This is not a cheerful mes sage, but is one which is believed to be necessary in order that America may know how Englishmen feel during the closing days of the third year of ; the great war. It is a regrettable fact that never since the re- j treat from Mons has gloom been thicker than to-1 day on the. London streets, in the-Clubs, in homes, I and even In some government offices. The im mediate cause, of course, is Russia's sudden rever sal of f ormafter a totally unexpected, but specta :ularly successful offensive. But secoridly, there is a suspicion prevalent that there has bjeen no appreciable reduction of the submarine menace. Thirdly, there is disappoint ment of America's slowness in entering whole heartedly into the war, as is exemplified by the Congressionarv)bstruction of President Wilson's ond Program, $he Shipping Board, etc. Fourthjy, the increased cost of the war and the ?rospects 3gher ;axes.

Greenville is to Furnish Ambulance Under the leadership of J. L. Little a meeting was held in the court house yesterday afternoon for the purpose of raising money to provide an ambu lance for the use of North Carolina troops during the war. The call for fifty ambulances has gone out among the towns and cities of the state, and a ready towns have contributed one or more. Durham has contributed two, Wilson two, Raleigh one, and several other towns one. Each ambulance costs $750, and it is believed that this sum will be raised in Greenville today without any trou ble. This town has not shown much activity so far, due undoubtedly to the fact that there s onmilitary organi zation here, but Greenville is not lack ing in patriotism, and here is one op portunity to show a patriotic spirit in a concrete way. With only about twenty people pres ent at the meeting $149 was raised in a few minutes. Two committees, con sisting of W. B. Bowen and G. B. W. Hadley. J. L. Simmons and B. W. Mose ley were appointed to make a thor ough canvass o fthe men of the town this morning, and the results were very gratifying. This is a cause that has a personal appeal to everyone who has any one near to him who may have to go to the war. Greenville should not stop at one ambulance, but should be able to raise enough to furnish two of them without any difficulty. This paper will be glad to receive donations for this most worthy cause Each day there will be published a list of contributions, and Greenville should "come across" with generous heart and open pocketbook.
