Berlin says "no materia gains have been made." But then perhapa Berlin dposn't know. THE BOYS RETURNED. Thirty-4hre out of eighty-seven tho boys of .Com pany B who left Kinaton last, Wednesday have returned "unfit for ervice." The Free Press is gratified to learn (hat (he large majority of those, who have been sent back home, were disqualified because of physical disad vanUgea and defectsdue to no fault of their own, Only a few of the "turndown",were rejected for causes which they could, by more correct living, have prevented. This Is encouraging. , There is no reflection upon the fellow who offered hla aervdcea but who was found "unfit" for the arduous duties of the soldier because he could not "add a cubit to his stature" or overcome a defective vision or otherweakness, which came to him not because of any serious abuse of (he powers and faculties that -God had endowed him with. ., All honor to the boys whose spirit was all right, even if their physical condition was stamped "unfit." This action has been made necessary by the large num ber of men found "unfit" for service and sent home. Captain Hill will be in Kinston until Tuesday night. He is naturally anxious to carry back with him a suffi cient number of men to fill out his Tanks. The call is for volunteers. It Wa patriotic call for the young men of physical fitness to respond to (heir country's needs in a time when the peace and safety of the nation ia threat ened. The Free Press hopes Captain Hill have have no trouble in securing the required number of men in res ponse to this call. fNORFOlCSOtlTTIEmJ A TIME FOR REFLECTION. Tomorrow the people of the United States of Amtjrica celebrate the 140th anniversary of the Declaration of In dependence of the world's greatest nation. Many buai ness concerns throughout the country will observe the entire day, others will take a part of tho day for rccrea tion and pleasure while some will toil on as usual. It behooves every man, whether he takes the day off, a part of it or stands up to the regular grind, to tak thought of the things that have contributed to the growth and prosperity of America; to reflect upon the respon sibility of citizenship and to endeavor to better utilize his own opportunities by finding out wherein he has fallen short of the mark of the good citizen in the past and to rectify those errors, in so far as lioth in him, in the future. It is well enough to spend the day in innocent and whole some recreation and amusement, symbolical of the free dom enjoyed by a liberty-loving, God-fearing people; but let that celebration not overstep the bounds of innocency and wholesomeness. E'y all mean lot it be a afe and sane and elevating observance, which wijl leave none of the effects of the "day after." WHAT OTHERS SAY SUCH MEN NEEDED. Announcement coming from Raleigh to the effect that W. A. Jennings, district manager of the Southern Bell Telephone Company, has severed his connection with that company to enter the insurance field, will be of interest to those who.have had dealings with Mr. Jennings in his official capacity. When he was made district manager about two years ago, The Free Press took occasion to comment upon his unusual personality and to suggest (hat he was of the type which would create friends for hia company and make few if any enemies. More and more the public service corporations of the country are coming to realize the necessity for putting men in res ponsible positions who will treat the, public with due con sideration. The old arbitrary policies; that saw only the one ide of the question, and which were responsible to a larger degree, perhaps, than an other factor, in creating a feeling of animosity on the port of the public, have been modified of late years and the change is working to the welfare of all concerned. The Southern Bell could well have afforded to make extra concessions to keep a man like Jennings in its employ. . AN EFFECTIVE REJOINDER. Winston-Salem Journal: "If Colonel Roosevelt should take the stump for Hughes, in which case he would find t necessary to defend the . O. P. organization, Penrose, Root, Cannon and the rest of the Old Guard leadens who are backing Hughes in this campaign, all tho Democrats would havo to do to answer T. R. effectively would be to entertain the audience with a graphophone selecbion en titled, "Theodore Roosevelt's Keynote Speech in the Cam paign of 1912." A CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS! Captain Hill of Company B (Kinston Rifles) of tha Second Regiment and other captains have been ordered back to their home stations to recruit men in sufficient numbers to fill the complement of men in the regiment. POLITICAL PROPHECIES. Birmingham News: "John M. Parker of (Louisiana, oc cupies a unique place in national politics. He is still on the National Progressive: ticket as a candidate for the Vice-Presddoncy, but the party has no head. Whether he will resign or decide to go it along and do what damage he can to Charles Warren Fairbanks will be determined after he talks with his Louisiana friends. He has even threatened to vote for Woodrow Wilson, as some hundreds of thousands of others will do in November. The politi cal lines will be as sharply defined as they ever were. 'Democrats ahd Progressives will meet Republican reac tionaries ts in former days, all without disguise,' writes a pretty safe political prophet." , TV.

Wilmington Diapatth: "Prescient Wilson continues to plainly tell what he stands for, while Mr. ex-Justice Hughes continues to only tell that he stands against President Wilson, Of course, this may be absolutely ne cessary for the Republican presidential candidate to stand for the slightest show of winning, but will it satisfy the people?
