WAR AIMS SET FORTH
Teutons Must Restore Territory
and Make Compensation for
HavocWrought- Jerusalem Will
Never be Restored to Turk.

In the midst Of peace pourparlers
that are in progress between the rep
resentatives of the Teutonic allies and
the Bolsheviki government in Russia,
the war aims of Great Britain and
doubtless of all her allies, have been
concretely set forth in the House Of
Commons by David Lloyd dGeorge, the
British Premier.
The complete restoration Of terri
tory now in the hands of the enemy
and compensation for the havoc they
have wrought is the price that will be
demanded for the laying down of arms
and the bringing about of peace.
Great Britain did not seek territori-
al aggrandizement for herself or for
any of her allies when she entered the
war, Mr.. Lloyd-George said, but en-
tered into the conflict mostly for the
sake of her honor. AS to Germany s
colonies, all of which are now in the
hands of the Entente, Mr.. Lloyd
George said, their disposition must be
determined at the peace congress. Je-
rusalem, however, the Premier declar-
er, would never be restored to the
Turk.
The statement Of the Prime Minis.
ter came almost simultaneously with
report that the Teutonic allies in,
tended to make peace proposals to the
Entente and that Russia had been re-
quested to take similar steps and was
endeavoring to sound her former al
lies in arms as to their requirement.
for cessation Of hostilities.

A Traitor in the Red Cross.

wilmington Dispatch.
It seems there is another German
agent or very strong synlpa tniaer Of
that country posing as patriotic
member Of North Carolina chapter
of the Red Cross.
Our readers remember that a ship
ment of hospital bandages made by
a Red Cross society in central city
Of the State was found to be impreg-
mated with tetanus germs and that a
governess in a certain we'll known
family was supposed to be the guilty
person. A more brutal, fiendish deed
could hardly be imagined.
News comes of another traitor in a
Red Cross society, this time in a wes-
tern city. The ladies Of the society
had knitted ninety-eight sweaters fo1
our soldiers. When the day arrived
for shipping them it was found that
someone had cut every one of them
into shreds. The criminal could have
been no other than a member of The
society. Though a woman, we hope
she will be prosecuted, convicted ane
! given the full limit of punishment tht
law permits. A woman who would d.
such a deedais not deserving of pity
for any punishment no matter how Sc
we're that may be imposed upon her.
The ladies Of the society whose worl
has been brought to naught by so de
spicable an act are deserving of tn
greatest sympathy. So much har,
work made fruitless, and what shoc]
to them all to find they had such
person in their midst associating dali
with them, enjoying their confidenc
and respect.
These two incidents show no,
watchful it is necessary to be in every
thing connected with war prepara
tions. There are German spies an
agents among us who are entirel
without suspicion.

THE FIRE AT sANAToRIUM
Brooks Hall Was the Building
Burned-No Lives Lost andLoss
Aside From Building Was
7 Small-Arrangements Made to
Care for Patients.

CORRESPONDENCE of The Robesonian.
Sanatorium, Dec. 18-A very dis
astrous fire occurred here Sunday
morning about 3. o'clock when first
discovered burning down building
here known as Brooks hall. Some say
the cost of this building was near
$4,000. This building was used on
ly for the men as they were able TO
leave the infirmary, and was near a
quarter Of mile from the main build
ings. This was the first building US
ed here for the infirn1ary, and later
turned into a hall used for men able
to leave the present infirmary. 1t was
called a hall on account OF It's length
and division between rooms, beng
ISL yards from end to end.
The fire is thought to have caught
from the chimney in the lobby.
Every one escaped without person
al harm and saved practically every
thing excepting few beds and cloth,
ing. along with a few other things OF
not very much value. The writer was
about the heaviest personal loser!
amounting to something like S25 OF
very small and different things.
This was a part of the sanatorium
! named after the first doctor here, his
name being DR.. Brooks. There were
about 80 patients here, and the build
/ ing is said to have been partly cover
ed by insurance.
Through Drs. McBrayer's and Nc
| Gains hard work and thoughtfulness
and the kindness Of the ladies, build
ing heretofore used by some 20 ladies
is safely now housing the men, to-
gether with the infirmary, where two
or three were sent. There were also
two or three nearly ready to return
to their homes, and they left yester-
day and today.
It is thought new building neal
the present new infirmary will soor
be built.
