America, unless repudate civilization and aban- don humanity and put premium on savagery and bru- taty can make no covenanted peace peace by agree ment negotiation with Germany. It would be cove nant with hell, partnership with infamy
 Nor would such peace secure peace except so long as it suited Germany We can judge the future only by the past and to Germany sacred treaties scraps of paper only Germanys whole history is record of nat onal treachery national bad fa national dishonor nat ional murder, and national infamy.
 Article 56 of The Hague Convention to which Ger many soemnly subscribed is: Family honor and rights
 e lives of persons and rrvate property as well as reg- ous convictions and practice must be respected Private property cannot be cOnfiscated."
 The world knows how Germany has observed this ar tce. There millions of individual witnesses to her fragrant breaches of it. Every acre of foreign soil Ger many has occupied bears mute unimpeachabe evidence oft. There is plenty of German evidence of it, too
 The goods of different sorts seized in the enemies territories are in such large quantities that the difficulty of knowing where to put them increases day by day. At the request of the Prussian minister of all chambers of commerce have been asked to give all possible nfora on with regard to storehouses sheds etc., which could he used temporarily to warehouse the spoil" (From the Frankfurter Zeitung, January, 1918) g.
 The German papers have been crowded with adver sements of sale of property taken from France and Bel gum Members of the Rechstag have boasted of others from the occupied territory and the destruction has been far greater than the confiscation.
 Of the old men and children murdered, of the women and girls ravshed of the noncombatans taken from their homes and depored to work for their conquero of the merchant ships sunk and passengers and crews murdered of the hospital ships sunk the hospitals and unforfed cities bombed of the mutilaton and murder by crucifx- ion and otherwise of wounded and captured soders-o all this beastness there is plenty of evidence evidence that no one can disbelieve
 The best answer to German peace propaganda is sinking more Uboats, sending to France speed ing up work along every ne and heavy subscription to the Fourth Liberty Loan. Peace must the triumph of right and justice, the defeat of Germanism not truce with it, not a compromise with it.
 Our soldiers in France are gloriously doing their part toward victory the Liberty Loan subscription must show them that the people at home are doing theirs.

Mrs. Gerard has remained almost
constantly at her husbands bedside,
and it was said at the Ritz-Carlton
last night she was still in the sick
room.
Mr.. Gerard believes he contracted
the disease on one of his early visits
to the German prison camps, DR.. Hurd
said, if the abscess was not occasion
ed by his contact as ambassador with
the foul and unsanitary conditions at
the camps, his visits greatly aggravat-
ed it.
Dr. Hurd said that the abscess had
been chronic for n long time and it
was impossible to definitely assign
the cause. Under the strain placed
on Judge Gerard by his duties in Ger
many the affliction grew steadily
worse, and when he contracted a cold
recently it became so serious that
Wednesday an immediate operation
was necessary.
Mrs. Gerard was operated on for
appendicitis at the Ritz-Carlton Dec.
10. She recovered rapidly.

FOUR ARE KILLED
IN LYNCHING RIOT
Soldiers Sent From Camp Greene
When Mob Tries to String Up
Negro Prisoner.

Winston-Salem, n. c., Nov. IS

a night of rioting in which four per-
sons were killed and a score injured
when a mob attempted to lynch Rus
sell High, a negro, held in the city
Jail on charges of shooting a farmer,
the county sheriff and attacking the
farmers wife.
The negro, who was not positively
identified, is believed to have been re-
moved elsewhere for safe keeping.
Arrival of 175 soldiers from Camp
Greene early today had a pronounced
effect on the mob, which dispersed
after word had been passed around
that the prisoner had been taken un-
der heavy guard to another city. The
military took charge of the situation
at once.
The Jail at daylight was filled with
persons who were disarmed and lock-
ed up while the mob spirit was at it's
highest pitch. The list of dead in
c1uded Rachel Levi, a young girl, who
was shot while leaning out of a win
dow during the indiscriminate shoot
ing. Robert Young, a fireman, was
killed while playing a stream of water
on the mob. Charles J. White, a con-
struction foreman, was fatally wound
ed while driving a motor car near the
scene of the rioting. The fourth vic
tim was an unidentified negro.

leave of absence to do medi-
cal and health work for the
British government, DR.. Henry
+. Moore, superintendent of the board
ed to fill his place he desires to leave
tion to the board giving as his reason
the fact that as no one has been obtain =

one to secure a substitute during my
leave of absence has failed to do so
and that no permanent arrangements
have been made up to the eve of my

free to take such measures as it deems
necessary for safeguarding the health
of the public"

ENEMY PROP AGANDISTS
TRYING To INJURE j. 5.
Public Warned to Turn
Deaf Ear to Walls
For Leniency.

Washington, Nov. 18.-Govern-
ment agents see evidences that Ger
man propaganda machinery in the
United States is being put in working
order again to promote sentiment of
leniency toward Germany in peace
terms. Consequently department Of
justice officials today warned that the
public should remain watchful against
resumption of organized propaganda
by interests formerly actively pro-
German and for the past year passive.
Concerted movement is apparent,
officials say, in utterances of many in
dividuals, few organizations formerly
active for German interests, and some
newspapers. There is no organized
leadership, it Is believed, but local in
terests have taken their cue from
official pleas from Germany for
leniency in armistice and final peace
terms.
Illustrating the attitude that the
war and it's dangers are not yet over,
it is stated that department of justice
agencies have ordered the intern
ment of some Germans since the ar
mistice was signed a week ago.
official reports show German rep
resentatives in various parts of the
world still actively engaged in spread
ing propaganda to create and en-
, nance a feeling of hostility toward the
United States and the Allied countries
Eckhardt, the notorious German am
bassador at Mexico City, again Is re-
ported doing his utmost to make
Mexico hostile to the United States
and is able to have misleading articles
published in the semi official Mexican
papers. Recently he had published
throughout Mexico that the German
army had not been defeated and that
the German navy still was fighting the
Allied navies.
