Putnam County Boy Killed In
NO-Man's Land--Six Dead
Germans by His Side.

Cookeville, Tenn, June 10
Sam Lafever of the Eighth civil
district of Putnam county IS
the first soldier of this county to
be killed in France.
The report of the details of his
death, received by letter by his
parents, states that he was a
member of a small raiding party
which started across No Mans
Land. He failed to return and his
brother and some of his comrades
went into No Mans Land in
search of him. They found him
dead, with his empty pistol in his
hand, his body riddled with bull
cts, and around him and within
twelve feet of his body lay the
dead bodies of six Germans whom
he had killed in the death strug-
gle in which he had been engag'
ed. The brother who found the
body left last fall, with one OF
the county's quotas of drafted
men.
The people of this county have
been stirred on account of the IN
formation received relative tt
the heroic death of this brave
young soldier. He was reared
in the Eighth civil district Of
Putnam county where his par
ents now live. He was with
General Pershing in Mexico ant
was a member of the first Amer
lean Expeditionary Force which
went to France.
A movement is on foot in thu
county to arrange for a perman
ent memorial in honor of tn
memory of this gallant soldier

Hull.
There is that modest man,
Cordell Hull of Tennessee. By
many he is regarded as the most
valuable man in congress to-day.
He has made a special study OF
the question of taxation, and
possibly he knows more about
the income tax than any of them.
He is saturated with the philoso.
ply of it, and he remains in con.

U. s. DESTROYER
SHAW RAMMED
AND CUT IN TWO
Fifteen Drowned or Burned to
Death After Collision; rs
Survivors Arrive in
New York..

New York, Nov. l5-In the col.
lision between the United States de-
stroyer Shaw and the British liner
Aquitania in European waters o.
tober 9, as announced by the Navy
department two days later, the naval
vessel was cut squarely in two, IS
feet aft of the bow, and the for
ward section sank Immediately, the
other section catching fire, it was
learned here today with the arrival
OF the Aquitania, carrying rs sur
vivors of the Shaw.
Other destroyers rushed to the
scene and when they took the burn
ing section in tow the thrush of wa
ter quenched the flames. The Navy
departments announcement said Is
lives were lost.
The survivors on the Melita, a
Canadian Pacific line steamship, said
the Shaw was one of number of
cestroyers conveying big fleet car
rying American troops to an Eng
lish port.
The fleet was steaming on a zig
gag course. At 5,45 a. m. the steer
ing gear of the Shaw jammed while
she was running at 35-knot speed
and the destroyer failed to answer
her helm. Her course was directly
across the bow of the on-coming
Aquitania, a unit ind the fleet. The
Aquitania's bow struck the Shaw
like a monster knife, the survivors
said, passing through her just for
ward of the bridge and not seeming
to lose any Roadway. k.s-
The forward part of the Shaw, in
which some of the crew were asleep,
remained afloat 20 minutes. Some of
the men jumped overheard and were
picked up uninjured.
In the collision one of the Shaw's
oil tanks was penetrated and the aft
section of the destroyer burst into
flames below deck under the bridge.
Some of those who persisted, in
GLIDING one of the officers, were
burned to death and others were
drowned when the forward part
sank. 49,. ~ -
The aft section was towed into
port, where 26 of the men, suffering
with burns and from immersion,
were removed to a hospital. .y

EARLY DATE SET
FOR OPENING OF
PEACE MEETING
Continued From Page One.)


Carnegie Endowment for universal
peace, and also participant in the
last conference at The Hague, is
believed to be under consideration
as secretary for the American CON-
mission. There will, of course, be
at least two assistant secretaries
and a considerable number of at
taches and clerks.
If congress is to be represented
on the commission as was the case
at the Paris conference of 1898,
when peace treaties between the
United States and Spain were
drawn, the fact has not yet been
developed. On the contrary, it
was said that there is decided
Discrimination to involve the legis-
lative branch of the government in
any way in the work of construct
ing treaties, which is regarded as
a purely executive function under
the terms of the constitution. 1t
also was today recalled that the
senate itself, not many years ago,
recorded its formal objection to the
appointment by the president of
any of its members as commission
ers to negotiate agreements which
must afterwards come before it for
approval.
Notice has been taken by officials
here OF the demand by certain
socialistic elements, not only in
Europe but in America, to have
labor to participate in the peace
congress. Officials were understood
to hold that to recognize labor in
this way would be to establish
class distinctions, which would be
thoroughly un-American. On the
other hand it was said that by the
appointment to the peace commits
sion of man such as Justice
Brandeis, for instance, known to
be an ardent friend and champion
of labor at all times, the interests of
the working classes would be sure
of conservation.
1t was made plain today that the
selection of Secretary Lansing to
head the American commission is
not to be taken as an indication of
his purpose to resign his present
Office. In his absence Counsellor
Frank L. Polk is expected to act as
secretary of state.
Begin Informal Discussions.
Paris, Nov. l5.-(By Associated
Press. )-Meetings Of representa-
tives of the associated governments
today will be largely in
formal, consisting chiefly of confer
ences of foreign ministers, rather
than OF premiers, with a view to
reaching a common underestimate e
on international questions and def
initely arranging the program of the
peace congress.
One of the first conferences held
today was at the residence of COL
onel House, the head of the Amer
can delegation, where Foreign Min
lister Sonnino of Italy spent some
time. 1t was expected that Foreign
Secretary Balfour of Great Britain
would arrive later. |

Pogrom Reported to Have
Taken Place at Warsaw

London, Nov. ls.-The British
foreign Office has issued a state
ment, saying:
Reports of a pogrom at Warsaw
have reached the government.
Should these reports prove true, it
would point to a serious situation
because forces of violence and dis
order already threatening the life
OF every population between the
Kline and the Volga would be en-
couraged."
The statement points out that the
allies and United States are ready
to lend their whole resources to the
task OF restoring the economic basis
OF orderly civilized life in those
countries and are showing by their
acts that they desire order and civ
lilZdllOIl.

Power Of Premier
Lloyd George Coming
to Test in Britain

London, Nov. 15.-The Issue in
the coming elections is whether the
country will endorse Lloyd
Georges proposal that the present
coalition government, with himself
as premier, shall be continued after
the war for the work OF making
peace and carrying on the labor OF
reconstruction.
The electoral reform bill adopted
by Parliament during the summer OF
1917 virtually doubled the number OF
voters. 1t gave the ballot to all
women over 80, men over 81 and
soldiers under 81. This added 6,0O0,-
600 females and 100000 males to
the voting lists. How the women
will vote and what parties the SOL
diers will support none can predict.
