JEWISH WAR RELIEF

AAS W Pl,01I.1@ACknOWle
of Services Rendered.
To the Editor of The Robesonian:
The nation wide campaign for con-
tributions in aid of Jewish war relief
is now at an end, and reports show
that the American people have again
responded nobly to the call of suffer-
ing humanity and that the campaign
has met with all the success that the
most sanguine could have hoped. Con-
sidering population, wealth, and other
factors, we know of no community
where the results obtained were great
er than right here in Lumberton. The
committee in charge Of solicitation
made a thorough and complete can
vass, and all were given an opportuni-
ty to contribute. With one exception
all who were solicited responded and
contributed. Some gifts were hand
some in amount, while others evidenc-
ed sacrificial giving.
make this public acknowledgement
express our deep appreciation to our
W
also wish to here express our obliga-
ton to the splendid committee Of la
dies who co-operated with the commit
tee of solicitation in securing contri-
buttons, and as the result of whose ef-
forts handsome sum was added to
the amount collected, This committee
was composed of Mesdames R. E.
Lewis, Joe Blacker, r. C. Lawrence,
John McAllister, T. C. Johnson. S. Nc
Intyre, J. A. Sharpe, c. H. Boyd, and
Misses Louise Townsend, Anna Neal
Fuller, Amanda McDiarmid.
Our grateful acknowledgements are
also made to the committee Of young
ladies', under the supervision of Miss
Lillian Proctor, who attended daily at
the tobacco warehouses and solicited
contributions of tobacco from farmers
bringing tobacco for sale on this mar
ket. The tobacco thus contributed
was sold by these young ladies and
several hundred dollars secured there
from. The assistance rendered by
these tireless young ladies and by
Miss Proctor cannot be overestimated
The work Of Mr. E. L. Hamilton at
the Lumberton and Dresden mills also
deserves especial mention. We know
Of no better worker anywhere than
Mr.. Hamilton. Simply tell him what
amount you wish him to raise and
your trouble is at an end. At the
time appointed he will present himsel!
with a check for more than the amount
requested. Mr.. Mcdaniel of the Jen-
nings mill also rendered material as
sistance by securing contributions
from their employees.
AS the result Of the generosity Of
our people the aggregate amount con:
tributed amounted to $1,912.12 anC
check for this amount has been for.

When we say that this amount lacks
but three or four hundred dollars o1
being as much as was contributed te
the Red Cross during the last cam
paign, the liberality Of our people and
their kindly feeling for their Jewish
brethren is made manifest. The local
Hebrews feel deeply grateful! to their
fellow-townsmen for their cooperation
and contributions which have enabled
the committee to make such splen-

crops is necessary to the conduct of
the war, and while it is not the in
tention Of the War Finance corpora

forded by Federal reserve banks for

TELLS HOW HE IS
RELIEVED OF BAD
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Liver Disorder and Catarrh of the
Head Also Wiped Out Declares
Rev. F. w. Vance in Signed
Statement.
SOUTH CAROLINA
PREACHER TESTIFIEs

Here is another signed statement
telling of what the new natural herb
medicine, Dreco, has accomplished
in case of liver and kidney complaint
combined with catarrh of The head.
"Dreco has done me lots of good
in a very short time. My complaint
was kidney and liver trouble and ca
tarrh of the head. I can say truth
fully that Dreco has relieved me and
l expect by continuing to use this
medicine l shall be, fully relieved and
do now recommend it to any and all
who may suffer with the above COM
plants"
(Signed) REV. F. w. VANCE.
Spartanburg, S. C.
Mr.. Vance is one of the most prom
lnent colored citizens of South Caro-
lima. He is pastor in a Methodist
Episcopal church and a member of the
South Carolina Conference.
Dreco is a combination of roots,
herbs, barks and berries noted for
their medicinal value. It is the good
old natural medicine that our sturdy
grandparents used in the days when
doctors were few and hard to reach.
Dreco has proven it's value in all
cases where safe and sure natural
medicine is required. It is particular
ly useful in kidney, liver and stomach
disorders, catarrh, rheumatism, head
aches, nervousness and kindred ills.
Dreco is not an expensive medicine.
1t is within the reach of all-poor and
rich alike. It is dispensed regularly
by good druggists everywhere and is
particularly recommended in Lumber
ton by all good druggists.

LIFT OFF CoRNs!
With fingers! Corns and cal

Magic! just drop a little Freezone
on that touchy corn, instantly it stops
aching, then you lift the corn off with
the fingers. Truly! No humbug!

heath. His retirement would be SER
iously regretted by many Kentucky

Germans Pushed Back.

Snow and cold weather also are
giving the Italians a chance further to
strengthen their northern line against
the AuStro-Germans. Aside from re-
ciprocal artillery duels little fighting
of moment is in progress. In an en-
deavor to offset their loss of ground,
resulting from having been driven
back across the lower Pave river,
the enemy has tried to effect land
ing on the west bank of the stream a
short distance from the mouth Of the
Piave. His boats, however, were
caught under the fire of the Italian
guns and the project had to be given
up.

Won Kuehlmann Dispatched
Post Haste From Berlin
to Brest-Litovsk.
FALSE, CRIES TROTSKY
Generals From Front Declare
Their Troops Are Ready
Again to Shoot Germans.

The virtual collapse Of the negotia-
tions between the central powers and
the Russian bolsheviki for peace and
the possibility that hostilities again
may be resumed by the Russians on
the eastern front, even though with
only "a comparative small army, have
caused surprise and perturbation in
Berlin and Vienna. Realizing the
seriousness of the situation, the Ger
man and Austrian emperors have
conferred at length with their chiefs
@ state and the German and Austro-
Hungarian foreign ministers, who
attended the peace negotiations al
Brest-Liiovsk, have been sent back
to their post haste, probably for the
purpose OF attempting to moderate
the situation.
Not alone are Leon TrOtsky, the
bolsheviki foreign minister, and the
other leaders OF the counter.revolu-
ton in Russia utterly dissatisfied with
the terms of the peace proposals of
the central powers, but the heads Of
the German socialist factions also
have volubly expressed their antag-
onism to those sections Of them which
call for the retention of Poland, Lith-
ulnia, Courllnd and other territory
now in possession Of the invaders.
Trotsky, as the mouthpiece Of the
bolsheviki, has announced in unmis-
takeable terms that the Russian work
ers will not accept the peace propos-
ais, which he terms "hypocritical.

Peace Farley Fails.

Reports from Russia indicate that
the negotiations for peace between
the bolsheviki government and the
Teutonic allies have reached a virtual
failure owing to the unreasonable de-
mand of the Teutons. Particularly
distasteful to the Russians is the atti-
tude of the central powers with re-
gard to holding Poland, Lithaunia and
Courland and their determination TO
retain garrisons at Riga, Libau and
other Baltic ports.

Won By the French On the
Italian Front On New
Years Day.
AUSTRIANS IN SAD PLIGHT
Even the Officers We're Poor
ly Clothed and All We're
Under Fed.

The French in their recent success
ful operation on Monte Tomba cap
tured more prisoners than they had
men engaged, according TO a veteran
officer who witnessed the fight. From
the top Of a nearby hill he saw the
French attack aud afterwards saw the
prisoners, guns and booty brought in.
ut was a record-making fight in
many respects, he declared. Gust
think, the French took more prison
ers than they had men engaged,
which is among the records in mill
tl-y ANIMALS. They also captured
their first Austrian prisoners, which
is another milestone for them. as
heretofore they had captured only
c. rmans.
"In addition TO the AGO prisoners
we counted 900 dead on the ground
and no one knows how many more
were in the caverns and underbushes.
"When the prisoners were brought
in never saw a more miserable, pitt
ful, starved lot of soldiers. They
looked like the rifr-raT from tn,
slums of some big city. Even tht
officers appeared underfed and under
clothed, and | only saw one with
whole pair Of breeches.
"When the officers were lined VI
there were forty-two Austrians ant
two Germans. The Austrians wer,
told they would receive the usua
treatment given officers and gentle
men, but the two Germans were tolC
plainly that they would receive eX
actly the same treatment given French
officers in Germany. The group OF
Austrian officers was impressed great
ly at this and openly declared their
hatred of the Germans. A little later
we heard the Austrian soldiers cheer
ing and it turned out they were
cheering their French captors.

BIOGRAPHY
AND SCIENCE
Two Excellent Paper Heard
By Athenaeum Thurs
day Night.

The Atheuaeum met at Hotel Lath-
am Thursday night with 20 members
present. Two excellent papers were
read.
Lucian II. Davis in "A Prophet
Without Honor" gave fine biograph-
ical sketch Of Christopher Columbus,
the great mariner whose genius and
courage discovered the new world,
which is now called upon to settle the
great struggle in the old world His
tribute to America-that should have
been to Columbia-was as patriotic
as il was beautiful.
DR.. Lewis Powell followed with
a scientific paper on Suggestive
Therapeutics, that took a wide range
into all kinds OF mind cures, Chris
tan science, telepathy, mesmeriSm,
hypnotism, magnetism and the power
OF mind over matter. DR.. Powell op-
posed most of the 'isms" but recog-
nized the curative powers of some OF
them to an extent that got him into a
spirited controversity with the medi-
cal members. The papers were both
discussed by nearly every one pres
ent and the meeting was an unusually
interesting one. Those present were:
