RALLY HERE
Mrs. Chas. R. Emry, Of Weldon,
and Hon. Ta,ker Polk, Of
Warrenton, Address Nam.
moth Audience in High
School Auditorium
TO OFORMREDCROSSBRANCHHE HERE

The pent-up patriotism of the
community found outlet for ex-
preston on last Tuesday evening,
when it packed the big school
auditorium to hear voiced the
duties of our citizens in the great
conflict now impending. 1t was
rather a quiet audience, not SUBJ
ject to loud demonstrations, but
deep earnestness underlaid the
enthusiasm of speakers and
audience.
The occasion was the organi-
zation of a branch here of the
American Red Cross and a pro-
gram adapted to this end was
carried through. The Rosemary
Concert Band furnished music
for the occasion, effectively
rendering the patriotic airs of
the United States and its allies.
After the invocation by the
Rev. Stanley White, of the Roam
oke Rapids Presbyterian Church,
Hon. W. L. Long announced that
DR.. T. W. M. Long, who had
been slated to give an address in
explanation of the Red Cross
work, had been detained by pro-
fessional duties which could
not be ignored, and that Mrs.
Chas. R. Emery, of Weldon,
would address the audience in
his stead.
Mrs. Emry, who has the
distinction of being the firsl
woman who has addressed an
audience in our community, ex-
planned the Red Cross work in
its origin, methods, and purpose.
Mrs. Emry spoke most enter
tainingly and appealingly of the
work being done by this patriotic
and benevolent institution and
urged the formation of a branch
of the Red Cross in this commu-
nifty.
Hon. Tasker Poker, of War
renton, following an eloquent
introduction by Hon. w. L. Long
delivered an inspiringly patrio-
tic grafton. Mr.. Polk is an orator
of extraordinary ability and he
held his audience from start to
finish. He appealed to every
patriotic instinct in his hearers
and brought frequent applaudes.
Under the direction of Scout
Master l.. S. Mosher, a squad of
the Boy Scouts demonstrated
their efficiency by executing a
number of drill formations on the
stage with a precision which
would have done credit to a reg
ular military squad.
The benediction was pro-
nounced by Rev. C. H. Trueblood,
of the Baptist Church, the audi
ence remaining standing while
the Junior O. U. A. NJ, with
colors flying, marched out of the
auditorium in a body.

stood half minute at the rear of the nall and then walked out. There was not cheer, not handclasp, not shout of welcome home to the now very dis tinguished junior senator from Missis- sippi, and his friends are making out they wonder how it came to pass
 Three or four years ago nearly every man in that hall would have thrown his hat in the air, shouted himself hoarse. and perhaps jumped on top of his desk There would have been cheering calcu- lated to shake the rafters and raise the roof, and the Big White Chief would never have been permitted to retire with out making a speech. But he went this time, and no doubt he carries in his heart a photograph of the cold reception that was accorded him in the house of his old-time friends. It is possible they are yet but they never gave any evidence of that fact, and the senator looked crestfallen as he walked out of the big hall all alone
 It is known that a number of mem- bers of the legislature who used to swear by Vardaman have changed dur ing the past three or four months be- cause of the way he has performed at Washington, but there are yet many who swear by him regardless ot the stumbling blocks he has placed in the path of the President This same legislature has passed a concurrent resolution indorsng President Wilson in all he has done by almost unanimous vote and sent Sen ator Vardaman a copy of same. No doubt he thought about it when he left the floor of the house, "unwept, unhonored and unsung," as it were.

Beg Pardon," Says Hun to Sw ede Following
 Luxburg Slap in Face


 Stockholm, October 13.-The Swedish foreign office has received the German reply to it's inquiry regarding the ac- tion of Count Karl Won Luxburg while he was German minister to Argentina in sending messages through the Swedish legation regarding 'the sinking without trace of Argentine vessels. Germany expressed regrets last month and prom ised fuller statement later The answer now forwarded confirms the arrival in Berlin of the Luxburg cablegrams as pub- lshed, although one of them was mutt lated at an essential point
 The German government states 1t IS unable to make declaration regarding the authenticity of the dispatches, as no confirmatory correspondence. has taken place with Won Luxberg. The telegrams are said to have had no effect on the submarine war. The government deplores the fact that they were dispatched and that Won Luxberg employed and extended the facilities granted by the Swedish au- thorities in a manner which might have been construed as abuse of them.
 Assurance Is given that incidents cal- culated to disturb the friendly relations between Germany and Sweden will not occur again.

BRAVE QUEEN 0F RUMAN|A THANKS
 AMERICA FOR AID
Our Hearts Are Warmed by Gratitude and We Will Fight On,"
 She Says

Jassy, Rumania, Tuesday. October g.. Queen Maria of Rumania today asked the Associated Press to convey her thanks to the United States for Amer ican Red Cross aid and pledged Ru mania to fight to the end. The occa- sion was the raising of the Stars and Stripes and the American Red Cross flag over the first relief hospital es- tablished on the soil of Rumania.
 Our hearts have been warmed by gratitude and our hopes are inspired osity in our hour of suffering" her majesty said. We have 50,0OO orphans and large civilian population in a precarious position on account of the lack of food, clothing and medical aid. Americas assistance came at a critical hour.
 T voice our gratitude to the great ally from over the seas which is the whole-hearted expression of six mil lions of my people. With the help of the United States and our other great allies, we are determined to prosecute the war until the cause to which we consecrated our lives has been vindi- cated.
 f1dNclSlly udS Ilduc tuIHdHld dil the more decided not to give up the struggle which has caused her so much in blood and tears"
 Queen Maria told the members of the American Red Cross commission, which is headed by Col. Henry w. Anderson of Richmond, Va, that their ready grasp of Rumania's needs had given her great hope and confidence that America would continue to render Ru- m a n io al fho nc Jicfo Ao enable this country to meet the suf- ferings of winter.

Poles Dispersed Abroad Gathering to Fight on

 Press.)-A new national flag Is shortly

The silver eagle. on a maroon field, is to take its place be- side the French tri-color.. the Stars and Stripes, the union jack and the battle flags of the other allies. and beneath its folds will fight Polish volunteers from all parts of the world, including thousands from the United States.
 An autonomous Polish army is al
 ready in course of organization on French soil, and It's ranks have been opened to Polish citizens who have l wandered abroad in search of free
 dom from the oppression to which the
 Polish nation has so long been sub ! jected.
 1 This force is to be entirely inde- pendent of any other army. all of its officers and men being of Polish birth or descent The nucleus of the new | army Is composed of Poles who have | served in the French army since the | beginning of hostilities.

Reports of Illness at Camp Shelby Exaggerated
 States General Lewis

Hattiesburg, Miss, October 13.-Gen. F. M. Lewis, brigadier general commanding Camp Shelby, asked today regarding pub- lished reports that spinal meningitis ex- isted at the camp here, gave out the fol- lowing statement:
 There have been several cases of ill., ness in the 149th infantry, including four cases of meningitis, or suspected menin- gitis; alos several cases of measles and humps. As matter of precaution only the men of the regiment were moved to high spot where there Is plenty of sun. No new cases have developed since Sun day, October T. and the situation is no. in the least degree alarming, and never has been.
 Let me say here that the camp au- thorties deprecate the sensational re- ports sent to some papers by correspond ents, and would be glad if the Associated Press and daily papers would alleviate the anxiety they have caused in some parts of the country among relatives and friends of the soldiers. There Is ab- solutely no cause for worry. The situa- ton is in no way serious enough to cause the least apprehension"

SOME WERE PAID

Some of them were doubtless paid. 9th CTS were doubtless not paid, but the paid and unpaid alike were serving Germany against the United States. These mat ters are now all of public record. The excuse of ignorance can no longer avail anyone.
 Henceforth the citizens of German or Irish birth who take part in such activi- ties as these. of most of the German and American alliances and the like, are at best standing in the position of pillar |of salt citizens. They, and, above all, their native American associates, who now indulge in pacifist movements, or demand a peace without overwhelming victory, or ask for referendum on the war, or in any other way serve the bru- tai and constituencies ambition of Ger many, stand unpleasantly near the lone- ly eminence occupied by Benedict Ar hold.

KILLED YOUNG PHYSICIAN

pr. G. L. Todd, a prominent physician of this city, aged 30, was shot to death in his office Wednesday afternoon by J.
