"Peace on that basis is the only kind that will satisfy the American soldiers. Their unanimity and in flexibility on this point are remarka ble, and it must be remembered that the American army is not only a fine fighting force but is going to be an enormous political force. A concrete body of 6,000 000 men, even if it grows no larger, trained by bitter experience to a common view, is go ing to have an influence on the poli cy of the United States which noth ing can withstand. "Moreover, since we are depend ent on American resources to bring the war to a conclusion we may al so count on its being concluded in a fashion that will be in agreement with American determination."

The Honor Flag won by Wilson county in t lie war savings campaign was preseutjpwlth appropriate and impressive ceremony late Saturdaj afternoon when the Court House was completely filled with people from all parts of the county who had made possible the fact that their beloved county had led the entire state in going over the top. After the ceremony in the court house the flag was run up to the top of flag pole in the yard while the choir sang the Star Spangled Ban ner. Chairman T. F. Pettus under whose magnificent leadership the hosts were marshaled during the campaign presided at the meeting and introduced the speakers. He opentd the meeting by saying that the program for the exercises would be held according to the one laid down by State headquarters that it was known that Wilson coun ty held the leadership some time ago, but Wilson county was waiting for the other counties to catch up. After a fervent prayer by Rev. J. M. Kester, the opening ng, Amer ica, was sung by a chair under the leadership of Mr. H. D. Brown. Mr. Pettus fan introduced Mr. O. P. Dickinson who eloquently presented the flag to the city and the county. Mr. Pettus spoke of the fine spir it manifested by the people in the various townships and the interest shown in the work of the war sav ings campaign.. He told them it was our duty to live up to and re deem the pledges made to pay for the war savings stamps already sub scribed. Every county in the state which ' has raised its quota of War Savings Stamps is today raising their Hags. He paid a high compliment to the eloquence of Mr. Dickinson who spoke in part as follows: Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentle men I only wish I could rise to the high plane upon which Mr. Pettus has elevated me as a sneaker, but I do not possess the power of elo quence siiiTicient to move the souls of men which the occasion deserv es." He referred to the wonderful meaning of the stars and stripes and the inspiration that stirred the blood when ever it. was not respected. The men of America are dying for it in France. Hut this flag today Is not the United States flag, it is a ser vice (lag, an illustration of the splen did efforts that you have put fortii in helping to win the war. Mr. Dickinson referred to the meaning of the various symbols on flags frum the beginning of creation. ; These symbols represented the ideals of the clans and the nations who adopted them. So our flags must represent some great cause or some noble ideal. I recall how sacred our feelings are towards, the Confederate Hag. We are proud of the fact that our Hag has never known defeat and over in France thousands of our brave boys are laying down their lives for our flag.

"On the north our cavalry, trav ersing the field of Armageddon, had occupied Nazareth, Afule, and Bei san and were collecting the disor ganized masses of enemy troops and transports as they arrived from the south. All avenues of escape open to the enemy, except the fords across the Jordan between Beisan and Jiser Ed Dameer, were thus closed. East of the Jordan, Arab forces ot the King of Hedjaz had effected nu merous demolitions on the railways radiating from Deraa, several impor tant bridges, including one in the Yurmak valley, having been de stroyed.

"Very severe losses have been in flicted on the masses of Turkish, troops retreating over the difficult roads by our air service. "A German airplane, later ascer tained to have been carrying mail, lauded in the midst of our troops at Afule.
