ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN.

Young men, we dare say, has a
wrong impression regarding their ef-
forts in evading the draft. The i'm
preston has gone forth that those
who have been able to successfully
evade the draft by different methods,
may return after the war and not be
prosecuted. This is not true. The
same penalties will be meted out to
this class after the war is over as is
being imposed upon them now. Al
record is being kept of all young men
in all communities, Their activities
are being noted, and while many may
thing that they have successfully
gotten out of the service, the time will
come when they will be called to ac-
count. The best policy for all young
men of draft age to pursue at this
tlme is 10 0ner their services to the
government. Especially is this true
of the thousands who have just be-
come eligible under the new law com
polling those who have become TWEEN
ty-one since the last registration.
They are afforded an opportunity now
to select their branch of service, en-
tering a regiment possibly made up
of young men of their acquaintance,
where if they wait until they are call
ed they will have to go wherever they
happen to be placed. Under the new
law all young men who have become
twenty-one since the last registration
have been called upon to register on
June 9Th. The registration for Greene,
county will take place in the Federal
court room, in Greeneyille. There will
be no other registration held in the
county.

ACUTE IRISH SITUATION.

It may be assumed BY ascribng to the British Govern
ment ordinary Intelligence the the wholesale arrest of
Sim Feiners the charge Of having had reasonable
dealings with Germany, is based tangible evidence
While there have been times when British charge of

moral character Of the oense concerned the specific
charge lodged against the Sim Feners cannot be mini
mizcd. There twenty-three nations, comprising
all civilized countries except those promoted BY prudence

THE NEXT DRIVE.

When the new German drive begins the kaiser will have
massed on the western front his whole available strength
The allies will have to meet in final struggle themighty
army of Germany massed as it has not been before and
strengthened with every and every gun that be
brought to the German front For German leaders know
that very soon million Americans will strengthen the al
lied lines and that then any drive that is made be
stopped The failure Of the last drive has weakened the
German morale and has discouraged the German people,
for they were told and they believed that this drive to
win the war for Germany and its failure has brought bit
ter grief to that country Every day Ne Germans delay
makes the work harder and gives added of
success of the allies. The German leaders know this and
the German people are learning it II is never
with Germany and knOwsc it better than does the
kaiser

a CARD FROM c. c. ARMITAcE.

Some two months ago / was APP
proached by one Of our good citizens
with the question whether or not l
would accept the nomination for
Mayor of our city in case it was ten
dered me. My reply was that l had
no idea / would be seriously consider
ed with that position, but that / was
not in he habit Of backing off from a
duty when it was imposed upon me.
Nothing more was asid to me about
the matter, except once or twice
which took as a jest, until, on my re-
turn from little trip few days ago,
/ found that while ] was out Of town.
a meeting of the citizens of the Sec
ond Ward had been called for the
purpose of nominating a citizens
ticket for Aldermen for that ward.
] found also that, in addition to the
nomination of two candidates for al
dermen, / received the unanimous en-
dorsement of the said meeting as a
candidate for mayor Of our city.
Since this time petitions have been
circulated throughout the First as
well as Second Of our city asking our
election commissioners that my name
be placed on the ticket as candidate
for mayor. These petitions have
been signed by such large and rep
resentative number of our citizens of
all parties, that | felt / could not af-
ford to ignore their request. That,
in fact, it would be an act Of base in
gratitude, as we'll as OF cowardice on
IN part, if should spurn their conf
dence and scorn the compliment thus
rendered me, by refusal to accept
it.
Accordingly, my fellow citizens, !
accept the honor you have conferred
on me and hereby announce that am
a candidate. for mayor of your city.
| promise you that, if elected, to this
position, shall do my best to serve
you acceptibly and to help you to
make Greeneville a better town.
In accepting this nomination, / do
SO with the kindest feeling toward
any and all who may oppose me.
If elected / shall endeavor to do
the will of the people. | ask your
support, not for myself, but only if |
you think the best interests of Greene
vile will be conserved by my cleo
ton.
If you find in circulation any re-
ports regarding my policies | ask that
you bring them to me for verifcation
or refutation.
Sincerely,
