Delaware First in
Carbon Campaign

The Delaware Red Gross on Sat
urday received the following tele-
gram from the National Red Gross:
"Out of $50 collection centres in
the United States yours is the first
to ask for a car. Hearty congrat-
ulationS. If you wish extra bags
wire Immediately and we will send
them"
This means that Delaware was
the first State to accumulate car
load OF peach pits, due to the en-
ergy OF the children, public gener'
ally and canneries IN the state.
These pits, together with aut
shells are used in making carbon
for gas masks.

Scouts Distribute
Printed Matter

The distribution of public docu-
ments made by the Boy Scouts Of
America acting as dispatch bear
ers of the Government" for the
Committee on Public Information
is believed to be the largest distri-
button of printed matter the world
has ever seen.
The scouts put out fifteen mil
lion pamphlets, and the records up
to August, 1918, show ;hat two mil
lion requests for additional litera-
ture had been received by the Com
mittee on Public Information as a
result of the work the scouts did
and that requests were still being
received at the rate of more than
one thousand a day.

People, in ll-walSs of life are daily making won- derful statements telling of their resto- ration to health through this great dis covery, after every other treatment had failed
 In this connection, MT. Thomas Prath- CT, 172 >INrkwood avenue, Atlanta, Ga, section foreman of the w. & A. Rail- road, says:
 .I have gained twenty-five pounds since taking yI-TO-NA and I feel just fine. For ten years I suffered with kid- ney and bladder troube,- and was going downhill rapidly. I got in such a fix I had to use walking cane to get about on. I had awful pains in my back and lost strength and weight until I was SC weak I had to go to bed, and I stayed there for weeks. I was also bothered a great deal with indigestion.
 "A friend of mine who had taken vI- TO-NA recommended it to me, and l never saw such an improvement. in any, body as it has made in me- I have a good appetite now, eat anything I want and it agrees with me. My sleep is sound and restful, and I wake up every morning feeling fine. All my troubles have left me and, as have said before, I've gained twenty five pounds Six men who work for me have also been taking NI-TO-NA, after seeing the good it did me, and it has benefited every one of them.

Germans Fear mUasion| By Yanks Near Metz
With Division After Division, Countless Machine Guns and Heavy Artillery, Enemy Making
 Most Desperate Effort of War

With the American Army Northwest of verdun, October 2s. p. m.-(By the Associated Press.)-Although the German army is making the most desperate eff fort in the wars history to prevent the Americans from breaking through in the vital Verdun sector, it is equally or more fearful that there may be a breach endangerfng Metz, with the consequent necessity of abandoning all the territory still occupied and an invasion of the German empire itself.
 With division after division of troops, machine guns and artillery, the enemy is bitterly defending himself west of yerdun. But it is with an elaborately strong trench system, with rows of barbed wire and even electrified wire, that he has been feverishly working during the past few weeks to make Metz invulner- able. The system has been laid out, roughly, between Pont-A- Mouson. Avri- court and the river Seille. with a parallel front from Chemin to Vic.

TEACHERS MEETING

 HERE ON NOV. Z
Jefferson County Superin- tendent Needs About Ten Teachers to Fill Vacan-
 cies in County Schools

The meeting of the Jefferson County
 Teachers association, which was to
 have convened here next Saturday, has been postponed until the first Saturday lin December on account of the influ- enaa epidemic.
 Mrs. F. B. Erwin, member of the executive committee. states that Miss Simpson, head of the department of English at the State Normal school at Florence Is expected to be present and divulge some important facts about the teaching of English in the public schools. Though complete programme has not yet been arranged, Mrs, Erwin | Is confident that at least one more t-of-town speaker will be present Superintendent N. R. Baker says that he is badly in need of about 10 teach CTS for vacahcies in the county schools. He could use principals for one-room schools or assistants for two or more- room schools. Dr. Baker states that while under the present school statutes of Alabama no teacher can have his lcertificate reinstated or take an exam ination for a temporary certificate, the school laws of Georgia provide for interexaminations; that ft, special ex- aminations given at intervals between lthe regular periods for examinations, which. in Alabama, are the third Mon- l days beginning then and continuing l through the following Wednesdays, in April. July and December, which was 1 formerly the law in Alabama.
 Anyone may go to Atlanta. however. and take the Georgia examination at Iany time. come back to Alabama and l State Superintendent spright Dowell wilt l indorse his certificate and permit him l to teach in the state. Dr. Baker thfnks that when the legislature eonvenes again the present Alabama school laws | will be amended so as to cope with tany emergency, such as the one now tconfrontfng the school authorities on account of the war.

EXCITING SCENES
 N RE|CHSTAG AS KAISER IS SCORED
War With Hohenzollern or Peace Without .Hohenzol- Tern Is Question, Says
 Socialist Member

Amsterdam, october 2s.--CBy the Associated Press.)-Exciting scenes occurred in the German Reichstag on Friday and Saturday, outspolxens speeches were indulged in. <.
 In the course of the discussion tha Polish deputy, Korfantz. hotly atr tackled the Polish policy of the gov. ernn1ent. He declared that in CheRr- nitz alone the war raw material de- partments sold S,oo0,ooo marks worth of carpets and other goods taken from Poland. Seven hundred thousand poor Polish people were carried off to Ger many, where they led the life of slaves, while Brigadier General Pill sudski (of the Polish legion), whom the Polish nation regarded highly, was still held in the fortress of Magde- burg, despite all appeals. The deputy concluded:
 We are not blaming the German people for these prosecutions, but Ger man mi1itarism. We extend the hand of reconciliation to the German peop.e for the common welfare"
 Independent Socialist Dr. Cohn, who declared that the war was lost after the first battle of the Marne. said that General Ludendorff at the end of Sep temter proposed the formation or government empowered to negotiate an armistice with President Wilson,. as it was impossible to guarantee the maintenance of the war much longer.
 "The question cannot longer be I T,x Shf,t n a r Hohenzol1ern or peace without the Hohenzollern. Peace will follow on world imperialism and world militar- ism, and we will overcome them.> No extend our hand to our friends beyond the frontier in this struggle The speech was received with such conmo7 ton, cries of shame and applause that the president threatened to nave the chamber cleared.
 Another socialist, Otto Ruhle, was called to order for declaring that the Kaiser must abdicate. He reiterated: "A call to order won't save him from the criminal court"
 The house debated the bill ameRd- ing the constitution. which was passed Saturday. Several speakers displayed an expeeta ton to slow that the terms were not dictated by the enemy, but had been advocated since the spring of 1917.
 The conservative. Herr Non Graele, complained that the proposed reforms would destroy all the crown influence and declared that the conservative party would refuse to cooperate in such break with the past
 State Secretary Groeber and War Minister Major General Schench both declared that there was nothing in the reforms which could endager the Irn structure of the army or the per ? bnal relationship between the Prus- Ran King and the officers.
