HELP For RUSSIA.

| Russia has been, is now and will
continue to be the great enigma of
the war; But there are indications
that soon something Is going to occur
that will make the situation in the
vast country east of Germany more
favorable to the allies. The arrival
Of Kornaloff in America will provide
the anti-Bolsheyiki with a direct EN-.
missary in this country who can give
the state department a true version
Of what the attitude of the Kerensky
faction is toward the allies, and
through him the United States will be
able to make known to the suffering
people of Russia what this nation is
willing to do to help them throw off
the yoke of Prussian autocracy which
was put upon them so soon after they
had deposed the Car.
A recent United Press dispatch in
The Herald said that the Bolsheviki
are living their last days. The Boil
sheviki themselves are said to have
admitted: I'VE are already corpse
but there is no one to bury us"
They will not long remain unburied.
Either the Germans, with a restora-
ton of the old order similar to that
which was so successful for them in
the Ukraine, will bury them, or the
proletariat composing the social den-
ocrats and cadets will with the assist
ance of the allies create new gov
eminent that will, bury them.
1t is becoming increasingly clear to
the diplomats of the allies that when
the subservient Bolsheviki are driven
from power, the nations that are de-
Tending the cause of liberty should be
at hand to assist in the establishment
Of a government that will be friendly
to them. Otherwise, Germany will be
there and the outcome will be an ex-
tension of German power over land
that may become a storehouse of
fresh troops and provisions. AL
ready there is talk of sending Ameri-
can troops to Russia to assist the JAP
anese in maintaining order until the
new democratic government can be
established.
The allies may never expect to Sc
cure any positive aid from Russia in
winning the war, but if sufficient op-
position to Germany can be main
tanned to necessitate German army
on the east to hold what has already
been stolen, it will be to just that ex-
tent easier for the allied armies on
the west to finally crush the Teutons.

Another volunteer service that the
civilian population Of Maury county
can perform is that of surrendering
next Monday all the full wheat flour
they may have in their possession to
the government to be exported to the
soldiers and allies across the Atlantic.
Mixed flour and corn meal or flour
cannot be safely transported across
the ocean. The existing supply of
full wheat flour is not sufficient to
meet the demands of the fighters in
the war zone. The new harvest will
not be available for the market be-
fore August Is. The only source
from which the government can meet
the demand is from the homes of the
people and from dealers who have
small quantities stored away. It is
not known how much of this flour
there is in Maury county. There may
be one or two car loads, but there may
be less than 10 barrels. Only the
actual quantity on hand and the pa
triotism of the people will determine
this. But whatever the quantity may
be the government wants it, IL It is
in unbroken or original packages.

Gates WITHDRAWAL

News of the withdrawal OF Charles
T. Gates from the contest for the SEN
atorial nomination will be received
with genuine regret by his hundreds
OF supporters in Maury county. Had
Gen Gates continued in the race, what
ever the result may have been in the
state, there is little doubt that he
would have polled a majority of the
democratic votes in Maury county,
where he has always been popular.
He has made number of visits to
this county and spoken here often,
always to large and appreciative
crowds and he has scores of warm
personal friends in the county who
were actively at work for him.
The Herald, while not in any way
questioning the wisdom of Gen. Gates
action, regrets that the state wilt be
deprived at this time of the benefit of
his great ability in the senate of the
United States. Strong, able, patriotic,
eloquent, earnest, aggressive men like
Gates are needed in the nations coun-
ellis Yin this great crisis. Had Gates
been elected to the senate he would
have been the ablest Tennessean to
sit in that body since the retirement
OF the lamented Edward w. Carmack.
He is equipped as probably no other
man in Tennessee for a seat in the
senate. Able, eloquent, intensely patri-
otto, thoroughly devoted to the cause
for which America has unsheathed
her sword in this great crisis, Gates
would have adorned senate that has
known such brilliant Tennesseans as
Carmack, Harris. Johnson and White.
Charles T. Gates has rendered dis
tinguished service to his state as a
public servant. He was probably the
ablest encouragement the state ever
had. There is no ADLER lawyer with
in the bounds of the state than this
distinguished Knox, countian. He
made the attorney-general's office a
great department Of state. He aided
in writing upon the statute books and
In sustaining In the courts many of
the great reform measures of recent
years.
Gates Is most loveable man per-
sonally. He binds his friends to him
with hoops Of steel. Loyalty to prin-
ciple and to friends is one of the
dominant traits Of his character. He
Is generous to fault. 1t is exceed
ingly unfortunate for the state and the
nation that conditions are such that
his great services cannot be utilized
in the worlds most august body"
The withdrawal OF Gen. Gates
leaves the field to Governor Tom c.
Rye and the present senator, John
knight Shields.

weld this country into one great war
machine.
The people of this county have al
ways been for winning the war to
make the world safe for democracy
and to crush the hellish despotism OF
the Hohenzollerns and Hapsburgs;
but now they are for winning the war
for more personal reason, which Is
nothing less than to bring those boys
of the two home batteries and all the
others in other units safely back to
this land and to avenge the lives OF
those that may be lost over there.
This il our war now and we will
put every dollar and every man the
county possesses into 1t to win.

.uNwARRANTEp AND ABSURD.

The Marshall Gazette declares that
vote for Shields is a vote of en-
dorsement for the Wilson administra-
tion. When this statement was made
Shields was opposed by Gates and
Rye, the inference, and the only in
ference being that vote for either
Of those gentlemen would be a vote
against the Wilson administration.
This is a ridiculous, unwarranted
and wholly unfair statement and al
together unworthy Of newspaper
like the Gazette. No charge of lack
of loyalty or devotion to the Wilson
administration can be sustained
against either Charles IT, Gates or
Tom C. Rye. The former has been
from the beginning of the great strug-
gle in Europe four years ago strong
advocate OF the cause of the allies.
Years before this nation saw It's duty
to civilization and humanity, Gen.
Gates was the ardent supporter Of the
cause for which Britain and France
have shed their best blood. From the
beginning Of our struggle he has been
the earnest and consistent supporter
Of the President and every war meas
ure. He has contributed literally Of
his time and money to every war
agency.
Surely as much can be said for Gov.
Rye. The Herald holds no brief for
the governor. On many occasions he
has frankly disappointed this paper,
but candor and justice compel 1t to
say that he has done all that he
could do as governor to aid the war
program of his nation. His first
born wears the service uniform of the
United States. ready IL necessary to
offer the last full measure of devo-
ton" on the blood soaked plains of
France for liberty and humanity.
Every war worker in Tennessee will
testify to the fidelity, the zeal and
the devotion with which Gov. Rye has
labored to advance the nations inter-
est In Tennessee since the beginning
of this awful struggle. His loyalty
to the President cannot be called in
question. When the draft act was
pending in congress and many politi-
clans and newspapers In this state
were attacking 1t and seeking there
by to hamper and cripple the nations
effectiveness in war. Gov. Rye volun.
tarily came TO the aid OF the President
with strong appeal for the enact.
ment of the selective draft law.
Gov. Rye has been exceedingly gen.

THE DRAFT AMENDMENT

The proposed amendment OF the
draft laws to extend their operations
to include men from IS to As. which al
ready has made considerable Roadway
In congress and has the approval OF
President Wilson, will solve not only
the military program OF force to the
limit and without stint, but also will
solve the problem Of labor shortage in
the, United States.
We do not know what regulations
would be adopted by the Provost
Marshall General In drawing upon the
vast number of men that would thus
be made available for military SER
vice, but 1t seems that the practical
thing would be to classify the men
registered under this amendment ac'
cording to their ages, putting those
below 81 years OF age and above 81
years of age In deferred classes, sub
ject to call to- the colors whenever
they are needed, but until that time
required to work or fight" just as
the men under the present registra-
ton will be required to do after July
L., Then the government could d.
rect the occupation OF majority OF
the imenaof working age in the United
States. Migrants and loafers would
be put to work at some essential occu-
patton or put into the army. These
regulations could be extended to the
point where the Provost Marshal
General could draft men for govern
ment work at army wages, thus re-
lieving the competition in wage Of
fers that has SO demoralized industrial
conditions.
The American people are beginning
to realize that the country, is at war,
and that the Services Of every man,
whether he be q day laborer OF a cor
poration president, are at the COM
mand of the government. Public
opinion is ripe for the government to
say to. any man, you are not doing
all that it, is necessary for you to do
in the position you now occupy. Leave
that position and do this work or do
that work regardless Of the monetary
sacrifice that. may be, involved" )
The time II coming when the gov
eminent can say to the clerk, the law
yer, the newspaper man, or any other
class Of worker, 1--WE want you to
help harvest a. CROP to become a ship
builder, to be enrolled as a workman
In munition plant, or become angag-
ed in some other labor essential to
winning the war"
The Is to As amendment should be
enacted.
Military necessity demands it, and
economic necessity will prove its
worth.

ROBERT PATCHELL.

Robert Patched was born on farm
near Willmar forty years ago. He
died Nov. /, 1918, from influenza and
pneumonia. A more kind and indus.
trious soul could not be found, than
he had been during his whole life.
Robert was in debilitated condi-
ton because of previous rheumatism
and other illness due to overwork
when he was taken with an aggravated
case of Influenza. He ate but frag-
ments of food, and his severe pains
we're not relieved. During the twelve
days with influenza and pneumonia,
the latter developing in both lungs,
he opened not his mouth in a single
murmur of complaint. He lived fifteen
hours after the doctor had said it was
impossible because his mother asked
him to get him we'll for her. He slept
away and our first words Of comfort
were, HE is fitted for greater things
to do" And dear Roberts sweet spirit
comforts us and keeps us company.
Elizabeth, his loved niece and l,
his sister, were unable to 90 to his
funeral. AS we listened to the music
made by the water pail on the oil
heater in the bedroom, while the folks
were at the funeral, it was as if num-
berless hosts were playing Roberts
welcome to heaven.
His Loved Ones.
P. S.-We sincerely thank all kind
friends for their sympathy.
