The canteen command-a-tsat Raleigh and Hamlet wired MrB. Monroe that the soldiers were en rmte here, and the citizens of the town learning of it sent cake, sweet i ,1k. fruits of all kinds, cigarettes ;i: 1 other things too numerous to l. -ntion to the hut at the station. The train was composed of 12 -aches, one of the coaches was giv rl entirely to "stretcher patients." t'.'jse who were unable to be up. A -my doctors accompanied the train a d the soldiers who needed medical n-tention wore blue arm bands. Te majority of the soldiers had r.-n attached to the Thirtieth Dill s' n. and were wounded during the o-ive from October 8 to 29. They l;i :ded in the States from the trans I rt, Cedric, about two weeks ago. All ol the soldiers had been wound e ! in a greater or lesser degree and !,.id a story worth listening to. One had been in an ammunition ! tup near the front lines when a i'ocho shell dropped on top of it. The : i m p caved in from the explosion avjve, burying the soldier under the iSbris. Comrades dug him out and t ,;md that only an ankle had been I ' oken. He was sent to the hospital ;i- d in a few weeks was able to re j .n his company in the trenches. Again he was wounded severely. A ; :ce of Hying steel passed through I.,-! leg near the knee. The soldier s::d that he distinctly saw it when ll s -lick on one side of bis leg and crime out on the other. Another soldier had left all but the i.el of one foot somewhere on the t. Title t . out. A falling shell struck !; ni on the foot, completely mashing i: oil. Luckily it proved to be a iuI" a shell which fails to ex t u'.o or all 1 hut. would have been !'; of the soldier and place where !: had stood would have been a hole the ground. The soldiers all seemed proud of I h part they had played In the war b Jt were anxious to be mustered out f the service In order that they might -eturn to their homes. They were !.. ing taken to the hospital at Forts WrPherson and Oglethorpe. Opmi1 unity. (The Saturday Evening Tost.) In this new year of peace the Is- : ;e is in our hands. Nothing re quires us to hurl lives and limbs and : "tgy into a bottomless inferno. We free to choose the ends to which we shall apply ourselves, and the nethods of application. It is worth wMle. maybe, to glance back. About four million young men, in 'V prime of condition, were with awn from productive labor last -ar. and we produced more than ter before. In every township farm--rs and farm lands were taken away b it the farm output was as large as ever. Many miners went Into traili ng camps, but the output of coal st a new record. In spite of the .i-aft we kent more hands busy in Manufactures then ever before, be raise there was practically no Idle labor and because labor power thai ! ad not been used before notably .''at of women was called in. The ; .antity of manufactured goods was r -eater than ever before. Wares were decidedly the highest ever known, in the I'united States or anywhere else; and profits on the -vhole also decidedly the highest. In c.ustry produces a certain gro.-"s divi uMud every year. Tart or it goes to !alior, in wages, and part to capital, in profits. So a good many unite In telligent people are caught by the specious statement that If profits are l iLher wattes must be lower. ine forget that the gross dividend, in which both share, may be Increased indefinitely, giving both larger hhares. It Is well enough known that as a pretty general rule wages are highest In those lines of industry in which profits are highest, and lowest n those In which profits are lowest as the sweatshop trades. Anybody who looks back at 1918 and still a-gues that profits can increase only al the expense of labor looks with Khuf pves. We discovered twenty million bond Investors in 1918. Well toward billion dollars of thrift stamps were bought. All over the United States the person who earned anything and saved nothing was the exception. Storks of goods of all sorts are tin usually low. There Is a tremendous work of reconstruction to be done abroad. At home there Is a great arrears of work, such as building, to he Ill ade good. There Is a market fnr nil the goods we can produce. By this time many newspapers and other publications have printed an nual reviews comparing the econo- nic performance of 1918 with that of nrevlous years. Look the tables over. Keep In mind that four mil lion hands were idle. It Indicates what we can do in this new year of Pace. Licking War-Savings Stamps 'aves a pleasant taste In the moutn Try It. Chicago Dally News.

Following the installation service. Rev. Mr. Jordan preached a strong sermon on LooKing forward, lie declared that the church should re solve to secure one hundred additions during the present year. "Some of you will say that every one in Monroe belongs to some church." he said. He then declared that this is not so, that since he arrived in Monroe he hail met a number of fine people, and upon questioning them learned that thev were not connected with any church. 'It is always good to make resolu tions at the beginning of the year." he declared. "It is better to resolve to accomplish certain things and fail than it is to make no resolutions and and not try to accomplish them. A A person often carries out his reso lutions whereas if he makes none he will cerlainiy carry none out." MASONIC TKMI'l.i: WILL riioitAiiLY in: i:i:kcti:i Committee Huh llecu Apxiintel to Seiure Options on l-ots by Monroe Masonic Lodge Local Lodge One id' MrongcM in the State. A commit lee has bee:i appointed by the Monroe Lodge of Masons to se cure options on building lots, one of which will probably be purchased by the lodge for a site on which it is planned to erect a Masonic temple costing around $75,000. The committee now has under con sideralion several lots. Among them is the one In front of the postot'tite and a lot on Jefferson street at pres ent occupied by Dr. J. It. Kwing. The advantages of the lot on Main street, opposite the postoftlce, being pointed out to the committee are that it is on the main street of the city and convenient to the depot. Mr. A. M. Crowell, owner of the lot on Jetierson street, has offered to deed this lot to the lodge for $1000 less than Its value, to be decided by a committee of disinterested parties, as a memorial to Ins father, the late Col A. H. Crowell, who was a prominent Mason. The Monroe lodge of Masons Is one of the strongest in the stale r.nd the erection of a temple will advance it to a more prominent position. The The membership of the lodge is lamer than any other In the stale, popula tion considered. There are more Slirluers (Masons of high degree) in its iueinbeislii: than in some of the bxUes of the larger cities. Only few of the lodges of the larger cities have a Masonic temple.

I will see that the package goes xll right, and, If you like, I will write her a little note too, telling her how well you are looking." "That will be nice." said the pri vate. He counted out the money, a generous amount. Still he lingered and it was evident he had something else on his mind. "Anything else I can do for you?" asked the woman. "It's like this." began the private hesitatingly. He stopped, swallow ed. and started all over again. "Please be careful what you say in that note won't yon ma'am?

Yiinent Atr Hark From D- MoiitliK Senic in France TelN In teresting Story lulies IM F.very lliing Froiu Making Ire ('renin to fining for the Wounded. Mrs. Vincent Astor has returned from IS months service in a Y. M. C. Canteen at Bordeaux, France, fche gives the following account of ber work: American women have filled such an enormous place in the war that it difficult to imagine now what otild have been done without their help," she said. "The thousands or women who got to the other side. gave themeslves up completely to working for the soldiers, both the sick and the well, and they never pared themselves in any way. They worked all the day and often danced long hours in the evening, sometimes wiih 100 partners. In the canton ment at Bordeaux, where I was sta tioned, there were eight American women, and we never asked the French maids to do anything that we would not do ourselves; and not only did we do all this manual work at first, but later, when it was neces sarv, we would take a hand at a broom or at frying eggs or washing dishes. One time Mrs. Russell and I unloaded and stored p. truckload of sugar into the basement. "The soldiers over there showed the most complete gratitude and courtesy to every American women over there and that made it intensely pleasant to be doing things for thetn Kvery few nights we gave a dance, We would send out a call for Ameri can women and all those who volun teered were brought in by army ma chines. There were usually about 20 mid they would have to divide their time between several hundred men Once we had eight women and 2000 sailors. "To even things up I borrowed a 'bosun's' uhistle and gave a signal every two minutes to change part ners. The result was that every couple would have possible 20 men following after them waiting for'the next dance. No distinction was ntade between officers and men at such dances, but at the ones given at the camps, part of the evening was de voted to the officers and part to the men. ! "In Hie cafeteria we began! by serving about 50 men a day an j .,on it was thousands. They all wanted esgs and doughnuts and ice cream. We had one person frying eggs all the time and one making ice cream. "We had a canteen, which means strictly a tobacco and candy store, where the men bought al cost and three nights a week we gave pictures and entertainments. There would often be as many us 5000 or fiOOO men trying to get into the entertain menl hall. "When the convoys of wounded first commenced arriving at Bordeaux the stretchers bearing the wounded men would be put on t he station plat form, and we would go among them distributing coffee and cigarettes. Later this work was taken over by the Red Cross. "Mrs. Henry Russell and I were ueiir St. Mihiel when the Americans made their drive last September and we appealed so hard that the sent us up to the front for emergency work. We went past the captured Gorman lines up to within two miles of the actual fighting and helped dis- tribute candy and cigars to the 5th and liih marines when thev were re lieved. They came out of the battle laughing and happy and with no more looks of wear and tear than If they had been in a football game."

"Viva Wilson" Hiings lt:ili;m to Tenns. The opinion of the Italians in re gara to Wilson is shown in this wire- less to The Observer from 1 he Lon don Times: "Warmly rreeting President Wil son on his arrival in lialj. The Cor Here savs: 'Italy is a roiintr.'. which entered the war with the same feel ing and ideals as the United States When Italy deliberately entered the war the enemy was menacing her. not with a sword at her throat but flat tering and alluring her. She was not compelled by any international pact She has only the conscience of a free people rising against the negation of every principle of freedom and lnde pendence.' " 'President Wilson, it a Ids 'must not be deceived by the liveliness of the present debates In Italy. In Italy to bring together the most disagree ing pleaders it is sufficient to cry, 'Viva Wilson.' Everybody will repeat it with equal enthusiasm'."

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt. 26ih President of the I'nited Slates, died at his home on Sagamore Hill. Oys ter Bay. X. Y., earlv Monday morn ing. The body will be laid to rest without pomp or ceremony in Young's Memorial cemetery near his home. At l lie request of Mrs. Roosevelt no liowers will be sent, there will be no music or eulogy, but only the simple service of the Kpisropal church, con ducted by Rev. George K. Taliuage. It was al 4:15 a. in.. Mondav thai the former President died in his sleep, painlessly. His death was due entirely to a blood clot lodged in one lung, the result of inflammatory rheumatism. The death of Colonel Roosevelt is believed by his physicians to have been hastened by grief over Quen tiu's death, collided with anxiety over the serious wounds suffered by Cap- tin Archie Roosevelt. He was proud of his soldier sons and their heroism, but he was a de voted lather and he grieved for the one who gave his lite lor his country. as well as for the other who was wounded. He hid his siifierine from the world, however, in t he hope that he might set an example for other fa thers and mothers who had given their sons to the nation. Apparently neither Colonel Roose velt nor his wife had any foreboding that dtaili would so soon still his ac tive mind and body. It was only yes terday that Mrs. Roosevelt sent a let ter to Charles Stewart Davidson chairman of the general citizens' com mittee appointed to welcome return ing soldiers in New York, announc ing that the colonel would accept tht honorary chairmanship of the com mittee. Cable messages and cablegrams of condolence, not only from fellow countrymen of high and low degree, but from distinguished citizens of many nations, were pouring into Ovs- ter Bay last night by the hundreds. All express heartfelt erlef at the pass ing of a great man, and deepest sv in pathy for Mrs. Roosevelt, always de voted to her distinguished husband one of his most trusted advisers. The widow is hearing up bravelv under the shock of his sudden death, coin ing so soon alter that of their young est son, Lieutenant Quentin Roose velt, who was killed in a battle with a German airman. Cable messages were sent to Maior Iheodore Roosevelt, Jr., and Captain Kerniit Roosevelt, who are in service in Fiance, and telegrams to Mrs. Lungwort h, to Captain Archie, who left yesterday with his wife for Bos ton where bis father-in-law died Sat urday. and to Mrs. Kthel Derby who was in Aiken, S. C, with her two child t en. Washington, representing the na tion at large, gave solemn and earn ist expression yesterday to the cotin trys regret at the death of Theodore Roosevelt and its admiral ion for his character and achievements. Flags on every government build ing throughout the United States and at every army post and on everv naval vessel were ordered placed at half mast. The senate and house adjourn ed alter eulogies of the former Pres ident had been delivered bv both re publicans and democrats, and the su preme court took unprecedented ac tion in adjourning wituout the trans action of business. ..leinbers of the cabinet, diplomats senators and representatives and oth ers prominent in public life issued statements reflecting the profound feeling stirred in the capital by the news ol Colonel Roosevelt's death All expressed their sorrow and paid tribute to the former President as a great figure in life. The Proper Classification. Two negro volunteers, newly in ducted into the service, met in i barracks and proceeded to get ac quainted. "Say," inquired the smaller, "whut wuz you w'en you wuz out in civil life?" "Me I wuz a lion tamer." "Yo'i w tiz n w'ich'.' ' "I wuz a lion tamer I broko l.ons fur a livin' tint's whut!" "Is dat so? Tell me, how does you tame a lion?" "It's very simple, "stated the big man. "Fust, you picks out yore lion- I 'most ginelly -ilwavs picks ui t ut a wild one.

( Springfield Republican. ) "Starvation clubs," homespun lothlng dyed wfth butternut, tum blers made from glass bottles, butter at $8 a pound are a lew of the things the Americans escaped during the great war, due to Mr. Hoover and government supervision in general. I'luse sacrifices and hundreds like them were the lot of our grandmoth ers in civil war days. Miss Bessie L. Pierce, teacher of history in the university of Iowa high school, has made a study of thrill in the South during the civil war times and notes some interesting instances of unreserved sacrifice on the part of Ihe southerner back of the '60s. The civil war "meatless day" came oftener than once a week. Kven pigeons vanished, and an ounce of meal daily was considered "an abun dant ration for each member of the family" Sail became so scarce that as a final resource the earthen floors of smoke-houses, saturated by the drippings of bacon, were dug up and boiled. "In lSfi3," writes Miss Pierce, "a member of the Georgia Legislature i p pea red in a coat made of common wire-grass rolled in cotton. Women's dresses sometimes had a skirt of one color, coat of another, and sleeves ot another. Kven some of the wealthiest were unable to purchase any new clothing lor three years, .sandals, sa bots or moccasins were used as shoes, and Ihe family purses of leather were often contributed to the shoemaker for a pair of shoes." "The Japanese effect in china" was commented upon by Miss Pierce in her article. "Old cups and saucers when broken were mended with white end in such n way as to produce this effect, and tumblers were made from clear glass bottles by cutting them with a heated wire. During the war. General Lee's table service was of tin." Other examples of southern women giving up their kitchen utensils to be made into plows and spades, their gold and silver to be made into in strumeiiis of war are numerous. Pat Scores Again. British papers are fond of print- ing Jokes in which representatives of all the divisions of the United King- dom and somethimes a man from Wales- bear a part. Needless to sav, the Irishman rarely comes off second best, whenever quickness of wit is re- quired. P;if u'ia m'vviiic in the arm v. nnrtl1"' t"1-'" his two companions happened to be an Englishman and a Scotsman. These two gave their Irish friend a lively time with their Jokes and teas ing. One day Pat was called away, and left his coat hanging on a nail. The Englishman and Ihe Scotsman, seeing some white paint near, seized the op portunity of painting a donkey s head on the bnck of Pat's coat. The Ishrmen soon returned, and looking first at his coat and then fixing his eve on his friends, said slowly. "Begorra. and which one of you two has been wiping your face on my coat?"

While in Rome President Wilson visited Pope Benedict and discussed various problems relating to tbe peace settlements with him. On Friday Mr. and Mrs. Wilson went to the American College and on Saturday President Wilson was made a member of the Reale Accadeinia de Lincel, or Royal Academy of Science. The President and Mrs. Wilson were sealed beiween the King and Queen while among others present were the American Ambassador. Thomas Nelson Page, and other niem- bers of the diplomatic corps and many distinguished Italian officials and sci entists. Senator D'Onidio, who is president of ihe Academy, hailed the President as the worthy representative of the Culture of the New World, which now revivifies the ancient culture of the old world. PRESIDENT'S REPLY'. In reply. President Wilson said: "Your Majesty, Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Academy: "I have listened with the profound est appreciation to the beautiful ad dress whicli vou have been kind enough to deliver, and I want to say bow deeply I appreciate the honor you have conferred upon me in per mitting me to become a member of this greiit Academy, because there is a sense in which the continuity of hu man thought is in the care of bodies like this. There is a serenity, a long view, on tl.e part of science, which seems to be of no a;;e. but to carry human thought along from genera tion to generation freed from the ele ments of passion. "Therefore, it is, I dare say. with all men of science a matter of oro- found regret and shame that science should in a nation which has made science its boast have been put to such dishonorable uses in the recent war. Every just mind must condemn those who so debased the studies of men of science as to use them against humanity, and. therefore, it is part of your task and of ours to reclaim sci ence from this disgrace to show that she is devoted to the advancement and interest of humanity and not to its embarrassment and destruction. NOT A SCIENTIST "I w ish very much that I could be lieve that I was in a sense a worthy repreRenraMVeor the men 'or science of the United States. I cannot claim to be in any proper sense a man of science. My studies have been In the field of politics, and while politics may by courtesy be called a science, it is a science which is often practiced without rule and is very hard to set up standards for, so that one can be sure that one is steering the right course. "At the same time, while perhaps, there is no science of government. there ought to be. I dare say. in gov ernment itself the spirit of science, that is to say, the spirit of disinter estedness, ihe spirit of seeking after ttie truth so far as the Is readv to be applied to human circumstances. PROBLEM OF POLITICS "Because, after all. the problem of politics is to satisfy men in the ar rangement of their lives, is to realize for them, so far as possible, the ob jects which they have entertained generation after generation and have seen so often postponed. "Therefore, I have often thought that the universities and academies of science have their part in simpli fying the problems of political affairs, and thus assisting to advance human life along the lines of political struct ure and political action. "It is very delightful to drawapatr for a little while into this quiet place and feel again that familiar touch of thought and of knowledge whicli It has been my privilege to know famil iarly through so great a part of m life. If I have come out on a mora adventurous and disordered stage, I hope that I have not lost the recol lection and may in some sense be as sisted by councils such as youts." Huse That Failed.
