Big. lot -Just received at Peterson & GIAL and PERSONAL DRAFT BOARDS LIKELY TO QUIT DECEMBER 10 They Seal Their Records That .Day Will Not be Used in Demobiliza tion Flans. When the local draft boards seal their records December 10, according to orders, it is likely that they will cease, their funcitons. At any rate, they will not be held for work in con-- i nection with demobilization ana me ! emnlovment of soldiers in civil pur suits. Information to this effect is contained in the following telegram from Washington, distributed to the local boards from Raleigh, being sent out bx the provost marshal general: "I am in receipt of the decision of the secretary of war this morning that it will not be necessary to continue the the organization of the selective ser vice boards in connection with the demobilization of the army. This clears the atmosphere apd makes it possible to propeed at once with the preparation of orders for closing up the provost marshal general's depart ment. Detailed instructions will be communicated in the near future. Mean time list the boards that have not yet completed the 19 to 36 and 18 year old groups and call upon them for reports by wire as to earliest date when such classification can be completed; also instruct all boards which have not yet forwarded their annual reports hereto fore" called for. to. do so at once. I very much desire that the selective boards will give the nation an example of efficiency in closing up administra tion." The local boards, some days ago, re ceived orders from Raleigh to proceed with the classification on 18-year-old men and to get their records in shape to be sealed on December 10. All the records will be securely preserved by local boards pending orders, when they will likely be sent to the adjutant gen eral's office in Raleigh and forwarded to the office of the provost marshal general to be kept for future reference Both the city and county boards have completed the classification work and are readv to seal the records with the exception of a few minor details, which will be attended to prior to tne tenm of the month.

WILMINGTON BOY COMMENDKD BY HIS SUPERIOR OFFICER Ensign C. E. Burnett Host Efficient Naval Aircraft Pilot- A letter praising the efficiency of his son, Ensign C. E. Burnett, of the avi ation service of the army stationed at Miami. Fla.. has been received by C. S. Burnett, HOT South Sixth street. from Lieut. Col. Bion J. Arnold, air "On the 17 Inst., your son. Ensign C. E. Burnett, now stationed at the naval air station. Miami, Fla., piloted me in U. S. Navy HS 2 flying boat 2038 from Miami, Fla., to Key West, Fla., and return. We left Miami at 12:34 p. m., with en accompanying flying boat whch got into trouble at Mara thon, -about twenty miles north of Key West and was compelled to come down. We came down to its relief at 2:10 p. m., and got off the water again at 2:45 and down at Key West at 3, and were in dock at 3:04. "wing to the delay caused by the break-down of the accompanying ship. we did not get started back until 7:20 p. m., and your son drove our ship straight and true to Miami, landing at the naval air station at 9:06 and into dock at 9:08, we having made the 145 ' miles in 1 hour and 40 min utes, or at th rate of approximately 84 miles per hour. I had planned to take the Florida East Coast railway train at Miami that night for Wash ington and had the pleasure of seeing 'this train leave Key West at 7 p. m. or 20 minutes ahead of the time we left, and of arriving in Miaml nearlv three and a half hours ahftnfl nt it .arrived at xz:20. This illustrates pretty well the difference between air and railroad travel At th nn tnat so rar as my observation went, you nave every, reason to feel proud of your eon's skill as a naval aircraft pilot." WILMINGTON MAN A MAJOR. Captain George Gillette of lOSth En gineers Is Promoted. Friends in Wilmington of Cnntntr, n - in .M connected with Tidewater Power com. pany. At the beginning of the trou ble with Mexico, Major Gillette organ ized a local company of engineers and saw service onthe Mexican border. Returning , "from Mexico Major" Gil lette and his company spent a- few months here and then went to Lumber ton where he was stationed for 'two or three ; months, from there going to Camp Sevier. After six" -tor- eight montns there, his company went over seaa.aa a', unit -of the 105th engineer MM DECLARES HE DOES HOT HATE HUN Says No Vindictiveness Should Be Felt. In His Thanksgiving Address Dr. (Men delsohn Urges That the Desire for Vengeance be Cast Asld Festival of Hanukkah. Eulogizing the spirit" ol! " thanksgiv ing and the feast of 4 Hanukkah, a Jewish festival celebrating the deli verance of the Hebrews of two, thous and years ago from the persecution of, their enemy, Dr. S. v Mendelsohn im - portuned his congregation Thursday, morning, to cleanse their "hearts Fo' ajj vindicative hatred of, the German race "He who cannot. pardon others cannot expect pardon for himself", he - reminds his hearers. The feast of .-Hanukkah or the festival of light, commenced Thursr day evening and continues eight 'days. Special services are being hsld at the Temple of Israel during this period. Dr. Mendelsohn said in part: "Today we are assembled . for . a special thanksgiving service in com pliance with the proclamation of the president, of the United States, part! of which reads: JThis year we have special and mo.ving reason to be grateful and to rejoice. God in His pleasure has given us peace. It has not come to us a mere cessation of arms, a re lief from the strain and tragedy of war. It has come as a great triumph of right. Complete victory has brought us not peace alone, but the confident promise of a new day as well in which justice shall replace war and jealous intrigue among nation, Our gallant armies have participated in a triumph which is not marred or stfined with any purpose of selfish agression. In a righteous cause they have won im mortal glory and have nobly served their nation . in serving mankind. God has indeed been gracious. We have cause for such rejoicing as revives and strengthens in us all the best tradi tions of our national history.' "Thiis characteristically Wilsonian. It has the right ring, the melodious sound of religion and humanity, and the duJcet resonance of his advocacy of righteousness and peace, and be sides, it manifests his due apprecia tion of the philospher's warning: 'Re joice not when thy enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth.' Do not exult over an' enemy's fall. 'It is but a weak and little mind' says Juvenal, 'that rejoices in vengenance.' Not to give vent to a malicious joy because of an adversary's defeat, but to give thanks unto the Lord for the great triumph of Right, for the immortal glory . won by our gallant armies in a righteous cause nobly serving our nation in serving man kind.' "For the Jews jthe revolution of time makes this day a double festival; for coincidentally with the Thanksgiving day which we are celebrating in com mon with our fellow citizens of all other denominations, we are preparing to inaugurate a peculiarly Jewish fes tival. Tonight our houses should be Illuminated in honor of another oc casion for thanksgiving the festival of Hanukkah. This Jewish festival, known also as the feast "of the Maccabees, or the festival of lights, was instituted 2033 years ago, and breathes the same spirit, the spirit of thankfulness for a great 'triumph of right,' without the suggestion of revelling in the discom fiture of the ancient persecutor of our race and religion". The festival of Hanukkah, which means dedication, was instituted not because our for- J bears, with the help of the Righteous Governor of the universe, had van quished the ruthless millions of An tiochus Epiphanes, but because God had helped them to repossess them selves of their homes from which their implacable enemies nad driven them, and particularly . because they were able to purify the temple of Zion, which the heathen had defiled by erecting- there a statue of, or an altar to Zeus Olimpius, and to rededicate it to the services of Jehovah. "Oh, that we all were now and ever animated by the spirit of both the pres ident's proclamation and he Jewish festival of Hanukkah! j "A pious legend relatee: 'As the Egyptians, plungingMnto the Red Sea In pursuit of the Heaven-redeemed Israelites, were whirled on its billows like stubble or sunk as lead In the mighty waters the ministering angels attuned a hymn of praise to the all just judge. The all-just and -all-loving father, however, silenced them with the exclamation expressive o displeasure at their -manifestation of relentless vindicativeness: "What while my creatures are .inking Into the sea, wou'ld ye exultingly , sing hymns!" "I, for my part,- can conscientious ly say that now the war is over 1 nourish no ill-will against our late ad versaries, no vindicative sentiment against the fallen enemy. And as or others, I must say with the psalmist: 'Lord, my heart is not haughty, neither are mine eyes lofty, nor do I exercise myself In things too high for me; and. Lppssibly because this is so, I cannot un derstand how one can permit vindicl tiveness to sway his soul and at the same time approaoh' the Lord who searcheth all hearts and understandetl all the immaginations of the thoughts praying: 'Forgive us our treaspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.' Do they forget that 'he Who will not pardon others must not hinHelf expect pardon?' "May, we all, be governed by the lofty spirit of our chief magistrate,' by the pure spirit of thanksgiving and by the spirit of Hanukkah". Thereby shall we hasten the day vhen all - tongues shall recognize and acknowledge1 the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man." CAPT. GAUSE SAYS "ALL WELL" Popular Wilmington Commander Ca bles Mrs,. Gause In Wilmington. Now that the war is all ended and the prospects are for an early and Just peace, it' will be especially gratifying to the hosts of friends of Capt. Thomas J. Gause and ' the men of his company ' to know that cablegram from him yes terday to-Mrs. Gause in this city sai that "all was well,"- which convey- ed"a world of "meaning to loved -ones and friends here as well as great satisfaction to' -the splendid company of young men under nlm. 1 From tlte address which the cable gram bore, it would appear that Capt. Gause and his company are pleasantly billeted and it may not be a long time in the future before they receive their orders for a return to the states.
