How are parents and friends going
to meet the boys from lover there"
when they come back? They are
continuously face to face with death,
and in the hour Of battle they have
learned to know God, not as a vague
belief, but as real and personal and
present. They are consequently be-
ing transformed into fine and noble
manhood which has its foundation in
the great spiritual realities. Is it not
necessary for those at home to keep
step with them in this transformation
of the inner life? 1t can be done
there is a method of growth which
is simple and plain. This method the
pastor Of the Presbyterian church
will discuss tonight at the prayer ser
vice. Are you not interested for the
sake of that boy who is going to come
back? Come tonight at 8 o'clock.

A LETTER FROM A. J. DRAPER.
To The Good Citizens Of Greene
County and East Tennessee,

To The Good Citizsns of Greene
County and East Tennessee,
am glad that | can bring cheer
full word from the boys that left
Greene county and East Tennessee
on May 25th for training camp at
Camp Pike, Ark, and am glad to
say that they have shown some speed
in being drilled in so short a time.
We East Tennessee boys carried off
the honors on our Workmanship and
our drilling. On exhibition drill, the
major and colonel notified the COM
pany commander that Company f
had the distinction Of being the best
drilled company on the field. But
it doesn't matter what company
Company Commander Simmons and
Lieutenants C. Rule, Rodenhaver and
Reynolds have charge of, their COM
pany will be the winner, for we boys
think these are the four best lieu
tenants in Camp Pike. We want the
people Of East Tennessee to remem-
Der them for what they have done
for us mountain boys. They are to
be given credit for all we know about
army life.
The following boys asked me to
give their regards and love to their
relatives and friends in Greene
county: Rural C. Crawford, Martin
v. Cox, Yokley brothers, Red Ker-
baugh, William Dobson, James Hin
kle, Mr.. Malone, Charles Gentry,
Walter Laughlin, Hugh Kilgore, Mr..
Harrison, Tom Cogbern, Mr.. Stills.
l think the people Of Greene coun-
ty ought to be proud of Venus Quinn,
of Warrensburg, as it was reported
that he broke the record on shooting
at rifle range, hitting ten bulls eyes
in ten shots on 600-yard range,
and nineteen out of twenty on the
300-yard range, and being just as
good at rapid fire.
We want you people to know that
we are going to show some of this
same speed when wet get cover there"
with our aim set for Berlin, if the
other boys don't get the kaiser be-
fore wet get there, and we are hoping
we won't need the boys that are hav-
ing to register now. In fact, we
don't believe we shall need them over
there. So here's good luck to the
good old U, S. A. until we return
victorious.
But | must not close without say
ing something for the Red Cross and
the Y. M. c. A., for these two or
CARNATIONS are mothers to us boys.
The man who will not help the Red
Cross and the Y. M. c. "A. is GER
tainly a Stacker.
Remember, Mr.. Stacker, we are
putting our lives at stake for you as
well as for others, and when we get
back we don't want to associate with
your class.

TO THE YOUNG WOMEN OF THE
UNITED STATES.

| want every young woman in the
country, every woman between 10
and 30, to read carefully what have
to say, and to give it earnest atten-
ton. 1t is message which every
CIR fought to welcome because it tells
of an opportunity to help the nation.
The Army and the Country Face a
Shortage of Nurses.
The army alone will require some
thing like $4,000 nurses by the first
of next January. We have secured
about $4,000 of this number; we
need 10000 more. We have got to
have them or the army will run short,
and this would be an outcome in
credible and intolerable to the Amer
lean people.
Only graduate nurses who have
been through the full course of train
ing are available for this high serv-
ice. These nurses have to be taken
out of the hospitals and from care of
the sick at home. This means that
when we recruit our full quota for
the army, their places in the civil
communities must be filled; hence
this call for student nurses-to fill
the vacancies, prepare for profess
sional service, and meanwhile to make
it possible for our hospitals, both
civil and military, to carry on, and
for the American people to hold the
health standards of the country as
high as they have ever been held in
times of peace.
If | were a young woman and
wanted to do my country the great
est service in my power, | should go
at once to the nearest recruiting sta
ton of the woman's committee of the
Council of National Defense and en-
roll in the United States Student
Nurse Reserve. This enrolment
would at once make me candidate
for the Army Nursing School or for
one of the civilian training schools
for nurses. / cannot conceive Of a
more valuable service, more wom-
anly service. | can give every girl
who enrolls in the Reserve my per-
sonal assurance that she is making
herself count, and l should be
ashamed Of any woman who did not
long with all her heart and soul to
make herself count in the defeat of
Germany.
