no one, to our knowledge, can
point to where land for such
purpose could be secured at a
lower price. As a matter Of
fact cemetery land has always
been high in price. and on ac-
count of its undesirability in a
neighborhood and deterioration
in value in land surrounding il,
undoubtedly always will be.
AS TO the desirability of the
proposed tract for cemetery pur-
pose IL is a matter of opinion.
Some people like a cemetery
close in. others farther out. A
more desirable tract, closer in,
larger in quantity and some
what higher in price has been
offered. However. the contract
has not yet been signed for any
land for the purpose, and may
not be. The certainty of a pub.
lie road extending to the tract
will have TO be established first.

The Teutons and the Confederates

1t is beginning to appear that
Germany and Austria are re-
peating the fate of the ConfeC-
eracy wearing themselves out
whipping the Russians.
Owing to cable facilities be-
tween the United States and the
western theater of war the at
tention of this country has been
centered to a large extent on the
trench warfare in Flanders and
northern France. But the really
spectacular warfare has been
taking place on the other side
Never before in the history of
the world have such tremendous
forward sweeps, such headlong
pIunges of millions of men against
each other, such disastrous back
sweepings and titanic recoveries
been exhibited to the gaze of a
startled world. After all, the
miracle of the war is Russia re-
siliency. No nation has hitherto
withstood such appalling punish
ment as Hindenburg has inflicted
on the armies of Grand Duke
Nicholas; but the modern Antae-
us rises from each downfall
stronger than before. To change
the figure, the Teutonic allies
have been performing a Sissy
phean labor they find no insup-
cradle difficulty in rolling up the
high hill the huge round stone, "
but no sooner do they pause to
l
catch breath than down upon
them it comes crashing again.
The question is, how long can
they themselves continue such
Herculean toll? for there is no
indication of any failing of
Russia's amazing vitality. Take
this latest drive, for example;
true enough the Austro-German
troops swept the Russians head
long before them, but let no one
deceive himself by thinking that
the sweeping was accomplished
Roanoke Rapids herald. [volume] (Roanoke Rapids, N.C.) 1914-192?, 1915-05-21

without terrific efforts. And now
the Russians are returning as be-
fore for number like the grass
hoppers. Can the Teutons re-
peat their tremendous effort? If
they can, how many times can
they repeat? There must be a
limit to human endurance some
where, and it must not be forgot
ten that the pressure on the
western line is steadily, if slowly,
increasing.
Prophets are not lacking who
predict that when the crash comes
it will be like the bursting of a
mill-dam. These are they who
believe that Germany and Aus
tria are like the logged prize
fighter who continues fighting on
his nerve alone, long after he
should have been whipped. But
others, remembering the Confed-
eracy after Gettysburg, shake
their heads. Soldiers with their
feet planted on their own soil,
say these, always fight better.
Many comparisons have been
made already between the situa-
ton of Germany and that of the
Inflated southern federation, and
in many respects there is a
striking similarity. But the
real test of the spirits of the two
peoples will not arrive until the
Germans are on their own soil.
Heretofore the fighting has all
been on the enemy's ground, in
itself an inspiration to nation
in battle array. 1t is yet too
soon to compare Germany with
the Confederacy If the Teutons
defend Berlin with the desperate
valor that kept the northern
armies out of Richmond for two
long years after the ultimate

The Bond Issue

The Board of Commissioners
of the Town of Roanoke Rapids
have taken another step for
ward in the voting of SIS, O00.0 O
of bonds for the purpose of pay
ing for fire fighting system in
stalled several years ago and for
street improvements.
These bonds were voted by the
old Board Of Commissioners with
the unanimous approval of the
members of the newly elected
Board. The tax rate of the
town will not have to be raised
to pay the interest on these
bonds and they simply mean that
the town will have enough money
to put down five foot concrete
sidewalks over the major portion
of the town, fix up the roads and
Roanoke Rapids herald. [volume] (Roanoke Rapids, N.C.) 1914-192?, 1915-05-21

bridges, and make all dangerous
places now scattered over town
safe.
The street and sidewalk i'm
provement will enhance the
value of every piece of property
in town, make the town look
better, add in large measure to
the comfort of the citizens of the
town and be an important factor
in inducing outside parties to
come here to live.
The old Board of Commission
ers, consisting of j. I. Chase,
Mayor, j. w. Taylor, DR.. I. W.
M. Long, S. j. Bounds, W. +.
Woodruff, and Chas. Welsh,
have fitting climax to their
progressive administration in the
passage of this bond issue.

Military Preparedness

An editorial in the Washing
ton Post notes that in last win
ter's Shoo-round between the
British and German fleets, the
Bluecher, Alderman battle cruiser
was sunk. The reason the Blue
cher was sunk was because
being slower than the remainder
of the German fleet, she was
left behind in the scramble to the
tender mercies of the British
dreadnaughts. The best speed
the Bluecher was capable Of
making was about twenty SIX
knots an hour, which happens to
be four or five knots faster than
the speed Of any American battle
ship. The conclusion is that the
American fleet, in such apredica
ment, must inevitably have sue
cumbed to the weaker antagonist.
More and more is it becoming
evident that this nation needs
stronger, speedier, better equip
ped navy and a larger and more
efficient standing army. A stand
ing army of five thousand men
should be maintained in this
country. In the face Of the
millions of trained soldiers of all
of the other world powers, this
number is modest enough. Our
navy should be match for the
strongest probable antagonist
quoting from Admiral Dewey
and which really means that it
should be about twice as large
and efficient as it now is.
Adequate military prepared
ness is not jingoism, is not eX
trayagance, it is merely fore
sighted insurance that our nation
al rights will be respected and
our national honor preserved
Since the European war has de
monstrated to the citizens Of the
United States the mighty power
and military resources OF the
larger European nations, an in
creasing number of Americans
are coming to realize the impera-
tive necessity for some degree Of
military preparedness in this
country.

The German report that the
Lusitania was sunk by the detona-
ton of the ammunition in her
hold, only one torpedo being fir
ed against her, is a little too ar
tistic and comes a little too late
in the game to be as convincing
as might be. The German mind
is artistic but not quite quick
enough on the trigger an
American could have told a lie
like that in about half the time.
