Carrier Sets
Up Neu, Record

d. l.. Fry. carrier on Rural Route
No. 10, has established a record for
the United States by having sold a
thrift stamp or war savings stamp
card in every home on his route. No
other carrier in the country has made
claim 10 such a record as this and un-
til it has been met Mr.. Fry is claim
ing to be the champion war stamp
statesmen in the United States. Other
carriers have sold larger amounts of
stamps than Mr.. Fry, but they prob
ably have routes on which more and
weather. people reside. His record,
therefore, is unexcelled in its class.
Walter Tanner, carrier on Route
s, continues to hold first place at the
local postoffice in the amount of
stamps sold, but several other car
riers are pushing hard to take that
distinction from him. Much friendly
rivalry exists among the force. Dur
ing April the carriers were instructed
to make no spacial effort to sell
stamps, leaving the field open for Lib
erty Bonds, but having been started
the sales of stamps could not be
stopped and there have been many
voluntary purchases.

WILLIAM |. FRIERSON
DIRECTS AERO PROBE
KNOWN IN COLUMBIA HAS
IMPORTANT DUTY.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May S.-A
high personal compliment has been
paid to the ability of William l.. Frier-
son of Chattanooga, now Assistant At
torney-G General of the United States.
1t was announced by Attorney-G General
Gregory Immediately following the
Cabinet meeting that Mr.. Frierson
would have charge of the investiga-
tion into the aircraft situation order
ed yesterday by the President. The
investigation is to be held in order
that sensational charges Of profiteer-
ing and other wrong-doing preferred
by Sculptor Gutzon Borglum may be
sifted to the bottom.
The inquiry is important from the
standpoint that public attention has
been centered on the aircraft produc-
tion work by series of events. Those
in close touch with the situation do
not expect the sensational statements
that have been made to be substan-
tiated by the result of the investiga.
ton. At the same time it is desired
to lay the facts bare in order that
public confidence may be maintained,
and to the end that any wrong doing
may be punished
Mr. Frierson has been assistant to
Mr.. Gregory since ,ast August. He
is a brother Of burton Frierson of
Shelbyville His work has been large
ly with transportation questions, and
he has argued nuriber Of important
cases for the Government in the Unit
ed States Supreme court since he was
appointed. His selection for the work
of probing the aircraft situation at
this time is a tribute to the reputa-
tion which the Tennessean has estab-
lished in the short time he has been
connected with the department.

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
FRANCE, May 9.-Counter attacking
stubbornly last night the British re-
turned to their original lines south
west of Dickebusch. Late today on
the extreme right of this small bat.
tie front they were compelled to re-
tire, owing to the extremely heavy
machine gun fire The fighting con-
tinues along a small pocket, which the
Germans occupy at a strong point
east OF Mile Krusesy-Sen.
One of the hughest concentrations
of troops ever assembled on the way
to battle front lies today inside the
great bulge in the lines which says
down past Arras, Amiens and Mont
didier. North of this in a salient
pointing toward Hazebrouck is sec
ondary concentration, but proper

to strike. Facing them are the gal

SAMMIE'S new FRIEND
is ARMY ''DE-LOUSERS"
By FRED S. FERGUSON

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent.
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
LORRAINE, March 29.-The Ameri
can army now has "de-lousing" ma
| chimes.
The army medical corps operates
them. They look something like big
trucks carrying huge casks.
Lice may not be exactly popular in
polite society in America, but the
folks at home can rest assured that
they are recognized in the very best
families over here. =
They are popularity known as "coot-
ies."
After fellow has served eight days
in the front line trenches he may be
lonesome for a while after losing his
"cooties," but he must be "de-loused." ;"
He strips, throws aside his inhabitat
ed clothes, gets tingling hot bath
with delousing solution, and then gets
clean clothing throughout His dis
carded clothing goes to the "de.lous-
ing" machine.
The motive power of the automobile
carrying the delousing tanks is steam
With the machine standing still, the
steam is diverted from the engine in
to the tanks. The clothing of the sol
diers' is then thrown into the tanks,
sealed us, and exit "cooties."
The hot iron treatment comes after
the steaming. The "cooties' hide in
the seams of clothing. Uniform and
underwear are laid out, and hot iron
run along every seam. After this
treatment the clothing is cootie-free.
The "de-lousing" wagons move from
one rest camp to another, steaming
out "cooties" as fast as the men come
out of the trenches.
1t is estimated that a mother
"cootie' has something like 5000
children, grandchildren and great
grandchildren in the course of "a
hours, so once she gets ahead of the
medical corps "de-lousing" wagon,
there is battle on.
1t has been established that the
louise is responsible for trench fever.
Every man i'll from trench fever re-
duces the fighting strength Of the
army.
1t is war to determination against
the "cootie' with the medical corps.

NEW YORK, April 9.-United

of the poilus and the Tommies Is re-

idea.
"Boche." the French term oil con-
tempt for a German, is perfectly goOu
French for "bonehead" and the rom
mics adopted it.
But to the American ear 1t lackeu
punch. And the pronunciation was
tricky. 1t did. however, suggest q
term expressing the Americans Ut
most contempt, emanating from the
American national pastime

NO MORE UNTIL new CROP
Announcement of Situation Not to
Alarm Public But to Warn Them to

Corn.

w. A. Dale, president of the Colum.
bia Mill & Elevator Co, in discussing
the flour situation in Maury county
stated that his mill is now grind.
ing all the wheat they have in the
elevator and that they would not have
any more wheat until the new crop
was threshed.
''The wheat that we are now grind
ing into flour is all for the United
States government. All of the wheat
we ground in April and May was for
the government. We will not have
any more flour for the local trade"
said Mr.. Dale.
The City Mill e Grain Co. has
ground all Of their wheat into flour
for the government. After the present
supply Of flour which is now in the
hands of the retailers is used up there
win not be any more flour in this
section of the country until after, the
harvesting of the new crop.
This statement is made not to
alrm any one, but to impress upon
the people of the country the i'm
portance of conserving what wheat
flour they have and to use meal and
corn flour more. The U. S. govern
ment is making sure of having enough
wheat flour to feed her soldiers until
the new crop comes in and the only
way to do this was to commander
ali the wheat there was in the eleva
tors.

GEN. MAURICE HAS NOT YET
PROVEN THAT CIVILIAN AU.
THoRITiES DEcElVlNG.
NOT FIRST OF ADVENTURES
Once Got in Public Eye by Criticising
Gen. Foch for Which He Was Dis
missed-Present Charges Show His
Resentment.
By j. w. T. MASON
Omitted Press WAY Expert. J

| NEW YORK, May 9.-The issue OF
militaristic resentment against the
orders of the British civil government
has been raised by Major General
Maurice's public accusation of living
brought against Lloyd Georges min
istry. No democracy that deliberate
ly misleads public opinion can con-
tinue to exist; but General Maurice
has not yet proven that the civilian
authorities have deceived the British
people concerning the true facts of
the army. This Is General Maurice's s
second recent adventure in impetuce
criticism.
His first was his attack on Gen
eral Foch during the German often
sive in Flanders for not ordering
French reserves northward as rapidly
as General Maurice believed should
have been done.
If General Maurice had not been
removed from his post because of
this offense, it is highly improbable
he would not be attempting to over
throw the Lloyd George ministry to
justify the right of militarists to chal-
lenge the power of the civil govern
ment. The charge of the misstate-
ment of fact which General Maurice
brings against the prime minister re-
lates to a declaration in the house of
commons Monday, u mont. ago. If
the matter is as serious as General
Maurice tries to make out, it is diff
ficult to explain on the theory that
his action is solely for the good Of
the army.
General Maurice's work as director
of military operations formed the
link connecting the British govern
ment at home with the army com
manders in the field. 1t was General
Maurice's duty before his removal to
have brought before the prime min
lister privately and mis-statements
about the army in the house of com
mons and not to use the newspapers
now for that purpose after his respon-
sibility and ceased
General Maurices retirement from
his former position was undoubtedly
due to a large extent to the instan-
taneous criticism of the United States
unequivocal position toward General
Foch. America, therefore, is respon-
sible in a measure for the turn Gen
eral Maurice has sought to give to
events.
His public attack on the British gov
ernment is challenge to democratic
governmental responsibility 1t should
strengthen the Lloyd George ministry
but if the government falls on the is
sue, any succeeding premier will be
compelled to disavow suspicion that
he is an army appointee.
