THE ORDER GIVEN BY A
CHRISTIAN SOLDIER

A dispatch sent out from the
French army in France, under recent
date, says:
Gen. Petain, the French commander
in-chief, has issued the following or
der to his troops;
ITO the French Armies: During the
long months you have fought history,
will record the tenacity and fierce
energy displayed during these four
years by our country which had to
vanquish in order not to die.
Tomorrow, in order to better die
tate peace, you are going to carry
your arms as far as the Rhine. Into
that land of Alsace- Lorraine that is
so dear to US, you will march as liber-
ators. You will go further, all the
way into Germany, to occupy lands
which are the necessary guarantees
for just reparation.
"France has suffered in her raw
aged fields and in her ruined viii
lagos. The freed provinces have had
to submit to intolerable vexations
and odious outrages, but you are not
to answer these crimes by the COM
mission of violences, which, under the
spur of your resentment, may seem
to you legitimate.
"You are to remain under discipline
and show respect to persons and
property. You will know, after having
vanquished your adversary by force
of arms, how to impress him further
by the dignity Of your attitude, and
the world will not know which to adj
mire most, your conduct in success
or your heroism in fighting.
II address fond and affectionate
greeting to our dead, whose sacri-
flee gave us the victory. And ! send
message Of salutation, full Of SAD
affection, to the fathers, to the moth
ers, to the widows and orphans
Of France, who in these days of ma
tional JOY dry their tears for a mo-
ment to acclaim the triumph of our
arms. / bow my head before your
magnificent flags.
"Viye la France!
(Signed) "PETAIN."

PRESIDENT WILSON Is TO
ATTEND PEACE CONFERENCE

Washington, Nov. IS. - president
Wilson viii attend the opening ses.
sion Of the peace conference. This
was announced tonight officially He
will 60 Immediately after the con-
vening Of the regular session Of Con
gress on December 2.
The official statement was issued
at the White House.
How long the president viii remain
abroad he himself probably cannot
now say. The time for the conven-
ing of the peace conference has not
vet been announced, but the general
belief here is that it cannot be assem-
bled before late in December at the
earliest. If such proves the case the
president will be absent from the
country for at least a month or long
er.
What plans the president may
have for his trip other than to at
tend the opening of the peace con-
ference and to participate in the dis
cussions among the representatives
of the associated nations, which will
precede it, have not been revealed.
He undoubtedly will be accompanied
by Mrs. Wilson and it is expected
here that besides visiting Paris,
where the peace conference probably
will be held, he win go to London
and possibly to Brussels and Rome.
Mr.. Wilson is expected to receive
abroad a reception such as has been
accorded but few men in public life.
He will be welcomed not only as the
president Of the United States and
the commanderin-chief of its army
and navy, but also as the champion
of world democracy.
In visiting Europe the president
win establish two presidents. He
will be the first chief executive of
the United States to participate in
a peace conference for the settling of
issues growing out of war in which
this country participated, and like
wise will be the first president to
leave North America during his term
Of office.
Secretary Lansing undoubtedly will
head the American commissioners.
Others regarded as probable selec-
tons as delegates are Col. House,
Louis ID. Brandeis, associate justice
Of the supreme court, and Elihu Root,
former secretary of state.
Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, former chief
of staff and military representative
Of the United States on the supreme |
war council, is expected to head the
representatives from this
country who will assist in the work
at the peace conference, while Vice
Sims probably will be select
ed to head the naval delegation.
Besides the delegates and military |
and naval representatives, there will
be secretary to the delegation and |
a number of assistant secretaries |
and clerks.

PAUL LYTLE RICE KILLED
ON WESTERN BATTLE FRONT

Not only his father and mother
brother and sisters, but the entire
community was deeply saddened last
week, when a message was received
announcing that Paul Lyle Rice was
killed in France on October ~.
Sad indeed was the untlmely death
Of this brave and bright young man,
who entered training SOON after
Americas entrance into the war.
Truly life had many attractions for
this young soldier.
Mr.. John w. Rice, of the Liberty
neighborhood, father of the young
man, received official information
from Washington of his death as a
result Of wounds received in action
on the western battle front. Paul
was a member Of the Hath Machine
Gun Battery, 90th Division, and was
in much Of the heavy fighting on the
western front, along with other brave
boys from Upton and other Tennes-
see counties. He was in the first
contingent of soldiers to leave here
for training at Camp Gordon, Ga,
on September 81, 1917. He would
have been "a years of age on De-
cember / next.
His star on the service flag at Lib
erty church will now turn to gold
He was among the first of Upton
county's boys to pay the supreme
price Of the worlds great struggle
for liberty. He was a member of
the Liberty Baptist church. The fam
lily have the tender sympathy Of our
people.

PARK FIELD MAY BE MADE
PERMANENT AERO SCHOOL

Washington, Nov. 15.--An effort
will be made by Senator Mcclellan to
have Park Field designated as one Of
the permanent aviation centers of the
country. The Memphis Chamber of
Commerce has wired asking that the
senator present this matter to the
proper authorities, which will be done.
The record made at Park Field is
declared to be one of the most envi-
able Of any flying school in the coun-
try. and it is believed that this will
be a factor which will have weight
with the war department.

Surgeons agree that in cases of
cuts, burns, bruises and wounds, the
first treatment is most important.
When an efficient antiseptic is APP
piled promptly, there is no danger
of infection and the wound begins to
heal at once. For use on man or
beast, Borozone is the ideal antisep-
tic and healing agent. Buy it now
and be prepared for an emergency.

The Manassas Journal calls atten-
tion to the action of the state depart
ment of health which urges that IN
every community in Virginia, rural as
we'll as urban, there shall be carried
on intensive campaigns against dli
forms of preventable diseases.
AS is well-known, the surface
closet, unscreened against flies, IS a
menace to every family in a COM
munity. A well into which surface
water runs carrying deadly disease
germs may poison an entire neigh
borhood. A neglected pond of stag
nant water may breed a sufficient
host of anopheles mosquitoes to serve
as transmitters of malaria sufficient
to cause a whole community to have
malaria.
Heed should be taken to the above
warning in Alexandria at this time,
and every exertion made to keep OH
city healthy during the coming sum
mer. While there are sewers Oh
many of our streets, in large num-
Der of cases they have not been tap
ped by houseowners, and surface
drainage still exists, which is a
menace TO the entire community. As
was recently suggested by the Gazette
rac time has cone when the trunk
sewer on Royal street should not
stop between Franklin and jefferson,
but be continued to Hunting Creek.
