W Exeeutors of A, Weatherman, Atty. _ Make the Publisher Pay the Tax. The War Revenue Law taxes mag- azines by adding 1-4 cent a pound to the postage on the reading matter in them, and from 1-4 to 21-4 cents on the advertising matter. The rate goes up again next year and increases every year for four years. Subscription prices must in consequence be in- creased and that very soon, prob- ably within the next two or three months. We suggest that by re- newing your subscriptions now at the present prices you make the publisher pay the tax instead of paying it yourself. If you are thinking of adding a magazine or two to your list or sending one : some one in France, Do It Now is our advigg.

Later come the men of the graves registration service, put- ‘ting up a small wooden cross of olive drab color with a small aluminum name plate. five inches by two and one-half inches. They use a level lawn for a soldiers’ cemetery, each grave being 6 3-4 feet long and two feet wide. The graves are one foot apart, with two rows, head to head, and with a 40-inch patch between the rows.

Prominent Methodist Minister Ke- stored to Health By Tanlac—Feels It a Duty to Recommend It! Rev. W. C. Norton, of Perry, Flor- ida, for several years pastor of Wes- ley Memorial Church of Jacksonville, Florida, adds his testimony to the thousands of other statements from prominent men, regarding the bene- fits derived from Tanlac. Rev. Nor- ton said: “Tanlac has simply restored my health and I feel it my duty to ree- ommend it as a medicine of excep- tional merit. “I suffered from indigestion for eight or ten years. I had intense pain from gas ‘accumulation in my stom- ach, At times I would grow dizzy and would have severe headaches. (1 seldom slept well at night, and had to he extremely careful about my diet. “The benefit I have derived from Taniac is nothing short of wonderful. I became interested in it through friends of mine who had tried it and started taking it myself. I really feel as well now as 1 ever felt in my life. I sleep splendidly at night, can just eat anything I want, the indiges- {tion has disappeared and my health is &\ better in every way.” ; | | Wo! E BAPTIST CONVENTION. | Next Annual Session in Greens- | bere December 3-6—What It} Is. | W. C, Barrett, chairman of the) Press Committee of the Baptist State convention, sends The Landmark the following with request for publica. tion: . The next session of the Baptist State eonvention will be held in the city of Greensboro, January I-17. t may be well to state, for the benefit of those who are not familiar with the Baptist form of church gov- ernment, just what the convention is. The Baptista, like the Congregation- alists, have a congregational form of That being true the convention is neither an executive, a legislative, nor a judicial body. Every local Baptist church is a little republic within itself. It makes and executes its own laws, and adminis- ters discipline without any interfer. ence from any outside authority, as it recognizes no such authority, There is no such thing “The Baptiat Church” when by that term the loval churches of any viven territory are as meant. For instance, it is not good Baptist terminology to say “The Southern Baptist Church,” or “The Northern Baptist Church.” In speak- ing of such group of churches the term ‘denomination” is used. There is no system of eeclesiastical courts with Baptists and, hence, no appeal from the decisions of a local church, {t will be seen from the foregoing that the funetion of a Baptist State convention is purely advisory, It formulates no laws, executes no or- ders, and tries no cases. It has no jurisdiction as to questions of doc- trine, All these are matters that be- long to the local church. If no action taken ‘by the convention is binding on the local churches, the question may be asked, “Why are the annual meetings held?" While the convention has no authority to enforce the observance of any recommenda- tion it may make, there is a beautiful spirit of cooperation among the Bap- tists which leads them to work togeth- er with as much unity and harmony as do those denominations which have their more complex organizations. The denominational paper serves as a channel for expression of opinion in regard to any denominational policy that may he proposed. If any matter of unusual importance is to be intro- duced in the convention, it is custom- ary for the brother who expects to in troduce the measure to give notice of his purpose in the Record before the meeting of the convention, and it is discussed in the columns of the paper. In this way unity of action is usually secured, If, however, a matter presented to the convention and dis- cussed, and’it ie seen that the conven- cannot act with a considerable degree of unanimity, a motion is usu- illy made and adepted, which carries the question over for a year, thus giv- is tion ine time for mature consideration. When such action is taken there is almost always a satisfactory aygree- ment reached at the following session ’ the convention, Another thing which helps to secure concert of action is the spirit of de- mocracy which permeates the body, \ “steam roller’ would soon be brown on the junk pile if by any means it sheuld chance to find its way nto. the nition hall. The hutrab- lest layman in all the State is ‘as much entitled to the floor of the conventior is the preacher who comes from the most important eity: church, ‘onve higeest ‘ec of one man counts for as much as thet of another.

The followingr story is sent the Greensboro News from Rocky Mount: There is one Nash county planter In Bifact, his hatred is not only for the 4) Huns Bi from a themselves, but extends to everything that bears the name “Ger- man,” The story is told of how this planter recently purchased some millet seed certain party. The farmer proceeded to sow the seed, and in due time the little plants were several inches above the surface of Mother | Earth, well on their way sky-ward. | One day while the planter was | working his millet patch a neighbor ing tiller of the soil casually dropped by to pay his respects. The visitor looked the patch over particularly, and | then asked the owner if he knew what kind of millet seed he had planted. As the planter said he didn’t know, |his neighbor enlightened him. “That's German millet; and seed came from Germany.” The said farmer was prepared for anything but that, and when he heard that his millet patch had sprung fromm | seed of Teuton origin, he took him- ‘self to his barn, and hitched up his | favorite mule to a trusty plow. And j soon after the millet patch was noth- | ing but an expanse of upturned sod, j with the little plants grpwing the other way. those A SURPLUS OF RECEIP4S. Postmaster General, in Annual Report, Recommends Covern- men Ownership of Wire Ser- | vice—New Features. ‘ment for the fiscal year ending last dune 30 resulted in a surplus of re- ceipis over expenses of $19,979,798, according to the annual report. Ap- proximately $44,500,000 — additiona! was paid over to the Treasury from , the inereased postal charges imposed for war revenue. Total revenues of the department from all sources dur- ing the year Was given as $388,975,- 162, against $329,726,115 for the 1917 | fiscal year, Total expenditures are reported at $24,835,728, avainst $519,888,718 in 1917. Disregarding the increased postal rates effective November 2 under the war tax bill, the actual increase in postal service business during the year is placed at 4.47 per cent, while expenditures in- creased 1.56 per cent. Mr. Burleson for the first time of- ficially reports upon the use of air- |planes for transmission of mail, and xovernment-owned trucks for the op eration of rural parcels post routes, disclosing plans for wide extension of iboth facilities. He also renews his previously made recommendation that ;postmasters now appointed by the President should be selected ‘under {competitive civil service examinations jand that the four assistant postmas- | ters weneral and the purchasing agent ishould be likewise selected, The volume of mail carried during the year was greater tan ever before, says the report, in commenting upon the surplus earned, which it places at more than double the greatest profit ever fount! by the department previ- ously. War activity in private bus- iness not alone grew, but the govern- ment itself put a tremendous burden of matter into the mails from the |new offices which it built up. Post- masters and postoffice facilities alike were used for war service that ranged from the registration of ailiens to the ;sale of Thrift Stamps and govern- ment bonds. Among new facilities the report |asks is an appropriation of $1,500,000 for the construction of a subway be- tween the Grand Central Station in New York and_ the Pennsylvania terminal office, replacing the discard- ed system of pneumatic tubes, and | devised to relieve congestion. Au- thority is also asked for the establish- ment of a guaranty fund within the department, with which to bond em- ployes handling money and valuables. | This is advocated to relieve premium charges which are said by the report to be excessive, and also to eliminate delay and difficulty. Dealing with complaint of delays | in mail for soldiers in France, both nefore and after the mail service was | taken over by the army, Mr. Burle- | son’s report says that much of it was due to the handling of mail by. order- lies in military service, In the United States, 128 branch postoffices were established at camps and cantonments to deliver the mail to the troops. Censorship boards were established. at nearly all ports f exit from the. United States, in connection with military and 1.600 employes were engaged in censoring approximately i of mail daily during most of the period covered by the report, A wide extension of the aerial mail service has been planned, the re- nort indicates and outlines are given for four routes two of which extend outside the United States, and feeders decid- for the aerial mail,” the ostmaster General says, cribing experimental operations tween Washington, New York, "1e°%es ed upen " i be and niladelphia, “under the present “pro gram are: “1.

A visit to the laboratory where this successful remedy is made impresses even the casual looker-on with the reli- ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness which attends the making of this great medicine for woman's ills. Over 350,000 pounds of various herbs are used canalle and all have to be gathered at the season of the year when their natural juices and medicinal sub- stances are at their best. The most successful solvents are used to extract the medicinal properties from these herbs. Every utensil and tank that comes in contact with the medicine is sterilized and as a final precaution in cleanliness the medicine is pasteurized and sealed in sterile bottles. It is the wonderful combination of roots and herbs, together with the skill and care used in its preparation which has made this famous medicine so successful in the treatment of female ills. The letters from women who have been restored to health by the use of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- pound which we are continually pub- ishing attest to its virtue.

Vice President Marshall presided over Tuesday’s cabinet meeting at the request of President Wilson, who is en route to Europe and set, according to the White House staff, a new pre- eedent in the conduct of American executive affairs. No other Vice President so far as records show, ever presided at a cabinet meeting. In taking his seat, Mr. Marshall set at rest any theories that he might be acting as President. He said he was attending the gathvring “informally and impersonally, net undertaking to exercise any offweini duty or function.” Before woing to the White House Mr. Marshall explained that the Pres- ident before, departing for Hurope had asked him to preside at the cabi- net meetings and had repeated the re- ueat by wireless from the George Washington. Mr. Marshall made it plain that he had no idea of exercising the functions of the President.

Why not make it the nucleus around which you may easily build an amount sufficient to buy a home?

And Building and Loan Stock is exactly the same principle. You accumu- jute a tidy sum to be used for building a home, for making an investment, for wolng in business —and you do it through small, but systematic, regular savings. * Working ona salary or for wages, the average man will never have any- thing ahead unless he can get himself on a basis of regular saving. Once you get on this basis, it comes naturally, you never miss the amount of money you put time before you get real results from your thrift, We would like very much to enroll you for stock in the new series, and also to sro fully into the details of this proposition.

Agricultural Experiment Station Says: ‘The lack of Potash with us has been shown especially in cotton, to- bacco and potatoes in coastal plain sections. This has been especially true of cotton and potatoes, more potash having been used on tobacco, relative- ly, than on these two crops.” Dr. H. W. BARRE, director of S. C. Agricultural Experiment Station Says: **I will say that a survey recently made of the cotton situation in South Carolina leads us ta believe that at least 25 per cent. reduction in the eot- ton crop has resulted this year from lack of potash. In some cases not more than half a crop has been produced on light land that is very deficient in potash. The appearance of the plants indicates that what is known as potash hunger is responsible for the decreased yield. We are, therefore, recommending that liberal amounts of potash be used in fertilizers for cotton next year. At the usual rates of o_o I feel that it will pay to use as much as 3 per cent. of potash at the present prices.” Enquire of Royster Dealers. Place orders early. F. S. ROYSTER GUANO CO.

The big idea behind the Christmas Savings Club plan is to ceach you the value of saving; to show you how small accounts, saved regularly, will mount into considerable sums in the course of a year.

It scems proper now, however, to disclose the facts, because they ave creditable facts—in- tensifying that good will which owners of Dodge Brothers cars have always manifested. Dodge Brothers car was the only one of its class approved and adopted by the War De- partment. ip a separate Or dnance Works, built especially for the pur- pose, « osting millions of dol- lars and employing thousands of their skilled motor work- men, Doedee Brothers under- took an important duty desig- nated by the War Department. Without the aid of their great motor organization, Dodge Brothers could not have fulfill- ed the heavy obligation which they were asked to assume by the Ordnance Department. The other service required of Dodge Brothers motor works, by the Government, was to here, and for service in Bel- gium, France and italy. The record of those thousands of camp and army cars 1s one ‘n which any owner may feel the utmost pride and satisfac- . tion. Their performance justified the compliment implied in their selection by the Govern- ment. The great works in which nearly three hundred thousand of their cars have been produc- ed in the past four years furn- ished a vast storehouse of hum- an energy and equipment for the ordnance work. Naturally, it will take time to adjust the motor works to its full accustomed activity. Gradually Dodge Brothers will resume the grateful task of continuing to deserve the good will of America— -and in- deed of the whole world. Dodge Brothers consider good will their most valuable pos- session. They will never knowingly do anything to lessen it. STATESVILLE MOTOR CO. PHONE 140 Come Dele Care!

The annual report of Raymond T. Baker, director of the mint, shows that the seiyniorage was $20,538,000 on $45,596,000 worth of coins minted during the year ended June 80. This means that the ac- tual yalue of the silver, nickel and bronze made into caving was $20,538,- 600 less than the face value at which they were issued. The year's work, stimulated by © such an extent that the three were kept busy 24 hours a day, ‘ought a new record for production, © were yt Mere than 714,000,000 coins manufactured, as compared with 406,000,000 the year before, a high record at that time. The greatest demand was for tl-cent pieces . of which 445,000,000 were minted, Next the eountry needed new dimes and 116,000,000 of these were made, #2,- 275,000 nickles, 45,228,000 quarters and 24,105,000 half dollars were turn- ed out. No wold was minted, War currency demands in India and other countries also imposed on the mints the burden of melting down great piles of silver dollars for ex. port as bullion. About 150,000,000 of these dollurs have been melted up to the present time, ET Se ET TOE em RAILROAD EXECUTIVES OPPOSE Railroad executives representing 125 roads and 92 per cent of the Mileage of the country, have made formal statement in which they de- clare that Director General McAdoo's suggestion that the government re- tain control of the railroads until anuary, 1924, “would simply lead to oy and confusion, demoralization Gf the oranization of the roads both on their corporate and operating side, and defer indefinitely a satisfactory | @ settlement” of the railroad problem.

AS the sudden cessation of war pictured to your mind H horror, and lull your sense of duiy as a loyal American a joyous epoch, to disengaze your thoughts of its to the gigantic task that now confronts the Red Cross to overcome? The task of reconstructicn and resteration. The frightful carnage of battlefields; the agonies of dying men; the writhings of the woundcd, the butcheries of civilians and non-combatants have ceased. ‘The death and atrocities dealt to the unarmed men and women, who with the emblem of the Red Cross flaming on their bodies were wantonly murdered in their unselfish, un- faltering service to humanity, will no longer be recorded, The deafening crash of the deadly bomb, dropped from God’s heights in the air on hapless hospitals behind the lines; the last moans of the wounded; the agonized shrieks of the nurses; and most awful noise of all, the “gluttoned snarl” of the beasts whose hands sowed in- carnate woe on defenseless women and their helpless charges, are forever stilled. This space contributed to the success of the rede ee pag bis, ae, Yay ve TREE E TE — No vocabulary of the combined tongues of civilization will ever be able to describe, nor pen depict, the ruin or tne anguish; the suffering, and the death; the abnegation of self, and the spiritual bravery and heroism that have sig- nalized the records of these humanitarians. Now in the wake of Peace lies the blight of humanity. The most heroic work the world has ever faced, now faces the Red Cross in its new and mighty problems of rescue for millions left in the path of war’s destruction. UNIVERSAL MEMBERSHIP for the Red Cross is now the great far reaching appeal. That membership asks for but two things—YOUR HEAR’ AND A DOLLAR. Can less be asked to do -so much? Your willing Dollar is magnified a thousand fold in your allegiance to the Christmas Roll Call. Remember the words of our beloved President. “I sum- mon you to the comradeship”— Heed the simmons NOW—See to it NOW—that your Red Cross button blazons forth on your breast, a glorified emblem of your duty done.

The use of tanks in warfare re- sulted from ideas gained by a British official while watching the demonstra- tion of an American farm tractor in a German city in 1913. This official account of the origin of the tanks is given by Col, I. C. Welborn, director of the tank corps of the United States army, in bis annual report. The re- port contains no information as to the American tank program, as it was pre- pared before the cessation of hostili- ties. “The firhting machine, originally called by — — the ae men ore its inception in the caterpillar farm sible o passage by ‘an actor,” Col. Welborn says.

It must be remembered that neith- er Senator Williams nor the Spring- field Republican are German sympa- thizers. They are speaking for jus- tice; and it is well to remember that no matter how strong our feeling that the whole German nation should be obliterated, the imposition of burdens! that would make slaves of the whole German people for 50 or 100 years, will be regarded, in the years to come, by succeeding generations, as on the same plane as the Prussian cruelty. They deserve it? Yes. But. can we inflict a punishmert of revenge with- ot becoming like the people we pun- ish? Ct ACCA COUT OREN ALIS Mate NAAM The plan of the government to al- |low soldiers and sailors’ to retain the | uniforms they wear when discharged from service, is proper. These uni- forms will be valued as heirlooms lat- er on, and for this reason they should be preserved. In a few years reun- ions of the men who fought in this great war will be popular and. on these occasions it will be fine if the survivors can show up in parades at- tired in the uniforms they wore in actual service. Instead of wearing the uniform, when they come home, until it is worn out, as many of the thought'ess will do, it should be laid aside and carefully preserved for the state occasions that will be so popu- lara few years hence. It will more valued and appreciated than now. It will be a real badge of service that will be more appreciated as the years pass. Burleson and Government Own- ership of Wire Systems.

By doing so the war has been brought to a speedier close than could have been the case if the money had not been spent, and thousands of lives have been saved. Now the gov- ernment calls on the people to make good their pledges and pay the debt of honor. A further reason why every North Carolinian should redeem his War Savings pledge by December 31 is to save the State's honor. Thus,far the State has a 100 per centwarrecord. Its fine record is to be won or lost by the success or failure of the War Sav- ings Campaign. To succeed in raising the State’s War Savings quota is to give the State a perfect record, while to fail to raise it will be to lese the good record that it has. Had Planned to Bomb Berlin.

The division so far has had few casualties and we hope our good luck will continue, October 28-/We have been with- drawn to the rear and are temporarily located in the suburbs of a large town that has figured quite a bit in the war's history, Where we are and the city has been literally shelled to pieces. Every house has been made uninhabitable by being torn up by shell fire. All the wardens, roads and railroads have been shelled to pieces, but those for military uses have to be kept open. This is only one of the many towns that look as if some big giant had taken a stick and knocked the houses down like kids knock down their sand houses. I saw one of the pemioctiios that was fired into Paris by “Big Bertha” and failed to explode. It came even with my chin standing on end, and my hands overlapped about five inches when I tried to reach around it. It must weigh a ton and one can hardly conceive of an object of that size and weight being thrown about sixty miles. Saw two that were thrown into Verdun that reached to my waist but they looked insignificant beside the one from “Big Bertha,” but in reality they were monstrous. Our quarters temporarily are in fine residences—-rather have-beens, as each has at least one big hole torn in it and part of the roof gone, and so in case of rain we have to get under the good part of the roof. The room I have has a marble mantle and nice wall paper, but has suffered for want of a tenant quite a while. Our kitch- en is located in what was a sun-parlor of a very pretty chateau. Some of the boys sleep in good rooms on hard- wood floors. The wood-work is all hardwood and the mantels are of mar- ble. Most of this house is demolished by shell-fire, also the flower gardens and conservatories in the rear. In rounds—-about 100 by 200—about six ig shells must have hit and that is low for an average of the entire town. One could not figure how many had fallen in the big city. An old cathe- dral, one of the most beautiful in France looks as if it had been struck fifty times. Beautiful works of art and ancient relics in the museum are torn up by shell-fire or destroyed by rain coming through the roof. This place was a city of about 150,000 peo- ple and will certainly have to be re- built. Was very much struck with the nower of big shells the other day by seeing a big land fort of reinforced concrete abutments 40 or 50 feet thick shot away, also a steel observation post weighing six tons knocked $0 feet. This post got thousands of such shots but it is still in working order. although the exterior of reinforced conerete is shot to pieces. It is cred- lited with stopping one of the biggest German drives at a very important point. November 10th—-We are looking ; very anxiously to see if the Germans }arve going to sign the armistice at Foch’s headquarters. They have un- til tomorrow and we expect to sec them sign, do not feel that it will mat- ter whether they sign or not, but it will make the fighting stop sooner We do not expect to see another front time to time and be over here for some time to come.

One cannot imagine a more complete destruction ‘in then was torn uy the following ‘night. We were under orders to go to near Metz for a drive which wag countermanded when the armistice | was signed, so you see we have had a | sexies of lucky escanes all alone. We j haven't had a single casvalty in the hospital corps since coming over and in action since coming over until we were drawn back here.

Fourth, the lapplication of ‘sanctions’ for making | cffective the decisions of the society; “‘ of nations. ‘Sanctions’ is a diplomat- ie expression meaning the various, steps fer enforcing compliance, They are four-fold: “First, diploniatie sanction. The so- | ciety of nations shall break diplomat- | ie relations with any recalcitrant na- {tion and give his passports to the am bassador or minister that nation. “Second, judicial sanction, where by the courts of all countries will be closed to recalcitrant nations. It wil! ! thus practically be quarantined and placed outside the pale of civilized States. | “Third, economic sanction, whereby | the economic means ‘of all nations | shall be directed against any recalci- trant State, This economic weapon of the United Nations will be a great power in isolating any offending na tion, cutting off all its foodstuffs and raw materials, when it acts in defi-! ance of the society of nations, “Fourth, military sanction, This is) the last sanction by which the joint nations would undertake to enforce observance of the decisions of the so- ciety of nations. This military sane- tion is the most difficult and delicate | of all the questions invelved in creat- ing the society of nations, “There will be different views con- cerning the military enforcement of | peace, It is the purpose of our or-} ganization to reconcile these differ- | ences and secure some workable basis , of agreement.

There is no difference of opinion on this subject. Business leaders of vision througout the nation, and leaders of public life in our own State, have spoken to this effect with clearness and emphasis. England, France, Canada and Germany, in the midst of a struggle infinitely more exhausting than our own, have doubled their educational efforts and expenditures.

This unfortunate young Wilcox and last seen in his company, was mi from her home in Eliza- beth City about 17 years ago, A’ few days later her dead body was found in the river. The case attracted State-wide interest. Wilcox was ar- rested, later convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to death. The feeling against him was so strong that the jury’s verdict was applaud- ed by the crowd in the court house and the Supreme Court gave Wilcox a new trial, At the second trial he man, unhampered by pressure from various sources. Dr. Joyner says he was superin- tendent of cade of his native county before he was 21 and since then has been engaged continuously in educa- | tional work, the past 17 years as State Superintendent of Public Instruction, After 37 years of steady work he thinks he is entitled to a rest and an opportunity to look after his private affairs. Whether the public will ac- cept that as his real motive for re- signing or assign something else, as is not uncommon in such cases, nota- oly the case of Mr. McAdoo, remains to be seen. But the public will agree that Dr. Joyner is entitled to a breathing oul. brought to State superintend- ent of schools ability, education, training and experience in this partic: ular work, and a vision for larger and better things. Prior to his advent the had been a football of polities, He endeavored to make of it what it should be, His ideas were not al- ways popular with the State’s legisla- ws, nor with the general public for that matter, but through untiring ef- fort he has wrought a great work in the educational life of the State—a work by which he will be remember- ed in years to come, The selection of Dr. Brooks as Dr. Joyner’s successor will doubtless meet popular approval. Occupyin thd chair of education at Trinity Col- lege means of course that Dr. Brooks is a man of proved ability in the line of work to which he is called. _ eastimicen tn ah Mn Rene atin uninna t bha ate E F LAW IGNORED? “Another Federal food a:dministra- tion law that is being violated by a large per centaye of Asheville gro- cers,” said Federal Food Inspector Byrd, talking in Asheville a few days ago, “is that relating to ‘cash and carry’ and ‘charge and deliver’ prices. There are’ certain commodities on which each merchant receives, at reg- ular intervals, a list, setting forth the ‘cash and carry’ or cheaper price ‘n the first column, and the #&harge and deliver’ price, which is higher, in he second column. Some of the mer- chants argue that they do not do any cash and carry’ business, and for that ‘eason are not compelled to use the ‘heaper price list, _ Every grocer, says the Federal food nspector, is compelled to provide these lists and his customers can take thoice—-whether they will pay cash and carry the goods home, or whether they will pay the higher price of “charge and deliver.” Always in the matter of curtailing deliveries — the unrestricted deliver- ‘es being a great tax on the dealer-— important post of many buyers are wont to say that! they stand ready to pay cash and do their own delivering — in most cases ‘'t least — if they could see where they were benefited, But that as a tule “cash and carry” gets no more consideration in the matter of price than “charge and deliver.” Under the law, according to Mr. Byrd, grocers are not only required to make con- cessions to cash and carry customers ut are required to exhibit price lists showing these concessions. The Landmark is moved to call at- tention to these regulations to ask ow many of its readers know. of a nlace where the law is complied with? How many dealers in Statesville, for instance, exhibit these price lists and ve concessions to cash and car- ry customers? Again the happy Christmastide. A season of will and good cheer; a time to la: asidathe things that annoy and depress and dwell on the vleasant things of life (there are so many of these if we only look for them); a‘ time for home-comings, family reunions and words of cheer. This season there is added cause for happiness in hundreds of thousands of homes, The war is ended and the soldiers are coming home; some have returned. Some of the absent ones will never return and the joyous sea- son that brings happiness to so many ‘an but heighten the sorrows where homes are desolate. That is the dis- tressing side to this holiday season, hut it is always so. There is always sorrow and suffering. Those of us who have not suffered the loss of dear ones, have a duty to help cheer the sorrowing; to help them see the bright side; for there is always a bright side, The Landmark sends the greetings of the season, with its best wishes for prosperity and happiness, to all ‘ts readers everywhere. Some of the churchmen (preach- ers and laymen) who were so much disturbed because the health author- ities closed churches along with oth- er places of public assemblage in en- forcing the influenza quarantine, con- tinue to complain. They not only in- sist that it would be next to impossi- ble to contract disease in a church, but a hold that, as a matter of re- ligious liberty, guaranteed by the con- stitution, it should be made impossi- ble for the civil authority to close a church at any time, for any purpose, It is interesting to recall that some of these defenders of religious liberty were y in accord with the re- m order, or request, of the civil au- es that all persons engage in for a certain purpose at a cer- ee ae tod eee a to a eect fate E 8 the churches temporarily, even aw Appointed to the of-! fice to fill a vacancy caused by death, | jin 1901, Dr. Joyner the | That is to say, it is alljitor of 7. at ee a eens cake was convicted of second degree mur: | ‘ter and given the “ull limit of the | i‘aw--80 years, | Gov.

Time pass. es, the public forgets the . heinous crime, the victim is forgotten. The criminal serves a few years in State nrison, makes a good record — and “has been punished enough.” Even if Wilcox is guilty he has been nsunished enough, says the prison offi- cial, who thus holds that 15 years and seven months is long enough to hold a man in prison for deliberate, cold- blooded murder — the murder of a woman and a confiding woman who had trusted him. That would be Wil- cov’s offence if he were guilty. The Landmark doesn’t know whether Wileox is guilty; nobody knows, probably, except himself. Cir- cumstantial evidence always leaves a doubt and the jury doubtless gave Wilcox the benefit of that doubt by making the verdiet second degree | murder. The judge, however, was 80 | -vidence arainst Wileox that he gave tim the full limit of the law. VW the Governor is convinced of Wileox’s innocence, or evidence dis- covered since the trial makes serious ‘oubt as to his enilt, then of course the pardon is fully warranted.

Richards, seaman of the United States ship Mas- sachusetts, was arrested in Ashe- ville last week, charged with the larceny of about $750 worth of jewelry from the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles French Toma of Asheville. The sailor was a guest at the Toms home Wednesday night, when the alleged theft occurred. Richards is being held in the Ashe- ville jail for a hearing. Richards did included three rings worth $500, a | watch valued at $150, a locket worth | $100 and $2.50 in eash. Richards, | whose home is in Boston, declared he | was 15 years old, He has visited in| Asheville on former occasions. { The Family Gift If you want a beautiful piece of furniture and a real musical in- strument, a Weser Piano or Pho- nograph will satisfy, New ship- ments just arrived.

The | tax is intended to enforce child labor | regulations and is to take the place of | the child labor law declared unconsti- | tutional by the Supreme Court. It is/ an amendment to the revenue bill and will have to be accepted by the House, as it probably will be. | It is a waste of time to talk about: this amendment being imporper or unconstitutional. The regulations it is designed to enforce are necessary , and proper and the action of the Fed- eral government is due to the fact that | so many of the States have vefused to mass laws that will prevent exploit- ing the labor of children, It is not creditable to the States which have | refused te take this ‘action that the!

Dr. Mott said that 200 men and women workers had been recalled | from France because of unfitness and | announced that there would be a gen- | eral “tightening up” to correct con- | tions which have resulted in criti- cisms. He stated that George W. Perkins, Mortimer H. Schiff and F. 8.) Brockman have gone abroad for the express purpose of eliminating, so far! as possible, any further cause for! complaint. “It is the history of every great ef- fort that mistakes are made and no! one, no matted how exalted his person or how enemponeheble his integrity, | can escn her important organi- | ssed through a similar with the Y.

Much} of the adverse comment is due te mis- conception or to partial knowledge.” | Dr, Mott then took up in queation | and answer from criticisms most frequently heard. He explained that| the Y. M. C, A. had not concerned it- self specifically with the wounded and| ill because it had. been agreed that this work would be done by the Red Cross. He denied the most frequently heard complaint which has been that the association has been profiteering by the operation of its canteens over- e explained that it had been agreed with General Pershing that if any profit were derived from the can-, teens it should be used exclusively for the benefit of the men of the! army. Canteens have been conducted, Dr. Mott said, on a cost basis, but in fix- ing prices it has been necessary to | reckon such overhead charges as transportation and marine insurance with the result that prices were much higher than in this country. Not only has the organization made no profit, he declared, but it has lost thousands of dollars. Arrangements now have | been made, however, which will en- able it to obtain supplies from sources that will reduce overhead charges and keep prices down. Canteen Service, The following is the official an- nouncement of a poster in the nearly | 1,500 Y. M, C. A. huts, canteens and dugouts in France: : The A. E. F. military authori-, ties have requested the Y. M. C. A.| | to operate the canteen in France as a substitute for the American Army | ost Exchange. 2. No profit whatever is made from canteen sales. _ 3. This canteen operates with cap- ital borrowed from the National War Work Council, and consequently must be self-sustaining,” With the excep- tion of tobacco on which the Associa- tion is supporting a heavy loss, all commodities are sold at cost. This cost is determined by adding to the. factory prices in America the charges to cover ocean and rail transportation, insurance, handling, storage, loss in transit, ete. Supplies manufactured or purchased in France are sold at cost plus the delivery expenses, 4. All accounts of the Y, M. C. A. | canteens are audited and controlled by the international firm of chartered acountants, Price Whterhouse and Company, and are available for in- spection at all times, | 5, _ The funds contributed to the Y. M. C. A, by the American public are used for the following activities: | Building and equipping of all huts and places of recreation; establishing and operating mutor transport: equin- bing, transporting, and maintaining Y. M. C. A. workers; furnishing free hot and cold drinks, chocolate and cigar- ettes for distribution in front line and support positions.

Out of the war’s necessities has been developed a new synthetic pro- cess of making glycerine by fermen- tation of sugar in quantity at low cost, which government officials say will revolutionize production, This secret, carefully guarded while the war lasted, was disclosed in a treas- ury report. In a little laboratory up under the eaves of the treasury building, chem- ists of the internal revenue bureau worked for months on information the government in the producing glycerine through a fer- |mentation process was able to turn out explosives requiring great quan- tities of glycerine in spite of the scar- city of fats. John R. Oeff is the chemist who ‘directed the experiments which finally solved the German rid- ie. The process was tried out on a at Til, and found to be com- mercially profitable. Then the secret was conveyed to allied governments and to manufacturing chemists who proposed to undertake commercial exploitation of the process. PATRIOTIC CERTIFICATES. Immediate return of all spyylasses, telescopes, binoculars and other navi- gation instruments loaned the gov- ernment by private individuals, is or- dered by Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt. Shortly after the United States entered the war, the Navy Department issued an appeal to supply “eyes for the navy” in the form of these instruments, and the public responded with over 106,000 of these articles.

Warned to Beware of Grafters. « To the Editor of The Landmark, There is so much opportunity for | raft during these times of high prices that it is well to be on the lookout for The temptation is great, and the excuse seems so plausible that they plead high price of material, labor, and all kinds of excuses. Graft | seems to be in the air just like every other kind of epidemic. Some of them! try the widows the hardest, the very | ones who ought to be protected. If) it is a little job of repairing they say solder now costs 90 cents per me but they fail to say that it only takes | 1-2 th; or, if it is paint they say paint is so awfully high, but fail to say that | it only takes 76 cents worth to do the job ,and if they want to ride out two or three blocks to carry two painters and a pound of solder and gallon of paint they take a mobile and chauf- feur wee and charge 400 per cent profit on both of them while two men are spending three-fourths of an hour doing the work. They do not itemize the bill but lump it at about 400 per, cent profit or more, giving the high, price of material, ete. and etc, and ete. and so on, as an excuse for charg- ing three or four prices for doing the job. While there are those who will ‘ake advantage of the public in this way, yet there are a large number who will not, but the temptation is so great that it would be well for those who have not got confidence in their own ‘judgment to look out and see that the grafters do not have it all their own way. ac. @.

REAL ESTATE MAN COULD HARDLY WALK From Rheuma- lardly Put On His Fest Were So tism He Cou Shoes! “T was so crippled up with rheu- matism that I ‘ould hardly walk, when I began using Tanlae,” said J. R. Owens, a well-known real estate operator, residing at 831 Rivas street, ‘San Antonio, Texas, recently, “About a year ago,” he concluded, I began to suffer from rheumatism that kept getting worse in spite of all that I could do. My limbs would ache so I could hardly bear it and my joints would get so stiff that at times, it was all I could do to drag myself around. When I got out of bed in the morning my hands and feet would be so stiff and hurt so bad I could hardly put on my shoes. I suffered agonies night and day and though I tried about everything in the way of treatments that I could hear of, nothing did me any good, “One day I read in the papers about a man who had been relieved of a case of rheumatism like mine through the use of Tanlac, and that encouraged me to give it a trial, I'm certainly glad I did, for it has done me more good than anything else I have ever taken. By the time I had used up my first bottle, the stiffness had about left my joints and my limbs had stopped aching. My im- provement since had been so wonder- ful that I am confident a few more hottles of Tanlac will make me as well as I ever was.” Tanlac is now sold exclusively in Statesville by the Statesville Drug Company and _ in Mooresville by the Miller-White Company.—advt.

NEWS FROM “OVER THERE” Home Boys Tell of Their vy riences on Battlefields of Eu- rope — Have Enjoyed It But Ready For Home. Writing The Landmark from &t. Blin, France, December 12, Sergeant Thos, W. Swink, Battery A, 316 Field Artillery says: “The war is over and vhat next? We soldiers back home as quickly as Unele Sam can get us back, know Bulgaria erenked, followed by Turkey, and no surprise to the mili- tagty authority. Hardly had the baby countries’ buria! been til Aus- tria-Hungary caught the sare dis- ease (the flu,” some say), So then the kaiser fell off the throne; then hostilities began with Gerraany. No surprise to us, for that was just what we came over for—to win this war. “The allied nations have won this war. Without the help of Christian America they could never have done it. America was not in the war for conquest or pillage, but to reciprocate for what France did for us when struggling for an independent exist- ence more than 140 years ago. An American newspaper, speakine of General Pershing’s arrival in France, Said: ‘He went to the tomb of our reat benefactor, saluted and said, Calves, oe are here.’ That expresses your appreciation of the American soldier in France better than any- thing I could say in a month—-Lafay- ette, we are here. “Through the various misrepyesen- tatioos of the kaiser and his hench- men, the ignorant serfs have been de- ceived and led to believe that Amer- ica had no part in the war and would not have; they were a ‘cowardly set of pink-eyed dudes’ that could not and would not fight; that they could not stand in front of the brave German soldiers; no, not even the world could face Germany's great militery organ- ization and forty years of prepara- tion. But now they have occasion to chaneve their way of thinking. “When thinking of this world war and the part Amevica was ca'led to take in it, my mind is carried back to all the wars in which we have partici- ipated since the Revolutionary period when we were struge'in« for liberty and unprepared to defond our homes, It has been so in every war since on down to the present tirze—unprepar- ed. America is the greatest country or. earth; it does things. Twelve months ago, as usual, ne preparation had been mare with which to resent the insults of Germany. Within the last year, we have fully equipped an army of patriotic, liberty-loving men, built transports and ships to carry them across. Al! this convinces me that when the Amer‘enn Eagle screams, owls and bats of Germany must hunt their ho'es. We heve done ‘more in twelve months than they have done in the last forty years. They know now that we ave in the war know now that militarisr: of which they have so eyrotistically boasted will not stand in the presence of free lib- erty-loving Americans, and that their forty-years” of preparation have been met by American brain, money and muscle, in less than a year; they know that the ‘cowardly pink-eyed dudes’ will fight to the finish. They know now that these ‘pink-eyed dudes’ are crowding them to the last ditch :.nd it may be possible.that before you get this my address will be, instead of ‘Some-Where-in-"rance’, ‘Some- Where-in-Berlin,’ or ‘Some-¥*aere-in- Americn.’ I would naturely abhor war on the idea o” one nation to ad- just its difficulties with another at the point of the bayo: ct. I was op- posed to this war; the head of the government was o spesed to it; every- body was opposed to it but the kaise and he alone wanted it. He's ot it and can't let go. He’s in it. Fee thought he was on top of the ‘:oward- ly pink-cyed dudes’ from America. but before it was over he ‘vas calline like a wild eat ‘Take him off! take him off!’ and as for me I hope it is net over with him yet. I have a «ood revolver I would like to wear it ovt on him and I believe we have millions of soldiers just as blood-thirsty as I am. “America never did want war, never fought for conquest ard the proudest thoueht of my life is te American flag alwavs stood for liberty and peace. That is the reason we wero never prepared for war, but in taking a retrospective view of ‘he matter, I find we were better prevered than we knes and this preparation was made April 9, 1865 at Appomatiox, when Lee unconditionally surrendered +o Grant. At that time there became a re-united nation ai the cost of more blessed wood bloed than was ever sili- ed on the battlefie’d of any other country, under the sun, prior to or since that time, unt’! the present con- flict in which the world ‘+ entacad It was that surrender that purified America, adjusted an internal do- mestic trouble, leaving us a ‘happy peaceable, home-loving peonle, livine in a union of States as solid ag the rock of Gibralter.

C., TUESDAY, | PRESIDENT REVIEWS ARMY Tells Suldiers They Have Done Their Duty With a Spirit Which Gave It Distinction and Glory. At Humes, France, Christinas Day, President Wilson reviewed a detach- ment of the first army of the Ameri- can Expeditionary forces, In pre- senting the troups, General Pershing “Mr. President and fellow soldiers: We are gathered here today to do honor to the commander of our armies and navies. For the first time an American President will review an American army on foreign soil— the soil of a sister republic beside whose gallant troops we have fought to restore peace to the world, “Speaking for you and your com- rades, I am proud to declare to the President that no army has ever more loyally or more effectively served its country, and none has ever fought in a nobler cause. “You, Mr. President, by your confi- dence and your support, have made the success of our army, and to you, us our commander-in-chief may I now present the nation’s’ victorious army.” In replying, President Wilson said: “General Pershing and fellow com- rades: I wish that I could give to each one of you the message that I know you are longing to receive from those at home who you love. I cannot do that, but I can tell you how every one has put his heart into it. So you have done your duty, and something more. You have done your duty, and you have done it with a spirit which gave it distinction and glory. “And now we ure to hail the fruits of everything. You conquered when you came over, what you carae over for, you have done what it was ap- pointed for you to do. | know what you expect of me. Some time ago a gentleman from one of the countries with which we are associated was dis- cussing with me the moral aspects of this war, and I said that if we did not insist upon the high purpose which we have accomplished the end would not be justified. “Everybody at home is proud of you and has followed every movement of this great army with confidence and affection. “The whole people of the United States are now waiting to welcome you home with an acclaim which prob- ably has never greeted any other army, because our country is like this country, we have been so proud of the stand taken (of the purpose) for which this war was entered by the United States. “You knew what we expected of you. and you did it. I know what you and the people at home expected of me; and | am happy to say, my fellow countrymen, that I do not find in the hearts of the great leaders with whom it is my privilege to co-operate. any differences of principle or of funda- mental purpose, “It happened that it was the privi- lege of America to present the chart of peace and now the process of set- tlement has been rendered compara- tively simple by the fact that all na- tions concerned have accepted that chart, and the application of these principles laid down there will be their application. The world will now know that the nations that fought this war, as well as the soldiers who rep- resented them, are ready to make good not only in the assertion of their own interests, but make good in the establishment of peace upon the permanent foundation of right and of ‘Sustiee, “Because this is not a war in which the soldiers of the free nations have obeyed the masters. You have com- manders, but you have no masters. Your very commanders represent. you in representing the nation, of which you constitute sb distinguished a part. “And everybody concerned in the settlement knows that it must be a peoples’ peace and that nothing must be done in the settlement of the issues of the war which ig not as handsome as the great achievements of the armies of the United States and the allies, “It is difficult, very difficult, then, in any normal speech like this to show you my real heart. You men probably do not realize with what anxiety and care we have followed every step you have advanced and kow proud we are that every step was in advance, and not in retreat; that eve-yv time you set your face in any direction you kept your face in that direction, “A thrill has gone through my veart, as it has gone throurh the hearts of every American, with al- most every gun that was fired and every stroke that was struck in the gallant fighting that you have done, and there has been only one rerret. in America. and that was the regret that every man there felt that he was not there in France, too, “It has been a hard thing to fer- form the tasks ~ r the United States: it has been a hard thing to take part in directing what you did without coming over and helning you to do ft.

Mooresville, Dec. 80 — The Christ- mas holidays here passed very quiet- ly and without any incident to mar the peace of the erstwhile quiet vil. ,lage, except that on Christmas eve, ; when just in front of the Mooresville camwly kitchen, a discharged negro soldier, Paul Hooper, drew a pistol and shot at Pink Sherrill, a young white man, the bullet just elazine the ide of his head, and hit a colored man standing behind Sherrill, givine him a right smart sort of a scalp wound, This darkey was with Hoop- er and a friend of his. Hooper auiet- ly put up his gun and walked off to a negro house, where he was after- wards arrested and taken to States- ville jail by Deputy Sheriff Lloyd Cloaninger, There are conflicting rumors as to what led up to the shooting, which will be more fully breught out at court.

The following dispatch from Vieby, Franee, December 12, to the New York Herald, Paris edition, sent to Mr. J. H. Hoffmann by his son, Ser- geant Wallace Hoffmann, is of spe- ‘ial interest here: “The true facts on the life Amer- can prisoners were forced to lead in Germany are told by Sergeant Edgar M. Halyburton, Company F, 16th In- fantry, who arrived here yesterday, Sergeant Halyburton was a prisoner of war in Germany for thirteen months, He was the “commandant” vf the American prisoners at Rastatt i. and is qualified to describe conditions as they actually existed, 1 “I passed seven months at Tuchel,” said Sergeant Halyburton. “It was a strafe camp and a hell-hele in every yense of the word. We were hitched o ® wagon like horses and forced to jraw wood fourteen kilometres all day long. Dirty German guards were constantly insulting us at the point of hayonets. We wore wooden shoes ind for socks we used a winding of fabric and paper. Seantily clothed ind half-starved, we pulled our wagon through snow last winter that was ibove our knees, * “There were eighteén Americans in Tuchel, I had written teards to he Red Cross from each town we had heen in previously, bup they could iever have been sent, for no answer | > vas received until four months after we reached Tuchal. It was then ‘March 12, 1918) that the firat Red Cross parcels arrived. These parcels saved our lives. If we had been fore- ‘d to continue two months longer on he prison food and under the harsh ‘reatment, | am certain most of us vould have died of starvation.” Sergeant Halyburton an? his com- vades were transferred to Rastatt on \uguat 14, 1918. There were approxi- nately 550 American prisoners in the ‘amp at that dave. At the close of rostilities there were 2,400, “Rastatt was a propaganda camp,” aid Sergeant nin gi Mt vans were in charge of everything vithin the prison confines when we ht rrived. The non-coms, clerks and ger train, ‘itet chigfs were all working hand- ‘n-hand with the propagandist lead- ‘ts, the principal one of whom was ‘one other than Captain von Taus- cher, the .German - An . os implicated in the plot to blow up : bridge in Detroit, Mich. (Captain von Tauscher wag caught vith a suitease of dynamite. He was}. ried, but the jury failed te find “in- ‘ent,” and released him. He was later rdered out of the United States.) “Captain von Tauscher made sev- ral attempts to introduce the Conti- rental Times and ‘The American in turepe’ into Rastatt, but we told him ointhlank we would stand for no erman propagandist paper in tho ylace,” When Sergeant Halyburton and his ‘omrades first reached Rastatt they weanized and demanded that the Ser- ‘eant be given command over all the American prisoners, They were so ‘ersistent that the Prussian general vave his consent.

In the teeth of a northwester, in he chill of a driving snowstorm, mil- lions waited hours until the 10 bat- tleships of the home-coming armada appeared, A New York dispatch says that in| passing in review before the fecreta- ry of the Navy, off the Statue of Lib- | erty, the home-coming ships loomed suddenly out of the mist and as rap- idly disappeared. They seemed almost like platoon craft, grim, gray, majes- tie in their silent might. But as they dropped anchor the skies cleared and they stood revealed in holiday attire. eblaze from stern with multi-colored rennants. To many of those whe lined the shores this flash of sunshine the line isvmbolized the light of peace which ewaited the fleet after the wloom of war from which it had emerged. | Moving at only 10 knots an hour,! the Arizona was the first dread- naught to pass the presidential yacht | Mayflower, on whose bridge stood | Mr. Daniels and Secretary Baker. | With flags masted, sailors and ma- rines manning the rails, the Arizona} swept by, stripped for action. As she} came abreast the Mayflower she} ‘hundered the salute of 19 guns for the Seeretary of the Navy and her band struck up “The Star Spangled | Banner.” A moment and she had fad- | ed again into the mist. The Arizona's guns had not finish- | ed their salute when the Oklahoma began firing and from then on the} ecannonading was continuous. In swift succession followed the Nevada ond the Utah, flagship of Rear Ad- miral Thomas 8S, Rogers, and then the super-dreadnaught Pennsylvania, bearing Admiral Henry T. Mayo. commander-in-chief of the Atlantic | fleet. At two minute intervals came | the New York, flying the flag of Rear | Admiral Hugh Rodman, and the Tex- | as, Arkansas, Wyoming and Florida with two kits ballons. towed by de- storyers, completing the procession. The New York was the first of the battleships to display from her main | mast the “homeward-bound pen- nant,” a long, slender strand of red | white and blue, a foot for every day | ont from her home base. Al!l the ships which followed her carried the pennants and it seemed as if each wes longer than the others. Deep silence followed the last sa Inte and so accustomed had those or the Mayflower become to the roar of the guns, that it seemed hardly pos: “ble that the review had lasted less then 20 minutes. When the last dreadnaught had ‘teamed from sirht, Secretaries Dan- iels and Baker descended from the 'videa, but only for a moment. While the Mayflower remditied at anchor te ive the incoming warshins time tc reach their berths in the Hudson, the British transnort, Saxonia, loaded with sick and wounded Americar ‘woons, hove alongside. The heads o! the navy and war departments again bridge and doffec, their hats to the fighting men. In beginning its tour of the fleet the Mayflower first reached the Flor ida, Jast to anchor. As the vacht moved through the lane of fighting the veterans to starboard, each shij was dressed; and from each of he new errivals came the strains. of the na- tional anthem. It was a stern array of ships, de ‘te the splendor of the flags with whieh they were decorated. All the hattleshivs wore coats of sinister gray. while destroyers and auvilia ries bore the fantastic touch of the camoufleur.

The British premier was, therefore, vocif- ‘ erous for the abolition of conscrip- tion, which would prevent the con- - gtant menace of big standing armies Burope. This attitude of course met with favor among the masses, who oppose compulsory military ser- vice. And the beauty of it is, the ab- olition of big standing armies suits en nN. England to a T.

Un- @er those circumstances the balance Europe would be without land ‘ of consequence; Great Britain continue to dominate the seas. arrangement would be fine for t Britain. GTH OF THE CONFERENCE. The duration of the peace confer- ce is a matter of speculation, pure nd simple. It is impossible for any to know how long the conference last because none, not even the tes, can forecast all the prob- that will come up for solution the differences of opinion as to e settlement. Periods between the battle or armistice in former ars and the demobilization of troops y give an idea, In the Russo-Ja- nese war the period was 13 months; the Boer war ten months; Spanish- ‘American war 16 months; Turko- Russian war, 18 months; Franco- war, 28 months; our own civil war, 17 months, In none of these struggles were there such post-war problems for set- tlement as is the case today. There- fore, if the final peace settlement is made in four to six months, as many people seem to think possible, all rec- ords will be broken. We can only hope for an early settlement, but we must exercise the virtue of patience. Pro of the conference will not ly mean disagreement or : of harmonious co-operation. It may meana more satisfactory and ig agreement. 4 SHOULD BE PUNISHED. It is noticeable that many desert- brs are coming into camp since the istice has been signed. They may that the war being over they days now, let us hope, the delegates to the peace conference | will assemble and get to work.

The en- sincere in their acceptance of Presi- vation. In any event, since the ar- mistice was signed we hear much from that side about the territory a basis for enduring peace. In other words, some of the nations at least seem to have forgotten the noble idealism which did so much to make this war popular, and see only the old style of dividing the spoils among the victors, the strongest grabbing a» much as possible; leaving just such conditions as have followed previous as in the past.: England professes to have no terri- ment to attach the for the linking of German Pacific isl- ands with Australia; and England cost of the war, allies have territorial addition to Alsace-Lorraine, French newspapers ence over German territory Rhine.

Col. Albert 8S Williams, chief of staff of the north- eastern department, has sent letters to police chiefs throughout the State assachusetts urging them not to show leniency toward soldiers who ‘onduct themselves in an objectiona- ‘le manner. He declares “that such nen should be made an example of to ‘rotect the reputation of the soldiers who have been fighting abroad.” The veople will honor and respect the sol- lier so long as the soldier honors and respects the uniform he wears. But when he ceases to conduct himself oroperly he need not expect the peo- le to regard him other than objec: ionable. The police in towns and ‘ties, it is reported, have been reluc- ant to arrest men in uniform, They should not be. Infraction of the law should apply ust as readily to the lischarged soldier in uniform as to ‘ny other civilian. The Landmark is mentioning the subject again because it is important that the public, and the soldiers ar vell, should get the proper viewpoint right now, when discharged soldiers ire beginning to come home. There is nothing too good for the soldiers provided the soldiers conduct them. selves as soldiers and gentlemen, -But the small per centage of toughs found in every large group, should be made to know at the outset that they can- not put over the roughstulf and dis- grace the uniform by hiding under it. There will naturally be a disposition to tolerate conduct among soldiers simply because of the universal re- spect for soldiers, that would not be allowed among civilians. But it is o mistaken view, as Col. Williams shows, and oné that really encourages the unworthy soldier to so conduct himself as te discredit the 9 per cent. of reputable soldiers who con- duct themselves as gentlemen. _ SRR NON RM REON RDA Ute DR AERIS ra President Poteat of Wake Forest College, in a recent public address ex- pressed the opinion that the “world is geared up and oiled to run at least a million years yet.” While Dr. Poteat doesn’t know and doesn’t pretend tc know any more about it than the rest ef us, his prophecy may give comfort to some of the folks who are alway: speculating on the coming of the end; those who set many signs anc are always able to prove from. the Scripture that the end is near, Cu- rious, isn’t it, that so many people give so much concern to the possible ‘ending of time and little concern t the coming of death?

But the English are not a demonstrative peo- ple-—not so excitable and enthusiastic as the French—and it was not ex- pected, therefore, that the ovation to marked as that in Paris. But the Britons surpassed themselves. Their enthusiastic weleome to the Ameri- can President went far beyond that another nation.

The conversations cover years of close intimacy, during which Prince Albert was a frequent guest of the emperor in Berlin. ; Recalling to the ex-emperor their conversations, the prince, in part, ays: “Although you said to me one day that it was not your right to take a! certain action which would have cen- served world peace, yet you told me on the yacht Meteor, on June 28, 1914, in learning of the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand, ‘Now I must do everything over again.” “History will recognize in these manifestations of your confidence the truth of your responsibility for a de- liberate war. In an interview I had with you on the same yacht on the morning of the same day, I noted cer- tain points disclosing your real pur- noses. When I said to you that I be- lieved the majority of the French supported the idea of a rapproach- ment with Germany, you answered me with unusual emphasis: “*Yes, but we must hurry or else it will be too late and other arrange- ments will be necessary to establish the positions of the nations of Eu- Here are the Anglo - Saxons understanding their true interests and trying to group themselves in joint protection against the yellow races.

When [| answered you that France’s pacific ‘ntentions were shown by the tenden- ey to reduce her military forces, you had nothing more to say.” The prince then relates a sensation- al conversation in which the emperor, pointing to a British squadron visit- ing Kiel, foresaw the coming of war!'! “The transformation of your men- tality became evident to me in June, 1914, when, upon the deck of the Ho- henzollern at Kiel, you said to me) with irritation as "you saw the Eng- lish omen come to salute you: “Tf they oblige me to make war, the world will see what it has never known before.’ “Your mind a last gleam of foresight as these fe- rocious views took form.

Gen. John J. Pershing’s account of | his stewardship as commander of the | American expeditionary forces is ven to the public by Secretary Ba- . It is in the form of a prelimi-| nary report to the secretary, covering operations up to November 20, after German collapse. It closes with these words, expressing his feeling for those who served under him: “I pay the supreme tribute to our officers and soldiers of the line. When I think of their heroism, their pa- tience under hardships, their unflinch ing spirit of offensive action, | an filled with emotion which | am un- able to express. Their deeds are im- mortal, and they have earned the eternal gratitude of cur country.” The report begins with Gen. Per- shing’s departure for France. ite striking feature is the section de voted to “eombat operations,” where t tells the story of fighting by the man who directed jt. ‘The first crisis of the German drive had been reached in Pieardy on March 21. “On March 28 | placed at the dis- gal of Marshal Foch all of ou tee to be used as he might decide. At his request the Ist division wansferred from the Toul sector to a dosition in reserve at Chaumont on Vexin. As German superiority in numbers required prompt action. an agreement was reached by which Brit ish shipping was to transport 10 American divisions to the British army area, where they were to be trained and equipped, and additional British shipping was to be provided for as many divisions as possible for use elsewhere, “Qn April 26 the Ist division had gone into the line in the Montdidie: salient on the Picardy battle front. Tactics had been suddenly revolution- ized to those of open warfare, and our men were eager for the test. On the morning of May 28 this division took with splendid dash the town of Can- tigy and all other objectives, which | were organized and held steadfastly | against vicious counter-attacks and one artillery fire. Although local this brilliant action had an electrical. effect, as it demonstrated our fight- | ing qualities under extreme batt conditions, and also that the enemy’ troops were not altogether invinci- ble,’ There followed immediately the German thrust across the Aisne to. | ward Paris. “The allies,” Gen.
