THE SPRING.


This spring will bring the green again,
The birds their wings will preen again,
And joys that made us happy once
Will call to us once more;
The skies will spread their blue again,
The world will seem like new again,
But still it will not be the spring
We welcomed in of yore.
IL will not be the spring of old,
The spring we knew when youth was bold
And peace WAS dancing round our doors
Where children romped in play,
For pas. the green of every tree
Beyond the tulips we shall see
The blood red fields of Flanders, where
Our sons must face the fray.
The spring will bring the rains again,
The children at the panes again
Will press their little faces white
And hunger for the sun;
The robins red will sing again
The bees will take to wing again,
And up the budding maple trees
The sap will start to run,
But over there where all is strife,
The spring will wake the guns to life,
The song birds notes will not be heard
Above the cannonade
And mothers here will view with dread
The gentle sunshine overhead
And wonder off their boys are safe
Amid the havoc made.
The spring will start the guns again,
Twill rouse the hate of Huns ngain,
The blood-stained hands that winter held
Will scatter death once more;
And yet no spring shall come again
When men shall march to drum again,
For peace shall dwell upon the earth
When this mad fling is DER
Our sons are there, erect and straight
To quell the carnival of hate
And peace shall bless the arms they bear
And love shall crown the dead;
Their strength shall win the old-time
spring,
Soon merriy the birds shall sing
And mothers shall rejoice TO see
The blue skies overhead

STAND BY OUR TREATIES.

Secretary Lansing : request that cItl-
ZenS OF neutral countries who have made
declaration Of intentions to become cltl-
zens of the United States be exempted
from the operations of the draft law
should be promptly Needed especially
where we have treaties with the mother
countries. which specifically exempt that
class from obligation Of service IN an In
ternational war. MIR Lansing points out
that discharge of such persons when they
have already responded 10 the draft does
not constitute strict complain &C with the
treaty pledges which bind us not to
induct such persons into the military
service. Where the treaties clearly for
bid inclusion of persons In the draft, there
should be no hesItancy about anne ndlng
the draft law so as to exclud e them.
The United States cannot break faith,
even in a precedent-shattering war This
is a manifest duty. The exclusion of ma
tives of other countries, who plead the
practice of nations against enforc ed
military service of their nationals, Is a
matter of policy. Mr. Lansing gives
good reasons why such exclusion would
profit us. The protest is in line with
the consistent policy OF the United st ates
in protecting its nationals What shall
be done with the natives OF countries
that are associated with us in the great
war is to be determined by other consid-
erations. All eligible for military ser
vice should be put under compulslon TO
join our army or their oWn.-St. Louis

AGE LIMIT RAISED.
Age Limit For Recruits for British
Army Raised to so.
TO the Editor of The Robesonian:

To the Editor of The Robesonian:
have just been informed by the
headquarters of the British and Cana
dian recruiting mission in New York
that the age limit for recruits for
the British army has been raised from
what it formerly was, Is to IL, and
is now 18 to so, both inclusive; and,
as there is no way, at present, to as
certain who are the Britishers in this
State outside of the age limits pre-
scribed by the United States Federal
draft law-that is: those who may be
between the ages of Is and FL end be-
tween the ages Of Al and 50-I trust
that you will be willing to publish
this communication for the inf,rma-
ton cf eligible men within said age
limits who may feel it their duty to
fight under their native flag, and
help fill up the gaps in the ranks of
the British and Canadian armies
made by the recent series of German
offensives.
I may say, in addition, that I am
also advised that no further enlist
ments are being taken for the Cana
dian tank battalion, but places ere
still available in the Canadian cavalry
regiment which is now in process Of
recruitment. Recruits between the
ages-of forty and fifty (other than
those for inland waterways and docks
section of royal engineers) must be
fit for general service, and will be
accepted for infantry only. They will
be enlisted for infantry regiments, as
formerly. and, on arrival in England
they will be posted to a garrison or
home service battalion.
Trusting that this information may
be the means of obtaining a large
number Of additional British recruits
from North Carolina, I am,
Respectfully,

Mr.. Johnson starts another charge Of
''untruth" in the editorial and this
i nthe interest of "the public" Here
he shows the quibbler again.
The article he criticises said the
office Of county treasurer was abel
ished and the commissioners required
by law to select Lumberton bank
to handle the county funds, thus cut
ting out the other banks from bidding
for this privilege.
He quotes us as saying that these
outside banks edo not have the right
to bid" That is a "mis-statement." !"
The law to which he refers, section
10 Of chapter 46, of the Public Local
Laws Of 1917, reads as follows be-
low and how even a quibbler can
claim that the commissioners are not
required by law to select a Lumber
ton bank, is not plain. No outside
bank could afford to keep an agent in
Lumberton, of course, to handle the
county funds and therefore the out
side banks-Mr. Johnson's claim of
untrue to the contrary notwithstand-
ing-are cut off from bidding for the
position of county depository:
"Section 10. It shall be the duty of
positories under the terms of this act
to provide and maintain during the
period in which it shall act as such
depository some agent or other rep
resentative in the town of Lumberton
who shall, when demanded, pay in
specie coin or currency, any and all
checks, drafts or other orders drawn
upon it by any proper officer of Robe
son county entitled to draw the same.
All of the said funds shall be dis
bursed by said depository without any
exchange or collection COST"
Since writing the above short and
mild rejoinder we learn that Mr.. John
son made another "mis-statemenr" in
his protest. 1t was not Mr. Mckay
with whom he talked over the phone,
but member sof the board of exemp-
tion Of No. 2, all of whom were in
Raleigh trying to get justice done, as
far as possible, to the young men of
district 2, which effort was blocked
by the refusal of the chairman of the
board of district No. /, to agree for
his board to recommend that the cor
rection be made by the proper au-
thority. And he cannot throw off the
responsibility or belittle the injustice
by hiding behind personal attack
upon an officer nor can The Robesoniar
by the intimatioh that to do justice
at home will cause the loss of the wa1
for justice to humanity everywhere.
