Sale of War Stamps in County Has
Been Most Gratifying, anil Allot?
ment Believed to Have Been Sold.
The War Savings Stamp drive in
[Tazewell County, according to infor?
mation yesterday afternoon, is pro?
gressing satisfactorily, and will no
doubt be over the top, when one or
two precincts in the county hove re?
ported. The campaign is still being
carried on in several parts of tho
county.
B. o. Crockett, assistant director,
who has had charge of the campaign,
feels very much gratified at the fino
showing the county hus made, and
the excellent work done by the com?
mittees. If possible, the lists of the
subscribers will bo published in this
paper, beginning next week. These
lists will show who have bought tht
stamps and who have not.
have you had your bonds
converted yet?
The Tazcwell banks call especial
attention to the fact that the time
limit for the conversion of bonds of
the first and second Liberty Loans
will, soon expire. The Bank of Clinch
Valley and the Tazewell National
Banks have carried an advertisement
in this paper for the past month call?
ing the attention of the people to
the fact that bonds should be pre?
sented to them for conversion. If
you fail to do this you lose the in?
creased interest rate. Attend to this
matter at once.
USE YOUR CARS NEXT SUNDAY.
No one need hesitate to use their
car next Sunday to attend Liberty
Loan meetings. On the other hand,
it is your duty to do so?your patri?
otic duty.
If necessary to use your cars in
order to reach the speaking place in
your community, do not hesitate to
do so. A Liberty Loan meeting will
be held within reach of everybody
next Sunday, and every man, woman
and child should attend, whether they
expect to buy bonds or not. Use
your car next Sunday.
north Tazewell "over the
top.'
The Town Council of North Taze?
well, at a recent meeting, found that
there was a balance in the treasury
of $1,000. The question came up,
"What shall we do with it?' Some?
body said, 'Buy War Savings Cer?
tificates," and without discussion, or
at least very little, it was so ordered.
So far as known here, North Taze?
well is the only town in this county
or in this section to do such a thing.
The municipality of North Tazewell
has set. a good example, and in this
action put their town clear over the
top.
BRITISH TAKE NAZARETH; 18,000
PRISONERS, 129 GUNS.
The ancient city of Galilee, where
Joseph plied his humble trade as a
carponter and where Christ spent His
childhood, was delivered from the ter?
rible Turk on Friday, when Irish, En?
glish and Austrailian horsemen dash?
ed into it and past it in one of the
most far-flung and brilliant encircling
operations of all military history.
Eighteen thousand Turnks were
trapped like so many rats. One hun?
dred and twenty guns were captured.
What remains of the Turkish Nab?
lus army has been cut off from all av?
enues of escape save for a narrow
stretch along the Jordan east of Bei
san, which city also is in British
hands.
Many thousands of Ottomans were
mowed down as they fled in panic be?
fore General Sir Edmund Allanby's
cavalry. Many thousands more feli
as they fled straight into the mount?
ed columns closing in on them.
Occupation of Nazareth marks a
British advance of seventy-five miles
since the fall of Jerusalem. The op?
eration culminating in the glorious
victory which more than settles the
British account with the Turks for
the Kut-ol-Amura defeat, were enr
ried out along a total of fully 150
miles.
"Traversing the field of Armaged?
don," says Allenby's report of Fri?
day, received here today, "wo occupied
Nazareth, Afule and Beisar, collect?
ing tho disorganized masses of the
enemy troops and transport from the
south.
I "All of the enemy's avenues of es?
cape save tho Jordon fords between
Beeisan and Jisrel-Damieh have been
closed."
And on the following day, Allanby
the model crusader was able to tele?
graph to the war office:
"We hold Nazareth and the passag?
es of the Jordon. Eighteen thousand
prisoners, 120 guns counted."

LIBERTY LOAN DIRECTIONS AND
SUGGESTIONS.
Tazewell County's allotment has
not been mndc at this writing. The
amount will be about twice that of
the Third Loan. This means that
the man who bought a one hundred
dollar bond last time must buy two
one hundred dollar bonds this time,
or find a buyer for the other 100-dol
lar bond.
You can pay in instalments if you
choose, but pay cash if possible, even
if you have to borrow the money, in
order to save the banks extra trouble
and expense.

DR. CLAFLIN AT THE METHOD?
IST CHURCH.
Dr. Clullin, the representative of
the Anti-Saloon League of America,
made a strong address in thu Mthod
ist church last Sunday night. There
was n large audience.
The speaker presentod his cause in
an unique and striking manner by
comparing thu war in Kurope and the
"war" in this country against liq?
uors.
Pint, ns to the cost in money. The
cost of the war to America, for the
next year, he said, if it continues, will
be between thirty and forty billion
dollars; not "millions," mind you, but
billions, nn inconceivable amount. The
cost of liquor in America for the last
25 years, interest nt 0 per cent com?
pounded, amounts to more than 150
billion dollars.
Second, as to cost in human life.
If the American army numbers as
many as two million men next year,
the number of fatalities, he said, will
he about. 111,000 men.
The number of deaths, nccrding to
the best authorities, due to liquor,
reaches the enormous amount of 500,
000 a year. That is to nay, about fivb
limes as many men are slain by booze
yearly as arc slain in battle in the
greatest war of history. These loll?
ing facts made a deep impression on
the audience.
At the close pledges were asked
for the work and the sum of $150.00
was pledged, to be paid in monthly
instalments. At I'oeahontns, $257.00
was given. At Riehlands on Mondnv
night, $510.00. Dr. Claflin was dis?
appointed keenly in the amount of
Tazewell's subscription.

YOUR UNCLE SAM
SHOWSjEM HOW
Preparations For Taking the St.
Alihicl Salient by Americans
Surpasses All Powers of
Imagination.
The extensive preparations made by
tliu American forces for tho battle of
St. Mihicl salient, in which Pershing'a
forces won such a signal victory, arc
so stupendous that the mind ev.n hard?
ly grasp it. Some idea of the immen?
sity of the undertaking is gathered
from the following facts.
There was issued 100,000 detail
maps covering in minutest detail thu
character of the terrain of the St.
Mihicl salient, including natural de?
fenses and telling how each was
maimed and by what enemy units.
These niaps were corrected in some
instances as Into as the day before
the battle opened, and were supple?
mented by 30,000 photographs. These
wore for the guidance of the artillery
nod infantry mid were scattered
umoug the officers of thu whole army
u few hours before tho zero hour.
6,000 Telephones at Work.
Fivu thousand miles of wire was
laid on the St. Mihicl salient nild on
ita borders before the attack und Im
mediutely after the Americans ud
vanced 0,000 (elophoue instruments
were connected with these wires
throughout the battle zone.
When the battle opened on the
morning of Sept. 12 trucks Blurted
northward at a speed of seven miles
uu hour, unreeling wires across No
Man's Land until they reached points
where the reels had to he carried by
signal Corps men afoot.
Such work as this made it possible
in the recent battle for American of?
ficers whose troops bad Hanked the
foe's trenches to telephone back, in
forming the artillery of the exact lo?
cation of the enemy trenches and in
a few minutes bringing a deluge of
metal on the buche.
Telephone squads carried these
lines up to the lighting front on
Thursday morning and soon in the
triangular battleground there was u
telephone system in operation thai,
would have been adequate to handle
the telephone business of u city of
100,000, and it was going at lop ef?
ficiency. The branch lines were con?
nected with the mein axis, which was
established through (he middle of the
salient. Ten thousand men were bus?
ily engaged in operating the system.
Mnny of the phone exchanges were on
wheels.
Several thousand carrior pigeons
supplemented the Signal Corps.
We captured a tremendous quan?
tity of German signal supplies, fitlo
miles of German Wire, mnny switch?
boards, one radio truck and numerous
hatte l ies.
In the midst of the battle other
Signal Corps men look more than 10,
000 feel of moving film depicting war
scenes and many thousands of pho?
tographs.
Extensive hospital facilities were
arranged, including thirty-live hos?
pital trains, 10,000 beds in tho ad?
vanced areas, and 66,000 others fur?
ther back. Happily, less than 10 pel
cent of the hospital facilities were
1 needed, and therefore our surgeons
and nurses were encablcd to give the
I fi;.cst care to our wounded and sick,
an I every attention to the German
wounded.
Used 1,500,000 Shells.
In the course of the operation our
guns fired approximately 1,500,000
shells.
Forty-eight hundred trucks carried
men and supplies into the lir.es. They
were assisted by miles of American
railroads of standard and narrow
gauge and the cars were pulled by
engines marked "U. S. A."
In addition to restoring this big
territory to rFance with an unprece?
dented small force the Americans
liberated two railroads and a canal
from the menace of the bocho artil?
lery. We took 15,IHR prisoners and
the following spoils: One hundred and
eleven guns, including twenty-five
of large caliber and seventy-eight
Austrian 77s; forty-two trei.cn inoi
tara, two hundred machine guns, thir?
teen trucks, including an ambulance;
thirty box enrs, four locomotives, five
caissons, forty wagons, and thirty-six
narrow gauge errs.
The quantity of captured munitions
is still unestimuted, but one spot alonu
yielded 4,000 shells for 77s and 860,
000 rounds of rille cartridges. Twelve
thousand hand grenades were found in
one dump. Four ammunition dumps
were taken, but the quantity of mu?
nitions in them is as yet uneslimated.
Lnrge quantities of food, clothing,
trinkets and many documents bring
up a total which makes our first ven?

TWO NARROW ESCAPES.
Two men narrowly escaped being
run down by automobiles hist week,
on the Main Street. The parties
alighting from the Street car walk?
ed almost in front of an auto whi'dl
was whizzing by the standing r.trccl
car. In all cities and well regulated
towns an ordinance forbids automo?
biles to pass by a standing car. The
auto must stop still and wait until
the car starts and the track is clear,
so as to avoid accidents.
The Clinch Valley .Mows hns called
attention to this matter more than
once. The Town Council should take
some notice of the danger and the
possibility of injury referred to. The
streets of this town are narrow and
the wonder is that accidents have not
already occurred. Whether the coun?
cil ucts or not, let all auto drivers
slack up or stop entirely when pass?

ping. If will also give out needed in?
formation and make announcements
to the papers.

where these materials may. bo re?
ceived, not only from its own mem?
bers, but from the members of other
organizations und the general pub
lie. Materials collected will bo for?
warded to collection centers as ex?
plained.
Junior Red Cross members, Boy
Scouts and Camp Fire Girls should
bo asked to muku a houso to house
canvass for those materials and this
should bo repeated from week to
week. They should also be asked lo
make every eirort. to collect all nuts
lying on the ground. If possible, tho
edible nuts should be opened t>a the

ed.
Boy Scouts or others should call
regularly at fruit markets or stands
to collect discarded fruits from
which the pits can be extructed.
Department stores, schools, banks
and other institutions should be urg?

Great emphasis should bo pluced on
the fact that this is truly an emer?

the whole country should be eager to
