If the Tom Watson brigade would read the story of the Belgian Prince and other atrocities of the Germans to their would he disciples, they might find it more diffi cult to get a patient hearing for their anti-draft and treasonable -utterances. If Uncle Sam's war compensation bill goes Into effect, the Provost Marshal General need not be surprised, when future drafts are made, to receive numerous letter from wive telling h:m that their spouses will be more useful in France than at home. It is hardly to be expected that the War Department will make known the plana for the distribution of its fight ing forces, but the dispatch of a contingent to Russia would create about aa much enthusiasm as did General Pershing's expeditionary force in France. Kinston hails with congratulations and hurrahs her quad of lieutenants. . It is now Lieutenant Knox, Lieu tenants Lewjs (three of them begorry!) Lieutenant Rouse, Lieutenant Allen, Lieutenant iMcDaniel and Lieu tenant Duffy. Their commissions were announced at the Fort Oglethorpe training camp Saturday. The apparent auppression of the outlawry, as mani festedt in the anti-draft demonstrations throughout the country, should not be regarded with too much assurance that the seed of discord has been killed. The threat of drastic action and punishment has served to force the less courageous to cover but some actual punishment must be meted out before the traitors are really apprised of the Government's purpose to brook no interference. Continued vigilance until all the unfaithful are hunted to their most secret lairs is the only aafe course to pur uie in ridding the country of the menace of these undesirables. A SHOW OF PATRIOTISM NEEDED. It is patent to all thinking people that the strong arm of the law, regardless of how drastic and thorough its operation may be, will not be sufficient to purge the country of treason and sedition. There must be a count er,show of patriotism which will offset the seed of enemy propagandists. It is not worthy the American patriot that he sit idly by and await the action of the slow mov ing machinery of the Department of Justice to stop seditious' and treasonable work of agitators. It behooves a patriotic people to 3ee to it that their gathering, in times like these are not subject to the speeches of trait ors and malinformants, but that the spirit of patriotism shall breathe in. every public meeting and tho.se who oc cupy the speakera' stands be men capable of presenting the problems thjt confront this Nat-ion and who are in clined to present them as they are. The average Ameri can needs only to have the scales taken off his eyes to align him with the things that make for the safety and progress of the Nation. It is the bounden duty of the informed patriotic people of this country to see to it that knowledge be imparted to the ignorant ami illiterate, that their minds not become the fertile soil for the planting of sedition and treason. The Free Press agrees with Mr. G. V. Cowper of the rocal bar and chairman of the Lenoir County Board of Education, that the time is ripe for the patriotic people to go into the highway and hedges and inform the peo ple and thus put a substantial stumbling block in the way of the traitors and self-seeking propagandists. Ms. Cowper't suggestion and the tender of his Loan! of the school houses yt the County for a systematic campaign of education are both worthy the teriout consideration of he people of this .

The war compensation, indemnity and insurance introduced in both branches of Congress Friday and car ried in that day's issue of The Free Press in detail, will, if i .tbecomes law, insure the family of every man, who goes to the front or takes up arms in defense of his country, against the "wolf at the door". The outstand ing features of the bill and those which will appeal to the thinking people of this country are: First insurance at a most reasonable rate about 35 per cent of that charged by Insurance companies; second a guarantee to the dependants of every man that they will get at least a part of the income of the soldier, whether he w mindful of their needs or not; Third the compulsory sav ing habit of at least a part of the soldier's pay; Fourth the elimination of a miserly pension system. The bill will commend itself to modern thought, because it - is based on business principles, because it insures airainst want and is not simply a makeshift and because it is but right that a powerful and rich nation like the , T an chairman of the Surgical United States should protect those, who shoulder arms j ,,rfMi" CommJttee. anJu , . , , , Robt.

C, Aug. 5. (Delayed in Transmission) Ever since the Red Cross War Council was appointed by President Wilson earnest efforts have been made to secure effective co-cperation with the Red Cross by all the allied war relief organizations. The first important fruit of these ef forts is the establishment of a working plan of co-operation with the Na tional Surgical Dre.;sinigs Committee. Henry P. Davidson, chairman of the Red Cross War Council, today authorizes the following statement: "The Red Cross is very much grat-, Yet other articles have been sent to ified to be able to announce that the National Surgical Dressings Commit tee, one of the most important relief organizations called into being by the European War, has ibecome an auxil iary of the American Red Cross.

Greensboro News: "What about the surrender High Point Enterprise Inquires: "Did General Robert E. Lee give up his sword to Gen eral Grant at the surrender of the Confederate armies and the Union general refuse the sword? "Or, is it all a myth? "That is what a motion picture concern at Greenville, S. C... now wants to dotermine. It is making a picture called 'The Rise and Fall of the Confederacy,' and earn estly desii,es that information. "It is now in order for any man who was present at that notable event to let us know what about it. There are several versions of the memorable occurence, but none of them appears to agree with the other. Certainly, there is someone in this section of the ountry who was present when Confederacy gave Its last gasp." '"At any rate, Grant was there; and if any such( event as the tender of the sword of Lee had taken place, Surely he would have lemembered it." whereby other wan relief organiza tions may become allies of the Red Cross and join with it in carrying a practical message of aid and relief :imong those of our own people and our allies who may be sick, wound '.d, and suffering because of this war. "The National Surgical Dressings Committee has done a marvelous work. It has made and forwarded over 16,000,000 surgical dressings for use in over 1,500 hospitals on the continent of Europe.

The Red Cross cannot pro vide shipping arrangements for ar ticles other than those which its in vestigations in Europe show to be required there. "It should be understood, however, tht the situation as to relief orga nizations which prevails now as com pared with them before the declara tion of war by the United States, is wholly different. Prior to that time the American Red Cross had to be neutral, whereas the various relief organizations were under no such obligation. With our entry into the war, the Red Cross became free to exert itself in any way which, with in the scope of its general activities, might aid our allies and allied peo ples. "We earnestly hope that no one WEDNESDAY. AUGUST is, j9l STATE NEWS cial reference to the particular needs will feel that the Red Cross desires "DISGRACE OF TYPHOID." Raleigh Times: "The first cases of typhoid fever oc curring in Raleigh this season have been reported to the health authorities. Investigation has not yet gone far enough to determine whether they are likely to have originated in a common source, or whether they are simply sporadic cases the exact cause of which will never be known. But one thing is very certain: neither of the patients was inoculated against the disease, although twice in two years the facilities of the city have been tendered free of charge to all citizens to avail themselves of what is with respect of typhoid a complete health insurance. One other thing deducible from this fact Is that had there not been thousands of Raleigh people who had the foresight to have themselves and their children inoculat ed, the presence of fever even in a few cases means that without the preventive measures taken there would have been fever in many cases. We speak in no manner of reproach of individual's in saying that the time is not far distant when to contract typhoid fever without having been inoculated against it will be as personally disgraceful as it now Is considered to he to fall a victim to some of the common varieties of filth diseases." in different localities, and its work has been handled with great efficien cy and with 'splendid spirit "The committee has about 25,000 working members In different parts of the United States. "The arrangement with the Red Cross provides that the Surgical Dressings Committee shall retain its name and organization, and carry on its present work in the United States as a national auxiliary of the Red Cross. It may solicit funds in its own name, but no solicitation shall be made in the name of the Red Cross unless all the proceeds therefrom are turned over, to the Red Cross organization. The committee will give full reports concerning its activities and finances to the Red Cross. ' "The Red Cros will seek to perfect the standards of materials sent abroad, and will disseminate among all Chapters and organizations doing relief work information as to the na ture and quantity of materials and supplies most needed at the front. The Surgical Dressings Committee,: in Its work for American hospitals in Europe, will conform to such standards. to do anything but help. The Red Cross is an American institution, chartered by the United States Gov ernment, and the President of the United States is its President. The organization belongs to the Ameri can people, and seeks in this great world emergency to do nothing more and nothing less than to co-ordinate the generosity and the effort of our people toward achieving a supreme aim." By reason of his appointment by President Wilson to membership on the Wan Industries Board, Judge Robert S. Lovett has resigned as chairman of the Committee on Co operation of the Red Cross. This committee has had in hand the plans for co-ordinating the work of the va rious war relief organizations with the Red Cross. Henry P. Davidson, chairman of the War Council, has appointed to succeed Judge Lovett on this com mittee C. A. Coffin, chairman of the Board of Directors of the General Electric Company, and also member of the War Relief Clearing House. Mr Davidson has also added to the committee Mr. H. E.

Dughi, a well known caterer and fruiterer of Raleigh, to kill his wife, from wlhom he had been sep arated about a year. The attempt was made on the main business street and only timely interference of by standers prevented the Accomplish ment of his purpose, it is said. Dug hi is in jail. Captain John S.

Corn, wheat, oats, and other grain feeds are going to be too high in price to be the sole feed for hogs during the winter. It will be necessary for cheap produc tion of pork that pastures be used in connection with these feeds. Ac cording to experts of the Agricultur al Extension Service, rape is one of this purpose. An acre of good land the' best crops that can be grown fcr planted in rape will afford grazing for five or six 100-pound fattening pigs throughout the entire winter if a half ration of grain is employed as a supplement; or an acre of this rape will make from 300 to 500 pounds of pork. An acre of rye, oats barley and wheat will usually do about half as well and will in addition yield a partial crvp of grain after the hog3 are removed. In a recent experiment it was found that where hogs were fattened on rape pastures supplemented with the necessary ration of corn and wheat shorts very satisfactory pro fits were made, while those fattened on corn and wheat shorts alone in dry lots gave little or no profit. Mr. C. B. Williams, Chief- of the Division of Agronomy, advises, the fall seeding of this crop any time between August 20 and October 15. The seed are own broadcast either alone or with other crops, like small grains and crimson cloven. When sown alone 4 or 5 pounds of seed per acre will be sufOeienfc J ; " ' According to Mr. William the following; precaution ( should bo ob- "In pasturing rape the hogs should not be allowed on it until the plants are at least 10 to 12 inches high, for if pasture before this time the young plants will be likely to be pulled up and killed. Care should be exercis ed, too, that the number of hogs on the pasture is not so large as to keep the rape too closely grazed, for such would pnove fatal to the plants and the life of the pasture would thereby be materially shorten ed. After being grazed, the plants should be given an opportunity to get well( started into growth before being grazed again.
