The weastern theatre has a r

news with the sinking of a Ger

coast by a submarine, and strange
assortment of performances by
another British undersea boat ope
rating the sea of Marmora.
This craft not only crept so close
to Constantinople as to launch tor
pedoes at lighters in the Golden
Horn, presumably awaiting mu
nitions foom the arsenal, but with
its gans bombarded and for a time
tied up the railway skirting the
Asiatic coast, delaying a troop
train and causing havoc among the
ammunition stores. In addition,
the submarine considerably dam
aged Turkish shipping and sunk
one. craft believed to be"a gunboat.
Announcements in the duma at
Petrograd and by the Russian am
bassador at London indicate that
Russia and England are anxious to
brand as unfounded the recurrent
reports that the Russian - people
are disgruntled at the showing
Great Britian and France have
made in the west, which might
create a situation unfavorable to
the continued unity of the allies.
No hint of a separate peac& or
of dissatisfaction with England's
policy comes from any authoritive
source, and Count Benckendbrf
made it plain that, while there may
have been some sentimental popu
lar feeling in his country for a di
version in the west to relieve the
strain in Russia, there had been
no critism f rom those who under-
i stood the military situation.

Letter From Col. Lewis.
Messrs. Editors:
I read in your valuable paper
an account of a meeting of your
business men and farmers of Per
son County. I was very much
gratified to see so manyv business
men and farmers mingling togeth
er for the interest and welfare of
old Person County. When congen
iality exists between one another
we will have a County all of us
will be proud of, and I feel all
will work for old Person.
1 think well of Mr. Hunter's
communication, as we all know he
is a man of energy and push. Now
comes the Hon. Joe H. Carver
and his secretary who has charge
of the coming FamJoe4s a wheel
horse and don't know failure-on-ly
when any fighting is to be done
he's out of town, and the secre
tary and banker takes his place.
Now, iet'a stand by the fair and
help to make it a success, let us
fight a mighty battle for old Per
son and make her what she ought
to be. If any prejudice exist any
where m the County let us go to
God and ask forgiveness and don't
let us divide the house of Isreal.
I am delighted to see so many
working and saying so may nice
things about old Person. I am
sure we will forge ahead and meet
with other towns and counties.
While they are working hard,
still, we have the brains and re
sources and can be equal if not
better than any county in the
state. That is enough for this
time
t Our market is selling" .primings
yet and no stipulated price, doing
very well for primings. Will
write later.

Individuals and Typhoid.
"When a person dies from ty
phoid fever these days it seems
to me it's more or less a plain
case of suicide, " said a citizen of
Paleigh recently. "Especially
sp, ' ' he continued, 'in the face
of all this anti-typhoid treatment
that is being put before the peo
ple. I can't see why every per
son in the State doesn't avail
himself of this opportunity to be
come immune to typhoid fever
even though it hasn't been offer
ed to every citizen free of charge.
The State is doing all it can to
get it to all the people practically
without cost, but that's not the
trouble. The people won't take it,
free or not free. Why, right here
in Raleigh where it has been of
fered free for every day in the
week for four weeks, not half
the people have taken it not
more than one-fourth have tak
en it. , ;
"Of course, I don't mean that
when a person dies from typhoid
that he prefers death to life but
that he is responsible to the ex
tent of his neglect or his indiffer
ence and ignorance. There may
also be a community responsibili
ity ' that' insanitary conditions
were allowed to exist asthei
source of fever but when such a
preventive as this vaccine is put
up to individuals, I do say theyj-
are to a great extent responsime
