Famous Lecturer
AT Tusculurn

Dr. William Elliott Griffts, a
traveller and lecturer of wide repute,
spoke to the students of Tusculum
last night on How the World Looks
in 1918"
He emphasized the fact that all ma
lions and all races are alike in origin
and development, if considered with
broad enough perspective, since hui
man nature is the same in all times
and places. Only through a small
period of time can one nation claim
to be superior to others and this tenn
porary difference is due, to a great
extent, to difference in the existing
national PHILOSOPHERS. The philOso-
ply of Germany has led her to ex-
treme self-laudation so that she read
lily acquiesced in William H. plan of
conquering and ruling the world.
DR.. Griffts compared William II with
those rulers of the past who had tried
the same thing and had failed.

of the classes in history and sociol-

Newport Citizens
Ring the Bell

Our little neighboring city Of New
port has hit the bulls-eye center. She
put one over on her neighbors yester-
day when she held big patriotic
meeting, 1t is said that Newport had
counted upon raising or selling $780,
coo worth of Liberty Bonds on rally
day, but to the great surprise of the
committee in charge Of the Third Tib-
erty Loan in that county they sold
more than S75,OOOOO worth Of bonds
during this one day. Newport and
Cooke county are to be commended
for this noble patriotic spirit.
Greene county could just as easily
buy 100000 in as short time If
our people could be made to see the
real necessity Of it. If some Of our
good citizens who have thousands Of
dollars stuck away in their jeans land
we dare say any amount of it is bur-
led and hidden in hollow logs) could
be made to KNOW that in the pur-
chase of Liberty Bond their money
is safer than it could possibly be in
vested in any other way in the world.
