SOCIALISTIC STATE
DECLARED FAILURE

That the socialistic cooperative
commonwealth system has been
proved a failure wherever attempted
was the contention OF Samuel Salo-
man in an address at the "open
forum" meeting of the Washington
Secular League in Pythian Temple
yesterday.
The speaker called attention to
various Socialistic and communistic
experiments in making his argument.
He also dwelt upon conditions In
Russia as exhibiting the sad
spectacle OF Socialistic government" D."
He held that the decentralization of
the Russian army is due to the
spread of Socialistic doctrines among
the soldiers. and that the effect
would be to prolong the war, with
an immense additional cost in life
and treasure.

DENIES RANKS
OF U.S.NAVY
ARE NOW FULL
Men Are Wanted in Various
Branches of the Service,
Officer Declares.

The impression that apparently ha,
spread throughout Washington anc
the nation, that the navy is filed AND
does not need men. was denied last
night by officers in charge OF the
navy recruiting station on Ninth
street, between Pennsylvania avenue
and D northwest.
THE navy is not filled by any
means" an officer declared. "We
want men-as many as we can get
1t is not so that the navy actually
sees no service in this war. Look
at the record of the navy so far.
The first American Of the fight
ing forces of the government who
was killed in the war was a sailor
and a sailor from this city. Washing
ton. Eppolucci was the first man
killed in the war.
"The first man captured in the wal
was a navy man and the first to
fight were men of the navy. Those
who join the naval forces Of the
country will see plenty of action,
and the navy needs men,"
orders went forth from the Navy
Department throughout the country
yesterday for 1000 flremen. The
quota of the District Is forty-two
men. but the recruiting officers hope
to exceed that quota.
An energetic and intelligent man
can rise very rapidly under con-
ditions in the navy today from a
fireman at $3.50, to a warrant ma
chinist at s2,4O0 per year. Men for
this service must be between the ages
of p and IS years. Mess attendants
are wanted at the station, this posi-
ton being open only to negroes.
Cupid added a touch of color to ar
enlistment yesterday. Philip William
White, of 1133 Park place northeast
who had determined to enlist in the
navy was married last Wednesday
and yesterday came to the station
and enlisted as a coppersmith.
These who enlisted in the navy dur
ing the week ending November s.
follow:
John Batemsn France, 91s F street
southwest; Miller Kline Reading,
Nokesville, Va; Earl Richard Jordan.
Daleyille, Va; Joseph Francis Call,
So w street northwest; John Wesley
Wallman, Hickory. N. c.: Fred Her
man Fischer, ISIS North Eighth street
Manitowac, Wis; Rollo Lony Cation

Arthur Richard Lehman, So II street

Negroes who enlisted are: Harry

ALL MEN AT HOME SHOULD
PREPARE FOR WAR.

The first test a man is put thru
for either war or life insurance is
an examination OF his water. This
Is most essential because the kid
neys play a most important part in
causing premature old age and
death. The more injurious the
poisons passing thru the kidneys
the sooner comes decay-so says
DR.. Pierce of Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, n. Y. who further advises
all people who are past thirty to
preserve the vitality of the kidneys
and free the blood from poisonous
elements, such as uric acid-drink
plenty of water-sweat some daily
and take Anuric, double strength,
before meals.
This Au-u-ric Is late discovery
of DR.. Pierce and is put up in tab
let form. and can be obtained at
almost any drug store. For that
backache, lumbago. rheumatism,
rusty" joints, swollen feet or
hands, due to uric acid in the blood,
Anuric quickly dissolves the uric
acid as hot water does sugar. Take

One hundred and twenty-five thou

Capital.
This statement was made last night
by Mai Raymond w. Pullman. sup
erintendent Of police, who personal
ly conducted the city-wide campaign.
in making a resume OF the work
done by the police during the past
week.
Reckless driving In Washington
must be prevented and broken UP and
the cooperation of all citizens is re-
quested in this effort" said Mai.
Pullman. TOO many people are being
killed and injured unnecessarily and
the time has come for each and every
person to do his part in the campaign
for the conservation OF human life, -
he continued.
Mai. Pullman said that he believed
that the average automobile driver is
working TO make the streets safer.
but that those motorists. as well as
pedestrians, who are not considerste
of the rights OF other citizens using
the streets and who violate the law
will receive necessary attention from
the police
. The police will continue the safety
first Campaign which has been con-
Quoted in the public schools for the
past three weeks and which was in
terrupted by the recent theater cam
paign.
Already approximately 10000 chill
dren of the 5000 in the Washington
schools have heard these talks and
it is hoped that before the winter
has passed every child in the schools
will have had that privilege, said
Maj. Pullman.

One Of the best farce comedies writ
ten in recent years was played at the
Opera House Tarboro last night to a
very large and enthusiastic audience.
Though risque in places it is also
screemingly funny, and when it is sta
ted that scenery toook no part III the
play; electrical effects were entirely
absent, and the dresses Of the women
were anything but extravaganza, or
handsome, it is to the credit Of the
cast, six in number, to be able to keep
an audience for two and half hours
convulsed and Interested
Each part was well covered, not q
flaw could be traced in the handling
Of the lines, and the very naturalness
Of each character depicted, Of every
day people we see in large cities, made
the offering all the more acceptable.
A large number of Scotland Neck
and other out Of town patrons were
seen in othe auditorium and quite

You know what that means. It means
that you have to swallow as much OF

stomach won t get lopsided.
You realize as well as we do that if
you get pound Of spinach on the left
side of your little Mary and only half
a pound of mashed potato on the right
side your potato is bound to sag on one
corner.
But there s nothing new about the
balanced ration It old stuff We
can remember, when we We're. a little
boy, seeing our Uncle William intIulg-

may prove Of some value.


In the present emergency an
equitable distribution Of the
States labor supply is essential.
There is grave danger Of a seri-
Gus shortage in farm labor, and
the cooperation Of every citizen
is needed in the effort to induce
the unemployed to take up agrl-
cultural pursuits-a field IN which
the demand for help is generally
far in excess Of the supply. Now
that we are in the throes Of war,
with thousands Of our young men
from both the factory and the
farm existing, the shortage III
farm labor is bound to be still
more keenly felt unless some way
can be found whereby the employ
ers of cities and towns may JOIN
hands with their farmer friends
in the working out Of just and
equitable distribution OF our labor
supply. We all must realize that
bread is just as essential as bull
let's in carrying on war, and

a sufficiency for home consump-
ton, but enough to share with the

in fighting our battles on foreign
fields. -
