THE PAN-GERMANIST UNION

Inexation of Turkey by the extension
of the Bagdad railway, with the re-
demption and colonization of Meso-
potama. other plans involved the sell
zure OF northeastern France
notably the port of Bologne and the
iron region of French Lorraine.
These plans were, in general. OPP
posed by the German government as
involving risks few prime ministers
would care to undertake. Hence the
necessity OF developing, from time to
time, a crisis. or ''stream of events"
which would leave him no choice
Brailsford asserts that it is the func-
tion of the prime minister to have his
hands forced" Amost every prime
minister since 1891 has had this ex-
perience at the hands of the Pan
Germanists. -
While the general scheme was of
the nature of a conspiracy, one could
hardly call it a "secret plot" as its
purposes were proclaimed from the
house tops" by retired officers and
by it's subsidized press. Its purposes,
some of which were above reproach,
were all vitiated by absolute reliance
on military force and financial cor
ruption for their accomplishment in
utter defiance of the rights or the
feelings of, the people, concerned The
'lust for annexation" was the avowed
movingsspiFit of the league. The ma
chnations of this group operating un-
der the shelter of dynastic power were
directly responsible for the attacks on
Serbia and Belgium, and therefore for
the inception Of the world war.

NASHVILLE, May 1l.-Whether Or

has been one of the big political ques-, ,
tons for months and il looks now as
II the answer will be answered in the
affirmative, probably some time next,
week. Close friends of Governor Rye,
being very positive in this opinion.
In spite of the absence Of thousands /
OF young Democrats who are in thea,
military service, political prognostica-
tors here believe the vote at Thea,
August primary will be larger ethan;
the usual state primary for the reason 4
that so many local elections will take
place the same day. Besides nominal.
ing a candidate for United States
senator, there will be a primary for
the nomination of governor, repre-
sentatives in congress. members of
the state general assembly, and rail
road commissioner. The two parties
will also elect state executive COM
mittees. The regular election on
August / also will be held for county
offices and all judicial positions.
Friends Of Gen. Charles T. Gates
have stamped as a myth the rumor
being circulated by his opponents that
he will withdraw from the race for
United States senator If Governor Rye
announces. He Is known to be In the,
race to the finish and will soon begin
an aggressive campaign for the nom-

MEETING SATURDAY WAS Sue
cEssFUL AND POINTS TOWARD
RENEWED INTEREST HERE.
BENEFIT TO the OWNER,
Hugh Lee Webster Elected President
and Porter Erwin Secretary--Ex-
pect to Enroll All Jersey Owners
and Dalrymen.

Jersey cattle breeders and dairy
men of Maury county organized Sat
urday for the promotion of this indus
try with the aim to restore this coun-
tvs position as premier producer of
the finest type of Jersey cattle. Hugh
Lee Webster was elected president of
the new organization, and Porter Err
win, secretary. Both of these Off
Gals have been long identified with
the Jersey cattle breeding interests
of the county are heartily concern
ed with promoting the welfare of this
industry, which can be made of
enormous value to the county.
The organization will be known as
the Maury County Dairymen's Asso-
citation, and any breeder of registered
or grade Jersey cattle or anyone u.s.
ing Jersey cattle in the dairy business
is eligible for membership. 1t was
ascertained that more than so persons
in Maury county are eligible and let
tiers are being written to each of
them with the intention of enrolling
all of them as members of the organi.
cation.
Mr.. Hutton, secretary of the state
dairymen's association, will be invited
to address an early meeting of the
local organization and other men
prominent in the Jersey breeding
business will be heard from time to
time.
The first work of the association
will be to secure complete outfit
with competent expert to make
tests Of the milk from Jersey cows
in Maury county, thus enabling the
members to ascertain whether they
are keeping ''boarders" and to estab-
lish the relative merits of each COW
being used. This will be work many
dollars to the owners. In this work
the state division of extension through
the Middle Tennessee Experiment sta
ton here will cooperate.
The meeting last Saturday was we'll
attended and the deepest interest
was manifested on the part of the
Jersey breeders and dairymen. For
the next meeting it is expected that
practically every man and woman in
the county who is interested in this
industry will be enrolled.

CUMBERLAND CHURCHES Z.
NOT TO Be DISTURBED
LOCAL MINISTER THINKS SU-
PREME COURT DECISION WILL
NOT CAUSE SEIZURES.

No effort will be made by congre-
cations of the Presbyterian church, T..
S "A, to take possession of church
property occupied by congregations of
Cumberland Presbyterians, legal
right recognized by the United States
supreme court in an opinion handed
down last Monday in the case involv-
ing the Missouri Valley college, a
Cumberland educational institution at
Marshall, Mo-, in the opinion of Dr.
S. d. Logan, pastor of the Garden
street Presbyterian church. DR.. Lo-
gan stated that so far as he knew
none of the Cumberland churches in
Tennessee now occupied by congrega-
tions of that faith would be taken
possession of by the Presbyterian
church, but that the supreme court de-
cision had established the right of
his church to such property and that
book houses, educational plants and
property OF that nature would be
taken over
Though the opinion decided pro
ceedings brought by the Presbyterian
| Church officials against a represent
alive of a section of the Cumberland
membership in Missouri only, it af-
| fects also Utilization arising from the
merger in Indiana. Illinois, Tonnes
see, Kentucky, Georgia, Arkansas,
California, Oklahoma and Iowa. Many
Cumberland Church members refused
to recognize the union. and contended
| that the consolidation was invalid, be.
cause the general assemblies and
synods had no right to vote such an
action, because the doctrines of the
two denominations differed, and be
cause no power existed in governing
bodies of the Cumberland Church to
transfer ownership Of local church
buildings and property. The same
contentious we're raised against the
transfer of the college.

A quarter of an ounce of freezone
