The boy scout of today is va train ing for the typical man of America of ! tomorrow. The way to welcome Wilmington's thousands of new citizens is to have houses for them to live in when they get here. , Wonder how many of the people rlwho see that escaped "balloon will ,get scared and think the Germans re after them? ; The dishrag may not be as dainty as the powder rag but it i much more to the point when it comes to domestic matters. S Now let's see if those fellows out ;west are going to use the new sedi-J-tion law or continue to use tar and .feathers to punish utterers of sedi :tious language. - With the former dowager empress Df Russia, and spveral nf hr anito in jitne capital or UKrainia and the tool I ft of Germany imposed on the people as 'trada it looks rather hopeless for a republic in that country. It is said Count "Luxburg's deten tion in Argentina for so long a time was due to his mental condition. He is declared to be crazy yet. Per haps that accounts for his wanting to go to Berlinat this time. Apropos of yesterday's press dis patches quoting German prisoners as saying that Von Hindenburg was dead, the current issue of Southern Telephone News contains the "Diary of a Bell Boy" who is at the front. He writes in his diary on April 19, 1916: "There is a rumor that Hin a denburg has cut his throat, and peace will come in ninety days." There is conflict in the reports -t from the front as to tlw use to be made of the American troens. Our soldiers won't want to be held bark for the assembling of a large body of troop3 from this side; but if such be the program they will be mighty proud of their being assigned first place in a grand offensive. When they Ere put to the task of capturing the nemy trenches the Germans will learn what American soldiers 'can do when they get the chance, a The correspondents at the front of newspapers state that it is remarka ble how our. soldiers keep up with current events at home and' how puch interest they take in every thing that is going on "back home." They were especially enthused ove.r the outcome of the liberty bond sub scription not that the amount was raised, for they knew that would be done, but over the enthusiastic man ner in which it was done and the large number of people by whom the subscription was made. They felt that proved the country was behind them, and had confidence in them. The house of representatives yes terday took up the Overman depart ments reorganization bill. Demo cratic leaders predict that the house fwill pass the bill virtually as it same Srom the senate. It is hoped so, and also that it will not be as long about it as was the senate. Under the conference agreement on the registration amendment to the selective draft bill medical and thoo- logical students who have entered : school before the bill is signed ' will i be exempt. Those who enter after f ward will have to register. We t reckon this was about the best set : tlament of the controversy. HALT IN GERMAN DRIVE. There have been rumors for somo time of a mutinous disposition among the soldiers of the German army. There can be no doubt that there have been instances of mutiny in the army and navy. Now comes reports of dissensions among the officers of the army among officers in high rank. It may be that these conditions have something to do with the sud den hold up in the great offensive ttie Germans advertised so long and which they began with such vigor. Their heavy fighting stopped as sud denly as it begen. When the allies' orders were to stand and hold their ground at all hazard the German de sire to advance died out. The report came from that side that the halt was made in order to give time to move up the heavy guns over the shell-torn battle fields. Germany has taken such a ' long time to' bring up her heavy guns that it looks like there were other hin drances besides Belgium mud and shell holes that were causing the de lay. It may be that differences among high army officers stand inthe way. There can be little doubt that there is great disappointment in Berlin at the lack of success of the big drive iaaugurated April 21; that some high army officers are muttering about the campaign not measuring up to expectations. There is a faction headed by Gen eral Von Moltke which has become critics of General Hindenburg. While no one puts any belief in the rumor of the death of the latter, there is evidently such a report in Germany. The question is, what was expected to be accomplished by putting such rumor afloat? OUR SOLDIERS AROUSED. Before the war is over Germany will find that one of the greatest mistakes she has made has been to allow atrocities by her soldiers in the fighting and against prisoners, especially against Americans. We do not mean that our soldiers will be guilty of retaliation in kindr They could never bring themselves to be guilty of the cruelties and barbari ties practiced by 'German soldiers. of the enemy will however find the Americans with such a spirit of re venge that they will suffer no Germans to escape them whenever they join in conflict. The American toldiers are already imbued with the idea that the quickest way to end the war is to kill as many German sol iers as possible. Our men will never kill prisoners or treat them with the cruelty Germans treat theirs, but if German atrocities on the battlefield continue there will be fewer German prisoners captured and the enemy list of dead will greatly increase. Only recently American soldieis have been fired with greater hatred of the Germans by the discovery of the bodies of two of our men who had had their heads mashed in and then had been bayoneted when dead. American officers at the front are aware that there has arisen among the American soldiers a spirit of re venge because of such atrocities and they have more than once taken the trouble to investigate reports of cruel- ey by the Germans, not for the pur pose of defending the latter against ituch charSes Dut bv Proving the re rrts t0 be false to arrest the &row- ijg spirit of revenge among our own men. The Americans went to France ready to fight the Germans according to the rules of civilized warfare, and theyfc!tVkone so and will continue to do so, but it is beyond human na ture to endure the sight of such atrocities toward their fellow sol diers without the spirit of revenge. If the Germans want a war to the knife and the knife to the hilt the American boys are ready to give it to them. After settling the question of time limit for the preachers some mem bers of the Methodist general con ference want to open up the whole matter and settle it all over again. Reckon those most interested the preachers and their families wish the conference would let the matter stand as it is. Our state university has furnished nearly a thousand men to the army from among its faculty, students and alumni. Of university men who are officers The University News Teller gives these data: Among our men in war service are 2 brigadier gen erals, 4 colonels, 7 lieutenant mU onels, 12 majors. 61 cantAins and ' 119 first lieutenant in thA u i secretary of the navy, 4 lieutenant commanders and 5 lieutenants in the navy, and 1 colonel, 1 lieutenant col onel, 9 majors, 9 captains and 93 first lieutenants in the medical corps. General Maurice should now make an apology to General Foch for his "Blucher or night" speech. - -- - a. THE WTCMnGTDN DISPATCH. TUESDAY, UNFORTUNATE CLASS. In a recent official statement the secretary . of the Interior -i declare! that there were seven hundred thousand, men of draft age in the United States who cannot read or write. Necessarily many of these have been drafted and sent to the front. Such of them as are in the army cannot write to the people at home; cannot read the posted orders cr the books of instruction for sol diers. The thought of these facts I rings feelings of pity for such of the soldiers who' are suffering under the disability of illiteracy. The lack of ability to read and write never fell heavier upon a man than it does on those so afflicted who are far away from home and facing the danger of theV battlefield. To them and to their families at home who are so anxious ly waiting day after day for news of them this is a distressing privation. The thought of thess men so sit uated should be an incentiv-3 to those who have educational matters in charge and to the whole people to make more determined efforts to bring about universal education; to hasten the day when there shall not te a child over school age in America who cannot read and write. The men of this country who can not read and write form one of the most unfortunate classes of our pou ulation and they deserve not only the pity of the more fortunate but their assistance to better their condition through enlarged facilities for secur ing a rudimentary education. DRAFT IN IRELAND. We cannot understand why there should be such violent opposition among the people of Ireland to the extension of the conscription laws of the United Kingdom to their country. Admitting that the Irish have not in the past received fair treatment at the hands of the British, that is no reason why they should become aid ers and abettors of the military, party in Germany in their endeavor to sub let Ireland as weil as Great Britain ( German domination. There can be no question as to what would be the consequences to Ireland if the Ger mans were victors. The Germans would make no exception in favor of fiat country among-ihe ones -overrun ty their armies. The war "is for the preservation of Ireland as much as for that of England, France, Belgium I id the United States. Irish members sit In the British parliament and vote on questions re lating to taxing the people for the war expenses; they have not asked that differences be made in the vote of taxation of residents of Great Brit ain and of Ireland. When it comes to the question of drafting men to go into the armieB the Irish members are willing that such law shall be passed applicable to England, Scot land and Wales but say the line must be drawn at the saores of the Iris sea; that they are not willing to do their part in preventing Prussianism being forced upon all western Eu lope and America, simply because they, in their opinion, do not have fair play at the hands of the British parliament. VICTORY NEXT YEAR. W. Beach Thomas, noted war cor respondent, who has been at the front for three years, foretells the de feat of Germany next year, with the United States the chief instrument of ictory over the allies' enemies. He gives his views in an article in Cur rent Opinion for May. He declares that Germany lost the war when ejr submarine sank the Lusitania. Of the progress of the war till the allies' final victory he says: "Oscillations there' will be, victo ries and defeats there will be at this and that spot in the line; and one day there will be a symptomatic de feat and victory from which any ob server, whether he is seer or no, will be able to deduce with some certain ty the progressive decline of one side or the other. It is inconceivable to the mind of any leaders among the allies that this progressive decline this spot on the fair fruit of the al liance can appear among them while America, with her 100 million people and resources that defy arithmetic, is heart and soul in the cause. We may have defeats but not progressive " feats. Those are reserved for the central powers. When the first of this sort comes, peace will be in tight. Germany will not wait neither her population nor her army authori ties will permit it till she. tumble"? back in successive failures upon her cwn frontiers, and the targets for the f owing hordes of airmen come near er and nearer, and the boom of the J.berty engine at last plays foreign music over German cities." The Fort Wayne News has adopted a motto which should make every man happy and prosperous. It is: "Swat the fly, shoot the spy, cut out the lie, swear off on pie, quit drinking rye, and never say die." With The Editors Charlotte News: We have .no fault to find with Sherman's definition of war. At times we figure It also aptly describes this business of trying to make both ends meet. New Bern Sun-Journal: The New Bern school teachers are rejoic ing over the fact that their salaries during the coming term will be' in creased and that they will receive enough money to live comfortably upon. The profession of teaching has, in time past, been the most poorly paid of any,-but a new era has dawn ed and hereafter the instructors in our public schools will receive more money for their work, a work which is of the most arduous and trying sort. Greensboro News: "Mr. Borglum washed his hands of all connections with negotiations looking to our or ganization of an airplane manufactur ing enterprise," says his next friend, Gibson. But congroas feels that Borg lum didn't "wash his hands" soon enough or clean enough. Hickory Record: Gutzon Borslum, the sculptor named by President Wil son to conduct an investigation intoiisgs airplane production, has destroyed himself and strengthened the admin istration as a result of the disclosures made in the senate when it was charged that he was in collusion with other persons to build an airplane factor and rake off some profits. Greenville Reflector: Seeing their evilas loafing places for idlers, the authorities of Raleigh have prohibited the operation of pool rooms in that city after June 1st. This is a time when . all men should be engaged in work of some kind, and Raleigh is moving in the right direction in breaking up the loafing places. Fayettevllle Observer: First one darned thing and then another is pop ping up to set back Kaiser Bill. He was going to starve out England by a ruthless submarine war, and now England goes and bottles up the sub marines. Greensboro Record: J. L. Bowers, of Hamstead, upon his return from prison, may have a different view point. In the year that will be given him for reflections he may see that while his mouth is his own, it is sub ect to regulation by the government. Many people thoughtlessly shoot off their mouths about many things, and nothing is done about it. But when a nation is in war the man who aids the enemy in any way should be pun ished. It is perhaps a slat-jarring proposition to Mr. Bowers, but the year and a day will do him much good and perhaps the fact that he goes will do some others good. Let us at least hope so. State News ' Disgrace to Buncombe. The indictment of the Buncombe "County Home" by the grand jury demands the serious attention of the people of this county. Fortunately the names signed to that report are the names of men whose testimony needs no corroboration. They went to the County Home and made the best examination possible under difficult circumstances. They found conditions that are a disgrace to any people and they had the courage to speak the truth. Asheville Times. Durham's Home Guard. The Durham reserve militia ap peared Friday afternoon on our streets fully uniformed in a parade that did great credit to the organization.

One of the largest private real es tate transactions of recent years in Greensboro was closed yesterday by the terms of which title to the Ben bow Arcade property on South Elm street is transferred from C. D. Ben bow to the Vick Chemical company. The exact purchase price is not dis closed, though it is known to be in the neighborhood of 150,000 Greensboro News. Handsome Gift to Greensboro. As an evidence of his love for the community in which he has spent the greater portion of a long and useful life, and in order to erect while he is yet alive a memorial to his own name that will survive for all time, John Van Lindley, known throughout the south as a nurseryman and val uable citizen, today presented to the city of Greensboro, through the mu nicipality's board of commissioners, a deed to 40 acres of land west of the city, to be maintained by the city as a park and public playground. Greensboro Record. Broke Under the Strain. Colonel Fries, of Winston-Salem, di rector in North Carolina of the war savings campaign, lies on his bed at his Winston-Salem home prostrate by the expenditure of energies he has given to this work. His brother, Hen ry Fries, spealt:ng yesterday to a group of county representatives of the movement in conference here, ex pressed the situation of his brother aptly, when he said that the work had been very mucl on his heart, then it got on his nerves and now it has put him on his back. Those in timate with Colonel Fries testify that his labors in this movement have been so arduous and unrelenting that he broke under the strain. Char lotte News. Boy Scouts' Gooo Work.

I HAD scarcely breathed while Milly wan telline her story. It was a terrible one, but also terribly in teresting to one who knew and. be lieved her. I never thought of doubt ing a word she said. No one who had heard her could. . "No wonder you believed him," I said, hoping she would go on. "I was a fool! Mary, a little blind fool. He was married last week. went to the church and sat in the back pew. I was so well dredsed they let me in without a card. Clothes counted, even there, you see. ut Mary, the worst thing he did to me was to destroy all the faith I had in my heart. But that's the way a man like him keeps his word to. girls ljke us. When you come to think of it why should he? If we are silly enough to be caught, I don't suppose we de serve any pity." During her recital Miliy's face had gone white under the rouge. The shadows under her eyes had percept ibly darkened. What It had cost her to lay bare her soul I would never know. But I think she told me trying to save me from a like fate. Little did she know that I had learned back in our home town that a man above a girl in station is seldom -in earnest in his love-making. No good could come of my telling her, so I did not mention my own experience. "And what are you going to do now?" I asked. "God knows! My money is gone. I must leave the apartment. He made no provision ofr me." For the first time she showed emotion. "But I am going to be good. Good. I know they say a girl can't come back when once she has done something like I did. But I will prove that she can. For I will!" Then very quietly, "Stick to your work, Mary; don't be blinded by what any one says. I know it is hard, but compared to other things it is heaven." Some way as Milly finished speak ing I found myself thinking again of Alice Newlands. She was near Miliy's age. I would ask her to help get a position for Milly where she could once more earn her living. Until then I would keep her with me. So when Carrie and Bettie came in they found Milly installed in my room. "Just four of us, and no more of us!" Betty caroled after she and Car rie had been properly introduced. "Milly is a stenographer out of a job, too, Betty, so you'll have com pany for a day or two, or until she finds a position." We, Milly and I, had decided not to tell the girls her story. We simply said she was from the same town I was, so had come to me. I think Carrie suspectea we were holding something back, but she NEW YORK LETTER. By O. O. M'INTYRE.
