hey THERE, BUDDY!
Plans of Government for Aid Of
Discharged Soldiers.
Assistance Given in Earning Z
Living.


A disabled man can learn q new
trade If he will take training. Hum
dreds of thousands of wounded and
otherwise disabled men have been
trained for new occupations in Europe
and Canada. What Europe has done
America can do. Our congress. on
June 81. 1918. decided by a unanimous
vote that disabled American soldiers
and sailors shall, have a chance to be
retrained for civil life and voted $2,-
100000 for this purpose.
This money. and more II necessary.
is to be spent in retaining disabled
soldiers and sailors for civil life. 1t 10
to pay for travel, for tuition, for board,
for lodging. and for other necessary
expenses of those who take the courses
provided.
This training is provided for those
who have been awarded compensation.
What Is Compensation:
Congress has done more than proc
vide for retraining. 1t has also pro-
vided that disabled soldiers and sailors
who have been honorably discharged
can get compensation. This compen-
sation may be total or may be partial,
according to the extent of a man'a dis
ability.
Compensation is not the same thing
as insurance. Compensation Is anoth-
err matter and is given whether you are
insured or not. Moreover, 1t Is given
for partial as well as for total DISABLE
ity. If you do not understand about
this. ask the Bureau of War Risk In
surance, Washington, D. c.. to send
you Official Bulletin No. 2. What the
United States Government Does for Its
Fighting Men and Their Families"
How to Get Compensation.
To get compensation you must ap.
ply for it. Blanks will be furnished
for the asking by the War-Risk In.
surance Bureau. Make your applica-
ton as soon as or before you leave the
hospital. If you do not understand
about applying for compensation. the
adviser will! help you. II you are en-
titled to compensation, it is possible
that you may receive training for some
occupation free Of expense. The gov
eminent pays for 1t thru the Federal

New York, Nov. 30.-"The allies and

WOULD DECLARE WAR
That Is Gcrmany's Answer to a Breach
on Austria's Part.

Copenhagen. Nov. 29.-People of
prominence in Vienna, who are in
touch with the foreign department
there assert that in 1917 when Count
Czernin, then Austro- Hungarian for
eign minister. sought. by Emperor
Charles order to induce Emperor
William to conclude peace. he was res
ferred to supreme headquarters When
Count Czernin pointed out that Austria
was exhausted and might be Compelled
ed 1.-The same day that Austria con-
cludes a separate peace. 1t will receive
a declaration of war from Germany.
That will be our only answer to such
a breach
Count Czernin thereupon returned
to Vienna and told the emperor that
nothing could be done as Austria's
fate was indissolubly knitted with that
of GERMANY.

TO SUPREME COURT
Woman Who Sued Bcrkson Bros. APP
DeaIS Case

Because the Shawnee county dis
trict court granted Berkson Brothers
new trial after she had won a per-
sonaI injury judgment amounting to
$500, Katherine White today ap-
pealed her case to the supreme court.
The case will be assigned for hearing
some time this winter.
Katherine White was injured as the
result of a fall on dark stairway in
the Berkson building. She alleged
that the stairs had been lowered. that
the passage was dark and that the
firm was guilty of contributory negli-
gence which resulted in her injury. A
jury gave the woman judgment for
$500, but the trial court granted a
new trial and the plaintiff has ap-
pealed from the ruling of the lower
court.

been shocked by the apparent lack Of
reverence in Baptist churches. To
her worship means a real communion
with God, and when she goes into His
house, she does not want any t.ihs 10

While we canont agree with all that
brethren of other faiths hold, we
should not eschew whatever there is

SUPPORT THE PRESIDENT

- ~
There is but one governmental agen-
cy, n national instrument, through
which the United States a wage war
for the next two and a half years, and
that is the administration which was
placed in power at the last national
election.
: Amy weakening of the influence and
prestige of the administration is a
weakening of the political power and
influence of this nation with other ma
tions-a weakening of our wa power.
Our soldiers will fight as bravely
and efficiently, our sailors brave the
dangers of the summarized seas with
the same courage and success. But
the political and moral strength of the
nations government, it's power to
bring peace won by our fighting men,
will be weakened by the defeat of the
party of the administration.
As Roosevelt said in 1898, other ma
tons will look at our votes this year
from only n viewpoint. They will
draw no fine distinctions. To Europe,
the election of a Republican Congress
this year would mean a divided. nation,
a refusal to endorse and stand by the
principles President Wilson has pro-
claimed as the principles of our ma
ton and the aims and purpose of our
country.
The United States, by virtue of it's
manifested greatness and power, occu-
pies the commanding place in the
world today. Never before was it sc
respected and admired for it's. power
and might, and never before has it sc
commanded the confidence and hope
of the world by reason of it's stand for
freedom and justice and right.
President Wilson has a command
ing, political and moral influence in
the world outside of those nations
with which we are at war, and ever
among their peoples there are millions
who look to him for ~deliverance from:
war and famine and from oppression
and misgovernment.
1t a have no other effect than tc
hurt and lessen President Wilson'S
prestige and influence with the foreign
world for his party to meet defeat this
fall. 1t cannot but weaken his powe,
for good. for victory and peace, shout
his party be repudiated at the polls
by the American people.

enemies Of the United States, and tho
enemies of our soldiers In France, ano

THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN

The opportunity is now presented
to the folks at home to show themsel-
yes as big as their boys overseas who
are making the supreme sacrifice to
safeguard American liberty. The fourth
Liberty Loan drive is on and upon eV-
cry patriot is laid the obligation to en-
list with those who are serving for the
honor of the nation and the freedom
of men. And let us remember at the
outset that the government is not beg
ging, for Uncle Sam is no beggar. With
his long right arm he could reach
down into the pocket of every man IL
the country and extract from it every
cent. But he prefers a loan to secur-
ing funds by that method.
1t is proposed to place six billions of
dollars in Liberty Bonds with the peo-
pie of the country between the 2Sth
of September and the 10Th of October.
Of this vast sum North Carolina is
asked to subscribe for $50 900,
more than twice the quota assigned to
her in the third issue. She measured
up to the expectations in the first,
second and third loans and will not be
found wanting when the campaign
now on has been concluded. PatriO-
tism and determination is going to do
the work and this county may be de-
pended upon to go "over the top"
again. Let our folks take their place
on the honor roll as they have been
doing at every turn of the way since
President Wilson and Secretary Nc
Adoo asked for the first loan, by show
ing the true American spirit.
North Carolina exceeded her quota
of the Third Liberty Loan by more
than twenty per cent. She was asked
to take SIS, 651,OO0; the amount of
bonds actually subscribed for Was
above $22, 00e, 900. Fifty-two co mites
oversubscribed and in twenty-srx OF
these every town, as well os TIE cum
ty exceeded its allotment. This e. OH
