Every one is singing it?the popular
new song. "Semi Me Away With

girls who are bidding them good-bye:

Where the flag waves over all.
Though I love you so. it is time to go, I
And a soldier in me you'll find, j
When on land and see, they need boys
like me,
You would not have me stay behind.
CHORUS.
Send me away with a smile, little girl,
Brush the tears from your eyes of
brown;
It's all for the best, and I'm off with
the rest
Of the boys from my own home
town.
It may be forever we part, little girl,
And it may be for only a while;
But if fight, dear,' we must, in our
Maker we trust,
So send me away with a smile.
When I leave you, dear give me

And 'mid shot and shell I'll remember

You've the heart of a soldier, too,
And that through this war I am lighting

My country and my home and you.
The city authorities are to be congratulated
upon the appearance of the
streets here last Saturday. In honor
of the coming of the many visitors
on that day Mayor Wharton had the
streets clean and attractive, and the
result was most pleasing.
In the speech made by Hon. David
R. Coker Saturday, told the story of a
citizen of this country, captured when
a German submarine torpedoed his
ship and who was tortured to the
death for refusing to say "God bless
the kaiser," but would say each time,
"God bless Uncle Sam." Be it remembered
that this happened before this
country declared that a state of war
existed. It has been said time and
time again: The reason we are in
war is that Germany made war on us.
We had no choice in the matter.
The city authorities have had sign
posts erected at each intersection of
cross streets with Main street from
the Peoples Supply Co. to the court
house. All vehicles must he driven to
the right. It is a very great safeguard
to the public, although it may
take the public some time to get used
to the enforcement of the law. During
the past few weeks some verv
near accidents have transpired.
With the enforcement of the law requiring
everybody to drive to the
right, it is almost impossible to have
a collision at one of these congested
corners. It is to be hoped that the
public will cooperate with the city officials
in this new move. It is to the
advantage of all that there be such
enforcement.
Mr. David R. Coker, in his speech
here last Saturday made the statement
that the German nation, in their
prosecution of the war has thrown
aside every moral and religious code
and are acting upon the principle that
might makes right. We have long
i
believed that the great trouble has
been the absence of any moral basis
in the make-up of the German mind.
They have builded a magnificent machine.
They have outstripped all the
world in the development of material
resources. But here, as always, they
j will find that failure is the ultimate
| outcome. The sure foundation of a
: nation, as well as of the individual
j character, is moral first. There must
be more than trained animals. There
1 must be more than material power
in the life of the nation that endures,
j The mighty throne of Germany is going
to fall. When the wreckage is
i cleared, it will be found that the element
lacking was moral.
REI) CROSS NOT NEUTRAL.
But Wounded Germans Will Not Be
Neglected.
Washington, D. C., Aug. 11.?Many
, questions have arisen as to the attitude
of the American Red Cross to,
ward Germans wounded on the battle!
field, and also toward Americans of
German origin affiliating themselves
\ with Red Cross hospital units going
abroad. To make clear the attitude
of the Red Cross, Henry P. Davison,
i chairman of the war council, authorizes
the following statement:
When war was declared between the
United States and Germany the neutrality
of the American Red Cross of
course ended automatically. The
American Red Cross can cooperate
only behind the lines of the armies of
the United States and its allies.
But the Red Cross knows no such
thing as the nationality of a wounded
man. Any wounded enemy turned over
to the care of the American Red Cross
will receive as kindly treatment as any
friend.
The Red Cross will not only extend
every aid and comfort to the armies
of America and its allies, but it will
assist in every possible way the sick,
wounded and afflicted among the
civilian populations among our allied
countries. This is in conformity with
the practice of the Red Cross Society
in every country.
As to the policy of the Red Cross
in this country toward those of German
origin:
The Red Cross knows no difference
and makes no distinction between any
American citizen.
In so far as base hospital units are
concerned, the Red Cross equips and
enlists the personnel of those to be
sent to Europe to operate not only
with our own armies, but with those
of our allies. Once enlisted and mustered
"into service, these units become
part the-arrtiy of the United State*,
and there is of course no discrimination
by the Red Cross or the American
army against any loyal American
citizen, no matter of what national
origin.
Our allies in Europe, however, have
requested the American State Department
not to permit persons born in
enemy countries, or of parents born in
an enemy country, to travel as civilians
in any of the Allied countries.
Representations, however, have been
made by the Red Cross, which it is
hoped will ultimately prove effective,
whereby loyal American citizens on
Red Cross service may be exempted
from the operation of this rule, no
matter what the country of their origin.
The Red Cross wants it clearly understood
that it welcomes the cooperation
of every loyal American, and that
it does not regard that loyalty as
measured by the country of his origin.
PEACE WITHOUT PUNISHMENT
PREMIUM UPON CRIME
The more desperate Germany's
plight becomes the more bluff it will
put. up; the more it offers peace on
its own terms, the more the traitors
in congress who represent Germany
, and not the United States will perjure
themselves and work against this
country and for Germany.
The sentimental neurotic degenerates
among women who flood a
murderer's prison cell with flowers
and scented notes will have many imitators
who will seek to save Germany,
the international rapist and murderer,
from just punishment for its crimes.
Millions of men have been killed,
murdered, because of Germany's fight
to conquer the world; hundreds of
thousands of women have been outraged
by her brutal officers and privates;
innocent babies have died in
numbers too great to be recorded;
fathers and mothers and wives have
gone to untimely graves in the awful
agony of suffering through the sufferings
of their loved ones. Hut weakminded
degenerates, men and women,
lea ?y uermany s lecnerous traitors
to America and to civilization, will
struggle to save Germany from defeat
and punishment.
Let such people he branded now as
the accomplices of the rapists and the
murderers, the favored friends of barbarism
run rampant; and let every
honest woman and decent man forever
shun and ostrasize every degenerate
man or woman who under the false
cry of peace joins in the effort to save
Germany from paying the full penalty
of its Hell-born and Hell-guided work.
?Manufacaturers Record.
The man who keeps on until he gets
what he goes after is a wonder; so
many start out after the bacon, and
come back with the rinds.
Anyone can find fault with pie, puddin'
or pemmican; the pinch is that it
takes such a smart man to cook better!

gium, Aup. 20.?British tanks scored in*
another triumph in the capture of im- a"
portant German positions yesterday
morninp in the neiphborhood of the re!
Ypres-I'oelcapelle road, north of St.
Julien. It was a tank show almost
from start to finish, and the infantry t'e
in this case played the part of super- elt
numeraries in support of the leading
actors, while larpe numbers of the ??!
enemy troops added a final melodramatic
touch by surrendering a^
abruptly or fleeinp in terror as the ,
heavy leads lumbered onto the stage .
and "reached for their shooting irons." stl
As recorded in the official communica- ?n
tion, the British captured German defenses
along a mile front to a depth a
of 500 yards. Among the strongholds
occupied were the famous Triangle,
Hibau and Cockcroft farms, the sites
of exceedingly strong concrete and r
steel machine gun redoubts that men- j
aced the infantry advance.
It was dawn when the tanks linea ,
up and waited for the signal to "go^ ^

tanks than to the infantry in the ai

looking for all the world like great ,
dragons that had rolled out from one
of Hans Andersen's conceptions into 1
the gray morning light that shroud- cei
ed this battlefield in the "Cockpit of '"J1
Europe." ?
Behind them came the infantry, ^
ready to do the cleaning up of the .
remaining enemy after the tanks had
finished their part. But there was
little for the infantry to do except ^
assemble and care for the prisoners
as the tanks progressed. There was
hard fighting at several positions, such .
as the three redoubts mentioned, but za
it was always brief. .
The tanks wheeled into position ar.d ea
turned a heavy fire on the fortifiea- .
tions, and the Germans were killed
or else they surrendered. The eneny jn
casualties were heavy. Great numbers ^
of Germans were seen fleeing ternr- j)n
stricken as the tanks appeard in he ^
distance, and a considerable nunver
threw down their arms and surrendered
without offering resistance. 0(M

1 our allies. Millions and hundreds
millions of acres of^land are availe
for the enlarged production of
dstuffs, and much of this land can
utilized as rapidly as labor can be
bilized and facilities prepared for
ining it up for cultivation.
Millions of acres of the richest land
earth are being drained and made
dy for the plow.
)ne hundred million acres of cutir
timber land in the South are
tilable, and the owners are coming
their forces to bring about the
lization of these vast areas for the
tduction of grain and cotton and
s grazing of livestock.
This is a country of illimitable reirces.
The human mind can scarcegrasp

of the vast activities of the nation

It will take a little time for a full

of this nation to be understood

ler country on the face of the earth

jermany saw the trend of the Ai

its own land and ere it was too if
e to stem the world's demand for 5
nocracy. Germany, therefore,
,rted the war for the express pur- ~
<e of heating down this demand for u
erty, for crushing on its grave a
iversal structure of autocracy. In
ng this Germany broke loose from
moorings of right, of truth and of
