GERMAN GOLD USED IN
AMERICA

Professor Douglass w. johnson of
Columbia University, New York, has
addressed letter to a German pro-
fesSor who had. written him, and it
is hot Stuph. 1t makes pamphlet
of many pages. One part of it is
interesting, as it conveys some news
not generally known. Prof. johnson
says our detectives estimate that the
Germans have spent tWenty-seven
million dollars in gold i'm this coun-
try alone in order to influence the
American people against the allies.
This vast sum of money, he Says,
was used to buy newspapers. edito-
erials, billboard adxertiaing, all kinds
of publicity. Twenty seven million
dollars! What a great sum to secret
ly pour out to obtain publicity. He
says.
Our Government has had to en-
ploy a special detective force to dis
cover and destroy the many plots
in which German and Austrian gold
has been lavishly used to influence
opinion and action in America, and
from other neutral countries comes
abundant evidence that the same
stupendous propaganda, to turn
opinion and action in favor of Ger
many, has been carried on every
where, with an audacity and utter
disregard of cost which has aston
ished the world"
1t does astonish the world to know
that such means have been used.
Many of the newspapers have sold
page after page of advertising, and
many others have printed column
after column of pro German articles
appearing as special correspon-
dent" but all done in violation of
law, because not marked advertise
ment. However, the publicity bu-
reau has about run its course. Pa
triotic Americans are not standing
for such stuff, and, while it pays to
advertise, it doesn't pay to advertise
Germany in the United States. There
was a time when made in Ger
many stood for much on this con-
tinent, but never again. The people
are aroused, and in a short time the
genuine American thrill will be on.
But when one thinks that twenty
seven million dollars were used for
publicity it may be more easily un-
derstood why America was appar-
emily lukewarm for SO long.-Every-
thing.

CHARGED WITH KISSING SAL.
WALTON LASSlE.

Tuesday morning a warrant was
served on Jake Beronsky, proprietor
OF a tailoring establishment on South
Main street, for an assault upon a
young lady of the Salvation Army.
He was given his liberty after secur-
Ing 5000 bond for his appearance
at trial the next day. 1t is alleged
that Beronsky pulled The Salvation
lassie to him and imprinted kisses
upon her fair face before the young
lady could withdraw and give him
a biff over the face. 1t seems that
ste was on her rounds gathering in
the shining dimes for Salvation
Army Tag day; that Beronsky bought
one and was pinned on his person,
Whereupcn he asked if she was 60
ing to tell him goodbye. When her
hand was extended-then the fatal
step was taken, hence the warran'.
The young lady came here from
Salisbury to help in the work yes

reputation as far as known

Big Machine Shop Planned.

Local parties will organize soon
to conduct a foundry and general
machine and repair shop and make
the plant second to none in general
efficiency, if the plans now being
considered do not miscarry. 1t is
said that High Point is badly in
need of just such a plant where the
people can get service at reason
able price. The business will event.
ually assume larger proportions, the
company carrying a general line of
hardware and machinery. Those be-
hInd the proposition are fully able
and competent to do a successful
business.

COMPANY M NEEDS YOU.

Lieutenant Welch says he needs
SO more men for Company M to
bring the company up to the re-
quired number. At present he has
103 and he should have 153, or
more for good measure. The re-
quired strength is IA. At one time
he was near the mark but some Is
or 80 have been discharged on ac-
count of having been married before
war was declared and otherwise.
Lieutenant Welch is expecting to re-
ceive waiting orders by the 18th.
It's the best chance for the young
man to join a home company and
thus serve with his own people,
whereas when drafted the soldiers
will be placed here and there. Join
Company M new; it's the best thing
to do, young man.

SPORTY BLACKBERRY PICKING

That was quite a sporty crowd of
blackberry pickerS the other after
noon at David WeIborn's, one of the
men in Palm Beach and Panama
hat, the ladies in silk dresses and
white slippers, etc. But the fact of
the business is they did not make
the trip TO get blackberries, but in
walking out on the farm after the
rain, discovered a fine patch of ber-
ries along the road and they were
so tempting that in little while
buckets were secured and nearly
two gallons picked. No, we will not
mention names this time nor tell of
the nights afterwards when chieeers
kept them awake, making little red
bumps on their bodies. However,
all such goes in life, anyway.

Their casualty rate will be 100 per cent.
Because of widespread rabies in Con

west of the Connecticut river stray
dogs are to be impounded. If not

are to be sent to Prof. Yandell Hender-
son at the Yale Medical school.
Prof Henderson is about to expert
ment with a new poisonous gas, which
he believes will be much more deadly
than the chlorine vapor used by the
Germans. Hundreds of vagrant dogs
are on their way to become the victim,
of the gas experiments. State official:
agree that if the dogs must be killed i
is better that their deaths be of hene
lit to the nation.
Prof. Henderson admits he is work
