Elizabeth City will no longer provide

sailors and marines quartered at the
Elizabeth City. Hospital will be trans
ferred to Norfolk or other points some
time next week and the hospital will
close unless some other arrangement
is made with the government
DR.. John Saliba, owner of the hospi-
tai property made a contract with the
government last fall to open the hos
pital here to convalescent sailors,
marines and soldiers. The govern
ment needed such a hospital at that
time; the U. S. Naval Hospital at Nor
folk was especially overcrowded. But
recently the Norfolk hospital has been
considerably enlarged and is now ade-
quate to meet the governments needs,
since the cessation of hostilities has re-
duced the number of hospital cases in
the navy.
Fifty to seventy men have been
quartered at the hospital here for the
past five Or six months. They have
contributed much to the life of the
town and spent most of their allow
ances on tobacco, cold drinks and girls.
They were usually cheerful, red-blood-
ed, decent fellows, good to have around
The hospital received 81 a day for
each man boarded there, or about
$1,50O to $4,000 a week.

MILITARISM THE ENEMY
OF THE RISEN CHRIST
Elizabeth City Pastor Takes A Bold
Stand Against Military Training
In Public Schools

''The military spirit is the greatest
in the world today" declared Rev. J..
M. Ormond, pastor of First Methodist
Church, South, in the course of his
sermon Easter Sunday. Mr.. Ormond
was preaching on the subject of the
Risen Lord and stressing the all i'm
of this Resurrected Christ ever in the
human heart. But opposed to the
meeknesS, gentility and brotherliness
of Jesus was the philosophy of force.
I'VE must not think that the fighting
of this great world war has solved all
our problems" continued the pastor;
1T hasn't. Even before the final terms
of peace have been agreed upon we
see militarism taking a fresh hold on
the world and efforts are being made
to fasten military training upon our
public schools. You can not do a boy
a more harmful thing than to dress him
up in military regalia, place a gun up
on his shoulder and implant in his
brain the idea that he has got to de-
fend himself by force against the ag-
gression of some potential enemy. A
people processing to believe in Christ
should rely upon the simple faith of
Christ rather than upon force of arms.
Germany rejected Christ for God of
in the footsteps of Germany"

VICTORY LOAN SPIRIT
AS SEEN in BETSY
If Every Fellow Will Be Real Sport
Like These, Well Go Over
Before Nav 10

Here is an incident that may be typi-
cal of the spirit with which Elizabeth
City greets the Victory Liberty Loan.
A. B. Houtz and G. F. Derrickson of
the subscription committee called upon
a certain down town professional man.
His name is DIR. Walter w. Sawyer;
there's really no need of concealing his
identity.
81 have already pledged a subscrip-
ton of $780," said DR.. Sawyer.
"That isn't enough, said Mr.. Der
rickson.
'swell, what have you subscribed"
replied DR.. Sawyer.
'I haven't entered my subscription
yet"
Here DR.. Sawyer reached out his
hand to Mr.. Derrickson and said, Put
her there for a thousand a piece!
Out went the hand of G. Frank Der
rickson and he almost shouted with
a glad shout, Its a go!"
Mr.. Houtz wrote them both for $1,000
each and got their signatures on the
spot. And the three men looked as
happy as newly deloused soldiers just
back from France.

CONFERENCE TO STUDY
AFTER-WAR PROBLEMS
One Hundred Leading Men To Hold
All Day Conference Here on
May 1st.

An all day conference for the con-
sideration of the hundred and one re-
construction and after-war problems
now confronting this city, this section
and the country generally, will be held
at the Y. NJ. c. A. in Elizabeth City on
Thursday, May 1. One hundred lead
ing men of this city, county and Sec
ton have been invited to the confer
ence and they have been assured that
no campaign is to be started and no
funds to be raised. There are grave
social and economic problems confront
ing every community as result of the
chaos and upheaval occasioned by the
country's participation in the world
war. The best men in every community
have got to face these problems and be
prepared to discuss and deal with them
intel1igently.
Throughout the entire South the
leading citizens of the various COM
munities are being called together in
County conventions for the purpose of
carefully considering some of the aft
er-War Conditions which are now
confronting us. At this time some of
the pressing questions of the day will

given careful study to the conditions
now confronting us. It will be we'll
worth the trip to hear any one of the
speakers who have been secured for
the day. The Convention begins
promptly at $50 (New Time) and will
close at 500. Dinner will be served
free of charge. One hour and half
will be allowed for dinner and relax
alton. At this time men from the coun-
ty will have an. opportunity to attend
to shopping or business in the city.
This Convention is being held at the
request of the United States Govern
ment. Three leading men of the coun-
ty who recently attended special
conference dealing with the program
which will be given are fully convinced
that nothing more important could be
considered at this time. Quite a few
men are devoting their entire time and
energy to presenting the plans sug-
gested.
The committee having in hand the
organization of the conference in Eliz-
abeth City is composed of A. B. Houtz,
Rev. J. w. Bradley, V. r. Gilmore, Rev.
Rufus Bradley and Preston S. Vann.
There will be a number of speakers
here from distant points.
