-
ing the calm and peaceful security OF or
binary times. These days Of peril are
fraught with danger, seen and unseen,
involving the security and happiness OF
millions vet unborn In this, our coun-
try. At such time who can doubt that
the president would speak u our country

tration embarrassed by opposition to the

No Offices to Allure, but Submits
Candidacy on Its Merits

,"And now, with neither Offices to
dangle before the worthy, ambitious and
aspiring or to allure their support, nor q
machine to override and overawe opposi-
tion, i submit my candidacy upon itn
merits to the democracy Of Tennessee,
promising when elected not to become
an Office broker--a peddler in patronage
but to give not a scant half, but un-
remitting time and the best that is in
me to the service of our state and to
the duties Of the high Office to which !
aspire.
And, while / may not hope to equal
the splendid achievement of Grundy, or
Bell, or Harris or Bate or Carmack and
that long line of senators who have re-
flected honor on our commonwealth and
have emblazoned her history upon the
brightest pages Of the republic, yet by
emulating these great exemplars in loyal
and, If need be, self-sacrifcing devotion
and service to their country it is my
hope to make such a record for you and

Protect Our Boys in France from
Enemy in Their Rear

1.-THE frontiers of our countrys secur-
ity are today along the battle lines in
France. There the young manhood of
this nation-our bravest and best--will
grapple, yea, are graphing, with the
barbarous and brutal Hun that their
mothers and wives and sisters may live
secure and in honor at home-that their
fair land may not be ravaged as has
been unhappy Belgium that American
democracy may not be enslaVed to pay
the price of world conquest by German
autocracy, and that government of the
people, for the people and by the people
may not perish, but live, not only for
their own security and happiness but
also to point the way to freedom and
security for the oppressed Of all climes.
and while the young men of our
country are battling in far lands and on
distant seas let us stand ready for fur
Their sacrifices to give, and give, and
give all that may be necessary to their
support and comfort and let us see to II
that neither their fighting efficiency nor
their comfort is endangered by the plots
of alien enemies behind them in their
own land for we have cause to know
that in each alien enemy or his protect
or and sympathizer there may be peril
to our homes, to our sons on the battle
fronts in France and to those keeping
ceaseless vigil on the seas. Recent de-
Velopments and disclosures by our gov
eminent in relation to the machina-
lions of Huns and their protectors living
by thousands in this country should
teach us to guard well against the alien
enemy within our gates, who holds no
faith in common with humanity who is
bound by no compact, however sacred;
who processes friendship and practices
deceit and treachery and who in the
name of his kultur would fill the world
with rapine and bestiality and murder
in their most horrid forms

Must Be No Interference from
Federal Officials

Now word more. There is
much evidence and no little com
plant that certain federal office
holders are showing great activity
in all matters political in this state.
Let me say that while every dem
ocrat has the right to vote for
whomsoever he chooses--that is the
very essence of democracy-yet no
holder of these offices is commits
stoned or has the right to use what
ever Of influence may inhere In
such office, be it great or small for
the benefit of any candidate; nor
does he have the right to control or
dictate nominations to offices of
high or low degree. And if the
power Of federal patronage and Off
cials be attempted to be used to in
fluence the democracy Of Tennessee
in their free choice Of senator no
doubt ways can be found to protect
such officials from the folly of their
indiscreet violation of federal laws
and from such embezzlement of off,
cial power.

any measure designed or the effect of
which will be to shorten the arm Of the
president or weaken his just influence or
deprive him Of his constitutional powers
and functions as the chief executive of
this government.
such an attempt was made in the SEN
ate Of the United States in July, 1917,
when an amendment to the food control
bill was adopted by vote of SO to 81,
providing for q committee OF congress
to supervise the executive functions OF
the president in the conduct Of the war,
and In effect to control his actions as
chief executive. Every vote in the neg
ative was that Of q democrat. The fifty
three affirmative votes comprised the
entire republican membership Of the
senate voting on that amendment and q
few democrats, including the present
senior senator from Tennessee. That
this amendment did not become part of
the law was due to the efforts Of adj
ministration leaders in both branches of
congress, who in conference ripped the
amendment from the bill, following the
presidents protest against. it.

No AIarmistRut Uphold Arms
of President

81 would not havesyou look on me as
an alarmist, but I would not be true to
myself or worthy of the honor sought
at your hands if I did not say to you
that in my opinion this war into which
we were dragged by a military despot-
ism mad with the lust of conquest, has
only begun.
ut is my deliberate judgment that
no other nation has ever done more in
the same length of time than has been
done by this country within the past ten
months to protect itself from power
full, ruthless and constituencies enemy.
1t may be true that some mistakes have
been made, but let us remember that
such is the history of governing
people idealizing peace and unprepared
for and abhorring war; and because we
have not yet reached that aptitude for
and efficiencyAin preparedness and equip
ment for war, attained by the enemy
after half a century of cunning,
treacherous and persistent preparation
for world conquest, we must not grow
oyer-critical, or feel discouraged be-
cause of conditions, nor hamper or dis
courage our. great leader by captious
doubts of querulous complaints, but
stand ready TO uphold his arms, stead
fast in faith that his patriotism, wisdom
and far-reaching craftsmanship will
lead through the shadows and dangers
now besetting us into the sunshine and
security Of ultimate victory
