/ is this the case that no time should

We need an army of 100000 men.

Let Congress determine to build

Put these men to work on these

defenses, manned by the finest and
most enthusiastic body of men the
world has ever seen. Let each com
pany of men remain on one particular

ROOSEVELT'S WAY.

II Roosevelt gets the Republican
noiuination at Chicago asks the man
in the street, "doesn It he fear the
great German opposition in this coun-
try that usually is a potent factor in
Republican successes at the polls?'' A
conservative estimate Of the German
vote in this country is about six per
cent. at the lowest But with German
American citizens making a fight and
bringing their influence to bear, they
could easily control that many more
votes. They are a thrifty lot and good
organizers. Then, does the Oyster Bay
Omelette mean to continue his attitude
of defiance toward this branch of the
American family? Does he think that
he can be elected by an amalgamation
of the two flanks of the Republican
party, minus this German unit that
the G. o. P. has always counted upon
being as solid Republican as the South
is Democratic?

JIMMIE GLASS AGAIN3

Governor Locke Craig yesterday re-
ceived letter from the parents Of jim
mie Glass, the white boy who was kid
mapped some months ago, asking him
to look further into the matter Of trao-
ing the boy who passed through here
with a gypsy band some weeks ago.
Governor Craig called Chief of Police
gray over long distance phone yester-
day and also the writer Of this article
and asked for a picture of the boy,
which was taken at the time the no.
made were camped ON the outskirts OF
town.
When Chief Gray was sent by the
governor to Petersburg to look for the
kidnapped child, the band OF nomads
that were seen here were not there
those being in camp there being nam
ed Mitchell; while those camping here
were named Costello.
| A telegram was received here by
the gypsies when they were encampec
in this vicinity presumably from {
leader of their band, instructing then
to be in Richmond, Va, on Easte
Monday. After leaving here the gyp
sizes telephoned from Halifax to a rel
ative that was in the hospital ther'
telling him that they would see hin
on the date that they were instructed t.
be in Richmond.
The kodak film was sent Governo
Craig yesterday afternoon and it
thought that he will have a persona
representative to see the boy in Rich
mond and determine as to whether h
is the one in question or not.

The new road from Scotland Neck
to Hobgood, which will be completed
in sixty days, is the cheapest piece of
road work considered from the cost of
construction, that has ever been built
in Halifax county. This road is thirty
feet wide and is as smooth as a plate.
We venture the assertion that it is
the best road in the county without
fear of refutation. This road cost
$3.50 a mile. Every road that the coun
ty has built has cost between $500 and
50 900 per mile. Just where all thlt
amount has been expended, we are at
a loss to know. We do know, how
ever. that since the three townships in
this end of the county have been work
ing their own roads, the roads have
been put in better shape that they ever
have been before. And we will not be
surprised at the other townships OF the
county working their roads on the same
basis that the Joint Roads Commission
are working the roads Of Scotland
Neck, Palmyra, Roseneath and Conoc
anara,- when they realize the returns
in good roads that the taxpayers are
getting for their money in this end OF
the county.

MARCH CONSUMPTION OF
COTTON 613,625 BALES

Washington, April 15.-Cotton manu-
facturers used more raw cotton during
March than in any one month before in
the nation s history. Census bureau
statistics, has announced, show the
6OO,00O-bale mark was passed for the
first time, as far as records show. The
exact quantity Of cotton used during
the month was 6l3 ,625 bales, exceeding
the previous record month, which was
March last year, by almost 10000
bales.
Indications are that the years con
sumption of cotton in the United
States will be record one, as the cot
ton manufacturing industry is extreme
ly active. Up to the end of March
,22o 800 bales of cotton had been used
during the eight months of the cotton
year. That is 651 900 bales more than
were used last year in the same period

VIENNA ADMITS REVERSE
Greece About Ready to Fol-
low Example Of Rumania
and Join the Allies.

London, Aug. go king Ferdinand
of Rumania has ordered general
mobilization of his forces and is re-
ported to have gone to the front per-
sonally to take command of his army.
The Rumanians already are report
ed to be making furious efforts to
capture passes in the eastern Carpath.
ians leading into Hungary and are de,
clared to be lighting shoulder to
shoulder with Russian troops coming
from Bukowina.
While Berlin says that Rumania s
attempts to pierce the passes have
been futile, Vienna admits that owing
to far reaching encircling move
ment by strong Rumanian forces, "
Austrian advanced detachments have
been forced to withdraw,
What Greece's attitude will be as a
result of Rumania's joining the en-
tente allies is still problematical but
unofficial advices to London express
the belief that she soon will join with
the entente.
Occupation by the Bulgarians of
Kavala is declared to have intensified
the feelings of the Greeks who are
said to be willing TO follow former
Premier Venizelos in any action he
may advise. Venizelos is strongly
pro-entente.
Nome of the beAigerents claim any
great battle. There is still artillery
activity in the Pozieres region. Along
the front held by the French bad
weather halted operations.
