The old controversies re garding the freedom of the seas and the removal cr economic barriers are at latently dead. It Is this fact which, added to t'.io problems of some po liticians, explains the recurrent dis plays of anger in the London and Paris newspapers. The Eclair, referring to the two French amendments calling for ef fective control of German munition farorlcB and the creation of a per manent Inter-allied military organi zation, says: These two amendments were pre-se-ned bv Leon Bourgeois, in the na;:ie of France. They were dictated bv a legitimate fear lest France soon i horoif nlone again to face a ne'-hbor who even after her demo crat ;c conversion Is still dangerous. It is painful to say that Bourgeons, whi is universally recongntzed as an av.horitv. was permitted to read the a;r.. nduients.

Washington. IK C April 8. ' Stick to your job and go up with ii." This was the slogan adopted by tne "Suicide Squadron" which planted the mines for the North Sea barrage which snared the deadly U-boats in their dens and helped win the war. The remarkable achievement or gettiiic the mines ready for hurried shipment was told in a previous Na tional Ceorgraphic Society bulletin by Captain Reginald It. Belknap. U. S. X.. who had charge of the operations, and in a second bulletin he describes the hair-raising episodes and almost unbelievable sneed with which the mines were planted. On one of the joint excursions oi British and American ships, ten Anierknn shins planted 5.520 mines. the four British ships planting 1,300. making a total of 6,:o planted in four hours. That was the record for number. The American squadron alone, a few weeks later, he states. planted a field 73 miles long, making a record for distance.

One cargo of TNT had been ennn eli to devastate Halifax, and our squadron had ten cargoes. Our course would lie through areas wnere it was necessary to search for mines con stantly, and we would come frequent ly in the regular thoroughfare for enemy submarines. By June 6 all was ready for the first excursion. The even of depar ture brines drizzling, misty weather.

His trials and the tribulations of his early life are as well known as the facts that he Is the world s ncnesi man.

He Fooled His Friends ( Youth's Companion ) When the Americans drove the Germans out of St. Mihlel the job was done so quickly and cleverly that a lot of hnotv fell into their hands. There was one private at Thaueourt who took a chance, says hiars aim Stripes, the soldiers newspaper, hut he could not resist the temptation. When his mates first saw him they were uncertain whether he was the Kaiser or the Crown Prince as they rushed forward to make the capture.

Union county has not yet contribut ed her quota of $3,600 towards the relief of the siarving people of the Near East. As noted in a previous issue of The Journal the drive has been extended to April fifteenth. Sev eral of the county school have set a ood example in their box suppers. the proceeds of which they have in most cases donated to this fund, and the committee appreciates this. The Victory Loan campaign will begin April 21st and it would be well for us to go "over the top'' with the re lief drive before the final campaign of the war is launched. Leave the con tributions with Mr. S. O. Blair at the English Drug Co., or your district chairman. With the campaign for Armenian and Syrian relief coming to a close in North Carolina, State Chairman J. Joyner, says that he is gratified at the results achieved by the various county chairmen who have so far made their reports to headquarters In ialeigh. He announces that up to Match 26 the sum of $127,005.67 as been subscribed, and besides this at least $16,500 has been sent to New York direct, which will be credited to the State's quota of $300,- 000. This makes a total ot $143.- 05.67. There are seventeen counties that have not yet made any report, and no county in the stale, even those ov- r the top, have sent in final reports. Eleven counties have secured more than their quotas, but the chairmen in each of these counties say they are still at work, and that more money w ill be forthcoming. Each day brings forth new appeals from the Near East, and the stories I hat come in from the workers over there indicate that the situation is steadily growing worse. Women and children are dying every hour. One story that comes from a worker says that he himself saw women and chil dren tearing the flesh from the car cass of a horse that had died; they were eating the flesh raw. This is hut one of the many things we hear direct from the people on the ground. North Carolina has raised more than sixty percent of her quota, but the people will not be satisfied until they hav given the last penny asked ot them by the American committee No tnaa or woman in this country would permit a child to starve right in their own neighborhood. There are five millions starving not far from us, and we must save them by giving out money. A(iKI ( ITI.F.X PASSES. Mr. Franklin Crowell, A mil l.iglit.v Six Years, and a Confederate Vet ei-iiii.

The deceased was born July tith is:!:!, on a farm about six miles north west ot Monroe. Had he lived until July bib of this year he would have been SO years old. He was the youngest member of a family of six teen. When the War Between the Slates broke out Mr. Crowell enlisted in a North Carolina regiment and for lour ears made a faithful soldier un der General Johnston. He look part in 13 battles and was wounded once. He was twice married. His first wife, whose maiden name was Miss Kebecca Parker, died more than -0 vears ai:o and he was married to Miss Lizzie Ford.

This is distilled from a lite."' said a wise observer of his kind. Often one meets the man who has become sour by his own life through his own fault though he blames it all on the chances and cir cumstances ef destiny. He will not admit that the hand of bad habit dragged him down and kept him from rising; that he made a missiep or took the wrong turn of the road. He prefers to charge impersonal Fate with his personal failure. But he had the same right to strug gle and win that we have. The man whom one regards with envy had to prove that the stuff was in him, against all odds. The old prove! b say that Fortune favors the brave but that saying really means that Fortune plays no favorites and confers her gift only up on those who flight and fight hard. Success is not hereditary. We must qualify on our own merit. Any fool can inherit money, and be parted from it quickly. The respect of Ihe community, which is life s greatest reward, goes to him who earns it on his own account. In that continuing effort the fragrant memory of a noble family truditiuu and a pious and hon est parentage is a valuable asset and a great inspiration. But some of us choose to go lick on our antecedents and lo blot the But some of us choose lo go back escutcheon by our own misdeeds. Broken rankers and black sheep. we lake it out in railing against those who were frugal and clean-living and punctual and trust worthy. We envy the faithful man his place we pay no heed to the unceasing toil he paid to win it. No ruin is so pathetic as the ruin of man. We may spare our solemn meditations on ihe moss-bound, ivy crowned castle and spend them on this man before us. who started well and is making a poor finish. He has "lost his self-respect. The first sign of it is in the outward sein blance. He does not care what he throws from the back of the chair in in the morning. He does not care how he shuffles and shambles down the street, dodging his creditors.? The light of other days has died out of the east for him. The ghost of Might-have-been has ceased to pursue him. He slides along In a grove, like a car upon Its rails. He has lost am bition beyond the primal urge to ward the satisfaction of the elemental physical wants. He lives from hand to mouth, and a meal is only a meal to him. Ideals? He curls Ihe lip at them. He cannot sell them for anything. He merely goes through the mo tions. His funi re is behind him. Per haps it would be right to sny that his future and past have changed places, for his past living lives with him still. From the time that lie let himself crow bitter he began to lose. Untliei ing Kgu En Koule I Statesville Landmark I The Hickory correspondent of the Greensboro News says that an Indus try in Hickory tlnr is aiuncliiig more attention than any of the great manufacturing plants has developed within the last lew mouths and it is a hiouopolv, too. Thousands of hens pass through Hickory every week en route lo northern markets where they bring 45 cents or more a pound, and thev stop here between trains. Negro employees of the local express com pany with a wire arranged something like a fishhook, go around the stack of coops every day. inserting the wire and drawing out eggs. One afternoon a porter drew out 22 eggs, and Ihe n in 'n.-. vvies from 10 to 24, depending on i!i pin iber of hens stopping here for the afternoon express. It must be exciting business too, for town folks and passengers gather about the coops, peering In among the birds and pointing out an egg here and ano;her there. For the porters it is a profitable business; tne hens have the fruit in their systems and the darkeys cash in on them. Doughboys Sell Ancient C.tstle mid Uhine Bridge. (Con. of News and Oberverl Washington. X. C. April 12. If the American army of occupation re mains overseas for any considerable lenght of time the chances are that the doughboys will have all the extra change that their French conrades have. Sent. J. T. Xicholson of Bath writes an Interesting letter home in which he tells of a great sale made by a couple of privates in his company to three of their French friends. The two doughboys took the French sold iers td the shores of the Rhine river and offered to sell them the bridge across the stream, an old castle and two other buildings for the sum of 200 francs. The Frenchmen hasti.v drew out the money before the Tool American" could back out of the deal. The doughboys had a big time on the 200 francs but are now serving a sentence of several days In the mill tary Jail.

Doctors state that some time following the in fluenza pleurisy developed and pus collected around his lungs and heart.

Surgeons perform ed a minor operation and for a time he seemed better. A second opera tion was found necessary yesterday and he never rallied from it.

Misses Caroline, Chatty Xeal. and Helen Cason.. At school he was a favorite among his fellow students. He played an important part in the athletic and so cial life of the town. His cheery, big-hearted dp-positiou won for him a friend in all whom he met. There was always sunshine when Austin was around. N'ews of h!s death came as a distinct yhock; friends found ' hard to realize that the big-souled, iitiinlv boy was dead. The grief-stricken mother, father, brother and sisters have the sincere sympathy of all in their deep sorrow.
