About 175,0004u5he18 of tjlieat and corn were destroyed or damaged. Both of these are believed to have been of incendiary origin, brought about by enemies. » The same day I'Mdystone Ammu nition plant, near Chester, Pa., wan blown up. About 120 persons were killed outright and more than a hun dred others seriously injured. This, too, is believed to have been the re sult of a foul plot. Then does it not behoovn the country to guard against foes on every band? The Negro Not Disloyal. A number of exaggerated reports of attempts on the part of German spies and enemies of this country to arouse tho negroes against the United Slates Government have gained currency, but when run down they havo come to naught. It is not believed that this country has any thing to fear in the way of disloyalty on tbe part of tho no>iro, and when the real test comos he will bo found as loyal as any other class of our citizenship and as willing to bear his part of the burden of defending this country from foreign - foes. A number of the loaders of the negro ruco havo already spoken out in ringing terms of loyalty. lieader Kitchen of tho lliuse has copie in for his share of criticism for tho part ho took in opposition to tho resolution declaring tbe existence of a state of w»roti tho pail of the Im perial German Government against the United plates. To say the least of it, it Was ill-timed at this critical juncture. Mr. Kitchen, if he will, can redeem himsolf by get ting squarely behind tho adminis tration to put the country in a state of thorough preparedness for any event that the war may develop. A good citizen, a few .days ago in the presence of the writer, suggested that in the eveut of unseemly misbehavior of Mexi co toward this country at this time, that the negroes be furnish ed the necessary equipment and given loave to take that country and have it for theirs. It was but a grim joke, but their ability to do it is scarcely to be doubted. Cuba has declared war against Oermany; so has a number of the Central and South American repub lics. They are following tho load of the I'nited States, because the ruthless warfare of tho German government is striking thom as hard ae it strikes the United Stated. Tho first call to arms made on tho men of FaycttevUle was ans wered by 100 young men who are drilling for service. The Stars and Btrl|>e* float over the Confederate Soldiers- Home In Raleigh, along with tho State Flag, for tho first time since the Institu tion was founded.

Circulars CONGRESSMAN KITCHIN. £ Charlotte Observer. Mr. Claude Kitchin, of North Car- r olina, leader of the dominant party t [in the House of Representatives, b will have some measure of support t the country at large by reason d of his stand against the war decia- * ration, while on the other hand I he will get all tug criticism and C condemnation M was looking for, 1 and possiwj' more than he ex pec tea. f Kftchin's conscience seems to 1 be much in the way of his useful- I ne»» as a Congressman. It is cer- i tainly fatal to his usefulness as a I leader of the Democratic organiza- I tlon. His sense of duty to him self is in direct conflict with the i duty he is supposed to owe his country. The position which Lead- 1 er Kitchin elected to take assumed a graver aspect when it became of utilization by the opponents ol the Government for strengthening this opposition and drawing to their side, the votes of many who otherwise would have stood ny ttu President and the country. It is doubtful if there would have bfcen a corporal's guard of opponents but for the influence exerted by Mr. Kitchin. The Jflorth Carolina Congressman was used by the paci fists as an instrument for bracing up the weak-kneed and to bring them to the point of voting against the resolution upon which the hon or and safety of the nation depend ed. In fact, a group of these paci fists besought Leader Kitchin to time his address so that it would prove jpspecially advantageous in catching this doubtful element, ano Leader Kitchin lent hfmself to the scheme. He dropped the standard of Democratic leadership and bold ly carried the banner of rebellion against the government. He had wrestled in prayer over the mat ter and was influenced by a con viction of conscience which forbade him to follow the President, t The right In to follow the dictates of his eon science will not be denied. The man who would not be trua to his conscience would scarcely bj true to either himself or his country, out i the question is whether this obedi ence to the acute conscience which obsesses Mr. Kitchin does not dis ' qualify him as a leader—nay, even ' more—as a member of Congress i whose function* will .»e that of a i war Congress through the culmi nating force of circumstances witu which the nation found itself sur ' rounded. In the course of his elaa ' orate anti-war argument. Mr. Kitch i In found himself a defender of. anil ] an apologlaser for Germany. He in stanced the situation now surround r Ing Germany In justifying the char r acter of the submarine warfare I which that country is now waging i against America anu all neutral Na j lions, when the world knows it is this same relentless and ruthless ' method employed .>y which lias wrought this country in to the war,and which the United s States is joining with Great Hrit , ain and the Alljea to suppress that the war may of>" brought to a speedy end. The Administration " would defend our rights and help ' to atop the war. Leader Kitchin t would have the United States give 0 aid to Germany through Inaction, through a sacrifice of Natioaa. nonor, through an abandonment of ' the rights of a neutral country, • through submission to continued - wrongs, and thus prolong a strug , gle with which the world has bo bccome sickened. There are many people who will be. found in, accoru with Mr. Kitchin in his idea* as to the discharge of a conscientious • duty. It may bo said that he de , scrted the Nation In time of its [ need. Having cleared his con science, and the Government having spoken through its rightful consti • tutlonal voice—Congress of the • United States—he admits that it be -1 comes "the patriotic duty of the , people to give loyal, earnest and netne kubmisslon and obedi i nee,'' ll.l l.ing it plain that he In -1 ten.is fc.x'n' loyal servlco to the country Kof he failed his State iinJ tiio Nation In a duty which I th-,v liau n .'hi to expect of him, ; ap.l toi t'le (tilormance of which he »i«s morally obi gated. I Postmaster General Burleson has ! cancelled leaves of absence of all postal employes "in anticipation of unusual duties which will be im posed upon the postal service thru the existence of war." Those do ing military duty are exempted in the order. Charges that an excessive cam paign fund was used by Senator Sutherland, Republican, in tho West Virginia election last fall, have been referred to the Senate committee for Investigation.

One of .the wonders of the ropean war has been the health of 1 the men at the front. Aa a mat- 1 terof tact, the pdvance made In the science of disease prevention dnrio£srtiis war ha* reversed the records of past wars. Despite the I horrors of trench life and war con ditions, the death rate of the British and French soldiers from I sickness has been as low as 3 per thousand as compared with 6 per thousand among males of military age in times of peace. It is re membered in this connection that the army consist# of picked men, that there is no illness and deaths due to conditions such as bad hearts, etc., but even this fact does not account 4or the good health of the soldiers joinder war conditions. There is a reason, howeveV, and in the main it is because each offi cer and each man is required to be a sanitarian. For example, if an order demanding cleanliness in the trenches be issued it'is sent from officer to man and each is required to see that his particular "dug out" or section of trench is kept clean. Thus, each individnal keeps his section clean and the whole ariny area is kept clean. In France the station bath house plays an important role in the prevention of diseases, partienlar ly typhus fever. When a l-atal lion comes out of the trenches i after ]>erhaps a two weeks' stay, it is dirty or infected with lice. The soldiers are marched in squads i to the bath house and are givfh ' so many minutes to*luxuriate in i these baths of hot water and soap. Afterwards they are given wash i od, sterilized undeiclotljing and I socks, and their uniforms which ■ meanwhile have been dis'nfected with hot steam. This suffices to kill lice and their eggs which are deposited In the seams of the ■ clothing. The amount of typhoid in-the British army has been almost neg i lible. This fact is attributed - mainly to anti-typhoid inocula tion and sanitary precautions • taken in regard to the disposal of i excreta which is burned or buried. - Other precautious taken in the i army against diseases were the i chlorination of water, prevention i of breeding places for flies, in - spection and care of all food, rapid i removal of all cases of infectious - diseases, and rest stations.

But- this does ntft meau walking in and abont the house or standing on yonr feet while at work. It means going for a walk In the open air and sun shine, relaxing mind and body, leaving cares behind, and enjoy i ing walking for the good it will do. As spring comes on the body re quires extra attention. It needs toning np in order to properly ad just itself to the change of season, and to completely recover from the bad effect* of high tempera tures and indoor living dnring the winter. But drugs, pills and purgatives are not needed. They do more harm than good. Spring tonics that are worth while are exercises that will take yon out in the open air, sufficient and regu lar rest of mind and body, and a diet mainly of fruits and vege tables. Walking every day in the open air in particularly recommended, whether it be walking to work or walking for health sake. As to the health value of walking, Dr. William A. Howe says: "This means of improving health, like fresh air, is within the reach of most people. Its energizing influence should be more widely utilized. A reason able distance should be walked every day, regardless 'of weather conditions. It is not well to walk so rapidly or so far as to induce fatigue from which one does not promptly recover. Neither is it advisable to walk rapidly in the fiioe of a strong wind, or 011 a rough road, or in ascending a hill. Unless already accustomed to walking it is far belter to begin by going a short distance each ■lay, at a moderate pace, grad ually increasing the distance and speed." Miss Margaret Wilson, the Presi dent's daughter, has handed the Rea Cross her paeronal check for tl,ooo the proceeds of her spring concert tour. The money goes to a fund for the use of American soldiers and sailors. Miss Wilson will make another tour to earn money for the cause. Spring.
