A Privilege TO Assist in a
Great Cause

An effort has begun to uniform
the Confederate Veterans Of HisI
eant so that they may proudly
wear their beloved grey at the re.
union in Washington City next June
1t will take some 500. 90 to do it
but the people of High Point should
reel It 9 great privilege to be allow
ca to give to this noble cause. The
veterans did so much for us in the
long ago, surely We can do a little
for them now. 1t is not: charity,
God forbid that this shall ever be,
but blessed privilege offered to
make their hearts glad. The suits
and hats will cost approximately $40
for both. Two pledges had already
been made before. the proposition
was started.
W. L. Stamey, one suit. $1,000
Fred N. Tate. 900. go. :. $1,000
By next week we expect to see the
amount desired secured. Any con-
tribution, will of course be accepted
There should be several citizens to
give $50, $25 and $40 each.

FREELY. FOR DEFENSE. SAYS
ADMIRAL PEARY

Baltimore, Nd, March 13.-Rear
Admiral PcaHy in an. address here
today at a preparedness meeting
for children declared that the United
States must spend energy, brains
and money generously ON its defense
or it would find with war on its
hands host of aeroplanes sailing
over the seaboard cities dropping
bombs.
He said that in few months three
ships entered Hampton Roads with
out any hint being given of their
coming. The Appan, smallest of
the three, he said, could easily have
housed a squadron of aeroplaneS
and each aeroplane could easily have
carried a thousand pounds of ex-
plosiveS. -> -.
Cardinal Gibbons, whO also spoke,
said:
Il want every boy here to be 100
per cent patriotic, so that whenever
an emergency comes you will be
ready to stand up for the dignity
and honor of your country and hold
back at no sacrifice in maintaining
the rights of the greatest land ON
earth"

LATE ITEMS OF INTEREST

A plot to blow up the New Jersey
reservoir at Boonton by, Germans
was unearthed yesterday. The res
ervoir holds seven billion gallons OF
water and in the valley below are a
number of munition. plants. Two
men, former German attaches, are
suspected.
The railroad brotherhoods will call
strike soon if they do not get
what they ask for. The people have
had some little sympathy for the
railroad employees in their under
takings but will lose this if they now
attempt to tie up the country, dur
ing a national crisis, and a scarcity
of foodstuffs and feedstuffs, owing
to strikes, congestion of freight, etc
The president should take an empha-
tic stand, since the brotherhoods
seems not to appreciate what he
has already done for them. 1t is
no time to force strike and if the
organization is as patriotic as it
claims, twill not.

Night

j Quite an interesting meetins of

the amendments.
Gilbert Clark was made chairman
and Walter L., Hepler, secretary.

ing his seat.Immediately Robt Brock
EFT arose andl paid his respects to
the late city council, the ex-mayor,
the part Brockett took in placing
the present plan of government on
the city, bringing in the hog pen
question as in issue, ETC., but the
majority of tie people there were
for harmony, and they showed it
when ex-Mayor Tate arose and said
he thouehtitluseless to reply to such
statements made by Mr.. Brockett,
and he was willing to let the people
judge, and they showed their ap-
proval when he took his seat, with
q laundering applause.
w. P. Ragan made rattling good
speech, abounding with: wit and a
spirit of optimism, ending with the
declaration that he would vote for
the amendments because he favored

the people to vote their sentiments.

MAKING A MOUNTAIN OUT OF
A MOLE HILL

The outsider and those not fami-
liar with conditions here would be
lead to believe, by reading outside
accounts that the City of High
Point was in a terrible political mix
up. These accounts give the wrong
impression. In fact there is very
little excitement and very little
wraneling and this all comes from
one source. The people are not
worrying and they cannot help that
a person will now and then bob up
and try to stir up trouble but this
shouldn't speak for the city as a
whole. The people are tired of such

These facts were brought to light
last evening when Durham's grand
parents from Mechanicsburg came to
Marshal Smiths office and explained
their case. They said Durham was
only a boy and had never before been
many miles from Mechanicsburg.
Durham was arrested Monday at
the Pennsylvania Station after he had
attracted a great deal of attention by
his wild stories. Durham claimed that
he was 20 years old and married.
When asked to show his registration
card he was unable to do so and was
arrested. He was remanded to the

HUNGARY WOULD
HAVE PEACE
Premier Expresses Desire to
End War Without Great
Victory

Amsterdam. Sept. 14.-Dr. Alex
ander Wekerle, the Hungarian pre-
mier. expounded the governments
program at a meeting of the Hun
garian chamber on Tuesday, says a
Budapest dispatch. The premier in
his exposition said he advocated the
same principles regarding the suf-
frage as did his immediate predeces-
sor, adding that If it proved impos-
sible to. carry out electoral reform
with the present chamber the gov
ernment would order new elections.
The foreign policy remained en-
trely unchanged, said the premier,
and he emphasized the complete
agreement existing between himself
and the foreign minister. He con-
tinued:
The foundation stones of our for
eign policy are our allegiance to our
allies and cooperation with them in
all respects. We are united not only
in the defensive war which was
thrust upon us, but also as to it's final
aim, namely, the harmonious joint
conclusion of suitable lasting peace.
We were first in agreement with
the German empire openly to express
our entire readiness to conclude such
peace. This readiness of ours was
solemnly confirmed by the peace res
olution of the German Reichstag,
which was made in agreement with
the imperial German government, as
well as by the official statement
which our foreign minister made
public on July II. We even gave
broad outline of the conditions of an
understanding by declaring that our
defensive war is not aimed at any
conquest whatever; that we oppose
an economic war between the ma
tions and that We are striving for
suitable, lasting peace which will not
be detrimental to our interests, and
to avoid the recurrence of war.
We even consider it desirable that
brute force of arms in international
relationship should be replaced by a
moral empire of right. We recently
also accorded grateful recognition to
the Holy Fathers efforts which have
this aim in view.
Our extreme readiness can natur-
ally meet with success only If it
meets with desirable recognition in
the enemy's camp. Failing this recog-
milton, we will wage war to the ut
most, conscious of our strength and
with our troops, thereby securing in
the future not only our vital inter-
ests, but also the blessings of a last
ing peace and a mutual understand
ing.

SHE LAUNCHES SEAPLANES
AND SHE'S UNSUITABLE

John L. Bogert, mechanical and
consulting engineer of New York
City, has designed what seems to us
the most practical and brilliant plan
thus far proposed for coping with
the problem of detecting submarines
as well as increasing the possible
applications of the seaplane in rough
weather. We doubt whether subma-
rineS can be detected under water
except in the most favorable condi-
tions, but apart from that Mr.. Bo-
gerts plan has genuine merit.
Like an eagle, says Popular
Science Monthly, an airplane must
be in motion before it can fly. 1t
must run along the ground or the
water until it gathers momentum.
Since it is impossible to gather speed
in rough water, Mr.. Bogert proposes
first of all to eliminate the super
structures and deck houses found on
every ship.
Since the airplane must have a
long run, the ship is $50 feet long.
Toward the bow, the runaway rises
so as to provide a good take-off for
the airplane. Beneath the take-off
is the pilot house.
1t is possible for a skilful aviator
to land on the deck of Mr.. Bogerts s
vessel. But it is more likelR that he
would prefer to alight in water
Should he do so, a crane will hoist
him on board.
