g. Our news columns tell of the
smashing defeat met by one dlvis-
J ion of the Italian army at the
If, hands of the Germans and Austro
t Hungarians. It was awful and a
big loss, but. General Cadorna oi
the Italian forces is still undismay
ed. He is courageous and. re
j*' sourceful and it is confidently pre
dicted that ,he will'come back at
the enemy more vigorously than
ever. For some reason the Ital
ians were taken unawares oy an
army of vastly superior numoera.

But to the intelligence and cou

' able decoration than the diamond

The Army and Navy Insurance
A Partial Summary.
A division of military and naval
insurance of tbe Buroau of War
Risk Insurance has been organ*,
ized as a part of the Treasury de
partment and is in active opera
tion. A number of policies on the
lives of soldiers baye already been
issued, aggregating nearly $25,-
000,000 in insurance. The bene
fits of the law are' available ro all
of the members of the United
States Army, Navy, and Nurses'
Corps.
A short summary of some of
the main features of the law fol
lows:
Premiums for a SIO,OOO policy
begin with $0.30 per month at ages
15, 10, and IT; increase to $0.40
per mouth for the ages 18, IS), and
20; to $0.50 per month for the
ages 21, 22, and 23; to $6.60 per
month for the ages of 24 and 25;
to $0.70 per month for the ages of
20 and 27; to SO.BO per mouth for
the age of 28; to $0.90 per month
for the ages of 20 and 30; to $7
per mouth for the age of 31, with
progressive increases for ages
abovo those, given. The minimum
amouut of insurance that may be
taken out is SI,OOO.
The compulsory allotment to a
wife or children, which is separate
from the insurance,feshall not lie
lews than sls a month, and shall
not exceed one-half a mail's pay.
A voluntary allotment, subject to
regulations, may be as large as
the insured desires, within the
limits of his pay.
In addition, the Government
will pay monthly allowances as
follows;
Class A. In the case of a man
to his wifo (including a former
wife divorced) and to Ins child or
children:
(a) If there be a wife but no
child, sls.
(b) If there be a wife aud one
child, $25.

children, $32.50, with $5 per
month additional lor each addi
tional child.

. The Insolence of Germany.
That was an apt phrase used by
Secretary AlcAdoo—"the Insolence
of Germany"—in describing the de
mand of the German Imperial Gov
ernment that the United States
obey the German war rone decree
and refuse A*merl«an citizens ana
American commerce the right to
use the highways of the sea.
The fact is that insolence and
contempt for. the American nation
and the American people have
marked the attitude and conduct
of the Imperial German Govern
ment from the beginning of the
war down to the present day. It
consistently showed a contempt
for the courage and strength of the
Nation and its willingness and its
ability to maintain its honor and
its rights, and a contemptuous dis
belief in the integrity and loyalty
of the American people toward
toward their Government ana' to
ward themselves.
It was not alone that they insult
ed oyr Nation's honor by the ruth
less murder of our citizens on the
high seas, sending to death non
combatant men and women ana
children, and by denying to our
commerce rights long recognized
by the international law that pre
vails among civilized nations. They
made every effort ana sometimes
with success, to foment strikes ana
disorders among factory ana oth*?r
workers. They sought to debauch
the National spirit of the Ameri
cans. They sought to make trai
tors of American citizens and by
a .systematic campaign of false
hood and chicanery to poison
the minds of the American peo
ple-and more especiaH-y the peo
ple of foreign birth who were liv
ing among us.
They sought to makr traitor* or
slackers of our people and to make
enemies of friendly nations. When
the German ambassador and many
Oerman representatives and citi
zens were living here under our
protection, secure in the honor and
good faith of America, they them
selves were conspiring against the
peace of this country, and were In
effect actually waging war on this
country by giving information 6y
which ships were sunk, and by act
ual acts of war in the way of
the destruction of property ana
liveß committed in this country.
When Ambassador Bernstor/f in
Washington aking for money
to influence the American Congross
Zimmerman, the foreign secretary
in Berlin, was seeking to array
and Japan against us. The
rules of international law regard
ing ambassadors have been held by
honorable nations to be particular
ly sacred; but German con tempt'of
America violated them without
scruple.
Absolute contempt of Americans
courage and willingness ana abili
ty to enforce our rights was shown
by the Oerman Imperial Govern
ment time and again. With one
stroke of the Kaiser's pen in sign
ing the war zone decree it was
sought to destroy more than $3,-
400,000 of our annual commerce.
Our exports to the nations with
which Germany was at war consti
tute the Greater half of our ex
ports to the entire world. Not
all the German Imperial Army and
Navy can damage our commerce as
much as the German Imperial Gov
ernment sought to do it by a sim
ple decree which its insolent con
tempt of the United States led it
to believe would be obeyed by us.
Not yet, and never,, can any na
tion with impunity order the ves
sels of the United States off the
high seas.
The challenge of the Imperial
Oerman Government has been met;
sea and land forces have been or
ganized ; ships have been purchas
ed and are being built; the nation
is being organized all along the
line; nearly $3,000,000,000 have been
loaned the nations fighting Ger
many and more will be furnished
them. The irresistible might o/
this organized Invincible Republic
is going to vindicate American
honor and American rights and es
tablish peace, Justice, liberty and
right for itself and for the worla.
Berlin has invited a comparison
between the German support of the
seventh German war loan and the
American support of the second
Liberty loan. This is another evi
dence of Gorman inability to ap
preciate .American loyalty. How
senseless it Is, how undeserved by
the people of the United States,
has been shown time and again.
And It Is shown again by the sub
scriptions to the second Liberty
loan bonds which overwhelmingly
demonstrate that the American
people are willing to back to the
limit their Government In the pros
ecution of this Just war and show
to the world that, ait the
aaid, the heart of the country
with our fighting men and wltl*
our country's cause.

ANGELL SPEARS ABOUT WAR
AND PEACE.
Rally Day Nov. 9 a Fair On a Scale
—University to Engage in
Farming.
Cor. of The Gleaner.
Chapel Hill, N. C., Oct. 30,
Mi\ Norman Angell, the dis
tinguished publicist and authority
on international problems, recent
ly delivered a powerful address
before the University audience on
"American Policy at the Settle
ment." He made clear the neces
sity of the present war with Ger
many, and what it should accom
plish.
"This war must be fought out
and Germany mast be beaten, but
this will not suffice," Mr. Angell
said. If war is to be avoided iu
the future, he declared, we must
begin now to prepare for peace.
This does not rneau that an early
peace is desirable, but there must
be a dillerent kind of peace from
those made in the past.
Air. Angell recommended a par
liament of the nations to arrange
the final peace terms, the nature
T)f wMch should now be determ
ined. He suggested a peace par
liament of two houses —one to
consist of the diplomats of the
nations and the other to be made
up of the representatives of all
the factions of each country, as
shown in their individual parlia
ments. In this congressTiational
delegations would cease to vote as
a unit, but similar groups from
each of the natious would work
together and thereby effect a more
enduring peace.
Mr. Angell also insisted that
many of our old political doc
trines, such as the independent
sovereignty of the individual State,
must be much modified, and the
problem of permanent peace must
be approached in a new way. War
has become internationalized, said
the speaker, and no longer can
nations wage war individually.
There must be something more
than mere police power. There
must be a law back of this power
to be enforced. States in a so
ciety of nations cannot be inde
pendent of one another. Mr. An
gell stated that Germany should
pay for the damage done to Bel
gium, more for its moral effect
than for the material side.
The Chapel Hill community will
joiD with the people of the coun
try-side in celebrating Rally Day
hero on November 9. As in the
past two years, exhibits of farm
and household products will be
displayed in Memorial Hall and a
full program, of recreation, in
struction and entertainment will
be provided for the day. Prof.
M. C. S. Noble has general direc
tion of the exercises. A special
dinner will be served on the Uni
versity campus for all who come.
Many prizes have been offered
for attractive exhibits
products, garden and orchard pro
duct*, flowers, ueedlework, canned
goods, cooking, antiques and
school work. Moving pictures,
athletic events, etc., will help to
fill a busy day. The whole list of
exhibita will afford a chance to
determine what the community is
doing in many fields of auxiliary
war service.
According to present plans, the
University of North Carolina is
to engage in farming on a large
scale next year. The Mason farm,
the property of the University, of
7. r »0 acres, and about two miles
from town, will be intensively
cultivated for the growing of food
crops. Students will be given an
opportunity to help defray ex
penses by work on the farm. A
capable farm manager will be in
charge.
German People Face a Winter of
Suffering.
A dispatch from Copenhagen,
Denmark, summarizes from Ger
man newspapers some of the
things the German people face for
the winter, as follows:
There is only enough shoe leather
for the use of miners, fishermen,
canal workers and a few allied
trades. The manufacture of
leather footwear for the rest of
the population will soon be sus
pended. They will have to get
along with wooden soles and cloth
uppers.
There i« a big shortage in vege
tables anafiohope of any material
improvement in the fresh vege
table supply. The turnip must
agaiu be one of the main stays of
German diet this winter, although
to a less degree than last year.
The fuel problem has not been
solved, despite all the effort* made
for its solution, and the city popu
lations may expect to notice the
results of this fact keenly from
time to time. The coal commis
sioner prophesies that the pinch
will be felt here and there within
the next few days.
The railway administration of
Saxony announce* that railway
travel will not be allowed without
special permission.
Finally, after the fashion plates
for winter are out, the government
has decreed that women's skirts
must be made with a reduced
amount of material, which will
necessitate their being made both
shorter and tighter.
AN OLD MAN'S STOMACH.
As we /row older and less active
lesa and leas food is required to
meet the deands of our bodies. If
too much is habitually takes the
stomach will rebel. When a man
reaches the advanced age of 85 or

PBEBIOENT DECLARES IT TO BE
ONE OF FUNDAMENTAL QUES-
TIONS OF DEMOCRACY.
Says "We Ought to Be Quickened to
Give This Question of Woman Suf
frage Our Immediate Consideration"
—Addresses New York Delegation.
Washington. President Wilson
gave full Indorsement to woman suf
frage as an Immediate Issue In every
statp. >
Addressing a delegation of 100
leaders of the New 'York state woman
suffrage party who called at the white
house to obtain an egression in sup
port of the campaign In that state,
the President In emphatic terms de
clared that woman suffrage is one ol
the fundamental questions of democ
racy whose proper settlement Is de
manded by the Issues of the war. He
praised the spirit, capacity and vision
of American women In the war.
"I believe," he said, "that just be
cause we are quickened by the ques
tions of this war we ought to be
quickened to give this question of
woman suffrage our Immediate con
sideration."
Speaking as "one of the spokesmen
of a great party," the President pledg
ed his hearty support and added:
"I want, to speak for myself and say
that It seems to me that this Is th«
time for the states of this union to
take this action."
Explaining his leaning toward suf
frage as a state rather than national
Issue, he said: "I perhaps may be
touched a little too much by the tra
ditions of our politics traditions
which lay such questions almost en
tirely upon the states, but I want to
see communities declare themselves
quickened at this time and show the
consequences of the quickening."
The addresses were delivered In the
east room of the white house, In re
sponse to remarks by Mrs. Norman de
R. Whltehouse.
The suffrage delegation returned to
New York confident that the Presi
dent's enthusiastic Indorsement would
have its effect at the election Novem

FOOD DEALERSMUST
MPT FAIR PROFIT
POOD ADMINISTRATION ANNOUN
CE* PROFITEERING BY RE
TAILERS MUST STOP.
SUPPUES ILL BE SHOT OFF
Wholesalers Will Be Prohibited From
Selling to Dealers Seeking Undue
Profits Quard Consumer Against
High Prioes.
Washington.—Profiteering by retail
dealers In foodstuffs Is now made Im
possible, the food administration an
nounced, nnder a plan to cat off sap
plies to those not satisfied with rea
sonable margins. Manufacturers,
wholesalers and other handlers of
focyls whose business will go under li
cense will not be permitted to sell to
distributors who seek undue profits.
"This is one of the most sweeping
safeguards," the announcement said,
"against high prices which will be
Incorporated in the licensing system,
for which complete rules and regula
tions will be made known within a few
days."
This plan, food administration offi
cials believe, will give the government
entire control of retail prices. Whole
salers and others who continue to sell
to retailers after they are forbidden
to do so by the food administration
will be denied the right to sell goods
under license.
Authority for extending control to
the retailer'is cited in the announce
ment as follows:
"The small retailers of food, of
whom tiTere are several hundred thou
sand in the country, while exempt
from the licensing provisions, are
nevertheless subject to other provi
sions of the food control act Every
retailer, as well as every other handler
of food, Is forbidden under the law
to make any unreasonable charge, to
hoard, to monoffellie, waste, or de
stroy food, or to conspire with anyone
to restrict the production, distribution
or supply, or exact excessive prices on
any necessities. There are no penal
ties provided, but the food administra
tion hopes that the arrangement of
restricting supplies to violators of the
law will be of some effect, for the re
taller will find himself unable to buy
goods from any wholesaler or manu
facturer."
State federal food administrators
will be directed to keep a watch for
violators and send to the food admin
istration the names of retailers asking
excessive prices.
LATEBT REPORTS BRING
RELIEF TO WASHINGTON
Word That the Italian Line Is Holding
Relieve* Anxiety.
Washington.—Wotji from Rome that
the Italian line waa holding against
the terrific assault Of the Austro-Ger
man forces was received by official
Washington with eager Interest and
frank relief. Military authorities here
have not disguised' their keen anxiety
as press reports showed the Italians
falling back under the crushing blows
of the enemy.
Satisfaction was found also tonight
In the announcement from London
that steps had been taken by the
French and British to support Hie
Italian front. There was no Indica
tion of what operations that . an
nouncement might foreshadow.
Even accepting the German claims
at face value, many officers here be
lieve General Cadorna will be able to
check the drive If the morale of Ma
army was not shattered. The an
nouncement from Rome that all ele
ments of the Italian forces were obey
ing orders of the general staff was
viewed as setting at rest, for the
time at least, the gravest fears for the
Snal outcome of the struggle.
The announcement was taken to
mean that General Cadorna had suc
ceeded In reuniting the forces scat
tered by the first fierce rush of the
Austro-Oermans, and was falling back
steadily and behind a well organized
defense to the line selected for a
stand. 5, -TV

WINS FIRST PRIZE.
Industrial Exhibit for Alamance Coun
ty Wins First Prize in Glass B
at Negro State Fair.
The Some-Makers Club, composed
of the women and girls in the various
school districts, made a very credit
able exhibit at the Negro State Fair
in Raleigh, October 22-27. Mrs.
bertha Vincent, Colored Supervisor
and Industrial Worker for Alamance
county, carried these exhibits, which
consisted of specimens of sewing, a
few handicrafts, canned fruits and
vegetables, jellies and preserves, to
Raleigh. Prizes were offered to the,
counties making the largest and best
displays. ' Five counties represent
ing industrial work entered by
classes. Wake county took first
prize in Class A, and Alamance
county took first prize in Class B.
It is very gratifying to see such pro
gress along industrial lines among
the negroes of Alamance. It is
hoped that the exhibits for the Home-
Makers Club of Alamance county
will win first prize at the Negro
State Fair in 1918.

rural routes from other postoffices
in the above mentioned county.

domiciled in the territory of a post
office in the county and who meet
the other requirements set forth
in Form No. 1977. This form and

above or from the United States
Civil Service Commission at Wash
ington, D. C. Applications should

after enter it shall, upon being
honorably discharged therefrom,
be permitted to resume his posi
tion in the postal department
which he left to enter such
service."
However, any person appointed
to this position may, in the dis
cretion of the Post Office Depart
ment, be assigned to other parts
