One Killed in Action in France, She
Offers Two to Her Country.
Durham, June 17.-"My life may
\ have been q failure in every other
respect, but l have at least given
one son for my country, and have
two more ready to 60 and avenge his
DEATH" declared Mrs. Nancy Triplett
Gates, mother of Silas Edwards Trip
lett, member of Co. M, this city,
who recently was reported as among
those killed in action in France.
Thus, Mrs. Gates displayed the fact
that Spartan motherhood is alive in
America.
The patriotic spirit Of this Dur
ham mother was shown in an incl
dent that occurred Saturday in Dur
ham. The incident illustrates the
splendid organization the govern
ment has built up to protect the in
terests of soldiers, the value Of the
press in disseminating news, and
last but not least, the patriotism of
Americas women.
The casualty list of June 7th car
ried the name of Silas Edward Trip
lett, of North Carolina. This list
was published in The Sun, and ref
erence was made to the fact that
though the residence Of Triplett was
given as Hunting Creek, N. c., he
had enlisted with Company M, Of
this city. The paper fell into the
hands of Mrs. Nancy Trlplett Gates,
the mother of the young soldier, who
ha drecently married w. T. Gates,
of West Durham, and It was the first
information she had Of the death of
her son. The War Department evil
IDENTIFY sent the telegraphic informa-
ton to his old home. Some one at
West Durham referred Mrs. Gates to
Attorney w. G. Bramham, of the
local bar, who has been appointed
by Governor T. w. Beckett 4 men,
ber of the permanent legal advisory
board Of Durham county, and also
member of the Soldiers Business
Aid Committee, and the Bureau OF
War Risk Insurance was immedi-
ately notified of the whereabouts of
the mother who holds the certificate
of insurance issued by the govern
ment upon the life Of her son.
The distressed mother offered to
reimburse the attorney upon any
basis he might elect for his aid, but
was informed that he could not,
and would not il he could, accept any
compensation for his efforts in her
behalf. The old mother bowed with
gief, and with tears streaming from
her eyes, made her Spartan-like
statement.
Mrs. Gates lives in West Durham,
and the family is employed in the
Erwin Mills.

THREAT AGAINST
HOSPITAL SHIPS
Germany Pretends to Believe
That Air Plane Equip
ment Has Been
SENT ABROAD ON THEM

Amsterdam. June 17.-Referring
to the report that the American hos
pital ship Comfort is to be sent to
Europe without escort and that Ger
many has been noted of this by the
American government. the Berlin
Lokal Anzeiger says:
I'VE humbly venture to ask the
question, what will the Comfort
carry on her first voyage to Europe,
as she will have no sick or wounded
aboard? We greatly fear American
flying men, and. perhaps, q few doz-
en- airplanes. After the ample ex-
perience we have had, in the course,
Of the war, Of hospital ships bear
ing the signs Of the Red Cross, the
gentlemen Of America and their
President will perhaps not take 1t
amiss If we ask this question"

Washington, June ia yelled
German threat against American hos
pital ships was received by the State
Department today in dispatches
quoting the Lokal Anzeiger's sinis-
ter inquiry and implied menace. The
State Department made it known
that no American hospital ship had
ever started for Europe before the
publication Of the Lokal Anzeiger's
inquiry, and officials limited that
there was no doubt concerning what
the inquiry meant.
The German government pre-
viously had charged that American
aviators had been transported to
France as members of ambulance
units, a charge denied both by the
British and the American govern
ments.

Washington, June 16.-"I believe
we are making better record In
this war than in any past wars in the
distribution of burdens and in the
controlling and suppressing Of pro-
fiiteering," is the reply that Repre-
sentative John H. Small makes to
the indictment of North Carolina
Farmers Union officials that the ma
tion's morale will be 1eopardized If
profiteering continues. DR.. H. @. Al
exander, president and E. &. Faires.
secretary and treasurer of the Farm
ers Union, wrote the North Carolina
Congressman that inasmuch as men
had been conscripted that there
should be no hesltancy in conscript-
ing wealth.
"There is some loose talk through..
out the country about conscripting
wealth, but I assume that as a rule
it is intended to mean the conscrip-
tion of lal ge part of the profits Of
industry and business" writes Rep
resentative Small. "The man gives
his all; wealth would fare much bet
ter than the man if all net incomes
and war profits over and above iiv-
ing were conscripted, because wealth
would still hold the principal in
TACT" writes E. G. Faires, of Aber-
deem, secretary ana treasurer Of the
