THE GASTONIA GAZETTE. FRIDAY, JULY IS, 191 V. r . CUBA AROUSED OVER SELECTIVE DRAFT PLLV (By International :Xewa Service.),, HAVANA, OL'bA, July 11. vuoa ;a bow experiencing the same discussion . nd problems over obligatory military ; service that the United States, had prior to the passage of the recent ' -aervice laws in Washington. The '' Cuban' Congress is now in session and while the leaders of both bouses do not agree on the form in whitu t uba l military law should be enacted or tb extent Of the selective dralt, never theless it is prooable that a bin en. bodying the same fea Puree as that In the United States will be paassed In a few days. President Menoeal has requested i . Congress for a sweeping selective draft law which will exejupt noue from its workings. Other leaders be lieve that this is going too far in this country at this time. The work ing of the United Mates law is being watched with great interest here and througboutthe island, li is estimated that from the available eligible popu lation in Cuba an army of 100, 0U0 men fully equipped could be raised epeedly and with slight lnconven lence, should the necessity arise. The attitude of the administration . toward the pending measure is well expressed by Dr. Hicardo Doiz, leader ot the"Cbnservative party and Presi dent of the Cuban Senate, who said to-day: "1 cannot ihink of any reson why the Conservative party should not lend its support to the President o the republic to implant the obligatory military service. This is a duty im pose by the Constitution on every , Cuban citizen, and, therefore, we may diacuss the details of this service but ' not Its principle, as it would ie against the Constitution to do so ' Futhermore, we have Lhe American Congress as an exanYple in passing recent legislation. During a state of war the President is principally re- - sponsible for the security of the na Hon, and Congress should accept all " recommendations from the Executive v under these circumstances, and no ob- " structions should be put in his way ; in times in which the country is in a state of war. : , "Congress, in my opinion, should rrsnt ungrudgingly all requests from v the Executive. v In answer to the charge by certain opponents of the measure that inter ests of education in Cuba would suf- ; ; ter through, a universal draft meas nre. Dr. Gabriel Casuso, head of the University of Havana, asserted: "I do not believe that the obligato , ry military service will cause any damage. I speak, of course, thinking of the students at the university. On . tbe contrary, I think the service will ... ' be beneficial, as the university stud ents would expand the faculties in the" service of their country and would form a strong nucleus to di- : rect the movement. - "The hands of the Government -' should be left free to act at this time, . and all citizens should obey orders .:-.- "I have always advocated physical r culture at the university, and even recommended that they take military . exercises. My contention has been i proved by the fact that in the last uprising it was the students who gave ' the better service to their country. We have gone into this war to strengthen our ties with the United States. Germany is far away, it true, but we must prepare ourselves for all emergencies." DECLARES WASHINGTON' t SHOULD RUX SCHOOIJS. 1 (By International News Service.) PORTLAND. ORE., July 12.

Mr. Editor: To prevent you from copying a grossly inaccurate state ment, published in the "Dallas Cur rent" last week, that two negroes had been poisoned at this place, one of whom died Tuesday morning, your correspondent has concluded to emerge from his seclusion and enter the field of literature again. As a matter of fact only one negro Who will asist lle,v. It. A. Taylor Fire losses last year amounted to over $2,000,000 in this State and, with the proper precaution, half of the amount could have been saved according to a report made by Col. James R. Young, State insurance commissioner. Over $100,000 of the losses were foodstuff. It Is the pur pose of Mr. Young; to send circulars to manufacturing plants with plans of thorough inspection and In this way and by lectures he hopes to re duce the meant of fire destruction. Mr. Young and an expert fire fighter and .fireman are available and can be secured by any town that would like to know more about fire prevention and how to fight fire. ; . THE EIGHTIES died here during the year and he showed no symptoms of poison. Dr. Toland, our resident physician at tended him at first and later on ne was visited by Dr. Hunter, of Mount Holly. Both these gentlemen pro nounced his case heart disease. His death occurred on or about tbe dale u.entioned by the "Current," and it is more than probable that the fiction published by that paper was based or his death. McAdenville is a moral town. We ne.'ther poison pegroes or encourage vice. On the other hand the author ities here do everything to put down immorality and force good behavior. Only last week a man named Huffstet ler was arrested for selling liquor within the corporate limits, tried be fore Squire B. T. McAden and start ed to Jail. Through the carelessness of the man who had him in cliarge he succeeded in escaping but wiil doubtless be captured and given tne full penalty of the law. Mr. Edward M.

JULY IS, Need of a Universal Sys tem of Physical Education By Dr. DUDLEY A. SARGENT, Harvard University A MAN today has to give his health to his occupation and trust to other means to keep up his physical vigor. IS IT AN1 WONDER THAT 75 PER CENT OF OUR YOUNG MEN ARE UN FIT FOR MILITARY SERVICE? Civilization and athletics go hand in hand, and I see great danger in present conditions here. The Greeks' political decline fol lowed when they ceased to train and hired others to fight for their amuse ment. Self defense has become a "lost art" today. The problem is how to maintain general interest and to prevent over epecialization and professionalism. We must give an incentive to activi ty to offset the deleterious effects of modern life. What we need is a universal sys tem of physical education. In advocating universal physical service I am ready to go to the length of having it enforced, just as is military conscrinrtion. Unless we keep up. our physical standard our civilization 'is bound to crumble. The recalling of the Greensboro city board is being agitated by many. The Gate City seems to be stirred up over some changes that were recent ly made in the management of the city affairs. However, some think It will blow over and the municipal work will go on as outlined. FltKE OF CHARGE. Any adult suffering from cougn, cold or bronchitis, is Invtted to call at the drug store of J. H.
