after iny sickness Is purely a matter of
nourishment, whether the attack was
an ordinary cold or severe illness; the
-weakened forces cannot repulse disease
perms, and this is why a relapse is so
often fatal or why chronic weakness often
iollows sickness.
Restoring strength to millions of people
for forty years has proven the real need
for taking Scott's Emulsion after any
sickness; nothing equals it nothing
compares with it. Its pure, medicinal
nourishment, free from alcohol or opiates,
promptly creates rich blood, strengthens
the nerves and lungs to avert tuberculosis.
Corinne Brasneld Wheeler.
Once again, and in His infinite wis
dom, He Las seen fit to gather unto
Himself one of the best and purest of
our members in the death of our dear
sister and co-worker, Mrs. Corinne Bras
field Wheeler. She was born July 4,
1894. Died July 10, 1914, about 8
o'clock p. m. She was united in mar
riage to Mr. Frank Wheeler January 4,
1914. Death has taken from earth one
who was ever faithful in the discharge
ol her duties jn all branches of church
work. She joined the Christian Church
at Mount Hermon when a small child
and lived a beautiful Christian life until
tLo cad. We believe when she met th
King of Glory she feared no evil, for
she leaned on His everlasting arm, and
be piloted her safelyito the shore of the
beautiful beyond where sorrows and
good-byes are unknown.
As we look out upon the receding sun
we think how typical is the going out of
this precious, sweet girl's life gone to
shine in another world, yet casting back
its golden rays of a shining influence.
She was conscious until the end came
and there was never witnessed a grander
display of simple trusting faith than
that exhibited by her, in the trying
time of her translation. She, who had
walked so close to her Saviour in life,
was not forsaken by Him as she
"walked through the valley of the
shadow of death," and however dark
the shadows, and however bitter the cup
of sorrow may be, it is mollified by the
remembrance of her noble life, her
unwavering faith in the hour of death
and her triumphant entrance in the
rest that remains for the people of God.
The beautiful and impressive cere
mony was conducted at Mount Hermon
church by Elder J. E. Stuart, of Union
City, Tenn., after, which the remains
were conveyed to the Hickman Ceme
tery where a large concourse of sorrow
ing friends and relatives had met to pay
the last sad tribute to a good woman
gone. ,
For the sorrowing, heart broken bus-
band, father, mother, brother and sisters
ur prayers go up in tender sympathy,
and may they ever remember that
"earth has no sorrows that Heaven can
not heal. A Friend.

Siege of Germany.
With England and France command
ing the main news sources it will be
decidedly unwise to take what they
issue without critical examination or
to suppose that they are not conceal
ing matters of greater moment than
they disclose. The communication is
sued Saturday from Paris wore an air
of refreshing candor. The plain ob
ject was declared to be to hold the
French people patient and steady dur
ing a period of eight days during hich
no decisive news was to be expected.
During this time, it was given out, a
battle between millions of men might
be fought along the entire Franco-German,
Franco-Luxemburg and Belgian
front, extending from Maastricht in
Holland to Basel in Switzerland, a dis
tance of about 266 miles or 400 kilo
meters. The intimation was that there
would be almost simultaneous attacks
by both parties and that partial sue
cesses were to be expected for the arms
of each; that the line would be extend
ed in other words both into Germauy
and the territory of the allies. As
result of the ensuing concentrations
one side or the other would be in a po
sition to hurl a superior column against
a vulnerable part of the .enemy's lines
to break them in two and to form plans
for the second stage of the war.
It is possible that the concentration
of troops has proceeded to a point wber(
such apparent candor and straightfor
wardness is possible without disclosing
'any information that the enemy does
not already possess. It is also possible
that the communication is designed
more for German than for French con
sumption and that, instead of an en
gagement along the whole front the
FrAnnh arn nrenarinsr an overpowering
-
force to operate at a single point.
A battle line of 266 miles, long as it
seem, is a logical development of war
with all the available forces of great
nations. The Kuss-Japanese war, with
far smaller numbers, developed battle
lines of 90 to 110 miles toward the end
of the struggle
In a sense the present war has brought
out a little larger conception.
Lord Curzon taught England to con
ceive of the Indian empire as a mon
strnim fortress with fortifications and
extended glacis beyond the surround
ing high mountains of the north.
The war against Germany and Aus
tria ia assuming the character of a siege
of those two countries. ak
They are surrounded by the Adriatic,
North and Baltic seas and countries that
are either hostile or neutral. The outer
seas are closed to their naval squadrons.
On land there are indications of con
certed action by Kussia, Servia and the
western allies. It is possible that the
latter have deferred and will still further
defer a general attack until Russia will
be able to swarm over the German and
Austrian frontiers.
Germany has a complete and Austria
a fair system of strategic railways which
enable them to throw troops from one
frontier to another. Jt would be to the
advantage of the western allies to be as
sured that Germany and Austria are
completely occupied ic the east at the
same time that the battle rages in the
west. The London-Paris information
that Germany has all its first line reg
ular forces concentrated in the west and
only reservists mobilized to protect the
RussoGerman frontier may afford the
clue to the delay in the beginning of
operations on a large scale. It is pos
sible that they are waiting for word
from Russia.
The situation in the west, at the time
the French have set for the beginning
of the great 266 mile long battle, has
been thus summarized in the dispatches
from England, Belgium and France:
The Germans continue to threaten
Brussels and Antwerp from the direction
of Liege and Maastricht and appear to
hold a line approaching Dinant, on the
Meuse, twenty miles south of Namur;
ipproaching if not including Huy on
the Meuse, between Liege and Namur;
and extending northward at least to
Hasselt, twenty miles west of Maastricht.
The Germans seem to control the great
er part of Belgian Luxemburg, a rug
ged and not very fertile country, and
the whoi$ of the Grand Duchy of Luxem
burg. From Esch iu the latter country
they have possessed themselves, it
seems, of the strong and supposedly
fortified position of Longwy, in France.
South of this place the French seem to
have taken the initiative and to have pos
sessed themselves of several gateways
into Germany. They have maintained
their first gain, the road from Belfort
into Unner Alsace, which the French
say they control as far as Thann and a
line from that city southeastward to the
environs of Muhlhausen.
One of the most important French
successes seems to have been the occupa
tion of Saales, an important pass and
railhead, commanding a river and a rail-j
way hading to Strassburg. The latest
French bulletins claim possession of
Schirmeck ten miles further northeast
ward on this line. Saales is near the
most eastern projection of the French
frontier.
Another place against which the
French are said to have been operating
with success is Markirch. The French
line at this point reaches St. Croix and
threatens Scblestadt- on the main road
from Colmar to Strassburg.
The French'plans thus seem to be to
go around Metz, the nearest of the great
German fortresses, to the French front
ier, and to embrace concerted actions
between the army in Upper Alsace and
an army to be thrown across the line at
points between Strassburg and Colmar.
The fortresses of Colmar and Neu
Breisacbf in Upper Alsace would be
passed and neutralized, if not besieged.
If the French should then gain the
from Luneville - Avricourt t Rixingen,
they would have Strassburg also between
two armies. '
In short, if the French bulletins are
correct," we can only suppose that their
plans embrace a systematic reduction of
Alsace while holding the Germans in
check in Lorraine and in the north. If
their communication is really as candid
as it seems, they may even anticipate
successes of German arms in the region
about Metz and Longwy. The French
have, however, also penetrated Lor
raine by the Seille river, operating from
Nancy. The line at this point extends
five miles inland to Marsal. Knoxville

This five-reel film by the World Film
Co. was shown at the Francis Airdome
Monday night. It is one of the finest
achievements in the moving-picture line.
The entire company is constituted of the
best acting talent, and the title part of
Protea, an adventuress, is taken by one
of the most versatile and accomplished
actresses. The Eel is no less an artist.
It is a matter of intrigue and the spy
ing of Protea and her accomplice, the
Eel, to get a copy of thetreaty rela
tions between Slavonia and another na
tion, ana the way these people get
through with their many character dis
guises is seemidgly marvelous, while
the scenic and mechanical equipment
are ingenious and wonderful. Protea
and the Eel are not only actors but acro
bats and steeple chasers and most dar
ing of all the venturesome picture peo
ple. It is a great production.
