Does War Mean Socialism After All?

From Hearts Magazine for May.
Germany, the most aristocratic
and autocratic of all governments, has
set the pace in having the government
take over complete control of indus
tries previously handled by private
interests, and England and France
have followed this example," declares
one financier in an important con-
fession of economic faith in Hearst s
Magazine.
"The first thing England did was
to take over the running of the rail-
roads, guaranteeing the maintenance
ofthe current dividend rates. She
has now placed her coal-mines under
governmental control; the Govern
ment has become partner in the
production of chemicals on a large
scale; the law is laid down with an
iron hand to shipping companies and
there is hardly an industry in which
the government has not a hand. The
Government has also fixed wages in
many lines, including agriculture. II

MILL EMPLOYEES ARE GRATEFUL
Splendid Gift From Mill Management
of Ten Per Cent of Wages for Three
Months and Spirit Which Prompt
ed 1t Highly Appreciated


To the Editor of The Robesonian:
At the request Of some of the East
Lumberton cotton mill operatives, I
write to tell your readers what nice
treat they all received today from the
management of the Lumberton and
Dresden mills. suppose, of course,
the folks at the Jennings received
the same surprise.
Each operative from superintendent
down that had stayed with the mills
received an extra check amounting
to ten per cent of all their pay since
January first, up to April 1st.
A hand who had made full time at
$1.50 per day, received a check for
over $1,000. Some received twice
that amount and more-and that a
complete surprise.
But better than all, that prince of
cotton mill men, Mr.. Jennings, was
kind enough to write to every one a
letter stating that it was on account
of the faithfulness, honesty and in
dustry of the workers, that the mills
were enabled to do as above stated.
He stated that CAT no time in the
history of our mill has the quality
of our product been better than to-
day. We do not have to guess why
the credit belongs to each individ-
ual worker, from the general super
intendent to the doffing boys. All
have been faithful and Industrious
He says, "I have asked and received
the consent of the directors to make
you this present"
l wish to say that while 1 did moi
have the pleasure of being one of the
lucky ones, was present and saw
them receiving their nice checks with
the letter of praise, and l rejoice
with them, for it certainly was time
of rejoicing.
: The extra pay was good as coult
!. be, but the grandest things to me
We're the good things said about thu
operatives and the spirit that prompt
ed them.
/ Think of the mills freely, gratui
| tiously, and unexpectedly, giving hun
{ creds, yea, I daresay thousands, O.
!, dollars in this way! All praise t.
) the mills.

Non-Commissioned Rank
Wilmington Star.
From Lumberton comes the news
that number of technically train
ed young men are needed by the Will
mington engineers, now doing guard
duty near the Robson capital. Cap
tain George Gillette, commanding the
company, writes that he has been
forced to stop enlisting any but men
with military qualifications and that
there are number of desirable va
vancies existing in the non-commis-
stoned ranks for men possessing these
qualifications.
According to Captain Gillette, there
are at present vacancies for a first
sergeant, two first class sergeants
four sergeants and six corporals. II
will be impossible to fill these places
until men of technical experience are
secured and for that reason the Of
ficers are particularly anxious to Sc
cure the men as soon as possible.
The engineers corps of the army
offers most attractive opportunitie!
for young men and no. one who de-
sires military experience that will
be of lasting benefit to him, will make

ltary training offered, he will have
splendid opportunity to broaden hi!

Raleigh, April 27-The Statewide
campaign for increasing the food and
feed acreage and production is be-
ginning to have some visible results,
according to John Paul Lucas, ex-
ecutive secretary of the North Caro-
lima Food Conservation commission.
All possible agencies are being mob
ilized to meet the situation and to-
day the following letter went out to
the commercial organizations in the
State:
"a number of commercial bodies
in North Carolina have been quick
to see and act upon the necessity for
very greatly increasing the produc-
ton Of food and feed stuffs in the
State and section during the present
year. The commercial bodies of the
State, constituted as they are by
wide-awake and aggressive business
and professional men, should very
naturally assume a leading position
in the campaign for increased pro-
-duction.
"a vast number of our people, hav-
ing always been able to buy what
they needed, are slow to realize that
there may come time when, no mat
ter how much money they nave, they
may not be able to buy. If the war
continues-and it seems certain that
we will have close to year Of wal
the food and feed stuffs which the
South has been importing from other
sections will absolutely not be avail
able for this section, no matter how
much money we may have to offer
for it. If the war should cease with.
in a month, every pound of surplus
food and feed stuffs we can produce
this year will be needed by the ex-
hausted continent of Europe.
Gall authorities are agreed that the
most effective means we have OF
bringing Germany to terms is to sup
ply our Allies with food and military
supplies. Military necessity is thu
first consideration of a people at war
and the armies of Europe, million:
strong, must be supplied, even a
the cost of hunger and suffering a
home.
"Local conditions and circumstanc
es must determine what your par
ticular organization can do. It seem
to me, however, that the Commercial
bodies in cities and towns that hav
them, can do very effective work il
getting urder cultivation the vacan
land in and adjacent to their respec
tive towns. There are large area
of vacant lands in or adjoining al
