The people of Asheboro and Ran dolph county held a big patriotic meeM ing in Asneooro last Saturday to open the big drive for sale of War Savings Stamps this week . At 1:30 in the afternoon, a lomr line of automobiles formed on Depot street men, women, and children carrying ap propriate banners added much to the effect of the scene. The procession passed down Fayetteville street, back up to Wortfi street, across Worth' street down Elm street, up Salisbury street, back to Fayetteville 6treet, and then to the courthouse, where the ad: dress of the day was delivered. . The floats of Mrs. R. P. Deal, Randleman; of the Franklinville Branch Red Cross, and Ramseur Branch Red- Cross, de serve especial mention. .? At the court house music was fur nished by Miss Lillie Parrish at the piano; Mr. bam Davis, of High Fomt, onthe violin; Mr Charles Wood, on the cornet; and Mr. Arthur Birkhcad, on the drum. After the rendering of several patriotic selections, Dr. E. L. Moffitt, chiirman of the County War Savings Stamp Committee, m a few appropriate remarks, introduced the speaker of the afterndon, Dr. Archi bald Johnson, of Thomasville. Dr. Johnson said that it had often been his pleasure to speak to Randolph audiences. He said that although the invitation came only the afternoon be fore, he could not refuse to lend his aid in the great cause and promised to be in Asheboro at the time re quested. Dr. Johnson first addressed a few remarks to the ladies of the Red Cross, bidding them Godspeed in thfeir noble work. He aid that everybody contrib uting in the recent Red Cross drive was enriched and blessed in so doing. The speaker said, "God bless the wom en of America." He also referred to the work of the Y. M. C. A. in the highest terms, calling attention to the fact that this organization serves to srive the bovs three thousand miles from home a touch of the home life they so much miss, and encourages them to keep clean, to remember home and God.- These two organizations of fer no return in dollars and cents to their suDDorters. but they offer a re turn far richer and Ixfiter, said the " The sneaRer saia tner people 01 Ran dolph had met to begin the campaign"! i itt n rt aU1 ior sale 01 war savings piamps, me money received from such sale to be used in providing the sinews' of war. He said we already have the men, but the money to get guns, ammu nition, food and other supplies is just as important "The Germans will not win," declared Dr. Johnson. We are going to put the kaiser out of busi ness. He said if Germany wins, we lose all, but she is not going to win. Dr. Johnson said that ior uie pasi 50 vears. streams of infidelity have em'enated from Germany. The-government has been the all-powerful, forgetting the virtues of mercy, charity, tolerance, brotherly love . and consideration for the weak and help less. He said that on the other hand, America has, gone in for the larger good, while some of our allies have not been quite so altruistic. In Eng land, for instance, church and state are still united, a condition in direct opposition to democracy. In France, Catholicism as dethroned a few. years nan . hut manv of the neonle turned to infidelity. America has had the unrest national life in the world, and for this reason, Dr. Johnson does not believe that our country will be called upon-to -suffer in this war as some of the other , nations have .been called '.The speaker urged" the friends and relatives or soiuiers ai me irom w look on the bright side and not say they never expected to see their boys Darin? the terrible four years of war through which France has psised, only 6 per cent per year or 20 Kr cent in all of the French soldiers ve lost their lives.' Dr, -Johnson said we are going to win the war, because we have the best soldiers In the world, we have the guns, and the money. He said money invested in War Stamps was different from that invested m the ilea iross and Y M. C. A.;, Uncle Sam is only AnlHnr ta borrow, not for A srift. At the close- of the - address, ' Dr. Moffitt asked the township chairmen and workers to remain for an after meetimr to perfect plans zor the can vasi this week. ; From 600 to. 800 peo- dIs have sledged themselves to tajce part in this canvass, r. . . y. v Circus Train Smashed Sixtv-ine persons "are known to be dead and 179 are injured as a result of the far-end collision last Saturday between an equipment train and A Wallacc-Hagcnback circus train on me Michitran Central railroad near uary Ind.

The pain comes first, but resignation must follow. And this is her creed: "I have given him up to the Lord. My suffering cannot help him. He must go but a stronger one than I. must take care of him. I have given him up to the Lord!" To the war-mother these are tragic days. Life to her is no more a danc ing forth with jubilant feet to meet the mysteries of the future. Her days and nighty are- filled wivh an insistent lenging, and haunted by a nameless fear. The throb in her bosom, once the thump of exuberant life, is now the throb of pain, and every beat hurts. Look at her you do not need to ask, do you? if shi knows what war means?

And I have read in those dry eyes ana colorless cheeks the hopeless. ness of silent despair. The war means to her the .breaking up of home, the death oi glowing hones,- and a sepa ration which holds no promise for the future.

He went proudly so long as he could keep the thought of his country's call be fore him, but he went sorely when ever he thought of leaving his little sister-mother. - Only once was he per mitted to visit her from camp. And. then one day she got a message from him in New York. He was going overseas he wanted to see her just once more could she come? The little sister moved earth in her deter mination, and almost heaven and hell and she went to the camp in New York where her brother was. But fate had been cruelly busy as she had counted off the weary, sluggish miles and fate had won in the rs.ee. He had been ordered aboard, and had sajled in the night. I saw that young woman soon alter her return home. I did not need to ask if she knew what the war costs. Sometimes I think when I look into the faces bereaved by the war, and note the heroism and patriotic loy- altv standing guard over the dead hopes and utter despair within, that surely God has turned loose on tnis earth a generation of ' angels souls purified by the fires of past ages, sensitive souls capable of the deepest of human suffering, but counting their loss as gain, and their sorrow as a privilege for the sake of the .great service which their country is doing in the cause of right. He Knows Look at the soldier in the ranks. He is strong and brown and cheerful. The law of sacrifice provides for him the compensation of a joyous spirit He swings forward with shout and song. But, hidden away deep under neath his fighting clothes there beats the hungry heart the homing spirit the longing for the old days and old friends, and the freedom of peaceful times. But that hungry heart and that longing spirit keep well under cover. They allowed sway only in the quietest and loneliest of the soldier's moments, but they are there and he is -conscious of them, always.

Oh, no, the men in the ranks can not stop long nor often to count it up, but do not doubt it they know what the war costs. . .A Cup For Every One And these Jionored sufferers they are many have not paid it all. They pay only their own obligations "There is a cross for every one, and there's a cross for me" and you. It may be that some will get through this world war; this tragic juggling of all the nations, without a scratch, 1 do not know. But for some unac countable reason I believe the cup is waiting for every lip. It is a strug gle for democracy in the world, and it must be a democratic strurgle. Every one must go down to the waters of bitterness and drain his cup to the very dregs. And for every one who cowers before it and turns away, re fusing to take his draught, our march ing hosts shall slip back a pace, and the suffering and bloodshed be in creased. To be brave and accept our "peck of troubles ' mh grace and determina tion is by far the best method for the individual as well as the nation. Turn ing aside, we do not get rid of our ob ligations. We simply defer the meet ing of them. And we should remem ber that time draws interest.

'.': "We are now billeted in a small 5 French village within sound of the large guns. The men are very com fortably quartered in barns and star 1 bles. The ofheers are quartered m' houses. It will probably be some time yet before we see any actual fighting. I am in excellent health, and great-' t ly enjoying my experiences. The men are having a great time. Attacked by Submarines "Coming across the ocean we were attacked twice by submarines. We saw no signs of any submarines orany torpedo. The sailors claimed they saw a periscope. Anyway, we saw a good amount of firing and dropping of depth bombs by our destroyers. They claimed one submarin was sunk; We all took our stations around the life boats and rafts and although it was about two o'clock at night, there wa no disorder. The men were more like children at a circus anxious to see what was happening. 1 really believa many of them were Very much disap pointed because we were not to lower our boats and rafts. "I was rather surprised to see so few men in England. I understand the draft age has been raised. '' Witness Two Air Raids ' "Since we have been in France we ' have witnessed' two air raids at a dis- ; tance. It was rather a novel experix ence to see searchlights playing across : " the sky and see the shrapnel from anti-aircraft guns bursting in the skv. Last night I slept so soundly that I : did not wake up during the air raid,' . although the firing could be distinctly , heard and the ashes from bursting shrapnel seen. . As 1 sit here m the courtyard of. this French chateau, 1 can distinctly hear the explosions from the big guna --. in the front line.' 1 ' S: Quartered in Barns r - ? "I have a room in the chateau and i sixty men are quartered in the barns around the courtyard. One old peas- " ant woman is the only French person around. She seems to be in charge. "" We have had a most amusing time try ing to understand her. She stays ; around all the time, seeing that we do not injure any property. Every now and then she will jump on some man . about something, talking at the rate of sixty words a second. The poor sol dier stands there with his mouth open trying to understand what she means. As soon as she stops talking, he gen- . erally moves away at a fast pace. The greatest comedy is to see her get after , my orderly. It is a comedy. He moves ' around faster for her than he has ever done before in his life. Studying French ( "This is a very pleasant and delight-, -' ful French village. The French are ; cordial but are most particular about their property. All of usfcre studying -French in a haphazard- way. I paid a small boy a franc yesterday to teach'' me the pronunciation of the words in . a French-English book I purchased. -. "So far we have had a most pleas ant time and I have never had better, health. I would not have missed these experiences for a great deal. . "I presume in the course of a month ' or two we may see some actual fight- . ing. The men are all very anxious t get into the fight."
