Itelgians Repubw Attempt of German. London, Oct. 28. Belgian troops today repulsed an effort of the Ger man troops to advance , south of Fonen south of Valenciennes, Field Marshal Halg reports. A great many Germans were killed in the street fighting. Oa the border of Mormel forest south ot Valenciennes and north of the Raismes forest north of Citizens of North Carolina, in com- linon with other Americans, are called upon to engage in the merciful work of providing material for the manu facture of gas-mask carbon. You can help, and you will. The indecent and cruel introduc tion of poison gas into warfare by the German enemy, not by ourselves or our allies makes it necessary for every soldier at the front to carry a gas mask for instant use. ' Other wise there Is imminent danger of protracted suffering or a horrible death. The carbon must be of the first quality. The materials needed for the manufacture of gas-mask carbon are as follows: Peach and apricot stones, date seeds, prune and olive seeds, cherry pit (if native), plum pits and the shells of Brazil nuts, hickory nuts, walnuts, and butter nuts. It is not necessary to extract the kernels from peach stones or other fruit seeds. These materials may be new or old (not decayed). In all cases they must be dry. The va rious kinds of material need not be kept separate, but must be dry. IJ they are not dry today, you have only to put the sun to work on them. It Is suggested (1) (hat yon search your homes and premises for last year's hickory nuts, walnuts, dry peach stones, and other gas-defense materials, (2) that you promptly and regularly save such material when ever fruits and nuts are used, (3) that you organize parties to gather this year's crop of nuts and keep a record of the amountscollected. Be gin at once an honorable rivalry in his patriotic work. You will not allow German gas to stop your sol diers; you will not even keep the army waiting. A large supply is needed at once. The shipment of the materials has been put in charge of the Red Cross, which already has facilities for the handling of supplies. Collection of the material is entrusted to you in the belief that you will be glad to help. You. cn be gas-defense sol diers even without uniforms or officers. Yours very truly, NORTH CAROLINA COUNCIL " " ' OF DEFENSE. Wilson has a "Liberty Barrel" for the collection of stones. This stays in front of Oettinger's store day and night. Drop your stones and nut shells in this barrel and help defeat the Hun. v ) GERMAN mm System Count Ludendorff Has Resigned. Lloyd George , and Balfour in France m CONSIDERING ARMISTICE London, Oct. 28. The German Reichstag by a great majority has adopted a bill placing the military command under control Of the civil government, according to an Ex change Telegraph dispatch from Copenhagen. London, Oct. 28. It is under stood in authoritative quarters that the allied governments will not re veal their armistice terms until Ger many has replied to President Wil son's last note. Premier Lloyd George and Foreign Secretary Balfour accompanied by naval and military officers, have gone to France, and are with House and Benson from America. A crash has come in the personnel of the German high command. Gen eral Ludendorff reputed to be the, brains of the German army the man who promised the Germans he would crush Great Britain and France before the United States could get under way In a military sense has resigned his position as first quartermaster general and Em peror William has accepted his res ignation. General Ludendorff was reported to have been the originator of the plan of the German offensive of 1918. The plan called for offensive operations on the western front which would split the British and French armies. and compel the allies to beg for peace before the strength of the American army could be avail able to any great extent. It was planned that if the offensive failed then Germany would resort to a dip lomatic campaign in orde rto obtain peace. Since the death of the German of fensive and the successful offensive of Marshal Foch, reports from Germany have been to the effect that Ludendorff and Von Hindenburg were losing their popularity in Ger many, both because peace did not result from the German attacks and because of the heavy casualties suf fered by the Germans. As first quartermaster general, General Ludendorff was responsible for the official Statements issued from German general headquarters. He is the man who has explained to the German people how the German troops during the last three months have carried out "strategic with drawals." Simultaneously, while the Ger man line continues to crumble un der the allied attacks and the Ger man border is slowly but gradually being approached by Germany's foes, comes a report that the Reich stag by a large majority has passed a bill placing the military command under the control of the civil govern ment. On the western battle front the British, French and Americans have continued to make further slight gains against the Germans; in the Italian theatre bolh the British and Italians have scored successes, while in Asiatic Turkey the British have captured Aleppo in Syria and are driving ahead on bothAanks of the Tigris in Mesopotamia, with the Turks unable to check them. The fall of 'Aleppo and the continued advance up the Tigris are moves of such strategic value that it is not unlikely Turkish opposition shortly will be entirely overcome both In the Holy Land and Mesopotamia.

Buy War Savings Stamps. Washington, D. C, Oct. 28 "The resolute spirit of the people at large requires a whole-hearted suport of the Administration." The foregoing is the keynote of a strong article in the September issue of The Forum. Written by Homer S. Cummings, Vice-Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, this article tends to put the fall Congressional campaign on a patri otic, rather than a political basis. Mr. Cummings says, in part: "There is a sound basis for the belief that the Democratic party will be successful in the coming Con gressional campaign. Events seem to have made such a result inevitable. The leaders of the Republican party, being quite aware of this situation, have sought to forestall it by urg ing that it would be better for the country to elect a Congress adverse to the Administration, than , to choose one In harmony with it. "The mere fact that such a sug gestion is seriously made is an indi cation of extreme poverty of inven tion, and a proof of the hopeless plight in which the Republican party finds itself. "Manifestly the overwhelming business of America is to win the war. This is a purpose of which all other considerations are subordi nate. The outstanding fact is that President Wilson is not only Presi dent of the United -States and Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, but he is the leader of his party, and is at the bead of an ad ministration which is actually con ducting the war, and conducting it with success. The fundamental dif ficulty which the Republicans con front grows out of the attempt to justify a distinction between sup port of the President and such lim ited support of 1 the Presideut for war purposes only, as the Republican leaders, in their wisdom think proper. "To persuade a majority of the American people that it is wis to make such a distinction will require more plausibility than the Republi can leaders possess. It is a program which counsels domestic and politi cal confusion during a period of war It is pregnant with opportunities for political 'sniping' and can serve no purpose of patriotism. The reso lute spirit of the people at large re quires a whole-hearted support of the Administration. Any attempt to equivocate or to draw tine distinc tions can lead only to the discom fiture of the person or the party making the attempt. The great mass of people believe in the President and propose to stand by him. "Surely the Administration would be in a belter position to devote its energies to the problems of the war ilf supported, in Congress, by those! who have confidence in it. rather than ; by those who, openly or covertly, seek to take advantage of it. Our President has become the leading figure in the affairs of the world, his Influence was never greater than it is today, his words carry into ev ery quarter of the globe and the statesmen of the allied governments have accepted his leadership. It would be a sorry commentary upon popular government if the results in November should impair, in the least degree, the influence of that il lustrous and commanding figure. The Processes of Peace. "Neither has the Republican party as an organization, in any wise, purged itself of its ancient vices or made itself a trustworthy vehicle for the expression of the best thought of the American people. It is still narrow, partisan and provincial. It has neither fully grasped the signifi cance of the democratic ideal nor evinced ariy adequate appreciation of the greatness or destiny of America. Who WU1 Be Leaders? "Our purposes are not limited by Washington, Oct. 2S. Secretary Tumulty last night made public a letter he has written at President Wilson's direction to the Cuyahoga county Republican committee at Cleveland, Ohio, in which he replies to protests against President Wil son's appeal to the country to re turn a Democratic Congress by re calling quotations from utterances by Colonel Roosevelt, former President Harrison, Senators Lodge and Pen rose and former Senator Foraker In the campaign of 1898 at the close of the Spanish War. The Cuyahoga committee tele graphed the White House, taking is sue with the President's statement. Secretary Tumulty, writing at the President's direction, simply com mended the statements he quoted and also various editorial appearing at the time in leading Republican news papers to the committee's considera tion without comment. Th first quotations was from Colo nel Roosevelt, identified as Republi can candidate for Goven or of New York, in 1898: "Remember that, whether yon will it or not, your' votes this year will be viewed by the nations of Ea rope from one standpoint only. A re fusal to sustain the President this year will, in their eyes, be read as a refusal to sustain the war and to sustain the efforts of your peace com mission to secure the fruits of war. Such a refusal may not inconceiv ably bring about a rupture of tbe peace negotiations. It will give heart to our defeated antagonists; it will make possible the interference of those doubtful neutral nations who in this struggle have wished ui ill." ; "You could not get the benefits of the victories of Grant and Sherman only by re-electing Lincoln and we will gain less than we ought from the war if the administration Is noi sustained at these elections." From former President Harrison, pleading for the election of a Re publican Congress: "If the word goes forth that the people of the United States are standing solidly behind the Presi dent the task of the peace commis sioners will be easy, but if there is a break in the ranks if the Demo crats score a telling victory, if Dem ocratic Senators, Congressmen and Governors are elected Spain will see in it a gleam of hope; she will take a fresh hope and a renewal or hostilities, more war may be neces sary to secure to us what we have al ready won. From Senator Lodge: "But there is one question on which I wish to say a few word and that seems to me to overridAaff "thrrs. It is whether we shall st;d by the administration and the PresV. idem at tins juncture. If we give a victory to his political opponents, Wb say to the world, we say to the. Spanish commissioners in PiiiIh that the people of the United States rcpuidate its result and repudiate the man who has led victoriously the war and is now leading us back to peace William MccKinley." From Senator Penrose: "In his recent speeches the Presi dent has appealed not a partisan but to a national spirit. He wants Pennsylvania to remain the Key stone State for the Republican par ty. It is difficult to over-estimate the supreme importance of sustaining the President of the United States and the Republican party at the present critical crisis in our foreign relations." the war. What we have accom plished thus far, both in tbe mat ter of war preparation and in do mestic reform, serve as an indication of tbe spirit with which we will gu dertalie the great problems f re construction which will follow the (Continued oa page 4) i : i 1 NT ' St - 1 A i 1 ' Vl . f S .h..L . $ ' . t
