Prom news dispatches it ap pears that all is not smooth be tween Germany and Austria. New generations will have to replace the present population of Germany before the world will care to have much to do with that country. The drafted men in. New Eng land should be sent to Southern Florida. There can be but little drilling in the bitter weather of a New England winter. Another zeplin raid on England nets the murders the lives of a few more women and children. The raiders, however! met their deserved fate before reaching home all three of the machines having been destroyed in France on their return from England. While the German fleet , is af ter the Russians in the Baltic would be a good time for the British and American fleets to take a cruise also in the Baltic. Without aid from some source the Russian fleet will perhaps be totally destroyed. Her vessels are not equal to those of the Ger man fleet, nor has she a sufficient number of ships even if her guns were of equal size. When the war is over it is to be hoped the United States will have placed herself in a position not to need dyes, medicines, phosphate or anything else made or found in Germany. Ours is a big enough, rich enough and in telligent enough country to be self sustaining and our exper ience in this war should show us the wisdom of making every effort not to be dependent for anything on any foreign country. And they say that the Ger man's are most all Christians. Patriotic Speaking Hon. Thomas Settles and Judge Thomas A. Jones of Asheville will address the citizens of Hen derson county, at the Oprea House Wednesday, October 24 at 8:30 p. m. The subject will be "How to help your husband, son, brother and f nend in the training camps and at the front". Let every one come out ana near these men. The ladies are also invited. We had a most intereiting letter from Joe Hoi lings worth, which arrived too Ute for publication last week. lie st ys to tee all those boys drilling and the big guns certainly looks like war. Mr. mm a t - m - liomrgswortn taw a pue oi nay i&ere for the camp horses which was one ere squire ana uie Dales were piled fifty feet high.
