of the county have great occasion
to take pride in this accomplishment,
and in the standing of the county.
l want to take this opportunity to
thank the chairmen of the various
civil districts of the county, who
have so ably looked after the War
Savings campaign in their respective
civil districts. / also wish to thank
each member of the district commit
tee, as we'll as the schoolhouse COM
mittees in the various districts of
the county. The successful termina-
ton of the War Savings campaign in
Obion County is due to the patriotic
and untiring efforts made by the
various committeeman thruout the
county, and to the patriotic response
of our citizens generally. Without
the hearty cooperation of the vari-
Gus committeeman, it would have
been impossible to have accomplished
the task set before us.
Obion County is the only county
in West Tennessee that appears in
the first twelve counties of the State
in the cash sales made up to Septem-
Der /, and this is indeed matter
about which every citizen of our
county should be justly proud.
Below is report showing the
amounts subscribed for War Savings
Stamps in the various districts of
the county up to Sept. 25, making
a total of $603,168. There has been
sold thru the banks and postoffice
at Union City, and thru the post
Office at Fulton and Hickman, KY,
more than $4,000 worth of stamps
at maturity value, of which we have
no record, but which brings the
total sales and pledges of the county
over the $623,0O0 mark.

Fifth Liberty Loan.

Secretary McAdoo has announced
that arrangements are now being
made to float the Fifth Liberty
bond issue. He is not ready to an
nounce the amount of this issue or
the date of the opening of the cam
paign, but the indications are it
will be early in the spring. Regard.
less as to whether peace comes in
the mean time the sale will 20 on
and Secretary McAdoo thinks it
quite probable there will be sixth
issue. The great expense will not
stop with the ending of the war. The
soldiers must be maintained in
France until they are brought bac k
and the rehabilitation of the arm y
is about as expensive as the mobili.
cation. Getting into war is a big
proposition and so is getting out of it.

Now For GERMANY.

The terms of the armistice under
which Austria-Hungary is permit.
ted to withdraw from the war are a
guarantee that every military OBJ
ject of the war will be won.
Every foot of territory wrongfully
held by the Central Powers will be
restored and Germany will be strip
ped of the power to fight as Austria
has been stripped. The terms upon
which unredeelned Italy was re-
deemed will be the terms upon
which the lost Province of France
will be recovered. There will be no
peace-table argument about it.
These conclusions are inevitable,
because Austria's surrender opens
the way to Germany over Austrian
territory and because all of the
armies not in France are now free
to smash in the back door of Ger
many. They are inevitable, also,
because there is no reason, either
in prudence or justice, why the Ger
man Empire should receive any bet.
ter treatment than Austria has re.
ceived. There is, in fact, good
reason for making the terms to
Germany harder than the terms to
Austria are. Austria was the tool
of Germany and has become the
victim of German ambition.
The Germans know that this is
the belief of the world at large. and
they know through the terms grant
ed to Austria what terms they may
expect to receive
1t is bitter knowledge for them,
but they will school themselves to
it and the final cry of "Kamerad"
will soon be heard.
Out of the trenches by Christ
mas" is no longer the watchword of

than four years of the bloodieSt
