successful, the smaller size will be

by the shipping board in concrete

German Women in United States
Required to Register.

German women in the United States
are required to register with chiefs
of police or postmasters between
June II and 26, under regulations
iss sued Tuesday by the Department of
Justice.
In cities of 5000 or more poLula-
tion by the 1910 census, the regis
tration is to be conducted by police
and in smaller communities and coun-
try districts by postmasters under the
same rule as governed the registra-
ton Of German males three months
ago. Finger prints will be taken, but
every effort will be made to give
courteous treatment to the " men and
avoid the impression that the regis
tration process implies any suspicion
of guilt.
1t is estimated that about 400,OCO
German women classed as enemy
aliens live in the United States. This
number includes many women born
in the United States, but married to
Germans who never were naturalized
Since women assume the nationality
of their husbands. these women will
have to be considered subject 20 reg
istration. Women whose husbands OF
fathers have been naturalized or who
have become naturaliZcd in their own
names are not included in the class
required to enroll.

Wonderful Work of This Organiza-
ton in One Month.

The work accomplished by the
American Red Cross in April surpass-
ed all records of the organization
since it took up it's activities in
France. says dispatch from Paris.
Food and drink were supplied to
American soldiers on the way from
ports of entry in France to the va
rious camps. Nine rest stations on
the American lines of communication
and seven canteens served 454,OOO
meals.
A complete hospital with 200 beds
was established in a chateau imme-
diately behind the front. A hospital
of 500 beds is being erected at fam
Gus race track near Paris. Three
more dispensaries have been opened at
ports. Eighty beds have been added
to an American hospital in Paris, rs
beds at Neuilly, 100 beds at Military
Hospital No. 1, 100 at Military Hos
pital No. 2, and 60 at Military Hospi-
tai No. 3.
Convalescent homes have been op-
| ened at Cannes and Blarritz. Nine
teen artificial arms and 1859 artificial
legs were distributed gratis. Much as.
| SlSCance was given to large number
of French hospitals with special at
tention for those containing Ameri
can wounded
For Americans at the front there
was completed shower bath estab
lishment, with equipment for remov
ing vernin, which was put into oper

FIGHT OR WORK
Every Man of Draft Age Mnst
Work or Figh.-President AL
thorized to Call to Colors All
Men Of Draft Age Who Can Be
Equipped or Trained.

Two important steps were taken
Thursday toward rerfect!ng the tassl
Of putting the nation or war basis.
Soon after Provost Marshall Cen
eral Crowder had promulgated a
drastic amendment to the selective
service regulations requiring every
man of draft age to work or fight,
Secretary Baker appeared before the
House military committee and asked
that President Wilson be authorized
TO call to the colors all men of craft
age who can be equipped and trained.
The committee promptly and unani-
mously voted the authority into the
army appropriation bill about to be
reported to the House. /
Under existing law power is given
TO draft one million fighting men in
addition to special units. This limit
soon will be reached with men con-
constantly going into camp to re-
place those sailing for France as fast
as ships can be provided to take them.
With the law changed as the Presi-
dent desires, the man power OF the
country will be drawn upon Tor what
ever force may be necessary to win
the war. -.
General Crowder's new regulation
is far reaching in scope and touches
not only habitual idlers but also re-
ouires that draft registrants now in
occupations held to be non-useful seek
new Jobs or take their places IN the
army. Clerks in stores, walters, bar
tenders, employees at places OF amuse-
ment. passenger elevator men and 9th
er employees around hotels, Clubs and
business buildings as we'll as gam
blers. fortune tellers ard race track
and bucketshop attendants all IL L
among those classed as non-usefully J
engaged Enforcement OF the rule Is
expected to add some rHen TO the
army and to do more important ser:
vice in improving the labor sltuatlor
in essential industries
The House military committees ae
ton after hearing Secretary Bake1
completed the army bill with prcvi
sion for the pay of three million mel
and with ordnance appropriations OF
the basis of an army Of four million
The measure will be laid before tht
!.ouse carrying a total Of S9,569, ,l29,
900 of actual appropriations and au
thorization for contracts amounting t.
$2,464 ,416,000 more.
Mr.. Baker told the committee il
executive session the Presidents rea
sons for asking that no limit be plac
ed upon the number of draft men t
be called. Members said later it wa
estimated that an army of five mil
lion could be raised without changin
the draft ages.

DAY TO FAST AND PRAY.
Presidents Proclamation Naming May
30 as Day of Humiliation, Fast
ing and Prayer.

AS stated in The Robson
ian, National Memorial day, May 80,
has been designated by President
Wilson as a day of public humiliation,
prayer and fasting.
The proclamation follows:
"Whereas the Congress of the
United States, on the second day OF
April last, passed the following reso-
luton:
"'Resolved by the Senate (the
House of Representatives concurrlng)
that it being a duty peculiarly lncurn-
bent in a time of war, humbly and de-
voutly to acknowledge our dependence
on Almighty God and to implore His
aid and protection, the President OF
the United States, be, and is hereby
requested, to recommend a day OF
public humiliation, prayer and fasting
to be observed by the people Of the
United States with religious solemnl-
ty and the offering of fervent suppl
cations to Almighty God for the safe
ty of our cause, His blessing on our
arms and a speedy restoration Of an
honorable and lasting peace to the
nations of the earth
"And whereas it has always been
the reverent habit of the people of
the United States to turn in humble
appeal to Almighty God for his gu.d-
ance in the affairs of their common
life:
"Now, therefore, l, Woodrow Will
son, President of the United States
of America, do hereby proclaim
Thursday, the thirtieth day of May, a
day already freighted with sacred
and stimulating memories, a day OF
public humiliation, prayer and fast
ing, and to exhort my fellow citizens
OF all faiths and creeds to assemble
on that day in their several places OF
worship and there, as we'll as in their
homes, to pray Almighty God that He
may forgive our sins and shortcom-
lngs as a people and purify oul
hearts to see and love the truth, tc
accept and defend all things that are
just and right, and to purpose only
those righteous acts and judgments
which are in conformity with His
will, beseeching Him that He viii
give victory to our armies as they
light for freedom, wisdom to those
who take counsel in our behalf il
tnese days of dark struggle and per
piexlty, and steadfastness to our peo
pie to make sacrifices to the utmos
IN support of what is just and true
bringing us at last the peace in whicl
mems hearts can be at rest becaus
IT is founded upon mercy, justice AM
good will"

A LIVELIER GAIT NEEDED.
Boys in France Must Eat, But They
Must Be Made to Feel They Have a
Country Worth Fighting For
Hcme Folks Must Stand Back of
Them.

Winston-salem, May 21.-The
American Army in France now one
and half million brawny, brave SOL
diers, eats 6.750,000 pounds Of food a
day. This food must be delivered at
every point where American soldiers
have been stationed, whether it be on
the front line trench or back in the
shops where the men are at work, or
at base supply stations.
A year ago this country had an
army of only 1924 officers and 2O2,-
$40 enlisted men. Today there are
123,SO1 officers and 1929 enlisted
men. This increase made by the
American army in one year, as we'll
as the amount Of food required daily
for it's support indicates the size of
the money problem that confronts the
people at home in America who are
called on to stand back of the men
sent to do their fighting.
Furnishing food to the soldiers is
just one item Of expense connected
with financing the war. AS import,

FLOYD MADE EN- SIT UP.
How a Former Lumberton Negro AS
tOnished the Natives at Dillon and
Came to Grief by the Ford route.

In Thursdays Robesonian brief
mention was made of how Floyd
Faulk, a negro who formerly lived in
Lumberton, appropriated Ford car
in Dillon, came by Lumberton and
picked up a dusky damsel, and was
beating it down Wilson way when his
little game was rudely blocked. The
Dillon Herald last week had the fol-
lowing story of how Floyd astonished
the natives in that town:
"Floyd Faulk is a husky young ne
gro who has been living at Newport
News. Floyd blew into town a few
days ago wearing sport suit and
displaying evidences of sudden wealth.
He was something of wonder to the
young negroes Of the town who knew
nothing Of the great world outside,
and what Floyd told them of his ex-
ploits in the big cities would make the
most daring knight of feudal days
feel like a piker. But the time came
for Floyd to make a getaway and
it was an unlucky day for him when
he conceived the idea of taking Mr..
l.. C. Braddy's Ford automobile back
to Virginia.
It was some time during the early
nOufS Oh sunday HlOIIliIlS CIdt Ivy u
drew the staple to Mr.. Braddy's ga
rage and possessed himself of the
Ford Leaving the garage he drove
around several blocks and then down
an alley in an effort to throw his
pursuers off the trail. But as it hap
| pened a rain had fallen some time dur
ing the night and it was no trouble
to track the car from the garage to
the public road leading to Little Rock
and then across Harllee's bridge to
the North Carolina line. Sheriff
Lane got line on Floyd's route and
followed it through Lumberton into
Fayetteville and then on to Wilson
N. c., where he overlook Floyd ano
a dark damsel who was accompany
ing him back to the Virginia city. Mr.
Brady, who accompanied Sheriff
Lane as far as Fayetteville, returned
to Dillon Sunday evening, but went K
Wilson Monday morning in Response
to a telegram from the sheriff stat
ing that he had Floyd and the car.
u "Floyd's home is near Fairmont
but his place of residence until tn
summer term of court convenes will
be at the Dillon county Jail"

GERMAN OFFENSIVE OF TER
ROR AGAINST CIVILIANS.
Outstanding Feature of German
Methods is Effort to Terrorize
Women, Children and Old Men at
Home

Home.
4 German offensive Of terror
against the civilian population of
France and Italy. was described
Thursday at New York by Henry P.
Dawson on his return from 10000
mile tour of inspection of Red Cross
work abroad. He is chairman of the
Red Cross war. council and came back
to lnaugurate the drive for $1OO,OOO,-
600. So. sa...
The outstanding feature of Ger
man methods at the present time" he
sa!d, is the effort to terrorize women,
cnlldren and old men at home. While
the German troops are making their
drive on the front, airplanes are
bombing nearly every night towns be-
hind the lines with the deliberate and
declared purpose of terrorizing civil
ians."
Mr.. Dawson described the attempt
TO uphold civilian morale as zone of
the great missions Of the Red Cross"
adding:
You need have no concern for Ger
man propaganda where the Red Cross
is working. We have workers ali
over Italy and France CARRYING mes
sage of comfort and cheer. helping
especially to care for the children and
to provide for the sick and the needy,
! particularly among soldiers families" :"
Mr.. Dawson had personal expert
ence with German terrorizing of civil
! lans from the air at night He was in
a town in France when 81 people were
killed and houses demolished by a
German airplane which had stolen
| through q barrage and flew as low as
800 feet. American ambulance men
busted themselves at rescue work and
, the airplane returned and bombed
them. He regards the bombing of
Paris by big guns as part of the of
fensive of terror and says that the
damage to buildings is SO slight that
one might drive about the city a week
without noticing it unless it should
be pointed out.
