The most important and serious re quest this paper ever made of Wil mington isBuy Liberty Bonds to the limit. In times, past, The. Dispfttcn has ureed the adoption or rejection of various measures at that time in the nublic eve. but it has. never- ap pealed-to the people more seriously and on a more serious subject than it does, now in its earnest plea for a . more hearty and prompt response to the call for purchasing Liberty Bpnds. .

But you doht have to make that sacrifice The government pays you interest and returns premiums on the insur ance. -But, why should one argue for this great proposition? It is one that the people, should rush to accept, and cry for more. Don't put it off anothsr day, but buy your bond, and buy just as much as your finances by the) greatest straining will permit. Go ihe limit. If you don't, there will be no limit to the consequences. A PROMISE. Now just listen at The Asheville Tlmee in the following irresistible appeal to the newspaper men of North Carolina: "The North Carolina Press Associa tion has decided to hold itsvnext ses sion in Asheville. The date has not been arranged. The North Carolina newspaper men will be thrice wel come to everything that is here and if it is not here, it will be sent for". We expected nothing less than a warm welcome; we also expected that the hospitality of the city would run in great floods, and it all looked' mighty tempting, but that final state ment "if it is not here, it will be sent for" is too much to be resisted. That promise covers a lot of territory, and were it made by other than The Times man we would possibly be in clined to think that he had let his enthusiasm run away with him, but somehow we are inclined to take it at its face value. We shall expect that "it will be sent for," and hope that it will get in without attracting the attention of over-zealous officers. But, you must remember your prom ise, Mr. Times man, as some of the brethren are not a bit bashful and you are likely to get a jolt. ONE MONTH OF BATTLE. For one month the German hordes have been rolling in dense waves against the Allied front In Prance and Belgium, with the more intense blows launched at the British troops, in an effort to break through the lines and roll up a crushing defeat for the defenders, but they have fail ed" to reach their goal. True, the of- fensive has met with a certain degree of success, but when the object of the drive is considered, the gains of ter rain have not been sufficient to 'off set the great loss in man-power to the Germans, and as the. situation is at the end of the month the battle is a defeat for the German arms. The Central Powers had planned for this the mightiest battle In the world's history, and these prepara tions had never before been approach ed. It WaS tha lASt Wnrrl n nWmmmi-mm - vaiix v tactics. Men. munitions, mitr-r science and genius had been mob ilized in heretofore undreamed of strength for the avowed puraosft of smashing the lines, first crushing the British, then wiping out the French. The master minds of the German gen eral staff could see nothing but suc- ;ess, and it is said that officers in the army freely offered wagers that the drive would go through in less than fortnight. The Allies knew what -to and had done all that was possible for them to prepare their defenses. It statutes.

Behind , all of this is the Allied mobile force report ed to be some 800,000 men ready to be flung into the fray when the time comes for the counter attack. The past month has been one of much gloom to the Allied cause, and there yet may be other anllous days, but ther are many indications that the worst is about over, and that fall ure of the German to accomplish the peace drive" will be history. The end of the month finds the situation the brightest of any day since the offensive was launched in all of iU fury. TUESDAY'S MEETING. Let every man who has the best in terests of Wilmington at heart at tend the meeting at the Court House Tuesday morning for the welfare of the whole city and not because of some selfish motive. This meeting is called Jbintly by the Chamber of Commerce and the Rotary Club! and s for the general purpose of nipping anything in the bud that might have a tendency to work to the injury of the coming prosperity of Wilmington and North Carolina. The spirit prompting the call for this meeting Is one that commends itself to those who are loyal to their city, and it will meet the hearty response the promoters expect it to. They have the right idea in wanting to kill off any injurious movement or spirit in its infancy, believng that an ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure. WITH THE EDITORS. 4 Rocky Mount Telegram: Some clt- xens express surprise that this city is not named in mention that is mada of the Virginia league this year, and there are some few of the older dyed- in the wool fans that are wondering what this city might do, though It isn't hard to answer them since there s generally no interest here. The great American game this year is making war and we are all, or should he in it up to our necks and we have no time for baseball. It does mighty well as a peace time diversion but with the scarcity of labor and the in creased demand upon the effort of all of us this is no time for "playing" baseball. Incidentally we might. add mat with all of the incentive of na val bases and army camra we hav our very serious doubts if the circuit may get to gomsr this year either. though if they may we can but wish them well. i - mew emmm Section of the Mom s in Merchandise is constantly nourincr into this store.

It has been a source of pride to see it grow from an idea, into a reality; from plans on paper, into what is probably the largest dis tributor of quality merchandise in Eastern Carolina. It has been a pleasure to serve the people of this de lightful community, so full of hospitality and of those countless other attributes characteristic of our beldved Southland. But now there is another call for service in a far different field. In a short time I will join the colors to do my little share in the t great cor-ict "Over there Mr. S. Lipinsky, the President of this concern, and the founder of the Asheville store will assume active charge of this establishment. You are assured of bet ter service and a better Bon Marche by the change of management. I wish to express publicly my appreciation of the assistance and help of my co-workers who have con tributed so much to the success of this undertaking. No store has ever worked more harmoniously; no organization has ever given better co-operation. In the near future Wilmington is coining into it's own. Two large shipyards assured, and with other enterprise on the way, this city looms large as an in dustrial center, and I wish for you, one and all, a well deserved era of prosperity and happiness.
