Patriarch Ordered
To Leave Lisbon
Cardinal Bello Forbidden to
Reside in Capital by the
Portuguese Government

LISBON, Aug. 25.-Cardinal Anthony
Mendea Bello, the Patriarch of Lisbon,
has been given five days by the Portu-
guese government to leave the capital
A decree issued to-day forbids the
Cardinal to reside in Lisbon or the sub
urbs for one year.
In 1911 the Portuguese Parliament
passed law providing for the separa-
ton of Church and State in that coun.
try. The law declared that the Roman
Catholic religion was no longer the
religion Of the state. The state APP
propriated all property belonging 70
churches and religious congregations
and announced that in the future all
churches must be maintained by the
offerings of their members. Their ac-
counts, however, were placed under the
fiscal supervision of the state.
To all priests in the enjoyment OF
benefce on July /, 1911, the government
insured the same stipends as they were
then receiving, the amounts TO be fixed
by special commissions. The churches
and other property necessary for re-
ligious worship were granted by the
state to the clergy free of all expense.
All religious property which was proved

Portuguese or foreign, according to the
law. was to be respected.

SNOBBERY ARMY OFFICERS
PROBABLY UNDERGO FIRE

Washington, Dec.+Senator Overman
introduced a resolution in the senate
today calling upon Secretary of Wal
Baker to furnish that body with any
rules or regulations which permitted
officers of the army to show class dis
tinction against privates outside of the
army camps and their official duties.
The senator introduced the resolution
because of charges made to him per-
sonally by a Charlotte man that snob-
berry is being practiced at Camps
Greene and Jackson against privates to
such an extent that it is becoming a
most serious problem.
Should Secretary Baker report that
there are any rules which allow Off
vers to act the part of "snobs," Sena-
tor Overmna will then take steps to
have such regulations changed by an
act of Congress and if necessary will
for an investigation of some of the
charges made against those officers
now at Camp Greene. The senator is
especially interested in the young man
who wears the uniform of a lieutenant
who openly insulted a son of n Of

North Cardinals most prominent fam
lilies at a dance at the Charlotte Coun-
try club. The senator, thoroughly
democratic himself, cal hardly believe
that such type Of men were allowed to
get into the army, even in these stren>
.uous war times when most anything is
liable to get into an officers uniform
while the powers that be are not look
ing.
He is also Interested to know who
the officer is who refused to ride in an
automobile owned by one of Char
totes prominent lawyers because this
Charlotte man was American enough
to offer a ride to the two privates who
"a going to Charlotte along with the
officer. As already told in these dis
patches, the officer left the automobile
when the privates were invited to ride
and stated that he could not ride with
I~privates.
What the army needs is a Josephus
Daniels. Daniels has done more to
run "snobs'' out of the navy than all
of his predecessors. He has made the
officers thoroughly understand that
there are just as good men serving as
privates in the navy as there are off
GERS. He has not made this idea a
French Broad hustler. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1916-1919, 1917-12-27

theory but he has put it into actual
practice. He allowed his own son to
enlist as a private in the marine corps
and this young mar is making good.
No Room for SnObs.
This country is fighting a great war.
1t cannot be won by %"snObs"; we are
going to win with American citizens
and a real American is not a "snob."
Therefore Senator Overman's plan is to
single out these snobs at the beginning
and have them put into a class by
themselvs so that all may know anu
understand who they are and let them
get their proper rank as early as pos
sible.

To the Women of North Carolina:
With victory in the great war de-
pendent upon the food supplies which
we can send to the armies and civilian
population of our Allies in Europe;
and with several hundred thousand
ome and children in the neutral
countries of Europe appealing piteous-
lv to America to save them from star
walton, we face the greatest and most
insistently pressing demand for food
stuffs that has been made upon a peo-
pie in the worlds history.
Russia has collapsed because Of dis
organized and insufficient food sup
plies for it's armies and for it's civilian
population in some sections, and nor
American blood will be spilled In
France because Of Russia's failure TO
push the war. Any failure upon our
part to supply necessary fooodstuns in
France, England and Italy would
threaten a similar collapse in those
countries which would UNNECESSARILY
increase the war burdens Of this coun-
try and the cost of variety.
The neutral peoples of Europe have
always imported large quantities OF
Hoodstuffs from North America, South
America, Asia and Australia. Because
of war conditions and transportation
difficulties practically all supplies are
now cut off except those from NORTH
America and representatives of those
peoples are making the most heart
rending appeals to our country for aid
| 1t is an appalling fact that despite
the most we can do for those people
after supplying u Allies tens O
thousands of them must perish fron
hunger during the next few months.
In the face of those conditions i
Europe we have exported all u mol
NAL surplus of wheat. Every pound c
wheat or -four which we export froI
now on must be saved from no
nal consumption. The same thing
approximately true of beef and por
products and fats while the situatio
18th sugar is ven worse.

our government officials are doing
their utmost to meet the situation
and every consumer of foodstuffs In
America may realize and feel sure that
every ounce of wheat, every ounce
of fats, every ounce of sugar and
every ounce of beef and pork which
they a v from their normal consump-
ton, either by reduction in consump-
ton or by the substitution of other
fo~odstuffs not suitable for export, will
reach a soldier in the trenches or .
woman, child or man who may starve
to death If it is not provided for them
by US. Every particle of expOrtable
foodstuffs saved in every North Caro-
lima home will release just that
amount to help win the war and to
help prevent the actual starvation and
suffering Of innocent women and chill
dren and men on the other side.
Most of our people r realizing

much smaller proportion of wheat

sugar than they were accustomed to
under normal conditions. Many have
not realized the seriousness and the
horror of the situation.
To every woman and every con,
sumer in the State, 1 appeal to do your
utmost in the saving of the o pro
ducts named. This is an individual
problem and must be solved by the in
dividual. The responsibility is ind
vidual and no single person an escape

upon them in this matter. We hav'
ample foodstuffs aside from those de
sired by the government for expo1
and none of us need suffer.
