SERBIA
r,nai,W little Serbia. Attacked
V Vtawivi
in July, VJll, by Austria, her ar
m!es held the enemy off and were
in a fair way to make Austria rue
u Hint-, fatal ultimatum was
iuv -
sent to Belgrade. It was not unti
1U15, a year later, that Serbia was
massacred by the Austrian, Ger
mans and Bulgarians, the latter be
trayintr their former ally and stab
bine her in the back. It was Bui
irarla that made Serbia's defeat in
the fall of 1915 so terrible and it
was Bulgaria that tortured prison
ers and sold Serbians into slavery
Enough of the small army escaped
however, to form the nucleus of an
nthev fiL'ht!ntr machine and three
vo.ira Inter we see the Serbs and
. i
their allies administering severe de
feats on the Bulgarians and Ger
mans. Bulgaria entered the war to
obtain Serbian and Greek territory
to stalk friends, even as Prussia ha
done, and the almost ruin of Serbia
followed.
Just now we find British armies
invading Bulgarian territory, thoug
'not within the boundaries of that
country proper, and Greek, Serbian
and French armies splitting the Bui
gar and German forces in twain. Th
process is similar to that employee
by the Bulgar-Germans three years
ago.
In the meantime Sofia is said to
be interested in peace. War is aw
fully unnecessary, the pacifists are
saying after three years of undisput
ed conquest. Bulgaria is realizin
that she backed tht wrong horse. The
allies will be ready to make peace
with this robber, but they cannot do
It at the expense of Serbia, Rumania
and Greece.
Serbian morale held up under four
years of awful war, and savage
butchery of its women and children
The little country, if enough have
been spared the ravages of fire
sword and slavery, will yet emerge
in, triumph.
NAMING A TANK
Towns of more than 25,000 popu
lation in tne nan ieuerai reserve
district will have an opportuity
compete in the naming of ship3
to
al
ready built or building and towns
of under 25,000 population and
Hickory is included in these will
have a chance to name the Ameri
can tanks. These towns, taking the
county as the unit, will have to
move about if they want to name a
tank.
If everybody would help in Ca
tawba county, we might name a tank
for this good county.
Many counties In North Carolina
wim notnittg HKe tne resources in
population and wealth of Catawba
county will make a bid to name one
of these tanks.
Hickory is going over the top.
If the whole courjty will gallop
over the top with her, we will name
one of those army tanks "Catawba."
The entire marketable crop of Tex
as sweet potatoes will be canned
and sent across to the soldiers, and
we hope they will be as good as the
Catawba kind.
The Americans advanced on a 20
mile front in the Champagne sector
to a maximum depth of seven miles
on the first day. That was good prog
ress. The French made four miles.
The news will continue good, it is to
be hoped, and if the Franco-Americans
win complete success, the entire
German line in Franco will be shak
ed loose and another retreat started.
In such an event, the allied armies
will capture many thousands of pris
oners. I ii ii i i m i
Five thousand prisoners the first
day shows that the Germans were
awaro that the Americans were to
attack.
main in Belgium, it is certain. The
engineers, of which the London Times
poke, were those of the r
11 l1 11 L
vision, wnicn were in ine nateau-
Thierry region and which did such
excellent work. The 105th, hdwev-
er, have been busy, and full reports
from their sector will show that they
ave been as gallant as any of Un
cle Sam's troops.
TURKEY AND BULGARIA
Springfield Republican.
If the "westerners" had their in
nings in Gen. Foch's victory , the
"easterners" are now having theirs
in the brilliant exploit of Gen. Al-
lenby in Palestine, and in what may
prove the equally notaDie victory iu
the lallies in Macedonia Neither
Turkey nor Bulgaria, of course, is
crushed in the military sense, and
neither is yet called upon to defend
the home front. The ground wnicn
the Serbs are now gallantly winning
is not part of Bulgariai proper, but
Macedonian territory seized by the
Bulgars in the present war. Pales
tine, though long a part of the Ot
toman empire is an outlying part
where the Turks fight at disadvan
tage. Neither Turkey nor Bulgaria
will be forced to make peace in
consequence of the battles now in
progress, or of military operations
yet within calculable distance.
Yet these severe and costly de
feats when taken in connection with
the victories of the allies on the wes
tern front and the progressive de
moralization of Austria-Hungary, to
which the near east is sensitive, may
greatly strengthen the demand ior
peace both in Turkey and in Bulgaria.
It is not too soon TO consiuer uie
nnssihilitv and the effect of the el
imination of either or both of them.
Vnv some time there has been talk
of a separate peace with one or the
other of these two countries, and it
is probable that for some time past
this could have been brought about
on terms in some respect moderate.
Such a policy has been advocated
on the ground that it would hasten
the ending of the war and perma
nently detach Bulgaria and Turkey
from middle Europe.
The difficulty with this course,
however, is that in the case of these
countries as in the case of Austria
Hungary, is that the events of the
war stand in the way of offering such
terms as their rulers would easily
accept. A just peace, indeed, bears
harder in some respects on Ger
many's allies than on Germany itself.
The allies are bound to do justice to
the Slav nationalities of Austria,
and they are no less bound to pre
vent the repetition of such atrocities
as the massacre of Armenians by
Turks. The Turk may be a "clean
fighter" and on his own ground as
fine a fellow as his admirers say,
but his reign over other nationali
ties has become an anachronism. The
break-up of the Turkish empire has
therefore been decreed and is being
accomplished with the aid of revolt
ing Arabs. No matter what gen
erous terms may be offered to what
is left of Turkey, it is not possi
ble to make them such as its rulers
would easily accept.
In the case of Bulgaria also, it is
out of the question to give what
Bulgars would call good or even mod
erate terms because these Prussians
of the East have always looked up
on what they wanted as their own,
and would rage at being deprived of
their prey as bitterly as though
preyed upon. Bulgaria cannot be
given what it wants except at the
cost of its neighbors. Rumania,
Servia and Greece, and to rob allies
to bribe an enemy would be but left
handed justice. iNo country enter
ed the war in a more selfish and cal
culating spirit that Bulgaria and
whatever symptoms of repentance
it and its crafty king may have
shown are due solely to consterna
tion at having backed the wrong
horse. That the war has lasted so
long with such lamentable cost in
life and treasure is due in great
measure to the shifty course of
Bulgaria which by its strategic posi
tion was able to take Servia in the
rear, to block the Black sea to the
allies and to open to Germany and
Austria their corridor to the East.
Bulgaria has given no mercy and de
serves none. The allies are under
no temptation to retaliate in kind
for the savage massacres in Servia,
but they are not under the slightest
obligation to add a square inch to
Bulgaria's territory.
When, howeveij, the Turks ;and
Bulgars are quite convinced that
they are on the losing side, when they
realize that to keep on fighting
Germany's battles only means great
er losses and increased weakness and
poverty after the war, we may look
(tor ia growing and perhaps irres
istible demand for peace. Aside from
setting strict limits to their domain,
the terms of the allies need not be
harsh, and wide territories and rule
over alien races are not essential to
prosperity. IBy commercial agree
moits, by loans, by the supply of
urj ently needed commodities, the
all. ?s can do much to repair the rav
agi s of war, and it is in the general
int rest to have the near East pros
pel 9us and contented. Turkey and
Bu iraria may not be ready yet to ac
cej t the best terms which it is pos-
sib q for the allies to give, but a
fe more defeats like those which
th r have just suffered may bring
tht n to this frame of mind. When
the r capitulate, when the allies con
tro the Balkans and the Black sea
thl war will be in its final phase,
ant the transformation will be rapid.
THE YELLOW YAM
Ka. sas City Star.
1 rom the negro and white southern
soh iers who are serving in France
can e the cry for yellow yams. The
bex eficient American government
har tened to the desire that was waft
ed across the sea, and within the
nea few weeks the toothsome sweet
potato will be upon the bill of fare
in ill the army camps of this na
tion in the fighting, training and
working areas across the water.
In order to supply this new de
nial id for yellow yams and to place
th product In shinnine: and keen
ing condition, processing plants have
beeu established in Dallas and in
other parts of Texas. Under the
treatment to which the sweet nota-
toes are subjected they are reduced
to candied and comnressed form
without losing any of their original
nutritious and appetizing qualities.
They will keep for any length of

y Children become constipated as readily

time and may be served in a variety
of ways.
It is stated that the government
has already contracted for several
million bushels of yellow yams and
tbat the first shipments are already
on their way to France. Practical
ly the entire marketable production
of sweet potatoes of Texas and oth
er southern states will be comman
deered by the government for sup
plying the requirements of the sol
diers abroad, according to informa
tion received by dealers and grow
ers. Enlargements of the process
ing plants are being made and new
ones will be erected to handle the
product properly.
That the negro soldiers in France
will welcome the arrival of yellow
yams is not to be doubted. The let
ters of many of these men dwell up
on the fond memories that they have
to the yellow yams in the home life
that they have left behind. Eating
is ever uppermost in the mind of the
average negro of the rural district
and in thp list of good things that
go to satisfy his fondest longings the
yellow yam occup.es a place along
with the luscious watermelon. If
there is anything lacking in the
contentment of the negro soldiers
abroad the supplying of yellow yam
to the war menu will meet the de
ficiency, it is confidently expected.
MR. POU AT NEWTON
Charlotte Observer.
Mr. James H Pou is booked fo ra
patriotic speech in Newton Saturday
afternoon, and lhe Kecord is not at
all overly bold when it makes the
promise that the people who hear his
speech will give it estimation as "the
best war speech they ever heard." Mr.
Pou is not only a man of much per
sonal popularity, but he is a speak
er of remarkable force, well "read"
on the war and the issues connected
with it, and to the Observer's mind
he some time ago delivered a speech
that may be regarded as the standard
war oratorical production in North
Carolina. There is both entertain
ment and instruction in store for the
people of Newton and Catawba coun
ty in the wa rspeech Mr. Pou is to
give them.
WOMAN IS LICENSED BY
PRESBYTERY TO REACH
Elmyra, N. Y., Sept. 27 Mrs.
WHlliam H. Chapman of this city, has
just been licensed to preach by the
Chemung presbytery after a lengthy
discussion and some opposition. The
issuing of a license to a woman to
preach is said to overturn all prece
dent of the Presbyterian church in
the United States and to be a viola
tion of the rules of the Presbyterian
general assembly. The action is tak
en here as a war-time measure. The
one dissenting member of the Che
mung presbytery announced that he
will appeal to the general assembly.
Rev Mrs. Chapman has been filling
the pulpit of the North Presbyterian
church here while the pastor is en
gaged in ,Y. M. C. A. war work in
France. She was a high school
teacher here. Her husband is the
Protestant chaplain at the New
York State reformatory.
OCTOBER DRAFT CALLS
HAVE BEEN CANCELLED
Washington, Sept. 27. Because of
the epidemic of Spanish influenza
in army camps, Provost Marshal
General Crowder last night cancelled
calls for the entrainment between
October 7 and 11 of 142,000 draft reg
istrants. During the 24 hours ending at
noon yesterday, 6,139 new cases of
influenza in army camps had been
reported to the office of the surgeon
general of the army. One hundred
and seventy deaths, resulting chiefly
from pneumonia following influenza,
and 723 new cases of pneumonia al
so were reported.

ASSAULT KEYSTONE OF
ENEMY DEFENSIVE ARCH
Washington, Sept. 27. The key
stone of the great German defensive
arch in France is under assault in
the Fronco-Amei:am .offensive
launched yosterday morning in the
Champagne over a front of 40 miles.
Because of the place of attack se
lected by Marshlal Foch, military
officials here regarded the new blow
as one of wide strategic possibili
ties. It was not until General Per
shing's official statement arrived late
last night that definite idea was giv
en of the extent of the initial rush.
The Americans advanced on a front
of 20 miles to an average depth oi
seven miles, taking more than 5,')00
prisoners and 12 towns. The
French watr office previously had
reported that the French troops far
ther west had advanced four miles
at certain points.
The Point of attack selected by
Marshal Foch caused no great sur
prise here. As far back as 1915 thg
French strategists saw that the
Champagne front offered the greatest
possibilities in repelling the invaders
with the least expenditure of men.
There was fierce fighting that year
on this sector, but the French lack
ed the rserve power to press forward
in accordance with their strategic de
signs and were forced to settle back
to tactical operations and defensive
measures.
Since then the line between Rheims
and Verdun has been relatively un
changed, the last offensive effort of
the enemy against Rheims in July
having failed to break it. On that
occasion, American troops aided in
repelling the eastern jaw of the en
emy, pincer attack on the cathedral
city, the ,142nd (Rainbow) division
having been brigaded with French
troops on this front where it won high
commendation from the French lead
ers. As the French plan of 1915 has
been discussed, it contemplated the
driving of a great wedge through the
line of the Meuse, where it skirts
the forest of Ardennes, near the
Beian border.

Her Duties
Those who (minister to the sick

like poison to me and was sure to be
followed by distressing heart trouble
I could not properly digest any
