German submarines are attacking
fishing craft on this side of the At

crossing to the other side, where the
war will be won.
It is proposed to make the tax on
gasoline two cents a gallon, and this
won't be enough to prevent many

DON'T CLAIM IT ALL
Amier leans have every reason to
be proud of what the'.r sold ers are
doing in France, but so far this has
been only a minor part of the light
ing. The French and British are
doing the bulk of it, though the Am
ericans probably have a task to per
form, the doing of which will thrill
the world. The Americans are gal
lant soldiers and they have the pep,
but our allies are carrying the loa.l
just now, and it may be some days
yet before they have taken on a b &
job on the'.r own account.
It is nil right for the little papers
like the Record, for example to
assume too much credit for our men
but when the larger papers get to
bragging, the Canadians, French and
English are bound to smile.
What America has added to the
allies is ultimate victory in place of
defeat, and American soldiers will
put the finishing touches to the Huns
But even then, our allies will be do
ing their part, and will deserve much
credit, and we can afford to give u
to them. American soldiers al
ready are doing that.
WAR TIME PROHIBITION
War time prohibition will come be
fore the senate Monday for final ac
tion, the house already having pass
ed the measure, and it is o be
hoped that the senate will act
promptly and outlaw liquor for the
per od of the war. According to
figures submitted by Rev. R. L. Da
vis, who gleaned them from author
itative sources, 38,000,000 bushels
of grain are used annually in the
manufacture of liquor; 64,000,000
pounds of sugar and 150.000 gallons
of molasses are consumed; and 3,
000,000 tons .of coal.
The congress can well afford to
cut liquor out during the war. All
the grain, 3Ugar and coal are need
ed for better purposes and John Bar
leycorn, now on his last legs, can
take a back scat.

Severe food shortage in Holland
was reported by the passengers of a
Dutch liner that arrived yesterday
at an American port. William F.
Enck said that he had lost sixty
pounds in weight 'n the last three
His: snout in Holland. He ad-
ded that wheat was unootainaoie
and that bread was of poor quality.
He said that Hollanders Deueve
Germany will be beaten by next
Anvil. Vhrmwh the increasing
stivmHli of tho American forces in
Fiance. He declared that U0 per
oovit nf Hollanders are pro-Ally,
mainlv because 700 Dutch sailors
have been killed in submar.ne at
tacks. Jan Schootmi'yerJ, a Dutch gov
ernment official, sa'd that Hollanders
at first resentful of the seizure of
Dutch :hips by the United States,
now believe itA was for the best. Ger
many promised to send Holland large
quantities of coal in return for veg
etables. However, the Kaiser
shipped Holland only a small quan
tity of coal, of inferior quality. Hol
land, he sa"d, thereupon terminated
the dealings. Schootmeyer assert
ed that lack of coal had pract cally
made the port of Rotterdam inactive.
That from five to fifteen deserters
from the German army arrive daily
in Amsterdam was 'the statement ot
Carlos A. Lindheimer, who has been
attached to the Argentine Consulate
in that city.
GEN. BULLARI) THE AUTHOR
If the Spanish government has de
cided to take over German ships in
terned in Spanish waters to replace
those Spanish vessels sunk by Hun
submarines, the cause is not hard to
find. The victories of the allies on
the western front have opened the
eyes of all neutrals, including pro
German Spain, and they will begin to
hold out at ff upper lips.
A good many people wonder why
criminals could not be placed in the
army and set to fighting, if they
want to. If the feelings of regulnr
soldiers arc not taken into account,
the desire of the French people
should be considered, and they have
no relish for a bunch of men who
would bo hard to control.
Prince Lichnowsky, former Ger
man ambassador to London, has been
expelled from -the Prussian house of
lords. L'ichnowsky deserves ex
pulsion from this august body, be
cause he violated an order of the
German government In refusing to
suspend the truth during the war.
"There is nothing from the mean
est thing that crawls to perpendicu
lar man," writes J.R. King in the
Springfield Republican, "that doesn't
turn tail and run when the tide is
against him. A bullly is always a
dirty fighter. Watch for the back
of the Hun."
An old treaty with Prussia guar
anteeing the immunity of fishermen
from attack by enemy craft has been
agreed to by the Amer'can and
German governments, but here a
German guarantee is worth no more
than it was in Belgium.
Army and Navy Journal.
It will be remembered that in the
fighting that marked the opening of
the second battle of the Marne early
in July ''an American general in
command of the American forces
south of the Marne'' sent the fol
lowing message to French head
quarters: '"We regret being unable
on this cccas'on to follow the coun
sels of our masters the French, but
the American flag has been forced
to retire. This is unendurable and
none of our soldiers would under
stand their not being asked to do
whatever is necessary to repair a
situation which Is humiliating to us
and unacceptable! to our country's
honor. We are going to counterattack."
Several newspapers identified the
officer who sent th's message as Ma-
jor-General Omar Bundy, but Wil
liam Howard Taft in an article in
the Louisville Courier-Journal states
that the message was sent by Maj.-
Gen. Robert L. Bullard. Ex-Presi-dent
Taft's statement reads: "The
course of Gen. Bullard and his com
mand at Chateau Thierry makes
one's heart beat high. He was or
dered by his French commander t
give ground. lie declined, on the
ground that his troops did not know
how to retreat. He ordered them
forward. The check of the German
offensive on the Marne began with
this sharp counter of h's men. His
act savored insubordination. Cnly
a brillkint success could justify it.
He took the chance, and report
makes him a lieutenant-general."
Acknowledging s ignorance of
the author of the message, the New
York Sun said of It in an editorial:
"We know that this courteous r-es-,age
to a brave ally, gently reject
ing h's counsel, but ever so politely
t xpla'ning the reason why, is one of
the documents of this war that will
go into the school histories. Since
Joffre's order at the Marne nothing
finer has come from a soldier's pen.
None of our soldiers would under
stand.' The tribute to the Amer
icans, penned In all modesty by their
commander, reaches the sublime."

If t were seriously asked (and it
wouM b no untimely question);
Who njf all teachers and masters
that have ever taught hath drawn the
most disciples. after him, both in re
ligion and manners t might be not
untruly answered, Custom. Though
virtue be commended for the most
persuasive in her theory, and con
science In the plain demonstration
of the spirit finds most evinc i;g; yet
so it happens for the most part that
custom still is silently received for
the best instructor, filling each es
tate of life and profession with ab
ject and servile principles, depressing
the high and heaven-born sp'rit of
man, far beneath ihe cond'tion
wherein either God created him or
sin hath sunk him.
To pursue the allegory, custom be
ing but a mere face, as echo is a
mere, voice, rests not in he rur.accom
plishment until by secret inclination
she incorporate herself w'th error,
who being a blind and serpentine
body without a head, "willingly ac
cepts what he wants, and supplies
what her incompleteness went
seeking. Hence it is that error
supports custom, custom counten
ances error; and these two between
them, would persecute and chase
away all truth and solid wisdom out
of human life were it not that God
rather than men, once in many ages
calls together the prudent and re
lig'ous counsels of men deputed to
repress the encroachments and to
work off the inveterate bolts and ob
scurities wrought upon otfr minds
by the subtle insinuating of error
and custom who with the numerous
and vuflgar train of their followers,
make it their chief design to envy
and cry down the industry of free
reasoning, under the terms of humor
and innovation as if the womb of
teeming truth were to be closed up,
if she presume to bring forth aught
that sorts not with their ther un
chsvcd r.oticng rind suppositions.

"I suffered agonies -from pains in
my back," declares S. L. Webster,
the well known resident ( 101
Teachtree street, Chprlotte, in a
public statement. "I couldn't stoop
over without much suffering. My
liver was sluggish which often
caused severe headaches and dizzi
ness and I had a bad taste in my
mouth.
"I took two bottles of Dreco and
now am glad to tell an entirely dif
ferent story. The first bottle of
Dreco helped me very much so I got
another and now I can truthfully
say that Drecto has stopped every
pain in my back, relieved the head
aches and dizziness and made me feel
like a new person.
"I have gained three pounds in
weight and feel fine."
Mr. Webster is probably best
known on account of his business
connection with the Charlotte Casket
Company. He is also prominently
identified with the affairs of the
First Baptist church of his commu
nity. He makes the above state
ment for publication in order that
others who may be suffering as he
was may read and be benefitted.
Dreco is purely a vegetable com
pound composed of roots, herbs,
barks, leaves and berries. It con

is known best for its beneficlent ac

Dreco is dispensed by most gooa

emmended in Hickory by C. M. Shu

iWashington, Aug. 22 Six djays
snent as a prisoner on a German
submarine which was so crowded
with men that there was scarce
ly room to sleep convinced Captain
David Evans of the British steamer
Penlstone, sunk by the U-boat, that
more exploits like the arming of the
steam trawler Triumph are contemp
lated hy the German raiders, On
his visit here, where he reported his
experience to naval officers, Captain
Evans explained that the submarine
carried 77 men, more than twice the
number of a normal crew, and his
impression was that its officers in
tended to convert some captured snip
into a raider or use the vessel as
another ship for U-boats though it
has been reported that double crews
are carried on submarines in order
to train enough men to keep up th
warfare.

THE ELECTRIC SHOE SHOP
Acts like dynamite on a sluggish
liver and you lose a
day's work.
There's no reason why a person
should take sickening, salivating cal
omei when a few cents buys a large
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone a
perfect substitute for calomel.
It is a pleasant, vegetable liquid
which will start .your liver just as
surely as calomel, but it doesn't
make -ou sick and can not salivate.
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is
perfectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous arug. It
is mercury and attacks your bones.
Take a dose of nasty calomel today
and you will feel weak, sick and
nauseated tomorrow. Don't lose a
day's work. Take a spoonfu. of
Dodson's Liver Tone instead and
you. will wake up feeling greaf No
more biliousness, constipation, slug
gishness, headache, coated tongue or
sour stomach. Your druggist says if
you don't find Dodson's Liver Tone
acts better than horrible calomel
your money is waiting for you.

Economize Wisely
A Maxwell Car Will Help
Waste is often committed -when the in
tention is to economize.
A Maxwell car, famous for its economy,
will cost you only a few dollars a month to
operate and maintain.
Which is the real economy:
(1) To use the car and
save time, strength, and
mental vigor?
(2) To do without the
car, lose time in your busi
ness, lose the health gained
from motoring, and worry
yourself into illness?
Use of a Maxwell car will give you self
confidence.
Your neighbors and associates will get
mental inspiration from you.
As wave circles widen when a pebble hits
the -water, so will your good example bene
fit your entire community.
Save yes; but do it sensibly, and let tha
Maxwell help.
