MAKING FURNITURE.
Junior Red Cross Boys to Make Chairs
and Tables for French.

American school boys are about tt
execute ~; bably one of the bigges
furniture O. !ers ever placed-30, 00(
chairs and J., 900 tables Manufactur'
ing this furniture in school and com
munity mar ual training shops through
out the United States, the members Of
the Junior Red Cross will present it,
through the American Red Cross, to
the refugees of northern France.
These people are pouring back to
their devastated homes at a rate that
makes the housing problem involved
one of the hardest the French govern
ment and the relief agencies have to
solve.
According to the program laid down,
about 100, 900 school boy carpenters
will participate in the big job and it is
expected that Is, 900 families in France
will receive one or more pieces of fur
niture as the result. With each chair
and table will go message of greet
ing from the Junior Red Cross, con-
tanning an addressed card that will en-
able the recipients to acknowledge the
gift.
The necessity for supplying the ref
ugees with furniture arises from the
fact that many are without money with
which to buy furnishings. while such
as nave funds cannot pe supplied in
France because of the lack of mater
ials and the destruction of the means
of manufacture.

HOME TELEPHONE MEETING,
Indications Favorable to installing New
System Here at Early Date.

At the close of the road meetinp
Monday. ESQ. ID. W. Lundy, of Pleas
nat Hill, addressed the meeting on the
question of the establishment of the
Home Telephone Service in Crossville.
He explained its advantages, cost and
methods of doing business. He made
it plain that the enterprise is not for
the purpose of making money. but Tor
furnishing cheap telephone service to
the people. The charge is to be 50
cents month, subscriber buying his
own box, and 10 cents for talking to
non-subscribers.
On motion of Cashier J. S. Reed. a
committee was appointed consisting
OF J. s. Reed, A. J. McGuire, Andy
Elmore and Chas. Comstock, to con-
slider ways and means or bringing the
Home Telephone service to Cross.

is called for next Monday at clock
to further consider the matter. The
general public is invited to be present
at the meeting and take part in the de-
liberations.
Never before have we seen such a
unanimous outburst of opposition to,
and condemnation OF, the service rem
dered by the GaInesboro Telephone
Company, as was manifest at this
meeting.
One man who lives two miles out of
town said he bad tried for three even
ings to get central and only succeeded
after notifying central when in town
that he would call at about certain
time. Another man stated that he had
been trying for two or three days to
get Pleasant Hill-l2 miles away
and haC not then succeeded. A mur-
mur of disapproval and condemnation
came from all parts of the room 80 SOON

tion now points to relief of perma-

SENATOR WILSON WEEDS
Miss Viola Rhea Is the Bride; Wedding
Trip to Capitol City,

Last week ex-senator I. E. Wilson
and Miss Viola Rhea, were quietly
married, ESQ. R. A. Powell officiating.
The bride is the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Wesley Rhea, of Biglick, and
has been one of the teaching force of
the county for several years. She is
bright young lady, possessed of un-
usual musical talent and is highly re-
spected by her host of friends at Big
lick and other points.
The wife of Senator Wilson died a
few years ago after a lingering illness
of many months. All his children
either being married and settled in
homes of their own or not residing in
this section, the senator sorely missed
the quiet and comfort of his own home.
The lady he has chosen will undoubt
edly provide those home comforts that
are SO dear to the heart of every man,
and his many friends throughout this
county and over the state will heart
lily join in wishing him and BRIDE a
long and happy welded life.
The bride and groo.., made a brief
wedding trip to Nashville. They will
make their home on the splendid farm
owned by Senator Wilson at Crab
Orchard.

LETTER FROM GERMANY
Lincoln Potter, Who Is Helping to Hold
the Rhine, Writes Home.

| We take the following extracts from
letter written by Lincoln Potter tc
his father, Leonard Potter. The
I young man is with the American
forces on the Rhine, Germany. The
letter is dated March ., and Is written
from the city of Neederbreusig:
"I'm still cooking-cooking in a
hotel, with plenty of vessels and ev'
erything handy. We use it just the
same as the Germans used it. OF
course the armistice says we are to do
as we wish so we do.
"We are treated better than when we
were in France.
well, this time year ago was my
first fighting. The 5th OF March the
Germans gave US a heavy lombard
ment, killing several besides wounding
many, but they didn't get any prison.
ers, which was the main thing with
them, tor the Kaiser wanted to see an
American prisoner. We all fought
hard and no one was captured Our
general wanted German prisoner, so
our artill cry opened at II midnight
andwe went over the top at sos in
themorning. We didn't know much
about fighting, but we soon learned a
lot. We got to the German lines, after
losing about half our forces got to the
first line of defense, blew up several
dugouts, cut wire, but found no Boche,
so we got mad and went TO the second
line, which was much farther back.
he didn't know enough about it, so We
were like the Germans-we got no pris-
oners. You should have seen their
trenches! Looked just like freshly
plowed ground; no trenches to 1t.
"I've been in several fights since.
The way we fight now is not like they
used to. We hit place and battle
away for sometimes a month, so you
:an hardly call it one battle, for we
nave a battle every day. One d.
vision stays about Is days q the front

is and pushes on. Those Is days are
Is long as most six months; no sleep,
'ery little to eat; just what water you
an get off the dead or when you cross

ometimes have to, or die. One always
amples it and if he doesn't die, we all
rink.

thine by way of Holland, so that will

'ill sail in April so probably we will

OPPOSED To LEAGUE
Extracts Ffom Speech Of Col. George
Harvey at indianapolis, Ind.

Col. George Harvey delivered a
speech at Indianapolis, March II, be-
fore the Columbia Club, in opposition
to the proposed league of nations plan.
While the speech is far too long for
our columns, we are giving here few
brief extracts from the speech, setting
out some of his strongest points of op-
position. The extract follows:
81 am opposed to the covenant as it
stands. l am opposed to it as it may
be amended. l am opposed to it il
principle. l am opposed to it in the
ory. am opposed to 1t in practice.
81 regard it as the most un-American
proposal ever submitted to the Ameri-
can people by an American President.
81 am opposed to this country enter
ing into any perpetual or permanent
alliance with any Power for any pur-
pose, for war, for peace, or for any
thing else.
81 am opposed to yielding so much
as shadow or suggestion of the SOW
ereingty of this Republic.
81 am opposed to any proposal that
might by the remotest chance impair
the absolute independence of the ma
tion or the complete freedom of the
people.
II would rather fight for the Monroe
Doctrine than for the Akoond of Swat.
81 would never forfeit our right to
maintain neutrality between any for
eign belligereats.
II would never take control Of our
commerce from Congress-.
81 am opposed to all men of what
ever political faith who counsel or ac-
quiesce IN the slightest concession to
those who in the name of humanity |
would betray our country and cruelty
our liberties!
I" They enslave their children's
children who make compromise with
sim
81 deny that this abortion of a
league is essential to the making and
preservation of peace.
81 insist that the power for good of
America has just been proved, Is In
herent in her selt-government and her
alootness from intrigue.
81 abhor the possibility of Ameri-
can individualism beng engulfed in
the morass of Socialism.
"If were an Englishman, French
man or an Italian | should want this !
League; but am an American. 8
81 hope to die before see any red
blooded American sitting as President
and one out OF nine in council con- ,
trolling the world. If
"But l see no reason to believe that, ,
as President Of the World, Mr.. Wilson q
could keep US out of war any more :
than he did as President of the United {;
States. He is vastly more successful .
at the moment in keeping US out of
peace.
81 pronounce it crime to suggest
that a single American boy be taken
from his home and assigned to police
duty in far off lands.
81 would never let any foreign Pow
ar have a say as to the size of our
amy or our navy.
81 denounce this scheme as the abso. a
ute denial of Democracy. l defy any n
body to disprove the assertion that it
s the most complete autocracy the N
world has ever known. h
81 hold that the nation affords the Il
,nly hope for democracy and that pa a
;riotism is the bulwark of the nation" u
