HE State Department's summary of the re T recent war council of the Allies et Paris, in which the Gov- nment of the United States was represented by Col. House, ake it clearer than ever that this important conference or series of yaferences confined itself first and last to the business of fighting id fighting to win. Noither peace, politics nor economics had even look-in. Naturally the State Department cannot make public in deti vaye or means specifically agreed upon. The report, nevertheloss, contains quite enough to reassure the \merican people as to that increased unity and co-ordination of Allied fort which this great war council was specially to bring about. Quite enough to impress thei also with the weight of thie na- on’s influence in producing such unification, and also with the eight of its responsibility for the performance, in the task of winning ¢ war, of a part which it becomes more and more plain can be no condary one. The returning mission sete two demands ringing more insistently an ever in American ears: Send fighters; build ships. To the need of extending and epeeding up the shaping pro amie, reports of a new concentration of submarine warfare which ay presently enable Germany to claim temporary success in this ection give added point. On land, indications have not been lacking that the Germans are ling their way toward another desperate test of strength on the satern war front. The stronger reason “that the fighting forces of e United States be despatched to Europe with the least possible elay incident to training and equipment.” j Upon the resources and enduring power of the United States its! \\lies have counted from the first. But they now begin to look to it t initiative and epeed as well. There can be no question as to the| ifluence of this nation in securing on the military side a co-operative! nderstanding and agreement among the Allies, such as they them-| ‘elves bad not previously thought possible. American insistence pon unity and co-ordination undoubtedly did as much as anything to: give the recent war conference a new and businesslike concentration on the problem of getting the fullest results from combined Allied effort. But the United States {s contributing to the winning of this, war more than the services of an expert executive and organizer. | There are the far bigger contributions of armies, fleots, and an unfail- ing supply of cargo-carrying vessels. These are the contributions, ite attained by the Evening World Daily Maga that must now be rushed. Tf—as the signs increasingly persuade us—the German Govern-! ment is being impelled by pressure from within Germany toward peace, there is good reason to believe the war lords would reckon no attempt too costly that offered hope of saving the face of Prussianism by providing some gain that could be paraded before the German people as success, Every such attempt, either by land or eea, must be met anil turned to failure. There must be no gleam of encouragement by which tbe German Government can deceive Germans with the hope of ctory. The German people must be made to seo that that Go ent can do no more for them.

It was once a State of the Union. It died in the desth throes of @ tiny civil war of its own. Forgotten as is that war, over an equally forgotten State, It 1s worth mention in our story of “Americans Under Fire.” After the Revolution thousands of pioneers from North Carolina crossed the mountains into the western region that {s now ,Tennessee. North Carolina had very little tuterest fo those emigrants, though their now home was st!ll known as part of (hat parent State. And the emigrants had stil] less foterest in Nort, Carolina There were squabbles and verious outbreaks of vard feeling, At iast North Carolina offered to tara tie whole tract over to the United States Government, as so much wate land, This roused the settlers to a counter move The people of three large counties repudiated the offer; repudiated North Cara lina aiong with it, and set to work forming a State of thelr own—to be naioed In honor of Benjam{n Franklin. ' Forty doputios met, on Aug, 28, 1784, at Jonesboro, apd drew up & deciaration of independence and a State constitution. They also invited the western population of Virginia to join them. John Sevier was elected Gov, ernor and a Legislature was chosen. There was almost no money tm tbat wilderness, so a scale of rates was agreed on, whereby a pound of should represent 6 cents in actual cash, a galion of rye whiskey 66 esate, # gallon of brandy 76 cents, a pound of sugar 26 cents, otter, beaver or bear skinn $1.50 each, and fox or raccoon skins 28 conta. Nortt, Carolina, In amaze at such action, sent @ stern command Gat the seceding counties return at once to thetr olf alle?

Prosently—in 1786—a Franklin pioneer, named meeererrmromrr ¥ Sonn Tipton, headed a revolt against Beviers gov- n back into the North Carolina fold. And. by a lively ttle eclvil war. The looal ann nt and tried to swing Frank te was rent fact h North Carolina at his baok, seized all of Sevier’s property re could lay hands on, Sevier's slaves were driven from the flelds and were herded for safe keeping tn a rambiing big log house owned by Tipton. Sevier took law into his own hands by mustering one hundred and and marching against this house. The miniature “army” carned s and or old-fashioned field plece. ad no time to collect al! his own forces, But, with forty fel> micht. Meantime, lowers he prepared to defend the log house ae best he he sent a message posthuste to the nearest North Carolina garrison for help. Sevier's single cannon could have battered the tog house to splinters. But he did not want to wreck by wholesale slaughter his last hope of saving Franklin. So, instead of storming the house, he lutd siege te ft. Which was a fatal decision, #0 far as Sevter was concerned. For several days the siege continued; marked by brilliant shooting and: » bY all sorts of backwoods strategy. But Tipton was tS 01 je col elp ie en 3 in Infanoy. , deadly fire, SMBS aaa The end came quickly, Tipton’s messenger reaghed the North Carolina garrison and brought back with iim one hundred and eighty trained militiamen to Tipton’s relief, At dawn, during a blinding snowstorm, on Feb, 28, 1788, the militia took Sevicr’s forest camp by eur. prise.
