Santiago, Aug. 7.-El Mercurio, the
most important newspaper Of Chile
and dean of the South American
journals today defended the sale of
war munitions to the allies by manu-
facturers in the United States in a
vigorous editorial.
Should Germany win said Ell Mer-

be at the mercy of the country which
was able to produce the greatest sup
plies of war munitions.
The viewpoint of the United States

 One day Josephus Daniels, now Se- cretary of the Navy, met this man on the street in Raleigh. The prodigal was in rags, looked hungry and was evidently in very hard luck.
 Ut seems to me that you must have tough time" said Daniels. "How do you stand it after the good living, luxuries and fine clothes you have been accustomed to-"
 "Mr. Daniels" the man replied. "Ill tell you how l do it: l have made arrangements to get along without what l cant get"

Rational Love

The rational rather than the rom- antic view of marriage is the most in favor with the young people of the twentieth century," said Dr. H. Lucas Wentworth, the well-known eugenics expert, in an address in Cleveland.
 "The rational view will make for happier marriages. And this rational view is beautifully illustrated in two questions-a little dialogue-running thus:
 "Will you always love me-"
 "Willsyou always be lovable?"

Burglars At Hancock.

Edward Little, assistant cashier OF the
Hancock Bank, had very unpleasant
experience about 2 o'clock last Sunday
morning, by being awakened from his
slumbers to find three shining revolver
muzzles pointed at his head, with the
admonition to lie still or have his head
blown off. Mr.. Little is the son OF p. l..
Little, who conducts general merchan-
disc store in that place. He sleeps above
his fathers store alone AS was his Gus
tom, he retired shortly before midnight
Saturday and slept on until about : a. m,
when he was aroused by noise in his
room. Looking up, he saw two forms
standing over him and the muzzleS OF
three revolvers leveled toward his head.
Then voice said Lie down where are
you and be sure TO keep your face shut
or we'll blow your head off" While the
one kept him covered with his revolverS,
the other stripped the bed clothes off
Little and proceeded TO tie his feet and
hands. He then made gag OF the pillow
case and put this in Little's mouth. While
Little watched them they ranSacked his
clothes and removed his valuable gold
watch, then left the room by the staircase
and he heard them 60 into the store be-
meath. He Immediately set about freeing
himself. About three hours later he Sue
ceeded in removing the gag and worked
his way to the window, where he pro-
ceeded TO call for help. Samuel Brakeall,
a neighbor, who was watering his horse,
heard Little's cries for help, and calling
assistance went to the room, where they
released him. They then made an in
vestigation in the store below, where
they discovered the safe door standing
open and about SIS in cash gone. To the
best OF Mr.. Little's knowledge nothing
else was taken from the store.

Complimentary To Miss shuII.

Miss BuIa Ray Shull, who has been
studying at the New England Conserva-
tory OF Music, Boston, for the past few
years, was heard at the Greene Memorial
Methodist Church Sunday morning and
evening during the services. Mr.. Everard
Calthrop, choir master, announces that
Miss Shull will assist the church choir for
several Sundays. Miss Shull's voice was
heard at its best Sunday. She has ameZZo-
contralto voice Of wonderful range and
beauty and its perfect flexibility and alb
solute finish in all its coloraturo work is a
delight TO hear. Music critics who heard
her realize that she has not only improved
in her tone production, but also in her
diction and style. Miss Shull's magnifi-
cent voice filled the large auditorium OF
this church, inspiring the congregation
with an intimate sympathy and under
standing that is beyond praise. There
are but few artists who possess that in
deiinable something that enables them to
satisfy alike the trained musician and the
lover OF music who is moi versed in the
art. Miss Shull is one such. Her voice,
though a contralto, has an extensive up
ward range and one of great volume.
Miss Shull is Roanoker and is favorite
in her home city. She possesses charm
ing personality, together with her wonder
full voice, which makes her particularly
fortunate and gifted artist.-R0anoke
