BIG BULL'S LOYALTY Walter Perry of Chicago, negro porter on a troop train that carried 16n wounded soldiers from France through Hickory to the mountains, was arrested in Hickory this morning by Chief of Police Lentz on complaint of the captain of the soldiers that the porter, in connivance with a Rich mond negro had made away with a grip containing $500 of money be longing to the soldiers. The alleg ed theft occurred in Richmond and the men were broke when they pass ed through here about 7 o"clock and were overjoyed at having a good breakfast ready for them, prepared by the canteen during the early hours of the morning. Perry says he had nothing to do with the theft of the grip and money. He said while the train was in Richmond, a soldier came to him and informed him that another negro was in his locker. Later the other negro, a porter likewise, was seen to run from the train by three other soldiers, according to Perry. !No action was taken by the cap tain of the train until it reached Hickory, according to Perry. Fortunately for the soldiers, the Hickory canteen had prepared them a good breakfast and they were de lighted with the service here.

MILLION DOLLA RCAMPAIGN riUND IGROWS RAPIDLY j Raleigh, Dec. 14. Yesterday was a rea letter aay tor tne endow ment of the alumnae chair in Mere dith college of this city $1,225 in cash, notes and War Savings securities having come into the hands of the treasurer, Miss Marshibanks, from two classes, 1909 and 1916 of which Miss Margaret Bright of New Hill and Miss Irene Johnson of Mt. Airy are campaign managers. The Meredith alumnae are attempt ing to raise $25,000 during the gen eral campaign to raise a million dollars for the Baptist schools of the state, with which to endow an alumnae chair in that institution. In the 16 years of its history this is the first time the alumnae association of Meredith college has ever attempted to do anything as a complete organ ization. Each class has been organ ized as a unit and is at work in earnest to raise its full quota. To the present graduating class of 1919 goes the honor of having reach ed the goal firs registering itself 100 per cent efficient. Every mem ber of the class made a contribution the endowment and gave all that was asked of her. At the beginning of the Mi, lion Dollar Campaign the present student body at Meredith and the faculty subscribed over $6,000. Many heroic, and even pathetic sac rifices have been made by the loyal daughters of Meredith that the full amoun1: of their quota may be reach ed. There is no doubt about their ultimate success.

Lovers of loyalty cannot fail to admire the efforts of Chairman Hays iU DonnWiran national commit- tee to oust Mayor "Big Bill'" Thomp- son Oi unicago as a mcmi committee for having failed to sup port Medill McCormick for senator "n the late election. It was all right for "Big Bill" to oppose the war, to oppose sending troops to France and for his newspaper ,l president until his attitude became a national scandal; that is it must have been all right for the Republican na tional committee took no action. But when "Big Bill" is accused of disloy a'ty to the Republican party, then he 'must pay the extreme penalty, for that is the unpardonable party crime.

Jack, Pauline, Mildred, and Gladys, Hickory, North Carolina. Dear Youngsters: I am mighty glad that you thought enough of me to write those letters. The paper you used was great, with pictures of a little girl and boy play ing in the yard among the flowers. You know that I have been so busy making things, toys, candies .dolls I and other things for the little boys and girls in France and Belgium ! whose fathers were killed by the mean old Germans that I have not decided what to give you Christmas. Your letters came just in time. However, I felt mighty bad when you did not ask me to bring you a certificate of membership in the Red Cross. You see the Red Cross helps me a lots in making things for the poor little girls and boys whose daddies have been killed and I thought you would want to be a member of the Red Cross so you can help those poor kids. I expect you just forgot to say anything about that. Say, youngsters put stamps on your next letters. You know that I have the flu and that mean old postmaster down there will not let me have your letters until I go down there and pay him three cents for each letter. This weather is so bad and my doctor is so cross, that I am afraid if I have to make another trip before Christmas I will have a "set-back" and might get so sick I could not come to see you Christmas. Put your name and street address on the back ef your envelope, that will help me a lots in my work on Christmas eve. There is one other thing I want you to do. The people of Hickory have been birrniing sp much wood this year that the chimneys have gotten mighty black on the inside. Won't you leave some warm water in a bowl, a towel and some soap near the fireplace so I can wash my hands and face? If you will, I won't get any 'black soot and dirt on your Christmas things. SAINTA CLAUS. ) Lieut. Claud Abernethv of the av- J iation has arrived home, having been , honorably discharged from tne ser vice. By the Associated Press. Paris, Dec. 14. President Wilson made his entrance into Paris at 10:15 this morning. The president's arrival at the cap ital was greeted by a salvo of artil lery salutes. The dense throngs gathered to meet the American representative hailed his coming with volleys of cheering. President Wilson was greeted by President and Madame oincare, Pre mier Clemenceau and Andre Tardieu, French commissioner to the United States and other notable dignitaries. The route to the presidential res idence was lined with French troops in solid array along its entire length. The welcome given by the crowds as the president drove by was voci ferous and hearty. The formalities the greeting over, the president entered a carri age with President Poincare. Mrs. Wilson Wilson and Miss Margaret Wilson, a daughter of the presi dent, followed in another carriage with Madame Poincare. The party drove immediately to the residence of Prince Murat in the Rue de Mon ceau, where the president will reside at the French capital. President and Madame Poincare gave a dinner at the Palais de L'Elysee in honor of President and Mrs. Wilson. President Wilson on this occasion spoke in part as fol lows in replying to an address by President Poincare: "Mr. President: I am deeply in debted to you for your gracious greet ings. It is very delightful to find myself in France and to feel the quick contact of sympathy and un afected friendship between the rep resentatives of the United States and the representatives of France. J"YoU have been very generous in wihat ydfu were pleased to say about myself, and I feel that what I have said and what I may strive to do has been said and done only in an attempt to speak the thoughts of the people of the United States truly and to carry that thrught out in action. "From the first the thought of the people of the United States turned toward something more than the mere winning of this war It turned to the establishment of eternal prin ciples of right and justice. It re alized that merely to win the war was not enoujgh; that it must be won in such a way and the question raised by it settled in such a way as to insure the future peace of the world and lay the foundations for the freedom and happiness of its many peoples and nations. "Never before has war worn so ter rible a visage or exhibited more grossly the debasing influence of il licit ambition. I am sure that I shall look upon the ruin wrought by the armies by the central empires with the same repulsion and deep in dignation that they stir in the hearts of the men of France and Belgium, and I appreciate as you do, sir, the necessity of such action in the final settlement of the issues of the war as will not only rebuke such acts of terror and spoilation, but make men everywhere aware that they cannot be ventured upon without the certain ty of just punishment." JOHN F. MILLER, JR. IS HEARD FROM Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Miller re ceived several letters and cards from their son John F. Miller, Jr. this week, the latest one was dated No vember 23 He said that he was well and all right and was expecting to come home in a short time.
