It demands free trade with other nations of the world. It calls for world-wide rights. While Ajnericans have as much right on the seas as they have within our bor ders, Germany said to the people of the .United States, "Stay off." No nation had a right to make such an order. Germany had no right to kill our men, women and children and de stroy our property. When she did this she violated the rights of every American citizen. America entered the war to de fend her rights and to uphold the spir it of democracy. Democracy is a spirit with a conscience. It is better' that Americans give their lives and die than for the American spirit to be overthrown. If we had yielded our rights to the seas Germany soon would have asked us to yield our rights at home. Germany is the oit teret enemy to political freedom the woJW has ever known. A nation that will not defend its rights is a coward ly nation and one of short duration. "German autocracy challenged American democracy and democracy will win. However, it will take a united people to win the struggle. The one iaea and opinion ot the Amer Plan of Organization of County Board of Agriculture Approved by County Commissioners. As stated in Thursday's Robeson ian, the county commissioners at their meeting last Monday approved a plan submitted by Dr. A. H.
