Subscribers are requested to notify, by Telephone 75, The Free Press of any Jrregularity of delivery or Inattention whatsoever on the rart of the carriers. Attn Six P. M. subscribers are requested to call West era Union and report failure to get the paper. A copy wDl be sent promptly, if complaint is made before Nine P. M, without cost to subscriber. meat, should meet with the approval of thf people of this country.' The note is positive but friendly. It is pointed out that Great Britain cannot in justice to the lighta of the people of the United States or any other neutral peo ple deny them. the privilege of trading with any of the belligerents. Great Britain fa advised? that the United States regards the black-list as "inevitably and essen tially inconsistent with the rights of all the citizens of all thi nations not involved in the war." -. Great D.-itain has violated the rights of neutrals by its unwarranted seizure of mails, not only directs! to its enemies, but to neutral countries, and has arrogated to Itself the right to seize and search aU mail. Protests have eone forward aeainst this practice, but no Telief has come. There has been a feeling abroad in this coun try that President Wilson has not been as firm in calling Great Britain to account as has characterized his nego tiations with Germany. Of course, The Free Press takes into consideration, in this connection, that the lives of American citizens were in jeopardy in the Germany con troversies and property only has been involved in the controversies witn Great Britain. But nevertheless the time has come for the United States to insist, upon a re cognition of itarighta and President' Wilson tfnd his ad visers will do well to insist upon a prompt withdrawal of the black-list and recognition upon the part of Great Brit ain of the rights of the people of this country. WEDNESDAY EVENING. AUGUST 2. 1916 Mr. Hughes used a good many words in his speech of acceptance whether he said anything or not. WHAT-OTHERS SAY CALL OF GENERAL YOUNG. The call of Brigadier General Young, Commander of the POLITICAL CONSCIENCE NOT AT BARGAIN. Wilmington Star; "For once the Hon. Claude Kitchin said too much when he talked about the check clearing business. He would have made a better showing but for his prophecy that if the Postmaster General's order is carried out North Carolina will go Republican by 25,000. North Caro)in:an would be poor Democrats if a small , North Carolina troops, atation4 at Camp Gldnn, for matter like check discounts would make Republicans of them.

The call of Genera! Young ahould not go unheeded. NO NEED FOR ALARM, BUT , PRECAUTION SHOULD BE TAKEN . , That a case of infantile- paralysis has Appeared in Kin aton, although not iv itself eufflcient to produce alarm, does call for action on the part of the .official and the citisens generally co-operating to prevent any spread of th malady. , ' , ., ' , ' The Free Press was Informed by Mayor Sutton todajr that the city authorities were' only awaiting a definite diagnosis of the case by the attending physicians to insti tute a rigid quarantine, The Free Press is informed that the doctors have definitely determined that tho little child is suffering with Infantile paralysis and it urges immediate action in taking precautionary measures. "Sumo of. the local physicians have-Informed The Free Press that infantile paralysis was not' eo contagious as diphtheria, scarlet fever and omeoother dangei-oua chil dren'a diseases,' and not ao deadly, 4n this connection, howevar, it must be kept in mind that the type of the malady, which ia now epidemic in Now York, has pro duced quite a large percentage of deaths, and regardless of whether death results or not (permanent affliction gen erally does. The Free Press hopes that the city officials, with tho advice of tho physicians, will suggest in the next day or; two a plan in which rthe citizens generally can co-operate to make euro that every .known and needed precaution ia taken. There is no need for alarm, but there it need for precaution. " GREAT BRITAIN MUST YIELD. . , The note of protest eent to Great Britain, in which that government is notified that the United States cannot ac quiesce in the abridgment of the lawful trading of itr eitisens by the so-called black-list of the British Govern Ing of green foods, however, as they are subject to too much handling between the garden and the table. In many market gardens the gathering of the produce is in trusted to a class of labor which is not any too cleanly; and care seldom Is exercised to insure cleanliness. "Food exposed for sale in markets also is often subject to indiscriminate handling by prospective purchasers. As a protection berries and foodstuffs eaten raw should be thoroughly washed before being served. It is much better to visk a slight impairment of the flavor than to chance eating uncloan foods. "Nigh&oil should not be used for -fertilizing gardens from which the produce may be eaten raw. ( Many cases are on Record where typhoid fever has resulted from fail ure to heed this caution." - FRANCE PAYS TRIBUTE: TO MEMORY 0F F1RST HERO 0Ff GREAT STRIFE By HENRY WOOD, (United Press Staff Correspondent) j Paris, August 2. France paused 'oday in tribute to the memory of Corporal Jules-Andre Peugeot the irst Frenchman killed in the present war. .. : It was at Joncherey on the Upper Rhinei 'at 10 "o'clock a. m., Auguat 2, 1914, about 24 hours before the'war vas actually declared between Ger many and France, that Peugot was shot to death by Lieut. Mayer, at h8 head of a German pa-trol squad. A national subscription is today be ng collected under the patronage of he Minister of War and the Minister )f Public Instruction for the erection if a monument to Corporal Jules-An-Ire Peugeot on the spot where he fell. ; Peugeot, 21, was a corporal in the Sixth Company of the 44th Regiment of infantry. Early in August he was stationed at Joncherey, two kilome ters from Delle and twelve kilometers from the German frontier. . On the morning of Aupust 2, he had just finished placing a sentinel and returned to the houe of A. M. Dau court, when the lattcr's little daugh ter came running in, crying: 'JThe Prussians! The Prussians." Rushing outside, Corporal Peugeot found himself facing a mounted Ger man patrol of seven members under command of Lieut. Mayer of the Fifth Regiment of Chasseurs, statiotrsd at Mulhouse. Peugeot give the order to halt, to which Mayer replied by drawing his revolver and firing three shots into the body of the corporal. The latter fell to his knees, discharging his gon before he could take aim. By this time a few of ' Peugeot's men had rushed up, one of whom, named Monnier, killed Lieut. Mayer with two shots from his rifle. In the fight that followed, participated in- by some French dragons who had come up at the sound of the firing, all of the Germans were killed with the exception of one, who escaped. ; t ' , Like stealind a doze after ike clock goes otkey-satisfy ONE OF MANY QUESTIONS FOR HIM. Wilmington Dispatch: "Admittedly Mr. Hughes is grood lawyer and fce would probably confide to his friends that he has always .bragged of being frank. Honce, if it too much to ask Mr. Hughes' opinion in the Appam case Does Mr. Hughes believe, as evidently does the State Department, that tho Appam belongs to Germany, or does he believa that it should bo given into the hands of the English? It would not be a bad idea on the part of those German-Americans, who seem to be so blindly following Mr. Hughes, to get an opinion from him on this and other luch questions, Including submarine warfare, even though :t might embarass Candidate Hughes. And when ho answered it would be interesting to see whether or not he gave the wink to "those two rabid antl German citizens, Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and Senator Ienry Cabot Lodge, who are among Mr. Hughes' chief jupporters. How Mr. Hughes would answer these questions speci ieally would not be to his discredit, but tho manner in vhich he is dodging all issues, by failure to answer plain y and directly, certainly is. Do the people want a man f mystery, a human mass of quicksand for their Presi- Jent." ' . ' . i ITi NORFOLK SOUTHERN POPULAR EXCURSION ? TO NORFOLK, VA. Exceptionally Low Round Trip Fares.
