I want him to be a sportsman. I want him to be able to win like a gentleman, to lose like a man. I want him to grow up in a world where a victory gained by foul tactics Is incom prehensible. I want him to feel always that his word is sacred; that no advantage to himself or others Justifies the violation of his oath. I want him to reverence the memory of his mother, to look upon all women with clean eyes. I want him to grant, as a matter of fact, the demands of weakness upon strength. I want him to look upon human beings as individuals, to accept cheerfully another's right to a belief contrary to his own. I want him to gain his own beliefs through searching his own soul, not by blindly accepting the dicta of others. 1 want him to believe In a generous. God, a God Who is a Gentleman, not a demoniac God who plays favorites. One Judges a man by his professed beliefs, by his acknowledged deeds. One Judges a raoe in the same manner. By their professed beliefs, by their acknowledged deeds, I Judge the Germans. And I firmly believe that a world ruled by them would be a world in which it would be impossible for my son to grow up to be the man I want him to be. (Contributed by Mr. KEMBLE and Mr. ROCHE to the NATIONAL SECURITY LEAGUE'S Campaign of Patriotism Through Education.) War Brings Huge Debts to Many Nations. The London Economist for Feb ruary places the total gross debt of Great Britain at 6,678,600,000 ; pounds ($27,636,000,000). The French minister of finance in presenting, the budget for 19 IS-estimated the public debt of France on December 31, 1918 ( at 115,166, 058,000 francs ($22,227,000,000). The public debt of Iatly at the end of 1917 is estimated at about 35,000,000,000 lire ($676,000,000, 000). The debts of the central powers are estimated as follows: Germany, $25,408,000,000; Austria, $13,314, 000,000; and Hungary, $5,704,000, 000. Our own public debt is now around 8,000,000,000 but more than half of this amount has been loaned to the allies. It is estimated that of the total net expenditures of the United States for the fiscal year 1918, exclusive of our advances to the allies, more than one-half will be defrayed by taxation, according to the Treasury Department. Within the last few weekstalk of North Carolina going Republican in November has become common in Washington. It is.- evident that somebody is peddling it out. Demo crats take no-stock in the predic tions. Now "and then one will find a weak-kneed democrat who offers to wager that the majority of the dominant party in the State will be cut to 25,000 but. the buoyant pre dictions run it up to 75,000. Hon. A. D; Watts, the wisest pre dictor the state has had in 25 .years smiles when he is asked if the re publicans have a chance. That is as far as he goes when most enthus iastic over an outlook A smile from Colonel Watts amounts to as much as a hurrah, and the flourish of a banner from the average citi zen. Therefore, it is safe to say thai Colonel Watts does not believe that North Carolina is on the verge of a Republican landslide. ' Farmer Mob Doughton, who is also wise and close-mouthed, thinks that the talk of the Republican victory in North Carolina is nothing more nor less than an effort of Republi cans to get funds for a politcal joy ride next fall. Thomas D. Warren, State chair man of the Democratic party; Col. A. D. Watts, Senator Simmons, and other prominent party workers have conferred here within the last few days, and they agree that the out look is very bright if the Demo crats will keep up their interest and vote and see that the doubtful men of the neighborhood vate with them. It was stated some days ago in republican circles that $50,000 or more would go to the State for the campaign, and Democrats believe that the sum will be even larger, if the present talk of Republican vic tory is taken seriously. There is no question about a large 'slush fund if the national leaders can be made to feel that it would help to win votes in the senate and house. Republican newspaper men in Washington have been led to be lieve, that John M. Morehead of Charlotte will defeat Senator Sim mons. Those conversant with the situation are not impressed by such a claim. Democratic leaders say that the State is in better shape this year Have you Seen ? 1 ji 5 iSjjp" 5 than ever before since the red-?i-t campaign.- The war has had much to do with the present state of affairs in Xorth Carolina. The people have olet confidence in the President an "do not care to play politics at this' cri tical time. Washington Co. Char lotte Observer. The End of the U-Boat. (Scientific American) The situation in the submarine warfare today is this: that cur scientists and engineers, as a result of patient investigation, have devh means for killing the submarine which are so efficient that, if suffil cient numbers of boats can be found on which to emplace them, subma rine piarcy will be practically sniff ed means for killing the submarine, rine piarcy will be practically snuff - The Same. (Charleston News and Courier.) The War Department; which has placed more than half a million American troops in France, is the same War Department which we were told sometime ago had practic ally ceased to function. Getting First Lessons. . Y. M. C. A. war work secretaries are teaching thousands of enlisted men the English- language. These men jn many cases do not even un derstand the commands.
