between December 18 and December
rs. The magnitude Of this drive Ia
commensurate with the magnitude Of
the need in which II Is conceived. We
all know the tremendous demands on
the good services of the Red Cross at
this time. We all know that this de-
mand is going to be vastly greater be.
fore it grows less. We all know that
there 10 only one way liz which the un-
bounded suffering caused by this war
can be alleviated systematically and
on scale proportionate to its extent.
That way is through cooperation with
the Red Cross. There are more than
10, 200, 900, persons in the United
States who are not members Of the
Red Cross largely because Of thought
lessness. Are you one Of them2 In
this drive you may become a member

lar against the war-created misery and
suffering that exists and hesitate an
instant? The Red Cross service flag,
indicating the number in the household
who are Red Cross members, Is already
to be seen.in thousands of homes. Be-
fore Christmas these thousands will
grow into millions. Do you wish your
fagless home or office or store or fac
tory to be flanked by Red Cross service
flags? IL you cannot serve in the
trenches you can serve at home.

NEWS FROM
STATE CAPITOL
(By Maxwell Gorman.)

Raleigh, JulyI24.-On the part
Of the young men whose numbers
have been called in the selective
draft there ought to be a rush this
week to get into some North Car
olina regiment, even if the home
companies ranks are full. Unless
a ruling of the war department,
just announced, those drawn for
service in the draft can still
sHnlant teer ups sta thastime they are
individually notified to appear be-
fore the local exemption board.
Those who fail to do this will
probably be assigned to regiments
Of other states.
It ought to be worth while to
any true North Carolinaian to
take advantage Of the opportunity
to touch elbows with friends and
kindred While ~On the French
front of battle, instead of serving
among personal strangers. That is
why am telling him this and
adding that he needs to be in a
hurry about it or it will be too
late. At this writing there are
several batteries Of Colonel Cox s
new artillery regiment (Which
has had only a week to recruit
and organize) not yet quite up to
full strength. Attach yourself to
it right now or to some other
Tarheel units and feel at home
even at the training camp and on
the battle field.

HOOVER -WILBER
PARTNERSHIP
(By UNITED PRESS)


Washington, 24.-The Hoover
Wilbur combination is at work
again, this time in the interests Of
the nations welfare. s z .s-..--ss, s.ss..t-.-
Way back in the SOS Ray Ly-
man Wilbur was a digniied SEN
ior. in Leland Stanford Univer-
sity, at the same time that Herbert
G. Hoover, then a big, gawky,
mining student, was a junior. Both
students were earning their own
WayethrQugh school, and incident
ally just about running the school
at the same time, according to re-
ports. Hoover got himself elect
ed financial manager Of all ath-
letics, with small salary for his
work, and thus added to his small
income.
This was one time when con-
trasts did not draw to each other.
Neither man was brilliant and
fashy-both had to dig for what
they got, and neither had time to
go in for the fraternity crowds.
Unconsciously they formed 81
lent partnership based upon alb
solute trust and confidence in
each other.
Clear down through all the
years since the two students
were graduated this partnership
has continued, sometimes separat-
ed by half the distance around the
earth. Letters were regular and
often.
| When DIR. Wilbur was elected
president Of his old university
Leland Stanford, he called his
partner, then away over in Eng.
land, and had him elected to the
board OF directors. And SO they
ran the university.
! Now Herbert G.. Hoover, food
administrator of the United States
has reversed the case and called
his old partner to his assistance
DR.. Wilbur is to head the fooo
conservation department, while
Hoover heads the food control
department.
Thus continues the friendship
never question when the othe1
calls, each ready to give up every
thing to go to the other, with no
a, thought Of material gain, Fol
more than thirty years without
| strain or friction.

spies in her cities. Thus the new
cabinet prepared today to invoke
measures of bloodshed to stop
the rout Of the southwest army
and to clean out the nest Of Ger

through the nation.
Premier Kerensky is arriving at
the front today and is expected to
order the local troops, without
mercy, to shoot down their fellow
soldiers who yielded to the Ger
man propaganda and started the
muntiny proclamation, declaring
all who disobey the provisional
government s battle orders to be
regarded as traitors and towards,
and must be shown no mercy.
This is the text Of the orders
that will be issued today for the
purpose of stopping the rout Of
the soldiers, and also the insidious
influence Of German spy system
which has heretofore had a de-
trimental effect upon the whole
nation.
Petrograd is hoping that Ker-
ensky will again perform mira

The existence of a huge Ger
man plot to overthrow the demo-
cracy by counter revolution has
been definitely proved today in
the wholesale arrests in the capi-
