Promptly at 3:30 next Monday af ternoon thft first Issue of the Hender ille Evening Hustler will be on Jb' streets. Arrangements have 'tteen perfected the past week for the tele graphic service, the corps of reporters carrier boys, and an extra force of printers. ( Since the last issue of the Weekly Hustler scores have subscribed to the Evening Hustler unsolicited. Sub scriptions came by mail from Tamna Fla., and S. Louis, Mo., and other points, the letters accompanying bear ing the message of good cheep and well wishes. The first subscriber was Dt. A, C. Tebean of -Hendersonville, who phoned in his subscription and ther hustled to the Hustler officp to clinch the matter with a dollar. Then F. E. Curtis came In with two dollars on' paper to himself and the other to some friend whom he intends to induce to move to Hendersonville. Friends came in from Flat Rock, Mountain Home Hilteirt tnd. other nearby S and rSx on tfie Honor Rail. These solicited to subsCTibejater m the week responded gracefully, with! two exceptions. One of these had (.an ingrowing grpueh and the other was suffering fromv paralysis of the pock etbook. Some of these days thees fel lows will die and their relative will wonder why we didnT stop the ores to write a subdued wad of literature about their greatness on earth.

Various Orgiizatlons of Country Helping to Secure Soldiers, Washington, June 25 PatriotIo and civic societies, newspaperj and other semi-public agencies evewhero are making a gratifying response to- e government's appeal for support In tho campaign of regular army recruiting week, and war department officials be lieve the next few days will start, a recruiting boom for the regulars un paralleled in the nation's history. Reports from all over be country indicate that the daily papers, as re quested v Secretary Baker are takm? hold of the. work vigorously and are bringing h6me forcibly to eligiblss the necessity of quick expansion of the reg ular establishment.- : Many of them are pointing out that enlistment 7.1th the regulars not only give men elioioie for the draft an earlier opnotrunxty f o rservice abroad, but would . insure that they go to tlie frontunde rexpe rienced officers selected before the great demands of the war arrnr nave to be met. "V ' . . Officials are' emphasizing tn&t tne plan . of enlistment for the war offers an GPPpxiunity, alos for a mail over thirty-one and less, than forty, to As by to be the Beginning for Hendersonville-- a; do his share along with the younger men subject to draft. President Wil son's proclamation v setting aside the recruitine week, it is pointed out. vir tually amounts to a call for volunteeA vmong men of this class. The recruiting figures for today, which, are expected to show the first results of the publicity campaign and reallr mark the beginning of reer""v Ing week, will not be available until tomorrow. During Saturday arri . day, nominally the first two daya'of the week set aside by the preside New York was leading the states w'' 132 men, and Pennsylvania second with 102. " Since April 1, 124,949 war voiur . teers have been enrolled, althoiv- there has been no decrease In the phy sical standards imposed. This ivt ber represents" probably less than o.? fourth of the total number of men who have applied fo rerlistment. HHEOBIES KNOCKED TOPSY-TURVY International Conciliation is adjour nal publish monthly by the American Association for International Concil iation. Our recollection is that An drew Carnegie was actire if not in strumental in starting, the association an dthat long before the present great war began it was endeavoring to make sure what thenseemed not very hard to o, the continuance of the peaceful conditions which then prevailed. Whatever method of seeuring and maintaining peacetbe association mav have bad 'before the "great, European conflagration blazed up, the assocla aon has now come around to the ac-, xepted view, namely. Vhat-the only way tn havb neaee with, honor is to fight -for it, and a recent Issue of the jour nal f the association is aevotea to a powerful article by Franklin H. Gid dings on the base sof an enduring peace.-. V . fT Mj. Giddings is not encouraging to those who would like, to see the.wr. quickly ended. "There can be no en during peaoie," he says, "until absolut ism is -destroyed; a peace program that does not squarely face this fact is ha- pipe dream." . Presumably Mr. Giammgs means, dj this- that Germany and the other-dynasties of Europe must become democ racies before the world will be per manently at ( peace. - . But the. practical person will sec another alternative. It is not, we be lieveimpossible that Germany will find before democracy replaces the despotism that obtains in that- coun try 'now, that; it cannot conquer the world. In that case and on condition that she should propos epeace terirra acceptable to her foes, it is not incon ceivable that th e.war might terminate without the wiping out of the dynastie-3 which, now are grappling with tb -democratic nations of the earth. As to how olng peace would en dure, secured under, such circum stances, that would depend, on tne conditions in -the various countries concerned. Germany could not go any further than it has already gone In preparing for war. Bu the other ' ' ' ' " sured JERRY SHI'ILE. FATHER OF 1 -! . TV. S. SHITLE DEAD.
