FOREST FIRES ARE CONSTANT MENAGE PEOPLE SHOULD ORGANIZE TO PREVENT RUTHLESS DESTRUC TION OF PROPERTY. BIG FIRES HARD TO SUBDUE Farmers In One Rural District Have Prevented Serious Losses by Organizing. The following extract from the Mill Springs correspondent of the Polk County News and Tryon Bee again calls attention to the constant menace to life And the enormous damage to property Incident to forest fires : "A destructive Are has been raging on White Oak Mountain for several days. Our people should organize themselves in different ways to pre vent such ruthless destruction of our forests by ignorant and evil minded persons. Owing to the strong winds at this time of the year, it ts very difficult to subdue such fires when once they get started." In a recent issue of Farm and Fire side a story appears telling of the organization of a farmers fire league which was organized by a California community and has proved a valuable asset to farmers and property owners In hitherto much menaced locality. l!t was at Oakdale, a rural district in California, which was in the midst of a well timbered section where the scenery was very attractive and was a favorite place for campers during the pleasant weather. One fall after an unusual amount of destruction had been wrought by flres the Farmers' Fire League was organized. A social was given, which every one attended and the first funds for the society were raised. Axes, long handled rakes and hoes and other implements were procured and distributed at the vari ous small shacks bufTT as fire fighting stations in convenient places. On a high hill they established a "lookout" and the simplest of telephone systems, also a comprehensive code of signals. At the first appearance of fire notice was given all along the line and league members from fax and near rallied at the danger points. When necessary day and night brigades were formed. The successful work of the league interested others and it has grown continuouslv since the autumn of 191 when it was formed and losses by fire since that time have been exceedingly small In the district covered and there is a feeling of security which former ly was absent. UBMARINES AFTER BIG STEAMER LONDON. Aug. 9. The Maritime Circles today state that the German submarine is now devoting practical ly all It3 attention to big steamers excluding fishing boats and trawlers. Twenty-one British ships over 1,0 00 ton3 and two of less size were sunk last week showing an Increase of two over the ureceeriins week Th seamen report that the submarines are more cautious since the I nited States destrovers are rr-nnp ratine with the British and the French war crafts. SPEED WILL DEFEAT SUBMARINES (By International News Service.) WASHINGTON, Aug. 9. The fast merchant ships are to be relied upon to defeat the German submarine. The Navy has concluded no special device but states that speed is neces sary to take supply ships across the Atlantic safely. A close study re veals that submarines sight a victim and follow its maximum speed on surface under cover of darkness Overtaking a ship at dawn the sub mersible launches the torpedo. According to C. C. Shaw, chair man of the exemption board, David son county has had no resistance to the draft and they are expecting none.

Perilous Economy For People to Consume Only Necessaries By PAUL O. HU STING, Senator From Wisconsin TT has come to my attention that JL ail over the United btates zeal ous and patriotic men and wo men, in the belief that they are pro moting the best interests of the country and in a praiseworthy at tempt to join the nation wide move ment for economy as recommended, are now eating and wearing and us ing the bare necessaries of life in the patriotic belief that thev are promoting the best interests of the country and are thereby "doing their bit bv way of sacnhce 1L PROVE THEIR DEVOTION TO THEIR COUNTRY. But the net result of this move ment, however praiseworthy in pur pose, instead of alleviating the con ditions, can, of course, only aggra vate them. OF COURSE IF ALL OUR PEOPLE ABANDON THE USE OF EVERY THING EXCEPT NECESSARIE8 THE DRAIN AND DRIVE UPON THE 8UPPLY OF THEM WILL BE GREATLY INCREASED. Future Immigrants Must Have Here Only One Allegiance By OVEN WISTER, Noted Author WE cannot in our democracy be so drastic as we might to our advantage very well be just now for awhile. Alien and sedition laws were necessary once. They would be wholesome today. What would be treason in any other coun try has beeh perpetrated here re peatedly under our easy going laws and customs. These hyphens would (and did) join with the pacifists to keep the United States defenseless expressly to aid our possible ene mies. TniS, IF NOT TREASON, IS TREACHERY. But I hope the lesson of this war taught us by the hyphens will wake us up to the new era; that, while we welcome the immigrant, we will not allow him our citizenship quite so soon or on such cheap terms; that he must come here with no foreign string to him, but to be in heart and soul and mind an American citi zen. AND WE SHOULD EFFECTIVELY DISCOURAGE ALL PAPERS PRINT ED IN ANY FOREIGN TONGUE WHICH HAVE FOR THEIR PUR POSE THE PERPETUATION OF THE STRING TIED TO THE IMMI GRANT. Requirements of Medical Profession Raised From Within By Dr. CHARLES H. MAYO, Pres ident of the American Med icai Association '"PHE requirements of our profes- JL sion have been raised from within and not forced from without. The American College of Surgeons deserves great credit for establishing its high standards for the science of surgery and the hon esty of the surgeon. Through immediate necessity hos pitals are rapidly being classified and standardized that they may be come more efficient for the people and for the training of nurses and future physicians. As a body no profession has more power if "wisely used. WE HAVE AT ONCE JUMPED PA8T THE PERIOD OF DI8CU6SION WITH FANATICS AND CULT8 A8 TO THE CAU8E AND PREVENTION OF DISEA8E, A LONG PERIOD IN MEDICAL HISTORY, FOR TODAY DISEA8E CAN BE CHECKED BY ORDER. Our country should secure a med ical cabinet officer in the near fu ture. The great problems which now occupy men's minds make those of the preceding few rears seem trivial and even hysterical. Medical men, vour country needs you now and always. You must re member that the state is permanent and does not exist for the good of the individual, BUT THAT THE INDIVIDUAL EXISTS FOR THE GOOD OF THE STATE. On account of tffe drafting law Ed Blalock, an objector of the draft, of HoldenvlIIe, Okla., was killed and a posseman. Jack Paige, was wounded and carried off by the outlaws. .

Railroads Making Effective Efforts ' to Give the Government Efficient Transportation Service for Camps and Shipyards. Special to The Gazette. WASHINGTON', D. C, Aug. 9. Fairfax Harrison, chairman of the Railroads' War Board, authorizes the following : Gratifying indication of the ex tent to which the railroads of the I'nited States are making effectlv their effort to produce greater trans portation efficiency to aid in winning the war is afforded by reports just received by the Railroads' War Board. The first meeting of the War Board was held April 23. Figures for May, the first full month follow ing show that the railroads rendered about lti per cent more freight serv ice with practically the aame cars and locomotives as last year. The War Board was created by the railroads at the request of the Council of National Defense. The railroads agreed that for the period of war they, should be operated by the board as a single transcontinen tal railroad system, eliminating all individual and competitive activities The railroads have gone at thi patriotic effort as they never went at anything before in their history Their difficulties are very great but never before have difficulties been tackled with finer spirit or greate determination to surmount them. New railroad equipment whic can be made in America is now beln sent to our allies in Europe. The problem of our railroada-is to handle a very great increase in freight wit virtually no increase in cars, iocomo Uvea or tracks. In that effort they are not only co-operating among themselves but are receiving splen did support from the public and th shippers. Actual returns just now compiled are from railroads having 173,10 miles of line. The reports show that these lines in May last year gave service equivalent to carrying 2 426,515,011 tons of freight one mile while this year they carried 29,522, S70.109 tons one mile, an increase of exactly 1 0. 1 per cent. This great increase in service wa rendered with a very slight increase in the amount of equipment used The number of freight locomotives in service in May last year was 24, .'!" 2. while this year the number wa 24.4S3, an increase of one-half or one per cent. Last year in May there were 1.S00.842 freight cars In serv ice. while this year the number wa 1.N33.92 1, an increase or one and four-fifths per cent. A distinct mark of progress is the great reduction in the number o freight cars in the shop awaiting re pairs. I-ast year in May there were 113.147 cars under, or awaiting re pairs, while this year only 104.061 were in that condition. locomotives in repair or awaiting repairs las vear were 4,00(5 and In Mav this vear 3.593, a reduction of 10.3 per cent Last vear railroad locomotives ran an average of '".', miles per dav while this year they made 71..' miles. Freight cars marie an aver- age of 2. 3 miles a day in May las year and this year 29.fi miles, an in crease of ." per cent. In the same pe riod. the mileage of cars moving under load was increased by 0.." per cent. The foregoing figures will ap pear all the more remarkable when it is realized that May 1 f 1 f was it self a month of heavy traffic. (Ad.) GOVKKNMKXT CONTROLS IMH S- TRIES. ( Bv International News Service.) WASHINGTON. Aug. S. The or ganized labor and the administration have declared a truce, at least during the war. Secretary Baker is study ing plans to avert labor troubles in war times. It is generally under stood that the plans meet the approv al of the President and Samuel Gompers, the head of the American Federation of Iabor. The details have not been made public, but are believed to follow closely the Eng lish system. The war department assumes supervision over all Indus tries related to the conduct of war The department takes the right to commandeer such industries in case of labor troubles. A continuous work and conciliation commission is to be appointed and the members are to be chosen from labor, capital and ad ministration personnel. Their decis ion is to be mandatory to employer and the employee and date from the origin of differences. TEUTONS ARE GROWING WEAK ER. (By International News Service.) PARIS. Aug. 8. Another winter of war has been predicted by the French military experts. Russia is discounted, but great hopes hinge on the part to be played by the United States during the next ten months The Teutons are grow ing weaker ec onomically and in military affairs. A gigantic offensive is expected to be launched by the Allies and the I'nit ed States is included. The Germans are working desperately for military decision on the western front before cold weather, but present indications are that their hopes are shattered. The attacks are growing weaker as the reserves dwindle and the gun munitions of the Allies grow stron ger. Washington has been informed or the slight disturbances in Chatham and Davidson counties. The Provost General and the Department of Jus tice are keeping close watch on the draft conditions. aiCO Reward, $109 Ths r aiders of this paper will b pleased to learn that there Is at least on dreaded disease that science has been able to eure ia all Its stag-ea, and that is catarrh.
