In view of the grievous situation OF
affairs in Europe and of Americas
hesitancy to enter the league OF ma
tions, the following excerpt from the
Greensboro News is pertinent:
|, 1.-THE President said years ago there
never could be another great war that
would not sooner or later involve the
United States. Certain Americans did
not believe him, and these skeptics
have defeated the plan he made,
which was the only plan then or since
offered, to prevent the recurrence OF
such a war. Now the situation threat
ems an early and terrible justification
of the Presidents warning. If it de,
velops we should dislike to be in the
shoes of the men who defeated the
league"

MILITARY ExoNERATED.

The special commission appointed
by the Governor to investigate the
action of the Durham military COM
pany in firing on supposed mob at
the Graham jail several weeks ago,
made it's report last week in which
they completely exonorated the Dur
ham company from all blame. The
report states that the soldiers were
justified in firing, and that the Jail
had been fired upon by persons from
the outside seeking to attack the Jail.
The Graham citizens had Indignantly
declared the shooting to have been
uncalled for and that the Jail was not
being attacked. But the report of
this special committee upon investi-
cation finds otherwise.

JOB WORK A SPECIALITY

Most of the Post.Dispatch readers
probably take daily yapers You are
keeping in touch with the foreign
news-the events of the old world.
You have noticed that the fires of
hatred are burning more fiercely day
by day-that the clash of war in var
ious parts Of Europe is becoming more
deafening as time goes on.
Only the slender tie that binds Eng
land and France prevents another
world conflict, and that tie is often
near the breaking point
The average American citizen rests
securely in the belief that this coun-
try will never enter another European
conflict. But don't be too sure. The
world has had an object lesson in
what America can do-if she will. In
the next general war the might of
American gold, products and arms
will be sedulously courted by both
sides. If diplomacy fails to draw us
in, then other tactics will be pursued
to force our hand. 1t will be a mar.
vel if we escape. In truth our country
is sitting on the orator of another vol
cano, and the lid is uncomfortably
warm. Some day it will blow off
And then {
The safety of the world really
seems to hinge upon England, France
and America. With these three stand
ing solidly together, a bulwark is
built against which the tides of Boil
shevikism and Germanism would rage
in vain. The League of Nations is
vitality necessary to effectually stem
that tide. Our Richmond county
mothers do not want their boys to be
sent across the water again; our boys
do not want to go. The best in
surance to keep them from going IS
the adoption of the League of Nations.
Insurance pays. The League insures.

TITS mighty easy for Typographical
errors to be made in a newspaper Of
fice-and other errors, too. The
Dispatch still bushes over
spelling the Episcopal Guild" two
years ago, as gill" But in the
haste of getting to press, the wonder
is that far more errors do not occur.
Speaking of errors reminds us of
pened in a newspaper office across in
South Carolina. The editor was
writing an article praising certain
Colonel, but it happened he and the
Colonel were not on good terms. The
article came out, but in spelling
SCARED" in the phrase, "battle-scar-
red veteran" one "r' was omitted.
The Colonel was wrathy, but the edi-
tor promised to correct his error in
the next issue. The next week the
following correction appeared: 1.-THE
editor of this paper regrets very much
an error in spelling in cur last issue.
In describing our most worthy Col
onel, instead of 'battle-scared vet
erah,' it should have read bottle
SCARED veteran"
That day the editor ceased to exist.
His wife was a widow.
