LET'S GET OUT OF RUSSIA.
fCbieogo Tribune)

(Chicago Tribunel
We are conscious of some unalloyed
bitterness in our reflections on the Rus
sian situation We cannot refrainifrom
inquiriug. what possible interest have
some boys from Wisconsin and Michi-
gan in the boshevistic muddles of Rus
STA ?"
Frazier Hunt. The Tribune's CORES
pendent in the Archangel district, has
exposed a state Of affairs that cannot
fail to arouse anger, at least in these
parts which furnished the American sol
diers, inspired by purpose totally at
variance with ideas Of pot hunting for
mouiiks.
| Lloyd George expresses concern. But
Just the same the British war Office has
announced its determination to with
draw from Russia. Shall the boyslfrom
Wisconsin and Michigan maintain the
league Of nations as targets for snipers
in the far north?
Are these young men to remain in
their frozen igloos until our diplomatists
succeed in discovering some convenient
slogan that will set the martial blood
astirring? Citizen soldiers must be sup
piled with a reason for fighting They
like, most of all, to fight for their
homes; as a matter of fact, the defense
of home is the only reason. But it re-
quires long stretch of imagination to
shear arms in Russia for homes in Mich
igau and Wisconsin,
Our soldiers left their homes with
some sort Of notion that they We're
going out to make the world safe foi
democracy; and in Russia they find
themselves confronted by legions carry
ing on for the same reason. They seem
to be fighting for lack Of proper def
milton.
We are sending boIshevists out of the
country, and then we send soldiers af-
ter them What a brilliant mess it is !
If Russia is the place for undertakes,
why in heaven shame are we keeping
our heroes there? Right here, at home,
is the place for heroes.
No fighting is better than the reason
for it, We fail to see any reason for
American troops in Russia. We have
no war with Russia,
We had cause with Germany there
was danger of imperialistic aggression,
and it was no mild alarm. The young
men of this neighborhood heartily joined
in the war to suppress that danger.
But if Russia was a part Of it the sec
ret has been discreetly kept from
them.
Note Since the foregoing appeared
10 the Chicago paper an announcement
emanaung from the war department is
to the effect that our boys are to be
called out of Russia in the spring.
Criticism, and we'll founded in this case,
is bearing fruit, and the press. not the
war department, is entitled to the
thanks Of our rejoicing soldier boys

AT FILLING STATION
GAS IGNITED BY MATCH. THREE
ARE BURNED
Mr.. and Mrs. Edgar Greer and Marvin
Morrison Are Victims-Mrs. Greer's
Clothing Ignited--Car Practically
Destroyed.

|. A serious mishap occurred at the
plant of the Covington Manufactur-
ing and Auto Co. on Sunday after
noon about 6 o'clock. Mr.. Edgar

two children were out drivinO in their
Maxwell car, when the gasoline in
the tank began to get low and Mr..
Greer drove up to the filling station
at the above plant to get it filled.
In putting the cold gasoline into
the heated gasoline in the tank of
the car, the air in the immediate ter
ritory became well saturated with
gas, and when Mr.. Greer struck a
match for the purpose Of lighting
cigar it at once became ignited
When the nozzle of the hose was
taken out of the cars tank, in the
excitement incident to the gas being
set on fire, considerable gasoline was
thrown in Mrs. Greer's lap and on the
body of the car, and Mrs. Greer1s
dress and the car were both soon
on fire. Mr.. Greer, Mr.. Marvin
Morrison and other employees Of the
plant at once directed their attention
to saving Mrs. Greer's life, and this
was only effected by the most prompt
and heroic work.
Mr.. Morrison had both arms from
the elbows down badly burned in ex-
tinguishing the flames that threat
ened to envelop. her, and Mr. Greer
also sustained some painful burns
about the arms and hands. Mrs,
Greer was quite badly burned in sew
eral places on her limbs, but not
enough to be considered serious. She
was also burned on the arms and
hands. The children escaped injury.
An the top of the car was destroy
ed, as were the cushions, the steer
ing wheel-in fact, it was practically
ruined by the fire.
The gas in the tank of the car also
ignited, but through the excellent
work Of some Of the employees Of the
above plant, assisted by the fire de-
partment, in promptly extinguish-
ing it, more serious mishap was

and grieved to learn that she was in.
stantly killed at 1890 o'clock Sun

near Dyersburg by a northbound
Illinois Central passenger train. She

CINE cut her body all to pieces.
Mrs. Pierce was formerly Miss Jen-
ME Sherrod, of Covington, was a
daughter of the late DR.. John /.
Sherrod, and was 81 years of age at
the time Of her unfortunate death.
Seven brothers and two sisters sur
vive her.
She was married to MIR. Pierce
about 80 years ago, but leaves no
children. The burial took place in
the city cemetery at Dyersburg Sun
day at 2 o'clock.
The deceased had been a member
Of the Methodist church since child
h~od
The Dyersburq Gazette of July 10

the terrible happening:
"Mrs. Jennie Pierce, wife of George
w, Pierce, while crossing the l. G.
tracks at Jackson Crossing Satur-
dav night, was struck by No. 104 and
instantly killed. She had just clear

but she did not heed the warning in
time.
"Her tragic death is regretted by
a large circle of friends Of Mr.. and

FAITHFUL SERVANT RETIRES
FROM CITY SERVICE

ed" the faithful old fire horse,
who had been on duty at the city
fire station here for 10 years and six
months, has been retired from the
service and placed on pastures green
and by the still waters by his master,
Fire Chief Ed Wall, having attained
his majority-21 years.
This horse made more than 400
runs during his long service for the
city Of Covington, and never missed
a call. May every blade of grass
which he crops be sweet and juicy
and every grain Of corn and oats he
masticates be sweet and succulent, and
may he finally enter the horse heaven
said BY writer's Of song and story
to be prepared fer steeds who serve
their masters faithfully and well.

The club opened a six-game series
in Ripley this week, playing three
games in that city, and will play
three in Covington, beginning Thurs
day. Mondays game was not enti-
tied to be called a ball game. Both
teams made all sorts Of errors, and
Ripley finally won the game by a
score Of 5 to a.
Rain caused the game on Tuesday
to be called in the seventh inning
with the score 10 to 5 in favor Of
Covington. This game was but little
better than the game Monday, the
home club being handicapped by the
fact that Center Fielder Sigler was
out of the game on account of a
sprained thumb, and Jacobs, catcher,
being sick
Wednesdays game was a slaughter
of four Ripley pitchers, Sloan, their
star, lasting one and half innings,
and retiring under a fusillade of
hits. Barbee lasted three and half
innings. Jeter walked two men and
was then vanked, and Underwood fin
ished the game. Covington stole
bases at will on Henry, who caught
for Ripley, Maxwell stealing home.
Patrick pitched alright ball until
the sixth, when with 12-run lead,
he eased down.
After the three games to be played
with Ripley on the local diamond on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, this
week, the team moves over to
Brownsville Monday for two games.
Brownsville will also be here Wednes-
day. Thursday and Friday of next
week.

TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS ON
MONUMENT AND COURTYARD

The Joe Brown Bivouac is having a
new concrete walk built around the
Confederate monument in Covington.
The walk will be raised and the
drainage so arranged as to keep the
pool Of water from accumulating
there, as has been the case since the
old walk was laid. The cannon piers
on the east and west sides of the
monument viii also be re-cemented.
The work is being done under the
direction Of Mr.. r. B. Shelton.
Sheriff G. N. Volz has promised to
begin work on the bald places in the
courtyard soon, and when this work
is completed we hope to have a
courtyard that viii be a thing of
beauty instead of an eyesore to the
public and the jest of visitors from
other places.

HUBERT FISHER PLACED
ON AVIATION COMMITTEE

Washington, July 15.-In assign
ing the work of the House military
affairs committee to nine subcommit-
tees Representative Fisher Of the 10th
Tennessee district was placed on the
committee on aviation. This assign
ment is very congenial to Mr.. Fish
err, who is specially interested in the
development Of army air serviceS
The particular work of this subcom-
mittee is to formulate a permanent
program for developing aviation.
Mr.. Fisher is for making this one Of
the most efficient branches Of the
army, because he realizes the neces-
sity for America keeping up in the
forefront in aeronautics.
The last army appropriation bill,
as originally drafted. carried SS0,0O0,-
600 for developing the air service,
but this sum was subsequently cut
down to s15,OO0,000, a mere drop in
the bucket to the requirements Of
the situation. There is now sharp
rivalry between the United States
and Great Britain in aircraft deveI-
opment and it is patent that If Con-
gress does not provide literally fg-
this arm Of the service England will
keen the supremacy Of the air which
she now enjoys and haE reoonilv given
go spectacular de- l8Hs by
way Of enlightening emphasis.
