RED CROSS.


But for the heroic, self-sacrificing
service of Red Cross workers the hor-
rors of this most awful of all wars
would be multiplied many fold. Wher-
ever agencies Of destruction do their
work the Red Cross workers follow,
pick up the pitiful, torn remains and
with skill and patience nurse back
to health and strength thousands who
otherwise would be left to die in tor
ture.
With peculiar force the Red Cross
should appeal to all Of us now. Many
of our own young men have gone 10
the front. Many others are IN train
ing to go, and others will follow in q
constant stream. Many homes into
which The Robesonian goes have sona
already somewhere in France" or
who soon are to go. How soon some
of these young men may need the
care of those who have devoted then
lives to service under the direction Of
the great Red Cross organization II
is not given any Of US to know. Blu
the duty Of each of US is plain. VIZ
can join the local Red Cross chapter
and by our contributions help to car
ry on this noble and necessary work
1t is duty and privilege to do thai
much.
Lumberton is the only town Of any
importance that has not Red Cros:
chapter already. That reproach is tt
be removed tomorrow evening. l
would be an inspiring sight if at thi
meeting at which Red Cross chap
ter is to be organized the court room
should be filled to overlooking. Their
are many demands upon all of US, bu
there is no more important deman,
than this. Let us pause long enoug
to show our approval and lend hand

It was stated authoritatively that in
the opinion of President Wilson the
psychological moment had arrived
when it was absolutely necessary to
make a strong effort to counterfeit
the evil effects of German duplicity
and doubledealing upon the Russians,
who had been charged to meet the

felt that no efforts should be spared
to prevent a resumption Of the Brest-
Litovsk negotiations by the Russians,
without earnest, but kindly, admoni-

posed.

presidential proclamation published
today. On that occasion, patriotic dem
o%nstrations will occur in every com
munity and by that time it is hoped
the third liberty loan will have swell
ed to we'll beyond the $4,000, OO0, 900
mark.
The presidents proclamation calls
on the nation to Ensemble in their
respective communities and literally
pledge anew their financial support to
sustain the nation s cause
Let the nation S response express in

of America to fight for peace, the per-
manent peace of justice, it added.
The last figures available early to-
day, showed subscriptions of $685.
734, 900 already acknowledgements
ing a SO per cent subscription in forty
per cent of the time allotted.
All districts report that sales are
squirting ahead well, so it is assumed
this discrepancy in percentages will
be overcome quickly. Treasury officials
warned today, however, that W OPP
can harm the loan and that
must be no relaxation in the eff
to make the subscriptions surpass
the goal set.

OLD AGE A CRIME

Some people are young at 60-red
checked, ruddy and vigorous. Others
are old at 40-joints beginning to stiff
fen up a bit; step beginning to lag
and lose its springiness; occasional
touches of pain in the back, feel tired
without cause, and possibly a twinge
of rheumatic pain.
In most cases these are the danger
signals to warn you that the kidneys
are not promptly doing their work of
throwinV off the p%oisons that are al
a forming in the body, To neglect
these natural warnings is a crime
against yourself. If you have these
symptoms you can find prompt relief
in GOLD MEDAL Haarlem Oil Cap
sules. For more than 200 years this has
been the recognized remedy for kid
nev and bladder ailments.
GOLD MEDAL HARLEM Oil Cap
sules are imported direct from the lab

GERMAN ADMIRALTY
LIES ABOUT NUMBER
OF SHIPS SENT DOWN
In Order to Hearten People
Declares Number Double
What It Is

New York, April acknowledging
submarine tolls is becoming increasingly
more difficult for the German admiral
ty according to reports from the British
war office received today.
From a monthly exaggeration of 46
per cent a year ago, the German admir-
atty boosted it's sinkings by 113 per
cent in January. AS the actual sink
ings decreased, the exaggerations in
creased, the reports show.
German papers, carrying official re-
ports, declared that the underseas craft
destroyed more than 100000 tons of
the worlds shipping during the past 70
months. British official figures show
half that amount. The average cxag-
geration of the German admiralty and
press during the past year, was 46
per cent.
Last month actual losses were 340.-
900 tons; German claims $50, 900 tons.
November, actual losses, 295, 900 tons;
German claims 605,000 tons; December,
actual losses 100000 tons; German claim
$4,000 tons; January actual sinkings
9 5000 tons; German claims, 100000
tons.
The highest point in sinkings since
Germany unrestricted campaign began
was $4,000 tons. The Teuton admiral
ty claimed destruction of 100000 tons
the same month.
The lowest month probably will be
April, the submarines having sunk but
81 500 thus far this month. For the
last quarter of the year ending Febru-
airy l, the worlds losses were 100000
tons, compared with a loss of 2,010,.
900 for the first three months of Ger
campaign.

the bulk of the third liberty loan drive
When official totals at the end of
Yesterday were announced today-$1,-

keen disappointment is felt at the
showing of many larger cities.
Arkansas, with a population largely
rural, has ~equalled it's quota of $l5,-
|S51 $50. This is the third state to sub
scribe its minimum quota. Other south
ern stables are sending favorable re-
ports on the campaign.
Mississippi has subscribed $6,0QO,0O0
ninety two per cent of its quota. Lo-
cal committees were confident Mlssis-
sippi s minimum quota will be reached
because some counties have net yet re-
ported.
From Kentucky, Tennessee, West
Virginia and GeOlLia reports OF a
whirlwind campaign have come.
Kentucky has subscribed $l4, 500, 900
or 50 per rent of its share. Tennessee
has just passed the half way mark in
its campaign with aggregate sales of
S., 000, 900. :.
From Butte, Mont, comes a report
of a spirited campaign. The allotment
for Silver Bow county was $2'l4l,Oo0.
A three day campaign Melted $4,544,-
900.
The anniversary of the battle of
Lexington was made the occasion for
liberty loan rallies throughout New
England. A holiday was declared ana
patriotic celebrations were held in al
mast every city. Honor flags have
been awarded to more than 200 cities
and towns in New England and sixty
more have over subscribed their quo
tas. Many of these flags were raised
to-day in conjunction with the Lexing-
ton celebration.
The Cleveland district still main
tains its lead in the number of honor
cities, it's total now being 444. vi
these Ohio has 5f+, Pennsylvania A,
West Virginia three and Kentucky 50.
