II. O. Fulton, county chairman for
the Fourth Liberty Loan campaign,
explained to the central committee
Wednesday afternoon at a meeting in
the Maury National Bank his plan for
county's quota would be approximate
ly 100000, OF double the quota of the
last drive. The bonds are to be sold
by system Amilar to that which has
been used IL other campaigns and
the district c6mmittees VIII be made
up largely of the men who worked
in the last Liberty Loan and War
Savings campaigns.
Mrs. Henry Arch Moore has been
appointed county chairman of the
women's division and it was announc-
ed that the men and women would
cooperate in Ethis movement Each
soliciting committee will be compos-
ed of two men and one woman The
chairman will report the full amount
secured by each committee and the
woman member will report one-third
of that amount as belonging to the
woman's committee. In this way
there will be no duplication of reports.
The county's quota Of 100000 will
be pro rated to the districts by COM
mittee composed of John P. Graham,
j. F. Brownlow and George E. Nc
Kennon. Each district committee will
then pro rate it's quota to communi-
ties and to individuals with the ex-
pectation that bonds will be sold to
5000 persons in the county.
In the last campaign 100000 worth
of bonds were sold TO 100 persons.
1t is believed that if 5000 persons are
reached the quota will be easily sold,
which would be only 5000 per person.

Call for Young Women

When the call of war came to the nations young men-the call
for real service and sacrifice, they sprang eagerly to respond, and
hurried off to training camps to prepare for the battle for human
freedom. In the same hour the same inspiration and desire for SER
vice was kinded in the young women of the nation, and created a
demand for a field of service as great as that offered to men. The
field of service was found in the Student Nurse Reserve. And now
in every city and town the girls are enlsting for war service too,
thousands of them, and going off to their own training camps, in
hospitals to prepare for a lifelong battle with disease and pain
fighting for the health and happiness of the world as their brothers
fight for its freedom.
Only trained and seasoned nurses are accepted for service over
seas, and they have offered themselves by the thousands-so freely
that the health and safety of the civilian population was endangered
by a scarcity of nurses at home.
needed here, to protect the health of the families of soldiers against
disease, to maintain the standards Of public health established in
peace times, to care for the welfare of the industrial workers whose
labor is essential to the support of the army-and most of all, to
conserve and protect the lives of chldren-which is in very truth the
future life of the nation. A nurse who enlhsts for service now is a
volunteer in the battle to save a childlife to replace every MANTLE
which is destroyed in battle. The whole nation is engaged in the
effort to o reduce the infant deathrate as to balance the inevitable
loss of citizens through war.
The United States Student Nurse Reserve, with its new army of
from $4,000 to 10000 enlisted women, truly represents the war-spirit
of American misunderstanding at the side of its manhood. Nurs-
ing at home or in France is a patriotic service as real as fighting and
the new recruits in the urs reserve, enlisted for unselfsh, unspec-
tacular service, do as much in saving the life of an American baby
as If they saved a soldier on the battlefield.

Al Americans NOw

A Londoner recently wrote to a London daily protesting because
Canadian soldiers had been called Americans in its pages. The
editor solemny and patiently wrote a reply explaining that Canada
was as much a part of North America as the United States and even
a larger parts>
The point for regret is not that it was necessary for a London
newspaper to explain this to its readers in this enlightened day, but
that this distinction of nationality should be made between Canadian
soldiers and those of the United States. Of course for purposes of
military organization the two armies must be distinct, but for pur-
poses of winning the war, we're all AMERICANS now.
There is no army in the field that SO closely resembles our own in
personnel and in fighting ability as the Canadian. Men of both
armies are stalwart, healthy, outstanding Americans of the best man.
hood of North America. Their likes and didikes, even their army
slang are the same. They smoke the same brand of cigarettes and
maybe they write to the same girls.
That's one reason why the Canadian soldier feels drawn toward
his brother from below the Great Lakes.
The most important reason is that the quicker the allied armies
on the western front are welded into one, in fact IS we'll as in theory
and in command, the quicker they will win this war.
Benjamin Franklin's famous declaration, eve must all hang
together, or assuredly we will hang separately" holds good today
of all the armies that are fighting Terrorism and Hunishness.

British, all French, all Belgians-and above everything, all AMER

Today We Celebrate
.sThe Canning Doctrine"

III 1AhAhAA AAC
Every year on the eighth of August
the tomb of George Canning, n OF
the greatest of British statesmen or
| the early part of the nineteenth CEN
fury, is bedecked with floral tributes.
This date, the anniversary of his
death in 1927, is worthy of remem-
brance by Americans as well as Eng
lishmen, for 1t was Canning who
made the enforcement of the Monroe
| Doctrine possible. Indeed, that i'm
mortal of the powers of continental
Europe might with almost equal JUS
tice be called THE Canning Doc
trine."
When the Holy Alliance" was
formed by Prussia, Austria and Rus
sia," with the avowed intention or
restoring the regime of monarchial
d~espotism in the New World, the
United States was but a feeble nation
and the warning OF Monroe was little
needed. Against the craft of the alli-
ance Canning. then British Secretary
of State for Foreign Affairs, set his
face steadily, and placed England on
the side of liberty. He gave counsel
and help to the nations struggling for
constitutional freedom, and recog-
niZed the independence of the South
American republics which had thrown
off the yoke of Spain. The would-be
royal e~xploiters of the continent might
ignot the Monroe Doctrine, but they
could not be Indifferent to Canning's
unfolding of the principle which ii
stood for. for Canning had all the
power OF England behind him. 1t was
iue more to Canning than to any other
man thai the Holy Alliance and the
icspotic reaction which it had fostered
allied without having accomplished
my of tho ambitious schemes for
which IL was organized.
Canning became prime minister n
1927, but he did not live long to WELD
the power OF his position. His last
public act was to sign the treaty which
delivered Greece from the clutches of
Turkey. Then he retired for q rest TO
he Duke of Devonshire's villa at
,hiswick. and there. on August Sth he
lied IN the same room where Charles
lanes Fox had greathed his lasr
.wenty-one years before.

Uncle Sans Ten Commandments

President Wilson is about to sign bill which takes it place in
history as the most liberal legislation in protection of a nation S fight

National Ten Commandments, and is, in effect, thus:
Thou shalt not evict, for nonpayment of rent, a soldiers de
pendants, under penalty of $4,000 fine.
Thou shalt not cut off a soldiers life insurance because of de-
layed premiums.
Thou shalt not foreelose a mortgage on a soldiers property.
Thou shalt not take away a soldiers home on which he has made
part payment.
Thou shalt not sell a soldiers property because of his failure to
pay his taxes, national, state or local.
Thou shalt not settle a law suit against a soldier during his alb
sence.
If a soldier sue, the courts shall postpone action until he can at
tend to it.
If a soldier have a mine, or timber or farm claim, assessments on
which are overdue, it shall be held for him.
Honor thy soldier and thy sailor, that thy days may be long in
the land Of Liberty.
No man hath greater love than he that ofereth his life for the
worlds sake, and it is commanded that neither lawyers, nor the loan
sharks, nor the gathers Of titles shall fatten ON him
