Enemy Takes Village.
On front of about four miles
between Ncuye Chapelle and Car
donnicre farm, the Portuguese and
British have been forced back about
a mile, and La Neutie, west Of Fau-
quissart, is in German hands. The
enemy also has occupied Roche
bourg, ST. Naas, south OF Neuye
Chapellc. On the end, the British
still hold Flcur Baix and have
thrown back the Germans at the La
Bassec canal Oh the southern eX-
trcmity.
For more than Is months there
has been no heavy operations on this
'front.'
On the Franco-British battle front
below Arras and across the Somme
10 the region OF Coucy, there has
been no infantry activity, although
thc artillery duels have been most
violent French artillery broke up
q German attempt to attack near
DIaucard, south Of the Somme, and
west OF Noyon an enemy assault was
r,pulscd by artillery.
The German advance between the
Disc and the Ailcttc apparently has
been checked by the French, who
now are on their prepared positions.

BALLEW TO
STAND TRIAL
OFFICER WHO KILLED HIGH
NOTE ASKS DISTRICT
COURT HEARING.

Budd Ballew, charged with the
killing of X. P. Highnote, at Writ,
last Saturday night, was given pre-
liminary hearing in the county court
yesterday afternoon and was held
without bail, for trial in the district
court. In rendering this decision,
Judge Thomas w. Champion said
1T is evident from the evidence in
this case that no law has been vio-
lated, but that society and the law
have been protected. 1t is unior-
tunatc that in order to do this it
became necessary to take human
life. No man wants to be obliged to
kill another. 1t is the first duty OF
every citizen to protect himself, and
this duty is not taken from him
when he becomes an officer It is
his duty not only to do that but it IS
his further duty to protect society
and the lives Of other people, | think
this defendant has done society and
he people of that community a
favor. When Il person is discharged
on a preliminary hearing, any per
son may at any time, ten years or
/ twenty years later, charge him again
with the oifense, and in this case it
is the defendants desire, and his
tight, that he be held to await a
trial in the district court, where his
case may be tried before twelve
men
James Mathers, II. II. Brown and
J. B. Champion appeared for the de-
fendant, and while the court held
him without bail, it was stated by
the county attorney that bail would
be agreed upon. Bail cannot be
Fixed in case Of this kind in the
county court, but bond was made in
he district court and the defend
ant released.
Dr. S. NJ. Alexander, DR.. c. J.
Bennett and DR.. A. II. Smith tcsti-
fed to Highnotes' strange actions.
Doctor Alexander said that on the
day before the killing, Highnote was
at his office and did not appear to
be under the influence Of drugs or
whisky, but was nervous, cXcitable
and very rough. Highnote told Doc
tor Alexander he had killed =
people. He said he had a mania for
killing. The other doctors dcscrlb-
ed the wounds on the body.
Threatened Officers.
!. NJ. Chandler, special officer for
The Roxana Company told OF threats

son, Sheriff Garrett, Budd Ballew
and others, and of his telephoning
| Sheriff Garrett Saturday that the

house and talk to a woman about
the pay OF the watchman there, and
when in the house Highnotc abused

RED CROSS NOTES.

George w. Simmons, manager OF
the Southwestern division OF Red
Cross work, St. Louis, who recently
returned from France, gives it as his
opinion that there will be no cessa-
ton in the need for knitted gar
ments for at least FIVE years. Mr.
Simmons also said:
1--WE cannot possibly get enough.
Not only will we need every knitted
article we can get during the war,
but for years after the war ends
America will assume the burden of
reconstruction in many countries
not as yet possible of entry. | refer
To- such as Serbia, Belgium, Poland,
Russia, etc.

urc from those just back from the

for three years more, and those are
to be our years.

NEED OF MORE SUGAR

The Federal Food Administration
'is.looklng to the sugar beet produc-
Ing areas for an increased acreage
for sugar beets this year. Many
times during the winter they have
emphasized the need Of more sugar
and that II can only come from beet
growing centsrs where factories are
established,
With the increased price Of sugar
beets and sharing Of profits. should
the price Of sugar advance. the far
mer can afford TO plant sugar beets
this year. From patriotic point
Of view 1t is our moral duty to an
swer the pleading Of our national
government with an increased sup
ply Of sugar.
The government has control Of the
factories and will limit their profits.
The government has promised TO
help the farmers with the labor sit
uation. Our state officials are organ
izing sixteen to eighteen thousand
girls and boys TO help with the la
Dor problem. II properly supervis-
ed the labor situation in this state
has been solved.
Within the next few days the
farmer must decide just what he il
going to plant this year. Unless
there are great many more acres
signed up our total production will
fall short Of last year. =

has been asked for. WIN we do It

GERMAN AMERICAN
LOYALTY

My emotions tell me one thing q
this awful time. but my reason tells
me another. As q German by birth II
Is q horrible calamity that I may
have to fight Germans. That Is nat
ural. is II not! But as an Ameri-
can by preference, can see no 9TH
er course open.
For twenty-five years Germany
has shown dislike for the United
States-the Samoan affair, the Hong
kong contretemps. the Manila Bay
incident. the unguarded words OF
the Kaiser himself. and. lastly. the
Haitian controversy in 1914. And
Il has not been from mere CONNER
cial or diplomatic friction. 1t Is be.
cause their ideals of government are
absolutely opposite. One or the
other must 60 down. 1t IL for us to
say now which It shall be.
Because Of my birth and feelings
beyond my control I have no partic-
ular love for the French and less for
the British. But BY . strange irony
Of fate eco those nations giving
thsir blood for prinsiplss which I
hold dear. against The wrong prin-
ciplss Of PEOPLE individually love.
II Il : vsfy unhappy paradox. but
one ! can not sseaps, I do not want
70 ses the allies triumph over the
Hand Of my birth. But very much
want to ses the triumph Of the
ideas they fight for.
It slcksns my soul to think Of this
nation going forth to help destroy
people many Of whom are bound to
me by ties Of blood and friendship.
But It must BE- 20. II 10 like = dread
full surgical operation. The militas-
istic. undsmocratic demon which
rules Germany must b east out. II
4 for - 70 ~ it--new. have tried

The mailed fist has been shaken
under our nose before. II Prussian-
lsm triumphs IN this war the fist
will continue to shake. We shall be
In real peril. and those ideas for
which 20 much Of the worlds best
blood has been spilled through the
centuries will be In danger Of ex-
'tinction. 1t seems to me common
sense that we begin our defense by
immediate attack when the demon
is occupied and when we can COM
mand assistance.
There IL much talk of what peo-
pie like me will do. and fear Of the

He Is kind. genial gentleman Of the

statement was made bp him in per-
son to the Tanlac representative:
Il am 50 years old and always en-
joyed good health up to about six
years ago, when suffered . nervous
breakdown and my general health
gradually failed me. Ny principle
trouble was indigestion and catarrh,
but my whole system seemed to be
out Of shape. Ny condition finally
got 30 bad I couldn't sleep at night
and always after eating I would suf-
fer 90 from indigestion and heart
burn that felt just like there was

In Knoxville and other cities and
they helped me considerably and I
finally got 80 could 90 around. but
somehow ! Just could not feel right
and could not sleep at night, which
made me awfully nervous and moth
ing would eat seemed to agree with
me.
II began reading about this Tan
lac when you first came here. but
did not decide to try the medicine
until talked with q friend OF mine
who had actually used It. He said It
was the best thing he had ever TAX
en-. and that was sufficient proof for
me. ~
" Ihave just finished the first bot
tie. but TO tell you Just what Il has
done for me. I began enjoying my
meals from the first few drops. Ny
nervousness II gone and I can sleep
like . child end always wake up In
the morning ready for breakfast and

Of onions. but was almost afraid
70 eat them. because they always
disssrs6d with me 90: I could taste
them for hours Afterwards. I ate
one for dinner the other day and Il
agreed with me perfectly and I felt
no bad after effects Whatsoever. I
tell you I am beginning to feel like .

to keep this Tanlae on hand. It has
done me moro good than anything

SOME MORE AMERICAN
EFFICIENCY

Acting ON orders from the Ger
man Government. the officers and
crews Of the German ships intsrned
in American waters inflicted such
damage upon the machinery Of the
vessels - they deemed I absolutely
certain to keep the ships out Of Ger.
vice for two years. BY that time the
Germans thought the war would b.
over.
But American efficiency and Am
erican invention effected the neess-
sary repairs In from ak to eight
months and at cost Of s37s.ooo:
the Germans had figured the cost
Of repairs At ss.soo.ooo and the
necessary time - months.
All Of these ships. except one that
has BEEN sunk. are now bearing Am
srican commerce ON the seas or trans
porting American soldiers to Europe.
The Navy Department figures that
the use Of these ships between the
dine ths sAips were Setually rspairsd
and the time the Germans estimated
they eould bs repaired win BE-
worth ss4o.ooo.ooo to the Govern
ment 1t the present rate Of tonnage.

termed ships and the largest ship

service renamed the Lsviathan. Am

Germans were able to do and do this
with 400 tons Of coal less day. The
Leviathan has one American captain

gineer and five assistants that Ger
man efficiency required.
