General Pctain, commander in chief of the French armies, is to be raised to the rank of marshal of France, it was decided today. Messrs. J. L. Riddle ani K. C. Menzies motored to Charlotte Joday. in Germany when the present revolu tionary storm is blown over and ad vocates of this view consequently fear his return to his former empire. On the other hand, the fact that the former ruler placing himself or being placed in the hands of the new ru lers of Germany would be welcomed in other quarters. These rulers, ths Morning Post argues, should be able to execute judgment upon him and in so doing would only be acting as fitting agents of justice. 653,655 TELEGRAMS PACIFIC leterest HiCKnPv PtrtNTSSTILL NO CH BOOST WAR WORK With employes of manufacturing plants coming forward with hand some contributions -and with several 'Jirge contributions expected before the day is over, the prospects for raising the $15,000 allotment for the United War Work Campaign were brightar in Hickory on next to the iast day of the big drive.

Business men of the "United States are urged by the directors of the American Chamber of Commerce in London to endeavor to induce the United States congress promptly to create an American re construction commission to deal with the economic relations between Am erica and Great Britain. This pro posed commission, asserts the state ment issued by the directors of the American Chamber of Commerce heie, should contain a strong repre sentation of men of sound experience and judgment in matters of foreign policy a.ul trade and should have au thority to proceed to act at ence with similar bodies of Great Britain and other countries at war with the cen tral powers. The time has come for the business communities of the United Slates to prepare to formulate an after-war policy, says the statement. The Am er'can Chamber is prompted to make this recommendation because it be lieves the establishment of friendly trade re atio'r.s between English speaking peoples and the removal 01 all business distrust and suspicion are essential ,in a successful and peimanent League of Nations. The chamber also points out that the restrictions which have been im posed upon America's trade with Great Britain "have led to the belief in one country that they directly benefit the other.'' This situation, the Chamber says inevitably raises the issue with Great Britain. "Noth ing," it adds, "would suit Germany better than to breed discord out of them. INothing this chamber, be .ieves is more important to the fu ture of the world than good natuixd adjustment of these issues between the English-speaking peoples." It is none to soon, says the cham ber, for the United States and Its all'es to agree upon a .plan for the equitable disposition of all raw ma terial so las ''to reconstitute the stocks depleted by the wastage of war and by the criminal folly oil German submarines. "Another matter urgently calling for joint action is that of dual in come tax assessment," says the Am rican chamber's statement. "Not only does the present situation work unjustified hardship on individuals of both nationalities but it also practi cally prohibits the employment of capita! of one country in the enter prises of the other, and is thus a strong deterrent to all cooperation between them in the work of recon struction." One of the first purposes to be aimed at in the proposed after-war trade reconstruction should be the restoration of private initiative and business, says the American chamber. The chamber, however, realizes that government control over virtually every form of activity cannot be re laxed immediately upon the end of the war but it asserts that the re vival of private enterprises is of su preme importance to the future.

A. Carlton. . W. L. Person stressed the import ance of the colored people doing their full dri to help protect the morale of the soldiers as they may be thrown back upon society not as sold ers, but as citizens, and we must protect the soldier against himself, lest he be a menace to us rather than a hero to be lauded for his ser vices.

BUSINESS OF SURRENDER OF SHIPS WILL BE IMPRESSIVE London, Nov. 19. The Times na val correspondent writing on the sub ject of the submission the German fleet, says: i "The surrender in accordance with the armistice conditions will be made to a force in which the navies of France and America as well as our own, are represented. In its out ward signs, the business cannot fail to be impressive. "The appearance of the long lines of vessels to be surrendered, carrying reduced crews and no armament; the method of their transference t0 the (allied escorts; the exchange of flags on the German ships when that happens and the striking of the col ors which have replaced the imperial ensign, the ancient token of yielding, will be among the more interesting features of the manifestation. (""There is 'another f gnjlfliqance which attaches to this act of sub mission, for it represents the non fulfillment of one of the principal purposes for which the German na vy was created to protect Ger many's sea trade and colonies. "The war has scome to an end and Germany has lost her colonies and her trade. She now loses the best part of her effective naval force. On the other hand the British fleet is still adequate and is not on ly as strong as it was before the war, but absolutely and relatively stronger than ever."
