$4,000 LIBERTY BONDS
TO SEE CHARLIE WALK

Richmond, Va, April 11.-Charlie
Chaplin refused point-blank to do
any of his hat tricks tonight unless
the vast audience would buy $4,000
worth of Liberty Bonds. When he
figured up, he had sold more than
that amount. The trick worked so
we'll that he refused to do any of
his fancy walking unless more bonds
were sold. Then they deluged him
with orders. When Chaplin came
out from under the avalanche of
demands, he figured more than $780,
900 worth sold.

Provost Marshal Gen.
Crowcler's Order Sent
. to Governors of All
50 FROM SOUTH CAROLINA
To Be Sent to Eleven Forts and
Recruiting Barracks For
Training, -.

Washington, April 14.-Another
draft call for 49,s43 registrants has
been sent to Governors of States
by Provost Marshal Gen. Crowder.
Mobilization Of the men is ordered
for May 1, and 10, the War De-
partment announced tonight, and
they will be sent to eleven forts and
recruiting barracks, probably for
training with regular army units
there. .-.. ... .E,F
This call increases to more than
100000 the number of selectmen
ordered to camp since late in March.
This is far in excess of the monthly
average that would have been mobil-
lied under the original plan to call
100000 men this year over nine
month period. Future calls at the
same rate would complete the pro-
gram before midsummer. =
Speeding Up.
Under President Wilson's deter
niination to hasten the dispatch Of
American troops to- France to re-
inforce the British and French ar
mics. bearing the brupt Of the great
German drives in Flanders and Pi-
cardy, the whole program Of the ar
my is speeding up. Only a week
ago Gen. Crowder ordered mobili-
zation of 10000 selectmen for
April 2s and their movement to the
national army cantonments during
the five days following. 20"
Further announcements are ex-
pected to follow the return of Sec
retary Baker from his visit to the
battle fronts. .
Troops now are moving to Eu-
rope at rapid rate and this clear
ing of training camps will permit Of
the calling of men much faster than
was contemplated before the Ger
man offensive, made it imperative to
rush men to the battle fronts.

HANGING OF PRESIDENT

Birmingham, Ala, April H.
William A. benson, prominent
Birmingham attorney; was arrested
this afternoon by federal authori-
ties on charges of violating the es-
pionage act. Mr.. benson is charg-
ed with saying: "Wilson is the
cause and the whole cause of the
United States being mixed up in the
European war. Wilson should be
hung and 1 would like to see him
hang"
Mr.. benson acted as counsel for
Arnold Jacob Uhl, recently convict
ed a charge of defacing his ques-
tionnaire. During his trial, Uhl tes-
titled that it was on the advice of
benson that he refused to fill out
the QUESTIONABLE and made an en-
dorsement across its face, claiming
exemption from foreign military
duty.
When arrested and shown the
warrant for his arrest containing the
statement he is charged with max
ing, Mr.. benson asserted that the
charge was untrue.
Denson's arrest has caused a sem
sation here as he is reputed to be

The Cyclops Is More
Than Month Overdue
Carolinians Aboard
2s3 MEN ABOARD; ...
COMING FROM WEST INDIES
Navy Departments Announcement
Saw. No U.Bosts Have Been OPP
Grating Along tho Route of
Collier.

Washington, April 14.-The big
American naval collier Cyclops, car
rying 81 passengers, Is officers and
221 men in her crew, has been over
due in an Atlantic port since March
13. The Navy Department announ-
ced today that she was last reported
at a West Indies island port March
a. and that extreme anxiety is en-
tertained as to her safety. The yes
sci was bringing cargo Of manga
nese from Brazil. a.
The Cyclops had one engine dam
aged when she left the West Indies,
but the department said this fact
would not have prevented her from
communicating by radio and all eff
forts to reach her by that means has
been unsuccessful. A thorough
search Of the course which she
would have followed in coming to
port has. been made and continues
it was announced.
.'... ~ Carried Naval Men.
Alfred Moreau Gottschalik, Unit
ed States council general at Rio De
Janeiro, was the only civilian among
the passengers on the collier, the
others being two naval. lieutenants
and fiftS-four naval enlisted men re-
turning ito the United States. The
Cyclops was commanded by Lieut..
Commander G. W. Worley, U.' s.
Naval Reserve force. '
There have been no reports Of
German submarines or raiders in the
locality in which the collier was, the
deuartment's statement said. The
weather had not been stormy and
could hardly have given the collier
trouble.
e. Missing for Month.
The fact that the collier had been
missing for a month became known
here Thursday, April II. The naval
censor requested the Associated
Press not to publish the fact on the
ground that the ship had not been
given up for lost and that to pub
Iish the fact that she was overdue
might expose the .Cyclops to sub
marines or other enemy attack,
while she might have been disabled
on the high seas. The official an
nouncement by the Navy Depart
ment today does not give the ship
up for lost, but merely says "the
Navy Department feels extremely
anxious as to her safety"

BY DIR. FRANKLIN DUANE.

Many people have been frightened
by what they have read or heard of
influenza. The more you fear the
disease, the surer you are to get it.
Go right about your. business and for
get it. AS the disease is spread prin-
cipally by contact thru sneezinE,A
coughing or splitting, many health au-
thorities have advised that everyone
wear a gauZe, which Is daily washed
and saturated with a one to five hun
dred solution Of zinc sulphate in wa
over the nose and mouth. You
should avoid crowds, common drink
ing cups and public towels. Keep
your strength up by taking. lots Of
exercise in the open air and plenty Of
n%ourishing food.
If you have any of such symptoms
as chilliness, nasal distractions,
flushed face, headache, feverishness,
re~stlessness, weakness, or irritating.
cough, give up work at once and go to
bed. This will save your strength to
help overcome the disease. Put your
feet in hot water for fifteen minutes.
Thoroughly loosen the bowels with
some such mild and non-irritating
physic&as DR.. Pierce's Pellets. : Drink
principally of hot lemonade and then
cover up with plenty of clothes in bed
so as to get a good sweat. When
sweating is free and the fever re-
duced take a dose Of two Anuric Tab
lets every four hours, followed by
drinking at least a glass or two of hot
water. Anuric Tablets help quickly
to relieve the soreness of the muscles
and bones from which most patients
complain and help the kidneys flush
out the poisons. *
To relieve nasal Instructions and
excessive discharge from the nose,
probably nothing is better than such
a mild, soothing, antiseptic wash as
DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. 1t will
give great relief. Employed as a
gargle, in same strength as made up
for use in the nose, and as hot as can
be borne. it quickly arrests soreness
and dryness in,the throat.
Influenza weakcns the patients re-
sistance to disease, so hat there is
danger of bronchitis and pneumonia
developing. To combat this tendency
and fortify the patients strength. in
s;st that he keep in bed at least twA
days. Probably nothing will at this
stage hasten the recovery and
strengthen the patient more than an
iron-tonic tablet called "frontic'' or
that we'll known herbal tonic, DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
which has been used by thousands in
the past two generations.
