WILSON SAILS
FOR UNITED STATES
EMBARKS AT BREST ON TRANS
PORT GEORGE WASHINGTON
Four DestrOyers Convoy Transport
on Trip Across Atlantic-Red Cross
Representative Presents Roses to
Mrs. Wilson.

Brest, June 29.-President Wilson
the treaty with Germany signed
sailed from Brest today on his re-
turn to the United States. The U.S.S
GeorgeWashington, carrying the pres
idential party, steamed from the har-
Dor at 2:20 o'clock this afternoon.
The departure Of the president from
France caused little excitement in this
port. There was only a distance Of
so feet from where his special train
stopped to where a motor launch was
waiting to convey him to the George
Washington. There was little cheer
ing and applause from the several
thousands who had gathered at the
embarkation pier. A procession Of
Socialists. singing international"
debouehed from the Rue Siam as the
president walked across the pier. The
president waved his silk hat at the
paraders.
Gathered at the wharf were French
and American officials. The first to
greet the president were Admiral H.
Salaun and Admiral q. N. Benoit, of
the French navy. Rear Admiral A.
s. Halstead, of the American navy,
and Maj. Gen. E. A. Halmick and
Brig. Gen. Smedley Butler greeted
the president in turn.
Mrs. Wilson was presented with a
bouquet of Brittany roses by Mrs.
Josephine Lewis, Of Cincinnati, Ohio,
representing the American Red Cross
in France. Mrs. Wilson wore a navy
blue tailored dress and a handsome
but simple little hat, apparently the
latest creation from the Rue de la
Paix. She smiled and thanked Mrs.
Lewis and then chartered briefly with
her. Mrs. Wilson appeared tired and
fatigued and apparently was in
hurry to reach the launch. The band
Of the Tenth Chasseurs played "The
Star Spangled Banner" and the Mar
selIaise as the president descended
the steps in the launch
AS the launch went into stream a
company of marines and veterans Of
the User presented arms, while cries
Of give Wilson," give Amerique!p
and give la Paixl" were heard.
The president stood aft on the
launch, waving his hat at the crowd
on the National bridge. The launch
was lost to view down the harbor
just as the Socialist parade reached
the cliffs overlooking the harbor.
AIS the transport moved out, the
president appeared on the bridge
wearing cap. Rear Admiral Gray
son, his physician, stood nearby. The
president was silent as he gazed at
the disappearing shores Of France.
AS the George Washington disap-
peared in the summer haze, the presi
dent stood on the bridge waving a
farewell to the salute from the French

DISABLED SOLDIERS
GET COMPENSATION
SPECIAL GOVERNMENT AGENT
HERE JULY Z.
Will Be at Home Service Headquar-
ters-ExplanatiOn of Terms Giyea
Necessary that Applicants FIJI
Out Blanks.

As an indication of its gratitude
and appreciation for the services rem
dered by her fighting sons, the U. s.
government has made liberal provi-
sions for those who may have been
in any way injured while in service.
But instead of the pension system
applied after former wars, the gov
eminent in this instance, realizing
that it owes a debt to its disabled
soldiers, calls its financial assistance
Compensation"
The compensation act provides that
"for death or disability from person
al injury suffered or disease contract
ed in the line Of duty" certain month
ly payments shall be made-to the
next of kin, where the soldier died
in service; TO the soldier himself,
where he was disabled The amount
per month varies in proportion to
the size of family; one without de-
pendents receiving $50 per month,
while a man who had wife and
three children would receive SIS per
month. Where the soldier is only
partially disabled, then he will re-
ceive a proportionate part of the
compensation that would be payab
in case of his total disability. Under
a recent ruling, compensation is pay
able wherever the soldier has once
been finally accepted at camp, though
he may later be discharged for some
disease existing at time of accept
ance; compensation, however, is not
payable in any event to those who
were not finally accepted at camp,
and who received only a discharge
from draft" Claim for compensa-
ton must be filed within one year
from time of discharge.
The government has also provided
that where a man after discharge is
entitled to compensation but is UNI
able to carry on a gainful occupation
or to resume his former occupation
successfully, he will be given train
ing in his present occupation or
taught a new trade adapted to his
needs. During such period of train
ing the government will pay him
either the amount which he was re-
ceiving during the last month of his
enlistment, or the amount which he
would be entitled to receive as gov
eminent compensation, whichever
amount is the greater; and his fam
lily will also receive their allotment
and allowance. The government will
also pay all expenses while the man
is training, and after the training
has been completed will secure a
position for the soldier.
. Mr.. A. S. Burghauster, who is a
special agent of the federal board
Of vocational education, will be at
the headquarters of the home SER
vice section of the Red Cross in
Covington, and is anxious to meet
every soldier in Upton county who
is entitled to the benefits of COM
pensation or education. If the SOL
der cannot be present himself, he
is urged to have some member of
his family present, who will secure
the information for him. In order
to take advantage of compensation
and education, it is necessary for the
soldier to make application. Mr.. W.
L. Owen, the secretary, has the
forms for this purpose, and will be
glad to assist those who wish to
file application.

LANSING HEADS MISSION

Paris, June 29.-With the depar-
ture of President Wilson, Secretary
Lansing becomes head of the Ameri-
can peace delegation, which will carry
on negotiations on the Austrian and
other treaties under consideration
But this arrangement will probably
be only temporary, as Secretary Ian
sing expects to return to the United
States about the middle Of July,
Frank Polk, assistant secretary OF
state, viii replace him.
Henry White is leaving for q
weeks vacation at the seashore to-
morrow, and Col. House is going to
London; SO Gen. Bliss and Secretary
Lansing will be the only American
delegates in Paris for the next few
days.
All the delegations are so worn
out by the protracted negotiations
that many of the delegates are tax
ing leaves, and it probably will be
difficult to make much Roadway for
the next fortnight.

COMPANY ROBBED
YEGGS MAKE GETAWAY WITH
RICH HAUL.
Safe Blown Open With NitrOglycerine
and Approximately $625 in Cash
and Securities Secured - Burglars
Escape on Freight Train.

The safe at the j. T. Fargason
Grocery Co.'S. wholesale house in this
city was blown open by yeggmen
some time between 2:30 and 3 o'clock
Sunday morning. A hole was drilled
in the side of the safe, nitroglycerine
was inserted and the safe was nearly
blown off its foundation, and was
practically wrecked by the explosion.
Only a piece of railroad iron and
thu crowbar with which the inner
door of the safe was priced open were
left behind by the yeggs.
1t was evidently the work of eX-
perts in the business, as it was very
quickly executed and the safe blow
ers made a clean getaway
The sum of S32.G8 in cash and
$592.20 in war savings stamps was
secured by the yeggs, and checks and
other valuable papers which the
yeggs deemed worthless to them were
found short distance south of the
grocery companys store Monday
morning, one of the drawers of the
safe being found just east of the
railroad track and the other among
a pile Of logs in Mayes' saw mill
yards, with papers scattered heller
SHELTER,
The noise of the explosion was
heard by Messrs. J. |. Bell, the night
Waterman at the /. G. station, and
Hayes Walk, Waterman at the Chur-
chill compress nearby, and the alarm
was turned in.
A message was sent to Dyersburg
for the bloodhounds there. The burg
lars evidently boarded a freight
train which left here about 4:30
o'clock the same morning. On the
way to Covington the hounds were
taken off at Ripley, where the burg
lars were supposed to have left the
rods of the train where they were
riding. They made a slight detour
and returned to the railroad, show
ing evidently that they reboarded
the train on which they left here.
The hounds, upon reaching Gov
ington, were placed on the trail and
ran it east of the railroad tracks and
to the saw1nill yards, where the safe
drawers were opened, and then north
to the oil mill yards, where the yeggs
evidently boarded the freight train.

u. S. ARMY CHAPLAIN AT
METHODIST CHURCH SUNDAY

Mai. John A. Randolph, senior
chaplain of the United States army,
addressed the First Methodist Church
congregations in both the morning
and evening services last Sunday.
Mai. Randolph was formerly a
member Of the Mississippi conference,
to which Rev. r. A. Clark, Of this
city, belonged before being trans
ferred to the Memphis conference,
and the two men have been lifelong
friends.
At the morning service Maj Ram
dolph delivered an excellent sermon,
emphasizing the sanctity and impor-
lance of the home, and of the prac-
tical application of religion in our
country.
At the evening service he gave a
mastery address on his experiences
during the six months of action he
saw in the late war. Humor and pa
thos were blended in incidents from
life-and death. After having seen
the fighting in the Argonne and at
other points along the American line,
Maj. Randolph was recalled to Paris,
where for the last several months
of the war, he was commandant, with
the rank designated, of the school
for chaplains which the government
had him establish in that place.
1t is interesting to note that all
argument along the line of dogma or
theology were assiduously removed
from the course Of training, minister,
priest and rabbi being instructed
along other and more practical lines
those of first aid, physical exercis-
es and endurance tests, much similar
to those undergone by the soldiers
themselves. OF these and many other
instructive things Maj Randolph
spoke, holding the attention and ex-
citing the laughter ana toars OF large
audiences at both SER ss.

FLU MAY COME BACK.

It is we'll to have IN mind that cpl
denies of the fiu may follow each
other.
At the Great Lakes naval training
station this fact is urged upon the
attention of the boys by the lieuten-
ant commander, the senior medical
officer Owen J. Mink.
Incidentally, here are the precau-
lions at the naval training camp:
DON'T get your feet wet. Pre-
vent this by wearing boots and hav-
ing leaky shoes repaired.
DON'T go out in the cold air while
perspiring freely. Put ON your pea
coat and cool OF gradually.
DON'T wear wet clothes. Put
on dry clothing after drenching
and thus avoid chilling.
DON'T 60 about nights unless
your reasons warrant the risk. Street
cars and trains are overheated and
chilling results when the doors are
opened at each station.

ALL BROTHER HAD NOTICED

After all, it's hard to figure out
correctly the effect of the movies on
the child mind. 1t happened that
mother and sister had gone to a
concert and Il was up to father to
entertain little brother. age seven.
Father likes the movies-some of
them-so he thought that would
serve the purpose. OF course you
cannot tell much about a film by
the name or by the pictures out in
front either for that matter. But
father likes pictures of western life
and he thought the horses and
mountains might please brother. So
when he saw the poster of a cow
boy, in they went.
1t wasn't very good sort of pic
ture as TO theme. for it presented a
ruthless outlaw and his gang of rob-
bers. When a wagon train Of gold
seekers came across the desert he
not only refused to give them water,
but drove them off to perish of
thirst on the desert. And there al
SO q dance hall scene in the west.
Father had some misgivings as to his
choice of movie and wondered wheth-
er, at its close, his son would elect
to be the bold, bad bandit, or the
vice-enmeshed owner of the dance
hall and gambling hell. He said
nothing but anxiously awaited the
verdict.
When "The End" came brother
whispered:
Daddy, do you know who the
cowboy looks like?"
mo, brother. Who?"
"Our milkman," was the reply.
The father need not have wor-
ried over the possible bad effect of
movies on his little son.
