It is reported that a few people have gone, to other resort Dlaces in the mountains, but Hender- sonville's crowd does not bear out that report. Manv people in New York and other large cities, not knowing ot the coot weamer in nenuersuuvmc ui uui being able to get here, have recently died from heat. The call was made Saturday for the last of the State Militia to enter the Federal service. The war depart ment expects to have them in train- ing camps before the 15uV The en tire militia force will number about 400,000. A man by the name of Foster de clared in the Sociological Congress at Asheville the other day that moving pictures should be used in church work. Perhaps he had not seen some of the pictures shown in Henderson ville occasionally. But even they are not bible scenes. So he may be riget. France wants Alsace-Lorraine back and will probably ask Germany for the return of the indemnity paid to Germany in 1870 at the time the ter ritory was wrested from her. The al lies all agree that one of the terms of Deace. it desired by France, ahall be the righting of the wrong of nearly half a century ago. The United States will pay no at tention whatever to the peace talk and stage play ot the new German Chancellor. It is too well known in Washington how little such talking, coming trom Germany, means. For more than two years frequent inter changes of notes between the two countries taught "America just how far a German promise can be depended upon. Peace will come when Ger many is no loger-able to fight. On Saturday, Aug. 11, the comple tion of the Hendersonville-Greenville highway is to be celebrated in Hend ersonville. The subject of this cele bration, the completion of the road across Blue Ridge, is a matter of reat importance to both cities. It is also important for the Henderson county farmers who still haul a part of their produce to the southern mar ket on wagons. Let everybody come out and help everyboy else to be glad. On July 31 the British and French started an offensive on a large scale on the Belgian front in Flanders. Ten villages were captured, 5,000 prison ers taken and large quantities of guns and military stores. Every objective for the first day's plans were attained and then it rained and .stopped all further effort other than the consoli dating and holding the ground taken. The roads and country on the front are still too muddy for further pro gress and the armies are marking time awaiting better weather condi tions. When the right time comes another effort will be made' to push back the German's toward the Dutch frontier?. The Wrong Impression All this stuff about North Carolin ians preparing to resist the selective draft law should have been left out of the papers. It gives the state some unpleasant notoriety. - There are doubtless not half a dozen youugmen in the state who have even thought of offering any resistencev to the law. There certainly is not one in Western North Carolina. The mountain boys are not made of that kind of material. They have never yet failed to respond to their country's call, and this.- call will be no exception. This" slander of the young men of the state is un called for and should be muzzled at once. Some one has imposed upon Governor Bickett and he has helped to wrong the young men. The Old North State did her full share in the Revolutionary war and in the war of 1812 and Mexican war and almost twice her part in the Civil war. There is no reason now to think North Car linians have forgotten how to be men and to respond as of old to their country's call, and no one does him self any credit to publish slanders against, the young manhood of the state. W. F. OSTENDORFF For more than thirty years past W. F. Ostendorff has spent his summers in Hendersonville. By most all the people of the town and many of the country people he was well known.' His many friends will regret to learn that his familiar figure will be seen on our streets no more. On Thursday evening of laet week he responded to his last roll call and has gone the way of his an cestors across life's bourne into the vast unknown. He was a good man in every respect He had prospered in business in earlier life and was able to spend "his later years free from finan cial effort While living he shared liberally his good fortune with his people and in his going left them in position to appreci ate more keenly his own success in life. He was generous and kind to those around him And in his death each friend feels a per sonal loss. He had lived out the allotted three score years and ten and passed out bravely as befits the man who has known life and its vicisitudes and is still after traveling the long road, in love with life and all that makes life "beautiful and good.
