could get near him; he was such man every inch of him and such a true com rade. I was wounded just a few days before he was-consequently knew noth- ing of his death until sometime nfter- ward. I feel sure that none of his near and dear relatives could deplore his death more than his men, for all of us fairly worshipped him..
 'I can hardly wait until next Saturday for my division-the Rainbow division to come here" said Mir. Nolen, his darri eyes gleaming with pride. .'I don't see how on earth l am going to march with the wounded soldiers as they say we must: I just don't believe l will be able to restrain my feelings when I see my company-but I'll just have to join them and take my place with them. As platoon officer loved my men-I loved my com pany-and while there were some whose names I didn't know-I knew and loved every face!''
 Oh the pity of it aIl-the ruthless de- struction of our beautiful valiant young boys-by the horrible outlaw hlnd or Germany! When I come face to face with it, my blood boils my heart aches, and my whole being resents the fright fui havoc played by a nation whose love of power and ambition caused them to commit such dastardly crimes.
 But not so with our wounded boys; gen. tleness, kindness, and modesty character ize their every word and sentiment, and the vocational training which Uncle Sam is giving them is shown in it's most interesting form when one sees these boys at work and it proves beautiful and in- structive lesson to all, revealing that love- liness which is the creation of the aes thetic human spirit, that manifold and mutual service we oall-progress!

 MT. A. M. Bruce, vice president of the l college affably declares that these young | men now taking vocational training I are as fine a bunch of boys as he has 1 ever met.
 We've been training boys and girls | for the service for over two years,' said | MT. Bruce, lever since America declared war-and have never seen more intelli- gent, cleverer, lot of boys than this class
 which has come to take the vocational l training provided by the government" i "Of course the boys are nervous-many
 of them suffering intensely from shelf shock and gassing," MT. Bruce said, put
 their splendid spirit of optimism which ] they showed during the crucial moments of the war when they faced machine l gun and shrapnel, still remains Wlth l them and they never complain-never ind ] fault and none of them thinks he has done anything more than he should have | done for his country
 | But I must go back ard tell you about
 the boys themselves as I started to way l back wonder, beginning with Julius | Schneitzer whose name sounds as if he might be intensely and decidedly German, but who has not trace of Germany to l his q started to say credit but Will say what . really mean-to his discredit) This fine young fellow was riddled with l shrapnel-five times he was shot, hls l knee cap being shot entirely off and 1 twice he was wounded by machine-guns. | MT. Schneitzer was member of Con- pany G, ninth infantry second division, | this being the aame division that the l marines were in. He took part in the ] St. Mihiel drive and also at Chateau l Thierry; both of these drives he went l through without a scratch only to meet his Waterloo at Soissons when he was loulleted by a machines gun through his left knee.
 Clarence c. Watts was in the navy he is another splendid exponent of Amer ica's fine spirit and courage; he was or the torpedo boat George Washington which chased a fleet of submarines miles off the coast of Cape May when the at tack was made some months ago by these German vessels; he suffered terrible at tack of pneumonia and was operated or several times which completely disa blec him.

 Lieutenant Everett Shepherd was wounded in the hips, machine guns pierc- ing clear through both hips; he received his wounds in the Argonne drive where he had remarkable experiences in the big battle.
 Edwin Nolen is splendid young fel- low-blacl-haired, swarthy- -skinned-just a boy-a fine young man; so young and so promising. He went out with the troops early in 1916, with the Rainbow division and fought the good fight through the 1 battles of Champagne, Lorraine, and ChateauThierry. His right hand is gone j-the result of a terrific wound he received ] in the Chateau-Thierry drive.

 Love of country, which, like some little secret lamp, glows in every heart, hardly to be seen of our eyes when the world IS al peace-loyal to our fathers deeds and our fathers hopes; the clutch and kiss of motherland-this love sent our soldiers and sailors forth to the long endurance, to the doing of such deeds, and the bear

NATIONWIDE POLITICAL
BATTLE TO BEGIN JAN. |

When the Democratic leaders meet
in Washington on the Sth Of January,
the anniversary Of the battle Of New
Orleans, and the National committee
fixes the date Of the national Demo-
cratic convention, right there and then
will begin what is predicted is going
to be one Of the greatest political bat
ties in the history Of this republic.
Representative speakers will deliver
a broadside. which will be the signal
to the Republicans that the battle is
accepted.
The Republicans have fixed the
city of Chicago as the place and the
Sth Of next June as the time for their
national convention before which
there seem to be more candidates for
the presidency than in any previous
race. What the issues will be yet re-
mains undeveloped but they will come
all right and on them the fight will be
made-one probably being the private
or public ownership of railroads. Al
should want an open fight and above
board fight and no submarine war
. fare.

BERGER, THE SOCIALIST
REELECTED TO CONGRESS-

Victor L. Berger, the Milwaukee
Socialist, who has been refused seat
in the Congress of the United States,
was last Friday again elected to the
House, from the 9Th Wisconsin dis
trict, defeating a Republican, who
ran as fusion candidate, by 4,806
votes. If Berger is again refused a
seat in Congress, that district will nor
be represented in that body until after
the regular election in 1920-as stat
ed by Governor Philip, who says Il
do not believe in spending any more
the peoples money in that way" Ber-
ger said his election was opposed by
the entire capitalistic class of Milwau-
kee, Wisconsin and the country and
his election is the first sign of the re-
awakening of real Democracy in this
country-which statement is believed
by the Socialists. 1t can also be said
that the anarchists, the "Reds" the
"Rads' the Syndicalists ct al also vot-
ed for Berger.

CUMMINS RAILROAD
BILL PASSES SENATE.

The Cummins bill which provides
for the return of the railroads to pri-
vate operation, passed the Senate last
Saturday and went through without
the anti-strike feature being changed.
Unless vetoed by the President, con-
sgressicnai leaders are working to the
end that the roads be returned to
their owners BY January sOth, but the.
railroad administration has plans for
their return January list, at which
time The Senate and House bills will
be in conference and Congress in Re-
cess and that will be the date set by
the President for the roads to be re-
turned to their private owners. There
will likely be compromise on the an
ti-strike feature of the Cummins bill.
for this is the point on which organ
lied labor will fight to the last ditch
and it is our prediction that such a
law could not and would not deter the
men from striking. We will just have
to wait and see the grand finale of
the matter-and in the meantime, it
will pay all to stay at home as much
as possible and to ride on the roads as
little as we can get along with.

WE WERE HONORED
AND DIDN'T KNOW IT.

The Progress editor has been hon
ored and did not know it, until by
chance, he had noticed that he had
been made director in West Tennes-
see and the Eighth Congressional Dis
trict, (along with former Gov. Tom C.
Rye, of Paris, Col. r. S. Fletcher, DR..
Jere Crook, Hon. Tom C. Long, of
Jackson, Hon. J. T. Peeler, of Hunt
ingdon, and Bill X. Abernathy, of Sell
mer) as a director of that very wor-
thy institution in Nashville, known as
the Tennessee Children's Home,
which has for its superintendent Mrs.
Claude d. Sullivan, whom we have
known since, as Miss Mary Edwards,
she lived in Centerville. Mrs. Sulli-
vans personal acquaintance with us,
coupled with her knowledge that we
love babies, counts for the honor be-
ing bestowed upon us--and it is an
honor which we appreciate. Having
been a home man, who, in a sense,
has babies at his disposal, it does
seem that some of our local, babylcss
couples might call on us and negotiate
for tot-without which no home can
be as happy as with one.
By the way, the Baby Home
is calling for help. If you can not or
will not take baby, suppose you drop
around and make a contribution for
the benefit of the fatherless, mother
less little ones, for whom Mrs. Sulli-
van is caring until she can find homes
and hearts to shelter them. This APP
peal is made alike to the people in
town and country while money is
flush and so cheap that you should
not mind giving away some of it to SO
good cause. "Inasmuch as We did it
unto the least Of these, my brethren,
We did it unto me-"
