and who saw active service
at the battle front in France,
arrived home today, Friday,
for a visit to home folk. He
was wounded in his right arm
while in close fighting with
the enemy and now wears a
French war decorations.
church that equals his. For
at least 40 years he has held
an official relation as trustee,
steward and Sunday school
superintendent, the latter po-
sition having been held by him
for at least 35 years and that
of steward nearly 40 years.
1t is by no means, every day,
that we are privileged to
meet and know such charac-
ters as Doctor Fakes. His life
was far above the average.
He was clean in speech and as
modest as the most refined and
cultured lady. His hands
were open to the needy and OPP
pressed, his love to God and
the church were the consuming
interests of his life. No one was
more faithful than he; there
was nothing little about him !;
his life was an open book and
his religious life was lived each
day of the week.
He was like a father to his
pastors and their families !;
they all knew they could look
to Doctor Fakes for counsel,
and they had in him a friend
who made the way brighter.
Shall we see his like again? ?
The home life of our departed
friend was indeed a beautiful
life. The memory of his even
ing devotions will ever be as
precious ointment poured
forth.
The one whose loss we now
mourn was a man of public
spirit whose interest and in
vestments are helping to make
possible some of the great, in
situations of the church today.
DR.. Fakes loved life and
wanted to live, he made the
best fight possible, but on the
morning of Tuesday, Nov. 10,
1918, at about the hour of Z AS
| the wheels of life stood still
and his great soul passed out
to be with God.
He leaves a wife, one son,
Mr.. w. B. Fakes, two grand
sons, Messrs T. J. and Roger
Fakes, three brothers, DR.. B.
r. Fakes of Ashville, N. c.,
Mr.. Gracon Fakes of Los An
geles, CAL, and Mr.. John Fakes
of Lebanon, Tenn, and four
sisters, Mesdames C. w. Tur-
ner of Fort Worth, Texas,
Maggie Smith of Galiton,
Tenn, Bette Bates of Lebanon
Tenn. and Laura Riley of Los
Angeles, California.
There are many relatives
and friends who mourn his
death, but we weep not as
those who have no hope fol-
some day in the higher and
better world we shall meet anC
greet him again.

AFTER THE WAR, WHAT?"
Written fo7 the Caledonian by Mertie
A. Aldrich

Over is the awful carnage,
flushed at last the din and roar;
France is done with bloody battles,
Shells will tear her soil no more.
He, who called himself the highest
Recently las fallen far;
Nowhere waits for him welcome,
Setting is his strange red star.
Now, the problem of the ages
Looms before us in the light;
Are we wise enough to solve it?
Can we tell the wrong from right?
Have our leaders learned the lessor
Written out in blood and tears,
Have their hearts received the mes
sage
Of these awful warning years?
Are they big enough, wonder,
Will they stand the final test;
Wedding out the selfish motives,
Clinging ONLY to the best?
God of nations, be their helper,
Guide in all they do, and say;
Bring us safely to the dawning
Of brighter, better day.

The New Gettysburg

In an article describing experiences
at Chateau Thierry, the Rev. Joseph
H. Odell, formerly of this city,
refers to the great battle as
''the Gettysburg of the present
war" 1t is an apt title, and the
resemblances are many. Both battles
were fought in July and both marked
the high tide of invasion, if we except
Won Kluck's short-lived drive below
the Marine.
There is the further pleasing
thought that in both places Pennsyl-
vanians stood at High Tide" and
drove back the enemy. Just as
Webb's Philadelphia brigade drove
back Pickett's charge, SO Pennsyl-
vania division, largely Philadelphians,
had the post of honor and stopped the
German hordes just at the moment
they believed they were on the eve
of victory Pickett was no more
= confident of success than was Luden-
dorff in the hot days of last July.
The story is told and has never been
denied, that on this particular occa-
sion Pennsylvania troops covered
themselves with glory in an unexpect-
ed manner. A division of our troops
south of the Marine was in ravine
and was ordered by the French com
mander to retreat south to a range
of hills. In defiance of military law
and taking his official life in hi:
hands, the American commander sen
back word that Americans were un
accustomed to retreat and were poine
forward. They did so, drove off TIT
Germans, and began a forward marcl
which has not yet ended.--Philadel
