task has been greatly discharged, and
in the record that has been made
every true American mas ground for
faith and pride.
1t is assured by many that there is
a lack of enthusiasm for this war, ana
that the country is in the grip or
mysterious apathy for which 5ofe
remedy should be found Such as
these are simply unable to distinguish
between noise and action. Every call
of the nation has been answered IN
stantly and fully, and this effective
acouiescence, after all, is the test OF
patriotism rather than mob-rloclng
and Misunderstanding.
Almost within month after the
deciathtior Of Wer. the traditional
roIicv of America was reversed by
the enactment of the selective service
law. On June 9Th 100000 men
were registered, ard in September,
80 days after the driving Of the first
nail, 81 great cities were ready tor tie
occupancy of the selected men.
On July IA, scarcely two months at
ter the Presidents appearance before
Congress, General Persning and his
staff arrived IL France, and on July
3rd, the first division of American
soldiers reached the land of Lafayette
and Rochambeau. Each month has
seen thousands go across the sea. It
is not simply an army that we are
preparing, but an entire nation that
we are putting into the fight. .

A CHANCE TO SHOW
APPRECIATION
Wilmington Star.

Wilmington Star.
Governor Beckett has proclaimed
/ August 19 as Jewish Relief day IN
North Carolina, when relief for suffer
ing Jews in the war zone will bn con-
trihuted by philanthropic Tar Heels,
both Jew and Gentle.
This is a very fire thing to do and
we are glad that it has been done. We
are glad of the opportunity afforded
the State to contribute to this defi-
rite purpose, because it gives our
people a chance to show their a2p1e-
citation of Jewish generosity ard jew
ish loyalty and patriotism. II this
war the Jews Of America have. as a
distinct element Of the popula ton.
more than measured up 10 their duties
as citizens Of q free and Iiberty-Iovine
republic. Naturally generous and
charita able, these people without 0S-
tertation have given largely of their
means to promote war relief Of every
kind They have gone into the ser
vice by the thousands. They have
supported home charities even more
literally than ever. and they have al
ways been liberal. They have sup
ported the governments financial
plans every time ard all the time. The
Red Cross and Y. N. C. A. have been
as near their hearts as they have been
to the heart of anybody.
Here in Wilmington representatives
Of the race, men and women, have been
leaders in patriotic activities. No
body knows how much they have doae
for more than most people they do
not let their right hand know what
their left hand does in the way CT
charity and good works. Here and
elsewhere they have done their full
duty as patriotic American citizens,
end now on the 10Th of August we
have a chance to show our apprecia-
ton of their splendid record by join
ing them in contributions for the VIZ
tins Of war among their widely scat
tered people throughout the world.
North Carolina owes it to herself or:
this day to make contribution COM
,nensurate with her wealth and her
capacity for appreciation.

WHERE DOES YOUR COUNTY STAND?
The Poorest County Will be That One Which Did Least r.
Raise Its War Savings Quota.

Wnere does your county stand ?
Was it one to raise its quota Of War
Savings pledges? Has it received its
war Savings honor flag, which signi-
1es tnat 1t has answered nobly the
call OF Its Government and can be
counted on at every call? II not. why
not! Are you satisfied with your
county's record? Did you do your
part IN signing the pledge and giving
your services to make your county
go over in the drive?
Another opportunity is going to be
given your county and you to saw
"nat you will do. Those who did too
little or pledged amounts too small
Will be given chance to save their
record. Many who have reconsidered
since they were called or weeks ago
Will want to make their pledges larger
and their services more liberal and
willing. Many since that time have
come to know the good Investment
tna War Savings Stamps offer and
tney are willing to pledge themselves
TO save more that they may invest
more IN the best securities on earth
Again, as result Of the drive. marv
people have come to realize for tho
nrst time that they owe their countrv
a debt Of gratitude and service Thew

NO individual, no township, no coun.

these can afford not to invest to the

THE WAR FORCED ON Us.
We Fight in Self Defence, For Free
Institutions and For Human Lib
erty-The Progress in One Year.

Following is an extract from the
address of Geo. Creei, chairman of the
committee on public information. be.
tore the State Press Association al
Asheville:
AS you well know certain gro11ns
actuated by partisanship in LARGE de-
gree, and in part by the donainatioo
OF imperialism and militarisn1. have
never forgiven the President for his
failure to seize upon the Eurooear y
war as an excuse for Prussianizine
the United States by turning i into
an armed camp in peace times. Be-
cause April 6, 1917, didn't find us a
military power strong as Germany
and naval power as strong as Great
Britain, these groups, in speech and
IN print, attempted to indict the whole
nation for what they termed "our
criminal negligence"
Let us never forget that it was not
Immediately, by any means, that the
FULL horror Of Germany's crimes and
purposes penetrated the national con
sclousness. Not at the tire Of the
German invasion Of Belgium, or for
months afterward, was the question
OF protest by the United States even
suggested in Congress or advocated
IN the press. The visit of the Belgian
deputatlon in September, 1914. moved
our sympathies but not QUE resolu-
ton.
AS the war progressed. it becare
increasingly apparent that the neu-
trality approved by the nation ard en-
forced by President Wilson was mon
aced at many points by TIE refusal of
the lmperlal government to abide Nv
international law. As our rrotest
was against the use of force as ,
means OF solving international dis
putes, our first logica! and cons;star,
course could have been 10 other thar
an honest appea. 20 the law that we
We're Insisting should be respected.
President Wilson following in the
footsteps Of Wastiing gtor, Adams. JEFF
terson. Lincoln and Grant, all of whom.
"ete Pres!dents during periods in
which belligererts violated American
neutrality, held to orderly procedure,
refusing to resort to force until every
peaceful means Of adjusting differ
ences mad been exhausted. Nor was
our position stultified, our faith
sShaMed, and our professions given the
AN zSJ -~-SAi " VIZ preparations.
The notes to Germany were more
than diplomatic exchanges designed
TO redress certain definite wrongs,
They were atfidavits attesting our
tassion for peace and the utter sell
fishress of our purposes; they were
to fotladation stones for our present
Justification; and because Of those
notes 1t is the case today that the citi-
zen confesses disloyalty and treason
who dares to say that war was not
forced upon America and that it is
net & war of self-defense in behalf o4
frse institutions and human liberty.
Even in Germany today they admit
tie justice of our cause when they de.
bate the wisdom of their policy ir
driving Us into the war. At home

foundations for unexampled nationa

Campbell Takes a Bride
Before Going TO War

On Wednesday last, at Wildwood,
in the Episcopal church, at IL q. M,
Sophie M. Bright, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Oliver Bright, was married to
Willard Campbell, son of Councilman
and Mrs. William Campbell OF Wild
wood Crest. In the absence of the pas
tor, the wedding ceremony was per-
formed by Chaplain Ernest Leroy
Paugh from the Wissahickon Barracks.
Webster Bright, a brother of the bride
acted as groomsman, and Mrs. Thos.
Delaney, of Sea Iele City, a sister of
the bride, served as bridesmaid. Miss
Josephine Hancock, of Camden, and
Mrs. Thomas Delaney were recorded as
witnesses TO the alliance. After the
marriage rites had been completed, the
happy couple was given a run about
town in a gaily decorated automobile.
1t was to laugh to see the funny devices
resorted to In an effort to please the ia
bled marriage god Hymen, who, aceor-
ding to tradition, could not be appeased
by anything short of the fantastic, the
ludicrous and the whimsical. These
newly f1edged life-partners had plan
ned an extensive trip to Niagara Falls
and other points, but Uncle Sam cried,
"halt" and Willard must go on Sun
day to Camp Meade. After the jolli6-
cation ride about the city, and just at
high noon the bride and groom, sur
rounded by a number of invited friends
aud gueets sat down to an elaborate
marriage dinner spread at the home Of
the bride. Ample justice having been
done to the feast the couple was escor-
ted to the Reading depot and departed
at III for a short trip.
