Not son, the loafer is not usually -a aod bread winner. School teachers can't get along on ast the pay in patriotism. The Germans are trying to mess things around Messines.

Giving up Alexander will be a cost contribution to Uncle Sam's fight- lag force, according to cnanes Weegham's point of view. 'Strategy of the German high com mand has not yet been revealed," ays a news dispatch. Maybe not?, ut a whole lot of its cussedness has teen. Just because you do not wear the tniform of one of Uncle Sam's flght- fers do not get tne mistaken idea hat you can't help the country win me war. Those Illinois mobs might divert jheir attention from pro-Germans to te inmates of tne borne of a certain fniversity of Chicago professor and tereby do a good turn for morality.

The turn the name has 3jn ilace, tha (outbreak of the war the1' 2avsh: on battt Oertsa THE PEOPLE SHOULfi AWAKE 4 Judging from reports coming hack from the Democratic . State conven tion, one of the most timely speeches delivered before that body was by ex- Governor W. W. Kitchin, in which he pleaded with the delegates to the convention and through them with the people ot the whole State, to arouse themselves to the seriousness of' the war situation. He rightly viewed the conditions In this country as danger ous to the success of the war, . he cause the people will not realize that the struggle, is a grave one, and that only by the greatest of sacrifices can victory come to the side' of the hosts of democracy. The task before the United States, be declared, is an Im mense one, and if the people do" not wake up they are in for serious con sequences. ' Commenting on the great speech of Kitchin, the News and Observer says: "One of the frankest, strongest speeches before the Democratic State convention Wednesday was that of former Governor W. W. Kitchin. He spoke the plain truth when he said that the people of the United States had not waked up to the size of the job they had to do before the var against Germany could be won. "There has been a popular theory that the German people are not tack ing the Kaiser to the limit. Don't be lieve it for a minute, the former Gov ernor warned his hearers and through them the rest of the people. He as serted that the German people are giving the Kaiser absolute and com petent support and that the war would never be won for the Allied cause un til the people of the. United States threw every ounce of their strength into the balance. "The"j?eople are not alive to the size of the task that lies before them. They had just as well undeceive them selves and face the situation in all its seriousness .and gravity.' It is a war of peoples as well as a war of soldiery. The peoples who can stand the punishment of sacrifice of comfort at home and of men on the firing line the longest will be the victors. The former Governor drove home that truth with unanswerable logic. His advice should be followed. Every per- son must buy Liberty Bonds to the limit of his resources consistent with due regard to the calls for the Red Cross that will come next month." There is not abler speaker in the whole State than W. W. Kitchin. He not only hat an attractive manner of presenting a subject, but his clear- thinking and reasoning enable him to put others to thinking. He did not one bit overdraw tbe situation, and the sooner the people look upon the facts with understanding the sooner will the desired end for which we en tered the war be achieved. A LESSON FOR GERMANY. Ability to concentrate is the key to whatever success the German arms have obtained. There has been no di vision with its consequent weaknesses anywhere from the Kaiser down to the smallest military unit at the bat tle front. In their air atacks, they de liver intense blows; in . their sub marine warfare, there is whirlwind action methodically carried out; in their artillery actions, there is a del uge or iron hail on selected points; in their infantry operations massed attacks ?Me; in fact, every move that is made is the result or complete co ordination of all essential parts, mak ing it as nearly irresistible as is pos sible for human agencies. Similar concentration of their vast resources in men and materials by the Allies would bring matters to a speedy ter mination. This was is just another great, example of "united we stand di vided we falL" When all of the oppo nents of the Central Fowers put into practice the motto E Pluribus Unum, then and only then will the Hun hordes' be effectually ; stopped. That is the doctrine that President Wilson has been preaching ever since Amer ica entered the war. He not only advo cated Jt at home, but among the Allies of America,, and It must be confessed that he has met with a readier re spopnse from the peoples abroad than from those at home. It was this policy that placed General Foch at the, head of the Allied armies; it was this that brought about the Inter-Allied War Council; it w& this that result ed in the magnificent co-operation of the Allied naval forces; it was this that caused General Pershing to offer all of the rsources of the American army to General Foch; it was thi3 that started the diplomatic offensive against Germany which has been so actively conducted by the President, Lloyd-George and ClemenceaU. But in this country! when he seeks pov ft" co-ordinating the several branches of the government's war making ma chinery, he meets opposition fromcer tain "members of Congress wise guys who asr professional "agin-lts." The President has wiscom enough to see the success of Germany's method, and seeks t9 fUtht , it-with It own weapoE.su, ut Congress standi lit tbe LEAVES DISPATCH FAMILY. V It is with much regret that Tlie Dispatch announces this morning the resignations of Mr. and Mrs. Forrest R. Long, circulation manager .and so ciety editor, respectively, who have beeji connected with this paper for the past several months, first as man agers of the contests we put on in the spring and fall of last year and later in their preent positions. Mr. Long is one of the most ca pable circulation men in .the South and has held responsible positions In the circulation departments of some of the country's best newspapers. His work' here has been of a very high order, ,He is one of the directors of the ''Virginia-Carolina " Circulation Managers' Association, and took a leading part in the organization meet ing which was held some months agv at Charlotte. Mrs. Long has made of the society columns of The Dispatch a distinct feature of this newspaper, and many warm words of praise have been giv en her work. Without any previous experience in this' particular branch of newspaper work, she took charge of 'the society columns last fall and has made it so attractive with live social items, charmingly written, that next to the war news this department receives the first attention of our readers. She not only has a "nose for news," but knows how to .write it in charming and attractive style. The best wishes of many friends in Wilmington go with Mr. and Mrs. Long in their new work. THE ;- LOAFER. In a communication in this morn ing's Dispatch, Mr. D. L. Gore, in commenting upon some recent utter ances of The Dispatch relative to the suggestion that everybody go to work, expresses the opinion- that much of the laziness among the people is due to faulty training during their child hood. He presents the observation that if nine-tenths of the men who are now loafing had been taught to work while they were boys they would now be working regularly. Mr. Gore's position strikes us as being a sound one. An investigation into the lives of the loafers in this or any other city will doubtless jjhow mat practically every one or tnem failed to get the proper parental training in industry. The boy who is given something to do usually de velops into an important cog in the business life of the world. We do not mean by this that the child should be made a slave. Far from it. But give him something that will keep him interested, and above all things keep him the streets, and when he reaches manhood he will have ac quired a habit for industry that will make him a useful citizen. Parents can not be too careful in training their boys. The life of ease in boy hood often leads to idleness and all of its attending evils; in manhood, Along with the movement to make everybody go to work, let the fathers so guide the footsteps of their sons that when these sons reach manhood they will not join the loafing brigade. New Jersey has found an effective way for handling loafers, according to the following from The University News Letter, whieh North Carolina would do well to follow: "New Jersey has an . anti-Ioafing law with teeth in it, says the Literary Digest. It requires every able-bodi3d male citizen between th ages of 18 and 50 to be ihabitually and regularly engaged in some lawful, useful, rec ognized business, occupation, trade or employment. ' "The mayors of the State have had the police compile lists of the hab itual idlers. The hoboes and the swell-club loafers are rounded up to gether and treated to hundred dollar fines, or three months in jail or both If necessary. "If a, man will not work, neither Uhall he eat, Is the way the Book has it. We sadly need man-power on our farms and In our factories, and the loafer, rich or poor, is an un epeakable disgrace to himself and an intolerable insult to society. "The first day this law went into effect a thousand men applied for jobs in the Public Employment Bu reau in Newark alone." he said be i would not do those two tntnjgs ior s&.oOf per aay for more, but did not mind-doing what he was taught. , . ,..

The consumption 'of ? flour is at the minimum. Of course, there may be a few. selfish critters who are hogging the game, but asv a rule the people are , perfectly . willing to cut down the use of flour or to quit its use it needs beat least, so we judge the situation. And our judgment would seem to be upheld byN the7 ex perience of grocery drummers. For instance, Mr. J. oF. Lewis bad sev enty barrels allotted to him for his trade last week, but it took only th'r- ty-five.. t Charlotte Observer: Washington supposition in connection with the subsidence of submarine activities is that these weapons are being, mobil- lzea ror tne purpose oi an attempt to Intercept United States . transport ships, which have been going over lately in troops. So far, the subma rine has been entirely unable to stop the transports and .this has been " be cause of the United States Navy, to a large extent, and to the excellent service of the bombing seaplanes. The accumulating number of United States soWiers on the battlefronts in France has undoubtedly caused a fetlr in Germany and somebody charged with the operations of the submarine has been called to account. Not a single one of the regular troop trans ports has been sunk and we may well know that the mere contempla tion of that fact is enough to make Emperor Bill mad. Whlteville News-Reporijer: Colum bus county people are vastly Interest ed In and rejoicing over the fact that Wilmington has been selected as one of the places for the building of concrete- s'hips for the government. Sev en concrete ships costing something like a million dollars will be con structed there just as soon as a site for the operations can be selected. Mr. R. M. Jackson, secretary ot the Cape Fear Fair Association, was In Raleigh Tuesday and heard Secre tary McAdoo's address on Liberty Bonds.

Fayetteville Observer. , i PROPER TRAINING NEEDED. The Wilmington Dispatch Company, City. Gentlemen: I notice you say we should make everybody work. I agree with you, tjut if these lazy people who are do ing almost no work now had been raised by good moral parents who would have injected morals in them and raised them to work, nine-tenths of vthem would be working regular now. Please help me write, advising parents to raise their children' to work and inject morals in them at the same time. There are blenty of jobs now, so everybody that wants to work can get a jdb. That is the way it looks to me. .

Advance reports reaching this city are to the effect that these club mem bers are planning to put forth even greater efforts during the coming season than they have ever done in the past and there is every reason to believe that they wlll accomplish all that they set out toTlo. fanning clubs are of value at all times but more so now than ever be fore for every can of vegetables that is put up is as good as a bullet against the Hun. The canning club members are be ing depended upon to do their share this summer and we have every rea son to believe that they will not be found wanting in this matter. t STATE NEWS Lightning struck a chimney at the home of Mr. J.
