m. The Mexican theatre was crowd
ed with old and young to see "The
Fall of A Nation''—a most wonder
ful production. The scenic effect
was wonderful and the quickening

No one saw It without having his
love of "The Land of Liberty" forti
fied and a feeling that "prepared
ness" should be taught as ele
mentary principles to maintain
peace and guarantee democracy.
In the\vent of war, this nation

HEENAN HUGHES, Mayor.
Will a Christian Fight?
Cor. of The Gleaner.
Elon College, April 13.—"The
Christian man is the fightingest
man on earth", declares President
Harper in discussing before the
Y. M. C. A. last evening the ques
tion, "Will A Christian Fight" ?
"Bathe will not fight for himself,"
he immediately added.
Dr. Harper discussed the issue
of the international situation
thoroughly and declared that no
nation ever had a more righteous
cause for resorting to force than
the American people have today.
The situation is evenmore humani
tarian in its demands upon our
spirit of helpfulness to our brother
men than the righteous Spanish-
American war, which liberated
Cuba, because now we are to re
store the freedom of the seas and
guarantee the rights of neutrals.
The speaker showed that the
first law of Biology is self-preser
vation. The Bible, he declared,
nowhere teaches A JPa" to use
force Co save his own life. Self
preservation is selfish and anti-
Christian. A Christian must, not
fight in obedience to its behest.
But the first law of Christianity
is self-sacrifice. The Christian
man who will permit innocent
children and pure women to be
outraged in his presence without
throwing himself in the forefront
to protect and rescue them may
be a biological biped, but he is no
Christian. Under such circum
stances a Christian man is the
fightingest man on earth.
/ The men who came out to hear
the address and who overflowed
the Y. M. C. A. hall and had re
course to the College Chapel
almost to a man gave hearty as
sent to the conclusion of President
Harper.
The selective conscription bill
was incidentally explained and
defended as the proper course for
our nation to pureue in its effort
to meet the crisis we face. In
conclusion all were urged to be
calm and prayerful, ready to go
on quietly In life-preparation, if
not selected by the Government
for its defense, or equally ready
to yield up even life that humani
tarian principles may obtain
throughout the earth.
Two to Jail and One to Roads.
Tuesday two negroes, named Ce
cil (o* Casar) Freeland and William
Massey, took a horse and buggy
from W. A. Loy's stables in Bur
lington to drive to Mebane, they
said. Policemen Trolinger and Bos
well were put on the track and
caught them at the fork of the
road between here and Haw River.
They were hailed before 'Squire
Euliss, charged with taking a
horse and buggy, a lap robe, over
coat and pocket knife. A razor was
also found on Massey. In default
of bond both were sent to Jail. An
other who took the opportunity to
ride with them, named Henry
James, and could srive no satisfac
tory account of himself, was sent
to the roads for 30 days for va
grancy and seemed to b? pleased
at getting off so easy.
German Spies (?)
Now that this country and Ger
many are at outs, almost every
stranger and strange-looking per
son that comes around is regarded
with some degree of suspicion.
Chief Boyd Trolinger and Police-,
man W. H. Boswell looked a couple
over the first of the week. One
who had been in Burlington Mon
day, walking around and looking
up at some of the tall b-jildings,
came this way and they investi
gated him. He had a small grip
in which It was expected to lino
some mysterious implements, but It
turned out to be a kit of paint
brushes. He was a Greek paint
er. Another was looked over here
Tuesday. He had a small pack
with a few fancy pieces. H» was
an Assyrian peddler. When told of
their suspicions as to him he said,
"Me no Germ'."- Thus it goes and
tales of spies are passed along.
It- in ay be observed in passing
that Orville Wright hasn't yet
died ot a broken heart, which is
the reported cause of Count Zep
pelin's demise.
Considering how many collegiate
debates and oratorical contests
have been held in the United
States, the number of problems
that it still faces is unaccountably
large.
China prefers to do things back
wards, and focA time it appeared
that she wv going to declare war
on Germany and then reinforce
the act with a severance of diplo
matic relations.
Another unpleasant feature of
the situation is that should war
come, Col. Roosevelt, realizing
that it has been a good while since
the diplomatic break with Ger
many occurred, will again go
throu h the ceremony, in hia own
inimitable way, of offering to sac
rifice himself for hia country.
The Revolution in Russia was
the most wonderful in his tor} - .
Nercr before has n great country
risen up and kicked a tj rant off
the throne and established a re
public with so little bloodshed as
Russia has done. Long live free
Russia.
