King George lias been advised to reconstruct his cabinet. King
George lias nothing on Preeident Wilton, as fas as that little item
is concerned.

to admit Thar he knows nothing about running a government. And

A- an incentive for increasing interest in the work of the Chamber
of Cicium-ri-e and making the citizens of Beaufort county hotter ac
quainted with tIio organisation, we would suggest that at the next
meeting of r lie ( Ijainlir. some steps l>e taken toward having a big
banquet or get-t"gether meeting during the early part of next month.
li has Ihimi i'mind in other cities that occasional affairs of tliia
kind do rt;oj-c toward keeping the Chamber of Commerce before tho
mind* ?>t the people than anything else.
The event could l>e made ono of great interest for this section.
Men of national reputation coul<L be secured as speakers and an en
leriaining program could 1** devised for ihe eujoymenbof those who
would attend.
We .-iiji-erely hope that tile Chamber will take this matter up at
the ii< \t meeting and we U?lipve that it will prove to be of immeasur
able Vnctit to the organization.
CH IMS f MA* BOX FOR THE SOLDIERS.
Mr. Robert R. Handy. a well-known local citizen, especially in
terested in military matters, ha.-* offered an excellent suggestion in
? lie? wax ..f remembering the Beaufort county hoys who are on the
Ix-i-'lPr. Mr. llandv suggest^ ihat ibe citizen? of the county make up
a uiu Christmas Im>x for the soldiers and in thin way show them that
they are appreciated by their home folks. Mr. Handy's letter, in
wli ifli he inukoi this suction, ready a.* follows:
"I.a-t slimmer, when President Wilson issued his call f<fr troops
f'-r Itorder service and as the numerous companies throughout the
country wen- leaving their home stations. they were breakfasted.
dim*d and snpprd and evry soldier in nearly every instance was sup
plieil with an extra package for future service. Washington, not
liavinjr a company at tlie time, what few hoys, whose patriotism
.??a used them to respond, left for the front unheralded, unfed and
with- mt the soldier'* 'God speed and CkmI hless you!' Xow don't yon
think if would lie the proper thing to atone for rhe past by getting up
? large Christina-* Wx and sending it to these hoys? It would {rive
them so tnwh cheer Mtid remind them, when they awoke on Christmas
morning. that although two >rr three thousand miles away from home,
their friends and loved ones still thought of them.
"There are jiInmii fifteen or sixteen I lean fort county boys with the
Fir-?t North Carolina Brigade at Camp Stewart, El Paso. 1 have
written Coloenl Ro<|m;in to send me at. once a complete roster of all
of them. Now 21 h t hriitmas is not so far awav and as it takes four
or five days to go to El Paso, I think it wise that some committee
gr-t t?. work on the inoveinent at once. Put it in the hands of a com
niittee of one of our Ladies' Societies and T guarantee that it will
prove a sm-eesg. Other towns will l>e doing this for their hoys.
Shall we let Washington and Beaufort county be outdone and shall
we |r-t the entire ramp i^'t the impression that, we care nothing for
our soldier*
SK W WAR MOXSTKH8.
In ycyicnl av's if^ur of the I >aily News there appeared an article
firs* rihing a new war terror, which an American citizen has planned.
A' lirwf glanco it would appear that this machine would l?e too
terrible for m??dcrii use. It in a tli ree-wheelod chariot, with the
wheels ;a Im >11 1 two hundred feet in diameter. It's purpose in to cruise
over the enemy's territory, crushing everything before it. It would
go through a city like an automobile going over a muddy piece of
road f'hnrchfiH, public buildings and large dwelling* would he to
it as lump" of mud in the tfay of an automobile.
The awful work that a machine of this kind could do is easily
imaginable. In a day it could crush the cities of'an entire nation.
It could devastate whole armies as easily a* a -steam-roller crush
ing eggs. Nothing could stand before it.
While it is prolrihlv 'doubtful that, a machine of this kind will be
built in the near future, still it shows the trend of modern military
minds. The present idea it to construct some monster that will
prove too terrible for the weapons of the enemy. And some day,
this is going to be achiever! and when that day arrives, it will mean
the end of war in the world.
