NOT "TOTING FAIR"

In some sections of the state where
the republicans consented to a CAM
paign of patriotism rather than one
of the usual political coloring they
are quietly whispering around that the
democrats are incapable of osecu
sion. They are either Withholding in
formation touching the matchIess
achievements, of the administration
during the past eighteen months, or
they are ignorant of the effective
plans that have been perfected in pre-
pairing for a successful issue. They
ought to stop and consider that the
war will be either won or lost while
Mr.. Wilson is president. If they want
Germany to win, criticism of the adj
ministration will aid in bringing about
a spirit Of dissensiOn which may help
do it. The country is facing a for
midable foe and the unstinted sup
port of every patriot is needed to make
liberty secure and bring a lasting
peace to a bleeding world. It is little
less than treason for any class of men
to speak lightly of those in authority
during this hour of peril. Every in
4elligent citizen of the country, who
desires to be fair, must admit that the
administration has made remarkable
progress in it's war activities and
only the contemplate little fellow has
the audacity to speak of it in a dis
paraging way.
When the democrats consented to
eschew politics and wage a campaign
of patriotic endeavor in honor of the
boys who are making the supreme
sacrifice they had a right to expect
fair play. 1t was their intention to
proceed in a friendly and courteous
manner instead Of fighting over petty
political matters while the boys
cover there are giving their lives
for the safety of home and country.
Firing from ambush is the worst
form of cowardice. Patriots never
resort to that kind Of thing in any
sort of conflict.

THE THRIFT

The effort of Col. T. H. Fries, state
director of the National War Savings
committee, to bring a message OF
thrift to the entire citizenship OF
North Carolina is bearing fruit. The
rural population had too long been
neglected when he decided to carry
a message of cheer to them. From
the very day war was declared ap-
peals have been made to the people
in towns and cities for cooperation
in financing the war aims of the

There has been no dearth of dollars
since the war started, nor will there
be as long as it lasts. For Uncle Sam
is no pauper. And while the city

the money so far, let it be remembered
that the opportunity came to then:

Governor Beckett is touring the
mountain section in the interest of
WarSavings and his matchless ora
toryis having a wonderful effect upon
the people wherever he goes. The
Governor talks patriotism straight
from the shoulder and gives no quar-
ters to either service Stacker, the la
bor Stacker, the food Stacker, or the
the financial Stacker. The only issue
before the people of the country this
year the governor thinks, is the win
ming of the war and he processes no
patience with any man who is. not
cooperating with the government ID
the utmost extent Of his ability. The
financial Stacker, he reckOns, is about
the worst species of the Stacker class
bf American citizenship. And he is
eternally right, Hoarding dollars is
a crime during these perilous times.

Gnats of Many Varieties.

The gnat is only one of the many
species of mosquito known to dipter-
lists. Altogether there are no fewer
than 81 as described as natives of Eu-
rope, while as many as 100 different
varieties are scattered over the rest
of the world. Of this large number
some are known by the Spanish name
of mosquito-that is, "little fly
while others are content with the title
of "gnat"; but from a scientific point
OF view there is no difference between
the insect known under these different
popular names.

Both parties are trying to find
ways and means to vote every soldier
possible for their respective candidates
and the Honorable Tom Settle need
not become excited because the demo
Gratis are busy putting their house
in order" Does he expect them to
sit idly by and permit their opponents
to capture the soldier vote? If so, a
rude awakening awaits him. Every
soldier is entitled to vote his senti-
ments and have his ballot counted as
cast. The absentee voters law has
made ample provision for this and the
fellow who would cheat a soldier in
figuring out election results deserves
no sympathy at the hands Of decent
people anywhere.

IacC lmmeQlaLely.
 Because of the nature of the military organizations carried by the ship. the war department announced that 1t would be impossible to say definitely what troops were aboard until the list of sur yivors was received. Later, however. the adjutant generals office made the list public. It follows:
 DETACHED UNITS
 Headquarters attachments and Com panies D. E and of the Twentieth engineers, forth engineer train. 107th military police and 107th supply train. One Hundredth aero squadron.
 one Hundred and Fifty-eighth aero squadron.
 Two Hundred and Thirteenth aero squadron.
 Replacement attachments Nos. 1 and of the Thirty-second division.
 Firty-one casual officers
 The Thirty second division is com posed of national guard troops from Michigan and Wisconsin. The division trained at Camp MacArthur, Tex.
 Most of the soldiers are former Wis consin and Michigan guardsmen, except those in the aero squadron, who probably were recruited from all parts of the coun- try.
 Neither the dispatch to the war depart ment nor that to the state departmen referred to the members of the Tus cania's crew. Undoubtedly many of then were saved, and when all reports are il officials hope that the loss of life vii be remarkably small. The liner, which i ! regular transport. was under convo and the warships apparently were quickl, alongside for rescue work when the tor pedo struck.
