MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS Persons who are about to lose hope of Russia's doing anything in this war, especially since the resignation of General Alexieff as chief of staff, can find parallels in French history for almost anything that might hap pen in democratic Russia, including the dismissal of all officers of the old re gime. It will be recalled that the French army was stripped of its com manders during the revolution, thous ands of the nobility joining the ene my, and mere nonenities being plac ed in command. Wiell, good resulted after a time. Napoleon once as serted that every French private car ried in his knapsack the baton of a marshal, and while thi3 cannot be a3 literally true of the Russians, it is a fact that there are many men of intelligence and patriotism in the army who can command men. The Russian situation is not hopeless.

MONDAY, SEPT. 21. 11)17 A GOOD POINT iDr. Joyner in his address here Fri day evening at the dedication of the new hteh school laid special empha sis on discipline in the home and school. Parents alone know how dif ficult it is to obtain obedience and sometimes it seems as if the effort were wasted. But discipline is important. An 2nDnnonDnDDaniinnnannoocaadncanaDnnnnnnDQ Special at Pastime Theatre This Afternoon andTonight n E3 a timmnmirnMinnuntuiiiiiiiiii'iniHtun 0 a m a Professional Cards Rev. J. II. Bennett, pastor of Cen tenary Methodist church at Greens boro, has been suspended on the charge of immoral conduct, and he has left that city after admitting his guilt to the officers of the church. He was regarded as one of the leaa ing ministers in the Western con ference, and his conduct is a source of sorrow to everybody in the state. B a a I Kingdon Gould, son of George J. Gould, is now a member of the na tional army, the rich young man with a new wife being the first called. He put in a plea for exemption and news papers everywhere discussed his case. .Congressman Hefiin of Alabama intimates stronclv that some of those unruly boy may come round later in proGermang jn congress were not life, after it is too late for him to-workinff fof nothingr and they shouid secure an education, and he may make bfi tarned round s0 the public can in. a good citizen, but the records show' cfc them even if they navent been that a big proportion of unruly boys , puilfcy of a great crim never amount to anything. It is im-j . portant therefore that obedience to Th f . b ing tomorrow regard- autnomy at nomc ana at scnuoi ,lcss. Let's be there instilled in children if they are to derive the most benefit from their op portunities. By helpful cooperation between teacher and parents, good results will be obtained. Parents want their chil dren to make useful men and women; there is not a parent in North Caro lina who does not want his children to have better opportunities than he himself had. That's mother and fath er nature. lAt the beginning of this new school year, when so much is at stake, the Record would urge that teachers and parents become .better acquainted, that the start made last year at the South school, where undoubtedly much helpfulness resulted, be continued, and that a similar association be formed in each of the other schools. Let everybody work together for the benefit of the community. STILL ANOTHER Another piece of German treacn cry has been exposed by Secretary Lansing. This time the American legation at Bucharest in August, 1916, was imposed upon, but hap pily the outrage was discovered by Secretary Andrew of the American le gation,, and the horrible plot foiled. The Germans had shipped to the legation bombs and dead microbes for the purpose of blowing up Ru mania and poisoning the water and people. This was done under the protection of the United Stateo, whose representatives had agreed to look after German interests in Ru mania. iMr. Lansing probably will have an exposure every day or two. Already he has shown what the German min ister at Buenos Aires wanted to do to Argentine ships, using Sweden as the medium of sending the instruc tions; what von Eckhardt proposed in Mexico City; how Bernstorff was en deavoring to bribe congressmen to keep the United States from protect ing its fundamental rights. The American public is looking for the next. CANT BE TRUSTED Emperor William of Germany is a peace loving man, now that his armies are losing the booty which he thought they would win. He wasn't a peace loving man over three years ago when the Austrian government sent a 48-hour ultimatum to little Serbia, knowing that Russia would not suf fer Austria to impose on this coun try. Emperor William, the records show, spent most of his reign in trick ery or in rattling the sabre. If he had been a man of peace, he would have prevented the brutal Austrian ultimatum or at least he would have informed Austria that Germany would not fight its battles. The Hlohenzollerns and Hapsburgs have committed the worst crimes that have ever darkened so-called Civili zation, and the world,, as the presi dent's reply to the pope says, can place no dependence on them. They cannot be trusted these wilful murderers of millions of men, women and children. Chancellor Michaelis hand-picked a committee from the reichstag, and these gents are the German people to whom the Berlin peace note refers. "Resting at the foot of the Blue Ridge," writes Dr. T. M. Jordan in the State Journal. It's Dobson, isn't it, Doc 7 I H fw t : I Vi Fare you well, fair. Come to the fair. MAKING THE DRAFT SELECTIVE Springfield Republican. There seems to be no ground for objecting to the proposal of the war department to proceed at once with the physical examination', of the 7,000,000 registered men who have not been drafted, concerning which the opinion of the states has been asked. Such consultation is in itself eminently correct, since one of the things to be aimed at is the avoid ance of frk-tiof, and when the pro cedure has once been established it is well not to change it without mak ing sure that the change is acceptable. ISuch a modification as is proposed would at all events have in its fa vor the fact that it i3 meant to em. prasize the selective feature of the draft, of which the country has shown approval. No great objection has been made to the method first adopt ed, which practically amounted to fixing priority in service by lot. This was simple, intelligible and fair, and the country has been ready to abide by it, yet with a certain vague disap pointment that more has not been made of the principle of intelligent selection. The case of the married men in particular at once revealed a weakness in the system. It was ap parently the view of the war depart ment that exemptions should be spar ingly given so that the first quota could be filled out of the first batch es of drafted men. But the country had supposed that the first army was to be made out of the fit men who could best go first, and that if the need continued those provisionally exempted could go later. iSuch flexibility can more easily be given to the system if the exam ination of registered men proceed as is now proposed. The war department will know better where it stands when it has full figures of the num ber of men physically fit for service and simultaneously it will be possi ble to collect statistics of industry in order to calculate the exemptions ne cessary on economic grounds. With as many men under training as can be handled at present it will be pos sible to analyze the whole situation more deliberately and thus to work out tentative principles of selection which will mobilize the whole strength of the nation in the most orderly and efficient manner. The essential first thing was to get army organization started promptly with an adequate supply of recruits for a beginning, and this sufficient justifies the method thus far adopted, in which the chief stress is put on the draft number. ,But if this is the first word, in selective con scription, it is by no means the last, and the plan for going on with the ex aminations point toward possible im provements. Incidentally it would have the considerable advantage of de finitely eliminating those who cannot pass the physical tests and leaving them free to arrange their lives accordingly.
