Bombardments Cannot
Drive This Woman Back
She Thinks Coffee for Soldiers
More Important Than Safety. ,
The following extracts are taken
from a letter written by a Red Cross
Canteen worker, Helen McElhone, an
American woman and college graduate
now located in a district almost con
stantly under bombardment :
"Foyer des Allies,
'Bar-le-Duc.
Things look very black to me. I
am discouraged at the big outlook of
affairs and also at my small doings,
but it may.be the blackness that comes
kef ore dawn. -Let us hope so. Our
men certainly need help now as much
as theV'PoUus. . "I .am beginning to

some of th results of .this life. They

GERMANY'S QUILT ESTABLISHED.
(Extracts from Prince Karl LIchnowsky's "My . London Mission,
1912-1914," a copy of which has just reached this country. Prince
Lichnowsky, who was German Ambassador to England when the war
broke out, says that he wrote the document for his family archives,
but it was made public In Germany and created a great stir, the
Kaiser's government hastening to repudiate and suppress it)
"On Aug. 2 (1914), when I saw Ajsquith In order to make a final
attempt, he was completely broken, and, although quite calm, . tears
, ran down his face."
"Of course it would only have needed a hint from Berlin to make
Count Berchtold (Austrian Foreign Minister in August, 1914) satisfy
himself with a diplomatic success and put up with the Serbian reply."
"The impression became ever stronger that we (Germany) desired
war In all circumstances."
"Thus ended ray London mission. It was wrecked not .by the
perfidy of the British,' but by the perfidy of our policy."
"I had to support in London a policy which I knew to be fallacious.
I -was punished for it, for it was a sin against the Holy Ghost."
EVERYONE MUST HELP.
Wars cannot be fought without money, and upon the Treasury centers
every financial demand upon the Nation.
The rich of this country cannot alone meet the needs of the Nation;
the men of the country cannot do it alone; the women of the country
cannot do it alone; but all of us, the people of the United States, disre
garding partizanship, forgetting selfish interests, thinking only of the
tiipremacy of right and determining to vindicate the majesty of American
ideals and secure the safety of America and civilization, can do the great
and splendid work which God has called upon us to do.
W. G. McADOO,
Secretary of the Treasury.

eat muchlmore than the French sol

of a parade of the workers and
those interested from ttte old
court house up Main street to

paign committee. presided?Rev
W A Lambeth offered prayer
and Rev W W Way presented
the speaker, J T Maugutfi of

appeal lor the generous support
of the Red Cross, indicating its
benefits, blessings and needi to
the men serving our couhtryand
the comfort to those who jive
and have them return as -sear
perfect as possible.

One Sheep Raiser Sells Out.
8 S Carter of Franklin town
ship, has just shipped 71 head
of sheep to Virginia, he having
decided to discontinue
sheep
raising after giving it fifteen
years trial. There are several
causes for Mr iCarter's action to !
wit: The price of food " makes
it unprofitable, he is getting
up in years and can't give them
the attention necessary, and
owing to the lack of proper
laws to regulate the prowling
dogs. Of course this does not
means that no one else in Row
an has sheep or that the indus
try is thus put out of business.
Mr Carter has the mistaken idea
that a tax tag on a dog's collar
will keep it from killing sheep.
The thing needed to be effect
ive is legislation forcing people
to keep their dogs at home and
pay for whatever damage they
may do to ;other people's prop
erty just like the stock law:

-THE AMERICAN'S CREE5.
AIK-tim Patriotism is Needed Wore Than
War-time Patriotism.
The .city of Baltimore paid Wil-Ham-Tyler
Page of Friendship
Heights, Md., 1,000 for "The
American's Creed," in a contest
in which many thousand creeds
were submitted Henry S Chap-in-nearly
two years ago sug
gested the contest, and when it
was taken up by the city it be
came the "National Citizens'
Creed Contest." President Wil
squ, Speaker Clark and other
'prominent Americans have en
dorsed the award of Mr Page,
who is a descendant of President
Tyler and of Carter Braxton,
who signed the Declaration of In
dependence.
"I believe in the United States
of America as a government of
the people, by the people, for the?
people whose just powers are
derived. from the consent of the
governed ;,a sovereign nation of
many soveriegn states: a perfect
Union, one and inseparable: es
tablished upon those principles
of freedom, equality, justice and
humanity for which - American
patriots sacrificed their Jives and
fortunes
f'l therefore believe it is the
tduty to my country to love it, to
support its constitution, to obey
its laws, respect its flag and to
defend it against all enemies "
The above is a most excellent
statement of the true American's
position, and while h mavt, jti
elude everything, it seems to us
it should include something else.
For instance, we need patriotism
in times of peace as much so as
in times of ar, and, it should
be just as worthy to speak right
and vote right as it is to shoot
fight. "Eternal vigilance is the
price of liberty" and we should
"put nbne but Americans on
guard" at any time. War time
patriotism is good, but not so
godd as the all time patriotism
for by practicing the latter, the
former is practically eliminated.
That brand of patriotism that
changes like spring styles, is
much less enduring and not
quite so valuable, It is the
slipt on and off variety chiefly
used by professional politicians
! and other of our enemies.

Investigation of Limestones and Maris io
North Carolina.
'The North Carolina Geologi

embodied in a report which will
ileal largely with the economic
value of these deposits .This is
of especial interest at the present
time to the farmers and the Port

one owning a considerable body
of -limestone or marl should com
municate at once with the North
Carolina Geological and Econo-

Proper Food For Weak Stomachs.
The proper food for one man
may be all wrong for another.
Every one should adopt a diet
suited to his age and occupation:
Those who have weak stomachs
need to be especially careful and
should eat slowly and masticate
their food thoroughly. It is al-
so important tnat tney Keep
their bowels regular. When
they become constipated or when
they feel dull and stupid after
eating, they should take Cham
berlains Tablets to strengthen
the stomach and move their
bowels. Tney are easy to take
and pleasant in effect.

DON'T TAKE A CHANCE.
Salisbury People Should Act in Time.
If you suffer from back ache;
It you have headaches, dizzy
spells;
If there are bladder ills,
Don't delay likely your kid
neys are sick.
Salisbury people recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills.
Here is a Salisbury woman's
experience:
Mrs H ,Frost, 603 N. Main St.
says: I had back ache and other
kidney disorders. At times my
limbs were so weak and lame I
could hardly get around. Morn
ings, the trouble was worse. My
kidneys acted irregularly and
caused me a lot of annoyance. I
had heard of so many who had
found Doan's Kidney Pills good
that I began taking them. They
lived up to the claims made for
them, relieving the misery in my
back and regulating my kid
neys. Price 60c at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney " Pills, the
same that Mrs Frost had. Fos
