There are in the high schools of the

and somewhat more than 100000 of

next. In an ordinary year 10000 or
more of these would next fall enter col

to be prepared for such service to So
ciety, state and nation as can be rem
dered only by those who have received
education beyond that which the high
schools can give.
Many college presidents and others
fear that on account of our entrance
into the war few boys and girls will
enter college next fail and that the to-
tai college attendance will be. very
small. The number ought. however. to
be much larger than usual: and, as
commissioner of education of the Unit
ed States. l wish to urge all boys and
girls who graduate from high school
this spring and who can possibly do
so to enter some institution of higher
learning next fall-collegc or normal
school or technical or vocational school
of some kind. There should be more
students in the schools next year than
ever before.

presentatives of that party in con. gress is whether they will allow a base and narrow partisanship to lead them to serve the enemy. And that is a very serious question for the party as whole. We suggest furth. CT that the Republican party would do well to dissociate itself entirely from the so-called Republican pub licity bureau Of this our cores. pondent said yesterday:
 If this publicity association" were in the hands of an agent of the kali ser it could not better serve the cause of Germany. and yet it pur- ports to speak for the Republican party.
 These are days in which the op- position, if it is to be effective and helpful, must also be patriotic. It is about time that the millions of pa- triotic Republicans throughout the country were awakening to the dan ger which confronts their party.

The Republican leader ship, as it now exists in congress, is endoresed by every German sympath- izer here, and this is no doubt true of the country at large Every Ger man sympathizer in this town is either openly or secretly commenting Representative Mann for his effort to make a partisan matter of the question whether there shall be a congressional board to interfere in the conduct of the war. To a man they are in favor of the creation of board of this kind and are batting Repre- sentative Mann on the back. The whole purpose of the present cam paign of criticism in congress, as this campaign is formulated and carried on by the German sympathizers in that body, is to weaken the war arm of the United States by creating a o-Germans know that if they can discredit the men who are conducting this war with the people they will have won a great victory.
 There are Democrats in the same boat. but they presumably will be taken care of by the administration, which has thus far been str ,g enough to maintain discipline in it's own par ty. There should be nothing but con- demnation for such men as Stone, Hardwick, Hoke Smith, Ham Lewis, and other Democrats of that stripe. They. too, are playing the enemy's

game. But the question for the great mass of Republicans-and it is to them that these remarks are address ed-is whether they want their party to be put before the country as "an anti-war party Such men as Pen- rose, Mann and Sherman-to say nothing of La Toilette, who, after all, is not much of Republican-are in- spired, not solely by pro-German sentiments. but by such hatred of the President that they can find nothing good in anything that he does. A loyal Republican senator said the other day that he knew of fellow Republican senators and a few Re- publican representatives "who hate Wilson more than they do the kaiser" !" The senator thus quoted said further that he thought it most unfortunate that such a feeling should exist at this critical time in the history of the country. All patriots will agree with him. If they continue to sub init to such leadership, the Republi- cans will find it impossible to plead in defense of their party the sins of such Democrats as Hardwick, Hoke Smith, Stone and J. Ham Lewis.
 The pro-Germans will work through any disaffected element that exists, whether it be Republican or Demo- cratic. It is shame and disgrace that there should be such an element in the American congress. There is natural turning toward the Repub- lican party, since that is the party of opposition.

In view of the fact that many citizens of Lee county will be called upon to defend our country in it's hour of peril either in the military branch of our governments service .or in some department of defensive work, and in view of the further fact that many of those who have already responded to the call of the flag and others will go either as vol unteers or under the selective draft plan, ana realizing that in commit ting their lives to the uncertainties of this great conflict many of the young men have business of legal nature that should now or in the future be looked after. the mem bers of this firm take this oppor- tunity to offer their services gratis, either as a firm or an individual members, to any and all of Lee county's young men who may now or hereafter during the tenure of their service with the government, need legal service of any kind. We wish to further announce that in the ev- ent any lawyer in Lee county volun- ,teers or is called to the colors, we will be glad to look after his business for him during his absence with out any charge for the service.
 This offer is made from deep consciousness of the fact that those of us who remain at home ought to do our utmost to preserve and pro- tect the interests of those who face shot and shell On the battlefields. We trust no soldier will feel back ward in calling upon us in any cap acity, professional or otherwise, in which we can be of service to him.

To stop the world war God would
be forced to kill the kaiser ana his
military cast and perhaps would nave
to go further than that by eliminating
many of the German professors -

a different way of thinking, declared
the Rev. Harvey j. Moore, before the
First Baptist church parishloners sun

But the reason the Creator does not
step in and end the horrors or the
battlefield is because He does not 90
things by physical force, the pastor
said, but confines his efforts TO a
moral status.
Germany Would Rule.
So thoroughly have Germans, prln-
cipally the kaiser, the philosophers
preachers and instructors, become i'm

Scores War Seekers.
The speaker raped the accumulat-
ors of war profits and also asked if
Germany were destroyed for it's sins
could the other nations engaged in
this titanic strife stand up and cry
out that their hands are clean or
stainless. He declared it was neces-
sary for the United States to enter
the war. The pastor cited the cruelty
of the German soldier. as reported on
numerous occasions, but strongly as
serted these crimes are no worse than
those committed on the prairies Of
North Dakota.
Each nation having a part in the
war, Rev. Moore said, should bow
before God and ask His forgiveness.
Before concluding he prayed that
God would bring comfort to the
mothers and fathers Of the boys in
khaki and that He will care for the
American fighters.
