POLITICS PATRIOTISM
In a recent Bpeech (Jov. liickett
expresaed himself in favor of Home
aort of agreement between Demo
crata and Republicans for an equit
able dmttion of offices to avoid par- ,
tisan atrife in the elections to be I
held this year. The Governor's j
Eutopian position has been both ap- ,
proved and disapproved, with dis
approval preponderating. The de
pendable patriotic American citizen, ,
who atands for his country and its
' reaaonable aims and purposes, will
not allow partisan politics to swerve
him from doing his all in defense of
the flag that guarantees to him per
aonal liberty in the greatest and
beat democratic government the
Myrld haa ever known.

Late dispatches Inlimnte that
the relations between Germany
and Austria-Hungary are strained
k on account of the unwllllngneaa
of the Austilana to join In the in

by the Germans. It remains to
be aeen' whether the lluna can
control the Auatrians to the ex
tent of forcing them to do so
i against their will. The action of
the Auatrians brings out the fact
' that they have more res poet for

PUTS BUWE ON HMDS
Declare* Situation to Be Moat Crltloal
in Country's History—Many Food
Store* at Point of Exhaustion.
Washington.—The eastern part of
the United State* face* a food short
age likely to continue for the next
sixty day*.
In making this disclosure Pood Ad
ministrator Hoover declared that ths
situation is the most critical In tlt»
country'* history and that In many o't
the large consuming area* reserve
food store* are at the point of ex
haustlon.
The whole blame Is put by the food
administrator on railroad congestion,
which he says also has thrown the
food sdmlnlstratlon far behind In its
program for feeding the allies. The
only solution he sees. Is a greatly In
creased rail movement of foodstuff*
even to tlie exclualon of much other
commerce.
It was evident that the railroad ad
minlstratl n 1* Inclined to reient Mr.
Hoover'* blame of the ralk-oad*, and
Director Oeneral McAdoo declared he
was ready to provide evory transporta
tion facility for expediting food move
ment. The railroad administration,
he said, had suggested that farmers
be urged to release their grain hold
ings that large number* of available
car* might be utilized In moving them.
Cereal exports to the allies. Mr.
Hoover'* statement says, will J>e 45,-
000,000 bushels short on and
meat shipment* also are far short
of the amounts promised. *
Inability to move the crops, Mr.
Hoover sets forth, has suspended the
law of supply and demand and has
created a price margin between pro
ducer and consumer wider than It ever
waa before.
A large part of ths corn crop Is
about to apoll because It Is not mov
ing to terminals for drying. The per
centage of soft corn In last year'*
crop," all of which must be dried If It
I* to be saved, -I* the largeit ever
known. Estimates placed the amount
as high as a billion bushels.
Potatoes, the food administrator
declares, are spoiling In, the produc
ers' hands while consumer* have been
•upplled only from summer garden
crop* and atore* carried over.
ARMY OFFICIAL*
SHOW SURPRISE
' At Reports That Qerman Airmen Con-
I trol American Sector.
Washington.—Army officials show
ed every evidence of surprise at press
dispatches from Prance telling of Oer
mas control of the air over the sector
of the front hold by the American
forces. Tbey would make no com
ment for publication, however, and
Secretary Baker also was allent be
yond saying• that his advice* from
Oeneral Perahlng made no mention of
■noh a situation.
Disclosure* of the condition* de
scribed by the dlipatche* come* on
the heel* of Secretary Baker** an
nouncement that Ameiican-bnllt bat
tle planes have been shipped to Prance
five months ahead of the original
schedule and soon would be ready In
quantity. This statement doe* not
mean that the whole program for the
American air fleet* Is so far ahead
and It I* understood that actually It Is
not far from the schedule one wsy or
ths other, The exeat statu* of ths
program Is a carefully guard od secret.
Secretary Baker aald In response to
question* shout the cable dlapatchs*
that any publicity of that neturo must
come from General Perahlng, who
alone la able to Judge of the military
value of the Information.
It was obvlou* around ths war de

Two Great Evenings For People of
Refinement and Culture—Eton
College Auditorium.
That is what the Red Cross of
Elon College offers the people of
Alamance and Guilford counties
on Friday and Saturday evenings,
March Ist and 2nd at8:00o'clock.
The tw great cinemalogues,
Pilgrims Progress and P>irsifai,
costing SIIB,OOO and which were
given for fifty consecutive nights
in New York City and Brooklyn
and for ten nights in Richmond, I
will "foe preseuied and the charge
for both evenings will foe but fitly
cents; 35 cents for a single even
ing; childreb 16 cents and 23 cents
respectively.
. Accompanying the one-half ton
of films will be appropriate music
by Mrs. Frances Ray and an ex
planatory lecture by Colonel
Frederick Ray. Of the perform
ances, Newell Dwight Hillis Hays:
"Col. Riiy's presentations cannot
be praised too highly. Bunj an's
great epic has never before, per-!
haps, beeu fully appreciated as a
dramatic, picturesque and fasci
nating stdry."
The Brookyu Knglesays: "A*
Barton Holmes and Dwight Kimm
dorf present the world to u.«in>
Travelogue, so Frederick It.iy
brings to us the great.ciasxics —in
Cine dialogue."
What Is a ciueuialugut I
"Cinema" is Motion Pittur-*
"Logue" the Spoken Word. But
the Kiederick Hay C iiieinslogiies
—which recently ciowded four of
the largest church auditoriums in
this city for eight nights—stand
for more than this bare interpr •
tation. For one hour anil a half
each evening the eye and the ear
are charmed by music, stor\. pic
ture and song-all employed to;
illuminate and popularize great j
classic themes;■^^Nflih.iniiJ'-f ll like,
nature lias ever before been pre- j
■ented in this city.
Frederick Hay is well equipped
for this particular field of en
deavor. With fine presence aud
magnetic personality, he handles
his subject and his audience with
equal ability. He has a splendid
speaking and singiug voice. His
well told stories and incidental
ninging, together with Frances
Ray's musical accompaniments
would—without even pictorial ac
cessory—create an evening of en
joyment.
The music is a feature of these
Cinemalogues. The well selected
and appropriate solos and obli
gatos played by Frances Hay on
the Pipe Organ were greatly ap
preciated.
The pictures—made in Italy—
are far above the average "fea
ture" productions. The photog
raphy, scenic effects, portrayal of
characters, grouping, and the in
telligent conception of the subject
by all concerned, give evidence of
skillfurdlrection.
The production wim smooth.
The operator, Mr. Clark, with his
temporary but complete portable
equipment, gave a fine picture.
The v perlect blending of the
story aud singiug with the pic
tures and the musical accompani
ment throughout 1b very effec
tive.
But above all, the subjects
chosen for these Cinemalogues
appealed very strongly to thoso
who really enjoy the highest and
best in literature, music and pic
torial art. In this day when mush
trash, horseplay and mushy senti
ment predominate iu the average
entertainment and the dexterous
hurling of custard pi*s is a prom
inent feature in inauy film pre
sentations; it is refrenhing to turn
to artistic efforts which satisfy
our nobler senses ami leave with
us the consciousness of an even
ing well spent --HoslouTranscript.

STORY.
University News Letter.
The Red Cross owes its first in
spiration to a wealthy English girl
by the name of Florence Nightin
gale. She made the reform of
hospitals and the care of the
wounded in the Crimean War her
life work. In London she estab
lished a school, which still bears
her name, for the specialized
training of hospital nurses. She
lifted nursing to the rank and ,
dignity of an independent profes- ,
siou and succeeded in making it
remunerative enough to attract
the finest type of yonng woman
hood.
A Swiss by the name of Henri i
Duuant, following the path point-- i
od out by Floreqce Nightingale,
I proposed an int ruational organi- i
zation of mercy whose ideals ■
should be humanity and neu- i
'traliiy. Through his efforts in 
11801 a council of representatives i
| from fourteen nations met in
Geneva and adopted a treaty which i
led to the establishment of the 
.Red Cross aq a relief agency in i
time of war. 
l iie'crying need forsuch service i
had been recognized and met, as i
I.ii' as possible, in Our owu coun- 
Ir_\ at the time of the Civil War
It} ilim activities of such women i
as Dorothea Dix and Clara Bar- i
inn, but it was not until a score
of years later that the Red Cross
wit* established on this side of the
Atlantic. Clara Barton was in i
I Europe during the War of 1870
anU saw the wonderful results of
the treaty of Geneva fn operation
—doctors and nurses from the
'opposiug armies working side \fy
'to succor and to save. On her
j return she devoted her energies
unceasingly to persuading Con
! gress to become a party to the
i treaty of Geneva. At last in 1882
success crowned her efforts, and
somewhat later Congress granted
the charter under which the So
ciety is now operatiug.
Clara Barton was influential
also in extending the work of the
Ited ( ross to the relief of emer
gency suffering in time of peace
as well as in time of war.
Just a short time before we
entered the present war a mag
nificent building was opened in
Washington as a home for the
American Red Cross Society. It
bear^this inscription: "A Me
morial built by the Government
of the United States and Patriotic
Citizens to the Women of the
North and the Women of the South
held in Loving Memory by a now
United Country."
Organisation.
The President of the United
States is the President of the Red
Cross.
The Chairman of the Central
Committee is an ex-President of
the United States. _
The tremendous business is at
tended to by a Vice-Chairtnan, a
General Manager, and a Central
Committee, with various officers
to assist them, and is divided
among a number of departments
and bureaus, each with special
lines of activity—the bureau of
development, the bureau of pub
licity, the woman's burean, the
nursing bureau, the bureau of
civilian relief, the bureau of sup
plies, the bureau of military re
lief, the bureau of accounting, the
bureau of communication.
The United States is divided
into five regions, each with head
quarters, officers, and bureaus
corresponding to the officers and
bureaus at Washington. '
In each of these five divisions
are organized the local chapters
in every community where the
people are willing to give their
labor and to pay for the materials
which their labor turns into finish
ed articles.
Each chapter has its officers —a
chairman, a 'vice-chairman, a
treasurer, a secretary, ah execu
tive committee, further, it has
its bureaus, known as sections,
according to the sorts of work it
is able to perform—military re
lief, civilian relief, publicity, com
munication, etc.
What It la.
The conduct of war requires
three sort* of human activity: the
flghtiug, the supplying of thf
fighters with the thousands of ma
terials they must have, and the
relief of the want and suffering
that follow in the wake of the
fighting on the part both of the
fighters and of the non-combat
ants. The first of these is done
by the army and navy, the second
by the various industries, and the
third by the Red Cross.
The Red Cross is a corporation
chartered by Congress "to volun
teer aid to the sick and wounded
of armies iu time of war, to act in
' matters of voluntary relief and In
ateord| with the military and
naval authorities as a medium of
communication between the peo
ple of the Uniied States of Ameri
r ca and their army and navy, and
'• to continue and carry on a system
' of national and international re
. lief in time of peace and to apply
the same in mitigating the suffer
■ iugs caused by pestllenoe, famine,
\ fire, floods, and other great na
tional calamities, and to devise
- and carry on measures for pre
> venting the same."
The Red Cross is a society of
mercy, healing, sympathy, tender
ness, and love.
The Red Cross is an agency of
) reconstruction.
I What It IIM.
f In No lfau's Land it has its
■ stretcher bearers going oat under
t the hail of shot snd shell to find
; and to bring in the wonnded while
| there is yet time to save them.
In the trenches it has its first
: aid stations, gceat underground
1 dugouts where rikilldd and tireless
doctors administer at the first poe-
sible moment what is essential for
the Bavin? of life.
Hack of the lines it lias its im
mense bue hospitals manned by
ixpert surgeons and.nursm work
ing day and night to restore, to
ease pain, to reconstruct broken
bodies and shattered nerves.
Plying back and forth between
the trenches and hospitals it main
tains a vast ambulance service
more exposed to destruction from
the enemy's batteries than the men
in the trenches themselves.
Along t be lines of march to and
from the front it has its refresh
ment stations —places of rest for
tired mfen, places where the sick
and exhausted receive comfort
and cure.
Back of the invaded territory it
has its headquarters for refugees
fleeing before advancing armies,
where the women and children
and old men find warm clothing
and good food and dry shelter.
In each of the oßuntries of our
allies it maintains a commission
of efficient business men to study ,
the needs at first hand and to
organize the stupendous servico
ifi nil its manifold branches.
Under their direction are thous
ands of workers—doctors, nurses,
orderlies, ambulance drivers,
stretcher-bearers, supply agent?,
distributing agents, shipping
agents, clerks, stenographers, and
typewriters—each with exact and
definite tasks to perform.
Back home, in every State, in
every city, in every 'town, it bas
its chapters of patriotic men and
women engaged in the manufac
ture of the vast qnantities of sup
plies the doctors and nurses have
such urgent need of—things that
the factories cannot mako fast
enough, things tlikt must be made
by hand and that must be pro
tected from dangers of disease—
tens of thousands of surgical
dressings, hospital garments,
sheets, pillows, clothing.

RUSSIAN OFFICIALS TAKE STEPS
TO CHECK MARCH OF
THE TEUTONS.
HIE SAMS OVER TO
,Undsr Penalty of Death Russians Ara
; Ordered by Bolahevlkl to Realat
Advance of German*.
] Facing absolute subjection at thf
hands of the advancing Qermnaa, the
Russian premier and commander-in
chief have taken what atepe they
could to Initiate at least a nominal
defense against the Invaders of their
'country. Orders directing that guer
rilla warfare be carried on and plac
ing Petrograd In a state of siege have
'been Issued by Lenlne and Krylenko,
and It is expected that the German*
Iwlll meet with some resistance before
'long.
• That the Teutons can be tempor
arily checked, however, is . doubted
'even In Petrograd. The Russian
army'* debacle apparently Is so com
plete that there is no shadow of au
thority over its units. Berlin/reports
that the first Esthonlan regiment has
deserted in a body and offered Its
iservlceb to the German commander
who is operating In the northernmost
Baltic province. The Russian navy,
too, Is completely disorganized and,
while It is desired to withdraw th*
warships from Reval and Helsingfors
to Kronstadt, It is believed that this
operation is impossible, in view of
the disuse info which the Baltic fleet
has fallen. Only the submarines are
in a seaworthy condition. It Is
ported. \ f
, There Is as yet no definite advices
as to the rumored fall of the Lenlne-
Trotzky government. The proclama
tion directing that resistance be of
' fered to the German advance, how
ever, did not bear the name of
Trotzky who hitherto has been a vir
tual dictator, which may be signifi
cant. _
' The Germans have pushed still fur-
I ther eastward. In the far north, the

LARGE DETACHMENTS'
ORDERED TO CAMP GREENE
Will Be an Aaaembllng Point and Prob
ably An Aviation Camp.
Washington, D. C. —The war depart
ment took the first step In rehablllta
tation of Camp Greene as an assemb
ling camp. This was in the ordering
of a detachment of from 10,000 to
12,000 men to the ordnance depot.
, Assistant Secretary Crowell stated
that arrangements for assembling
these men ire now under way.
 Secretary Baker stated that It is his
Intention to send Inspectors to Camp
Greene at once to look over the loca
tion for a signal corps depot. All In
dications point to utilization of tfea
camp to its full capacity.
It would be advisable for the city
and. township road building authori
ties to proceed with their work and
anticipate completion of the camp as
the government may be depended upon
to carry out Its part of the contract.
Secretary Baker expressed the opin
ion that Charlotte Is going to have a
better camp than before. It has never
been regarded as a training camp and
never wks so Intended. It will be re
membered that Secretary Baker made
that statement a couple of months ago
but Its establishment aa a permanent
military assembling camp may be ac
cepted as a settled fact and that as
such it will be likely developed stead
ily to full growth.
Divisions now there are to remain
there until ordered to France, and
that date seems Indefinite. '■*

A HINT TO THE AGED.
If people past. 60 years of age
could be persuaded to go to bed
as soon as they take cold and re
main in bed for one or two days,
they would recover much more
quickly, especially if they take
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
There would also be less danger
of the cold being followedf by any
of the more serious diseases.
