\)t iBoUht VOL. XL MOUJfl AIRY, JfORTR CA ?nr TYA, THURSDAY. OCTOBER 4, 1917. MO. It Wt Must RmIm that m Gar man Victory Would Man tha Down fail mi Democracy Thruvhout tha World. (A four minuta apeach by lav. Qaa. D. Herman at Broadway Theatre. Saturday night, September 22, I ft 11.) Ladle* and Gentleaaan: Thia la a world at at rang* condi tion* and contradiction*. In Anaon county there ia a paraon namad Rainy Dry. ()na of the largeat man I know ia namad Little. One of tha awaataat girie I avar kaaw waa named Pepper. Tha whitest man I avar aaw waa named Black, and tha hlackaat man I ever aaw waa namad White; the longeat man I ever aaw waa named Short and tha ahortaat man I ever aaw waa named Long. And now it haa come to paaa that aoma a ftha moat dangeroua men in our country are taUrinc paaca—a peace in favor of Oerman autocracy. While Germany waa talking peace aha waa whetting her aworrf to butch ar halpleaa and dafenaeleaa women and chiMran. U. while we were at paaca with Germany, ahe dj<l nqt heaitate to aink our ahipa and sand women and children to the bottom of thV ocean, inault our oJRriala, and All our land with murderous apiea—-what would happen to oa and to other nation a. If by any chance Germany ahouM win thia war? L A German victory would mean the downfall of freedom and liberty in the United .Stated and ia Europe. Germany would treat our Constitu tion aa "a scrap of paper." II. A German victory would sad dle upon our Nation the greateat war ind«»»~-;ty !n a!! history. Some of bar bitter and blind leader* have actually boated, that after they had conquered England, they would whip ua ami im poae on our nation an indemnity large enough to meet the billion* which the war rout them. III. A German victory would mean the end of religious freedom. The German State controlled universities have become the helpless tools of a of genuine religious liberty. The Ger man government U making tile su preme effort to hav* itself enl.hron««J as the dictator in politics, morals, ami religion. IV. A German dictated peace would mean the loss of our high moral ideals; and the loss of moral ideas al ways mean* Bora! degradation. 'Ger many lost her own high ideals of the past, through her atheistic philosophy, higher criticism, and lust of domin ion; and a German victory in this war would rob us of our best in politics and religion, enthrall us with the gal ling chains of autocracy, and send a poison stream of infldelty and atheism throughout Europe and America and blast with the mildew of death the best our race has attained. And every true American will gladly spend the last drop of blood and the last dol lar to defeat the monster which de voured helpless Belgium and is now seeking to destroy us. LAW AS TO DESERTERS The following law is published for the benefit o ft hose persons who for any reason should know what it means to not obey the orders of officials in these war times. "Number 8215. A reward of fifty dollars ii payable for the delivery at the nearest army camp or pout of a deserter. This reward is in full sat isfaction of all expenses incurred in said delivery. A person who fails to report to his Board for military ser vice, at the time specified in his order to report, is a deserter. A person who fails to report for military service to the Adjutant General of the State, by the date specified in the order of the Adjutant General to Said person, is a deserter. It is highly desirable from every standpoint that an effort now he made to round up all persons who are delinquent in reporting for siUitory service. It i> thought that if the fact of reward is riven the widest publicity we shall have a great force of police officers and even of individuals inter ested in bringing such delinquents un der military anthority, If appears to the military authority that their de linquency is not wilful, they will be forwarded to a mobilisation camp, and their Local Board will be given credit. If it appear* that the delinquency was wilful, they will be prosecuted before court martial as deserter*. In either case the reward is payable. CROWDER. The Atchison.

Encouraging results havi been obtained through conveying: of tieets of merchant craft, the lo- s hav inir bean rednrvri to le«s than one hal' of on* per cant. The employment o smuka »Te«n», Vite balloons ar.d oth' detection devices also has shown «nw results and progress is being made with the reduction of smoke from mer chantmen and by painting ships to make them almost invisible at a dis tance through a periscope. In discussing submarine conditions tonight. Admiral Benson, chief of na val ofx?rations, and acting secretary ir the absence of Secretary Daniels, in dlcated the department's purpose to make known more of its accomplish ments hereafter than in the past. No formal announcement was made, how ever. Admiral Benson said the depart ment had been unable to find any sup port for reports that German subma rines either had begun operations off the American coast or were preparing to do so. The department is ready for any emergency. Amusing results have sometimes followed investigation of these reports, most of which ap parently have been foundered on (run Are from merchantmen and warship* at target practice off the coast. The "smoke box," device to be thrown overboard from a vessel when a submarine appears, has proven high ly successful in some cases. A great *moke rises instantly when the chemi cals in the box come in contact with the wat«r and under the screen created the vessel has opportunity to chan;*e her course and elude the U-boat. Experimenting continues with many other devices. Thomas A. Edison U ■till at work on investigatiens to which he devoted himself at the out break of the war. Even without the discovery of any new improvement for use against the U-boats, the diminish ing rate of destruction of merchant c.afts impresses many officials at showing that the submarine menace can be held in check sufficiently to make certain the ultimate defeat of Germany.

Lend' ii, July 21^—Daaira to aaaiat In forraatsttng "a pratieabta plan, in aarordaaaa with tha priaripte af tha leafoe of nationa, to maintain iaterna tional peace aad justice after tha war," was axpraaaad In a laaulation adopted by a conference of lawyars recently held bare. Lard Parmoor in kia opening ad draaa aald ha would like to see the question directly conaldared aa to wtnrn of ute MtimM tt war are pre pared to aitspt Nmc common interna tional arrangement in order to pre vent, ae far aa possible. any recur rence of each a war aa the present one. This, be Mid, would be a fairly ef fective teat of the real position. Baron Buclunaster, of Cheddington, formerly Lord High Chancellor, said it wax evartly three years ago since Aus tria delivered the ultimatum to Serbia which had led to the conflagration in which the world was being fant con Mimed. U arose out of a, murder which was easily susceptible of adjust ment by a body of fair-minded men. Yet that one murder had cost th« mur der of millions, and miTttons more* would yet be led to the sacrifice. Out of this weller of strife, in which no single point of agreement xeemed (•apKWW n nmtiitnwUm. fherfe ww* ore point, he said, on which «fl were agreed, and that was when this war ended we must make conditions which would prevent it ever recurring. If any power imagined this security could be gained by crushing its adver saries, it was doomed to pitiable fail ure. The peoples he said, woukl uni versally accept the idea of a league of nations. Other speakers discussed the ma chinery of an international tribunal which should have authority to de ride international questions, and to en force its decisions. Sir Walter Phillimore hoped there would be a Geneva convention or a Hague conference on a much larger and better scale and that a league would be formed in which every nation that was a party to the treaty would at least have the opportunity of join ing, and to which those few nations not necessarily parties to the treaty might accede. Although Exempted He Goes to Camp Jackson. Spencer, Sept. 22.—Secretary B. F. Stevenson, of the local V. M. C. A., has returned from Camp Jackson at Columbia, to which place he accom panied the Rowan soldiers this week and saw that sll were comfortably do miciled in the camp quarters. He brought the information that the Spencer men were given desirable as ■ifnmenis, > asmer v. l. w»m, 01 me Rank of Spencer; Mr. Rogers and oth ers being given appointments in the commissary department. The rail road boys, machinists and electricians, were in demand and secured good po sitions, which pay well for the work to be done. An interesting feature In connection with landing the boys at Camp Jackson was that too many men were found aboard the special train. It required careful checking for two hours to And out what was wrong with the list, and it was discovered that Martin I.uther Early, who had been drawn, examined and accepted had subsequently been exempted and did not know it, and hoarded the train with all the other* for camp. He re joiced when advised of his discharge. New York, Sept. 2H.—Liberty bonds made another new high record at the outset of today's trading, selling at 100.1*1 two points above high mark reached yesterday. TRENCH DIGGING IN REAL EARNEST.

If it were not for tte imaginary line of defense protecting the camp it would he ne-»'- ary to work at r.ighi, tien actually most of the trench digging is done at the front. But trie atndenta here are not yet ready for pirk-and ihovel work in the dark. On Monday uiurmng. therefore, the study schedule was cancelled and the students took up their entrenching tools. All over the terrain the line* were laid out and on a long front real deep trenches were Hug anrl oc'-"riled, extensive enough to (five all the in fantrymen a chance to learn what real trench work is. At other points the lines are to he marked with troch es of lass depth and lens extent, so that by the time the week's work is over the men will realize what it in for a division to dig itself in. The real trenches will be supplied with dug-outs, and other conveniences, machine-gun emplacement-* and moat a# nmtil»aine« uwff m rrtfT' fare. Moreover, it not this week, then later, the student* are to live in them over night, have "supprise parties," attack and defeni/ their positions and so on. After as much as possible is accomplished this iwxk, then next week, range work will follow and after practice the candidate* will be graded according to their skill with the rifle From an educational point of view it is interesting to note that all the infantry work this week is devoted to treuchmakiJitf and occupation, includ ing lessons in all the branches relat ing thereto. Even the evening study periods are given over to the explana tion of what is going on in the open. All this work is object teaching and this week's program is probably the most striking application of this meth od to adults ever attempted. The early stages of its progress and tha plan outlined in advance indicate ita complete success. The only schedule of study left in canip this week is that of the artillery and part of their work consists of supporting tha infantry in trench operations. WORDS FROM HOME. Statements That May Be Inves tigated. Testimony of Mt. Airy Citizens. , When s Mount Airy citizcn come* to the front, telling of his experience, you can rely on his sincerity. The statements of people residing in far away places do not command your con fidence. Home endorsement is the kind that backs Doan's Kidney Pills. Such testimony is convincing. Inves tigation proves it true. Below is •( statement of a Mount Airy resident. No stronger proof of merit can ba had. R. H. Newton, 154 Lebanon St., Mt. Airy, says: "I have always found Doan's Kidney Pills all that is claimed for them. I recommend them to any one who is in need of a good reliable kidney medicine. Whenever my kid neys have been out of order, 1 have taken Doan't Kidney Pills and it haa required only a few doses to make them act right." Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't sim ply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Newton uses. Foster-Milburn Co, Props., Buffalo, N. Y. Chicago, IU.. Sept 20.— Standard family flour dropped 40 cents to (11.40 a harel today, the fl.rst change, it was said since the fixing of wheat prices by the government. It waa said to be due to a freer moi ssiisat of wheat to market.
