C, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1918, bloouent address 'by gov. bigkett speaks to Capacity House At Academy of Music War .-.rolina'- Audience of White and Ne- Jr0 Citizens Came Especially ' for Colored People. . i- - fln o wllAIAeAma r f0r which he is noted, the ad- , it, TT., 11, cc delivered Ai-ciicutj, Thof Bickett, North Caro croat war governor, at the Gov-lina's the most eloquent and entertaining .rv,es heard in Wilmington in many months. Speaking to a large audience 0 coiored people and a numerous herirt 01 wince ciucno r held the interest of his hearers he moment he began speaking erno from until the last word. ;i he stated in his introductory re ma'KS' leaders colored organiza tions in Wilmington have been con ctantly and persistently trying during (je past six months to bring him here to make a patriotic address. Th col ored representatives were backed up in their appeal by the chamber of commerce, who Knew What pleasure Governor Bickett's p.resence in Wil mington would bring to white and col ored people alike. "It was your 'stick-to-it-iveness' that brought me here," Governor Bickett told the negro audience, after being introduced in fitting and highly appropriate terms by Mayor P. Q. Moore 'And that is a quality that not only colored people but white peo pe as well should cultivate. That Is one of the things enabling America and :ier allies to 'lick hell' out of Ger many. TVhen the war started," continued the governor, "certain evil-minded men predicted that there would be trouble between the two races. ' At ihat time it was my pleasure to issue a proclamation declaring my faith in the loyalty of the colored race, and later events have justified that faith. For it was proved that the kaiser with a!! of his cash could not corrupt the colored man. You sent your sons into service without murmur or complaint, and they went smiling. When the tale of the questionnaire is read, there where they are stacked mountains deep at the state capital, the records will show that a very small number of negroes tried to evade military ser vice. As a good old negro darkey once told me, there are three, things the black man loves to do: He likes to dress up in a uniform, to parade in all his pomp and glory and keep step with a beating drum, and to fight when fighting costs nothing. The ne groes in this war fought nobly and veil, and they died facing the foe. It was with your help, doing what you could, that we have won the victory, 'When the United States entered the war, the allies were practically lost. Russia was reeling like a drunken nan: Italy was torn with dissension; England was bleeding at every pore; and France was gasping . for breath when Vncle Sam reached for his gun and cried. Not yet!' And so the gol den pen of the historian will write that America has saved the civilization of the world. The kaiser said that America would not fight; but he had that sudden and sharp awakening ex perienced by that Carolinian who sat down upon as circular saw to see if it was running. While the neighbors were gathering up the scattered pieces of his body they declared that it was! "We are going to have the grandest Thanksgiving since the day the Pil grims landed.

Stiles, govern ment health expert. The opening of the institution as a laboratory took plaee Tuesday, Dr. Stiles stated last night. . , While the laboratory has been open ed and experimental work is now go ing on, it is on a small scale and will so continue until Dr. Stiles finishes his work in connection with the state wide influenza . epidemic and goes to Augusta for a short business visit. Dr. Stiles had planned to begin his research rk, about the middle of October anoThad employed some of his help when he found that he would have to abandon the laboratory for a' time and assist in wiping out the epidemic. Six of those who . will be stationed here with him have arrived and are engaged in preliminary work at the laboratory now. Three are micro scopists and three members of the clerical force. Dr. Stiles expects to have about 10 or more others em ployed in the laboratory when he gets things to going at full speed, which will be several weeks yet. Dr. Stiles is still engaged in figur ing up the cost of the epidemic in the state, and when he finishes this he will have to go 'to Augusta for about a week before he can turn his full time to the laboratory. He may fin ish the epidemic work in time to leave here for August Saturday, or it may be the following- Saturday. He also stated last night that there may be certain developments that will even prolong his stay here before going to the Georgia city. WILL RESUME WORK ON ARMY AND NAVY CLUB TOMORROW FIVE. Large Number of Soldiers Will Arrive From Fort Caswell Today. Work on the Army and Navy club on postoffice green for the use of men in the uniform and their relatives and friends while in the city, will be re sumed tomorrow and will be rushed to completion Just as fast as possible. Col. A. W. Chase, commandant at Fort Caswell was in the city yesterday and stated that he would send a number of. men from the fort this afternoon to begin work tomorrow morning. Colonel Chase did not state just how many men he will send but it is under stood that it will be no small number and the determination now is to com plete the building at once. In addition to the fort men many of the soldiers and sailors stationed here, it is stated, will find tools somewhere and will give a lift in getting the club build ing completed. The building was started several weeks ago, but work had to be sus pended on account of influenza and for some other reasons it has not been taken up again. FLOUR RESTRICTIONS OFF.

MAKE CONTRIBUTION A THANK OFFERING Would Show Appreciation Of Soldiers by Liberality. Subseriptiona to War Work Fund Fell Lower ' Yesterday Than on Wed nesday Stirring Talk at Com mittee Luncheon. Make the funds raised in the united war work campaign a thangsgiving offering to the men who have so nobly and gloriously served their country during one of the world's greatest crises and measure our appreciation of their self-sacrifice and faithful work by the magnitude of our subscriptions, is the suggestion of Rev. Dr. W. H. Milton, rector of St. James church, who delivered an inspiring talk at the luncheon served at campaign head quarters yesterday for the committee members of the war work organiza tion. "November 11 marked the dawn of a new era," Dr. Milton declared. "It is the birthday of a finer civilization. Let us make our contributions to the unit ed war work campaign " a birthday present to our soldiers, a thank offer ing to the noble men who are coming home to build a stronger and greater nation, a bulwark of justice and right eousness that will stand for all time." Other speakers at the luncheon in cluded Major Milnor, who returned two weeks ago from France, where he has been in service during the past several months, and Bishop T. C. Darst. Ma jor Milnor related some of his ex periences with the Y. M. C. A. and other relief organizations overseas and told of the splendid way in which they are assisting in keeping up the morale of the soldiers. Bishop Darst gave an account of the way the people of Greensboro are conducting the cam paign in that city. At a meeting there at which Bishop Darst spoke, between eight and ten thousand dollars were subscribed to the fund within 15 min utes, the bishop stated, showing that the patriotism of the Greensboro folk burns as brightly after the excitement is over as it did while the shot and shell were bursting on the battlefield. "The need for funds to care for America's soldiers, give them comforts and keep up their morale will be greater," Bishop Darst declared, "dur ing the next six months than at any time during the struggle. During the din of battle, he continued, the excite ment, visions of the great ideals for which they were fighting and the glory and joy of the strife kept the soldiers tuned to a high pitch, but now that the end has come and victory has been gained a reaction has set in, the men will be released from many of the restrictions thrown around them, there will be fewer things to occupy their time, their thoughts are turning home ward and they will be subject to feel ings of homesickness and loneliness. "These things," Bishop Darst stated, "tend to lower the morale of the men, so that it is necessary for all the or ganizations engaged in relief work to continue supplying means of enter tainment for the soldiers, giving them an opportunity to occupy their time with clean, wholesome amusements until they return to their own homes again. "I thank God," Bishop Darst con cluded, "that these splendid organiza tions are over there to look after the welfare of our boys and keep them free from those things that would soil and besmirch their noble manhood." The reports made by the canvassing committees at luncheon yesterday did THANKS DRAFT BOARDS Crowtfer Appreciates the Work of the Selective Service Machinery. The following has been reoelved by the city and county draft boards from state headquarters, containing the thanks of Provost Marshal General Crowder for the co-operation of the draft board members: "You will at once discontinue all work connected with the classification of men who on September 12, 1918, had attained their 37th birthday. You will further continue to completion as. ex peditiously as possible the classifica tion of all registrants who on Septem ber 12, 1918, had attained their 19th birthday and had not attained their 37th birthday. You will, finally, at the earliest appropriate moment issue questionnaires to all registrants who on September 12, 1918, had attained their 18th birthday and had not at tained their 19th birthday, and to pro ceed with and complete as early as possible the classification of such reg istrants." "In entering pursuant to the fore going instructions upon what seems in view of the mighty events of the day, to be the final work of this character to be done by the selective service sys tem, I extend to the members of the system my personal congratulations upon their truly great achievement . of the past year and a half, achievements that have taxed to the utmost the time, the ability, and endurance of all thoe engaged in the work and that have fur nished the army to which in large measure must be given the credit for saving to the world both civilization and government by the people hereby to you, members of that system, must come a sense of duty well done which, patriotism, and devotion such as yours can bring. The country and the world knows that it owes to you a debt 6t thanks and gratitude which cannot be measured by words but only by the af fection, the respect, esteem, now yours, of those among whom you live and from whom you have taken that which was beyond price."

Col. Walker Taylor, who' presided, at the meeting, introduc ed Dr. S. Mendelsohn, rabbi of the Temple of Israel.

As rep resentative of the colored people, he thanked Governor Bickett for favor ing them with his presence. He pledged the support of the negro citi zens to Governor Bickett and to the government. In discussing the service rendered by the-negro race during the war, he stated that during preceding wars through which America has pass ed, the negro race by shedding its blood on the field of battle had made partial payments on their claim for recognition as true American citizens, and through the accomplishments of the 400,000 negroes ,who served their country in the great war just closed the negro race has paid its final in stallment and - feels that the hand of brotherhood sand fellowship should be extended to them as real citizens of a really democratic nation. t .':.

"If the campaign; continues to pro gress as it has during the past two days of the campaign, the county will readily reach its quota of 57,500, but Director General John R. Mott has re quested that this allotment be over subscribed at least 50 per cent In order to raise sufficient funds to cover the needs of the seven organizations en gaged in the work; and unless a much better response is made during the re maining days oi the drive, Chairman Bellamy states, the city and county will fall far below the sum expected of them. . At the close of the luncheon District Chairman H. Lacy Hunt read the fol lowing telegram from State Chairman George Watts urging that New Hanover county go well over the top: "Owing to approaching peace it is more important than ever that you secure 50 per cent increase over your county quota. Hope you can do so. Let us anticipate the thanksgiving spirit with liberality in response to the sacrificial spirit of the boys. It will cost far more to serve our millions of soldiers,- sailors and marines than it has cost to serve them during the time they were fighting." A telegram from state, headquarters was also read by Chairman Hunt an nouncing, that a united war work silk flag will be given, to the county se curing , the largest number of sub scriptions in proportion to the popu lation and that Liberty bonds and war savings stamps are acceptable as con tributions at their present par value.

They will visit the city schools today and will enlist the sup port of the pupils and teachers. As war stamps are to be given for the largest number of rat tails turned in, it is expected that there -will be a great deal of activity among the children and that good results will be obtained. WHEN MARRIAGE IS A FAILURE. Surely marriage is a failure when its essential purpose, the raising of a family of children, proves impossible. In the childless home the married pair, though sometimes more or less uncon scious of the fact,, grow disappointed and lonely. Lacking- the best tie to hold them together they, are likely to drift apart, - hence many separations and divorces. If every wife, whose physical - state prevents motherhood, would but try that great: remedy, Lydla E.-Pinkha?n's Vegetable ' Compound, - there "won! J be ' far 1 fewer' childless . homes. adv. ; , 1 ' ; v-y - v n .' , After having been converted into a laboratory where Dr. Charles W. Stiles, of the United States public health ser vice is to carry on special research work for the government, the marine hospital will again this morning be turned into a hospital for pneumonia victim from the City of Savannah, a government transport which arrived here Tuesday morning witji 1,900 .Por to Ricans en route to Fayetteville to aid in the construction of Camp Bragg. Contrary to rumors that were cur rent on the streets yesterday and last night, there is no influenza aboard the ship, assurance having been given to this effect last night by Lieut. M. S. Black, medical officer in charge. There were also reports that there had been a large number of deaths on the ves sel, which was also denied by Lieut-, enant Black. He stated that he lost .two from tuberculosis on the way here arjd one yesterday from pneumonia, which covers the casualties. The reports reached he Red Cross and National Special Aid and George H. Hutaff, of the Red Cross, and Miss Jane D. Wood of the National Special Aid, went down to the vesael and of fered assistance. Seeing there was need for quick action Miss Wood at once gathered her forces togather and made 200 mustard plasters and 25 gal lons of soup for the pneumonia vic tims. Later In the afternoon Dr. Charles E. Low, county health officer and Dr. John Wessell, a member of the board of health, went to the City of Savan nah to investigate and if warranted to quarantine the ship and keep the men from coming ashore. However, they were satisfied that there was no influenza and no occasion for placing restrictions on the ship. Dr. Stiles called on Lieutenant Black and offered him assistance and it was decided to remove 50 who are in worst condition to the marine hospital where they will be treated. Lieutenant Black, who reached Wil mington on the City of Savannah on her other trip during the early stages of the epidemic here and rendered valuable service in combatting the plague while the majority of the Wil mington doctors were themselves in capacitated with the disease, stated last night that out of the 1,900 men he has about 300 who are too ill for work and approximately 200 who are very sick with colds. There are only about 50 who are suffering with pneumonia. The men contracted the colds, Lieuten ant Black stated, about the 10th of the month when they encountered a storm and a sudden change in the tempera ture. All of the natives were thinly clad, some wearing only two light garments and without shoes, which, in a great measure, is responsible for so many of them contracting colds. This is the fourth trip that Lieutenant Black has made, on each trip having in excess of 1,700 men, and this ia the first time that he has experienced any trouble.'
