robson ON HONOR ROLL.
In the Health Bulletin. publishe


by the State Board of Health, for
September, review is given Of what
has been accomplished under the law
passed by the General Assembly OF
1917, requiring Statewide inspection
of all public school children every
three years. "To be entirely sue
cessful," the article states, "medica
inspection must accomplish two
things: first, teach applied hygiene
second, find the defective children
and get them treated" And judging
success by this standard, Robeson is
mentioned as one of nineteen counties
in the State "that should be PLACED
in the honor column for a job vel
DONE" 1t is gratifying to receive tes
timony from this high source to tn
character Of the work that has bee1

When a man makes up his mind
that the only way out of his difficult
ties is to kill himself and decides to
take his wife along with him because
she is such a good pal he does not
want to leave her in the world, he
should by all means start by killing
himself good and dead, and not until
after he is plumb dead should. he un-
dertake the second part of the job
Chas. Chaplin, New York newspa-

Of shooting his wife dead frs. and
then his nerve failed him and he is

AMSTERDAM, Feb. 1.-The Han delsblad today publishes series of documents obtained secretly from Ger man archives, showing the steps which led to the adoption by Germany of her unrestricted submarine campaign a year ago. The following is a sum- mary of the documents:
 At the close of 1915 the German ad- miralty prepared a memorandum to show that unrestricted U-boat war fare Vould compel Great Britain to sue for peace within six months. The word ing of this memorandum indicates that the admiralty already had decided to adopt this intensified warfare, but de- sired to convince the emperor, the i'm perial chancellor and the foreign of flee of the certainty of the good results on economies and general grounds. rather than merely on military grounds.
 Accordingly the memorandum, based it's arguments on statistics of food prices freight and insurance rates in Great Britain. It pointed out the effects which even the restricted submarine war had shown on prices of the essen- tial commodities, on the balance of trade and on the morale of the English people, and deduced from this that with unrestricted submarine warfare England could hold out only a short period against these factors.
 Feared Effect on NeutraIs
 The memorandum first was submit | ted to Dr. von Bethmann- Hollweg, the | imperial chancellor, and then to Dr Karl Helfferich, vice chancellor. The latter rejected it on the ground that ii was impossible to set a limit on Eng

AMSTERDAM, Feb. 1.-Dr. Alex ander Wekerle, Hungarian premier, in addressing the diet today, de- clared:
 Our readiness for peace is sin cere and earnest. We never strove nor do we strive for conquests."
 We are ready to seek a just un- derstanding which will lead to last ing peace and the security of that peace and of international agree ments,' Premier Wekerle added, ac- cording to the advices reaching here from Budapest.
 The Hungarian premier asserted that the only conditions required were that the integrity of his coun- try's territory should remain unim- paired and that it should have lib- erty to regulate it's internal affairs. He continued:
 we will oppose attempts to SOW dissension among us, but whether the near future brings us peace or unavoidable battle, 1t is certain we desire to maintain our alliance with Germany as one of the most effec tive safeguards to peace" Premier Wekerle said he hoped the arrangements which Hungary was able to make with Germany would make secure his country's economic life. That large field of activity which we need for our development and our efforts to create close rela- tions with Germany are not directed | against other states" he concluded

 WITH GERMAN WAYS

ANNAPOLIS. Md, Feb. 1.-The United States naval reserve force, now embracing 69,000 men and 7,S00 off cers lis larger than the regular navy when war was declared and three times as large as in the Spanish American war" Secretary Daniels declared today in addressing the special graduation class of 300 reserve officers at the na- val academy.
 This is wonderful record for service authorized eighteen months ago." the secretary continued, and it's creation has made possible many phases of the diversified work the navy has been called upon to do."
 Mir Daniels told the young officers, who have successfully completed the prescribed 14 weeks course that when they left Annapolis today they would find important assignments awaiting them and their achievements would depend upon themselves.
 The ideal of the navy in war, the sec retary said, was contained in Benjamin Franklin's order to the navy's first captain. John Paul Jones. to show at all times a tender regard for non -com- batants"
 If you wish to find the difference in Americas method of warfare and Ger many's, it is embodied in Franklin's in structions to Jones'" MT Daniels said, for the American regards war as a tragedy
 Much of the secretary's address was ! taken up with a recital of the brilliant achievements of the American destroy CT flotilla in the war and the bravery of American gun crews aboard mer- chantmen.
 Read the story of the Cassin," he said, which. though struck by tor pedo and seriously crippled, refused to return to port as long as there ap | peared to be a chance of engaging the | submarine. The whole country was thrilled by the account of the exploit of i the Tanning and the Nicholson in de- stroying a German submarine and cap l turing its entire crew. The British ad- miral intcommending officers and men said: The whole affair reflects credit on the discipline and training of the l United States flotilla.'
 "The first officer lost in the present conflict, Lieutenant Clarence C. Thom- as, after the Vacuum was sunk. cheered his freezing men as they were | tossed about in an open boat far from

Invading the home of Mrs. Fisher on Texas street, Mexican named Felipe Alvarez shot down the woman and her two small children. AL Varez was pursued by a policeman for ten blocks to the Mexican quarter where he took refuge in small house. When the policeman, Octaviano Perea, and a civilian knocked at the door of the house both men were shot and in- stantly killed.
 The shots attracted the. attention of the military police and within a few minutes the house was surrounded by hundred armed soldiers and officers. volley after volley was poured into the house without dislodging the inmate.

Argentina Is
 Ready to End
 Neutral
Republican A. p. Leased Wlrel

BUENOS AIRES, Feb. 1.-The min ister of war has recalled Argentina's military attaches from Berlin and Vienna. In political circles this action is regarded as significant and connect ed with the sinking of the Argentine steamship Mnistro lrriendo, January 26.
 The Argentine minister to France has confirmed the fact that the steamship was flying the Argentine flag when sunk. The government has not an nounced by what authority the change of flags was made after leaving this country-the vessel having sailed un- der the French flag-but regards the sinking as an unfriendy act even though the use of the homo flag was unauthorized. Tho assumption in political circles hero is that Germany does not intend to keep her promises in regard to Arsentina's shipping.
 The situation here is tense and the authorities are maintaining more than their usual silence on the subject, but several events at the government house late today led to the belief that the government at last is preparing to take an important step. After an un- usually long lapse of time, tho foreign otflCe touay repiIeo 10 the notes or Peru and Uruguay, which notified Ar gentina of their rupture of relations with Germany, and that of Brazil in forming Argentina of her sister coun- try's state of war with tho central powers.
 Argentina, in the three notes sent in reply, expressed her appreciation and warmest sympathy with the three other South American countries. The note to Brazil, which was the mos. significant, says that the Argentine government has followed all the phase: of the causes which led to "ths jus, resolution" and closes with an expres sion of homage to the Brazilian nation
 These notes and the simultaneous re. call of the military attaches from Der lin and Vienna are regarded as indi- eating that the country is vergins or crisis in it's international relations 1t also was announced today that ar army officer, who has been acting a. correspondent in Berlin for La Neeeen lso has been recalled by the minister of war.
