Actors as Soldiers.
In all wars where they have been
participants, actors have been valiant
soldiers. 1t has been said, with what
accuracy need not be asked, that
more British actors have been SOL
diers, and that more are now at the
front, than from any other country.
Il would be nothing strange if this
were correct. There are more British
actors than there are American or
French. The British actor has al
ways had fighting trait.
The American actor was heard
from in the war between the North
and South in the sixties, and always
with credit. II is said that. many
American actors are now in London
and the provinces. Our Ambassador
at st. James has made a special ap-
peal to them to report to the EN-
bsssy for service, and it has been
suggested that they and the British
actors who are already in the field,
and those who are expected to enlist,
be formed into separate arm of the
Sighting forces.
We assume that there are British
actors in the United States who are
subject to call to colors. These
might be amalgamated with Ameri-
can actors who have enlisted, or who
may enlist. Such an arrangement.
we believe, would necessitate the
szsetion of the two governments. II

advocated by Governor Beckett, Gov

The plan is based on the Farm Loan

York has a bonded Indebtedness OF
S162,0O0,O0O with a per capita tax
five times that Of ours, and yet both
| of these States have credit just o.
good as that of North Carolina.
This system pays for itself in
that it not only creates a striking
furd that retires the bonds, but al
so has an extra surplus of $500 pei

extra one per cent. This of course
