below follows the address of Mr.
Herman:
Fellow Citizens:
The presence of this (Treat audience
indicate* an important fact—the fact
that this is no ordinary occasion.
After doing all that could be done
consistent with self-respect and right- 1
ousness to avoid it, our nation has
been drawn into the most terrible war
in all history—a war in which our
bloody enemy has transgressed every
fundamental law of earth and Heaven.
This consciousless enemy has not only
destroyed, wantonly, untold billions
of wealth, but has killed the aged and
the defenseless, and butchered women
and children. The godless, atheistic,
heartless creed of our enemy ii, that
might makes right and that the weak
must satiate the lust of the strong.
This means that the liberty, free
dom, and happiness of the world are
at stake; and we are in this w»r, not
for hate, revenge, and greed, but to;
make secure the ideas and hopes for j
which heroes have died, and for which
this great nation was organized.
We are here tonight to do honor to
our brave young men who have offered
their life-blood, if need be, and to
make sure and secure the future peace
of the world. And in honoring these
young men, the people of Mount Airy
and Surry county are also honoring
themselves.
Young men of Company I, First
North Carolina Regiment, ana those
other* called and chosen under the
Selective Draft, 1 esteem it a pleas
ure to convey to you on behalf of
every patriotic citisen of Mount Airy
and Surry county our profound re
spect and w*rm regards. You have
nhown yourselves free from the "Yel
low Streak" which U the mark of the
coward and the "•lackers." We honor
you because we believe you will truly
represent our country in courage, pur
ity, and all the noble attributes of
genuine American manhood. At we
honor the heroes of 1776 who made
our liberty possible so will we honor
the heroes of 1917 who made our lib
arty secure.
The man who repudiates his rela
tion and obligations to his parents it
n moral degenerate, and deserve! ihe
burning acorn at all good men. The
1MB who repudiates the relatione and
obligation* which he owes to his wife
and children la a heartiett scrub and

Young man, wa honor you becau*e
you hava tramp!ad undar foot that

ing for and dying for. Surely it la

And flnatly young man, wa ara try
ing to honor you bacsuae you are not

haa baan daflnod a* a man who want*
aomathing for nothing and than noma

tle conacioua to fight for hi* country—
he wanta liberty and peace, but he
want* aome other man'* life to pay the
price of liberty, which haa alwayi
been human blood.
If a man haaen't enough conacienea
to fight for hi* country, then let him
have enough aelf-re*pect to get out
of it. Truly, the "*nollygoatar" 1*
the aelfiah acrub who wanta the
blanaing* of a free country, but he
wanta aome other man'* *on* to do
the fighting and pay the price. You
men we are glad you are not "anolly

Destroyed Submarine With
Bomb
Saved by s British cruiser after his
.- hip had been sunk by a German nub- j
marine, a Britiah merchant ship cap
tain' who arrived at an Atlantic port
tells of seeing the ll-boat destroyed
by a bomb placed by the cruised.
The submarine diaappered when the
cruiser hove in night to save the crew
of the torpedoed steamer. After the
cruiser picked up the Captain and the
crew she continued on her way. A
short time later the lookout sighted
the periscope of the undersea craft,
which was hanging in the wake of the
cruiser. The cruiser slowed down and
allowed the submarine to catch up.
Dusk was coming on and a specially
prepared bomb was let over the crui
ser's side. She then put on all steam
and ran straight ahead. The sub
mersible followed. By this time it
was growing dark. About 10 minute.-*
later there was an explosion, a black
hulk convulsively raised itself from
the water and flounced back, a shape
less mass. The cruiser came about
and went back to the scene. Two Ger
mans were swiming about in the water
They were taken on board the cruiser.:
The remainder of the German crew
perished with their'ship.

A Good Plan.
Judge 0. H. Allen, wlio wait holding
court in an eartern county, sentenced
several defendants to the road* a few
days ago, the said sentences to be dis
charged if the men would work during
the period of sentence for farmers in
the locality who were greatly in need
of farm labor.
Recently in the Municipal court at
Charlotte quite a number of men ar
rested for vagrancy were turned over
to Mecklenburg farmers who needed
additional labor. The emU of justice!
were met and the production of food
was facilitated. The plan is one that
might well !>• followed in every city
of the United States which has to deal
with the problem of idli men. Va
grancy should not be tolerated, cer
tainly when there ii such a scarcity
of farm labor as at present.
