This action may surprise many per- 'Bons who had thought of France as bowed under a calamitous invasion. The bank, however, gives figures indi cating that France is not only meeting Jier military and civilian problems with a stout heart and never failing cour age, but Is re-establishing her export ^business with this country. In 1914, the year of the outbreak of -the war, imports from France to this country totaled $141,446,252. This to tal W’as reduced to $77,158,740 In 1915, t)Ut last year the value of French im ports to the United States rose to .$102,077,060. ' “A nation that can achieve such a commercial recovery while her terri tory is being ravished by the invader,” «ays the Trust company’s statement, '“possesses recuperative powers which -justify the belief that she will emerge -from the present conflict prepared to meet and solve triumphantly the prob lems which confront her.” The commercial and industrial rec ord of-France, following past wars, in dicates that she should recover quickly from the actual physical destruction inflicted in the present conflict. The reconstruction of railroads, the erection ■of factories to replace those destroyed, and the replacement of the mechanism -of Industrial activity that will be re- •quired and that Is in part already planned, offer a peculiarly inviting ■field to American capital and enter prise. Tentative ^teps have already been taken by representatives of .Amer ican engineers and business men in this work. Aside from its attractive business •aspect, the enlistment, of American money and effort iJ^ the great task of Teconstruction that will remain at the end of the war wiU tend to cement still more closely the tl^ that bind the two great republics together, and will en able Americans to discharge in part the debt they owe to France for her friendly interest in the welfare and progress of the United States from •the beginning of its life as a nation. In judging the Industrial status of any nation. Its production and con sumption of coal, iron, and steel and the growth of Its transportation sys tems are highly significant factors. •' In 1869, French industries consumed ■21 million tons of coal, of which 13.5 millions were taken from home mines. In 1912, the consumption was 61 mil lions, of which 41 million tons were .taken from home mines. In 1869, the French output of cast Iron Was 1,880,000 tons, and of steel, 1,060,000 tons. In 1914, France pro duced 5,311,000 tons of cast Iron and 4,635,000 tons of steel. The !ncr-?r^'n« activity of her rail way system is similarly demonstrat- able. In 1SC9, there were in France 10,7-13 miles cf railway track; in 1912, there were 31,.546 miles. Between lS6y and 1912, inland navi gation increa.sed 150 per cent; while the traffic of her mercantile marine has amazingly expanded. Tlie tonnage entering French ports in 1869 is set down as 11,000,000 tons. In 1912 this had been increased to 53,000,000 tons. Leaders in American finance ascribe this solidarity of the French republic to three influences; first, a thoroughly sound banking system, centralized in one of the greatest banking institutions of the world, the Bank of France.; sec ond, the ingrained thrift and frugality of the French people as a whole, to gether with a national economic vigor not elsewhere surpassed; third, wise supervision, and patriotic co-operation by the government with banking and business interests. The government does its part to war rant and retain the confidence of the holders of' its securities. One of its wise policies is to impose new taxes to defray the interest charges on new se curity issues. It began-this practice after the Franco-Prussian war, and Is today following the same rule in regard to securities issued to finance the pres ent 'conflict. This continuity of pur pose, doubtless, will prove reassuring to all holders of French government securities. The Franco-Prussian war of 1870- 1871 taught the French people the meaning of thrift and economy. So well did they learn this lesson, that the whole sum of the Indemnity de manded by Germany, $1,000,000,000, was raised within the republic’s con fines by its own inhabitants and paid off more than one year before the time stipulated by the Germans. The habit thus acquired has never been forgotten by the French, and to day the aggregate number of investors purchasing the French war loans has reached the amazing total of 4,500,000 individual subscribers. Perhaps no oth er country, in proportion to Its popula tion, can make so good a showing. France Is particularly fortunate in that her small investors prefer “safe” Investments rather than offerings which promise high returns. Govern ment rentes, in France are perpetu al, and this characteristic seems to ob tain for these government bonds in creasing favor in the eyes of the French people. The points of sympathy between France and America are too many to enumerate, but the spirit of liberty and Its resultant democracy are, today as always, the major ideals of both na tions. Seeking no victories but those of peace, no territory except their own, no sovereignty except sovereignty over themselves — the independence and equal rights of the weakest member of the family of nations are to the people of the United States and of France en titled to as much respect as those ot the mightiest empire. In defense of these principles, France is engaged in a death struggle with militant autoc racy and ruthless aggression, and it is not surprising to learn that she has loaned to her allies and to other friendly states 7,000,000,000 francs with which to further the cause of democracy. It Is in keeping with America’s traditions that since the date on which we for mally aligned ourselves with France and her allies in the great struggle, our government has lent to France $370,000,000. It is eminently fitting that' America should now be fighting on French soil to make the world safe for democracy. The liberty that America has enjoyed for 140 years France helped her to achieve. The swords of Lafayette and Rochambeau, aided by the guns of De Grasse upon the high seu s assisted in cutting the foreign ties that bound the American colonies prior to the War for Independence, and from the private purse of King Louis himself came the first loan to America—^unsecured and unconditional—to finance that historic undertaking. It was with entire jus tice that Washington wrote to Eocham- beau, "To the generous aid of your na tion and to the bravery of its sons Is to be ascribed in a very great degree that Independence for which we have fought.” Watoga, W. Va.—Mrs. S. W. Gladwell., I of this town, says: '‘When about 15 years ' oi age, I suffered greatly .. . Sometimes i would go a month or two, and I had terribleheadache, backache, and bearing- j down pains, and would just drag and I- had no appetite.

Recommended by many physicians. In use over 40 years. Begin taking Cardui today. It may be the very medicine you need. NC-130 "THE RED CROSS SPIRIT” i BRAZIL ENTERS THE WAR' AS SEEN BY DR.

"To Make, to Save, to Serve,” the Slogan. ^ North Carolina Day will be cele brated this year in the public schools of the State on December 14—^the first Friday in December. The State Superintendent of Public Instruction is hard at work on the program. The day will be utilized for a great patriotic celebration in each public schoolhouse of the State for the stimulation of thrift, conservation and patriotic service among the children and among all the people of the com munity, and for the general dissemi nation of information about the great State and National movements for thi'ift, conservation, and patriotism, and the reasons therefor, and the aims and purposes therof. The entire pro gram will be built around the three ideas of thrift, conservation and patriotism. The slogan of the program will be “To make, to save, to Serve.” The active co-operation of all patriotic organizations of the State and county —the food conservation boards, coun cils of defense, the Red Cross, etc., with the educational forces in each county and school district, will be en listed for making North Carolina a powerful agency this year for the pro motion and advancement of the patri otic purposes for which all of these organizations are unselfishly working. The chairman of the State Council of Defense, the secretaiy of the State Historical Commission, and the State Food Administrator, are co-operating with the State Superintendent of Pub lic Instruction and the State Depart ment of Education in tlie pi’eparation of the program. In such a celebration of North Caro lina Day a,t every public schoolhouse —^the logical civic and social center of every community—with the active and sympathetic co-operation of all the ed ucational and patriotic organizations of State, county and community can be reached a splendid climax to the activities of the past months for the promotion of thrift, conservation, and patriotism. In this way all can be given a powerful impetus that ought to last and increase. IN THEIR RETIREMENT FROM OCCUPIED TERRITORY THE GER MAN ARMY DESTROYED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF AGRICUL.

TUBERCULOSIS ON THE DE CREASE IN NORTH CAROLINA Present Rate of Decrease Will Control Tuberculosis Problem There were 211 cases of tubeixulosis less in North Carolina last year than the year before. This reduction, ac cording to the State Board of Health, brings the State’s death-rate from tu berculosis to 139,6 against 127.7, the rate of the United States for 1915. If lixe same annual reduction could be kept up for fifteen years, says the Board, the State would have no deaths frem this disease and would soon have the tuberculosis problem under con trol. Educational health work is consider ed the greatest factor bringing about this reduction. Physicians have been educated to the importance of an early diagnosis as well as dealing honestly with his patients. People have been taught to know that tuberculosis is both preventable and curable and now they •w’^elcome the earliest possible in formation from their physicians. If they have tuberculosis, tliey want to know it while it is curable. Ignorance and poverty remain the greatest al lies of this dreadful disease. which, under postal conventions, have enjoyed the domestic rates. The new 3-cent letter rate, therefore, will apply to letters to Canada, Cuba, Mexico, Panama, England, Ii’eland, Scotland, Wales, the Bahamas, Barbadoes, Brit ish Guinea, British Honduras, Santo Domingo, Dutch West Indies, Leeward Islands, Newfoundland and New Zeal and. The post card increase will ex tend to Canada, Cuba, Mexico and Pan ama, the only countries which have en joyed the domestic post card rate. For consumers’ convenience, books of postage stamps containing 3-cent stamps are in readiness for sale and the department has had printed thou sands of 2-cent post cards. First-class mail postmarked tomorrow or any time prior to 12:01 a. m. Nov, 2, regardless of time taken for delivery, will be transmitted oX the old rates but that postmarked thereafter must pay the increased toll. Amusement admission taxes become effective tomorrow at places charging more than 5 cents. They are 1 cent lor each ten cents or fraction paid for such admission, payable by the person admitted but collected by the govern ment from the amusement propi-ietor, required to make sworn returns to the treasury. flat tax of 1 cent for each child under 12 admitted when children are charged also is provided. Passes also are taxed, except those to bona fide employees, municipal officers and chil dren under 12, at the regular rate, which also is extended to cabarets or other entertainment in which the ad mission is included in the price paid for refreshment, merchandise or ser vice. Persons leasing theatre boxes must pay ten per cent on their rental. "rhe new rates on cigars range from 25 cents to $7 per thousand and on cigarettes from 80 cents to $1.20 per thousand. Five cents a pound is the new tax on tobacco, snuff and other manufactured tobacco, while cigarette papers ax'e taxed from 1-2 cent to 1 cent per hundred. As the taxes are now reaching the ulvimate consumer, the raises mean about 1 cent more on five cent tobacco packages, from 2 to 5 cents on cigarette packages and from 1 to 10 cents on cigars. The taxes on freight and passenger transportation are also extended to motor vehicle competitors of steam and electric railways and water lines. The passenger transportation tax is not ap plicable to fares costing 25 cents or less or communication or season tick ets for trips less than thirty miles. Payments for seiwices rendered the federal and state governments ar ex empt from taxation.

Dugout Meditation "As we sat in our little dugout quarters, we would think of our own beloved country, beloved in spite of all faults. We realized, as never befoi-e, that the government that sends its young men into the field unprepared and unequipped is ^ilty of murder. It makes of them criminals, deseifiers and cowards. The people that refuses to got ready, to care for those yoxxng men' who would fall in defense of their nation, stand arraigned in the same dock, guilty of the same crime. “■We realized as we passed through the shell toxm towns and saw the ruth- ^ lessness of the Attila Horde that, that plenty means efficiency. There thousands died, not on the field of honor—where gladly they would have bought death—but in the terroi's of de lirium caused by the criminal neglect of a patriotic but careless people. “We Had Faith—and Waited’ “But we waited—waited because we had faith; faith in the American peo ple; faith in their leader, a leader around whom the waves of different opinions surged and stoi-ms of politics beat, a leader who I believe will go down in history as one, if not the greatest President of this republic of ours. "Now the days of neutrality are ov er. Our boys are ‘over there’ and more will soon be going to join the* allied forces fighting for hui^anity. God alone knows what will KalJpen, but let me tell you we are not too proud to fight. ' Why U. S. Is Fighting "Why? Because for two years our sense of humanity and justice was outraged; our ideas of love were rav ished by the invasion of Belgium, the killing of civilians and the laying of mines in neutral waters; because we found our talk—our love of peace— meant only cowardice to the enemy, that we were mere seekers for gain. “So we ai'e fighting for ourselves, to save our self-respect and to main tain our right to live. We have grown to a nation through travail and bitter experience; we have developed a pride and a conscience. We give ourselves that the life of America may go on; we fight that the woiJd may be for ever freed of the soldiers. "We fight because we hear the cries of the children fi’om the ocean’s bot tom and because our ships, carrying food 'to starving Belgians, displaying the Red Cross emblem, were sunk. We fight that after this war we may have the spirit of freedom and not auto cracy, "It is all the Red Cross life. This is Red Cross war.

Had Missed Element of Sacrifice “We wondered if the people still be lieved that Foui-th of July oratoiy or inherited pluck and grit would pull them through. We wondered if they hadn’t learned that pluck and grit alone arrayed against the trained sol dier and the modem gun only meant slaughter. We knew that fifty per cent of our young men were unfit for military service. We knew that our country had as yet missed the clement of sacrifice. "The Red Cross life calls for that, it means all of your time to y«ur country. It means taking the linen and cotton sheets off your beds. It means giving up fifty per cent of your income and living upon shoi't rations of food. It means that our men should rooms in parlor and sleeping cars or ; on vessels. The five cent tax on telegraph, tele phone or radio messages costing 15 ■ cents or more applies only to those ; originating in the United States. Clubs whose dues are less than $12 a year and fees to lodges are exempt from the 10 per cent tax on club dues.

If you want Germany to win this war, waste food—^use up the food needed by those who are fighting her. CASTORIA For Infants and. Children En Use For Over SO Years And we must weave a net of mercy through this ocean of indescribable pain. The whole nation should knit. "More than this, though, the Red Cross means mobilizing the enthusi asm and the generosity of the Ameri can people. As in the day of Constan tine the cross in the sky meant victory, so now, the cross fiery and red, is the symbol by which America goes forth to conquer. Not a war of gain, not for more territory, but to bring in a world of peace and justice; to rebuild cities; to hearten war laden people; to pour oil in their wounds and to kneel by the dying. "Before we have finished, we too will have travelled the road to Golgotha. But if we must, we will; it is worth while. It is tKe cause of God and for the freedom of the world. "We must keep clear the vision. We must strip away all the prevents us from seeing the nobility and greatness of our cause. If we must, we will. We will take the Crown of Thorns and press it firmly unto our brow until the blood streams, we will lay our lives upon a reeking altar that we may he true to our ideals and pay our debt to the God of Righteousness.’
