Correspondence of The Robesonian.
Lumberton, r. 5, June 25.-The
great drive is on for War Savings
stamps and we know Robson county
will do herself proud IN this, the most
gigantic task ever undertaken to be
consummated in such short time.
Miss Lizzie Averitt Of Abbottsburg,
Mrs. Gary Todd Of Bellamy, and sister,
Miss Flossie Burroughs Of 'Filr,ing-
ton, were vary welcome guests last
evening.
The madam accommodated us to a
nice dish of green peas for dinner yes
terday This delicious and exquisite
luxury is always looked forward to
with eagerness and grateful appre-
citation.
The bereaved loved ones Of Mrs.
T. N. Higley have our sincere SYM
pathy in the great loss they have been
called upon to sustain by means of
her death. But one thing is sure, she
was good woman, and this, accord
ing to the word, guarantees to her
everlasting peace and rest. Let the
dear ones not weep as those who have
no hope.
We were exceedingly shocked at .he
sad intelligence that Mr.. R. R. Barnes
had passed. We could not for a great
while believe the report, as we had
only few days before seen him and
had delightful conversation togeth-
er. Mr.. Barnes was one Of our spe-
cial frier dis and we feel deep person
al loss in his death. He was a great
character and a friend to many who
will miss his kind benefits. We offer
Christian condolences to all who
mourn.
The services with our church at
Smyrna the second Sunday and day
before were well attended, and the
kind fellowship of the people was
greatly enjoyed. 1t is always a source
of genuine pleasure to go there.

Last Sunday was a day worth re-
membering because of the refreshing
from the presence of the good God Of
heaven upon the worshipers assem-
bled within the walls Of old Galea =!
church in Bladen. Our hearts told US
it was good to be there. 1t was a
great pleasure to have one Of our aged
members, Mrs. Sarah Ann White, who
underwent a serious operation at the
Thompson hospital four or five weeks
ago, worship with us Saturday and
at one of the services Sunday. While
she is yet a little feeble, her appear
ance indicates that she will soon be
entirely herself again and we rejoice
with her and the good family
We are glad to note the wonderful
success of our Allies in Europe, and
hope for them continued success.

London, Sept. 20.--A sensation has
been caused by letter signed "Ex-
Minister" published in the London
Times. asking: Are we all going mad?''
The writer, whose identity is the sub
jeCt of much guess work, Lord Rose
bery's name being most frequently
mentioned, considers that the immediate
dissolution of Parliament would be a
source of dissipation. and adds:
I'm the midst of the terrible stress
Of this gigantic war. perhaps at the
supreme crisis Of this war, when we are
straining every muscle and making every
sacrifice to concentrate on the struggle
for life or death, are we going to
plunge Great Britain. and Ireland be-
sides. into the disruptive chaos of a gen.
eral election?--a general election with
all its ncalculable issues. its distraction
from the only purpose. which signifies al

that the Germans have lost theif
superiority In the air. Already the En-
tente has from two to three times the
number of airplanes, and when the
Americans deliver flying machines in
great numbers one can easily under
stand that the Central Powers cannot
maintain their air service on level
with that of the Entente.
The German people is strained to the
utmost The police in town and country
are mobilized, and 7 myself have seen
hunchbacks in uniform. Crime is in
creasing weekly, and in Berlin burglary
Is rife. Among those mobilized are
youths Of eighteen and men of sixty,
and criminals
THE morale OF the soldiers Is bad.
Even after the offensive in May the SOL
diers had lost hope They don't want to
go back to the front. The military
courts are working daily to sentence
deserters."
In his journey to Kiel. the speaker
said, he found railwaymen on strike. and
the military train in which he Travelled
was derailed.
At present everywhere could be heard
outspoken talk about revolution against
Hindenburg who six months ago was
Germanys idol. Thousands of strong
fists are now raised by people who con-
denim him. At present most Germans
are ready to abstain from conquests In
the east and also to discuss the cesson
of lsace-Lorraine.
Last autumn there was talk about a
record harvest. but this was only pose.
This year Germany has had a bad po-
tato crop. In Rumania. the crops are
failing, and from the Ukraine Germany
cannot get many tons Of commodities.
"In leading circles the prospect is
feared, and by the people, too. But there
is no other way for Germany to get
peace than by proclaIming that she will
leave territorial questions to be settled
at the peace conference"
For Germany's own sake, the speaker
| said that he hoped the German people
| who wanted peace as soon as possible
| would force through a peace endeavor
| against the military party.

Gustaf Sioesteen, a well-known author
and German correspondent of the Goth
enburg Misunderstanding, who Is known for
his advanced pro-German views, has left
Germany because the censor has probib-
tied him from telling the truth in his
messages Last night he spoke at a
great meeting in Gothenburg.
THE time is graver than ever he
said. land therefore one must tell the
truth. One cannot keep silent when one
has lived in Germany.
AT first we got the impression that
the war was one of defense, but after
ward we found out that It was wild
war Of conquest with the object Of sub
jugating other peoples and creating an
entire system Of vassal States.
our own country has the greatest in
terest in the annihilation of policy of
vassal states The world Is longing for
peace, and 1t is ones duty to tell the
truth.
Several times It has been declared
in Germany that the war had reached
the turning point Last spring the SOL
diers in the trenches were filled with joy,
hoping for peace within two months.
Officers and staff were convinced of peace
in the autumn after a German victory.
There was no thought of a peace of con-
ciliation. At that time it was high trea-
son to speak of the restoration Of Bel
gium.
The German offensive cost half a
million human beings. 1t was said that
the offensive must be success Our
last man Is in it
The Entente had reserves. On March
81 the offensive started, but was con-
verted into a victory for the Entente
The reason was the falling off of the
German reserves, their power declining
from lack of food, while Foch was able
to strike with many millions more thar

This points to the failure Of the Ger.
