THI DISPATCH, IIXUGTCJ, V.'C, WEDXESDAT, PEC. II, 1918. AMERICA IX THE WAR. Greatest Military Achievement la His ! tory of the World What Wu " Done, When aad Hew. v " The following very interesting artl 'cle i clipped from a recent iasue of the Charlotte Observe?: ' The report that Secretary of War Baker sends to Congress tills year eovers the greatest military achieve- menta in the history of the world. It is a "gripping" story of American hustle and determination, and the running account of operations and ac tivities which the Secretary gives, da ting more particularly with the land ing of the first units of the American Expeditionary 'Force in France, in June, 1917, to the finish at Sedan, on the 'memorable November 11, Is ot a character to arouse the enthusiasm of the American people. This country was having trouble With Mexico when the German menace loomed up and the Army with -which it was equipped was scarcely able to cope with the situation on the Mexican border. It was knowledge ot this fact that made Germany feel easy and to eliminate the United States as a possible factor In the war. iBut before Germany had ' time to realize the fact, America was there with more than 2,000,000 men. With 19 months after this country had declared war with Germany, it had in France exactly 2,075,834 men and largely over 5,000.000 tons of supplies. Prom April 6, 1917, to November 11, 1918, the size of the American Army had been increased from 190,000 to 3.- 665,000 men. As many as 23,709,000 men responded to the draft calls, and it was out of these registrants that 3,441,000 soldiers were inducted into the service. North Carolina contribu ted 71,000, who ranked among the best In the lot. The story of the drafting and equip ping and training of these men and of their transportation across 3,000 miles of ocean, constittues the finest dem onstration of American efficiency that can be producd. Within a month after the declaration of war this country had sent its pioneer unit across. It embraced only 1.718 men. Next month, June, this was followed by the dis patch of 17,000 troops and marines. By the end of December this country had 187,916 troops and 7,579 marines In France. It was in March of the present year that the great German spring drive took place in PIcardy and that threatened to result in a German victory. And it was in that month that what Secretary Baker describes as "the miracle." took place. In April 117,205 troops and 1,432 marines were embarked: in May 244,344 troops and 1,606 marines went over, this being followed in June by 277,973 troops and 777 marines. The latter part of that month witnessed the million mark in embarkations. But War and Navy Departments were then only striking the pace. In July 306.185 troops were added to the Army in France and before the end of October the second million had sail ed from our shores. At the time the armistice was signed the United States had 2,045.169 troops and 30.665 ma rines in France fighting under Persh ing, with a string of transports going over, and training camps in all parts of the country holding their addition al thousands ni leash. Secretary Baker is justified, in the light of these marvelous accomplish ments, in making claim that "no troop movement such as that of the last summer has ever been contemplated and no movement of any such number of persons by water such a distance and in such a short time has ever oc curred. The performanec stands un ique In the world's history. Furthei more, this performance wrouirht a de cisive effect upon the world's history at one of its great critical junctures." Secretary Baker Is not unmindful of the extra-ordinary services volun teered the nation by the doctors. Up to July about 15 per cent of the civil ian medical profession of the United States had gone Into active duty as medical officers in the Army. The Secretary remarks the fact that "prob ably no working force has ever been organized which contained more dis tinguished men of a single profession" than went to the assistance of the government in the medical department. The Nation will Join in the Secretary's opinion that "no praise is too great for these men and their many brot-h- who freely gave themselves to their country in time of need, sacri ficing homes and positions that they might render their greatest service to the cause of democracy." In the same connection the Secre tary makes acknowledgment of the answer by the graduate nurses of the nation. It was none the less splendid than the doctors. Secretary Baker, In establishment of this fact, notes that when the armistice was signed "an adeqaute staff of nurses was on duty at every Army hospital in the United States. Eight thousand five , hundred and ten were on duty in Eu rope, 1,400 were mobilized and await ing transportation across, and 2.000 more were available for Immediate foreign service," The part they play- f V a uxcmi IMS iCE Can you doubt the evidence ot this Lexington citizen?

V. ed as heroic women is written into the history of the war. The public has heard but little of the services rendered by the engineers but the Secretary does not overlook the performances of that important branch. In building wharves and docks and railroads and warehouses and roads and bridges, in camouflag ing work, sound and flash ranging and searchlight operations, they have per formed wonders. They had built 16 ports in France and connected up these ports with the fighting front by 3,000 miles of standard railroad. They had paved the way for 80 divisions, and they had established ni France the greatest system of terminals and transportation facilities the world has known. The motor transport service, the air plane divisions, the signal corps, the quartermaster supplies department, the chemical warfare service, the gas defense, the construction department, tanks and tank corps, the forestry ser vice, artillery and infantry all the co-ordinated branches that went to make up the greatest military machine that has been perfected by any nation come in for appropriate record by the Secretary. One reading this story of how the United States raised, equipped, train ed and sent its Army to the front across the sea will the better be able to come into an appreciation of the turning of the tide of war, in July, this year, and of the irresistibleness of the force that operated to the turn ing of the tide. The story of "Ameri ca in the War" is the greatest story In military history.

The Washington correspondent ot the Greensboro Mews says: The United States government will undertake eventually to return to their homes tor burial the todies of all American soldiers now interred in France, but that this cannot be done until after the declaration ot peace, is information contained in a letter re ceived Hast week by Senator Simmons from Adjutant General Harris. Senator Simmons wrote the adju tant general that a North Carolina fa ther desired a passport to go to France and bring back the body ot his sol dier son who was killed in battle. Adjutant General Harris says this is impossible at this time, but he gives assurance that eventually American fathers antkmothers may hope for the return of their dead. The letter of the adjutant general of the army will concern every parent who has made a sacrifice of a son in of America shall test forever in the of merica shall rest forever in the soil of France or be returned to the native land is a question to which the war department has given sympathetic consideration. The present program of the department is outlined as fol lows by the adjutant general and will bring relief to thousands of bereaved American homes: "I beg to acknowledge receipt of your communication of iNovember -29, 1918, relative to a friend of yours whose son was killed in France and who desires to secure a passport to go to France to bring back the remains of his 3on to this country, and In re sponse thereto to Inform you that it is against the policy of the war depart ment to encourage travel to Europe at this time, and a passport would not be issued for the purpose mentioned in your letter. To undertake to con sider individual cases of this nature, would, it is thought result in confu sion and would Interfere with the gen eral plan already adopted. NO CONFUSION OVER IDENTITY. "The question of returning to the United States the bodies of soldiers who are killed or who die in foreign service, has been carefully considered by the war department dn conjunction with 1 the navy department, with the result that it has been decided that it is impracticable to undertake to re turn to this United States the remains of our soldiers, sailors, marines and civilian employes who are so unfortu nate as to meet death while abroad, until after the close of the war. The policy thus adopted is based upon a recommendation by the commanding general of our expeditionary forces, and the extreme difficulties of trans portation and shipping, and the fact that this also harmonizes with the policy of the British government in this matter. ''Arrangements have been made with the French government for the use of certain sections of the country as mil itary cemeteries, and organizations have been formed, known as graves registration units, charged with the duties of burial, care for the cemeter ies and preservation of the identifica tion records, so that there will be no confusion or doubt as to the identity when the time comes for transfer of the remains of our soldiers and sail ors to the United States, which will be done at government expense.

In line with its policy of removing as rapidly as possible any restrictions which are not absolutely necessary and which principally affect Individ ual consumers, State Food Adminis trator Henry A.

Labor Problems After the War. 'Before the Pan-American Labor Conference at Laredo, Texas, last week. Mr. Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation Federa tion of iLabor, served notice that after the war the laboring people of this country would not go back to old-time conditions and would not recede with out a struggle from the standards of pay and hours established by the war. Mr. Gompers is not a wild-eyed fan atic and does not belong to the crowd of extremists whose demands and plots rise in the mind of the average man as "socialistic." He was a pillar of strength to the Government during the war, and is so conservative that he is not in good standing with the ex treme elements of the country. When it is known that in England this type of labor leader was called into the counsels of the government and that British 'labor -was held to the task of the war by this element only on the understanding that the war would not result In a return of old-time con ditions, we may know that these words mean something. The effect of the statesmanlike and humane pro gram of the British labor party Is re flected In every speech which Lloyd- George makes concerning a Just peace. German propaganda was in tended to start a Bolshevik! move ment behind the lines in all the bel ligerent countries as it did tn Rus sia, but It failed owing to both the enlightenment of these governments and the statesmanlike demeanor of the real labor leaders like Gompers in America and others in England and France. 'Labor wanted to know wherher it was fighting for real free dom or merely for a retention of the old-time rivalries of militarism, crushing, crushing industrial systems, richer rich men and more and poorer poor men. When the history of the war is written its true meaning will be found to date largely from the time when labor began to ask questions In terms of world-wide peace and a bet ter world after the war. So, as Mr. Gompers says, the men and women who work with their hands will not be satisfied to work for a bare existence and a poor oned at that, as the bulk of tabor worked over the world before the war. La bor knows, and real statesmen know. that there is no necessity for this. no reason for It, and no righteousness or safety In it. Of course Mr. Gomp ers did not mean that the fantastic conditions which have existed In the rush of war work where men and boys worth five cents an hour were given fifty to seventy, should continue. He meant that In the re-estahllshment of peace conditions the old-time Jong hours and sbort pay and deadly work ing conditions, should never be re established. And they will not be, and should not be. Every human be ing who is willing to do his share of the -work Is entitled to decent and pro portionately equal returns, and those who do not work in some useful way are not entitled to live off the others. Monroe Journal. Loneliness of Ex-Kaiser. William Hobensollern wears a de jected appearance, according to the Telegraph's correspondent at Amer ongen, Holland, who says that be has talked "with someone who has come much In contact with the exile." This person Is quoted as follows: v The former emperor wore an alT of relief when he arrived at Ameron- gen but that soon vanished. Even his cheery wife cannot now rouse him from moodiness. The former empress is really something of a heroine and tries to make her husband try to look on the bright side of things but in vain. The distinguished fugitive has terror In his heart." Herr Hobensollern keeps more and more to himself and is constantly less inclined to go about The correspon dent says that his Informant took him to an unfrequented place from which an unshaded window la the cast la was risible. Pointing to the window the gentleman said: The former empe ror sits at that window writing as If against time, hour after hour, sheet after sheet, often all the forenoon and all the afternoon."

At Liege, Spa and Verriert one meets the same universal disgust and loathing of the Germans as. every where. One hears the same tales of looting, espionage and impositions, but the topic of all others to -which it is impossible to retrain from returning. Is the German treatment of prisoners especially the British. : . .... In all the black history of Ger many's conduct in this war, there is nothing viler than her treatment ot the sick prisoners In hospitals up to the time of. the armistice. I heard the same tale at several places but know the facts best as they occurred In INamur. Their treatment ot sick prisoners almost always was bad. Their diet consisted of tour ounces ot black bread a iday with coffee in the morning, rice soup at noon and a tea- spoonful of Jam every 48 hours. : Our doctor tells me every prisoner was suffering and still suffers from intes tinal troubles. All are emanciated and show evidence of negligence. The culminating crime was the last, when the Germans made no attempt to hand the hospitals over to any au thority or representative of the allies. They did not even inform the patients or civilians where they were going; they merely went away and left the patients alone. At Namur there were a dozen places used as hospitals, of the existence of which the civilians did not seem even to have been aware. The consequence was, the patients were left entirely to themselves. Into some hospitals the civilians penetrated the first day. Other .patients remained absolutely unvistted for 48 hours when, driven by hunger, some who cou'ld walk went out on the streets to seek food. Then only did the citi zens hear of the situation. AVhen they entered the hospital they found an almost Incredible state of affairs. In one institution six patients lay dead in their beds. There were 11 dead in the hospitals at Namur and 17 in one institution in Nlvelles. The condition was very filthy and evidences of neglect were loathsome. The pla ces were littered with dirty bandages and refuse, so the atmosphere was terrible and the suffering of the pa tients too dreadful for words. It was five days after the Germans left the hospitals before the first Brit ish medical officers arrived, and 10 days before there was anything like a proper supply of invalid food and medical necessaries. Meanwhile the residents of the town did everything possible. Many worked in the hospit tals regularly until the British took them over. An organization of which the Catholic fathers were at the head, did all possible to repair the German barbarity. Altogether there were 600 prisoners in the hospitals at Namur and 200 more arriving in the town ex hausted and became patients. Of all the accursed things the Germans have done In the war. I doubt if anything has been so truly damnable as this. LEMONS MAKE SKI WHITE, SOFT. CLEAR Make This Beauty Lotion for a Few Cents and See For Ion reel f.

Hamp ton, of Senator Simmons' office, that no definite understanding had been reached as to stops. He eaid the storr that Richmond had been selected as an airplane mall service station on the southern route Is Incorrect. He thinks that Richmond wMI undoubted ly be a station, and he feels certain that Charlotte win be another.
