Murder and
Rapine In Poland
Liberated Russian Prisoners of
War Spread Reign Of
Terror.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.--Stories
of terrible conditions in Poland have
been related to the Polish national
committee at Paris by couriers from
Poland according to information re-
ceived today at the Polish bureau
here.
Murder and rapine are now filling
the land" said statement by the bu-
reau, "and the social disorders conse-
qunet upon bolshevism in the terri
tory, have become secondary to the
stories of bodily tortures which are
being inflicted on the people. Faced
with constant appeals for aid from
the Polish population, in Wilma, Grod-
no and Lembery, the Polish military
command in Warsaw finds itself in
the position, where, with but scant
military force, and relatively small
quantities Of military supplies, it is
obliged to ignore the demand of many
casting its strength where the chances
of doing good are most pronounced,
Meanwhile, throughout the coun-
tryside, in the entire area northeast
and south of Warsaw, Russian pris-
oners of war, released by Germany
are spreading a reign of terror in the
various hamlets where they are com
Wandering the fragments of food,
the clothes, and the bedding Of the
people. Jews and Gentiles are suf-
fering alike in this terrible crusade
which is being waged against them.

Pershing Is
Mentioned AS
1920 Candidate

CHICAGO, Jan. 10.-Party leaders
from nearly every state arrived here
today to attend the meeting Of the
Republican National Committee to
be held tomorrow
The seosion win be in the nature
of the political love feast at which
the Republican victory at the congress
sional elections last November will be
cannayssed and plans for the 1920
presidential campaign discussed.
Party leaders in informal confer
ence tonight discussed probable pres
idential candidates and issues. Among
the names mentioned in the gossip
we're:
General Pershing, General Wood,
Senator Lodge, Senator Cummins,
Senator Knox, William H. Taft, for
mer Governor Whitman, of New
York, and Senator Weeks, of Massa-
chusetts.
The two issues most frequently
mentioned in the gossip were an at
tack on the alleged extravaganza Of
the national Democratic administra-
ton and the strong declaration
against Bolshevism ana Socialistic
doctrines, including government own
ership or operation of the railroads
and other public utilities.

Food Supplies
Needed In Russia

The economic and governmental
affairs of Russia are in a most dis
tressing and dangerous condition
The long period of war, turmoil,
and unrest has resulted in a short
age Of food which has already caused
hundreds of thousand sof fatalities
from starvation and disease, and
there is grave danger that the total
number Of deaths from such causes
may reach a million or more before
another crop is avilable.
All semblance Of national govern
ment has long since disappeared and
the different cities and provinces of
what was formerly a great empire,
are now ruled by individual generals
or chieftains, or by groups of persons
representing widely divergent ideas
as to proper governmental and econ
omic methods
Perhaps the most unfortunate
phase Of the entire situation lies in
the fast that, while there are pow
erful groups who believe in and are
attempting to reestablish the old
monarchy and while other strong
elements are spreading anarchy and
lawlessness throughout the whole,
unhappy land, there seems to be mo-
where any substantial movement for
truly democratic form Of govern
ment and, consequently, the problem
Of intervention by the allies is very
delicate and difficult, and will con-
stitute one of the hardest problems
before the peace conference.
There is some talk of the allies un-
dertaking the forcible establishment
Of law and order and the setting up
of responsible government in Rus
STA but, considering the huge size of
the country, its vast population, and
the fact that such action might we'll
prove' even more arduous and dam
gerous task than that Of defeating
Germany Especially in view of the
probable difficulty Of securing and
retaining harmony between the pres
ent allies for the accomplishment of
such purpose) it would seem that
such action should be undertaken
only as a very last resort.
The one thing as to which all ac-
counts agree is that Russia is hungry.
Food is needed at once and in great
quantities, and the very first thing
to do with the Russians is to feed
them. After they are fed perhaps
they viii listen to reason and be wil-
ling to undertake the establishment
of proper form of government, but
while these 150,000,000 people are
half crazed by hunger it is useless
to attempt either to talk or to shoot
democracy into them. The roads to
Russia, through Austria, through the
Balkan states, and also through the
Dardanelles are wide open and, in
the interest of humanity as well as
of the peace Of the world, Russia
must be fed and fed quickly.

STURGEON AND THE YOUNG
DUTCHMAN.
"a True storx.l.

A young man came all the way
from Holland once to ask Mr.. Spur
geon the oft-repeated question
what shall do to be saved?"
The great preacher was sitting in
his vestry, seeing inquirers, when the
young Dutchman came in and spoke
in broken English.
Where did you come FROM" ask
ed Sturgeon.
Il came from Holland, sir, by
boat"
and you want to know what you
must do to be saved? Well, it is a
long way to come to ask that ques-
ton. You know what the answer is,
Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and
thou shalt be saved"
"But l cannot believe in Jesus
Christ"
well now" said Sturgeon, look
here. / have believed in Him for a
good many years, and ! do trust
Him; but if you know something OF
other against Him; l should like to
know it, for do not like to be de-
Iceived."
mo, sir; ! do not know anything
against Him."
why don't you trust Him, then?
Could you trust me?"
Eyes; ! could trust you with any
thing"
"But you don't know much about
me-"
mo, not much; only | know you
are a preacher of the Word, and
believe you are honest, and / could
trust you"
DO you mean to say" said Mr.
Sturgeon, shat you would trust me
and then tell me you cannot trust
Jesus Christ? You must have found
out something bad about Him. Let
me know it"
The visitor stood still and thought
for moment, and then said:
II can see it now. Why Of course
/ can trust Him. He is such bless.
ed One that | must trust Him. Good.

WALTER HURD WRITES INTER
ESTING LETTER OF HIS EX-
PERIENCES ON SEA.
Boston, Mass,
Dec. 4th, 1918.

Dec. 4th, 1918.
Dear Homefolks -
Will write you this morning, as
have just returned from my third
"trip across seas and landed at Com
monwealth pier, Boston, Mass.
My last trip was something similar
to the two first ones, only that | land
ed at a different port.
! enjoyed my trip to Genoa. Italy,
and Liverpool, England, much better
than my last trip to Brast, France,
because the seas were so rough there
and back on this trip.
On my kay back to the States, we
stopped for ten days on the Azores
Islands. To the best of my estima-
ton these Islands lay about seven
hundred miles west of Brest, France.
Some place, that was. am mail
Quincy many souvenirs | got while
there. wouldn't care to see these
Islands again, because if you could
see the fifteen hundred boys on ship
with me mailing souvenirs to home
folks, you would think there was very
little of the Islands left.
Mother, | must hasten to tell you
we were awarded two war chevrons
for conveying troops through war
zones, and also doing coast duty on
foreign shores. OF course | wear
these on the left sleeve Of my jump
ers or what sis calls middy's.
| was about to forget to tell you
what you most wanted to know
Have l escaped the Flu? Yes; for OF
course you know / am Flu-proof.
sure thought my turn was coming
as | was detailed to act as pharma-
cist's mate, because the sick boy was
unable to handle them all, as there
was about FIVE hundred Of them down
at one time, Only three cases proved
fatal.
| hope all are we'll at home. Tel
ikd brother hello.
We leave here some time this week
for Brooklyn navy yard, from where
about eight hundred will be detached
to land duty. The next time you
hear from me / will be in Great
Lakes Naval training station, iii
nois.
hope to get a furiough from there
for Christmas or New Years, and
then will tell you all about myself
and the scraps with the submarines
You know the ship / was on was the
nrst one TO open fire on the enemy
submarines in American waters.
Tell uncle to have those dogs and
guns ready for when / get there
want a little sport in that line, as you
know that is my hobby.
Love to all.
Your sailor son,

APPEAL FOR HELP AND FUNDS


The present cold weather is bring
ing an increased number Of calls
from the needy and suffering poor Of
the town.
The first real winter weather al
ways brings about these conditions,
and now, as never before, in the his
tory Of our organization has there
been such need for help and money.
The influenza epidemic of the ear
lier part Of the winter is responsible
for two serious phases of the Associa-
ted Charities work at the present
time. First, it has greatly depleted
the treasury; second, it has rendered
antilles entirely dependent upon the
organization for support.
This winter, now that it seems to
have set in in earnest, viii be hard
for many people in Greeneville to
weather through, and if much help
is rendered, it means our people will
have to contribute to the work.
Many people OF the town have no
idea Of the necessity and Importance
of the work of this organization, and
for this reason, the Associated Char
tiles extends to every citizen Of our
town, request for cooperation in
some way.
If you cannot render aid in one
way you may be able to do so in
another.
First Of all, we need money in the
treasury. ANY contribution you may
make will be greatly appreciated and
wisely expended
Second, we need bedding and Sec
ond-hand clothing, for which, Mr..
Gouchenour, our worthy Post Master,
win give US storage. If you can
spare only single piece, take it
there at once, so that those suffering
from cold may be more warmly clad.
Remember our own poor are as
susceptible to cold and hunger as are
the Belgium poor.
Committees appointed before
Christmas are still expected to act
as investigating committees in their
respective wards, and to report such
cases as they may think proper to
either Mrs. ]. D. Britton, Pres, j.
F.. Swingle, Vice-Pres., or J. d. Brit
ton, Treas.
