1 1 - . XHE MORNING STAR, WILMINGTON, N.C., tMONDAY, NOVEMBER -11, 1918.' ... UNITED WAR DRIVE -WILL BEGIN TODAY ew Hanover County in Fine Shape For Campaign. feverai Industrial Plant Hare Already subscribed 100 Per Cent Miss Cady Delivers Interesting Address cm War Work. The united war work campaign to raise $170,500,000 to be expended for the benefit of American soldiers in France an dthe sailors and soldiers on this B-de of the Atlantic opens this morn Ins at 9 o'clock. New Hanover quota 0f the national budget is $57,500. Since preparations for the campaign started, John K. Mott, director-general, has itated that no less than $250,000,000 trill cover the needs of the seven wel fare organizations allied in the cam paign and asks that the nation con tribute this amount. Xew Hanover, then, is expected to raise $100. 000 during the seven days 0 the campaign to be divided among the seven organizations caring for Am erica soldiers. That she will do it there is no doubt, for the, people of Vvilmifton and New Hanover have never fallen down upon a proposition pf this kind, and it is needless to say that they will not be found wanting this time. Speaking in the interest of the united v,ar work campaign, Miss Mary Cady, educational secretary of the national board of the Y. W. C. A., delivered an Interesting address at Grace Methodist church yesterday afternoon in which she described the indispensable ser vices rendered by the seven organiza tions interested in the campaign. While the great world war has released dur ing the past four years a torrent of horrible suffering, such, as the world has never before known. Miss Cady declare! it has also set loose a flood of beneficent giving which has to a certain extent taken the horror out of the war. In the service rendered by. the seven organizations interested in this cam paign,'' Miss Cady dontinued, "there is no discrimination against any class or Individual. Every man and woman working for Uncle Sam, whether they near the qhaki of the munition fac tory or the uniform of military service, Is benefitted by these organizations. "This has been more a woman's war than any other war in the history of the world, and it is therefore natural that the Y. W. C. A., an organization directed and run almost entirely by women, should be actively interested In this work. The women have' not only donned overalls aria gone into the munition factories, entered business of fices, learned to operate elevators and In many other ways have released men for service in the army, but they have gone to the front with the boys and looked after their welfare and com fort while they are fighting. . They have assumed a large portion of the nation's industrial burden In England there is a shipyard run entirely by womeru vyhile in France practically all industrial work is accomplished by wo men workers whose husbands, brothers ana sons nave gone into tne trenones. "The Salvation Army is doing a great work at the front. The more one learns about this organization, the better he appreciates the great amount of - good It is accomplishing. It was right up at the front when the war broke out and was the first relief organization to render service in the war zone. When the brave little Belgian army blocked the path of the German giant, it was "The S. A. workers who went to Its assistance. The Salvation Army administers to the physical side of the soldiers and is always ready to greet the soldier when he staggers out Of the trench, worn and tired, with a hot. savory cup of coffee and a plate of buns. T'ae spiritual side is also look ed after by the Salvation lassies, who hold services for the boys in the A. A. hunts." "The Jewish welfare board is com posed of big. intelligent men, faithful wooers who are accomplishing a valu able work among the soldiers, parti cularly among the Russian Jews in the army. The American Library associa t!r"i is supplying. the boys with good books, while the War Camp Community service the proper kind of friends' and fnlertainment for our boys while they lr town on leave. "The Y. W. C. A., while it is work in? for the welfare of the soldiers, as a woman's organization it is primarily interested in the welfare of the girls, there has been a girl problem in this ountry for several years, though many oo not know it. Around the camps over e country there is a certain class of '! y girls, not really wicked, who go nd over the uniform, and the Y. W.

GflRISTIAN DDH TO FORGIVE OUR FOES Germans Should Not be Hated, Declares Dr. Wells. Pa.tor of Flmt Presbyterian Church Vtgen That Germany Should Pay Penalty for Her Crimea, But No v Animosity Should be Felt. "We stand at the dawn of peace," decfared Dr. John M. Wells, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, in ls sermon yesterday morning based on the two texts, "And Jesus said 'For give Them'" Luke 23;24, and "For giving one another even as God for Christ's sake hath foKgiven ' you" Eph. 4:32. "Its glory lights the horizon," he continued, "in its light, what should be the attitude of Christians toward these enemies of ours? We as Christ ians want to do right. It is worth our while to study this complex problem from every angle. What does our Ixrd require of us now? First, let us remember that they have sinned griev ously against us. "They have rejected our Christ just as really as those of whom I rc&d in our Scripture wesson rejected Him. Their philosophy, as I showed you once before, has no place for the tend er, self-saerificing Christ. Their the ology, with its destructive criticism, has destroyed its foundations and. has no place for Him. Their kaiser never refers to Christ. His is a God of pow er only, the old war god of ,the Teu tons. He has rejected Christ, and by that rejection has truly crucified him afresh and put Him to shame. "The Germans have broken every law of God. Tfiey have stained earth, sea, and the sky with the blood of innocent victims. They have defiled the women of the invaded countries. Age nor childhood has brought 'pro tection. They have robbed those lands of everything they could pillage. They have broken their plighted word; tear ing up treaties as scraps of paper. "They have cruelly wronged us. They have, sunk our ships. They have murdered without warning our people. They have murdered our wounded in hospital ships. They have murdered our wounded and nurses under that cross which has brought protection under every civilized nation. No lan guage can portray their guilt. They launched the submarine warfare against the laws of God, man and na tions. They launched, their war from the air against women and children, against the law of nations. They in augurated the use of gas without no tice, and against civilized usage. They began the use of liquid fire. They dragged the helpless tnto exile. They drove away young women to a fate worse than death. They crucified wounded Canadian soldiers. These things we know. They are proven be yond doubt, . In our homes we mourn the loss of loved ones, their maiming, their suffering. They have sinned against us grievously. "What was the attitude of Christ, our Lord, our Exemplar, toward those who sinned against Him. Rejected, they led him away to crucifixion. -You know what agonies he suffered. They robbed Him; tney lied about Him; they broke His mother's heart. They tor tured Him; they broke His heart. But while hanging on the cross He said: Father, forgive them.' And his apos tles wrote: 'Forgiving one another even as God forChrist's sake hath for given you.' "We have here a new ethical con ception. He revealed to man what was almost a new religious principle. The writers of antiquity had derided forgiveness as weak. He enjoined it as a Gid-given duty. When Peter ask ed, "Lord, how oiten shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Till seven times?' You know the. an swer. 'Until . seventy times seven,' an indefinite number of times. Always he enjoins forgiveness. But what did he mean? "Forgiveness does not mean that we are not to recognize the fact that they shall be punished by God for their sins. God punishes sin and crime. As individuals and as a nation they sjjall be punished. 'Whatsoever a man sow eth, that shall he also reap.' 'The wages of sin is death. 'I "will punish you for all your iniquities.' God will and is punishing Germany. Death, hunger, despair, humiliation are her portion. Today the red flag is flying, cities are blazing, homes are wrecked. There is fear and anguish from one end of the-'land to the. other. " 'Our God is a consuming fire.' God will punish hereafter. He will punish in hell. 'The wicked shall be burned in hell and the nations that forget God. The ravishers of Belgian wo men, unless they repent, will be pun ished in hell. Those who are respon sible for the gassed, the burned, the blinded, the mangled, unless they re pent, will be punished in hell. God will avenge. . "Our forgiveness does not mean that God will punish. Our leaders will be recreant if they do not see that the guilty are tried and punished. Crime must be legally punished. The re sponsible guilty ones must be punish ed. Our forgiveness cannot and should not go that far. Forgiveness does not mean failure to require payment for wanton material damage. The old Mo saic law and " the . golden rule agree here. Destruction must be paid for "What does the forgiveness that 14 required of the Christian mean?. We are not to curse our enemies. This cursing. of the Germans is one of the worst by-products of ;the war. Men (Continued ott Page Eight) " 1JL. I. BOYS ENJOY . BANQUET IN FRANCE Corporal J. Harry Hay den Tells of Happy Event.

Public is Given An Opportunity to be Heard Moormen and Conductors Will File Protest With Com pany Today. Corporal J. Harry Hayden, Battery C, Second battalion, trench artillery, with the American expeditionary forces in France, writes most interestingly to The Star of a recent banquet en joyed at the front by members of the old Wilmington Light Infantry, which shows that in the stern realities of the battle front there is place for the quip and jest. His letter, "dated Octo ber 15, breathes the fine spirit of the boys at the front and will be read with interest as follows: . Sunday night, by candle light, in the mess hall over here, 24 W. L. I. boys put their 48 feet beneath a banquet table and feasted as they had never be fore feasted over here. It was not an anniversary banquet, for the reason that the W. L. I. anniversary has al ways fallen on the 20th of May; rather was it a "get together party" to rein carnate that old W. L. I., spirit, which exists in spite of war and the fortunes of war, and will continue to exist after, "after de war." Lieut. Edward H. Holmes, who has always occupied a prominent part in W. L. I. affairs before the war, was toast-master, and he acquitted himself admirably. Captain John D. Ong, the commanding officer of Battery "C", and E. A. Cookson, secretary of the "Y" at our present "somewhere," and a Mr. Ogden, atheletic instructor, were the honorary guests. All presejf made short talks, and the evening was in deed an enjoyable one. The "feed list" included that bird which most of us taste only once or twice a year Thanksgiving and Christ mas and there were eight baked chickens on the table, and then there was "spud salad" an4 bread, with good butter ready to be buttered, and cof fee and sugar and dam-jam and pickles and "tailor-made-cigarettes." Then there were some fried s-n-a-i-l.s that were caught on the "run and the stu,ff to wash al lof the goodies mentioned, including the snails, consisted of vin blanc, water, champagne, coffee, la bierre and bum punch. No beans or hard tack were served, and there were no "fi-ni-sh" to what was on hand boo-koo, which is the phonetic spelling of the French word beaucoup, and which expresses the Caswell expres sion "great gobs" signifies the supply that met the demand of the 24 or me re appetites that had to be appeased. Mr. Cookson, the genial and very popular "Y" secretary, was the first talker, and he talked a blue-streak foi three minutes; but he talked facts and his subject, "Why the 'Y' Is?", was treated intelligently and in a very in teresting way- Then Sergeant "Happy" Lewis discoursed on the subject "wish ed on him" by Lieut. Holmes, "How come the banquet?", and he very frank ly admitted that the 20 francs apiece contributed' -by those present, was the real reason how the banquet came about. In his talk, "Happy" implicat ed the writer, who, as usual, made a bum speech. "lager" Harriss was ask ed to voice the yearning of those pres ent for the girls, which is the plur.il of girl, they left behind and while his talk was not a complete disaster, he admitted that he received more bet ters per diem than any present receiv ed per week. "Moojie" Register, 'Cas well's famous mule driver," talked on the subject dearest to his heart, "Mules," and he said there was more danger going to the rear of a mule than there was in going to the front. Joe LeMoyne was requested to voice the sentiments of the bunch as to their yearning to "finish boche" and, in the words . of an old Wilmington darkey "he done fine." Charlie Rich had an easy subject, "Why I can iVt make a speech?", and he explained it very easily by saying that he didn't have time, as he had so many letters to write." Jim Farrar talked on "The ex periences of an M. P.," and what he told listened well. Charlie Nixon made a nice little talk, about "eggs and feminine chickens," and Dan Walker talked on the future of Southport and the W. B. S. Kyle Bannerman talked on a mighty ticklish subject, which maybe ought not to be mentioned it was about: "Why do girls cry when their sweethearts go to war?" Ellis Shepherd talked better than a phono graph with a brand new needle and he excited much suprise among those present when he told them that "all of those present were about to be come fathers by adoption. "Shep" went on to explain that Battery "C" was adopting two orphans feminine gender one to be red-headed and the other a brunette, with dark, brown eyes." "Bill" Farmer "put out" all the latest sews from Wilmington, and his talk was sure like a "Morning S,tar" dropping from the sky. "Davey" Jones talked about the "good old Caswell days, stressing the days of restriction and the week end passes to Wilming ton." Charlie Cowan was itching' to talk, so Lieut. Holmes assigned him the task of "What is the Itch and Why are the Cooties?" He talked from ex perience, but he also implicated "Hap py" Lewis, "Davey" Jones, "Jack" Ruthland and the writer. "Joe" Bishop talked' very comprehensively on "The winning ways of the French girlies and the lasting ways of the girls over yonder." He must have known what he was talking about, 'cause he sure made us yearn for the sight of the girl who's over there and a tear drop ping from "Davey" eyes broke three plates and injured many others. Last but not least, though probably the thinnest of the thin present, was the boy who lost his shape over there and found it oyjer here which thing, should say perso'ns, is none other than hum ojrous "Pearlie" McKeithan. "Pearlie" talked- for a long, long time xact time not known, as the time keeper became so interested in what "Pearlie" was talking about, "vacation time in Brunswick, county," that he lost track of the time. "Pearlie" went on to reveal the secret df how Brunswick county happened to be on the other side of the -Tiver, Cape Fear, and he also nar rated some of his childhood experiences, such- as running rabbits, drinking branch water, sleeping on back fences and," watering flower? and cows. Al' the f while he was talking, the small that keeps' "Pearlie's face cracked all the time was helping them 29 flicer Ing candles light up that there banquet table. Then waiter Hasflagen, who talked just like Patrick Henry did the day I heard him exclaim:. "Give -me s6inethiJrtg'!--ahd 1 bar la?r 5 d?e:I ciovd ' - - vr tContinued.'on Page.iJiarhta:- j I There are two important matters now pending before city council and It is possible that one of these, probably both, will come before that fody 'at tonight's meeting for final disposition. One is that of an increase in the sal aries of firemen and policemen, a prop osition which, at last Wednesday's meeting, was , enlarged Jto include a number of other city employes. The other matter concerns the operation of "one-man" street cars in Wilmington. It may happen that neither of these matters will be taken up tonight. In fact it is not thought that the street car matter will be discussed, since ac tion has been deferred to give the pub lic an opportunity to be heard. Ray mond Hunt, general managet , of the Tidewater Power company, at the meeting last Wednesday, requested council to revoke the ordinance re quiring that every car be manned with two men. This ordinance affects the public very materially and council de clined to take action until the public had been given an opportunity of be ing heard. The adoption of this ordinance, it is stated, was purely a protective meas ure to the public. The argument pro duced in favor of its adoption, was that a motorman could not -give the proper consideration for the safety of his passengers when he had to occu py his mind with Collecting fares, making change, etc., and consequently the measure requiring two men to the car was made a law so that the motor man could give his entire thought to the operation of the car. Now it is proposed to equip the cars with new patented safety devices which, it is said, will make the 'one man" car just as safe and afford just as good accommodations as those op erated -by two men. There has been as yet no audiule opposition to revert ing to the "one man" car from the public, and the only complaint being heard so far comes from employes of the company. It is understood that the opposition among the motormen and conductors is almost unanimous, and a conference has been arranged between officials of the Tidewater Power company and a committee from the local carmen's union. This will be held today at (Continued on Page Eight) SOLE PURPOSE TO -AD) OUR SOLDIERS Organizations in United Drive Working asf One. United War Workers are Engaged in Noble Undertaking, Declares Dr. Mendelsohn in Sermon De livered Friday Night. Tiae seven organizations working for the welfare of America's soldiers, wide ly differing in their doctrines, are merged together as one in the campaign to raise funds to care for our fighting men, declared Dr. S. Mendelsohn, rabbi of the Temple of Israel in a sermon delivered Friday night. He spoke in part as follows: "That was a great meeting at the Academy last night great not in the sense of numerous, but as to its pur pose, as to the nobility of Its oDject. in the excellence of the thoughts there disseminated, in the warmth of the sen timents expressed, in the wholesome impression it made. Several speakers, including the states chairman, force fully and eloquently dilated on the ob jects of the united war work campaign which is to begin next Monday. Mrs. Clarence Johnson, of Raleigh, beauti fully portrayed the activities of the Y. W. C. A. in the cantonments at home and in the war zones abroad. They all were, illuminating, informa tive, although. they all spoke of organi zations we know, or rather, should know. For as a matter of fact, we only fancy we know, and this fact probably kept hundreds from joining us at the mass meeting. "Every American knows that, to use President Wilson's words, 'the .war de partment has recognized the Y. W. C. A. the national Catholic war council, the Jewish welfare board, the War Camp Community service, the American Lib rary association and the Salvation Army as accented instrumentalities through which the men in the ranks 'are to be assisted in many essential matters of recreation and morale.' But how many of us are familiar with the ways and means by which the self abnegating organizations achieve their aims and ends, of the invaluable ser vice they render and the commensu rate funds required, absolutely neces sary to enable these noble,, patriotic, humanitarian institutions to work out their unique and unsurpassable plans and devices? All this we were taught last night. "Lest there be some who question the feasibility of associating the Jew and the Gentile, the Catholic and the Pro testant in a campaign for the needed funds, let me remind them of the fact that war itself has done that, that tho five. -y EACH SATURDAY NIGHT vv This bank is open from 7 to 9.
