The first, second, third, and' fourth Liberty loans were oversubscribed: likewise the Red Cross, and again the war savings stamps quota (by the way, I just learn from, the -office of CoL F, y. Fries, state director, that Mecklenburg went Into the 100 per cent class of 1 counties In the whole state), and. in everything else this city has been called upon to give or lend or buy, it has more than made good. , . .,- j i..-;r ..i .,v'v;;.,lv Now there are several reasons for the success of the united war work campaign. : There are so. many that It would be difficult to name them alL. But In the first place the organisation handling the work was as nearly per fect as is -possible to think of. , lien whose hearts were in" the work, and women .Who know the value of the work of the seven organisations, got right down to the matter and devel oped a great organization. . '.; ; ; " Then came the work of the Indi vidual members of the teams. Men whose time could not be purchased, regardless of the price offered, went out into the olty for days arid days, soliciting subscriptions.: Women who are averse to physical effort labored long and faithfully, assisting in the work of canvassing. The newspapers assisted materially by giving the exact facts in the case. Column after column of space was given fdr the reports of the "commit, tees, and business men gave a large amount of display advertising space which was used to good advantage, to tell further of the work of the agen cies for which the fund was beina- mined, and of the increasing needs; and last, but not least, the people, themselves gave and gave freely and gladly. That is, in most easel they gave freely. In a very few Isolated cases this was nof-true. In one, and I do not know the man's name, the committee was met by the statement that he had not given a dollar; he did not expect to give! a dollar and that he did not care what -anyone else gave. This man, I am told, ifl exceedingly well-to-do. He is a man who' has been spoken of as one of Small Pin Small Dos Small Price y J niTTLC IIIVER FOR CONSTIPATION tar Mood Um I test of Urn.

But In spite of these very, very few cases. the public responded in a most gratifying way to the needs of the boys in the uniform, through the rec ognised agencies. - In only one instance was the mat ter of religion broached, so tar as I can learn, and that case was where the man took advantage of the com bination of the seven organizations to take a shot at one of them with whioh he has long been at enmity. And our pride in the achievement of the city and county is all the great er when we look about-us and note the results in other counties of this state and of other states. And fur thermore, to the fact that the Joint national committee exended the cam paign period until tonight to give additional time to raise the quota. At the final meeting of the commit tee and workers "on Monday night General Chairman Arthur J. Draper made the statement that Charlotte is the most loyal city ' he knows. , I know others Just as loyal, but to none would I yield the palm for ex cellence In this regard. Her people,-1 believe time will show have not been given the consideration due in every regard and at all times. But this has no effect upon the heart of the right sort and the mind which holds Its equilibrium in the face of apparent ; Injustices. They -recognise their obligations to the fighting forces of the nation, ' and to the needs' of humanity, and when once they know the necessities there is never any question as to their willingness and their ability td perform. Therefore, for these and many other reasons I point out that Char lotte and Mecklenburg county have Just cause to be proud of the fact that the allotment for the united war work, campaign was oversubscribed and within the original time limit.

'And be sure to Include a NUX-IRON Order Received Suspending Far mer Light Saving Regulations by Fuel Administrator Little. Charlotte's "white way" may again be put in full operation after many months of partial darkness, the result of a fuel saving war regulation. J. H. Little, the. local administra tor, yesterday received an order from R. C Nortleet, of W.lnston-Salem, fed eral fuel administrator for North Carolina, stating that all orders sus pending the full lighting of streets and other places had been cancelled. f . The order authorizes completo sus pension of all restrictions relating to i the use orelertrtHghte 4n K1, vil lages and towns by any person, firm ' or corporation for street Illumination. display signs, announcements or signs on the exterior of any building or structure, or any billboard or other structure for display advertisements, announcements or signs or for illumi nating or, displaying any window, in any shop or store, provided current for the lights is generated by hydro-ik-ctrlc power. The order, however,, does not affect in any way lights generated or pro duced by the use or consumption of fuel. In regard to this latter class of lights, orders heretofore issued by the United States fuel administrator will remain in full force and effect until further orders. The current used In Charlotte Is produced by water power. J. R. CLARK victim of SPANISH INFLUENZA Funeral to Be Held Today at Mt Airy His Bride Also Seri ously III. Orders for the demobilisation of troop units at Camp Greene, which will result in the return to clyll life of from 1,500 to 2,000 soldiers, were received there yesterday, it was learn ed from official sources. : "Work pre liminary to the mustering out of these men is under way but none of the men will be given their liberty until, the proper discharge and other form's are received from Washington. These are expected today. In addition to the enlisted men. a number of commissioned officers will be mustered out of the army. Some will be retained on "the reserve list" and others will be released complete ly, according to the wish of the in dividual officer. The.e is at present an excess of officers at this ramp.. The units to be disbanded first are called development battalions, and tt was understood that as soon as the men in these outfits have been dis charged the men in the several so called "recruit camps" will be re leased. In the development battalions Is a relatively large number of men hav ing diseases of a nature that, in the view of army officers, makes it ad visable to hold the soldier until he is. well. Orders to this effect have been received filso. It was under stood that no soldier suffering from curdble disease which was contracted or which developed since the Individ ual has been In the army will be mustered out until he is considered cure. I Already a number of medical offi cers have been transferred from the base hospital at Camp Greene.. Ma jor Hatfield, a former governor of West Virginia. Is one of the medical officers who, has left this camp dur ing the past few days. While no officer at camp headquar ters would admit holding such a be lief. It was indicated In various ways that they would not be surprised to know that the number of men at this camp would be "very small" by January 1.
