With the greatest war in history to write about, there is little for the jwar correspondents to do except sit I In stuffy offices and edit copy, or draw on their imaginations for details ,to clothe bulletins and skeleton re sorts with the flesh and blood of iactuality. The glory of the war cor resDondent has departed. It reached its zenith in our Spanish war, which seemed to be waged' primarily for the purpose of providing brilliantly written newspaper dispatches. Then, for the first time, means of commun ication were adequate and a -friendly government was tolerant of khaki -clad journalists. In the Russo-Japanese war the correspondents were for the most part corralled In Toklo, and such big guns as Richard Hard ing Davis were reduced to writing pretty stories about tea houses. In the last Balkan war commanders kept the newspaper men at a safe and Inglorious distance, though occasion ally one broke through the lines for a brief splurge. Now, with new Austerlltzes and Sedans and Waterloos and Trafalgars to be fought, with a more tremendous battleground and a conflict of vaster forces and Interests than have ever clamored for newspaper exploitation, the hostile nations are fenced about with a censorship that bars corres pondents, muzzles the native press and padlocks the wires save for such matter as the administration sees fit to pass. The news of course, will reach us colored somewhat by the medium through which It passes en route. London in general, will be the clear ing house for the news, and will relay It and Interpret It to America. But from the front we shall get mostly fragments, with only an occasional orderly narrative. We need not ex pact brilliant and comprehensive stories written from personal obser vation of battles and manoeuvers, or personal interviews with the leading actors in the drama. PATRIOTISM. It takes war to make the world realize the comparative pettiness of all ether conflicts. At the mere pros 'pect of Great Britain being involved la the continental struggle, the Irlnh controversy which had threatened the integrity of the empire melted awky like mist at least for the time. Truculent John Redmond announced in the house of commons, amid wild cheers, that the government might send away every soldier, and Ireland would be protected from Invasion by th united Catholic of the south and the Protestants of Ulster who but the other day were ready to shoot each other down. The militant suffra gette, confronting greater militancy, announced a trurt. Even the Social ists of Gennonr, Franc and Austria, who la principle are implacably op posed to warfare, have yielded to na tional need and suspended their propaganda. Ia America, though our peril I In direct and concern Industry' and commerce rather than human life and nationality, the effect ha been Just a marked. Ther was an Instant and of partisan bickering. In Washington. The organisation of the federal re serve board, was Imperative, to place the cation' credit on a safe basia Vary well the bitter fight against the confirmation of Paul M. Warburg la the senate was turned to friendly eenfsrenoe- and prompt approval. Congress submerged all differences and all quest for party advantage In the passage of amendment to the emergency currency bill providing for a volume of government guaran teed currency a larg a our nation al debt Jo th face of . eoramerce by ahifteaa ,M and clogged ports, Interests that had quarreled for decades over plana to restore Amert can snipping permitted the passage of a bill toward that end without de bate or roll call. No less notable was the patriotic action of the western railroads, on the edge of a great strike that would have paralyzed traffic and might have precipitated a panic With but a word from the President pointing out the gravity of the situation, they agreed to arbitrate. In this time of general uncertainty and vague alarm, we are as unani mous as are the French or the Ger mans. Whether workmen, farmers, merchants, bankers or politicians, we are not partisans but Americans, liv lng up to the patriotic duty of safe guarding our prosperity and the hu manitarian duty of performing what. ever service we may for the help of our less fortunate European breth ren. According to those who are leading the campaign for the improvement of the Asheville-Weaverville road it will be necessary for the property own ers along the road and others Inter ested to raise 15,000 In order to have the county provide the rest of the money and labor. It is said that the greater part of this money has al ready been subscribed. The property owners along this im portant road and the people of Weav ervllle can well afford to f urnish the $5,000 in order to get an excellent and permanent road. In fact, they cannot afford not to furnish it. Such a road as is planned will greatly Increase property values from here through Weaverville and the proper ty owners therefore will be making good investments in subscribing to the road improvement fund. r, COOL CLIMATE. An Eskimo was sighing before his igloo door; the snow around was fly ing, which made him rather sore. The ice was in his galways, the snow was In his ears, and evermore and always the climate froze his tears. "Dogrgone this beastly blizzard," the Eskimo remarked, "it chills a fellow's gizzard and keeps his larynx barked. Ah, would that I were living in those United States, where nature's always giving sunshine to the skates! I've heard It said the weather is often there so hot that people get together and cuss delightful thought! They have a summer season when blizzards do not blow, and no one thinks of freezin' or dying In the snow! Oh, It must be delightful to live in such a clime, away from every frightful old elemental crime. Hut Doctor Cook Informed me that folks don't like the heat (the information warmed me with anger, I repeat); they don't ap preciate It, the climate they have there; In-fact, some people hate, and rant around and swear." His medita tions soured him ho might have saved his breath; a polar bear de voured him, and then It froze to death. 1VALT MASON. Copyright, lrl4, by the Adams News paper service.

HONESS, ;. OPTOMETRIST and OPTICIAN 64 Patton Ave. Opp. Poet office THE TJMPS AND TJS (Continued From Page Three). Watson was given usual errorless support. Kaufman of- the Twins pitched a good game yesterday, for he only1 allowed the Mountaineers three hits up to the ninth inning. It looked like things would break our way in the ninth, but "Doc" Wat son and Frye, two of our heaviest hitters failed to connect with the ball and the game ended with Ashe vllle the loser. Bumb accepted 12 chances on first yesterday and got away with all of them. Hickman was the star of the game insofar as batting was concerned for he secured three hits and made one run out of four times at bat. Greensboro News: "One thing the Patriots have to be thankful for Is that we have not got whole bunch of games with those Mountaineers at present T.he Boxers are treating all clubs alike and are coming strong, and if the season was not so far gone would make 'em all hustle to be ahead of the Boxers." Raleigh Times: 'The Mountaineers, after finishing the past series with the Twins, left their home grounds to be gone two weeks, playing every club In the cir cuit before returlnz to home except the Patriots. A tough proposition Is before Manager Corbett, but his men are putting up a good ajticle of ball these days and will bear watching from now on. Corbett has declared that he will not end In the second di vision." The fact that "Specs" Meadows has been sold to the Boston Nationals kill be good news to his many friends in this league, for "Specs" has friends and scores of them who will wish him well In the big company. Pete (Horseshoe) Boyle Is doing the Job of manager In good style, but Pete will find what several others in this league already know, namely that managing a tallend club is no chllds play. ' Greensboro News: While Jim Kelly was signing Scott he received a blow when he was In formed that Lee Meadows might be out of the game for the balance of he season. For the past several days Meadows has been complaining of soreness In his elbow and yesterday e had his arm examined under X-ray and the doctor discovered a strained ligament and instructed Meadows to lay off for a few weeks, which will greatly weaken Jim's pitching staff."
