SVnUDAY, OCT, 27, IS) 17 Th- fvlU.i who would jump to if ably viul tioc initial. it- land was invaded prob like to see two gigan , anv.ed to the teeth, fac ing e:.th other like savages ready to strangle each other. If Germany should wh-'which is 3mposs.ible America would be the only countij capable of standing in her way. And this country would do it. But the horrors of Belgium and Serbia would be as nothing compared to the war in which the United States and tht l'rus.van World Empire would light in the r.ext 50 years. We are trying to prevent that. The Austro-Cierman offensive on the Isoiuo has undone in two or three (lavs what the Italians were able to accomplish only after months of se rious lighting during the summer. A break in the line caused a retire ment from the Isonzo with the loss of .'lO.tid'i prisoners, flOO.guns and the impairment of the morale of the troops. The loss of the 30,000 pris oners will not hurt Italy as the loss of the h.avy field pieces, but the ter rain that is surrendered will be diffi cult to regain, admitting that Gener al Cadonuu will be able to hold his own before the combined armies. Brother Berkley of the Times-Mercury disputes one point in the criti cism of the gentleman's rail-splitting picture of Lincoln. Our brother sayi. you do not drive the wedge into the log where the Record said you do. It wouldn't behoove us to insist on our point, simply because we have split rails our own way, but we will let Dr. Ramsay, George Ivey and George Hall decide who is right. 1'residunt Wilson has called on all tho churches to pray tomorrow for the succi ss of American arms for peace with victory. If we will make the prayer strong enough and believe in it and follow it with action, suc cess m bound to crown our efforts to win the war. The bf.st pun that has been pulled since Wm. Shakespeare quit the bus iness was extracted by the Chicago Herald, which declared that LaFol lette would bo 'Hun-honored, Hun wept; and Ilun-sung." If the rest of them could put a little Anglo-French p:p into their condiments, the season would be too warm for the Germans even in Rus sia. There has been a great deal said about the country's not realizing whai tho war moans, but the total of tne subscriptions to the Liberty Loan will show -that it does. This is the last day to subscribe, but most of you can run to either bank in time to get in to help kick goal, so to speak. The Liberty Bonds will take somi thing over $200,000 out of the banks of Hickory, but the interest and prin cipal eventually will return. For a $50 Liberty Loan, the Rec ord will be sent to any mail sub scriber for 25 years, or if you insist, 30 years. We simply had a hunch that tht. Also-German offensive on the Isonzo would go hard with Italy. Max Gardner handed 'em the real thing in his talk here Thursday night. Oh, for a couple of pounds of cot ton.

As a naval operation the German victory in the Baltic falls so far short of full success that Berlin must find it deeply disappointing. On the military sicVe the Germans or course, profit greatly, by the mas tery of the gulf of Riga, but ever, from the military siae me yctui mint? for far less than if it had been won six weeks earlier when- the Rige drive was just beginning and r.prmfln navv was kept from co operating by the mutiny. On the naval side the German success was v,n more incomplete because the imnnrtnnt Russian forces which had .,-mP(i hopelessly trapped in the imlf succeeded after all in making their way by the inside passage throuo-h Moon sound and into tne irulf of Finland, rejoining the main fleet. To prevent this was of course tho. Vhief problem of the German naval strategists and the failure eoi. siderably mitigates the Russian de. fpnt It is only fair to add that the problem set. the German admiralty nvtrnmplv difficult because of tho Q-eorranhLeal conditions. Be tween the southern entrance to tht rulf of Riga, which was protected bv mine fields covered by long-rang Russian guns on Oesel island to the northern entrance between Dago Is land and the mainland is over 100 miles, and at the north the Russians had two exits available. The Ger man's could not divide their forces without risk, and in concentrating against the trapped Russian squad ron they had always to be thinking of the main Russian fleet, the fight ing qualities of which were proble matical. Although no doubt en couraged to bolder tactics than in the past by the demoralization of the Russian navy, the Germans evi dently did not desire to bring on a fleet engagement. Their forces were greater and they would prob ably have won but it might have been at a cost which the German navy, which has England still to deal with, could not afford. Temporarily the North sea fleet could be weakened to assure victory in the Baltic, but only on condition that the borrowed ships or an equivalent could be replaced. To destory the Russian fleet was a tempting objective and if Germany and Russia alone had been concerned an effort would of course have been made, even at considerable risk, to make the victory decisive. Either the Russian squadron caught in the trulf of Rica, would have been smashed, or there would have been a great fleet engagement, victory in which would have given the Ger mans undisputed mastery in the Bal tic. Such mastery they may yet achieve, but it is made considerably more dit ficult bv the reunion of the Russian forces. Reval, the great Russian na val base, is being evacuated, but this shift will be a source of strength rather than weakness. It is a good base and its elaborate works repre sent an immense outlay, but its de fense rests upon undisputed possession of the Esthonian peninsula, which in turn depends upon control of the gull of Riga and its islands. Having seiz ed the islands and landed troops on the mainland, the Germans are in a position to attack Reval from the rear, and the Russians have not for gotten Port Arthur. The future of the Russian fleet is somewhat uncertain, but for the present it gains a little security from the addition of the Riga units which had been given up for lost, and the same considerations which made the Germans avoid a fleet engagement may make them hesytate to push into the gulf of Riga to attack a fleet protected by mine fields and shore batteries. The conditions, in short, are very much like those which de ter the British admiralty from the aggressive measures against Ger man bases urged by the armchair Nelsons. The achievement of the Germans in taking Oesel and the other islands and seizing the impor tant routes to Petrograd which they cover should not be minimized. It puts the Russians at a greater disadvan tage than before and may lead to new disasters "when the (Opportunity is exploited in the methodical German fashion. But for the moment the failure to destroy an important port of the Russian navy strengthens the defense at a critical point and with winter so near the resulting delay may be Russia's salvation. The Petrograd account of the recent op erations showed that the Russian na vy is capable of making a brave fight against heavy odds. Train Schedules SOUTHERN Westbound No. 15 Ar Hickory 7:40 a. m.

CLINE Newton, N. C. COUNTRY BOYS SHOW UP WORSE THAN CITY BOYS County boys, according to recent draft data, showed up worse in their physical examinations for army ser vice than did city boys. A greater ner cent of voune men from the country were found unfit for mili tary service because of physical de fects than was the case with young men raised ;n cities. Mr. J. A. Nydegger of the United Statesfpub lic health service, who is authority for the comparison, accounts for this difference through the lack of med ical inspection in the country schools, he says: Wjhile in this country most of the city schools have adopted 'medical inspection,.- most of the rural institu tions have none. In this lies the fact that insanitary conditions in these places produce 75 per cent of the barring men from the United States forces. 'Defective eyes, teeth, ears and throat among the youth of ru ral communitiess have been found to bp due lare-elv to conditions in the rural schools. Improper desks, and seats also have caused mucin spinal curvature, leading the other faulty conditions. These conditions ought to be corrected at once, and school children all over the country should be examined because de fects arising at their period of life as a rule cannot be overcome later." The state board of health says that this is just another surprise that the physical examinations incident to the selective draft have made known. Everybody expected! a reasonable number of rejections on account of physical unfitness among: our young men," says the board, "but as they were the pick of our f.ock and tht best of our manhood, we were more than surprised when it yas learned that something like a third failed to qualify. "This convinced us that something had to be done particularly for ou, young men who are now m the mak mg. Many suggestions have been offered but medical school inspection i out-weighs them all. That thel country boy is showing up worse! than the city boy is a more evident; reason that a state wide medical ' school inspection law is what is need ed, j "North Carolina is probably the' only state that has this law. Be-; ginning November 1, this law goes into effect in thirty-five counties, and should another drait be necessary in the next several years, North Carolina country boys at least will be expected to show up with their city cousins." MINISTERIAL STUDENT IS HELD ON SERIOUS CHARGE (New York, Oct. 27. George Ed ward Newton, who said he is a schol arship student at the Episcopal Gen eral Theological seminary here, and i a Sunday school superintendent, was arrested, charged with using the mails to defraud by collecting chari table funds from Harvard alumni for an alleged mythical "Harvard X club." Newton was captured by post office inspectors through a decoy registered letter. He was held in $1,500 bail for the federal grand jury. REICHSTAG LEADERS SEND WORD MICHAELIS MUST GO Amsterdam, Oct. 27. The mapority leaders in the reichstag mada a for mal declaration to Rudolf con Valen tini, chief of the emperor's civil cab inet, to the effect that Chancellor Michaelis no longer could carry on the chancellorship. The leaders as serted that the chancellor himself had asked them so to inform the emperor. ( ALKALINF) GERM DESTROYING TEETH CLEAN SIHG It, NEUTRAL! ZIjJI GUAR A.. VCO jvnc jo r3 acaiAk ro.

The tribunes of the chamber were filled to capacity. After a debate on the opportunities of proclaiming martial law, the president of the dip lomatic commission spoke in favor of a law wnrHpfl no follows: "A state of war between Brazil and Germany is hereby acknowledged and proclaimed. The president of the republic is authorized to adopt the measures in his message of the 25th of October, and to take all steps tending to ensure national defense and public security." , : The virtually unanimous vote of the deputies was received with gen eral acclamation. President Braz has sanctioned the proclamation of a state of war with Germany. According to the newspapers, tor pedo boat destroyers have received or ders to proceed to Bahia and take possession of the German gunboat Eber, which has been lying there for some time. ' ! , KEPT HER AWAKE The Terrible Pains in Back and Sides. Cardui Gave Relief. Marksville, La. Mrs. Alice Johnson, of this place, writes: "For one year 1 suffered with an awful misery in my back and sides. My left side was hurting me all the time. The misery was something awful. I could not do anything, not even sleep at night. It kept me awake most of the night ... I took different medicines, but nothing did me any good or relieved me until I took Cardui . . . I was not able to do any of my work for one year and I got worse all the time, was confined to my bed off and on. I got so bad with my back that when I stooped down I was not able to straighten up again ... I decided I would try Cardui ... By time I had taken the entire bottle I was feeling pretty good and could straighten up and my pains were nearly all gone. I shall always praise Cardui. I con- j tinued taking it until I was strong and well." If you suffer from pains due tc female complaints, Cardui may be just what you need. Thousands of women who once suffered in this way now praise Cardui for their present good health. Give it a trial.
