A. M, DAVIS PASSES
Died at Rockwwod Hospital, Friday lOa
M; Buried HaIes Chapel Sunday

A. Nj. Davis died at Chamberlain
Hospital, lockwood, Friday forenoon at
10 clock, very suddenly. He was SO
years Of age and had been sick for
several months. The remains were
brought to Crossvile Saturday morning
by his son-in-law, j. B. France, and
were taken to his home Saturday and
inferred at Hales Chapel Sunday.
The deceased had been taken to Cham
berlain Hospital for an operation which
necessitated the insertion OF two tubes
in his back to drain off the diseased
matter. The operation had been per-
formed about a week and the patient
seemed to be getting along splendidly.
Friday morning when Dir. Wilson called
to see the patient he noticed at once
that a change had taken place for the
worse. On examination he found the
tubes had ceased to drain the system
and he knew that the left luUg-which
was seriously affected-bad dropped
and that meant that death was near.
DR.. Wilson phoned Mr.. France at once
and by the time he could notify the
family second message told of the
death of Mr.. Davis. Mr.. France went
to lockwood on the afternoon train and
returned with the body on the night
train. A. M. Davis had been far
mer all his life and had spent his lite
IN this county. He was an energetic
man, a kind neighb1r and had II. any
friends in his neIgborhhood and over
the county. A few years ago he was
elected justice of the peace from his
district but before he served out his
term the legislature abolished his dis
trict by uniting it with another. At the
last election he was a candidate again
and was defeated by only two votes.
One several occasions and under differ
ent sheriffs he had held the place of
deputy and in the discharge of his
duties he was always cool, fearless and
fair to all interested.
He will be much missed from the
neighborhood and by many over the
county who had known him for many
wears. He leaves wife and eight
children, all cf whom are married and
two daughters are dead. The living
children are: Thomas and White
Davis, Mrs. J. B. France, Mrs. Grant
Holloway, Mrs. Frank Patton, Mrs.
Jesse Hyder, Mrs. Jim Wyatt, Mrs.
Leonard Campbell. Also two grand
chldren are part OF his present fam
ily: Fred and Lou Davis. He also
leaves over so grandchildren.

SOME AIRSHIP PERFORMANCES
TREMENDOUS Speed Attained and Many
Persons Carried as Passengers

An aeroplane has flown across the
United States in tifty-two hours. An
Italian machine has carried aloft sew
enty eight, and an American flying
boat fifty -one passengers. Daily
fights are made between London and
Paris. when score of passengers seat
ed in upholstered cabins, decorated
with gllded mirrors and lighted with
electric candles, are carried 25O miles
on a and-a-half-hour schedule.
The fare is one shilling a milel In
Germany daily passenger service is
maintained between Berlin and Munich
"a distance of so miles.
A flight was made the other day from
Washington to New York in eighty
minutes, reducing the time OF the best
express train to about one-fourth. The
average speed throughout the flight
was 1872 miles an hour, ana even this
record has been increased five miles an
hour in the Middle West.
At this rate Chicago is brought TO
within five hours of New York and San
Francicso less than twenty. A revolu-
ton in transportation, comparable to
that which came with the railroad af-
ter the stage coach, seems assured for
the near future. The advantages OF a
passenger carrying craft which thus
overlaps all natural obstacles at such
pace, assure its acceptance.
An American express company has
recently offered to fill all active air
craft with express matter, leaving the
rates to be adjusted. The change from
a war to peace basis in aeronautics,
is a question merely of readjustment.

AMERICAS WAR DEBT
In Proportion to Her Wealth, is Only
About 8 Percent

With net public debt of twenty bill
hon Dollars, there is an average in
debtedness of about $500 for each man,
woman, and child in the country but
in the case of France the average debt
per capita is $1,000. 1t is true, too,
that we have not suffered by the loss
OF foreign lendings as France has, nor
by the devastation of our best indus
trial districts.
Also, during the war we have chang
ed from debtor nation to a creditor
nation, while England has changed in
the reverse direction.
Our financial burdens are, indeed, the
smallest among the Allies, with the
exception of Japan's. In proportion to
her wealth, Japan's debt is about per
cent: ours about per cent. Debts OF
other Allied countries run to nearly
half their national wealth. The costs
of our Civil War looks small as COM
pared with the cost of our participation
in the World War; IN the former we
spent about four billions, considerably
less than one seventh of our e> pense
IN this war, althouhg it lasted only one
third as long. But we are very much
more than seven times as strong in re-
sources as we were In 1865. 1t is the
duty of the country to take the Victory
Bonds. but it is to the self-lnterest of
the country, also. The Review OF

DOES NOT PREVENT WAR.
Is tn View Taken by Some, But Puts Ma
nv Burdens on United States

While the republican party seems
disposed to take no special stand just
now on the new League of Nations, but
will wait until a careful conference
has been held by the party leaders,
there are some who take this view of
the document:
Unless such changes are made IN the
new League of Nations covenant as to
make it promotive OF peace rather than
continuous misunderstandings and war,
and at the same time more conducive
to maintaining the integrity and in
dependence of the United States, it is
unlikely that the necessary Cd votes
will be found in the Senate for its rati-
fcation.
Under the terms of the document
and Article x, especially, it is specifi-
cally provided that the forces of this
country shall be used in maintaining
the integrity of states and empires ev-
erywhere on the globe. In other
words, Americas strength of an hun
dred millions of vital people, immense
wealth and free Institutions will be
utilized to uphold kings and bound
aries. As members of Congress point
out, nothing in nature is constant ex-
cept change. 1t is held by them that
an attempt to stiHe this development,
which presupposes struggle and there
fore strife just as throughout five thou-
sand years Of history, cannot but re-
suit in friction.
If the council of nine, in which we
are outvoted eight to one, and the as
sembly, IN which we are outvoted forty
four to one, should so determine we
must, Senators believe, go to the arm
ed assistance of whatever nation may
be in danger. In these conflicts we
might have no interest, and yet Amer
ican youths must in them sacrifice their
lives.
Should Great Britain be hard pressed
on the Indian frontier, we must go to
her assistance. No word is included
for a free ireland or Korea. Freedom
of the seas and self-determlnatlon nave
been forgotten where they apply to the
present possessions of any potentate.
Troops of nations at war must be per-
mitted to cross our territory.
Absolutely no provision is made for
the obiteratlon of war from the earth,
that ideal of which men have dreamed
for ages " hile they have fought contin-
uously. Armies and navies ERE not
done away with, nor are the ambltl22ns
and interests of peoples. Arbitration
is not so definitely stated as IN the
Hague convention. Any limitation or
armament would leave Britain IN com
mand of the ocean and IN protection OF
that sea-going commerce which she
intends to MAINTAIN. 1t would prevent
our ever competing in strength with
Britain on the Atlantic and leave US at
disadvantage IN any future conflict
1 with Japan on the Pacific.

FLAGS FROM HONOR ROLL PRE-. SENTED TO RETURNED
 SOLDIERS
Impressive Exercises Held Sunday Morning At Congregational
 Church

A service of more than usual i'm pressiveness was held at the Gongre- gational church last Sunday morning, during which the 40 flags that have hung on the church honor roll, one representing each member of the parish who engaged in the great war, were distributed to the returned sol diers, sailors and nurses.
 Judge Edgar NJ. Warner had charge of the presentations, and be fore distributing the flags he made a short and timely address. Judge Warner called attention to the fact that every branch of the service was represented on the church honor roll. There were nurses. quartermaster men, infantry men, special research workers, sailors and all of the rest. One man whose name is on the honor roll was engaged in the secret service. Altogether the church made a most favorable war record, and one of which it may justly be proud The names of those to whom the flags were given were printed in The Pa triot last week.
