KILLED IN FRANCE
Carroll County Boys Make the
Supreme Sacrifice

So far as we know, or are able to
learn at this time, only two of Car
roll County's boys have made the su-
preme sacrifice by being killed in ac-
ton somewhere in France. Some have
died from disease, and there may
have been others, when the facts are
known, who were killed in action.
Some weeks ago Mr.. and Mrs. w.
H. Brooks Of Atwood, were informed
of the killing while in action, of their
brave son, Weaver Roach Brooks. He
was fine young man and he made
the supreme sacrifice that others
might live and be free.
Last week news reached Hollow
Rock Of the killing while in action,
Of Warren Kyle, a member of the
Kyle family of that community. When
young Kyle enlisted he held lucra-
tive position at the Hollow Rock juno
ton. Something over a year ago he
was married to Miss Callie Proctor,
daughter of Rev. ]. A. Proctor. She
is now with her parents at Tullaho-
ma. They have child. He was a
splendid young man with a host of
friends who sympathize with the be-
reaved.

Soldiers Kin Will
Be United to Aid
In Winning War
Organization Planned tc
Promote Patriotism and
Combat Sedition

The executive committee Of the
League for National Unity. at meet
ing at the Bankers Club yesterday,
occidcd to organize an auxiliary body
composed of ncXt-of-ki of soldiers
and sailors in the United States SER
vice. Its purposes, as outlined in a
statement issued. arc to keep our
forces effectively in touch with the
spirit of the nation and to obviate, az
the casualty lists become longer and
more frequent, the grave danger that
the neXt-of-kin, If unolganzed, may
express their resentment against those
suspected Of disloyalty in hasty and
violent manner, unworthy Of the best
traditions of our democracy."
The organization will be taught the
operation of the scdition and sabotage
laws, according to tie statement, and
askcd-s to employ these measures in
supprcssing disloyalty. A system will
be evolved to facilitate wholesale COM
munication between the soldiers over
there and their neXt-of-kin. "Kecp the
letters cheerful and encouraging" will
be a slogan Of the association.
Another step in unifying the non
combatant forces of the nation will be
taken on Monday. when committee
from the league will go to Washington
and confer with Scott Ferris and Franl.
p. Woods. chairman of the Democratic
and Republican National Congressional
Committees respectively. They will
discuss an appeal TO the voters to sup
port only loyal candidates in the forth
coming election.
Theodore n. Vail, president of the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company, sent message on "Thc War,
Unity and Criticism" which was read
by Ralph NJ. Easley. Mr.. Vail, sched-
uled to speak, was unable to attend.
He sketched the danger and possible
III effects Of any criticism at this time.
The stupendous task Of reorganizing
the country's military organization
from d peace to a wartime basis
might lay it open to criticism at some
time in the course of the transition, he
said.
"A united nation will prevent some
and make up for many mistakes" he
wrote. 'It takes more time and is
more wearing to answer captious criti-
csm and make every act self -explana-
tory than all the rest Of the RESPONSE
bil;ty combined, and takes precious
time and wears the mind that should
be free to meet duty and responsible
ity."
The line of demarcation between
helpful criticism and fault finding is
SO indefinite, he added, that people
shculd refrain from both.
Wheeler P. Bloodgood, who organized
the Loyalty Legion in Wisconsin,
which contributed to the defeat Of the
La Toilette faction in the recent Sena-
toral election, told of the formation OF
the legion and neXt-of-kin organi-
zation to further weld together the
patriotic forces. Nc said that the
Loyalty Legions membership would
reach 100000 by fall.
