CARD FROM T. w. TURNER

TO the Democratic Voters of Ches-
terfield County:
Owing to the fact that am magis-
trate has kept me from going over the
county and meeting the voters as /
would like to have done. However,
this matter Of electing men to rep
resent you in the legislature is purely
a business proposition. 1t is the duty
OF every voter to try and vote for
men who are competent, and to be
competent one must have good COM
mon sense and always be ready and
willing to stand for the right. be-
lieve / possess these attributes.
Those who are skeptical may make
enquiries Of my home people who
have known me for 80 years. l believe
they will tell you that my judgment is
good and that am honest in my con-
victions and not afraid to express my
opinion. believe l have as many
good personal friends in my township
az any man in it, also in the county
where the people know me.
shall appreciate the support of
any one, but I shall not hold any
grievance toward those who do not,
for l think all should vote for the
man he considers most competent to
serve. Respectfully.
T. w. TURNER,
Candidate for the Legislature.

THE GERMAN VIEW
OF CHRISTIANITY

Frederick Wilhelm Nictzche was
one of the most noted Of modern
German philosophers. How much has
his philosophy affected the views
and character Of the Germans Of to-
day? IL not the answer written in
The blood of the women and children
the old men Of occupied France and
Belgium? Are not the Lusitania vic
Tins witnesses TO German adoption
Of Nietzche's faith?
Here is his indictment Of christian
ity:
with this ! conclude, and pro-
nounce my sentence: / condemn
Christianity. To me it is the great
est of all imaginable corruptions
The church is the great parasite
with it's anemic idea Of holiness, it
drains life Of all its strength, it's love
and its hope. The other world is
the motive for the denial Of every
hand TO gain its ends call it the one
great curse the one great intrinsic
depraVity the one great instinct Of
revenge, for which no expedient is
sufficiently poisonous secret under
hand tn gain its ends. I call the one
immortal shame and blemish upor
the human race"

'WO CREDITABLE APPOINT.

That President Wilson is q broad
minded man and not a partisan is
shown by the fact that he selected
ex-President Taft to serve on the
war labor board and asked for and
secured the services Of ex-Justics Will
liam E. Hughes, to the air craft inves-
tigation. While it is greatly to the
credit of President Wilson that he
appointed these two Republicans to
important positions in the conduct Of

NUMBER OF PRISONERS TAKEN WILL THRILL ALLIED WORLD
 WHEN ANNOUNCED.
REINFO FORCEMENTS ARRIVING
Allied Forces in Pursuit of Germans Have Passed Through Veritabe Charnel House, Strewn With the
 Debris of the War.

Paris. = Both Hanks of the German forces between Rheims and Soissons appears to have been turned. Tho French have forced a crossing of the Vesle west of Rheims.
 The number of prisoners captured by the allies during the last two days will thrill the allied world when an nounced. The Vesle river, which was flooded owing to the recent heavy rains, has hampered the German rear guards, which were unable to ford the stream and had to fight for their lives. The most of these Germans were kill ed and the rest were made prisoners.
 German endorsements are report ed arriving in the Soissons sector from the north. The allies continue their advance, according to latest reports, although it is held within prudent linn faster than the right and further progress in the Soissons region might expose it to counter-attack from the enemy.
 Allied forces in pursuit of the Ger mans have passed through veritable charnel houses, strewn with the deb ris of war. Bodies of men and horses are mingled with broken-down vehi- cles alongside of monster ammunition dumps, some partially exploded and others intact. Bodies of Germans found in clusters beyond the range of the allied artillery indicate that se- were punishment was inflicted on the fleeing columns by the French, Amer ican and British aviators.
 Allied troops have crossed the Aisne at several points between Sois- sons and Venizel. The German resis- tance is faltering on the left wing Of the allied advance, while it is grow ing stubborn and desperate on the right wing, where the Germans still retain a foothold on the southern bank of the Vesle between Champig- ny and Jonchery northwest of Rheims.
 Fismes is completely surrounded by American troops. The Germans are retaining foothold in the extreme northern part of the town, where there is house-to-house fighting Crack Prussian guards units are offering the most desperate resistance to the Americans.

 The rationing plan for sugar for Au- gust has gone into effect. The allot- ment has been reduced all over the United States to two pounds per per son per month. Hotels and all other public eating places will be reduced to two pounds per ninety meals. Manu- facfurers of less essentials, such s-s candy and soft drinks, will be unable to procure any high grade sugar what ever. They will have to use what is known as seconds and thirds" and Arkansas jobbers are striving to get that class of sugar into the state from Louisiana. The total allotment of ST. gar for Arkansas during August is g., S95.000 pounds. That amount is ex- actIy 667,000 pounds less than given the state during July.
 Sugar for canning will be given those needing it for that purpose. Prompt arrest on the charge of hoard ing will follow if proof is established sugar was falsely ordered for canning and not used to save fruit or food. Prosecution will also result where it is proved anyone bought more than their two pounds allotment.
 Hotels, restanurants and all other public eating places will receive for their August allotment just one-third of what they got during July. Retail sfores will also be given less sugar. their supply for August will be cut to T5 to 58 per cent, depeneding on con ditions in the respective localities. On all dining cars instructions have been given to serve not more than two half humps or one teaspoonful of sugar to each person. That portion for each patron is requested in all public eat ing places in the state.
