SLOGAN: "EVERY ONE AFTERNOON, DAILY GIVEN AS CALLED HOOVER-WBLBER PARTNERSHIP (By UNITED PRESS) Washington, 24. The Hoover Wilbur combination is at work again, this time in the itnerests of the nation's welfare. Way back in the '80s Ray Ly man Wilbur was a dignified sen ior in Leland Stanford Univer sity, at the same time that Herbert C. Hoover, then a big, gaAvky, mining student, wras a junior. Both students were earning their own way -through school, and incident ally .just "about running the school at, the same time, according to re ports. Hoover got himself elect ed financial manager of all ath letics, with a small salary for his Avork, and thus added to his small income. i This was one time when con trasts did not draw to each other. Neither man was brilliant and flashy both had to dig for what they got, and neither had time to go in for the fraternity crowds. Unconsciously they formed a si lent partnership based upon ab solute trust and confidence in each other. Clear down through all the years since the two students were graduated this partnership has continued, sometimes separat ed by half the distance around the earth. Letters were regular and often. When Dr. Wilbur was elected president of his old university, Leland Stanford, he called his partner, then away over in Eng land, and had him elected to the board of directors. And so they ran the university. Now Herbert C. Hoover, food administrator of the United States has reversed the case and called his old partner to his assistance. Dr. Wilbur is to head the food conservation department, while Hoovter heads the food control department. Thus continues the friendship, never a question when the other calls, each ready to give up every thing to go to the other, with not a thought of material gain, far more than thirty years without a strain or friction.

The war department has prepared for any draft riots. , Every step has been taken to check any disturbance on the day men are summoned for examina tion.

TELEGRAPH SERVICE PI LAN TO CLEM TIE RUSSIAN KERENSKY AT FRONT EXPECTED TO MAKE STRENUOUS REGULATIONS AND FOREVER STAMP OUT SE DITION AND CONSPI RACY IN THE ARMY. TO ELIMINATE GERMAN PROPAGANDA NEWS FROM STATE CAPITOL (By Maxwell Gorman.) Raleigh, July24. On the part of the young men whose numbers . have been called in the selective draft there ought to be a rush this week to get into some North Car-: jolina regiment, even it the home' companies ranks are full. Unless a ruling of the war department, just announced, those drawn fo'r service in the draft can still volunteer up to the. .time, they are individually notified to appear be fore the local exemption board. Those who fail to do this will probably be assigned to regiments of other states. It ought to be worth while to any true North Carolinaian to take advantage of the opportunity to touch elbows with friends and i kindred while ,on the French front of battle, instead of serving among personal strangers. That is why I am telling him this and adding that he needs to be in a hurry about it or it will be too late. At this writing there are several batteries of Colonel Cox's new artillery regiment (which has had only a week to recruit and organize) not yet quite up to full strength. Attach yourself to it right now or to some other Tarheel units and feel at home even at the training camp and on i the battle field. - NIGHT RAIDS WERE EFFECTIVE London, July 24.

I ALLIES MUST HELP RUSSIA (By United Press.) New York, July 24. " Allied countries, especially the United States, fighting with Russia, for the common cause, must help Russia immediately.

NUMBER 64. l BY UNIT FD PRESS) j Petrograd, July 24. "We ;;re , seeking to defend the state ! against anarchy and sa? the army. The nobility ought ito take . advantage of the present situa I tion and effect a resorted eondi ' tion like that before the situa tion "said Kerenckv. Petrograd, July 24. Russia will shoot down as traitors milti- . . in jut cmes. inus tne new cabinet prepared today to invoke measures of hhmdshed to stop the rout of the southwest army and to clean out the nest of Ger man prov'ocators 'now scattered through the nation. Premier Kerensky is arriving at the front today and is expected to order the local troops, without mercy, to shoot down their fellow soldiers who yielded to the Ger man progapanda and started the muntiny proclamation, declaring all who disobey the nrovisional i government's battle orders to be regarded as traitors and cowards, and must be shown no mercy, j . This is the text of the orders j that will be issued today for the purpose of stopping the rout of the soldiers, and also the insidious I influence of German spy system I which has heretofore had a dc i trimentaJ effect upon the whole nation. Petrograd is hoping that Ker ensky will again perform mira cles at the front. The existence of a huge Ger man plot to overthrow the demo cracy by counter revolution has been definitely proved today in the wholesale arrests in the capi tal.
