est young men entrained this morning
at 1910 o'clock for Camp Shelby, Hat
tiesburg, Miss, where they will spend
period of preparation for the con.
flict with the Hun in the war for world
wide freedom and democracy.
This was the first increment Of
Maury countians to be sent to Camp
Shelby, but it is safe assertion that
no finer lot of men has ever gone to
that camp TO rtraining than the SOL
diers who will represent Maury coun-
ty.
Before going to the station in
train of automobiles the men Assem-.
bled on the west side of the court
house lawn where they were address
ed by DR.. II. A. Cant OF the Local
Board, who has personally given
every selectman from Maury county
fervent message of advice and en-
enlargement before departing for the
great adventure of war. DR.. Cant was
never more in earnest than he was
this morning when, after clearly set
ting forth the duties of a soldier and
what is expected of the American
army, he declared that the country
does not expect the young men to do
all the fighting, but that the older
men and the women of the land must
do their part here at home in support
of the men in the field.
A large crowd had assembled at the
station to shout and wave farewell to
the men.
Ernest Giddens was placed in com
mand of the increment, and the two
squad leaders were Mumford Smith,
Jr, and John William Gidcombe. 9th

RIFlcE DESCRIBED BY SPEAK.
Err LAST NIGHT.
DR.. F. N. MASSEY IS SPEAKER
Urges All Men Not in Draft Age to
Enlist in This Service and Help Men
to Come Back Stronger Mentally
and Morally.

Deeds of herois mand self sacrifice
by Y. NJ G. A. workers in the army
and something of the comfort that
the "Y" organization is to the men in
camp was told Thursday by Dr. F. NJ.
Massey of Pulaski, state recruiting
officer, in an inspiring address before
of group of Maury county men.
Declaring that IS per cent of the
men who registered in 1917 in Ten.
nessee were illiterate. totally unable
to read or write, DR.. Massey said that
the Y. M. c. A. has taken a vow, reg.
istered in heaven, that not one of
them shall return from the war with
out that knowledge.
Discussing the need for men, DR..
Massey said that 4,0U0 men had been
called for during the present three
months period, 5000 would be called
during the next three months period,
and that the number would increase
with the ever expanding army. He
urged upon every man not in the
draft age who can possibly go to en-
list in this service.
The course of selectman from the
time he leaves his home until he ar
rives in France, all of his emotions
and sentiments, his inconsistencies and
his WEAKNESS of the monotony of
army life, was described, with the
happy thought that the Y M. c. A. is
with him all the time to cneer him
and to give him comfort even in the
trenches and out on No Mans Land.
DR.. Massey said that only men Of
sound physique, good morals, and with
firm grip upon the fundamental
principals of God would be accepted
for Y. M. c. A. religious and educa-
tional work, Many men, he said, fail
to give themselves credit for being as
good Christians as they really are, but
upon examination are found to be the
highest type of Christian men.
No volunteers for enlistment were
called for last night, the meeting be-
ing for inspiration and instruction,
but several men in the assemblage
were known to have already filed
their applications for enlistment or
are considering it.

He urged upon the people to take all
the packages with them that they can
possibly carry, in order to eliminate
deliveries as much as possible.

as much taking of packages as there

RIVALS IN MAGNIFlCENCE

1t was said some years ago that when the Civil val
was over no power on earth could restrain the fury of
the non-combatants The lineal descendants OF the pest
bellum fire-eaters Of fifty years ago are finding fault
with the manner in which the soldiers Of this or the
other nation are performing their work. Some Of them
are partisans of the French and score the British for
retreating before the Hun. Others can see no good in
anything but Britain, and maintain that the French have
not held up their end. The American troops have not
yet participated in large force in the field activities, but
presently we will be told-peraaps in whisper-of the
abject failure Of the American troops.
The fact is that no ground exists for finding fault
with any of the forces engaged, and there is among those
forces only q rivalry in the nagnificence with which
they perform their work. The British covered them
selves with glory at Mons in the early days Of the war.
and the French later at the Marine and at yerdun. Still
later the British. with augmented numbers, fought glor-
iously on many a bloody field in Flanders and Picardy.
And In the recent battles British, French and Americans
have taken their turn at the work Of holding back the
Hun. and have yielded ground only when to hold it
would have meant humiliation.

FALSlFYlNG LINCOLN

Nothing Il sacred to those Who Wish to play Of class
AGAINST class in order to achieve ssms ssneat for them
selves Heaee 1t is quite IN keeping With ths praeue. Of
the Townley' publicity bureau that q Towniey publica-
ton should falstfy a'apotation frona ldneelA.
Just how this was Asne Is shown elsewhere In this
issue IN the publication in parallel columns Of what ppr-
ports to be . quotation from Lincoln which was pub
itshed in . recent Issue Of the Minnesota Leader, the
odicial Townley organ in Minnesota, and the correct text
OF the Lincoln paragraph a. 1t was actually written Ay
the great civil war president.
The purpose Of the distortion IL plain. Because
there are in Minnesota great cities with q large indus
trial population WHICH, II it can be utilized. can be made
a useful political asset, Mr.. Townley ana his fellow 30
cialists have in that state made 9 strong bid for the SUP.
port OF tho labor organizations. Their method is exact
ly that which has been employed II, North Dakota to
enlist the support Of tho farmer. First there is the APP
peal to class consciousness. Those engaged in . given
occupation are urged to believe that they constitute a
separate group in the great community, a group vita In
Second. there Is the effort to create in the minds Of those
approached a feeling Of antasoniam toward other classes
and to inculcate the belief that other groups in the coa-
munity are at war with that which is approached Then,
attention Is directed to "the way out" In each Mr..
Townley and his associates are held up as the defenders
OF the interests Of the class to which the appeal is made.
Mark the application in the present case. The words
useo as a Lincoln quotation would lead to the conclusion
that Lincoln considered the worktngmen a people apart.
sharing but remotely in the affairs and interests Of the
nation, and the words may be used, and doubtless have
been used, in attempted justification Of the EFFORTS which
have been made to. grouse class hostility. g
Read the parasTa3h entire and it will be seen that
Ldncoln's thought was absolutely the opposite to that
which Is sought to be convened. He makes an appea,
to those whom he addresses, for what: For support Of
the national cause, and ne declares that they have q
vital interest in the right solution of the problem which
then foremost in the consideration Of the nation. that Of
national unity. In other words. he appeals to them on
the common ground Of American citizenship.
In the concluding sentences Of the paragraph he IL
still moro specific. He points out that the promotion
Of the interests Of the working man must not lead to a
war upon property or. those who have property; that
property is good: that, the working mon themselves are
striving for its possession: and that to make war upon it
is to impair the security Of the foundations upon which
their own prosperity must rest.
It would be difficult to nnd q more gross fs}}daea ton
Of the spirit of a great man than Is shown in this pub
lication by the Townley paper.
