GREAT COLLECTION BELGIAN BELIEF GARMENTS IS MADE , Atlanta, Nov. 3. One of the most successful campaigns ever conducted ,by the Red Cross was that for a col lection of Belgian refugee garments. The response to the appeal for these garments have been almost unprece dented in the history of Red Cross un- dertakings. The people of America out of their abundance' have surely listened to the tale of Belgian need and It is indeed gratifying to Red Cross workers who have encouraged this work to be able to read the fol lowing words of appreciation from A. Arrowsmith, manager of the clothing campaign for the Belgian relief com mittee: He says: . "The; result of the Red Cross assist ance are overwhelming. The large majority of chapters report receipts beyond their assigned quota and the clothing, is' being received in such quantities that we are working until ten o'clock each night, even to take It in. Today I have been "obliged to lease another building to accommodate the flood, it is a remarkable mani fetation." , . It is safe to add that not a single FINE FOB MB!

RED CROSS HAS ENROLLED 3O.00O NURSES FOR SERVICE Washington, No. 3. In a report just issued the American Red Cross war council states that 30,000 nurses have been enrolled by the department of nursing of the Red Cross to October 1. More than 17,000 of these are ser ving soldiers arta sailors, half of this number already being on duty over seas. About 16,000 of those in service with our forces here and abroad are with the army. Seven hundred nurses, wo men, have been assigned to the fed eral public health bureau or to the Red Cross service in the United States and the remaining 12,000 include those not available or eligible for active ser vice, but who may be utilized for home defense work. About 9,000 additional nurses will be needed by the army alone before the first of the year, according to the re port. Should the war continue on its present scale, it is estimated that the total number of nurses required in the military hospitals here and abroad by next July will be 56,000. These esti mates, the report states, are based on and army of 3,000,000 and a navy of 350,000. or approximately one nurse to each 74 of the military and naval pop ulation. To meet the nursing requirements of the coming year a campaign will soon be inaugurated in which each state will receive an allotment, a duplication of the plan by which thousands of nurses were enrolled during the past summer. The department of nursing of the Red Cross is the reserve for the army and navy nurse corps. The Red Cross has spent about $850,000 in equipping nurses assigned to duty abroad. Approximately $1,500, 000 of an appropriation of $1,719,357 has been expended in equipping base hospital units. The organization has equipped 50 of these units and assisted the army nurse corps in organizing two others for the army since our en trance into the war. For the navy it has organized or is completing the organization of eight base hospital and seventeen naval sta tion hospital units. Each base hospital unit has 500 beds and 60 nurses. Orig inally planned to cost about $35,000 they now cost about $50,000. In addi tion to its war service the Red Cross department of nursing is continuing its regular health work in this country. It is supplying nurses at points where contagious diseases appear to be mak ing headway, its most recent activity along this line being its effort to com bat the -spread of, Spanish influenza.

(Correspondences There are 17,000 Austrian and German prisoners In Siberian, camps, says a semi-official announcement. " Besides many who deserted the concentration camps when the Bolsheviki gained the political control In Russia. have not re turned. It is said to be certain that the ma jority of the prisoners in these places participated in the, battles wjth the Bolshviki against the allied forces and the Czechs, and returned to their camps when they found;" themselves i beaten. They are now.-assuming an. uncertain, attitude toward the allied campaign, in SiberrU." - ti -'., - ,r 1 ' isiii ALL EQUAL OPPORTUNITY Doctrine of Religious Equality Is Expounded. "God Makei no Discrimination Be tween Hebrew and Greek; ' All Men May Seek Salvation, Mr. Plyler Declare. "There is equal opportunity "before the throne of. God : or i"everv son of Adam," declared Rev. -M. ' T. ;' Playler, pastor of Grace Methodist church, in his discussion last : night of ' the re ligious equality of all races. ' Quoting Paul's words in his letter to the Ro mans "There is no ' difference between the Hebrew and, the Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich unto all, 1 Mr. Plyler stated that every race whether Jew, Gentile, Caucasian. In dian or otherwise, has an equal right to salvation of the soul. "Man is no longer provincial, he is beginning to think in world terms," Mr. Plyler continued. "The newspa per, the international questions that have a real democracy in our religion, ing with other nations as our allies on the battle front, have goven the American a broader outlook and the day has come when the narrow re ligious views of the past will no longer be tolerated. The time is here when the belief should prevail that there is equal , religious opportunities fpr all who will call upon the Lord. Equality is a requisite of democracy, so let us have a real democracy i aour religion, the kind of democracy our soldiers atre fighting for. "God is rich unto all who call upon him in their distress. He discrimi nates against none. His gospel of salvation uplifts and elevates all men alike. It has given childhood its place of sacredness, uplifted womanhood and made womanhool purer and sweeter. Christianity has revolutionized civili zation. He is an even present aid in times of trouble to every man." In his sermon at the morning hour of service yesterday, Mr. Plyler touch ed upon some of the unusual events transpiring during the month of Octo ber. Three of the most important things in history occurred in this month, the discovery of America by Columbus 426 years ago; the religious Reformation 401-years ago, and the sur render of Turkey three days ago. The two events last named both fell on October 31. These three events, Mr. Plyler stated, mean more for the freedom of he world and for the religious freedom of races than any other great happen ings the world has witnessed. ' The dis covery of America was the beginning of the freedom of civilization, the nail ing of Martin Luther's theses to the church door of Wittenburg was the first move in religious freedom of thought and action, and the fall of Turkey will remove the heel of op pression from the necks of down trodden races under her dominion. NEWS OF THE SOLDIERS. W. A. Fink of Mullins, S. C, has re ceived a message that hjs son, W. C. Frink, had been gassed in . battle in France, and that he had been sent to a hospital in England, but no particu lars are given. Friends of Mr. Frink and of the young soldier will hope thatwhen particulars are repeived, ft will be found that the soldier wasn't seriously injured. Sergt. Lee Roy Harris, 20th Comp any, 2nd M. M. regiment, formerly of Wilmington, but whose family now lives in Wilson, writes relatives under date of October 5, that he is well and has been well during all 'the seven months he has been in France. He says that he has been stationed at one place near Paris, on the Seine river, during the whole of his stay over there. . 1 Gen. James I. Metts, 'commander of the North Carolina Confederate Vet erans, has received Tthe following let ter from his son. Col. John VanB. Metts of the 119th Infantry, 30th "Old Hickory," division: "Yours August 29th reached me the night I came out of the line. Was as Always delighted to get it. We had a great fight this time. The papers of London spoke of the American troops from Tennessee, North and South Caro lina hitting and going through the Hindenburg line just north of St. Quen tin. My outfit bore a heavy part. Our losses were not so bad. Glad to say not an . officer was killed, though had several wounded. It is amazing to "walk over this country in this vicinity and see the conditionc A mass of shell Hi holes large and small. By large I mean) 15 to 20 feet wide and from 8 to IS feet deep. Every town and village absolutely a wreck. Only walls in borne cases standing. In most a pile of brick and rubbish. The Hun expected fully as gained from examination of pris oners his Hindenburg line, composed of three complete lines of trenches and deep dugouts and the canal tunnel, to hold with its mass of wire, etc., but it didn't stop us, and we followed the barrage so closely he didn't" have time to think before we were on top of him. This tunnel -is about 60 feet deep, electric lighted and modern in every way. Could take care of a division on the large . barges which they use. It- was built years ago by the French and made for occupancy 4. by .troops by the Hun. It has large banks" of earth on top and was made for defence, but over it we went.

Got one who spoke English and I soon knew from his speech he had been in the United States. Said he had lived in Chicago and "had been to New Tork. One cannot imagine the explo sion of these shells close by. Men have been knocked down from concussion. Some blown 30 feet and not hurt.

WENT TO CHURCH EVERY SUNDAY FOR THIRTY YEARS (Speoial Star : Correspondence.) Kinston, Nov. )3. Gasless Sundays were nothing to W. H. O'Berry, a well known local man. Last winter's fuel less Sundays, when' services were restricted to one or two churches a. Sunday, bothered him little. But the past three "churchless Sundays" brought to a close Mr. O'Berry's re markable record of religious constancy. According to today's bulletin of the First Baptist church, Mr. O'Berry hadn't let a Sunday pass In 30 years without attending at least one service. His church friends, it is understood, will insist that the last three Sundays be passed up asv 'tinot counting."
