ton, scrap iron, oil, chemicals, food
to carry on as usual, simply boils
down to case of slamming the
front door against an intruder,
and leaving the back door and all
the windows of the house wide
open.
Nations can not wage war with
out money and without credit. The
nation that extends credits to
warning nations, simply under
writes the destruction of civiliza-
ton of the white man.
Yet there are still honest and
earnest citizens who believe that
we can make all the money in the
world out of somebody else's war
by running a gigantic paWnbrok-
ing business and still never get
hurt. Such belief refuses to face
the facts.
Prior to the World War, there
was in effect a ban on loans to
belligerentS. What happened to
it? Read this excerpt from Secre-
tary of State LanSing's letter to
President Wilson concerning this
restriction on international fin
ancing:
Secretary McAdoo has
discussed with you the necessity
of floating government loans
for the belligerent nations,
which are purchasing great
quantities of goods in this coun-
try, in order to avoid serious
financial situation which will
not only affect them but this
country as we'll. =.
ITO withdraw any consider
able amount (of gold from
Europe) would disastrously
affect the credit of the Euro
pean nations, and the con-
sequence would be a general
state of bankruptcy. If the
European countries can not find
means to pay for the excess of
goods sold to them, they will
have to stop buying"
THERE we have a Secretary of
Il State of the United States
saying that unless America
financed the World War, the war
wouldn't be able to go on.
So Johnnie c. public was asked
to chip in. Oh no, the mercenary
side of it wasn't mentioned! In
stead, his patriotism was courted
and his pocketbook neatly, but
slyly and effectively, tapped.
From then on, he began fnanc-
ing the war, which had its origin
in the division of African spoils
and with which he had not even
the remotest connection.
And when this occurred, French
Diplomat Tardieu wrote:
From then on, whether desired
or not, the victory of the allies
became essential to the United
States"
The American citizen was now
paying the bill. He came to the
rescue of the banking fraternity
which paved the way originally
for Americas entry into the war
with its financing of the purchases
of foreign nations and arranging
credits for them.
He was told that he must put

NORTH CAROLINA ORDERS

Negroes Figuring in Mecklenburg
County Prison Camp Case

Raleigh, May 21.-Woodrow Will
SON Shropshire and Robert Barnes,

GOT THE BEST OF JUNGLE JOE''

The daeth of Miss Helen Cannon,
daughter of the late "Uncle Joe"
Cannon, of Illinois, who for many
years presided as hostess Of his
home in Washington, recalls the peri
cd when there were no women in
Congress, none in the cabinet and
when the wife of no high public Off
cial could be induced to comment for
publication on public affairs. AS the
daughter Of the Speaker of the House
of Representatives, Miss Cannon, an
attractive woman approaching middle
age when her father was elected to
that post, had an important position
to fill. She filled it with notable tact
and dignity not lessened by the pos
session of keen sense of humor, for
which her famous father was some
times the target.
Mr.. Cannon's reputation for strong
language was honestly won. 1t was a
gift never allowed to grow stale thru
want of practice. On one occasion, as
the time came for him to leave home
for the Capitol, he could not find his
hat. He expressed his inability with
audible vigor. Continuing his search
and his soliloquy into the room in
which, unknown to him, his daughter
was seated, she observed in quiet even
tones: Father, if you should go out
into the id old hall and look on the
id old hatrack, think that you
would find you id old hat"
Swallowing any further adjectives
that he may have had ready, Mr.
Cannon exclaimed, "You are a dear,
sweet GIRL" and fled the scene. Posi-
bly, he shared Mark Twain's feeling
in a similar predicament when Mrs.
Clemens repeated for his benefit
some of his less philosophical obser-
vations. Mark said afterward he had
never "heard such grand language SO
inadequately expressed"

ENDS LONG JOURNEY IN
HIS OLD MODEL T FORD

Detroit.-Driving 1917 Model I
Ford, in continuous service for Is
years, and with what remained of 72C
pounds of groceries, provisions and
gasoline on board, Elmer Sheriff. and
his family rolled into Detroit last
week to end a four-day pleasure
jaunt" from Santa Ana, California.
Arriving in Detroit, the Sherrills
took delivery of a new Ford VS.
Fordor touring sedan, made an in
spection trop trough the Ford Rouge
plant, saw the sights and started
back to California, the old Model 7
in tow of the new tuoring sedan.
Santa Ana chemist, Sheriff. piled
up some remarkable records on his
2,640-mile trip across the continent.
With his wife and son, Lynn, he
started the journey in the Model T,
carrying a total passenger, grocery
and equipment load of 1,130 pounds.
They camped en- route, cooking meals
on a homemade pan placed on the
muffler of the car. They averaged
3O.7 miles an hour driving time and
25.1 miles per gallon of gasoline. The
total cost of the trip, en- route, was
$18. The trip was made in 81 hours.
On arrival, the speedometer of the
1S-year-eld car registered 11O,26S.
After taking delivery of the new
touring sedan, the Sherrills packed
all their luggage, which filled the
back section of the Model T, into the
roomy trunk of the touring sedan,
hooked tow-bar onto the old car
and hoped off for California.
/ "The old car has been too faithful
a companion to part with her." said
Sheriff.. "We're going to retire her
into lighter service. From now on,
Lynn will drive the Model T to and
from school. We're going to make a
lot of trips this year, and we had to
have this new touring sedan"
