Did you learn within Masonry •
halls. to be careful, to watch over
yourself and. those bound to us by
virtue's Um; to practice virtoe, and
to »hun vice, and ever to keep • »en
tlnel at your lip*? Hu not Masonry
taught you to yield a tribute of
gratefulness, and respect to the mem
ory of departed brother: ? Ha* it
not taught you to remain silent, and
to keep our secrets well ruarded, "nd
tiled, and to impart the principle* of
justice, and humanity, to your breth
ren, to be cautious, in your words, and
„ „peech. where it concerns a brother's
name, and not to pry too curiously in
to the secrets of another ? Haven t you
been taught to pay the tribute of jus
tice to ri t your brethren, and to let
thev oicc of the peacemaker pervade
all your meeting*. And dissensions?
Does it not teach you that whatever
is to be done for the cause of right
to do it, without fear or favor, and
with all your determination, remem
bering that we are under the watch
ful, and "All-seeing Eye?" Are we
-not taught to restrain our zeal, even
in a good cause, lest we become too
zealous, and cast discretion to the
winds, and work discredit upon the
Master who presides above? Do we
not know by its teachings that jus
tice will sooner or later overtake the
assassin of some good brother's char
acter. and brii.g him to repentance,
and the guilty punished, God himself
vindicating H.s own laws. That as
punishment awaits the one who is
guilty of violating God's as well as
the Masonic law, that honor and re
ward will assuredly come to those
who are sincere and faithful in their
promises? That labor is honorable,
and that the one devoting, his talents
to thia cause is always rewarded, in
his honest efforts? As a matter of
record does not danger end defeat act
as mediums in stimulating us to
greater deeds, and higher accomplish
ments and at the >«me time prepare
us to meet-future difficulties with pa
tience and fortitude? Are we not
taught that death cannot separate?
That our soul passes to Him who
gave it, and at the final day we will
have to give an account for the deeds
done here on this earth, whether
good or bad? And are we not taujrht
in the hour of danger or peril to ask
God's help in all, and are we not as
sured of his protection, when we ap
peal earnestly, and sincerely? Are
we not taught to remember those in
* misfortune, and the desolations that
have come over us during these peril
oar times, and of those bound to us
by bonds of love and sympathy, that
time can never efface from memory?
To be chivalrous and generous and
true? What greater lessons in life
can be taught than those of faith,
hope and charity? Is it not our duty
that will be in keeping with God's
laws, so that when the lime comes
we may be prepared to cross the di
viding line, with the hope of reach
tog the Celestial lodge above and find
peace and happiness in the presence
of the Grand Master of the Universe?
Does K not teach as to be faithful
L
to each other T To aooh the true
from the darkest recaaasa at tgnor
inn to Ui« aymboiical linowMp at
life? Doee it not teach to avoid all
<1 in put* i and quarreta, ami diasenninna,
| to alwigri nook light, and to wield
the responsible power of instructors
l of Masonic truth, inspired. by an up
right and enlightened reason, rational
judgment, •flection, philanthropy ?
Arrogance, envy, malice, jealousy,
and conceit are to be avoided, whiles
wisdom, discretion, conaideration and
impartiality, are aome of the pillara
that aupport the trmple where the
teachings of the graeest fraternal or
der in the world are taught.
We are taught to perpetuate the
memory of those great architects who
felled the timbers at I^baRtm and
prepared than for the Temple of
Solomon.
It also teaches us to bear each
other's burden, ahare one another's
sorrows, and to carry out this same
Masonic apirit in every Masonic duty.
Besides many other duties of equal
importance.
Lumberton Youth Hates
To Take Trip Orencu.
Lumberton, Juna 29.—E. W. Britt,
who left tho army without leave sev
eral days ago, was carried hark to
Camp Jackson Thursday by hi* fa

bought him a ticket and put him on
the train to return to hia post twice
and each time he would return home.
It is said his actions #cre caused from

army March 2.1. He said that he was
willing to wash dishes during the

Army Beyond 3,000,000
Emphasized by Senate.
Washington, June 29.—In passing!
the $12,000,(KMJ,0(H)armyappropriation
hill to<lay the senate emphasized sen
timent for enlarging the army beyond
the 3,000,000 men provided in the
measure, hut declined while awniti»«j
the war department to direct the
, I'resident to raise an army of 5,000,
000.
After a week's debate and without
a roll call of dissenting voice the huge
supply measure—a world's record
! breaker—was sent to conference be
i twoen the two houses with a view to
i its enactment next Monday when the
appropriations are needed.
None of the appropriations for the
army's part in the war for the fiscal
year beginning July 1, was reduced by
the senate. Instead it increased many
1 items, approved without change the
' house clause clothing the President
with unlimited authority to increase
1 the army by further draft calls and
added scores of importnat legislative
riders.
A futile effort was made today by
( -enators desirious of specifically or

SURGEONS or ENTENTE
ARMIES VERY SKILLFU1.
Wmtmn i mi,4 WUm to TWr
Rt|iimnb in a Mmiinum of
Freneh Front, J una 21.- llarvela
ere being performed by mr^euni ,»t
tacfaed to the wirna entente armiea.
By nxerriaing their ekill th -y have
rent., red to the ftghHag etiength of
the allied nat on» each year «lnee the
ber'nning if the war, whole diviaifina
of men who ta ether ware would have
died of their wounda or would have
been rrippled fjt life.
The rerjrt gigantic battlea, aa 'Jie
reault of which m -re wounded men
than ever hufare have rareived i*tr
(Irti treatment within • nhort • <pa e
of time, have demonstrated the im
menM »tride> ma.la not ci.ljr in «ir
g*ry but in the methwla of removing
the wounde'l from the battle flelda and
tai -porting them to hoopitaln. So
effective ia the eo-operation between
•urgeona and phyaiciana at the front
and thooe at the hoepitala in the
rear that an hnmenaely larger propor
tion of the wounded recover than waa
the caae at the beginning of the war.
Men whoee arma ur lege have been
fractured by ahella now are reetored
to their regimenta in a minimum of
time. Thia ia doe moatly to the fact
that they receive prompt antlaeptie
treatment and aurgical attention
which prevent* blood-poiaoning and
the itiffening of articulation. Thair
recovery ia rapid in the hoepitala be
hind the linea where they can be
treated under comfortable conditiona
far from the nerve-wracking sound
of the guna.
Soldiers have been inspired with
confidence in the »rmjr surgeon* in
the great battles around Verdun and
in the treat German offensive which
ber*n in March.
Promptness in the treatment of
wounded men has been obtained by
segregating ihem in classes according
to the nature of their wounds. This
was not generally done at the begin
ning of the war. The plan then in
vogue waa to erect large hoapitai* aa
near the fighting linea as possible,
say ten or twelve miles from the front
and to send all cases there for treat
ment. When big battles occurreJ
these hospitols were over crowded and
owing to the delay in operating there
were many cases of gangrene, tetanus
and other infections that resulted
fatally.
The enemy did not hesitate to bom
bard the hospitals either with the ar
tillery or from airplanes. Sometimes
a train-load of wounded men would
arrive only to And all the beds oc
cupied and that they must move on to
another hospital.
Most of this difficulty now has been
overcome. When wounded men reach
the first dressing station or field am
bulance they are divided into categor
ies. Those slightly wounded are ra
pidly dressed and sent to convalescent
hospitals. Those crippled are sent to
cripple depots. Men who have gassed
go to special hospitals nearby to re
main until they recover or die.
Those suffering from severe but not
dangerous wounds roccive prompt
treatment in the advanced nmbulanccs
where operations are performed and
wounds disinfected before the men
are sent to permanent hospitals.
By these divisions of the woanded
into classes, it is asserted, that great
s/apidity of surgical intervention is
achieved as each specialist deals on
ly with cases needing his kind of skill.
Then the patient is removed to the
hospital at a distance of not more
than a journey of ten or twelve hours
where he receives attention from an
a
other specialist working in close co
operation with his colleague in the
advanced ambulance.
But Ten Counties Have
Completed Their Quotas.
Winston-Salem June 29—Ten North
Carolina counties have raised their
quotas in the war saving* drive, and
