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.

"Thousands of doubtero have come to try this new medicine and 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.

"My wife had set ere stomach .trouble for n number of years. Her ippe tite was gone and the gas on her stomach pained her so she could not sleep. Her condition was so bad we were finally ready to give up all hqpe. I read Of the many Southern people who were getting well with the Dreco treatment and sent for some. It worked wonders in her system. Everyone thinks it remarkable. She has fine color, her eyes are bright and she eats sleeps well now. I am recom mending it to everyone."

Having been a sufferer from nervousness ana a general run down condition for a long time.- Just like my Wife's case, Dreco was the first medicine that ever did me any good, and "we both have spent hundreds of dol lars trying to get relief. Why, I gained 12 pounds since I started the treatment! The entire neigh hood is surprised at the change in my appearance. I want the world to know what Dreco did for me and mine." •'lt Seemed my Stomach Was on Fire." "I suffered from gastritis, consti pation and kidney trouble," de clares H. W.

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. Rev. W. W. Rowe, pastor of Grace Reformed .church, Newton, has been called to the pastorate of Corinth Reformed chnrch, Hickory, to succeed Rev. Dr. J. L. Murphy, deceased.

I sleep fine, bowels act naturally, can eat any thing 1 want and am hungry ail the time. I gained four pounds in weight." , "I Threw Away My Crutches." Here's a case that many people say borders on the miraculous. W. M. Dull, the popular West Main St. contractor and builder, of Staunton, Va., was all crippled up with rheu matism of the joints and muscles. This is what he says in a signed statement. "I havet aken lots of medicine ana none ever done me any good. I started to take Dreco ant thre? weeks after I started I THREW AWAY MY CRUTCHES and was able to resume. I haven't had a Sain since. / I also gained 4 pounds i weight." v Dreco Within the Reach of All. These are few cases se lected at randonrtrom the mass of signed testimonials received (rom scores of men and women In all the walks of life. Who is there can doubt the plain Straightforward statements oft hese people? Dreco has more than once been called the 'Miracle Medicine" by folks who tell wonderful stories of its quick and effective action in stomach trouble, kidney disorders, rheumatism, catarrh,, constipation, liver troubles and ailments of the blood and nerves. Dreco is not an expensive medi cine. It is now witnin the reach of the humblest laborer as well as his wealthiest brother. It is pleas ant to take and remarkably quick in action. Dreco is recommended and sold in Graham by Graham Drug Company. Shelled Women and Children. Further details regarding the sinking of the British steamer Apapit, which was torpedoed re cently by an enemy submarine 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. Two soldiers from Caldwell county, Private Walter Estes and Private Claude Estes, brothers, died of pneumonia at Camp Se vier within three days of each other. They were sons of Mr. and Mrs. Jo. Estes of Collettsville, Caldwell county. The 0-year-old daughter of H. H. Lassiter, Panther Branch town ship, Wake county, was almost instantly killed Saturday when run over by an automobile, which was driven by Wnyland Young. Said to have been an accident, the driver not to blame. Rev. S. R. McCorkle, colored, whose home is in Greensboro and who is said to be pastor of a cir cuit in Caldwell county, visited Greensboro grocery stores fre quently with a suit case. When they got onto his game they found enough goods at his home—mostly foodstuffs—to stock a small store. The reverened is in jail.
