Asheboro, North Carolina, Thursday, March 7, 1918 NUMBER 10 JUBJEj TWO YEARS OF WAR SAYS CAPTAIN DAVID FALLON Will Have To Carry Conflict to Ger many in Aair Spoke Two Hours in Asheboro Yesterday Audiences En thusiastic Captain David Fallon who spoke to an overflowing court house full of people in Asheboro Wednesday of this week is of the opinion that the war will enct when we get at them in the air. Nobody expected such a crowd not even County Chairman War Savings Committee who had so well advertis ed the meeting. The end will come when Germany feels the thing at its own door step. We have got to bomb the Krupps and Berlin trom the air. It was the Zep pelins that woke England up. When Germany realizes the horror of war dropped from the clouds, she will throw up the sponge. They can keep up this thing on the western front in definitely. We have got to fly over them. Don't let America wait until the Germans are here before they wake up to the fact that we are at war. Quit using the pronoun 'they' when you talk about what has got to be done. Say 'we'. He has gone away, but the mem ory of his thrilling story, of his flash ing grey eye and his wounded right arm, and the audiences that were swayed under the spell of his story will stick until the youngest that heard him is old. "Captain Fallon" was on every lip yesterday. There were many that lingered on the streets to get a glimpse of him. Many cameras were brought out and a number of snaps of the "little Britisher" caught on the wing. Captain Fallon says you Americans arc great people but you are not awake to the thing that is gripping the world. Early in the day the crowds began to gather and an hour before the speaking began the court house was filled, all available space being crowd ed and jammed with men and women. When the 500 school children from the Asheboro graded school came there was not a vacant seat and little stand ing room. More than a thousand peo ple could not get inside the court house. Captain Fallon is an Irishman born in Australia, who served three years witn the British forces on the battlefields from Gallipoli peninsula to the Somme front. Having been wounded fifteen times, the fifteenth wound incapacitat ing him so as to cause his dismissal with the honor of the military cross, he has been "invalided home war scarred and wounded. Instead of re turning to his Australian home at Sid ney, he camo to America and is lec turing on the war for the purpose of informing Americans as to its tine conditions and prospects, as well as to what is expected ot them in the lines of dutv for both civilians and soldiers. While in North Carolina, Captain Fallon will speak in the interest of War Savings Stamps. He will speak several times daily and will relate his actual experiences with the Hun. In the afternoon yesterday he spoke to the Asheboro school children and told how he threw himself in a shell hole in "No Man's Land" which was filled with muck and water, in which he had to keep himself submerged three nights and three days, only raising his head occasionally to breathe.

Judge Stephenson said the south was poor and that North Carolina was the poorest State in the union except Mississippi; that 93 out of every one hundred people did not accumulate enough to live on in old age and were either dependent upon relatives or charity and urged the people of the county to be war savers.
