' ', - , While New Hanover Is Mf tor democracy," Mr. Cooper says, "it- Is verv important that we polish full v0te in order to pile up a majority for Senator SimmOhS and th state t'eket, as a much larger republi can vote will be cast in th West ern part of the state than in the eastern.' From State Chairman Warren State Chairman T. D. Warren has wired Chairman Cooper aft follows: The vital importance Of getting out our full vote Tuesday cannot be overestimated. The vicious scheme of Roosevelt and his fol lowers to discredit President Wil son at this great world crisis iould receive an overwhelming re-" buke at the hands of" North Cafo- J Una democrats. Thoroughly organ ize your county for victory and j-ave active men on duty. in each precinct. Organize automobiles and put working democrats in charge for service on election day. Plans should be arranged in advance for energetic and concentrated action. The president's patriotic " appeal to his fellow countryman must not be ignored." From tlie National Chairman. Acrinr Chairman Cummings of the democratic national committee, !i?s v.-ired Chairman Cooper as fol lows: Be on guard to the finish. our Sent is won if you do your utmost. Every administration ' supporter should aid on Tuesday in sending democrats to the senate and house. Watch every development and "get out our vote. Everything depends upon your continued vigilance. We count absolutely Upon you." Tomorrow is the date for the "great biennial event wherein the people f the United States will say who shall rule over them through the house and senate of the nation, during the com ing two years. In this state, also, and in most of the other states of the unioi. state elections will be held, and county officers will be passed , upon. The law says the ballot boxes shall be opened at sunrise, which will beat 6:-"4 o'clock; and closed at sunset, which will be at 5:16 o'clock. In North Carolina ten congressmen wili be elected and one senator; a few state and judicial officers . and all county officers. There is vigorous re publican opposition to democratic re presentatives in the Third, Fifth, Eighth. Ninth and Tenth congressional districts, with chances favoring ihe democratic candidates in all but the Tenth, where the greatest element of rfnuht always prevails In elections.; but Alices from democratic sources de-c!re- Congressman Weaver will de test ex-Congressman Britt by a de cisive majority. If so, the outlook is tnat North Carolina will continue to nave a solid democratic representation in the house. Senator F. M. SimmOns W'H be returned to the senate for a fourth term by a large majority. John I. iiorehead is his republican oppo nent. bHt republican ambitions shOOt ko higher than the hope that they rcay hold down the democratic ma jority for future reference.

Lieut; Hargrove BellamyIon ofilr. ahd Mrs. Robert Bellamy, 509 Mar ket street, who was reported missing in action- September 29, is safe 1 ft the American lines, according to unofficial bytreliable information received by M. Bellamy, yesterday. As was the as sumption from Unofficial Informatiftn at hand Saturday night, Lieutenant Bellamy was . taken prisoner, but suc fceeded in Jjasalhg Through the German pines back to those of his company, and 10 sarety. The news of the lieutenant came in a letter received a few days ago by Mr, and Mrs. A. o. Thigpen, or Warsaw, from their son, Corpl. Thomas Thig pen. W. H. Iand, , 313 Grace street, a relative of Mr. and Mrs. Thigpen, vis ited them Saturday- and read the letter from Corporal Thigpen and brought the news to Wilmington. According to the letter. Lieutenant Bellamy and Corporal Thigpen were taken prisoners suppos edly on September 29, as this wast, the last, time any of his company' remem bered seeing hijrn. They succeeded in getting through the German lines anfa back tq the American trenches. Both were wounded, but Corporal Thigpen said he was all right and would be able to return to the front in a few days. Lieutenant Bellamy, however, suffered the loss of an arm, and he will not again see acticve service at the front. Both were getting along nicely at the time the letter was written, In his letter he said that he could give no de tails of the escepe, but would tell all about it When he gets home. A go&d deal of the letter had been CVt out by the censor Air. Hand stated. .In the meantime Mr. Bellamy yes terday exhausted every effffort to get some official news of his son, but was unable to So so. However, heis con vinced that the news contained in Cor poral Thigpen's letter is authentic, as he knows the young man as well as his- brother, Robert A. Thigpen, who is also at the front in France, and both pos sess a very fine character. Regardless of any unofficial news that may reach him, Mr. Bellamy will continue his efforts to get newsof his son through official channels. . WljLMINGTOJPS WAY.

USED FIFTY YEARS FOR RHEUMATISM . , AT ALL DRUGGISTS , ? - THE MORNING STAB, DR; STILES RETURNS FROM STATE CAPITAL Here to Wind Up Finances of the Epidemic After Straightening Omt Affairs He Will GO to Aaffnsta For Brief Stayw. ISxfreetS to Open Up Marine Hospital Shortly. , Dr Charles W. Stiles, Who is so pleasantly remembered in Wilmington for the excellent ipanner in yhich he handled the, Spanish influenza epi demic here a few. weeks ago, haft ar rived i nthe city from Raleigh where he has been Tor the past few . weeks, directing epidemic work throughout tlie state, and will remain here for a week and possibly two, -then going to Augusta. Ga., to finish Up his work there and return to Wilmington to convert the marine hospital into a large government laboratory where he will be in charge of special research work for the United States public health service, with which he has been prominently connected for-a number of years. s ' . Dr. Stiles shae been working in con junction with Dr. W. S. Rankin, state healthy officer, ' in combating the state wide epidemic and upon his i rival here yesterday he stated that the epi demic, has reached such a stage how that the work can be carried on to better advantage by dividing it. Dr. Stiles has taken over the financial end while Dr. Rankin will look after the field work. This work can be done as well in one part Of the state as an other so Dr. Stiles decided to return to Wilmington to be with his family, who have been stopping at the Orton hotel. He will get all the accounts in cident to the epidemic straightened out and will then arrange for the be ginning of his research work, at the marine hospital, but will not actually beirift work there until aftwr he returns frbm Aufeusta. Ther ara -tiU a few ' patients at the hospital ajid Dr. Stiles states -that he will not "begin convert ing the building into a laboratory un til the last of theae has been discharg ed. Dr. Stiles arrived in Wilmington on a Sunday morning during the latter part of September. He had his family with him and was enroutS to Augusta to wind up the business that he is go ing to attend to when he finishes with the .epidemic work. He was to leave his family here and return about the 15th of October to begin his experi mental work. However, when he reach ed Wilmington he found the city in the throes of. the Worst scourge that has been experienced here tn a generation and he was pressed into service local ly, for a few days, until he received orders from Washington to take charge of the epidemic throughout the state. Dr.. StileS stated that .the- eastern part of the state- was about 'free of epidemic Saturday,-but there were still & few "high spots" in the west; but the condition, he Said, was not at all alarming, and generally speaking, the epidemic is on the wane, all over the state. There will continue to be cases Of influensa'ahd of pnuemonia all the winter, he said, with occasional deaths. This is to be expected. This is 'Dr. Stiles' first visit to his family, who have remained in Wilming ton, since he left for Raleigh on the afternoon of .October 14. UNITED LUTHERAN CHURCH. AH Branches of Denomination to he Woven Into One Organisation. As a result of the celebration Of the ouadricentennial of the Reformation, a united Lutheran church will be organis ed beginning the 14th, when represen tatives of more than three Quarters of a million confirmed Lutherans will gather in New York. The Lutheran Church is a very old one in this country, dating back to 1619 in Canada, 1639 In Pennsylvania, and 1643. in Manhattan, but' its mem bers are of such a liberty-loving and congregational type, and their original blood has come from so many European nationalities, that they have been slow to see the merits of centralized organi zation. Their first synod was organized in 1748,. and new synods have been form ing rapidly ever Since. A synod rep resents the congregations of state br part of a state.. In New York an New Jersey there are three synods that will enter, the United Lutheran church. In Pennsylvania there are five or six, and so on. A general body covering the , United states was org anised in isSO, another in 1867, and a third in 1886. These are the three general bodies now coming together. Eor the last year and a half, they have been carefully preparing for the coming merger, and this month will see forty-three synods of the United States and Canada come together Every one o fthe synods, and the three general bodies, the general council Of the Evangelical Lutheran church in toorth America, the general synod of the Lutheran church in the United States? and the united synod of the Evangelical Lutheran church in the south, have voted" singly and rseverally in favor of this move. A joint ways and means committee has been at.vwork for over a year in preparing the legal and other details for the son solidation. The committee" has secured legis lative enactment at Albany of amend ments to the New York religious cor porations law." favorable to churches of all denominations, and Will probably take out S' charter in the state of New YQrk on November 14th under that act. Dlfen IN BROOKLYN. Former Wllmlnsrton , Resident Sue cumbs to Stroke of Paralysis. News received here yesterday morn ing c'on veyed ' the sad news of the death, .at her "home in Brooklyn, . N. Y., of Mrs. Anna Hubert, , widow of C. Hubert, who passed away at 9 o'clock following a stroke of paralysis about a week ago. She was 76 years of age and "was a former resident of Wilming ton, and is pleasantly remembered here by older Citizens. " . - The deceased was the mother of Henry M. Bremer, Of this city, who left here for her bedside last Tuesday, in. response to a telegram announcing herl serious condition. He remained with her through her . brief illhess and dl8- ' patched the- telegram which brought the news. oi per. aeaia j - Surviving the 'deceased, in addition j to Mr. Bremer, are- one son, William ' Bremer, and one daughter.

Work. - Didn't Attempt to Tell of Atrocities of . Germans But UklA Bhfe '-the Good news of the Anterieau Soldier Tells of Work Abroad. ' Ignoring altogether the atrocities and -cruelties perpetrated by the GCr mans and confining his remarks to thO humane side of the American soldier, Arthur H. Zink arpminent business man of Buffalo,. N. Y.;-who gave up his private business to go overseas as, a Y. M. c. A. secretary, yesterday morning delivered one of the most .gripping talks yet made in Wilmington. He spoke in the interest- of united Was work campaign, dealing with the Y. M. C. A. phase of the issue. The addrtsS was delivered at, the First Baptiit church, it being' substituted for th regular morning Service. " Mr. Kink made it-plain at the outset that he was not going to .dwell on the atrocities of the', Germans- bUtv Was go ing to talk about the American "boys" and theN Y. M. C. A. He first explained how he got into the work. About a year ago a call was made for a large number of men eligible for Y.iM. C. A. secretaryship. He felt that if was his duty to volunteer. He called his busi ness associates together, told them' he felt it his duty to go over and do what he could, and within 12 hours .after he had made up his mind to enter the ser vice he-was in New York, and 12 hours later he was aboard a tronsport en route to some place over there. Arriving at headquarters in Paris he was assigned to a small town, the name not being given, and upon his arrival there he was assigned a hut, which waft one end of a horse stable. He had no experience Whatever in this work, but he had a duty tp perform and he Per formed it. The boys Over, there, he Said, regard the Y. M. -C. A. huts as homes more than anything else. There they can mingle with one another in a way that is dif ferent from the mingling in camps and at the front; there they can ,read, write ifee folks back home and do many other, things that are excellent diversion for the men, all of which are th addition tothe 'religious services Yhich evSry one attends. " r How the men spend their .Sundays was interestingly related. At 8 o'clock in the morning mass is held for the Catholics; from 9 to- 10:30 baseball game; 10:So to 12, religious services; 2 to 4, boxing matfehea; 4 to 6, religious services. The men will go from a ball game to a religious service and then from this service to sonte form of sport. Mr. Zink considers that the ball-games, boxing matches, etc., are as essential ly a part of the observance v of ? the Sabbath as are. religious servtees. The men come fro mthe front tired and fa tigued and the au games, mingled with the religious service, work won ders oh them." .j. It is .no common sight, the speaker stated, to see nine offiders and nine privates lined up against one' another in a game Of baseball, each fighting with all his might to defeat the other. But when the game is over, military discipline automatically returns and the men 'do not attempt to take advant age of the privileges accorded them. Mr. Zink stated that it is impossible to overestimate the goodfteeB of the American soldier; taken from all walks of life a il surrounded with many a temptation, they, at all times', show that there is a natural instinct in them for things religious. During the week prayer meeting is held four nights and the men are instructed to keep all th sport attractions going end those who prefer sport to religious services are told to remain at the ringside. They have their choice of selecting' their own diversion and none go to prayer meeting because there is nothing else to occupy his time, it being a matter of choice. Notwithstanding, Mr. Zink &Md, ,he had from 460 up to attend his prayer Services each week. They have a natural trend to things religious, ht said, and just naturally enjoy attfthd ing the services, where they can have religion talked to them in a business way. After attending a few of thes services, he stated, none of the men will hesitate to offer a pr&yer in pub lic when called upon. And what im pressed him most was that every time one asked divine blessings, they were more for the folks back home than for those over there. They are always thinking of the ones' they left behind and are concerned fo their safety. It the American people on this side will only imbue themselves with the spirit that the Americans at the front are filled with, Mr. Zink said, everything will end all right. . 1 The speaker told of one instance that was very striking, "The Sammies are" good,' he said, "and they will giv the French children anything they haveV' The French children, are . very fond of the chocolates and other sweets the soldidrs have and the latter, take pride in dividing with them. On on occa sion several men saw a couple of lit tle children inthe street of a town that had been under German bombard ment. .They gave them several pieces of candy and noticed' they did not eat it, but instead carried it into a partly wrecked home, , The soldiers followed them and found the children had car ried it to their mother, who was Con fined in the building with two smaller children. Searching abot the house' they found the body of a baby who had died the night before. Without re porting to their officers, the. men. made up funds Sufficient to give the child, a ChfifetlKn burial, arid for the woman and children to subsist on until ' other aid could be given, them. The hardships' the men are forced.tO go through WJh are many and sever but in spite of them they are always in the best, Of humor and, while they never attempt to, take advantage - of their officers,, they will play innocent pranks on, thsm at every opportunity.

BATTLE'S AWFOLNESS TOLD BY A FIGHTER Capt Cantwell Describes llreak in& of "Hindy!s Line. Men Went Over Top in the Face of Certain, Death and FJrht Like Dessons Alter They Had Been BhotHalf to Flteea. "It has been a6ut a week" since I wrote you but you have no idea what I . have been through since my last letter" is the wy Capt. Paul L. Caatwelj, of an infantry company, 130th division of the American forces in France, begins a letter to his wife in this city describing the awfulnSss connected t with the offensive by r the Americans and Australians which started September 27 and resulted in the breaking aof the famous Hinden burg line north of St, Quentin. "I Was in the hospital and heard that our division was going into the big show to smash the Hindenbuxg line north of St. Quentin," the letter continues, "so 1 begged my Way out of- the hospital on the 2?th of Sep tember and started up the line t- my company, but didn't reach thera in time to go over the top With them as they went over early in the morning of the 27th and I didn't reach them un til the afternoon, but I had a plenty of it after that. I went over with the Australians, who advanced behind us after we had gone through the famous HihdCntHtrg line and haU es tablished t0Uf selves about 4,000, yards in the rear of it. "We killed and -captured boChes un til we got siCk of doing -it. t Wish I could describe it but I can't; you can look back In the newspapers of Octo ber 1st and 2nd, or about those dates and read of the fighting between St. Quentin and Cambrai and know that wo were in it and that we broke the famous German defense which has been tried and failed so many times before, you may see some mention of the town of Beliicourt, that is where our regiment was. I have a souvenir of the place and win send it to yOu some day soon. Those things that X send back are the only tro phies that 1 have, so please take care of them and I can tell you all about them when 1 get home. "They say that this battle was the greatest thing that has ever been on the western front. It started with the greatest artillery barrage that has ever been used, then the infan try and tanks went over. From than on it was Wonderful to see what men Can endure and go through With. lost very few men in getting to the German line, but then is when the awful sights started. I saw; meft half tern to pieces keep on fighting likS demons until they fell exhausted from the less of blood. On Our im mediate front t am sure we killed three to . their oae, besides the pris oners We took. They cannot help but know by this time that Americans Will fight. "The Australians, who were be hind us and went forward after wfe had broken the line, are the best sol diers I have ever seen, and it was a sight I never will forget to tee thosC brave fellows go forward into what looked like certain death to all of them. They broke through, too, and ffom last reports were still going forward. A- "We were relieved after two days and are now back in a rest camp. 1 lam all broken down again and am going back to the hospital tomorrow." CO-OPERATIVE ADVERTIStN'G.

There Were only 65 arrestB made for all offenses dUHhg the mouth, Which, it is stated at police headquar ters, is the smallest month's "business" in many a day, But it wasn't that the "Cops" were asleep on the job that no more arrests were made, but because the mfiuehza epidemic put a "Crimp" in lawlessness along with every . other kind of business in the city. - As usual, crap shooting, larceny and disorderly conduct are the charges that were most common during the month, and m each the number of colored de fendants were in thC' majority. There were five Whites charged with disor derly conduct ahd; 12 colored; only one white persons was arrested for larceny, while ten colored answered to this charge; for gambling five white per sons were arrested and, an even dozen negroes, The report follows: Ne- Charge.
