Hindenburg has been very serious ly delayed in that dinner engagement at Paris. W. S. S- Which will you donate your money to the American Red Cross or the German Iron Cross? W. S. S. The button of the American Red Cross looks much better upon the lapel of your coat than the German Iron Cross would around the neck of the German beast. w. s. s. Don't forget the American boys in the trenches in France, and that they can not get tobacco over there. Send us a dollar and keep one boy in to bacco for a month. W. S. S. Polk county stands in a very se lect class just now. She oversub scribed her Third Liberty Loan quota, and now let's , stay in" the select class by oversubscribing our Red Cross quota. W. S. S. "Will we never get through having to give money," we often hear asked. Not until the Kaiser and his horde of murderers are fully and completely whipped. So give cheerfully and with good-will. W. S. S. The Red Cross chapter of Polk county is asking the citizens of this county for a cash donation of $1,000. It will require but a small amount from every person to raise this amount. Let's give it. w. s. s "After the Red Cross, what?" says somebody. Why that other band oi noble, Christian workers, the Y. M. C. A. That organization will soon be asking for a few" millions, and oi course will get just what they asl for, as they should. w. s. s. The President of the United States . is also President of the Red Cross and heartily endorses the plan of rais ing money that has been adopted by that organization. Not only that but he is a liberal subscriber. Don't fail to give to the Red Cross. W. s. s. Remember that the Red Cross peo ple will be the first -to reach yom boys in the trenches 'Over There." It requires many millions of dollars each month to carry on their work. The only means they have of secur ing money is by free-will offerings When approached by a Red Cross so licitor remember that and cheerfully give. W. S. S. The Y. M. C. A. is still begging foi recruits for both home and over-sea service. If you are a person of good reputation and not subject to military conscription you could not serve your country any better than by volun teering in the service of the Y. M. C , A. Send your name to the NEWS and we wil at once put you in touch with the proper pe; sons. V' S. S.

Flynn, of the U. S. Se cret Service, who has been instrumen, tal in detecting many German spies in this country, including Dr. Dernberg, Count Von Bernstorff , declares that at a low estimate there are 250.000 German spies in this country. "A seemingly good frined, yet he or she is the most dangerous viper in the United States. My best advice is what you know keep to yourself." applies to Tryon and vicinity. With in a few miles are thousands upon thousands of recruits encamped, or moving in and on the railroads. Some of these spies have been caught wrecking or planning to wreck troop trains, says Mr. Burns. This is an answer to the careless remarks some times heard here, "What can spies find out of any value in this part of the country?" A railroad wreck killing and wounding scores of re cruits may be one thing these spies would think worth while in behalf of the Fatherland. "What you know keep to yourself and be on your guard against unaccounted for strang ers. "CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME." This is one of the oldest and truest sayings in the Bible, and it is very applicable to business conduct, also. The old saying, "The Lorrd takes care of those who take care of themselves" is also very true. And in all our ex perience as a newspaper man, we have yet to see the time when there was so little consideration given the newspaper as today. Page after page, column after column, has been freely contributed by the newspapers of the country, until at last the time has come when a halt must be made. In the past twelve months there have been more than twelve hundred news papers suspended publication in the United States. Of course the greater portion of these have been country weeklies. Hardly a printing office but has been sorely hit by its help being con scripted or volunteering for service; Paper and all other supplies have ad vance to an undreamed-of price; the newspapers are beseeched every week with a regular deluge of space beg gars, the great United States being ':he largest offender, and from there n down the line to home folks. Not jnly has the government begged more free space than anybody else, 3ut has actually beseeched some oi .he largest advertisers in the country .o curtail their advertisements. The government wants all the space that .he papers will give it, but at the ;ame time is doing all in its power to 'kill the goose that lays the golden gg." Every Liberty Loan drive, ev. try Red Cross drive; every War Sav- ngs drive; every Y. M. C. A. drive hat comes up, almost demands of the iewspapers that they give up to the ause column after column of its ;pace. In the present Red Cross irive we were told some time before he drive commenced that the organ zation was not going to ask the iewspapers to give its space free, ut that sufficient advertising would e given the-papers to at least pay .he actual expense of the campaign in most places this was done, but in Polk county not a line of advertising ivas given this paper, and yet some eople expressed surprise because we lid not make handsome cash sub ;criptions to the fund. We gave sev ral columns of free space. What nore could you expect? m rni j t in r . xne mini j-.iDeny ljoan drive is he only one that has spent any mon y for advertising in this paper. We lo not , like to be everlast ngly hammering away about be ng asked for so much free pace, and so have decided to make me set and fast rule for the future, n any other drive, regardless of vhat it may be, if you expect any at ention at the hands of this paper ou will- first have to arrange for nough paid advertising to pay the ;xpenses we will be put to in order o give you what space you may ex pect. bo, unless you want to cause your elf, as well as us, some unnecessary mbarrasment you will not ask us to publish a lot of free junk, for in self iefense; in order to exist; if you )lease, we are compelled to take this step. li the great United States govern nent is able to pay the expenses of arge delegations to meet at some entral point and adopt resolutions md wind-jam, and then come home xpecting the newspaper to tell its eaders how it happened, then it is ully able to pay for advertising space n the paper.

R PTYi,,n Chm. v Polk County Democratic MISS WILCOX REPLIES. My Dear Mr. Copeland; t . :,- Having foolishly began an argu ment in the NEWS, I must take time to state my point of view once more. Here is a very splendid fact: that will be. more convincing than anything I am able to say: Ysaye is playing Beethoven and Brahms this winter. The great Bel gian violinist is playing the music of Germans. You see. beincr a great ar tist, Ysaye does not think of Beauty as belonging to this or that man, tnis or that nationality. To him it is one of the eternal miracles. It is some thing quite apart which the artist, musician, poet or painter strives to tell the world of. He has neara, ne has seen, and he labors to express some fragment of this vision. I like to think it is truly American to ad mit greatness and love it even in the past of our enemies. Not the false greatness of Frederick King . of Prussia, but the true greatness that gave to man some message oi truth :r beauty. The greatness of Luther, Goethe, Bach, is not going to be touched by the vileness ot Prussian Kultur, nor by an unreasoning hys teria of hate on our part. Goethe hated the Prussians and said the vorld would never tolerate another Caesar. Wagner was for years a po itical exile after the democratic up rising of 1848. Think what a strug gle he had. Is he now among whom Prussian Kultur would claim? The terrible, tragic humor of it, I have grown to believe in the cap tal punishment of the Criminal Na ion, but we must hold inviolate what nessage of Eternal Beauty came ;hough them in the past. We are at war. Was it our love of America that called us to arms? Loyalty, like all things, is governed )y evolution. From feudal fealty up md up to love of country; and be ond; can't you see that bright light? t is the very antithesis of German patriotism.. Thank God for this. To :e an American patriot is to love the ruth, justice, liberty, fraternity, jeauty, and for these to sacrifice, -vork, fight, I am ashamed. This is not a time "or wordy arguments with one's riends. I should have spent this half lour at the Red Cross. But many vorkers there thanked me for my irst letter and will forgive this waste LOIS WILCOX. P. S. I wish I could feel as Mrs. virchner does, 'that the Beautiful Slue Danube waltz is entwined about .he German heart. I associate it-with he hearts of my grandmothers, and ;ee something quite different at the aeart of Germany now. UNIVERSAL MILITARY i TRAINING VOTES 176 Congressmen and 42 Sena tors Are Recorded for Meas ure by Security League. The National Security League an nounces today that it has recorded in favor of universal military training 176 members of the House of Repre sentatives and 42 members of the Sen ate. The figures in the canvass which the League has been conducting stood 179 in the House of Representatives and 45 In the Senate In its last an nounceraent. These figures were re duced by the retirement from Congress of three New York representatives who were committed to universal military training viz, Congressmen Griffin, who was elected sheriff of Kings county ; Murray Hulbert, ap pointed dock commissioner by Mayor Hylan, and Congressman Bruckner, elected borough president of the Bronx. The advocates in the Senate were reduced by three by the death oi Senators Brady of Idaho, Newlands oi Nevada and Hughes of New Jersey.
