which the United S'ates has insisted shall be respected

There is little hope for continued pleasant diplomatic

Admiral Fisko says building ships is easy when the
money is provided, but manning them is another ques
tion. There is no doubt thai the men behind the guns
make the navies and the armies of the world.

The movie industry is feeling ithe effect of the war
' in John Bull's realm. It is reported that at Winnipeg,
in the Province of Manitoba, a eeat tax of 20 cents for
each ona occupied for every performance, has been levied.
The "consumer" will pay the bill.
The resignation of Dr. Melton Clark, pas'.or of the
First Presbyterian Church of Greensboro, to accept e
all to the work at Charleston, S. ., is of interest not
only to hit congregation, but tto Presbyterians and others
throughout the State. Dr. Clark has had a most suc
cessful pastorate of ten years in Greensboro, and Ms
church there is numbered among the lending ones of the
brotherhood. North Carolina will regret to giv him up.
THE V.U.I K OK PLAYGROUNDS.
The vjIlic of giving the little tut, the boys and girl-'
and the grown-ups, a place for outdoor recreation and
frtsh :iir is becoming more generally appreciated 1
throughout the country; everywhere there Is demand for
public playgrounda and parks, and backward, indeed, is
the local sty which is not becoming aroused to the neces
sity for providing such. In this connection, the Wilming
ton Star recently printed iho following very interesting
comment: '
"We tried to count the babies in the jmstoffice
park ycste:iluy afternoon, but they romped about
in such glee 'that we counted up to about forty
and had to quit. The park made a perfect pic
ture on account of the mobilization of baby car
riages, go-carts, nurses and kiddies, all ranging
from th'.' tt to the infant class.
"The afternoon was radiant and balmy and .the
kiddies were out for an airing. They were de
lighted to get into the sunshine, and that was
plain enough to see in the exuberance of their
spirits. (lt impressed us more than ever with tho
value of playgrounds for children all over Wil
mington. Any one can observe how healthful
playground outings for the children would be.
Wh-n ithe weather is fine it is a shame to keep
children cooped up in the house. They need
fre.h air, and those who look upon the play
ground movement with indifference would do so
no more if they could only see the babies on our
block.
"Postoflice park is just opposite The Star of
fice, and those who would like to see a joyous
" throng of children any pretty afternoon shoul.l
stroll by the paTk and get an inspiration."
The Free Press has consistently and persistently ad
vocated the establwhmcnit of playgrounda in Kirfston, and
it is confident rthat the people hore will come to the as
sistance of tho few, who have really shown an intartst
in tho welfare of the boys and girls in this respect, sooner
or later. Kinston not only 'Vieeda a playground for the
children, but it needs a nice park where the older folks
can congregate and enjoy nature's blessings. Hasten the
Jay whon these things may be had.

The Free Press jolna the brethren of the State in ex
"pressing aorrow at the death of Hon. Thomas J. Pence,
formerly of Raleleh, but more recently resident of
Washington.; Mr. Pence was a Journalist of national re
putations ha atood high not only in the newspaper world,
Iwt In tht council of the lemooratic party, of which he
wai national aocretary. Mr. Pence's death was not un
expected, but came after a long illness of a complica
tion of diseases Involving his vital organs. v His passing
awoy has been tho occasion for many aplendid tributes.
President Wilaon, senators, congressmen, and other lead
ing public men have given testimony of his worth as ?.
imn and servant of the party.
THE REVISED REPORTS BETTER.
The revised repents from tho attack on the Briiish
ntviuncr Sussex bringing the good news that all Ameri
cans, known io have been aboard the ll-fatd ahip, were
landed safetly, are more satisfactory. Tho fact thait
no American lives were lost, does not alter (he seriousness
of the international situation, however, which the wan
ton attack, without warning, if it id proven that such
waa the case, upon a merchantman creates: but it is
gratifying that no American homes ore draped in mourn
ing because of this latest act of barbarism.
Nothing has been said in the published reports about
the ship being armed or unarmed, and the absence of
such reports would most probably indicate that no guns
were carried. So far as the United Statos position is
concerned, the question of guna would not affect one way
or the ther, but from Germany's viewpoint there would
be a material difference, Germany has given her solemn
word that no "peaceful" merchantman carrying passen
gers and non-combatants will be attacked without warn
ing; that being the case Germany is guilty of violation
of her "promise if it is shown that ithe Sussex was un-
WHAT OTHERS SAY
CONFEDERATE TACTICS.
, Charlotte Observer: "Again The Richmond News Lead
er has found in the situation at Verdun tactics (that may
be French in their origin, but that are Confederate in
their development. The News Leader says it is to Na
poleon that we owe the theory of the offensive-defensive;
it is to Lee that we look for its most brilliant and clas
sical application. The Seven Days' campaign of 18G2,
the scries of battles from Second Manassas to Fredericks
burg, and the matchless movement from ithe Rapidan to
the James taught the world how a email army, operating
on an inner line, could change with magical swiftness
from defense to offense and Iwck again, confusing, con
founding and routing the enemy. "The self-satisfied com
manders of the German general staff,' says The News
Lender, 'refused to learn from the Confederates and con
temptuously dubbed our battles the 'conflict of armed
mobs.' Joffre and his fellow-students of the French staff
know tho Virginia battles as well as any Americans, and
have steadfastly applied the lessons ihose campaigns
taught Tho result, we take it, will speak for itself.' In
explanation of the offensive-defensive, Tho News Leader
says the defensive is not supposed, under accepted strat
egy, to wrest tne otrensive rrr.m tne otner belligerent so
long as the attacking force makes no impression and suf
fers greater losses. It is hotter to sustain the casualties
of a defensive and to let .'.he enemy exhaust himself. For
the moment tho defenders of a position assume the offen
sive, their losses quickly rival those of tho assailant and
their reaorve strength h depleted. So well recognized
are these principles that it is often considered good strat
egy to pay a heavy price for a given line if thereby the
other side can be tempted to costly counter-attacks."
