WOUNDED BOY BACK
HOME FROM FRANCE

In letter from julie Snider of
Lyman. Washington. in which he
advances his subscription the Jour-
nal, Mr.. Snider tells us that he had
two sons in the World War-Edgar
who went into battle Sept. 18th, in
the Argonne-Meuse advance and
was under shell fire forty-fve days,
He was near Sedan when the armis-
tice was signed. A Washington
paper has the following to say of
the other son, Raymond, which will,
no doubt be of interest to friends of
the Snider family in Jackson county,
their old home:
Raymond Snider arrived home
Thursday, after an absence of five
years and says he is glad to get
home. He is the son of julie Snider
and is we'll known here. He was
among the first to enlist in the fight
for his country. and enlisted in Mis-
souri, in the 35th division and in
July this division occupied tn e
Gerardmer sector with the French
and it executed various raids. such
as the Helserfrst and MOttle raids
upon which it was highly compli
mented and received decorations
from the French. In September the
division backed the First American
Army during its operations in the
St. Mihiel salient. In the end of
the month the division attacked as
part of the First army in the great
Verdun-Argonne battle. 1t remain
ed in battle five days, executing
live separate attacks and losing
over six thousand officers and men
1t was here that Raymond was
wounded. On September 26 two
wounds in the right hand by ma
chine gun and on the 9th he was
hit by high explosive shell, receiv-
ing a wound in his leg and side.
For IL days he was confined to his
bed at Bordeaux and in hospital
for nine months before being able
to return home. Regardless of his
many hardships Raymond is look
ing well and his many friends well
come his return.

SOY Bean WORMS AGAIN
STARTING ON RAMPAGE
ANOTHER BROOD AT WORK

ANOTHER BROOD AT WORK
Raleigh. N. c.. Aug. 27.-Another
generation of soy bean worms. the
arrival of which was predicted by
the entomologists of the Experiment
Station. has now put in it's appear
ance in the Belhaven section of the
state reports MIR. r. w. Leiby AS
slstant EntmolOgist of the Aericul-
tural Experiment Station, who is
located in field station on Broad
Acre Ranch near Terra Ceia where
ne Is closely studying the worm
situation. The soy bean worm if
will be remembered has done in
jury in this state from Hot Springs
IN the west, to the coast. 1t has
been reported as injurious from
Massachusetts south hward.
The vast majority of the moths
have now hatched from their CO.
coons in the ground. They may be
seen by the millions in most anv
soy bean field, where they readily
fly upon being disturbed. These
moths are now laying eggs which
should hatch within a week. The
eggs are green in color and smaller
than the head of a pin. They are
laid on the under side of the leaves
OF on the stems along the hairs
The young worms are about an
eighth of an inch long when Matched.
This brood of worms will be do
ing damage which is first seen by
the farmer only after they are
about half grown. Farmers are
urged to be prepared to meet the
attack es soon as they detect the
young worms. A shaking of the
plant will reveal their presence and
the farmers are advised to examine
their beans every few days for the
presence of the worms. This brood
can be exterminated in some fields
and no serious injury will result if
the beans are sprayed or busted in
time. Most of the real injury is
done by worms which are half
grown or older and the careful
farmer who is interested in saving
his beans will be on the watchout
for the first sign of worms.
MIR. Leiby believes that this brood
will be heavy enough to completely
defoliate beans within a shorter
period of time than the last brood
and that the beans will suffer more
because most varieties will not be
putting out new foliage as they did
following the attack of the
last brood. Beans which are un-
able to maintain their foliage will
die before the seed is mature. This
has been demonstrated by the past
brood of worms on such early ma
turing varieties as Black Eyebrow,
Ito San and Virginia.

The above list is subject to cor
rection. If there should appear to
be any error we would thank you
to call our attention and we shall
make public rectification.
The object of publishing this
statement is to show those who are
interested exactly how the Confed-
crate Monument account stands,
and open the way to speedy and
complete settlement of the balance
due the people who erected this
splendid memorial to our immortal
dead.
The collection of this balance was
interrupted by the world war and
the influenza epidemic. Some of
those who are in arrears on SUBJ
scrlption are prominent business
and professional men, and some
have died since the monument was
unveiled. Any and all of them
would have paid their balances on
request, and it is no fault of theirs
that these have not been paid. In
fact It was the understanding with
all subscribers who wished, that
they could pay half of their SUBJ
scriptions before the unveiling and
the other half November 1, 1915,
and September 18th, 1916. and still
others not later than a year from
this latter date.
This by way of explanation. We
were exceedingly careful to credit
every person at the moment and
deposit the money, however small,
In one or the other Sylvia Banks,
without delay.
Our figures outside of subscrip-
tions and cost of monument, as
totals, are some of them, approx
mate. If we could collect all the
balances due in this list, provided
there are no material errors. we could
reduce the balance due. not figuring
the interest, to about $25O.O0. That
would be pretty good and agreeable
surprise.
The B. H. Cathey Chapter of the
U. D. C.'s have most patriotically
and voluntarily proposed to assume
to raise the money to pay off this
balance and free the Confederate
monument of debt. We sincerely
thank them.
We sons of Confederate veterans
and all who lay this matter to
heart, should do all we can to as
sist them. Prominent gentlemen of
our town and county who are not

CLEMENCEAUs WORK

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 Clemenceau's work Is done. His task is complete. and he is ready to rest. Georges Clemenceau will lay aside the burdens of public life and retire to the enjoyment of the peace which he has so magnificently earned
 Clemenceau is 7S. He is at the height of his mental vigor. His work in behalf of France and in behalf of humanity has been that of a man untouched by senil- ity. As president of the peace confer ence C1emenceau has indeed been Its lead CT. The final notes which he has penned appraising and labelling the German ma ton for the instruction of posterity, are
 masterpieces of conciseness and incisive-
 ness Had the assassin's bullet cut down
 Clemenceau in the midst of his work the loss would have been tremendous. Now that the work is done no one will at tempt to dissuade the great statesman and fearless patriot from shifting te younger shoulders the responsibilities oi state.
 | Clemenceau was one of the great lead CTS in war, and one of the great leaders in winning the peace after the war was
 won. It is difficult to determine in which
 work he showed greater force and wis 1 dem.
 | History will honor Clemenceau as on,
 of the most eminent of statesmen and one l of the purest and most admirable of pa triots. Few men in public life have
 have been so little swayed by persona ambition. Few men have been so ut l terly devoted to unselfish ideals Anf
 to few men has come an equal oppor, tunity to labor and to fight in the caust of right or to win such resplendent vic tories.

AT NIGHT

By Thomas Emmet Moore. The. children are nestled togetber The night is brooding and still, Save when the wind through the heather Walls drearily over the hill, Have I, through the suns golden hours. Made happy some comrade of mine. With thoughts more fragrant than
 flowers,
 With words that were sweeter than
 wine?
 The hour is meet for reflection.
 Abroad is the sad-moaning wind And I seek. through deep introspection. To know if today I've been kind. Have I, in the hurry and frettins. That today have worried my mind. Committed the sin of forgetting
 That one should always be kindf Oh. Night. thou ancient magician. If cruel or cold have been, Give ear to my prayer of contrition. Atsolve my spirit from sin! The children are nestled and sleeping. And Peace is the song of the wind: Peace unto all who are keeping
 The law that bids us bs kind!~

THE FORTUNES OF WAR

Ireland ton paper): yet the upshot was more triumphant for us than when Haig exploded 1s volcanoes simultaneously on the Messines Ridge and seemed in full flood towards Berlin. The Turks drove US into the sea at Gallipoli; sent our fleet flying from the straits, and gathered Kut and General Townsend like daisies They might just as well have made us pres ent of Constantinople and Bagdad with out striking a blow"
 The late struggle does seem war full of mysteries but probably contains no more than it's share when we con- sider its unprecedented proportions. His torians have not yet agreed on why Grouchy did not come up in time to win the battle of Waterloo for Napoleon or whether the English were already victors before Butcher and his Prussians arrived on the scene.
 As regards our own war between the states, it has been repeatedly stated that if the Confederate commanders had ad- vanced after their victory at First Ma nassas, Washington would have been cap- tured and the war ended in the spring of 1S6l Likewise, there has been much dis pute as to why the Confederates did not win the battle of Gettysburg. Rather Interesting were the articles which ap-
 peared many years ago in a magazine of national circulation in which different
 battles of the civil war were described
 by various leaders on both sides rhs
 same fight would be treated of from an
 entirely different angle by every onN of
 the contributing generals.
 In fact. while it is very easy forN the
 armchair strategist to say what theA of
 ficers in the field should do and for the
 historian to criticise a general for neg lecting his opportunities, the practice of war is possibly not quite so easy as the theory thereof. Military history is l full of paradoxies similar to those that l Shaw enumerates.
 | Very likely those tales with which we | used to be regaled in regard to those
 plans in the cabinet of the war lord at Potsdam by which the whole Franco Prussian war was waged from start to finish have about as solid a foundation
 as most of the propaganda stories in re- | gard to German efficiency. Some military critics have maintained that little vigor l time might have caused the best-laid ! schemes of Bismarck and von Mo3tke to
 go seriously awry.

LUKE M'LUKE SAYS

A man is likely to make a fad out of almost anything except the woman he married.
 Even when her husband has admitted that he is wnong woman hates to ad- init that he is right.
 Seeing that there are so many ways to spend money and only one way to save 1t. it is wonder that any man has a dollar.
 A newly-married man tells his wife eve, ything he knows. But he soon gets over 1t.
 A married woman likes to- believe that it is love that makes her act like a wild cat toward her husband. But it isn't love at all. It is jealousy. This would be quieter world if the society for the suppression of useless noises would get after some of the men who wear silk shirts. A man will pause long enough in his scramble after the almighty dollar to cuss out Rockefeller because lawn Dee did his scrambling early. And 8 man doesn't care so much about having the right side in an argument as long as he has the opposite side. About five months from now a lot oi the June grooms will begin to realize
  they were counting. A man isn't proud of the sore arm he got from working the way he would be if he got the sore arm from playing ball.
 A man loses his health hustling so he can get enough money together to en- able him to travel and regain his health A woman with paint on her face may
 be decent. But a man hates to give hel the benefit of the doubt when he sees tho paint.
 Any married man Is entitled to sym pathy-unless he is married to his sec ond wife.

International Tribunal
 Will Try Former Kaiser

1DREMIER LLOYD GEORGES an O nouncement, contained in dis patch from London yesterday, that the former kaiser would be placed on trial before an international tribunal, is robbed of much of it's interest by the previous announcement that the worst punishment Wilhelm needs to fear is rebuke
 Yet, Hohenzollern brought to the bar of judgment should serve as a wholesome warning to ambitious po- tentates who might some day dream of following in his footsteps-not to defeat, as in his case, but to victory The trial of Wilhelm will serve to show the world that criminals in high places can no longer escape respons- ibility for their acts. It will establish precedent that can be followed to advantage in the future if it is ever again necessary for enlightened na- tions to oppose their united strength against an international bandit, thirsting for the spells of war. It is reasonable to assume that the next ruler brought to trial would not be so lightly dealt with, even if he should be Jess guilty of offenses against civil Eation than the former German em- peror.
 SThe tribunal which will try Wilhelm should have no difficulty in finding him guilty by due process of law and its decree will have the effect of pillorying him for all time as an arch plotter against the peace of the world. whose hands are stained with the blood of millions of people sacrificed to Pan-Germanism. An ordinary criminal would trouble himself little over a mere official publication of his guilt, without condign punishment, but formal arraignment will be the last blow to Hohenzollern pride and will have the practical advantage of enabling the allies to dispose of Will. helm in such way that he will nc longer be able to scheme for the re- turn of the Hohenzollerns to power.
