Now that the campaign for the Fourth Liberty Loan is successfully ended, Surry's quota having been over subscribed by more than $11,000. I wish to publicly acknovledge my appreciation of the splendid efforts of the various Township Committees, ami to thank our citizens for their subscriptions through the Woman* I.iberty Loan Committees. Despite the epidemic of Influenza, which so greatly hindered our work, the homej of many of our workers having been invaded by the disease during the days allotted, our sales amounted to (114,860. The patriotic leal which prompted our women to devote their time and energy to this work for their iovernment shows their willingness to make any cacriflce necessary for a speedier ending of the war and sav ing the lives of Surry County boys. Again thanking each one who as sisted in the work of the Woman* Liberty Loan. Very sincerely, Mrs. Porter Graves. Card of Appreciation. Through The News I wish to ei prcss to the local Are company my ap preciation for the splendid work they did in the Are that destroyed my offioe and threatened to •constfme the en tire building. I feel th£t without the heroism and persotaL' risk that the members exposed tfcj)fn*olvrs to that the loss would have fetn much great er. The big Are engine also proved itself to be worth more than its cost for without It the compftny would have been at a serious disadvantage. Dr. R. W.

London, Oct. 23.—In no circumstan rea ii it consistent with the safety, accural and unity of the British em Lpire that Germany's colonies should V returned to her, declared A. J. Balfour, the British foreign secre tary, in a speech at the luncheon of the Australian and New Zealand club today. Mr. Balfour said it wa.: absolutely usxential that the communications of the British empire should remain safe He asked if the German colonies were returned what security was there that . their oriipnal possessors would not i use them a* tta<e* for piratical war [ far*. The doctrine that the colonic I should not be returned, Mr. Balfour claimed, was not selfish and imperial i iftic. It was one in which the inter ' cats of the world were almost at much i concerned as the interests of the eni I pire itself. If the empire was to re ! main united it was absolutely neces sary that communication between the ! various parts sholud be at the mercy | of an unscrupulous power. Tax Notice.
