Colonel Kennon used his good offices abundantly in of Camp Greene, to undo much that has been done in the past to prejudice the war department against it. He said that this was as good a camp as any in the country he had visited and that the government could easily bring it into a condition beyond reproach. All he could do to brighten the prospects for the camp was done gratuitously and earnestly and Charlotte people had reason to believe that through his influence, the institution would instantly spring1 again into more widespread favor.

NATIONAL DEBTS. The London Economist for February places the total gross debt of Great Britain at $27,636,000,000. The French Minister of in presenting the budget for 1918 estima-J ted the public debt of France on December 31, 1918, at $22,227,000,000. The public, debt of Italy at the end of 1917 is estimated at about The debts of the Central Powers are estimated as follows: Germany, Austria, and Hungary, $5,704,000,000. Our own public debt is now around $8,000,000,000, but more than, half of this amount has been loaned to our Allies and will be repaid us.

It is es timated that of the total net expendi- tures of the United States for the fis cal year of J518, exclusive of our advances to our Allies more than one-half will be defrayed by taxation. OLD TIME SOLDIER DIES AS HE WISHES Bv WEBB MILLER. T'nitprJ Press Staff Correspondent.) Paris, Aug. 19. (By mail.) There will be many moist eyes among "Old Army" men who are now wearing gold and silver leaves and silver stars on their shoulders when they hear that "01" Sergt.

Jim Payne of the th Infantry fell, riddled by machine gun bullets, on the first day of the Sois-sons fighting. Sergt. Payne was one of the oldest and most experienced of the oldtima non-coms, and had seen service in every land where American soldiers set foot for the past twentyyears. He "soldiered" and fought Moros in the wilds of Mindanao under Capt. J.

J. Pershing, and helped Pershing chase the Villistas into the interior of Mexico. In many a headquarters, dugouts and mess shack they will say "Poor ol Jim, God bless him," when they hear that Payne is gone. Probably no other man in the army had as many close friends among the officers. For the last twenty years Payne Jias been training second lieutenants and seeing them gain their first lieutenancy, then captains' bars, majors gold leaves and so on toward the major generals' double stars.

A good many of the youths that Payne "mothered" are now generals in the new army. But no matter how high they went in rank, they always retained their love for the leathery-faced grizzled old sergeant. Year after year Sergt. Jim has been taking "shave-tails" fresh from West Point, and nervous as cats about their first commands, under his arm and teaching them the fine points of handling men, as only an old first sergeant can do. But Payne remained always a first sergeant.

In the old days there wasn't much chance for a man to rise out of the ranks to a commission especially if he "hadn't had much school-in'," as Payne would tell his friends who urged him to try for a commission. At the outbreak of war Payne was offered a captaincy, but refused it. "I want to win my shoulder bars on the field with my boys," he told them. Last winter he served as first sergeant, but this spring asked to be reduced to a sergeant, so he could go out and lead a platoon. Only a few weeks before he was killed the recommendation went through for his promotion to a lieutenancy.

Within a few days Sergt. Jim would have been wearing the coveted silver bar, won as he wanted to win it. But he died as he wanted to die "with the boys." And there will be many misty eyes along the lines when they hear about "Ol' Jim." or- of. jr. jtm JV 't 3v 'iv rdC iC "ii "v4V'" "ii" "ii i O' DON'T FORGET TO WRITE.

I i ALLIES NOT TO STOP. Premier Clemenceau's paper gives us indication that it is not the purpose jof the war council as reflected Uhrough the strategy of General Foch i to stop the drive that has been in progress for the past six weeks, dur-ling which the enemy has lost practically all the territory wrested from I jthe Allies through his successive as-' fcsaults earlier in the year. This is significant, especially now that the German resistance is becom ing more firm and the progress of the Allies notably slowed down.

We are at liberty to judge that we are soon to see the game of war in a new as- pect and the respective purposes of the two commands revealed. The strategists are agreed thrft it will be the Americans who make the I next move. General Pershing has a force of 1,350,000 men who will not be allowed to remain idle in the bat-v tie zone if there is an opportunity to "bring on a crushing blow against the Germans at some other pivotal sec- 'tor. If the Americans would institute a drive near Rheims while the Ger-t mans have been forced to bring fresh troops either from that point or some 1 sther point to reinforce the defenses -j against British and French assaults, it is not impossible that an American i with the full force of General Pershing in action might be wonder-. fully decisive.

Over against this prob-I ability, however, we must not lose i sight of the fact that General Foch ''is not going to gamble with these -4 Americans. They are there to give the Qermans the last lick and General 'Foch will not unloose them until the moment is molten for these fresh i from America to get a de-r- cision. i The element of man-power Is no longer troublesome to General Foch. The critics are about agreed that the French and British alone have as men on the Western front as the enemy, and that each has between 3,000,000 and 4,000,000 men. The Americans simply add the full weight their numbers, whatever they are or will be, to give the French and British a preponderance of men sufficient to defeat Germany.

With element disposed of, General (Foch can play safely. He would bo a poor tactician, indeed, to attempt major move with these fresh troops from this country unless the evidence jpoints clearly to a brilliant success. he has any doubt in his minds as to jthe efficacy of such an attempt, the of wisdom would be, of course, jfor him to wait until a more oppor-5 tune time, wait until the Americans ij 'arrive at full capacity before endeav-Koring to win the war with them. i SPECIAL CASES OF REGISTRA-! TION. For those who cannot register in on September 12, the rules are follows: The sick will be register ed by persons deputized to make their registration.

Felons will be register ed by penitentiary wardens. Misde-j meanants and persons awaiting trial "will be treated as absentees. exceDt that their cards 'must be obtained and filled in by the jailers.

Absentees must see that their sards reach the local boards by Registration Day; it is up to the absentees.

If. in doubt 'about place or method 5f registration, refer to the "nearest peal board. Except for men already registered or already in military or layal service, all men who' have the age of 18 by September 12 and have notreached the age of 46 nust register on that day.

Men who were i on or before September 12, 1872, vill have reached the age of 46 and vill not be required to register.

Miss Jones, who is not yet thirty, started in at the bank eight years ago as a stenographer. Officials of the bank say she is an expert in foreign exchange, one of the most intricate branches of banking, and this branch of the Bank of Cuba's business, amounting to $400,000,000 a year, will be under her control.

As Roosevelt said in .1898, other nations will look at our votes this year from only one viewpoint. They will draw no fine distinctions.

To Europe, the election of a Republican Congress this year would mean a divided nation, a refusal to endorse and stand hv the rjrincinles President Wilson has proclaimed as the principles of our nation and the aims and purposes of our country. The United States, by virtue of its manifested greatness and power, occupies the commanding place in the world today. Never before was it so rcspected and admired for its power and might, and never before has it so commanded the confidence and hope of the world by reason of its stand for freedom and justice and right. President Wilson has a commanding, political and moral influence in the world outside of those nations with which we are at war, and even among their peoples there are millions who look to him for deliverance from war and famine and from oppression and misgovernment. It can havej no other effect than to hurt and lessen President Wilson's prestige and influence with the foreign world for his party to meet defeat this fall.

It cannot but weaken his power for good, for victory and peace, should his party be repudiated at the polls by the American people. How greatly can Democratic defeat be used by his enemies, who are the enemies of the United States, and the enemies of our soldiers in France, and the enemies of peace and freedom everywhere, to discount his ability to accomplish that which all free people wish accomplished. How powerfully can his party's defeat be used to disparage and belittle his own standing and influence in his own nation and others that the people of the United States -do not approve of, do not stand for, and will not carry out those reat principles which Presi dent Wilson has made the cardinal principles, for which we and our Allies fight, which he hasmade the passion and hope of Belgium and France and Servia and the war-worn peoples of all Europe. It matters not how well at home may understand that the nation stands by the President regardless of the result of the Congressional election. Our politics this year is not a national affair, but international, world-wide, of tremendous interest to all nations and of supreme and vital importance to our Allies, to Russia, and the oppressed nationalities of Austria, to the people of all Europe.

In the true analysis there is but one way fully to support our country and our soldiers at this time, and that is by full and unreserved support of the President. The election of a Republican Congress would be construed by a large portion of the world, and particularly by those over whom the President's influence is most important, as a repudiation of him and of the principles he has made, the principles of the free peoples of the world. No qualified support, no halfway support, no divided allegiance will serve. ENGLISH INCOME TAXES. In comparison with the tax levied in England on incomes our own income taxes are moderate, Indeed.

In England the tax on incomes of $1,00 is 4 1-2 per cent, in American nothing. In England the tax on incomes of $1,500 is 6 3-4 per cent; in America nothing for a married man or head of families, and 2 per cent on $500 for an unmarried man. In England the tax on an income of $2,000 is 7 7-8 per cent; in America nothing for a married man or head of a family, and 2 per cent on $1,000 for unmarried men. The English income tax rate also increases more rapidly with the growth of the income than" ours, a $3,000 income being taxed 14 per cent, $5,000 16 per cent, $10,000 20 per cent, and $15,000 25 per cent, while our corresponding taxes for married men are respectively two-thirds of 1 per cent, 1 1-2 per cent, 3 1-2 per cent and 5 per cent, and only slightly more for the unmarried, due to the smaller amount exempted, the rate being the same.
