Wilmington Star. "VTbis beautiful Christmas Day reminds us that it is the birth. day of the Prince of Peace. It is Christmas for the people in all Christian lands, and mav it be an . . for the wanner nations of the World. It is significant that at this Christmas season. 1912 years since the birth of Christ, the representatives of the EaroDean nations art in London to bring about peace between Turkey and the Balkan allies and possibly to avert impending war between all the nations, and to set at a set- tlement that will relieve Europe of the constant menace that hangs over the nations because of. the jealousies created by the situation in luricey and the othr er Balkan countries. ( hristmas offers to the world an opportunity to catch the spirit or mm wno preached peace on earth and good will toward men " After 19 centuries, it seems an age for that doctrine to take hold of men and nations, vet to- oay; ine aonorence of war is greater than it has been for a thousand years or more. We are still discussing "world peace" at this late day. after wars of the roost bloodv character within the present and past few yean How ever, it seems that world Dace if . more likely to be promoted bv i . . . ... tnoae wno are expected to do the fighting than by the most mili. taut of all the advocates of peace. Men are refusing to become"bu1 let meat" at the behest of Euro- nean governments and because of the act of aggression, ava rice and policies of governments in which they have JJtte, inter est except as subjects: Prorai time to time Europe h3s been i deluded with wars, and the time , was when a bov was bwa to a i peasant his birth gave pleasure , to the sovereign because if' he! grew up it would be one more! man for the army in case of nerd j Thus it got to be a common say-1 ing that young men old enough for army service were "bullet meat," The peace movement has made progress when men refuse to be come bullet meat Civilization has advanced to the point tlut men are more valuable as units in the great industrial and social svstem than as units in the ar mies of any country, especially of a despotism or a monarchy. War may be justifiable when great principles are involved or humanity is concerned, bat the men who are expected to offer themselves as sacrifices in battle are beginning to discriminate about the kind of wars that can enlist their interest and service. Any prospect of a general war in. Europe is meeting with ths protest of the men who are ex pected to do the bloody work. The Austrians have' held creat demonstrations against the mob ilization of Austria's army dur ing the Balkan crisis audit is quite evident that Austria's in tentions to fight has no symoa thy from the people. A few davs ago, the workingmen throughout France laid down their tools and the wheels of industry were at a standstill. -For the space of 24 hours the workers : and toilers were idle and the ordinary course of business was seriously inter rupted. Earning and production ceased. The men were on a strike against war. They struck for peace. The Slogan of the French work ingmen durhsr their demonstra tion was "War against war, "and their object was a protest against militarism. They are not onlv burdeoed with taxes to support great ' navies ind standing r piies, but they are expected to abandon the support of their families and risk their livss and : limbs in battles for the ourpose of upholding some ambit! ms scheme of so-called statesmen or for the purpose of conquests in causes that are the result of un reasonable aggressive policies Whatever result the demonstra tion of the Frenchman may have, it is certain that the 8U9Dension of work for a day meant a loss of many thousands of dollars to them in wages and a. great loss in the productive wealth of the Nation. How much more severe would be the suspension of work and wages and production for an indefinite period of costly and disastrous war? Perhaps the demonstrations of the Austrian and French work ingmen, who would be pitted against each other in deadly strife, may not have any effect in checking militarism, but their protest against war is both im pressive and significant. The protest of those who are comoell ed to stand the brunt of war has caused all the world to take no tice of it. The workinsrmen re gard their anti-war strike as a success. It showed hat the pop ular idea of war is abhorrent. and that sentiment against war is strong and growing among those who are expected to carrv guns and fill the graves of sol diers. The protest must be re garded with satisfaction, for it indicates a united dissent and unrest among those who are used to slaughter other men and be i slaughtered themselves bv men ! no more concerned in the carnage i than thev are. i When statesmen and nations begin to realize the horrors and burdens of war, as the victims seem to be doing, the chances of peace for the human race will grow. The spirit of the brother hood of man will grow, and the world will fully realize what Christ meant in his benediction to all jnankind; "Peace be unto all men."

Mr, Thomas Baugham, young est son of Mrs. Roberta Baugham, was accidentally hurt last Mon day afternoon while in the ser vice of the N. Y , P. & N.

Editor, Roanoke-Chowan Times: Dear Sir: I don't mean to say we never got more than six cents per doz en for our .'eggs, while on th free list, but they did go as low as that. Since the tariff has been on foreign eggs I don't remem ber the price going lower than 10 cents per dozen, and not as high as 28 cents while on the free list. We would appreciate a fuller estimation from Mr. Mnrflopi- nf wnat it cost him to produce a peanut crop. Farmer need to learn to produce their crop with less exnensa and morn nrnftr.

The colored Baptists had Union Meeting last week and ran an excursion train from Ahoskia each day and what a delight it was to get our Raleigh and Nor folk papers directly after dinner. through the kindness of the offi cials who brought the papers in on the excursion train. If there ever was a needless delay in mails it is the Windsor mails which lies over in Ahoskie from about 11 o'clock A. M , till 6 P. U,i when it starts for Windsor. getting here about 7:30. If no better arrangements could be made, it would be better to give us an automobile route between Windsor and Aulander.

One of the biggest thing com ing before the next General As sembly is the health of two and one-quarter millions of Nurth Carolinians. For a Jong time these General Assembling hv been buying more or less of that commodity known as public health. Just how much they got no one ever knew. Why? Sim ply because no one everkeD' arv books snowing what the state ;r aoy of the towns or counties saved in needless deaths as a re sult of making these aimroDria tions. Why should not health officers be made to show whether or not they are wortn their salt? DotibtleBS many are, but what about the others? If a health officer is a paying officer to a town, county or state it should be known: if he is not. that fact should also be known. But how are the people to know, how can they tell whether or not a health officer is worth his salt? Easily enough. A health officer's busi ness is to reduce sickness and prevent deaths. Now. if this coming Legislature will pass a vital statistics law. in a verv short time every intelligent citi zon will know how the death rate in his to wn, county or state com pares with death rates in neigh boring towns, counties and states Likewise he will know about the death rates for particular dis eases. Then ' it will be easy enough to know when and where and how much to appropriate for or when, where and how much to cut down on public health ap propriations.
