A huge comet, Baid by some bis torians to have caused the abdica­ t e of Charles Y. of Austria, is Echeduled to appear during the ,,ext lew mouths if the forecasts of the atmosphere are correct says an exchange. The comet, which should make its appearance this year or next, there apparently being some doubt aS to the exact date, has a period of 120 yeai s and going backward (,,rover 1,000 years appearances of this remarkable comet have been notedevery 129 years altho the last appearauce of this comet was siid to have failed to make good, due probably to its unfavorable lo­ cation, probably being too close to the sun for observation. The cornet which ought to be here during the next few months, if the books give the correct data on this wanderer of the • inter-stel­ lar spaces, was last reported in the xrsr 11559, and while the comet was again due in 17S8 astronomers failed to get a glimpse of it, but another appearance should take place about this time, if the fore casts arc reliable. This comet with its period of 129 J years, and with the remarkable stories attached to former 'appear- | ances should be a celestial eight that will be worth while. It is I credited with being so bright when I iu its perjbelion or elements to the snu that it has been observed by I bayligbt, and its length has been I said to cover an arc of 30 to 40 de- giee or half way from the horizon to the point directly overhead, I when the comet was at its, I Cbl and was nearest the earth. The comet that may follow its I old custom again and.produce some I big changes in European politics, I this year or next, was first noted I by the Ghiuese Historians so far I back that the records are well nigh I obliterated.

A certaiu fine young American declared before he left for the front that he would die before he would let the Germans take him captive. He kept his word. He' is dead. W ithin a week- the news came that .he had fallen fighting in the battle of Picardy. His'family must feel that it is better so after reading Irvin Cobb’s account in the Sat­ urday Evening Post for April 27 of the brutalities suffered by Eng­ lish prisoners early in the war, an accumulating British record con­ taining sworn statements of Eng IiBhmen escaping from Germany. American captives are likely to suffer all this and more, for an even intenser German hatred is di­ rected toward America now than was directed toward England then. Irvin Cobb’s story in brief is thaf~ wounded British prisoners, crammed into cattle cars and pur- pasedly left to die of their injuries, were dragged about Germany for days and exhibited to a jeering, cursing and threatening popula tiom They were reviled, spat upon and sometimes actually at tacked;. Even well dressed womeu joined in the abuse and spitting. Even Bed Cross- nurses spat in the food as they offered it, often only pretending to offer it and taking it back, or throwing it on the ground outside the cars with derisive laughter. The prisoners, according to Mr. Cobb, were packed into cattle cars for days amid monstrous filth aud streneh, there being no provision for the imperative calls of oatnre. When they called, piteously for drink, the answer was likely to be bucket of water dashed over them. M erescraps of/food were thrown to them which they were left to scramble tor like dogs for a bone. One wounded officer was forced to walk naked through a hi­ larious crowd to get a morsel of food. A prison was left to burn over the prisoners’ heads, bayonetB keeping back rescuers. These are bnt a few of the barbarities in a hideous' chronicle showing the depths of depravity to which the Germans have sunk in their rage. How different this from the elegant manner in which the interned Ger mans are treated by Unde Sam iu the Western part ot this State.— Winston Journal. NOT CAMOUFLAGE. .

Hope for the billiou bus el wheat crop for which the govern­ ment is striving this year was strengthened by the department ot agriculture’s May crop report fore­ casting a production of 572,539,000 bushels of winter wheat. Secretary Houstoa said there was every reasou to anticipate increased farm yields thiB year over the re­ cord production last year Realization of a winter wheat crop as large as that forecast would place this year’s harvest of that grain as the third largest ever gathered. The estimate is 12,500,- 000 bushels more than forecast in April.from conditions then exist­ ing and 154,400,000 bushels more than the crop harvested last sum mer. On conditions from now un­ til harvest time will depend wheth er the crop will be larger or small er than today’s forecast based on conditions May I. In the- week since then the crop has made ex­ cellent progress in all principal producing areas. Rippling Rhymes. By Walt Mason.

My cow. she' eats the luBcions grass, and so do I; I till myself with garden sass, and make it 'ily long since the sweetmeats I forsook some wholesome succotash I cook aud drink some' wa er from the brook, that’s extra dry. My cow devours no precious wheat, no more do I; like her I hooverize and eat plain oats and rye; by follow­ ing the food boards rules m y. cow and I, any my two mules, will help, as though with deadly tools we made Teuls die. My cow, she runs and kicks her heels, and. so do I; its wonderful how good she feelB, how blithe aud spry; she has no use for roasts and steaks, for puddings, doughnuts, . pics and cakes, and all things the baker bakes, and that is why. My cow stands np against the rack, and so SATI SF ACTION vs CONTENTM ENT What's The Difference? Chronic Constipation. Perhaps you have never thought of it, but.this disorder is due to a lack of mois­ ture in the residual matter of the food. If you will drink an abundance of water, eat raw fruits and take lotsofoutdoor ex-' erase, you may be able eventually to overcome it entirely., In the meantime use the most mild and gentle laxative, Strong and harsh cathartics take too much water ou* of the system and make a bad -matter worse. -Chamberlain’s Tabletsare easy and- pleasant .to take,. and most agreeable m effect. .Give them a trial. do I; we eat our fodder from Btack, without a sigh; my cow has shown me what' to eat-, and I am nimble on toy feet, I ’m growing young,- so Jielp me pete; how’s that for high! To Prevent Belching. Make a regular habit of eating slowly. maBticate your food thoroughly, and you may have, no further trouble. If you should, take one of Chamberlain s Tablets immediately after supper. Dr. Justice, of Kernersville, says it’s just this—he’s satisfied Lhat whoeVcr stole his Gillette tire last week got the best tire he could find anywhere—and he’s far from contented without another to fall back on in case of emergency.

It is registered and .numbered, just like Gillette tires. Thestolen tire is No. 703481 k, and is a 36x41 N. S. S. S. The Liberty Bond is No. 4122962.

S. S.” Newspapers Hit Hard. The new zone postal rates applying to papers and periodicals goes into J effect July 1st It will prove the death blow to many publications as the rates proposed are not only ex- . cessive but are classed as extortion­ ate. W iththehighcost of paper, drafting printers, making labor scarce and .high and increased ex­ penses in every way, newspapers and periodicals are having a hard row to weed. For instance, the Shelby Highlander announces that it has no force left but its “devil” and its fu­ ture appearance is problematical, while a Laurinburg publication sus­ pends publication while a number of other papers in this state are short on force. Butthenew postal zone rate is “the kindest cut of all.” recognizing the value of publication as disseminators of news, educators, moulders of thought and opinion" and their patriotic and unestimable service to the. government. The newspapers apd. magazines are for this fight against Cermany to the finish Theyjare standing by the government—helping the country to present a solid front against the en emy. They will continue to keep up the good work and render gratuitous service, worth billions of dollars—un­ less they get the breath knocked out , of them.—Union Republican. When Uncle Sam Got Mad. Now it came to pass that the war lords put both feet on the acceler­ ator and observed not the speed limits. Neither did they consider the rights of others, but hogged the whole macadam. Now when Uncle Sam had thrice picked himself up in an adjoining field and wiped th j dirt from his eyes, he became peeved. The fourth time he waxed real angry, and at the fifth he was ready to fight. v AnU calling to his sturdy sons, he bade them to strew some glass and naib in the paths of the road swine. But the war lords only IaughetI at Uncle and mocked and reviled him -For thev would fain rule the world, and thought they could get away with it. ButUncleSamhad a fine bunch of boys who didn’t think that way at all, at all. And when a few war lords had their beans bumped against tele­ phone poles, and their chariots wrecked, they sat up and. took no­ tice. Then did they observe the kind of stuff they were up against, and re­ pented having no lining to their brakes. For the boys were full of pep and fight, and were fit for the task of war. They feared not military autocra­ cy, neither feared they the devil, the deep blue sea. nor the submarine that lurketh therein. For they had behind them demo­ cracy , wives, sweethearts; and a love for Freedom and Liberty. Yea, they were backed up by Lib­ erty Bonds and Thrift Stamps. The Red Cross ministered unto them, and the Y. Ml. kept a paternal eye over them. Their friends and relatives sent all.manner of comfort kits, sweaters, and cigarettes.. Verily, the path of the war lord lieth in rough places as he seeketh a place to head in. For the Stars and Stripes distur­ bed his plans and put the kibosh on bis ambitions.—Swiped. “W. S.

Dear Editor: I have been receiving your paper very regularly, ^appreciate it very much and now if you will allow me a short space I shonld like to give a few hints to the boys who are coming over later on: . Fellow Scrappers—These hints which I give you I have taken from our A E. F. paper. However, I have experienced most of them. In the first place before coming you want to make a few preparations. There are a few articles you need to bring for your own convenience. Bring with you plenty of toilet articles and your razors. If you have a safety razor bting enough blades to last during the war if you know how long that will be, for nine chances out of ten your face will nut be clean when you do sbave, therefore a blade won't last long. It is advisable to bring some soap, al­ though a chance to use it may come at lond intervals, still it will remind you of the days that were If you smoke remember that batches are rather scarce here. American tobac­ co is not a luxury either. If you would like to quit the habit just place yourself where you can gee nothing but this French tobacco. You'll quit all right. A fountain pen will save you a great deal of trouble. You will find a Y. M. C A. wherever you are, but a pen will .come | in handy in your billet, barrack or barn whichever you happen to live in. Begin a correspondence with every friend and relative vou have. Make a contract with them that they write you every week after vou leave until your re­ turn, for if you wait for mail until your first mail goes to the States and is an­ swered, you will wait a long time. I know. And above all things, don't land in France "broke.” Don’t spend all your money on board the ship. It will be the saddest mistake in your life. Although you may be where you can't buy much but still you like to have a little loose change to exchange for your first franc or vin rouge. On board the ship don't give up to sea­ sickness. Regardless of how you feel don’t] quit eating. If you get so bad that you have to see the doctor you can get some of the army’s favorite iodine. You know that iodine is the given remedy for any­ thing from sore feat to pneumonia. Life here isn't so hard. There is inter­ est in everything. Though tbe drills and hikes may he rather tough, still there is always something to amuse. Ufttil yon reach the trenches you will find life pleas­ ant. And then it isn't so hard in the trenches. There is amusement even here end excitement,, too, at times. Here's hoping that I may meet with some of the Davie boys in the near future somewhere in France. Pvt. RAY T.

Metal easily rusts and dis­ integrates .from atmospheric gases. Certain-teed cannot rust and its asphalt base makes it practically immune to any form of corrosion. Metal absorbs heat and transmits it to the interior of a building. Cermn-md insulates against heat and cold, and makes the building cooler in summer and warmer in winter.

Certain-teed is absolutely guaranteed 5,10 or 15 years, -according to thickness, and actually gives longer service than its guarantee. Metal is a direct drain on military materials. Certain-teed is made principally of rw-.c rags and asphalt—materials which have no military use whatever.

Ifl-ILE P BATE OF SPEED OF THE ADVANCE IS, HOWEVER, SLOWED DOWN SOME—RHEIMS LOST. HEAO S tfS !I MEANS STRIKE CHATEAU THEIRY IS OCCUPIED Taft-Walsh Board Renders Decision in Controversy With the Operators. New York.—The Western Union Tel­ egraph Company has declined to sub- oiit to the jurisdiction of the national war labor board which sought to ad­ just the differences between the com­ pany and those of Its employes who are members of the Commercial Teleg­ raphers’ Union of America. The Western Union’s decision be- ' c;:me known when the report of the txecutiv session of the war board, was made public. It embodied a report by W. H. Taft and Prank P. Walsh, joint chairman of the board, who con­ ferred with Newcomb Carlton, presi­ dent of the Western Union, in an effort to compose the differences between the company and those of its em­ ployes who had ben dlscahrged, it was charged, because they joinel the Com­ mercial Telegraphers’ Union of America- Complaint against the company’s action was taken to the war board and Mr. Taft and Mr. Walsh made an in­ vestigation. They then submitted a proposition in the nature of a com­ promise based on the principles un­ derlying the work of the war board. Tliis platform recognizes the right of men to organize and holds they should not be discharged for membership in trades unions or for legitimate trade union activities. “The Western Union is not seeking to deprive any one of his inalienable rights,” said Mr. Carlton in a state­ ment issued, 'but it recognizes that its employes must chose employment with it or membership- in the C. T. U. of A., with employment in the many other telegraph positions open to them for the Western Union employs less than 20 per cent of the total telegra­ phers in the United States. ‘“If you desire to join the C. T- U. of A., then we must part. So long as you retain your position with the com­ pany you will have every protection and' a full right of appeal, but we can­ not agree that you shall join any or­ ganization which imperils the contin­ uity of the telegraph service which this company is expected to provide for the government and public of the United States.’ ’’ Mr. Taft and Mr. Walsh, their re­ port showed, recommended to Mr. Carlton-that the Western Union re­ ceive a committee of its own men only, Tlio desired to present requests for better working conditions or compen­ sation, an dif an agreement could not be reached, the matter should be re­ ferred to the war board and the ques­ tion disposed of according to its rules. Allied Forces Vastly; Outnumbered; Reserves Have' Nowhere as Yet Been Brought Into Action. Plnnsrfng southward, with its mo­ mentum still unspent, the German war machine has driven its wedge into the allleO lines along the front until Its apex has reached the Marne river south of Fere-en-Tardenois. The des­ perate effeorts of the French and Brit­ ish to stem the tide against the in­ vaders have served only to slow down the Tate of speed of the German ad­ vance; the defenders of the heights north of the Marne seem to have been swept aside in the rush of thte enemy toward the road to Paris. Aside from the movement of the German armies southward, two other significant incidents of the tremendous battle have occurred. One is that the Germans have extended their attack to the northwest, along the Ailette river, from which the French have fallen back for some distance. The other is that the battle has extended to the east of Rheims, which city, during the first few days of the battle formed the extreme eastern end of the line of battle. Along the sides of the salient form­ ed by the rapid German advance to the Marne the French and British have been holding their positions gal­ lantly. South of Soissons, the French have defended their line with such vigor that the Germans have not made much impression upon it. On the oth­ er side of the battle area, the British aie still holding the forts of Rheims and positions just west of that war stricken city. Between the extreme sides of the salient the front sags toward the south, the line from Rheims to'the Marne running to the southwest at a gentle angle, while the French are holding a front at right angles to the direction of the German advance. GERMAN AIRMEN BOMB BIG CANADIAN HOSPITAL MAGNIFICENT OPPOSITION IS BEING IMPOSED The strength of General Foch’s re­ serves has been felt by the. armies of the German crown prince in the "bat­ tle for Paris.” East of the line running from Sois­ sons to Chatean-Thierry where the Germans in a continuation of their mighty strokes gained several addi­ tional villages and then attempted to proceed further westward, magnificent opposition was imposed by the newly strengthened lines and, with terrific smashes, the French forces recaptured Long ont, Corey, Favorellees and Tro- esnes, vantage points in the center of the line leading to the forest of Villers Cotterets, which seems to be the pres­ ent objective here of the enemy. The Germans, however, still have In their possession the villages of Vau- revis, lying to the west of Soissons. and further south of Saconin Et Breuil, Chaudun, Licy and Bouresches, the last named directly west of- Cha­ teau Thierry. A little to the south­ west of Chateau Thierry the enemy has reached the Marne. NO HOPE ENTERTAINED FOR FAIRBAN K’S RECOVERY Indianapolis. — Charles W. Fair­ banks, former vice president, who Is ill at his home here, lost ground con­ tinuously during the day and no hope is now entertained for his recovery by his chief physician, Dr. J. A. McDon­ ald Dr. McDonald said that the for­ mer vice president’s condition is more critical than at any time durinig his illness. Mr. Fairbanks has been seriously IU for about four weeks. MERCY FUND CLIMBS TO UNPRECEDENTED HEIGHTS Washihg*on.—The American Red Cross 'second .war mercy fund now to­ tals $166,439,291 -with indications that when all reports from the drive of a week ago are tabulated a $70,000,000 over-subscription of the 1100.000,000 goal will be shown. In announcing these figures, Henry P.- Davidson, chairman of the IRed Cross war coun­ cil, said the returns show that more had the total population ,of America, try—contributed. German airmen have bombed another hospital—this time a Canadian - insti­ tution—and exacted a considerable toll of casualties. Among those killed by the explosion of flames was an Amer­ ican medical officer who was admin­ istering an anaesthetic to a British officer in the operating room when that part of the hospital was demolish­ ed. Tho raid occurred at 12:30 o’clock in the morning. The hospital attacked was a large one. It had been in existence since the early day of the war and was marked by huge Red Cross signs. The German airmen, working partly by the light of the moon, dropped four bombs near the hospital and then not apparently able to see exactly where they were hitting, lighted a brilliant Uare which was let fall to illiuninate the surroundings. As the place was lighted up by the flare, they released another bomb or two which dropped squarely on a large wing of the hospital. In the wing there were thre floors, on-the bot­ tom one of which was the operating room. On the story above were, the office and patients’ room and above them were members Qf the hospital personnel. Part of the wing was de­ molished by the terrific explosion and many unfortunate persons were killed and wounded when the building col­ lapsed and buried them. The surgeons were just about to operate on an aviation officer and the American medical officer was stand­ ing by with the anaesthetic when the crash came. All those in that room were buried under an avalanche of brick and woodwork. The demolished wing caught fire and burned fiercely with many victims still pinned In the wreckage. ATTACKS ON FRENCH POSITIONS REPULSED Paris.—German atacks on French positions on the right bank of the AUette river have been repulsed. The Germans hare reached the Marne, light detachments having pbn- ertated as far as the river between Charteves and Jatigohne. On the right flank of the battle the BitiiaUon is unchanged which also is the condition west. and, north of Rheims, according to the, official state­ ment' issued by the war office. TO FACILITATE SHIPMENT OF COTTON TO ITALY Washington.—To facilitate the ship­ ment of raw. cotton to Italy and to strengthen the Italian government’s control of Imports, the war trade board has advanced by 20 days the effective date on which individual li­ censes for cotton exports now in ef­ fect to Italy wfl be required. Special licenses now In effect,; will be' with­ drawn Jane 10 Instead of June 30, after which Individual licenses will be necessary; ■ FUKOF GERMAN IS FRENCH HAVE STOOD THEIR GROUND IN VICINITY OF SOIS­ SONS AND ELSEWHERE. FORTS NEAR RHEiMIS FALL? Germans Claim to Have Captured More Than 35,000 Prisoners During New Drive Slowly but surely the plunge of the German crown prince’s armies is be­ ing halted by French and British ar­ mies. While the momentum of the German- masses has not as yet spent itself, there has been a notable slack­ ening In its advance during the past day. The chief efforts of the Germans now seem to be devoted to the widen­ ing of the gap they have torn in the positions of the allies between Pinon and Brimont. This work seems to be progressing slowly against the des­ perate resistance of the allied forces. The French having fallen back from the limits of the city of Soissons, have stood their ground against the at­ tacks of the enemy and the German official statement fails to show mate­ rial advances there during the day’s fighting. The' French are here fighting on fa­ miliar ground which has been made historic by numerous battles some of which are named among the decisive combats of history. On the eastern end of the fighting line some of the forts before Rheims are said to have fallen, which was to be expected from the fact that they have been outflanked by the tide of invasion that has swept far to the south of the city. The fighting has taken on the fa­ miliar aspect of the first invasion of France in 1914, the advance of von Mackensen along the Dunajeo and the fighting in iPcardy in March. After breaking the French and British de­ fense positions, but not breaking the allied line, the Germans are again moving their forces out in a fan­ shaped figure, fighting hardest on. the ilan-ks of the extreme front of their advance. Serious But Not Critical. The situation; while apparently ex­ tremely serious, has-not assumed the critical aspect of the flighting late in March. The allies atfe resisting the enemy’s attacks stubbornly, giving ground when ovei powered, and al­ ways maintaining a solid front. NATION OFFERS PRAYERS FOR THOSE FIGHTING Washington.—The American people paid homage to the memory of the na­ tion’s defenders who have fallen in battle and prayed for the success of those who are fighting overseas. * Added solemnity was given this memorial day by the great battle rag­ ing on the fields of France, where American soldiers are standing with the allied troops abreast the charg­ ing German armies. For the ultimate victory of these Americans and the thousands who are to follow them, President Wilson, in response to a resolution by Congress, had asked the people to make of Memorial Say a' day of fasting and supplication. The President and Mrs. Wilson at­ tended services this morning at the Central Presbyterian church and in the afternoon went to Arlington na­ tional cemetery, where annual me­ morial exercises were held by the Grand Army of the Republic. The presidential party was escorted through the grounds to the speakers’ stand by a troops of cavalry and a company of engineers. Secretary Ba­ ker occupied-a seat on the stand. Senator Curtis, of Kansas, delivered the' Memorial day oration and Rev.- Mr. Couden, the blind chaplain of the house of representatives, recited Lincoln’s Gettysburg address. GREAT GERMAN MILITARY MA- CHINE IS IN ACTION ALONG 20-MILE FRONT IN AI8KJE. ALLIES GREATLY O IITM B ER D Some Unofficial Estimates Place Nifm- ber of German Shock Troops > at 25 Divisions. The great German military 'machine is in full motion along the. 25-mile front in the Aisne river sector be­ tween Vailly and Berry An Bac1 and, greatly outnumbered, the British and EVench everywhere are giving ground. According to the German official communications, numerous towns and villages in the fighting zone have been.taken by the enemy and 15,000 allied troops already have been made prisoner. At last accounts the Germans weie endeavoring to press back the defend­ ers upon the Vesle river, which runs parallel with the Alsne, and at several points had reached positions dominat­ing the Vesle valley. The offensive is being carried out with the greatest rapidity for the German- high command evidently is well aware of the fact that General Foch1S reserves have been reported to be coming up rapidly to reinforce the hard pressed British and French, who are fighting valiantly against the ter­ rible odds and making wave upon wave of the enemy pay dearly In cas­ ualties for every foot of ground they obtain. Notwithstanding the rapidity of the drive and the large number of the enemy pressing it—some unofficial estimates place the. number of shock troops alone at 25 divisions, or about 300,000 picked men—the allied front nowhere has been piereced, but under the onslaughts has bent back In per­ fect liaison, and all the time giving battle. With such .precision has the retire­ ment been conducted that both the British and the French have been able to carry back with them all of their supplies and guns or to destroy those they were not able'to handle. Although the Germans, for the mo­ ment at least, seemingly are having their own way on the southern part of the Une in France, on the sectors around Montdidier and southwest of Ypres they are being sorely harrassed by the American and British and French.

I i ': L DIRECTOR WALKER IS RECEIVING MANY LETTERS FROM PROSr PECTIVE ATTENDANTS. DISPATCHES FROM RALEIGH Doings and Happenings That Mark the Progress of North Carolina Peo­ ple, Gathered Around the State Capital. R aleig h . With less than three weeks before ;he opening of the next session of the University of North Carolina Summer School, great interest and enthusiasm in the work are being manifested. Prospects for this-year’s opening are exceedingly bright, judging from the number of queries and letters coming to Director N. W. Walker daily con­ cerning courses of instruction and other matters. Reservations have al­ ready been made for practically all of the available dormitory space. This the thirty-first session of the Summer School, will open June 11 and will con­ tinue through sftc weeks, closing July 25. The Summer School catalogue has recently come from the press, and con­ tains full details of the courses offer­ ed, members of the faculty, and infor­ mation concerning special lectures, recreational features and the like. More than ever before, the Summer School this year will try to address it­ self to the task of preparing men and women for special service in this time of war. Certain vocational courses have been introduced, and even the public will focus attention on the prob­ lems and tasks of American democ­ racy. The curriculum will be unusual­ ly AiU and interesting. In addition to •the many courses offered last year, there will be certain -new ones, With increased emphasis on war-time topics and problems. Courses having a more or less direct bearing oil the war are those in home, vegetable gardening, household chemistry, contemporary United States history, national ideals in British and American literature, military French, stenographers’ courses, cooking and sewing, and so­ cial problems. At the special request of the Food Administration at Wash­ ington, two special courses in home economics, as outlined by the admin­ istration, have been included in the curriculum. The department of edu­ cation, which is already recognized as one .of the strongest in the South, will add several new courses with- the spe­ cial view of making the teachers of the state more efficient. Dr. Walker, who is state inspector of high schools, thinks that all summer schools should be better attended this year than ever before, since many new teachers will be -needed next fall to fill the vacancies caused by the draft Making State Hospital Safe. The importance of fire protection for the state institutions, including colleges and hospitals is given a new impetus in North Carolina by reason of the disaster in Columbia, S. C., by which the burning of a frame cottage at the Hospital for the Insane of South Carolina took a heavy toll of the lives of the inmates. . Insurance Commis­ sioner James R. Young has charge of the work of making North Carolina in­ stitutions safe under the special act and appropriation of the last legisla­ ture. His efforts are now directed to­ ward means of retarding the spread of flTes in order to give time for those in charge to get the inmates out. The Columbia disaster was' in an 'isolated frame cottage only one story, while many of the North Carolina -buildings, anything but fireproof, are two and even three stories. The in- staollation of fire walls and fire resist­ ing shutters, are special features of the changes being made for the safety of the inmates so that where fires get such a start that buildings are burned, the spread will be as slow as possible. Often in this state, a building with sixty or more inmates at -night can liave only a couple of attendants on duty. . In case of fires, the plan is for the fire walls and shutters between compartments or sections of the build­ ing to hold back the flames while the attendants and those rushing to their assistance may have time to get the inmates to safety, and control them in ' their places of refuge. It seems to IieTvo been inability to keep the insane -patients out of the burning cottage that contributed most to . the fatalities -In Columbia but with less rapidly spreading -flames and the clearing of sections of the buildings and then clos­ ing the fire shutters as the inmates are gotten out much of this phase of the danger would also be averted. Go On With Work. “Go on with- y6ur remdial :work but don't allow any of your construc­ tive efforts to lag”-was the injunction of Mrs. Josiah Svans Cowles, presi­ dent of the General Federation of Women’s Club before the North Caro­ lina Federation Jn the second night session of its annual convention in Raleigh, as she read for the ArBt time publicly the cablegram just received by her from Gen. Pershing in France bearing the thanks of the American commander for the expression of loy­ alty sent to him by her. Pft/slcians Fined for Violating Law. Two physicians. of Rockingham- county were last week convicted of violating the state quarantine laws, in that they had not reported cases of contagious diseases treated by them. The matter was investigated by Dr. A. McR. Crouch, state entomologist of the state board of health, these convic­ tions being the first fruits of an ener­ getic campaign just begun by the state board of health to see that the state quarantine laws are rigidly en­ forced throughout the state. Dr. H. H. McBride, of Reidsville, at­ tended a case of diphtheria and one of cesebro-spinal meningitis which he failed to report-to the county quaran­ tine officer. His only-reason was care­ lessness, pleading guilty to the charges and paying a fine of H and the costs. In Graham Dr. Crouch found that Dr. J. W. Taylor had treated two young women suffering from whooping cough. The girls were working in a local mill, but became to sick for work and went to their home in the coun­ try. There they spread the disease among the younger children in their own family as well as among the chil­ dren of a neighbor. Dr. Taylor was called ot treat one of the younger children, and still failed to make any reporjt of the disease. I mxm 3 LOOK AT CHILD’S TONGUE IF SICK Cr o ssl J everisii HURRY, MOTHER!

If the average for the past four years is maintained this year there will be in North Carolina during the month of June more than five hun­ dred cases of typhoid fever, and one in each seven of the persons having the . disease will die. ' That this record of past years shall not be maintained is the determination of the state board of health, which is bending every effort • to reduce the typhoid death rate for 1918 materially from the rate of last year. There has been a grati­ fying reduction for each of the past four years, and the state board of health has set 500 as the maximum for this year. Working toward this end active anti­ typhoid campaigns are being waged In a number of counties. Typhoid vac­ cine is being furnished .free by the State Laboratory of Hygiene, and in a number of places is being adminis­ tered' without charge. A number of counties have taken advanced steps in sanitary legislation that will greatly aid in preventing the spread of the fever germs. A death from typhoid is a useless death, and the realization of this fact is causing wide-spread in­ terest in the methods of prevention. The greatest handicap to the fight against typhoid is the common fly which breeds in filth and carries the germs of the disease far and wide. The records show that the disease rises and falls in direct ratio to the fly sea­ son, reaching the maximum in August when files are most plentiful, and fall­ ing to the minimum in March when the flies have been frozen out through the cold winter months.

In the case of infant diarrhea the number is al­ most double among those who are -ix- posed to flies as compared with those who are protected. In other words, a baby whose parents do not screen Uie house and do all possible to keep out flies has just twice as much danger of having “sumer complaint” which each year wipes out so many little lives. . Primarily the cause of flies is filth. They cannot exist in thoroughly clean surroundings. A house buzzing with flies is a house that has accumulation of fllth somewhere near it. If the premises of the house itself are clean, then those of a nearby neighbor are not. Screening,.and the use of fly paper and swatters against the few that get through carelessly opened doors, has been 'proved to be the most effective weapon against flies. Screening is in­ expensive. Where wire screens can­ not be purchased a small amount ol mosquito netting will serve to cover all windows arid doors, and a sufficient quantity for the average house can be bought for-a very small sum.. If prop, erly put in the mosquito net screen­ ing will last usually two seasons. Three Graduates at Blind School.

ADVANCE, BUT IOSE HEAVILY Foch’s Reserves Come Up and Huns Are Checked North of the Marne— Americans Carry Out Offensive In Gallant Style—Italians Win Two Victories. By EDWARD W. PICKARD. Last -week witnessed a renewal of the kaiser’s -drive on the west front, but to the surprise of everyone not In the confidence of the German high command, the blow was directed, not against the allies in Flanders, ■ nor against their lines in the Amiens re­gion, but In" Champagne. His appar­ ent Intention was to rush his forces swiftly on Pails, breaking through where the allies were weakest. The location was well chosen and the prep­ arations made with wonderful secrecy, but up to the hour of writing the re­ sults were, as In the former drives, not comparable with the losses sustained. The apex of the drive had advanced some 18 miles beyond the starting line, reaching Vezilly, six miles from the Marne and 44 miles from Paris. The famous Chemin des .Dames had been taken, as had Craonne, Vailly, Fismes. and other towns and villages, and finally, on the west side of the new salient, the allies retired from Sols- sons. But by that time GeneCal Foch’s reserves were arriving In large num­ bers and the desperate efforts of the Germans to widen the salient were stubbornly ■ resisted and virtually checked. In the suburbs of Solssons the French were holding onto the west­ ern outlets from that city, and north­ west of Reims, on the east side of the wedge, the EYanco-BritIsh forces were repulsing -every Hun assault. The commanders of the, allies viewed the situation with calm confidence and seemed to have no doubt that they could stem the onrush of the (Germans long before they reached the neighborhood of. Paris. They were not yielding a foot of ground easily or cheaply, but were pursuing their former policy of retiring In good order before vastly su­ perior numbers, maintaining their line intact and sparing their reserves as much as possible. • —The German armies selected for this third drive were those of the crown prince, though they nre commanded really not by that degenerate son of the kaiser, but by Generals Von Boehm and Von Below. About thirty divisions, with large droves of tanks and much artillery, were brought up to the Che- min des Dames front In the nights and kept concealed In the daytlnSe so that the allied aviators had no Inkling that the long expected attack was to be made there. Facing the 30 divisions were nine French and four British di­ visions to stop the Germans when they began their attack on Monday between Coucy and Reims, after a terrific bom­ bardment with gas and high explosive shells. They forced their way down to the Alsne the first day, and even crossed that river at some points. Neirt day they made a further advance of some five miles, reachi Hg the Vesle river and forcing a crossing at Fismes, but already they were being slowed up, and on the flanks they were able to make little progress. Wednesday they directed great masses of troops at Sois- sons, and the French and British there,' after exacting a fearful price In lives, withdrew to the western environs. Meanwhile the German center was pushed forward to Fere-en-Tardenols a.nd Vezilly. On Thursday the entire allied line was reported to be holding well, and thereafter the Huns made, slow and difficult progress, or none at all. ■ — f c —Foch’s arrangements for handling •Hs reserves Droved excellent, and the fresh troops arrived swiftly and with­ out confusion, largely by motortruck trains, and got into the fight immedi­ ately on reaching the front. Foch was compelled to keep in mind the fact that more than 3.000,000 German soldiers are facing him and that vast numbers are still threatening Amiens and Ar­ ras, and consequently he could not make his- line everywhere as thick as he would like-to have It Bui his plans for quick shifting of troops are ad­ mirable. The German soldiers, it has been learned from various sources, were keyed up to the present effort by promises of the prompt capture of Paris and a consequent German peace. That these promises cannot be ful­ filled there need not be the least doubt. The morale and valor and determina­ tion of the French-and British were never greater than now, and the ever Increasing numbers of the dashing American soldiers give them renewed confidence. —fe— The Americans in Picardy undertook their first real offensive on Tuesdny, and acquitted themselves gloriously. Attacking on a front of one and a quarter miles west of Montdidier, in less than an hour they had smashed the German lines, captured the village of Cantigny. taken several hundred prisoners and inflicted heavy losses in killed and wounded on the enemy. The entire attack, including the waves of barrage fire,-was carried out with per­ fect smoothness. Twelve tanks led the way. and Pershing’s men followed them with the cry “Go to it, Tanks.” When they reached Cantigny they found the village mainly ruined houses, with the German garrison hidden In caves and dugouts. These refuges were speedily cleaned out with grenades, and all the Germans there were either killed or captured. A ridge beyond the village was the. real military Ob- jective.and this our troops soon gained, and prepared to hold it, de.'«>ite the fierce fire from the enemy. And hold it 'they did throughout the week, against repeated counter-attacks. This operation was not extensive, but as. one’ British officer jubilantly re­ marked, it was not the size that count­ ed so much as the splendid way in which the Americans showed the Ger­ mans their mettle. In the Luneville sector the Huns made a heavy attack on the American line' Wednesday, but were driven back with considerable loss. The Americnn casualties were few and not a prisoner was taken by the enemy, though that was their main object. That night there was great. artillery activity all along the front northwest of Toul, and on Thursday many aerial battles were fought there. —Sa­ in Flanders the Germans made one big attack, early in the week, between Voormezeele and Locre, hut after gain­ ing a small bit of ground they were driven back with severe losses. —ta— A characteristic bit of German bru­ tality was the deliberate bombing of American hospitals In a town many miles from the front. One nurse was killed and a number of wounded were injured. The Hun aviators also made several attempts to raid Paris, but the air defenses of- the French capital are now so admirable that the raiders were easily driven off. American avia­ tors are now helpings to defend Paris. ■ — t a — The Italians apparently grew tired of waiting for a renewal , of the Aus­ trian .offensive arid took matters .into their own hands. In two dashing op­ erations they captured Important mountain positions' In the Tonale re­ gion, together with many prisoners and guns, arid cut a big gap through the' Austrian defenses on the lower Piave front at Capo Sile. The first of these battles was fought on ground 1,200 feet above the sea and amid gla­ ciers and melting snows. — 6 a - Sweden, it was ' announced, has signed a commercial and navigation agreement with Great Britain and her allies.

I was sitting at my desk talking to a Uentenant of the Jersey National Guard. On the wall was a big war map decorated with variously colored little flags showing the position of the opposing armies on the western front In France. In front of me on the desk lay a New York paper with big flaring headlines: LUSITANIA SUNK! AMERICAN LIVES LOST! The windows were open and a feel­ ing of spring pervaded the air.. Through the open windows came the strains of a hurdy-gurdy playing In the street—'T Didn't Raise My Boy to Be a Soldier.” “Lusitania Sunk I American Lives Lost!”—“I Didn’t Raise My Boy to Be a Soldier.” To us these did not seem to jibe. The lieutenant in silence opened one of the lower drawers of his desk and took from it an American flag which he solemnly draped over the war map on the wall. Then, turning to me with a grim face, said: “How about it, sergeant? You had better get out the muster roll of the Mounted Scouts, as I think they will be needed in the course of a few days.” We busied ourselves till late In the evening writing out emergency tele­ grams for the men to report when the call should come from Washington. Then we went home. I cros.ied over to New York, and as I went up Fulton street to take the subway to Brooklyn, the lights In the tall buildings of New York seemed to be burning brighter than usual, as if they, too, had read “Lusitania SunkI American Lives Lost!” They seemed to be glowing with anger and righteous Indignation, and their rays wigwagged the message, “Repay I” Months passed, the telegrams lying handy, but covered with dust. Then, one momentous morning the. lieutenant with a sigh of disgust removed the flag from the war map and returned to his desk. I immediately followed this action by throwing the telegrams into the wastebasket Then we looked at each other In silence. He was squirming In his chair and I felt de­ pressed ai Jl uneasy. The teti jhone rang and I answered It It wao a business call for me, re­ questing my services for an out-of- town assignment Business was not very good, so this was very welcome. After llgtoning to the proposition I seemed to be swayed by a peculiarly strong force within me, and answered, “I am sorry that I cannot accept your offer, but I am leaving for England next week,”'and hung up the receiver. The lieutenant swung around In his chair, and stared at me in blank aston­ ishment A sinking sensation came over me, but I defiantly answered his look with, “Well, it’s so. Tm going.” And I went. The trip across was uneventful. I landed at Tilbury, England, then got Into a string of matchbox cars and proceeded to London, arriving there about 10 p. m. I took a room In a.hotel near St Pancras station for “five and six—fire extra.” Tbe room was minus the fire, but the “extra” seemed to keep me warm. That night there was a Zeppelin raid, but I didn't see much of it, because the slit in the curtain! was too small and I had no desire to make it larger. Next morning the tel­ephone bell rang, and someone asked, “Are you there?” I was, hardly. Any­ way, I learned that the Zeps had re­ turned to their fatbarland, so-I went out into the street expecting to1 see scenes of awful devastation and a cow­ering populace, but everything. was normal People were calmly proceed­ ing to their work. I Crossing the street, I accosted a Bobbie, with: “Can you direct me to the place of damage?”He asked m e, "What damage?” In surprise, I answered, “Why, the flunage caused by the Sepa4* With a wink he replied: “There was no damage; we missed them again.” After several fruitless inquiries of the passersby, I decided to go on my own in search of ruined buildings and scenes of destruction. I boarded a bus which carried me through Tottenham Court road. Recruiting posters were everywhere. The one that impressed me most was a life-size picture of Lord Kitchener with his finger point­ ing directly at me, under the caption of “Your King and Country Need You.” No matter which way I turned, the' accusing finger followed me. I was an American, ln muftl, and had a little American flag in the lapel of my coat. I had no king, and my country had seen fit not to need me, but still that pointing finger made me feel small and ill at ease. I got off the bus to try to dissipate this feeling by mixing with the throng of the sidewalks. Presently I came to a recruiting of­ fice, Inside, sitting at a desk was a lonely Tommy Atkins. I decided to in­ terview him In regard -to joining the British army. I opened the door. He looked up and greeted me with “I s’y, myte, want to tyke on?” I looked at.hlm and answered, “Well, whatever that is, I’ll take a chance at it.” Without the aid of an interpreter, I found out that Tommy wanted to know if I cared to join the British army. He asked me: “Did you ever hear of the Royal Fusiliers?” Well, in London, you know, Yanks are supposed to know everything, so I was not going to ap­ pear ignorant and answered, “Sure.” 'After listening for one hnlf-hour to Tommy’s tale of their exploits on the firing line, I decided to join. Tommy took me to the recruiting headquarters, where I met a typical English captain. He asked my nationality. I immedi­ ately pulled out my American passport and showed it to him. It was signed Guy Empey. by Lansing. After looking at the passport, he informed me that he was sorry but could not enlist 'me, as it would be a breach of neutrality. I insisted that I was not neutral, be­ cause to me it seemed that a real American could not be neutral when big things were In progress, but the captain would not enlist me. With disgust in my heart I went out in the street I had gone about a block when a recruiting sergeant who had followed, me out of the office tapped me on the shoulder with his swagger stick and said: “S’y, I can get you in the army. We have a 4Ief- tenanf down at the other office who can do anything. He has just come out of the O. T. O. (Officers’ Training corps) and does not know what neu­ trality is.” I decided to take a chance, and accepted his invitation for an In- troduction-to the lieutenant. I entered the office and went up to him, opened up my passport and.said: 44Before going further I wish to state that I am an American, not too proud to fight, and want to join your army.” He looked at me In a nonchalant manner, and answered, 4Thatis all right; we take anything ofrer' here.” I looked at him kind of hard and re­ plied, “Sb I notice,” but it went over bis head. He got out an enlistment, blank, and placing his finger on a blank line said, “Sign here.” , I answered, 44Not on your tintype." 4T beg your pardon?” Then I- explained to him that I would not sign it without first reading it I read it over and signed for duration of war. Some of the recruits were lucky. They , signed for seven years’only I Then he asked me my birthplace. I Answered. “Ogden. TJtah.” He said, 4iObl yes, just outside of New YorkW WlthasmIle, ! repfied, aWeitt IUenp the-sfnte a little.” Then I was taken before the doctor and passed aB physically fit, and was issued a uniform. When I reported back to the lieutenant, he suggested that, being an American, I go on re­ cruiting service and try to shame some of the slackers Into joining the army.” “AU you have to do,” be said, “is to • go out on the street:-and when you see a young feUow in mufti who looks physically fit, just stop him and give him this kind of a talk: !Aren’t you ashamed of yourself, a Britisher, phys­ically fit, and In mufti when your king and country need you?- Don’t you know that your country is at war and that the place for every young Briton is on the firing line? Here I am, an American, in khaki, who came four thousand miles to fight for your king and country, and you, as yet, have not enlisted. Why don’t you join? Now is the time.’ “This argument ought to get many recruits, Empey, so go out and see what you can do.” He then gave me a small rosefe of red, white and blue ribbon, with three little streamers hanging down. This was the recruiting Insignia and was to be worn on the left side of the cap.Armed with a swagger stick and my patriotic rosette, I went out into Tot­ tenham Court road in quest of cannon fodder. Two or three 'poorly dressed civil­ ians passed me, and although they ap­ peared physically fit, I said, to myself, 4They don’t want to Join the army; perhaps they have someone dependent on them for support,” so I did not ac­ cost them. Coming down the street I saw a young dandy, top hat and all, with a fashionably dressed girl walking be­ side him. I muttered, “You are my meat,” and when he came abreast of me I stepped directly in his path and stopped him with my swagger stick, saying: 44You would look fine in khaki; why not change that top hat for a steel helmet? Aren’t you ashamed of your­ self, a husky young chap like you in mufti when men are needed in the trenches? Here I am, an American, came four thousand miles from Ogden, Dtnh, just outside of New York, to fight for your king and country. Don’t be a slacker, buck up and get into uni­ form; come over to the recruiting of­ fice and I’ll have- you enlisted.” He yawned and answered, 4T don’t care if you came forty thousand miles, no one asked you to,” and he walked on. The girl gave me a sneering look; I was speechless. I recruited for three weeks and near­ ly got one recruit This perhaps was not the greatest stunt In the world, but it got back lEt the officer who had told me, 44Yes, we take anything over here.” I had been spending a good lot of my recruiting time in the saloon bar of the Wheat Sheaf pub (there was a very attractive blonde barmaid, who helped kill time— I was not as serious in those days as I jWas a little later when I reached the front)—well, it was the sixth day and my recruiting report was blank. I was getting low In the pocket—bar- maids haven’t much use for anyone who cannot buy drinks—so I looked around for recruiting material. You know a man on recruiting service gets a “bob” or shilling for every recruit he entices into joining the army, the recruit is supposed to get this, but he would not be a recruit if he were wise to this fact, would he? Down at the end of the bar was a young fellow in mufti who was very patriotic—he had about four “Old Six” ales aboard. He asked me if he could join, showed me his left hand, two fingers were missing, but I said that did not matter as “we' take any­ thing over here.” The left hand is the rifle hand as the piece is carried at the slope on the left shoulder. Near­ ly everything In England is “by the left,” even general traffic keeps to the port side. I took the applicant over to head­ quarters, where he was hurriedly ex­ amined. Recruiting surgeons were busy in those days and did not have much time for thorough physical exam­ inations. My recruit -was'passed as “fit” by the doctor and turned over to a corporal to make note of. his scars. I was mystified. Suddenly the corpo­ ral burst out with, “Blime me, two of his fingers are gone.” Turning to me he said, 44You certainly have your nerve with you, not ’alf you ain’t, to bring this beggar In.” The doctor came over and exploded. “What do you mean by bringing In a man In this condition?” Looking out of the corner of my eye I noticed that the officer who had re« cruited me had joined the group, and I could not help answering, “Well, sir. I was told that you took anything over here."I think they called it 44Yankee im­ pudence,” anyhow It ended my recruit­ ing. - In training quarters, “eome- vvliere In France," Empey hears the big guns booming and makes the acquaintance, of the "coo­ ties."

In Virginia’s early days communica­ tion with the mother country was, ol course, wholly by ships, and when one was. expected the colonists were aU eagerness for the news from home. On the occasion- of one, it may have been the first,.of a certain Captain Newport’s expected return from Eng­ land,' at or near the place now bearing his name, a large number of person* collected to receive “Newport’s news.' Hence the name, now uhortened to it present form Swimming Suits Equal to the SportTHIS WEAK, Tells How LydiaE-PinkhamrK Vegetable Compound RestoredHerHealtIu Philadelphia, Pa.—44I was very west, always tired, my back ached, and I felt: sickly most of tha- time.

I The majority of mothers nowaday i overdo, there are so many demand ' upon their time and strength; the resulk is invariably a weakened, run-down, nervous condition with headaches, back­ache, irritability and depression—and! soon more serious ailments develop. It is at such periods in life that LydiaE- Pinkham’s vegetable Compound will restore a normal healthy condition, as it did to Mrs. Worthline. There are bathing suits—and bath­ ing suits—but they are as varied as the shells of tile sea. Some of them are- intended, for the girl who sticks to the beach, but lends countenance to the sport of swimming by wearing a 6tunning bathing costume—which may never be wet. Others are pretty and more or less practical affairs of silk, that are all right for the usual splash­ ing about and beach play. And then there are the real, practical swim­ ming suits for the girl who swims and demands the right kind of gar­ ment for the sport. A real and successful bathing suit must be sturdy and equal to strenu­ ous wear. It must .set well and look well when it is wet as well as when It Is dry. It must insure perfect freedom of the limbs and be dyed with colors that know no such words as “run” or “fade.” With all these sterling, common-sense qualities It will remain forever unhonored and unsung if it Is not good looking to start with. Many of this season’s suits are sleeveless, and others have short band or puffed sleeves. A fascinat­ ing affair of black satin is shaped like chemise, with narrow bands set into the arm’s-eye and the bottom edge gathered into -bands that fasten about the legs just above the knees. It is wide enough to give the swimmer j plenty of freedom. Stockings that do j not reach to the knees and low slip- j pers fastened with a single strap are an innovation in the styles. The knees are uncovered. With a black satin bathing garment, like that just described, white stockings, barred with black, and black slippers are to be worn. A cap with a band of white rubberized cloth and a soft black crown provides the proper headwear. The two swimming suits shown In the picture are entirely practical, and will stand the rigid tests of the hab­ itual swimmer. They are light-weight wool In an elastic weave. The suit at the left is shaped to set very close to the figure. It is in navy blue with navy and white striped border. The suit at the right is In gray and white bordered with a white band having a pin stripe. The upper garment hangs I straight from the shoulders and Is ' given its shapeliness by a white sash i of woven material like the suit.

It Is not a bad Idea to put off buying i practical spring and summer coat— which nearly every woman needs—un­ til spring has really come to stay. By the middle of May styles are establlsh- ed.and the latest and last efforts of the designers have appeared and had their try-outs. Perhaps nothing more beau­tiful than the first models will follow them over the horizon of fashion, but one will have the satisfaction of hav­ ing seen the whole parade before mak­ ing a choice. Long capes, long coats- and coats with detachable capes made their entry logetiier this season. With Its ad­ vance capes have grown in popularity. Coats have appeared in the heavier weaves of silk, but the soft elastic light­ weight wool coatings are unrivaled for beauty in Interesting shades of beaver, rose, blue, green and gold. Two of these unmussable and envel­ oping coats, as pictured above, are ex­ amples of good style In the summer utility coat. One would have to be provided with a pocket dictionary to -all all the new names that are given fo varieties of familiar weaves of cloth, ■ut there is one. that merits remem- •ering. It is a spring version of velours -nd appears ^in the coat at the right, the coat at the left is In a firmer am'. smoother weave and has a surface re­ sembling broadcloth. Fashion demands coats and capes that reach almost or quite to the bot­ tom of the- dress with collars that are high at the back and may be turned up to muffle up the throat. Nearly all of them are protected and prettily fin­ ished with over-collars of georgette crepe. Some of the long capes are far from simple. Very dark blue is favored for them and sometimes they continue to be made up with a vest and wide gir­ dle in p contrasting color—dark rose for one—and it is a very fine combina­ tion. Occasionally a long cape Is fin­ ished with deep silk fringe.

MUSTACHE COMES WITH BARS Or, at Least, That Would Seem to Be the Idea That Was in the Mind of Private Jones. Somewhere in France, they’re all here—or they will be. Private Bill Jones, late customs in­ spector at San Francisco, walked into a depot quartermaster’s office, u copy of Paragraph —, S. 0. —, In his hand. It was evening, and only a major and a captain were present “What do you want?” asked the cap­ tain. “Transportation, sir,” replied Pri­ vate Jones, putting forth his best sa­ lute, “this order says I’ve got to go—” “Well, I’ll be—,” said the captain, interrupting. “This is the last place I expected to see you.” “Well, for the love of Mike!” ex­ claimed Private Jones. “I’d ’a’ known you in a minute if it wasn’t for that mustache and the—a—shoulder bars.” The captain used to be in the Im­ migration department in Snn Francis­ co and he and Private Jones used t*> work together. , Protected.

Lemon Catsup>—Mix a tablespoon­ ful of grated horseradish with the grated rinds of four lemons; adil three teaspoonfuls of salt, the juice of the lemons, and two tablespoonfuls each of mustard and celery seed, four cloves and a dash of red pepper. BOll 30 minutes and put away six weeks. This is fine to serve with flsh. Currant Mint Sauce.—Cut In small pieces two-thirds of a glass of cur­ rant jelly; add one and a half tea,- spoonfuls of finely chopped mint, and the grated rind of a quarter of an orange. Serve with mutton. Barbecued Ham.—Wipe a thick slice of ham and remove the surplus fat, which may be fried out and saved for various uses. Cover the ham with lukewarm water and let stand an hour. Drain, wipe and put Into a hot pan to brown well on both sides. Remove the ham, and to the fat in the pan, add three tablespoonfuls of vin­ egar, mixed with- one teaspoonful of mustard, one half-teaspoonful of su­ gar and a‘ few dashes of paprika.

That dull, heavy, “bloated" sensation that follows a full meal, robs good living of half its pleasures. Is there any way out tor you sufferers with stomach weak­ ness? Yes; H. X<. Kramer, the man who -originated Cascarets, has found a sure, -Quick, relief for indigestion, dyspepsia, "soar stomach,” heart-bum, formation of painful gases, “bloating,” etc., etc. He calls his stomach relief EA- TONIC1 and it certainly is making a ■wonderful record. Countless thous­ ands of people who formerly ap­ proached their meals with dread, now eat their fill of their favorite foods without fear of the after-effects. Mr. Kramer says: “My EATONIC tablets are the solution of the age-old problem of indigestion and all forms OC stomach misery. “EATONIC neutralizes the acids, that form the painful gases, “sweet­ ens” the stomach, and gives the gastric juice a chance to do its work as it should. “To promote appetite and aid diges­ tion, take EATONIC tablets—one or two after each meal. They are per­ fectly harmless. Eat them just like candy. “For distress after eating; sour, “gassy,” add stomach, vertigo, nausea and belching, and that wretched, puffed-up, “lumpy” feeling, after over­ eating; there is nothing to compare with EATONIC Tablets.” AU druggists sell EATONIC — 50c for a large box.

This Is the season of the year when looking over old treasures and unused but still useful articles, to pass them on. JEo somebody who has little, they would be both use­ ful and acceptably. The wise housewife these days does not, un­ less obliged by decora­ tors or painters, tear up the whole house so that there Is no place for the weary man to lay his head or read the evening paper. The housewife of today cleans and set­ tles a room at a time and when his help is not needed the man of the house is not aware that houseclean- ing Is in progress. The household up­ heavals of former days are now ex­ tinct, for which we are thankful'. When possible save the old curtains so that they may be hung each time while the new curtains are being laun­ dered or dry cleaned. It takes but a few moments to hang them and it means much to the attractiveness of the room. Soak paint brushes in kerosene then wash in hot soapsuds and they will become pliable again. A never-failing remedy for a tender skin which might become a,bed sore is to lather it freely with castile soap, letting it dry on. . Soda applied to a burn either from the fire or sun- will relieve the pain. Moisten the soda and continue to add moisture as it dries. Pineapple juice and honey make a fine cough sirup and one which the little people will not refuse. If a fish bone or any sharp sub­ stance is swallowed, swallow the white of an egg immediately; this coats over the sharp edges and pro­ tects the stomach and intestines. A hot raisin with a grain or two of red pepper wrapped in it is good for a toothache or an earache. Put a little lemon or orange juice in the spoon before filling with castor oil. It will go down with less pro­ test. Use popped corn instead of crou­ tons with the tomato soup, thus sav­ ing wheat and’ giving your family a treat at' the same time. A little vinegar put on the hands will soften them when roughened t>y work or wind. T here is good for u s w ho w ill brook no ill.

Bits of left-over flsh may be used In salads, in a white sauce, to serve on toast or put through a sieve, and added to a souffle make a most satisfying dish. Corn Tamale. — Cook together a can of corn, a half can of tomatoes, one cupful of' cornmeal and two ‘ cupfuls of corned' beef. Add one onion, two .well-beaten eggs, and salt and pep­ per to season. Serve with a sauce made from half a can of tomato, a tablespoonful of onion juice, a dash of red pepper and two tablespoonfuls each of butter and flour cooked to­ gether. Beef Scrapple.—Boil two pounds of flank beef until tender, put the meat through the grinder and add to the meat liquor cornmeal to :thicken; cook until thoroughly done; add the meat and seasonings to taste. Pour into a mold and use for frying when, sliced in thick slices, inis will keep some time It kept cool. Braized Liver With String Beans.— Wash a calf’s liver and lard It with bacon. Roll In flour, season with salt, pepper and celery salt. Cook the liver in a saucepan with a little bacon fat. When well seared over add five slices of carrot, one-half an onion, two sprigs of parsley, a bit of bay leaf, one clove, two pepper corns, and two cupfuls of brown stock or water. Cover closely and bake In mod­ erate oven two and a half hours, bast­ ing five times during the cooking. Add two tablespoonfuls of orange juice; pour over the liver and serve sur­ rounded with hot seasoned string beans. • Steak. With Banana.—Broil or pan broil a steak; cut In. halves four ba­ nanas and lay them In the pan; sprin­ kle lWith blts of butter and serve, when well heated through, with the steak. Buy occasionally'a bottle of good sauce;., the collection will last for years, and dishes will be made more appetizing by a pinch of curry or a teaspoonful of mushroom catchup. The cost will not be noticed If they are not purchased at once; ■ SERVING BEEF HEARTS. The price of beef hearts varies in different sections and it is never safe to say that certain kinds of meat are low in price. In heart there Is little waste, and-when the cost is reasonable it makes fairly economical dish. If the heart is to be cooked whole it should be care­ fully washed to remove all blood, then the in­ edible portion and the arteries are removed and it is ready to stuff or cook in any way desired. ‘ When stuffing, cut through the right and left sections so there is but one cavity; to fill. A stuffing of sausage meat, to which an onion or two finely chopped is mixed, makes a. most sav­ ory dish. Sage with a little Onion for flavor is another combination with bread crumbs which is well liked. Egg, butter and salt and pepper are all needed to make a savory stuffing, heart simply stewed until tender then sliced cold makes a good dish. The seasoning should be added, to the sauce while cooking so that the meat will be seasoned all through. Beef heart stuffed and served sliced cold with any desired meat sauce is another way of serving this dish. , • Calf's Heart en Casserole.—Wasli the heart and stuff 'with any desired stuffing. Arrange a half cupful onions and carrots In a casserole, then lay in the heart. Sprinkle with snlt, pepper and paprika; dredge with flour and bake for two hours. Reihove from the dish and make a browc gravy, using four -tablespoonfuls the fat with three of flour, adding two cupfuls of boiling water. Serve with the gravy and vegetable-around the heart. Com, or barley flour - should be used for the thickening. Heart a Ia Francaise.-Take a hall cupful of bread' crumbs, two table­ spoonfuls of finely chopped suet, teaspoonful of minced parsley, some sweet herbs, salt and pepper, and an egg for binding. . Stuff the heart with this and fasten well with a string. Rub the heart over with melted fat and fold In a buttered paper' or a pa­ per bag .used for cooking. Roast foi three and a half hours. Serve gar­ nished with spinach and brown sauce. Tomatoes as a vegetable may accom- pany tbls dish. .' Tempting veal loaf .T is mote tempting for a summer luncheon than Libby’s savory VealLoaf!

The United States Department of agriculture reported in 1916 that the farmer gets for his cattle "approxi­ mately two-third* to three-fourths” of the final retail price paid by the con­ sumer for the resulting beef. Under normal conditions, the farmer’s share of retail prices of various farm products is approximately as follows: Butter 71 per cent CATTLE 66% to 75 per cent Eggs 65 per cent Potatoes 55 per cent Poultry 45 per cent Fruits 35 per cent The difference between farmer’s price and retail price represents the necessary expenses of packing, freight and whole­ sale and retail distribution. Swift & Company not only performs the manufacturing operations of pre­ paring cattle for market in its well- equipped packing plants, but it pays the freight on meat to all parts of the United States, operates 500 branch distributing houses, and in most cases even delivers to the retail butcher. AU this is done at an expense of less than 2 cents per pound, and at a profit of only about % of a cent per pound of beef. Large volume of business and expert management, make possible this indis­ pensable service to the live-stock raiser and to the consumer, and make possible the larger proportion of retail prices received by farmers.

The rote cast in the recent Rep- ubliean primaries in Indiana is especially significant. Ordinarity tbe vote is about evenly divided as between the Bepnblican and Demo­ cratic parties. In Indiana last week the Bepubliean vote every­ where showed a big lead over the Democratic vote. Iu Indianapolis tbe Bepnblican vote was nearly twice that of the Democrats. In recent local elections in Illi nois tbe Democrntic slump was tremendous. Bepublicans carried townships iu southern Illiuois in which they had uever before bee.i iu a majority.—Es. The Doctor Away From Home When Most Needed. People are often very much disappoint­ ed to find that their family physician is away from home when they most need his services. Diseases like pain in the stomach and bowels, colic and Diaraboea require prompt treatment, and have in many instances proven fatal before med icine could be procured or a physician summoned. The right way is to keep at hand a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic and Diarahoe Remedy. No Dbysisian can prescribe a better medicine for these dis­ eases. By having it in the tiouse you es­ cape much pain and suffering and all risk. Buy it now it may save life. Gypsy Smith’s Heart.

Statesville Sentinel “ Hurry! hurry! hurry” , is the message that comes not only from England and France, but from our boys themselves now going over the top to the people at home in America. They all say: “ For God’s sake hurry up,” and wheD we know that we are losing by our delay and indifference we see ther’s a reason for their cry. During tbe week of A pdl 23, .1618, the British casualties totaled . 12,368 killed in action or died of wound: were 595 officers and I 639 men Wounded severely or missed were 2,173 officers and 7,981 men. And rhere’s a reason that comes clover home to us. We have nor more (bail begun to fight, yet our total casual lies, dead, wounde< and missing, are reported to be about 4,000.

The New York State Woman Suf­ frage party, since It finished its great task of carrying New York state for woman suffrage, November 6, 1917, has - devoted itself exclusively to war work and various forms of Civic and patriotic service. We have recently sent the first wo­ man’s hospital unit abroad from the U nited States. Tliis unit is the “War Baby” of the Natibnal Woman Suffrage - Assoeia- Mrs. J. L. Laid law. tion> with ^ c h we are affiliated. We have just held a great naval and military meet at Madison Square Gar­ den, where a large sum was raised for this remarkable unit, which has sailed to do such valuable work In !Trance. Eivery person In it, even to the plumb­ ers and mechanics, are women, and they volunteered for dangerous service. Other branches of our war service have been an intensive food conserva­tion campaign and the War-Savings Stamps campaign. In all this active patriotic work we feel inspired with the thought of our own chairman, Mrs. Norman deR. Whiteho-use, abroad on an important government mission and many others of the rank and file of our women who are engaged in de­ voted service “over there.” CitizenshipfSchooIs. Another interesting branch of our work is the great university extension- of citizenship. Schools are being held throughout the state under our Educa­ tional Committee. Another line of work is that of our Intelligence Committee, .which lists of­ ficials of all political parties and all men In every township and county in the state who have run or are to run for‘office. It is believed this commit­ tee will become extremely intelligent as time goes on, and its intelligence will react on the chric welfare of the state most tellingly.. Our Americanization Committee has issued some very effective and educa­ tional literature and is organizing In every center and community where there are foreign groups. Maintaining Morale. We realize that a great part of a na­ tion’s war time, efficieicy is in keeping life normal and efficient at home: In the last analysis that nation: which keeps most nearly steady and normal In its industrial and domestic ttfe will maintain that morale which WtUl win the wat for It Tlie work of the Rural Problems Committee perhaps is of particular in­ terest in this publication which is be­ ing sent out by the National Security League. Yery few people In the ooun-. try have stopped to realize how In our body politic the rural committees iare discriminated against In the matter of socializing forces. Our great cities have their amusements, their munici­pal halls and baths, their contmuntty kitchens, their public libraries amd lec­ ture courses and innumerable settle­ ments and clubs where people are drawn together and stimulated men­tally and spiritually.

NORTH CAROLINA;-WEDNESDAY. JUNE 12. 1918.NUMBER48 Letter From Pennsylvania. Editor Davie Record:—Havfog ie:uined from' a visit from your part of the good old State of Kortb Carolina. I feel at this time that it is my duty to let your readers know just how much Ivras impressed by the patriotism of my home people and how faithfully they are doing their duty and bit to make tbiB country a sale place to live in, and for your children and my children, and for our fathers, mothers, sisters and brothers, what I was impressed most by, was the wonderful work that is being done by the Red Gross, I must confess that it made me weep for joy. As I passed thous­ ands of homes and saw the emblem OfiheRedGross hanging, in the windows showing that they were members of this great legion ot meiey. Souie of us .do not know much about what the Red Gross is doing and from iu Europe, i ut we do know some- thiug about what they are doing over here, but I know from my own eyes that if the war were to stop tomorrow, before a single ban­ dage had been unrolled, or a single drop ul anesthetic poured out lor our boys, the Red Gross campaign would have been worth 'a million times this cost to the life and Iu ture ot the United States. I have come to understand, I think, how it is that those fellows .over there have lost all fear ot death. Having made the great decision, having determined in their own minds to give their very lives il neeesBary. .They have al ieady died'ftud been";.born again, henceforth what ws call death be omes to them merely incidental,.] they have already ‘lost their lives and found them!’ They are like Enoch, of whom I heard a few Sundays ago, who . ‘walked with God, and was not for the Lord took him,’ he did no! die, God, with whom be walked simply transferred him from one uuseilish life to a life a bit more unselfish. It comes to me that al­ ter all it iB in that that lies the whole spirit of war, that war, at ter all, is comprised in the word ‘ giving.” some of us Will give, our lives, this many has done; how many we of America can only vaguely try to realize. Man can see ODly a fair circle of the world’s surface. Theu multiply that beyond your greatest conception. And then you will have found how feeble are your attempts to gra-p the whoie. The dower ol Eugland’s manhood! The IineBt jouth of France are but a memory! they have given, some Bhall give their happiness, aDd this has al ready been given by yet more mill­ ions upon all the lands at war They wear mourning no more in England, human reason could not stand ieminding of a nation’s . sor- row. In Gapada we see working . in war activities y.oung girls, ten­ der, softly-uurl ured of ' soul and mind and body—girls who Bhould now be living to- the full the joys of love and home and'motherhood, it is their eyes that tell you how far from them those joys will ever be upoD this tortured world. Little boys and girls that shall uivcr agaiu know a father’s love, his tender, gentle, care! they too have giveu. Eut even more magnificent than the volume ol the giving, is the spirit of it. If a man or woihan gives a thousand dollars-.what.does i siguify, which dollar of that thousand lists him as a . member? As long as the whole nation be­ longs to the Red Cross in spirit, ' what matter it how - many names are written down on papdr? The old father or' mother who. has scrimped and sacrificed to save so many men are going which so few return. They gave the littie hit of money that was to them so much, they gave np their good-by to their boy, They gave, what meant to them their dearest thing on earth and turned and went back to their louely home. Just one more thiDg I want to say and that is this, it’s no louger England’s war, or France’s war, or Italy’s. It has come at last to be America’s war. your war and' my war, and the war of those we love, ami you and I and those we love must kill and be killed, must tight and bleed and suffer. There is no end to this war iu sight, no one knows what will come after this war; what chao’s; what disorganization, what revolutions; what sufferings; what cataclysms, social, political, economic, but one thing can we know and that surely, fhat never agaiu will the old world be the calm and gentle peace . that *e knew and dwelt on before Teu ton barbarians with bared laugs leaped upon its kindly throat. We will lose our men in battle that we cannot, boys that we love will be killed on the held of battle, and will be drowned beneath the sickly bellies of the German sub­ marines, that too we cannot help, the living wastage of war will soon begin to return to us in all its gastly horrors. The wounded, the maimed, the crippled, that too. is but the price that we must pay be­ cause in our ignorance and our i'u- uoteuse we allowed a nest of man­ iacs to grow up in our midst to b e. controlled by one sCrofulpnS, haranoiac whbSe wbrd to them-' is law and to us death and dishonor. And that we will help! and' As soon as may be. But meanwhile we can help, we can hejp by giving to the Red Gross, buying Liberty Bonds, thrit and Wat Savings Stomps, etc. We can give of our lives when our lives are needed, we can give of our happiness, we can give of our comforts and our luxuries, we can give of our love our devotion, we can give of our service,, and we can give of our money, would, yon con sider the saving of a fe v pieces of shining metal; a few strips of crisp, paper: If the saving thereof meant the dishonor of yonr daugh­ ter, the murder of your mother, the slaughter of your brother, the shooting of jour father against a wall? And yet it may well mean these thingB any or dll. Money is good only because there’stands be­ hind it a nation great enough, and honorable enough to roake it good. If that nation falls, then its money becomes as the pebbles on the shore, what will it avail a man if he saves his mouyand sacrifices his country? For his country gone, then will his protection be gone, so that not only will he lose hisj money, but he wiU lose as well his life and the lives of those heloveB. Think this over, men and women • f Davie county Korfh Carolina, men and women of America, and c irefully, anil then remember that it is we who stand in the breach, with shining sword drawn, to Ae- f md the children of civilization against the trait of barbarism, and then ask whether it shall ever be said that we. ol America, shall fail those countless gallant men who, for liberty, for humanity, and for democracy, have laid down their lives and poured out their blood upon a thousand utiles of sunlit, smiling • land.

You must work or fight, so take your choice. .“W.S.S.” A latin and Greek scholar is sorely needed in our midst. “W. S. S.” Sometimesit makes one sick to hear that the devil is ill. Ask any country editor. “W. S. S.” Is it true that some of the folks who once wanted the county books audited are not so anxious that the job be completed? . “TV. S. S.” When it comes to growing wheat there is not a county in the State that can excel old Davie. Would that some of the farmers in the ad­ joining eounties could' have visileii some of our big fields last week. “W. S. S> We read a few da} s ago where two . or three men had knocked down a prominent (?) editor. We asked two of the accused if the statement was true ana they denied the charge. Gosh, how the mighty have fallen? “W. S. S.” Those of oiir fellowmen who said they were ready and willing to pick up their guns and march frontward when the Germans came, over here, are possibly on- their way now, as the enemy arrived on this side two weeks ago. • *W. S. S.” We do not propose to lie and make misrepresentations to increase our circulation or advertising, and we do not propose to beg a man to stop taking another: county paper and take ours. We have been in the newspaper game for more than quarter of a century, but we would rather quit than to disgrace the pro­ fession by stooping to such methods “W. S. S.” Editor Frank Stroud of the ’ Mocks ville Record, brought four Davie county farmers to Catawba yester day to give them a view of the R. L Shuford dairy . farms. Naturallv they came on to Hickory, paid a visit to the creamery and stopped in for a handshake with the Record folks. The Record thinks a lot of Davie county people and is always glad for them to. came here.—Hickory Daily Record. “W. S. S.” Uncle Sam’s boys are not afraid of the Germans. Reports from the fighting lines say that our boys do not know what the word retreat means.' They know all about ad vanning, and they make that a spec­ ialty. Germany is going to get ' sound flogging, and the American troops are the ones who are going Io do the work “W. S. S.” The Record’s circulation, is grow­ ing daily. As evidence of this fact we will state that within the pasi month about fifty new names have been added to our boohs at Coolee inee alone.

The editor of The Record together, with Messrs. W. K, Clement, John H. Swing, W. Ernest Boyles and T. M. Hendricks, left Mocksville early Thursday morning on a motoring trip to Catawba county to visit the dairy farms near Hickory. The first stop was made at Newton, where we spent a few minutes with Editor G. H. Mebane, of the Catawba County News. The next stop was at Oak wood Farm, which is six miles from Newton, and is owned by R. L. Shu- ford. This is one of the finest dairy farm:- in the South, and is located on the bouth Fork River, and con­ tains more than 500 acres of fine farming and pasture lands. On this farm is the finest herd of registered Jersey cattle to be found anywhere. Mr. Shuford has about 100 acres in corn—the finest we have seen this year, two large fields being waist high. On this farm is an ice factory and also an. ice cream plant. Mr Shuford is shipping about 1.500 gal Ions of ice cream.weekly, and is milk ing 45 cows. If you don’t think the cream is rich, just ask Col. Clement. Mr. Shuford’s best cow has a record of 40 pounds of milk per day and 19 pounds of butter per week. His pasture contains more than 100 acres most of it being Bermuda grass. A number of acres is used to grow al falfa. This farm has all modern conveniences, such as water, lights, etc.. and no finer country home is to be found in this section. Mr. Shu ford is also in the hog business, and has a bunch of fine Berkshirfcs. His total receipts from his farm and dairy last year was $45,000. We cannot, in this short article, do jus tice to OaJcwood Farm, but we are sorry that we couldn’t carry more of our Davie farmers to see this up to-date farm. We made a short stop at the Dutch Dairy Farms, about five miles south of Hickory. These forms are owned by the Lutz brothers, who are up-to- date farmers in every respect. They have fine herds of Jersey cattle and are making a success in life. Our time was limited, and we did rot see all their cattle and barns, Our next stop was at Hickory, the iivesttownin Western North Caro lina, which, since 1890, has grown from a straggling country village into a hustling town of nearly 8,000 people. Hereis to be found the Piedmont Wagon Co., the largest wagon factory in the Southi which makes a complete two-horse wagon every ten minutes; four cotton mills; the largest wooden box factory that section; .two large furniture factories, chair factory, three knit­ ting mills, overall factories, three building material factories, railroad car shops, finest bank building the State, and many other diversi fied industries.

SOME PLEAD NOT The armies of Crown Prince Rup- preclit of Bavaria again are hitting the allied Hne in a new offensive with Paris apparently their objective. Between JIontdidier and Noyou over a front of. about 20 miles pre­ ceded as usual by a heavy bombard­ ment with shells of all calibers and Witu noxious gases, the enemy’s ini­ tial maneuver evidently has in view the bending back of the al..ea front toward the town of St. Just on the northern wing and toward the rail­ road junction of Compeigne on the southern flank, getting astride of Oise river ad driving southwest to­ ward the French capital. The French troops are resisting the impact with their usual valor, but the Cermans on their right and in the center have been able to penetrate the line for distances ranging from two-thirds of a mile south of Jlont- didier to relatively- two and a half miles at Ressons-Sur-Jlatz, in the center. Thence to Noyon, however, the allied line is holding strongly. If success should rest with the en­ emy on the new battle front, it pos­ sibly might badly affect the stability of the line of the defenders from the Oiae to the Jlarne and compel a fall­ing back westward from the Oi3e to the region of the JIarne northwest of Chateau Thierry in order to straighten out the deep salient that would then project eastward with the Soissons sector as its apex. The allied commanders, it is as­ serted, were not taken unawares by the new offensive. On the other iiand they had anticipated, since the tail- nre of the army of the German crown prince to gain its objectives between Soissons and the JIarne and thence on the southern part of the line run­ ning to Rheims that "the German high command would decree another ma­ neuver to the north and preparations accordingly were made to withstand the shock The EgLilng is of extreme-.y san­ guinary ctaiacter, and woe tier it will be confined to the area at present af­ fected remains to be seen. At last ac­ counts it had not spread north of Jiontdidier. RESPONSIBLE FOR CHANGE ON ONE OF THE MOST IMPOR­ TANT SECTORS. ' H O C H A N B E ” U.S. CASUALTIES IN FRANCE THUS FAR TOTAL 7,315 Washington.—Casualties among the’ American erpeditionary forces thus far reported by General Pershing total 7,315, the war department announced in making public the first of regular weekly summaries of casualties. Deaths In action and from wounds, diseases, accidents and all other causes number 2,927, while 4,046 men have been wounded and 342, are miss­ ing in action, including men held pris­ oners in Germany.

New York.—Five American citizens and two subjects of the German em­ pire, one of them a woman, are named as fellow-conspirators in two indict­ ments returned by a federal grand Jury here. Investigators declared their operations the most sensational under­ taken by German intelligence agents since the war began. The indictments allege conspiracy to commit treason and conspiracy to commit espionage. The assembling and transmission of information rela­ tive to America’s prosecution- of the war; the destruction of American piers docks and troop transports with fire bombs, destruction of quicksil­ ver mines in this country to hamper the manufacture of munitions ; as­ sisting Germany In taking an armed expedition in Ireland; fomentation of a revolt against British rule in .Ire­ land, raising of funds in this country with which to finance these opera­ tions, and destruction of munitions factories and mines in Great Britain are charged as ramifications of the in­ trigue. The wording of the indictments com­ prising 30 pages, intimates that the conspiracy may be of even broader scope. This is suggested by a para­ graph in the treason indictment which alleges that in July last year, one of the defendants sent a cablegram to Olten, Switzerland. “Madame" do. Vietorica, Rodiger, Robinson, Fricke and Kipper pleaded “not guilty” to both indictments be­ fore Judge Augustus N. Hand and were remanded to the Tombs to await trial today. O’Leary, now wanted on three charges, and Ryan have not been ap­ prehended. The treason conspiracy indictment charges that “Madame” de Victories and Rodiger, “from April 6,. 1917, to the date of the presentation and filing of this IndictmenL were enemies of the United States and spies for and secret representatives, secret agents and secret employes of said imperial German government” and still are. After naming Ryan, O’Leary, Rob­ inson, Fricke, Kipper, Binder and Schweitzer as citizens owing allegi­ ance to the United States, the indict­ ment charges that they “and divers other persons within and without the United States” whose names are un­ known, conspired to commit treason, in that they “would, knowingly and wilfully adhere and give aid and com­ fort” to* the German government, and to Madame de Vietorica and Rodiger by sending to the German government communications “connected with and in prosecution of the war,” receiving from German officials communications “connected with and in promotion of the war” and by furnishing money and credits to Rodiger and de Vietorica; by concealing the presence and activi­ ties of the two alleged from American authorities and by furnishing messen­ gers to the two suspects. Germans Compelled to Reinforce Front—May Attack Other Amer­ ican Sectors. SLACKERS AND DESERTERS HIDING IN ALABAMA Although the latest German official communication announces that the situation on the battle front is un­ changed, there ha3 -been a change on one of the most important sectors in Picardy.’ And American marines were responsible for it. Attacking on a front of about two and one-half miles in a fight that be­ gan Thursday with the break of dawn, the marines in four hours drove back the enemy over a distance of virtually two and one-quarter miles and occu­ pied all the impoixant high ground north-west of Chateau Thierry, which village In a previous fight the Ameri­ can machine gunners had turned into shambles by the accuracy of their aim as the Germans tried to wrest a bridge from them. After a breathing space, the Ameri­ cans late in the afternoon returned to thefray and at last accounts hard fighting was in progress for this Im­portant sector, which commands the Marne at. that part of the front where the. battle line swings eastward toward Rheims. The marines took 100 Ger­ mans prisoner In the early encounter, while the French troops on their left also gained an advantage over the en­ emy and made 160 of his men cap­ tives. So hard pressed have the Germans been by the attacks of the Americans in the Chateau Thierry sector during the last few days that they have been compelled ■ strongly to reinforce their fronL using three divisions of picked troops in an attempt to hold back the men from overseas. Thus far, how­ ever, their efforts have been unavail­ ing. The Americans could not be denied theiT objectives. To the northwest around Veuily-La- Poterie, where recently the Americans have dealt the German several savage blows, and captured portions of the terrain they were occupying the en­ emy now seems fearful of-another on­ slaught and is deluging the region with shells.

DEALERS AND CONSUMERS CLAMOR FOR SUPPLIES ” Washington. — Curtailment of the production of less essential articles baa greatly stimulated the demand for them. The monthly business condi­ tions report of the federal reserve board, says retail dealers and consum­ ers clamor Io rsupplies before they are exhausted and place abnormally large orders, which manufacturers are unable to fill. This has been true of tbs demand for pianos, talking ma­ chines and other musical instruments. JAPANESE SHIP STRIKES ' ON LEDGE IN DENSE FOG •. ' - ■ - - A Pacific Port.—Striking on a ledge it a dense fog off the North Pacific coast the Japanese freighter Aikoku Mam, said to be the first Japanese ’easel taken over by the United States shipping board, is in a preca­ rious condition and may slip off to deep 1Tater at high tide, according, to a brassage received by merchants’ ex­ change. The vessel which recently ar- rived here with cargo tor the Orient ^as turned over to-the shipping board. An Atlantic Port—The story of a transport’s race up the Atlantic coast, closely hugging the coast, with dark­ ened lights at night and under a full pressure of steam in order to elude German U-boats, at least two of whom gave chase, were told -by men on shore leave here: Members of the crew declared that they were warned In ample time by wireless of the nearness of the sea wolves and were advised to keep in close to the coast and to make all possible speed to this port. They ask­ ed in return that the ship be me.t at once by American destroyers. MOVE TO REDUCE COST OF FOOD TO CONSUMER Washington.—A country-wide move to reduce the cost of food to the con­ sumer and standardize methods, of compelling the observance by dealers of “fair price lists” was ordered by Food Administrator Hoover. Lists will be published in every county, town and city and consumers will be asked to co-operate with offi­ cials In forcing merchants to bring their prices to a uniform IeveL LLOYD GEORGE PRAISES VALOR OF AMERICANS London. — Premier David LIbyd George, in replying to a toast to the success of the entente allied arms at the dinner to the Printers’ Society of London, said that Britishers have made sacrifices fair a great purpose and & high ideal. One of the most en­ couraging things, the premier contin. ued, was the “superb valor and the trained skill with which the Ameri; cans have taken theii part in the struggle. Washington.—American troops in training at home are being especially schooled now fn. preparation for the forward move of the allied armies ex­pected to follow the ultimate crushing of Germany’s offensive power. It was learned that orders have been issued to division commanders to lay greater stress upon training for open warfare, and reduce the time devoted to teach­ ing trench specialties. The men are being hardened to long marches, given target practice without end and thor­ oughly trained to take care of them­ selves is- the give and take of open combat. Military observers say this change in the midst of the greatest ef­ fort of the German general staff of the entire war speaks significantly of the spirit of confidence that pervades the councils and armies of the Amer­ icans and tbe allies. Washington.—While a million young Americans just turned 21 were regis­ tering for service in' the war for world freedom, orders went out from tho office of Provost Marshal General Crowder to the governors of all States except Arizona, for the mobilization between June 24 and 28' of 200,000 more registrants. This was In addi­ tion to .40,000 negro men requisitioned from 29 States and brings the total number of selective service men call­ ed to the colors to 1,596,704 and when they are in camp the nation’s army will number well over 2,000,000 men. The registration apparently Was at­ tended by the perfect order that mark­ ed the enrolling a year ago of 10,000,- 000 men who form the great reservoir upon which the nation is drawing to furnish the balance of power on the western front to crush the German r/ar machine. The men who appeared before the (.500 local boards over the country rave become of age since the first registration day, June 5, 1917. Mili­ tary authorities estimate that from their number there will be had 750,000 men fit for active dutty.While an act of Congress requires that the new registrants be placed at the bottom of the class to which they are assigned, many of them may soon be called to the colors, as the recent requisition upon governors probably will exhaust the first class in some States. - While no formal explanation was made, this was believed to have been the reason why Arizona was not included in the last call. Results of the second registration will not be known for several days. General Crowder has requested the adjutant general of eah State to tele- jraph him a comprehensive summary of the result, giving the total registra­ tion the proportion to the number that had been expected to enrol, rea­ sons obtained for any difference be­ tween the figures, and the nature of any untoward occurrence attending the registration.Registration days for men hereafter becoming 21 years of age probably will be fixed every three months. It is estimated that 1,000,000 men be­ come of age yearly and the new regis­ trants are expected to go far toward keeping up the .first . class in each State from which thus far all men for national army have been drawn. EIGHT BILLIONS BY TAXATION PLAN OF SECRETARY M’ADOO Washington. — Secretary McAdoo recommended in a letter to Chairman Kitchin, of the house ways and means committee, that the new revenue bill be drafted to raise $8,000,000,000 by taxation; one-third of the estimated $24,000,000,000 expenditures in'the fis­ cal year 1919. He also recommended that a new war profits tax be estab ed at a high rate to be superimposed upon existing excess jprofits taxes; that the normal income tax on unearn­ ed incomes.be raised; and that heavy taxation be imposed on luxuries. BRITISH SHIP SUNK BY GERMAN U-BOAT. Washington.—Sinking of the British steamship Harpathiaa- 100 miles ' off the Virginia capes was announced at the navy department'. The entire crew was rescued by the steamer Pal­mer, which arrived In Chesapeake bay. The submarine used a torpedo. One member of the" Briitsh crew was in­jured. The Harpathian was a freight­ er of 2,800 net tons. Only meager de­ tails had reached the department at last report.' ' ' SUBMARINE EFFORTS FUTILE SAYS FOOI9 SECRETARY. Washington.—Organization of “de. velopment battalions’' at every na­ tional army, national guard and regu­ lar army camp was ordered by the war department. These new units are designated to take over all men not immeditely fit for service, with a view to giving -them intensive train- mg to overcome their faults, mental or physical, or to eliminate such as are unfit for either .combatant or non combatant "service. Full Confidence In Outcome of War Again Expressed by the Supreme War Council. OVER THE LAND OF THE LONGLEAF PINE SHORT NOTES OF INTEREST TO CAROLINIANS. From drives on wide fronts the Ger­ man offensive in France has deterior­ ated into isolated attacks along the area between Soissoms and Chateau- Thierry and eastward on the Marne in the general direction of Rheims. Although in these attacks the ene­ my still is using large effectives and great numbers of guns, he is being held almost everywhere from further progress and on various sectors com­ pelled to assume the defensive against vicious blows delivered by the Ameri­ can, French and British troops. The Americans on the sectors where they are alone or brigaded with allied troops everywhere are fighting with a spirit of abandon that places them rightly In the category of veterans. Near the Neuilly wood, which lies northwest of Chateau-Thiercy and at the point where the drive has brought the enemy nearest Paris, the Ameri­ cans have beaten off a strong German attack and on the Marne at Jaul- gonne, some six miles northeast of Chateau-Thierry1 fighting shoulder to shoulder with the French, they have aided in forcing the first contingent of the enemy to cross the.Marne again to seek refuge on the northern bank of the stream: In this last engage­ ment the Germans suffered severe casualties and- also toft 100 men pris­ oner in the hands of the defenders of the line. Between the Aisne and Ourcq rivers the Germans have captured Pernant, and to the south of that village the French have ceded a little territain. In the Ourcq valley they also took the town of NeuiUy-La-Pote rie (Veuilly- La-Poterie?) seven and one-half miles northwest of Chateau-Thierry, in fight­ ing during which the place changed hands several times. In the region be­ tween the-Oise and;jthe. Aisne the Ger­ mane have been unable to advance anywhere. The losses of the Germans near Pernant were extremely heavy, owing to the stubborn defense of the French. Full confidence in the outcome of the war again has been expressed by the supreme war council of the allies which has just gone over the entire situation resulting from the big Ger­ man offensive, although it was stated that' the Ulied nations “may be still exposed to critical days.” PRUSSIA HAVING SOUGHT WAR MUST HAVE ENOUGH OF IT New York.—Suggestions of peace based on a “perpetuation of PrussIan- ism,” and criticisms of the government and the conduct of the war “which are not constructive" were condemned by Secretary of State Lansing here. Prus­ sia having “wickedly sought war,” the secretary said, it is the determination of the American- people that “Prussia shall have war and more war and more war. until the very thought of war is abhorrent to the Prussian mind.” DEATH CLAIMSCHARLES W. FAIRBANKS. GERMAN U-BOATS STILL OPERATING NEAR COAST Indianapolis, Ind.—Charles Warren Fairbanks, former vico-president of the United States and former United States senator from Indiana, died here at his home. Death was due to interstitial neph­ ritis which has been.a chronic ailment with him hut not regarded as particu­ larly serious until recently. AU mem­ bers of the former vice president’s •family, except Major Richard Fair­ banks. who is in France, were at his bedside. New York.—Two pore vessels, a Norwegian steamship and one schoon­ er, were added to the list of ships known to have been sunk by the Ger­ man submarines which are raiding In American waters. The total now stands at 13—five steamers and eight schooners. The fact which stood ou most prominently in the day’s develop ments is that the U-boats are still op- eiating near the coast and have not returned to their bases,-assuming that the two which already have been iden­ tified are the only ones on this siae of the Atlantic.V FRENCH PRESS PRAISES U. S. TROOPS ACTIVITIES Paris.—The appearance of Ameri­ can troops In the great battle is feat­ ured in all the Paris papers, which emphasize the significance of this. The Petit Journal says: "The new exploit after Cantigny. is new proof of the valor and magnificent ardor with which our allies are animated. It is with grateful emotion that France records these first exploits—full ol promise for the future.” NINETY PER CENT OF WOUNDED WILL RECOVER Paris.—Ninety out of every lot American soldiers wounded in the Cantignay battle will recover. This if -.he judgment of the principal sur geons in the American army medica’ corps, which is caring for them. The wounded' were.brought away from the Aghting line without delay when the Aattle was at its bitterest. Wounded '.lave been brought to American hos- -iitals in the neighborhood of Paris- '-.oth from Cantigray and VeuiUy woe: : .. 58 PERSONS DEAD OR MISSING FROM U-BOAT VICTIMS New York.—The toll of dead and missing from the raid of German sub­ marines against shipping off the Amer­ ican, coast apparently stands at 58, all from the steamship Carolina of the New York and Porto Rico line. Sixteen of this number aree known to have perished, when one of the ship’s boats capsized in a stotrm after the vessel had been sunk. The fate of the others is not known, but it is hoped they have, been picked up by a passing ship and-wUl yet reach shore safely. ORDER RAISING FREIGHT RATES TO BE MODIFIED Washington.—Steps looking to mod­ ification of the order raising freight rates '25 per cent so as to provide for retention of differentials and to re­ move provision discriminating against certain business interests or localities, were taken by the railroad adminis­ tration. Many changes may be made before June 25 when the higher rates are to become effective. They will not ,however, affect materiaUy the amount of the increase. TELEGRAPH OPERATORS TO GO ON STRIKE Washington.—Only intervention by the federal government can prevent a general strike of operators employed by the Western Union and Postal Tel­ egraph Companies, S. J. Keneucamp, president of the telegraphers’ union, said before leaving for Chicago. Upon his arrival he planned to mail out th<- call for a walk out as a result of i.ho refusal of the company to submit it the jurisdiction, of the national wai labor board. Lumbertoa.- -J. E. Stub 13, of St.:, Pauls, was bound over to the federal' court by United States Commissioner B M. Johnson on the charge of mak­ ing seditious remarks. His bond was fixed at $500, which he made. Wilmington.—Preparations are be- ing made in Wilmington for a big pa­ triotic celebration here July 4 in which- all the foreign born citizens, and-the sons and daughters of foreign-born citizens will give a demonstration of their loyalty to the United States and its cause. Albemarle—At last active work Iiaa been commenced on the improvement of the Albemarle-Badin highway. The convicts for north and south Albe­ marle townships have been placed on this highway which, on account of heavy traffic has deteriorated consid­ erably during the past 12 months. Greensobor.—Notice is hereby given that the Board of County Commission­ ers of Guilford county for the Whit- sett special tax school district will receive sealed bids or proposals for the sale of $10,000 public school bonds at the rooms of said board on Mon­ day, July 8, 1918, at 11 o’clock a. m. Raleigh.—Twenty-odd counties de­ laying their election returns leave the state board of elections without the means for proceeding and unless there are immediate responses to the press­ ing wires sent out, the results in va­ rious district sand counties cannot be announced. Winston-Salem.—Emery and Eleand Teague, two'young men who reside in the southwestern part of the county, were before United States Commis­ sioner Beckerdit charged with inter­ fering with the prosecution of the war through seditious statements. One of the defendants is about 20 years old and the other is some older. Gastoni-.—A deal was consummat­ ed recently whereby A. E. Woltz, Lu- cio Lloyd and associates sold the Lloyd Cotton Mills nera here to T. M. McEntire of Gastonia, R. M. Brannoni representing Turner Halsey & Co. of New York, and W. F. Stroud of Chapel Hill. The consideration is given as$60,000. ' •••'■ 'U S---U . Wilson.—The Red Cross society has taken proper steps to keep the peo­ ple of Wilson county correctly inform­ ed as to those killed or wounded while in action in the conflict overseas. The first bulletin was placed in a glass fronL waterproof case attached to the flagpole on the courthouse green sev­ eral days ago. It announces tbe death of Lieut.' R. B. Anderson, killed in bat­ tle May 29. , Washington--Isidore B. Dockweiler, Democratic national committeeman from California, has a son at Camp Greene, Charlotte, N. C. The son is Thomas A. J. Dockweiler, first lieu­ tenant. “That is a fine place down there,” said Mr. Dockweiler recently. “If they will just give Colonel Miller a free hand there he will make a model camp of it. Gastonia.—At its monthly meeting the board of county commissioners decided to build an addition to the county hohme near Dallas, for the purpose of taking care of the feeble­ minded of the county, who are not in such condition as to admit them to the state insane asylum, and who are still a menace to the county if aUow- ed to be at liberty. Also to take care of tubercular and pellagrous patients who become charges on the county. Charlotte.—North Carolina was ask­ ed to increase its production of pork 10 per cent of what it was last year, which meant a total increase in the number of hogs of about 120,000, but so far the state has failed, according to a totter written to County Agent Miller by J. E. Moses, agent in charge of the state pig clubs and swine ex­ tension. Washington.—It was announced by the shipping board that tbe construc­ tion of the concrete shipyard at Wil mington is already under way. Raleighj—1The latest country-wide figures on fire losses, in comparison, with losses within states gives North. Carolina a loss of $56,444 due to- matches, one of the greatest of all the causes of fires in this country, and shows that North Carolina losses, had the state, lost her general average compared with other states, would have been $92,770. Lumberton.—I. T. Brown was nom­ inated for road commissioner in dis­trict No. 4 over A. E. W.Hkerson, and L. L. McGirt was nominated in dis­ trict No. 3 over J. A. McCormick in the Democrtaic primary. There were no other contests In Robeson. Durham--The city and the Obsen- shain Construction corporation, con- tractors for the building of the long sewer line from the disposal plant north of the city to Neuse river, are •t loggerheads over the terms of the contract , ^ H is a i BATE OF FIRE SYNCHRONIZED WITH REVOLUTIONS OF THE TRACTOR PROPELLER. BASEBALL CAPTURES LONDON American Army and Navy Team* Draw Big Crowds—British Officers in U. S. Give Instruction in Gas Defense. The Browning machine gun has suc­ cessfully undergone a test to deter­ mine its value for use with aircraft. This is one of three types of machine guns with which the rate of fire can be so synchronized with the revolu­ tions of the propeller of a tractor air­ plane that the gun can be fired by the pilot of a combat plane through the revolving blades. Airplane propellers revolve at from 800 to 2,000 revolutions per minute. The machine gun is connected with the airplane engine by a mechanical or hydraulic device, and Impulses from the crank shaft are transmitted to the machine gun. The rate of fire of the machine gun is constant and its fire is synchronized with the revolving pro­ peller blades by “wasting” a certain percentage of the impulses it receives from the airplane engine and by. hav­ ing the remaining impulses trip or pull the trigger so that the gun fires just at the fraction of the second when the propeller blades are clear of the line of fire. The pilot operates the gun by means of a lever which controls the circuit and allows the impulses to trip the trigger. “As the latest wonder of the world Imndon has taken to baseball,” says a committee on public information representative in London. “The Eng­ lish never before had much use for our great game. They called it an ex­ aggerated form of rounders and won­ dered what the noise was ail about, but the American and Canadian sol­ diers in England have been educating them. “A regular league of eight teams has started a summer schedule, and the English public is learning what it has missed. Big crowds witness the game which is played every Saturday, and the sport bids fair to become widely popular. Here is the way Thomas Burke, the sliort-story writer, reports a game in the London Star of May 27. “‘Last week I discovered baseball. The match between the Army and Navy teams was my first glimpse of a pastime that has captivated a conti­ nent, and I can well understand Its ap­ peal to a modern temperament. Be­ lieve me, it’s good goods. And the crowd! I had heard and read much of baseball fans and their method of root­ ing, but my conceptions were nothing near the real thing. The grandstands, crowded with army and navy fans, bristling with megaphones and tossing hats and demoniac faces, would have made a superb subject for a lithograph by Sir Frank Bragwyn. “The game got hold of ine before the first pitched ball. The players In their hybrid costumes and huge gloves, the catcher in his gas mask, and the movements of the teams as they prac­ ticed runs shook me with excitement. Then the game began and the rooting began. In past years I have attended various football matches in mining dis­ tricts where the players came in for a certain amount of ragging, but they were church services compared with the furious abuse and hazing handed to any unfortunate who failed to play ball. . “ ‘There was, for example, an explo­ sive, reverberating “A-h-h-h-h-h” which. I have been practicing in my back yard ever since, but without once catching its true quality. You should have heard Admiral Sims, as college yell leader, when the Navy made a home- run hit, with his “Atta boy; oh, atta- way to play ball,” and when they got an error he sure handed the Navy theirs: “ ‘Yes; Tve got it. From now on I’m a fan. I’m going to see every baseball match played anywhere near London. I shall never be able to watch with ex­ citement a cricket or football match after this; it’d be like a. tortoise race. Gome along with me to the next match and join me in rooting and In killing the umpire.’” In March and April the secretary of agriculture, on recommendation of the office of public roads and rural engi­ neering, approved 212 state road-build­ ing projects Involving more than 2,500 miles of highways under the. federal aid road act. The estimated cost of these improvements to the states is about $15,000,000. The federal aid al­ lowed is more than $5,000,000. Bottlers of soft drinks in the United States may save approximately 50,000 tons of sugar annually by using other sweetening materials, according to in­ vestigations by specialists of the bu­ reau of chemistry, United States de­ partment of agriculture. The bureau of chemistry is preparing to furnish bottlers with sweetening formulas that will allow the. actual sugar content in soft drinks to be cut to 50 per cent or less and at the same'time will preserve the customary taste of the beverages. Starch sugar, starch sirup, maltose sir­ up and honey are the substitutes used. The army ordnance department Iij^ negotiated approximately 12,000 cun' tracts since this country entered the war, involving within $175,000 000 of the total funds directly available for the department for the present fiscil year—$3,3S3,2S6,045. Additional con tracts totaling $1,503,703,741 hat e been "entered into on the authority of con gress pending appropriation of an amount aggregating $1,671,466,130 The magnitude of the task of the ordnance department financially Is cm denced by the disbursement rec< nth in a single day of more than $25,000 uiK) on ordinary contract vouchers Uis bursements for the month of April 1918, ran to $356,SS4,S63, an inteic-ting amount as compared with the $51159- 264 disbursed by the ordnance depait ment in April, 1917. These Oi-Iliuise meats were made at the ordnance of­ fice in Washington. Amounis dis­ bursed at government arsenals ai e not included. One check recently drawn by the ord nance disbursing officer for ordnance material was for $18,750,000. One re­ quisition made recently by this same officer on the treasury was foi 8109- 000,000. This is the largest single lequi sition ever made by any United States disbursing officer.Prior to two months ago, before the ordnance department established its 11 district offices which zoned the country to expedite payments to contractors and relieve the strain upon the main office in Washington, the disbursing officer at Washington signed from 500 to 3,000-checks a day. Because of the instruction of gas of­ ficers who have been at the various camps for the last six months, the troops which are going forward to France are well posted on methods of combating gas attacks, says a state­ ment authorized by the war depart­ ment. A group of British gas officers has been In this country since last summer. One of these men has been at each of the training camps, advising and assisting the division gas officer. AU the men going overseas are sup­ plied with gas helmets. Under the di­ vision gas officers and their assistants, the men are drilled in the use of masks, taught how to detect the pres­ ence of gas, and given actual experi­ ence with different sorts of gases. Mimic gas shells and cloud attacks, used often at night in connection with high explosives, help to make the train­ ing realistic. The United States has been able to build on the experience of the British and French, to whom gas attacks were unknown when they entered the war. No American troops have been sent to the front without practical experience In defending themselves against gas. The training of instructors in gas de­ fense includes a course of about one month. Most of the gas officers are commissioned first lieutenants. One of the interesting developments of the war, according to a statement authorized by the war department, is the rabid expansion of the various bu­ reaus of the war department. At the outbreak of the' war there were less than 3,000 employees on duty. The number now is approximately 25,000, an increase of 800 per cent. While this represents a tremendous expansion, the increase in the army Itself has been more than 1,500 per cent. Only four out of every 100 officers In the service were in the army at the time the war began. The gas defense service is now manu­ facturing about 5,000 horse gas masks per day. These are being sent to France, and it is expected that within a short time every horse connected with the American expeditionary forces will be equipped with the new masks. The gas defense service has a com­ pletely equipped factory for the manu­ facture of the masks. In less than three weeks a building was selected and the. factory was producing masks. The introduction of riveting machinery has done away with the heavy hand sewing of the frame which supports the masks on the faces of the horses. The masks are so constructed that no metal or chemically impregnated parts can chafe the horse. In Bavaria the monthly meat ration has been cut 20 per cent—from 1,000 to 800 grams—according to German newspapers. The monthly meat ration in Saxony has been reduced from 800 to TOO grams. Public officials are re­ ported in the Prussian press as discus­ sing the possibility of a further reduc­ tion of the bread ration InlPrussia. •A Munich paper, reports that from the beginning of "the war to March I, 1918, Bavarian hog stocks have de­ creased from 2,106,312. to 766,391- head. The Danish hog census shows a de­ crease from 1,651,000 hogs July 12, 1917, to 789,000 December 5,1917, or a decrease of one-third the number at the beginning of the war. The restriction on the importation of crude rubber has been followed by re­ strictions on Importation of four com­ modities possessing some of the char­ acteristics of rubber, and capable un­ der some circumstances of being used as substitutes for natural rubber. Acting on a suggetsion of General Pershing an order has been issued in­ creasing each regiment’s band from 28 to 50 members. Bond leaders having had more than five years’ military ex­ perience as hand leaders will be made first lieutenants; those with less than five years’ experience will be made sec­ ond lieutenants. Beside enlarging the bands a bugle and drum corps will be added to each regiment. Each corps will include the company buglers of its regiment, and not more than 13 drummers. % r I I— American Infantrymen in France entraining to take their places at tne fighting front. 2—Survivors of the schooner Edward H.

NEWS REVIEW OF THE M ST WEEK German Submarine Raid in Our Waters Fails to Terrorize American Nation. WAR SPIRIT IS STIMULATED Splendid Work of Yankee Troops In Halting,Hun Drive at the Marne— Enemy's Losses are Appalling —Renewal of Offensive Ie Expected. By EDWARD W. PICKARD. Germany’s utter inability to under­ stand the spirit of the nations that oppose her was never better shown than in the raids made on American shipping in American waters by sub­ marines. Their purpose could only be to terrorize the United States and thus check the flow of men and munitions to France. Their result, if Germany but knew it, could’ only be to inspire the nation to continue the sending of its armies across with uninterrupted speed and In every other way to do what is necessary to win the war. The net loss to America is the sinking of a dozen sailing vessels and two or three steamships; the net gain is a renewed determination to whip the Hun, and a large increase In the number of enlist­ ments for the navy. Germany attempted to terrorize Eng­ land by Zeppelin raids on London, and the Englishmen merely turned out their lights and rushed by thousands to the recruiting offices. She tried to terrorize France by bombarding Paris with the “miracle gun,” and the ■Frenchmen gritted their teeth and swore to fight to the finish. Now she has tried to intimidate the Americans, and again she has failed miserably. In truth, the German, policy of frightful­ ness has been a failure everywhere and from the beginning. Even muti­ lated and ravished Belgium still stands unafraid and steadfast to the cause of decency and righteousness. — I * —The appearance of the submarine or submarines—their number is not known—off the New Jersey coast nat­urally revived the talk of the existence of U-boat bases on the Mexican coast. This fs officially discredited by our navy department, though there is little doubt that Carranza and his crew would so assist Germany' if they could. Their behavior and known pre­ dilections are not such as to delude anyone into belief In their neutrality. However, there was evidence that the raiding submarines had come direct from Germany, and as they have been out some time, they probably will soon return. — t a — New York city indulged itself in a small scare over the chance that it might be bombed by an airplane car­ ried by the U-boats. There was little danger of this, for a plane would take up too much space on the submarine, and moreover after a raid would be compelled to return to the vessel, thus revealing its location to the naval craft that have been swarming the Atlantic coast waters looking for it. The sub­ marine is driven by Diesel engines that, give it a wide radius, and carries guns with which it might shell coast cities. Probably there will be more of these raids In the near future, but they must be accepted as incidents of the great war i.n which we are engaged—really small incidents that can have no in­ fluence on the outcome of the-struggle. Some of them are likely to be directed against our troop transports, but this need cause little alarm because of the perfection of the convoy system. To guard the coast against attacks Secre­tary Baker has asked congress for $16,000,000 for establishing balloon and seaplane stations, thirteen on the At­ lantic and three on the gulf. — t e — • Over In France the kaiser’s third pretentious drive of the year came to a halt, at least for the time being, at the Marne, the Ourcq valley , and the Oise. Early in the week several at­ tempts to cross the Marne were re­ pulsed with severe losses. In these ac­ tions American machine gunners sup­ported by Frendi lnfhntry took a prom­ inent part and won the warm praise of the French and British by their gal­ lantry and valor as well as by their ex­ cellent marksmanship. The Americans were called on to hold a bridge head near Chateau Thierry immediately on their arrival after thirty hours on the road in motortrucks. They took up their positions quickly and slaughtered the Huns who tried to cross. Under cdver of this fire Yankee engineers successfully dynamited the bridges, and the machine gunners have since held the south bank and repulsed all attempts of the Germans to build new bridges. It is reported the Americans killed about 1,000 Germans at the bridge head, having themselves only one man killed and a few wounded. In the Neuilly wood, northwest of Chateau Thierry, the American infan­ try had their chance, and three times' they drove back desperate attacks of the Huns, their rifle fire being deadly. On the third assault they met the Ger­ mans in the open and put them to rout with the bayonet. In what may be called their own sector, In the Luneville region, the •Americans carried out some highly successful Operations. The allies frankly admit that they are counting oh the United States troops to save the day, and1 the tests to which the Yankees have been sub­ mitted show the trust of the British and French is not misplaced. . — t e —Failing to make further progress southward, the Germans turned the main force of their attacks on the western front of their salient, between the Aisne and the Marne. Here they found any advance still more difficult, and indeed at many points they were driven back some distance by the im­ petuous attacks of General Foch’s troops. In that region the dense for­ ests of Villiers-Cotterets and Neuilly offer the best of defensive positions for the allies, enabling them to move and concentrate their forces unseen by the enemy aviators. The allied artillery, too, has been brought up with remark­ able speed and is pouring a devastat­ ing fire into the Germans from well selected positions day and night. Along the line from the Marne northeastward to Reims the allied line was holding strongly, and the ancient cathedral city was still, rather unexpectedly, in the possession of the British. The Germans made no claims to defi­ nite advances during the week, and their losses were growing so appalling that government officials in Berlin felt it necessary to speak of them apolo­ getically, asking the people to consider • the magnitude of the operations and of the stake. Toward the end of the week there were signs that Von Hindenburg was preparing for a renewal of the drive on another part of the line, possibly In the Amiens sector, but the allied military authorities expressed satisfac­ tion with the situation and confidence in their ability to meet any new at­ tacks. —la — The German press was almost a unit last week In its calls for a peace offensive, but the papers and the fac­ tions they represent were as far apart as ever on the question of what Ger­ many should state as her peace aims. The radical press still insists on the no annexation and no indemnity pro­ gram, while the organs of the pan- German party blatantly insist that the central powers are now in a position to make demands and to enforce them, and that though Germany entered the war in 1914 with no predatory pur­ poses, it is now entitled to take what it desires to make up for its losses and to insure its future safety. — t a — There is no longer any pretensions on Germany’s part of treating the Russian provinces as any other than conquered territory, the treaty of Urest-Litovsk being-.now Ignored. Nei­ ther is there any evidence that Ger­ many is getting any benefit from those lands, for the food question is still driving the civilian population to dis­ traction; and in Austria-Hungary the situation is far worse. Greater Russia is actually starving, for the soviet government can pro­ cure no more food from the Ukraine, and In the Euban and Don regions there are counter-revolutionary ,bands that keep things In a turmoil. The counter-revolution plot, the govern­ ment says, spreads throughout the- country and In consequence Moscow has been declared in a state of siege. It is reported the American govern­ ment is contemplating the extending of assistance to Russia in the way of assembling food supplies in Siberia and distributing them In European Russia. In equally parlous state is Turkey, where famine is widespread and many pf the poorest people are subsisting on chestnuts and pumpkin "seeds. In some districts the troops have de­ stroyed the crops though they them­ selves are on mighty short rations. Only the officers are Well fed. With these food conditions, the steady ad­ vance of the British in Palestine and Mesopotamia and the growing strength of the Arab forces, there are evidences of the approaching break up of the Turkish empire. It has got nothing yet for all its efforts except certain oil districts ceded by Russia under com­pulsion, and the possesesion of these is threatened by the northward move­ ments of the British expeditions. — f e — The Italians kept on hitting hard at the Austro-Hungarian forces along the Piave line, and they heard undisturbed of the massing of thirty enemy di­ visions at three points on that front for a resumption of the drive toward the plains. The Italian army is now in better condition than ever before and, with the help of the Americans, British and French, can be relied on to stop the expecfpd offensive. —Ba— The supreme war conference of the allies at Versailles expressed its com­ plete confidence in the ultimate defeat of the central powers and declared the allied people are “resolute not to sac­ rifice a single one of the free nations of the world to the despotism of Ber­ lin.” The premiers of Great Britain, France and Italy agreed on the crea­ tion of n united independent Polish state with free access to the sea as one of the conditions of a just peace, and adhered to the declaration of Secre­ tary Lansing expressing sympathy with the national aspirations of the Czechs and Jugo-Slavs. This means, If it means anything, that Emperor Charles has lost his'last chance to j-etain his empire entire by breaking away from Germany. It foretells the dismember­ ment of Austria-Hungary when peace Is made, if not at an earlier date. Ra­ in the United States the U-boat raid served, to Impress the people with the pressing need of the conservation of wheat and sugar, especially. The former must be sent across the ocean In increasing quantities as our forces there grow rapidly greater; and sugar cannot be bought from Cuba because we must use all available shipping for the transportation of troops and mu­ nitions to Europe. — t e — The fuel administration devoted its energies last week to urging the people to order their-next winter’s supplies of coal at once. There has been wide­ spread complaint that the retailers canot fill orders, but Doctor Garfield says that orders now, whether or not they are filled soon, wilt do much to stimulate production. There is plenty of coal if only it can be got out of the ground and if the railroad admin­istration will find some way of sup­ plying enough cars. The shortage of cars really is at the bottom of -the whole trouble and will be to blame if the predicted coal famine materializes next winter. . —ta— ■The senate’s attempt to stop the manufacture of beer and wine by means of an amendment to the emer­ gency agricultural bill was blocked by the administration last week. Food Ad­ ministrator Hoover opposed it because he believed it would put the nation on a "whisky, brandy and gin” basis with attendant evils far outweighing the small food savings that would result President Wilson had told Senator Sheppard he would not forbid the use of foodstuffs in beer, and wine unless Mr. Hoover- regarded such a step nec­ essary. The senate therefore receded from Its position. — t e — . The week saw the registering of about a million young Americans who have become, twenty-one years , of age since last spring; and this registra­ tion probably will be repeated about once In three months. Provost Mar­ shal General Crowder sent to the gov­ ernors of all the states except Arizona orders for the mobilization of 200,000 more registrants between" June 24 and 28, and 40.00Q negroes' were called from twenty states.

Synopsis.—Fired by the sinking of the Lusitania, with the loss of American lives, Arthur Guy Empey, an American living in Jersey City, goes to England and enlists as a private in the British army. CHAPTER !I. —2— Blighty to Rest Billets. Tlie next morning the captain sent forme and informed me: “Empey, as a recruiting sergeant you are a wash­ out,” and sent me to a training depot After arriving at this place, I was hustled to the quartermaster stores and received an awful shock. The quartermaster sergeant spread a wa­ terproof sheet on the ground and com­ menced throwing a miscellaneous as­ sortment of straps, buckles and other paraphernalia into it I thought he would never stop, but when the pile reached to my knees he paused long enough to say, “Next. No. 5217, ’Arris, B company.” I gazed in bewilderment i et the pile of junk in front of me, and then my eyes wandered around looking for the wagon which was to carry it to barracks. I was rudely brought to earth by the “quarter” exclaiming, “’Ere, you, ’op it; tyke It aw’y; blind my eyes, ’e’s looking for ’is batman to ’elp ’im carry it” Struggling under the load, with fre­ quent pauses for rest, I reached our barracks (large car bams), and my I platoon leader came to the rescue. It was a marvel to me how quickly he assembled the equipment After he bad completed the task, be showed me [ bow to adjust it on my person. Pretty >n I stood before him a proper Tom- Atkins In heavy marching order, I feeling like an overloaded camel. On my feet were heavy-soled boots, I ftudded with hobnails, the toes and heeb of which were re-enforced by steel half-moons. My legs were In­ rased in woolen puttees, olive drab in color, with my trousers overlapping I them at the top. Then a woolen khaki I tunic, under which was a bluish gray I woolen shirt, minus a collar; beneath i shirt a woolen belly band about I sir Inches wide, held in place by tie strings of white tape. On my head was a heavy woolen trench cap, with huge earlaps buttoned over the top. Then the equipment: A canvas belt, with ammunition pockets, and two wide canvas straps like suspenders, called “D” straps, fastened to the belt In front, passing over each shoulder, crossing in the middle of my back, and Bttacbed by buckles to the rear of the I belt On the right side of the belt, L~ ? a water bottle, covered with felt;I on the left side was my bayonet and scabbard, and intrenching tool handle, this handle strapped to the bayonet scabbard. In the rear was my in­trenching tool, carried in a canvas case. I Biis tool was a combination pick and I Sfuda A canvas haversack was I slrapped to the left side of the belt,I vtl,t6 on my back was the pack, also I of canvas, held in place by two canvas straps over the shoulders; suspended I on the bottom * of the pack was my Iniess tin or canteen In a neat little Ittnvas case. My waterproof sheet, I looking like a Jelly roll, was strapped I on top of the pack, with a wooden stick I Jot cleaning the breach of the rifle pro- | Jecting from each end. On a lanyard J Mound my waist hung a huge Jack- j Ij®6 wRh a can-opener attachment. I^Je Pock contained my overcoat, an I etIra Pair of socks, change of under- I 'ear, hold all (containing knife, fork, I spoon, comb, toothbrush, lather brush, I w soaP- and a razor made of tin, Ijjlth “Made in England” stamped on Itkf when trying to shave with I ®ls it made yon wish that yon were I IT.

I raBW ho (ooslvas two gaa hai­ rnets, a sheepskin coat, rubber mack­ intosh, steel helmet, two blankets, tear- shell goggles, a balaclava helmet, gloves and a tin of antifrostbite grease which is excellent for greasing the boots. Add to this the weight of his rations, and can you blame Tommy for growling at a twenty-kilo route march? Having served as sergeant major In the United, States cavalry, I tried to tell the English drill sergeants their business, but It did not work. They immediately put me as batman In their mess. Many a greasy dish of stew was accidentally spilled over them. I would sooner fight than be a waiter, so when the order came through from headquarters calling for a draft of 250 re-enforcements for France, I vol­unteered. Then we went before the M. O. (medical officer) for another physical examination. This was very brief. He asked our names and numbers and said “Fit,” and we went out to fight We were put into troop trains and sent to Southampton, where we de­ trained, and had our trench rifles is­ sued to us. Then in columns of twos we went up the gangplank of a little steamer lying alongside the dock. At the head of the gangplank there was an old sergeant who directed that we line ourselves along both rails of the ship. Then he ordered us to take life belts from the racks overhead and put them on. I have crossed the ocean several times and knew I was hot sea­ sick, but when I buckled on that life belt I had a sensation of sickness. After we got out into the stream all I could think of was that there were a million German submarines with a tor­ pedo on each, across the warhead of which was inscribed my name and ad­dress. After five hours we came alongside a pier and disembarked. I had at­ tained another one of my ambitions. I was “somewhere in France.” Wp slept in the open that night on the side of the road. About six the next morn­ ing we were ordered to entrain. I looked around for the passenger coaches, but all I could see on the sid­ ing were cattle cars. We climbed into these. On the side of each car was a sign reading llHommes 40, Chcveaux 8." When we got inside of the cars, we thought that perhaps the sign painter had reversed the order of things. After 48 hours in these trucks we detrained at Rouen. At this place we went through an intensive training for ten days. The training consisted of the rudi­ ments of trench warfare. Trenches had been dug, with barbed wire en­ tanglements, bombing saps, dugouts, observation posts and machine gun em­ placements. We were given a smat­ tering of trench cooking, sanitation, bomb throwing, reconnoitering, listen­ ing posts, constructing nnd repairing barbed wire, “carrying in” parties, methods used In attack and defense, wiring parties, mass formation, and the procedure for polson-gas attacks. On the tenth day we again met our friends ‘'Hommes 4Q, Cheveaux 8.” Thirty-six hours more of misery, and we arrived at the town of F . After unloading our” rations and equipment, we lined up on the road In columns of fours waiting for the order to march. A dull rumbling could be heard. The son was shining. I.tunied to the man on my left and asked, “What’s the noise, Bill?” He did not know, but his face, was of a pea-green color. Jim, on my right, also did not know, but suggested that I “awsk” the sergeant. Coming towards us was an old griz­ zled sergeant, properly fed up with the war, so I “awsked” him. wThiTilr it’s going to rain, sergeant?” He looked at me in contempt, and grunted, “ ’Ow’s it a-goln’ ter rain with the bloomin’ sun a-shinin’?” I looked guilty.“Them’s the guns up the line, me lad, and you’ll get enough of 'em be­ fore you gets back to Blighty.” . My knees seemed to wilt, and I squeaked out a weak "Oh I” Then we started our march up to the line In ten-kilo treks. After tee first day’s march we arrived at our rest billets. In France they call them rest billets, because while in them Tommy works seven days a week and on the eighth day of the week he is given twenty-four hours “on his own!”; Our billet was a spacious affair, a large bam on the left side of the road, which had one hundred entrances, ninety-nine for shells, rats, wind and vain nnd the hundredth one for Tom­ my, t whs tired oat, tnd aslng mj Shrapnel-proof helmet (shrapnel proof until a piece of shrapnel hits it), or tin hat, for a pillow, lay down In the straw, and' was soon fast asleep. I must have slept about two hours, when I awoke with a prickling sensation all. over me. As I thought, the straw had worked through my uniform. I woke up Jhe fellow lying on my left, who had been up the line before, and asked him: “Does the straw bother you, mate? It’s worked through my uniform and I can’t sleep.” : In a sleepy voice he answered, “That ain’t straw, them’s cooties.” From that time on my friends the “cooties” were constantly with me. “Cooties,” or body lice, are the ban* of Tommy’s existence. The aristocracy of the trenches very seldom call them “cooties,” they speak of them as fleas. To an American flea means a small insect armed with a bayonet, who is wont to jab it into you and'then hop- skip and jump to the next place to be attacked. There is an advantage in having fleas on you instead of “cooties’’ In that In , one of his extended jumps said flea is liable to land on the fel­ low next to you; he has the typical energy and push of the American, while the “cootie” has the bulldog tenacity of the Englishman; he holds on and consolidates or digs in until bis meal is finished. There is no way to get rid of them permanently. No matter how often you bathe, and that is not very often, or how many times you change your, underwear, your friends the “cooties” are always In evidence. The billets are infested with them,' especially so If there is straw on the floor. ‘ I have taken a bath and put oa brand-new underwear; in fact, a com­ plete change of uniform, and then turned in for the night. The next morn­ ing my shirt would be full of them. It is a common sight to see eight or ten soldiers sitting under a'tree with their shirts over their knees engaging In a “shirt hunt.” At night about half an hour before “lights out," you can see the Tommies grouped around a candle, trying, in Its dim light, to rid their underwear of the vermin. A popular and very quick method is to take your shirt and draw­ ers, and run the seams back and for­ ward in the flame from a candle and burn them out. This practice is dan- HtE16HT BATESTO. BE LESS DRASTIC ORDER HAS BEEN CONSIDER­ ABLY MODIFIED FOR NORTH CAROLINA. DISPATCHES FROM RALEIGH Doings and Happenings That Mark the Progress of North Carolina Peo­ ple, Gathered Around the' State Capital.Raieigh. Conferences just held in Washing­ ton and White' Sulphur Springs by members of the North Carolina cor­ poration commission and Railroad Di­ rector. McAdoo and his advisers have brought about modications in the or­ der for the application of the new country-wide 25 per cent an higher increases in freight rates. These increases were about to be precipitated through the feature of the McAdo order, that abrogated spe­ cial intrastate rates, where there were published interstate rates between the same points, most particularly. The modification that the North Carolina commission has secured, is that the 25 per cent freight rate in­crease shall apply to the present intra­ state rates instead of to any published higher interstate rate that may be in existence, although rarely, if ever ap­ plied. As a result the commission as­ sures the North Carolina shipping public that there will he no changes in the rates through the order that will work to the disadvantage of the North Carolina shippers. Chairman E. L. Travis was already in -Washington on other matters of business, and he was joined theer early in the week by Secretary A. J. Maxwell and Rate Clerk *W.' G. Wom- ble, bearing detailed information as to the effect of the McAdoo order on the shipping interests of North Caro­ lina. Strenuous and determined pre­ sentation of these facts and figures brought assurances that the North Carolina rates under the 25 per cent increase order, will he worked out on the basis of the present intrastate, in- ! stead of the higher interstate rates.

Recruits generally sent to Blighty for a brand of insect powder adver­ tised as “Good for body lice.” The ad­ vertisement is quite.right; the powder is good for “cooties;” they simply thrive on it The older men of our battalion were wiser and made scratchers out ol wood. These were rubbed smooth with a bit of stone or sand to prevent splin­ters. They were about eighteen, inches long, and Tommy guarantees that a scratcher of this length will reacb any part of the body which may be at­ tacked. Some of the fellows were lazy and only made their scratchers twelve inches, but many a night when on guard, looking over the top from the fire step of the front-line trench, they would have given a thousand “quid” for the other six inches.Oncewhile we were In rest billets an Irish Hussar regiment camped in an open field opposite our billet. After they had picketed aitd fed their horses, a general shirt hunt took place. The troopers Ignored the call “Dinner up,’’ and kept on with their search for big game. They had a curious method of procedure. They hung their shirts over a hedge and'beat them with their en­ trenching tool handles. I asked one of them why they didn’t pick them off by-hand, and he an­ swered, “We haven’t had a bath for nine weeks or a change' of clabber. If I tried to pick the ‘cooties’ off my shirty I would be here for duration of war.” After taking a close look at his shirt, I agreed with him; It was alive. In the next installment Ser- geant Empey tell of the realiza­ tion of his ambition—his ar­ rival In a first line trench—and of how he wished he were back in Jersey K-ity. (TO B E CONTINUED.) Cheap notoriety In dear at any prir? Page After Meal Profiteers. Millers and dealers who have been taking advantage of the scarcity of flour and tye “combination sale” or­ der of the Food Administration are* likely to have a “run-in” with State Food Administrator Henry A. Page, according to-a statement issued to the trade in the official bulletin of the Food Administration. According to this statement the conservation of wheat has been held back and discour­ aged to a considerable degree by profiteering in corn meal and other cereal substitutes and theh hFood Ad­ ministration is determined to call a halt on such business. State Food .Administrator Henry A. Page, after an investigation of corn prices in North Carolina and with knowledge of the cost of the corn im­ ported into the State, and with due regard to the legitimate margins that may be charged by millers and retail­ ers, announced definitely that hereaf­ ter any price for corn meal to the con­ sumer above five cents a pound will invite investigation, and dealers found to be charging an unreasonable mar­ gin will be disciplined. The only jus­ tification for a price higher than five cents a pound will be high freight rates or unusual cost of handling due to some extraordinary circumstances. This procedure is in line with the new policy of the Food Administration to begin investigations at the con­ sumers’ and retailers’ end instead of with the manufacturers and jobbers. If there is any profiteering on any product anywhere along the line of distribution it will be indicated in the price to the consumer and with a num­ ber of competent inspectors in the field it will be easier and decidedly more effective to begin, investigations of apparent profiteering with the re­ tailer. Tobacco Stemmery for Raleigh. , Responding to President Duncan’s appeal a large crowd of Raleigh busi­ ness men met In the assembly room of the Chamber of Commerce and prac­ tically completed plans for the loca­ tion of a large tobacco stemmery in this city 'by a corporation which will have an annual pay roll of $500,000 at the start. The site of the plant will be the old Raleigh and Southport freight depot, and the location includes five acres of adjoining land which later may be utilized in adding more build­ ings. Auto Owners Liable to Prosecution. Special from Raleigh says: Auto­ mobile owners al over the state will be interested In the fact that the New York court6.have just decided that an o.utomobile owner is liable to his guest for injury sustained through careless operation of machine. Spe- •ial attention of automobile owners in his state to this innovation of the law is being directed by State Insurance Commissioner James R. Young in his statewide campaign for “safety first” In conservation of life and property. Order No Flour Out of State. State Food Administrator Henry A. Page is calling upon wholesaler and retail dealers in North Carolina to send no more orders for flour to mills outside, the State. “Based on the to­ tal supply in the United States for home consumption.” says Mr. Page, "and considering the increased con­ sumption by our people, there is with­ in the borders of North Carolina our share and more of flour. "The larger mills which have been accustomed to ship tremendous quan­ tities of flour into North Carolina are most of them close, to export points and all of them are in position to pack flour for export. Therefore even where merchants in some parts of North Carolina could secure from such mills their flour cheaper than they can from North Carolina mills whifch have flour available, I am going to ask them to take the home flour even at a high­ er price. “I do not pretend to say that there is sufficient flour In North Carolina to supply anything like the normal de­ mand. What I do mean to say is that if we are to supply our Allies with the quantity they must have we'have as much flour in North Carolina as we are entitled to and as such in propor­ tion as the people of any other Staie or section—and we have no right to more.” Commercial Secretaries Adjourn. The passing ot resolutions rededi- cating the members of the association "t othe service of our country, sub­ ordinating all other activities” and pledging their efforts toward meeting all demands and supplying the various needs of the government, an request- imlg “the irectors of national cam­ paigns for war funds to confer with local chambers of commerce before selecting local directors in their com­ munity,” the eletion of Morgan Rich­ ards of Selma, Ala., president, and the selection of Atlanta as the next meeting place constituted the princi­ pal developments at he final session of the convention of Southern Commer­ cial Secretaries’ Association at Char­ lotte. Want Black Walnut Timber. The Agricultural Extension Service is going on a hunt in the State for a supply of black walnut which is one of the most valuable timbers for the manufacture of airplane propellers and gun stocks. Those farmers of the State who have black walnut tim­ ber are urged to write to the Farm Forestry Division of the Extension Service at Raleigh giving the quality, size, and quantity of his timber. The War Department, the Forestry Departments of the Government and all the States, and the Boy Scouts, have all joined efforts to find this black walnut timber. It is much needed, and very valuable in the prosecution of the war. It can no longer he found in abund­ ance, but must be culled, often as sin­ gle trees, from mixed hardwood for­ est growths. Individual trees may be found as far east as Connectitcut, northward in New York, to and be­ yond the Canadian line, southward al­ most to the Gulf of Mexico, and west­ ward far into the Prairie States. The Ohio and Mississippi Valley States, the Middle Atlantic States, and the Southern Appalachian Regian, how­ ever, are expected to furnish the bulk Pure Bred Cattle Associations. In order to have groups of pure bred dairy cattle In certain sections with all the farmers of the section grow­ ing and breeding the same breed of pure bred animals, the agricultural ex­ tension service through its dairy field office is now organizing what is offi­ cially known as "Bull Associations” in several of the leading dairy cattle counties of North Carolina. Four of these associations are now in active operation in Mecklenburg, Rowan, Forsyth and Lincoln counties and another is being organized in Catawba county. These associations which have been formed have a membership, at present, of over 300 progressive farmers. Mr. J. A. Arey, of the dairy field office has active charge of the work, an daccording to his statements, the work is one of the most important phases of the coming development of the dairy industry in North Carolina. Winston-Salem.—A shee praising convention and demonstration will be held in this city July 20 under the aus­ pices of the North Carolia department of agriculture. Tar Heels Eager to Crush The Kaiser. A special from Washington says: Hundreds of North Carolinians are eager to get in the war game to crush the German kaiser and his military autocracy, but do not know how to go about IL Some of them would secure bomb-proof positions, but the major­ ity want to go to the front. It is evi­ dent from those who drift to Washing­ ton to get assistance that it is the battle line most of the Tar Heel boys desire. Thousands would go if it were not for some weakness barring them vfrom the front. Labor Law Governs Manufacturers.. A special from Raleigh says that the federal child labor law is declar­ ed unconstitutional,' the North Caro­ lina manufacturing plants are return­ ing to conformity with the Norh Car­ olina law, the administration of which is largely with the state department of labor and prlning. This department is being flooded with requests for copies of the state law, and Commis­ sioner Shipman is asking .that all. in- 'ere.sted, most of whom have on file ■opies of the last report,'refer to hi? annual report, pages 345-3.46.

FOR WEIK KIDNEYS Have yon ever stopped to reason why it is that so many products that are ex­tensively advertised, all at once drop out of sight and aTe soon forgotten? The reason is plain—the article did not fulfil the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to a "medicine. A medicinal, preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like an endless chain system the remedy is recommended by those who have. been benefited,' to those who are in need of it. A prominent druggist says, "Take for example Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every case it shows excellent' re­sults, as many of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy that I know of has so large a sale.”According to sworn -statements and verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the success of Dr. Kilmers’ Swamp-Root is due to the fact that, so many people claim, it fulfils al­most every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments, corrects ur­inary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism.You may receive a sample bottle of Swamp-Root by Parcel Post.

But did that both­ er him? “I like apples,” he finally said. Still nobody said anything. “Guess I’ll take one,” said Johnnies And he did so. Still nothing was said. “I’ll take one for little Brother Bil­ lie,” continued Johnnie, pocketing a second apple.

Coarse-Flaked Bran Is Most Desirable, Although Ordinary Middlings , or Alfalfa Meal May Be Substitut­ ed—Sow Broadcast (Prepared by the United States Depart­ment of Agriculture.) Poisoned bait has proved to be a simple, reliable and cheap method of destroying grasshoppers: It is made up as follows; Wheat bran, twenty- lAve pounds; paris green or crude ar­ senic, one pound; lemons or oranges, six finely chopped fruits; low-grade molasses, such as refuse from sugar factories, or cattle molasses, known as “black strap,” two quarts; water, two to four gallons. The bran and poison are thoroughly mixed while dry, the I chopped fruits are then .added, and I lastly the molasses and water are I poured over the bait and the whole : thoroughly kneaded. A coarse-flaked I bran is most desirable, although where this cannot be obtained easily ordinary middlings or alfalfa meal may be sub­ stituted. Sirup or Molasses Essential- Low-grade, strong-smelling sirup or molasses is essential to the entire suc­ cess of the undertaking. Crushed ripe tomatoes, watermelons or limes may be substituted for the lemons or or­ anges, if necessary. In California and other semiarid regions water should be added to the bait at the rate of four gallons to twenty-five pounds of bran, as in these climates the bait dries out very rapidly and the extra moisture’is necessary In order to attract the grass­ hoppers. Five to seven pounds of the mixture ShouM be estimated per acre. Another Good Bait. Another effective bait of similar character is the modified Criddle mix­ ture. This is prepared as follows: Fresh horse droppings, one-half bar­ rel; paris green or crude arsenic, 'one pound; finely chopped oranges or lem­ ons, six to eight fruits; water sufficient to make a moist but not sloppy mash; mix thoroughly.

Poisoned baits are distributed over the infested fields by sowing broad­ cast, either on foot or from a light wagon or buggy. In applying the poi­ soned bait In orchards, avoid distrib­ uting it close to the trees because se­vere injury to fruit trees occasionally results from heavy applications of ar- senlcals. Distributing Baits. The time of day chosen for distrib­ uting the poisoned bait is important. In semiarid regions the bait should be distributed In late afternoon or early evening, just before the grasshoppers ascend the plants on which they usual­ ly pass the night. Apparently they are hungry and thirsty at this time and greedily.take the bait if it be avail­able. In the moister portions of the country, such as New Bngland and Florida, the bait is best applied in the early morning.

The conclusion from, the experimentsisthat the pest can be controlled by two thorough applications of arsenate of lead (preferably in bordeaux mixture) made by the “trailer method,” the first Immediately after the falling of the blossoms and the second two weeks la­ ter.

Those who can not provide a plot of ground in the sunshine are advised to coniine their gardening to the few crops that wlll- make a fair growth In partial shade. TOP-WORKING OF PEACH TREE Change of One Variety to Another Maj Be Done by Shield Budding or by Grafting. (Prepared by the United States Depart­ment ot Agriculture.) Sometimes it is desirable to change the top of a peach tree from one va­riety to another. A grower may find after his orchard begins to bear that he has a larger number of trees of some variety than he wants; a block of trees may prove to be some other variety than the one ordered; or, for some other reason, a variety is not well adapted to the needs of toe own­ er. In such cases he may top-work toe tree either by budding or by grafting to a desirable variety. The ordinary method of shield bud­ ding is most commonly used for this purpose. If the tree to be top-worked is not more than two or three years old it is usually practicable to insert the buds directly into toe main limbs well down toward toe point where they leave the trunk. If the tree to be top-budded has reached the age whefi the bark on the main limb has become too thick and firm to be manipulated readily for bud-, ding, it is necessary first to head it back somewhat, as when toe top is to be replaced with new growth o.f toe same variety, and later insert buds on the new branches that develop after toe tree has been deheaded. When this course is followed the buds should be inserted In toe new growth as near toe trunk as'is practicable, In order to have as large a portion of toe top as possible of toe new variety. This is also desirable on account’ of the subsequent management of the tree. Top-working is sometimes done by grafting instead of budding, toe or­ dinary cleft graft being generally used. However, budding is to be pre­ ferred, especially as the wounds made In grafting do not heal readily in the case of toe p'each," though when prop­ erly done the union of stock and scion is generally strong enough to make a fairly serviceable tree. But trouble resulting from difficulties in the healing of toe wound are likely to occur. BELGIAN HARE IS SUPERIOR Weighs More Than. Other Breeds, De­ velops Rapidly apd Quality of Meat Is Excellent.. (Prepared by.-the United States Depart­ment of Agriculture.)' The Belgian hare is one of the best rabbits for table use. It weighs more than most breeds, develops rapidly and the quality of the meat Is superior to all toe others. The Flemish giant is a Belgian hare bred exclusively for large size, with toe result that toe meat is coarser and less delicate In flavor. These characteristics are con­sidered by some persons as desirable, but this is largely a matter of indlvid- ual-taste. ■ ■■ ■ r ~ Nothing in Nuptial Contract Stipu­ lated That Woman Had United Herself to Brass Band. The trifling causes that some people set forth In seeking a divorce came up for discussion at a social gather­ ing, when the following anecdote was related by William A. Smith of Mich­ igan : Some time since a woman entered the office of a lawyer, and on being asked the nature of her business by the legal light declared with a posi­ tive air that she wished to sue for a separation from her husband. “Just a moment,” responded toe law­ yer. "Let’s begin at the beginning., IVhy do you wish n divorce?” “Because my husband snores,” an­ swered the would-be client. “He snores so loudly that I cannot sleep." “That is something, of course,” re­ turned the lawyer, with an inward smile, “but didn’t you take him for better or for worse?” “I surely did,” was the prompt re­ joinder of the other, “but I didn’t "take him for a brass band.”—Philadelphia Evening Telegraph.

In France, May 17th 1918. My Dear Sir:—Herewith please find enclosed my check for one dol­ lar, which credit my account to the Record. I have received a few copies, but not as many as I should have. No doubt they have gone astray on.the way. Was glad tosee Davie so well represented in Yadkin- vijle a few weeks past: that is in the Republican line. I imagine that politics will be a little dull this fall, but nevertheless I feel that you all will take care of the situation at any rate. Well I am getting along fine over in this part of the world. We are having ideal weather at present, but had much rain previous to this We are expecting Miss Alice Joyce at the Y. M. C. A. tonight. I also noticed in today’s paper that many actors from New York will soon be over to amuse the boys a while, We had Miss Elsie Jennis some time ago, and had a good time. Of course we are not prepared to give them as good accomodation as they have back in the States, but we always try and make it as pleasant as possible for them, and they are always gladly re­ ceived and all of the boys .are there to see what will be done. Miss Jennis gave her performance in a large building we use as a round house, and she was brought in to the stage on a'U. S. A. engine, which the crowd went wild over and could not hear anything for five or ten min­ utes. She was the first one to make her appearance, and of course it cre­ ated more excitement on that ac­ count. AU of the fellows are working hard and looking fo'rward for a letter from home, and wondering when the war will end. Although it is not as lonesome here now as it was some time back, as we have built us a “Y ” and have many.more boys here and there is practically something doing every afternoon, or supper, as we have this time for ourselves, which is taken up in various kinds of amuse­ ment, when we have the opportuni­ ty. Speakinc of the "Y '' I do not see how we could do without it, as well as the Red Cross. They are do ing wonderful work, and will always be remembered by thousands of A. E. Force, this is always the first thing thev think of; you can g“.t it at the “Y” or over at the Red Cross; and then too, their representatives are of the very best type and are al­ ways ready and willing to take any matter up with you for adjustment if in their power. For instance I was over at the "Y” last night and one of the ladies had a boy’s laundry that was left by a French woman, and the boy has been trans­ ferred, or at least his company has, and she was using every effort pos­ sible to locate him so he could get the laundry, and many other things which mean so much to any one that are obliged to depend on some one to look out for him some lime, so the consequences were I happened to know where they moved to, so she wrote him in regard to the package. This letter has been written in a rush and not Very much thought, however, I thought I must tell you something about the bovs. I roust close, by asking that you let The Record come on, and paper around them if possible, otherwise they are torn very badly. t Yours' very truly,P.

Mooresville Happenings Always Interest • OurReaders. After reading of so many people in our town who have been cored by Doan’s Kid­ ney Pills, the question naturally arises: "Is this medicine equally successful in our neighboring towns?" The generous statement uf this Mnoresville resident leaves no] room for doubt on this point. R. W. McKey, retired farmer, N. Main St. Mooresville. N.

It was given to us so rough and plain and ugly. I had a coat of plaster put on the walls, painted a bright blue wainscot three feet high with a sten­ cil of flowers of red, white and blue above, white walls and celling, doors and windows outlined with light green, and stencils of bright colors between the windows of trumpets, and over the five doors delicious little paintings by Miss Kirkpatrick and Miss Beckett of soldiers and canteeners In the most clever and attractive way. Brightest Little Room. At the end of the room we have two girls, one American and one French, holding French and American flags. Vfe have red and white oilcloth on the tables, red glass carafes and red tur­ key window curtains, and always flow­ ers on the counters. It is the gayest, brightest little room you ever saw. However, it only holds about 120 men seated at the tables and It is to be used as a recreation room and even movies. Our big room is to have a huge kitchen and seats for 1,000 men or over, and will open right on to the platform. It is to be decorated by an artist from the Beaux'Art, as Miss Beckett has gone and Miss Kirkpat­ rick is too busy. It will really be a splendid big place and we. can work In comfort Instead of being put In straits as we are now In to feed so many men with only six gas burners in a long row. We make the coffee, soup, cocoa, and ragout or sometimes regular Irish stew on our stoves and the roasts are cooked for us gratuitously at the bakers’. All food except coffee, meat,’ cocoa and sugar Is cheap down here. It is the garden district of France: All the men are so pleased and grateful and we get such post cards and . thanks. We have stewed apples, stewed dates and figs for deserts and I tell you it keeps us hopping to keep things going, Sometimes we run out of meat and then we fry eggs for them and they love them. The dormitories are won­ derful. I never was so proud of any­ thing before. Two Hundred canvas stretchers for beds. We never used them before, but we can keep them clean and put them outside if there is any vermin. Model of Cleanliness. We have a splendid fumigating plant and an incinerator, and the place Is a model of cleanliness. All the men take off their wet and dirty boots. We have good felt slippers for tliem(> two woolen blankets for each bed, two big stoves and an orderly that wakes them for their trains, good shower baths and wash rooms aud altogether, when the big room is finished, It will be a model of everything it- should be, particularly as our last touch is a bar­ ber. Last year the men slept In the road. We have adopted the Auberge sabots as the only sensible footwear aB the roads and our floors are always wet TOOYOUNGTOftEP GAS MASKS QN .Many people say: “Why doesn’t the government do the work of the Red Cross?” There is no better reply to this question than to cite some of the activities of the American Reil Cross. Last August the American Red Cross Issued an order for an automobile to be given to a. French hospital for chil­ dren of Toul, near Nancy. A lot of chintzes for the bedrooms were sent down to brighten them up, a lot of toys for the children—French children brought in from the war zone, too young to keep on their gas masks. To­ day ten Red Cross automobiles - are hauling to' Red Cross hospitals ■ In France French children whose parents, held In slavery In Germany, are now being dumped every day at Evlan, on the Franco-Swlss border. Fancy our government doing that for French children. Yet It mt&t be done if the French morale behind-the lines is to be kept up: These deeds of the American Red Cross are just as much a part of aur military policyMn France and Italy as'though they were'done un­ der articles of war.

He is Bichard Chatfield, horse buyer, who lives at West Point, Neb. He was arrested by Deputy United States Marshal Qnigley and brought before United States Com­ missioner Neely on the charge of making threats against President Wilson- “ Did you say that if the Kaiser and President Wilson stood up side by side you would rather see the President hanged?” asked the commissioner. .... “ !certainly did not. I don’t even know who the Kaiser is. I’ve heard snch thing talked, about’ but I don’t know whether its a person or a thing or a beast,” pro­ tested Chatfield. “ Well, it’s a beast,” said the commissioner, and Chatfield waB released.

They’re talking.now of drafting men whose years have numbered fifty, and hope springs in my breast again, tbe prospects now seem nifty. Before this beastly war is done, fool rules will go a-skittiug and loyal gents who weigh a ton may go and do some fighting. They've barred me out because I ’m- fat and deaf and broken.winded; aud rules responsible for that -1 hope will be recinded. When first we broke into the game, A polios were demauded; ‘-We do not waut the old or lame” —the of ficers were candid. “ No man is fit to chase the Hnn unless he’s like Narcussus.” And so I drop ped my sword and gun. aud went home to the misus. “They are mighty choice cair.” Janeeteem are mighty choice,” said Jane, ‘•my lad, to turn down beefy writers; but wait a while, and they’ll be glad to get such deadly fighters.” And now it seemB that Jane was . right; the seargent’s growing thrifty, and he admts a gent may fight who gives his age as fifty. And pretty soon the fat and bald, tbe spavined and sween- ied, will from the paths ol be peace J be called, by Uucle Sam subpe-1 naed. Forpathsofpeace I care; no hoo, I bnrn with material ardor.1 I long to slay tbe kraut fed Teat, and confiscate his larder. Let down the bars!

People qre often very much disappoint­ ed to find that their family physician is away from home when they most need his services. Diseases like pain in the stomach* and bowels, colic and Diarahoea require prompt treatment, and hav.e in many instances proven fatal before med icine could be procured or a physician summoned. The right way is to.keep at band a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic and Diarahoe Remedy.

S.” St. John’s Day, June 25th. The celebration of St John’s Day, which is held each year at the Ox­ ford Orphanage is an event of State­ wide interest, especially to the Ma- sonaic Fraternity, and the occasion carries to Oxford a large crowd of visitors annually. This celebration will be held this year on Tuesday, June 25th, instead of June 24th, the usual date.' A great many friends of this Insti­ tution even in the Fraternity • have never visited the Orphanage except on this occasion but have made it a point to go at this time aod get a glimpse of the work and participate in this annual home-coming. While che railroads are under government control reduced rates will not be given, nor special trains put on as heretofore, but the regular train schedules and automobiles will most likely take a large crowd to this fav­ ored spot. All who are interested in work of this kind and have never visited such an institution should • avail themselves of this pleasure. The Orator of the day will be Hon. Raymond C. Dunn, of Enfield, a man who has a State-wide reputation as a speaker. There will also be the usual communication of the Grand Lodge and exercises by the children. A special feature this year will be a drill by a military company which is composed of the Orphanage boys. “TV. S. S.” The Record yet at §1 per year. Seven Davie Men Called.

W ashington.—Three million Ameri­ cans will be under arms by nest Au­ gust I the senate military committee was told today by Provost Marshal General Crowder. Ex'ension of the age limits in the army draft will be necessary, General Crowder said, if the present rate of calls is continued. He estimated that all the men in class one would be ex­ haled soon after next January I. General Crowder said that 1,347,000 of the 2,428,000 men placed in class one already have been called to the colors. He estimated that some 400,- flOO additional men for the first class will be secured from the men regis­ tered last June 5 and that another 200,000 will be added by the classifica­ tion of men in the re-examination of the quf stionnaires now being made. Requisition from the draft to com­ plete the 3,Cn0,000 by August I, Gen­ eral Crowder said, have been made,. Of these, 2,000,000 will be draft regis­ trants and the others volunteers and national guardsmen. "Everybody thinks there will be heavy calls during the first six m onths of 1919,” was a significant statement made by General Crowder. General Crowder approved the gen­ eral principle of the bill introduced by Senattor Prance, extending the reg­ istration ages from 18 to 45 years, tbeeby providing additional men for military and industrial service, He did •not approve ofthe age limits fixed in the bill. After outlining the plans of the war department for additional, General Crowder sai dthat at the present rate class one will be exhausted by the end of the present year and that unless the age limits are extended and an­ other registration held, it will be nec­ essary early next year to call men in class two and probably soon there­ after in class three. Final figures of classification of the first registration totaling 8,689,447, t'Te given.

On the Italian front, for a distance of from 75 to 100 miles, Austrian troops and heavy artillery are endeavoring to break down the resistance of the Italians, who are aided by French and British forces. The Italian premier, Vittorio Or­ lando, announced in the chamber of deputies that tthe Italian troops were everywhere “resisting magnificently.” The last great Austro-German offen­ sive, begun in October, 1917, rolled hack General Cadorna’s line from the Isonzo front and along the Venetian plain. More than a million enemy troops participated In this operation, and it was not for many weeks that the Italians were able to stay the advance. About the middle of Novem­ ber the iave battle began along a ninety-mfle front in northern Italy and French and British troops were hurried to reinforce the shaken Italian army.

The men, of whom 1.261 are to be negroes will be sent to schools and colleges for training. The entrainment date was set for July I, but the call will be held open for volunteers until July 21. If on that date enough are not obtained, boards authorized to draft remainder. TWO MORE SHIPS SUNK BY U-BOATS Washington.—Germany's sea wolves ave sunk two more neutral vessels in American-waters. The latest victims of the raiders' which first made their apearance off the Atlantic coast some three weeks aro are the sailing ship Kringsjaa and the bark Samoa, both Norwegian. The crew of the former has been picked up by an American ■warship, which is bringing them to an Attlantic port, and that of the latter was landed at Norfolk. ' Washington.—Marriage since the enactment of the selective draft law no longer will be accepted as cause for exemption from military service, I except In the cases of men who have ; become of age since June 5, 1917, who : may be exempted if they married be­ fore January 15, 1918. Dependency claims on account of children ot such, marriages will be allowed where children are “born or unborn before June 9, 1918.” Following is an order sent to all state draft executives: “Please promulgate at once to lo­ cal boards the following important amendment to the selective service regulations: "Rule 5, Section 72, SSR, is amend­ed to read as follows: “Rule 5A. The fact of depefidency resulting from the marriage of a reg­ istrant who has become 21 years, of age since June 5, 1917, and who has married since the date of the intro­ duction of the joint resolution in Con­ gress requiring his registration, to wit, January 15, 1918, will be disre-' garded as a ground for deferred class­ification. “B. If a registrant who has attain­ ed the age of 21 since June 5, 1917, and who has contracted marriage sub­ sequent to the date of the enactment of the selective service law, to wit, May 15, 1918, claims deferred classl- fification on the ground of dependency resulting from his marriage, the fact of dependency resulting from his mar­ riage will be disregarded as a ground for deferred classification unless the dependent is a child of the marriage, bora or unborn on or prior to June 9, 1918, in which case such 'a regis­ trant upon satisfactory proof being made shall be classified in Class 2. “C If a registrant, other than one who has attained tt.e age of 21 years since June 5, 1917, who has contract­ ed marriage since Max 18, 1917, claims deferred.-classification on the ground of dependency resulting from his marriage, the fact of dependency resulting from his marriage will be disregarded as a ground for deferred classification unless the dependent is a child of the marriage, bora or un­ born on or before June 9, 1918, in which case a regist-ant upon satisfac­ tory proof being made shall be placed In Class 2. “D. Nothing contained in this amendment to Rule 5 shall be con­ strued as requiring the transfer to Class 2 of any registrant who has been finally classified in Class I on the affirmative finding that his mar­ riage since May IS, 1917, was made with the primary visw of evading mil­ itary service.” IS AMIENS WITH CHANNEL COAST THE OBJECTIVE? GEIMKN DFFEH OW QN THE WANE FIERCE RESISTANCE OF ALLIED FORCES HAVE CHECKED EN­ EMY FOR TIME AT LEAST. : : S. STUMERS Amrlean Forces Successfully Repulse Heavy German Attack, and Inflict Severe Losses on Enemy. The offensive movements of the Germans between Montdidier and Noyon and from south of the Oise river to the eastern fringe ot the for­ est of Viliers Votterets apparently are on the wane. In the former region the fierce resistance of- the French and the allied forces, for . the time being at least, have checked the en­ emy at all points and on some sectors the allies have even turned vigorously upon the foe and forced him to cede ground he had gained. Only one attempt apparently was made by the enemy to better his po­ sitions "near Montdidier. Here he launched a violent counter-attack from Courcelles to the north of Mery —a front of about a mile and a half— but was badly cut up by the fire of the allied guns and forced to retreat, leaving numerous dead and wounded on the field. Bast of Soissons they pentrated to the village of Laversine, but were un able to advance on any of’the other sectors, although at one time north ot Courcy French trenches were entered under the force of the impact. A counter-attack resulted in these trenches being recaptured almost im­ mediately. The sole result of the enemy’s 'at­ tack on the Montdidier-Noyon line up to the present is that he has by the violence of his attacks east of the Oise and the forced retreat ot the French from the region west of the stream, blotted out tLa awkward Noyon salient and brought the battle front more into direct alignment with that beginning at the Aisne. And a .terrible price has been paid by the Germans for this rectifification of the line. : The Germans again have endeavor­ ed to force the Amer:cans from posi­ tions captured northwest ot Chateau Thierry, but again met with, defeat and the loss of numerous men, :American officers and men'to the number of 108, fightiiig' on the Toul sector, have been awarded the French war cross for bravery and..fidelity. PRESIDENT APPROVES COMPULSORY WORK The impresion is rapidly strength­ ening that the stage is almost set for renewal of the German main thrust at the British around Amiens with the channel coast as the objective. Belief has never wavered among the majority of officers here that the real purpose of the Gernwcn general staff has ben from the first to cut the al­ lied sCrmies apart by a drive that would carry them to the channel; that, arrived at that goal, massed attacks would be hurled against the northern sector tor the purpose of destroying the Britsh army while a strong de­ fense was maintained against the French to the south. The thrusts at Paris have been looked upon as well planned and executed feints designed to weaken the Amiens front tiefore the final effort should be made there. O’BRIEN THE TOUGHEST AMERICAN AIRMAN San Antonio, Tex. — Lieut. Pat O’Brien, British royal flying corps, who survived a battle wtih four Ger­ man airplanes, was taken prisoner, leaped from a moving train, wandered more than two months through enemy territory and who finally reached Hol­ land, is suffering a broken nose, caus­ ed by the second fall of his adventu­ rous career, which resulted when he took liberties with a student training type of airplane at Kelly field. SERIOUS COAL SHORTAGE EXPECTED 1NEXT WfNTER SL Paul, Minn—The coal shortage probably will be more keenly felt this winter than last, according to repre­ sentatives of the United Mine Work­ ers’ Union of America, who are at­ tending the annual convention of the American Fedieration of labor. Dis­ cussion of the ccal situation arose after a resolution requesting the feder­ ation to lend its efforts to obtain coal for-the New England district had been adopted. Washington.—President Wilson has approved a nation-wide compulsory work movement to supplement Pro­ vost Marshal General -Crowder’s "work or fight” regulations. In a letter to Governor Harrington of Maryland, made public here tonight, the President endorsed adoption by other states of the Maryland compul­ sory work law, under which the “work or fight” principle is made applicable to.all men between-the ages of 18 and CO. General Crowder also has' ap­ proved the movement and. believes that it hot only will give greater ef­ fect to his new regulations, but will further aid the country in its task ot winning the war by reaching men be­ low and above the draft a?es. GERMANY TO EXTEND •THE DANGER ZONE According to an unofficial report emanating from Berlin,, the German- admiralty is to declare the waters off the American coast from Mexico to Canada *a danger zone for neutral shipping. London.—The German admiralty in­ tends to declare the eastern coast of the United States a danger zone and will warn neutral shipping, says a dispatch to the Bxchange Telegraph from Amsterdam, quoting reports re­ ceived from Berlin. FOR UNION OF MEXICO AND UNITED STATES New York.—Manuel Carpio, editor of La Voz de la Revolution of Yuca­ tan and BI Triumto Oi Havana, speak­ ing tor the editorB ,of Mexico, now here as the guests of the United States government, at a luncheon given in their honor by the Pan-Amer­ ican Society, said that for his country and his colleagues he made the “pro­ fession of faith that a union of Mex­ ico and the United States would be one in. intent and faith in the future.” POSTAL TELEGRAPH CO. WAIVES ITS RIGHTS New York.—Official announceemnt that the . Postal Telegraph Cable Co. at the request of President Wilson had “waived its right during the' war to discharge employes, who • joined a union” was made in a message, sign­ ed by Edward .Reynolds, vice presi­ dent and general manager..

ALL JnTEMPTS SO FIR FAILED Fierce Fighting Continues When Fringe of Wood Northwest of Bouresches Is Reaehed. London.-VV.The Germans are taking seriously the. American thrust at the apex of'their line in the Clignon val­ ley (northwest of • Qhateau-Thierry). and thus far'have used five'divisions in attempting to counter it, but en­ tirely without success,” Reuter’s cor­ respondent at French headquarters telegraphs under Tuesday’s date. “Two fresh divisions were thrown at the American center at Bouresches this morning in a fruitless attempt to recapture the village. "Trusting to the deep woods north­ west of the village; and the twisted spur- of a hill to conceal them, the leading divisions advanced' In mass formation. They, however, were ob­ served from the Bois de Ballpau and were brought under a destructive hail of shrapnel before they could deploy. The fire was so severe that the attack was disorganized and no progress could be made for some time. “When the Germaus did succcod in penetrating the defense taey were met with such enthusiasm in cold steel that their only choice was death or surrender. “In the ‘ capture of the wood to the northwest of Bouresches the Americans had to deal with machine gun nests, a game to which they are becoming expert. Gun after gun was captured and turned upon its late pos­ sessors and the advance never was materially delayed. “Fierce fighting continued when the fringe of the wood was reached, the Germans being afraid of the open slopes behind them and over which their retreat had to be conducted. When at last they broke from the cover of th4 wood they came under a tempest of bullets. Surrender being impossible they turned and ran, but very few reached ground where they could find ;refuge.” PREPARATIONS FOR BATTLE AGAINST BRITISH AND AMER­ ICAN FLEETS. WANT TO END WAR RIGHT SOON Appearance of Teutonic Fleet Iri the North Sea at Any Time Would Not Be Unexpected. Washington.—Further evidence that Germany, in its effort to end the war this summer, is planning to support ltf land offensive by sending its high seas forces against the combined Brit­ ish and American grand fleet, is given in an official dispatch Yrom Switzer­land. “A telegram of an official nature," says the dispatch, “is being spread broadcast in Germany, which says that the German admiralty is considering a big naval offensive. Orders are supposed to have been given to keep the whole fleet in readinesB and a certain number of naval officers of high rank have been hurriedly recall­ ed from Switzerland and other neutral countries, where they have been spending their leave. “The Kieler Zeitung speaks of ex­ traordinary aotivity in the ports, and The Hamburger Post publishes an in­ terview with Von Tirpitz, who was asked if Germany was in a position to measure herself with the English fleet. The admiral naturally replied In the affirmative, saying that after their Icud forces have pushed the French and English back on the other side of Paris, it would be the turn of the kaiser’s boats to drive the English off the high seas.” Both In Washington and In the at- ' lied capitals a German-, sea offensive on a grand scale long has been re­ garded a3 a possibility and the ap­ pearance of the Teutonic fleet In the North sea at any time would not be unexpected. If the battle doees come American naval forces wil play their part. ;l|I I . . .VjU- . Such Must Be Plan of Vtetoriout Army, Says Foci). HRENCH EX^CT TERRIBLE SACRIFICE FROM GERMANS With the French Army in France.— On a width of battlefront 3,000 yards in extent ho fewer than four German divisions (more than 50,000 men) were, preparing to hit a hard blow when the French launched a highly successful counter-attack southeast of Montdidier. The density of the German troops was fatal for them because , the entente allied artil­ lery, machine .'guns, riflemen and avi­ators were able to aim at point blank range-into these masses of men. This concentrated fire did terrible, execu­ tion. The battle continued throughout the nighChnd in the early hours when the entente allies made a further advance to the east of Mery, which is a most important point as it commands the valley. . Towards the center the enemy launched several attacks but the line held firmly although- some enemy de­ tachments succeeded In filtering into the Matz valley through the wooded country.. Yard by yard the French fought while the Germans tried to push them back by sheer force of numbers. Eventually the enemy succeeded in gaining a little ground but at the cost of a fearful sacrifice. South of the river Oise and also south of the Aisne the Germans show­ ed much activity, endeavoring to re­ duce the allied salient. The spirit of the allied infantrymen when they went forward in their counter-attack was very high, although they knew the- enemy facing them was several times their -superior in numbers. HOUSE COMMITTEE GROWING IMPATIENT Washington.—Members of the house ways and means committee are grow­ ing impatient over the fact that most of the witnsses appearing to discuss the new revenue legislation have come with pleas for exemption from war taxation. The occasion was'a sugges­ tion by Albert H. Reeves, representing the national automobile chamber of commerce, that ne w taxes be placed upon the automcbile-owner instead of the manufacturer.

Only skilful and resourceful seaman­ ship, as well as spsed, saved Ihe ves­ sel from falling p'ey Io the Hun Se? -volf. . BRITISH AIRMEN WORK BOTH EARLY AND LATE London--lThe official statement on aerial operations says: “In spite of -the cloudy weather our airmen on the French battle front worked early and late, dropping eight tons of bombs on enemy troops,' trans­ port and ammunition dumps, guns and trenches. Direct hits were ob­ tained on the railway at Roye-Sur- Matz and concentrations ,of infantry In the triangle comprising Montdidier, Rlcquebourg and Roye. “ Flying low, our machines attacked with machine gun fire every target that offered it­ self along the roads-behind the fight­ ing line, and an immense number of rounds were fired from the air with good effect. FRENCH IN VIOLENT ATTACK RECAPTURE IMPORTANT POINTS The French troops fighting south­ east of Montdidier have turned upon the Germans in a violent attack and administered a severe defeat to the enemy over a front of about seven and a half miles between Rubescourt and St. Maur. It was over this ^front that the French had held back the Germans from keeping pace with the advance tbey were making from the center ot the line south of Ressons- Sur-Matz toward the Oise river and where'the onslaughts of the invaders were met with a defense in man and gun power that brought to the Ger­ mans enormous casualties. GERMAN PROPAGANDA TO CREATE DISTRUST IN U. S. Allied Generalissimo Declares Well Olt ganized Reserve*, Delivering Blud­ geon Blow at Proper Time and. Plaee-Will ^Destroy the ;; • Enemy. ’ London.—Victory can be won In tbs end only by the army that 'takes the offensive, and success In this depends' on husbanding and instructing the- re* serves. So declares General Foch in the weekly journal, the Field. “Modern warfare, to arrive at US' end and to Impose its will on the en- emy," General Foch says, “recognizes only one means—destruction of ths enemy’s' organized, forces. “War undertakes and prepares this destruction by battle, which brings about the overthrow of the adversary, disorganizes his command, destroys his discipline, and^nullifies his units as far as their fighting power is con* cerned. - No Victory In Defense. “Our first axiom must be that to achieve its object a battle mu&t not be purely defensive. A purely defensive battle, even well conducted, does not result In a victor and a vanquished. It Is simply a game that must be begun over again. “From this It is an obvious corollary ■ that an offensive, whether started at the beginning of an action or whether It follows the defensive, can only give . results, and, in consequence, must al­ ways be adopted at the finish. “To maintain our position is not synonymous with being victorious and even prepares for a defeat. If we re­ main where we are and do not pass to the offensive to fix the direction of at­ tack, to guard against the plans of the enemy, and prevent him from carrying out the same maneuver, we must un­ dertake to carry on and sustain numer­ ous combats, each with determined aim. AU Depends on Reserve. “But since there remains no doubt that decisive attack is the very key­ stone of a battle, all other actions which make up a battle must be en­ visaged, considered, organized, pro­ vided with forces in the measure. In which they will prepare, facilitate, and guarantee development of a decisive attack characterized by Its mass, its surprise, its speed, and for which, in consequence, it is essential that there shall be the maximum reserve force possible of troops of maneuver. “The reserve—that is to' say, the prepared bludgeon—Is organized and kept carefully instructed to execute the single act of battle from which re­ sults are expected—namely, the de­ cisive attack. Surprise, Mass and Speed. “Reserves must be husbanded with the most extreme parsimony so that the bludgeon may be strong enoug'. to make the blow as violent as possible. Let loose at the finish, without any lurking idea of saving themr with a well thought out plan for winning the battle at a point chosen and deter­ mined, reserves are thrown in all to­ gether in an action surpassing In vio­ lence and energy all other phases of battle, an action with proper charac­teristics—surprise, mass, and speed. AU our forces really -participate, either by preparing it or by carrying it out. “In this, our supreme aim, we must not be deceived by appearances. Al­ though theory fails when applied by feeble hands-and when accessories ob­ scure the main principle, history and reason show us that In battle there Is a single argument which is worth while —namely, decisive attack, which Is alone capable of assuring the desired result—the overthrow of the adver­sary.” Washington.—What officials charac­ terized as a piece of German propa­ganda designed to create distrust In the United States in Greece reached the navy department In a Wolff bu­ reau statement that 1,000 Greek sail­ ors had been seized by Great Britain and sent to the United States to help man the American merchant fleet. DISCUSSES THE FIXING OF PRICES OF COTTON New. York. — About 200 delegates representing cotton mills of the north and souht conferred here with Gerrish Mllliken, chairman of the war service committee of the National Council of American Cotton Manufacturers, to discuss fixing of prices by the govern­ ment. The conference was called as the result of the delay on the part of the cotton, men In specifying the minimum at which they could turn out their products. SUBMARINE SIGHTED OFF THE NEW JERSEY COAST An AtSantic Port--A German sub­ marine was sighted 250 miles off the New Jersey coast by a British steam­ er, according to the officers of the ves­ sel which arrived here. According to the officers, the submarine, which was not more than 100 feet from the steamer; was not in a position to launch a torpedo, nor did the U-boat open fire. The ship dashed for shore at full speed, zig-zagging, and saw no more, of th« submarine. Inverted Point of View.There was a rush of wind, a cloud ot dust, and the car rushed On, leaving the old gentleman sprawling In the roadway. He picked himself up and dashed up to a policeman, yelling ex­ citedly: “That motorcar knocked me down I* The policeman took out a business­ like notebook and said: “Did you notice the, number, sir?”. “Yes,” said the injured one. “It was number 66.” Just then another policeman, who had seen the accident, came hurrying up and said: “No, no I The number’s 89.

EVILS OF IDLENESS STRONGLY STRESSED BY GOVERNOR OF NORTH CAROLINA. DISPATCHES FROM RALEIGH Duings and Happenings That Mark the Progress of North Carolina Peo­ ple, Gathered Around the State Capital. Raleigh. In an address to the people of North Carolina Governor Bickett stresses the evils of idleness as meaning death to the soldiers in the trenches, and asks that so much talk about idleness be stopped, and the individuals go di­ rectly to any idler and explain that idleness means prolongation of the ■war. If the idler will not take the hint and go to work, then the governor urges that he be reported to the coun­cil of defense. The governor suggests that the local authorities take steps to enforce industry, or report the names of the idlers to the governor, who will in turn report to the federal authorities, and the list of idlers be used as amendment to the draft law to call into service all idlers between 18 and 50 years of age. - Governor Bickett has instructed all police officers to rigidly enforce the vagrancy laws, and all persons who do not work at least 50 hours a week he prosecuted. He asks the court to enter judgment where, an idler does not come under the vagrancy statute for punishment, that the vagrant is a moral idler, not punishable under the statute, and that he be so recorded and listed In Washington aB “A slack­ er and traitor to our soldiers, and on the records of the community in which he lives, as a moral vagrant" Five Pounds Sugar Instead of Ten. Five instead of ten pounds for the country consumer, two instead of five pounds for the town or city consumer, twenty-five instead of fifty pounds upon certificate and pledge for can­ ning and preserving purposes with larger quantities allowed with ap­ proval of county food administrators— this is the new sugar program as an­ nounced by State Food Administrator Henry A. Page yesterday upon receipt of advices from United States Food Administrator Herbert Hoover regard­ ing the growing seriousness of the sugar situation as a result of subma­ rine activities which are interfering with the shipments of sugar from Cuba and Porto Rico. In addition to this rather radical ad­ justment in the sugar distribution pro­ gram, Mr. Page invites beverage syrup works, soda fountains and other eom- manufacturers, owners o f bottling mercial users of sugar who are pro­ ducing less essential articles to join an honor roll of non-users of sugar until the situation is relieved. No More Collections by Proxy. At the suggestion of Governor Bick- ett the state’s prison board has made an order that will prevent any attor­ ney, or agency, other than the prison­ er himself, collecting the commutation money that, under the state prison system becomes due the prisoner as his term of imprisonment is satisfac­ torily served with good behavior. Attorneys have been undertaking to secure commutations or pardons, and have prisoners assign. their commu­ tation moneys as fees for this service. The governor and prison board con­ tend that this is a misuse of the fund intended for the relief of the prison­ ers’ dpendents. Make Changes In State Museum. Visitors to the State Museum are Impressed with the reecnt changes which have been made in the arrange­ ment of exhibit .material, and in reno­ vating the interior of the halls. For the past month Curator H. H. Brimley and his assistant, T. Wi Addicks, have been busily engaged with workmen in rearranging all exhibits. Coal Mine Zone Enlarged. The coal mine zone from which North Carolina may buy coal has been enlarged to include the Kanawha coal fields, a telegram received by local Fuel Administrator A. A. Thompson from State Fuel Administrator Mc­ Alister of Greensboro, stated. Previ­ ously the’zone included only the New River and Pocahontas fields. The en­ largement of the zone. Col. Thompson believes should have effect of making it possible for more people to com­ ply with the government’s appeal to buy coal now. Three More Pardons Issued.

I Sheer Lovliness in Bridal Headwear \ "K > b. *0 A, Here comes the bride with her head adorned by a veil or by a hat—as she may elect—and her maids in veiled or veilless hats; hers is the privilege to decide which. Many brides have chosen to wear lovely hats of mu- IInes or crepe with veils suspended from the back, to be brought about the throat and partly over the face. They are followed by maids in wide- brimmed hats or quaint bonnets. But no one expects the bride to forego the stately wedding veil, and if she chooses to wear it she may concede the veiled hat to her maids. A very simple and sweet arrange­ ment of the veil is shown at the right of the picture above. It is merely a band of fine Iace run with threads of silver, that borders a small, close cap of tulle. The long veil flows out from the cap from the back, enveloping the figure. This same arrangement has been used with small sprays of orange blossoms fastened across the back of the cap where It merges into the veil at the neck. Nothing could be prettier for the bride who chooses to wear a hat than the lovely mass of tulle shown at the left of the picture. .Frills of tulle stand up about the crown and fall over the brim. Tlie long, straight veil falls from a bow at the hack and is wound nbout the throat as pictured. If it is to be the happy lot of the bridesmaids to wear a hat like this, it is most lovely made in pale pink. Another wonderful pink hat for the bridesmaid is shown at the top of the group, lit is of qrepe georgette and has huge double poppies made of the same delicate and beautiful fab­ ric set about the crown. There are lovely organdie hats that this year’s brides may avail themselves of, that are as fine and flowerlike as those of crepe. Dainty Tub Blouses ■4 Will Soon Begin Target Practice.

Thomas, 1125-A Missouri Ave., East St. Louis, 111. “I was in a serious condition with kidney trouble; my feet and ankles were terribly swollen and the kidney secretions caused agony in passage. I had ter­rible rheumatic pains and often got so dizzy I dared not walk for fear of falling. I felt as if i would go frantic. I grew weak as a baby and often had to grasp something to keep from falling. My nerves were all unstrung and the least noise startled me. Nothing benefited me and I was disconraged.

The sergeant major put head in tho door of the billet and ” , “C. of E. outside for churchade!” tePt on writing. Turning to me, In' a loud voice, he asked, “Empey, aren’t you 0. of E.?” I answered, “Yep.” In an angry tone, he commanded, “Don’t I you *yep’ me. Say, Wes, ser­ geant major.’” “I did so. Somewhat mollified, he ordered, “Outside for church parade.” I looked up and answered, “I am not going to church this morning." He said, “Oh, yes, you are!” I answered, “Oh, no, Fm not I”—But I went We lined up outside with rifles and bayonets, 120 rounds of ammunition, wearing our tin hats, and the march to church began. After marching about five kilos, we turned off the road into an open field. At one end of this field the chaplain was standing In a limber. We formed a semicircle around him. Overhead there was a black speck cir­ cling round and round in the sky. This was a German Fokker, The chaplain had a book In his left hand—left eye on the book—right eye on the airplane. We Tommies were lucky, we had no books, so had both eyes on the air­plane. After church parade we were marched back to our billets, and played football all afternoon. CHAPTER IV. “Into the Trench." The next morning the draft was in­spected by our general, and we were assigned to different companies. The boys In the brigade had nicknamed this general Old Pepper, and he cer­ tainly earned the sobriquet. I was as­signed to B company with another American named StewarL For the next ten days we “rested,” repairing roads for the Frenchies, drill­ ing, and digging bombing trenches. One morning we were informed that we were going up the line, and our march began. * It took us. three days to reach re­ serve billets—each day’s march bring­ ing the sound'of the guns nearer and nearer. At night way off In the dis­tance we could see their flashes, which lighted up the sky with a red glare. Against the horizon we could see numerous Observation balloons or “sau­ sages” as they are called. On the afternoon of the third day’s march I witnessed my first airplane being shelled. A thrill ran through me and I gazed in awe. The airplane was making wide circles in the air, while little puffs of white smoke were burst­ ing all around it These puffs appeared like tiny balls of cotton while after each burst could, be heard a dull "plop.” The sergeant of my platoon informed us that it was a German air­ plane and I wondered how he could tell from such a distance because the plane seemed like a little black speck In the sky. I expressed my doubt as to whether it was English, French or Ger­ man. With a look of contempt he fur­ ther informed us that the allied anti­aircraft shells when exploding emitted white smoke while the German shells gave forth black smoke, and, as he ex­ pressed it, “It must be an Allemand be­ cause our pom-poms are shelling, and I know our batteries are not off their bally nappers and are certainly not strafeing our own planes, and another piece of .advice—don’t chuck .your weight about until you’ve been up the line and learnt something.” I Immediately ’ quit “Chucking my weight about” from that time on. Just before reaching reserve billets, ReT cT ation' ^thavers ToSFT.T^Toffffi r i i ;-'^pA iW ^lblio]s| .fijli lflr4lU Showing Typical Front-Line and Communication ,Trenches. we were marching along, laughing, and singing one of Tommy’s trench ditties: T TT01Y 10 home, I want to go home, I oo& t want to go to the trenches no more Where sausages and whizz-bangs are ga­lore.Take me over the sea. Where the Alle- mand can’t get at me,Oh, my, I don’t want to die,I want to go home—” when overhead came a “swish” through the air, rapidly followed by three oth­ ers. Then about two hundred yards to our left In a large field, four columns of black earth and smoke rose into the air, and the ground trembled from the report—the explosion of four . German five-nine’s, or “coalboxes.” • A sharp whistle blast immediately followed by two short ones, rang ont from the bead Cf our column. This was to take up “artillery formation.” We divided into small squads and went into the fields on the right and left of the road, and crouched on the ground. No other shells followed this salvo. It was our first baptism by shell fire. From the waist up I was all enthusiasm, but from there down, everything was missing. I thought I should die with fright. After awhile, we reformed into col­ umns of fours, and proceeded on our way. About five that night we reached the ruined village of H , and I got my first sight of the awful destruction caused by German Knltur. / Marching down the main street we came to the heart of the- village, and took up quarters. In shellproof cellars (shellproof until hit by a shell). Shells were constantly whistling over the vil­ lage and bursting In our rear, search­ ing for our artillery. ' These cellars were cold, damp and smelly, and overrun with large rats— big black fellows. Most of the Tom­ mies slept with their overcoats over their faces. I did not In the middle of the night I woke up In terror. The cold, clammy feet of a rat had passed over my face. I immediately smoth­ ered myself in my overcoat, but could not sleep for the rest of that night Next evening, we .took over our sec­ tor of the line. In single file we wend­ ed our way through a zigzag com­ munication trench, six inches deep with mud. This trench was called “Whisky street.” On our way up to the front line an occasional flare of bursting shrapnel would light up the sky and we could hear the fragments slapping the ground above us on our right and left. Then a Fritz would traverse back and forth with his “type­ writer” or machine gun. The bullets made a sharp cracking noise overhead. The boy in front of me named Pren­ tice crumpled up without a word. A piece of shell had gone through his shrapnel-proof helmet I felt sick and weak. In about thirty minutes we reached the front line. It was dark as pitch. Every now and then a German star shell wonld pierce the blackness out in front with its silvery light I was trembling all over, and felt very lonely and afraid. AU orders were given In whispers. The company we relieved filed past us and disappeared into the' blackness of the communication trench leading to the rear. As they passed us, they whispered, “The best o’ ' luck mates.” I sat on the fire step of the trench with the rest of the men. In each traverse two of the older men had been put on guard with their heads sticking over'the top, and with their eyes try­ ing to pierce the blackness In “No Man’s Land.” In this trench there were only two dugouts, and these were used by Lewis and Vickers machine gunners, so it was the fire step for ours. Pretty soon it started to rain. We put on our “macks,” but they were- not much protection. The rain trickled down our backs, and-it-was not long, before we were wet and cold. How I passed that night I WlU never know, but without any unusual occurrence, dawn arrived. The word “stand down” was passed along the line, and the sentries got down off the fire step. Pretty soon the rum issue came along, and it was a Godsend. It wanned our chilled bodies and put new life into us. Then from the communication trenches came dixies or iron pots, filled with steam­ ing jea, which had two wooden stakes through their handles, and were car­ ried'by two men. I filled my canteen and drank the hot tea without taking it from my Ups. It was not long, be­ fore I was asleep In the mud on tho fire step.My ambition had been attained I I was in a front-line trench on the west­ ern front and oh, how I wished I were back In Jersey City. BEETLES Insect Is Slimy and Soft in Tex­ ture and Rather Disgusting in Appearance. POSSIBLE PROGENY IS URGE Arsenate of Lead Is Preferable to Paris Green as Remedy^-Single Application With Sprayer Will Destroy Most of Them. (Prepared by the United States Depart­ m ent of Agriculture.)Injury by the Colorado potato beetle and its “slugs” or young is known practically throughout the entire Cnited States, from the great plains eastward to the Atlantic coast except a few counties In the extreme south­ ern portion of the Gulf region. It has appeared recently as a pest In Wash­ ington and Oregon. This insect is a bard-shelled, stout beetle, of a distinct yellow color, about three-eighths of an inch long. Its wing-covers are orna­ mented with ten longitudinal black lines. The young or “slugs” are dark red when hatched, becoming paler as they grow older. They are slimy and soft In texture and disgusting in ap­ pearance. Generations Produced. In Its extreme northern range this potato beetle produces only one gen­ eration or brood, but farther south, . two or three generations occur.

The beetles'appear in early spring and continue until the cold weather of September or October, according to locality. One female can produce 1,800 and 1,900 eggs. The possible progeny of two; or three broods is enormous. In 1916 it is esti­ mated that at least 20 per cent of the potato crop suffered from Its ravages. During 1917, for no reason which can be assigned, the Insect was conspicu­ ous by Its absence, but in another year or two It may be as troublesome as ever. It is certain to appear locally In numbers. The best remedies are arsenicals, and of these arsenate of lead is in many respects preferable to paris green, which it is rapidly replacing. The high price of all copper com­ pounds incident to the war has result­ ed In an increase in the price of paris green, while lead arsenate, although it also has increased in price, is some­ what cheaper.

Lead arsenate does not kill as quickly as paris green, but Insects cease feeding as soon as they receive a poisonous dose, It is sold In both powdered form and paste form, and is used at the rate of two pounds of pow­ der to 50 gallons of water, or bordeaux mixture, or in paste at double this strength. In small gardens two-thirds of an ounce or one level teaspoonful to a gallon of water is In the same pro­ portion. For the paste form I 1-3 -ounces or three level teaspoonfuls are used- to a gallon of water. For the proper ■ application of this spray a sprayer of the best type and approved nozzles should be employed. A single application when , the slugs first appear will kill most of them, but a second or third dose may sometimes be required. Later on other broods must be treated in the same manner. . Other remedies, such as jarring beetles and “slugs” early-in the season by brushing them from the plants into large shallow milk pans containing a thin scum of kerosene, and hand-pick­ ing, are of value early In the season, but are too laborious for a large acre­ age. Good Use of Legume Hay and Corn - Silage Reduces Cost of Rations for Cows Without Decreas­ ing .Supply of Milk. (Prepared by the United States Depart­ m ent of Agriculture.) Legume'hay and corn silage formed a large part of the rations of those cows which made the greatest Income over cost of feed in cow-testing associ­ ations, in which the records of 5,587 cows covering a period of four years were studied by specialists of.the de­ partment of agriculture. By feeding such feeas larger production can be combined with economic production and the income over cost of feed can be increased. Economic production benefits both producer and consumer. The feeding of concentrates -to dairy cows should be based on known pro­ duction. Farmers who- are- too -busy to test their own cows may now„have the work done for them at nominal cost by joining a cow-testing association. As ordinarily conducted, a cow-testing association is an organization of about 26 dairy farmers who co-operatively employ a man to test their cows for economical ’production, The tester not only weighs the milk and the feed but he tests the milk for butterfat and assists the farmers In feeding their cows according to production. Before the formatlon of a cow-testing association In a certain dairy district -few farmers fed grain to their dry cows, and none fed a balanced ration to any of their cows; prepared feeds of unknown merit were largely used; and some farmers dished up the grain With a scoop shovel and fed-all their cows alike, regardless of production. Through the active co-operation of all the members of the association those conditions were rapidly changed. Better feeding of dry cows Increased the milk flow during the next lactation period; the use of a well-balanced ra­ tion brought about more economical feeding, and abandoning the scoop- tIhovel method and feeding concentrates according to production greatly re­ duced the cost of feed. However, the elimination of low producers that did not respond to better feed and care ef­ fected the greatest saving of all. In some herds these changes more than doubled the Income over cost of feed. Tlie dairymen belonging to that asso­ ciation demonstrated that it pays to keep good cows and to feed them well. The cow-testing association records clearly show that the most practical, 1 far-reaching, and vitally important facts connected with the economical production of milk may be grouped log­ ically under these three heads: Selec­ tion. breeding, feeding. Careful and in­ telligent feeding, care, and manage­ ment lift the dairy business to a cer­ tain level, but the highest level can be reached only when to these are add­ ed',careful selection and intelligent breeding.

PUN FOR SUPPLY OF SIUGE Stockmen Are Urged to Fortify Them­ selves Against High-Priced Feed Next Winter. (Prepared by the- United States D epart­m ent of Agriculture.)StocInnen throughout the country are urged by the pnited States depart­ ment of agriculture to make plans early for an ample supply of silage to fortify themselves against a scarcity of forage and high-priced feed next win­ ter. In every case a sufficient acreage to provide crops to fill the silo should be provided by beef-cattle farmers. This X-Ray Reflectors. Mica has been found an excellent material for concentrating mirrors for X-rays. Glass will not do, because, smooth as it is. It is too rough for the ; extremely minute X-rays, which are much smaller than light waves. Glass diffuses the X-rays, much as a rough surface diffuses light waves, but It was found that the surface of mineral crys­ tals were of the requisite smoothness for reflecting X-rays, and of them mica Is the most adaptable, being readily split Into sheets.

The cheapness with which cattle can be fit­ ted for market or carried through the winter with silage insures that well- filled silos will be a paying investment. It is a good farm practice to put more acreage to silage corn than it is estimated under ordinary conditions will be necessary to fill the silo. Dry weather or a hailstorm at the crucial stage of growth may cause a marked decrease In the tonnage yield. For the South a few extra acres should be planted to sorghum to meet probable shortage. - BetterOff i f ^ y o u d r i n k INSTANT POSTDM i n s t e a d , o f c o f f e e .

USES A SIMPLE DIET “Makeshift" Feeding Attachment Not Only Saves Man’s Life, out Insures Him Excellent Health and Happiness. Macon, Mo.—Thomas Tilden Ar- ' buckle, a farmer residing near here, . has not swallowed a bite of solid food ; or liquid during the past twenty years, commending him In more ways than ; one to Food Administrator Hoover. , During all these years- Arbuckle has fed himself through a tube which he j inserts into the stomach through a narrow incision. Arbuckle “eats,” with a relish, soup, Irish potatoes thinned with milk, coffee, molasses and has even tried beer. He weighs 140 pounds, is five feet and seven inches tall, is married and Is the father of four chil­ dren. Since recovering from an opera­ tion to his throLt May 23,1898, he has not had a sick dajj in his life, all of which he attributes to his simple diet. He declares that If more people were more enthusiastic about Hooverizing they would spend less on medicine and doctors. Tube Used as “Makeshift” Arbuckle lived In Louisville, Ky., at the time his throat became clogged as the result of an attack of typhoid fever. His brother, who suffered from a similar affliction, died when he be­ came unable to swallow.

Mr. Arbuckle Feeding Himself. with Thomas and. they made an in­ cision in the “greater curvature of the stomach,” “Of course it’s only a makeshift, Tom,” they explained, “but it will keep you going a while, and maybe we can think up something else in time.” That “makeshift” feeding attachment Is In use by Mr. Arbuckle, today, only he has added a small funnel so as to make it easier to get the food into the tube. Arbuckle’s home is on the Thomas Brockman farm, In Lyda township, Ma­ con county, Missouri, and Mr. Brock­ man says he has never had a more capable workman. When dinner time comes and the men gather about the table, Arbuckle’s food is brought to him In bowls and cups, he gets out his nibber tube and funnel and enjoys his ineal as well as the rest, and after din­ ner he lights bis pipe and makes as big smoke rings as anybody. Easy to Control an “Overload.” Arbuckle takes no water from Sep­ tember until May, the liquid food fur­ nishing sufficient moisture during those months. But during the warm months he uses water heavily, often taking from a quart to half a gallon at a time. Should he misjudge the capac­ ity of his stomach, and overload it, he has a siphon by which he can quickly relieve the pain. In November, Ar-* buckle will be forty-one. He was mar­ ried in Indiana 12 years ago. 1Tve been feeding myself this jray so long there doesn’t seem anything strange about it,” says Arbuckle. “I get hungry and In a way enjoy what I ‘eat’ same as most people, I guess. I sleep well, and am strong and healthy. After I recovered from the operation on my throat, I got all right, and have had better health than the average man. Only four days, as I remember it, have I been laid off wort on account of sickness In the 20 years.” Arbuckle held out his muscular arm. “You can see by that my physical con­ dition. My case seems to be a demon­ stration that people generally eat too much; that good health and vitality are the rewards for using easily di­ gested foods, In moderate quantities. At least it has worked that way In my case.” . . • tW H N T F n BWeslMyW MU Boor sweeping I Ct A ll I compound to stores in your city <Me^r^^coiid-haiid Bags,borltiPdSSB twine.

I have a son two years old. * I want him to be a sportsman. I want him to be able to win like a gentleman, to lose like a man. I want him to grow up in a world where a victory gained by foul tactics Is incom­ prehensible. I want him to feel always that his word is sacred; that no advantage to himself or others justifies the violation of his oath. I want him to reverence the memory of his mother, to look upon all women with clean eyes. I want him to grant, as a matter of fact, the demands of weakness upon strength. I want him to look upon human beings as individuals, to accept cheerfully another's right tc a belief contrary to his own. I want him to gain his own beliefs through searching his own soul, not by blindly accepting the dicta of others. I want him to believe in a generous God, a God Who Is a Gentleman, not a demoniac God who plays favorites. One judges a man by his professed beliefs, by his acknowledged deeds. One judges a race in the same manner. By their professed beliefs, by their acknowledged deeds, I judge the Germans. And I firmly believe that a world ruled by them would be a world In which It would be impossible for my son to grow up to be the man I want him to be. (Contributed by Mr. KEMBLE and Mr. ROCHE to the NATIONAL SECURITY L^AGUE1S Campaign of Patriotism Through Education.) THE SLACKER Throughout North Carolina and the nation sentiment toward the slacker is erystalizing and the fine finger of scorn and contempt is searching him out. There are several varieties ot' slackers. Here are some of them: The service slacker—the man who should be in the ranks and is not. The labor slacker—the man who is able to work and doesn’t. The food slacker—the male or female hog who refuses to readjust their diet so as to meet the demands of our Allies for those foodstuffs which may be exported. The financial slacker—the individual who can but does not buy Liberty bonds and W ar Savings Stamps. : Slacking at home means more blood spilled by true blue A m erieanboysinF rance. Slacking in America means starvation for innocent women and children in England, France and Italy. Slacking at home is a menace to the success of the American, British and Frencli arms in France. THE SLACKER’S REW ARD The intelligent, observant, patriotic,people of America will not forgive slacking. The slacker is a marked man. Not only during the war, but as the war goes on and the casualty lists come in he will be more and more scorned and hated by decent citizens. , After- the w ar is over he will be an object of contempt. He will be without the regard of decent people in hiB community. His children and his children’s children after him will pay a bitter price for his disloyalty—For his failure under test to do his duty by his country and bv humanity. Inexorable fate is setting him apart and he will not escape. Every Bushel Saved Now W ill Supply a Soldier w ith Bread Until Next Harvest. TO ALL ABLE-BODIED AMERI­ CANS.

Prince Lichnowsky, who was German Ambassador to England when the war broke out, says that he wrote the document for his family archives, but it was made public in Germany and created a great stir, the Kaiser’s government hastening to repudiate and suppress it) “On Aug. 2 (1914), when I saw Asquith in order to, make a final attempt, he was completely broken, and, although quite calm, i&irs ran. down his face.” - “Of course it would only have needed a hint from Berlin to make OOcnt Berchtold (Austrian Foreign Minister in August, 1914): satisfy • hhnself witli a diplomatic success and put up with the .Serbian reply.” “The Impression became ever stronger that we (Germanv) desired war in all circumstances." _ . “Thus ended my JLondon mission. It was wrecked'not by the perfidy of the British, but by the perfidy of our policy.” “I had to support in London a policy which I knew to be fallacious.

NORTH CAROLINA. !WEDNESDAY. JUNE 28. 1918.0 NUMBER SO “Sweetbearting” Now And In For­ mer Days. Winston Sentinel. Col. J. A. Robinson, editor of the Durham Sau1 a tew days ago visited a moving picture show, nnd while he never gave the title of the picture, it must have been oue ol Douglas Fairbanks’, for the Colonel in describing it Baid a matt was chased over tops of buildings, down rain pipes, and many city blocks, the pursuers never ceasiug lor oue moment their revolver fire at the fugitive. The editor was vary much struck by the fact that despite the apparently hundred of shots tired from the revolvers, not ouce were they reloaded, which caused him to arrive at the con­ clusion that movie actors had in­ vented a weapon that surpassed auythiug of the kind now in use by any of the armies in Europe. But, the above is only by way ot introductory. Editor Robinson has recently cogitated upon the expense of “sweethearting” in this day of the high cost of everything. He compares the courting of the present time with that years ago when he was a Romeo and Lothrio rolled into one. And the result of the Colonel’s comparison is all in favor of the modern methods in vogue among the swains and lassies forty years ago. Here’s what he lias to say: “Isn’t it funny how everything has changed since father was a boy and how fashions and courting and all that have become bo vastly dif ferent from what they were forty years ago. “Ask any man who has to.glance over his shoulder to see the fiftieth milestone as. he passes on^^totrard'’ the sundown of his life and he’ll tell you that sweethearting today isn’t anything like it was when he was young. He’ll tell you plainly that boys and girls don’t have good limes and as much real, gen­ uine fu q as the boys and girls of forty years ago. “Forty years ago a Durham boy didn’t have to take his sweetheart out as often as the Durham boy'of today is forced to do if he bopeB to keep up to date. When be met her in postoffice a few nights before the box social that was to be held at the church he would tell her that he would call for her ’long about .7 o’clock and for her to be sura that she fixed up her box so’st he’d kuow it when the bidding started. And the inorning of the social she’d take oue ot the lemon layer Ciikes that he was so fond of and 31a would mix up a mess of biscuit and make a meat-loaf for sand­ wiches and open a jar of pickles— end it was no wonder that he was willing to bid as high as sixty ceuis for the box. “Today it costs a week’s wages to take a girl out lor an evening Flowers, taxi fare, show tickets mill supper. She wouldn’t think of asking him in afterward to eai; doughnuts and drink Cider, so he has (o escort her to a restaurant where she can’t remember there’s any thing else in the world to eat except lobster a la Rewburg or chirkeu a la king. “No sir. There never was time in the history of the world when courting is as costly as it is now. Ifyou doubt it, ask Dadr he knows.” The Church And The War. In another column there is pro­ pounded question* for the editor to answer, as to the place the church Bhould occupy in the war, for ex ample, placards advocating the sale of bonds should be hung in the building or tacked outside. Calmness.is needed in all such discussions, because reiigion aud politics have long been the prolific cause ot dissension. When man’s sympathies are enlisted in any sub­ ject, they seldom are able to see the other side, ar.d they are often swept off their feet by sentiment rather than principle. This is especially true where war questions are concerned. Let it then be clearly understood that thjs paper yields to. none in loyaltv to the Government and In admiration for our President. We helieve in the jastice ot our cause, and we believe that the right will in the end triumph. We have not only given our support in the * aiious measures deemed necessary tor its successful prosecution, but we have given our own flesh and blood. Two of our sons entered the service, not in the draft, but as volunteers, and not as officers, but as privates, ready to bear the heat and burden of the day. We muBt' remember that a man owes loyalty not only to the State, but also to God, and that where the two conflict in his judgement, God must always stand first. The church must teach patriotism and do her utmost to encourage young men to volunteer, the older men to subscribe to the Liberty Loan bonds and the women to knit sweaters and socks, and do every ,thipg-possible.te.cheer-thesoldieief r^T be preacher shonld preach and urge the dnties.of Christian citizen­ ship, with everything implied in it, and during the week, let the church building be used for gather­ ings to foster loyalty, and to aid the Government. When, however, Sunday comes and the people assemble to wor. ship Godj let us be careful to con­ fine ourselves to His worship. Sunday is his day, and the build­ ing that day is his house, and therefore the use of the building lor distributing information about war measures is an encroachment iip n the rights of our King. We are aware that many of our brethren will question our position, and many will' go quite contrary to our view6. We refcognize the ight of each to his own opinion, and do not propose to sit in judg­ ment upon him. Our views are those of our fathers in the past, and they are founded upon the plain teachings of the Word, as we understand it. As far as in us lies we purpose to render fully to Caesar the things that are Cae sar’s and to God the things that are God’s and no charge of dis­ loyalty to Government or hide­ bound conservatism is going to swerve us from our course. —Presbyterian Standard Men Over Seas Can’t Vote.

No Room For Slackers Io Madison County. Mr. John A. Hendricks, County Chairman of Madison County, savs that there is going to be no room in that county for’ people who can and who won’t support the Government by buying Thrift and War-Savings Stamps this year. “There is no room for the slacker and the cold- foot in the county,1' he says, “and- the sentiment of the county will os-, tracise any person who will not stand back of his country in times such as these.” Mr. Hendricks reports a whole­ some and a growing interest in the War-Savings Campaign in Madison. Be travels 18 and 20 miles over the “im p a s s a b le ” mountain roads, preaches Thrift and instills the hearts of the people with patriotism. He shows them the “way of their duty” as regards the needs of their Government. As a result, his coun­ ty is coming along line in the sale of Thrift and War-Savings Stamps. The Work-Or-Fight Rule. Ceneral Crowder’s latest amend­ ment to the selective service regu­ lations is calculated to drive men of fighting age, who have not yet been called to the colors, into strictly useful employments. It is directed particularly at idlers, gamblers, j theatre attaches, domestics, mercan- j tile clerks and the like. Men who'- come under these classifications must j find new and more useful employ-1 ment or be drafted into military.; service. ] In theory the country can have no I fault to find with this ruling. The: legitimate occupations referred to ; will be none the worse for having] women or men above military age! substituted for the .young men re- j moved. The illegitimate occupa- :& elK ort^^^labof in the ’actual ■ war-making industries is too acute to permit a doubt as to the propri­ ety of inaugurating drastic remedies. In practice the pian has its dan­ gers. It is to be enforced almost t absolutely at the discretion of the various local boards. The boards alone may consider “extenuating circumstances” or “extraordinary hardships” that might result from an enforced change of employment. It is a tremendous power to be ves­ ted in inexperienced and sometimes overzealous groups of men. Great confusion and numerous unjust rul­ ings are sure to result unless the in­ structions sent to ' the local boards from Washington are vastly more comprehensive, explicit and partic­ ular than those already published. —UnionRepublican. ..

Poor fellows. “TV. S. S.” A Brave Man Vindicated. 22 deserters in Mitchell county came up the other day and surren­ dered and were conducted to camp. This was all the deserters Mitchell had, and their action solves a per­ plexing problem in a happy manner. Behind this statement of news inter­ est is the story of a brave man— John C. McBee, chairman of the Mitchell county/board of exemptions. These deserters or their friends tried to bluff McBee by threatening his life and driving his cattle into the mountains, but they found their bluff wouldn’t work. It may be that the admiration of the mountaineer for a brave man had something to do with the deserters coming in. This man McBee is a very interest­ ing character. A good many years ago McBeejoined the United States army and was sent to tbe Phillipines. where he was in grave danger during Filipino insurrection many times. On his way over he met a young lady going to teach the ignorant na­ tives the language and lessons of liberty. He married this lady and. remained with her in the Islands for seven years after his military service expired: Coming back to North Carolina at the age when most men would have considered their training done, McBee entered college, com­ pleted a two years law course in one and was licensed as a lawyer with scholastic distinction. Tvvo years ago he' was nominated and elected to the Legislature from Mitchell coun­ tv. McBee i° a Republican and no doubt is anxious to rise in politics, but he wodldn’t let his political chances stand between him and the performance of his duty to the flag I $25.00 For A Davie Boy Farmer.

Large numbers of the pontoon bridges thatt the Austrians threw across the Piave have been* swept away by the now torrential stream, and on all the sectors of the 33 mile front where they gained edges of the Tenetitian plain they are being sorely harassed by the fire of the Italian guns and rifles and by the machine gunfire and bombs of the allied avia­ tors who have done such notable ex­ ecution since the drive started. Monster preparations have been made by the Austrians for What was to be the death blow to King Victor Emmanuel's men. Thousands upon thousands of men, many of them brought from the Russian and Ru­ manian fronts and guns and stores in tremendous quantities had been par­ celled among the various command­ ers for the drive over a battle arc of virtually 100 miles, running from the Asiago plateau to the Piave river and then following that stream to the sea. Undoubtedly, the Austrian high command had built largely for suc­ cess on the belief that the Italian morale had been shattered when last year their great pincers closed in upon the Italian front and forced back the line in a great semi-circle from the Julian Alps to the Piave and from the mountains in the north almost to the plains of Venetia. _ . , NAVY RECRUITING IS ACTIVE AND RESULTS SATISFACTORY mountain peaks in ' the Alps and across the Piave river to the plains of Venetia thus far have met with almost signal failure. Where the enemy wag able in the mountains to press back sligh.tty the allied defenders of the front in the firat day of their offensive the ground has been regained; where he crossed the Piave river and ap­ parently was threatening the plains with invasion he now is being sorely harassed at every point The battle is not a stalemate. In the mountains, the Italians, British and French troops seemingly have the up­ per hand; along the Piave from the Monte.Uo plateau to the mouth of the river east of Venice the Italians, ap­ parently are gaining the upper hand. Little fighting of moment is in prog­ ress in the mountain region but all along the Plave battles of great vio­ lence are in progress with the invad­ ers meeting resistance upon which they had not counted and being stead­ ily pressed back toward the western bank of the now turbulent river which has swept away many of their pon­ toon bridges in the center of the line, leaving them in a rather precarious predicament. Fresh rains have forced the river well out of its banks and the ques­ tion of sending Austrian reinforce­ ments to the western side or convey­ ing food and military supplies to the men already on the border of the plains has become a critical one. Hoping to alleviate the situation, the Austrians again have delivered at­ tacks on the Montello plateau, jlish oxford I§4 50.

Secretary Daniels announced that enlistments in the naval reserve the first week of this month when it be came known that the sea wolves were preying on shipping off the American coast, totalled 14,406, a record for this branch of the service, while in the following week 12,308 men were add­ ed. The enlistments, -the secretary said, are continuing at a rapid rate and indications are that June will be a banner month. Enlistments in the marine corps have brought the total strength of the corps to approximately 50,000 men. Recruiting is proceeding so briskly at the stations throughout the country that officials anticipate no difficulty in speedily bringing the corps’ strength to the 75,500 authorized in the naval appropriation bill now before Con­gress. The enlisted strength of the vari­ ous branches of the naval service were given by Mr. Daniels as follows: Regular navy: Officcers, 9,204; en­ listed men. 205,798.

TO EUROPE Washington.—Establishment of an air route to Europe from the United States in order to bring the full force of American effort in the air to bear against Germany has been decided upon as a definite project by the Brit­ ish air council, the new organization into which all British air service has been merged. This was disclosed to­ day by Major General William Branc- ker, controller of equipment on the council, who is in Washington to dis­ cuss this and other projects relating to air warfare with American officials Plans for an initial flight across the Atlantic in August, September or October of this year are already well advanced. American co-operation is sought and General BranckeT hopes that the first machine to make the crossing will carry both British and American pilots. At least three Brit­ ish pilots regarded as qualified for the trip are now here and several types of machines produced in England.have ample fuel capacity for the 40-hours of -flying; it is estimated the .trip would take.

Evident Loss ef Do-or-Dle Spirit by the Teutons Shown in Recent Operatlose. Enemy Along Piave River Ie Being Firmly Held, Especially on Crucial 8ector of Montello Plateau. Over the entire mountain - region the Austrians have remained quiet, ex­ cept whein, compelled to go on the de­ fensive, and then their- efforts to hold back tholr antagonists have lacked the--stamina-., usual in men, whose hearts are in their ■ task. This con­ dition has prevailed since the first on­ slaughts of the enemy was summarily stopped by the fire of the British, French and Italian IorceB forming the barrier to the Venetian plains. More heart is being thrown into the work by the enemy along the Piave from the Montello plateau southward to the region lying east, of .Yepice. Here he still seems, notwithstanding his heavy losses and numerous re­ pulses on various sectors, bent on throwing his armies across the stream or pushing further westward with those of his forces , that .already have lorded it. Nevertheless, further. set­ backs to the Austrians have followed those of past days on the Montello, where, the Italians are viciously dis­ puting the right of way to the plains. Likewise, near the famous Zenson loop, farther down the stream, the enemy’B heavy attacks have been held and under the impetus of the Italian counter blows, he has fallen back nearer the river lor reinforcements hastily brought up. Still farther south between Fos- salta and San Dona di Piave the Ital­ ians have further pushed back the in­ vaders, and unofficial reports assert that they have recaptured the village of Capo Sile, lying on the edge of the marsh region some 20 miles east of historic Venice. It Is not outside the range of possi­ bility that a large number of the Aus­ trians are in a fair way to be taken prisoner by the Italians, for a large number of tthe pontoon bridges which they threw across the Piave over the 14% mile front between the Coneg- liano railway bridge an dthe Zenson loop have been carried away on the bosom of the swollen stream. At any rate the-loss of these bridges will necessarily seriously impede the rein­ forcement of the Austrians on the west bank of the stream -and the re­ plenishment of their supplies. Meanwhile,; the food situation and the war weariness of the people with­ in the dual monarchy again are mak­ ing trouble for the authorities. Trou­ blous times also seemingly are in store for the German governments ow­ ing to. lack of bread.* In Vienna mobs are reported to have raided -bakeriees and stoned the residence of the pre­ mier and even to have attacked cne of the wings of the imperial palace. Troops had to be called out to restore order. The attacks of the Germans near Rheims resulted disastrously to them. Hardly had they left their trenches after one of . the most terrific bombard- mentp with shells of all calibers; in­ cluding gas projectiles, ever experi­ enced on the western front, nearly 40,009 men were faced by the reinforc­ ed French armies and literally cut to pieces and forced to fall back precipi­ tately. Only at one point, to the east ol Rheims, did the. enemy succeed In penetrating the French line. Here they were ejected almost Immediately. The German official communication de­ scribes the attack as a demonstration of Jfrtillery and men-throwers. The Teutonic allies apparently have lost their spirit of do-or-die. Their attacks everywhere have lacked the tenaciousness of days gone by. Instead of ploughing through allied lines with stubborn indifference to casualties so long as an objective was gained, they now waver and then halt in the face of the artillery and rifle fire of the men barring their way, and with the -points they were trying to gain still far beyond their reach. Ambitious attempts by the troops of the central powers in ‘the past few weeks have proven this. The opening of a gateway to Paris through the western front, running from Montdid- ier to Die Marne, failed completely; the offensive on the Italian battle line launched by the Austrians seeming­ ly has failed miserably in the moun­ tain regions and apparently has almost been stopped along the Plave, while a stroke started by the Germans against Rheims broke down in its in-, ception without the enemy taking yard of territory. And in these various attempted en­ terprises the high commands of the German and Austro-Hungarian armies have seen their men literally mown down until battlefields have been clog- gd with dead or wounded as recom­ pense to the allied troops for the small bits of terrain they yielded. AMERICAN TROOPS STORM GERMAN TRENCHES WORK OR FIGHT ORDER WILL BE ENFORCED Washington.—Instructions to draft boards were issued by Provost Mar­ shal General Crowder explaining and amplifying the “wo;-k or fight” order under which after July I all men of draft age, regardless' ef their present classification, must engage In employ­ ment held to be productive, or join the army. ACUTE FOOD SITUATION* IN SWEDEN EVIDENT An ADantic Port.—Evidencing the acute food situation in Sweden, it is now necessary for Swedish ships leav­ ing this port to be provided with sup­ plies of coal for the return trip to United States ports.

Italian Headquarters in Northern Italy—It is considered only a ques­ tion of a brief lapse of time before the AuBtrians will begin another offen­ sive; It is said that this time they will probably concentrate their ef­ forts instead of scattering them as they did a week ago when they fol-. lowed the German plan of attempting to make, a big offensive over a* long line before revealing their point oi at tack. American troops stormed German trenches and machine gun nests in front of Cantigny, In the Montdidier sector. Those of the German garri­ son who remained to fight and carry out their orders to hold the positions at any cost, were killed by rifle and machine gun fire and bayonet. The Americans also took prisoners. The American artillery put down a heavy box barrage on the rear of the enemy positions. A few minutes later the infantry swarmed over the top and rushed-the trenches. Some of the Germans had tried to escape through the barrage, crashing to their rear, but. few of theem got through, for nu­ merous German dead werefound later. Prisoneers captured declare that they had orders to hold on at all costs, and this war apparent by the desper­ ate manner In which they fought. MANUFACTURERS MULCTED HARD' FOR BOGUS SERVICE WasHingtbn--Methods by . which contingent ‘ fee contract -agents in Washington suppressed competition in bidding on government war orders, in­ flated prices, manipulated bids and even "double-crossed” their own cli­ ents by representing competing con­ tractors, were uncovered today by the department of justice in examining correspondence seized in raids. Some manufacturers paid thousands of, dol­ lars for "purely imaginary services." THE FOOD SITUATION INAustria is D esperate Copenhagen. — According to The Vossische Zeltung, the' mayor of Vi­ enna In a statement explaining the food situation, has said that last month a proclamation was issued to farmers requesting them to deliver a -certain amount'to large towns.

Diplomatic relations between the two governments have been suspended since April 20, 1917; when Turkey withdrew Abdul Hak Hugsein Bey, who had been acting as charge of the Turk­ ish embassy here since • the compul­ sory retirement of the regular ambas­ sador, which followed his open criti­ cism of the United States govern­ ment. Necessarily American Ambas­ sador Morgenthau was obliged to leavb Constantinople and since that time the relations between the two govern­ ments have been just short of actual formal enmity. Recently there have been vigorous demands in congress for a declaration 'f a state of war between the United States and Turkey and Bulgaria. GERMAN DESTROYERS AND SUBMARINES PENNED UP.

In the Alps the*AuBtrians have been unable further to advance their lines since their initial onslaught last week. Bhrerywhere from the Asiago plateau sector eastward to the Piave river all their attacks have quickly been re­ pulsed by the allied troops who, in their turn have 'delirered counter-at­ tacks, regained lost terrain, inflicted heavy casualties on the enemy and taken a large number of prisoners. AU along the Piave river, from the mountain passes through which the torrent -wends its way southward on its race to the Adpiatic sea, fierce fighting Ib going on, especially on the famous Zenson loop and farther south from Fossalta to the marsh country around Capo Sile, some 80 miles east of Venice. The Italian war office announces that the enemy everywhere is being held along the Piave. On the cru­ cial sector of the Montelto ■ plateau, which bars the way from the north­ east to the Venetian plains, the Ital­ ians have strengthened their positions on the northern edge of the plateau and repulsed two enemy attacks to advance on * the* northern border. Likewise to the south near Maserada and Candelu attempts by the Aus­ trians to effect new crossings of the Piave were frustrated with heavy losses.

INTERESTING HEARINGS AGAINST DEPENDANTS CHARGED WITH VIOLATION FOOD LAWS. DISPATCHES FBOHI RALEIGH Uaings and Happenings That Mark | the Progress of North Carolina Peo­ ple, Gathered Around the " State Capital. Raleigh. Concluding the conference with two interesting hearings against defend­ ants charged with violating the food laws, the city and county food admin­ istrators of North Carolina adjourned their meeting with a feeling that clos­ er co-operation and more efficient ad­ ministration of the food regulations will be direct -results of the confer­ ence. Mr. Charles Bamham, chief traffic manager of this division for the National FoocUAdministration, dis­ cussed transportation problems. From the report of the conference, the impression was gained that all soda fountains and candy manufactur­ers in North Carolina would be .re­ quired to clQse their places. This rul­ ing is applicable only to those who failed to file the required report and requisition for sugar certificates be­ fore June 10 and those who have sugar, or sugar certificates on hand who have complied with the ruling regard­ ing Sm filing of reports and requisi­ tions, will be permitted to continue business. Literally, all will be per­ mitted to contnue business but prod­ ucts requiring sugar cannot be man­ ufactured and the natural conclusion, reached at the conference, is That the soda fountains and candy manufac­ turers failin gto file reports and requi­ sitions, will be permitted to continue business. Literally all will be permit­ ted to continue business but. products requiring sugar cannot be manufac­ tured and the natural conclusion, reached at the conference, is that the soda fountains and candy manufac­ turers failing to file reports and requi­ sitions prior to June 10 would be forced to suspend this particular line of business. The two hearings were both viola­ tions reported by Mrs. A. F. Young, city food administrator of Winston- ..Red-Cross. Aids Rejeeted Soldiers, While the government is preparing through special hospittals to hare for all men In service who contract tuber­ culosis ’ the American Red Cross So­ ciety is joining ,with Anti-Tuberculo­ sis Associations and State Boards of Health in the effort to care for the men called for service who are re­ jected because affected with this dis­ ease. An agreement has just been perfected whereby the Bureau of Civ­ ilian Reuef of the American Red Cross in the Southern Division, including North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and Tennessee, will assume a. third of the expenses of providing the proper' care'and treatment of those rejected as tuberculous, the remaining cost above what can be, provided by the family to be'divided between State and. local agencies. ' - : The initial contact with returned tu­ berculous soldiers and rejected regis­ trants will be through the Home Serv­ ice Committee, which will investigate cases referred by the division office,' and the reports will be forwarded to either the State-Anti-Tuberculosis As­ sociations or State Board of Health. In North ■ Carolina the work will be done through the Bureau of Tubercu­ losis of the State Board of Health, under the direction of Dr. L. B. Mo Brayer. Through this agency an expert ex­ amination and diagnosis is to. be made and the proper care and treat­ ment outlined. In a majority of the cases it is expected that the patient will be able’ to arrange -to carry out the plan outlined for him. In those cases where he is not assistance of the Red Cross will be added to in­ sure a full opportunity for the recov­ ery of the patient The importance of the arrangement may be seen from the fact 'that al­ ready there have been 189 men from North Carolina discharged from train­ ing camps because of tuberculosis. Mdre than a thousand others have been rejected for service in this State for the same reason. Of the 189 sent back from camps nine are now at the State Sanatorium for treatment and another is expected to arrive with­ in the next few days. The others wilt be reached in conjunction with the Red Cross. Bureau of Markets Established. - News has just reached here that a bureau of markets has been establish­ ed in Washington, N.

PICKARD. Austria’s record of never winning when she goes into battle unaided by the Germans was magnificently sus­tained last week. Starting the long heralded offensive with nearly all the forces at his command, Field Marshal von Borevic made a desperate effort to force his way across the Piave and down into the Venetian plains, with Treviso, Bassano and then Verona as his objectives. His men were given 'postcard maps with the route and schedule marked, and were urged to do their utmost in order that they might get the plentiful food in the “promised land.” Approximately million Austrian soldiers assailed the Italian lines from Asiago to the Adri­ atic, but King Victor Emmanuel’: splendid army was everywhere ready to meet them. At the western or mountain end the enemy made no .progress at(. all, being mowed down In masses that fairly blocked the road­ ways and passes. AU attacks on the Asiago plateau, which. is of great' im­ portance because of Its easy ap­ proaches from the Austrian side, wgre beaten off by the British under Lord Cavan, and.the enemy’s attempts on Monte Grappa were no more suc­cessful. It was between these points, down the Brenta and Frenzela val­ leys, that the Austrlans hoped to'push the west point of a pincer’s move­ ment that should flank Treviso and the entire line to the coast. The high land at Montello was the scene of most sanguinary fighting and the enemy made some headway there, for a day or two, but gained little save a shocking casualty list. Further east, at various points, the Austrians were able to force crossings of the Piave by means of bridges construct­ ed under cover of gas and smoke shelling, but after getting across the troops found themselves In traps from which they could not escape with their, lives) for the batteries of the allies on the higher ground had them at their mercy. Only near the extreme eastern end of the line, be­ tween the Zenson loop and the Adria- a tic, did Borevic’s forces achieve any­ thing that resembled success. There they pushed far enough south of the Piave to reach the Fossalta canal,- and Vienna claimed this was crossed. Here the enemy was about ten miles from Venice, but the. resistance of the Italians was so determined that no anxiety was felt for that city’s safety. Before the week closed the enemy in that region had been driven back. Most of the pontoon bridges were swept away by the swollen Plave. —Rl— In.a word, the great Austrian offen­ sive, up to the close of the week, was an absolute failure and was admitted to be such by captured officers and by some of the Vienna newspapers. The Italian army, never in better condition than now, fought with Jhe utmost gallantry- and spirit, and was. ably aided by the BriUsh and French contingents. MenUon must be made, too, of the Americans, for an- esca- drille of American aviators, trained in Italy* went to the front -and gave notable, help In driving the Austrian aviators from the air. —fe— Defeat ini Italy may mean absolute disaster to the Austro-Hungarian em­ pire, for its heterogeneous peoples al­ ready are beginning to rebel against the rule that has brought them to the verge of starvation, has claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of their men, and has given them noth­ ing but false promises of victory. In many parts of the empire the dis­ tressed people are rising against the authorities, and 'In Vienna itself on. Wednesday a great and hungry mob looted shops, stoned the residence of the premier and even attacked the' .Hofburg palace, In protest against the reduction of the bread ration. The food controller is helpless, admitting that the empire’s wheat is exhausted and that the grain supplies from Rou- mania are smail and of inferior qual­ ity. In Lemburg, Budapest and Prague also there were serious food riots, and all through the empire signs were plentiful that the people were ready to revolt if they were not given a speedy peace and bread. It would appear that the time Is about ripe for the long predicted up­ rising of the oppressed nationalities of Austro-Hungary—the Bohemians, the southern Slavs and the Poles. The Germans expect and fear this event, and of course would step In to sup­ press it by force of arms. But even If it were not. wholly successful It would create a diversion In the midst of '4Mittel Enropa” that would do much to hasten the final victory of the allied nations over Germany. who wish to join the allies. Most of them.are armed and organized. We may yet have the chance to see these sturdy fighters, formerly our foes by compulsion, passing in triumph through the United States on their way to join the other armies of free­dom. . The senate committee on military affairs adopted an amendment to the army appropriation bin authorizing the president to' raise a volunteer legion of Slavic residents of the United States for service in “any field of ac­ tion.” Mr. Wilson approved the amendment Only one operation of moment took place on’ the western front last week. This was- a powerful assault on the allied troops guarding Reims, deliv­ ered by the army of the crown prince. About 40,000 Germans took part in the attack, which was preceded by si terrific bombardment. The enemy charged from the village of Vrigny, southwest of Reims, and all around the loop to La Pompelle, the fortified stronghold on the east. The struggle was violent In the extreme, but the Germans were everywhere repulsed with very heavy losses. Only in the Sillepry wood southeast of the city did the enemy gain a foothold, and prompt counter-attacks by the French threw him back from that to his old positions. A great many German prisoners were taken. They said they had been ordered to take Reims at any cost. The fact that the attack was not renewed by the crown prince was taken to indicate the exhaustion of bis troops. . . f e - Military .experts In France believe another battle will be begun ’soon by the Germans, possibly on the road to Calais, or between Montdidier and Chateau Thierry across the Oise and Alsne to the Marne. If they select the latter sector the Americans will again be In the thick .of the fighting. Those boys did not have a great deal to do last week, tbough.they carried out some successful raids and re­ pulsed every one made against their lines. From the south side- of the Marne they sent several patrols across the river in boats, in each instance killing numbers of the enemy and bringing back prisoners. Moreover, not a single German patrol has ever been permitted to cross the Marne to the American side. —Rb— The war department In Washington was strongly urged last week to send force of Americans to Italy, not only to help In the fighting but espe­ cially to demonstrate to ‘ the Italian Word was received that the Turks on June 14 ,occupied and looted Tabriz, the second city of Persia, took possession of the American and Brit­ish consulates there over the protests of the Spanish consul who was In charge of them, and sacked the Amer­ ican hospital, over which the Spanish flag was flying. If the report is veri­ fied, Turkey has committed an act of war against the United States, and a declaration of war by this country against the Porte may' be the result Many senators and representatives have favored such action for a long’ time ,and their position is strengthened by the recent occurrence. The formal inclusion of Bulgaria also among our enemies probhbly would follow imme­ diately. Thus would come to an‘end the incongruous state of affairs which has permitted the Turkish and Bul­ garian diplomats to remain in this country free to gather such informa­ tion as they could and transmit it to their allies and our enemies. The well informed have given up the hope that Turkey might be induced to with­ draw . from the war, since she has been given part of- the spoils of Rus­ sia. —P*— 'The submarines operating in the west Atlantic have sunk several more neutral vessels, but there is reason to believe that one or -two of them have been destroyed In encounters with armed steamers. A Venezuelan jour­ nalist who was driven from Caracas admits there are German U-boat bases: In Venezuela. The raids off the American coast are declared by American naval headquarters In Eng­ land to mean that the submarine cam­ paign is a failure, the enemy’s only chance of employing the limited num­ ber of his U-boats successfully being to concentrate their operations on the focal points of allied trade. • It was stated that today sufficient ton­ nage is available to meet allied de­ mands and it is constantly growing larger. The British make the welcome an­ nouncement that 21 German destroy­ ers and a large number of submarines qnd other craft are penned up in the Bruges canal locks as a result of the recent blocking operations at Zee- brugge. These vessels are constant­ ly subjected to bombing by the naval aviators. —fe— - The department of justice uncov­ ered last week a gigantic conspiracy between manufacturers and contrac­ tors’ agents to solicit government war IUHX im ilN BEs MIX-UP Of BMii For Seven Months Two Mol Minister to Wrong Off- spring.

She was the marvel and the ad­ miration, and also the puzzle of the household.

In west­ ern Siberia the Czecho-Slovafcs have joined forces with the'counter revolu­ tionists; Tomesk and other towns have been occupied and a government set up. At Kiev a great revolt has bro­ ken out; 40,000. armed and organized peasants are participating and the movement has spread to the Poltava and Tchernigov districts. There is much street fighting, and the revolu­ tionists . have destroyed artillery stores. • dreds of offices throughout the coun­ try were , raided and papers seized.

Synopsis--Fired by the sinking of the Lusitania, with the loss of American lives, Arthur Guy Empey, an American living In Jersey City, goes to England and enlists ns a private in the British' army. After a short experience as a recruiting officer In London, he ts sent to train­ ing quarters in France, where he first hears the sound of big guns and makes the acquaintance of "cooties.” After a brief period of ' training Empey’s company Is sent Into the front-line trenches. CHAPTER V. Mud, Rats and Shells.I must have slept for two or three hours, not the refreshing kind that re­ sults from clean sheets and soft pil­ lows, but the sleep that comes from cold, wet and sheer exhaustion. SaddeAly, the earth seemed to shake and a thunderclap burst In my ears. I opened my eyes—I was splashed all OTer with sticky mud, and men were picking themselves up from the bottom of the trench. The parapet on my left had toppled into the trench, completely blocking it with a wall of tossed-tip earth. The man on my left lay still. I rabbed the mud from my face, and an awful sight met my gaze—bis bead was smashed to a pulp, and his steel helmet was full of brains and blood. A German “Minnie” (trench 'mortar) had exploded In the next traverse. Men were digging into the soft mass of mud In a frenzy of haste. Stretcher-bear­ ers came up the trench on the double. After a few minutes of digging, three still, muddy forms on stretchers were carried down the communication trench to the rear. Soon they would be resting "somewhere in France,” with a little wooden cross over tbelr heads. Tbey had done their bit for king and country, had died without firing a shot, but their services were appreciated, nevertheless. Later on, I found out tbelr names.. They belonged to our draft. I was dazed and motionless. . Sud­ denly a shovel was pushed Into my hands, and a rough but kindly voice said: “Here, my lad, Ienma hand clearing the trench, but keep your bead down, and look out for snipers. One of the Fritz’s is a daisy, and he’ll get you if yotfre not careful.” Lying on my belly on the bottom of the trench, I filled sandbags with the sticky mud, they were dragged to my rear by the other men, and the work of rebuilding the parapet was on. The harder I worked, the better I felt Al­though the weather was cold, I was soaked with sweat. Occasionally a bullet would crack overhead, and a machine gun would kick up the mud on the bashed-ln para­ pet Ac each crack I would duck and shield my face with my arm. One of the older men noticed this action of nine, and whispered: "Don’t duck at the crack of a bul­ let, Yank; the danger' has passed—you never hear the one that wings yon. Always remember that if you are going to get it, you’ll get It, so never worry.” This made a great Impression on me at the time, and from then on, I adopt­ ed his motto, “If you’re going to get It, you’ll get it” It helped me wonderfully. I used it so often afterwards that some of my mates dubbed me, “If you’re going to get it you’ll get it.” • r After an hour’s hard work, all my nervousness left m?, and I was laugh­ ing and joking with the rest. At one o’clock, dinner came up In the form of a dixie of hot stew. I looked for my canteen. It had fallen off the fire step, and was half buried in the mud. The man on my left noticed this, and told the corporal, dishing out the rations, to put my. share In his mess.tin. Then he whis­ pered to me, “Always take care of your meBs tin, mate.” I had learned another maxim of the trenches. That stew tasted fine. I was as hungry as a bear. We had “seconds,” or another helping, because three of the men had “gone West,” killed by tte explosion of the German trench' mortar, and we ate their share, but still I was hungry, so I filled In witb bully beef and biscuits. Then I drained my water bottle. Later on I learned another maxim of the front line, “Go sparingly with your water.” The bully beef made me thirsty, and by tea time I was dying for a drink, but my pride would not allow me to ask my motes for water. I was fast learning the etblcs of the trenches. That night I was put on guard with an older man. We stood on the Are step with our bands over the toft peer­ ing out into No Man’s Land. It was nervous work for me, but the other fel­low seemed to take it as part of the bight’s routine. Then something Shot past my face. Uy heart stopped beating, and I dtfcked ttr haad below Qia parapet, A soft chuckle from my mate brought me to my senses, and I feebly asked, “For heaven’s sake, what was that?” He answered. “Only a rat taking a promenade along the sandbags.” I felt very sheepish. Abont every twenty minutes the sen­ try In the next traverse would fire a star shell from his HaTe pistol. The “plop” would give me a start of fright I never got used to this noise during my service in the trenches. I would watch the arc described by the star shell, and then stare into No Man’s Land waiting for it to burst. In Its lurid light the barbed wire and stakes would b« silhouetted against Its light like a latticed window. Then darkness. Once, out in front of our wire, I heard a noise and saw dark forms moving. My rifle was lying across the sandbagged parapet. I reached for it, and was taking aim to fire, when my mate grasped my arm, and whispered, “Don’t-fire.” He challenged In a low voice. . The reply came back Instantly from the dark forms: “Shut your blinkin’ mouth, yon bloomin’ Idiot; do you want us to click it from the Bodies?” Later we learned.that the word, "No challenging or firing, wiring party out In front,” had been given to the sentry on our right, but he had failed to pass it down the trench. An officer had over­ heard our challenge and the reply, and immediately put the offending sentry under arrest. The sentry clicked twenty-one days on the wheel, that is, he received twenty-one days’ field pun­ ishment No. I, or “crucifixion,” Tommy terms It This consists ,of being spread-eagled on the wheel of a limber two hours a day for twenty-one days, regardless of the weather. During this period, your rations consist of bully beef, biscuits and water. A few months later I met this sentry and be confided to me that since tieing “crucified,” he bad never failed to pass the word down the trench when so or­ dered. pi view of the offense, the above punishment was very light In that falling to pass the word down a trench may mean the loss of many lives, and the spoiling of some impor­ tant enterprise In No Man’s Land. It was dot long after thn Ottt t imil one Qt the "20 lying.”: I soon> hit the bay and was fast asleep, even my friends the “cooties? failed to disturb me. The next morning at about Six o’clock I was awakened by the lane* corporal of our section, informing mo that I bad been detailed as mess or* derly, and to report to the cook and give him a band. I helped him make the fire, carry water from an old well, and fry the bacon.. Llds of dixies are used to cook the' bacon in. After breakfast was cooked, I carried a dixie of hot tea and the lid full of bacon to our section, and told the corporal that breakfast was ready. He looked at me In contempt and then sbouted, “Break­ fast up, come and get It I” I Immedi­ ately got wise to the trench parlance, and never, again informed that “Break­ fast was served.” , It didn’t take long for the Tnm m tmi to answer this call. Half ‘ dressed, they lined up with Qielr canteens and I dished out the tea. Each Tommy carried In his hand a thick slice of bread which had been issued with the rations the night before. Then I had the pleasure of seeing them dig Into the bacon with their dirty fingers. The allowance was one slice per man. The late ones received very small slices. As each Tommy got bis share he Im­ mediately disappeared into the billet. Pretty sdtin about fifteen of .hem made a rush.to the cookhouse, each carrying a huge slice of bread. These slices they dipped into the bacon grease which was stewing over the fire. The last man Invariably lost out I was the last man. After breakfast our section carried their equipment into a field adjoining the billet and got busy removing the trench mud therefrom, because at 8:48 a. m., they had to fall In for inspection and parade, and woe betide the man who was unshaven, or had mud on his uniform. Cleanliness is next to godli­ ness in the British army, and Old Pep­ per must have been personally ac­ quainted with St Peler. Our drill consisted of closenirder formation, which lasted until noon, During this time we bad two ten-mln- ufe breaks for rest and no sooner the word, “Fall out for ten minutes,” was 'given then each Tommy got out a tag and lighted It Fags are issued every Sunday morn­ ing, and you generally get between twenty and forty. The brand gen­ erally issued, is the “Woodbine.” Some­ times we are lucky and get “Gold- flakes," “Players;” or “Bed Hussars.” Occasionally an- Issue of “Life Bays” comes along. Then the older Tommies immediately get busy on the recruits and trade these, for “Woodbines” or “Goldflakes.” A recruit only has to be stuck once in this manner, and then he ceases to be a recruit There is a CHAPtER VI. "Back .of the Line.” Our tour in the front-line trench lasted four days, and then we were relieved by the brigade. Going down the communication treneh we were In a merry mood, al­ though we were cold and wet, and every bone in our bodies ached. It makes a lot of difference whether you are “going In” or “going out” At the end of the communication trench, limbers were waiting on the road for us. I thought we were going to ride back to rest billets, but soon found out that the only time an In fan try man rides is when be -is wounded and Is bound for the base or Blighty. These limbers carried our reserve ammunition and rations. Our march to rest billets was thoroughly enjoyed by me. It seemed as if I were on furlough, and was- leaving be­ hind everything that was disagree­ able and horrible. Every recruit, feels this way after being relieved from the trenches. We marched eight kilos 'and then halted in front of a French estamlnet. The captain gave the order to turn out on each side of the road and wait bis return. Prettysoonhecame back and told B company to occupy billets 117, 118 and 119. Billet 117 was an old stable which had previously been occupied by cows. About four feet in front of the entrance was a huge ma­ nure pile, and the odor from it was anything but pleasant.' Using my flashlight I stumbled through the door. Just before entering I observed a white sign.reading: “Sitting,50, lying 20,” but,’ at the time, its significance did. not strike me. Next morning I asked the - sergeant major what it meant' He nonchalantly answered: “That’s.some of the work of the.B. Au M. C. (Boyal Army Medical corps). It simply means that In case of an at­ tack, this billet will accommodate fifty wounded'who are able to sit up and take notice, or twenty stretcher cases-” . V .

He smokes under all condi­ tions, except when unconscious or when he Is reconnoitering In No Man’s Land at night Then, for obvious rea­ sons, he does not care to have a light­ ed cigarette In his mouth. Stretcher bearers carry fags for wounded Tommies. When a stretcher bearer, arrives alongside of a Tommy who has been hit the following conver­sation usually takes place: Stretcher bearer—“Want a fag? Wher* are yon hit?” Tommy looks up and answers^ “Yes. In the leg.” After dismissal from parade, we re* turned to our billets and I had to get busy Immediately with the dinner is­ sue.

He tells ,the story in the next installment (TO BE CONTINUED.) : Make Light of Heavy Loads.

Men who bave performed in action deeds of most distinguished personal bravery and self-sacriftce above and beyond all call of duty; so conspicu­ous as clearly to distinguish them for gallantry and intrepidity above their comrades; which involve risk of life or the performance of more than or­dinarily hazardous service, the omis­sion of which would not justly sub­ ject the person to censure for short- : coming or failure in the performance of his duty. The distinguished-service cross is awarded for gallantry- in action to any­ one who may distinguish himself in ac- • tion by extraordlnaty heroism in con­nection with military operation against an armed enemy, under cir­ cumstances which do not justify the award of the medal of honor. The distinguislied-servtce medal is awarded for exceptionally meritorious service to the government in connec­ tion with operations against an armed enemy. Prices quoted for June on merchan­ dise in the huge general stores op­ erated by the quartermaster corps in France show that members of the ex­ peditionary forces may secure goods at prices lower than retail prices in effect in this country. June quotations are: Half-pound package chocolate, 11 cents; can of cherries, 24 cents; can of cocoa, 14 cents; pocket comb, 6 cents; can of corn, 10 cents; shaving brushes, 15 cents; tooth brushes, 12 cents; can stringless beans, 10 cents; bottle gin­ ger ale, 9 cents; cun plum pudding, 32 cents; standard Su safety razors, $1.75; pair shoe laces, 3 cents; can talcum powder, 0 cents; pound eut-lo;if sugar, 10 cents; spool cotton thread, 4 cents; two-ounce package smoking tobacco, 7 cents; hand soap, ;1 cent; can lob­ sters, 25 cents; sliiiving soap, 4 cents; bottle' Worcestershire sauce, 20 cents; linen handkerchiefs, 16 cents; pint bottle olives, 23 cents; can green peas, 10 cents; shoe polish, S cents. Although the men are issued ample rations the quartermaster stores are opened to the enlisted men for the pur­pose of permitting them to add to their menu or to satisfy individual desires for dainties or delicacies. The highest grade of merchandise only is carried in stock so that tlie men may be sure of having the best, whether in rations or extra supplies. Meats, groceries, fish, vegetables, no­ tions, tpiiet articles, smokers’ articles, and scores of miscellaneous items are included in the published price lists. These lists are made available to each company and purchases may be made either for cash or on credit. Among the staples to be found In these chain stores are; Fresh beef, ham, bacon, turkey, poratoes, rice, liominy, ' beans, onions, coifee, tea, sugar, cheese, cocoa, butter, and evap­ orated fruits.

In one army camp there are 55 bat-, talion baseball teams, besides the head­ quarters, staff, brigade and division teams. More than 800 penalties for violation of rules and regulations governing li­ censed dealers in foodstuffs have been Imposed during tlie past ten months by the food administration. About 150 companies and individuals have been ordered to quit business in licensed commodities for ajimited or unlimited period, and over 500 have voluntarily made a money payment, usually to tilt Red Cross, or have temporarily ab­ stained from doing business ratliui han risk ,calling down more drastic iojtlties. The “overseas cap” now being is­ sued to soldiers in'the expeditionary forces matches the uniform In color, has a very low crown, and ha? no brim or peak. It is so made that it may be folded and carried In a pocket When American forces entered the trenches it was found that the brims of their campaign hats interfered with sighting through trench periscopes and that in the cases of tail men the high crowns could be seen above the para­ pets. The new cap is so low that it permits the men to move with prac­ tically the same freedom.as when they are hatless. The trench helmet can be worn over it. Only soldiers who have been with the ,expeditionary forces wear the cap. According to reports from France new regulations provide that officers shall wear their insignia of rank on the cap, and enlisted men place on it the button prescribed to be worn on the left side of the collar of the service coat 'The total cost for National army cantonments ivas ¥140,726,473, accord­ing to a statement by the war depart­ment.

This total is exclusive of. three operations posting $106,000,000, under the direct control of the ord­ nance department..

Prepara­ tions ,Kre being made to start work on 117 new operations which are expected to cost $700,000,000.. Two out of every 1,000 men In the army have to have their shoes made to order. In several camps entire regi­ ments have had their feet measured, and hundreds of drawings were made of odd shapes and sizes. At the pres­ ent time the army uses between 2,000,- 000 nnd 3,000,000 pairs of shoes a month. ‘ Facts brought out In tests seem to prove that men In the present army are larger than those serving In previ­ous wars. Not only Is this shown by the larger sizes of shoes called for, but by the larger sizes of outer clothing that Is being required. Records In the quartermaster corps show that a size larger, on the average, Is being de­ manded In blouses, shirts and breeches than have ever before been used.. As a result of the studies'at the front, methods have been developed whereby more than 80. per cent of the wounded, who originally remained at the military hospitals for months, are now cured and returned to the forces in three or four weeks. In order that army surgeons stationed at camps, cantonments, and other military hos­ pitals In this country may thoroughly understand the-latest treatment of war wounds, the army medical department has had established special classes of instruction to which are sent selected oflicers who, upon completion of their courses, return to their own hospitals and instruct other surgeons In these methods. “Duty to one’s country does not end on the parade ground, nor even on the battlefield, but consists In doing every­thing In one’s power to help win the war,”'says an order issued by General Pershing, a copy of which has been re­ ceived by the war department • “To write home frequently and reg­ularly to keep in constant touch with family and friends Is one of the sol­ dier’s most Important duties.

The engineer corps is conducting a campaign for 2.000 more commissioned officers, the examining board making a tour of the principal cities of the country to make examination readily available for ap­ plicants. The .$120,000,000 allotted for the plants is expected to give the govern­ ment a smokeless powder production capacity equal to all other American plants combined. In construction of the plants it was found necessary to build a new town on each site to house the employees, and approximately 0,000 different buildings were erected. Streets were 'pot down and sewered, power plants constructed, and stores and hospitals built. Approximately 35.000 men worked on construction and about 30,000 will eventually be engaged In the actual production of powder. Thousands of women are employed In the United States gas-mask plant.

Writ* for Freo Bre Book, " G IE RKMKDY CO., CHICAGO Toulouse Gander. ard breeds there is the so-called Mon­ grel goose, which is a hybrid made by crossing one of these varieties, or the common goose, with wild geese. Crosses of the varieties of geese,' espe­cially of the Toulouse and Embden, are occasionally made, but without any apparent gain. The Toulouse, Emb­ den, Chinese, and African are easily the most popular breeds of geese in this country, the first two greatly lead­ ing the other breeds. AU economic breeds of geese are kept primarily for the production of flesh and feathers; and although their eggs are occasion­ ally used for culinary purposes on the farm, there is no demand for them for food purposes in the markets.The Toulouse, the largest of the standard breeds of geese, is a good layer, producing from 20 to 35 eggs a year, is docile, grows rapidly, and makes a good market bird. However, its dark pinfeathers make it a slightly less attractive market goose than the Embden. The Embden, a large white goose, slightly smaller and with somewhat longer legs than the Toulouse, is only a fair layer and is usually less prolific than the Toulouse. This breed has white pin feathers, is a rapid grow­ er, and matures early. The African, a gray goose with a distinct brown shade, about the size of the Embden, is. a good layer and makes a good market goose, although it has the objectionable dark pin feathers. It is a rapid grower and matures early. There are two standard varieties of Chirese geese, the Brown and the White. Both varieties mature early and are said to be prolific layers and rapid growers, but shy and rather dif­ ficult to handle. The wild goose Is bred to some ex­ tent In captivity, and the young are sold to hunters,to use as decoys. The wild gander is used to cross with either the common or the purebred goose, producing the so-called Mongrel goose. This Mongrel goose is highly prized as a market goose, but is sterile and cannot breed. The Egyptian goose is a small, brightly colored goose, kept for orna­ mental purposes and rarely seen in this country. It resembles the wild goose in shape and weighs two pounds less In euch class.

The beaver Is a very scarce animal in Norway, only living in small colo­ nies at a few places in the country. It is absolutely forbidden to kill the animal. The farmers, however, claim that the beavers, do great damage to their forest's and have now asked the government for right to kill them off whenever it can be proved that they are doing damage. If not allowed to kill the animals the farmers will ask the government to reimburse them for the damage done to their property. Cuticura for Sore Hands.

First Fiction Known. The oldest work of fiction extant is thought to be the "Tale of Two Broth­ ers,” written 3,200 yesirs ago by the Theban scribe Ennaha, librarian of the palace of King Menepthah, the sup­ posed Pharaoh of the Exodus. The tale, it appears, was written for the entertainment Ofi the crown prince, who subsequently reigned as Seti II. His name appears In two places in the manuscript, probably the only surviv­ ing autograph signature of an Egypt­ ian king. This piece of antique fiction, written on nineteen sheets of papyrus in a bold hieratic hand, was purchased in Itaiy by Mme. d’Orblney; who sold it in 1857 to the authorities of the British museum, where it is now known as the D’Orbiney papyrus.

(Prepared by the United States Depart­ment of Agriculture.) . It should be borne In . mind that an increase In poultry production is sought not for this year alone, but for the en­ tire duration of the war. Jt is not urged that novices without experi­ ence engage In poultry keeping on a large scale. That is recognized as a poor poUcy at any time and is more likely to lead to failure and eventual decrease than to a steady and perma­ nent increase in production. What is urged is that those who are already poultry growers to some extent and possess the information and abiUty necessary successfuUy to increase their stock and production should do so. Beginning With Poultry. If the beginner has had experience In poultry keeping, it will be all right to purchase eggs and start with set­ ting them. Otherwise he should begin with the fowls and thus gain some knowledge of caring for poultry before attempting to raise chickens. for Tfceir Troubles.

"LET US HAVE PEACE.” A monster is slowly raising its head throughout this country which, unless beaten down Immediately, will become the most dangerous enemy that the cause of civilization has yet been called upon to face. This evil that threatens Is to be found In the desire for peace at whatever cost It Is the old “peace at any price’’ canker raised to the Nth power. It is easy to dispose of this, as yet furtive but steadily increasing, desire for peace by pinning to it the label of German propaganda; But this will not suffice. That the world Is war weary is only too true. Prance and England have had this blood sickness on the part of their people to contend with for a long time. Its effect on Russia has been demonstrated. We, In America, have but com­ menced our share of suffering and sac­ rifice. If this revulsion of feeling Is allowed to spread before the road is half traveled there can be no doubt as to our destination. Open hostility to England, frank sympathy with Ger­ many, “conscientious” or other objec­ tions to war, are as nothing in their effect upon our part in the struggle and the destiny of the world—which now admittedly rests upon our shoul­ ders—compared to this desire for the war’s ending simply that peace may reign. Peace today, with Germany un­ defeated, would be a living menace to America as a nntion and to every man, woman and child who wish to continue to be known as Americans. 1848-1918 Short Stops. B et the E aiser and other rulers of the w arring Dations are glad they did n’t live in the good old days when the king m arched a t the head of the arm y. A few m ore disturbances like th a t in the aeroplane departm ent and we will have to have an arm y of investigatois, too, W hen this thought daw ns upon our D em ocra­ tic friends we believe the pay roll possibilities will reconcile them to th e probe. T he greatest national service w hich any political party can ren­ d er a t this tim e is, to urge the peo­ ple of the U nited States to iededi- cate them selves to the cause ot A m erica iu w ar a n d : iu peace, to establish them selves for all tim e to come on th e bedrock of the prin­ ciples of representative govern­ m ent.

People are often very much disappoint­ ed to find that their family- physician is away from home when they most need his services. Diseases like pnin in. the stomach and bowels, colic and Diarahoea require prompt treatment, 'and' have' in many instances proven fatal before med­ icine-couid be procured or a physician summoned. The right'way is to-keep at hand a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic and Diarahoe Remedy. ,No physician can prescribe a better medicine for these dis­ eases. By having it in the iionse you es­ cape much pain and suffering and ail risk. Buy it now it may save life. LOOKING AHEAD. In the minds of the citizens of a de­ mocracy the Idea that service is due to the government from every one must 1)6 firmly implanted or the en­ franchised cease to be representative of such a government. The selective draft answers the pur­ pose of this service, from a military standpoint, during the war we are at present engaged in, but largely be­ cause of the fact that we have time to prepare while our allies combat thp enemy. We must look to the.future and the possibilities of a war declared j upon us when we will have Uo ally, 8 Should this occur selective conscrlp-? tlon would be of no avail. Accepting j. the fact that the citizen of a democ- 5 B ack in th e forties, w hen San Francisco w as tw enty days from N ew Y ork and E urope w as another planet, cities w ere m ostly interested in them seives. N ew spapers had space only for th e city hall reporter, w eddings and o ther local happenings. B ut as A m erican life expanded in to national, and then international com pass, people dem anded new s from other cities and countries. A nd so, in 1848, th e publishers of a num ber of leading A m erican new spapers form ed a m utual organization w hich w as nam ed the A ssociated P ress. In effect, these newspapers combined their newsgathering staffs, supplying each ether with the important news, each within his bwn particular territory. Later were added special Associated Press correspondents and foreign correspondents. Incidentally, a vast organization was set on foot to transmit the dispatches over the telegraph wires. F ro m th is beginning h as grow n th e g reat A ssociated P ress of to-day. Its m em bership reaches into alm ost every city and tow n of im portance in th e country—- 1,080 are on th e rolls. I t com m ands th e services of 52,000 special correspondents, and its foreign corre­ spondents cover every city in th e civilized w orld.
