The South raised her own meats
once and can do it again, despite the
Increase in population. They are be
ginning to find out at last that the
South possesses all the requisites for
a fine cattle growing country.
New Bern men of capital are not
yet bestirring themselves particular
ly about buying a. bale of cotton
apiece. It behooves them, to bestir
themselves. We do not wish this to
be the last town to fall in line with
the cotton-saving campaign.
A resolution of Mr. W. C. Dowd's
was passed at a mass meeting in
Charlotte calling upon the Governor
to call a special session of the Legis
lature to deal with the cotton situa
tion. Such a special session should
by all means be called. There are
ways and means which can be work
ed out whereby the farmers will be
caved loss on cotton this year and
next year. The need is Imperative;
yet it only takes a little cooperation
to save the situation.
If Emperor William has not plann
ed and carefully prepared for the
present general melee then he will
find it difficult to explain Germany's
liuge standing army which he has
drained his country of its life-blood
to build up and which has had all
Europe straining desperately to keep
up with it for so many years. In the
light of this reflection, the frequency
-with which the Kaiser asserts that
he is battling for the Lord might well
cause the allies to apply to him
Labouchere's famous remark as to
(Gladstone. This terse and expressive
comment was as follows: "I do not
mind Mr. Gladstone's always having
an ace up his sleeve, but I do object
to his always saying that Providence
jttt it there." ; ''
V An observer of New Bern traffic,
with the continuous whizzing by of
automobiles, is apt to be struck with
the number of times collisions are
narrowly averted. Occasionally ve
hicles do bump into one another, but
fortunately no serious accident has
occurred in a long time. One com
mon cause of these collisions besides
a great annoyance to traffic is vehi
cles trying to turn around. A city
as large as New Bern Bhould have
the law, in force in some of our
neighboring towns, forbidding vehi
cles to turn around except on a corn
er. 4 We submit to the Aldermen
that such ah ordinance would materi
ally help in avoiding congestion in
the business streets. If the keep-to-
the-right law. is enforced and if au-
tomobiles, carriages, buggies, and
wagons are prevented front trying to
turn around in the middle of a block
the regulation of traffic so as to
avoid accidents, delays, and annoy
ance should be simplified, - .'-
A leading Socialist monthly maga
zine sees in the war a message for
the United States. No one man, it
says, nor even Congress, should have
the power of declaring war, which
should only be done by a vote of the
whole people. This sounds exceed
ingly nice, but the magazine is forc
ed to explode its own case by an ad
mission that Congress should have
the power of declaring defensive war.
In case the United States was sud
denly attacked by a hostile nation or
by a coalition of foreign powers, the
Socialist publication admits that it
would take entirely too long to put
our heavy national election machin
ery in motion. And how is the line
to be drawn between what shall con
etltute offensive and what defensive
: warfare? There is not a nation in
Europe today that will admit. It Is
waging an 'offensive war.: - They are
' all. If we are to taketnelr wofds for
It,, fighting to protect their hearth
stones. V The aide one Is on is invari
ably the defensive side; the other
v side is alwaye the unprovoked at-
' tsckere. And do not tha American peo
Ble already have their own way

PARIS AGAIN TO ' K
BECOME CAPITAL
(Cotlane From raise Oae.) -
will the Russians do?"
BERLIN, Sept. 14. A correspon
dent at German headquarters reports
that a terrific struggle has been rag
ing for the last eight days, not only
around Paris, but along the whole
front from Paris to Verdun, Nancy
and Lorraine.
The army of the north, according
to this correspondent, has repulsed
another story of a British division
from Antwerp. '-'.-'
Reports of the Paris battle cover
only a sortie from Paris September
5, and an attack by the French and
English September 6. They do not
touch later phases of the conflict.
The French, in their attack
against the line at Meux September
5, developed an extremely heavy ai
tillery fire by a number of heavy
batteries from Paris. This attack
was repulsed and the batteries fol
lowed until they gained shelter un
der the guns of the Paris fortifica
tions, v
The attack was resumed the next
day in connection1 with a' vigorous
offensive by the French and British
armies along the line from Meaux
to Montmorail; the most severe
fighting occurred along the Petit
Morin river. The French artillery
fire again was the feature of the
combat. ' '
The overwhelming forces endan
gered the German flank at Crepy,
necessitating withdrawal , of "that
wing. - ''''. ,';'" V'
The Crown Prince's army has
drawn a circle around Verdun so far
that the forts between Toul and
Verdun can be attacked . on both
sides and then fall will open a new
gap for the ' Germans Into France.
Prince Joachim, who recently was
wounded while serving on the firiag
line, has been ; removed from : the
hospital at AUenstoin to Berlin. '
The Empress met him at the sta
tion and kissed and embraced him.
LONDON, Sept. 14. The sixth
week of the war between Germany
and France, Great Britain and Bel
gium, has brought a vast transfor
ation. - The pursued are .low the
pursuers. The irresistible sweep of
seven German armies through Bel
gium into France met an Immovable
force at the river Marne. :. -si
The army of General Von Kluck,
which so long battled to turn the
allies' western flank, was slowly and
steadily outflanked. Its retirement
before the small, but hardy, British
army, turned the tide of the battle.
: Today, if French official report
are correct, all the German armies
except that facing Verdun and a few
miles southwest, are retreating; Gen
eral Von Kluck's army, which a
week ago was a few miles southeast
of Paris, has retired more , than f.O
i miles to the northeast, while on the
tacking the French eastern line from
Naacy to EpinaL hae fallen bark to
the frontier of Lorraine, permitting
the French to reoccnpy ; Lnneville
and several other towns.
General Joffre, French commander
pictures the retreat as Germans
abandoning wonnded and supplies.

IIIEOED
OF MILITARISM
II
Secretary Bryan Predicts End
Df Warfare Between Civil
ized Nations. ..
AH
Baltimore, Md., Sept 14. Predict
ing that the ."convulsions - - through
which Europe is now passing are but
the death throes of militarism,, Sec
retary of State - William. J.; Bryan
made the' principal- address at the
Star-Spangled ; Banner - celebration
here Saturday. The secretary acted
as the personal representative - of
President Wilson and expressed the
regrets of the chief executive for his
inability to be present.
"Let no one think that the texture
of our manhood," said Secretary Bry
an, "will be of a lower quality when
its strength is no longer- tested by
the stress of war. We could not wor
ship God as we do if we were con
vinced that each generation must be
exercised in blood-letting in order to
prevent stagnation. There is as much
inspiration in a noble life as in a
heroic death. With, peaceful pro
gress the . avenues of usefulness are
being multiplied; instead of seeking
to extend our territory by the sword
we are enlarging it by intelligent
cultivation of the soil; so instead of
measuring our merit by the numbers
we can overcome we estimate great
ness by the servfce rendered.
"In the day that is dawning the
bravery of self-restraint will take
the place of that bravery, which
tramples upon the rights of others,
man will dare to forgive and leave
vengeance to the Lord." rt ;
The secretary paid a glowing trib
ute to Francis Scott Key, the author
of the song.
"Our starry banner," bs said,
beautiful as it is to tne eye and
there is none more beautiful de
rives its real splendor from the fact
that it floats 'o'er the land of the
free and the home of the brave.'
"We know for what the flag stood
when it was first unfurled, and with
what courage it has been defended.
We might, without exhausting our
theme, occupy this hour in thanks
giving for all that has been achieved
under the red, 'White and blue, and
In praise of those who have won for
it love at home and respect abroad.
But gratifying as that would be,
more advantage could be gained from
the contemplation of the part which
we must play, today and tomorrow,
in determining what that flag shall
symbolize, what kind of freedom
shall it . represent to the world and
for. what sort of bravery shall . it
stand." "'- V.

Albemarle, Sept. 14: One of the
most shocking accidents which Stan

time was that which happened late
Wednesday, five miles east of Alber

cd Gordon Hudson, both men being
respected "white men.-. Mr. Morton
was out . with his gun trying to kill
a hawk which had been giving his
chickens trouble. Mr. .Hudson was
high up in a tree picking muscadines.!
Mr. .Morton, , being some aistance
away thought the. hawk had lit in
the tree in - which , Mr, Hudson was
picking muscadines, so easing hear
er apd ' nearer he discovered some
thing moving-the leaves and, think
ing that he knew the identical spot
where the hawk was, fired. Instead
