The Fearful Cost.
News and Observer.

News ana Obberver.
Old Paul Kruger, president o
the Trnnsvall, declared wher
Great Britain was about to de-
clare war on his country, that
they might fight him, might whip
him and eventually wonld con-
quer him, but that before they
did it it would be a cost that
would stagger the world. And
Kruger's words were prophetic.
Great Britain went to war with
his country and finally conquer
ed it, but the cost was fearful
and humanity was appalled, at
the slaughter. -,'
Both the Boer war and the wal
between the States were but mere
skirmishes compared with what
is happening in Europe today.
1t is stated that it will cost at
least 100000 lives for Japan to
wrest Kiao Chow from the Ger
mans, and OF course the German
loss will be almost as heavy.
Europe is today bathed In a
sea OF blood the like OF which the
world has never dreamed.
The war is sickening to con-
template. Homes are being left
desolate, and soldiers, going
forth to the sound Of music, bea.
ting OF drums and waving OF ban.
ners, leave, knowing that they
will never again look on the face
OF their loved ones.
Think OF the thousands OF
widows and orphans that are be.
ing made daily by this ghastly
spectacle in which the " h o ! e
world stands in awe. Would
that the Prince OF Peace could
sp@ad His guarding wings over
the warning powers and that this
inhumanity ofFthe days Of bar
basism might speedily be brout
to a close.

BOONE.

From east to west, through all the
land,
We hear OF weather fair,
But when the tsst is made we find
That none exceed this mountain air.
We hear OF grass and waving grain
In other lands than ours,
Yet we'er always glad to claim
This lovely land of flowers,
Some may boast of friends 80 true,
OF boys and girls SO fair,
But when, elsewhere, all these are few
Go to Boone, you'll find them there.
Some speak, with pride, Of sch ools so
fine,
The number that each term enrolls,
But n Ine Snrpass in this fair cline
The Appalachian Training Sch ool.
When you begin to look for towns
That have no fOgs and gloom,
You'll fud when searched the world
around
That none surpass the town Of Boone.

The German Successes.

SO much OF the news from til.
Europeon battlefelds as has beer
given to the country. indicates
two facts quite plainly. One O
these is that the English and the
French troops have been badly
defeated by the Germans. The
other is that there has been a
dreadful sacrifice OF human lives.
The fighting has been at close
quarters with the most deadly ol
modern armaments and between
thick ranks ofsoldiers. Well may
the pail hang over the capital
cities Of not only England and
France, but that OF Germany, al.
so. The concentrated successes
OF the German army will bring
the allied forces face to face with
the serious work before them.
The situation so early developed
will discount the predictions OF
those who might have minimized
the actual power OF Germany as
q war Nation. The advantages
OF military training and efticien.
cy is having demonstration at
the very beginning OF the war.
But the route OF the allied forces
for rout it evidently is-was
not so complete, nor SO demora.
lizing as was the rout of the Fed
eral army in the opening encoun-
ter OF the Civil war. The allies
have met with reverses through
which they may profit by new
alignments and new tactics. En-
ough has developed to convince
the country that the defeat OF
Germany'is q task SO gigantic
as will tax the resources of all
the countries pitted against her
and one that must call into play
the finest military strategy the
world has yet seen.
We-Might add q third fact as
growing out OF the develoment.
The expectation that the first
battle would be a general and de-
cisive one between the modified
forces did not tmaterialize, and the
calculation based on heeXpecta-
tion for a short war have been
considerable upset.-Charlotte

MOVING BRITISH ARMY.
New York Sun.

New York Sun.
In a letter sent to George D.
Blair, of Newcastle, Pa, Henry
W. Thornton, formerly general
superintendent OF the Great Eas
tern Railway Company OF Eng
land, throws an interesting light
on the war situation in England.
In the letter Mr.. Thornton said:
It is a wonderful but terrible
experience for me. Terrible not
that we are in danger personally
bnt because it is pathetic to see
the chap you dined gaily wit h
last night pick up his rifle, kiss
his family goodbye and calmly
| ioin his colors.
"All England has risen as one
man. The internal discords which
threatened to disturb the en-
piv have completely evapornted
and the Irish will lose no oppor-
tnnity to be in the thickest OF
the thick of the fray. Nearly ev-
ery able-bodied Englishman has
enlisted. They come from all
quarters and classes and quiet.
" and grimly 90 about the bus
| mess of war. There is something
deadly in the atmosphere which
looks as bad for the Kaiser as it
did for Napoleon 100 years ago.
This will be a fight to the finish
and the impression is that Eng
land will not rest until the mill
tary power OF Germany has for
ever ceased to be a menace to the
peace OF the world.
THE spirit of the French is
wonderful. A man Just from Par
is said he was in the suberbs
when the mobilization order was
posed. A man passed by on a bi-
cycle, dismounted, read the no.
tice and turned to leave. He was
presumably a servant and his
mistress passing in a car said:
Jean, you won't leave ms at
once? Touching his hat the man
said: 'Oui, madame, au revoir, a
Berlin and off he rode to Join
his regiment.
"The railways OF England have
been taken over by the Govern
ment, but are operated by the
existing staff and men. An execu-
tive committee of general mama
gers acts as a medium between
the War Office and the roads and
issues the necessary instructions
for movements. We have worked
out all of our mobiliza ton sched
ules and are now in the thick OF
moving the troops. Weare doing
our job on the Great Eastern
splendidly, and | am proud OF
my gang. They are mp on their
toes and act like a bunch OF A.
mericans. The entire outfit is
pulling like one man.
Il saw the German Ambassa-
dor off yesterday. He is Prince
Lochnowsky. The Princess, his
suite and about POO Germans &C.
companied him. 1t was a pathet-
ic and historicalsight. Many peo-
pie were on hand. The Ambassa-
dor and the Princess arrived by
motor. They passed between the
rows of people to the platform,
where the train started of in alb
solute silence. There was uot a
hiss or a boo Not a foot NOV
ed. There was nothing but a
deadly, uncanny silence"

Fourth District Men Say Union
Certain.

An address issued to the voters o
the Fourth Congressional Distric
and given out at Republican head
quarters here follows:
1T IS apparent TO ap thinking men
thai the Democracy will remain in
power My SO long rs the opposition
to that party is divided. Indeed
President Wilson was elected only
because OF this division. The ne
cessity for replacing the Democratic
national Administrator is seen more
clearly and felt with greater force ais
time elapse.
The voters opposed to the Demo-
cratic Administration Mho do not lie
sire preferment or exploitation, are
anxious and impatient to reunite. II
is conceded by both Progress yes and
Republicans that the reunion must
and viii come. The practical ques-
ton now is, under what banner shall
these forces coalesce? The unm S.
taxable trend vi public opinion thru
out the Unltth States is toward the
Republican party. Thousands Of Re-
publcans in Kentucky, aud elsewhere,
voted for Roosevelt because they con-
sidered him the legal nominee Of the
Republican party. They had no hdea
or intention of forming separate or
ganization. Their vote was simply
a protest.
In 1912, Roosevelt polled i'm this
State, 1O2.766 votes; Taft polled ll5,-
OH votes. In the general primary
held August, 1913. the Progressive par
ty polled only 1877 votes, While The
Republican party polled S5,6S7. In
the general election held in Novem-
Der. 1913, the Progressives polled IN
rounh numbers $4,000. and the Re- !
publacans l25.OO0 votes. The figures
established beyond question the fact |
that the rank and file have returned
