their objectives, consisting of many
strong positions.
The offensive was launched south
east of Poelcapelle and northward

covered a distance of about a mil?

only slight resistance. The gains of
ground were quickly made and after

DISCI SSION OF VICK i:il
Ax-aU to Clinical Congress of Sur
geons to "F.nd False Iknitilf Stan
dard Tiint Decrease .Military F.f
Uh tiveness."
Chicago, Oct. 22. Dealing frankly
and boldly with the social evil as a
menace to the nation's military effi
ciency, Secretary Daniels, of the navy,
in an address here tonight before the
Clinical Congress of Surgeons of
North America, appealed to the medi
cal profession "to end the false dou
ble standard that decreases military
effectiveness." The profession, he de
clared, must share its part of the
blame for the "unpardonable prudery
that endured a festering evil rather
than have it exposed and eradicated."
"There is not an army in the field
whose effectiveness Is not reduced by
reason of Immoral disease," said Sec
retary Daniels. "The army suffers
likewise, and business halts because
venereal diseases destroy the man
hood of workmen and fighters. Dur
ing the lust statistical year, men of
the American navy lost 141,37 days'
sickness from a small group of abso
lutely preventable diseases, or rather
diseases contracted by sin. This
means that every day throughout the
year there were 456 men disabled by
this disgraceful malady. Add to that
number those required to care for
the disabled and we have enough men
on the non-effective list each day to
man a modern battleship. And this
does not count those who though dis
eased were not disabled, or the evil
of the loathing danger of contagion
to the clean members of the crew.
"In the navy In 1915 there were
admitted for treatment for venereal
diseases 112 persons In every 1,000,
and in the army 84 for every 1,000,
the number in the army having de
creased from 145 to the 1,000 after
the passage of an act stopping the
pay of all soldiers admitted for treat
ment for venereal disease. The new
navy law stops the pay of men so
afflicted, and will probably reduce the
number to the army ratio. But these
figures show a condition of immoral
ity upon the part of the minority In
both arms of the service that chal
lenges the thought of the authori
ties. "In civil life the number afflicted
is quite as large proportionately as
in the military service.
"The remedy? There Is but one
continence. It must be preached In
the home, In the school. In the marts
of trade, n the pulpit and in military
camps and among shipmates afloat.
The teacher who will be heard and
heeded when the teachings of all oth
ers will fall on deaf ears is the word
of authority from the medical profes
sion. Young men expect ministers of
the gospel to call them to clean liv
ing. But the doctor Is the man to
whom they trust the treatment of
their bodies. His words have a weight
no other admonition possesses.
"You, gentlemen of the medical
profession, deal with life and death.
You bring the bodies Into the world
and you close the eyes of the dead.
Yours Is the ministering function, the
intimate touch, and out of such rela
tion you can enjoy an amazing power
of suggestion. Tell your youths the
truth. It Is a duty laid upon you."

When Antilles Sank 4 or SO Men
J limited ." Feet Into the Sen-

Hotel.
A French Port. Oct. 21. Survivors
of the United States transport Antil
les, which was sunk by a German
submarine last week while being con
voyed on her homeward trip by Am
erican warships, were landed here to
day by auxiliary vessels and are be
ing cared for by the American con
sulate. Some of the men have been
lodged in local hotels and a few have
left for Paris.
The torpedo struck the ship at a
quarter to seven o'clock Wednesday
morning. Many of those on board
were killed in their berths and oth
ers while dressing. The explosion
killed the engineers, oilers and me
chanics and those of the crew who
were in the bunks below.
All the survivois praise the cap
tain of the Antilles and the mem
bers of the gun crew, who stuck to
their posts while the officers search
ed with field glasses for the subma
rine until the waves closed over the
ship.
When the Antilles sank. 40 or 50
men were at the stern. Most of them
leaped 50 feet or more into the sea
as the stern rose to a perpendicular
position and some were drawn by the
suction of the Binkiug vessel.
The submarine was not sighted
either before or after the explosion.
The sea was running high at the
time, making it difficult to save the
crew and passengers. Some survi
vors, clinging to debris, were In the
water an hour before they were sight
ed by the life boats.
Canteens on French Front Are Wei
corned.
Paris, Oct. 15. To the stout heart-!
ed "poilu" who Is going up for his
turn in the trenches, or to his weary
brother-in-arms, coming down is no
more welcome greeting than that of
the sign "Cantine Franco-Amerl-caine,"
above the Joined flags of the
two republics on some wayside build
ing or courtyard close to the lines.
There he knows he will find hot
things to drink bouillion, coffee,
tea, chocolate, even his "menthe"
drink hot food, perhaps, and a
sandwich, a word to cheer him, a
moment's relaxation from the tense
ness In which he is living.
A number of these canteens, con
ducted Jointly by the American Red
Cross and the Soctete de Secours aux
Blesses Militaries, already are In
operation. It Is Intended that at
least 36 of them shall be stationed
within a short time along the entire
French front from Belfort north to
the region about Solssons.
The American Red Cross pays the
French society for whatever is need
ed in the w'ay of supplies and Joins in
the work of dispensing the refresh
ment to the soldiers. A French of
ficer and an American representative
of the Red Cross are on duty at each
of the canteens.
If any service with the army de
mands all that man possesses of for
titude and unremitting energy, it Is
this service. The proximity of the
stations to the lines subjects the con
voyers to the constant peril of gun
fire and gas attack and many a bad
quarter-hour has already been spent
by those who have undertaken this
humane task.
Nick Romanoff's Trip Is Effected
Secretly.
Harbin, Manchuria, Oct. 10. The
journey of Nicholas Romanoff form
erly emporor of Russia, from Tsar
koe Selo to Tobolsk, which was ac
complished without the knowledge of
the soldiers and civilians along the
railway zone which he passed, is des
cribed in detail by a prominent Rus
sian now In Harbin, who has per
sonal knowledge of the secret trip.
Because of the feeling against the
Romanoff family it was not advis
able to use the former emperor's own
train. Instead three ordinary first
class sleeping cars were provided for
M. Romanoff, his family and their at
tendants. Three hundred soldiers al
so accompanied the party.
The train started from Tsarkoe
Selo very early In the morning of Au
gust 15. M. Kerensky, the Russian
premier, personally bade the former
Imperial family goodbye.
The journey required five days,
stops at stations were as short as
possible and the members of the par
ty kept concealed while at large sta
tions. Every evening after dinner
the train stopped for an hour at some
wayside station or remote switch
that Nicholas and his family might
have an opportunity to exercise,
throughout the trip he seemed to be
in the best of health, and took an In
terest In his surroundings. He was
extremely agreeable to all the mem
bers of the party.

roads For Disregard of Public's
Comfort, nml Mr. Mc Allister Want
to Know Why.
Fuel Administrator A. W. McAllis
ter, Mij 3 Tom Boat in the Greens
boro Nes, has tailed upon the Sea
board Air Linu for some sort of an
explanation of what appearj to be a
wanton waste of good fu.d in the
continued burning of crossties which
the railroad company Is firing along
its line between Rsleign and Hamlet
especially.
Henry A. Page nd Clarence Poe,
who happened to be connected with
the administration tf food and fuel,
have observed recently the bonfires
that the Seaboard is making of its
crosjiies which have been taken
from the roadbed and piled on the
roadside. Mr. Paj:e drives his auto
mobile from Aberdeen tj Raleigh
every week and has unusual oppor
tunity to observe this apparently use
less desttuction of good fuel. Dr.
Poe, who is a member of both food
and fuel administrative boards, trav
eling the tame direction a few days
ago saw an immense amount of per
fect fuel destroyed by fire and re
ported the occurrence to. Mr. Mc
Alister. The ties were not quite good
enough tor the big engines that the
Seaboard runs but as firewood were
Ideal. One letter says that 50 car
loads of these ties were destroyed
by the railway just to get them out
of the way. If the road has any oth
er reason for burning this perfectly
good wood, it has not given any and
perhaps does not feel called upon to
do so, the wood being Its property.
WHY STATIONS ARE NOT HEAT
ED Nevertheless, those who are now
shivering for coal which the carriers
have confiscated under the assump
tion that the roads must be held in
readiness for governmental service,
do not find patience quite so easy
now since these reports of destruction
have come here. Others who go to
the passenger stations and wait up
on the loafing trains, find it hard to
understand why so often these sta
tions are not heated in early morn
ings when travelers must hang about
the stations or take a chance on get
ting left by trains, whose movements
cannot be followed.
The observers of this loss do not
know whether the railroad could run
Its box cars down the track and load
them between trains or not, but the
old-fashioned two-horse wagon has
gone nowhere and the stations where
these ties might be loaded and ship
ped are accessible to wagons. The
burning appears all the more excuse
less in the light of the coal famine
everywhere.
In that connection a great deal 13
being said about the Inexcusable
waste around sawmills. Reports of
this kind are being sent to Mr. Mc
Allister to bring from him protest
against the destruction of wood that
could be so easily turned into fuel.
All such waste inevitably drives up
the cost of fuel. So far as the coal
situation goes, very little relief is
promised and the loss of good wood
makes the problem worse.

Notes About the Fair.
(By Zeb Green.)
The best arrangements ever made
for the care and comfort of live
stock on exhibit at any previous fair
in Union county have been made for
the County Fair at Marshville next
Friday and Saturday. Mr. J. C. Aus
tin, chairman of committee on ar
rangements for the live stock show,
announces that Mr. E. C. Griffin's
large stable building, containing run
ning water and well-lighted, will be
used for the stock and in addition
an inclosure will be made on the
south and west sides of the building
to give further room for live stock
exhibits. Mr. Austin will carry his
famous herd of registered Guernseys
bark and forth from his farm night
and morning, but there will be ample
room to take care of all live stock
which the owners want to leave over
Friday night, and they will not only
be under comfortable shelter but a
night watchman will be on duty at
the building Friday night.
The Poultry Show, which will be
one of the most notable feature of
the fair, will be in the large buggy
and wagon shed adjoining the sta
bles. Premiums have already been
listed for fifteen different breeds of
poultry and the managers will give
additional premiums for every breed
of chickens, ducks, geese and tur
keys that may be plated on exhibit.
"Untie Joe," of Mecklenburg will
attend the fair both days and judge
the poultry.
The hall containing the woman's
exhibits wfll be entirely under con
trol and management of the women
and the varities of exhibits that will
be seen in that department will be
one of the most interesting features
of the fair. It will be headquarters
for the clubs of the county and will
include a great collection of domestic
exhibits, pantry products, school ex
hibits, old relics with a history, etc.
Mrs. B. H. Griffin, home demonstra
tion agent for Union county, will
have general supervision of this
buliding.
The community spirit will be re
flected as never before in this section
of the State, through notable com
munity group exhibits that will make
a lasting impression upon every visi
tor who attends the fair. People liv
ing in the communities from which
the exhibits will come will be aston
ished themselves at the wonderful
variety of farm and garden products
that will be Shown. This will be
done by several communities that
are in rival competition with each
other. In addition to the group ex
hibits there will be hundreds of in
dividual exhibits.
The list of premiums published
last week does not contain all that
will be given. It ha3 been decided
by the managers to give premiums
for all kinds ol live stock and pro
ducts of more than ordinary merit
that are brought in, whether on the
premium list or not. All the build
ings will be open to receive exhibits
Thursday. Mr. T. J. W. Broom will
be present to assist exhibitors in se
lecting the best of their corn and
other products for exhibit, and also
experts from the Department of Agri
culture will attend and judge the pro
ducts. The amusement feature at the
fair this week will be horse races
and foot races in the afternoons be
tween two and four o'clock. Premi
ums will be awarded In the foot races
to successful contestants among boys
under twenty-one years of age and
for rather novel contests by stout
colored women weighing not less
than 200 pounds each.
Loyalty to America Pledged By Ger
man Born.
New York, Oct. 21. Two thousand
men, women and children of German
birth or descent grouped around the
Carl Sfhurz monument in Central
Park today reaffirmed their alle
giance to the United States and
pledged themselves to aid in waging
war against "the enemies of liberty
and freedom."
The event which began as a Liber
ty loan rally, ended as an impressive
patriotic ceremonial when the throni
joined In singing "The Star Spangled
Banner."
The singing of the national an
them, a number not on the program,
was begun without prompting from
their elders by children assembled at
the base of the statue of the Ameii
can patriot of German birth. Tlio
children treble rose to a trlumnhpnt
chant as men and women took up the
strain.
"Give and give to the limit oi your
means," and "Let us carry on the
war to victory" were some of the
pleas of the German -America,! speak
ers which moved their auditors to
cheers.
