Fathers were torn from wives and children.Bovs of tender years were torn from their mothers.Young girls in the first bloom of maiden- hood were ravished from their homes with no more.protection save that offered by Prussian soldiers.France saw its sons and daughters taken away into slavery,and oh worse than slavery.Against this France has waged war with all its power,with its men, its women and even its children fighting against the horror of the Moche.Even the most obscure have had a dream of the vision which France demands,and have givenfreelyofalltheirstrength.On the field of the Marne a_soldier struck between the eyes was rendered blind. As he tried to make his way to therearhestumbledoveranother,both of whose legs had been shot off.The plind one took this one upon his shoulders,and the eyes of the one, and the legs of the other,carried both to safety.In 1914,25,000 French women were working in nfu- nition factories.Two years later} there were 172,000. o Today there are 475,000 serving the nation.So France fighis on toward the end.France fights not for money,nor for terri- tory.nor yet for glory.It firhts for humanity,for liverty,for inter- national law.And all these Germa- ny must give before there can be peace,‘ In closing he told of a famous picture depicting LaFayette,Roch- ambeau and the brave Frenchmen them,arriving in America to serve the struggling col- onists of this country.The shin they sailed on was named “Victory.”Over against this he said thet he hoped to see a modern picture showing the splendid battleships of the Americar navy convoying the transports of the American army landing on French soil.And the name of that picture should also be “Victory.”“Victory for right,for justice,for humanity,for civilization.For that we fight,and you,to the end.” Iastaeienteiemeiaieaeeaiaanesiimmaemiadiitnianananedl Stemach Trouble and Constipation.

Charlotte Observer. A frame dwelling,opposite the Southern railway depot at Advance, Davie county,was burned Saturday morning at 5.30 o'clock and Mr.and Mrs.H.R.Williams and Mr.Wil liams’aged mother were probably fatally burned.Two small children, rescued,were not burned so ladly It is stated that Mr.Williams about 5.10 o'clock and was in the act of starting a fire with kerosene.In- dications are that the oil was pouredonthewoodandamatchstrucktolightthefire,when the can exploded, throwing oil on Mr.Williams.Theflamesspreadoverhisclothingandis arose trying to extinguish them,Mrs.Wi! liams caught on fire The aged mother of Mr.Williams rushed to the bed and picked up her little grandchild and in’passing out of the room her clothiny:became ig- nited and she fell in a faint.The six-year-old daughter of Mr.Williams took the child and earried it outside the house.Ne ighbbors assisted the husband,wife and mother out of the building,but not until after they had received burns that will no doubt prove fatal.

Commenting on the commutation of the death sentence of Chas,Walk-er,‘the well county youth who ‘murdered his sweetheart because she 4 to marry him,the Charlotte ol finds in Gov.Bickett's statement of his reasons for the commutation “a degree of emotion- alism to which it had considered him a stranger.”While cheerfully grant- ing Gov.Bickett's honesty and sin- coring of purposes,The Landmark has feared that he allows his natur- al kindly feeling too much play in dealing with cases of this kind. There is a happy medium between that sternness which knows no feel- ing and the sentiment which,if ‘al- lowed too much play,runs away with sound judgment.Continuing,the Ob- server expresses The Landmark's view in the following: “Gov.Bickett ——corn ‘de- spairing letters’the love-sick young os hal written the girl,of his pleading again and again for the restoration of her affections,of the girl running away from him =as he ,of how the traits that had made the boy a fool about her had ‘lifted him into ecstasy of bliss when he thought she was his very own and plunged him into an abyss of despair when he was told that he must see her face no more.’Then the darling hoy,instead of putting himself out of misery,slew the young woman, who ‘was sweet,pure,without blem- ish or guile,’in cold blood.A defence of this sort,it strikes us,is but plac- ing &premium upon lustful crime and giving dangerous license to the wickedly morbid.It is a»much as to say that any man maddened be- cause a young woman refuses to sac- rifice her own happiness by marry- ing him may shoot her down and find immunity from the electric chair.* *Jn the whole case,as we see 't, there was nothing pitiful except the fate of the young woman whose life was demanded as a penalty for iwwing lifted a poor fool ‘into an ec- stasy of bliss,’and then dropped him into ‘an abyss of despair.”— The killing of women by discarded lovers is quite a custom in this coun- try}much more common in other sections than our own,but there have been enough cases in North Carolina to make a check necessary. The Observer is right in saying that the disposition of this Caldwe!l case will give encouragement to this sort of thing.The’people of Cald- well were greatly incensed by the crime.A lynching was doubtless averted through the efforts of those whe stand for law and order.Under similar conditions again the lynch- ing will oceur.It’s a waste of words to people to observe the law if they become ¢that the law fails to protect them.. But all these i rs count 1 naught if Gov,Bickott wa satisfied as he was—the life of the Caldwell murderer should be spared;and we must defer to his judginent because his was the responsibility.It is all a product of the system which piace this responsibility of pardons and commutations on one man.The re- sponsibility ix too great fer any one man,no matter who he is.This is net a new opinion with The Land- mark and it is not suggested by the action of Gov.Bickett His course im the matter of pardons and com- jtations is not different from that his predecessors.

Emphasis was laid in offcial dis- ‘yssion on the last paragranh of theereement.This is the declaration that both countries are opposed to he acquisition by any government f any special rights or privileces that would affect the independence or territorial inteerity of Chins,or hat would deny to the subjects or citizens of any country the full en- joyment of equal opportunity in the commerce or industry of China. This,it was explained,was precisely the same as the altruirtic pan- Americanism,and both Japan and the United States by this declera- tien bound themselves to see that China obtained a square deal,not only at the hands of other nations but from themselves as wel! aeROTPRMNELowSoRN Tuesday's Elections.

It is insisted by the government officials who are handling this mat- ter that there would be enough war work to keep every automobile fac- tory in the nation going full time and overtime,even if he productionofpleasureautomobilesshouldbe abandoned altogether.Such radical action as this,however,is not con-templated for the present,as it isdesiredtokeepthesellingorganiza- tions of the various factories intact,which would be impossible if themanufactureofpleasurecarswas entirely discontinued. AEALIN A PeSTE TO Immense Crop of Corn andPotatoes. A corn crop,larger by more than 66,000,000 bushels than ever grown in the history of American agricul-ture,is the production of the farm- ors of the United States this year. The national Department of Agricul ture,in its preliminary estimate of the crep,placed the quantity at 3,- 191,083,000 bushels. ‘The potato crop,”says the state-ment of the department,“estimated at 440,000,000 bushels,is the largest on record,notwithstanding an unfa- vorable September and October cut down the actual production below the forecasts made earlier in the season. “The buckwheat production of 16,-815,000 bushels fell below early fore- casts,although it is up to an aver- age in total production,comparedvithformeryears. “The tobacco crop of 1,185,478,000 pounds is the largest on record, “The cranberry crop is short.” Large increases in corn production in Southern States are shown in the estimates announced by the depart- ment.The yield per acre in most of them showed increase.North Car- olina’s corn production is estimated at 66,120,000 bushels;tobacco,199,- 548,000 pounds.

The Britizh casualties are describ- ‘das extremely light,while Ger- mon dead covered the ground as theBritishpressedforward.Reports in-dicate that the depth of the penetra- tion in the region of Cambrai hasexceededfivemiles,and that at one noint at least the ftroeps swept en five miles bevond the German lines enturing additional villages.The offensive was under direct command of General Sir Julian HedworthGeorgeByng,and General John J Pershing,commander-in-chief of the American forces in France,was in interested observer of it, Italians Hold Ground.Meanwhile,the Italians everywhereareholdingtheTeutonicol lied invaders along the Piave river and in the hilly region from the up- ner reaches of that stream to LakeGarda.Nowhere has the enemybeenabletogainadditionalground.

FINE WORK. The value of canned and preserved products saved this year by the wo-men and girls in Iredell,working un-der the auspices of the canning clubs,is $10,427.34.In addition there are 68 bushels of dried vegetables and6.817 gallons of brined vegetables.That is good work,not only in the quantity saved—-which is imporiantenough—but in the training,the practice,given the young women espe- cially,in this important and neces-sary work.That means not only tore provident housewives in the fu- ture,but that there will be more ofthemfromyeartoyear.The ean- ning and preserving and drying and brining habits will grow until nothing that can be saved for food will te al- lowed to go to waste;that an abun- dance of food will not only be saved for home folks but much will be sent abroad;that instead of importinsuchthings'we will become exporters. Speed the day! Of course the work done by the women and girls of the canning clubs by no means aceounts for all the can-ned and preserved products in lredell.The great majority of the housekeep- ers in the county operated on privateaccountandtheyhavegreatquanti-ties of food laid by for winter. |The Y.M.C.A.war fund was over-subscribed in the country.The amount|desired was $35,000,000 and the sub-scriptions aggregate $49,209,411.

Arrival of American troops in France has kept pace with the expec- tation of the War Department,ac- cording to Secretary Baker,in the first statement he has ever authoriz- ed in connection with the progress being made_inPershing’s forces.Mr.Baker declin- ed to state the number of troops for- warded or to indicate whether he an- ticipated delay from this time.

At the drill of the Home Guard Wednesday night Capt.usley and Privates Deaton and Weatherman were appointed a committee to ap- pear ‘ore the county commission- ers and the board of aldermen to ask that the county and town buy wniforms for the members of the guard.The concensus of opinion of the members was that inasmuch as they are giving their services and time the county and town should buy the uniforms,which will cost about $1Q per member.Other towns and counties are doing this.It is under- stood that no ri will be issued to the Guard for awhile.
