Legion Ready to' Shed Blood in
Defense of Liberty and
Against Autocracy
IS REPLY TO GERMANY
Paris, June IS. Fighting under the
national flag of Poland, the first Polish
diTision entered the front line
trenches opposite the Germans today.
Within the sound of the roar of
cannon and in the presence o civil and
military authorities, the regiment re-
eeired its battle flag and entered the
war on the side of the allies.
i "It is a reply to Germany's conten
' tion that the Polish question is set-
tied," said General Archinard, chief of
. the Polish military mission to France.
Poles who have escaped from Ger
many and Poland or who have suc-
ceeded in leaving America and other
countries, form the bulk of the Polish
legion which may ofred its blood to
morrow against German autocracy in
defense of liberty and the autonomy of
Poland.
Amonglhose present at the simple
military ceremony were M. Smowski,
representative of Poland accredited to
V the allied governments; Major Cool
Idge, rejresenting the United States;
General Merrone, Italy; General Gou
' rard, France; Captain Gellgood, Great
Britain, and General Archinard, who
will command the Polish forces.
Amid an impressive silence the
chaplain of the regiment, facing the
troops and raising both hands' above
his head, gave them this oath:
"I swear before God, before the Holy
Trinity, that in allegiance to my coun
.try, I am ready to give up my life to
the last drop of my blood In the serv
ice of the holy cause of Poland, to
obey my chiefs, and to remain true to
Poland, one and indivisable."
The Polish soldiers and officers
cheered as they repeated the oath.
General Gouraud then confided the
Polish flag to the safe keeping of the
legion as a Polish military band began
the Polish national anthem.

WILL RAISE $100,000
FOR CAROLINA COLLEGE
(Special to The Dispatch)
Maxton, June 19. The trustees of
Carolina college held an interesting
meeting in the college library yester
day. A gratifying report of the year's
work was made by President John.
Hon. Robert N. Page was elected, pres
ident of the board in place of Rev. J.
E. Underwood, who after serving the
college from its .foundation asked to
be relieved. E. A. White, of Lumber-
ton ; R. D. Phillips, of Laurinburg, and
Dr. J. H. Judd, of Fayetteville, were
elected trustees.
Plans for raising $100,000 for the
college were discussed and agreed
upon. Three members of the board
pledged $1,000 each toward the fund
The president reported that nearly all
the faculty would return for the com
ing year and that the outlook for the
opening in September is good.
, London, June 19 A note of warn
ing against increased war expstdi
tures is sounded by the Daily Chron
icle and the Daily News in their com
ment on the statements made by An
drew Bonar-Law, comptroller of the
exchequer, in moving a vote of credit
in the house of commons yesterday.
Other papers do not question the hsge
outlay. '
"We are getting our money's worth,"
says the Daily Express. If adds "that
the allies look fprward to another
three months of insistent anxiety."
The Daily News says:
"The sinister fact is the indifference
that prevails on the subject. The
treasury long since ceased to exercise
control; parliament offers nothing
with which to dam the tide. The gov
ernment's ide'a of getting on with the
war does not include any consld ora
tions of economy and there is
no check on the torrents of waste in
the departments themselves."
While stating that the cost of all
materials is higher, the Chronicle
charges the government with being
mulcted and blames the "continuing
inadequacy of our financial control."
The comment of the morning papers
is to the effect that the most encour
aging part of the speech delivered by
the chancellor concerned the endless
stream of Americans to the front.
CAUSED DECLINE ON
2 STOCK EXCHANGES
. London, June 19. The. resignation
of the Bulgarian cabinet caused a
sharp decline on the Berlin and Frank
fort stock exchanges, says an Amster
dam dispatch to The Morning Post.
While the German newspapers de
clare that the resignation of the Rado-
slavoff ministry will not affect the
Bulgarian foreign policy, uneasiness Is
felt in Germany, as it is clear that
strong differences exist in Bulgaria.
It is said that many Russian women
formerly of the nobility have been re
duced to selling newspapers In the
streets.

(Special to The Dispatch.)
New Bern, June 19. Hon. Charles
L. Abernethy, candidate for congress
from the third congressional district,
and who claims to have been nomi
nated in the primary held on June 1,
left today for Wayne county, where he
goes to make further investigation of
alleged irregularities during the pri
mary.
In an intreview given out before
leaving Nek Bern, Mr. Abernethy
stated that there was not one doubt
but that he had been nominated and
that he intended to show the people
tnat sucn nad been the case. He de
clares that he will be the next repre
sentative in congress from the third
congressional district and his friends
and supporters agree with him.
He is of the opinion that when the
state board of elections meet on June
20th that they will declare him the
nominee, but should such not be done,
ha will carry the matter to court and
will present the acts that he has se
cured to that body and ask for Jus
tice. The season at Morehead City has
been officially opened and yesterday a
large number of New Bern people
went down to that place and spent the
day.
Of general interest is the announce
ment that Battery A, field artillery,
composed mainly of New Bern and
Craven county boys, has arrived safe
ly overseas and will soon be seeing
"service on the battlefields of Fance.
The boys left Camp Sevier, where
they trained, some weeks ago and
went to a point near the coast, where
they remained for several days before
sailing.
The trip across was uneventul and
and they arrived safely at a European
port and were transferred from that
place to a point in Fance, where they
wi Uremajn for some time before go
ing into active service.
According to reports reaching New
Bern, there is at the present time
hall a dozen or more portrait 'agents
"working" the rural sections of Craven
county whom the public thinks should
come under the "work or fight" ruling"
and government agents have been
asked to get down on the trail of
these men.
LaboT agents are said to be active
in this city and section again and the
authorities are keeping a watch for
them. One man from a Virginia city
Is said to have come to New Bern last
week and employed not less than a
dozen men, whom Le carried to that
state.
The police here nabbed ont of these
labor agents some time ago and made
things hot. for him for several davs
, and It was hoped that this would serva
as a leson for others but it seems that
sucn was not jhe case.
Mayor Edward Clark declares that
he will soak it to eery such agent that
is brought before him anf will give
Mm the limit of the law dealing with
- jtucn cases.
