Johnson City, Nov. "a.
Dear Editor:
must tell you how much I
enjoy reading the News, especial
ly the last two issues with those
splendid compositions written by
Annie Rae Phillips and Christine
Corum. Tell them to keep o nsay-
ng good things like that. If all
the girls and boys had Annie Rae
idea Of responsibility, this old
world would take on a wonderful
improvement. And what a splen-
did idea of q high school Christine
gave us. | certainly hope she will
see that very building in Rut-
ledge soon. CAS- a girl thinketh in
her heart, so she Isl. What sweet
memories it brings back to me
to read from the pen of these girls
1t seems only yesterday since they
were in my Sunday, School class
and | was reading to them.
How splendid Of the News to
give such a fine ad for the seven
! ty-five million campaign, and
such a fine explanation of the wo-
mems work in our Southland.
hope every Baptist woman will
study that page carefully and ap-
preciate it. Why not give note
from our Granger County pastors
now and then, telling US all about
their church work thru the col
umns of the News. | know we who
are readers would enjoy hearing
from any pastor and his church.
for one would enjoy hearing
from them, besides it would add
to the good Christian fellowship.
| Let us hear from all the school
girls and the rest of the folks
thru the columns of the News.

GERMANS TO PAY
FOR SINKING FLEET
DENY ATTEMPT TO EVADE
RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE
OF ABSENCE OF AMERICANS

The German note in reply to the
entente, delivered to Paul Dutas-
Ia, secretary of the peace con-
ference, today says:
"The German Government de-
sires to dissipate the misunder-
standing that owing to the mo-
mentary absence of American del
egates from the commissions pro-
vidAd for at the peace conference
Germany claimed notifications
anoe iss>t ia.tns Of the treaty con
cernag fHs lktradition OF person
charged with culpability in acts
contrary to military law, or the
repatriation of prisoners.
"The German government pre-
vious to receiving the allied note,
had already explained the reasons
why it would appear necessary to
modify the conditions for the ere
cution of those clauses, but the
german government never made
its assent for the putting into
force of the peace treaty condi-
tional upon a previous solution OF
that question.
THE German government main
tains it's opinion that the best
means to reach solution of the
Scapa Flow incident would have
been to submit the case to inter
national arbitration to the Hague
Such q measure would not have
delayed putting the treaty into
force or the signing of the potoco
thus modified.
DESTROYS, however of doing it.
utmost for the early re-establish
nent of peace, the German govern

reparations for the damages tha
were caused to the allied associa

ton OF SHIPS.
But the German government i
unable to effect such reparation
in the manner demanded by tn
protocol C November / becaus
the execution Of the demands for
mulated in that protocol woul
compromise irretrievably Ger
many's economic life and ais
render impossible the execution O
the other enormous obligation
which the treaty imposes on Gel

"The German government wi

WHY WAIT?

Service men! Why wait to rein
state your War Risk Insurance?
Waiting may spell danger of dis
aster to health. No time is quite
so good as now, especially in view
of the fact that you may secure
insurance reinstatement without
reference to your present state
of health provided your applica-
ton for reinstatement is made
within three calendar months of
date of your discharge. If dis
charged more than three months
and less, than eighteen months it
is necessary to state in your appli-
cation that your health is as good
,aas at date of discharge.

THE SPIRIT OF
CHRISTMAS
Christmas Spirit!

CnrlsITTlaS oplttt!
How often the meaning Of
these words is interpreted wrong
"; and how often we forget the
true purpose of Christmas.
Jesus Christ lived and taught
two thousand years ago, and His
life was of such wonderful mean
ing TO the human race that the
thought was conceived by someone
who loved Him, of setting apart
a day in which to glorify His
name and worship him as the
Savior of the world. That day
has been called Christmas in the
praise of His name, and it is in
tended throughout the Christian
world as a day of humble prayer
and thanksgiving.
However, since its first cele-
bration many years ago, Christ
mas has lost much of its sacred
spirit. Today's world has sc
changed its meaning as to entirely
overlook the life Of Him, whose
name it is intended to glorify
The manner of the celebration to-
day in every city and town is very
different from what it was first
| intended to be. Rather than t
continue to celebrate His life a:
it is now celebrated, let each re
new in his own heart the tru,
spirit of Christmas.

HEED THE APPEAL AND BUY
RED CROSS CHRISTMAS SEALS
Morristown, Tenn, Dec

MorrlstoWn, Tenn, Dec. H. 1919.
To the Citizens of Granger County:
accepted the chairn1anship of the nineteenth
district comprising the counties of Hamblen,
Cooke, Granger Greene Hawkins, jefferson,
and Hancock for the Red Cross Christmas Seal
campaign. After thorough investigation of
just what good the money derived from the sale
of Christmas Seals was really doing for the 4un-
fortunate tubercular of Tennessee, and after be-
ing convinced of the wonderful good this Anti
Tubercular organization was accomplishing in
Tennessee, and realizing that it is impossible for
tbs Wor kto continue on and develop in big way
it should without the success of this campaign.
could not refuse and feel right in my heart that
have done everything in my power for the 45OO
persons who are doomed to die from consumption
in our state next year, and until there is real
awakening in each county and thousands of dol
lars of Red Cross Christmas Seals purchased hv
cur citizens each year, Tennessee will be national
y known as occupying second place in native
death rate by tuberculosis. Only one other state
in our Union has higher native death rate, and
that is Kentucky. .-...- s...-
Tennessee is truly one of the garden spots of
the whole world fresh mountain air, pure water,
splendid climate and there is really no natural
cause why it should not rank as one of the most
healthful safes of the union. The real cause must
be with US as citizens and it is high time for to
awaken to the real situation and loyalty support
this organization that has found tuberculosis to
be durable and preventable and controllable by
purchasing thousands of Christmas Seals and
health bonds.
Merchants and banks should purchase as many
as 800 worth of seals and health bonds and every
individual should purchase at least $10O worth OF
these Christmas seals which are on sale at all
stores and banks.
sincerely ask every citizen to assist our local
County Chairman in the sale of these Christmas
Seals and if every citizen will do his part, we can
put Tennessee on the map not only as enc of the
best places to live, but one Of the most healthfu
places on the globe.
Most Cordially, ~,
LYNN SHELLEY, District Chairman.
