To the citizens of Obion County:
At the suggestion of the various
State war organizations, Governor
Rye has called patriotic meetings of
the citizens of Tennessee, to be held
in every county at the courthouse, at
/ D. m. on the First Monday in April.
This meeting is a very important
one. Every man and woman who
loves his country should be present.
Our people must be aroused to the
gravity of the present situation.
Even as l write, we are in the midst
of struggle for the nations life or
death. AS redblooded freemen,
worthy of citizenship in a great re-
public, it is necessary for us to put
far greater efforts into this war than
we have yet done.
In the name of God, are we worthy
of being fought for? Is there no
God but a dollar? Will our people
never wake up until confronted with
the maRgled forms of their soldier
sons? Shall our sons fight unaided,
while we sanctimoniously prate
about our patriotism; when this
patriotism consists only in running
our business at big profit? The
man hiding behind business and
wheeling about his patriotism is a
Stacker and he knows it, and his
neighbors know it. And our boys
over yonder risking their lives, fight
ing bravely for us, know it and de-
spise it. Wake up!
Our people are brave and patri-
otto, but unfortunately great ma
jority of them have not had the OPP
portunty to get thoroly enlightened
as to the real situation.
If we measure up to the spirit of
Valley Forge and New Orleans, we
must not only send our men to the
front, but we must back them up at
home.
hOoO WIN h6nI IhC ANdAoCl
not be forced to carry lukewarm
home people, or parasitic yellow
slackers on their backs.
All of the mothers and fathers of
the boys now in the army should be
certain to attend this meeting. The
speeches made will carry comfort,
hope, pride and enthusiasm to their
hearts.
Every true American citizen should
feel a glow of pride, that his own
flesh and blood are doing the part of
real men in this just and holy war
Very truly yours,

NEWS NOTES.

American built battle planes will
be in France in sufficient numbers
to protect American forces by July.
This announcement was given out on
highest authority. The air program
is now sixty days behind schedule,
but it is hoped to rush the work so
as to make up for lost time. Rep
resentative Kahn, ranking Repub-
lican member of the House Military
Committee, declared that the plan of
taking Congress into the confidence
of the War Department would make
for team work.
Germany's. offensive on the west
front is play to the German people
by the militarist, whose sway no
longer is absolute. This is the view
of the War Department in the review
of the weeks operations. No definite
enveloping movement as yet has been
outlined. The Communique states it
is premature to express opinions on
the tactical phases of the combat.
Efforts to get Americans, stranded
in Finland, out of that country, have
failed. The envoy sent to Gen. Man
nerheim, White Guard leader, by
Minister Morris at Stockholm, has
been sent back empty handed. Gen.
Mannerheim refuses in any way to
treat with the Red Guard. In the
meantime the German forces menace
the Americans.
