SUBJECT OF SPEAKER
Former Governor Folk Calls on True
Americans at North Carolina Society.

The tremendous influence which the
United States wields in the world to-
day through her entrance into the war
on the side Of the allies, and the
hopelessness OF the cause of the central
powers through that action, was wildly
brought out in an address delivered by
former Governor Joseph w. Folk, Of
Missouri, before the North Carolina
Society. at the Hotel Powhatan last
night.
He emphasized the fact that the great
est issues of the worlds history arS
being fought out on the battlehelds Oh
Europe. the issues OF autocracy anc
democracy in human government and
said that every true American should
be willing to render any service he may
be called upon TO give, and prove his
title to be called a citizen of the greatest
republic.
The speaker paid high tribute to the
clear head and steady hand that guided
the nations destinies in these troubled
times and called on all to support the
President through the dark period Of
the war.
DR.. II. n. Dolmage, a native Armenian,
spoke on THE Prosecutions of the
Armenians." and graphically described
the massacres of his people by the Turks

In undertaking this work, you boys

and the more We can send to the allies,
the less men America will have to use TO
win the war"

Australia Now Boasts
Transcontinental Rwy,
New Line Of Commercial and
Military Importance

The practical completion OF the AUS
tralian Transeontinental Railway. run
ming from west to cast, and for inc
first time putting Western Australia
in direct railway communication win
the other states Of the Commonwealth
Is an event of capital importance, from
both the imperial and the purely Aus
tralian point of view. says the London
"Times." Not only will it reduce ~
two or three DAYS tho time required by
passengers and mails to travel between
Great Britain and the eastern states
of Australia, but il will increase the
opportunities for intercourse between
Western Australia and other states, IT
will furnish quick transport for perish
able goods and il will tap the resources
of stretch of country having great
productive possibilities. Nor is the
line without strategic importance. Be
fore il was constructed Western Aus
tralia had 10 depend for defence on her
own local troops, or, at any rate, suher
the grave consequences that might pos
sibly result from having to await the
arrival Of additional troops by water,
and Lord Kitchener declared, at the
end of his tour around Australia, that
not only a grave commercial and polit-
cal disadvantage, but also might prove
a serious source Of military weakness.
According to the preliminary survey
on which construction was started, the
length OF the line from Kalgoorlie to
Port Augusta was 1908 miles, but by
some changes made subsequently,. 1t
has been reduced TO about 1,051 miles.
IL Erz. N a l.
eoorlie the line runs due east; then
for another 300 miles il takes light
rortheasterly trend, and for the last
$50 miles il curves to the south, pass
ing through Tarcoola and TO the north
of Lake Gardner. It's course is thus
roughly parallel to the coast OF the
Great Australian Blight, but always well
away from il; the point where II APP
nroaches the sea most closely is OPP

Diary of Western Australia, when Is
60 miles distant from II, through m
hospitable country. This interior route
was for several reasons preferred 10
the more southerly one VIA Nawier
Range and Fowler's Bay, followed oy
the telegraph line. ,o,o =.
when construction began in 1913 at
least 500 miles OF the route were en-
tirely uninhabited, and practically over
the whole route there was no local
population from which supplies OF
labor or food could be drawn. Hence
organization of an unusual kind was
required for the transport Of ma
terial, water and other supplies LOT
providing the workmen with personal
recessaries and stores, and for estab-
lisning boarding houses, medical ser
vices and postal, telegraph and bank
ing facilities. Throughout the length
OF the line there was no surface water,
and At one stage there was stretch
of 337 miles on which there was no
local water all supplies for men. ami
