It wa cur belief that farm labor was
going to be the problem, and we bailed
with dtUgbt the tuggettion that young
men on tbe farms be exempted a long as
possible froea gotag to the war. We con
tended la our philosophy that food was pax

let be bad food and we wanted the young
farmer to remain with tbe plow at long a
possible.
It it now sent cut a a fact that thi tort
cf talk and thought baa been used and ia
being used by the pro-German people. It
is shown that the young maa froca tbe
farm la needed la France, wanted right
now In the trenches and that there are
millions of able bodied men too eld to go
to war who can raise food. It la shown
that women can help on the farm that
what la most needed la every man who can
ttand the esami nation to go to the front
to be ready to batten to France.
And locking at it froca thi viewpoint
doubtless it is the. enly thing. Therefore
we are going "slow about oaducting this
war. We admit we know nothing about
it. and rerhap silence is golden rirht now.
We do know this. We know that Germany
roust be annihilated. We know that every
maa who uses pea cr voice la any way to
aid the enemy should be called and called
bard. We know that every loyal man and
woman must rally determined to do all
povtible, Wekaow tbia and perhaps that
ft ail we do know. We have believed that
the President baa shown himself to be the
biggest man tbia country baa produced and
we are wiUing to follow b!m to the litt
cbtch. Therefore let us all hold counsel
with curselres. Let us net be too hasty
to reach conclusions cr conclude that If we
were running things they would be differ

war and she has made giant strides.

GETTING IT UP.
Tbe O. Henry Hotel la getting along In
fine shape. Tbe k eight Is now seen since .
tbe framework fcr the roof Is cn, and thi
building win be a beauty. There are ru
mor again afloat cf a f.rst-claj seven-story
concrete building down the street, a mod
era commercial hotel, and the rumor this
time is perhaps based on actual fact. How- ,
ever, tbe projectors are not quite ready to
give cut the story .but it la one la the keep
ing that gets better as It waits. Greensboro
it growing and is destined to be one cf the
biggest, as it i cow tbe best, town la tb
NOT THERE YET.
The newtpaper. writers who want to let
thing dawn as soft as possible are already
showing the wcrid where, there wouldn't
be anything absolutely fatal were it to bap
pen that the Germans secured the channel
ports, .They figure that all would eventual
ly come out in the waih, and doubtless It
would but wash day would be on for sev- '
eral year longer.
Happily the crws today shows that the
Hies are about holding their own; that the
Germans haven't yet penetrated the lines,
and there it somehow with us an abiding
. hop that they never will get through. ,
There is one thing standing out big and
sorrowful in the-new each day, and that
it the fact that thousands of German are
being killed. They are making the rush
and they are being mowed down like grain
before the haih No doubt but what the
casualty list cf cur allies ia great, but.noth- '
lag compared with the German losses. So
It becomes after all, a mathematical prop
osition. . The Germans are not numerically
aa trong as the allies and the break isaft
even. It Is a safe gamble that where one
cf the alliea is killed five Germana die. At.
tbia ratio it Un't going to take forever to
thin the ranks. And it must be remember
ed that If need be five million American
caa be put Into action more than all the
new Germaa recruit. ' Germany boasts and
make many claims, but unless she has fool
ed the world for year with her census re
port, and that ia probable she is rapidly
losing her men. And when they are gone
Germany i gone.
No one know better, thaa Kaiser Bill
what he Is up against. That is why he
isn't counting- roea but vainly looking for v
results. He is throwing his best and last
Into it, and If It happens that he fails In
getting to the channel ports be is about
done for. Of course the war wouldn't end
abruptly but G.many ia whipped already.
There are no two ways about this and the
fight is simply continuing because the ,
Kaistr has nothing more to lose and vainly
see a last hope' to gain something.
o
ARBOR DAY.
The Christian Science Monitor has this
concerning Arbor Day:
Arbor and Bird Day, to give It It full
title la Massachusetts, hat beea epe-
cislly strewed this year by Governor
McCaiL, owing to the Importance which
the war and ita need for sSips have
given to the lumber producing trees.
He ha consequently ured the school
children of the state Jo plant "school
forests, and. la recognition also of the
value cf fruit bearing trees, "class or
chards," Tbe annual practice of planting tree
la the United States, particularly those
trees attractive to birds, la now ob
served In fifteen states, although upon
different dates. It is said to have had
lu Inception with Mr. Julias Sterling
Morton cf Nebraska. Even though he
may not have begun the custom of tree
planting' on a certain day each spring,
be certainly can claim credit for the
title Arbor Day. Before the civil wax
be was the owner of a certain barren
tract cf ground, upon which, according
to popular belief, not a single tree
would grow. But Mr. Morton thought
be knew better, ordered a consign
ment of trees from the east, planted
them, and had the satisfaction of see
ing them thrive. He straightway
named bis borne Arbor Lodge, and
Later, as a member cf the Nebraska
legislature, auccecded ia persuading
that body to set aside a day In April
for the planting of trees and shrubs by
tbe citiiens. Later still, as Secretary of -Agriculture
la President Cleveland'
cabinet, be bent bis efforts toward mak
Planting Day, became a permanent In
stitution. ing Arbor Day, as be termed It, popular
nationally. So Arbor Day, or Tree
J.' Sterling Morton was one of the big
men of the nation. He waa aa early resi
dent cf Nebraska, one of the first pioneers
to ettle west of the Missouri river, and be
taw that en that land, then designated aa
the Great American Desert, tree would
grow. It waa thought the cultivation of the .
soil produced rainfall, and he advocated
Arbor Day. Tbe governor of the tate each
year would offer ubstantial prixe to the
person planting the roost trees.. Cotton
wood was the favorite, as it would better
stand the annual drought. FinUy, because
cf Morton' foresight. Nebraska presented
woodland pictures. Millions of trees were
planted each year, and to ride through that
country now and understand that those for
ests you see, cr what look like forests, were
started by one man well, it show bow
useful a citixen can be If be undertakes to
be useful.
Suppose tbe case: Suppose you have but
City dollars, and you have other uses for It,
why not take at least a part and buy a War
Sump? They pay good interest, and every
penny loaned Uncle Sam will help.
CHAMP CLARK REFUSED.
When the Governor cf Missouri offered
to band to Champ Clark the commission of
United States senator, the vacancy being
caused by the death of Senator Stone, it
was perhaps a bard matter for him to turn
It down. But be couldn't see it. He didn't
want to ouit the position as Speaker; be
doubtless had ctne thing In keeping and
be wanted to get through la the lower
bouse before be clim&ed to the upper
bouse. The speculation as to who would
succeed hlrn as Speaker suddenly vanished,
and it look like Mr. Clark will continue
Speaker about a long a be feel like it,
And in pasting it might be said be make a
good Speaker, and ometime. hi friend t
think he would make just as good a Presi
dentof the United States,
The fact that Wilmington 1 to build
ships not only helps Wilmington, but helps
the entire state. Therefore all of us re-
joicc:
THE CHANNEL PORTS.
Tbe London newspapers seem .to think
the channel porta will be lost to the French.
They axe preparing the public to think that
way, and while they insist that this great
loss will ia no way stop tbe vigorous prose
cution of the war, the American newspapers
may aa well be admitting a few things. If
the French lose Calais and Boulogne it
means that the Americana must hurry up
with at least five million mea or the war
will be won by the German people. While
the Germana haven't taken Paris, if they
m ' take the channel porta it means much more
thaa were they to take Paris. The channel
ports are almost a necessity just now, and .
if it happens, as the London Time and
News predict, that the enemy is to take
them, there must be more men rushed to
France rushed there to. stop ome other
thing that will happen, and alao to save the
British.
, Every day the war new look about the
some the enemy makes some progress and
the allies make some progres but the fact
ha been outstanding for several weeks that
slowly, ia snail fashion, the enemy has pro
gressed. Tbe hope ha been that, the fight
on the western front would have been dif
ferent. - That tht enemy has advanced de
spite all the combined effort to stop him,
must be accepted. It doesn't mean, by any
means, that the Germans are to win. It
.simply meant that, regardless of cost, al
ready over two million teen have been sac
rificed, Germany is making the supreme" ef
fort to win, and she can't do it. But we
must all be prepared for news we do not
want to hear; we must all go deeper into
our pockets to dig up tbe gold to assist in
conducting the war, and we must all avow
anew that everything we can do will be
done, because Germany must be vanquished.
And a mathematical proposition proves that
she will be. Tbe news today is not as dis- -couraging'a
it might be, but It isn't calcu
lated to cause any one to conclude that the
war is over. Long and dreary months
stretch ahead of us years, maybe and that
Is why We must all make arrangements to
buy war stamps'and Liberty bonds buy to
our utmost capacity. , .
NO EXPLANATION NEEDED.
In an official bulletin sent out by the Gov
ernment Mr. John S. Tatlock, Professor of
Standford University, tells the people "Why
America Fights Germany," and his story
of several pages is very interesting. One
page is of exceptional interest, ia which be
tells us about Germany's present govern
ment. He say:
The chief trouble with the Germans is -their
government. It has the appear
ance of allowing power to the people,
but this is only in appearance. As a .
fact, the emperor has nearly absolute
power. The ministers, or cabinet, are
responsible only to him, do his will, and
remain in office during his pleasure.
The reichstag, or congress, is little
more than. a debating society; it talks,
but does not do things. If it refuse to,
vote taxes,-the' taxes of the preceding
years are continued. '' Even the power,
to elect the members of this weak
reichstag is not equally ia the hands of
all citizens. The great cities, the home
of the progressive working class, have
the same representation as was given
'them in 1871, and therefore have far
less voting power relatively than coun
try districts, which are controlled by
the junkers, the aristocrats and great
land owners. Prussia, which dominates
Germany, is much less democratic than
the empire; the laboring class is almost
powerless. AH this meant that a small
group of selfish men can force the na
tion into war, as it did this time; and,
what Is much worse, by feverish prep
aration and by poisoning the nation's
mind, caa keep it ready and eager for
war. Laboring people seldom want
war, except for self-defense. .There
has always been a party ' in Germany
that demanded more populor freedom:
During the strain of the war this party
increased by leaps and bounds, so that
the rulers are desperately afraid of it.
By defeating the government of Ger
many we shall help the real German
people to get their rights. When all
peoples have their rights the world will
be safe for democracy.
With this explanation made clear, all can
understand the place America has in this,
world war and there could be no grounds
on which we could have well kept out. The
war ia on to a finish, and the finish just now
lacks much of being in sight. .
r
EAT POTATOES.
When you drive into the country, you
who live in potato sections, bring back a
sack or two in your, car. Then eat. them,
many ways, every day, several times a day.
Not an idea that will save the country, but -it
will help save the big food reserve that
will soon begin to sprout if it isn't eaten.
Let this fact sink in deep. - Unless we
increase our consumption of potatoes mark
edly within the next few weeks, say the
Department Of Agriculture, there will be a "'V
loss of much wheat-replacing food. If that
happens farmers may think we don't want
so many potatoes and not grow enough this
year. Americans ought not to allow that
sort of food disaster to occur.
. The Pope is going to offer another peace -proposition
the 29th of this month, but it
will have to be a peace that means the de
struction of militarism. There is no other
way, and back of tbe proposition will finally
stand ten million American soldiers. The
kaiser, can't get away with the goods be
ordered. f '
REAL ESTATE.
People are buying real estate these days,
and every time a piece of property changes
baHf the price advances. Real estate in
Greensboro and Guilford county is a gilt
edged investment, and just now more of it is
changing laaxfdj than ever before.
' THE FREE SPEECH. - ;
The free speech part of the tradition off
- this country has had an inning in the Sen-
- ate, and Hiram Johnson, -of Calif orrua who
doubtless ' sees presidential - possibilities - in)
his lung power, opposes it. The Overman f
bill only proposes' to curb free, speech whentl
that free speech is directed against the gov J
eminent . in time of war. Thatisall..!
.Johnson and those Senators who Vant to i
defeat the Overman measure cry loudly 1
against curbing the American : citizen' in his
right to say what he thinks so" long as he j
thinks he thinks. the truths yj, ;
i The American people have not been iair :
with their free speech guarantee.. Emma ;
Goldman, who is an anarchist, didn't utter ;
talk one-half as seditious as certain United
States senators. . She claimed the right of 4
utterance for her vagaries under the boast-fj
ed constitutional privilege which appears
to guarantee free speech, and. she was de-i?
ported, and the United States senators are
still talking. 'V ' . f
Free speech is one of the things we en-,
joy in this country, and so was wheat bread,
but when the war came we were limited to?
the use of wheat bread, and as a war roeas- ,
4,ure, in order to get, hold' of those who are V
sowing seeds of destruction in this country,
who are aiding the enemy in theirj sedi-
tious talks, it was proposed to lirmVrfree
speech in certain directions, and it should
be done. The Overman bill only offered
something needed as a war measure, and :
Hiram Johnson Jpnd other ; -; exceptionally K.
strong-lunged awn .who have pawed and;
bellowed on many subjects opposed - it 4
possibly more for self -exploitation than any- :j
- thing else. Today it is thought the Over- '
tman bill will be accepted, and while f an :
' amendment may be tacked on, it looks to us f
that no loyal man could object to curtail- ,
ing the flow of free speech if it helped the
government in the prosecution of the war.
" President Wilson has endorsed Overman's ;
bill; in fact, he wants it, and wants noth-
ing else; therefore it would seem that he .
should have it have it right now. :
However, so long as senators and con-
gressmen have higher political ambitions it
isn't to be expected they will always stand
""""without being tied.
