AMERICAS ANSWER.

Announcement of the governments army programme completes the Am erican answer to Germany's "peace offensive" This and other develop ments of the day mean nothing less than a demand for Germany's uncon- ditional surrender, says the New York Herald's Washington Correspondent.
 Germany is now called upon to take her choice of lowing to the tremen- dous American military machine or being annihilated by it.
 The army programme means an American army of more than six mil | lion men. Behind them are millions more, so that the number of Ameri- cans in France never will grow less but always greater. | Quantity production has been reached not only in the merchant ma rine. It has been reached in the manufacture of ordnance. of subma- rine chasers, of destroyers, of every kind of war munition or agency.

UNITY OF
 COMMAND

The Entente Allies are reaping now the benefits and advantages of unity of military command on the western battle line. They present to the Ger mans a solid, unbroken front. not a series of disjointed units-able, brave and strong, but lacking the tremen- dous driving force of unity of action, of perfect cooperation.
 This unity of command necessar- fly requires some sacrifices of nation al pride, some concessions by some of the Allied nations. But how much are these overweighed by the benefits accruing. It hurts the Germans a hundred times more than it hurts any of the Allies.
 Unity of political command in the de- termtned front the United States shall present to the world at this crisis is hardly less important than unity of military command. Brave and able men, even though united in their gen eral aims, but of divided opinion and separate action, lack the power that comes from united action and unified command.
 Political differences should be bur led Not left to be buried in Con- gress by Senators and Representatives but buried by the people at homes The voters are the true undertakers fol this burial of partisanship-
 It may require the sacrifice to some extent of partisan pride to give this command to a man of another politi- cal party just as 1t requires the sac. rifice of some national pride on the part of the British, Italians and Amer icans to give the command of theil armies to general of another nation But patriotism, the good of the grea cause, in both instances require tn sacrifice

EDITH cAvELL NOT A SPY.


 ItSwas as the Spy CaveI" that the Germans always referred to the wo- man victim of their cold -blooded tyranny in Belgium, writes Brand Whitlock in Everybody's for Octo- Der. "But Miss Cavell was not charged with spying; she was not con victed or sentenced to death for spy ing. There was no evidence and no claim that she had been a spy. She was charged with having violated that paragraph of the German Military Penal Code which punished with death those who conducted troops to the enemy and it was on this charge that she was convicted.
 But as a matter of fact and as a matter of law, even this charge did not apply and was not sustained. Miss Cavell had not conducted any troops to the enemy; she had aided, in vari- ous charitable and humane ways, SOL dfers in individual cases, and boys who had as yet performed no military service and never worn a uniform, to escape out of Belgium and to cross the frontier into Holland where, as I neutral country, the soldiers would be, or should be, interned until the end of the war and the young men have the status of citizens of any other nation. There was indeed no proof that any of these soldiers or these Belgian boys had joined the enc my, singly or as troops except, it is said, in the case of one lad who wrote and mailed a postal card to thank Miss Caveu for the aid she had ren. dered him, and saying that he had go

FISH SHOULD BE
 STAPLE FOOD IS
 EXPERTS ADVICE


 "Fish should be considered as a protein food and classed with meats, " says an authority in the Journal of The American Medical Association. Z
 Tt is evident that fish, like meat, may contribute materially to the fat of the diet, particularly if the fatter >Srieties, (shad salmon, butterfish, nackerel and herring) are used.
 "The average co-effiicients of diges- ability of the fish fats were found to be as follows: Boston mackerel 95.2 per cent; butterfish 96.4 per cent; grayfish 94.3 per cent; and salmon 93.7 per cent.
 As these figures show the fats were we'll assimilated in the case of mack erel, grayfish and salmon, which, ac- .cording to the usual opinion are tc be regarded as fiat fishes" Consid- ering the experiments as whole, the very complete utilization of the pro- tein and fat supplied by the fishes studied offers additional evidence that fish Is a valuable food, and that it: extensive use in the dietary is espec ialIy desirable.

WHY ADVERTISED STORES SUCCEED
 OVER OTHERS

The Times will begin in about two weeks publication of a series of brief editorial under the above title. This subject is treated for two reasons. First, recognition is due from us to the splendid business enterprise of the many merchants who use our col umns to promote their business growth.
 These men are working not merely for their own profit, but they are helping to spread the idea all around the outlying country that Bridgeport Is good place to trade in. They de- serve our support as the newspaper that. profits by their business initia- tive. They deserve the backing of every citizen who admires wide awake enterprise and believes it profitable to the community to help it along. Not merely do they deserve support, but the people who trade with them find it advantageous and profitable to do so. Some of the reasons why this is so will be taken up in this little se- ries of talks.
 Also we beg permission very re- spectfully to solicit the interest in ad- l NSILiSlll6 Ol IiIOoS OL OuI who have never felt it necessary to use any newspaper space. We never wish to say anything disagreeable tC them or of them, and do not under take to understand their business any better than the owners thereof. Still we assume they will not mind if we present a few of the reasons out o1 our own expekience, and observation why we believe that a policy of judi cious advertising would help then and would tend to boost along the whole community in whose advance we all have an interest.
 We offer hearty thanks to the splen did merchants who have used oul
 space so generously in the past, an
 are confident it has been to their ad
 vantage, as we know it has been !;
 help to the whole town.

HYDRAULIC CARTRIDGES.

It is often difficult and sometimes dangerous to use ordinary explosives for mining and exeagRting in confined spaces, a fact that has led to the de- velopment of the hydraulic mining cartridge.
 The cartridge consists of steel cylinder containing numerous small pistons that move at right angles to the axis of the cyliader and expand when water is injected into them with 8 hand pump. Alter drilling deep enough hole the workmen insert the cylinder and then set to work at the hand pump.
 The tiny pistons expand until their free extremities bear against the mass of rock with constantly increasing force and the rock is gradually frac- tured under tremendous pressure. The operation, it is said, is not only cheaper than Ite ordinary blast but disintegrates larger area of rock.

TO COUNTY FUEL ADMINS
TRAITORS FOR TENNESSEE

am receiving letters from I'll oyel
The State, complaining about slow de.
liveries of coal. The following is the
situation:
Many of our people have needed
my urgent advice to lay in their coal
AS soon as possible. This, together
with the enormous amount of coal
required for the new wor industries
and the railroads, has given the
mines more orders than they can fill
Immediately.
The mines are fillinf these orders
in proper rotation as fast as possible.
1t will probably take 60 or 80 DAYS to
fill all the orders now on hand.
l will allow the mines or the deal
ers to fill orders whenever they can
get coal with which to fill them.
l suggest that the people who have
orders already placed keep in direct
touch with their dealers or mines.
and see to it that they are not over
looked when their time is reached.
The coal problem gets graver each
day. 1t is practically certain that
there will not be enough coal to sup
ply all of our needs next winter.
Therefore, urge your people who have
not placed their orders to place them
at once. They may not be able to
get the coal, but they will certainly
stand much better chance to get it if
ordered now rather than later.
Insist that your people practice
more economy in the use of coal
heat fewer rooms and burn wood
whenever possible. In other words.
let them as red-blooded American
citizens help you and me to handle
coal so as to aid in winning this war.
1t is their homes, and the fate of
their sons hang in the balance.
We must have enormous quantities
of coal for war or the Nation will
perish. Very truly yours,

THE INVADING SUBMARINE

Results of the operations OF Ger
man submarines in American waters
so far have not been especially fright
full. Some fifteen ships have been
sunk, all of them, with the probable
exception of one steamer, being small
coastwise vessels, while the number OF
lives lost is about twenty,
AS nearly as can be ascertained, six
submarines are lurking off the Allan
tic coast. They are the largest and
most powerful type of German U-boats
being from $50 to 800 feet in length
and carrying six-inch guns fore and
aft. 1t is not to be supposed that
Germany sent these hughe submarine
across the sea merely to make war on
small ships engaged in the coastal
trade. Possibly the attacks ON. these
vessels is only intended as a warning
to America as to what we may expect
If we persist in sending troops to
Germany.
Significant in this connection is the
fact that only nuarmed ships have
been attacked. Such vessels as have
been sunk can be sunk with guns car
ried by the submarines. Presumably
the Germans are conserving theii
torpedoes for bigger game-for Amer
lean transports and for the big ships
carrying food and supplies across tc
our soldiers and our Allies. It would
seem that the submarines would have
preferred to attack the bigger game
before announcing their presence off
the American coast, but the Huns en-
JOY being spectacular as well as saw
age in their war-making.
That the Germans have extended
their submarine warfare to our shores
may be due to the fact that American
waters have become safer than the
waters In which the u-boats have
been operating. And, again, there
may be something in the theory that

POLITICS In TENNESSEE

Although President Wilson has de.
clared that Politics is adjourned" il
appears that we are going to have
plenty of politics-and. factional poll
tics at them Tennessee this sum-
mer.
Senator John X. Shields, who is 8
candidate for reelection to the United
States Senate from Tennessee, now
has two competitors. Hon. Charles T.
Gates has been in the field for some
time, while Governor Tom c. Rye has
recently announced his candidacy.
And now that Governor Rye is in
the race, some of his friends are be-
ginning to recall that he has always
been loyal to the Democratic party,
while Senator Shields in 1910 support
ed Ben W. Hooper against the late
Senator Bob Taylor for Governor.
Possibly some of Senator Shieldss
friends may be tempted to retort that
il all Democrats had been as regular
as Governor Rye, former Governor
Patterson would have succeeded in his
vicious scheme to dominate the SUI
preme Court, the State judiciary
would be sunk in the mire of politics
today, and Tennessee would still bt
at the mercy of the powerful and cor
rupt political machine Mr.. Patterson
built up at Nashville.
1t looks as if there is to be fighting
over old ground and reopening OF
old sores. The most of us would wish
it otherwise. Nothing is to be gained
for the State or the country by such
a campaign, while ancient prejudices
may be revived to the hurt of the
State. Such questions as to how this
or that candidate for United States
Senator stood in the gubernational
contest OF eight years ago should not
enter into this campaign. Granting
the ability and honesty of the several
aspirants for the senatorship, the only

DIZZINESS is ANNOYING
As Many Johnson City People Know
Too Well

When the kidneys are weak or dis
ordering, they fall behind in filtering
the blood of poisons. AS these pois-
ons attack the nerves, the result is
felt in spells of vertigo, just as drum
kenness will make a man dizzy from
the poisoning of alcohol. Dizziness,
headache, backache and irregularity
of the kidney secretions are all signs
of weak or disordered kidneys and
should not be neglected. Use Doan's
Kidney Pills, the home-endorsed kid
ney remedy. Read this Johnson City
