According to a recent Commerce
Report the Berlin Newspaper, Borsen-
Zeitung, says the toy industry in
Erzgebirge Is so overrun with orders
that it Is impossible to fill them. The
lack of stock throughout the world
will probably create q great shortage
Of toys, especially at Christmas time.
And the toys will. of course, be more
expensive than ever because of the
increased price OF materials. and this
will not be decreased again for a long
time to come.
The demand for toys is expected to
be still greater after the war, as large
orders from the neutral countries will
then probably come in.

PEACE AT l. asst.

The great world war is over at last
thank Gcd, but we should not forget
that it will be many months before
the soldiers and sailors can be brought
back home and discharged, and that
during those months, there will be
problems to meet as great as the prob
lem of bringing the war to such a
glorious conclusion. Liberal contri-
buttons to war work agencies are just
as imperative now as ever. Perhaps
more so; for the bright day brings
out the adder and requires wary walk
ing. The men in service must be saw
ed from the temptations that will
beset them on every hand until thew
come back home, and comforts must
be provided for them. We cannot af-
ford to become careless now.
Robson county people have met
every demand for the winning of the
war. Let us steady ourselves now and
meet every demand for the winning of
our men from the battle fronts and
the camps.
The Robesonian., 1918-11-11
PREMATURE.

Habitual readers of this paper do
not need to be told that The Robson
ian regrets more than it can say hav-
ing been made the instrument Thurs
day of publishing an unfounded state
ment to the effect that the armistice
between Germany and the Allies had
been signed at II a. m. that day and
that hostilities ceased at p. m. on the
same day. The United Press, which
sent the dispatch, is a reliable news
gathering agency. The dispatch was
sent by Roy S. Howard, president of
the United Press Association, who has
put across some of the best "beats"
of the war. He is the man who first
gave to the world news of the landing
of American troops at Vera Cruz. His
experience and reputation is such that
big daily papers in large cities ac-
cepted the dispatch as unquestionably
true, and some papers published the
statement in their Friday morning is
sue,. twelve hours later than The
Robesonian was published. The Balti-
more Sun in it's issue Saturday morn
ing says: "At the time of issue of
yesterday mornings paper FRIDAY
morning, mind you) The Sun was not
convinced that the report was not cor
rect" ...
The United Press has been cleared
of all blame in the matter. It was
simply the victim of misinformation
that was given out by high COM
manding officer. Rear Admiral Henry
B. Wilson, commander of the Ameri-
can forces in French waters, has ac-
cepted full responsibility for the re-
port. In statement acquitting the
United Press of any bad faith in the
matter, Admiral Wilson says he au-
thorized the report on what he ac-
cepted as official and authoritative in
formation. Mr.. Howard says that
later he learned, while demonstrations
at Brest were at their height, that the
accuracy of the information was ques-
toned; that he Immediately sought
Admiral Wilson again and found that
he had received word that his original
bulletin was unofficial and unconfrin-
able; that he Immediately sent an ur-
gent cablegram Of correction which
should have reached New York in time
for Thursday afternoon papers, but
unfortunately this cablegram was de.
layed for hours.
Intelligent and fair-minded people
will recognize the fact that the United
press was in no wise to blame anc
That it was simply the victim of misin
formation given out by a high com
n,anding officer.

The man at the wheel used to be a

The packing cases creak and groan,

Then up they go, through the strange
silence broken only when great pro-

They reach a turn. They take it.
They face a heavy incline. For half
mile it stretches and they know the
Germans have the range of every inch

incline is their target.
The three men on the truck bring up
their gas masks to the alert, settle their
steel helmets closer on their heads.

Then it slackens off. The driver grabs
