Tenn. Quota, For End
Draft 1911 Men.

The 1871 men mentioned in the
telegram from Washington to Major
Rutledge Smith, chairman of the
State Council of Defense, Friday,
represents the gross quota allotted
to Tennessee under the second draft,
which call is based upon the popL-
lation with credit for enlistmeLts
from July /, 1917, to March 81,
1918, in the same manner as the
first draft which was made last fail.
After deducting army enlistments,
the net quota for Tennessee under
the second draft is 1924. A call
for 4,l30 white men to apply on this
new net quota has been made, these
men to be entrained for Camp Pike,
Arkansas, during the fve-day per.

give and they are going to be ex-
pected to come up to the expecta-
tons. In the drive Of last June
men gave $4,000 who ought to
have made it $25O.OO and this May
campaign will be the time for them
to losen up. Last June Lexington
had but ONE MAN who gave a
HUNDRED DOLLARS (God bless
him) what will this May show?
The man who bought bonds show
ed his business sense-those who
give to the Red Cross will show their
hearts and souls, their principle as
American citizens. The county peo-
pie are urged to get ready for the
great drive which begins on Mon.
day, May 10th and closes on Mon.
day, May 9th. They must not
only give with fair liberality, but
they must help induce Others to
give. There is no visible line be-
tween any of the different parts
of Henderson county. All are alike
concerned and all alike must give
the money. GET READY.

British Lose Quar-
ter Million Men.

Washington. May British loss
es in men killed, wounded, cap,ur-
ed and missing on the Western
front since the German offensive be-
gan March q are estimated by the
British hiiitary mission here at
nearly 250,000.
This estimate would appear to be
in remarkable contrast to the enor-
nous German losses in the drive.
The German War Office, of course,
has not disclosed what its losses in
the great battle have been, but the
estimates of Allied observers have
placed them at staggering figure.
From the very nature of the fight
ing, military experts have pointed
out, the losses of the attackers
were bound to be heavier than those
of defenders, but in addition to that,
the method of German attack, ad-
vancing troops faster than machine
guE5 could NOW them down, must,
military experts say, have entailed
enormous losses.
An inkling of how serious the
German losses are came some time
ago when it was reported that the
German military chiefs dared not
disclose their extent to the German
people, and therefore, were sending
their wounded to Belgium. Other
reports have told of railway gate
ways being choaked with trains of
wounded, while the dispatches of
correspondents at the front have
told how the battIefeIds were car
peted with gray-clad bodies.

Every Town Can
Abolish LOaferS,


New York State will soon have
an antiloafing law, and under this
law those who refuse employment
will be compelled to 90 to work at
jobs Of their own selection, or at
work selected for them by the state.
A similar law would work we'll in
other states besides New York. In
every city in the country especial
ly there are idlers and loafers who
ought to be at work doing some
thing to support themselves, and to
contribute to the support of those
who are fighting for them in the
field Memphis News Scimitar.
You bet. And every town and
even the country districts have
their loafers for a man who fools
away his time IS a loafer to some
extent. The country has too many
idlers to visit the towns and every
town has more than its share OF
non productive men. All able.
bodied boys, men and women should
work-and work every day. The
nol-xorker, the idler, the time kill.

A Preacher Who
Talks Right Way

Rev. H. P. Hurt, Pastor of the Un-
ion Avenue Baptist Church, Mem
phis, talks as a man should on the
subject of a mans Christian duty in
connection with the war In a re-
cent sermon Mr.. Hurt said:
Some people think that Chris
tian foTtitude means that you are
to act like a coward. They think
to crouch like cur is humility,
that you may be kicked and spit
upon and yet you must not lift your
hand in resistance or protest,
The doctrine of the other cheek
is misunderstood. 1t means that
you had better suffer wrong than to
do the other fellow an injustice
yourself Christianity stands for
the protection and preparation OF
the great principles of truth, justice
and freedom.
Jesus did not not mean when
you were fighting evil that you
we're to turn the other cheek. When
He cleansed the temple He caused
quite a sensation as He overturned
tables and drove out the thieves
from His Fathers house.

SAVIOURS
BY ANGELA MORGAN

Yours is the daring skill to tread
The waters Of world at war;
Yours is the miracle to shed
Where rocking seas of hatred are,
Courage and comfort, like star.
You cry unto an earth dismayed,
And God Is thrilling in your tones,
brothers, the ship is not alone; =,
Be not afraid!"
Ye are the Christs Of this black hour,
The Great Physician coma again,
Within your sacred hands the power
To heal the race of men.
Ye hold the hurt world to your breast;
Ye bind her bruised and broken soul;
The sick, the manned and the oppressed
Yours is the gift to make them whole.
And where the stricken miles unrol
Ye sound the resurrection morn;
Above the bier where Justice lies,
With visions of an age new born,
Ye bid the dead arise!
o World, that walkest now in tears
Where Truth again is crucified
After the thousand, thousand years
See yet that Christ is not denied,
