The capital $15,000 haa been subscribed, an or ganization will be "effected as soon as a charter can be secured, and the enterprise started as soon as possible.. The supply train is the thief artery for the uruiy. It carries everything that keeps the soldiers in fighting trim food, uniniunltlou and clothing. No army cun win battles without efficient supply trains. The New York national guard has or gauized one of the most complete sup ply trains ever got together In the United States. Motor trucks, wagons, hundreds of mules and horses, many kinds of equipment, ull are now being assembled to supply the state's troops when they have service in France. What is needed to complete the or ganization is about 300 patriotic, strong, experienced teamsters. The husky lads from the lumber sections or the strong muscled men who drive ca nalboat mules are the type that makes the ideal soldier for the supply train. To experienced teamsters, especially men who know about the handling of mules, the supply train offers the chance of escaping conscription, the a wager of $110.

The transport end of the service has attracted some of the best known offi cers in the American army. At the head of the New York state supply train will be Major T. Harry Shanton, a famous Wyoming plainsman, who for torship of a wife and a houseful of children: "It'll do me good to get away from them kids for awhile." All this happened at Kinston. When McDowell county reported the result of Tuesday's registration for selective draft the totals lot the State were completed and immediately wired to Provost Marshall Crowder informing him that North Carolina had registered 200.032 which Is 5.966 fifteen years has toured all over the , aDove the estimated registration. This world with transport units, Major Shanton, an Inspiring and pic turesque leader, commanded a New York supply train at the Mexican bor der last summer. The noted officer was compelled to form his organization mostly from in experienced city men. Major Shanton and his train left Mc Allen and landed at Fort Sam Houston, 830 miles away, over treacherous Tex as trails and In weather that was close to the boiling point in less than, six teen days, every man, animal and wag on in perfect condition, they drew up at total was made up of 123,69 whites, 64,700 negroes, 560 aliens, and 73 alien enemteB. Possible exemptions were put down as 133,614. So far as North Carolina is concerned this completes the registration. The next step Is the drafting into service and determining the Justice of claims for exemption which from Indications appear to be heavy. . We are at war. This fact is gradu: ally being borne In upon our conscious. ness, A state of war has existed be tween this country and Germany for longer than most of our people here will admit, but It has existed never theless, and open rupture was only avoidted by the President because only had lingering hopes that he could awake the people of Germany to a sense of their danger by means of dip lomacy, hence all the notes, and dip lomatic exchanges that bit into the souls of red blooded Americans3 all to fall in the end because of the as cendency, of the Militarist party in Germany. So wle are now actually at war. And it is going to be the blood iest war the world has ever witness ed. And it is going to hit hard in ev ery village and hamlet in America. Let us get that straight. It is going, to take our young men first then our moite Imature men, and, if neces-; erous and unclean soldSery than these on the firing line for Germany. They ane absolutely without bowels of com passion. The chivalry that dictated an armistice for the succor of the wounded has been torn to shreds by this blasted nation, and wounded now are put out of their agony by means of machine guns, which play upon every moving objlect in the no-man's land between the trenches, should any be left after an unsuccessful attack. The heart of man, outside Germany, nevter conceived such brutality as Ger many has introduced into warfare, and its destruction can only be accom plished by blood letting.

Ten million men have registered for service at the call of our Presldleni; A great many of these appear to take ccixfort in the reflection that, whoever else is called, it will not be them, ' . Let us also get this straight now. The only young men who will not be called to colors from this first ten mil lion, will be the weaklings; those hav ing folks absolutely depenent upon them for support, and those absolutely necessary to keep going the Important industries in the country, upon the proper conduct of which is dependent the working of our country's salva tion. All the rest will go to the bat tle front. When this registration Is worked over, there will be another registration, and then perhaps, still another, and so on ad flnitu(m.. until Germany is transformed, and the world is won for democracy. There can be no hope for lasting peace till this is accomplished. Tuesday last saw the real experi ence of Reidsville. in this world's war. Thursday we witnessed upwards of six thousand men of the regular army going through to sojaie point for in struction in the new warfare, in prep aration for early embarkation for France. Every day from now on this scene will be repeated. Before long Reidsville will give up over two hundred of titer young men for the firing line in France. Every other town In this great country will do likewise. And they will continue to send their young mian until, if ne cesarv. we are bled as white as is France at the present moment. In comparison with the Civil War, the present horror relegates that to the status of a picnic. We do not want to minimize the sufferings our manhood went through in that cata clysm. But all previous ideas of de struction of men, women, children property, and of econojaiic resources of nations were a mere Joke in com parison with what America is facing now. The belief is daily gaining ground that this is Armageddon. We do not see how Armageddon . e worse. When one million pounds of high explosives are used to destroy an entiny stronghold; when shells are fired at the rate of about five thou sand In five minutes; when half a mil lion men are sacrificed In an attempt to take a strategic point; when a ni.l lion tons of shipping with its prli 1 1 s We must keep "business as usual." That will be easy in view of the fact that billions of dollars will be put into circulation in our preparations and the carrying on of the war. Money will not be scarce in 'America. We have the bulk of the currency In the world In our banks, and there must be no hoarding. It is silly to talk of saving to buy someting to at.

The Red Cross offers oppor tunity for this. It is an opportunity of imost compelling nature. Those who can do actual work will find joy in assisting the Red Cross. All must contribute for the purchase of material and we ought to tax ourselves volun tarily at bo much per month for this splendid work so long as the war lasts.

Francisco Villa was injured when his horse fell and kicked him in the chest days ago. This became known when DEATH IN ATLANTIC CITY OF A mass-meeting of far-reaching im portance was held at the Main Street Methodist church Sunday afternoon. After an interesting address by Mr, Crawford Jackson on "The Three De linquents," a motion was passed unan imously creating a Juvenile Protec tive Association for Reidsville. The question of whether the Association should be confined to city, township, or county, was raised, and after some discussion it. was decided to make it a township affair. The following officers were elected: President, A. L. Haskins; vice-president, R. B. Chance; secretary-treasurer, R. T. Burton; probation officer, T. W. Andrews, association attor ney, J. R. Joyce. By motion tha officers named were declared the ex ecutive committee' of the Association. The pastors, school principals, and the judges of the township were made ex-offlcio members of the executive committee. , The aim and purpose of this organi zation is Implied in its name. The Juvenile Court and Probation system is such a court as proves, in the per son of the presiding judge, a wise father to the child in the adjudication of his case, and In the person of the probation officer and intelligent, and. patient mother (or a man with some thing of the mother heart) in dealing with the saiaie neglected and delin quent child. Thus combining the best principles of motherhood and father hood as well as of -Jurisprudence, thei Juvenile Court is a court after God's own heart. ' This system, now beyond the ex perimental stage, steps In midway be tween two extremes that accursed plan : and custom In vogue for can turles of imprisoning youthful offend ers with older and criminal fanes, thereby criminalizing the child, and the other extereme which Is foolish, and hurtful alike to the child and to society to ignore the offense of tha young law-breaker because he is a. child. - This Association is to have a com plete working organization. In connec tion with which will be associated a number of "Big Brothers and Bis Sisters," to throw about the youthful offenders in our community the prop er environment and protection. the man at whose house Villa stopped at San Jose said he had entertained Villa. He said Villa remained at his house three days until he had recov ered sufficiently to rejoin his troops. This accounted for Villa's absence from the Ojinago fight.

This is one reason why ' New York state has organized such an efficient supply train and why the sturdy, expert up state teamsters are encouraged to enlist with the or ganization. The supply train will need eight off! cers and 301 men. The full comple ment of the train is 803 mules, twenty- three horses and 1S3 wagons. The road length of the train is 2.1W yard.4. The carrying capacity of the train is 497, 700 pounds. Of the enlisted men in the train forty will be appointed sergeants and thirty corporals.
