Main and Elkin THIS STATE HAS THE WAR SPIRIT (Continued from Page One) ing the Teutonic powers had any thing against this country. Am bassador Walter Hines page be lieved that America should have entered the world war Jn 1914. But there was no such feeling against Germany then as there is now. It could not be generated. All the New York papers were vio lently against Germany. Lyman Abbott, editor of the New York Outlook, and Theodore Roose velt, assistant editor, were de manding action by President Wilson. The President was telling the people to be neutral in act and thought. But Teddy and Dr. Abbott tried to drive Wilson from that point. North Carolina was full of German people. They were universally liked. After the war had gone along a year, it looked hopeless for the allies. And at that time nobody saw any physical way for the United States to get into that war. Now it is wholly different. Ho tel men tell newspaper boys that in all their lives they never have witnessed such a change of senti ment. The word that comes up to the center of things in the state is that there is a surpris ingly large sentiment for out right war. It is observable, though, that the older ones are more warlike than the younger ones and gen erally wars have been made pos sible by the people who had to fight them. In North Carolina one does see that the "American way of life," its ownership and control over property, appeals mightily to the middle-aged. In that respect the German-Italian psychology is effective. On the purely human side it goes hay wire often. The parading of ter rors before the world is a part of that psychology, but in this state particularly that appears to stiff en the national morale. But the Teuto-Italian point against the "plutocratic democracies" gets help from here at home. The property appeal is tremendous. But the anti-interventionists have had a tough break. They have been able to make good ar guments against going to war for the British and French empires. In these Sunday night forums in Washington that creeps out. But Germany and Italy have reliev ed Britain and Prance of propa ganda activities. Walter Page, Teddy Roosevelt, Lyman Abbott, Charles Evans Hughes and the whole allied propaganda outfit yelling for war upon Germany and Austria with their Turkish allies, did not produce half the feeling in North Carolina that Germany and Italy have organ ized against themselves in their own laboriously censored dis patches. British and French propaganda has appeared to hurt them, but German propaganda has incensed the North Carolina public in an almost unbelievable, way. It is just one of the oddest things that contemporaneous people have ever observed. Al ways there are a few people who wish to make war. But North Carolinians have been against it. They are tumbling to the other THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA side and great tact will have to be used to keep them from mass ing public sentiment into doing not alone "everything short of war," but going to war with ev erything that the state and na tion have and carrying it to all the people in Germany and Italy as Germany has been presenting it to the people who happen to be in the German path. Contributions to Red Cross Here Total $521 (Continued frcm Page One) The children cry for something to eat, but there is nothing to give them. On the crowded roads are un ending streams of people, some on foot, others in wagons, a few fortunate enough to have trucks. On the shoulder- of the road lie friends, maybe relatives, struck down by gunfire. Here and there is the pitiful broken body of a child; of old people. The wound ed are loaded into trucks and wagons, which push on. The dead are left to take care of the dead.

Meaux is only 37 miles east and northeast of the capital. At the same time French forces fought against other German col umns advancing on the city from the west, along the Seine River, and from the north, down the Oise River valley. Counterattacks destroyed the enemy elements which succeeded in forcing a passage across the Seine at certain unidentified points, the spokesman said. North of Paris the Germans pushed southward to the Senlis region, where the French engaged them heavilr. Senlis itself is 32 miles from Paris. Chateau-Thierry, where the French formed their new defense lines, marks the farthest point reached by the Germans in their great offensive of May 27, 1918. The second and third divisions of the American Expeditionary Force finally turned the tide in favor of the Allies. The Marne is spanned at this point by a large stone bridge. WAR IS TAKEN TO ITALIANS (Continued from page one) Ethiopa, near the Kenya frontier, and returned without loss. King George imposed the em bargo on Italian exports by royal proclamation today. His procla mation came after the Italian coast had been mined by the Brit ish fleet. The embargo was identical with that imposed against German ex ports—to Germany's rage—ln re taliation for the German subma rine and airplane campaign a galnst merchant ships last Novem ber. Britain had charged that Ger many was sinking ships without regard to the rights of neutrals or to humanitarian principles.
