Sherman Knew War
If General Sherman was right in his
definition of war over 75 years ago, it
^ould be difficult to find words to tell
ibw terrible war is today.
With much space being taken to record
local happenings. The Journal-Patriot
during the pastvfew weeks has been una
ble to give its readers some of the descrip
tions of war as relayed to this country by
corespondents in war tom Europe and to
day we utilize this space to tell something
of modem warfare.
During the past 40 years civilization as
we know it has made great progress but
the war dogs of Ehirope have turned the
instruments of civilization into machines
■for its destruction or retardation.
- Progress in communication and trans
portation have figured largely in the
march of civilization and are now playing
a big part in the terrible march of de
struction.’
It took General Sherman several months
to invade and lay waste certain portions
of the south in the War Between the
States. Troops either traveled on foot, on
horseback.or- oo-hprse-drawn vehicles.
"Speed is playing its part in the second
World War now in progress in Europe.
The principal advantage so far on the side
of the Nazi armies has been speed and the
ability to strike quickly and mightily with
instruments of modem warfare.
Infantry no longer trudges alcng the
roads on foot. The soldiers are rushed by
plane, trucks, motorcycles and trains to
the scene of coribat in a few minutes.
Speed has made the war a horror for
civilians in the countries invaded by the
deadly armies. A city or town which to
day may be comparatively quite and serene
tomorrow may be a horrible wreck. Civi
lians, women and children, suddenly find
their community invaded when they do not
know that troops are wdthin striking dis
tance. Already thousands of civilians have
perished in the path o: invading armies be
cause they do not have time to evacuate
and get out of the way.
Improvements in planes, guns, tanks and
other implements of %var have made them
more horrible than they were in the first
■W’orld War.
Bombing planes now' can travel at the
rate of 200 to 350 miles per hour, dropp
ing the instruments of destruction and
getting out of danger of anti-aircraft fire
in ten seconds.
The technique of bombing by Nazi pi
lots has been described as follows: The
bombers dash from their bases back of the
front across their own lines and sight their
objectives while flying low and at great
speed to lessen danger of being hit. After
sighting their objectives the bombers soar
to a high altitude and then dive straight
down at frenlendous speed to within a
few hundred feet just over their objective,
level off, loose their bombs, and get out of
the w’ay at terrific speed. There is no
time to get anti-aircraft guns in position
and fire before the bombers have done
their worst and gone.
Next confe the tanks manned by a pilot
and gunner who are protected from oppos
ing fire. One tank can make life almost
impossible for 500 feet on each side. The
tanks can go over almost any kind of
ground and their speed has been stepped
up from a tractor crawl 22 years ago to
as much as 40 miles per hour.
When the tanks have dealt out destruc
tion the lesser units otf motorized troops
follow and the infantry mops up in the
R«d
yf*T
We didn’t have to do with the
mjnbing of a wuf in' Burfipe. Neithei did
millions of civilians who are feeling ^
horrors of conflict
But the facts remains that the war of
invasion by German of Belgium, Holland
and parts of France has rendered thous
ands homeless and suffering is acute
among civilians as well as soldiers,
America has always opened big her
heart to help suffering humanity on all
parts of the glob^ and the dire occasion
which has arisen in Europe will be no ex
ception.
As a nation blessed with, plenty of al
most everything, we woOld be ungrateful
if we did not help the innocent sufferers.
We would not be worthy custodians of .■
great country and its bountiful supplies.
The American Red Cross, which is al
ways ready in times of need, is asking foi
a fund of $10,000,000 to h^elp alleviate
war suffering. As usual, it is expected
that Wilkes county people will rally to the
call, not because they might need help
sometime in the future but because they
feel that they should help suffering hu
manity regardless of where they may be.
Physical Preparedness
Dr. Carl V. Reynolds, State Health Of
ficer, has issued an appeal to the people
of North Carolina to begin at once a pro
gram of physical prepardness. He said:
“A desperado and his gang are loose in
the world. They are running amuck, de
stroying civilization, leaving in their wake
.,death and destruction among innocent.
God-fearing nations and individuals.
“Our President has called for a program
of preparedness designed to give us pro
tection against this sinister farce, involving
a billion and a half dollars, which amount
will be increased as necessity demands.
This will give us mechanized units, air
planes, submarines and other material
with which to defend ourselves if this
should become necessary.
“These mechanized units, however, will
avail us nothing unless we enter into a def
inite program of physical prepardness.
Let us not repeat the mistakes of 1917,
when our manpower was 33 1-3 per cent
unfit for active military duty. It is of par
amount’importance that th^e individual be
comes physically fit before he offers him
self for the service of his country. It i^^
only through physical fitness that he will
have the mental alertness, the healthy eye
and the physical endurance to make the
quick decisions necessary for the success
ful prosecution of a war and then prose
cute these decisions. If we must fight to
preserve our heritage, let us man our m
chines of war with men whose eyes are
clear, whose hands are steady and whose
nerves are of iron.
“We can begin this program of physical
preparedness no earlier than now. To
morrow it may be too late. As State Health
Officer, I earnestly call upon our people
to take tdvantage of every means that
science, through a benign Providence, ha;
placed at our disposal to make us physi
cally fit. Let the work of immunization
against preventable diseases begin now.
Let our people take stock of themselves
and make the unwavering decision for
physical preparedness.
“North Carolina was first at Bethel.
Let is be first in physical preparedness.
We gave the world the airplane, war’s
most modern and effective weapon. Lei
us also pioneer in giving our nation the
best there is in manpower.
“God spare us from the desperado—de
liver us from war. But in war or peace,
‘God give us men!’

(MD WILES WRITES
To The Repdbllcans of Wilkes:
Many months ago I made up
my mind not to be a candidate
for the nomination of Register of
Deeds of Wllkee county. In reach
ing this conclusion I gave care
ful consideration to the Interests
of the Reputotlcan i»rty of Wilkes
county, and I concluded that It
was best for me not to run a-
galn. I also took Into considera
tion my own Interests and I felt
that I had a®ent as much time In
the courthouse as I should spend
In serving In my present capacity.
have felt for many years that
it Is best for the success of onr
party In the county to rotate can
didates for public office. I did pot
at any time want the people of
Wllkea county to think I was the
only man In the county that could
serve the people as Register of
Deeds.
Many of my friends Inslated on
my running again and the encour
agement I received lead me to be
lieve that I could have been re
nominated without serious oppo
sition. Since I have been holding
a public office In Wilkes county I
have served the people of Wllkee
county in every way I could. I
have tried to he accomodating
to all people regardless of poli
tics and I have tried In every
way possible to he worthy of the
trust that the people put In me,
when I assumed the responsibil
ity of every oilice I have held. I
want to thank the people of
Wilkes county for the loyal sup
port they have given me In up
holding my' hands in the dis
charge of my official duties. I
am glad I can leave my present
position with a feeling that I
have discharged my duties effici
ently, and it I have any enemies
because of my official acts I do
not know It. It shall he my pur
pose In the future, as In the past,
to stand for policies that I think
will insure to the best Interests
for the people of Wilkes county.
I have been a Republican all of
my life and have served my party
as a private citizen and public of
ficial. I am now fully convinced
that the best interests of the
people of Wilkes county will be
served In a more efficient way
when controlled by the Republi
cans of the county. Therefore, as
a private citizen it will be my
purpose to show my appreciation
for the many favors extended me
by the leaders of ray party by
supporting each and every can
didate nominated In our primary.
I will exert every effort possible
for the success of the ticket in
the coming election.
I want to thank one and all for
the support you have given me
and the honors you have con
ferred on me. May it never be
said of me that I have “sulked in
the lent’’ or that my acts have
shown that I am an ingrate.

To stand straight and tall

At warlords’ whims—
