scattered over German lines and cities
within flying radius This was an
enterprise of the New York World.
One of the most remarkable, and
little known, exploits of the war was
the flight made by Sub-Lieut. Michael
who assembled in a Newport mono
plane at Nancy at $50 p M, flew low
over Germany at low altitude in or
der to drop proclamations on Berlin.
He came close to crossing the whole
of the enemy country safely. His
plane was forced down at $50 a. m.
at Chelm, Russian Poland, then in
German hands, when he was less than
IS miles from Russian lines, and he
was made a prisoner He had cover
ed 1900 kilometers, an extraordinary
distance for a nonstop flight in those
days, and a phenomenal achievement
under the circumstances.
The proclamation which Marchal
dropped on Berlin began, 1--WE could
lombard the open town of Berlin and
thus kill women and innocent children
but we are content to throw away the
following proclamations," and contain
ed remarks on the causes of the war
and the principal reasons why the
Allies are bound to win"

section. If the Durham county cleo
ton had been a victory for the "drys,'
or if it had even been close, the
chances are that the Wake county
commissioners would not consider
calling an election any time soon.
But since the Durham election was
a victory of more than two to one
for the liquor control forces, with
only one precinct out of 30 in the
county going against control, most
observers here believe that sentiment
is strongly in favor Of "controP' IN
Wake county as WE'LL A good many
who so far have maintained that the
Wake county would vote against con-
troll, even though Raleigh would UNI
doubte eddy vote for control, are now
of the belief that the entire county
will go for control.
There is no doubt that Raleigh
would give a heavy majority for con-
troll and liquor stores, since most OBJ
servers agree that the capital. city
can not possibly get much wetter
than it is at present, has been for
years. There are at least four we'll

the city, any time of day or night,
but at prices to 100 per cent higher
than those charged in county liquor
stores in. neigihboring counties, &C
cording to those in a position to
know.
It is expected, of course, that the
United Dry Forces, under the leader
ship Of Gale K. Burgess, the ministers
and the bone-dry element among the
church people, will make a determin-
ed and bitter campaign against legal
LIQUOR stores. On the other hand some
of the city's leading ministers and
laymen are not expected to oppose
the liquor stores plan, because they
frankly believe that any sort of con-
troll plan is better than the present
wide-open bootlegging "plan" now in
effect here. So most people agree that
Raleigh will vote heavily for liquor
stores and liquor control.
But out in the country and in the
smaller towns and settlements in
Wake county, the outlook is different.
For rural Wake county and the small
Ter towns are regarded as being over
Whelmingly dry-Or at least, until
very recently. The lack of police pro-
lection in the rural sections and
small towns, the strong sentiment
in the many rural churches against
liquor and the fear that legal liquor
stores will make it easier for the
younger people to get liquor, have

TODAY,S YESTERDAYS

300 Years Ago Today-The English
government forbade Puritans emigrat
ing to New England.
1t was a sad error for King Charles
to make, for it prevented Oliver
Cromwell from abandoning England
for America. Forced to stay home,
Cromwell led the revolution that cost
Charles his head.
Is Years Ago Today-David Glas-
cow Farragut, who was made master
of ship by U. S. Navy order when
he was twelve years old, said, Damn
the torpedoes, go ahead" and the
Navy took New Orleans for Brig.
Gen. Benjamin Buffers army.
1t was the beginning, not the end of
Buffers troubles at New Orleans.
Frank Childs ,eminisced:
"Just as a family quarrel is the most
acrimonious kind of a dispute, so a
civil war is more bitter than one be-
tween foreign nations. Hence the
presence of blue-clad soldiers among
them aroused intense hatred among
the inhabitants. Women especially
felt privileged to make caustic re-
marks and to conduct themselves in
manner intended to be and which
was extremely irritating. General
Butler issued drastic orders which he
enforced with very sever penalties.
This angered the entire South and
even aroused indignation in Europe
Zone of the military orders was
that no boats should be permitted to
depart or to land between sunset and
sunrise. One day a Sunday school
gave a picnic, following the usual
custom of going aboard barge and
being towed to some point on the
Mississippi. The picnic party not re-
turning until after sunset, permission
to land was refused, necessitating the
children's remaining all night on the
barge without shelter or conveniences.
I'm those days it was the fashion for
ladies to carry very small and fine
cambria handkerchiefs. AS the barge
drew up each woman present waved
her handkerchief, in the corner of
which was an embroidered Confeder-
ate flag. An order went forth to seize
the handkerchiefs, but as the soldiers
drew near to enforce it, every woman
tore her handkerchief to pieces and
swallowed them"
