PREss PATRIOTISM.

The conditions of the day have i'm.
posed duties Of peculiar power and
responsibility upon the editors and
publishers OF the United States
1t is for the makers OF news
papers to decide whether public opin-
ion shall be directed into straight
ways OF ardor, enthusiasm and SER
vice, or whether pnblic opinion shall
be concerned only with the mean, the
trivial and the ignoble.
AS never before, people are de-
pendent upon the printed word for
the Information upon which their
thought is based.
What am asking, what is asked
by all who have TO do with the hon
or and safety OF America, Is that this
printed word shall carry courage
and inspiration, ringing through the
nation like some great clarion, ar
ousing the people to the necessity
of service and sacrifice.
1t is not uncritical support that
lis demanded or even suggested.
No official must be exempted or
from proper criticism for it is nece.t
sary and wholesome corrective.
America has it's faults, but Ameri-
lea also has its virtues Is it not
possible to put future, emphasis
upon upon efforts, achievements and
resources, building up the confidence
and pride and patriotism Of the peo-
pie?
Have we not had enough of the
insult and abuse that paints us
as a nation OF unfits misfits incom-
petents, poItroons and money man
iacs?
On every hand there is proof that
the spirit OF Concord, she fortitude
OF Valley Forge are not dead in
the land. II is not wise to foster,
this spirit instead OF destroying
it?
The opportunity Of the press for nat
ional service was never so tremen-
dous and this very tremendousness
carries solemn obligations with it.
There is not a publisher or editor
today who may consider himself less
than the guardian Of Americas hon
or, less than the custodian OF
patriotism.
! rejoice with you in your opport-
unity. for know that you will avail
yourselves OF 1t in all perfection,
rearing noble standards to which the
whole people may repair.

SERVE YOUR COUNTRY NOW

The most valuable service that
those unable to enlist themselves can
perform at the present time is to get
men enlisted in the navy. While II
is important to get men for other
branches OF the service, the need
of the navy for enlistment Is imnie
date. Owing TO the shortage OF OF.
ticers and men OF the regular navy
1t is physical impossiblity for the
navy to recruit the men needed with
tho required speed. 1t ia impossi
BILE for the navy department to fur
nlsh literature, posters, etc, as the
occasion demands, 1t is therefore
necessary that thousands OF patriot
ie people who wish to help their coun-
try at the present time take steps to
obtain men FOR the navy.
Doctors can render valuable assist
ance by volunteering to conduct
examinations at the home of the
applicant.
The following plan is suggested for
any given locality:

persons to form recruiting parties,

CD Send applicants passing the
laphysicial examination to the nearest
navy recruiting station. Provision
should be made for the return OF
the applicant to his home in case
he does not pass the examination at
the recruiting station.

WHY NOT A RED CROSS
CHAPTER?

Scotland Neck, including the
memebrs from Hobgood, has 173
members Of the local Red Cross,
and the IDEAL branch is known as
an auxiliary Of Weldon, because
the number has not yet reached
200, the minimum membership
that can apply for recognition as
a chapter.
It is therefore essential, if we
would hold our own against COM
petlng districts, to bestir OUR
selves and obtain the additional
members and at once apply for
recognition as a chapter, then we
can draw into our fold the sur
rounding towns Of Palmyra,
Spring Hill, Tillery and Hobgood.
Taking for granted that we will
obtain the new members, and that
Scotland Neck will have a chap
ter membership in the Red Cross
the next thing essential is organi-
zatlon, for Red Cross work, as
with everything else depends
very largely upon organization
and leadership.
What is the best makeup Of an
ideal chapter? Let us go to the
fountain head to find out. What
do the Red Cross leaders say
about it? The best advice the
Red Cross headquarters can give
IS that the chairman should be an
active live wire business man.
One that is embued with the spirit
OF service and one that also real
ICES that the Red Cross organiza-
ton is purely a self-sacrifcing
body, where the golden rule is
more nearly followed than in any
large organization in the world.
Let that man come forward vol
unfairly and freely and give his
best to the work Of the local Red
Cross.
The next in order for an ideal
Red Cross chapter is the vice-pres-
1dent who should be a woman.
and one that will work in harm

ony with the president, and, III
his absence, take his place, look
ing always forward to the great
goal set for those who have the
well-being Of their fellows, and
their community, at heart.
Secretaries are as essential as
the heads Of the body, and two
will be none too many to conduct
the affairs of successful CHAPTER:
These are the recording and cor
responding secretaries, who, if
they too realize their important
positions in leading others in the
way they themselves are determ-
ined to 90, will be as large fac
tors in the work as their super
Tor officers. These secretaries
should be women.
The other officer is the treas
urer, who handles and disburses
the funds, who should be banker
in the town, and being thus a
heading man in the community
would be invaluable as adviser.
Having completed the organi-
cation there are numerous COM
mittees in which all can do their
part, for instance, membership,
publicity, finance, extension, work
room, surgical dressings, hospi-
tai supplies, knitting, buying Of
supplies, educational, first aid, by
gene, entertainment, civilian re-
lief and, last but by no means
least, junior work.
With this as synopsis it is
readily seen how great is the work
and above all that it is self-deny-
ing, that none will feel, if they
do their part by the Red Cross,
they are not doing their "bit'' in
the war, but the one crucial point
is that we all must go at it with
a will and make this local body
the strong organization it was in
tended to be.
A meeting has been called for
Friday afternoon next at three
O'Clock and it is hoped that a
large crowd will be in attendance
and thus register, by their pres
ence, their desire to- accomplish
something of the good work that
is going on all over the country.

Real Story of Reel
Life Under the Sea
Secrets of Submarine Motion
Picture Revealed in
Court

The second instalment Of testimony
showing the inner workings Of an un-
dersca movie thriller was presented in
the Federal Court Yesterday by Ernest
J. Williamson. motion picture pho
tographer, who made the picture OF
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the
Sea-"
He is suing the Universal Film Cor
poration for breach of contract. His
narrative of the properties used some
fifty feet under surface in the clear
waters of the Bahamas attracted much
attention from Judge Manton and the
Jury that is soon TO decide the case.
Williamson said that Captain Ne
mos" submarine was made Of canvas
and was foated by three air tanks. A
little submarine also used in the pict-
ure was of similar construction and
was equipped with air locks, which
enabled two divers to operate the pro-
peller and rudder.
The terrible octopus which in the
film strangled the divers was described
by Williamson as a prop fish which
contained two men, who operated its
rubber hose tentacles by means OF steel
springs. The real ish, he said. was
equipped with eight legs or feelers, but
the reel one had only six. The only
real objects used in the production, &C
cording to the witness, were the yacht
Leando, which was blown up, and the
sharks which fought the divers.

that they would witness an eleventh
hour nare-up as the board attempted
to rush through measures to embarrass
the incoming Tammany administration.
Every important move that might
have been looked upon as rush meas
ure" of the outgoing administration
was held up pending the reorganiza-
tion Of the board. Among such meas
ures was the proposed authorization
for the purchase Of the school site at
Stoddard Place and Sullivan Street,
Brooklyn, that members of the new
Board Of Estimate had objected to at
an informal meeting last Tuesday.
President Bowling asked that the
scheduled condemnation proceedings
preliminary to the purchase Of the
property be put over until after Janu-

Meier Steinbrink, attorney for William

Senator Reynolds had any interest In it.
