Entered as second-class matter Sep tember 11. 1915, at the postoffice at Hickory, N. C, under the act of March 3, 1879. ASSOCIATED PRESS REPORTS HICKORY, N. C. Wednesday Evening HOLLAND WAKES UP. Quite the most interesting news carried in the Record yesterday of a foreign nature was the dispatch say ing that the Netherlands government had massed all of its troops on the German frontier. Ever since the sinking of the Tubantia, supposedly by a German subamrine, the Dutch have become more restless, and their newspapers have called on the gov ernment not to overlook the destruc tion of the finest passenger steamer flying their flag. Another interesting development of the day was the note of inquiry dis patched from Copenhagen regarding the destruction of a number of Nor wegian steamers in Germany's war of defense. About as many neutral as of enemy ships have been sunk by submarines, and the nations involved resent these outrages. The Berlin foreign office may be prevailed on to desist from the sink ing of merchant ships altogether, for unless there has been an intention to destroy the vessels of friendly na tions, it is evident that operation of submarines is impracticable. ilf the Berlin government is made to abandon submarine warfare, humani tarians will look to little Holland and other small neutrals and will give them the credit for it. We don't re call that they have been sending many notes holding any nation to a strict accountability, either. THE OLD AND THE NEW. Since the election is a thing of the past, and there can be no question of politics in it, the Record wants to congratulate the city of Hickory on the men who have had charge of the affairs of the town for the past year and to express its belief that their successors ;,will measure up to the requirements of their responsible po sitions "' '-:'V Mayor J. -W. Shuford and Counicl imm J. A. Moretz and W. A. Rudispllf as we have 'observed at meetings of council,' have been actuated solely in the interest of the whole community. They do not claim to have been per fect, but they have done their work honestly and well, and the Record wants to assure them of its apprecia tion of their services. !They are good men and true, and may they al ways derive comfort out of serving their town well. In Mayor-elect S. L. Whitener and Counailmen-elect Eubert Lyerly and J. L. Cilley, the city will have three able and patriotic representatives. They will do what they regard is best for Hickory. And they will find able and whole-hearted support in Coun cilmen J. L. Abernethy and A. P. Whitener in everything looking to the welfare and progress of this com munity. iSecretary Daniels gave a good rea son for the animus of Admiral Fiske. That gentleman wanted to command the Atlantic fleet and, failing to get the honor, which was accorded to Ad miral Fletcher, straightway found that the navy and its secretary were in a pretty bad way, according to Mr, uanieis. lhat was a small piece of business. Indications are multiplying that Colonel Roosevelt will be the Repub lican nominee for president, and if he is elected it will be because the coun try is dissatisfied over Mr. Wilson's forbearance with Germany. Rememberine the Trent nffnii- Great Britain should not hesitate long in releasing the Germans, Austrians and Turks taken off that American steamer. Mason and Slidell, Confed crate commissioners, were released by President Lincoln, and France only a lew weeks ago turned over some Ger mans removed by the cruiser Des cartes. i!.very layman who has tried to tthink about the tariff wants to see a commission appointed that will handle the question of tariff duties without regard to politics. We- might not catch Villa for some jime, but every day that the Ameri can troops remain in Mexico ought to fnprove the feelings of the natives r the gringoes. A-ffoi. nil mavhe the submarines find it imposible to keep from sinxing ships of friendly nations. irw ciloa onva that rabbit meet Jl"vw J J - should be eaten by persons suffering with pellagra.

Nearly 900,000 women are now at one kind of work or another in Berlin. They have swarmed into almost every field of activity, no matter how difficult; they are earning more money than they ever had before; many have lost their own bread winners and are for all time dependent upon their own ef forts. The probable unwillingness of the women to go back to their homes after the war is being more and more anticipated by the labor lenders who say the women must go in favor of the men when the time comes. Bv far the largest proportion of the women now employed in Berlin are unskilled workers perhaps 600,- 000 of the 900,000. Of the remain ing 300,000 skilled workers, only a small part are customarily so employ ed. They have done wonderfully well, even in such difficult and stren uous occupations as metal work, but they are not, because of physical handicaps, the equal of their male predecessors. Just how large will be the number of widows, or of women left with crippled husbands, after the war, the labor leaders do not attempt as yet to estimate. These, on the one hand, constitute, however, but part of the problem. Fully as puzzling ist he ques tion of what to do with those women who though they later will have oth er means of support, are expected deliberately to balk at retiring to a non-productive life again. The employer who is able to hire women more cheaply than men, will be loath to change to the old method, and for a time is not going to be able to afford it. A not inconsiderable degree of diplomacy combined with a judicial use of compulsion is going to be necessary, labor leaders feel, before the problem can be adjusted. There is hardly an occupation into which women have not crowded dur ing the past year. The employment of women as streetcar conductors is already an old and familiar condition, and women "motormen" have become more or less familiar sights even in the busy downtown streets of Berlin. The first woman taxicab chauffeure was noted early last summer, and she has multiplied somewhat since then. The construction company building the new tube under the Friedrich Strasse connecting the northern and southern sections of the city has for months employed feminine "huskies," young and old, in shovelling out the sandy underpinning of the street. Two vears ago the streets ot the capital were cleaned by men of mili tary age. Their places were taken by boys, and now women are being in troduced as fast as the youths grow up to military age and enter the army. It is a common sight in any street to see coal being carried into residences from teams by women instead of men. The underground railway com panies of Berlin months ago installed women as ticket choppers, and then introduced them as guards. When it aras found that their dresses frequent iv cot caught in doors, the companies did not so back to male help but or dered the women to don bloomers, and today there are more of them to be seen than men. Even Germans, accustomed to see ing women performing heavy duties. .rasped a little when they heard that the steam railroads, in addition to in stalling women at the stations for minor duties, had put them in as track walkers, switch tenders and track layers. 'Yet the Prussian rail ways today have a large number of women now in their employ. lit is almost universally admitted that the women do not adequately substitute for the men. Women con ductors, for instance, are said to be about 50 per cent as efficient as their male predecessors, and only about half of those who go to work as con ductors are able to stand the strain. There has been a notable increase in certain women s diseases resulting directly from this work. ew oi tne trades are harder or more strenuous than ' metal wnrV which just now. of course, is boom ing because of the need of ammuni tion. Yet ther are thousands of wo men thus employed today, who do not seem to mind the heavy work, and who are earning, relatively, a great deal of money. AUSTRIAN WAR LOANS. (By Associated Press) Vienna, April 5. Up to January 1 the Austrian war loan banks had made 9.000 loans for a total of $46 000,000. Uf these 2,700 were for sums under $200 and for 100 for sums over $20,000. The rate of interest at the begin ning was seven per cent, but this has now been reduced to six Der cent. The loans are mostly made against ueposus oi securities. , TO CURE CHILDREN'S COLDS XT' 1 t - . -m -eep cnua ary, clothe comfortable, avoid exposure and erive Dr. Bell's Pine Tar Honey.
