MORE 8PEEDI ' w J v While three-fourths of the time al"-' otted for the Liberty loan campaign has passed, hardly two-thirds of the minimum amount desired has been subscribed, and It Is going to take a tremendous drive during the balance of the time if the amount hoped, for is secured. i :t Bonds can be issued beyond the ac tual amouht eet as a minimum and It may be desirable that they should be issued to prepare for future needs and lessen the next demand. This depends upon clrcumstancesi to be easily understood. Five billion has been mentioned as a limit to sub pcriptions which the government would be glad to secure. Then it could fix the volume to be? issued with in that limit according to the cir cumstances and the actual need for the funds. For instance, it is desirable to have the bonds as widely diffused as pos sible emong the people, which means the issue of a large volume of the lower denominations and in the lim ited quantities for subscribers. This would result in a larger measure in drawing upon actual savings not need ed for other uses and encouraging thrift, and less from profits or in come that need to be reinvested as Kiapjlfcal for increased production of things in great demand for support ing the same activities antf opera tions that the money Is borrowed for. Small savings for the future, gather ed into a large aggregate, would not only be serving a useful purpose for the country, but would be secure for the future while gathering a fair rate of interest for such savingB. So there should be no letup in ac tivity but an increase of speed on the home stretch for subscriptinos, so as to get as large a proportion of the people as possible in the differ ent sections of the country interested in the loan and the object for which It is raised. There is no danger of going too far beyond the nominal goal, which is a minimum, for the surplus will be distributed more largely among the small subscribers and draw less upon, active capital. The financial institutions are generally do ing all they can to promote invest ment, which will not be their own or for their profit, and no doubt they would be ready to make up a deficit from their own funds if necessary. It is desirable that it should not be necessary. The loan should as far as is possible be popular in the broad sense of being in the hands of the people as well as in high estimation. SCHWAB BEGINS. There has been -no appointment by the government in connection with its war activities that has met with as much general approval as has the naming of Charles M. Schwab as di rector of the Emergency Fleet Cor poration. There is ample ground for the belief that thines will move along in shipbuilding circles from now on in a manner that will accom plish great things for the nation in its effort to provide bottoms so es sential to successfully prosecuting the war. The following from The New York Sun is typical of the fealins throughout the nation: "Mr. Schwab.- director eeneral of the Emeregency ' Fleet Corporation, has little time for talk but ample time to .Act. "He wanted to establish the head quarters of the corporation In Phil adelphia. He wasted no hours in con versation. His decision reached, he went to Philadelphia and looked at the building he had in mind to. house his aids. He spent all of ten min utes inspecting it. Then he said to its owners: " 'The Fleet Corporation will take your nine upper floors.' '"Wtththat Mr. Schwab departed. The owner and occupant of the build ing recovered from the shock suffici ently to repel yiose who offered sym-. pathy to him on his unceremonious eviction: "'Hard luck? Not on your life: That's the way to do things. I'm for Schwab every minute, and we'll get out and give him the floor space as fast as we can. He'll build ships, and that's what we want.' "There was every opportunity for long drawn, out negotiations, for mis understandings, for quarrels, in this transaction. The questions of rent, responsibility for damages, repairs, the period of the lease -all might have contributed to delaying the gov-, ernment in taking possession eft the quarters it heeds. But these can be adjusted later; " the important thing is to get the offices open, to move in due time, and neither government nor owner is likely to, suffer from . the postponement. A fair trade will be aranged, and while it is being work ed out Mr. Schwab will be doing something of supremely greater cop.r cern" to7the country" than the settle ment of its term s. "The man who knows what the government wants and fakes 'it wjiere he finds it Is the man, to build ihlpa. J WITH THEED!TQR54 Charlotte ; Observer: The doctor in modern warfare is expected not only to beta soldier, 'but to perform "the duties of a soldier. His place is not in the "Tear of the lines, as was the custom in the Civil War, but at the front and even on the fighting line. He is both surgeon and soldier. Dr. Gorgas has carried his idea a step further and makes requirement that; every member of the Medical Reserve Corps of the army must be physically fit for active service. A press dis patch indicates that quite a number of doctors who have been accepted will not be able to pass the test, it being estimated that as many as 1,500 commissions will have to be re voked when this latest order by the surgeon general becomes effective. Hickory Record: The; entrance of Judge W. B. Council in the race for Congress from the Ninth district gives the Democratic voters an opportunity to cast their ballots for a man who will stand up for American rights and ideals without the necessity of being bombarded with telegrams urg ing him to do the right thing. He won't be afraid to do right. . While Mr. Webb has stood by the administration since the declaration of war, it is known that his heart was wrong from the start and, though a representative of the American government, he seemed apologetic in thft faco of the need for, strength. Mr. Webb has done many fine things In Congress, but he made mistakes that will cause thousands of Demo crats to reject him if they have an opportunity to vote for somebody eiae. Judge Council gives the Democrats of the district this opportunity. The Record hopes he will be nominated. Durham Herald: Laboring men the country, over are not likely to be so foolish 'that they will take with any degree of seriousness the suggestion of the Seattle unions that a general strike be called for May 1 and kept on until Thomas Mooney, under death sentence for planting a bomb in a preparedness parade in San Francisco is released. The only thing which lends color to the suggestion that there is a possibility of such a thing Is the very strong appeal which President Samuel Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor,- makes to the laboring man, not to think of striking at this time. Mooney may not be guilty, but a jury returned a verdict against him, despite the efforts of as brainy law yers and a fight for his freedom which will go down in the history of Cali fornia, as one of the hardest. If he is not guilty these attorneys have the opportunity to present additional evi dence, and to get a re-opening of their case. 'If he 5 guilty, then the sentence should stand. No effort of labor should be .unade -to., coerce the courts for once it is found that can be done the Judicial system will become- worth less. . & STATE NEWS I 4 4, a Mr. J. B. Underwood, posmaser of Fayetteville, and one of the city's leading citizens, died at 'his home on Rowan street Sunday morning after a sickness of several months, but the acute stage did not develop until a few weeks ago. He was a man of suDerb Dhysiuue. and his death in the prime of life is the more distressing to his friends. Mr. Underwood, who was 48" years of ase. was prominent in public life from early manhood, and ; served well He was, until he became postmaster of this citv. a member of the State Democratic Executive Committee. He was a district delegate to the Balti more convention in 1912 whlcn nomi nated Woodrow Wilson for Presi dent. He was Senator Simmons manager for this congressional dis trict in the Slmmons-Kitcnin cam paign and was always an ardent ad mirer and consistent supporter of Senator Simmons. Mr. Underwood was, an able political leader and wield ed a biK influence, not only in nis own district, but, all over the State, being popular ana., wen HKea; every where. He was appointed postmaster of Favetteville bv President Wilson in 1915 to succeed tne late ju a. naie Fayetteville Observer. When Charlie Chaplin, the famous movie star, was in this vicinity sev eral weeks ago, speaking in the inter est of the Third Liberty Loan cam paign, a handbag belonging to him mysteriously disappeared somewhere between. Greensboro and Charlotte The matter was kept quiet and no publicity was given it. However, offi- cars were- notified and sleuths up and down the line at once, went to work on the case. Among these was Chief of Police J. Frank Miller, of Salisbury, and he assisted . materially in the search with the result that the handbag was found Saturday at Spencer, and it is said it "was lying in a lot. The handbag contained some valuable papers, and there is a hint , that some of these were gov ernment papers; trait or tne contents of the bag were recovered along witn tne Dag our some oi jtnem are still unaccounted ror. saiisDury POSt. ' ... v R.

THE screen life of Kenneth Har lan seems to be protected by some potent spell. More than six months ago Kenneth was placed in the draft and was given a seat way up front in section A, No. 1. It was while he was supporting- Mae Murray, under Robert Leonard's di rection. Leonard hurried that pro duction as he has hurried no other since he began to direct pictures. It was a race to beat the draft. Leon ard won. And then nothing hap pened. They did not need Harlan right away. He was cast for "The Wine Girl." in support of Carmel Myers. Again there was the danger that he would be called. More hurry.

(Incorporated) Connie Mack seems to have shifted his tactics. Instead of kidnapping collegians and sand' lotters for the Athletics it looks as if Connie was depending upon the pension bureau to supply him with pastimers. When the picture was finished it was announced ' that Harlan was called. Came a flood of mingled sym pathy and admiration from a host of female admirers. Kenneth was ready and willing, but still the call was delayed. He reported to Henry Mc Rae, manager of Universal City that he was still available. So he was cast in support of Carmel Myers in her next picture, "The Marriage Lie." And that's not all, either. The busy Mr. Harlan has been engaged to sup port Mary MacLaren in her next pic ture, which has been provisionally called "A Man's World." Now the whole of Universal City is anxious to know by what favoritism Harlan is permitted to serve Uncle Sam on the screen instead of in the trenches. -:o:- WE TOLD YOU SO. One of the hardest things in life is to refrain from saying "I told you so." We lack that restraint. Some time ago when we spoke of "Tarzan of the Apes" we made the observa tion that with the material in hand the company which produced it? would be foolish not to produce a sequel to it. Now we learn that a company has been organized to film a sequel, and is only waiting until such time as Elmo Lincoln shall have finished his work at Universal City, where he played an important role in Rupert Julian's "The Kaiser, the Beast of Berlin." Two other books in the series are "Tarzan's Son" and Tar zan's Return." PUZZLE ALL IN THE FAMILY. Rumor doth aver that the beauteous Pauline Frederick is no longer to be a Paramount star. Substance is given to the report by negotiations which are under way whereby Willard Mack may take charge of Goldwin's scena rio department in the old Universal studio at Fort Lee.
