The Mtojor about decided at one time that ho would not be a candidate for Congress again, but his colleagues in Cougress of all parties importuned him to abandon the idea of retiring, and the pressure was so spontaneous and overwhelming that he yielded. Daring the crisis of the pa«t three years he has been a most staunch supporter of ths administration and bis wisdom and courage has been a dependable asset. His colleagues felt that his country needed him, and he will go back for another term. THE WAR. The fight put up by the Italians Against the advance of the German and Austro-llungarian armies will go down as among the most valliant of tho war. Not only have the Ital ians thwarted the purposes of the enemy but they have destroyed large detachments of tho enomy's forces. Now that help has reached the Ital ians it is safe to say that the enemy will make nu furthor progress in that direction, unless their forces are very materially increased. On the Western front the Allied armies have made advances in the past week that surpass anything done for months almost. Important positions have boon takeu and held, and the Ilindenburg line has been broken. There are numbers and numbers of people who do not yet sePm to realize that this country is engag ed in the greatest war ever waged in the history of the world. It is not over yet, and will not be for months to come, unless the unfore seen , and unexpected happens. Those in a poaition to know, see ing it Shis way, It behooves every person to save everything that could or would be useful in helping to win. Especially Is this true as to Amorica, for she must »«t only provide for herself, but for the Allies us well. If America and her Allies fail, the pinch of hunger and self denial on other lines would be bliss us compared with whst America would suffer at the hands of Germany. Russia is divided, rfo there is no communication between the North west and Southeast. The element in possession of I'etrograd is try ing to make a separate peace with Germany under the dictation of Oerman officials. Kow that this ia the case, the Allies class them us enemies and will withhold any help from them. War .savings certificate stamps will be placed on sale on Dec. SW, or shortly thereafter.

The Doctor ays, "No Red Cross Christmas Seal has ever oeen sotd at Acme until this yearwe have already received an order from Mrs. T. V. Moore, chairman for three times as many as the first consignment, which has al ready been sold; at Clarkton, Mrs. P. A. Harrington, who came very near winning the pennant in the United States, for the largest per capita sale, last year;, sold 1,000 the first afternoon and has sent in for a second order; at Murphy, last year the sales amounted ta only 90(5 seals, but Miss Margaret To land, chairman has already sold 3,000 and made a second order; at Tryon last „veas the sale was 400, the first consignment to Mrs. R. S. JHrschner, chairman, was 1,000, she arranged with the Boy Scouts to conduct the sale and they closed them out the first afternoon, Mrs, Kirschner has made a second and third order, each one beinr* larger than the first, and we are expect ing to hear from her again soon; at North Wilkesboro the sale last year amounted to 7,166, but Miss rnnces Smoot, chairman, at North Wilkesboro, has already disposed 10,000 and ordered as many more. Those mentioned above are for the most part comparatively small places, but some of the larger places are doing as well.

First of all, they have protected the sea-borne trade of the Allies and of neutral nations (a) against direct attack by battle-units or groups of the German fleet; (b) against mines; (c) against subma rines. Second, they have blockaded the enemy's coasts. Third, they have fought five notable actions, four of them suc cessfully, and are ready and wait ing to meet the enemy whenever he elects to fight again. Fourth, they have effectively co-operated wjth the British and Allied armies through the trans portation of troops and supplies, and in bombardments and tocai blockades. Now, any one of these tasks, tinder modern war conditions, is herculean. To carry on all of them, simultaneously, and, in the areas of special danger, intensive ly, is a programme to stagger the imagination. Yet, it is beingdone, steadily aud surely, without fuss or exploitation. Such has been and such is today the worth and the' service of the British Navy. In man-power it has increased, since the outbreak of the war, from 140,000 to well over 350,000. In tradition and quality it has quickly identified itself with the spirit of its past.— George Herbert Clarke in Novem ber Southern Woman's. War Work at Navy Yards. Washington, D. C., Nov. 17, 1017.—Nearly 55,000 appointments were made to the forces of me chanics, helpers, and laborers at navy yards and other naval estab lisments daring the fiscal year ended June 30, 1017, and since that date appointments have been made in increased proportion. An appropriation of $7,500,000 is now being expended in the en largement of the great naval gun factory at Washington, which, when completed, will furnish em ployment for 4,000 or more skilled mechanics, in addition to the 8,- 000 already at work in the plant. In this mammoth factory, one of the best equipped and most inter esting in the world, are built the great guns for our war vessels, which carry to every country the message of America's ability to protect herself and to safeguard the rights of-her citizens wher ever they may be. The new naval" aircraft factory at Philadelphia, whijh will be completed this month, will also employ about 3,000 men. The workers who man such plants are of a superior class, and they feel a personal pride in turn ing out products that will stand the test of conflict with the arms of other nations. A considerable part of the building of war ves sels is also done in Government yards. - The United States Civil Service Commission,which is charged with the task of recruiting the ranks of this great civilian army through its widespread organization, is furbishing the men as they are needed. In certain trades, par ticularly those connected with shipbuilding, there is usually a shortage. Saiimakers, copper smiths, shiptitters, anglesmiths, blacksmiths, and machinists are especially needed. Women to operate power sewing machines are also in great demand. The representatives of the Civil Service Commission at the postoffices in all pities are the official recruit ing agents for this as well as other branches of the Civil Service. The Commission urges competent me chanics to offer their services to the Government at this time of great need. Driving Turkeys to Market. "Watauga Democrat.

They seem to be everywhere. And whether they read or not, and most of them do not, their ears must barn from time to timo. The air is everywhere electric with in dignation. Here is the blistering rhetoric of Th 6 Guardian: "Nero fiddling while Home burned was a far less odious figure tban the man of today who, while the whole civilised world is threat ened with destruction, looks on with internal delight that this great world-conflagration is help iug to swell his fortune. And while our lads are facing the dead ly gas, the whistling bullet, and the shrieking shell, and our cas ualty lists run into the thousands every month, this man, untouched by it all, unctuoush rubs his hands and thanks God for the profit which it meaus to him. "If this be patriotism, God save us from it. Better far to come out of the war maimed or blind in body, or with fortune clean spent in the heroic effort to free the world, than to come through it with a whole skin and a fortune greatly increased. "Stories have come to ns again aud again of men who have made hundreds of thousands and even millions of dollars out of the war, but they have come from men who told thein in sorrow and shame that Canadians and Eng lishmen should sink so low. "The only way to permanent wealth lies in the Christian high way of service, and when private greed forgets the other fellow it signs its owu death-warrant.
