'CAST SELFISH "DOWN SAID PRESIDENT WILSON IN A DARING ADDRESS BEFORE BALTIMORE AUDIENCE. j The President spoke as follows: "Fellow citizens: This is the an niversary of our acceptance of Ger many's challenge to fight for our right to live and be free, and for the sacred rights of free men everywhere. The nation is awake. There is no need to call to It. We know what the war must cost, ourt utmost sacrifice, the lives of our fittest men and, of need be, all that we possess. The loan wo are met to discuss is one of the least parts of what we are called upon to give and to do, though In itself It is imperative. The people of the whole country are alive to the necessity of it and are ready to lend to the utmost, even where It involves a sharp and daily sacrifice to lend out of meager earnings. They will look with repro bation and contempt upon those who can and will not, upon those who de mand a higher rate of interest, upon those who think of it as a mere com mercial transaction. I have not come, therefore, to urge the loan. I have come only to give you. If I can, a more vivid conception of what it is for. "The reason for this great war, the reason why it had to come, the need to fight It through, and the issues that hang upon Its outcome are more clear ly disclosed now than ever before It is easy to see Just what this particular loan means because the cause we are fighting for stands more sharply revealed than at any previous crisis of the momentous struggle. The man who knows least can now see plainly how the cause of lustice stands and what the imperishable thing is he is asked to invest in. Men in America may be more sure than they ever were before that the cause is their own. and that, if it should he lost, their own great nation's place and mission in the world would be lost with It. "I call you to witness, my fellow countrymen, that at no stage of this terrible business have I Judged the purposes of Germany intemperately. I should be ashamed In the presence of affairs so grave, so fraught with the destinies of mankind throughout all the world, to Rpeak with trucu lenca, to use the weak languages of hatred or vindictive purpose. We must Judge as we would be Judged. I have sought to learn the objects Ger many has in this war from the mouths of her own spokesmen and to deal as frankly with them as I wished them to deal with me. I have laid bare our own Ideals, our own purposes, without reserve or doubtful phrase, and have asked them to say as plainly what it Is that they seek. "We have ourselves proposed no In- Justice, no aggression. We are ready, whenever the final reckoning Is made to be Just to the German people, deal fairly with the German power, as with all others. There can be 110 dif feronce between peoples In the final Judgment, If it is indeed to be a right eous Judgment To propose anything but Justice, even-handed and dispas sionate Justice to Germany at any time, whatever the outcome of the war, would be to renounce and dis honor our own cause. For we ask nothing that we are not willing to ac cord. "It has been with this thought that I have sought to learn from those who spoke for Germany whether it was Justice or dominion and the execution of their own will upon the other na tions of the world, that the German leaders were seeking. They have an swered, answered In unmistakable terms. They hare avowed that It was not Justice but dominion and the un hindered execution of their own will "The avowal has not come from Germany's statesmen. It has come from her military leaders, wno are her real rulers. Her statesmen have said that they wished peace, and were ready to discuss Its terms whenever their opponents were willing to sit down at the conference table with them. Her present chancellor has said, In Indefinite and uncertain terms, In deed, and in phrases that often seem to deny their own meaning, but with as much plainness as he thought pru dent—that he believed that peace should be based upon the principles which we had declared would be our own In the final settlement. "At Brest-Litovsk her civilian dele gates spoke ill similar terms; profess ed their desire to conclude a fair peace and accord to the peoples with whose fortunes they were dealing the right to choose their own allegiances But action accompanied and followed the profession. Their military masters, the men who act for Germany and exhibit her purpose In execution, proclaimed a very different COHCHJ- GROUND GLASS FOUND IN NINE ARTICLES OF FOOD Announced by Major Gslnee—Govern ment Has Found But One Case. San Antonio, Texas. —Proof of the presence of ground glass in nine dif ferent articles of food shipped to the 90th division commissary at Camp Travis, was announced by Major Noel Gaines, in charg« of the military po lice of the 90th division. Fifty mem bers of officers' families and enlisted nin are ill, he said. DOMINIONS IN THE DUST" | sion. We can not mistake what they j haya done—in Russia, in Finland, in I the Ukraine, in Rumania. The real I test of their justice and fair play has come. From this we may judge the rest. They are enjoying in Russia a cheap triumph in which no brave or gallant nation can long take pride. A great people, helpless by their own act, lias for the time at their mercy. Their fair professions are forgotten. They nowhere set up justice but ev erywhere impose their power and ex ploit everything for their own use and aggrandizement; and the peoples of coaquered provinces are invited to be free under their dominion. "Are we not justified in believing that they woudl do the same things at their western front if they were not there face to face with armies whom even their countless divisions cannot overcome? i "If they have felt their check to be final, they should propose favorable and equitable terms with regard to Belgium and France, and Italy, could they blame us if we concluded that they did so only to assure themselves of a free hand la Russia and the East? "Their purpose is undoubtedly 11> make all Slavic peoples, all the free and ambitious nations of the Baltic pe ninsula. all the lands that Turkey has dominated and misruled, subject to their will and ambition and build upon that dominion an empire of force upon which they fancy that they can erect an empire of gain and commercial su premacy—an empire as hostile to the Americas as to the Europe which it will overawe—nn empire which will ultimately master Persia, India and the peoples of the Far East. In such a program our ideals, the ideals of justice and humanity and liberty, the principle of the free self determina tion of nations upon which all the modern world insists, can play no part. They are rejected for the ideals of power, for the principle that the strong must rule the weak, that trade must follow the flag, whether those to whom it is taken welcome it or not. that the peoples of the world are to be made subject to the patronage and overlordship of those who have the power to enforce It. "That program, once carried out, America and all who care or dare to stand with her must arm and prepare themselves to contest the mastery of the world, a mastery in which the rights of common men, the rights of women and of all who are weak, must for the time being, be trod urffler feet and be disregarded, the old age long struggle for freedom and righl begin again at its beginning Every thing that America has lived for and loved and grown great to vindicate and bring to a glorious realization will have fallen in utter rain and gates oi mercy once more pitilessly shut upon man ktnd. "The thing is preposterous and Im possible, and yet. is not that what thi whole course and action of the Ger man armies has meant wherever they have moved? I do not wish, even in this moment of utter disillusionment, to judge harshly or unrighteously, I Judge only what the German arms have accomplished with unpitying thoroughness throughout every fair re gion they have touched. "What then are we to do? For my self, I am ready, ready still, ready even now, to discuss a fair and Just and honest peace at any time that it is sincerely purposed—a peace in which the strong and the weak shall fare alike But the answer, when I proposed such a peace, came from the German commanderß in Russia, and I can not mistake the meaning of the answer. "I accept the challenge I know that you will accept It. All the world shall ; know that you accept It. It shall ap-1 pear In the utter sacrifices and self forgetfulness with which we shall give all that we lore and all that we have to redeem the world and make It fit for free men like ourselves to live i In. This now Is the meaning of all that we do. Let everything that we say, my fellow countrymen, everything that we henceforth plan and accom plish, ring true to this response till the majesty and might of our concert ed power shall fill the thought aad utterly defeat the force of those who flout and misprize what we honor and hold dear. Germany has osce mors said that force, and force alone, shall decide whether Justice and peace shall reign In the affairs of men, whether right as America conceives It. or do minion as she conceives it, shall de termine the destinies of mankind. There Is, therefore, but one response possible from us: force, force to the utmoet. force without stint or limit, the righteous and triumphant force which shall make right the law of the world and cast every selfish dominion down 1B the dust." Washington.—lnvestigation by the government of thousands of stories of ground glass in food has disclosed bo/ one case in which glass actually was found, according to the committee on public information. This instance was the work of a disgruntled employe of a Tort Smith, Ark., bakery who drovi his employer out of business by pat ting glass in a loaf of bread seat to an orphanage. Soma of the orphans had their lips cut bnt no more serious injuries resulted. The baker, accused of being a German agent, had to oloss his sltop THE ENTERPRISE, WILLIAMSTON, NORTH CAROLINA BEHIND TIE MIIISTMIH Rank and File of the Farmers' Union Is True and Loyal, Says Franklin Farmer. "We farmers elected our present war governor, uud by the Eternal we are behind and with hi 9 administra tion and we are going to stick there until we see this thing through," is the emphatic way in which Mr. H. D. Ed gerton, a farmer of Franklin county, expresses his views about the farm ers and the war. The leaders of the Farmers' union In North Carolina may wander far afield after strange gods, but the rank and file, says Mr. Edgerton. will be Just as loyal as were their ances tors In previous wars. In fact, Mr. Edgerton says, the only reason there is any talk of disloyalty among the farmers is because they too seldom speak or write their beliefs and feel ings but their henrts are right In an interview he says: "Farmers, as a rule, don't talk much—write less; but think more than they get credit for. At this pe riod in the history of the Farmers' union I think it opportune for the pa triot! • members of the organization to 'speak out in meeting.' As to the In dividual view of any of the 'socalled leaders' of the union I know nothing; but I do know that the farmers of this section of the State are as true and loyal as their ancestors before them have been In every trial that the nation has been subjected to "Why, sir, we people here live In wlint was In colonial days the country of 'Bute,' and during the long strug gle of the Revolution for civil liberty it was a common saying that there 'are no Tories in Hute;' and I thank Ood there are none here now "Why, sir. we would not dishonor the memory of the great men who have gone out from here in the past. The great statesman. Nathaniel Ma con. the Ransoms, honest J. J. Davis, Col. W. W. Green, and others too nu nierous to mention. "We farmers elected our present war governor, and 'by the Eternal' we are behind and with his administra tion and we are going to *tlck there until It Is through. I wish we could have elected him for 30 years Instead of for four. Yes. sir, we Farmers' Union men and farmers of this nation are going to win this war, and we are going to do It with three B's: Bullets, Biscuits and Baker's Bread. "Away with this talk about disloy alty of farmers We are not Bol shevik! Russian peasants that can be led about, by I,entnes and Trotskvs, but are free American citizens with a determination to preeerve the civil and religious liberties handed down to us by our ancestors." Thle Boy WM No Deserter. Special From Washington.—The In justices and Inequalities that are so often unintentionally committed against the Individual in the adminis tration of the details of a world war are tragically emphasized In the story of Jerrell H. Marsh, of Parkton, N. C. Unaccounted for hy reason of an over sight the Spartan like Tar Heel gave his life upon the battlefield while pho tographs dleplayed In his home town sought his whereabouts as having dis appeared from the fighting ranks. Jerrell Marsh did not ask why—"lt was enough for him to do and die," While army officers missed him from the ranks to which he had been as signed, he was attached to the United States artillery that wont over with the Canadian overseas troops. He fought and bled and died for his coun try at Vimy Ridge Tliia was some time In 1917, and the announcement of his death and Identification comes many months thereafter. Probably nobody Is to blame for wrongfully classifying this young man who so valiantly fought the battle of liberty. His heroic act doesn't even mutely suggest—"place the blame where the fault lleV^' —but the deed* of valor overshadow It all with radi ant. splendor The advertisement and monetary reward that hung auspicious ly among the people of his home coun ty will almost topple from their perch ed position when the, true story Is known. Jerrell Marsh "went over the top"— and he bravely sacrificed his life to make the world a fit place to live In.

STATE ORGANIZER J. Z. GREEN RESIGNS WOULD ASK NO MAN TO JOIN UNION UNDER ALEXANDERS LEADERSHIP. DISPATCHES FROM RALEIGH Doings and Happenings That Mark the Progress of North Carolina Peo ple, Gathered Around the State Capital: Raleigh. To tho Rxerutlve Committee N. C Farmers Union: At tho last annual meeting of tho State Union at Winston-Salem I ac cepted a unanimous re election as or ganiser-lecturer for the ninth time with misgivings, and only under the hope that the universal condemna tion by the press of North Caro lina of the State president's disloyal attitude, in the greatest of all world struggles for human freedom, would at least make It undesirable on his part to receive further odious publicity and 'that a sufficient amount of official si lence would prevail to make it possi ble to proceed with the legitimate con structive work of the organization without a further humiliation of Its loyal members who are keeping their local unions alive nad active In com munlty cooperation under their own Initiative and independent of tho po litical activities of individual Stato officials, who have built for themselves a political proßram over which they became exceedingly enthusiastic and over which tho rank and file of a re maining membership are profoundly and admirably Indifferent, When I entered into the Farmers Union work In my greatest fear was that activities of those who were by nature more interested In political questions than In constructive co-oper ative efforts might ultimately have the effect of hastening a premature disin tegration Tif the organization. My ef forts from the beginning have been concentrated along constructive lines under the predominating Idea of per petuating the organization, making the local unions vital and active agencies, under strong and efficient community leadership, such as would make them strong and potent factors for the pro motion of better farming, better busi ness and better living In tho country. There are a few local unions of this kind existing now In this State, but they exist only under efficient commu nlty leadership, which, In most In stances, Is active only under its own lnltiave and Independent of any counsel, political or otherwise, from State officials. This evolution In which the principle of self government has become a strong element exempli fies the need of organizing the suc cessor of the Farmers Union stronger at tho bottom with less counsel from the top. The most expensive mis takes have been those that came through efforts to build structures I from the top downward, effort* that j wi>r> too often very much mixed and j muddled with presentations of politi cal "problems" of a general nature. In view of the recent renewed re pugnant activities of the State Presi dent and his part of. the "advisory council," In which a hostile attlude jls maintained against the Govern | merit's plans of financing the war by | the sale of bonds, having usurped to I theniHelves the privilege of repudlat- I Ing the, action of the State Union In j Its substantial endorsement of the Government's plan by Instructing that ten thousand dollars of the State Union's funds be Invested In Liberty Bonds, thus Inviting more odious pub licity through the press, I would not j be fr?nk with you or true to my own conscience if I should not declare to you that It Is not humanly possible for me to conscientiously ask any man to become a member of the Farmers Union under Its present treasonably j active State leadership/ At the recent State meeting of the Farmers Union I recall a dramatic j performance when a member read j some socialistic literature then refer- | red with approval to that very parti san organization known as the "non partisan league- which has been elect- ! Ing men to political office In the Mid- j die West, and was suggesting that the j tlm" had arrived for us to throw our hats Into the political ring, when he was called down by a gray-haired vet eran delegate from one of the eastern counties and was finally ruled "out of order" by the presiding officer. It Is a rather natural coincident that the j gentleman who wanted to "throw his ! hat Into the ring" is now nominally j managing editor of that defensive per- | sonol organ of the president, known j as the "Farmers Union Bulletin," Take Car* of Indiana. Representative Weaver and Senator Overman hare put the Cherokee In dians of North Carolina in good shape for another year. The senate has passed the Indian appropriation bill. This bill, for North Carolina, includes aa appropriation of about 47,600 for tbe maintenance of the' Indian school at Cherokaa, in Swain county, and for Improvements to the school building md grounds. The former appropria tions provided tor taking care of 190 Indian pupils. This one provides suf- I flcient faada for 250 pupils. which meems to be more or less under the eyes of tho secret service men aa possibly cn undesirable publication to bo transmitted through the malls. But by far the ?nldest tragedy that resulted from the political caucusing at the Wiriston-Salem meeting was the sacrificing of Dr. Clarence Poe, of the Progressive Farmer, by prevent ing his re-election as a member of tho executive committee, by a margin of a few votes a place which Dr. Poe had never sought, but a position In which he had rendered more valuable serv ices to the Farmers Union than all other officials lnlt. That such a thing could have happened In a Farmers Union convention In North Carolina seems strange and almost unthinkable to the membership, but It was no sur prise to those who were acquainted with the political methods that were at work. In tendering this my resignation as State organizer-lecturer may I venture the suggestion that as a temporary ex pediency In a convention attempts to make a martyr of an official who seeks reelection by holding out tho Idea that an attack upon him Is equivalent to an attack upon the Farmers Union, may serve an Immodidate purpose, as It has done, but in this ago of the dis semination of Intelligence by rtiril mall delivery, the offectf of that sort of campaigning cannot be very far reaching This severing of m? official connec tion does net Imply that I have any personal grievances whatever, or that I have in any way lost faith In tho ultimate possibilities of rural organ ization directed along practical lines, or that my services, as fnr as practi cal, wJ 11 not be available to commu nities Interested In rural organization. There has-probably never been a more opportune time to begin to organize a successor to the Farmers Union, which should retain most of its finances In the local organization and under a plan that will make the struc ture stronger at its foundation, as It should be. J. 7. OTtFKNT. Administrator Jumps Violators. Dealers in foodstuffs in North Caro lina are beginning to And that tho food control law and the orders and regulations of tho Food Administra tlon huvn troth. One reputable whole- Hale house In North Carolina was guilty recently of violating a rule of the Food Administration which pro hibits resale within a trade. Food Ad ministrator Page gave the Arm a hear ing to show cause why Its license should not ho revoked. The dealers were apparently honest In their be lief that they had done no wrong. Mr. Page did not see It that way but upon a tender of J2OO to the Red Cross he let the Arm off with anadmonltion In stead of the revocation of its license. J. Habit, a Syrian grocer at Eden ton, was not Just clear as to what control the Food Administration had over his business and ho sold some sugar for more than 10 cents a pound and some flour without the accompa nying cereal substitutes. Mr Habit was given a hearing and a "black list." order was Issued against him. I Facing the gradual disintegration of Ills business as his present stock was I exhausted, Habit woke up to the fact j that every individual in this country | has some responsibility to the country ; and to humanity in the present, emer gency. Becoming deeply penitent and making promises of earnest and ef | fedlve co-operation with the Food Administration, Mr. Habit has been allowed to contribute SIOO o Ills local chapter of the Red Cross and the ! "black list" order has been withdrawn Devotes Time to Hog Raising. Mr. Herbert Woodard, of Wilson, has severed his connection with a leading wholesale grocery concern, and will, in the future, devote his whole time to raising hogs from the purest strains of" Durocs and Poland- Chinas. A few miles out from Wilson ho has stocked his pens with 21 brood sows -13 Diii-ocff and eight Poland Chinas. Two of the sows cost nearly $l.lOO. daughters from the famous "Old Defender," SIO,OOO boar.
