For Foch and Joffre and Wilson, For brave Albert and his Queen; For the poilus and their courage, For the whole sublime machine, Moving steady, firm and ready, Moving like a doom upon The vandal hordes that battled in that iron line of the Hun!

QUOTA AVarehousmen, Merchants and Manu facturer Aked to Buy Limit to Save State's Record. Winston-Salem, Nov. 29. Tobacco warehousemen, merchants and manu facturers of the state are going to be asked to invest in the name of their business 1.000 in war savings certifi cates by December 31. These were the plans made at a conference held here yesterday of representative tobaccon ists, merchants and manufacturers. The object of the conference was to devise ways and means of raising the state's entire allotment by December 31- and the plan adopted does not in terfere with the privilege of individ uals owning $1000 worth of stamps in their own names. Neither is it a spe cial privilege or ruling of the war sav ings law. It is estimated that by this plan over $6,000,000 worth of stamps will be Dougrtt. It is figured that there nr warehousemen in the state who 300 will invest $1,000 each in stamcs in th name of the warehouse, that there are 5,000 merchants who will invest $1,000 each, and that there are near a thou sand manufacturing concerns, each of wnicn win take $1,000 in stamps. The willingness of the business men of the state to put their shoulder to the wheel and make a success of the war savings campaign was evident at this conference. Most of those attending the conference - had already 'taken $1,000 for themselves and their fami lies and are willing to take an extra thousand in the name of their business to secure the state's allotment and give it a 100 per cent, war record at the end of the year. : I UPPER S.

Meyland, whom reports ' indicated would remain deputy under the incum bency of Henry Home, whose appoint ment as register has been forecast for Monday, stated yesterday that he would not remain in the register's office, but would succeed Mr. Horne as deputy clerk of the court, the change being simply an exchange between Mr. Horne and himself. Mr. Horne, it is stated, has been determined upon as the ap pointee in the absence of Walter H. Blair, who was elected but who is un able to qualify Monday because he is in service in France. Never Stopped at All. W. P. Mangum Turner, attorney, re ports a narrow shave in an automobile case Tuesday night in Second street when the driver of a Ford car dashed between the Turner car and Warren's dray in front of the Warren milk sta tion, side-swipping the stationary ma chine and knocking the hordes feet from under him. The driver never hesitated but went right on. The law yer leaped from his car and chased him up Second to Princess where the Ford had to slow down, and got the car number. In the dark he couldn't tell what damage his car had sustained and he wanted to know who wag who. and found out. As it happened, the car wasn't damaged but the horse was "knocked winding" and bruised. EFFORT TO DISCREDIT THE WOODEN SHIPS Fletcner Charges Propaganda Is Being Spread Urges That Building' Pro gram Continue. Washington, Nov. 29. In a state ment advocating continuous construc tion of wooden ships, Senator Fletcher, of Florida, chairman of the senate commerce committee, charges that there is a steady effort and propaganda to discredit the wooden type. Reciting the record of wooden ships built under the jurisdiction of the shipping board, Senator Fletcher said 367 vessels were launched up to No vember 20, of which 9S have been com pleted and 76 are in service. In ad dition, he said, work, has commenced on 193, and contracts were let but were not started on 171. ' Of the latter the shipping board has cancelled 4S con tracts and authorized the cancellation of 100 more. "This has been made." said Senator Fletcher, "because it is found that the board will have more of those ships than it can economically utilize, par ticularly when it takes' into considera tion the 400 steel ships built on the Great Lakes. "No doubt, too the board is influ enced by the propaganda against the wooden ships and the many false re ports put into circulation concerning them, and influencing the public mind to conclude that they are unseaworthy and almost worthless. Some of the wildest, most absurd rumors have been put into circulation about them." Only three of the government wood en ships have been lost. Senator Fle't cher stated the Coos, the Blackford and the Dumard. The wooden steam ers. Senator Fletcher asserted, have been operated successfully overseas and coastwise.- - .

COMMISSION Tallahasse'e," Fla.,' Nov.' 29'. Abolition of the state railioad commission was asked of the Florida legislature today by Governor Catts. on the ground that the commission is not necessary dur ing government operation of railroads and telegraph and telephone lines; If railroads' and wire companies are returned to private ownership later, the message said, -the commission may be re-established. Meanwhile tho gov ernor contended, it is ,an unnecessary expense", to : the state.- , ' . .,.c i '-.v WOULD CONSOLIDATE TWO GOVERNMENTS (Continued (from Pase. Onei. meetings of the chamber in many many weeks, and what was most pleas ing to the officers was the presence of so many new faces. At the convening of the meeting, presided over by President Roger Moore, the object of the meeting was stated from the chair. Mr. Moore. en umerated some of the many accomplish ments since the new regime assumed the administration of the chamber's affairs several months ago. From his recital it may be seen that no small amount of good has been accomplished but there was a marked absence of the feeling "we have done enough. ' Hon. John D. Bellamy opened the discussion on the matter of consolidat ing the city and county governments and it later became general with not ( a word uttered opposing the proposi-' tion. With the view of 'getting their views from a legal standpoint, the at torneys present were first called on by the president to express their opin ions, dealing with the legal side. In addition to Mr: Bellamy, Woodus Kel lum, W. P. M. Turner and Louis J. Poisson were present and discussed the matter, and while it appeared that it might require considerable legisla tion, it seemed the unanimous opinion that the thing could be accomplished. It was pointed out, doing away with the county is impossible but they could see no reason why the powers of a municipality could not be conferred upon the board of county commission ers, giving the chairman the full power as mayor. M. S. Willard, formerly chairman of the board of county commissioners, was among others who expressed them selves 'upon the request of the chair. He thought a consolidation would work to the best interest' of the people at large, and would certainly save a large sum that the people have to pay in taxes to maintain a set of employes for both governments. Under the pres ent procedure there is no head to the county. The chairman of the board of commissioners has no authority over the various branches of the gov ernment, about the extent of his au thority being to fix the hour for open ing and closing the office of the regis ter of deeds. However, the main argument wor for reduction in the taxes, which Mr. Bel lamy estimated would be from above three per cent, as at present, to about two and one half per cent. This would come through the consolidating of the road forces of the county and the street forces of the city; the elimination of a great many employes, and numerous other ways of lowering the cost of two governments. With the two consolidated it would be necessary to maintain but one force for collecting taxes; the police depart ment of the city and the cheriff's office could be consolidated; it would not be necessary to duplicate in road and street building machinery, as one out fit could be used on the streets and the roads. It was estimated that in salaries alone the reduction in the cost of operating the new form of gov ernment would amount to between $75,00 and $100,000 per year. For in stance, one of the speakers stated, there are now seven or eight attorneys paid by the city and county for dif ferent purposes. The matter was brought to a head by a motion by E. T. Taylor that a committee be appointed to confer with the legislation committee and report back at a subsequent meeting. This, however, was amended by t George P. Galvin putting the body on record as endorsing the movement and refer it to the legislative committee to in vestigate before further action is taken. President Moore urged that should any one present be opposed to the plan that he so express himself, "but no opposition was forthcoming With the disposition of the govern ment matter the discussion of carni vals was taken us. For the purpose of drawing out the views of the gath ering W. H. Stone, who stated in the outset that he was not favoring car nivals, asked for reasons why a car nival should not be allowed to show here. It had the desired effect and many expressions were given, everyone beirfg favorable to barring such at tractions from ' the city under any circumstances. It was stated that there is nothing elevating or educational about carnivals but on the other hand an illustration was given by Mr. Bel lamy, which proved conclusively that the moral effect on a community is very undersirable. After a lengthy discussion the fol lowing resolution was introduced by J. M. Solky and unanimously adopted by the chamber: "Resolved: That the chamber of commerce express its appreciation to the board of health for its very wise action in prohibiting the appearance of a carnival show in tRe city of Wil mington and that, in accord with the action of. Its executive committee, the chamber condemn traveling or profes sional carnival attractions and register its vigorous. protest against such form of attraction showing in Wilmington, and, further be it "Resolved: That the chamber of commerce instruct its legislative com mittee to consider the matter and have legislation prohibiting the appearance l All Charge Sales Made Joday Qo on 1 I January 1st Sills j T Buy now for Christmas.

The fuel situation was another mat ter of interest that came up for dis cussion. The present situation in this regard was outlined by M. S. Williard, county fuel administrator. As he sees it a solution of the coal supply has about been reached and the only thing that he expects to be called on to as sist in is that of increasing the supply of wood, and if possible, obtain a re duction in prices, which seems out of the question at the present high cost of labor. The appointment by the president of a committee to make recommendations was authorized. A great deal of time was consumed In the discussion of the live stock in dustry and as to inviting the North Carolina Live Stock association to hold Its 1919 convention in .thi city.
