The Young Race of North Carolina
Should he Careful

The Young Race OF North CarOllna
Should be Careful
To the Editor Of The Robesonian:
I have often thought of the young
race of N. C. There is lots of things
the young race leaves off. 1t is sad
to see how the young race is letting
opportunity pass by. Just look at
th,: boys ard girls arc wasting their
time away, nature is leading them
to destruction. The Holy Spirit and
nature reminds me of two men pull
ing on one mule and one outpull the
other and goes the contrary course:
Nature works on the young race and
overpowers them. I think the par
ents of N. C. should look after the
young race. We should take advant-
age Of opportunity. We ought to do
what we can for our race to save
them from destruction, for life is
passing by and youth will soon be
gone or the night of death NAV over
take US. Many little ones, we re-
member, who once stood where we
now stand; many faces beaming with
love and expectation as they stood
before YOU on an occasion like this;
but today they loo. on us, but it
seems they have crossed the narrow
river and have entered the gate to
that Beautiful City and we are left
to follow. We should not forget that
life with us must close as sudden,
and We hope to live so when we die
we may gain the blest above, that
Jesus may love US and make us his

U. S. May Have to Furnish Allies
$685. 100000 a Month

Washington Dispatch, April 26.
Preliminary reports to the Treas
ury Department upon which Secre-
tary McAdoo will base his recon-
mendations to the President as to the
size of the first bond issue under the
s7,OOO,OOO, war finance law, in
dicate that the United States will
be called upon to finance the Allies
to the extent Of at least $4OO, 100000
and possibly $5OO,OOO,OO0 a month.
The tentative program also calls
for the expenditure Of virtually ev-
cry dollar Of the borrowed money in
this country for foo!stuffs, niuni-
tions, coal and other supplies.
The estimates indicate the follow
ing Entente needs:
For Great Britain, $2O0,0OO,OOO to
S250,OO0,OOO a month; for France
from $100,000,000 to S125,00O,00O; for
Russia a sum undetermined, but up
to S100,00O,000 month; and for It.
ally, about $50,000,000 a month
Under these requirements the s3,-
OOO,OOO,OOO available for lending the
Allies would be exhausted in from
six to seven and one-half months. II
is likely, however, that the prelim.
mary estimates can be pared dowr
SO that the huge loan could be made
to cover possibly one year.

GERMANY WOULD
HAVE ATTACKED u. s

Regardless of Whether America En-
tered the War-Eet No Man Be-
ieve That This is Not His War
New York Dispatch, April 26.
James w. Gerard, formerly Ameri-
can Ambassador to Germany. ap-I
pealed tonight to the entire country
TO stand by President Wilson and to
urge Congress to pass the administra-
ton bill for universal, obligatory mil
ltafy service. He declared that he
knew that if Germany had won eth
er draw or victory in the war, she
would have attacked che United
States, regardless of whether Amer
lea had entered the war; Mr.. Gerard
was speaking at the annual dinner
OF the American Newspaper Publish
ers' Association. He said:
Let no man, be he rich or poor, la
Dorer, farmer, miner, manufacturer,
business man, or whatsoever his oc-
cupatlon, or in what interior part of
the country he may live, believe that
this is not his war. The lives and
safety Of himself and his family and
the preservation of his property and
the right to enjo-- the fruits of his
labor or industry depend upon its
successful outcome. There is no out
rage that would not be perpetrated
upon US if we lost; and no citizen
or section would be immune.
I'VE are at war with a govern
ment possessing the greatest military
machine the world has ever seen, and
which believes Irrespective of Amer
lean opinion on the subject) not on
ly that the only effective way te
wage modern war is by universal
obligatory military service, but that
force is the only thing to be regard
ed.
''To adopt at the outset universa
obligatory military service would b,
to deal the morale OF our enemies
staggering blow and demonstrate a
the outset that we are in this wa
to win.
"And do not forget that to dea
this blow at once may save counties
American lives.
"On the other hand, to hesitate, t
discuss, to dispute, or to reject uni
versal service and adopt the voluntee
system is to give aid and comfort t
the enemy by convincing him. that W
are not in earnest.
"The President made every effor
! to keep the peace, but peace or any
thing else in this world is worth moth
ing if bought or kept at the price Q
| honor.
| "The German military caste hat
the very name of America. I kno'
that if we had remained out of thi
war we would have been attacked b
| Germany if the war had then ende
in either draw or a German vii
| tory"
II In conclusion he said: "Knowin
| the mind and might Of Germany {
| I have for the past two and ha
! years, appeal to the entire countr
not only as a patriotic duty but {
an absolutely necessary measure
| self-preservation, to stand by Il

Don't bother to prepare the mix

recipe improved by the addition Of
other ingredients at a small cost, all
ready for use. It Is called Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound. This can
always be depended upon to bring

You simply dampen a sponge or soft
brush with It and draw this through
the hair, taking n small strand at a
time: by morning the gray hair has
disappeared, and after another appii-
cation 1t becomes beautifully dark and
appears glossy and ;l%ustrous. This
