BARD IX THE CITY GIVES - OUT CATCHY BIT OF VERSE EDISO.V DENIES BUILDING A GOVERN3IET MACHINE Local Applicant Fails to Land Job at $15 a Day. Replying to a, Wilmington man who had applied for a position with their plant in connection with the war ma chine that they are reported as con structing, the Thomas A. Edison Co.. Inc., of Orange,- N. J., disclaim any connection with any such project. The Wilmington man filed his appli cation with the company after reading a story in The Star, which was glean ed from the Dillon, (S. C.) Herald, to the effect that a young man of that city had entered the plant of the Edi son Co., to work on a war machine in process of construction, for which he was to receive a wage of $15 a day, board and clothes. The story also al leged that the applicant agreed to" re frain from communicating with the outside world for 11 months. The letter from the company fol lows: "With reference to your application for employment in connection with Government work, which it is alleged a manufacturer in Pittsburgh has in contemplation, it becomes necessary to inform you that' Mr. Maxwell has no knowledge of this work nor any con nection with it. Your misapprehen sion no doubt' results from the fact that a New York newspaper quoted ! Poem to the Destruction of Wilhelm Written Under IV on de Plume. A gentleman quite well known to many people in Wilmington, who trav els in and out frequently, dropped by The Star office last night and handed to the city editor the following catchy ! bit of verse apropos Bill Hohenzollern: Said Little Johnny Bull: "The Kaiser is mean. He's sinking my boats With his durned submarine. Can't somebody stop him Before it's too late? If they don't right soon I can see England's fate. Uncle Sam waved his hand! "Come on, boys of mine. It's time to put Prussia Back over the Rhine." Then up stepped ten million And joined the ranks quick. When Kaiser Bill heard it He got awful sick. They flew o'er the trenches Like great flocks of birds. They plowed up the ocean In sub. chaser herds. A million or two Marched up to Berlin; They knew what to do And just walked right in. The next time the Kaiser Gets spoiled for a fight. He'll surely be wiser And find out who's right. For small scfaps of paper He didn't give a damn, And that was the caper That riled Uncle Sam. HO. HEN. HOLLERIN. a hand in this not be satisfied includes every "All of us sometimes wonder Just what the Red Cross is doing these days as a result of the generosity of our people in both money and service." Here are a few things that it is doing: Wilmington is among those who are sending more than $100,000 worth of Red Cross supplies to Europe each month.

Conserving: Pots and Pans. (Copyright, 1917, by McClure News paper Syndicate.) Whether or not it is worth while for you to buy really good kitchen utensils depends very much on how you use them. If you are careless and thoughtless in the way you use them then the best thing you can do is to go no further than the five and ten cent store for. them. Buying cheap ly you will feel little compunction at having- to buy frequently. Under rough treatment an expensive pot or pan wears out as quickly as a cheap one It is only for the housewife who shows real intelligence in the use of her kitchen ware that it is worth while to get expensive objects. Then there is the greatest economy in buying the very best. Few housewives realize how many dishes are scraped to death by sharp knives. Porcelain and enamelware es pecially yield to the harp edge of a knife when It is used to scrape them. Nothing stronger than a brush or metallic dish cloth : ought ever to be used on the hottom of a good stew pan. Often if dishes are soaked prop erly they will need no scouring what ever. Every cooking dish should be soaked as soon as you are through using it. A frying pan or other dish in which grease has been used had best be wiped out with a wad of news paper and then soaked in hot water. If later you add a few grains of wash ing powder of some sort and agitate it by means of a brush a sink brush should always be reserved for clean ing kitchen utensils your frying pan will have yielded its grease coating Any dish that has contained milk egg of flour mixture should be soaked as soon as emptied with cold water Be sure to fill the dishes full of water when soaking them as otherwise there w 11 be a top ring around the dish that will be hard to clean. Always when a utensil has been rins ed, wash it in 'a dishp-an of hot soapy water, making sure to clean the out side as well as the inside. If you be gin by washing the outsides carefully you will have little trouble in going on that way. But if you have neg lected the outside of a utensil you may have trouble ever keeping its out side in good condition thereafter. All pots and pans, save those of aluminum are the Detter for a peri odic Doiling with washing soda solu tion. Fill a boiler with hot water and add several tablespoons of the wash ing soda and then put the utensils into this and let them ooil for twenty minutes. Rinse thoroughly with clear water before using again. Miss Mrs. Jake S. W. Joshua T Miss Bessie Toon, knitted squares; Mrs., J. V.

IF AMERICA AND HER ALLIES WIN THEN WHAT (Continued From Page Five), to the music of the war drum or learn ing boldness from the eagle that keeps him company above the storm clouds these all unite to form one compelling idea, and that idea, hurled into the Iron teeth of Germany, is our new dec laration of Independence and deliver ance saying, Thou shalt not pass! The peoples of the earth have seen a light. They shall know the truth and the truth shall make them free." "Professor Hugo Munsterberg, of Harvard University, tells in his Twenty-Five Years in America' of a visit made him by Helmholtz, the greatest German scholar of tne century. Says he. 'He was my guest. I tried to show him the. scientific institutes, took him to see Harvard's famous glass flowers, and led him from laboratory to labora tory; but when we sat quietly in my study, I poured out my heart. I told him that he must not think he had seen the true America. I told him that America is not a -place to be seen, and that it can be understood only by en tering with sympathy into the deeper invisible powers at tne bottom of the national soul; I spoke of the America which I had found, fie leaned back for a long while, then he looked at me with his marvelous great eyes, and said quietly, 'You have a great task before you if you want to reach the mind of Europe with that message." But that message had already reached some parts of Europe before 19174. and please God. when the House of Ho henzollerns. has gone down to the vile dust from which it sprung, that mes sage will reach the mass of the Ger man people and lift them up and give them hope. "If America and her allies win the dove of peace will tread with familiar foot upon the four corners of the earth. "There is something pathetic to me about the ancient story of the dove sent forth from the hand of Noah to see if place might be found on earth for the human family to alight once more. Once this dove returned', and then returned again, and at last flew home to the roof of the ark no more. Through the centuries that are pass ed mankind has been wishing for some guarantee of peace among a family of brothers, but have found it not. They have written their agree ments, but some called them scraps of paper. They have dedicated their tri bunal to peace, but blood-thirsty ones concealed their ferocious teeth behind masks of innocency. If the central powers win in this war the long hopes of civilization and of righteousness will go to pieces forever. But if America and her allies win Peace will be declared by an international tri bunal, disarmament will follow in part or in whole, while an international po lice power will stand ready at any mo ment to speak with authority and power to the hesitating and the belligerent. "Suchv a condition has been antici pated and declared by our own Presi dent, and it has been preached by our allieb, and now the prince of blood and iron has joined the chorus of those who sing it. It is the one point on which all contending nations already agree. This old planet of sin and suffering will not again see her sons led as dumb beasts to the slaughter, homes desecrated, altars thrown down and women and children crying in the streets for those who shall never come back. We shall always have our prob lems and our pains, out those inflicted by the God of War will not be among them, if America and her allies win. "If America and her allies win the flag that is yours and mine will be the symbol of unselfishness where'er the sun doth his successive journeys runj That flag already floats above all the territory that our posterity will need through the ages yet unborn. We are not in this fight for land. That flag i waves today over valleys that can produce in a single year enough grain to feed our children's children; over mines that will furnish coal and iron enough for uses for thousands of years; over mountains that hug with in their embrace metals sufficient to stock the laboratories of the world. We are not in this fight for gain. But wherever that flag flies it is a symbol of unselfishness, a guarante of protec tion to the weak, and the emblem of hope to the oppressed. "That piece of red, white and blue bunting means five thousands years of struggle upward. It is the full-blown flower of ages for fighting for liberty. It is the century plant of human hope in bloom. "Our flag stands for no race. It stands for men men of any blood who will come and live with tts under its pro tection. It is the only banner that means mankind. It is not th flag of our King it is the flag of ourselves. "Other flags mean a glorious past; our flag a glorious past and a still more glorious future. It is the flag of our, . fathers, and of our children yet unborn. It is the flag of tomor row. It stands for the open door of ambition and opportunity of equal rights to everyone beneath the hedow of its folds. "Our flag waves defiance at all the ghosts that have so long intimidated men; the ghost of monarchy, the ghost of aristocracy, the ghost of war and all their kind that still lay shadowy hands upon the life of Europe and Asia. Listen! They are playing 'The Star Spangled Banner." They have let loose Old Glory up here. Stand up! Bare your head, lift up your eyes and thank God that you live under that flag which means the redemption of the world. "Your flag and my flag. And how it flies today In your land and my land And half a world away! Rose-red and blood-red The stripes forever gleam; Snow-white and soul-white The good forefathers' dream; Sky-blue and true blue, with stars to gleam aright The gloried guidon of the day; a shel ter through the night. "Your flag and my flag! And, oh, how much it holds Your land and my land Secure wit'hin its folds! Your heart and my heart Beat quicker at its sight; Sun-kissed and wind-tossed Red and blue and white. The one flag the great flag the flag for me and you Glorifed all else beside th red and white and blue." LIST OF DELEGATES TO ATTEND IT. D. C. CONVENTION IN KINSTON The Corresponding Secretary Gives Out First Authentic Report.

On Saturday' night last, the sermon at the revival service of the Calvary Baptist church was preached by Rev. G. W. MoClanahan, pastor of St. Mat thews Lutheran church, on the text, "Seek Ye First the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness and All These Things Will Be Added Unto You." The Lutheran pastor preached a strong sermon on the text mentioned, and although the attendance was not hand, many attending having ex ency of the weatner, the impression made on those present was visibly deep, and gave evidence of a lasting impression. Last night the two sermons of the day were preached by the pastor, Rev. J. A. Sullivan. The series of revival services were concluded with the final sermon of the pastor. That the revival services have been productive of a genuine religious awakening was expressed on every hand, the ones attending having ex pressed themselves as being benefited by the services. Quite a few of the most prominent preachers of the town have added "their bit" to the revival meetings by preaching one time in the series, thus giving, as it was generally expressed,: a more real feeiing of church comradeship with all the denominations of the city. Following- the sermon by the pastor last night three members were given the ordinance 6f baptism. There are others to receive. the ordinance, two ad ditional members having been aided to the list yesterday. - via it nver Happen to You?
