ingstun and Parker's Creek, up

From rumors ahoat there has
been more or less confusion in
the public mind relative to the

ment at the opening of the meet

mated what is known as the

plication for Federal aid TO be
used, in connection with other
funds, in the construction of the

and rec mmend to the Federal
authorities, that this route be
followed" Before sucl, accep-
lance it will be necessary to gain
the consent of postal or Agri-
cultural (road) Department to
designate or create this route
as a post road. Mr.. Wiley
pointed out to interested parties
how he thought best to proceed
in the matter and the said parties
Immediately put a movement on
foot and promised to carry it
forward. The road Comu,iss;ou--

CHRISTMAS TOKENS TO BE BAR.
RED IN FRANCE

. Christmas packages for the boys in
the trenches probably will be barred
by the War and Postofice Depart
ments.
Although no formal ruling has yet
been made, indications are that in
the near future an official order will
be issued, telling of the conditions
that have led up to this decision. 1t
was made plain by officials that both
departments are anxious to devise
some means by which relatives and
friends of soldiers in France may send
them Yuletide packages and said it
would depend entirely upon mail
and shipping conditions prevailing
during the few weeks preceding the
holiday season. At the same time,
however, they held out little hope
that it would be possible to change
the tentative decision that the boys
will have to forego substantial re-
membranes from home.
1t was pointed out that last year
little success attended the Christmas
program, so far as the sending of par
GELS to the overseas forces was con
cerned. Thousands of these packages
went astray through various combi-
nations, but chiefly because of the
congestion of the mails and lack OF
shipping facilities. Also, many gifts
of foodstuffs spoiled en- route.

GERMAN SPORT: KILLING DOC
TORS.

In this war the wounded are not
objects of pity to the enemy, but flu
ture fighting men; doctors and nurs-
es are no longer ministers of mercy,
but conservers of the battle strength
of the enemy.
The German General Staff, with
that strange, remorseless, inhuman
logic which has made the German
psychology a puzzle and horror to
the civilized world, has refused to
recognize the age-old immunities OF
the profession of the art of healing,
and has announced that one doctor
is to be regarded as the equivalent
of 500 soldiers, and one stretcher-
bearer as the equal Of eight, and
have instructed their gunners, snip
ers and airmen to "f1re one warning
shot and then vigorously engage
them at once. DIR. Woods Hutch

Shelbyville Reduces Food Deliveries

Acting under instructions from the county
food administrator, dealers in groceries, meats
and foodstuffs in Shelbyville have cut down their
deliveries to two day. The deliveries will be
made in the morning.
A conference of food dealers and women
showed that as high as eight deliveries were
made daily to all parts of the city, mourning a
heavy expense and an unnecessary burden. Both
dealers and patrons said they were glad to abide
by the ruling and indicated their patriotic pleas
ure over the agreement
That the delivery system has ceased being
service" and has become an expensive burden"
has been admitted by merchants for the last two
years. They pointed out when the cost of food
scared skyward that one element in the cost was
the delivery system. Many of them said they
would be glad to curtail the delivery system and
let their patrons share in the economies that
would result, but failure of all dealers to enter
into an agreement voluntarily to abolish the sys-
tenn kept it agoing.
The war crisis has solved the problem in Shell
byville. 1t seems that both parties to the system
have accepted the result in good grace and be-
lieve that it is to their mutual advantage.
