Track Walker Killed

Surry Bridgeman, negro track
walker on the L. 6 N. was run
over by a fast freight train Sun
day on the Obion river trestle,
near FARRELL, four miles north of
Irrelevant. Just how the negro
came to bis death is a mystery.
The engineer said that when he
saw the body it was lying on the
trestle and, as he was running
fast, only having few cars, his
engine was on the body before he
could apply the brakes and stop his
train. He said that when he backed
off the body it was lifeless and
considerably torn up. The sup
position is that the negro had been
murdered and his body placed on
the trestle just ahead of the fast
freight. The negro was of draft
age and in draft 4.

Situation Darker

Governor Rye in speaking of
the war conference held at Knox
Vile the first of the week said it
was the largest yet held in the
state. He suggests the holding of
these conferences all over the state,
especially in the larger counties.
He concluded his statement with
the following dark picture of the
war situation:
Our people must be stirred.
The clouds lower closer to earth
today than ever before in the his
tor of the nation. The situation
truly grows darker each hour. We
are not going to win this war IN
less every man, woman and child
in America consecrates himself or
herself to the supreme task of the
nation. The peace between Rus
STA and our foes makes our situa-
ton grave to the very last de-
gree"

FIVE AMERICANS KILLED
Germans Had Laid a Trap and
AmbuShed Them

Five American soldiers are be-
lieved to have been killed, four are
missing and one was wounded
when an American patrol was am
pushed in No Mans Land Friday
night by a superior force of Ger
mans.
The spot where the encounter
occurred is an isolated one, and
reports concerning the casualties
inflicted by both sides are meager.
Only one American is known to
have escaped the trap of the Ger
mans, which was laid in front of
our wires. One survivor, who
crawled back to the American lines
with a bullet in his chest, is un-
able to talk.
The Americans sprinkled the
enemy trenches with shrapnel all
during the day. There was con-
siderable patrol activity, but no
further clashes were reported

Save the Hens

Every laying hen sold from the
farm before the first of May means
a loss of about 80 eggs to the food
supply of the nation. These eggs
are valuable food, manufactured
largely from insects, weeds and
grass, garbage and waste. The
eggs, therefore, are almost wholly
a net gain in human food. More
over, the hen is just as good meat
after she has laid these eggs as be-
fore. Save the hens is the mes.
sage that the United States De-
partment of Agriculture is sending
broadcast through press notices
and posters, and through county
agents, especially in the southern
poultry-raising sections.

Request Refused

A conference was held in Nash
vile last Monday between bankers
and officials of the Nashville, Chat
tanooga & st. Louis railway rela-
tive to the re-establishment of a
night mail service from West Ten
nessee into Nashville. Bankers and
newspaper men insisted on the SER
vice, and F. D. Daniele. chief clerk
of the railway mail service, endorsed
the movement, but the railway Of
ficials urged that the need of con-
serving fuel is a bar to re-estab-
ment of the service, and the mat
ter was permitted to drop for the
time being.

WAR SAYINGS STAMPS SOLD
Mckenzie Leads in Sale of War
and Thrift Stamps

Carroll county has purchased up
to this date through the postoffices
of the county about $4,000 in
war savings and thrift stamps.
We cannot report the amount pur-
chased through banks and other
agencies.
The Mckenzie postoffice leads
in this splendid patriotic work,
having sold more than all the re-
manning postoffices of the county
combined. Irrelevant and Hollow
Rock are doing fairly we'll. Hunt
ingdon, while second in the list, is
far behind what she should be.
Huntingdon's sales amount to
about $4,000, Trezevant about
81. 700, Hollow Rock about $575,
other postoffices have sold few.
McKenzie's sales amount to over
$11, 900.
The county is not coming up to
its requirements in this splendid
work. This is your opportunity
to do patriotic service to your
country, and at the same time
make a profitable financial invest
ment. If you can only buy one
certificate do it, or if you are not
able to do this much, buy a baby
bond, it will, during the remainder
of this month, cost you only $4,13.
If you cannot. do this, buy thrift
stamps and save your money until
you can buy a bond. Help while
you can proftably to yourself.
You may have to help later in a
less profitable way.

TRANSPORT TORPEDOED
Fully One Hundred United States
Troops Were Lost

The Cunard liner Tuscania, car
rying 2, 179 American soldiers, was
torpedoed and sunk off the Irish
coast Wednesday night of last
week. 1t is claimed that the total
of the soldiers who lost their lives
was between 100 and 100.
The passenger list of the Tus-
cania compiled by the war depart
ment at the port of embarkation
shows that the vessel carried
2,177 military passengers and two
civilian passengers. The military
passengers consisted of III officers
and 1900 men.
The ship was not long sinking,
and the fact that so many lives
were saved is something to be
thankful for.
The Tuscania was an English
vessel. When she was struck by
the German torpedo the American
soldiers calmly went to their posts.
As they lined up on one side of
the deck with the crew, all Brit
ishers, on the other, the national
anthems of the Anglo American
allies were sung. The lack of
panic facilitated the work of the
British destroyers, who braved
dangers by coming up to the side
of the sinking liner and taking off
the soldiers.
Reports of some survivors that
the submarine fell a victim to the
swift vengence of the British de-
stroyers lack official confirmation.
One American officer has related
that the U-boat attempted to sink
the rescuing destroyers and that
one pursued the submarine and
dropped depth bombs, which de-
stroYed it.

RUSSIA DROPS OUT
Makes a Separate Peace With
Germany

Russia has made separate peace
with Germany, demobilizing her
armies and drops out of the war.
Following is the special that
brought the news to this country:
The president of the Russian
delegation at today's (Sunday's)
sitting, stated that while Russia
was desisting from signing a for
NAL peace treaty, it declared the
state of war to be ended with Ger
many, Austria Hungary, Turkey
and Bulgaria, simultaneously Civ
ing orders for complete demobiliza-
ton of Russian forces on all
fronts"
Russia steps formally out of the
war by act of the Bolshvik gov
eminent, which seized the reins of
power in Petrograd last November,
and almost Immediately opened
peace negotiations with the cen
trail empires.
RusSia's action comes as a sur
prise to the world. While she
once played a vital part, yet for
the last year she has done practi-
calIy nothing. Her drive into
East Prussia in the early days of
the war saved the British and
French. just what effect her
quitting will have on the present
situation cannot be told.

manslaughter, and bound him over
to the court on that charge. The
grand jury, at the February term
of the circuit court, will consider
the case.
The case attracted considerable
interest. and there was quite a
crowd present. AS to the testi-
mony nothing new was brought
out from the facts published at the
time of the trouble.

State Examination

The next examination for teach
ers will be held on March 1916.
All teachers expecting to teach
next school year. who do not hold
certificates, are urged to take this
examination so they will be elig-
IDLE for service and early employ
ment. The state department of
education is requesting county
boards to employ teachers who
hold certificates. consequently
boards are going to require better
preparation and ready preparation
on the part of the teacher. The
policy of the board will be to elect
teachers early, and to pay as fair
a salary as the school fund will
permit. Now, teachers, if you
mean to be professional, be quail
fed when the time comes for SER
vice. Sincerely,
D. T. BARNHILL,
County Superintendent.

GOVERNOR RYE TALKS
Fully Engaged Now With Duties
OF Office

There has been some speculation
in different parts of the state as to
whether Gov. Tom G. Rye intends
to enter the race for the United
States senate, especially since Chas.
I. Gates, Jr., has announced his
candidacy for that high Office in
opposition to Senator John X.
Shields.
Gov. Rye has been quite busy
for several months with the affairs
of the state and the war prepare
tions of che nation and though he
has been solicited many times by
friends all over the state to give
some expression as to his own po-
litical intentions and aspirations,
he has felt, under the pressure of
the burdens now resting upon him
that the people just now were
more concerned with other matters
and that the time is not ripe for
the launching of personal polit-
ical campaign.
When seer by Banner reporter
Saturday and asked for a state
ment in regard to any political
plans he might have in mind for
the future, the governor said that
for the present he had nothing to
communicate to the public on that
subject. He said that just now
his whole attention is conferred in
matters involving his duties as
governor, especially as they relate
to the various activities now or
ganized in Tennessee in support of
the government IN winning the
war. He said that he did not
think the people are interested in
the personal political fortune of
any individual at this time, but
that, on the contrary, their minds
are entirely engrossed with ques-
tions involving the nations efforts
to determine its own fate.
AS for himself, he was interested
as never before in the matters now
being perfected IN the state in aid
of the governments war plans.
The election of a United States
senator, he said, is many months
away even the primary is some
time of-and the people of Ten
nessee are really not just now in
the humor to give much attention
to local politics; but, he added, at
a later period he would do himself
the pleasure to acquaint the voters
of the state with whatever aspira
lions he may have to represent
them in the senate of the United
States.

AMERICAS WHOLE STRENGTH.
10 War for Emancipation Says
President Wilson

President Wilson, addressing
congress in joint session at 1890
o'clock. Monday, replied to the re-
cent speeches by German Chancel-
lOr Won Hertling and the Austrian
foreign minister, Count Won Ger
min.
Following the custom inaugur-
ated with other addresses of its
kind, President Wilson's words
will be cabled by the government
to all the principal capitals of the
world. In this way the govern
ment hopes to get his answer to
Hertling and Czernin to the ears
of the people of Germany, Austria
and Russia.
Chancellor Won Hertling's state
ment, the president said. was very
vague and confusing, and leads to
practically no conclusion. It was
very different in tone from that of
Count Czernin, which, the presi-
dent said, had a very friendly
tone.
All the way through, the presi-
dent drew a parallel between the
pronouncements of Chancellor Won
Hertling and Foreign Minister
Czernin, and his hearers drew the
conclusion that the president deci.
dedly considered Czernin's utter
ances as being more favorable than
Hertling's.
Again the president reiterated
that the United States was in the
war and would put forth its whole
strength in this war of emancipa-
ton.
The test of whether it is posi-
BILE for the belligerents to 90 on
comparing views, the president
said, was simple and obvious, and
the principles to be applied, he
said, were as follows:
l. Each part of the final settle
ment must be based upon the es-
sential justice to bring a perma-
nent peace.
2. Peoples and provinces are
not to be bartered about like chat
tells to establish balance of pow
ers.
3. Territorial settlements must
be for the benefit of the people
concerned and not merely adjust
ment of rival states claims.
4. Well defined national aspira-
tions must be accorded all possible
satisfaction.
"A general peace upon such
foundation can be discussed said
the president. Until such peace
can be secured we have no choice
but to 90 on"
The general principles, the pres
ident said. have been accepted by
everyone exec the military auto

ifc ruling class has taught the people
IT, believe that they race of supermen

SO long there is the slightest semblance
OF victory for the German arms the au-
tocracy can maintain itself. But if Ger
many were decisvey defeated and the
people came to realize that it had been
c. tsr.tly defeated, a new and better Ger
mary would be a possibility. So the ne
G sty Of a decisive victory over Germany
can 1'adily be appreciated.
Pan -Germanists at times have given ex-
preston to their ideas of what the greater
Germany should include. In their dream
of world dominion they took the greater
part of South America, much Of Africa
and Asia and the islands north Of Austria
liza. Holland and Belgium were to be a
part Of the empire, as we'll as the Baltic
provinces and French colonies.
These the purposes in the mind of
the Prussian ruling caste at the present
time. How abhorrent they are to the
American need not be stated. Are we to
allow even the expression of such ideals
to go unchecked?
