fc GRAHAM, N. C., Dec. 13,1917,
Jerusalen is no more in the hands
of tho unspeakable Turk who ha*
held the Holy City for twelve cen
turies. It has been wrested from
the Turks and is occupied by the
English and other forces of the Al
lies. All Christendom will rejoict
over the outcome in Palestine.
Russia's part in aiding the Allies
against the Central Powers—the
common enemy amount** to hotliing
now, in that that county lias a civil
war of its own on hand for the time,
which will result at any time, it is
believed, in the overthrow of the
element that has temporary control
in the North and is dickering with
Germany about peace.
The war situation on the European
battle fronts is at this time the most
Critical in many months. On ac
count of the cessation of active fight
ing on tho Uussian front the Ger
mans have been able to mints enorm
ous armies on the Western and
Italian fronts, which greatly out
number the Allied armies, and they
hope to gain advantage by sheer
numbers. So far no material ad
vantage has resulted in favor of the
Teutons, They liure mude savage
and determined assaults with fright
ful lossei of men, but the Allies have
as determinodly held them back.
Food Administrator Hoover, a*
the da.vs pass, is getting the food
proposition better in hand. His is
it task that no one comprehended
to any great extent. He has haa
to get a line un the hoarders,
prlflteris— the hogs, if you please
and all who were gathering and
holding necessary foods to squeeze
and exact the last farthing from
the consumer*,. He is first going
after those a higher up" and the,)
will not escape so lightly as they
perhaps, have imagined. He will
come on down the line. The gov
ernment is behind him. The task
la immense, but enormous and un
justifiable profits out of helpless
victims will not nnd should not be
tolerated.
To Aid American Prisoners.
American prisoners of war in
Germany arc to be supplied with
food and clothing by the American
Red Cross. A systematic plan ol
sending parcels to Hie German
prison camps at regular intervals
Is being worked out by the War
and Navy Departments and the
lied Cross, and it is hoped there
will be no suffering ou the part ol
our captured lighting uieu through
lack of adequate nourishment and
weariug apparel. Parcels will be
seat into Germany from the dis
bursing agency of the lied Cross
at Berne, .Switzerland, which
already bus been supplied with
4,500 tons of food for auy |>ocisible
emergency. This food supply com
prises 1,800,000 individual ra
tions, or enough to feed 10,000
men for six months. The food
supply to Americano in German
prison camps will be the Mine in
quality unit quauiity as that sup
plied by the Government to tba e
in lighting service.
There also will be special rations
lor luvalids, consisting of broth,
malted milk, jellied chickeu, and
various valuable helps In conva
lescence. No doubt exists that
the system of prisou relief planned
by the American Red Crost will
work out satisfactorily, it liaviug
been ascertained that the faun
sort of relief undoi taken by the
French and Knglish for their
prisoners of war in Germany lis*
been carried out with small per
centage of loss or failure of sup
plies to reach (host) for whom in-!
tended.

"Neglect of the first symptoms

Growth of the Army Ordnance
Department
Washington, D. C.. Dee. 12„-Re
fore the war began the United
States Government employed ap
proximately 600,000 persons in the
civil branch. Now that this coun
try is actually engaged in the con
flict, the great army of workers
behind the fighting forces is grow
ing by tens of thousands. A good
example of this rapid addition or
employees is in the civilian force
of the Ordnance Department of the
Army. Seven large privately own
ed office buildings in Washington
are required to house the officials
and clerks of this force, in addition
to the usual quarters in the State,
War and Navy Building, which
were sufficient oefore Uncle Sam
began to prepare for war. The
Gun Division alone, which did not
exist as a separate division before
we entered the war, now has mor."
than 2,000 civilian employees oe
sides about 300 commissioned offi
cers, and ijt is estimated that this
division will oe three times
Its present sire within a
year. The great manufacturing
plants of the Ordnance Department
in various parts of the country
employed about 10,000 men last
spring. ' Now 20,000 are at work it
these establishments.
The task of supplying these
thousand* of workers in the face of
the greatest demand for labor the
country has ever known is the
problem of the United States Civil
Commission. At this time great
numbers of men and women are
needed to fill stenographic and
other positions in the offices at
Wsshington snd mechanical trades
and technical positions In the Gov
ernment plants for manufacturing
artillery and ammunition. The
locsl boards of civil service exam
iners at the post offiees in all cities
are furnishing detailed information
concerning positions in which men
snd women are needed.

Mrs. J.M. Crawford, W. Harden
St., Graham, says: 'I suffered so
severely from bsckache that I couia
hardly get around. Oft»n sharp
twigea caught e across my loins,
wss so tired thst I could hardly

Southern people who were getting

remarkable. She has fine color,

Red Cross Transportation.
As a result of congestion and
various war conditions affecting
the shipment of goods across the
ocean and on the railroads of Eu
rope, the American Red Cross has
organized a special transportation
service to handle the viist quanti
ties of medical and relief supplies
consigned almost daily to France,
Belgium, Italy, Serbia, and other
belligerent countries. This new
branch of Red Cross activity has
been made possible through the
co-oporation of tbe French, Brit
ish and Italian Kovermnents,
United States Sbippiug Board and
the leading steamship and rail
road companies. President Wil
son has taken a personal interest
ip the establishment of the service.
As a result of the co-operated
effort, practically all the cargo
space needed for the shipment of
the essential Red Cross supplies
abroad bas been placed at the dis
posal of the War Council. The
Red Cross will have space on every
steamer chartered by the United
States Shipping Board, and its
supplies also will be carried on
army transports. Shipments will
be distributed among as many
steamers as possible so as to af
ford the minimum chance of losses
at sea.
Getting supplies across seas does
not, however, end the problem of
transportation. The French rail
roads are overtaxed and have all
they can do in taking care of the
milltaiy needs of the army. In
consequence, the American Red
Cross has gone about the develop
ment of Its own motor transport
service. At present, this service
embraces some four hundred mo
tor vehicles, with a capacity to
handle about 360 tons of supplies
daily. The establishment of this
important service has necessitated
appropriations to date approxi
mating 11,500,000.

Further details regarding the
sinking of the British steamer
Apapit, which was torpedoed re

with a Joss of some 80 passengers
and mem Iters of the crew, says the
Steamer with IGO passengers was
proceeding to Liverpool in a calm
sea when she was struck by two
torpedoes at 4 a. m.
The shock was tremendous and
the passengers were mostly women
and children and invalids. There
was no panic, although the vessel
was going down rapidly. Passen
gers, in the face of imminent peril,
helped one another to secure life
belts and then in orderly fashion
fileg. out on deck and into life
boats, which were immediately
lowered. The work of transfer
ring the women and children to
the small boats was carried out
without a hitch, and with remark
able quickness.
As the boats rowed away from
from the liner, subma
rines, ot which it is believed there
were two, came to the surface and
commenced to shell the open
boats, and despite the utmost
efforts of the oarsmen to get out of
range, some casualties occurred.
