Referring to the recent drive of the allies against the Hindenburg line, which had been pronounced impregna te by at least one great military cor respondent. Mr. Partrick said: "The Old Hickory division of North Caro lina went up against that German stronghold and smashed through it, af ter it had been said that the line couldn't be broken, and if we will catch' the spirit of our own North Carolina boys who went through the Hindenburg line, we will have no dif ficulty in going far over the top in this "present drive. We have a vic tory here at home, and thbse boys who routed the Germans from their last line of defense are looking to us to win out just as they have, done." , . The negroes of the .county are showing up well in the campaign and there i-- little doubt that they will raise their quota of $2,500, according to W. H. Sprunt, who is associated with the committee directing the work among the colored people of New Han over. In his talk to the committee members at luncheon yesterday, Mr. Sprunt stated that the negroes are evi dencing a fine spirit of enthusiasm in the work and will not be found lag ging when the final count is made. Rev. jr. T. Plyler, pastor of Grace Methodist church, urged the workers to continue their efforts with unabated enthusiasm' to the very last hour of the campaign. "Stick to it 'to the end," he exhorted them, "and you can not help but win out. The difference between the man who succeeds and the man who fails is the fact that the winning man never gives up. Carry your work on until 6 o'clock Monday afternoon, so that even the very last minutes of the drive will count. The last two days of the war work drive will be the mqst intensive. Dis trict Director J. B. Huntington an nounced at luncheon yesterday that a war work carnival will be held on the streets this afternoon; the canvassing teams will be out in full force, and every person who has not already sub scribed will be asked to pledge his iimit today.

Only two days remain to. contribute one's thank offering to the boys who fought "over there," if one has not already done so. The canvassing teams will be on the streets today, and Di rector Huntington urges that any per son overlooked in the drive should ap proach one of the teams and offer his subscription, "for the soldiers . in France need your dollars far worse than you do," he said.

' . Chief among the topics yesterday was the report of the grand jury made to Judge Stacy Thursday afternoon and published in ; full In The Star yes terday, morning. In. fact there -was Uittle ls that claimed the attention U1. Bl' conversers. and numerous were the speculations as to the pos sible out come. Some thought that the unusually strong recommendations would likely: be allowed to die the death that grand jurys reports usually fall, victim to while others believed that the report would have a good ef fect and that the majority of recom mendations will be carried out in full. There were some who were ready., to criticise the members of the jury for "calling names" and thereby "hurting business," but the general comment ap peared favorable to the report and compliments were paid individual members. It was not uncommon to hear the remark: "Lam glad there is a set of men in -the county who have the nerve to call a spade a spade, and single out existing conditions that need improvement." Some members of the jury were called over the tele phone as, early as. 8 o'clock yesterday morning and congratulated for tak ing their stand, while others delivered their congratulatory remarks in per son. It is the custom of grand juries to make recommendations but ifi is sel dom that this body makes recommend ations and then sets a time limit in which they shall be carried out-and embody clauses making it mandatory that court proceeding be taken In case of failure. This is what was done in the report of Thursday. The report concerning certain unsan itary conditions that exist in the city took the form of giving the health of ficer "backing in his procedure in car rying out the recommendations, and it is understood that he will take . ad vantage of this. METAL TRADES MEETING Association to Hold Conference Charlotte December 3. in President W. C. Mealor, of Atlanta, has called a meeting of the Southern Metal Trades association for Char lotte the 3rd of December, in the fol lowing letter to members: "Subject to resolution offered in the adjournment of our annual meeting in May which specified that a semi-annual meeting of the association be held within six months from that date, we hereby call a meeting of the associa tion for December 3 Tuesday in Charlotte, N. C. "On account of the unfortunate epi demic of influenza this meeting has been dejayed approximately 30 days. We anticipate and trust, however, that no inconvenience will arise to any of the members causing them to be un able to attend this particular meet ing. "There are a number of pertinent things for discussion. The conditions prevailing in the last six months in the foundry interest may possibly con tinue insofar as volume of business is concerned, yet the sudden settlement of the war will bring about numerous adjustments in lines of work covering government demands, and it is very essentia for the members of the asso ciation to discuss these possibilities in their every phase, looking toward a line of action such as is possible to do for the next six months. "If this organization as an associa tion has been worth anything at all to its members it will certainly prove of greater value in its service from now on because of the fact that condi tions are going to be changing to a greater or less extent, and it behooves us to take ewry advantage of the organizations prestige and our every effort to promote the fundamental principles upon which it is founded." Locally, the association has a mem ber in the Wilmington Iron Works and President Mealor has named W. W. Storm of that company a member of the committee on "costs." a subject of fvery great Importance to the associa tion just now. UNION SCHOOL MATTER Action on Recommendations of Grand Jury Expected Monday. The regular meeting of the board of education, postponed from last Monday on account of members being ouY of the city, will be held Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock when it is ex pected that the board will take .offi cial cognizance of the recommenda tion included in the grand jury's re port submitted to Judge Stacy Thursi day afternoon and which had to dJ with the Union school. The report recommended, and de-r manded, that the 300 or more pupils occupying the rooms, on the second floor be transferred, or that arrange ments be made by which they would not have to be confined on the second floor of this building, claiming that the condition of the fire escape is such as to endanger the lives of 'the chil dren in case of fire. The school au thorities are given two weeks in which to comply. Committeemen of the sch6ol . and members of the board of education visited the school yesterday following the publication of the report, and it was stated by a member of the board last night that he saw little or no oc casion for the severe arraignment of the grand jury. However, it Is ex pected that some action will be taken at Monday's meeting. VICTORY BOYS AND GIRLS War Work Club at High School Re ports Several Classes 100 Per Cent.

Poo. of Raleigh, One of North Carolina' Most Eloquent Speakers, Is to Deliver Patrio tic Address . Special Music - The city organization of the united war work campaign has arranged to give the people of Wilmington an op portunity to "hear one of North Caro lina's most noted orators tomorrow afternoon at the Academy of Music. Hon. James H. Pou, of Raleigh, has promised to come to Wilmington Sun day and deliver an address in the in terest of the united war work cam paign. The ocasion of Mr. Pou's address is a "Victory" meeting arranged by the united war work campaign organiza tion. This is no time for slowing up just when victory cames into sight apd the end of the long struggle has al most reached, District Director Hunt ington has declared.' Every citizen must "carry on" "to the very end. A runner would not slacken his speed when he has almost reached the goal, neith er should the "soldiers at home" who are fighting .to win the war by con tributing their dollars, .retreat from the battlefield when victory is within reachrv The -academy will 'be decorated with -bunting and patriotio posters for the meeting, which begins . promptly at 3":30 o'clock tomorow afternoon. A special program is being prepared which includes a number of the favor ite songs of today, and the meeting promises to be one of the most enjoy able patriotic rallies held here recent ly. The Academy of Music has a large seating capacity, but in case the crowd exceeds its limits, special seats' will be provided for the over-flow. As a "war speaker" no man in the state has been in the limelight as much as Mr. Pou. He ha.s delivered telling war speeches all over the state and has thrilled large audiences everywhere. He is the kind of speaker who grips an audience and gives it something to think about. Those who know of him will be sure to want to hear him tomorrow. DRAFT BOARD TO HELP Will Assist in Returning; Soldiers to Civil Occupations. If Washington dispatches relative to the further utilization of draft boards throughout th country in the demobili zation of thefarmy are correct, mem bers, of the boards who have so earnest ly and patriotically served the county for many months, will not be relieved of their work yet awhile. A Washington dispatch is" to the ef fect that all draft boards will be asked to assist in distributing soldiers and sailors as they are released from the service. The plan is to have the board see certain industries, ascertain how many men they have lost by the draft, if they can tak all of' them back and if more can be utilized. For instance, a member of the, draft board -will call on a local concern and find out how many machinists it can use. Then this number will be released from the ser vice and placed with this industry. This will apply to all clases of em ployment. I nthis manner the men will be ab sorbed by the commercial and indus trial industries of the country as they leave the service and will eliminate any congestion that might result from the men being "dumped" into a com munity without first providing for their employment. "PEMBROKE BOULEVARD." Road to Carolina Shipyard Named Honor of Pembroke Jones. in "Pembroke Boulevard" is the name that has been officially given to the new concrete road that was recently constructed by the county leading from Central boulevard, Sunset Park, to the yard of the Carolina Shipbuilding cor poration. Announcement to this effect was made yesterday by C. C. Chad bourn, of the Fidelity Development and Trust company, following the receipt of a reply from Pembroke Jones, in honor of whom the roadway was nam ed, requesting his permission to name the road in honor of him. In view of the fact that Mr. Jones, while a resident of New York, was instrumental in getting the shipyards located in Wilmington, officials of the development company thought it prop er that the highway be named in his honor. Mr. Jones has large real estate holdings in this county including his country place, "Airlie-on-the-Sound, and while hje lives mostly in New York, he is really a Wilmlngtonian and one of the best boosters the city has. DRAFT BOARD GETS ORDERS Questionnaire to Be Mailed to All 18-Year-Old Men. The city draft board yesterday re ceived orders from the office of the state adjutant general in Raleigh in structing that questionnaires be mail ed to the 18-year-old registrants. The order also stated that men 37 years of age and over who have received their questionaires need not fill them out but return them blank. Local draft officials do not under stand the motive for sending out ques tionaires to the 18-year-old men and recalling those sent men passed the age of 37. The order occasioned a dis cussion at the office of the board yes terday, some being of the opinion that it is the purpose of the government to give the young men of this country an intensive course in military training. This seems most probable as it now appears that, their service will not' be needed for combatant purposes. Newman DO&a in Picture. , Jack Newman's two famous bird dogs make their debut as screen stars in the World Film production "The Grouch," made in and around Wilming ton last summer, at the Grand Mon day. Montagu Love,' the star of the production, saw Mr. Newman's two' big pointers one day while lunching at the latter's restaurant on Princess street and was so impressed with their beauty that he persuaded Mr., Newman to loan them for several of the camp and woodland scenes which were made on the banks of.

The -war department is determined to return soldiers to their families and' to civil life uneontaminat ed by disease. Laxity In your state after so much has been done would be a disaster to our soldiers and their families. " 'I am telegraphing mayors of largest cities of your state according to the above. You are requested to tele graph this message verbatim to mayors of all cities and towns therein."

PERFECTING PLANS FOR JUVENILE HOME Temporary Committee Will Meet Monday Morning. Plan Is to Rent a Country Home or Purchase Land and Erect a Suit able Building -Need is Ur gent, Officials Declare. The committee appointed by the grand jury Thursday morning to per fect plans to be submitted to a joint session of the city council and the board of county commissioners to be held Monday night at 7:30 o'clock look ing to the establishment of a home-for delinquent boys- and girls of Wilming ton and 'New Hanover county, is pre paring its recommendations. Members of the committee have busied them selves getting information which will be condensed into definite .plans at a meeting of the committee to be held at the tiome of Mrs. W. B. Cooper Mon day morning at 11 o'clock. Members of both the county and city governmental bodies were before the grand jury Thursday morning to -discuss the matter. The movement met with the hearty approval of every member who was before the grand jury and it is understood that the in dividual support of each has been promised. The city and county' law makers had the necessity for such an institution explained to them by three persons who are in position to better know the needs than any one else Re corder George Harriss, Solicitor Bur ton and the probation officer, Rev. F. D. Dean. Persons in well-informed circles declare there is no argument against the establishment of a home for these delinquents, as, under the proposed plans, only a moderate sum will be needed to begin with. Then there has come to members of the com mittee assurance that If city council and the board of commissioners take favorable action, outside assistance will be forthcoming almost instantly. Mr. Dean stated last night that the need for the proposed institution is imperative if the delinquents of- the county and city are to be saved, and in substantiating his statement he called attention to the 38 white boys who are now parolled in his custody. There are also several girls under his supervision but he states that these are taken care o fwith les difficulty than are the boys. To start with, delinquencies among young girls are not so numerous as among the boys and they can be placed easier than the boys, Mr. Dean stated. When he is is unable to get a girl in a home where the environments will be such as to elevate the character of the girl, she can be sent to the reformatory school in Moore county. According to the plan neither the city or county governments will be asked for large appropriations to start with. It is possible that some . home will be rented on the sound or in some some of the suburban districts and that its operation will be made pos sible for about $300 per month. The Jadies of the committee appointed Thursday have several places" in view and will inspect these today to ascer tain if they are suitable for the pro posed institution.

Then another joint session will be held and final arrangements made. The committee that has been appointed is only temporarly, but in case council and the commissioners de cide to undertake the movement a per manent commission will be named to take the matter in hand and put it through. It is possible that the committee will be unable to locate a suitable build ing. In such case it is the plan to purchase a small tract of land and construct a building on a simple plan that will not require the expenditure of any great amount of money. The movement has met with favor on all bands and it is the opinion of some that should it become necessary to re sort to that policy, a sufficient sum could be raised in Wilmington by popular subscription to erect the build ing and maintain it for a year. How- ever, they contend that fhis should not be necessary as it is thought that the city and county can raise the money without calling for outside assistance. But it has been stated that now the movement is started, tit should not be allowed to stop, even if the entire funds are to 'be secured by the subscription route. r IMen.s Clothing stripes, .$17.50 .$19.95 .$26.75 .$7.95 .$14.95 .$17.75 .$10.95 .$ 8.50 1 m- TO IT!
