HUNTINGDON AROUSED
Patriotic Meeting Last Week a
Splendid Success

Governor Thomas G. Rye and
the Sousa band proved a big at
traction for Huntingdon Thursday
night of last week. The circuit
court room was crowded, although
a threatening storm cloud came up
about the time the crowd was
gathering. The uncertainty of the
weather, however, kept many
away.
The Great Lakes Marine Band
furnished cheering and patriotic
music for the occasion, and added
much to the success of the even
ing. Members of this band are
soon to see active service, and they
joined heartily into the spirit of
the meeting.
Governor Rye, the principle
speaker, was at his best, never
more eloquent and appealing, and
aroused his hearers to a great
pitch of enthusiasm. The gov
ernor is a favorite in Carroll
county, and the large audience ap-
preciated his telling blows against
the kaiser and Prussianism.
At the close of Governor Rye's
address Mrs. Sam Phillips, Of
Memphis, made splendid, pa
triotic appeal, and sold Liberty
bonds to the amount of $2l.500
During the speaking and sale az
electric storm prevailed, followed
by heavy rain, but it did not pre-
vent the audience from expressing
its approval of the proceedings,
as the meeting progressed.
John T. Peeler presided over
the meeting and Mr.. McCord, who
accompanied the party, assisted 10
effecting the sales.
In addition to the amount sub
scribed that night, the private
sale of $500 worth of bonds,
made the total sale for Liberty
Day at Huntingdon about $50, 900.
The number of purchasers being
something over sixty.
A large number of our citizens
met the band and Governor Rye
at the depot as they arrived on the
6 O'Clock train, and reception
was held in Thomas park, with j.
Sam johnson and Neill Wright
presiding. We understand the
visitors we're pleased with Hunt
ingdon's hospitality and patriot
ism.

SOLD MANY BONDS
Liberty Bond Day Duly Observed
at Mckenzie

Liberty Loan Day was duly OBJ
served at Mckenzie last Friday.
Quite a large crowd was 10 attend
ance and the leading and most at
tractive features Of the meeting
was the music rendered by Sousa's
band and a great patriotic address
by Coy. Tom G. Rye.
The crowd was so large the
speaking had to be out doors. The
speakers stood in automobiles.
Mrs. Phillips here as at other
places proved great success in
pressing the sale of bonds. The
total sale for the day amounted to
$4,000. We understand that
$4,000 were subscribed BY three
or four men, the other buyers TAX
ing much smaller amounts.
The ladies of the city served a
very fine dinner, the proceeds to
to to the Red Cross. The day was
quite a success.

tition headed by the name of Gov

Mayor VIM. Gupton next on the
list of several hundred names, was
presented to the senate today by
Senator Mcclellan asking that all
saloons everywhere be closed dur
ing the period of the war. The
senate is asked by the petitioners
to enact legislation to this end since
The utmost efficiency of our man
power is necessary to win this
war" Senator Mcclellan has re-
piled to the Tennesseans who signed
the petition that he favors the
of saloons everywhere all
the time and not just during the
period of the war as asked by them.

left in fine spirit and expressing a
determination to do all they could

SCHOOL NOTES
Boards Should be Careful in
Recommending Teachers

For many reasons it will be
necessary for the County Board of
Education to elect teachers early
for another year. hence we are
asking teachers to file their appli-
cations for schools at once with
Advisory Boards and Advisory
Boards to file recommendations
with the County Board by Friday,
May "a. II possible recommend
teachers who hold certificates or
those who have taught successfully
for a number of years. Do not,
under any circumstances, recon-
mend teachers who have never
held certificates.
Owing to the shortage of teach
ers it may become necessary to d.
vide the term between nearby
schoolhouses, teaching part time
at one and part time at the other,
with the privilege of all children
attending the one where school is
being taught. Where this can. be
done it will assure a longer term in
the aggregate than if taught sep
arately.
Provision can be made for teach
ers who have not taught for some
time, even if their certificates are
out of force, provided they taught
successfully when they did teach.
In some instances it might be
practicable to have the same teacher
teach two different schools during
the same school year. Teach at
one house during the summer and
early fall and at another during
late fall and winter. Advisory
School Boards are requested to as
sist the County Board in any kind
of arrangements that will accom-
modate the schools in these war
times.
In case Advisory Boards can not
secure teachers, and prefer that
the County Board do so for them,
they should make the fact known
to the County Board.
Yours truly,
ID. I. BARNHILL,
County Superintendent.

large single mill belonging to Mr..

LULL In Big BATTLE
German Advance Halted by Ter
rible Slaughter Of Men

At this writing, ednesday,
there is a slight let up in the big
battle, which has been waging
most of the time since March q.
From the latter part of last
week until Monday night the en-
emy's forces continued their eff
forts to break the British line and
to press back the British and
French from the high ground to
the southwest, but everywhere
their efforts were fruitless. True,
they gained their objective and
captured Locre, but counter
thrust forced them out again, and
at last accounts the French were
holding the village.
Much of the snap of the Ger
man attacking forces has been alb
sent from the maneuvers they have
been carrying out in Flanders
under the stitfened line of the en-
tente troops, which has been ap-
parent since last Sunday.
To the south, near Amiens, and
to the east. around Noyon, the
enemy likewise has failed in all
his attempts to push farther for
ward. The British east ofVillers-
Bretonneux, which lies directly
east of Amiens. have advanced
their front, and in the Noyon Sec
tor the French have re. established
their lines which the Germans
previously had captured from
them.
The Germans on various sectors
of the line are still hurting tons of
steel against the British and French
positions, but the allied guns are
everywhere answering them in
kind.
While the present halt in the
battle may possibly indicate the
near approach of the throwing into
the fray of the great reserve army
which Gen. Foch has gathered,
that such is the intention of the
supreme commander of the allied
forces has not become apprent. 1t
is not improbable, however, that
at meeting of the inter-allied war
council in Paris Wednesday, at
tended by the American. French,
British and Italian representatives,
measures having in view the turn
ing Of the tide of the battle was
The uppermost in the discussion.
When the luII came in the big
battle, ground everywhere was
covered with the gray-coated
bodies of German dead.
The American boys are in the
light and German and Austrian
newspapers are beginning to ex-
press their fear concerning the
,ntry of the United States into the
var, which they previously had
'eferred to with sc3rn. I'VE must
hurry and obtain a solid victory

the increased noise about it every

way in which it is being encouraged.
The reason for this is that more and
more the German people are coming
to realize what a catastrophe it will
be for them after the war is over If
they are hated in all the world. Pan
Germanism, they are coming to feel,
is likely to intensity the feeling against
them, and thereby make their econ

GERMANY MUST
QUIT BY SPRING
Collapse Is Predicted by Ameri-
can Who Recently Escaped
From Country.
PEOPLE SUFFERING ACUTELY
Internal Conditions Far Worse Than
Pictured-Some War Loans to Be
Repudiated-Austria Is Un-
able to Break Away.

Zurich.-An American citizen has
arrived here with an amazing story of
internal conditions in Germany.
Since war was declared this man,
whose identity is kept secret at his
own request, has lived in Germany.
He has worked with Germans, dwelt
with them, been one of them, and has
acquired an intimate knowledge Of
conditions existing in Germany.
In his opinion Germany is suffering
acutely now, and dissatisfaction and
worse reign in certain strata of her
army and navy. Recent mutinous up
risings have had to be sternly re-
pressed and the mutineers shot.
Thoughtful Germany, he thinks COM
prising men of the Ballin type, is des-
perately eager for peace, and secretly
eager to end the war before America
has been utterly alienated.
Feared Army Service.
This man left Germany early in Oc-
tober, because he had reason to fear
that he was to be impressed for mill
tary service.
''The economic situation in Ger
many" he says, sis far worse than
any one on the outside realizes, is so
critical that 1 for one look for
break, a collapse, next spring or late
in the winter. Nor are the good crops
that one hears boasts about every once
in so often going to change the situa-
ton materially.
Throughout the German people
there is what amounts to hatred of
America, and this hatred has been
carefully concentrated on President
Wilson, because it is easier to hate
man than a nation-especially a ma
ton that is the home of pretty nearly
every ones relative.
Do Not Hate America.
'But the big men of Germany, the
men who have to look ahead and
guide the empire after the war, do not
hate America. They feel too keenIy
that they need America, and they
would like to stem the tide of hate be-
fore it becomes mutual and the United
States is alienated, perhaps for all
time.
"They know that after the war there
is only one country in the world where
they can get the money they will need,
AHASrica, and they are worrying a-plen-
ty nowadays.
"They, and all Germany, want in
creasingly peace that shall specify
among other things, the right to pur-
chase raw as well as finished materials
anywhere in the world on the same
terms as any other nation.
every indication points to probable
confiscation of property and repudia-
ton of perhaps half the war loans af-
ter the war. Even the percentage of
property to be confscated is being
talked of, and it seems probable that
the government will take 20 per cent
of everything.
To NuIIify War Loans.
"On the other hand, it seems prob
able from all I hear that an even half
of all outstanding war loans will be
nullit1ed. Fifty per cent will be repaid,
and the other so per cent will either
be cancelled or will merely continue to
pay interest-will be sort of perpet-
ual investment, the capital for which
cannot be realized.

dicted there will be in the central DOW
