ARRIVES AT FRONT
! A British Port, June S.?On his lips
! a half surprised smile "Black Jack"

i gang-plank of an ocean steamer about

j ' Along the pier was lined a brilliant
I assemblage. Hundreds of eyes liter

t ure whose very step wrote history,
j Right at the foot of the gangway stood
' an army of noted personages, leading
! Britons and Americans, ready to ex
1 tend most solemn "committee wel
come." Each looked extremely tense,
as if rehearsing his little speech.
In the background the Welsh Fusil
1 iers stood at saiuie. ineir iauious
regimental band was playing the Star
1 Spangled Banner. Just as the full
tones that go with the words "land
of the free" floated forth, Major Gener
al John J. Pershing, commander-in
chief of the American expeditionary
force to France, set foot upon Eng
I lisli soil.
At the Front.
I Then came the .great formal pro

ments, inquiries. John J. Pershing,
the "fighting soldier" who despises
"red tape"' or 'ornamental" soldiery,
made everybody feel at home with his
I winning smile and his hearty grip.
As for himself, there was a distinct
feeling in the hearts of those who
watched this scene closely that he
will not feel really "at home" until
he's at the front with his division.
That half surprised smile rarely
! left his lips throughout the ceremony
of welcome. He didn't seem to un
derstand why all this russ was Deing
made. His very gesture seemed to
say, "I am merely a soldier going to
my post." A newspaper man told him
the people had no inkling yet even of
his departure from the United States.
"Why, I thought the whole world
knew about it," was his astonishing
?onlv
Having found an opening, the re
porters, English, French and Ameri
can, closed a ring around him from
which there was no escaping, until he
had made a statement. For a moment
he set his teeth and gazed out into
the bay where three American de
stroyers that had convoyed his ships
were anchored. He lookec every inch
a fihting men. Being that he is a re
luctant speaker he seemed to be re
flecting on the briefest possible way
to sum up what he wanted to say. Here
is the statement -

PATRIOTIC SUNDAY. JULY i. (
?O?
I
'Patriotic Sunday", is to be observ-!
ed throughout the United States in the
Sunday Schools of all denominations;
on Sunday, July 1. It is peculiarly;
firtino' that this dav* was chosen aa.
j "aatriotic Sunday'' by the Internation-1
a) Sunday School Association in co-;
j operation with the leaders of the va
I lious denominations, as it comes in
j the same week as our great national
[holiday on July 4. Sunday school;
leaders can make the day one of real
, benefit to the Sunday Schools by |
| quick and aggressive action. "Pa-;
I triotic Sunday" furnished an oppor-|
tunity of impressing men and women!
everywhere with the idea that the'
n j - n^i ? i rr i: 1
; ouuuav otiiuui is au cucv^n'c \
| for the promotion of the best things i
j in our community life.
President Woodrow Wilson has is-!
j sued the following proclamation,
calling on the Sunday School people
to observe the day: j
I
"To the Officers, Teachers and
! Scholars of the Sunday Schools of
I the United States of America: j
"The present insistent call of our
I beloved country must be heard and'
imswprpd hv ftverv citizen of the
j United States in proportion to his or,
j her ability to maintain the national1
I power and honor. Many citizens will
j render their aid by force of arms on '
the battlefields while others will make j
! the nation strong by their patriotic;
gifts and support to the common'
J cause. It is therefore highly fitting
that the Sunday schools of the nation
should observe a special patriotic day'
| and on this occasion should make a,
| special contribution to the American
I Red Cross for the alleviation of the
' suffering entailed by the prosecution.
I of the present war. It is my earnest
hope that your generosity may be un-j
I -stinted in ttus, tiie nour or uie na
tion's need, and that this special day!
j may mean much to you in the under-1
standing of the cause for which our:
beloved land now contends.
| "(Signed) j
"WOODROW WILSON." (
A number of the governors of
states and territories in the United
States have also issued proclamations
! calling on the Sunday School workers
j to observe the day. j
j The purpose of the day is to express
gratitude to God. for our Nation; to .
j arouse feelings of loyalty and devo
tion to the Nation; to enlist all Sun
I day School members in some form
of patriotic service; to enroll as mem
bers of the Red Cross Society the of-' ,
ficers, teachers and as many others
in the Sunday School who wish to
join, and to make an offering toward;
the Red Cross Society or other war re-!
i lief agency, or Army Y. M. C. A.

It is suggested that the following'
items might be included in the pro-1
gram on "Patriotic Sunday:" Nation-[
al patriotic songs; patriotic messages!

men who will serve as Red Cross!

GOVERNMENT TO RUSH
ERECTION OF CANTONMENTS
By Jesse S. CottrelL
Washington, D. C., June 8.?The gov
ernment intends to rush the location
and the erection of 13 additionol can
tonments aside from those already
designated at Atlanta, Ga.; Ayers,
Mass., and Wrightstown, N. J., is in
dicated by orders issued today for 14
captains of the quartermaster depart
ment to report at once to Col. Isaac
C. Littell, quartermasters corps,
Washington, for duty in connection
with'the building of these canton
ments. Sites at various places in the
department of the southeast as well
as other sections of the country are
now being considered including Mem
phis, Birmingham, Montgomery, Col
umbia, Augusta, Macon, Anniston,
Nashviile, Tuscaloosa, Knoxville,
Greensville and Spartanburg, Little
Rock and other places with a view
of locating at least six in the south
east.
At Cost
An important announcement made
today is that these wooden cities In
each of which 40 thousand men win
be trained for oversea duty are to be
built by leading conractors who will
be paid the actual cost of construction,
plus 7 per cent, which will be a profit
of three and a half per cent to the
contractor, the interest paid on a lib-,
erty bond. As there are only one
hundred and fifty cities in the United
States larger than one of these can-i
tonments will be in point of popula
tion the rivalry for securing them is
intense.
Officers ordered here are Captains

HOW A SUPPER OF ROIST
i>in wis r.i.Tir.T sipnirirn
Mr. Frank Sample ,brother of our
county supervisor, crated a pig one
night last week, thinking to kill it
the next day for a feast to which b?
had invited some friends. They were
going to have a fine feed on juicy pork
and other nice things which go with
tender pig meat. He and his friends
were looking forward to an enjoyable
time. The next morning when Mr. j
Sample went to look after his pig the |
pig was gone. In its stead there was
a dog, securely nailed in the crate.1
just as the pig had been left the night
before. What\ Mr. Sample thought
when he looked at that old hound
dog wouldn't sound like music on a
grafaphone if expressed in writing.
The man who would swap aa old dog
for a fat little pig in the dead hours of
the night, %vhen the owner of the pig
was unconscious of the change, ought
to be sent to France and put m che
front row on the firing line where he
cmilH he shot at. or sent over into
Mexico to let Villa get a chance at,
him. If he is not available for either j
Europe or Mexico, we hope Deputy j
Sheriff Dorroh may have a chance to
run him down and turn him over as a |
case for the chaingang. Something j
should be done to the fellow who
would make a man, just waking from j
sleep, wonder how a pig could be J
changed into a dog over night, like;
they used to tell about in fairy tales.

FUTURE PEACE OF WORLD
AMERICA'S MAIN WAR AIM
Wilson Tells Russians of Her Stand?
United States Can't Consent to
Imperial Dominance Which
Threatens War.
Washington. June 9.?-President Wil
son, in a communication to tne new
government of Russia has made plain
the war aims of the United States and
its position on 'no annexations; no
indemnities."
"Xo territory must change hands
except for the purpose of securing
those who inhabit it a fair chance of
life and liberty," says the communica
tion.
"No indemnities must he insisted
on except those that constitute pay
ment for manifest wrongs done. i
' ;\o readjustments or power must
be made except such as will tend to
secure the future peace of the world
and the future welfare and happiness
of its_ people."
In unmistakable terms President
Wilson declares against Germany's
proposal to restore the "status quo"
before the war.
"It was the status quo ante out of
which this iniquitous war issued
forth," he says, "the power of the iin
i perial German government witnm tne
empire and its widespread domination
and influence outside or that em
pire.
5Iust PreTent New War.
"That status must be altered in such
fashion as to prevent any such hideous
thing from ever happening again."
^The president's communication was
delivered to the Russian government
by Ambassador Francis at Petrograd.
In full it is as follows:
"In view of the approaching visit
of the American delegation to Rus
cio ovnvocc tlio Hopti frionrlshin nf
the American people for the people
of Russia and discuss the best and
most practical means of cooveration
between the two peoples in carrying
the present struggle for the freedom
of all peoples to a successful con
summation, it seems opportune and
| appropriate that I should state again
j in the light of this new partnership
the object the United States has had
in mina in entering tne war. mose
objects have been vej? much becloud
ed during the past few weeks by
mistaken and misleading statements
and the issues at stake are too mo
mentous, too tremendous, too signifi
cant for the whole human race to per
mit any misinterpretations or misun
derstandings, however slight, to re
main uncorrected for a moment.
"The war has begun to go against
uermany ana in tneir desperate ae
sire to escape the inevitable defeat
those who are in authority in Ger
many are using every possible instru
mentality, are making use even of
the influence of groups and parties
among their own subjects to whom
they have never been just or fair or
even tolerant to promote a propogan
da on both sides of the sea which
will preserve for them their influence
at home and their power anroad, to
the undoing of the very men they are
using.
No Ground for Mistake.
"The position of America in this
war is so clearly avowed that no man
nart Ho ovpnsori fnr mi <5 fa kino- iti She
seeks no material profit or aggran
dizement of any kind. She is fighting
for no advantage or selfish object of
her own but for the liberation of peo

of autocratic force. The ruling class

profess a like liberality and justice
of purpose but only to preserve the

and their private projects of power

and beyond. Government after gov
ernment has by their influence, with
out open conquest of its territory,'
been linked together in a net of in
trigue directed against nothing less
than the peace and liberty of the
world. The meshes of that intrigue
must be broken but can not be broken
unless wrongs already done are un-;
done; and adequate measures must be
taken to prevent it from ever again
being rewoven or repaired.
"Of course the imperial German

It was definitely declared at tne

On the other hand, it was asserted,

lists which would result from such a

Vjut they must follow a principle
