Many hints of an unknown "worst' in

outlook, saving definitely that England
had M reason To fear starvation this year

nave found a man more generally accepta-

They could not have found one held III

wears of acquaintance with the appointee
that they could not nave found one more

Ties of the office or one more honorable

Champion has lived all of his life in am

open book that all men might read. lie
has held public office for years before
now. and not a breath of criticism could
ever attach to any of his acts either a

Champion: 1--WE have a title in England
that would fit Mr.. Champion well-ihe

The compliment was fully merited, a
every man who has known Mr.. Champion
will agree.

NO REST FOR GERMANS
Allied Offensive to Continue Through
the Winter

A Canadian paper asserts that hints
have come from the war office that
the British will continue their often
sive all winter The Germans are to
have no rest. 1t is quite possible that
General Haig may decide to strike out
for Menin and Roulers, but that in
wolves progress over low, DOGGY land
in which the Germans were better left
mired over winter. The British front
at the end of the 1917 season is so ut
terly improved over what it was at the
end of 1916 that the British army is
justly entitled to claim an enormous
victory, prying the whole German de-
tense system loose.
Perhaps the German high command
will undertake another victorious" re-
treat, resembling the Bapaume-P Per-
onne evacuation, before next seasons
campaign begins. But if that move is
undertaken, under present strategical
conditions, it is liable to involve the
German lines in tremendous disaster.
The strength of the German army has
been tested by the Ypres battle. 1t

Historic Charlotte

Charlotte, the city which is to be
the transient home of the Western
troops, is a historic community, cele-
brated for the most part by reason of
the fact that it was here that the First
Declaration of independence was ex
ecuted. Patriots of Mecklenburg, the
county of which Charlotte is the seat,
gathered on spot now the central
site of the city, marked by the inter-
section of its two principal streets,
and without awaiting the later action
in Philadelphia, signed document in
behalf of British independence, which
has become historic, on May 10th,
1776. This date is annually celebrated
DIV the State, with Charlotte staging
it's most monumental pageant. Presi-
dents Roosevelt and Taft, Vice-Pre-
sident Marshall and President Wilson
have all been the distinguished guests
of honor on the occasions of these
celebrations, President Wilson having
made the principal address and being
the central figure in the celebration on
May goth, 1916.
Charlotte is, moreover, the metro
polls of North Carolina. It's popula-
ton is $4,000 and it is the most IA
vored of all Carolina cities in many
activities, notably that of cotton man
ufacting. Within radius of so miles
of Charlotte are 400 cotton mills with
a payroll of $3O,0OO,OOO a year and
having over 100000 employees. Its
own principal industry is cotton man
ufacture and the manufacture of by
products of cotton. 1t is the main
center of the Carolinas
being State headquarters for more
distributing agencies than
any other city in the two States. Its
are office buildings ten
anted by representatives of Northern
and Eastern firms and corporations
whose range of activities is overNorth
and South Carolina, the Southern
branches of these institutions being
conferred here.
The aggregate cost of the canton
ment when it shall have been made
ready for the troops will be between
100000 and S2,5OO,000. There will
be an aggregate of nearly 1000 build
ing of wooden construction, in addi
ton to thousands of tents. The wood !
en- structures are barracks, mess halls,
hospitals, officers headquarters and
every other essential of a city for an
army numbering $4,000 men.
In addition to this central camp or
cantonment center, there will be other /
locations for specific divisions of this
vast array of guardsmen. There will
be an aviation field of hundreds of
acres a remount station of equal
acre, rifle range, artillery range, I
this latter having as its object Kings
Mountain of revolutionary fame. 1t is
approximately Is miles distant from
the main cantonment.
The aviation squad will number
$500 airmen with half that number of
machines. This will be stationed east
Of the city.
There will be 10000 horses in the
division and another site will

lion of these.
