State Health Officer, las issued an appeal to tile people of North Car ilina to begin at once a program of physical jrepuiedriess lit".said ?"A desperado and his gang are loose in the vorld. They are running amuck, destroying ?ivilization. leaving in their wake death and test ruction among innocent. God-fearing na 10ns and individuals. "Our President has called for a program of mparedness designed to give us protection igainst this sinister force, involving a billion and i half dollers. which amount will be increased is necessity demands. This will give us mct'h anized units, airplanes, submarines and other material with which to defend ourselves if this should become necessary "These mechanized units, however, will avail us nothing unless we enter into a definite pro gram of physical preparedness. Let us not re peat the mistakes of 1917, when our manpower was 33 1-3 per cent unfit for active military duty. It is of paramount importance that the in dividual becomes physically fit before he of fers himself for the service of his country. It is only through physical fitness that he will have the mental alertness, the healthy eye and the physical endurance to make the quick decisions necessary for the successful prosecution of a war and then prosecute these decisions. If we must fight to preserve our heritage, let us man our machines of war with men whose eyes are clear, whose hands are steady and whose nerves are of iron. "We can begin this program of physical pre paredness no eSrlier than now Tomorrow it may be too late. As State Health Officer, 1 earn estly call upon our people to take advantage of every moans that science, through a benign Providence, has placed at our disposal to make us physically fit. Let the work of immunization against preventable diseases begin now. Let our people take stock of themselves arid make the unwavering decision for physical preparedness. "North Carolina was first at Bethel. Let it be first in physical preparedness. We gave the world the airplane, war's most modern and ef fective weapon. Let us also pioneer in giving our nation the best there is in manpower. "God spare us from the desperado?deliver us from war. But in war or peace. 'God give us men'." '/ he "War Loan*" Attain New York Times. The old theme of the United States dragged into the last European conflict because of its "war loans" has been revived by several mem bers of the Senate. Mr. Johnson of California recalls the olt-quoted comment, "our heart is where our money is" .. The facts are all readily available . . Before the United States entered the war no public loans of any kind were made abroad by the made by industrial American investors. Such loans* amounted in round numbers to $2,250, 000,000. Concerning these loans, there are two relevant factors to.be noted: First, the greater part of them was secured by first-class collat eral, consisting of American and other neutral securities, so that the investors did not need an Allied victory in order to be paid. Second, the national wealth of the United Stales in T917 amounted to more than $200,000,000,000. If "our heart is where our money i?," then our heart was in this country?on the side of the two hundred billions and not m Europe on the side of the two and a half billions. Any "econom ic" interpretation of history which suggests that we had a profit motive in risking two hun dred dollars at home for the, sake of protecting two and a half dollars abroad is on its face sheer nonsense. The American people went to war in 1917 for publicly declared reasons of national safe ty and because they believed it to be to their best interests to do so. They must be tired of theories which picture them as either knaves or fools. It is motive alone that gives character to the actions of men.?Bruyere. Martin County Dog Owners, Attention!
