Shall a Long Honorable Record Be Broken With Shame and
Failure The Situation is Critical Over One-Third of Coun
ty 's Allotment Must Be Raised in 2 Days. ,
To the Public:
Our honor is at stake the honor of every son and daughter of
Robeson. Robeson has had a long and an honorable history. Grey-headed
veterans tell the story of the part played by her gallant sons in the
Uvil war. History has recorded the noble deeds of her women whose
support alone kept the armies in the field. The records in the treasury
at Washington show that up to this good hour Robeson has fully met
every demand the Government has made upon us. Yet now, when the
struggle seems nearly won, when victory is about to perch upon our ban
ners, calamity is about to befall us. Having Hpy our full duty in every
Liberty Loan, we are about to fail in what promises to be the last loan
to which we will ever be called upon tosubscribe. Would it not be more
than hard to fail at this hour ? Will the sons and daughters of Robeson
permit it? I know they would not if they but realized the seriousness
of the situation. Yet I solemnly and earnestly say that the situation is
more than serious it is almost desperate! But two more days remain
of the campaign! All gone but two days, yet we have not raised even
two-thirds of our allotment! Unless there is a very large increase in
subscriptions in these next two days, when the record is made up on the
night of October 19th, but one word will be written after the county of
Robeson, and that word will be Failure! Such a result would bring
heart-sickness to some who have labored day and night to bring our
people to a sense of their duty and their obligation.
Influenza should not be allowed to hold us back. It is not nearly so
dangerous as bullets. Suppose Pershjng's men held back because they
were afraid of German bullets? If they are not afraid of bullets, shall
we let influenza keep us from our duty? If a house-to-house canvass
has not been made of every neighborhood in the county, but two days re
mains to do it. I appeal to every patriot to see that his neighborhood
is canvassed and the returns sent to some bank before the close of bus
iness on October 19th.
Those who have subscribed to but 'small amounts must increase their
0Q b SuiAnq Amp siq ouop seq aq sniiq umu ou aq -suoiduDsqnf
bond. Many a man who has bought $500 worth of bonds is more of a
slacker than another who has bought only $50. It is all a question of
ability, of doing your fair share hr accordance with your property in
vests. JNot until you have subscribed until it tirst hurt and then
ceased to hurt and gave you pleasure, can it be counted that you. have
done your part.
Any man can buy. I am authorized by the Lumberton banks (and
I know all other county banks will do the same) to state that they will
p urchase bonds for any customer and allow such customer to pay for
same at the rate of $1 per week for each $50 bond bought. If you do
not wish to take advantage of this, but wish to buy on the regular in
stallment plan, or for cash, then do as thePresident did borrow the
money. Any bank will give such customer preferred attention and pre
ferred credit. After this loan is over no man who failed to do his duty
.o this loan will get any accommodation at any bank until the needs of
those who did their duty have been first fully met.
When this campaign is over two lists will be made public: The first
wall be a list of honor, containing the names of each subscriber and the
amount subscribed by each subscriber. The second will be a list of
shame and of dishonor a list of those who were slackers, to whom the
cal of duty and of patriotism melwit nothing, men who were content to
let' others assume a burden that belonged- to them. In this crisis there
are but two classes of men patriots and traitors. He who is not for me
is against me! He who will not. lean to the Government is daily giving
the German monsters the use of his money by crippling the ability of
his own Government.
Men and women of Robeson! I appeal to you for this last time to lay
Sside every other duty and from now until Saturday night give your en
tire time to the interest of the Liberty Loan, bearing in mind that no
subscription will avail unless it is in thhands of some bank by Satur
day night, October 19th. L 5 .. ,

If it does not brine a capitulation
which may be more than unconditional
surrender, allied diplomats and Ameri

The dispatch of the President's re
ply was followed by the issue of this
formal statement at the White House
by Secretary Tumulty:
"The government will continue to
send over 250,000 men with their sup
plies every month and there will be
no relaxation of any kind."
Quite outside of the formal phrase
of a dinlomatic document that was
President Wilson's word to the world
that he had no thought of stopping tne

The Senate chamber rang with the
annlause of Senators as the Presi
dent's answer was read a few minutes
after it had been announced at the
State Department. Senator Lodge,
the President's chief critic in his
course, until today, issued a statement
evnressiner his ratification at the
President's decision. Opinion at the
Capitol and throughout official Wash

The official note which will convey

In the light of this situation the

had come to try first for an armistice

One lutstandmff point wbicn does
not appear in the President's note a
point on which the world has been
asking questions can oe answered
now.
When the President declared that
the wrong done to France when Ger-
manv took Alsace-Lorraine should be
righted, he meant that Alsace-Lorraine
should be returned to France.
Those who contend that the Presi
dent's decision arranges the situation
for something more than an uncondi
tional surrender base it on tne argu
ment that he has now passed the stage
where he mieht have accepted a sur
render of the German military and
naval forces and left the Hohenzollern
autocracy on its throne.
Mr. Wilson according to this view
has now finally informed the Ger
man people, that if they want peace
they can only attain it by getting rid
of the kaiser and his system.
(The President's reply to Germany
will be found elsewhere in this issue
of The Robesonian.)
RELAXATION NOW WOULD
MEAN DEFEAT.
After writing his reply to the
German peace offer Monday af
ternoon President Wilson renewed
his urgent request for support of
the fourth Liberty loan in the fol
lowing formal statement to the
American people:
"The reply of the German gov
ernment to my note of inquiry dat
ed Oct. 8th gives occasion for me
to say to my fellow-countrymen
that neither that reply nor any
recent events have in any way di
minished the vital importance of
the Liberty loan. Relaxation now,
hesitation now, would mean defeat
when victory seems to be in sight;
would mean years of war instead
of peace upon our own terms.
"I earnestly request every pa
triotic American to leave to the
governments of vthe United ''States
and of the allies the momentous
discussion initiated by Germany
and to remember that for each man
his duty is to strengthen the hands
of these governments and to do it
in the most important way now
immediately presented by sub
scribing to the utmost of his abili
ty for bonds of the fourth Liberty
loan. That loan must be success
ful. I am sure that the American
people will not fail to see their
duty and make it successful.-
