(FrOm an EXchange.l

All our pervious editorials have
been written in tone devoid of ha-
tired and viciousness. We have en-
deavored to instil into your minds the
spirit Of world democracy and the
universal brotherhood of man.
We wrote thus in the belief that
the methods of warfare practiced by
the Hun would change when we ON
this side of the World entered the
War.
Our benefits were unfounded, our
hopes have been shattered When the
Huns sink hospital ships and freight
ers without warning and their u
boats stand idly by and sec the crew
struggling desperately in the water
and complaccntly watch them sink
one by one into watery grave, and
yet Withhold helping hand-when
their soldiers, with ruthless aban-
don, mutiliate their captives and vio-
late their women and children, can
anyone believe that mercy dwells in
the hearts Of the Huns?
In the light of such happenings our
inmost souls are stirred, our blood
bolls, and we must strip our editor
ials Of all high-sounding language
and soft phrases that breathe the
apirit of brotherhood of man and re-
sort to language that expresses our
feelings, and describe the course that
our soldiers should pursue in this
great struggle. We fell that we are
justified in the eye of God and man
IN resorting to retaliation, retaliation
full and complete-rctaliati how.
ever, upon their rulers and fighters.
not upon their women and children,
the old and helpless-God forbid that
we should descend to that level-but
retaliation in battle only. Therefore.

brotherhood of man, but we truly
and firmly believe that the Hun isl
disqualified in heart and mind for en-
trance to such body. We can find
neither pride nor comfort in the
thought of being Of that brotherhood
II the Huns were in it's fold. We con-
TESS that such brotherhood is i'm
possible until the Huns as such are no

Push on, tramping down obstacles
Give no quarter! Give them the gas.
The bullet, the steel! If they believed
that putting terror in their enemies,
hearts will win the war, reverse it,
put it in their hearts! Keep this
thought in mind. "If 1 don't finish
you, you'll finish me-" and sail in
and finish them.

TAZEWELL AWAKE TO IT'S
DUTY.

The people Of Tazewell County are
fast awakening to the fact that we
are at war. There has been Won
dcrful revolution of thought through
out the county within the pas. month.
This change has been brought about
largely through the influence of the
public-spiritcd citizens Of the county,
who have given largely Of their time
in speaking md talking and explain
ing to the people the situation which
we face. Last Sunday there were
half dozen or more speeches
made in the county in behalf of the
Liberty Loan and Food conservation.
Nearly every section Of the county
was reached by the speakers. In one
or two communities where there was
some opposition to the food admin
istration's ruling as to the DISPOSE
ton of wheat, much good was done
by the speakers in pointing out the
reason for the strict ruling MS to the
boarding of wheat. The great troub-
lie in this section and throughout the
country has been that the average
man has not been nblc to comprc-
bend the situation-the bigness of
the undertaking Of the United States.
was more than he could grasp, and
there are mighty few of us whose
foresight and power of comprehension
have yet been developed to the extent
that we could catch the vision of the
coming dawn.

Income, $7l4,O92.

So, it appears there is not great
difference in the wealth Of the two
countries, while the income of Rus

thousand dollars.
AS to the Y NJ. C. A. campaign,
our friend challenges us to show up.
Well do so. Our allotment was 49,
$50. We gave s4,8OO-over the ton

other causes except the Liberty Loan
Now, you show up. What have you
done for these other causes?
We were not simply trying TO star,
something that we could not stop "po.
litely."
We don't know what the Lebanon
News means to imply by the use OF
the word politely" However, we
started something" that we don't
want to stop. We only hope to stir
up our ,ieighbors if we can, to do
their share in the great crisis th~
which we are passing. There are
about seven other counties in the
great Ninth district in about the
same fix as Russell. No explanation
OF apology has been heard from them
so far as to why they are willing a.
go down on the records as "slackers."

only slightly under its allotment,

MORALE OF THE YIRGINIANS is
HIGHEST.

Josiah II. Ellis, Jr., son of j. r.
Ellis, of Yancey, Va, brother of
Mrs. j. L. Jackson, of this town, has
written the following very interesting
letter from France, appearing in Al
recent issue of the Richmond News

s and Michael Kelly.

The South Side social settlement is
very busy place these dayss-The
CHEEKY, sunny rooms are the scene of
numerous activities and the big sis
tiers, the kiddies and their mothers of
the South Side find it pleasant place
to work and play.
A we'll equipped kitchen on the Sec
ond floor is used for domestic science
classes and twice a week a little
group of working girls may be found
cooking their suppers on the cunning
little gas stoves. The only fault they
find is that the kitchen is not big
enough, for SO many more girls are
anxious to join these evening classes
and they must be turned away.
Red Cross work plays an important
part at the settlement. A number of
women have regular days when they
work in the large rooms provided for
making surgical dressings. Six differ
ent nationalities are represented in
this group, but they work together
harmoniously for the fighting men Of
their adopted country.
The children take the keepest en-
joyment in their large, sunny play
room. Real kindergarten games and
stories occupy the afternoons and
sometimes they have parties. Pathetic
little parties they are, with number
less red chairs about the tables set
in a tiny room in the basement. A
chocolate cooky and a few pieces of
candy are the refreshments, but to
their childish eyes-and appetities-it'
is feast fit for a king. The children
really are an interesting study in
themselves. Michael Kelly is the Tiny
Tim OF the settlement. The poor little
chap drags one foot and his little
spine is not quite as straight as it
should be, but one forgets all this
when they look into his bright face.

Dances.
Dear Miss Fairfax: Three girls have been
men, well known to the girls. Is It proper
for the girls to dance with people at the
affair that they will be introduced to
through these young men without the party
asking permission of the escort? This is o
frequent question that arises. ROWENA.
Naturally when your escorts introduce you
to their friends they are practically telling
you that they want you to meet and know
each other. So you may dance with the msA
to whom you are introduced by these es'
corts. But you must not neglect your hosts.
must give them first preference and must
not show such desire for anybody e!se's
society as to hum!llate those who took ys~
to the dance.

are foolish questions, but I am waiting

I think the simplest way to find out

Before the advance of the Allies in July the
German comic journal Simplicssimus publish
ed a cartoon in which an American general was
asked where he got his military education. He
replied:
With Buffalo Bill as a trick shooter
Excellent, excellent indeed, before the events
of the advance in which the Americans have
figured prominently. A very poor joke, good
for nothing more than very dry grin when
read by the Kaiser in the light of events of the
last five or six weeks.
The military education that is made in Ger
many is somewhat more elaborate than that
which is American-made. The German military
education includes the incubation of the prin-
eiple that every crime which would be abhor-
rent in civil life may be practiced, and "even
may be considered the highest morality" when
committed for the furtherance of the plans of
The country which the soldier or officer is serv-

The military education of the present Ameri-

mans, supplemented by instructions as to how
Germans may be killed rapidly; killed in bun

imagined that they are safe, killed when they
believe they are invincible because the Kaiser
has told them so, killed in the trenches killed
in the air killed on the jump, killed back to the
Rhine, killed beyond the Rhine, killed until the

HARD COAL FOR BERKELEY COUNTY

1t appears from latest reports that after a
great deal of uncertainty and suspense the Fuel
Administration, at Washington, has reversed
its original ruling not to give any part of West
Virginia hard coal and are going to give this
county certain limited amount
The trouble all began because the Fuel Ad-
ministration officials made the mistake of lay
ing down bfoad general principles which they
said should apply to everybody within certain
fixed geographical lines. They decided, among
other things, that SO long as West Virginia was
one of the great soft coal producing states of
the Union, she should not be allowed to burn
any hard coal. One of the things which the
fuel officials had in mind, when they laid down
the law, was to cut out all possible congestion
on the railroads and all the long hauls
In their decision as to how the coal should be
allotted to the various states they overlooked,
IN our own case at least, two very important
points One is that great many of our resi-
dents have always used hard coal and they are
not equipped to use any other kind of fuel. We
are nearer to the anthracite coal fields of Penn
sylvania than we are to the bituminous mines
IN our own states and moreover, there are
mountains of considerable height separating US
from the rest Of the state an obstacle of no lit
tie Importance when it comes to shipping the
coal.
Geographically the Eastern Panhandle is
apart from the rest of the state and it so iuts
INTO Maryland and Virginia that shipments of
hard coal coming down the valley from points
north of Hagerstown, destined for Winchester
and points SOUTH must of necessity pass through
Martinsburg. When this point was clearly ex-
planned to the officials at Washington they saw
the light and conceded the strength of our case.
IN their desire to live up to the letter of the
ruling laid down they had missed the spirit of
1t entirely. Now that they have given us what
we want we can face the fast coming winter
with easier minds.
Like everything else which takes effort to ac-
compllsa it there are always many people who
want to claim the credit for doing it. I'm
doubtedly, in the coming political campaign. we
shall be told that Il got you your hard coal''
and i was on The job continually to see that
you, my dear constituents, got coal to keep YOU
warm through the winter and many other
similar absurdties. Looking at it from an angle
or knowing many of the facts in the case we do
not feel that anyone should attempt to make
political capital out Of the matter.
