Correspondence of The Robesonian.
Parkton, July 9.-Our town and
community were blessed with fine
rain yesterday evening and it was
badly needed and of course every
one should be thankful. It was not
only a blessing to the vegetable
world but to human as well. The
dust settled and every thing seems
to take new life.
The corn crop is poor up our way.
Mr.. T. J. Edwards and Maj. J. B. Ma
10y has some very good corn but
most all early corn is failure. The
cotton is good, labor scarce and every
body thinks he or she has more
work to do than anybody else, but
when the war is over things will
change.
There was no preaching in our town
Sunday as Rev. j. L. Jenkins, pastor
of the Baptist church, was holding a
meeting up in Virginia and the
preacher that was to have filled TIE
pulpit of the Baptist was delayed by
sickness; but large part of our town
and community went down to Red
Springs to hear the great Evangelist
McLendon preach, and believe me, he
is some preacher. Sunday was our
first to hear him and we can truthful
ly say that he is great entertainer,
and is doing great good. He can hit
sin the hardest we believe we ever
heard. I can say further that l nev-
,er saw quite so many people attend
services in all my life All the pas
tors of the churches of the town at
tend and heartily cooperate and in
dorse the EVANGELIST. The singing
of course is fine.

present. Mrs. Walker is Quite sick

With The American Army of Oc-
Icupation, Saturday, Dec. 28.-Chris-
tiaH Donhauser, the young German
aviator who claims to have shot
down Quentin Roosevelt near Cham
bry, France, on July A. told the cor
respondent today of the battle:
Il was one of party of six Ger
man aviators and on July Ia sighted
six American machines east of Fere-
En- Tardenois. One American who,
1 learned later, was Quentin Roose-
yelt, was ahead of the rest OF his
squadron and off to one side. He
came straight at me and swooped
down under his machine. We see
sawed back and forth, peppering
away and each trying to gain the
advantage by climbing above each
other
Roosevelt made several loops and
I admired his gameness. Once i
thought his machine gun was jam
med but a second later he began
again to shoot and felt the bullets

above him and swooped down TO
within 20 meters of him, firing all the
time. Then saw my opponent COLI
lapse and his machine began to fall"

ed officer and speaks English. has
relatives living in Michigan. He was
credited with 30 aerial victories in
the fighting after July first when he

Polish Pogr01r1s
Hun Propaganda
Saws Pndergze,Ski

Chicago, Dec. Distorted Ger
man propaganda and "Malicious
agitation" were blamed for the re-
ports of pogroms in Poland in a
cablegram received today by John
Smulzh, president of the National
Polish department, from Ignace J.
Paderewski, the noted musician. Mr..
SmuIzki said Paderewski recently
sailed from Danzig in a British crIIis-
er from London.
The cablegram said the recent dis
turbances in eastern Galacia were
not pogroms at all, but were really
due to the wholesale release Of crirni
nails, and as a result sixty of the.
malefactors were Immediately shot byd
Polish troops and 1,500 were arrested.
Out of that number it was later learn
ed that so per cent were Ruthenians,
80 per cent Poles, and only 10 per cent
Jews, so it sevident that religious
persecution could not have been the
basis for these disturbances"
The cabIegram describes internal
conditions in Poland as extremely
acute" recites the need OF immediate
supplies of food, blankets and cloth
ing, and continues: Prospects for
assistance from the inter- Allied food
administration are remote as they ex-
pect the Polish government to deposit
2,000,0O0 pounds sterling for carry
ing out effective relief work, which
is out of the question as the Polish
government in its present formation
is poWerless to raise such a loan.'

Labor VIII Not
Form National
Political Party

New York, Dec. 30-The executive
council of The Federation Of Labor at
a special session here, rejected pro-
posal calling for the formation Of g.
national political labor party, but
voted to send delegates to the Inter
national Labor Conference to be
held at Versailles next month.
Samuel Gompers, president Of the
federation, after the meeting, said
the council considered "it is not the
province Of the central bodies and
state federations to form or become
part Of a national labor party" as the
best interests of labor would be serv-
ed "by more thorough organization
of the workers, skilled and unskilled,
in the trades union movement" He
added that there was no objection,
however, to central or state orgauiza-
tions entering the political field,
either inependently or otherwise.
Mrs. Gompers announced the selec-
ton of the following delegates to the
international Labor conferences: Mr..
Gompers, James Duncan, president Of
the Granite Cutters international as
sociation of America; John r. Alpine,
president of the United Association
of Plumbers and Filters; Frank Duff

tary and treasurer of the United Mine

New York, Dec. 2S.-The thousands
of visitors who daily throng the
dreadnaughts, destroyers and other
naval craft at anchor in North. river
are finding the sailors as uncommuni-
cative as their soldier brothers in
arms as regards their own personal
experiences on the other side. How
ever, now and then visitor is re-
warded after much questioning, with
a story-always about someone else
that promises to fill space in the an
nails of our naval participation in the
war.
! On the Navada, Capt VIM. C. Cole is
held in high esteem by his men. This
is the reason. as related by a sailor
and corroborated by others:
Eve were out in the North sea at
9 O'Clock in the morning when, in the
thick fog, we ran into a flock of cruis-
ers. We set signals to show who we
were but these cruisers did not an
sweF.
'aThe captain ordered us to show our
signals once more and we did, and
when there was no answer he gave
the order: Sound quarters, train all
guns and open fire.
Just then, the sailor added sadly,
the cruisers signalled that they be-
longed to the British grand fleet. and
the Nevada lost a chance to fight the
whole fleet single handed.
Other members of the Nevada's
crew said those foggy early morning
moments were the most thrilling that
they put in during the war.

Coblenz, Friday, Dec. 27.-Rules
for the guidance of inhabitants of
regions occupied by American forces
were issued today by General Per-
shing.
Except for minor regulations the
Americans have not interfered in
local affairs up till today. Cafes
have been open and theaters filled
night after night. Newspapers, un-
til recently have published without
restraint such articles as they desfr-
ed, while crowds promenaded the
streets until midnight and even lat
er.
The Germans had come to believe
that. such conditions would continue
and while there We're no serious in
cidents as result of the tolerant
rule of the Americans. it was deem
ed best to check any tendency to-
ward abuse.
The regulations published today
were signed by General James J..
McAndrew, chief of staff, "by COM
mand of General Pershing." In
drafting them an effort was made to
avoid the inclusion of any rules
which would merely humiliate the

Berlin. Dec. 2S.--FormaI objection
TO demonstratiye entry of Posen by
Ignace Jan PaderewskI has been
made BY the German government, ac-
cording TO The Tagebiatt. This OBJ
lection has been made on the ground
that safe conduct was granted Pader-

TO the Polish frontier. Prussian gov
ernmental authorities have been in
structed to induce Paderewski to re-
sumo his journey TO Warsaw.
The Lokal Anzeiger says that inn
mediately after an automobile bear
ing the American flag was attacked
in Posen, a Polish guard officer en-
erged from the castle at Posen and
proclaimed TO the crowd that THE
union with Poland has been accom-
plfshed."
