Tuesday's mayoralty battle is evidence ef that fact. When the great Red Cross Fund was being: raised, New Bern did not do .its full duty. Now there is chanco for us to redeem ourselves. Let's raise that $6,50') Y. M. C. fund in a jiffy. To offer peace to Belgium ii another "thoughful" Germai; stroke. It is very thoughful, when you come to think of the way in which the German forc es are falling back in Flanders, before the powerful ihrusts of the Anglo-French combination. And it is still more thoughful when you read that American soldiers are now in the trenches on the western front. A little patience and Belgium will be freed by just such methods as the Allies are now employing in restoring portions of the coun try. These methods were terse ly described, recently, by an Ir ishman who had just returned from the trenches. He was tell ing of the elaborate German dug-1 outs, when, someone interrupted to ask: "But how do the British build their dugouts?" "They don't build them", he replied, "they take 'em." BUSINESS-LIKE ALDERMAN The contention of Alderman Kafer and his final victory in having the Board of Aldermen to recognize the, seriousness of ' he matter in noi providing ade quate water supply to fight fires in Pavie town can be classed as one act of sound business judg ment.

Alderman Kafer also display ed good foresight when he a mended a motion to make the salary of the sanitary officer $60 per month instead of placing this office on a higher scale than the policemen were getting. Conservatism counts in the conduct of the city's affairs. changes in the near future, all of a highly incarnadine charac ter, a riot of red. If Germany had not have ex hibited such intense bitterness toward the civilized world in her methods of conducting the war there possibly might be a means of adjustment with the Entpire left intact, but under no condi tion would it now be done. Germany may possibly be able to make peace, but the fangs of concentrated autocracy must be drawn before any conditions will be thought of by the allied powers. No Democracy in Germany. Happy is the man these days hat sitteth by a red stove. BSSHnKt 4 , 4 - I asked a man yesterday what he thought of this woman suffrage in New York and he told me he thought it was awful how, not only the wo men were suffering, but the children, especially in Belgium. This was enough, I drove on. I feel it my duty to tell about 3ome thing that I observed yesterday. I was standing on the corner of Middle and Pollock streets, and the wind was blowing at a forty mile clip no that is not what I was goingj to tell you about. Listen I wasj down town in a business house, no it wasn't a business house at all. It was a place where they put on five, cents for the government and you have no choice about paying it. There are men and women working there, and what I am to tell is no "reflection" on anyone, except just one person. Now this reflection is not on the social standing of the person, but just a sim ple reflection on just one person. She no he, no it, sits at a dressing table, no addressing table and does a bit for a few bits, and while it works it is continually reminded that it is pres ent with it, and the "reflection" refer to is none other than one pro duced by a perfectly good mirror,. No, I am not ?oing to tell you where it is or who it is, so just wonder. NATIONAL PRESS MEETING THE NEEDS Mayor Clark's speech in re commending some consideration for an increase in the salary of the street hands deserves com mendation of the highest order. Being connected with a family that was noted for oratory May or Clark has all the makings of a gifted speaker. Basing his argument upon the high cost of living and efficiency in the duties assigned them as the city's employees, his mes sage cannot in any way be con sidered as a boquet to the voters in time to comeit was an incen tive from a human stand point with the business interests of the city as a back ground. One dollar and seventy-five cents per day is a mighty small salary for a laborer these days, especially" should he have a fam ily that is depending upon him for daily sustenance and neces sary provisions that are produc tive of health. The Board of Aldermen should consider these men and adopt the suggestions as outlined by Mayor Clark. NO DEMOCRACY IN GER MANY Germany has a peachuva De mocracy, hasn't she? Just chang ed hands in five days. Slid over the fence easy. Let us tell you something, the present Kaiser Bill's hide 'will hang high on a leather jack with the hair side out before you can reasonably expect much of a change in the form of the Ger man srovernment. It is decidedly enchanting to rule by divine right, a right the House of Hohenzollern claims an exclusive patent upon. Before material change comes, one may perhaps look for a general tflroat cutting. The inner circles that have been figuring on the change have not neglected to whet their knives.

Italy seems the United States could aid her more effectively by declaring war on Austria-Hungary.

' DESCRIPTION OF VISIT TOFHT T Interesting Experience Told By One Who has Been Over There Meatless days are good for your rheumatism, the shortness of sugar has a good effect on your kidneys, and the diminished coal supply works a gainst the overheating of houses and consequent colds. If the war lasts long enough, we shall be a healthy people. Cleveland Plain Dealer. Secretary Daniels has been saying some nice things about the marines. In view of the way he has been sland ered and abused, it's surprising that there's any milk of human kindness (Philadelphia Record) A visit to the front line trenches of the French army, within 25 yards of the German front, is graphically described in letter which John Mc Neill, of West Rittenhouse Street Germantown, has received from his son, Joseph McNeil, who is in the French hospital service. The letter reads as follows: "Right up to the very front line we went, two of us, led by a French corporal. In silence we walked through the trenches, which, like all trenches, twisted and zigzagged, stoping lest some part of us sKow above the mounds of earth the silence, of it all uncanny, myste rious. One knew there were men all around, but one felt so very much alone. Off in the distance, toward the north, was a German observation balloon, and we felt hostile eyes were upon us constantly, as we ducked through trench after trench. And finally up to the front, where Mon Corporal greeted us with a handshake and a whispered remark to the soldier on duty. A little compartment all to himself he had, of four walls of earth and bags filled with sand, the four walls pierced only in two places the trench by which we entered and a sort of porthole through which we looked over land unclaimed No Man's Land all of it nothing but pile after pile of earth and on every mound a huge roll of twisted, spead-out wire, in wild disorder. In a guarded whis per, so low they could scarecly hear us, we asked if this .were really the first line and a shake of the head in affirmation, assured us it war. "And how far away is the German line?' 'Twenty-five yards', was the reply I fell to thinking as I looked through the hole toward the Germans. I thought of our front yard 20 yards across, isn't it? A minute to cross it, maybe less. And yet if I were even so much as to put my head up over the wall of sandbags, well, I solently wished it were all over, when No Man's Land would be plowed a- gain by plows and not by shells." left in Mr. Daniels.

Fred Adams, a private of the 350th infan try, is looking forward with regret to the day when he will be discharged from the services of the United States. He is a German by birth, and just two days before h was called to the colors in the draft received his first naturalization papers. However, he has been adjudged an alien under the terms of the law by officials of the war department and has been ordered discharged. He spent two years in the German army. When the men in camp were solicit ing for Liberty bonds, Fritz listened and then shouted: "Boys, I won't be with you here long, I want to dig in with the rest. Lieutenant, put me down for a $100 bond. Here's the money. IF F Bridgeton People Endorse Can didacy of Their Townsman. T. W. Holton has been faithful and conscientious in his efforts to dis charge his full duty as county com missioner in both the appointive and elective terms of that office to which his, fellow citizens have honored him, and for which he feels deep and enduring gratitude. He is now coming before the people once more asking them to carefully look into his official record upon which he bases his claims for public confidence and trust and asks their support by ballot for election to the high office of sheriff of Craven county. He would hesitate to refer to his candi dacy, ci to assume so much upon the priviliges of the ballot to refer to himself in his announcement as "the next sheriff of Craven county" yet he feels greatly gratified at the as surance of support and the kind ex pressions of appreciation received for the discharge of the duties entrusted to him in the past.
