ARE WE AWAKE ON THE WAR.
Wounded British Officer Declares Allies
Alone Saved Amenca From Rav
i(es of the Hyn.
"For the life of me I don't see
bow you can understand there i
a war on," said i Captain David
Fallon of tte British array, wbo
spoke to a crowded house at the
Lyric Theatre la-t Wednesday
morning. We in America had
leen going along in our easy,
looae way for bo many years and
paying no attention to world af
fairs that it is hard tor us to un
derstand how the problems of
Eurote can so vitally affect us.
Germany has been taking advan
tage of our conditiou hero all
these years, said Captain Fallon,
and had ' definitely planned to
pmflt thereby. After overrun
ning Europe the Huns fully in
tended to invade America and
make us pay for all the cost cf
the war and for the years of prep
arion so expensive to the Kui
ser'sarmies. Belgium and Franco
woke up in time to save the world
however, said the British fighter,
'if it hadn't ,bee'n. for the Allies
you in America would ha ye got
what Belgium got," he declared.
Jt is foolish, he said, for any of us
to think that Germany coul I not
easily have invaded and overrun
this nation if the Allies had not
stopped then-.
"You ought, to go down on
y ur knees-atyl thank God for
fie real people who saved you
from being .blowu to. hell.". He
t ld how he and his men came all
the way from Australia, ten thou
and miles from the fight to help
Bave humanity. 20,000 men were
expected from that country, but
now already 400,000 have gone,
not drafted, be said, but every
man a volunteer. "We have lost
100,000 men lighting for you."
Captain Fallon then turned to
a deccriptiou of the fighting
methods of-the Germaus. "We
nre dealing with scientific brute,
aud not with human bungs as we
understand the word, said Cop.
tain Fallon. He told bow his
own men bad gone out under a
flag of truce at evening to succor
and bring in their wounded, and
bow the Germans, who bad rec
ognized aud nnswered the flag.
fel! down iu the front line and un
covered a. bell of machine gun fire

mans had beheaded all the Brit
ish wounded and impaled their
beads on bayonets. At another
time the captain and a reigeant
caine Upon a German trench
wlndi contained six wouuded meu
who cried "Kntneiad" and beg
ged for help. He sent dowu the
sergeant mto the dugout to give
them first aid and they murdered
him. The next time bis men
came upon such a trench and the
German? again cried for help
tbey, inquired bow many was
1 down there. .When the Germans
answered six, the British replied,
well here comes a couple souve
nirs. Divide them between you'
and they, tossed over two bombs.
The intrepid little- Irishman
who will go through life with his
right hand useless and fourteen
other scars upon I) is body, told
of the awful task before the first
British troops who went into the
; battle. They were outnumbered
four to Dne, bnt they kept the
Germans back by giviug their
, lives. Captain Falleu went into
one attack with 1,000 men and
42 officers. He was the only olli-
cer to return and but forty seven
I men came back with him. Now
the thing is changed, - he said,
and the Allies have as many men
the Germans. He warned a
gainst any pessiinism. sftyinjj "if

The North Caroline Cheese Industry.
Greensboro Daily News
People "of that limited class
who get full value out of their
newspapers, who neverallowany
t hing important to escape with
out at least know iug something
about it, were aware that cheese
manufacturing has been, estab
lished in certain sections of the
mountains of North Carolina,
But the agent of thecheese man
ufacturers, Mr. Thomas, who has
been calling on the grocers, says
that hardly one in ten of t h e ra
know there is such an industry.
The average grocer is a busy
man, and the fact of the Carolina
cheese industry has not hitherto
presented itself to his business.
And jierhaps not more than a
minority of the Daily News will
pay much atttentiou tirthe sto
ry, published elsewhere, orthede
velopment of the manufacture of
cheese in Ashe, Alleghany and
Watauga, but Greensboro deal-
ers who have ordered a stock of
these rich little cheeses, will prob-
ably begiu to have some inqui
ries about them. There looks to
be a great future industry in
cheese m the restricted section
section where its manufacture is
made possible by altitude and
climate, especially since the by
product is found to be as valua
ble, converted into pork, as the
cheese content of the milk itself.
These people of the high, fer
tile tabMiiiid to the northwest
have magnificent food resources.
r ully developed and with ade
quate transportation,' which
would be implied in full dev. lop
ment, they could just about feed
the State; what with their meat,
cabbage, potatoes and dairy pro
ducts. Such beginnings of rail
way development as they have
are rathor more to var.l trie out
side than toward theirown state.
It is unfortunate for all of us
that North Carolina statesman-
ship has not directed itself more
emphatically in the past to the
building of railways and high
ways Imkuia; up the mountain
country with the interior. There
are comparatively few things
that can be marketed with prof
it, and such poor outlets as ex
ist are rather inure towardd the
north and west. If we would give
them, roads, or assist them to
build them, they would give in
tenor merchants a magnificent
tradiug section, and they would
give us food in exchange.

command of a tank in one bat
tle, this being named Bazzle-Daz-
zle and called "Razzy" for short.
He told of sweeping away lines
of wiiv, goina over trees and
of pushing down an old sugar
refinery that had ben concreted
and uirtdo into a fort by the Ger
mans. They finally ran ' Ruzzy"
into a pitfall fixed by the Huus

out. A German guu got the
range and a shell took off the
top and killed or wounded about
half of the men. Theotherscrawl-
ed out and made their way back.

From the Republican, Mt Gib

teresting experience some time
ago, when a young gentleman
came to' this office and asked for
'i copy of the Morrow County Re

tully when a copy was handed
him, and then said: 'Now 1 know.'

we enquired. "My wif Bent me

and tho clerks named everything

and I'll never jro home without
