mothers and wives and sisters of the
American soldiers are responsible in
a large measure for the spirit of BRAY
cry that has already made the Ameri-
can forces victorious in every battle
they have entered. But the women of
America are now being given their
first opportunity to volunteer for ac-
tual service at the front.
The call for $4,000 volunteers for
the U. S. student nurse reserve is as
important as the measures that were
taken to raise the big army that was
needed. While the selective service
plan was wisely adopted as the best
method for raising an army, it is not
believed that any form of a draft will
be necessary to secure Il sufficient
number of women to organize the
great corps of nurses that will be
needed to attend the wounded ami
sick. 1t is believed that sufficient
number of volunteers will be secured.
Tennessee has been asked to furn-
ish 500 of the $4,000, and Maury

PEACE TER MS.

| Let Hudson Maxim write the peace
terms with Germany.
| The great inventor says there is
but one way to peace and that is the
way to Berlin.
Recent proposed peace terms sent
out by German diplomats through
neutral countries show some signs o.
| a willingness on the part of Germany
to make some concessions" to the
despicable allies. But Hudson Maxim
evidently hasn't read anything favor
able in them or he has some ideas
of his own about what constitutes rea-
sOnable peace terms with Germany,
| which, by the way, pretty accurately
define the opinion of the American
people.
my opinion is that we cannot con.
slider any terms of peace whatsoever
with the German government as now
constituted" writes Mr. Maxim to the
editor of the Manufacturers Record.
Germany must be licked, he says,
"and the Hohenzollerns kicked off the
throne before we can even talk peace
without outraging our self-respect"
So say we all. Mr.. Maxim, and We
hereby nominate you for member OF
the commission that will write the
treaty that will spell the doom of the
German military ring.
In his letter Mr.. Maxim sets forth
the following as his ideas about
peace:
1.-THE German military ring must
be broken and so shattered that It
can never be reunited. Those who
have been responsible for the rape Of
Belgium and France; those who have
been responsible for the neinous out
RACES upon the civilian populations
overridden by Germany; those who
have been responsible for breaking
the rules of war and using poisonous
gas in battle; those who have been r..
sponsible for torpedoing passenger
vessels and hospital ships, and for
dropping aerial bombs on shore hos
pitfalls; those who have been response
BILE for the killing and manning of
women and children in London and
Paris with aerial bombs; those who
have been responsible for breaking
the most sacred treaties and obliga-
tons of nations-have placed them
selves beyond the pale and cannot and
must not be bargained with in any
peace arrangement.
Those militaristic bandits of the
breed of Attilla who could -bloodedly
prepared to plumber the world and en-
slave mankind. and to that nefarious
end planned to violate every human
obligation and attribute of duty, mer-
ey and decency, are not fit to place
their names to a peace compact be-
side those of the heroes who shall.

A COLUMBIA INSTITUTION.

All that was said as arguments for
the location of the Middle Tennessee
Experiment station at Columbia is be-
ing realized and the dreams of those
progressive citizens and members of
the county court who worked so faith
fully to secure that institution for
this county will soon be crystalizea
into reality
The recent session of the Middle
Tennessee Farmers Institute in Co
lumbia was the first of many similar
gatherings of farmers that will grow
in size from year to year as the
benefits to be derived from such
meetings become more generally
known. The attendance will grow
each year, and in addition there will

ment in Middle Tennessee.
To realize the benefits of a state
experiment station to the section in
which it is located one has but to
travel through East Tennessee where
farming has advanced much more
rapidly than in Middle Tennessee for
the sole reason that the great expert
ment station at Knoxville has set
the pace. With natural advantages
that East Tennessee does not possess,
it should be matter of out a few
years before this division of the state
will overtake and Outstrip our neigh
bors in the east, since we now have
an experiment station that will be the
equal of any in the South.
The Middle Tennessee experiment
station will be Columbia institution
Of which all the farmers in this
division of the state will be proud.

GERMANS PESSiMISTIc.

and his puppet diplomats have been
talking about, will be convinced that
their cause, or the cause of their am
bilious emperor, is lost.
German newspapers, strictly cen
sOred as they are, have already given
signs that the news of the Franco
American victory between Scissors
and Rheims has reached the people,
and these organs of autocracy are lab
oring to bolster up the courage of the
suffering women and children at home
with false reports of the battle or
comments in which the success of the
allies Is minimiZed. But the sol
diers themselves know their cause is
lost and every time they come in con
tact with the fresh American troops
they will have that conviction more
deeply impressed upon them.
Recent German peace proposals
sent out unofficially through neutral
nations are not really peace pro-
posals, but are forms of propaganda
intended for the double purpose of
Turing the entente allies into a con-
versation in which some sort of peace
plan may be originated, and for home
distribution to stiffen the weakening

that their government has proposed

New Jersey Dentist First
to Fill Tooth With Gold

The first dentist to fill the nerve
cavity with gold was Edward Maynard,
who was born in Madison, N. j., 105
years ago. Maynard was also the in
ventor of many of the instruments
now used in dental surgery. He had a
varied career. His ambition was to be-
come a soldier, and he was appointed
to the West Point Military academy,
but resigned because of i'll health. In
1885 he graduated in dental surgery
and settled in Washington, where he
practiced for 55 years. While Doctor
Maynard was experimenting with i'm
proved filings for teeth, and inventing
new appliances, Doctor William L. G.
Morton, Boston dentist, robbed sur
gerry of much of it's horrors by intro
ducing the use of ether in operations.
This was in 1914, a few years after
the first dental college in America was
founded in Baltimore. Doctor May
nard was also the inventor Of the
breech-loading Maynard rife patented
in 1851, which was the forerunner Of
the modern rifle. He died in Washing
ton in 1891.

mandments," submitted by an Ohio
chapter, follow:
II. Thou shalt not evict for nonpay-
ment of rent a soldiers dependents,
under penalty of $4,000 fine.
SO. Thou shalt not cut off a soldiers
life insurance because of delayed pre-
miums.
SO. Thou shalt not foreclose a mort
gage on a soldiers property.
81. Thou shalt not take away a sol
dier's home on which he has made part
payment.
SO. Thou shalt not sell a soldiers
property because of his failure to pay
the taxes, national, state or local.
IS. Thou shalt not settle a lawsuit
against a soldier in his absence.
81. If soldier is sued, the courts
shall postpone action until he can at
tend to it.
'S. If soldier have q mine, timber
or farm claim, assessments on which
are overdue, it shall be held for him.
SO. Honor thy soldier and thy sailor
that thy days may be long.

that he offer his life for the worlds
sake, and it is commanded that law

Historic Forests Are Cut
Down to Supply the Many
Needs of Warning Nations

War, with it's greedy demands, is
fast sweeping away the carefully
tended forests of Europe. Even in
England, which has been protected by
it's fleet from invasion, the ak of the
woodman is making great changes in
the appearance of the landscape. Re-
ports say that the beautiful wood
lands, forests and groves that have
for centuries formed part of the
charm of rural England are disappear
ing.
1t is expected that by the middle OF
this summer the British government
will be converting trees into lumber
at the rate of 100000 tons per an
mum. The old, careful methods OF Eu-
rope, by which trees which had passed
their prime were selected and lnul-
vidually chopped down, leaving the
forest undisturbed, are being replaced
by style of numbering more familiar
here, says the Rochester Times-Union.
Canadian lumberjacks are swinging
their axes in the New Forest ana
many other historic tracts, cutting
wide swath in much the same fashion
as in the woods of British Columbia
or northern Ontario.
Over in France, American forestry
regiments are making similar sweep
through the woodlands. In Great Brlt-
ain replanting has followed the iuIn-
herman, but it will take a century
fully to cover the scars. In France
there has been no chance to pay at
tention to anything but getting what
was needed for the war.
With European forests thus lald low
we should be the more careful to see
that our own great resources are not
recklessly wasted, and should follow
the example of the older countries In
making even private owners guard for"
ests against fire loss.
