'I hope that every Red Cross wember will repeat this confident rnessage," said Ex-President ,Taft today. "It is designed to show everyone that this fund for human itarian relief is really a business like method of helping to win the war. The words themselves may not reach the troops in the line or the war harassed civilians, but the tangible results of this appeal must convince them that America backs her own men and is a real ally. This will help to maintain their winning spirit. "American Red Cross activities include a wide range ol human sal vage efforts. First for the relief of our boys and the fighters of the Allies the maintenance of great hospitals and unfailing stores of surgical supplies, skilled nu r $es provision of ambulances, establish ment of rest and convalescent homes and furnishing of sweaters and com forts. They include operation of canteens for supplying food, bath ing and sleeping facilities" to troops in transit way stations, as it were of the Red Cross mothering influence which surrounds' "'evryAhftHcfr boy from the time he leaves home until he returns, or soothe his pain and record his last brave message.

The parade was formed at the foot of the Court House steps and marched to the auditonum where a large Red Cross banner was raised on the grounds The crowd filled the auditorium ,to over- sey of Asheville, who addres the people on the subject of the War and the Red Cross. Hon. J. B. Eh slev introduced the speaker with some very fitting remarks. Alter tne address tne crowd re turned to the Court House to see the "Human Spider" perform. W. C. Strother, a North Carolina boy who has onlv been climbing for the past few months, climbed to the top of the Goddess of Justice in less than fifteen minutes. The large crowd stood breathless while he was doing some ol his dare-devil stunts, such as standing on his head on top of the Goddess of Jus tice, which is ninety feet high, rid ing a bicycle around the cornice and doing a chair balancing stunt. Before the Spider performed a collection was taken which amount ed to something like three hundred dollars. w. s. s. Dept. Of Farm Demon- stration. SAVE THE HOGS. THE ARMY NEEDS THEM. Dr. F. D.

At the present high price of hogs one cannot afford to run the risk of losing all his hogs by an outbreak ofeeholera, which often starts like the raid of the thief , in the night without any previous warning; : It should be borne in mind that the turkey buzzardfree range and run ning streams, the worst agents by which hog cholera is disseminated in N.

The Children's Bureau of the 1 United States Departmenrof Labor, the State Boards of Health through out the country, and various organ izations ' of women all over the United States are this year uniting in the effort to teduce the deaths among the babies by at least 100,000 in the Nation. t North, Carolina is asked to save the lives of 3,130 babies in this State this year, or to reduce the number of deaths here tofore occurring in the State by that number. The State Board of Health is heartily assisting in this movement. and already the safety of the baby has been emphasized in a number of communities with displays, ex hibits, lantern slides and lectures furnished by the Board. North Carolina people are taking an active interest in the movement, and evi dently are determined to do more than is requii ed, a as has -been the case in nearly all patriotic move ments inaugurated since the war begun.

ROBERT M. McELROY. Educational Director of the National Security League. Why does America fight Germany? Our ideals are threatened with de struction, and we must fight to main tain them. We are fighting for t h e fundamental, thoughts, the dreams, the Ideals, th-3 aspira tions, which to day are seething in the vast poly glot community which we call the United States of America. Tha.t is what we are fight ing for, we Amer icans, whether of i English bjood, o W71 . Tj j? iencn or xiauan or Russian or Dr. R. M. McElroy Spanish blood. What have, we tn common to cause us to rise at the call Of a common Im pulse and prepare to die for a common cnuse? It would bo easy to formulate -the characteristic dreams of the Rus sian, the Italian, the Belgian, the Scotch, the Irish or the Portuguese. It would be possible to catch the gleam of idealism which has given to the French the glorious title of the "Hero Nation." But none of these would suffice. We must take a' cross section of all f them, and a dozen more, to formulate the "Ideals which course in common through them ail after they have been united into what we call America. For it is common ideals which have titJ&s formed the men and women of all these races and kindreds and tongues into our nation, which stands today facing the grim fact of war, a war to which no man dare call them in the name of race, or language, or previous aUegl mice. ... . ... ., World Citizenships ; The President has placed our inter vention -in- this war upon a qplaoCof 'idealism,, to which- every- citizen at j0xttfoFto i the land from which his forefather s- the lafid from which his have come. It is not the call of a nar row nationalism, but the call of world citizenship. . Our entrance into this war Is no con cession to the accursed gospel of force and fraud. We wish nothing for our selves, but have resolved to quote the oft quoted words of our President) that "the world must be made safe for democracy and its peace planned upon the trusted basis of political lib erty." We scorn the idea that "might is right," but we are willing to take our part in policing the world against the madmen . who act upon that doc trine. "How High Your Ideals?" History will not ask us or any other nation, "How big was your army?" but "How high were your Ideals?" Not "How vast your navy?" but "What was your devotion to duty?" Not "How quickly could you mobilize?" but "What thought have you contributed toward the betterment of mankind?" To those questions Germany can an swer, "I contributed to the world th idea of representation," for, as Montesv quieu telts us, the representative idea was "born in the forests of Germany." She will have to confess, however, that she cast it out, a naked infant, in or der to make room for the throne of the great, black idol, military power, and today America and her allies are marching in resistless coTumns, carry ing that foundling back to Its home.

What the German government mean by a "place In the sun" Is the extermi nation of the peoples whose soil It covets so that Germans may- replace those that have been exterminated. The systematic destruction of civil ians in Belgium, northern France, Po land, Serbia, and the actual enslave ment of the survivors, proves it the frequently boastedGerman "policy of blood and iron" and; the "Hymn of Hate," which has become a national4 hymn, proclaims Jt : From the rudimental condition of ancient barbarism, a spiritual develop ment w-as ' possible ; from the accom plished Inhumanity, of Prusslanlsni. a more rigid inhumanity only is possible. A German victory would mean the blight of what we call civilization and the elimination of what we believe di vine in man. What we believe- In. what we cherish what we are, would, be annihilated by the essence of Pms slanism; our world would be destroyed 1 by'Prusstc acid, - . . - 1 - .7 ' ft- "-, "5
