False Reports Circulated.

The Civil Service commission sends
The Robesonian the following for pub
lication:
Reports, probably circulated as part
of an insidious propaganda, have been
circulated throughout the country to
the effect that the new clerks in
Washington, D. c., which includes all
persons going to Washington to work
for the government, will find it hard
to obtain boarding and rooming places
and that if they do procure the same
the charges will be exorbitant.
Recently the Washington Chamber
of Commerce has undertaken the work
of directing new employees to suitable
rooming and boarding places. 1t ap-
pears that the local Chamber of Com
merce has thousands of rooming and
boarding places on it's list and new
employees coming to the city will be
able to obtain them at very moderate
rates. A party appointed to posi-
tion in the government service, can,
before coming to the city, write in
advance to the Chamber of Commerce
and make arrangements for board
ing place, or after coming to the city
can cali at its offices, located It ell

Women Will Win War Declares DIR.
W:Iox,

One of the soundest expositions, so
far published, of woman's status in the
war appears in the December issue of
Good Housekeeping where the cele-
brated food specialist, DR.. Harvey w.
Wiley, writing on Paying for the
War;" declares that a nation is un-
conquerable only so long as its wo-
men are unsubdued. To quote: "The
housewife is the one who seems to be
most keenly affected. I am writing
this war article in the hope that, in
view of the facts which condition the
present state of affairs, she will here
after not grumble at the increased
prices which she is now called upon
to pay. It is not good for the country
to have any large class Of our people
complaining. Patriotism means more
than taking off ones hat to the flag.
standing up when The Star-Spangled
Banner is played, and shouting one
self hoarse at the passing procession.
This is ebullition, not patriotism. True
patriotism consists in doing something
which is sacrifice, or something
that touches us both in pocketbook
and in sentiment in behalf of our
country.
In my mind, there is no question
Of the constitutionality of the food
administration act. If the govern
ment can run the post-office, control
the militia and requisition our soldiers
and sailors for service under the con-
stitution, then the same principle can
be applied to every material thing.
The great danger of our present
law is that it is discriminatory Such
things as food, fuel and beverage, are
now to be nationally controlled. A
law of this kind should apply to every
| commodity; so that no class of our
citizens could enjoy and advantage
over another.
l have just read what seems to be
reliable statistics showing that the
actual death-rate on the battle front
is only about one per cent of all who
are engaged. It is true that that one
may be the one that some one of us
loves. On the other hand, if for every
man that dies in battle, dozen lose
! their lives at home by reason of fam.
inc or insufficient food, and especial.
! lly if this be children, then the desc.
lation is appalling. 1t is difficult te
realize that our battles are fought
at home; we hardly realize that it is
the women of the world who are real
ly It's fighters. We do not understand
as fully as we should, that unio1

women are unsubdued."

NO"SLACKER COMMISSIONS
Men of Draft Age Seeking OFF,
GERS Places in Eon-Combatant
Branches Have Struck Snag.

So-called "slacker commission" by
which men Of draft age seek to es-
cape service in the ranks and get Of
ficers' places in non-combatant
branches Of the army have struck
snag in two general policies laid down
by Secretary Baker.
These are, first, that no men OF
draft age be commissioned unless it
is shown clearly that they are better
fitted for the special work towhich
they are called than any civilian be-
yond the draft age whose services can
be secured; second, that no function
of the army that can be carried on eff
fectively with civilians will be plac-
ed on military footing by commits
sionine the men needed to supervise
the work.
The problem of commissions in the
various staff departments of the ar
my that have to do with the supply
lines, transportation, construction, and
hundred other non combatant func-
tions of the service is difficult one
There have been numerous cases OF
young men Of draft age who have
obtained commissions in those ser
vices and therefore are exempt from
the operations of the selective service
law under which the fighting troops
are being modified. 1t is the desire
of Secretary Baker, apparently, tt
keep this element of the commission
ed personnel Of the army at a mini
mum in justice to the great body o:
the drafted men and to prevent any
suggestion that men Of draft age hav.
found shelter in the commissioned
grades of the non-combatant branches
of the service from the liability of ser
vice at the front.
Mr.. Bakers ruling as to army func
tions which need not of necessity b.
given military status applies partic
ularly to inspection of materials man
ufactured or produced for the army

Attempt Made to Cripple Whining
toms Water Supply?
Wilmington Star, Dec. l.

Wilmington Star, Dec. 1.
The discovery for the second time
Yesterday morning Of dynamite sticks
in cars of coal consigned to the city
water works plant has led to the be-
lief in official circles that an attempt
has been made by alien enemies to
cripple the water supply Of Whining
ton. Either of the sticks of dynamite
found was of sufficient explosive force
to have demolished the entire plant
had it found it's way into the furnace.
A colored workman engaged IN un-
, loading a car of coal accidentally dis
covered the first stick several days
ago, but as dynamite is used exten-
sively in coal mining operations, Of
ficials were inclined to believe that
| the placing of the explosive IN the
car was due to carelessness on the
| part Of some mine employe, and the
matter was kept quiet.
| AS a precautionary measure, how
ever, close watch was kept on the
contents of future consignments of
fuel and yesterday morning the vlgll-
lance was rewarded with the find
ing of second stick of the deadly
explosive cached in car shipped from
| Cno same pO1It aS CIle ilSC.
Special Agent Dorsey E. Phillips of
the department of justice made a
thorough investigation yesterday af-
ternoon, but was unable to find any
trace Of other explosives. Mr.. Phil
lips said last night that the sticks
were uncapped, a measure that woulC
have reduced the danger of an ex.
plosion while en- route to a minimum
but would not have lessened then
deadly effect had they been unwit
tingly shoveled into the furnace Of
the plant.
The cars in which the stuff wa:
found were both shipped to the cit!
water works department from thu
, Licku Fireco Coal Co., of Fireco, w
Va. The first car was billed from
Fireco on October 22, while the sec
ond car left the mines October 27.
