Unknown before the war General Erich l.udendorff sprang int< prominence in the fall of 1914 as chiel of staff of Field Marshal von Hindenburg, then a general, in the operation; against the Russians. When Von Hindenburg was given the chief command In August. 1916. l.udendorff was appointed first quartermaster general but his position in reality has been ? chief of staff and collaborator with Von Htndenburg. Soon after his appointment as first quartermaster general. Ludendorflf began to be looked upon as the real "boss" of Germany and was recognized as the representative of the Pan-Germans at great headquarters. It was l.udendorff who brought about the retirement of Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg and he was reputed to have been responsible for the appointment to the chancellorship of Michaells and Von Hertling. l?oth of whom were described as stopgaps.

The city of Aleppo was occupiei by British cavalry and armored car Saturday, says a British official state nient issued today. The fall of Alep|x to the British is the crowning even of the victorious campaign of Genera Allenby. in which he captured Jerusa lem and Damascus on his way north ward through Palestine and Syria Aleppo is ls"> miles north ol Damns cus and 70 miles east of the Mediter ranean sea.

Will Aleppo in the hands of the British. tlx Turkish forces facing the British arm; in Meso|H>tamia are in a more or lesi precarious |M>sition. The rnilroat from Aleppo has been their mail source of supply and the cutting of thi line at Aleppo renders it useless to tlx Turks- An advance northwnrd fron Aleppo would cut the Turkish force in Armenia and northern Mesopota mia and would open a road ovr which to send help to the Czecho Slovak and other anti-bolshevik forces in Hussia.

These guns are 6*> feet lonj and throw shells that are lfi inches li diameter. They wcie originally in tended for naval work, to be used 01 cruisers then building, but because o changes in the plans of the cruiser! for which they were intended becatiu available for the army. The guns an mounted on sjMvial cars, and each ,on< is equipped with a whole train, all thi cars heavily armored. This arrange ment provides for the moving of tin big guns from place to place, makini them less liable to destruction froit overhead bombs or long distance cue my artillery. The gun trains earn machine shops, sleeping quarters foi crews, ammunition, and various con veniences. A shell from one of thesi big guns, which are said to be th< largest ever put into mobile use ii land operations, is several time larger and more powerful than th. shells the Germans threw into 1'arii by means of their great long rangi gun. Although being used in lam work, the guns are manned and ope I.udendorff was reported to have been edi the originator of the plan of the German offensive of 1918. The plan called for offensive operations on the west- U8t ern front which would split the French of and British armies and compel the Al- sag t lies to beg for peace before the . strength of the American army could t be available to any great extent. It ! was planned that if the offensive failed of then Germany would resort to a diplo- ^ matic campaign in order to obtain je-aci*. Since the death of the German ,-S offensive and the successful offensive tio - of Marshal Foch. reports from Gerf many have been to the effect that Lus dendorff and Von Hindenburg were 1 losing their popularity in Germany, lav Isith because peace did not result from jj " tiie German attacks and because of f1 the lieavv casualties suffered by the bn Germans.

With prohibi- jn tion on public meetings because of in- all fluenza. except open air meetings in some cases, there was no other way to impress the people with the neces- day sities of the situation except through 1901 the newspapers. Almost every newspaper in the land did whnt it could 0|, / torially. and everywhere patriotic J >ple, individuals as well as bankers, d the newspapers as the best means spreading the all important mes- M ;e.

It is said that lots of people ve applied and been turned down: t it is hardly probable that ull who f mild have been turned down, were n nusl down, else the totul supply tuld not be minus the twenty gaits referred to. We tire glad that ' . Ilavne has not fallen into the II- a or distribution scheme as it was ev- v L ntly intended: but we would think II more of the doctor if he had posvely put his foot down on the whole siness and refused to have allowed a itself to be made a |?arty to the n heme in any particular. a , 0 , t We want to say that the United ^ ales government and the officials c ereof should be ashamed to ask the v wspafK-rs to give their advertising ace free of charge. Every newspa- v r knows very well how to distin- r isll between its duty to the |M'ople s promoting the public welfare on I' i own account, and no newspaper, a ?rthy of the name, wants pay for t is. Hut when it comes to asking a c wspaper to publish advertising or p her propaganda pro|g>sed by some <ly else, free or charge, tnat ih hip ^ nit. There is not ii mort1 difficult c oblcm In all the- range of business r an to make a newspaper give its s blishers a bare living, much less a r isonable profit over the cost of pro- t etion, and for anybody, whether u verninent official or private Individ- t I, to ask a newspai>er to give its ad- d rtising space frts- Is simply a down- g rht imposition. No stich imposition i attempted on any other class of c irkcrs under the sun. So far as we i: e concerned we do not want to be s derstood as asking the government pay for its advertising.

We are all Democrats down JIs way, and are very well pleased 8 th the way things are going; but at p c same time we recognize that if we 1 tc not pleased we have a pretty or way of helping ourselves. The a ly candidates in the election next s lesday will be the regular Demo- 1 itic. candidates, and it Is that or 8 thing. Hut really and truly we do t want anything else for represenive. Hon. W. F.

Take the presnt's address from beginning to end, " rely on Its merits as shown on the s re thereof, and it is a strong docu- I* lit. The plain Knglish of it Is: "I v ve for some time lieen engaged in " lat Is a man's job. of a very ticklish s tractor, involving the present and g ure welfare of the American people. * d this job is now in such sha|>e as make interference with it extremely ngerous to the public welfare. 1 ve still a lot of work to do. and in s * meantime the American people arc lnested to elect only Democrats to a ? house and senate." That looks isonajde enough, and the people of v nth Carolina would be glad to see 6 ; American people do Just that. But it the Republicans should not be so ^ reeable is quite natural. "The peo are the bosses of this country," t! \v say. and "we represent a major- A of the people." Although the Demrats are in a majority now In both ^ use and senate, they are there bejse of Republican votes. Rut don't a itn too much for these Democrats, fl muse their leaders on the military " airs committee of the house, on the ^ ;>*s and means committee of the 'a use and in the speaker's chair have c at* everything they could to hamper s war, and besides all that the rec- c is show that all along the president ^ s gotten more support from the Reblicans than he has from the Dem- j *ats. These Republican leaders a m to think that notwithstanding ^ ? president's professions of dlsln- ^ ested concern for the welfare of the 8 intry, he is more concerned in hav- V r his own party in the saddle than Is in having the Republican party & the saddle and that this whole ^ lclamation is more in the line of ^ king party advantage than It Is in ' line of promoting only the highest ft Ifare of the nation. As to how the el ng is going to turn out next Tues- ? y, we do not know. Of course for rely partisan reason, we hope the ft jse and senate will continue Demo- ft tic. But we are glad that we do t feel about ^hc matter as the presi- p it feels because if we did feel that y we would be very much alarmed si account of the probable fate of the M intry in case there should be a few 81 01 re Republicans in the house and tc ate than Democrats.
