Soldiers in Russia
 Fail in Their Duty

1.-THE refusal of a company of
 J American soldiers on the Arch angel front to obey the commands of their officers and prepare to move up toward the fighting zone is serious matter.
 No doubt our soldiers in that frigid country have had their patience sorely tried; no doubt they have endured hardships which make them resent ful: no doubt they feel that they have to carry more than their share ot the wars burden. But even at that it is a very serious matter when soldiers refuse to obey their commanders ana when a company of men can make a colonel release one of the1r numper who had been imprisoned for dis obedience. before they will agree to carry out his orders.
 This incident is also serious from the fact that it is symptomatic of the unrest among our soldiers everywhere. Politicians at home have harped so much on the disagreements and de- ilays at Paris that many of the boys .+ tho front have received the word and have felt that they were oelng unjustly held in service. The men | have also heard reports ot the hlgh
 wages at home, the good Jobs that are
 being secured by the returning sol
 diers. They feel that some of these
 good things should come their way.
 Such incidents as this furnish all ithe more reason for calm counsel anu llevel-headed conduct during the pres
 ent trying period which fortunately
 now seems to be drawing to close
 Republican politicians and anti Wilson democrats will make much or the RuS- sian affair. It will be blazoned over
 the country as another evidence Of the incompetence of idealism. It Will be used as an example of democratic mls- management and faulty handling o1 . |the European situation.
 . The nation appreciates the worR those boys from Michigan and Wis consin have had to do in northern t Russia and it has stood ready to d( them honor. It will not condone, how ever, any soldiers failure to do hi' duty, even though that soldier may
 consider his duty an unjust hardship

COURAGE IN BATTLE

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
 If is pleasant to read that "Monk' Eastman, notorious New York gunman and leader of thugs, so distinguished himself as a soldier, that he is again liv- ing under his real name, that of William Delany, and has expectations of a restor- alton of citizenship at the hands of Gov ernor Smith.

 If is a bootless pastime to undertake
 in single out a class of men and say
 which of them would make the bravest soldiers. Bravery in battle is not peculiar
 to any class of men. A distinguished assavist has remarked that personal
 courage is the most common Of human virtues. The weasley, timid, dried-up llttle
 man. never in civil life suspected of hay

At big school meeting held at Cul
leoka on Friday the citizens pledged
nearly $4,000 for the erection of a
handsome and commodious building
to cost in the neighborhood of $4,000.
Without any previous canvass the
subscriptions poured in until nearly
half of the amount desired had been
obtained. Several of the prominent
and progressive citizens of the sec.
ten were not present at the meet
ing Friday and big addition is ex.
pected when they are heard from

The occasion marked the close of
the school term, one of the best that
Culleoka has known in years. Under
the able direction of DR.. j. NJ. Robi-
son the school has prospered as it
never has before. This fact no doubt
contributed to the interest in the new
building.
The orator of the occasion was Pref.
w. C. Anderson. of Nashville, superin-
tendent of the schools of Davidson
county and one of the strong men
among the school supervisors of Ten
neSsee. Prof. Anderson's address was
an able and eloquent appeal for sup
port for public education. He made a
profound impression.
During the day an old fashioned
basket dinner was served There was
the greatest abundance of everything
to eat. The dinner was served I'M

of Culleoka, which has been one of
the big factors in creating fine SEN
