' > . ; t, - i-- 1 I n HOLY CATFISH President Roosevelt, in his Navy Day speech, called attention to the German intention to do away with all existing religions and to substitute therefore the new German Paganism, a sort of worship of Adolph > Hitler. The German propaganda office in Berlin became more than ordinarily indignant over that, was emphatic in denial, and poured abuse upon the President for having said it. In that connection, we call attention to the fact that to the crimes of bearing false witness, wholesale murder, rapine, grand and petty larceny, arson, burglarly and infanticide, the Germans have added the following awful blasphemy. We quote Hans Kerrel, Reich-minister for church affairs:" There has arisen a new authority as to what Christ and Christianity really are?That is, Adolph Hitler. Adolph Hit1 r\ ** 1 O fho "HWItz rVhnet. " 1C1 lO bliu viiiuuv. That is a blasphemy so foul that we shudder even to print it for the information of our readers. How horrible! Adolph Hitler, Holy? And yet there are those who appear to see in the Nazi movement and the Nazi threat nothing more than a passing phase of human history in which we have no interest except a casual one! But, the elect will not be deceived. They can measure the movement by the yardstick laid down in Holy Writ telling the things that are the fruit of the spirit, and what the fruits of the flesh. By every test of the New Testament, Hitlerism is as far removed from Christianity as the east is from the west, as daylight is from dark. And; as the President pointed out, :i - ? ? ? ~ XTn m rklrtrt 4"/~v r] r\ 0TI70T7 nrifVi oil fVl a ov.

Arouse yourselves! The spirit of your God-fearing ancestors calls upon all who revere the God of Our Fathers to bestir themselves, to all who believe in the Freedom of Worship to foregather in their churches and dededicate themselves to the ancient faith; and then to be willing to sacrifice, to suffer, yea, to die, if it be necessary to hold up the Cross before a decadent and suffering world, and to keep the banner of freedom flying above a nation of freemen, and over the seas that surround that blessed land. OBEYING ORDERS When this war started, it was generally understood that many sacrifices would have to be made. There cannot be such an upheaval without affecting the lives and activities of everybody in this world. As the clouds grew darker, and the threat to America and to Liberty became more and more acute, it was recognized by all thinking people that the sacrifices wou}d necessarilly have to be many. They have just begun. Now comes an order reducing the use of power by thirty per cent by non-defense users of electric nv\ nvn-TT ' I' lo r? 4- /\m ciicjlgjr. xiiai/ uxuci guca 111 lu ciicul uii iviunuay muiiiing in Sylva and Jackson county, barring a heavy rain before that time. The order was necessary because the power from this area is connected with the huge defense industries in adjacent states. It will probably curtail many activities here, but the people hereabouts are partiotic and are willing to make whatever curtailment is necessary for the safety of the nation and our liberties. However, we would have better grace with which to assume our own sacrifices if the Office of Production Management had ordered an investigation of the magnesium possibilities in our olivine before so much pressure was brought to bear upon the subject. That is also a most essential industry to tne saiety 01 America and to the supplying of the allies with munitions. Yet, the OPM has neglected, and refused even to give it the small consideration of an investigation. If the OPM will tote fair with the people of Western North Carolina, it will5 find that there are no more loyal and patriotic group of people anywhere. In fact, they are loyal and patriotic anyway; but they feel that they and their claims are entitled to consideration when they present a matter to the OPM, or any other government agency, which they believe is worthy of the most sincere investigation, and which they believe would make a tremendous contribution . to the National Defense. They do not like to be sidestepped nor given the run-around, when they are sincere. It causes them to reach the conclusion that there is a nigger in the wood pile. t' *1. * * M -y^P^Fv.%'. - ' .

Contrasted with the scene are the quiet dignity with which Lord Halifax underwent the ordeal, and the humorous vein in which the British people expressed their envy of folks who had eggs to spare for such a purpose. j I For shame! We do not believe that these Women are true Americans. They, at least are not true to the traditions of decency and courtesy of our people, who would never allow an insult to be given to a stranger and a guest. At least that is the way folks feel about it in this part of the country. Lord Halifax is a gentleman. He was the guest of the people of Michigan and of the city of Detroit. He is more than that, he is the * ? - * 11 representative here of a great nation, in eacn 01 wiuse capacities he was entitled to the respect of the people. What juicy reading that scene must have made in Berlin! It just shows to what lengths the people of the isolationist and pacifist sentiments will allow themselves to go. Contrast it with the fact that even when the German Embassy was caught red-handed in intrigues against our government, in plots to invade our country through Mexico, in schemes to blow up our factories and our transportation systems, just prior to our entry into the World War. Then, not an indignity was cast upon the German Abassador or any of his attaches, although the people were fighting mad. It is the professional pacifist who lose their tempers and bring disgrace upon their country, not those who believe in standing up and being true men and true women, ready to serve and to sacrifice whenever the call of duty comes. TWENTY-THREE YEARS * Twenty-three years ago next Tuesday, the world was electrified with the news that the threat of a black-out of democracy had passed. The nightmare of terror was over. The war that had raged for more than four years and which had taken its toll of more than ten million men, that had destroyed great cities, that had ravaged the countryside of many nations, was over. The peoples that had been held in oppression for four years were freed. The might of Germany I had been smashed. 1 ? ? 1 1 A 1* So, witn nign nope, tne worm eni?rea upon a new era of peace, a new era in which it was believed that Bibical prophesy of permanent peace would come, and that men everywhere would dwell, each under his own vine1 and figtree, with none to molest or make him afraid. That peace, a basis for that high hope had be%n dearly won. Uncounted millions had suffered that it might be. But, now, the suffering was over. Men could look up and forward to the dawn of a new order that was sending its beams into the dark corners of this old world. < We have lived to see propaganda break down the faith of men and women. We have seen selfishness and narrow political advantage strike down those hopes. We have lived to see a newer and yet a.more terrible threat sweep over the earth like the wrath of God. That does not detract from the lustre of the heroic men and women of a quarter of a century ago. It does not take from the magnificient ideals of eladers of that day who dared to dream, and to work to bring those dreams into reality. Rather does it accentuate that heroism and force into the most recalcitrant minds the fact that those leaders were eternally right, and that those who called us to a worsnip OI inatcliaii.Mii aiiu tu iuuuw uicin ua^iv iaj normalacy were eternally wrong. There can be no Armistice this time. There can I be nt> peace, this time, without a complete and overwhelming victory. Germany must, this time, be made to feel the force of the indignation of an outraged humanity. German cities must suffer as Albert, Perrone, Ypres, and the others suffered in the first war, and as Warsaw, Rotterdam and the rest have suffered in this. German people must learn first hand how it feels to be driven from their blasted homes, and see their all snatched from them in the, face of advancing armies and roaring planes. That is a language they can understand and can respect, once they hear it in thundertones. But, as this Armistice Day dawns, Hitler is nearer to the complete domination of the entire world than any one man has ever been since the race emer ged from savagery. His legions hold great nations beneath the iron heel, while his troops storm their way through Russia, and dream and plan new conquests in other continents. Yet, there is always hope for men who dare to hope, who dare to sacrifice, who have faith. The ideals of 1918 are not dead. They can never die until the last brave man and the last virtuous woman has been mowed down by brute force, until every line of our glorious history has been erased, and the love of liberty has been plucked from the heart of the last human being on this earth who believes in our British legacy of freedom, until the last Bible has been burned, and until the holy example of sacrifice on Calvary has been forgotten. ___ When Ham Fish becomes converted from isolationism, the day of Americanism must be dawning. . i . . . . / % C . -.1 ' x I I - Football Games For Week End cc " Pi Below are listed the major a[ football games to be played this week end that will be of interest to the football fans of Western North Carolina: Alabama ?
