You can't measure up to duty by be ing low-down. al sign that the American; government is not asleep; that it is preparing for whatever eventualities may come, and that it is taking. nbthing for granted, but preparing for the worst, while hopingfor the best. This is not only a gratifying conclusion, but an en couraging one. The fact that America will have access to the Brftish records will be of great assistance, and will save much money and, perhaps, loss of life. It will mean that the United s uuuuu , YEAR AG6 TODAY iN'WAR It is something, real worth -while.. It .'' 3- is something that is "entertaining in its Mar 29. 1916 Gen.

Avocourt wood; Greece protested, to Germany England women were laboring in inr dustries, working from early until late, in factories, toiling over books in of fices and even filling v every sphere of manual labor. Yet this was not all. As well as laboring with hands and hearts, women had given to their coun try great ideas. Their brains had worked, and this work came not from excitement, but from calm delibera tion; from intellect that was sound, that had studied the grave questions States will have the advantage of and that gave good reason, for sug what England had to obtain not alone gestions. No woncer England awakens by the expenditure of an immense .at" this moment to find that the corn amount of money but by sacrificing : radeship of woman in government is many lives.

The British seem bent on ; chewing up the Turkey wing. Sometimes a fellow gets stuck on a girl only to get Stuck. Germany with her submarines is try ing to drown her troubles. America seems to have plenty long-green, but a food shortage. of Of course, when war comes every one will go but some the other way. The Germans in the west seem to have started a back home movement. Better be glad you are not a centi pede during these days of the high price of shoes. Plant more foodstuffs and the farm er will be able to plant more money for the rainy day. it will also help this country. There is another indication in this news from London. -It is that the United States is going on and on to ward the tragic climax; that there has been no tarrying on the way, and that the thing that can alone avert a final clash will be abandonment of "unre stricted submarine" warfare by Ger many. Tnis abandonment wm nave to come both by words and deeds. Some there are who seem to think that in the last analysis, should Ger many perceive that the temper.of the American Congress is not to delay, but to meet the gjave situation face-to-face, it will recede from its position, es pecially as its submarine warfare so far has not proven as successful as the world feared and Germany and her allies thought it-would (a bluff over such matter could., not avail) and an indication of this is accepted by some i in declarations from German sources that it is not in the submarine, but in the army that Germany places her faith to win the war; that the army will Win it. The theory of the army winning the war will not be generally accepted; Germany may, without con fessing it, hope that the army can re treat and thus shorten the front and, ihate the womanly woman from suf frage. The remedy is to eliminate con ditions; not to make human beings ubservient to evil, but mankind- and womankind superior. It is a great and glorious light that has broken in upon the English Premier, of today and the English Premier of yesterday. May its efful gence spread. WILL CARRY THE VISION TO THEM. The Dispatch joins the rejoicing that Major Charles M. Stedman, Represent ative from the Fifth North Carolina, has consented to journey to Boston to make a speech. We rejoice especially because it will give the staid folks of the metropolis of Massachusetts chance of seeing one of the grim old warriors or tne soutn in action, n will bear to them a great lesson, and t will reflect glory upon the Old North State. As he is courtly of appearance, charming of personality, logical and elo quent, Bostonese will catch a new vision of the old south in the address of Major Stedman and they will have the spirit of the new south true o Sanitary Science Reverses Records of Past Wars In the Army. One of the wonders of the Euro pean war has been the health of the men at the front. As a matter of fact, the advance made! in the science of disease prevention during this war has reversed the records of past wars. Despite the horrors of trench life and war conditions, the death rate of the British and French sol diers from sickness has been as - low as 3 per thousand, as compared with 5 per thousand among males of mili tary age in times of peace. It is re membered in this connection that the army consists of picked men, that there is no illness and deaths due to conditions such as bad hearts, etc., but even this fact does not account for the good health of the soldiers un der war conditions. There is a reason, however, and in the main it is because each officer and each man is required to be a sanitarian. For example, if an order demanding cleanliness in the trenches be issued it is sent from officer to man, and each is required to see that his particular "dugout" or section of trench is kept clean. Thus, each in dividual keeps ' his section clean, and the whole army area is kept clean. In France the station bath house, plays an important role in the pre vention of diseases, particularly ty phoid fever. When a battallion comes out of the trenches after perhaps a two weeks stay, it is dirty or in- fected with lice. The soldiers are: marched in squads to the bath house : anr nrp eiven so many minutes to cH0-i-VSsS is! e 'Bels-lf fSufcEti" g Drops Make Com ""Fall" Off!

It is the one chance Germany has of placing herrenemies on her level, cutting them )ff from supplies.

Finding life dull in Florida, Roose velt might challenge Governor Catts to a game of ping-pong, without gloves. Colonel Bryan is telling the new Con gress ho wit should act. Woodrow Wilson, however, will tell it how it must act. ' as they wont be able to get anything Stronger to drink. : The human race is exceeding the speed limit in some respects and mere ly crawling along in others. What's needed is equalization. Why wonder that Kurnel Roosevelt is down in Florida hunting the devil fish? He is probably getting in prac tice for hunting the submarine. Even Philadelphia is feeling the pro hibition pressure, but while rye and corn may be tabooed, we suppose .Quaker Oats will live on forever. How such a foolish rumor as Roose velt having been drowned could ever have started is hard to comprehend. Roosevelt is always at home when in the swim. England, which has oft' jailed the suffragettes, has awakened to the fact that women are entitled to equal suf frage and not merely equal suffering. Congratulations to Mrs. Emm Pank-hurst.

The German armies are still strong, they still possess powerful equipment and will make some gains. They will be heard from, but have they enough to counter-balance the same sinews of war on the other side, especially when they are cut off from the outside orld? REASON SPREADS. The declaration by Lloyd-George in the House of Commons yesterday, in approval of the recommendation by former Premier Asquith of woman suf frage, is not so much a tribute to wo man as it is a tribute to enlighten- cf the energy of today, before them n the appearance of Major Stedman a warrior of old, honored by his people of the present. And, peculiarly fine on account of th ime, there will be something greater in Major Stedman facing a Boston au dience. The New Englanders will learn direct of the great patriotism of the south, will see it in action; will be hold the strength, the fire, the glory of the re-united country in this great representative of the Confederate hosts; they will hear patriotism exalt ed and listen to re-affirmation, as it were, of the allegiance of the south, from the lips of one who faced the cannon's mouth and charged the ram part, glistering with the cruel points of bayonets, with Lee and Jackson. If any they be in far away Boston who. slumbered when the south poured out the first blood in defense of the re united country during the Spanish-Am erican war, or failed to take into ac count the sacrifices southerners so fervently offer at this day in behalf of their country, they will catch the vision when this grand old warrior stands before them. -They" will catch inspiration and, aftei they have sat under the spell of his oratory, the men and women who heard him, will go forth stronger in devotion of coun try and with the fires of patriotism burning brighter to the glory of the re-united country. laruy.
