now divided by the issues of war I :.
of the earth were in accord in regard
to fundamental things, and it was ali
unconscious admission that, n time TO
come, international relations would
have to be regulated in conformity
with general rules based on funda-
mental justice in order to perpetuate
peace and order among the nations.
Mr.. McLean's address abounded in
citation, showing an intense study on
his part of this lomentous question.
He gave his hearers encoura cement
that out Of the present conflict Will
come truer conception and q better
organization of international rela-
tions: and a way must and will oe
found TO make lasting peace be-
tween the nations; true World Court
of Justice will be established which
will recognize the supremacy of in
ternatlonal law, and prevent the ex-
rloitation of small nations to enrich
their more powerful neighbors. Just
as an idividual looks for redress or
relief to his National State and it's
laws, so all nations will look to the
World Court IN order that peace may
be maintained, that they may be al
lowed full freedom of internal de-
velopment, and be protected In their
territorial integrity.
The lawyers Of North Carolina, in
to whose keeping the treasurer of le-
gal knowledge have been committed
and who, by reason Of special training
and enlightened patriotism, are in a
peculiar degree the guardians Of our
laws and our liberties, were reminded
by Mr.. Mclean that to them comes +he
sublime duty TO stand forth as the
champions Of this beneficient principle
Of world organization, so that our
great Republic, which has outstripped
the eagles flight in the race of ma
tions that seek democracy and peace,
may remain the beacon of liberty AMI
freedom in this supreme hour Of the
worlds history.

A WORLD ORGANIZATION.
Views Advanced By A. W. Mclean
Are Being Widely Discussed.
Charlotte Observer.

Charlotte Observer.
Undoubtedly the matter Of forming
world organization for the main
tenance Of peace will figure in the
final negotiations between the Allies
and the German Powers. AS the war
has progressed the feeling that def
mite action looking to the prevention
of future conflicts becomes imperative
and in the dealings with Germany no
detail is quite so important IS that Of
establishing peace upon permanent
basis. In his recent address to the
North Carolina Bar Association at
Wrightsville, Hon. A. W. Mclean
made this point the burden of his talk,
and The Observer is glad to see that
Mr. McLean's views are finding wide
discussion by the papers Of the coun-
try. Mr.. Mclean argued that inter-
national organization and intarnaEion-
al cooperation under some agreed
plan is absolutely necessary to pre-
vent recurrence Of this terrible con-
flict, which is the outgrowtH Of false
ideas, erroneous philosophy and short
sighted world politics. He contended
that the moment was never more op-
owes its very existence to sreadfast
position to these false and misleading
theories of the past, to come forth
and provincialism as the Great Re-
public Of the Western Hemisphere
and make known to mankind that
the time is at hand when a new or
der must be established among the
family of nations; when the principles
of truth, honor, justice and human
brotherhood and not arbitrary brute
force SHALL constitute the basis of
civilized society, and when all people
should have the right to settle their
political destinies according to ti.ei1
| own determination.
Mr.. Mclean found ample warrant
! for his position in the record of Pres
ident Wilson, himself, whose c.ery
act in the foreign policy Of his Ad
! ministrati has as it's Fundamental
! principal the theory that nations N
, longer exist for their own personal in
! terests alone, but for the common gooC
of mankind; that selflsilness AMONG
nations is to be abhorred just as it is
among individuals; that fer the great
er good of all, the peaceful settle
ment of all disputes between independ
ent governments is just as feasIbl,
and just as righteous as It is between
persons; and that the welfare of so
ciety in general should outweigh am
defeat the schemes and intrigues O
individual States consumed with tn
idea Of self-aggrandizement and tn
iesire for world domination. In HI
recent effort to bring abouts peace
President Wilson enunciated four car
dlnal principles to be agreed to by al
nations. There was no dissent or dis
approval from any Of the government

One Of the Best Things in The Army
When You Give to The Red Cross
You Are Helping Soldiers.

The following letter was given The
Robesonian for publication:
Mr. John j. McLendon.
I Will try to write you line or two
tonight to let you know 1 am still
alive and have not forgot you. Things
are very quiet today, but we are just
waiting for the Huns to get ready.
We stay ready all the time.
I did not find France as bad as I
thought. I like it very we'll over
here. John, just wish you could be
with me while and see what the Red
Cross is doing for US boys It is
one Of the best things in the army
Please remember that when you gay
anything to the Red Cross you are
helping some poor soldier boy.
Say, l went out to a farmhouse
and met one Of the prettiest French
girls l ever saw. She was poorly
dressed but believe me she was sweet
Well l think the war will be over
before long because the Germans are
getting very weak. l hope it viii
be over before Christmas.

the use of these tablets: Il had bad
spell with my stomach about six
months ago, and was troubled for two

pains in the pit of my stomach. Our
druggist advised me to take Cham

Bullard was on the Mexican border.
He went direct to France, from there,
and his forces were the first to enter

General Bullard was not born in
