frHE. fnR(m-BEARER OF CIVILIZATION.

THE TORCH-BEARER OF
ax&sr
The larger vision Of President Wilson in his
note to Germany is to be found in those passages
in which he urges that it is Humanity which
calls for the ending of attacks OF submarines
which threaten the lives Of non-combatants and
neutral ships. It is urged that fairness rea-
son, justice, and humanity demand that Ger
many cease from undertakings which can be
justified neither in law OF In morals.
That part of the world which has not be-
come war-mad must agree that when President
Wilson calls upon Germany to mend its ways
in it's submarine warfare he speaks for thas
humanity which should be the guiding instinct
of all the nations Of the world, that his note 70
Germany is as the voice of one who speaks TOT
the preservation of that civilization which mas
been the boast of enlightened nations. And IN
that note President Wilson takes such position
as to call to his side the best in all nations.
Does war suspend the laws of humanity? The
answer to that question was we'll made yester-
day in Stockholm, Sweden, when a group Of
prominent Swedish educators, authors, artists,
and philanthropists in a message to the people
of the United States in which there was con-
domination of what they rightly termed 'in-
human methods Of warfare" declared: "The
conception that war suspends all the laws Of
humanity must prove IdtdI TO the future OF
civilization and disastrous to that human soli-
darity which is Of such vital Importance, par
ticularly to the smaller nations of the world"
That is a declaration which should find response
everywhere.
That is the position which President Wilson
has taken in the United States note to Ger
many, and it is a position which makes the
President of the United States the torch-bearer
of civilization in the Stygian darkness of war
which threatens to envelope even a larger part
of the globe than that over which it now
spreads. In his call to Germany that it cease
from its violations and return to the sacred
principles of justice and humanity" he speaks
in the counsels in Berlin. The President seeks
nothing of gain for this country, but speaking
for the people of all countries he asks for guar
antees that there will be no recurrence Of any
thing SO subversive of the principles of war
fare as that which has called for action on the
part Of the government of the United States in
sending it's note to Germany.
What American can there be who is not proud
of having in the White House a man who speaks
as does woodrow Wilson? He has that spirit
which is the embodiment Of humanity and Of
civilization. Because of him America stands
higher today as a force for civilization than it
has ever stood. The most splendid aspirations
of our people for America as a world-power for
good finds voice in the note of the United States
which yesterday was placed in the hands Of the
Imperial German Government.

Woodrow Wilson, the great-hearted Presi-
dent, is recognized by the women Of this coun.
try as a man to be trusted, that he is a man
upon whom the people of the United States can
we'll rely. 1t was most significant than when
the rumor that he had been assassinated was
flying about Raleigh on Monday that of the
great volume OF telephone calls which came to
The News and Observer asking about the re-
port the bulk of these came from women. And
no finer tribute will ever be paid the President
than there was in the words and the tone Of
the woman who when told that there was no
truth in the rumor, fervently declared: "Thank
God" .-t -~ s:3E t#

every jolly and dangerous folly the prodigal

SWIMMING A NEED.

Perhaps it was Harvard, at least it was me
Of the great institutions of learning, which re.
Gently made announcement that its students
would be required to take lessons in swimming.
this not alone for the physical value, but that ~
the ability to swim persons might not alone be
able to protect their own lives, but that they
might if occasion arose be able to save the Itv2s
Of others.
The need that men and women be able to
swim is always emphasized when great aceI-
dents, such as the loss of the Titanic, or great
disasters, such as the torpedoing of the Lusi-
tania, are fresh in the public mind. Then tho
public has it's attention focused upon the value
of being able to swim. Times without numbers
there has come deep regret to families that some
boy or some girl, some man or some woman,
did not know how to swim, for there has heen
crepe on the door because this was lacking.
In the account of the destruction of the Lusi.
tania the reports are that Alfred G. Vanderbilt,
as we'll as others mentioned, did not know how
to swim. Sunday a twelve-year-old lad OF this
city was drowned in Crabtree Creek, near Ral'
eigh, the statement being made that he could
not swim. Instances in vast numbers can -
cited where lives were lost because Of the lack
of the ability to swim.
The truth is that swimming should be taught
to every boy and every girl. 1t should becons
a fixed part Of instruction in life, for II is hos
known when the absolute need for the amlHy
will arise. In the case of people living near no
ocean or any stream or body of water i appears
criminal that there should be those who aTs
not able to swim. ANY institution is wise Which
requires that it's pupils learn how to SWIM.
Parents everywhere should see to it that ther
children are able to swim. The one time III -
when this knowledge is the imperative need VIZ
pay a million times more than any expero' =
trouble in the learning.
