THE GERMAN BEATITUDES.

( 1t is not known whether the follow
ing creed was composed by German
OF by foreign student of German
ism. 1t has the ring of genuineness;
1T is not far-fetched or overdrawn.
The military masters of Germany
have acted upon this creed, and the
German army upon this creed, and
the German army, their disciples, has
lived up to it.
"Ye have heard how in olden times
it was said, Blessed are the meek, for
they shall inherit the earth; but l
say unto you, Blessed are the val
liant, for they shall make the earth
their throne And we have heard men
say, Blessed are the poor in spirit !;
but / say unto you. BLESSED are the
great in soul and the free in spirit,
for they shall enter into Valhalla.'
And We have heard men say, Blessed
are the peacemakers'; but / say unto
you, Blessed are the war makers, for
they shall be called, if not the chill
dren Of Jehovah, the children of
Odin, who is greater than Jehovah. /"

of the leading watermelon producing
counties of Tennessee. This year the
melon farmers prepared for the lar
gest crop ever before attempted in the
county on account of the location of
the army training camp at the Ten
nessee Polytechnic Institute in Cook

was doubled and the ground was pre-
pared with unusual care, the melon
