for refusing to don the United States army uniform have
been saved from life Imprisonment by the communication
Of their sentences Is years in Fort Leavenworh They
are said to be members of religious sect which does not
believe in the employment of force and not only did they
refuse to fight but they declined to the regulation
uniform and perform non-combatant camp service
The intmaton is conveyed that there is something
more than conscientious Directing responsible for the
severe sentence imposed by the court 1t said that they
were guilty Of spreading dsoyal propaganda among their
camp mates and striving to foment INSTRUMENTATION
against the authority Of the government One Of these
directors was sentenced death for such reasonable
action though the sentence reduced to Imprisonment
Just how much latitude is to be given conscientious
objectors" in the army is a question which viii have
to be settled definitely. It viii be necessary to have

With
Teuton Dead

PARIS, June 12.---The ground over
which the French advanced in their
counter-attack Tuesday was literally
heaped with German dead, says the
Havas correspondent at the front. In
retaking Belloy and reaching the
southern outskirts of st. Maur, the
French surprised the Germans, who,
until then, had thought they were
masters of the situation. The Ger
mans retired in disorder and brought
horses to the first line at full gallop
in order to carry away their guns.
The ardent and valient counter-at-
tack, the correspondent says, proved
that the French have not lost their
hitting power.

The Franklin
Memorial

There is some interesting history
connected with Greeneville, Tenn.
That town was the home of Andrew
Johnson, the tailor, who became vice
president of the United States to-
ward the close of the Civil War and
succeeded to the presidency upon the
assassination of President Lincoln.
Johnson's old tailor shop still islands
in Greeneville, we believe.
But Greeneville was known to his
tory long before Andrew Johnson's
time. 1t was the Capital, or first
Capital, of the State Of Franklin, of
which East Tennessee was once a
part. The State of Franklin was
founded by heroes Of the Revolution
airy War, but later it was carved into
two or three States or parts of States
and it's IDENTIFY was lost.
Tennessee Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution, led by Samuel Doak
Chapter of Morristown, have erected
at Greeneville memorial to the lost
Commonwealth and its founders. The
memorial takes the form of granite
exedra, to which the counties of East
Tennessee contributed. The exedra
will be unveiled next Friday, National
Flag Day, with patriotic exercises.
The address of the occasion will be
delivered by Mon. Jas. B. Frazier.
By reason of the interesting event
planned at Greenevlle, Flag Day will
take on an added significance to the
people of Tennessee. The men
whose meory is to be honored were
the men who gave us the Flag, which
we Of this generation are called upon
to defend from foreign foe. There
should be a host of people at Greene
vile next Friday to pay tribute to the
Revolutionary patriots from whom we
received our heritage of Liberty, and
to the ptriotic sons Of America who
are fighting today to preserve that
priceless heritage.-Brist Herald
Courier.

Main street business remarked this morning that
tomorrow was the day that Morristown citizens would
place Greenevie upon the map by dedcating monument
to the credit of that city, is certainly good of Morris
town to manifest this interest in her neighborng town,
and there is no getting around the fact tina the site of
the State of Franklin would have remained unmarked had
it not been for the good of lasting gratitude to the good
ladies of the D. A. R. of Morrstown Greenevlle will
owe debt of lasting gratitude to the good ladies of Nor
rstown for their untiring work in this matter.

Another Example
Of Germany's
Fine Hand

Evidence of the extremes to which
German propaganda goes in an eff
fort to convine the Teuton people
that the allies can hold out but little
longer continues to reach the State
Department. An intercepted wire
less message, made public today, says
that America is experiencing such
great difficulty n securing sailors to
man war ships that England has
taken 1000 Greek sailors to London,
en- route to the United States to be
put aboard American battleships.

PARTS IMPROBABLE.

/
Poincare has signed decree nomina-
ting a committee, presided over by
Gen. Dubail, military governor of
Paris, to prepare the defense of the
French capital has caused some anxi-
ETY. in certain circles. It has created
the idea that the present German
drive is more successful than the au-
thorities care to admit and that Paris
| is seriously menaced.
This is quite a mistaken impression.
The French capital is still far from
being in actual danger, and what is
still more important, if it were, it is
perfectly capable of successfully de-
Tending itself. 1t is today in much
better position than it was four years
ago when threatened by the first Ger
man rush across Belgium. At that
time the triplesring of forts defending
the capital were badly provided with
guns and munitions and there was no
special garrison to defend the i'm
mense intrenched camp of Paris.
The government, however, put the
defense of the capital in the capable
hands of the late Gen. Gallieni, and
every one knows how admirably he
performed his task. By miracle of
energy he assembled a garrison of
500, 900 men, and with them put 100.-
600 civilians to work with picks and
spades to create a labyrinth Of
trenches around the city. Hundreds
of homes which had been built in the
military zone were pulled down and
placis established round all the forts.
In less than month hundreds of
miles of field Notifications were con-
structed, bristling with barbed wire.
All the work done at that time still
exists, and has even been improved.
Paris is surrounded by triple line of
forts, the first of which lies 40 kilo-
meters or so from the city, the second
20 kilometers, while the third is about
or 6 kilometers distant. In addi-
ton there is the wall, with its 80 bas-
tons and deep moat that runs COM
pletely round the city. The guns of
the various forts command all the ter
ritory lying between them, so that the
enemy trying to psAI between them
would be exposed to crossfre which
would render the attempt hopeless.
The Germans would have to batter
down at least two of the forts be-
fore they could make a breach
through which they could hope to
pass.
1t is true Liege and Namur both
proved that no fortress can resist in
definitely the bombardment of mod
ern artillery, but the reduction of the
triple line Of forts would be long
|
and costly affair. The point of at
tack would indicate exactly where he
enemy intended to force his way
through, and would allow of field
works on an immense scale being
constructed in the rear. The in
trenched camp of Paris garrisoned by
an allied force running to millions
would prove an insuperable barrier.
Of course, this is only true on con-
dition that the defenses Of the in
trenched camp should be thoroughly
prepared. 1t is with view to doing
so on a scale that will render a Ger
man attack hopeless that the COM
mittee presided over by Gen. Dubail
has been created.
