THE GREENEVILLE DAILY SUM. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1919. Expeditionary Force In Russia to Be Withdrawn WASHINGTON, Feb. 18. Amer ican and allied troops operating in north Russia will be withdrawn "at the earliest possible moment that weather conditions in the spring will permit."- To facilitate this move ment and improve lines of communi cation for the supply of the forces that have penetrated into the coun try President Wilson has approved the sending of two additional com panies of railroad troops to Archan gel. CHUCKEY On January 21st the spirit of J. W. Stanton winged its flight from earth to heaven. For the past six months he had been giving battle. It changed the "morn of laughter" into a "night of tears." Mr. Stan ton was 61 years of age. He joined the Baptist church at an early age, and proved to be a true and faith ful member until God called him. He was married to Miss Genevieve Maupin, April 14th 1906. They spent the larger part of their married life in Knoxville. Four years ago Mr. and Mrs. Stanton moved to their farm, at Peterstown, where they had a host of friends. He v always met his friends with a smile and kind word. He always looked on the brighter side of things, for his life was real and worth living. During his long sickness he never complain ed. His last words to his heart broken wife were: "I hate to leave you here alone, but I will be waiting for v'ou at the" Golden Gate," Our dear one Has gone. But, oh, abright er home awaits him. It is very hard to part with loved ones, but for some reason unknown to us, they are taken away. He was always ready and willing to lend a helping hand to his friends in any way he thought best. He will be greatly missed by his many friends and especially by his lonely wife, who! was so carefully cared for by his kind and loving acts. She has our deepest sympathy. May she look on the bright side and remem ber her loss is his gain; look forward to the day when they meet and sing around the throne of God. She will then not have to sit by. his side and see hi msuffer such agony and pain as was his last days with her. Fu neral services were conducted by Rev. Carter, after which her remains were laid to rest in the Pleasant Vale cemetery, there to rest until the great and final day. There is quite a lot of sickness in our community. The flu seems to be on the decline. Mrs. W. L. Davis is very ill at this writing. We wish her a speedy re covery. Mrs. J. W. Stanton spent last week with her friend, Mrs. E. Hall. . r In spite of the flu, the Pleasant Vale Sunday school missed only four Sundays. It has now opened up again. We hope the flu .will soon die out and every one will come out to Sunday school again. S. E. H. AT THE PRINCESS. TUESDAY Marion Davies in "The . Burden of Proof." WEDNESDAY William S. Hart in .

GREENLEE, FULLER DETAINLS OF DEATH OF ROWDY GENTRY Belgium, Dec. 17th, 1918. Mr. A. J, Gentry, Greeneville, Tenn., Dear Sir: Doubtless before this you have re ceived full particulars concerning the death of your son, Lieut. Rowdy Gentry, November 1st, at the Evacu ation Hospital, after he was wund ed in the Scheldt battle October 31st. I will write a word in addition be cause ever since I joined the regi ment in August, I have been more or less closely connected with your son and came to know him very well most of the time being in the same mess with him. I remember seeing him in the hard eight-day fight in the Argonne, where he recejved a sickness for awhile through gas, but where he fought so well he was recommended for pro' motion from the First Lieutenant I recall with pleasure, as we were bivouched at Oostroosbeke, October 29th, just before we made our night march to Waereghem, where our fight began the 31st, he came to the medical tent, where I was and show ing the silver bars that were marks of promotion. The doctors insisted that they pin them on his shoulders, which they did to his evident satisfaction. 1 am not see mm aner he was wounded, but about two weeks ago I stood by his grave in the well kept cemetery at Staden, with two of the officers who knew and loved him, and we spoke of the days that were so re cently passed when he was with us Though not inclined to be demon strative, Rowdy Gentry was naturally lovable a true friend, but most of all I know, you remember with pride., a true soldier who gave his life for his country and the world. May God's blessings be yours in your sorrow. Sincerely, ALEXANDER LEWIS.

Calomel loses you a day! You know what calomel is. It's mercury quiaksilver. Calomel is dangerous. It crashes into sour bile like dynamite cramping and sickening you. Calo mel attacks the bones and should never be put into your system. When you feel bilious, sluggish constipated and all knocked out and believe you need a done of dangerous calomel, just remember that your druggist sells for a few cents a large bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which is entirely vegetable and pleasant to take and is a perfect substitute for calomel. It 13 guaranteed to start your liver without stirring you up inside, and cannot salivate. Don't take calomel! It makes you sick the next day; it loses you a day'i work. Dodson's Liver Tone straight ens you right up and you feel great. Give it to the children because it is perfectly harmless and doesn't gripe New Armistice ; Stops Offensive of Hun In Poland PARIS, Feb, 18. Marshal Foch this afternoon informed the supreme council of the acceptance by the Germans of the conditions for a re newal of the armistice. Two notes were handed to Marshal Foch by Mathias Erzberger when the renewal of the armistice was taken up at Treves.. One note concerned the employment of the German mer cantile marine for various purposes while the other was longer and con tained several requests, including the release of German prisoners and the maintenance of the economic inter course between Germany and occu pied German territories. TREVES, Feb. 18. Under the new terms for the renewal of the ar mistice, as presented to the Germans by Marshal Foch, Germany must abandon all offensive movement against the Poles and also must pro hibit her troops from crossing the Russian frontier at a certain line. The line of demarcation between Germany and Poland is outlined as follows: East of Grosser Neudorf (southeast of Bromberg), south of Labischin, south of Scholdzisen north to Exin, (southwest of Brom berg), south of Sann, north to Czar- nickau (east of Kreuz), west to Birn baum and Bentschen (west of Posen) Wollstein, Lissa and north of Weirn- szow and thence along the frontier between Silesia and Poland. (This line of demarcation gives to Poland a considerable part of German Po sen). It was provided by the allied terms that the armistice must be renewed for an indeterminate period with a fixed delay of three days for tbe de nunciation of it. The old terms of the armistice are to be carried out completely by Germany. The German delegates reached Treves Friday morning and Marshal Foch arrived at noon. The first dis cussion was at 3 o'clock Friday aft ernoon and was begun by Marsha Foch. Mathias Erzberge spoke first for the Germans.

I am not getting more than half anough to eat, and would almost give my right arm to sit down to your able and eat one square meal. When it comes to 1 slice of old fat back meat, a little syrup, a cup of coffee, and a very thin slice of bread for breakfast, it makes me think of home. I am as hungry as n wilf. I have about one hundred lice to the ninute. With the exception of this I think I am all right. It sure is :ough to be hungry all the time. I laven't had a dozen good meals since I left the 5th division, November 14th 1918. I got plenty to eat while I vas in the 49th Infantry; also got enough while I was in the 11th.

I never watch the sun set, adown the western skies, 3ut that within its wonderness I see my Mother's eyes; never hear the west wind sob softly in the trees, But that there comes her broken call, far o'er the distant seas. I never watch the dim stars, but that my heart would go Away and back to olden lands, and dreams of long ago. A rover of the wide world, while yet my heart was young, rhe sea came whispering to me, in well-beloved tongue; And oh! the promise she held, of golden lands agleem; fhey clung around my girlhood heart, and filled my eyes with dreaniB. Still wild unrest kept luring me, 'till 'neath the stars I swore That I would leave old Erin's shore forever evermore. And now I watch the sun set, adown the western skies, And glimpse within its wonderness my Mother's plading eyes; And yet I hear the west wind sob softly in the trees, That vainly cloaks, her broken call, far o'r the distant seas; And never shine the dim stars, but that my heart would go Away, and back to her side, anc dream of long ago.
