If , the claim made yesterday -by Berlin that Germany has lost only three, submarines since the first of "Juae Is true, the Allies have small reason to feel optimistic over the U boat menace. A.. dispatch from Globe, Ariz., this morning states that the Apache In . 41ani have gone on the war path and : as a .result two mines in that vicinity are closed down. A troop of mount- ed rangers are on the trail. , f i - f imn r-i ruir ' X . - , Ld, the poor Indian. He's break ing into the game, too. With all the world around him at war it was hardly to be expected that he could keep quiet, bein' as how he's a nat ural torn fighter anyway. ' ' - That is 'Interesting gossip coming from Washington . about probable changes In President Wilson's cabi net. ' "We have no doubt that Mr. Roosevelt would accept the post of Secretary of War without the slight est hesitancy. , With Teddy on that Job there would certainly be some action in the War Department. Mr. Root la certainly one of America's ablest statesmen and would be a ost valuable man in the cabinet. - Twelve community fairs will be pulled off in Gaston county prior to the big county fair. The people are enthusiastic and it will be impossi ble to attempt to summarize the good they will bring to the communities. I is hoped thatevery person within a reasonable distance of one of these fairs will take advantage of an oppor tunity to help a good cause. Within a reasonable length oftlme the com xnnnltles will realize the benefits. 'All the peace talk in Germany has no weight with the Allies and will not affect their war plans. The more the sham' of peace, comes from Ger many the greater will be the war preparations. When confidence is .lost in an' individual or a nation all is lost. Who could believe a peace propaganda from a nation, which has lost all respect of honor? The only thing that will reach the ears of the allied countries, is .the word surren der and this must have carried with' it the laying down of arms. Every man Is given an opportun ity to present his claims for exemp tion and his failure to do so automat ically drafts him into the army as a soldier. The failure to report for military service when ordered con stitutes desertion-and - desertion in time of . war means a capital offense. The law has always been very severe on a deserter? Deserters .may be ap prehended by civil or military author ity. He will be under' a swift and nummary procedure of court martial tfier having been ordered Into ser rice. . . ; . - : ; - , Tss Cored la 6 to 14 Days '-Hi wfll rWa4 wmt if TkZO . t tell to care MT(t Itchiaf. i -. r for Protruding File ia eta Udara. . appwcsUoa gtcsMaa4 Scat. Mr. i T1 i lil I I Our honored President, in his war message to Congress, distinctly dif ferentiated between the German peo-. pie and the German autocratic gov ernment. He did not Indict a whole race because of 4 the : arrogant en croachment and crimes of Its despotic rulers. The American - people, and especially Congress should follow bis noble example. Every congressman and senator should be loyal and' if they are not, they, ought, to -forfeit their claims as representatives of 'the' American people. A few - disloyal persons will not Involve the repre sentative body, but they can delay progress, which will be remembered when the battles have been fought and won. Every disloyal American either in .public life or private advo cates autocratic government and it he will only read the President's message it will explain. BELMONT BUDGET.
