That Is . . what this war is to be, so faf as Amer- ' t . . - . , - ica's armies are concerned. No man can justly be called. a cripple who In fair and. open competition with his fel i m lows is able to earn a' living- as good . . ; . as or better than he, did before he was wounded; and-Uncle Sam promises ex 1 aetly this ability to a very high per- - f centage of the men who in former wars ,.. would have been consideerd hopeless . wrecks. That he does not promise ig- ' Siorantly or vainly is proved by the - results already attained in France and 1, - - " England in the work 'of "re-educating" - the permanently injured. The war in surance bill provides the money and the machinery for this wonderful work. By the terms of this bill the United States not "merely insures that crip pled and blinded soldiers shall not ..' starve; it also insures. literally, that nine out of ten of them shall be re- j stored to their normal ability and earn- j mg capacity. The war may nave its killed, but Uncle Sam says it shall have no cripples in the usual meaning of -f the word. t " - - Vast Majority Benefits. , , It has long been known 'that soldier ing is- really beneficial to the great majority of those who engage in it. r The outdoor life, regular exercise, wholesome and abundant food, and training, in the care of the body confer lifelong benefits. Statistics show that ' ven this great war will benefit at ; " least 13 out of every 15 soldrers who ..reach the front not only physically but - ' also economically, for their physical ' superiority will undoubtedly win for them an economic superiority over . those who see no service in the field. The' other two out of fifteen seem to remain to pay the price. But they do not pay it as they have done in former - j ' wars. The government, by its system of insurance1 not pensions nor charity, ; but insurance, the premiums for which are paid by service agrees to provide -'- for the' families of nearly half of them (the half that pay the last great debt); and it further promises the other half that they shall be so re-educated that they will -be able to take an equal part and many of them a better part in the - life of the world than they Would have done if they had not gone to war at alL ' Instances drawn from the experience of the European powers are many. An aforetime laborer in, a steel mill. Cho has lot both legs, becomes a repairer of motor engines; a carpenter with one arm becomep a turner at double pay; a blinded blacksmith becomes, by the aid of an assistant, an expert on ventilat ing and heating; a blinded manager of a great grocery store becomes so much , more adept that he returns to Ms old . ; job and swiftly wins an increased sal - i iry.. And .here are thousands ore. Unele Sam , Ednrator. And this Is in France and England fwhere money for re-education is none ,-too plentiful and where the great ba ? jority of men are content to remain all their lives in the state to which they r- were born. In America, where money is plentiful and where every man is striving to better his condition, the re- suits wpl certainly, be greater by far. Wounded men, who in their younger days, were able to give only perhaps two hours daily to night school will, under Uncle Sam's new system, be able to give eight hours a day till they have learned their old trade again or have - - learned another to which they are bet-' ' ter adapted. .Many a round peg will ' be able to transfer out of the square -"'' hole in which he would otherwise have -spent his life. While the Injured men' are learning they will get their pay as soldiers the pay they were getting, when they were injured and their families will get the allowance that they had been V receiving. f. Both before and after this ,. period they will, of course, get the in surance to which they are entitled by the terms of the insurance act. . Concerning the capacity of the in jured men to learn a satisfactory trade ' there is no doubt. It has been, abun- dantly proved abroad that not. one in a "hundred is disqualified fronVlearning a -profitable vocation. - . - In re-educating the soldiers, as in everything else connected with the war, the United States .will profit by the earlier mistakes of its associates in the war. , - Jean Polln Was Skeptical. Some of these mistakes were seri ous but unavoidable. One of them arose . from lack of preparation and another from lack of explanation. Jean ' " Y.t1. l - . il . . never neara oi re-education unv - i til he had recovered about as well as . -f he ever would from the loss of his ; eyes. Jean had been an acrobat in a , circus end to him the future seemed - very dark. He could not go back to , his old trade, and he knew no other - ft did not dream that he could learn another. When the doctor asked him "what trade he wanted to learn he did : not understand. Later he was suspr- v : clous. He did not believe that, he - - could learn any of the trades that were ? suggested to him and he .was convinc- ed that somewhere and somehow a j ; string was tied to the offer. It took a ,long. time ana much' persuasion to in , . duce him even to indicate which trade ; e preferred. Theju when at last the i doctor began to believe that he was r won over, Jean suddenly turned crusty 'r - and refused absolutely to go any fur ' i tner with the matter. Moreover, 90 per cent of his mates in the hospital J1 the same thing on almost the same day. ' V .The hospital staff -could not under stand it. Later much later after a good many of Jean's friends had n. ; . force been discharged from the hos ..pifal, the staff discovered. the explana- tion: Jean and his mates thought that . ; they had found the string tied to the - ,. - i - u yvu. iearn a newJ r: , - trade they'll take away your pension," ir;-,- was the. whisper that had run like . ." wildfire through the wards. Even the most positive denials failed to coun H t teract its effect altogether, arid a good many European soldiers still refuse to j'Cv learn,' solely 'ftecause they fear to lose . their pension. -They have ho desire to ; lose one bone by snapping at its re :' -.flection in the water. . ; Jean, (however, . was- convinced in . . time; He learned to be a masseur j 3 j g . , -swuiioii, uviio ui uic nines nag yet athgK ' JS ?I?ISe,been some-'done, a follow-up Wstem. by which: if inl nnltf 1. m,?5f',7t .l.

V The -United States -wlli of course noTHER?s &cpcctanf others A PEETRATINC LINIMENT meet no such difficulty. Our soldiers will know all .about re-education long before they are wounded; and they will know that the insurance bill -specifically provides that a soldier shall suf fer no reduction -in his compensation because he learns to work in spite of a permanent" Injury. . They will - know that no person. who. had lost his hand, for instance, was ever reduced by Uncle Sam because he learned to write with the stump. .Thomas Hopkins suffered in another way. t Thomas was an anemic down-and-outer from the London slums when he .squeezed, or was squeezed Into the army. A year in the trenches built him up, and then a shrapnel mutilated his right arm so badly that it had to be taken off. Hopkins was in despair; gifted with some, ambition he had seen a way out of the slums, and now he seemed about to be forced back into them with an added handicap. He would have snapped at any chance to learn. , . But.the -system was not well organ ized in those days, and for weeks Hop kins had to sit around in a convales- cent hosDital nurslne his desDair until he had slipped back into his bid indo- lent wavs: his muscles had crown fee- ble and his joints and tendons stiff. It took him a long time to rouse his am bition again and still :longer to edu cate the sensitiveness or his stump and to teach him how to use it and how to ue some "of the 40 and more attach ments that have been devised for use on stumps. He did learn, however, and now runs a typesetting machine in a London newspaper office. , j Hopkins was wounden nearly two years ago. Nowadays he, and of course any American, would start re-educa tion at the very earliest possible mo ment. Nowadays, by the way, it has been found necessary to restrict the hours 'that a convalescent may work; or the great majority would overtax their strength. America's Advantage. - Americans have, one very great ad vantage over Europeans in that Amer ica makes the best artificial limbs in the world. No country in Europe can come anywhere near equalling them; and all European countries seem un able to buy them from American mak ers because they are almost compelled to patronize home .production. As .the European limbs are much heavier than the American, most of the European woundea wear them only for show and revert to stumps and peg legs when they go to work. . Another lesson that Europe has pass on is the necessity of teaching by in structors who are disabled in the same way as those, they teach: An instruc tor, with two perfect legs, for instance, can not possibly1 understand the de spair that crushes .'a legless man; whereas a leeiess tea-hcr hv ,;, ability inspires his pupils with hopti and hope is the basis of the whole work. This fact, so obvious when Jt is once suggested, was discovered by accident. Rose Le Blanc, who had lost both hands at the wrists by an explo sion in a munitions plant, applied to the orthopedic hospital for food when starving In the streets of Paris. At the table she showed such skill in using the stumps of her arms that the patients marveled and tried to imitate her. The rest followed naturally. This one girl, who thought her life finished, is now the best teacher for armless men in all France. She has re-created the liveB of hundreds. She and her wo men pupils (for there are not a few women victims of frightftrtness) and some of her men pupils learn to sew embroider, weave baskets and dress themselves, all without arms. Those who prefer more masculine work are shunted off, when once well started. to male instructors (also armless), who teach them carpentry .fore-e wnrt ag riculture, shoemaking and other trades Many former soldiers are now teach ers. The fact that they have been mrougn me mm is an enormous en couragement to the injured. So far as possible an injured man is allowed to choose which trade he will learn, but sometimes it has proved nec essary to persuade him to undertake another. The "vocation" teachers are men of long experience who can often Judge more . wisely than" the patient himself. For instance, some man may wish to learn a trade that is beyond his powers; and if he tries to learn it and fails he may become hopeless and refuse all education. And, of course the general condition of the labor mar ket must be taken into account, for on this depends the patient's chance for a job. Wide Choice of Job. J?? ;chice of work, however, is ,,? already m who have lost one or'both arms or legs are doing excel lent work at -photography, movie pro jecting, electric wiring, linotype oper ating, elevator running, baking taii t?5' d,?"nff. nd many other trades. wrftye, aho Blind men have also agreat range England all of them are taught to typewrite; and each, on leaving the school, is given a typewrite?, so that he can also attend -to. Vis correspond ence. , To typewrite - reVlly seems to come by nature nowadays. For a trade they may choose either massage, ma chinery, adjusting, net 'making, piano tuning, brush making, pottery, or any one of many. more. It takes six to : eight to ten months to teach a disabled man a trade, the actual time depending on his general Intelligence and on the extent of his disability. ; . L Uncle Sam -to Find Job. It is of course, of little avail to teach a disabled man a. ' trade -and then to turn him out to seek an employer. Em ployers are all "from Missouri" and hesitate to employ disabled men. Hence Uncle Sam. like his allies - win have to find jobs for his pupils and u aoie to guarantee tnat they can do their work. Some of these pupils, by the way, will be willing to work any where, some will work-only near their homes, and some will be -outrageously pernickety both as to location and em ployers.,. Uncle. Sam will try to satisfy them all. Moreover, he is planniner to his best to start him upward and on ward again. . - ' Bloodhounds for Ellberh City. - Elizabeth City, N. C, .

He added: "I am an Italian citizen. I was born in Berlin but was reared as an Italian." SOCIALIST LEADERS ATTACK . .POSITION OF MORRISS HILLQUITT . jNew York, Oct. 28.

He must know that, a peace today would save German mili tarism and achieve the destruction of the Russian revolution.

Editor Clarence Poe, of The Progressive Farmer, has a letter from Judge Jeter C. Pritchard expressing his great'anxlety for all the people of the State, white and colored, to. give their unqualified support to the government in f. this greatest crisis in history, and commending the tTT?ectors of the Farmers Union for their stand In support of the government and the Liberty bond sale. Judge Pritchard's appeal to-the-farmers through Editor Foe follow": "My dear Mr. Poe: "As you know. I am exceedingly anxious that aU the petople of North Carolina, both white and colored. should give their hearty and unquali- nea support to the' President of the United States in this erreatest crisis that has ever confronted the American people. "I was very much gratified to read the resolutions unanimously adopted by the Executive Committee of the State Farmers Union. While I am not elig ible to membership in that body", never theless 1 feel an abiding interest -in everything that pertains to their wel fare ,an dtheir devotion to the Gov ernment, at this time is exactly what I expected of them. . Nc class of people are more vitally interested in the out come of the waithan those who till the soil. The farmers of this country have; at all times, , bee nloyal, conservative and devoted to. their country and its4 inis is no' time for dissension or division. We must all, regardless of politics, religion or anything else, give the President and the country the best that is in us. I trust that the farm ers may see their way clear to invest in the Liberty bonds. North Carolina being largely an agricultural state, the bulk of our money is naturally in their hands, and while the majority of them will not be called upon to fight for their country, nevertheless it la just as much their patriotic duty to loan money to the Government or, rather, invest money in the Government's bonds as it would be ' their dut yto serve if they were subject to illtary service. "The purchase of Liberty bonds, while a patriotic duty, " insures an ab solutely safe investment, with a fair rate of interest, guaranteed by the honor and loyalty of all the people. The investment will stimulate econo my 'and thrift, thus strengthening the home and the farmer. From every point of view the call should appeal strongly to the farers of the country. "I hope that peace will soon come, but it should not come until the last vestige of militarism and everything that is connected with the inhuman methods employed by Germany and her allies to dominate the world by brute force is completely wipe dout. When we contemplate the fact that millions of God's people are being sacrificed to gratify the ambition - of those who see mto have lost sight of the fact that we are living in a Christ ian era, jthis government snould spare neither men nor money in its efforts to relieve those whose suffering at this time is well-nigh intolerable. "With best wishes, I am, "Sincerely yours, (Signed) "J; C. PRITCHARD." 10 OUT OF EVERY l.OOO. The Losses In ' War Average About T-hl Flamre. As they figure It out now, the high est proportion of deaths in the war sho w losses due to deaths from wounds and killed in action to be ap proximately 11 In every thousand of mobilized strength. According to the figures presented, by the trench high commissioner In his letter to Secretary df War Baker the high water mark of casualties in the French army was reached early in the war at the battles of Charlerel and the marne. Th casualties In that period were 5.41 per cent of the mobil ize dstrength, or 541 men in every 10, 000 with the colors. ' Military experts in this country agree that the killed in actio nand died of wounds have never at any time Ih, this war exceeded 20 per cent of tne total casualties. This gives a figure of 108.2 fatalities from these causes in every 10,000 mobilized strength, or practically 11 .men killed in action or died ot wounds for every 1,000 men with the colors.
