WHEN THE HUNS QUIT

The attempt of officers of the German High Seas fleet to make q suicidal sortie against the British Grand fleet before the armistice was signed is charteriZed by the Berlin Vorwaerts as "the latest devilish crime again the German people that sealed the doom of the Pan-Germans." Refusal of the sail ors to go out and fight is regarded as the first step toward the Ger man revolution. This mutiny is de scribed by the Vorwaerts as "an act of self-defense by 80,00O men against the vllanous Pan-German plan.
 "To understand the position,' v continues the newspapers "it is necessary to go back to the feverish propaganda by the Pan-Germans at the end of October for a so-called natioal fight of despair To save their necks they conceived the idea of batting the people into a for lorn hope which could only end in complete ermination, The death of the doomed eighty thousand did not concern these maniacs in whose reckoning human blood never count ed Their notion of military honor was that the whole people should suffer themselves to be butchered rather than undergo the shame of defeat
 With their minds steeped in the worship of might they had no ink ling of the revolutionary currents among the men. They still i'm agined that iron discipline was paramount. Their fiendish plan was to send out the ships to be sac rificed to the last ship. The news spread like wildfire.
 At the last stage of the war are We all to be killed?' they asked.
 "The officers harangued, cajoled. in vain. Three times the order was given. It was difficult position for men with no backing but their feelings of solidarity. A thousand were imprisoned at Wlhelmshaven The choice between freedom and imprisonment was not difficult. It was revolution. It was the irony of fate that the Pan-Germans, with what was to be their last desperate blow. should themselves have started the conflagration. It was this last, devilish crime against the German people that sealed their doom."

Where is the coldest place on earth? Many persons would say the North Pole. but scientists have said that the mercury does not drop as low in the vicinity of the Pole as it does in other places. In fact, Nansen and other explorers have said that 45 to 50 below is cold weather for the 18th to 80th parallel. Birches, Alaska, however, has several times hit the ST and 8S mark and is believed to be the cold est spot in the territory, if not in the world.

A. S. Mex ENNEY

The entire community around Lake
Weir has been suddenly called upon
to mourn the passing of A. ), NC
Kenney Of Stanton, who for thirty
three years has lived in their midst
and enjoyed their respect.
Mr.. Mckinney came as young
man from Monroe county, Ga, to
Stanton, where for some years he
conducted successful mercantile bus
mess, earning and winning the com
plete confidence of all the people with.
in q wide area. Later on he began to
grow citrus fruit, lin which enterprise
his business acumen, his strick adher
ence to work and his uprightness in
dealing brought him full measure OF
success. No man who has lived in
this section has enjoyed wider circle
of friends. As a man he was modest,
retiring, always courteous. To his en-
ployes he was most cOnsiderate, never
exacting from them more than his
due and always rewarding them for
faithful service. To the needy he was
tender-heartcd and abundantly gener-
GUS To the erring, he was forgiv-
ing. As citizen he performed his
duties conscientiously, with rare
mindedness and freedom from preJu-
dice. ever ready to aid in all public
enterprises.
But it was in his private life that
his virtues shone out conspicuously
His passion was for justice and well
may his life motto have been, moi
in seeming just, but being SO.
His married life was one long pc
riod of perfect trust and quiet hap
piness. His tender, chivalrous care
for the partner of his life's joys ant
woes was we'll known to all OF his
friends.
To those who knew him best the
reason for this high type Of manhood
was evident. 1t was as If he hat
clothed himself in the armor OF {
Christian knight to do battle for wha
he believed to be right and pure ant
just,
He has left his neighbors and hi
, friends worthy example of Chris
, tan manhood. Those who mourn
