IS SERF, AS-A GENERAL RULE 11 The Ruthless arid Brutal Sav agenowsNo Honor and Stot)s MifSthing Prompted by1 BeastlyIhstincts and Uncontrolled Passion. (BY W. GATTIS FOSTER ) THE bstnefui and pernicious influ ence of a fanatic and despotic governntent is plainly reflectetl in the nature and character of its sub jects. Satanic cunning4dark intrigue, evil"-" plotting and a brutal instinct a?id desire to kill and destroy seem to be inbred into the warp and woof 6f such a people. As master so. is seH may be; safely accepted as a general rule. Such is Germany and her despotic and barbarous government when the murdering of women, and .chil dren are made examples of national butchery, when school children are given a day off to celebrate in holi day glee the triumph of a deadly torpedo which sent ft, the bottom a peaceful ship carrying witk it hun dreds of helpless passengers, among whom were many women and chil dren to a watery grave. Can it bjfe wondered at when the German mili tary forces display such beastly and heartless cruelties and an eager readiness to kill the weak and help less, to lay waste and destroy, to tor ture and inflict suffering even whenf the exigencies of - war and personal safety do not demand' it ? The civilized vand conscientious warrior fighiajqr high ideals and the principles of righteousness in de? fense of the safety ofliome and fam ily, against the attack of the defiLer and assassin, for the-right of liberty and justice against the wrongs; of slavexy aod oppression and seekV to weaken and gain dominance over tne power of , to-ien4SaPs forcTof greater strength or, superior sKiu m "tnuiiary sirawgy auu im; tical manouvering on the field of battle. He fights only such armed resistance and other forces which opDOse him, but the harmless and non combatants find protection and safety with him. He does not war against women and children who can do him no harm. The ruthless and brutal savage unows no honor and stops at nothing, prompted by beast ly instinct and uncontrolled hatred, but gives full rein to his wild and untamed nature. Without mercy and void of the slightest sympathy he, with satanic glee, strikes down and gloats over the agonizing suffer ing of his helpless victims, whether soldier or civilian, whether man or woman. He makes no distinction be tween the dangerous and the harm less. Without the slightest hesi tancy or feeling of compassion, he (Continued to 6th page) WITH OUR ADVERTISERS Efird announces an after-Easte sale on coats, coat suus, dresses, etc. Beavans names special prices on suits, waists and skirts.

THE WAR SITUATION There has been little change in the war situation since last issue as regards deci?ive battles. The French and English seem to be able to hold in check the Huns and also to re take portions of land they vacated last week for strategetic reasons. Ovsr 100,000 Americans are now on the battle line and more will follow out of, the 700,000 now in France. The feeling prevails that another great battle will soon be raging on the Sornme. Either side may take the offensive. A neutral just from Vienna says the Teutons realize th. failure of their offensive and the colossal losses and shout for peace. The Austrians condemn the war "for one man's lambituns -and demand peace. The allies are supremely confi dent of the outcome.

V (By VT. H. Dugdale.) v LL sorts of queer ideas are com ing to the surface v Many new adjustments will be made and there will be many upheavals of prear ranged plans, both in national and indiyidval life. All this is brought about by existing conditions, and it takes a whole lot of brains and expe " rince to cope suc cessfully with the whole complication and no one or t wo men are in a posi tion to criticise the "modus operandi" of any one in au thority or any one whose knowledge of a given Jask is backed -by experi ence, arid don't forget as your incli nations lead you to criticise; perhaps you may lack the knowledge to hapt die the ease fn hand, for a man 's opinions, whether good or other wise, isdrawn from his whole stock bTknowledge and -experience Jand it is a vain effort ; to try ; to change' them ' When this ; method is' em .loyed the spirit of egotism steps in and you are up against it good and hard. Don't imagine a man has n coin in bis purse because he is not dressed like a swell. Don't judge from appearances ; many a tattered old nook tells a good story and a lot o: bright ideas emirate from a rough exterior. Don't 'ger egotistic and think because ybu have an outline oaoy given subject or operations contemplated or .under way, that you are in a position to criticise an other's action in his efforts to get re sults. No man outside of the man on the job, who is familiar with de- tails, can give any clear or possible opinions on the issue of any event. uoni try u. iou are noi me wnoie thing; remember there are others, ana tne wise, tninKing ieuow doesn t do it. He knows better. How can you tell the motive that prompts Woodrow Wilson or his cabinet to take certain actions along any given lines? What kind of a government would we have if the working plans of our nation were public property ? What do we as a whole know about it simply nothing, only as they transpire ana are brought into ef fect by the united effort of brains, knowledge and experience. And who is in a position to criticise any ac tion or move taken to further our best interests, but men will persist in doing it. Don't criticise any man for anything he may find it his duty to do. If he is wrong your criticism does not set him right it only be fuddles him and he is that much worse off. What . business is it of yours how the other fellow does the job; it is up to. him to make good, not you. Let him alone, he no doubt knows more about it than you do He may be mistaken but hd will find it out; this is experience. He will try again and perhaps succeed; this is kn wledge. But your criticism can spoil it all; don't do it. Don't try to tell the switchman how to in struct the engineer, he learned all this before he was put on the job. Don't criticise him; he knows more about switching cars in a minute than perhaps you will ever know, then why criticise? A lot of rows and hard feelings might be saved if one will avoid criticism. It never did any one any good We. all want to tread safely in the direction of progress, and for goodness sake don't criticise and spoil it all. If you can sing or whis tle do it when you are inclined to criticism. It is not possible to make every one a songbird but,you can talk encouragement and gladsome ness will scatter sunshine wherccrit icism brings gloom, but people as 8 rule drift into one extreme or the other and you will notice that op timism and pessimism are largely a habit aud may be controlled. DOn't criticise and you are on the road to optimism; then you win. There are some people who seem to be born with a scrowj on their face and it is a tough job to try to smooth it out. These fellows will criticise no matter what you may do to prevent it Give them a wide berth for they are natural born pes simists and no company for man or beast. But the fellow that will prac tice what he preaches is a good man A f5 !l V J $1.50 a Year Patience Has Ceased to Te a Virtue The question is how much longer' is High Point going to put up with this slacker, seditious stuff, slung around here by three ofrfour con temptible skunks who call ; this ci y their abiding place. There's a way to stop such stuff. Ohioans found a way to their liking and igh Point ers are not jblind even if they are long suffering. The limit is going to be reached as sure as twice two is four and the after results will be worth talking about. , . Another Patriotic Ballyvat : the Auditorium Sunday Hon. j. W.

The increase altogether over the present term will amount to some thing like $5,000. The council deems it expedient to keep ih.3 schools up to a high standard, hence the raise in salary to employ and retain com petent teachers, a very wise 8nd commendable decision.

A man's imagination doesn't get him anything and criticism is pure ly imagination it is as well the big product of igcorance. Listening to the grumbling and faultfinding of a fellow who critisizesis not courtesy, that's forbearance. The man who critisizes is never courteous he may be in business and use tact to pro duce results, but when such, a fej-'. low treats a customer like a rich ' uncle to get his money is not cour tesy, it's foresight, all for his benefit. ; Offering a man a seat when he en- . ters your home or office is not cour tesy, that's duty. Be courteous at all times and in all places, it is the trademark of the gentleman. Courtesy is doing what nothiDg el&e will do but human kindness. It springs from the heart.
