Mortons To
Leave Army
Corps Here

Envoy Luther Morton and Mrs.
Morton. who have been in charge Of
the local corps Of The Salvation
Army for several years, will be trans
rcrrcd to other fields of work Oh or
about June |, it was stated today by
Sam Afford, chairman of the Army's
advisory board.
Mr.. Afford said he had been adj
vised, as had the corps officials, Of
the change. There is some talk that
the Mortons will be sent to Roanoke
Rapids to open i new Army corps
there after leaving here. There has
also been some information that they
may be assigned to duty in the di-
viSional headquarters in Charlotte.
No information is available as yet
as TO who will be sent here in charge
Of the local corps. But the new Of
Ulcers will probably come to Hen
dcrson before the Mortons leave, SO
as to acquaint themselves with the
field as near as possible.
A campaign has just been con-
Guided here for funds to tide the
Army over for the remainder of 1910,
and cash and pledges amounted TO
slightly more than $1,000. About half
Of this was in cash and the other in
pledges to be paid over period Of
several months before the end Of the
year
If the community chest is revived
during the fall, it is expected that
the Army's budget will be included,

necessary, as was the case this year
because the chest did not function.

Registration
For Primary

Election officials and party leaders
Of the county are making an effort
to acauaint the general public with
the tact that every individual who
votes in the primaries Of May % must
register. anew during the period the
registration books will be open.
The books open Saturday. April 27
and will remain open for two weeks
through Saturday, May il. Regis
trarS have all been named for this
county already, and in few days
will bc equipped with new registra-
lion books One book will be for
Democrats one for Republicans, and
= third one for registration for the
ecn.ral election in November.
The Vance County Board of Elec-
tons recently ordered Il new regis
tration for the county, under the re-
viScd election law enacted by the
1889 General Assembly. The old
books will be discarded. 81 those
whose names do not appear on the
new books will be barred from per
ticipating in the primary election Of
May %.
L is feared that the absence of con-
tests for some of the major offices OF
the county will result in a slacken-
ing of interest which may to some
extent reduce the registration and
general qualification Of citizens to
vote in the primary. To that end,
every effort is 10 be CXcrtcd to get

NOW WE MUST PAY
THE Asheyille Times)

President Butler Of Columbia UNIVERSITY
places the blame for the Nazi revolution ano
the world disaster it has created on sman'
minded men in Washington and their shocking
disregard of moral and political obligation.
In other words, having helped to WIN the
first World war, America would not aid IN WIN,
ming the right stort of peace-indeed reused
to accept any responsibility for any sort OF
European peace. And Senator Lodge, borah,
Johnson, and Democratic James Reed and
some others were the prime agents IN that
great and fatal rejection of moral and polltl-
cal responsibility for the kind OF world the
America of 1910 might have to live in, per-
haps wage war in.
A skeptic may interpose that such condem-
nation takes a long jump to the assumption
that United States membership in the League
of Nations would lave guaranteed a Juster
ive-and-let-live order Of affairs in Europe.
DR.. Butler and those who believe with him
that no nation liveth unto itself do not have
to defend that speculative assertion concern
ing American influence as an adherent Of the
League. DR.. Butler need go no farther than to
declare that America accepted responsibility
in large degree for the worlds peace and vel
fare, but put her hand to the pillow and then
turned back after Versailles, attempting to alb
solve herself of all the high obligations al

School Opens

Some increase in enrolment was noted at
New Hanover county schools on opening day,
over the 1889 opening, with attendance in the
elementary grades falling behind and the gains
made in the first grade and in high school.
The lag in the one group of grades is not funy
accounted for, and, in fact, may not long exist.
Many youngsters in rural school districtA may
not have been able to attend on opening day
because of home duties-schedules are not
well maintained sometimes in the back coun-
try-and it may take some tim to get the
Youngsters off to school,. Before many weeks
pass attendance in these grades may top last
years.
The encouraging fact is that general school
attendance is up. The cruel situation OF the
world at large and Americas military prob
lens have had no p%erceptible effect on the
system in this county or elsewhere
in the country. This year there will be 3d.
600 pupils in class rooms. According to
federal educational authorities, 81, ZOO, 600 chill
dren will attend elementary schools; 100000
nigh school,; 1,425, 600, 600 colleges and univer-
sites, and 1850, 600 children and adults will go
to night school or take part-time training. In
addition, $4,000 persons will take special trade
$4,000 training in nursing, and 75.0 boo
attend business colleges.
As far as America is concerned wal and
threats of war will not interrupt school courses
this year. In fact, the warlike conditions will
be an aid to education in the United States in
that they will stimulate more intensive study

for and the duties it imposes-and the finer

The Vice Crusade

The campaign on vice in Wilmington, which
Judge W. H. S. Burgwyn launched by instruct
ing the grand jury to investigate conditions
and recommend remedial measures, even if
it requires the services of state aides to clean
up the bad situation, is an important move
ment, not only because moral filth is always a
menace to any community but because VIII
mington has too vital a duty to perform in the
national emergency to allow a canker to re-
main in its midst.
If this nation is to carry its defense program
to its proper limits, there must be moral and
spiritual nc less than military rearmament.

The Road Situation

New Hanover county's secondary roads have
long been neglected and are now in such bad
shape that rural residents bitterly complain of
the disregard of the state highway commits
sion for protests and appeals for improvement
they have made at Raleigh.
Thu situation was brought to the attention of
the county board at its Mondays meeting in
the hope that the echo of the proceedings then
may penetrate to the offices of the state high.

is possible that it may be able to bring suffi-
cient pressure to bear at the capital to get
something done to improve the county's mi.
nor, but still important, roads.
The people of Summer Hill, Buena Vista,
Seagate and Masonboro are justified in de-
handing that the state highway commission
give them better roads. They deserve the
support of the people of Wilmington, no less
than Of the county board, inasmuch as VIII
mingtonians use the roads quite as much as
residents of these districts.
Perhaps a united appeal, backed by. the
power of the county board and the support of
legislators, could turn the trick and bring
read crews for repair and maintenance work
on these roads. There is no assurance, of
course, that it would. But there is a chance
that it might. It will be worth trying at least.
If it fails, an appeal to the governor, setting
forth the reason for complaint and indicating
the definite need for improvement, will be in
order.

Poor Carol

Former King Carols search for an asylum
is not particularly interesting in itself, but one
sidelight cannot fail to interest the rank and
file Of Americans. -
Facing almost certain refusal from France,
the Grant Rumanian is said to have concluded
that he could not live in the style to which
he is accustomed in the United States on the
income he has been granted by the nation he
was so successful in bringing to the verge of
ruin and complete dismemberment. That
amount, though not officially revealed, is I'm.
derstood to be $50, 600 a year.
Many Americans are managing to get along
very comfortably on smaller incomes. We
don't know the style he is accustomed to, OF
course, but we suspect that $780, 600 a year
could be made to maintain quite an outfit,
even for such a spendthrift as Carol.
Thousands of good American families are
doing well on $50 a month. For many 500
yearly incomes maintain many a home in
humble comfort and two thousand is wealth,
since the depression. Heads Of families blessed
with larger incomes are able to set aside a
little surplus for investment.
But maybe, Carol has no idea of thrift. Ger
tainly he showed no sense Of this fine Ameri-
can attribute, either in Paris during his for
nler abdication, or as ruler Of his nation
whose resources he did so much to dissipate.
Besides, paramours are expensive luxuries.
!; is just as well that Carol turns from the
United States as a possibly asylum. He would
not find a cordial welcome here,

cation for right living, as well as mobilization
Of industry, of troops, airplanes, tanks, NUM-
tons and guns. The two efforts must move
side by side, if we are to place ourselves in a
position to ward off national disaster.
Moral softness, spiritual Indifference, are
blamed as much as military weakness for the
collapse of France. Unless we are willing to
share Frances fate, we must avoid Frances
blunders.
Judge Burgwyn put his finger one one OF
those plumbers when he pointed out to the
grand jury that immortality is not under con-
troll in Wilmington. In correcting this, Will
mington will prove its right to serve the ma
ton it did so much to create in its present
great emergency.

Discussing his tenure of office, the
governor remarked that he had
grown slightly greyer and had added
10 to 20 pounds to his weight since
he toe office in January, 1897.
Il normally weighed about 1865
pounds before I took, office" he
said, but my weight is now between
ITS and 100. I was slim-six feet

pounds is right much to add. How
