The Prayer Bell. years ago I saw a flue, piece of •ail called The “ Angelus Bella.” I (iid not hear the bells’ but the’' joMSiinlsin the field stood with (,owed heads—the attitude was very impressive, but I was not im pressed. A few mouths ago .the tjiriholiu church in Salisbury put in the belfry some,' “ Angel us ,’jells,” and three times- each day they call the devout Catholica to prayer. But at ? a. m. some of the neighbors suddenly .awakened from their slumbers felt like say ing “darn the bell.” (Yes, Mr. K-titor, I felt like something else rather than praying.) Thiea our good Episcopalian Governor, foi lowed by several mayors have adopted various and sundry calls Io prayer. Town bells, t church Iiel Ir, electric light hashes and oth ers, have been drafted to call the people and now the International Association of Botary Clubs have •adopted the call for ‘‘a one minute prayer at 11 o’clock every moro- iug for the success of American arms and the triumph of America’s cause.” Thi9 is about the tiniest limit ever set for prayer in the ca ialogiie of calls. Not a word about Ibe glory of Gop or the spread 01 bis kiugdoui. Not a word about praising His great name. This whole lmsiuese smacks of Boinan- ism and tl e rankest of ritualism. ItIookslike somebody wants to sell mu everything in the line ol religion to Bome or her first bom, aud the pope (I never honor him nor the devil with a capital) ’ is laughing at those in authority who jump at the tempting bait of bells. The Jesuit tricks,^are -Ta*- more; widespread and dangerous than the ‘’Alien enemy”, whom we lightly watch. This prayer bell business, also, smacks of the Union of church and state. The Governor has no right 1» call anybody to prayer by vir tue ol his office. The call to prayer is the call of every individ uni need. Every Iile has its mil Hons of calls more appealing than any appointment of staie. Iu thi> matter of prayer the soul has been mule fiee and the sta e has - no right o dictate to anybi dy when mid v. h-ai to pray for. Uuder the pretext of war the state is rueddl' iug too much with the individual and the church. The state has absolutely nothing to do with call ing the people to prayer. The war gives no right to violate the fuudaiiientiil rights of soul liberty. Ihe Great King of kings ha9 made the mutter of almsgiving piayer and IaHtiug the essential of the in dividual's ieligion and none of the authoiities of the state have a right- to interfere.

Some of the preachers who have preached the most patriotism have excused themselves when the- call catne'to serve their govern ment—preachiug patriotism, but slackers in practice. Much of the -patriotism now preached is mere lip-seivice for popular applause for newspaper puffs for the purpose of getting a political pull “Talk is cheap” but it costs something to serve.

It is ap bearing regularly in the pre83 ol (be country “as the period of elect ions approaches.” The use of this Sentiment in the Democratic press “as..election approaches” suggests the motive.

Yiie i Ci inan retreat continues un- abated. r.-iih tlie aIlles everywhere in bot pursuit. tpareiitly the situation now has resolved itself into a race for the northern bank of the Alsne river by the Germans, who have been evicted from strategic positions along the Vesle river, in the center of the line and directly east of Rheims, which seemingly renders necessary that they put the Aisne between themselves and their pursuers as quickly as possible in order to escape further large losses of men made prisoners. Just how large this bag of cap tives is at present cannot be reckon ed. but unofficial advices from Paris assert that when the figures are made public they will thrill the allied world. General Pershing in his com munique says the Americans alone have taken 8,400 prisoners and, in addition, 233 guns.' After hard fighting the Americans and French have succeeded in taking from the Germans the important town of Fismes. once Germany’s great ammunition and supply depot, midway on the railway between Soissons and Rheims, while to the east at a num ber oi places along the Vesle river the French have crossed the stream, driving the enemy northeastward. East of Soissons allied trops have negotiated the passage of the Aisne to the northern bank of that stream , where they are in a position to harass the enemy as he. endeavors to straigt- en out his line in conformity with that running northeastward. So fast as has been the retreat of the Germans in the center that al ready some element of their forces have succeeded In reaching the north ern bank of the Alsne and getting numbers of their big guns across with them. All through the salient towns are still ablaze behind the retreating German, and even corn fields have been set afire in order to prevent the allied troops from garnering the rip ened crop. - '• TVith the river at freshet and the Germans unable to ford- it, they stood with their backs to it and gave battle for their lives. A majority of them were killed and the remainder were made prisoners. One of the most im portant manuevers north of the Vesle was the penetration by the French to the village of LaNeuvillette which re leases the German hold on the north ern outskirts of Rheims and seeming ly delivers the cathedral city from the German menace. SPEEDY ENACTMENT OF DRAFT EXTENSION MEASURE Washington.—Legislation to extend the selective service act to all men between the ages of 18 and 45, as recommended by the w ar department, will be introduced in both houses of Congress at the semi-weekly recess sessions. According to plans of con gressional leaders, spending their va cation here, the bill, which will be identical as introduced in each house, will be referred to the senate and house military a:airs committees, of which Senator Chamberlain and Rep resentative Dent are the respective chairmen. Though the bouse does not reassem ble until August 19 and the senate on August 24, it is expected that the draft extension bills will be enacted speed ily. Chairman Dent, of the house mili tary affairs commtitee, said he would call his committee together- as soon as the house reassembles and hear ings are held. GERMAN U-BOAT MAKES FORAY IN NOVA SCOTIAN WATERS Halifax, N. S.—Three American schooners were sunk by German sub marines off Seal Island, Tarmonth county, on the Nova Scotia coast. The crews landed on the Nova Scotian coast. The commander of the subma- tine told an American skipper that be had sunk more Am erican: schoon ers hailing from Boston and Glouces ter recently. He did not give the names of the vessels. GENERAL PERSHING GIVEN CROSS LEGION OF HONOR Paris.—General 3.

LIME NOTABLE GAIN8 OF GROUND AND TREMENDOUS LOSSES BY EN EMY MARK FIGHTING. S M PL1SHT OF GERMANS •Foe Is Fighting Stubbornly Biit to No Avail; AllIes Have Taken iyiore Than 34,000 Prisoners. After a short period of relative calm on the S6i8Bqns-Rhbims-salient the central and western sections of the battle front again have been the Scenes of mighty struggles. On both sectors the allied forced have achieved notable gains of ground which, observed on the war maps, seemingly place the [German armies in front of them in precarious positions. In battle's extending from the region immediately south of Soissons to the northwest of Fere En Tardenois and southwest of the last named town over the upper portion of the left branch of the “V” salient running ten miles eastward from NeBles to Ville En Tardenois and with St. Gemme as its southern base, America, French and British troops have pushed hack the armies of the German crown prince. Northwest of FeA the entire elbow of the line where it turned eastward along the nor the. n bank of the Ourcq has been blotted out, making the line a straight one from Fere to Harteunes and giving the allies much better ground over which to work in further outflanking Soissons on the southeast and for pressing on toward Fismes. The most important gain, however, was on the upper western point of the "V,” southeast of Fere. Here the village of Cierges and the Meuniere wood were taken, a maneuver which places the Germans at the bottom of the "V” at St. Gemme in a seemingly precarious plight, for from the wood and the village the allied guns will be able to rake the Germans, if they northward, their only avenue of es cape, of an enfilading fire. Through the capture of the Meuniere wood, the width of the "V" from the fringes of the forest of Rontigay on the east, has been out down relatively to four miles. SECOND BATTLE OF MARNE SEEMS PRACTICALLY AT END New York.—Despite minor fluctua tions in the immediate future, such as remains -possible after every simi lar conflict has reached its real term, the second battle of the Marne has ended. It was practically over last Sunday when the Germans began to take root in the hills north of the Ourcq and south of the valley of the Cerise about Soissons and of the Andre west of Rheims. Boehm’s army has found at least a temporary halting place on this front, as did Kluck’s a little further to the north after the retreat from the Marne four years ago. The largest number of divisions which have been reported as fighting in the defeated army is 71, and there have been other estim ates smaller, but not m aterially smaller. Three quar ters of a million men is perhaps a fair appraisal of the. fighting strength of the Germans at the Marne, at least a quarter less than were used in the first battle of the Marne, and compar ing with 80 divisions used in the bat tle of Picardy in March. Of their forces engaged the Germans have lost between a quarter and a third, from 200,000 to 250,000, upwards of 500 guns - and a mass of war material, which has not yet been tabulated, but Is known to be enormous. In the 14 lays of the Foch counter-offensive ‘he Germans have retired something like an average of ten miles on a front of 50, with a maximum of 15, and have thus evacuated more ground than they have surrendered on the paorrow of any battle In. the -west; save the first Marne, and from a third to a half as much as was involved in the famouB Hindenburg retreat of March and April, 1917. PRESENT LULL IS INDICATION OF FIERCE STRUGGLE—MAY BE GIN AT ANY MOMENT. THE IjNE GREST OBJECT To Kill as Many of the Other is Prime Object of Opposing Forces; Field Marshal Assassinated. • . Washington.—An odd calm fell over the Aisne-Marne battle area with only the thunder of the guns to tell of new and more terrible guits of the war storm to come. Paris and Berim both noted it. The infantry had paused for breath, -while the artillery pounded new roads of advance for General Foch’s victorious armies. The victory was given new signifi cance by General March, chief of staff. Putting aside the reserve with which he hitherto has commented on the wider aspects of the battle, General -March told the newspaper men at his mid-week conference that each army was now bent on the-destruction of the other; all lesser strategy objec tives had been swept away on both sides. The mission of eachis to destroy the fighting power' of the other, it is the ultim ate'm ilitary ob jective that both are now seeking and there can be no halting short of the goal “The objective of each army is the other army,* each one of them wants to kill as many of the other as pos sible. The chief of staff had prefaced this new conceptiin of the great struggle with a careful outline of the battle positions, showing that since last Sat urday another ten miless had been cut out of the length of the battle line by allied successes. It is now barely 54 miles around the flattened salient In which the enemy has massed vir tually a million men as against .74 miles when the counter-assault was set in motion. From Chateau-Thierry, the Americans have made the maxi mum advance, covering 14 miles to reach the positions where they rested. GERMAN GENERAL IS ASSASSINATED BY RUSSIAN Amsterdam.—Field Marshal von Elchorn, the German commander in the Ukraine, and his adjutant were killed by a bomb in Kiev says an of ficial announcement received here from the Ukrainian capital. The bomb was thrown at the men while they were driving to their head quarters from the Casino. The field m arshal's adjutant is named Captain von Dressier. The assassin of Field Marshal von Eichorn was a lad of 23. He declar ed at ihe inquiry held after the crme, the advices state, that he came , from the province of Ryazan; adjacent to Moscow, on orders from a communist committee,to kill the field marshal. The bomb which killed the field and the adjutant was thrown from a cab which drove close to their carriage as they were approaching the field m arshal’s residence. The assasin and cab driver have been arrested. CONTROL OF TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE LINES TAKEN OVER LARGE BODIES OF GERMANS ARE FLEEING NORTHWARD" W ith the French Army In 'France. —W ith the fall of darkness fighting continued bewteen the allies and the Germans on the western side of. the Soissone-Rheims salient. Allied ob servers reported that bodies of Ger mans were fleeing precipitately north ward- along the 'road leading from Lau- hoy, which lies about midway between Soissons and Fere-Eh-Tardenois for the first time allied reserves are said to outnumber those of enemy. FRENCH TAKE GREAT BOOTY FOLLOWING OP HUN RETREAT London1-T h e booty "captured by the French In following up the Ger man retreat from the Marne included a large amount of bridging m aterial which the Germans had collected just north of the 'Marne. It is pointed out that the intention of the Germans to effect the passage of the Hver in great strength and drive in the direction of Paris is thus indicated. • W ashington.—Control of telephone and telegraph lines were taken over by the.postoffice department and their operation placed under the general su pervision of a special committee creat ed for the purpose by Postm aster Gen eral Burleson. Mr. Burleson announced that until further notice the companies, will con tinue operation in the ordinary course through the regular channels and that all officers and employes will continue in the pLrformance of their present duties of the saine terms of employ ment. The plan is, however,.to co-or dinate the facilities of the VaHouB companies to the best interest of the public and the stockholders. BIG LOCOMOTIVE ORDER FOR MILITARY RAILROADS W ashington.—The war department has ordered 510 locomotives for mili tary railroads in-France from the Bald win Locomotive W orks ' at a- total cost of about 125,000,000, it was an nounced.' About 10,000 freight cars for service in France, costing about $18,000,000 will be ordered within a few days.. The locomotives will be of the American mogul consolidation type weighing-270,000 pounds and will, cost about $50,00Q each. COAL IN BELGIUM IS NOW SCARCEST ARTICLE Havre, FTance.—Coal, which before the w ar was the basis of Belgium’s prosperity is how the scarcest article in Belgium—for the Belgians. The year’s production of coal was 23,000,- 000 tons and 150,000 men were em ployed in the mines, before the Ger man invasion: Now Germany is tak ing all the coal, and the Belgian gov- Tnm ent is wondering'how the civil- ’an population will keep warm nexi » inter. ’ BITTER FIGHTING CONTINUES BETWEEN AMERICAN AND GERMAN FORCES. FHENOH ALSO MOVE FOHWiIRD French Troos on Both Side of Fighting Front Also Move Forward for . Goodly Gains, American troops fighting north of the Oomcq river in the Soissons*. Rheims salient have enlarged their brilliant victory of Monday at Sergy, Where they cut to pieces divisions of Germany’s picked troops and took and held the village against counter-at tacks. Notwithstanding continued heavy opposition by gunsr machine guns and large numbers of the enemy, soldiers from the middle western and eastern states drove their line northward from Sergy Tuesday for a distance of about two miles and were resting at night on the slopes approaching the woods beyond the town-of Nesles. W here they stood at last accounts, the Amer icans formed the apex of the long line running across the salient ' While' the bitter fighting was in progress between the Americans and Germans, the French troops on both sides of the fighting front also moved forward for goodly gains northeast of Fere-En-Tardenois and east of Sergy. In the Nesles forest the Germans are holding strong positions, from which they are .shelling, but thus far ineffectively, the menacing allied line before them. Prussian guards and Bavarians were In the thick of the fighting throughout Tuesday, but again they were out-maneuvered and outfought by the Americans and again suffered heavy casualties. The Germans apparently are on the eve of attempting to end their retreat from the Soissons-Rheims salient and turning and offering frontal battle in force to the entente allied armies. The day of rear guard actions seems drawing to a close. Violent counter offensive measures against their an tagonists already are In progress. BATTLE OF TH EMARNE HAS ENTERED NEW STAGE Washington.—The second battle of the Marne has entered a new phase. Both French and German official statem ents tonight reflect the increas ed. fury of the fighting, for several days past, in dictating to officials here that a new crisis is approaching. The decision cannot long be delayed. It was not clear whether the enemy had reached a line on which he pro posed td halt his withdrawal. The general trend of his present front along the irregular line that noxi forms the bottom of the Aisne-Marne salient was regarded by most observ ers, however, as not representing posi tions of such nature as would lend themselves to a determined effort to bring the Anglo-Freneh-American forces to a halt. THRICE IN FOUR YEARS GERMANS FAIL IN WEST New York.—Three times in four years the Germans have undertaken to achieve a decision in the western field. Three different commanders, Moltke, the younger, Falkenhayn and Ludendroff have essayed to solve the great problem. Moltke and Ludenorff failed at the Marne, Falkhenhayn at Verdun. Each of the earlier failures cost' the Germans the initiative on the west front. It remain? now to be seen" what will be the effect of the third defeat. We are bound to recognize, too, that in each case the German failure has been the result of the same miscal culation, a false appraisal of the con dition alike of the French army and the French people. In each case the German high . command undertook operations which could only -be under taken^ In the presence of a beaten foe. CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE HAS ARRIVED IN LONDON London.—The naval affairs commit tee of the house of representatives, headed by Chairman Padgett, has ar rived In London after an uneventful voyage on an American battleship. The. committee was met by representa tives of the BHtsh admiralty and oth er officials and before preceding to London, visited fhe naval baseB and witnessed the. joint activities of the British and American navies in those waters. AIRCRAFT INVESTIGATION H A S.BEEN ORDERED W ashington—Criticism by General Rershinei and others of the de Havl- Iand a ltplane are being investi gated. After Secretary Baker’s statem ent last week to senate som- mittee’"inembers that General Persh ing had sent a cablegram criticising ■le Haviland • machines suggesting changes and disapproving features both of design and construction, the senate commiteee arranged to reopen .ts hearings. DESPITE OBSTINATE RESISTANCE ENEMY BATTLE LINE FORCED BACK AT ALL POINT8. IHE FI6HTIN6 IS Americana Prove Themselves Masters of Picked Enemy Troops In Sev- v 'eral Bloody Combats. Notwithstanding the fact that the Germans have powerfully strengthen ed their battle line running across the Soissons-Rheims salient with ad ditional reserves and have stubbornly disputed further passage northward to the entente allied troops, the enemy front has been compelled to bend back appreciably on all sides of the salient, except at the anchor points resting immediately on Soissons and Rheims. South of Soissons further wedges have been driven • eastward into the enemy front down to the Ourcq river; eastward along the Ourcq, French and American troops have crossed the stream at various points and advanc ed -their line well to the northward, while southwest of Rheims the allies have debouched from the wooded sec- tosr and gained the plains, notwith standing the violence of the enemy’s counter maneuvers. At some points the Germans succeeded somewhat in checking the forward movement. The retirement of the Germans still remains orderly, but everywhere the allied troops, and especially the Am ericans near Fere-En-Tardenois1 are pressing them hard. Particularly bit ter fighting has taken place around Fere-En-Tardenois and at Sergy, both of which towns are now well In the hands of the French and Americans. At Sergy the Germans paid the Amer icans the compliment of reinforcing their battle line with two divisions of well-trained Bavarian troops, men whose courage previously has been tested when the tide of battle was go ing against the Germans. It was an effort either to destroy the Americans or to herd them back across the Ourcq. The effort resulted in failure. The battle line shifted back and forth and Sergy changed hands four times, but the Americans proved to be the m asters of the picked enemy troops and finally drove them out and retained the village. Heavy casu alties were inflicted on the Germans. GERMAN RELATIONS WITH TURKEY PART !London.-—“T he,. relations between Germany and Turkey have been sev ered, according to direct information from Constantinople.” This announcement is made by the Copenhagen correspondent of the Ex change Telegraph company. The excitement against Germany, the advices further say, has been growing, particularly after last week’s events. The Germans recently demanded the cruiser Hamidieh, the only large ship then In possession of Turkey, as compensation for the Breslau, the for mer German cruiser which was de stroyed In the Dardanelles, while un der the Turkish flag. Despite Tur key's protest the 'Hamidieh departed. WASHINGTON OFFICIALS NOT MUCH SURPRISED. W ashington.—W hile no official no tice of the breach of relations be tween Turkey and Germany—or rath er the central powers, for without doubt Austria is involved with Ger many In the dispute with the Ottoman government—has reached Washing ton, officials expressed little surprise ai the Copenhagen dispatch that Germany and Turkey had severed re received from London saying that latlons. In official circles here for some time past, It has been realized that Germany, in her efforts to serve both Turkey and Bulgaria in the divi sion of spoils resulting from the en forced peace treaty with Rumania, had incurred the ill-will of both her allies. TREMENDOUS STORE OF GERMAN AMMUNITION W ith the American Army on the Alsne-Marne Front.—The tremendous stores of German ammunition found by the Franco-American troops in the forests of Fere and Ris, leads officers to believe that the allied offensive nipped in the bud German plans for a momentous drive upon Epernay. The forests and the surrounding country north of the Marne were vir tually one great arsenal- tor German ammunition of all kinds. VIGOROUS FORWARD ALLIED PRESSURE Washington.—French and American trops were still pressing forward vig orously the campaign that has up to this time succeeded in ejecting the enemy from more than half of the Aisne-Marne salemt. Belated an nouncement from Berlin that further withdrawal had been in progress since last Friday night left it greatly in doubt as to where the German higb zommand plans to make a stand.

All streams are swollen and land is badly Washed. Farm ers think, however, that this wet weather, will have a tendency to check the damage which the red spi der is doing In the cotton fields. Raleigh.—W ith 178 enlistments to its credit, the Raleigh Navy Recruit ing Station last week ranked first in enrollments in -the Fifth Naval Dis trict, which is composed of North Carolina and Virginia. The station also stood fourth In the entire East ern District.

Knox as a member of the W ake county exemp tion board. His appointment is ex pected at an early date. Kinston.—W hile L. D. Bland cured tobacco on the plantation of R. E. Bland some miles from here a five- foot rattler paid him a visit. The rep tile made itself quite busy around the place, presumably courting the heat within the curing barn. Bland also got busy and killed the snake. It was a healthy specimen, having 12 rattles and a button, indicating the snake to be 13 years old and unlucky.

THEIR HEROISM IS UUDED Our Army Needs More Chaplains and Is Training Them—Uniform Physi cal Standards Adopted by W ar De partm ent-H ollow Tile an Essential. (From Committee on Public Information.) Washington. — Marine corps head quarters give® the cotimiittee on pub lic information a graphic account of the decoration of American marines with the French Croix de Guerre for heroic service In battle Inst May. It says in p art: “Within the sound and range of the German guns, hidden by the shelter ing trees of a dense forest, under a heavy morning mist and a driving rain, French veterans of Verdun, the Marne, the Alsne and the Somme honored their younger comrades of America by conferring upon them the Croix de Guerre. Thirty marines, including five officers, were awarded this coveted French decoration for gallant conduct, courage and coolness In action against the enemy during the occupation of a sector by the marine brigade. Of the total number cited in French orders for this decoration only eleven were present, three having been killed In ac tion and sixteen were" wounded and in the field hospital. “A number of French soldiers were decorated at the same time. As is the custom half a company from each of the companies whose men were hon ored was present and drawn up so as to form a square. The presentation of the decorations took place within this human enclosure. The marines and poilus, side by side, presented a pic- -ture symbolical of the close bond ex isting between America and France In this conflict and .particularly so of the manner in which marines have worked and fought with the French soldiers during the period of their Instructions In an adjacent sector. "The French general who pinned the decorations on the breasts of the proud marines eloquently praised their achievements In a short speech In which he summarized their deeds of . bravery, remarking on the fine state of discipline and efficiency of the bri gade, and congratulating 4ts command ing officer upon his excellent organi zation. He then pinned the little bronze emblems on the men, and shook each one by the hand with a person.al word of congratulation.” Uniform standards of physical ex aminations governing entrance into all branches of the regular army, the na tional army and the National Guard have been adopted by the war depart ment and will be observed by the army medical department and the local and medical advisory boards under the se lective service regulations. Observance of the new rules and regulations by the local boards will result, It Is believed, In uniform ex aminations In all parts of the country and should prevent men physically dis qualified for military service from be ing sent out to camps. The new stand ards also will enable local physicians to make examinations with a better understanding of the needs of the army and will clear any misconcep tions and misunderstandings . that might result In the sending to camps of men who had been rejected. Heretofore the physical standards of the three armies have differed and Instances have been noted where men ■who have been rejected for service by the recruiting officers of tlie regular army have been accepted for military service by draft board physicians. "Un der the new uniform standards this will cot be possible unless the disquali fying defect has been removed. The’ rule for all three armies is_ that to make a . good soldier a man must be “able to see well, have comparatively good hearing, his heart must be able to stand the stress of physical exer tion, he must be intelligent enough to understand and execute, military ma neuvers, obey commands, protect him self, and must be able to transport himself by walking as the exigencies of military life may demand. Bxceptlons from the new standard rules are made In the case of men se lected for special and limited service. The experience of the past year has enabled the medical authorities to es tablish these new standards of exam- Inations which wil? relieve the local boards of doubt as to decisions In un usual cases. Enough such cases have teen examined to establish a policy In determining their military fitness. In structions are given as to what classes of men may be accepted .for limited service, and for treatment for remedia ble defects. Nearly every motion-picture theater In the country is enlisted in the cam paign of the United States employ ment service of the department of labor to supply labor to the farms.. Eleven of the largest motion-picture manufacturers are co-operating * with the fann service division In its drive tor maximum food production. These fllra producers are releasing to their Knbscribers—the theaters—moving pic ture “trailers,” calling on all 'thbse who possibly can do so to volunteer for harvest work and other forms of emergency farm labor. The army Is In need of chaplains, says the war department., A chaplain is'needed for every 1,200 officers and men. A special kind of chaplain is de sired—a sturdy, upstanding brotherly man, between twenty-one and forty- five years, who has deep solicitude for the welfare of the soldiers. There is a special school for army chaplains at Camp Zachary • Taylor, near Louisville, Ky. About 200 chap lains come from this school to take up their work with the army after a course lasting five weeks, and the courses go on continuously. Approxi mately one-fifth of the clergymen who start the course fall to complete it or to qualify for the army. Candidates for admission to the school must have the endorsement of their denomination superiors and or ganized religious bureaus and boards recognized by the government authori ties, and must pass the physical tests of the local army draft board. At the school the student receives free subsistence, lodging and uniform and $33 a month, which Is the pay of a first class private. After completing the course successfully the government re turns the student to his home, and when he is appointed to the army he takes the rank and pay of a first lieu tenant of the national army, $2,000 a year at home and $2,200 a year abroad. The training of a chaplain Is practi cal and intensive. His days In school are busy ones. He rises like any com mon soldier at 5:43 a. m„ has fifteen minutes of setting up drill and Is re quired to circle around the parade ground at .double time before break fast. He must police his quarters like any other soldier, undergo an infan try drill without arms of 45 minutes, and then attend lectures and recita tions. The latter cover military and International ; law, service customs, and field service reguiatlons pertain ing to a chaplain’s duties. The school surgeon Instructs him In sanitation and first aid, and experienced chap lains give clinics on actual work with the army. He Is given Instructions also In horsemanship, because in field service he will be a mounted officer. The priorities division of the war industries board has decided that hol low tile manufacture is In part of na tional importance and continued man ufacture of tiles throughout the war period will be safeguarded by giving the industry a place on the prefer ence list for fuel and transportation. Judge Edwin B. Parker, priorities commissioner, In a letter to the hollow tile manufacturers, says: "The prior ities board Is of the opinion that yours is In part a war Industry because your product Is used In many of the build ing operations carried on directly by the war agencies of the government, and In the collateral yet Indispensa ble housing progams which are being and will be prosecuted In communities where soldiers, sailors and war work ers are being concentrated. “In the opinion of the board your Industry ^also Is In part one of national Importance in that a portion of your product is used in land drainage oper ations and In ensilage savings proc esses making possible a higher produc tion per acre and per farm er of foods and feeds, taking Into account the. la bor expended In applying such prod ucts to the land.” Hollow tile manufacturers must give a pledge of co-operation with the gov ernment that they will not’ use mate rials except In the manufacture of products for essential uses as defined and applied by the priorities division of the war industries'.board, and that they will guard against resale of the .product for any except essential uses. There will be permitted, however, sales of small quantities of tiles for repairs or extensions to existing struc tures Involving In the aggregate a cost not exceeding $2,500. The war industries board has de cided that motor trucks are war es sentials and that In civilian industries they constitute an important trans portation medium and their produc tion should be facilitated and not cur tailed. But no pledge to see that mo tor truck manufacturers got all the steel they wanted was given by the priorities division of the board. Judge Parker, priorities commission er, observed: “The manufacturers and dealers fully realize that steel is today the world’s most needed metal and that, In view, of the urgent war de mands of this nation and the allies, It is well nigh treasonable to consume a pound of it that can be saved. They pledged themselves to reverse their practices of normal times and, instead of selling through solicitation as many trucks as possible and furnishing new trucks to replace old ones, to use their utmost endeavor to induce owners and operators to repair old-ones and use the trucks they have as long as possi ble, to operate them fully loaded, and, through shifts of drivers and other; wise to keep them In use during the greatest possible portion of the day.” The department of agricnlftire sug gests to farmers a gas attack on bean and pea weevils, which annually de stroy millions of dollars’ worth of valuable food arid feed.

YANKEES WIN NEW LAURELS Defeat Best Division of the Prussian Guard In Desperate Fighting—Ger mans and Bolsheviki Face Re volts In the Near East. By EDWARD W. PICKARD. The fifth year, of the great war opened with the German forces In the Alsne-Marne region on the defensive after the collapse of the drive on Par is and the assumption of the initia tive by the allies under General Foch; the British calmly awaiting the prom ised offensive by Crown Prince Rup- precht; the French and Italians driv ing ahead In Albania; Ukraine, Rou- manla and much of Russia rising against the tyranny of German dom ination ; Turkey quarreling with Bul garia and Austria with Germany over the spoils of war In the near E ast; the allies putting into execution their plans to help the anti-German ele ments In Siberia, and, above all, the American troops In the thick of the fighting In France and winning the plaudits of the world for their splen did work. —ta — W ith the apparent Intention of mak-’ Ing a stand, at least temporarily, on the Vesle river line, the Germans slowed up their retreat from the Aisne- Marne salient last week and brought their heavy artillery Into action. De spite the determined Hnd dashing at tacks of the allies from the south, west • and east, the Huns had with drawn In. most cases with deliberation, choosing the ground for their rear guard actions and saving probably the greater part of their supplies. The possibility of cutting off and capturing any very large number of them passed ’ when It was found that their power ful resistance at the ends of the 'arc, near Soissons and Reims, prevented any considerable advance of the al lies there. At the south front of the salient the Huns fought fiercely for days while their guns and munitions were being transported to the north, and then' quickly moved back, the French and Americans following with a rush. This movement carried the battle up .to and beyond th e ' River Ourcq.- There was evidence that the German commander intended to halt south of that river for a time, but he was not allowed to do this. To the front between Fere-en-Tarde- nols and Passy were brought the crack divisions of the Prussian guards, to hold back the Americans, but the lat ter refused to be checked, arid with a gallantry that aroused the cheers of the allied nations they met and de feated the best fighters of the kaiser’s armies.. These Prussians, unlike so many of . the Huns1 fight to'the death when told to hold a certain position, and the Americans, also, do not know the word surrender. Consequently the combat was bloody In the extreme. It wns centered In and about the villages of Nesles, Sergy and CIerges, and they changed hands repeatedly before the Yankees finally got the upper hand and established themselves firmly In the towns and then pushed on beyond' the river, taking Serlnges and mak ing a salient In the German lines that threatened what remained of the en emy In the pocket between there and Ville-en-Tardenols. That It was not an" Idle threat was proved two days later, when the Amer ican and French troops struck. hard at this pocket, storming the heights between Sergy and Seringes: They were preceded by a rolling barrage and moved forward behind a smoke cloud. It was announced that this at tack was for the purpose of straight ening the allied line, but its possibili ties were considerable. The advance, which was stubbornly resisted and wag made difficult, by miles of barbed-wlre entanglements, carried the allies dose to Cha'mery, the town where Lieut. Quentin Roosevelt fell fo his death with his airplane. „ —f a — Between Fere and Soissons the French', with the assistance of certain Scottish units, made some progress .toward the north and east In the face of powerful resistance. The Scots captured the park and chateau in the outskirts, of Buzancy and held them against repeated counter-attacks; and the French occupied Grand Rozoy and Cugny and, in a brilliant operation, took by storm the Butte Chaulmont, a commanding height. On the eastern side of the rapidly diminishing salient the French and British moved steadily northward un til the entire Dormans-Relms road was In their possession; Romigny, Bllgny were occupied and Ville-en-Tardenois was reached. Along here the Huns put up some of-their most stubborn re sistance and strongest counter-attacks, and infantry operations there came al most to a standstill, though the artil lery continued Its activity, as It did on all other sectors.—me— In the early days of the allied of fensive the Germans were vastly In ferior In the air, but last week many of their best pilots were summoned, and their machines swarmed over the allied'lines and communication roads, fighting with remarkable daring and doing considerable execution. The al lied aviators were by no means lack ing and there were innumerable stir ring combats In the air. —t a — When General Foch relaxed some what In Infantry action, perhaps to give his troops a bit of rest, perhaps In preparation for further Important operations, It was expected the Hun would seize the opportunity to attack. But he did not do so, evidently not be ing anxious to meet the allies oftener than necessary. Observers thought, from the movements of the enemy, that he would not stop long on the Vesle river line, but would retire to the plateau between that stream and- the Alsne. This might be rendered com pulsory by the capture »f Ville-en- Tardenois, which would open the way for the allies to advance down the Ardre valley to Flsiffes. — f c — Up to the time of writing, according to French estimates, the Germans had used 45 divisions on the Soissons- Reims front, some of them having been brought into action several times. Ber lin claimed to have taken 24,000 pris oners, while those captured by the allies were said to number 34,000. The object of each army has been to kill as many as possible of Its oppo nents. — t e — Gerinan prisoners, it Is said, are deeply depressed by the failure of the crown prince’s drive and the success of Foch’s offensive. They now realize the strength • of the American arms, and the people In Germany also are beginning to learn the truth about that, despite the attem pts of the lead ers and the press to minimize it and to excuse the army’s severe reverse. — f c — On the other fronts there was not a great deal 4)f action, though the Brit ish struck a swift blow In the north,, surrounding and capturing the town of Merris and taking ■ prisoners. There was little change In the Alban ian situation, though*'Vienna claimed the Franco-Italian forces had met with a reverse. The Austrians are very sore over the repeated bombing of Pola and other bases and are threat ening retaliation on Italian cities, espe cially ^Venice. American troops arrived In Italy last week and were received with joy •that was almost hysterical. — t a — -t • In the near Qast the best news came from Ukraine, where the peas ants, are reported to be In full revolt against the Huns. Field M arshal Von BIchhom, the German* commander In Ukraine, who had treated the people like slaves, was assassinated by a young Russian social revolutionist In Kiev, and it was said the life of General Skoropadski, the hetman—a tool of Germany—also was threatened. German correspondents who have been traveling In Russia report that the feeling there against Germany Is very strong and widespread and that the business men are all antl-bolshev- Jk. Lenlne and Trotzky admit that tlia bolshevik government Is In peril and call for “mass terrorism” against the bourgeoisie, and the repulse of the Czeeho-Slovaks. A part of that re markable force has penetrated to the south as far as the Black sea, captur ing a port and vessels, and another body has taken Ekaterlnberg, an im portant town In the province of Perm near the Siberian border, the center of a rich m lnlng''dlstrlct. The allied powers were still negotiating concern ing the extension of aid to the Czecho slovaks and other anti-German ele ments In Russia, but were going ahead with their military preparations for the proposed expedition, and it was said on Thursday that American, Brit ish and Japanese troops already had been dispatched to Vladivostok. The soviet government of Russia Is reported to have renounced all claims to the great provinces of Esthonia and Livonia, and these, together with Oourland, probably will be united un der a general government under Ger man auspices. From Copenhagen, the source of many lies, came the statem ent that Turkey had severed relations with Germany and Austria because of the disputes between the Turks and Bul garia over territory taken from Rou- manla and Russia. There was every evidence that this w as.“greatly exag gerated,” as Mark Twain said of the report of his death, but there is no doubt that Turkey is tired of the war and is getting all the worst of i t How ever, Germany, being In control of Turkish finances and In command of Turkish armies, has the whip hand and probably will be able to keep the Turks to their alliance for Bome time yet.—S»— General March, chief of staff, has been working out the details of a plan by which the American land forces are to bye amalgamated Into one army, the existing distinctions between the reg ular army, the National army and the federalized National Guard being wiped out. This will do away with many jealousies concerning promo tions and every soldier will wear on his collar the letters “U. S.,” the “N. A.” and "N. G." being removed. The chief of staff also is beginning to “loosen up” some regarding Informa tion as to what American units are engaged In certain operations. — The w ar department prepared the country last week for the reception Of long casualty lists. The casualties In the Aisne-Manie battle, though not excessive when the magnitude of the struggle Is considered, may run as high as 10 per cent, It Is stated. It is comforting to know that the vast majority of the wounded are suffering only from clean bullet wounds and will soon be back In the lines.—ta—. Sir Eric Geddes, first lord of the British admiralty, told the house of commons the naval situation was sat isfactory and that the civilized world was gaining steadily on the U-boats, by reducing the sinkings and increas ing the building of ships. He said America’s program of destroyers and anti-submarine craft is beginning to come along and “will become a veri table torrent.” — I * — c More trouble in realizing'the Ameri can aircraft program came to light with the information that General Pershing had told the war department to Senir-Over no more of the De Havl- Iand-Four planes it had been building, until changes were made, as they had proved useless. Secretary Baker half denied this and half admitted It by stating that Improvements are being made In the plane that It Is hoped will make it satisfactory, and that General Pershing has requested a large ship ment of the De Havilands: The sen ate committee Investigating airplanes heard testimony highly praising the work of General Eenly, director of airplane operations*, but was told that John D.

But if a man is wounded it takes th^ee men from the firing line, the wounded man and two men to carry him to the rear to the advanced first-aid post. Here he is attended by a doctor, perhaps assist ed by two R. A. M. 0. men. Then he is put into a motor ambulance, manned by a crew of two or three. At the field hospital, where he generally goes un der an anesthetic, either to have his wounds cleaned or to be operated on, he requires the services of about three to five persons. From , this point an other ambulance ride impresses more men In his service, and then a t the am bulance train, another corps of doc tors, E. A. M. C. men, Red Cross nurses and. the train’s crew. Prom the train he enters the base hospital or casualty clearing station, where a good-sized corps of doctors, nurses, etc., are kept busy. Another ambulance journey is next In order—this time to the hospital ship. He crosses the channel, arrives In Blighty—more ambulances and per haps a ride for five hours on an Eng lish Red Cross train with its crew of Red Cross workers, and a t last he reaches the hospital. Generally he stays ft-,tin two to six months, or long er, in this hospital. From here he is sent to a convalescent home for six weeks. If b> wounds he is unfitted for fur ther service, he is discharged, given a pension, or committed to a soldiers’ home for the rest of his life—and still the expense piles up. When you real ize that all the ambulances, trains and ships not to mention the man power, used in transporting a wbunded man, could be used for supplies, ammunition and re-enforcements for the troops at the front, it will not appear strange that from a strictly m ilitary stand point, a dead man is sometimes better than a live one (if wounded). Kid long after the first digging party, onr general decided, after n careful tour of inspection of the communica tion trenches, upon “an ideal spot," as he termed it, for a machine-gun em placement; took his map, made a dot on It, and as he was wont, wrote “dig here,” and the next night we dug. There were twenty In the party, my- self included. Armed with picks, shovels and empty sandbags we ar rived at the “Ideal spot” and started digging. The moon was very bright, but we did not care as we were well out of sight of the German lines. We bad gotten about three feet down, when the fellow next to me, aft er a mighty stroke with his pick, let go of the handle, and pinched his nose Wth his thumb and forefinger, at the same time letting out "the explosion, llGott strafe me pink, Tm bloody well gassed, not ’alf I ain’t.” I quickly tnrnf-5 in his direction with an inquir ing I-ok, at the same Instant reaching for my gas bag. I soon found out what Pas ailing him. One whiff was enough and I lost no time in dlso pinching my nose. The stench was awful. The rest of the digging party dropped their picks and shovels and beat it for the keather side of that solitary pick. The officer came over and inquired why the Pork had suddenly ceased, holding our noses, we simply pointed In the direc tion of the smell. He went over to the Pick, immediately clapped his hand over his nose, made an “about turn” Md came back. Just then our cap tain came along and investigated, but nfter about a minute said we had bet ter carry on with the digging, that he aJd not see why we- should have stopped as the odor was very faint, not# necessary he would allow us our (Ms helmets while digging.

It first produces a nauseating feeling, which, especially after eating, causes vomiting. This re lieves you temporarily, but soon a weakening sensation follows, which leaves you limp as a dishrng. Yonr spirits are a t their lowest ebb and you feel a sort of hopelessness and a mad desire to escape it all, to get to the open fields and the perfume of the flow ers In Blighty. There is a sharp, prickling sensation in the nostrils, which reminds one-of breathing coal gas through a radiator in the floor, and you want to sneeze, but cannot. This was the effect on me, surmounted by a vague horror of the awfulness of the thing and an ever-recurring reflection that, perhaps I, sooner or later, would be in such a state and be brought to light by the blow of a pick In the hands of some Tommy on a digging party. Several times I have experienced this odor, but never could get used to it; the enervating sensation was always present. It made me hate w ar and wonder why such things were counte nanced by civilization, and all the spice and glory of the conflict would disap pear, leaving the grim reality. But after leaving the spot and filling your lungs with deep breaths of pure, fresh air, you forget and once again want to be “up and at them.” CHAPTER XV. Listening Post. It was six in the morning when we arrived at our rest billets, and we were allowed to sleep until noon; that is, if we wanted to go without our break fast. For sixteen days we remained S I Entrance to a Dugout in rest billets, digging roads, drilling, and other fatigues, and then back into the front-line trench. Nothing happened that night, but the next afternoon I found out that a bomber is general utility man in a sec tion. About five o’clock In the afternoon our lieutenant came down the trench and stopping In front of a bunch of us on the fire step, with a broad grin on his face, asked: “Who is going to volunteer for listen ing post tonight? I need two men.” ’ It is needless to say no one volun teered, because it is anything but a cushy Job. I began to feel uncomfort able as I knew it was getting around for my turn. Sure enough, with another grin, he said: . “Empey, you and IVheeler are due, so com e down into my dugout for In structions a t six o’clock.” Ju st as he left and was going around c traverse, Fritz turned loose' with a machine gun and the bullets ripped the sandbags right over his head.” It gave me great pleasure to see him duck against the parapet He was getting a taste of w hat we would get later out in front Then, of course* it began to rain. I knew It was the forerunner of a mis erable night for us. Every tim e I had to go out In.froiit, it Just naturally rained. Old Jupiter Pluvlus must have had It In for me. At six we report6>1 to r Instructions. They were simple rvnd easy. AU we had to do was to -crawl out into No Man’s Land, lie on our belUes wlth-our ears to the ground and listen for the tap, tap of the Getmani engineers or sappers who might be tunneling under No Man’s Land to. establish a mine- head beneath our trench. ■ Of course, in our orders we were told not to be captured by German patrols or reconnoitering parties. Lots of breath is wasted on the western front giving sfflfe* caution*. As soon as it was dark, Wheeler and I crawled to our post which was about halfway between the lines. It was raining bucketfuls, the ground was a sea of sticliy mud and dung to us like glue. We took turns in listening with our ears to the ground. I would listen for twenty minutes while Wheeler would be on the qui vive for German patrols. We each wore a wristwateh, and be lieve me, neither one of us- did over twenty minutes. The rain soaked as to the skin and ouir- ears were full of mud. Bivery few minutes a bullet wsuid crack overhead or a machine gun would traverse back and forth. Then all firing suddenly ceased. I whispered to Wheeler, “Keep your eye skinned, m ate; most likely Fritz has a patrol out—that’s why the Boches have stopped firing.” We were each armed with a rifle and bayonet and three Mills bombs to be used for defense only. I had my ear to the ground. All. of a sudden I heard faint, dull thuds. In a low but excited voice I whispered to Wheeler, “I think they are mining,' listen.” H e put his ear to the ground and in an unsteady voice spoke' into toy ear: 'Tank, that’s a patrol and it’s head ing our way. For God’s sake keep still,” I was as still as a mouse and was scared stiff. Hardly breathing and with eyes try ing to pierce the Inky blackness, we waited. I would have given a thou sand pounds to have- been safely In my dugout. Then we plainly heard footsteps and our hearts stood still>- A dark form suddenly loomed up in front of me; it looked as big as the Woolworth building. I could heat the blood rushing through my veins and it sounded as loud as Niagara falls. Forms seeme& to emerge from the darkness. There were seven of them in all. I tried to wish them away. I never wished harder In my life. They m uttered a few words In German and melted into the blackiless. I didn’t stop wishing either. All of a sudden we heard a stumble, a muddy splash, and a m uttered “Don- ner und Blitzen " One of the Bochea had tumbled into a shell hole. Neither of us laughed. At that time—it didn't strike us as funny. About twenty minutes after the Ger mans had disappeared something from the rear grabbed me by the foot I nearly fainted with fright Then a welcome whisper In a cockney accent “I s’y, myte, we’ve come to relieve you.” W heeler and I crawled back to our trench; we looked like wet hens and felt worse. After a swig of rum we were soon fast asleep on the fire step In our wet clothes. The next morning I was as stiff as a poker and every joint ached like a bod tooth, but I was still alive, so it did not m atter. ~ CHAPTER XVI. Battery- D 238. The. day after this I received the glad tidings that I would occupy the machine gunners’ dugout right near the advanced artillery observation post. This dugout was a roomy affair, dry as tinder, and real cots In it. These ■ cots had been made by the R. E.’s who had previously occupied the dugout. I was the first to enter and promptly made a signboard with my name and number on it and sus pended it from the foot of the most comfortable cot therein. In the trenches it is always “first come, first served,” and- this is lived up to by alL Two R. F. A men (Royal Field ar tillery) from the nearby observation post were allowed the privilege of stopping In this dugout when off duty. One of these men, Bombardier Wil son by name, who belonged to Bat tery D 238, seemed to take a liking to me, and I returned this feeling. In two days’ time we were pretty chummy, and he told me how his bat tery In the early days of the war had put over a stunt on Old Pepper, and had gotten away will I it. I will endeaver to give the story as far as memory will permit In -his own words: SPECl DM FOD GOVERNOR SETS ASIDE AUG. 19, FOR JEWISH CITIZENS TO ORGANIZE. JISPflTCHES FROM RALEIGH Doings and Happenings That Mark the Progress of North Carolina Peo ple, Gathered • Around the State ,Capital. Raleigh. In accordance with a- request from representative" . Jewish citizens of North Carolina who met and organized in Raleigh for the purpose of raising 8100,000 to alleviate the sufferings of their coreligionists in the war-striek- en countries, Governor T. W. Bickett set aside Monday, August 19, as State Jewish Relief Day in North Carolina. He indicated that the official procla mation will be issued at once. Before calling upon the Governor in a body the JeWish citizens perfected their state organization, which will be known as the North Carolina Jewish Aid Society, by electing Lionel Weil, of Goldsboro, president; E. 'Stern- berger, of Greensboro, vice-president; A. A. Joseph, of Goldsboro, secretary- treasurer, and Bernard Cone, Greens boro; Dr. S. Mendlesohn, Wilmington; Dr. N. Rosenstein, Durham! William Perlstein, Raleigh; Ellis Goldstein, Dunn; Sig Wallace, States.ville, and S. Sternberg, Asheville. Officials Must Obey Order. “Boys in the trenches are relying on the fact that orders will be carried out a t home as well as at the front,” Maj. John D. Langston tells members of lo cal boards of North. Carolina in a let ter that sharply calls some of the boards in the state to account. Lack of prompt attention to orders by boards causes the record of the state to suffer and be severely criticised in the office of Provost Marshal General Crowder,” continues the letter, and is so serious “that it becomes necessary to state that a recurrence of it will invite a recommendation for the sum mary removal of those responsible." Delayed reports from some of the lo cal boards in the state on m atters per taining to the administration of the Selective Service regulations are one of the principal shortcomings of the boards. Boards wrongfully appro priate to them seires the exercise oi discretion when instructions tanta mount to orders are given, the letter charges. I "Draft officials,” Major Langston I says to the boards in the state, “have po right to treat Grders less seriously than men in the trenches. Violation of orders behind the battle lines means loss of life at the front.” - Despite the excellent targets men are not allowed to shell Fritz, Empey relates Ih next in stallment.

Discussing the contents of this co'mmunlcation, Mr. Brooks said that only 20,000,01)0 bush els of wheat of the old crop were available, and this result -followed rigid saving by the American public. Mr. Brooks pointed out that this tittle reserve was almost as near “breaking even” as would be possible, consider ing that normally this quantity of wheat ig About 10 days* supply for the nation. * It was estimated by Mr. Brooks that the -American public should not begin, using greater quantities of wheat products and flour than was used during the past winter and spring.

North Carolina is assigned an im portant part in the Liberty wheat har vest In 1919. American farmers are asked to sow to winter wheat this fall not less than 45,000,000 acres—an increase of I per cent over last year’s sowing—and the department suggests that an even greater area, approximately 47,500,- 000 acres—an increase of more than 12 per cent over last year—could be sown if conditions are especially fav orable in all the states and would better meet the needs of the allied nations at war. Prom the smaller acreage a harvest of 636 million bushels might be ex pected, it is estimated, and from the largfer acreage 667 millions, based upon an average yield of 15.7 bushels an acre and an abndonment of 10 per cent of the acre sown on account of winter kill. North Carolina farmers are asked to sow not less than 1,238,000 acres, and not -more than 1,297,000 which is 105 or 110 per cent of this year’s crop. The plan fixes 'definite acreage by states, and in a campaign to be launched immediately by the depart m ent and the- state agricultural col leges and leading farmers through out the county, growers will be asked to make good their state quotas. The recommendations regarding the plant ing of spring .wheat and other spring crops and. regarding live stock will follow later. In announcing its wheat production program the department considers the growing needs of this country and its allies for this essential food. The last crop report forecast a 1918 har vest of 890,930,00.0 bushels of winter and spring wheat. Northern Pastor Protests.

North Carolina Complimented. “I believe North Carolina is doing better work to prevent fires and fire destruction than any other State In the Union,” writes President Wm. E.

By using 15 pounds of alfalfa meal and 10 ounces of paris green, a t the same time Increasing the molasses to I gallon and the w ater to 6 gallons, C One of Largest Species of Grasshop per Inhabiting Eastern, Portion of United States. and reducing the number of lemons to 3, it was found that the same bulk of poison m ixture was obtained for approximately $1 a t current prices. T he. molasses used was cattle mo lasses, obtained" a t a beet-sugar fac tory for about 5 cents a gallon. Al falfa meal has such swelling power when plenty of w ater Is added that the 15 pounds makes approximately the same amount of poison mixture as 25 pounds of bran. Must Be Used at Once. It has been found that in wnrm cli mates the poison baits prepared nlth alfalfa meal m ust be used almost im mediately, as they sour if kept until the following day. Another objection able feature is that the meal is usu ally so finely ground that it cannot be distributed without considerable waste by the use of an end-gate grain seeder, such as employed In - some portions of the country In distributing the bait The greatly lessened expense of fighting grasshoppers by the use of al falfa meal mixture Induced Nebraska farm ers to combat the pest much more energetically than they would have done if the more expensive bran- mash formula had been used. PROVIDING BINS FOR WHEAT Suitable Storage- Houses May Be Nec essary on Many Farm s to Save Large Crops This Year. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment ot Agriculture.) Farm ers in sections where the acre age of wheat is unusually large are urged by the department of agriculture to provide enough bins on the farm to take care of their wheat when thrashed. This is said' to be neces sary to save the w heat'that will prob ably pile up In certain localities, be cause the large crop is likely to put a heavy strain on storage elevators and transportation systems. The wheat should be stored in bins on the farm, according to the bureau of mar kets, which has issued a circular con taining plans and drawings for a port able bln that can be quickly built Copies of this circular have been dis tributed to county agents throughout the large wheat-producing sections/ • APPEARANCE OF NEW WEEDS Much . Loss and Trouble Could Be Avoided by Reporting Presence of Noxious Plants. (Prepared by the United States Depart- - m eat of Agriculture.) Tt the first appearance In this coun try of weeds, such as Russian thistle, field hawkweed, and Canada thistle, had been reported, much of the Joss and trouble which they are causing Might have been avoided. K is impor tant to report the appearance of new weeds and to take precautions to pre vent their dissemination. SHEEP AID FARM LABOR (Prepared by the U. a Department of Agriculture.). The extra labor required to keep weeds under control is*prob- - ably the greatest economic loss which they cause. Labor Is too much needed for other lines of farm work and should not be used in fighting weeds If they can be eradicated In any other way. Yet weeds m ust be con trolled if maximum crop yields are to be secured. In this re spect sheep can aid in the farm labor problem. They will eat most weeds, and on any,- farm will greatly reduce the amount of hand labor needed to hold weeds in check In pastures and -grain fields. Keep sheep and ar range your farm so they can - . help In the’ fight with weeds. H O G C H O L E R A C A U siir BY VERY SMALL GERM Dangerous Factor in Spreading Disease Is Sick Animal. Aliment Cannot Always Be Diagnosed W ith Absolute Certainty, as Symp toms Are Not Uniform—Pre vention Is Best. (Prepared by the United States Depart m ent of Agriculture.) The real cause of hog cholera Is a very smaU germ found In the blood or urine. I t may be said that anything which tends to lower the health of the animal, such as improper feeding. In sanitary conditions of hog lots, damp or cold sleeping places and dirty drinking and feeding troughs may be regarded as an indirect cause. Since the disease can only be started by the introduction of the germ into the herd and the organism is always present In the bodies of sick hogs and is thrown oft in the feces and urine, the most dangerous factor In spread ing the disease is the sick animal. It may get into the herd by sick hogs escaping from a neighboring herd, by the purchase of new stock not showing symptoms, by returning show hogs after visits to fairs or stockyards, and by the purchase of hogs which ap parently have recovered. The symptoms are not constant and uniform, therefore the disease cannot always be diagnosed with absolute cer tainty. Animals suffering from Intes tinal troubles, indigestion and poison ing exhibit symptoms which closely re semble those of cholera. In the early stages hogs huddle to gether; have tem peratures (105 to 107 degrees F . or higher); are consti pated; the feces often streaked ’ with blood; a characteristic odor is pres ent; and after the third or fourth day diarrhea develops, As death approaches there is usually a reddening of the Not a Good Place for Hogs—Clean Pens and Abundance of Exercise Will Do Great Deal Toward Protect ing Hogs From Cholera. skin on the under surfaces of the body, snout and ears. This turns into a purple color If death Is delayed a day or two. There is a discharge of mu cus from the eyes. Coughing may or may not be present. In chronic cases there is emaciation and patient may linger for days and weeks. Prevention is the better treatm ent; Separate sick animals from the herd at once. Vaccinate the apparently healthy hogs with antihog-cholera serum. This serum only protects the hogs against cholera. It is a .preven tive.and in .no wise a cure. It Is ad visable to take the tem perature of the hogs. This should not be more than 104 degrees F. Bum or bury .the carcasses of hogs that have died with the disease, disin fect all pens and yards after an out break of cholera. Bum all manure,- litter and straw, then apply a coat, of coal tar. Pens should be situated so that they can be properly drained and Cleaned. Proper feeding, plenty of exercise, dean pens and an abundance of sun shine will do a great deal toward pro tecting hogs from -cholera. ■ Put the Bull to Work.

One of the W estern towns where there Is a large per cent of foreign population considerable difficulty was experienced in getting the registra tion-of alien women. An instructor In the playground in the foreign district offered her assistance, and in order to gain a better knowledge of the com munity gave out printed slips to the children on which they were to w rite their names, ages and places of birth, and the same of their fathers, and mothers. She told all the youngsters explicitly- that they m ust bring the pa pers back with them In the afternoon. When the children returned one little fellow stood forlornly a t the gate. To aU invitations to enter lie shook his head stubbornly. One of the assistants finally went to him. “Come on In,” she coaxed. “We are going to learn a wonderful new game this afternoon. Don’t you want to help us?” “No, ma’am, teacher/’ he said, and big tears rolled down his cheeks. “No, ma’am, I dnssent even come in, ’cause I ain’t got my excuse for being borned.” ASOFTfVELVETY SKIN should be the ambition of every wom an as there is nothing so attractive as a fair, smooth skin.

We are pledged now to go through witli the war by force, “without stint of limit,” and we must support that pledge by electing men to Congress who will “stay put” on the issue until victory is won. For that matter, Americans should be careful about electing anybody to any office now who" is not clear-cut on the war.

GRAFJAM FLOUR FROM NEW WHEAT WILL BE POPULAR Raleigh.—The grinding of new crop wheateinto graham flour is being en couraged by the Food Administration. In some sections of North Carolina the new wheat is reaching some of the mills already. Most of the mills refuse to handle the new wheat ex cept In very small quantities on ac count of its poor milling condition. The Food Administration is an dous that no '.further wheat flour shall be imported into the State and for this reason,, and for the additional reason that mills find it exceedingly difficult to grind new wheat and get the ex traction which Uiey are required to get is encouraging the grinding of Wheat into graham flour. Whole wheat graham flour from the new crop wh eat Is sweet and wholesome, having a dis tinctive flavor which makes it ex ceedingly palatable and promises to make it very popular.

TALCOTT WILLIAMS, Director of the Columbia University School of journalism. ,Based on the principle, immoral in ethics, tyrannical in operation, nnd perilous to all liberty, that certain men are ■ bom to rule, the “Imperial Germ an.- Govern ment” has for a generation been the foe of liberty and the enemy of free dom. Its wUole in fluence has been thrown to suppress freedom in the four Balkan states. It has prevented, their penceful de velopment, refused. to enforce the Trea- TaIcott Williams, ty of Berlin, which ' would have brought peace, and is responsible for four Balj kan wars. A score of years ago it supported the bloodthirsty Sultan of Turkey in Armenian massacres, and the officers of the “Imperial German Government" have aided and abetted these massacres now because the Ar menians worked and planned' for lib erty when other races in Turkey were quiescent. It is the “Imperial German Government" which is responsible for-'| 800,000 Aimenians, starved to death as Germans themselves testify. "Secret Enemy." In 1908, when the revolutionary 4| Turkish government was for freedom, Germany opposed it; when it became tyrannical Germany made this govern ment its ally. The German govern ment harassed France not merely be cause it was its ancient enemy, but because.its success as a republic made the French people perilous to princes. The German government plotted to re store the BIanchu Emperor and the Russian Gzar to their thrones. . Because the American people by fta prosperity and power made liberty desired by all the world the German government has been its secret enemy. Thirty years ago it plotted against out- treaty rights in Samoa; it sent its- fleet to worry and threaten Dewey at Manila In 1898; it offered to Eng land, ‘ which refused, to overturn the Monrce Doctrine in Mexico. It has In 'fifteen years threatened Venezuela, Blexlco, Hayti and other American states. When we were maintaining peace under great provocation, it pro posed to BIexlco and Japan to attack us, both refusing. It betrayed Inter national faith in the dispatches sent through-the Swedish BIinister. It filled our land with spies,, sought unavailing- Iy to embroil us with those of German birth resident in this country, slaugh. tered our citizens on the high seas, contrary to all law, national and inter national, human and divine. “Bore Much." We waited long, we bore much, and we are now sending our sons to the war declared against the “Imperial German Government” because the rec ord of thirty years shows that neithei liberty nor democratic institutions are safe the world over while that govern, ment is powerful. We wisely prefer, after wliat belgturo suffered, to figlit Germany “somewhere.in France" rath er than in New York harbor; on vile Somme, rather than on the Hudson.

A change too. that eauuot tie charged up to the war for it has existed for several years past. . . In the times referred to office- boldeis were playfully spoken of by the Democratic press as “ Reve nue doodiers,” ‘ Stamp dickers,” and ‘-Bung smellers.” When a BepublicaD S ate convention was held in Raleigh or Greensboro it was usually denominated a gather ing oi tLickeis, doodlers and smel lers,” and its doings wore held up to the public gaze in mnch scorn and derision. EveD the great Vance himself habitually spoke 01 reveune officers as ‘‘Bed legged grasshoppers.” But what a transformation. Tbe lowly levenue officer ol other days is become an important personage. In Democratic politics he is like the Irishman, “just as good as any other man and considerably' bet ter.” U. S. Marshal C. A . Webb for iuslaoce, is generally supposed’ to be very much interested in poli tics. He controls a daily newspa per in Hsheville and is considered a leader of one of the Democratic factions there. Cullector Anstin Wutts has not removed himself from the political arena so far as anybody knows. H eis a iegulai attecdaut at Democratic conven- iious ami is generally recognized as uue of Senator Simmons’ chief litulenauts. No newspaper bad dared to speak ot this astute poli tician as a “doodler,” and more over no Democratic newspaper is goiug to do so. It remained for the third Con gressional district though to put the coup de grace to the theory of contempt for Federal office-holders. Ueie a “ Bung smeller” or wbat ever you may call him of the first water, euteted the raee for the De niocratic nomination for Congress man, was declared the winner by the Slate Board oi Elections and is now the candidate of the party in the November elections. H as Mr. Dortch resigned his job as United States Marshall Not much.

There, was nothing doing for a con pie of miu- utes, flelieve me!”- Then there was the enforced ob servance at the movies: ‘/By or der of the Ministerial Association, we will suspend operations, etc. But that seems about all. ■ So that the question arises: “ Is Charlotte irreverent - or just un thinking?” And also the ques tion: “ Had the prayer bell bet ter cease to be than to continue un observed?” The News also complains editor ially of the non observance of this signal for prayer, which has been inaugurated in some towns at the request of Gov. Bickect. it is a beautiful theory—this idea that at a given signal every one, no mat ter where they are nor how engag ed, should stop for a moment or two and breathe a prayer for the success of our arms. Being a beau- tilnl theory, there have been many demands for its adoption, but the story of the News shows just bow practical it is. A few observe ..it in the, proper spirit. The great majority go on unheeding, while the obsei vance by others is a mock ery. All of UB admit the great need of earnest supplication'at the Throne of Grace for our cause. It will be as the Lord wills, aud ap peals to Him are right aud proper; but there is also a proper way. In stead of the attempt- to diiect— and that is what this so called regula tioD amounts to in some cases— that every one should engage in prayer at a certain minute daily, why uot appeal to the people to attend the mid-week prayer servi ces held iu the churches of ail our villages, towus aud cities? These services are usually attended by a hall dozen to a duzeu peisous, more or less. Pass out the word that special prayer will be offered at these services for our soldiers aud our cause. If the newspapers aud the mayors UDd preachers and oth ers who have been trying to foice people to slop on the Bireets, to stop a card game, or Io slop in whatever they may be engaged and pray at a certain moment, wiil use the same amount of effort to gel the public' out to the mid-week prayer service, the attendance might, astonish some of the pastors. At least the regular prayer ser vice iu the churches would have an atmosphere of prayer and the spirit of prayer would be there. “ When thou praye9t,” said the Great Nazariue, “ enter into thy closet, and when tbou hast shut the door pray to thy Father which is in secret; aud thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee gpenly.” But when you pray, said the same Great Authoiity, •use not vain repetitions as the heatheu do, for they think they shall be heard for tbeir much speaking.” (Some of the miois- ters'whd continue long in prayer might take heed).- “And when thou prayest, thou skalt- not he as the hypo'eiites are” ’ said the Naz ariue. “ They love to pray stand ing/in * * ‘^the corners of the streets; that they may be seen of men.” Those who would force all people to stop on- the street and pray might consider; that iustrnc tion,.:,Tt isa trifle, old, , but is as valuable now as when; it was spo- keh.^Stat.esville v^entiuel, / NUMBER 5 HAPPENINGS OF LONG AGO.

Ldter From A Marine in France. Somewhere in France, July 8 . Dear Editor:—It baa been a very busy time with the Marines during the last month or I should have writ ten you before. When the Germans began- their second offensive during the last few days of May, our division happened to be close bv, and therefore it fell our duty to help stop them. They were still coming in massed forma tion when we met them. Forseveral days they made re peated attempts to break through our lines, but our artillery and ma chine guns kept up such a hot fire that they never reached our front line. Finaliy it become our time to attack. One morning after an ar tillery and machine gun barrageour infantry, started over the top sup ported by our machine guns. Over the top they went. * « * Letme say right here that capturing a ma chine gun is no easy task. I know of nothintr that can compare with it Thebeitillustrationlhatl think of just now is two or three bojs throw ing a few stones into a hornet’s iiest From Sunny France. In France, July 6th 1918. Dear parents:—Hope you are well at this time, and getting along nice ly with your work. I am enjoying good health and getting along fine. Your letter of June the 5th came The Masonic Picnic.

W when everything else is taken into consideration, it was one of the most' successful events of the kind ever held. War conditions and. the extreme hot yesterday, and I was indeed glad to weather are two things responsible for get it and know you are well and ‘ ‘ getting along so well. You asked me to tell you where I am and what I am doing. I know you are anxious to know many, things, bu t, I hardly know what I am allowed to write We are on one of the fronts that is soil and everything i3 goon — ing well, we have good dugouts and get plenty to eat, while it is not much like home, it is not as bad as you might imagine. We have lots of fun and.as good time here as any body could expect. So please don’t worry.about me, everything is O K. with me and I am expecting to see the war to a close and go back to the States in the near future.

A large crowd was present and the people enjoyed the day, despite the dust and the inten se heat. So far as we know only one arrest was made during the day, and that was for drunkenness. The crowd was smaller than usual, but there-' must have been about five thousand present. “TY. S. S.5" A Davie Boy in France. France, July 5,1918. Dear Brothet:—Got your letter the other day and was very glad to hear from you. You said you wrote four, or five letters before. They probably got lost, somewhere. I am feeling fine and hope so afithe way through. We have been having a little rain here the last two or three weeks, but today the sun has started to .come out again, but don’t know how long it will last. How is the weather up in North Carolina. You were saying the commencement was the 15th of May. It’s too bad couldn’t be there. - - - - Ye ,terday iwas the 4th of July. I turing it. That is no comparison for with a machine gun one has to contend with hot steel; with a horn- e.’s nest, insects. Nevertheless, sev eral machine guns hava been cap tured from the Germans. In another case a Marine was cap tured by the Germans and in an swer to their questions he told them such unfavorable stories that they asked him to lead them back through our lines His story to them was that their position was discovered and completely surrounded by Amer icans and that at a certain hour their position would be blown off the map. The result was that he led (hem back, seventy in number, as prison ers. It may seem unreasonable bui it actually happened. Time after time squads of Gpr mans have surrendered to the Amer icans because they are tired' of the war. The prisoners say that all their soldiers are tired of the war. Eveninanactivefront Iine -Wai isn’t all so dark. Of course there are moments, usually mere instants, that are trying on our nerves. It i: surprising to know what thoughts flash through one’s mind in* that in stant. Such an instant comes when a big boche shell is going to land near by. It can be heard coming in time for one to fall on she ground. But the soldiers’ happiest moment comes when he receives a bunch ol letters from home. Uphereletters usually come in bunches. And it is pleasant to.spend a short time with the home folks. . One person wrote me asking in a joke-like way if we soldiers have flowers. That person would be sur prised if I should answer “yes.” Well, we do have flowers, but they are not the kind that grow in flower gardens. They come to us in the form of pictures. Letters express a they went to camp with me. Will write you again soon. With best wishes and much love to all. Your loving son, CARL H. BARNEYCASTLE. “W. S. S.” A Soldier in France Writes.

Manypersons whohaveattended sim ilar gatherings at. the same ‘ place for years past say that the program this year was the best they ever heard. Certain ly there was some attraction in the fact for the second time in forty years a Grand Master of the Masonic Lodge of North Ca rolina was present for an address. Ex- Congressman Robert N. Page. of. Biscoe, was also one of the speakers, his address adding to the ^interest of the program. One of the most interesting parts of the program of this annual picnic.always is the appearance of a class from the Ox ford Orphanage.. The class yesterday ad ded in no small way to ' the interest of the occasion. The class, principally girls, with two or three boys, rendered a pro gram that reflected no small amount oi Cfi dit on the institution from whence t y came, as well as upon their instructors Patriotic songs held chief place in tin progrtm yesterday, singing of “America," * The Star-Spangled Banner", and others bringing rousing cheers from the immense audience. The Cooleemee Band, an organization of musicians that has attracted much at tention in recent months, furnished music for the occasion. These bo"s scored a great hit with their patriotic selections, medleys, etc. The music of the band in terspersed the program throughout the day. From a financial standpoint, the. picnic was a greater success this year, than ev er, considering the size of the crowd Thereceiptstotallednearly $1,000; $412 from the dinner and $455 from gate re ceipts. There was considerable revenue realized from the refreshment stands, concessions, etc. “W. S. S.” Fork News Notes. Mrs. E' W.

The Germans are expected to make a desperate stand on the Roye-Noyon to permit the columns which are re treating in the direction of Nesle and Ham to roach safety. The resistance ot the Germans is stiffening against the fourth British jfuly under General Rawlinson. They ate reading violently in the region of Uhons. which changed hands twice daring the night but which was firmly hold iiy the British. ' AU the bridges across the Somme between Peronne and Ham, a stretch ot about 15 miles, have been destroy ed by allied aviators. The Germans have been attempting to throw tem porary bridges across the stream and the allied airmen are now systematic ally bombing these improvised struc tures. All morning reports show extreme I confusion among the enemy forces ; in :heir precipitate retreat. Anwns the prisoners taken are gen erals. colonels and officers of all other grades. Eleven divisions -of Generals von Huties and von Marwitz have been identified by prisoners taken. !GERMANS DIGGING IN ALONG THE VESLE RiVER With the American Army on the I Vesle.—Allied aviators have reported that the Germans are digging in oppo- i site the Franco-American line along the Vesle. The observers also have re ported that the enemy is stringing j barbed wire along the hills northwest of Fismes. Allied officers express the -Iiof that the Germans will not give I ground here unless they are deliber ately pushed off the plateaus. The Americans learned from Ger- I man prisoners that the enemy was using an old rock quarry cave in the region of Longuval, large enough to conceal two regiments. He employed I it as a refuge for troops to rest. The Fraaco-American heavy artillery shell ed the cave all day and the Gormans wcie Iinally compelled to abandon it as a hiding place. The guns of the Franco-Americans got the range of the entrance to the cave and kept up a continuous Are ail -tay. Observers reported that the cave had been considerably damaged and was rendered very untenable. The Germans are digging trenches along the line west and east of Longu val and a1 so in the valley of the Perles. COAL SHORTAGE IS SOURCE OF.DANGER Washington.—Coal miners and oper ators were called upon in a proclama tion by President Wilson to give their maximum effort to the production of coal to the end that the threatened shortage next winter may be averted. Ihe president asked miners particu larly to work full time and urged those who are essential to the industry to accept deterred classification In the draft. SEVERAL v illages t a k en BY THE FRENCH TROOPS Paris.—Notwithstanding res* stance ef Germans, French troops gained further ground between the Vvre and the Oise rivers, taking several villages from the west and south of Roye to the Oise. Further south on the Hne, the French have penetrated the. wood ed area between the Rivers MaU and vise, reaching in this region the envi rons of LaBerliere and Gury. Moreuil nMotte has been captured. A|R RAIDS HAVE BEEN. MADE ON KARLSRUHE London.—An official communication lssMed by the air mihltsary an nounces that air raids have been nmde on Karlsruhe and that there was an explosion in the Karlsruhe sta- oo. A dispatch from Stockholm says as result of efforts of Sweden’s !.JrcsenIatives in Moscow, th e ' Brit- „ French consuls who were re- ,^ !’ arrested by order of the bol- ki council were released. ' S RETEIiT TANKS, CARS, CAVALRY AND INFANTRY ALL COMBINE TO OVERWHELM FOE. GREAT NUMBER OF PRISONERS Allies Capture 17,000 Prisoners, More Than Two Hundred Cannon and Other War Munitions. Over a curving front of more than 20 miles the British and French troops are continuing to sweep back the Germans eastward across the north of the Somme east of Morlan- court to the eastern bank of the Avre northwest of Montdidler. As on the first day of the offensive, m aterial progress was made over the entire battle front. Many additional villages were captured; the bag of prisoners was largely increased; nu merous guns and great quantities of w ar stores were taken, and heavy -casualties were inflicted on the enemy by tanks, armored motor cars, the cavalrymen and the infantry. The losses sustained by the Anglo-French forces are declared to be relatively small. To the allied forces there have fallen 17,000 German prisoners and between 200 and 300 guns, many of them of heavy caliber and innumer able machine guns,. trench * m ortars and kindred smal weapons. Already having penetrated the Picardy salient to a depth of nearly 13 miles in the center toward the vicinity of the important railroad junction of Chaulnes, and at other points along the arc, pushed forward betwen five and seven miles, the northern and southern flanks of the battle front where the Germans had l-een resisting desperately, gave way before the pressure respectively oi the British and French. A CORRESPONDENT SAYS GERMANY IS SCARED WHITE London,.England.—Germany is scar ed white. She’s scared, first of all, over the turn of things on the west front; over the thousands of Americans regularly GUtfighting her; over the hundreds of thousands, of Americans waiting to get into Tine; over the millions Of other Americans “on the way." This information comes from an al lied source whose business it is to know; conditions in the enemy coun tries. She’s frightened about Austria. She doesn’t know what moment Austria' may blow up. She knows what is known -and conceded In official allied sources—that the Austrian economic situation is worse now than it has been since the opening of -the war and the people are bolder. She's frightened about Russia. Al lied warships and American troops up north have puffed out her hope of getting her hands on the hundreds of thousands of tons of military stores at Archangel, there since the revolution; she can’t take a step to ward Petrograd or the northern rail way lest these allies forces swoop south; and for ail she knows they may be going to swoop south without waiting for that menace; she can’t spare men from tjie west front. FOCH’S NEW OFFENSIVE. GIVES PROMISE OF SERIOUS MEN- ACE TO GERMAN FRONT, . SHMJNEL ports now safe Evident That Rupprecht Must Defer Campaign to Cut Off the Cross- Channet Service. The historic battle ground between Amiens and Montdidier again is the scene of a mighty contest. This time the British and French are the ag gressors and under their fierce on slaughts in the first day’s battle they have penetrated deeply into the Ger man positions over a front of more than 20 miles, reaching from the re gion of Braches to the neighborhood of MorlancourL Following short but intensive artil lery preparation and aided by misty weather, the allied attack took the Germans completely by surprise and they fled almost everywhere pell m’ell before the tanks, motor .machine gun batteries, cavalry and infantry sent against them. Al the objectives set for the Australians, anadians, English men and Frenchmen were attained in remarkably quick time, and at last ac counts the allied forces were still mak ing progress. W herever the enemy turned to give battle he was decisive ly defeated. Thousands of Germans were made prisoner. Large numbers of guns were captured, great quantities of war materials were taken and a score or more of villages and hamlets were re occupied. In addition, heavy casual ties were inflicted on the enemy. At its deepest point the penetration of the German line was about seven and a half miles' eastward from Vil- Iers-Bretonneux to Framerville, while from two to five miles were gained all along the front from ‘northwest of Montdidier to the region around Mor- lancourt. The fighting extended north of Morlancourt to the Albert sector, but no official 'details concerning It have been received. Well out on the plains and press ing forward, seemingly .with great rap idity, the present offensive of the French and Britsh gives promise of seriously menacing the entire Ger man front from near the sea to Rheims. If the drive should proceed eastward to any great depth it cannot but affect the’armies of the German crown prince now fighting betwen the AHne and the Vesle and possibly make Impracticable a stand by them even north of the Aisne.’ .Under the pressure of the offen sive the menace to the channel ports also seems for the moment at IeasL to vanish. Already there have been signs to the northward from the post-' tions where Crown Prince Rpprecht had formed his men for a drive toward the channel -that a retrograde move ment by the Germans was not improb able. It is apparent that Rupprecht will have to defer his campaign to cut off the cross-chanel serivee. ALL POSITIONS PREVIOUSLY ' GAINED STEADILY. HELD - BY STIFF FIGHTING. ALONG BATTLE FRONT CONDI.

Thirty-Five Thousand Prisoners In Addition to Supplies and 700 Can non Fall to Allies. ' The allied, armies have obtained fnrther successes over the Germans in fighting in- the Soissons-Rheims sector and to the north in the Mont- dldier region and still further north In Flanders between the Lawe and Clarence rivers. East of the town of Braisne on the VeBle River, midway between Sois- Bons and Rheims, American andr French troops after the stiffest kind of fighting have crossed the river and held all the positions gained. - In ad dition all the positions previously gained by the allied troops through out the entire Rheims-Soissons salient have been solidly held, notwithstand ing counter-atacks and the heavy ar tillery fire the enemy has poured down from the heights north of the Vesle upon, their antagonists. Near where the Vesde enters the AiBne east of Soissons the Ffench have over come the resistance of the enemy and taken the village of Ciry-Salsogne. In the Montdidier sector the French south and southeast of the town have further advanced their line on this important sector which represents the junction point of the arm ies. of the German crown prince and of Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria. It remained for the Britsh, how ever to deliver the hardest blow against the Germans. Following up a previous advance in the .famous Lys sector northwest of LaBasse, ’ Field Marshal Haig’s men pushed forward their line over a front of nearly five miles to a depth of a thousand yards. David Lloyd-George, the Bldtsih prime minister, addressing the house of commons, spoke optimistically of the status of the war from the allied standpoint. He characterized the present offensive on the Alsne-Marne front as the most brilliant in the an nals of the war and praised the part taken in it by the American troops. GOVERNMENT, NOT DRAFTEE, WILL DO THE SELECTING W ashington—New draft regulations under which the government would do the selecting rather than leaving it -to the registrant, are under consid eration by the war department. The war secretary made it plain that he is not satified with the pres ent system under which the regis trant must claim deferred classifica tion, as many men with dependents hesitate for patriotic reasons to make such a claim. In this, connection, Mr. Baker said, he was inclined to the opinion that the marriage rela tion will in itself constitute deferred classification. VILLAGE AND PRISONERS CAPTURED BY AMERICANS Paris (Havas Agency).—American troops have captured the village ot Flsmet, on the north bank of the Vesle river,, a short distance north west of Fismes, The official communication says the British and French troops continued their advance and won new victories. French troops took 4,000 prisoners, besides a large quantity of war mate- rials.. . PARiS-AMlENS RAILWAY AVAILABLE TO THE ALLIES - London--Another m portant result of the British and French advance is -that It has freed the main Pa?Ia- Amiens railway for use by the allies pain. This line heretofore has been within easy range of. the German guns and th e restriction thus placed on its use has been a considerable handicap to allied communications. 'A 'similar freeing of the Paris-Verdun line was one of the first important results Oithe recent advance on the Marne. GOVERNMENT TO TAKE OVER COLD. STORAGE PLANTS, ETC. Washington.—Investigation of the packing industry ot the country by the federal trade commission culmi nated In an announcement that the commission had recommended to President Wilson that the government commandeer and operate for the pub lic benefit stockyards, cold storage plants, warehouses and refrigerator and cattle carB. Monopolistic control of the essen tial food supply not only of the United States and its army and navy, but also ot the entente countries was charged by the commission against the five great* packing companies—Swift, Ar mour, Morris, Cudahy and Wilson. The last named company, the committee’s report said, is controlled by three of the strongest banking groups In the United States—Kuhn, Lo9b & Co., Guaranty Trust Co. and Chase Na tional bank. ICE FAMINE BLAMED ON NORFOLK MANUFACTURERS Norfolk, V a--R ear Admiral Harris, chairman of the war industries com m ute of the fifth naval district, no tified -the Norfolk & Portsmouth Trac tion Company that he would take over .and direct the distribution of all elec tric current, in order to conserve and utilise the supply for the more im portant lines of industry and transpor tation. The step was decided upon In order to relieve Uie present acute traction situation. NO MORE ENL1STMENT8 IN THE ARMY AND NAVY Washington.—Voluntary enlistment In the army and navy were completely suspended today to prevent disrup tion of industry pending disposition , of the bill proposing tc. extend draft ages to include all men between 18 and 45 ypars. Orders were issued by Secre taries Baker and ' 'Daniels , directing that no voluntary enlistments be ac cented until fnrther orders. The or ders also exclude-civilians from .ap pointment to officers’ training camps. TO HURL-ENTIRE STRENGTH AMERICAN ARMY ON GERMAN8 Washingon.—Backd by a reservoir of 5,000,000 American troops, Field Marshal Foch, supreme comander of the American and alied armies, is pre paring to harl the entire united mili tary strength of France, Great Brit ain and the United States against the Germanh on the western front in time to bring the war to a victorious con clusion In the shortest possible time. Next spring will see the terrific con flict, already In progress on the Aisne-Marne line, In full swing with Foch’s armies striking with all their power. This was the impression gained by members of the senate military com mittee who heard General March, chief of staff, explain in executive session the war department's reasons for ask ing extension of draft age limits to include all men betwen 18 and 45 years of age. They learned also that the definite decision to enlarge the American military program • to an army of five million men was reach ed about July 30 and is in acorj^ance with an agrement reched in Paris shortly before that time. The date when the United States decided to more than double the great effort it already.w as making end to bring its whole manpower to bear immediately, may be significanL General Foch’s smashing blow, which has flatened out the Alsne-Mame talient and has thrown the whole Ger man front from Rhqims to the sea into jeopardy, was struck July 15 with Amerlcah trops bearing their full share. AIRPLANE DISASTER AT LAKE CHARLES Lake Charles, La--Tw o. men were killed at Gerstner field, it was learn ed, in the storm which swept this sec tion, and the casualty list In the strick en area has reached 19 dead and 20 seriously ‘ injured. AU telegraph and telephone communication has been de stroyed. Twenty-two of the 24 hang ars on Gerstner aviation field near here were blown down and many air planes destroyed or entirely swept away by the tropical storm. GERMAN SUBMARINE IS AGAIN AT WORK Washington.—Destruction by a sub marine off Diamond Shoals lightship No. 71; a helpless craft anchored off Cape Hatteras to warn shipping from the treacherous shcals forming the "graveyard of the Atlantic coast,” con firms the belief of naval officials that German sea wolves sent to this side of the Atlantic are “under orders- to handicap commerce in all ways pos sible without exposing themselves QFFINAL Conditions- on the battlefront al mg the Vesle river betwen SoissonB and Rheims remain unchanged, and, rela tively speaking, there have been no developments of outstanding - import ance on the line running from the -re gion of Montdidier- toward tt.e Eng lish channel. In both regions, how ever, there is a tenseness which seems to forecast the approaching dawn of big events. ' The Germans have been sheUing heavUy the American and French sol diers who have made their way across to the northern bank of the Vesle or delivering ’ heavy counter-attacks against them, but everywhere they have met with a stonewal of resist ance that has not permitted them to counter-balance their losses of ground. But the Germans have not been permitted by the ellies to have a monopoly of the initiative. Where they have thrown shells against the Americans in the Fismes sector, Amer ican missiles have been returned .with added interest. T his. particular sec tor has been a veritable inferno. Gas against the Americans, who, with their gas masks adjusted, were vir tually unharmed by the noxious fumes. A kindly switch in the wind at one time even turned back the gas against the enemy. The French also have an swered the Germans in kind. ‘Thirty-five thousand prisoners and 700 cannon have been captured," said the premier, who added that Paris no longer was in danger, that Soissons and Chateau-Thierry have been recon quered and that 200 villages had been delivered through the formidable thrust of Foch’s men through the Soissons-Rheims alient. FINE RECORD IS MADE BY AMERICAN SHIP BUILDERS Washington.—W ith the launching of 12(1 vessels, totaling 631,944 dead weight' * tons,' and the 'delivery: of 41 others of 235,025 deadweight tons, new world shipbuilding records were es tablished in July by !American ship yards, the shipping board announc ed. The. July launchings alone were greater than those of any single year in the past. The launching included 67 steel vessels ot 43,244 deadweight tons; 53 wood ships of 187,70 deadweight tons, and three composite ships of 11,000 tons. The total tonnage launched this year is 1,719,536, being divided by months as follows: January, 88,507; February, 123,625; March, 172,611; April 160,286; May, 269,241; June, 283, 322; July, 631,944. HEAT RECORDS SMASHED IN NORTHEASTERN STATES Washington.—High temperature rec ords that have marked the limits of heat waves during all the period of official observation in the northeastern quarter of the United States were broken. Washington and Baltimore by weather bureau thermometers ex perienced a temperature of 106 de grees, a point not even approached by the mercury since 1881, and not reached then. In Detroit, Mich., Harr risburg, Pa., and Toledo, Ohio, with temperatures of 104, new records were established, as did Scranton, Pa., and Cleveland, Ohio, which each officially registered 100. Small hope for immediate relief for the eastern territory was seen by the weather experts. 'It was said, how ever, heat should slowly abate dur ing the next two days over most of the area now affected. OVER THE LAND OF THE LONGLFAF PINE SHORT NOTES' OF INTEREST TO CAROLINIANS. FRENCH CROSS AYRE RIVER; THREATEN GERMAN JUNCTION The French north of Montdidger have crossed to the west side of the Avre River between Braches and Mori- se t Here a fairly deep penetration in to the German line would become a direct menace to the junction point of the armies of the German crown prince and ot Crown Prince Rup- precht. On both sides of Amiens, where the Germans have given ground they are now heavily shelling British positions, using quantities ot gas. MORE THAN FIFTY WOMEN ARRESTED AT MEETING Asheville.—Harrison Hart was shot and perhaps fatally wounded here by Arnold Pruitt at the Zimmermaa slaughter house in West Asheville. ’ Pruitt fired twice, the first- bullet strik ing H art in the abdomen and passing entirely through the body.'

DISPATCHES FDOM MLEIGH Doings and Happenings That Mark the Progress of North Carolina Peo ple, Gathered Around the State Capital. Raleigh. It the efforts of the workers attach ed to the Agricultural Extension Ser ies of the State College of Agricul ture and State Department of Agri culture are successful, fairs to be held in the state this fall will be in the nature of food production and con- rervntion camps. This is especially true of the Exhibits to be made at the 58th State Fair to be held on October 21-26. Many counties have already signified their intention of entering into the county contests for which prizes amounting to $1,000 have been offered. In addition to these county exhibits, in which the field men and women Cf the Extension Service will have a part in collecting, the workers at Raleigh and Wost Raleigh are also planning to show the great results accomplished by their activities In agricultural work over the State. Conference of Cotton Ginners. A conference of cotton ginners and producers was called by State Food Administrator Henry A. Page to be held in the food administration of fices at Raleigh Tuesday morning, August 13th at 11 o’clock. The prin cipal object of the meeting is to dis cuss and if possible agree upon a farm price for cotton ginning during the approaching season inasmuch as every cotton ginner in North Carolina will operate under license this year and will be controlled by the food ad ministration the largest possible at tendance of ginners and producers is hoped for at this time. Mr. Page will also no doubt take opportunity to dis cuss to some extent the difficulties that confront the cotton seed indus try division of the food administra tion in its.contemplated plans for sta bilizing the industry for the coming season. Pig Club Members Hold Sale. The first sale of pure bred hogs to be held by members of the pig clubs will be at Wilmington on August 21st, when the pig club members of New Hanover county will sell approximate ly fifty -pigs. This sale is the out come of pig club work begun in New Hanover county last year by Mr. J. P. Herring, county agent of the agricul tural extension service, who. with the financial backing of the Wilmington Savings Bank & Trust Co., put out 36 registered Duroc Jersey pigs in the county. This bank bought the pigs at the request of Mr. Herring, and put them out with the boys and girls, tak ing their promissory notes for the ac tual cost price. This sale is unique, because of the fact that it is the first time the or ganized pig clubs have actually dem onstrated the fact that their work will be of value in spreading the gospel of pure bred swine out over the state. Corn club boys for several years now, have been seling highly selected seed CO1Ti- with excellent results. W ith the pig club boys now enter ing the market of pure bred hogs, im proved agriculture is given an added impetus In this state. Are You Drying Fruits? While large quantities of fruits and vegetables are being canned for win ter use. the housewife should not lose sight of the pqssibilities of conserving food by drying. Drying affords a prac tical and easy way of saving large quantities of food in small hulk with out using expensive containers, and It also furnishes a convenient, way of conserving portions of food that are too small for canning. A few ears of corn left from dinner, or a few apples or peas, or even a single carrot, ca nbe dried and saved. HeadReIiefCampaign. A telegram received -from Henry Morgenthau, announced that John M. Morehead had been appointed chair man of the Jewish relief campaign In Charlotte. He declared the proclama tion by Governor Biekett, in which he called upon the people of North Caro lina to respond to the call for $100.- 000 as this state’s part of the relief of Jews in war torn countries, is one of the inspiring Incidents of the cam paign, asserting that it "strikingly demonstrates our great national unity In the cause of humanity. i v ■ Vlled State’s Brief. Special from Washington.—Attorney General Manning of North Carolina has filed the state’s brief in the suit of Fred A. Perley and W. H. Crockett, of Asheville, who attacked the consti tutionality of a 1913 law requiring re moval of debris from logged off tim ber lands near watersheds of cities. The brief contends that the state stat ute is necessary to protect the. water supply of municipalities from contam ination and also for protection against fire. HIgher Prloes for W heat North Caroliiia farmers will receive from 15 to 20 cents per bushel more for this year’s crop of wheat than they did for last year's crop, according to a.statem ent from food administration 'officials. The whole policy of the food administration grain corporation for the stabilization of the flour and wheat industries has been changed and under the new permanent plan maximum prices are, in effect, fixed for flour and for mill feeds. Each mill in the state has its own. indi vidual basis and the average prices in the state are approximately $10.85 per barrel for flour and $32.50 per ton for mill feeds. These prices are bulk, carlots, at mills, and mills are allow ed to add cost of bags and, where the products are sold to retailers or con sumers, they are allowed to add one dealer’s profit. According to the permanent plan of the grain corporation, the average "fair price” for wheat In North Caro lina is approximately $2.45 per bushel on a basis of No. I red winter wheat. The prices for No. 2 wheat would be $2.41 and the price for No. 3, into which most of the wheat In North Carolina this year will fall, wo Bid be approximately $2.38.

At Wrightsville Beach August 12-14 there will be held the annual insti tute for fire fighters and electrical and building inspectors under , the direction of James R. Young, insurance com missioner and fire marshal for \ North Carolina. The commissioner expects to have in attendance city officials, firemen, inspectors, officers and em ployes of electrical companies and electrical contractors and workmen and the institute will be devoted to earnest study of North Carolina needs in effort for reduction of fire waste and expert instruction and exchange of ideas as to the discharge of official duties of inspectors and fire fighters. Commissioner Young has written urgent letters to fire marshals, to may ors and other executive officials of cities and towns all through the state urging that they come and especially that they send their chiefs of fire de partments and building- and .electrical inspectors. He urges that there is no reason for an annual loss of $4 000,- 000 and 300 lives in North Carolina' through fires, mostly preventable. Exploiting Ignorance. State and federal author* Ips are much interested in putting an end as far as possible to a growing practice by unscrupulous tradesmen of ex ploiting the ignorance of credu lity of negroes and ignorant white people through trading them compara tively worthless articles or stocks for their war savings stamps, certificates and Liberty bonds, through repre senting to the holders of these securi ties that it will be a long while before they can realize on them or really gel their money. Exhibit of Holstelns. As a result of the exhibit of Holstein cattle on Pack Square in Asheville. Mr. J. A.

PB A NEW SUIT What It Means If 105,000,000 People Refuse to Economize on Clothing. NATION HURT IN MANY WAYS One of Numerous Cases In Point Vivid ly Illustrates the Vital Necessity of "Saving to Save the Country” in War Time. By PAUL M. WARBURG, •Vice Governor of the Federal Reserve Board. I am one of one hundred and five million of inhabitants of the United States; my duties are the same as those, of every other true American, and those o’f every other true Ameri can are the-same as mine. Whatever I contribute to the cause of the coun try, I may expect to see done—each in his own way—by 105,000,000 people. Let us suppose for the purpose of illustration that I decide that I shall effect a saving on clothes. I might se lect boots, automobiles, umbrellas, or any other article for which I regularly spend my money, as I have no desire to single out any one commodity, but clothes lend themselves to my thought, so I name them. If I make up my mind, then, at this juncture that to wear old clothes is more respectable than to be seen in new ones; if I de cide to buy one new suit of clothes less than I usually purchase each year, and If I figure that suit to cost no more than $10—the country as a ivhole, should we all pull together and act on the same lines, would save thereby over one billion dollars. It is true fhat In dealing with our 105,000,000 population we include children and many poor people that could not save ten dollars each because they never spend more for clothes than they absolutely-must. But on the other hand $10 Is a much smaller amount than the average man or woman spends for a new suit of clothes. The assumption that a billion dollars could easily be saved on clothes may, therefore, be accepted as conser vative. The first thought that occurs to us In this connection is, that by this sav ing in clothes over one billion dollars would be freed to be invested in Lib-, erty loan bonds. That is the first Im portant and most obvious result. But there are other economic results in volved in this saving that are of far greater importance than the mere sav ing of money. Economic Results Are VasL Let us consider first what one billion dollars’ worth of clothes means. Sup pose they were half-WQol and half-cot ton and that the value of the raw ma terial constituted only 50 per cent of the price paid by the ultimate consum er, that would, at the present price of 60 cents per pound for wool and 30 cents per pound for cotton respectively, represent 208,334 tons of wool and 416,- 667 tons of cotton. Can you imagine how much freight space would be re quired on water and on land, in mov ing this mass of raw material? Do you realize that if these bales were put into freight cars, assuming a load ing capacity of 16 tons per car for wool and 13 tons per car for cotton, this would represent 13,021 box cars loaded with wool and 32,056 box cars loaded with cotton? Assuming 75 cars per train, there would be about 600 trains; the total length of these trains would be approximately 314 miles, and these trains, hauled by 600 engines, when standing in line would approxi mately cover the distance from Balti more to Pittsburgh? Can you imagine th# amount of coal consumed In first transporting and then weaving this raw material into cloth? Can you Im agine the number of hands employed in these processes? And then consider that more coal, more labor and more transportation are required In distrib uting the cloth and again more labor and more material In converting It into clothes, and again more labor and transportation in retailing the finished product to the>finnl consumer. Let us be mindful that all the time these processes are being carried on, Uncle Sam is short of the men neces sary to dispatch his war work, and furthermore that shortage of coal and the clogging of the wheels of transpor tation have stopped his progress at most critical moments and in the pres ent emergency’ continue to remain a constant menace to the country. May Cost Your Son's Life. My new suit of clothes-means', there fore, delay for our military operations; delay in transporting” and equipping men, and in sending to them, and to our allies, the supplies they need; means increased losses and a longer duration of the war. My new suit of clothes may cost, therefore, the life of my son. The supply of goods, of labor and of transportation is limited. It is a mat ter of common agreement that this lim ited supply is not sufficient freely to' satisfy all wants and that unrestricted attempts on the part of each individual to satisfy his own requirements may lead to a wild scramble and destruc tive competition with the government,’ resulting in fatal delay and endless in crease in prices. The loaf of-bread-available for our selves and for bur allies Is not large enough to “go around” if we all want to eat more thaw ls absolutely neces sary for our maintenance. It is every body’s duty,-therefore, at this time to “tighten his belt” and-to make a genu ine effort to Uve on os thin a slice of the loaf, as he can. Unless that be done we must buy additional food In neutral countries, thereby using ton nage’that should be kept avallnble for our military operations and increasing our difficulties in adjusting our trade balances with neutral countries. . Hurts Uncle Sam in Many Ways. To return to our story of the suit of clothes: During last year the United States had to Import 421,000,000.pounds of wool, representing a value of about $172,000,000. About half of this came from Argentina. Our suits of clothes called\Jor a SubstavUtiaI portion of this wool nnd therefore to that extent rob bed Uncle Sam of the- use of his ships. Moreover, our factories being busy in producing the things required for the prosecution of the war and our home consumption still proceeding at almost top speed, the quantity of goods avail able for shipment to Argentina in pay ment for the wool (or for that m atter to Chile for nitrates, to Peru for cop per, and so on), is insufficient. As a consequence the United States had to pay for more goods In South America than South America has had to p a; for goods bought In the United States, thereby causing a decline of dollar ex change in these neutral countries. This shrinkage in the price of the dollar means that It has lost a corresponding part of its purchasing power In neutral countries. The scarcity of goods avail able for our export trade has thus be come a serious obstacle In obr way In trying to secure at reasonable prices or in adequate quantities some of the things that we absolutely require from foreign countries. My suit of clothes has hurt Uncle Sam, therefore, in several ways: I have consumed more wool than neces sary and thereby forced the United States to import a correspondingly large quantity of this article; I have consumed more cotton goods than nec essary and to that extent have de prived Uncle Sam of the means with which to pay for the minimum of wool which we may have to import. Clothing but One of Many. I have used the illustration of a new suit of clothes; It would be easy, though somewhat tedious, to show that we have been dealing only with one case In poinh The country is short at this time of hides and skins and has to import large quantities from neutral countries because we are ex travagant in our individual purchases of shoes. Similarly, though we are the largest producers of copper, we are forced to import copper from Peru be cause or civilian population has not begun sufficiently to curtail its use. In like manner we might ask ourselves is it at all excusable that at this time we still manufacture such articles as silk stockings, when every thread of silk must be imported, while we could use our own cotton? It Is impossible and unnecessary to enumerate the many articles that are in a similar position. Many billions of dollars can easily be saved when once we are capable of realizing the cumulative effect of individual “sav ing;” take the word “saving” In' its larger meaning, as involving not only money, but also goods and services. If every individual could be made to see with his own- eyes that neglect of saving of this sort means decreased war efficiency, a prolongation of the war, and a larger number of casual ties; If every one who has a son or dear relative on the fighting lines across the water could be made to feel that millions of small savings directly affect his boy—there would be no t doubt that we could secure the most conscientious and enthusiastic co-op eration of all the people.- Thus far— we must say with regret—of 105,000,- 000 people, 100,000,000-do not see the connection between the suit of clothes and the life of the boy. Germany’s Enforced Economy. Germany’s military success is large ly predicated upon her ability to cen ter the entire national effort upon the business of war. It is safe to say that she never would have been able to bear the burdens of the fight as well as she has during these four long years had it not been for the enforced savings In material, money and men' brought about through the British blockade. If it had not been for the stern necessities created by that block ade the German people would not have been willing to submit to famine ra tions as to food, clothes, shoes and other H inllar articles. Industries ca tering to the appetites and extrava gances of the masses would have kept men and material from, the government instead of making everything available for the war work of the government, and financially she would have ex hausted herself by buying Hiingn abroad that she could go without or for which she had to strain her In genuity In finding or creating substi tutes. ' • It is difficult to bring about drastic economy- without the compulsion ex ercised by hard necessity. For us the problem Is whether or not, of onr own free will, we shall be’able to estab lish our own voluntary blockade against waste and extravagance. It Is a problem whose solution requires the greatest intelligence and the greatest degree of unselfish patriotism. It is a problem that will put the spirit of our people to the severest test. The government is not devoid of means of promoting economy. The war Industries board, the food and fuel administrations, the capital Issues committee, the department of labor and department of agriculture all moye In the same direction of increasing necessary production and decreasing unnecessary consumption. Full success, however, may be count ed upon only if the whole-hearted co operation of every citizen of the United States can be enlisted. THOUGHT HIM DEAD, MARRIES ANOTHER Destiny That Separated Young Couple in Russia Reunites Them in America. MODERN ENOCH ARDEN Young Russian in United States ' Army Meets Wife, Who, Believing Him Executed In Russia, Had Wed Again. San Francisco.—The same destiny that tore William Shavchenko from his seventeen-year-old' bride, Dora, in Bussia six years ago and led her to believe that he had been executed for a political crime against the czar, has restored him to her In free America. But now she is the wife of Michael Bakanoff and the m other of his three- year-old son. Shavchenko is in the United States army, a private a t Camp Fremont, near here. And Dora Bakanoff loves this modern Enoch Arden just as she loved him when they were m arried In Rostov-on-Don. Wants Her Child. Mrs. Bakanoff has left her present husband and sued for the possession of her child. She says she will ask an annulment of her marriage to him in 1914. After Shavchenko had been carried away by the czar’s troops and presum ably executed his young wife came to the United States, where she married Bakanoff. Shortly after the birth of their son they quarreled and the wife left her husband. She obtained work In a home near where. Camp Fremont now is, and-a few weeks ago an officer from the camp, accompanied by a private, came to visit at the home. The private was Shavchenko. “Our maid is a Russian," said the nostess when she learned of Shav- chenko’s nationality. “Suppose you talk together." Truth Dawns Upon Them. As they were about to be intro duced the eyes of the Russian couple m et and when the truth dawned upon them they rushed into each other’s arms, much to the alarm of the army officer and his hostess. Then Shavchenko told his story. He had escaped from the Russian guard. \ t(& Rushed Into Each Other’s- Arms. fled through Austria and eventually reached America. 1 “Not until I had shaken the dust oil Europe did I dare write to you,” he told his wife. "Only when I learned that they could not take mq from America for a political offense did I write home. And always the answer cam e: rWe do not’ know where she is.’” “Thank God that he put you In this one camp out of the many and brought you back to m e!” wept Dora.

CHAPTER XVI—Continued. —11— “I came out with the first expedl- donnry force, and, like all the rest, thought we would have the enemy liclted in jig time, and be able to eat Christmas dinner at home. Well, so far, I have eaten Swq Christmas din ners in the trenches, and am liable to eat two more, the way things are pointing. That is, if Pritz don’t drop a ‘whizz-bang’ on me, and send me to Blighty. Sometimes I wish r would get hit, because it’s no great picnic out here, and twenty-two months of it makes you fed up. “It’s fairly cushy now compared to what It used to be, although I admit this trench is a trifle rough. Now. we send over five shells to their one. We are getting our own back, but In the early days it was different. Then you had to take everything without reply. In fact, we would get twenty shells In return for every one we sent over. Fritz seemed to enjoy it, but we British didn’t; we were the suf ferers. Just one casualty after an other. Sometimes whole platoons would disappear, especially when a •Jack Johnson’ plunked into their middle. It got so bad that a fellow, when writing home, wouldn’t ask for any cigarettes to be sent out, because he was afraid he wouldn’t be there to receive them. . . "After the drive to Paris was turned back, trench warfare started. Our general grabbed a map, drew a pencil across it, and said, ‘Dig here.’ Then he went back to his tea, and Tommy armed himself with a pick and shovel and started digging. He’s been dig ging ever since. “Of course we dug those trenches at night, but it was hot work, what with the rifle and machine-gun fire. The stretcher bearers worked harder than the diggers. “Those trenches, bloomin’' ditches, I call them, were nightmares. They were only about five feet deep, and you used to get the backache from bending down. It wasn’t exactly safe to stand upright, either, because as soon as your napper showed over the top. a bullet would bounce off it, or else come so close it would make your hair stand. “We used to fill sandbags and stick them on top of the parapet to make it higher, but no use; they would be there about an hour and then Fritz would turn loose and blow them to bits. My neck used to be sore from ducking shells and bullets. “Where my battery was stationed a hasty trench had been dug, which the boys nicknamed. ‘Suicide ditch,’ and, believe me, Tank, this was the origins) ‘Suicide ditch.* All the others are imitations. "Wh-jn a fellow went into that trench it was an even gamble that he would come out on a stretcher. At one time a Scotch battalion held it, and when they heard the betting was even money that they’d come out on stretchers, they grabbed all the bets In sight. Like a lot of bally idiots, sev eral of the battery men fell for their game, and put up real money. The ‘Jocks’ suffered a lot of casualties, and the prospects looked bright for the battery men to collect some easy money. So when the battalion was re lieved the gamblers lined up. Several ‘Jocks’ got their money for emerging safely, but the ones "who clicked it weren’t there to puy. The artillery men had never thought it out that way. Those Scotties were bound to be sure winners, no m atter how the wind blew. So taiw. a tip from me, never bet with a Scottie, ’cause you’ll lose money. “At one pnrt of our trench where a communication trench joined the front line a Tommy had stuck np a wooden signpost with three hands or arms on it. One of the hands, point ing to the German lines, read, *To Ber lin the- one pointing down ths com munication trench read, T o Blighty,’ while the other said, ‘Suicide Ditch, Change Here for Stretchers.’ “Farther down from this guide post the trench ran through an old orchard. On the edge of this orchard our bat tery had constructed an advanced ob servation p ost. The trees screened it from the enemy airmen and the roof was turfed. It wasn’t cushy like ours, no timber or concrete re-enforcements, just walls of sandbags. From it a splendid, view of the German lines could be obtained. This post wasn’t exactly safe. It was a hot corner, shells plunking all around, and the bullets cutting leaves off the trees. Many a time when relieving the sig naler at the ’phone, I had to crawl pn my belly like a worm to keep from •being hit. “It was an observation post sure enough. That’s all the use it was.’Just observe all day, but never a message back for .oui battery to open up. You see, at this point of the line there were strict orders not to fire a shell, unless specially ordered to do so from brigade headquarters. BUme me, if anyone disobeyed that command, our general—yes, it was OH Pepper— would have court-martialed the whole expeditionary force. Nobody went out of their way to disobey Old Pepper In those days, because he couldn’t , be called a parson; he was more Uke a pirate. If at any time the devil shonld feel lonely and sigh for a proper mate, Old Pepper would get the first call. Facing the Germans wasn’t 'half bad compared with an interview with that old firebrand. “If a company or battalion should give way a few yards against a su perior force of Boches, Old Pepper would send for the commanding offi cer. In about’ half an hour the officer would come back with his face the color of a brick, and In a few hours what was left of his command would be holding their original position. ‘I have seen an officer who wouldn’t say d n for a thousand quid spend five minntes with the old boy, nnd when he returned the flow of language from his lips- would make a navvy blush for shame. A '8sk§s $ "What I am going to tell you Is how two of us put it over on the old scamp, and got away, with It. It was a risky thing, too, because Old Pepper wouldn’t have been exactly mild with us if he had got next to the game. “Me and. my mate, a lad named H ar ry Cassell, a bombardier In^D 238 bat tery, or lance corporal, as yon call It In the infantry, used to relieve Uie telephonists. We would do two hours on and four off. I would be on auty In the advanced observation post, while he would be at the other end oi the wire In the battery dugont signal ing station. We were supposed to send lJirough orders for the battery to fire when ordered to do so by the observa tion officer Ir the advanced post. Bul very few messages were sent. It was only in case of an actual attack that we would get a chance to earn our ‘two and six’ a day. „ Ton see, Old Pep per had Issued orders not to fire ex cept when the orders came from him And with Old Pepper orders is orders, and made to obey. “The Germans must have known about these orders, for even in.the iay their transports and troops used tc expose themselves as i f they were CO parade. ,This sure got up our nose, sitting, there day after day, with fine targets in front of us >ut unable to send over a shell. We heartily cussed Old Pepper, his orders, the govern ment, the people at home, and every thing in general. Bat the Boches didn’t mind cussing, and got very care less. Blime me, they were bally in sulting. Used to, when using a certain I1Uaj, throw their caps into the air an a taunt at our helplessness. “Cassell had been a telegrapher In civil life and joined up when war was declared. As for me, I knew Morse learned it s t the signalers’ school bacl in 1910. W ith an officer in the obser vation post, we could not carry on the kind of conversation that’s usual be tween two mates, so we used the Morse code. To send, one of us would tap the transm itter with his finger nails, and the one on the other end would get it through the receiver. Many nn hour was whiled away in this manner passing compliments back and forth. “In the observation post the officer usefl to sit for hours with a powerful pait of field glasses to his eyes. Through a cleverly concealed loophole he would scan the ground, behind the German trenches, looking for targets and finding many.' This officer, Cap tain A by name, had a habit ol talking out loud to himself. Some-' times he would vent his opinion, same as a common private does when he’* wrought up. . Once upon a time the captain bad been on Old Pepper’s staff so he could cuss and blind in the most approved style. Got to be sort of * habit with him. “About six thousand yards from us. behind the German lines, was a road In plain view of our post. For the last three days Fritz had brought compa nies of troops down this road in broad daylight. They were never shelled. Whenever this happened the captain would froth a t the mouth and let out a volume of Old Pepper’s religion which used to make me love him. “Every battery has a range chart on which distinctive landmarks are noted, with the range for each. These land marks are called targets, and are num bered. On our battery’s chart, that road was called ‘Target 17, Bange 6000,3 degrees 30 minutes left.’ D 238 battery consisted of four ‘4.5’ howit zers, and fired a 35-pound H. E. shell As yon know, H. B. means *high ex plosive.’ I don’t like bumming up my own battery, but we had a record In the division for direct hits, and our boys were just pining away for a chance to exhibit their skill the eyes of Fritz. “On the afternoon of the fourth day of Fritz’ contemptuous use of the road mentioned the captain and I were at our posts as nsual. Fritz was strafe- Ing us pretty rough, just like he’s doing now. The shells were playing leap frog all through that orchard. “I was carrying on a conversation In our ‘tap’ code with Cassell at the other end. It ran something like this: “ ‘Say, Cassell, how would you like to be in the saloon bar of the King’s Arms down Rye lane wfth a bottle oi Bass in front of you, and that blonde barmaid waiting to fill ’em Up ngninT1 The next installment relates how two artillerymen “put one over” on Old Pepper.

WE + From the Kea (jross xvews Bullenn the following quotations will bring good cheer to those whose relatives are In the service: No better advice could be given to soldiers in camp or about to leave for camp than this: “Tell your troubles to the Red Cross field director.” In every camp and cantonment there is an official Red Cross representative whose sole business Is to cater to the needs of enlisted men. If a soldier is worried about his family back home this Red Cross man will see that the problem is solved sat isfactorily. If the soldier or sailor is sick In camp and cannot write to his relatives or family, the Red Cross man will at tend to it for him. In short, the Red Cross bureau of military relief is organized to help en listed men In every way and the Red Cross is eager to have the men use this service. The Red Cross field director can be found at Red Cross headquarters in side the camp cantonment. ‘ No mat ter what the soldier or sailor’s prob lem may he, he will do well to consult this representative. One reason the American people re cently gave $170,000,000 to the Red Cross was to continue-thls service and enlisted men should avail themselves of it freely. The families of soldiers and sailors also should appeal to their local Red Cross chapters for help in ,ai.y situa tion. The help always is confidential. There will be no publicity. Camp service has grown to be one of the largest phases of*Red Cross work. ■ To indicate the volume of iliis work it may be stated that up to April 30, 1918, the Red Cross had distributed 1,822,906 sweaters, 641,971 niufflers. 623,972 wristlets, 454.569 helmets, 1,392,352 pairs of socks. The work for the families Os.' enlisted men by the home service department has been equally impressive. To June 15 service had been given In some form to 202,302 families and $.2;054,827 had be^n expended in this relief work. There are now 20,696 home service workers in the United States under R ed' Cross supervision. Then there is the canteen service with more than 700 units ready to meet troop trains to giv-> refreshments to the men, or to take care of those vjIio become sick en route. The convalescent houses are nearing completion in all camps to afford en listed men a bright, cheerful environ ment for their hours of convalescence. Provision is made for entertainment and social diversions, which are pow erful aids in the convalescent stage. The communication service of the Red Cross keeps families of enlisted men informed of their welfare both here and abroad, if the men are sick,' wounded or captured and unable to keep up correspondence.

ONLY ONE CAUSE FOR WORRY First impressions of the new fall suits leave a sense of their sturdiness and easy lines in the mind before the eye begins to sum up all the details that pronounce them the creations of this season. Dark mixtures, plain cloths with, soft finish and the attri bute of warmth—In their appear ance at least—in browns, blues, greens and grays, appear popular in the showings in the same order as they are mentioned here. Browi* id several warm and several' dark shades has been chosen for street and for formal suits, with'such persistence that it'may displace navy blue which has had a phenomenal vogue. Browns and mix tures in brown and gray seem some how to associate themselves in tfce mind with khaki and in a few of the new models the styles are very dis tinctly of military origin. In ordinary street suits many of the new coats are semifitting, with a loose, narrow belt of the fabric, defining a high waistline. There are some new double-breasted models In which the lapped-over fronts are trimmed away in several novel ways. On both single and double-breasted styles necks are high and coats button up to the-top of- the collar which is more than tall enough to reach the chin. Sometimes the col.lars are of the turn-over variety, but oftener they are straight and wrinkle when they are buttoned np close about the throat. Patch pockets and - medium-sized bone buttons, that match the cloth In the suit in' color, appear with such frequency that they may be considered features- of the new styles. Collars are not always of the same material as the coat, for velvet and fur are used In many of them. A’practical and pretty suit for the i^ollege girl who must noW be outfitted with a wardrobe for fall, is shown in the picture. It is- a double-breasted model In a dark mixture, with plain brown v-elvet turn-over collar that but tons up about the throat. Its belt fastens with a buckle covered with the material, and its buttons- match the cloth in color. The coat is even in length all around and somewhat longer than those of the past season. The skirt Is plain, ankle length and wide enough for comfortable walking. Fur Used Less. In the new suits for fall the absence of fur trimmings is notable. This is partly on account of the very high prices'of furs now and partly because women are at present wearing all sorts of long stoles, capes and doatees o* fur over their suits and dresses. It is thought this fad will carry into the coming fall and winter, and now In these days of thought for conservation of materials, all these littie items are considered by the manufacturers. Colored Felt Hats. The milliners have brought out col ored felt hats for summer as a sub stitute for straw. They are In bril liant and neutral tones, and are heaped with gorgeous flowers. It is the advent of the trimmed hat, which all milliners have ardently desired. Neyv Waistcoats. The prettiest of the new waistcoats or little sleeveless bodices that are so much worn with street suits are made in slip-on fashion, with no front clos ing. This design gives the makers a chance for decidedly attractive effects, in the way of tucks and frills and ruf- flings on the front.

He went to a chemist and said to the man: ‘Give me something that will bnnish from my mind the thought of sorrow and bitter recollection!!.’ ’ That chemist must have been an obliging chap, for he made up a dose of quinine, epsom salts, wormwood and a little castor oil fur Mason to take, and the poor old chap can’t think of anything now ex cept new schemes for getting the taste out of his mouth.” Dad’s Great Scheme.

Sweetbreads, being perishable meat, are one of the best of summer meats which we may feel free to use. When the price Is not prohibitive they should be fre quently served. S w e e tb re a d s should be fresh, as thev spoil quickly. Remove all the skin, nbers and tubes without breaking the sweetbreads themselves. Soak -in cold water for an hour, changing It often to extract all the blood. Drain and put to cook In simmering water for 20 minutes. Use the broth in which they were cooked as a basis for the sauce In which to serve them. Plunge the sweetbreads as soon as cooked into cold water _ to keep them firm and white. If to be baked, wrap each sweetbread In a cheesecloth and put It under a weight. Braisld Sweetbreads.—Place In a baking pan a layer of new peas and small carrots with new potaoes; on this bed of vegetables place the pre pared sweetbreads with a few cubes of fat salt pork. Add enough of the stock In which the sweetbreads were cooked to cover the vegetables. Cover tight and cook about forty minutes. Season with salt und pepper during the cooking. Sweetbreads in Gelatine.—Cut into small dice two cupfuls of cooked sweetbreads. Soak a tablespoonful of. gelatine In one-quarter of a cupful of” the broth and dissolve It in half a cup ful of hot broth. Add the sweetbreads, one tablespoonful of lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. Stand the mixture In a:pan of Ice water, stir fre quently and as It begins to stiffen fold In one cupful of whipped cream and two tablespoonfuls of chopped parsley. Turn Into molds and chill. Serve In slices laid on crisp lettuce leaves. Tomatoes Stuffed With Sweetbreads. —Peel and scoop put the centers of medium-sized tomatoes, sprinkle with salt and invert to drain. Set on ice to chill. - Cut sweetbreads previously cooked, into dice, add a few cooked as paragus tips, a spoonful of minced green pepper, season well with salt and paprika, add lqayonnaise dressing to moisten, and fill the tomatoes.

W orkers Teach Returned Russian Soldiers Useful I Trades W ith't^e Government at W ashington prepared to lend economic and philanthropic support to Russia, the National War Work Cooncil of the Ti- M. C. AJ is actively recruiting to reinforce the Red Triangle workers already manning huts over there. Agricultural experts, physical direc tors and regular Y. M. C. A. secretaries as well as other men familiar with welfare work in communities are being sought. A further consideration of a definite policy toward Russia has served TlrtiiaIly bd a “go-ahead” order to the association. The Y. M. C. A., through all uncertaintiw of the past few months, has kept 100 of its secretaries in Russia. These m et hav» been kept busy day and night in an effort to build up tile morale of tbs citizens and soldiers of the unfortunate coun try. The secretaries today are in all parts of Russia. - In the'dark days of Russia the Amerlcua secretaries “stood by’’ all- over that country to serve the people in every way possible. Thousands of invalid prisoners were taken care of as they returned fr«m Germany. Most all the men were broken in health. They died, almost without exception, with curses against Germany. But greater even than their hatred was their wonder that their countrymen could have made “peace” with s»ici an enemy. “The T. M. C. A. leaders in Russia,” said Dr. W. JV. Alexander, direc tor of the'W ar Personnel Board of the Southeastern Department, National W ar Work Council, “have never doubted the essential soundness of the Russian people. Despite all difficulties and inevitable losses and discour agements, the T. M. C: A. has remained in Russia, seeking to serve and watching for a better day. The day is now evidently coming.” Fifteen new secretaries, with ability to contribute some constroctire element to the Russian life of the future are being searched fpr throughout the Southeastern Departm ent Some agriculturists are wanted, some business men, but the call comes stronger for men sltilled in rural T. M. C. A. and Community work. All are to go with the purpose of helplag Russia help herself.

A Vigorous campaign to bring about the elimination of lhe teaching of Ger man in the public schools of the coun try and ; to obtain the discontinuance of the,publication of uewspapers print ed in Gerumn has been launched by Vhe National Security Lenguel To or ganize its effort for these ends the League has formed a Committee- on Foreign Language and Foreign Press, which will carry the fight into every nook and corner of the United States. The Committee is composed of Col. Charles B. Lydecker1 member of the Board of ,Trustees of the College of the City of New. York and Chairman of the Na-iOiial Security League’s Board of Directors; Edward H. Clark, Treasurer of the Security League; Ernest C. Brown, well known New Xork editor and publisher, and Dr. Robert M. McElroy, Educational direc tor of the Nationnl -Security League under leave of absence from Princeton University, WiIiere lie is liead of- the Department of History and Politics. Stop Advertising. The principal basis of the Commit tee’s campaign against German news papers will be the obtaining of the dis continuance of advertising in them. Col. Lydecker’s committee has laid the following plan of campaign before the Chairmen and Secretaries of all the 281 branches of the Security League: “There is no immediate need to have laws enacted to suppress the foreign language dailies. In towns where there is a strong patriotic senti ment a hostile minority should be per suaded by a clear and forceful expres sion of the views of the majority that ours must be, from this time forward, a one language nation-. “See Our Mistake." “If a community will not support a newsdealer who handles the daily pa pers printed In foreign tongues it can thereby force him to deal only In Eng lish language papers. ..‘-'Recognizing a general willingness to be patriotic and the rapid acqui escence from many quarters to compel the use of English dailies, we urge reasonably active measures on the part of the branches of the League. Jus tice requires this, for the fault does not lie wholly with the alien. We have failed hitherto to provide the machin ery of. education which the welding process required. We Iiave counte nanced and even encouraged the idea of preserving linquistic and racial groups in. opr midst. At last we see our mistake, and we must correct It as speedily as justice will allow. "But we must not forget, and we must not allow alien enemies to for get, that this is a time of war. Quick processes of producing unity are justi fied by the peril of those institutions which we hold In trust for all human ity. Newsdealers. “We therefore suggest; °(a) Meetings of citizens to express a one language sentiment. “ (b) Discontinuance of ail advertis ing in papers printed In the tongues of enemy nations. . “(c) Procuring co-operation of news dealers.” BIfi SOULED MEN NEEDEDINV.M.C.A. For Overseas Work With Red Triangle Forces — 500 Recruits Asked For Out Of Southeast During July AN APPEAL TO ALL Patriotig1Women Mrs. Thomas J. Preston, Jr, (Formerly Mrs; Grover Cleve land) Urges Women of NationtoStandFirm. “We can win if America can' be held Bteadfast and unswerving, and the wo men of America can bold her stead fast. Against nil temptations to com promise the women of America should s t a n d f ir m and united," says 'Mhjl ,Thomas J. Preston, Jr. (formerly Mrs. Grover Cleveland), in a message to the women ot America, m a d e p u b l i c through the Na tional S e c u r it y League. Mrs. Preston is T I !,active in the Seeur-Mr«.T.J.FVestonfJr.lty League ^ She. was the first woman to become a member of the League’s National Ex ecutive Committee, and Is secretary of the League’s Committee on Patriotism Through Education. Mrs. Preston’s message to the wo men of the country reads In full: “Proclaim Liberty.” “ ‘Proclaim Liberty throughout ALL TEffi LAND unto <M1 the inhabitants thereof.’ “These words were written about 1490 years before Christ, as part of the Law of Holiness In the Book of Leviticus. Our fathers Inscribed them upon the Liberty Bell which called our mighty nation into - life. “Today ‘all the inhabitants' enjoy liberty, the Jew and the Gentile, the -rich and the poor, the native and the alien-born, the weak and the strong. The old Liberty Bell Is silent, for its voice has been heard ‘throughout all the land.’ “But Liberty Is not safe. It Is men aced along the battle fronts of many nations, our own among them, and America requires a new motto for her old Bell: ‘Proclaim liberty through out ALL LANDS unto ail the Inhab itants thereof.’ Until liberty is safe in all lands, it'can not be safe In our own. Hence the task to which Amer ica has reverently and unselfishly ded icated herself. “Make Motto Real.” “The Fathers of-thls Republic, men of many races, with a common love of liberty, wrought into law our ancient motto, thus giving liberty a chaijce to enlighten tbe world. “Today we, their descendents, are called upon to make real the new motto,, and thug to give liberty the- undisputed right to bless the world. “This can be done but only after heroic struggle and self-sacrifice. A premature peace would mean failure. It would be only less disastrous than complete defeat Against all tempta tions to compromise the women of America should stand firm and united. "Peace and Safety.” “Victory means peace and safety for our children; defeat means hu miliation and practical servitude for them ; while a negotiated peace, with the military machine of Prussia un broken, means that everything in their lives must be subordinated to the task of preparing for another war with Germany. We 'can win now if Amer ica can be held steadfast -and un swerving, and the women of AmAica can 'hold her steadfast.” “Pass the word on, and pass It quickly, that 500 of the most capable, earnest and big souled Christian busi ness men are needed immediately out of the Southeastern Department for oyerseas work with the Red Triangle Forces,”- according to Dr. W. W. Alex ander, director of the W ar Personnel Bureau, Army and Navy Y. M. C. A., for the Southeastern Department. The quota of 600 for'the department for the past month was exceeded by 1'28 en listments. The call now comes for executives, of much business experience and spe cialists in all lines. No man in Amer ica is too big for the smallest Y. M. C.

We have had very little to say along through the year, about the newspaper men of our state who, more perhaps, than any other c ass spend their lives iu the service of others. They are not more virtu ous or patriotic or unselfish than men in other callings, but' uuder modern conditions they are obliged to hide themselves, and push oth er people into the lime light. This was not always true. In the long ago the editor was the most bump tious egotist in the community. “ Our” interests out “ family,” our “ personal” promotion was of the first consideration. If “ we” took a ten mile trip, everybody must know it; if “ we” were made chair man of a county primaiy or of a school board the fact was duly pa raded. The personality of the ed itor was paramount and everybody else took a lower place. It is not so now, Thanks to tne good sense of the people and the editors them selves. The (fellow who parades his personality or his family, or his achievements, is laughed at by the public and loses out at once. Even the deep bereavements that shadow the lives of editors, as they do the lives of other; must be Bup pressed, and the sore heart must suffer in silence. Much every way has been gained by this change iu the attitude of the paper to the people. We live to serve, aud we deserve no special credit lor it be cause the limes demand it. But while the editor must perforce hide front the public view, we may be -permitted to say our newspaper people are in the very foremost rank of our progressive and" patri otic citizenship. Not a paper of any political or religious creed, but stands solidly behind Presi dent Wilson’s administration as it is locked with Germany in a life and dsath struggle. Aud it is not because these editors are muz zied in this matter—they are heart aud soul iu sympathy with the complete aud everlasting over throw of the Hunsv Their space and lime aud talent are freely of fered on the altar. These iu the dark are also ready Io help every movement that- has for. its object the betterment of the community and the state as a whole. It is no beggardly service they offer .to the uplift of our social order, but is given in ungrudging measure. The editors of North Carolina are not lor sale. They are men of character aud of courage. They love the state with deep devotion, and are glad to give their influence whether that iufiuence be great or small to its general progress, with out stint or limit. They are a band of high souled men and wo men. who fiud their largest reward in public Bervice.

Who ever' heard of anybody’s death being1 caused by j.he bite of a garter snake? H Bo has heard of any body suffering seriously from a garter snake’s ‘ bite? Who ever heard even of a person being bit ten by a garter snake? Evidently tiie sheriff of Stanly is cognizant of the fact that garter snakes are of litlle danger to humanity—ex cept to tirigh.ten people into laying in a supply of snake bite medicine.

Gradually the famous Lys salient in the region west of Armentieres is giv ing way under the pressure of the British- Again Field Marshal Haig's lorces have compelled the enemy to seek ground to the eastward where j,e will bo more secure from the shells of the big guns that for several weeks have been firing criss-cross over the entire salient, working havoc among the defenders of the insecure line. Likewise the Germans are being given no rest by the Franco-British forces north and south of the Somme, and the French and Americans along the Vesle and Americans in Lorraine, also are harassing them by artillery flre and local attacks. Nowhere has the enemy had the beter of any en counter. Over a front of four miles between Balllelu and Vieux Rerquin on the Lys sector, th.e British ■ have forced , hack the Germans to a depth ranging from 1.000 to 2,000 yards, taking in the maneuver the . village of Outter- steen and 400 prisoners. While, as a whole, the German line I between the Somme and the Oise riv- I crs are still holding, notwithstanding I the terrific pounding it is receiving I from the allied guns, the British have I drawn nearer the road leading from I Chaulnes to Roye between Chilly and I Farnsart, placing Roye in greater S jeopardy by attack from the north. I At the same time to the south of Roye, [ over ihe four-mile front between Beuvraignes and Canny-Surmatz, a violent artilerv duel is raging between the French and Germans. It is- in this region that the French are en deavoring—and in their initial efforts they have met with considerable suc cess—to carry forward their twp-fold purpose of outflanking both Roye and Lassignv by a drive eastward. Along the Vesle river front, where the Americans and French are hold ing- the line against the Germans, there has been considerable recipro cal artillery shelling.

VLADIVOSTOK FROM MANILA Evidently it is not in the plans Ot the entente allies to leave the Ger mans secure In their possession of the new line they are now holding in the region between th e . Somme and the Oise. Although the front from the south of the Somme past Chaulnes and running through Roye to Noyon has been studded with, fresh rein forcements and innumerable guns in order to keep back the allied troops, the Germans nevertheless again have been forced to give ground and at points where seemingly their defense soon must crumble and the retreat eastward be resumed. French and Canadian troops be tween Goyencourt and LaucourL on a front of about three miles, had fought their way west of Roye until' they were virtually knocking at the door of the town which, is one of the keystone positions of the German de fense in Picardy. The retirement of the Germans on parts of the northern front continues but these manuevers as yet lack defi nite explanation. Following closely upon the evacuation of front line po sitions north of Albert, which were taken over by the British, has come another voluntary relinquishment of -trenches in th Lys sector. . The vil lage of Vieux Berquin has been given up and ground over a front of about nine milse to a depth of from one to two miles has been ceded without fighting. Along the Vesle river front the Germans _ are deluging the posi tions held by the Freneh and Americans with shells, gas projectiles and bombs from airplanes, but their effohts have gone Itor naught so far as causing a relinquishment of terri tory ie concerned. The American aviators. are busily engaged In bomb ing operations behind the German lines, especilly against the bridges leading northward across the Aisne river. GENERAL INTEREST CENTERS IN SITUATION ON THE PI CARDY FRONT. IlBERT IS SIROHGIV HElO Increasing Artilery Activity Continues Along New Somme Battle Front. W ith the Britsih Army in France.— General interest in the situation along the Picardy battle front h as' shifted to the northward, where it is confirm ed that the Germans' are evacuating some of their forward-positions. Beau- mont-Hamel, Serre, Bucquoy and Puisieux-au-Mont have been abandon ed. British patrols crossed the Ancre at AuthuiUe and Aveluy, north of Albert, and went some distance be- for they were fired upon. Albert is still held strongly by the Germans. British patrols, on entering the town, were fired on from the Al bert cathedral. It will be remembered that the Ger man retirement in February, 1917, to the Hindenburg line was immediate ly preceded by slight local retire, ments such as have been made north of Albert. The mystety now is wheth er some such plan is being carried out by the enemy. Along the new Somme battlefront quiet still continues' except for rather increased artillery activity at several points. PLANS SET IN MOTION TO REGISTER 13,000,000 MEN Valdfvostok.—The transport carry ing the first contingent of American troops arrived here after an unevent ful voyage of seven and a half days from Manila. The men were in ex cellent spirits and crowded the rails and rigging, cheering and being cheer ed by the men of the allied warships I in the harbor.

He says: , 'Every effort should be made to in duce all classes of shippers, and more particularly, the industries, to follow, the policy of stocking up during the remaining months of good weather, when the flow of transportation is the easiest and the demands relatively lighest.” “There is no doubt but that indus tries In general for economic reasons, have avoided carrying stocks, relying upon the railroads to meet their cur rent needs from day to day, or week to week, but it is clear that if there is an explanation made of the great demands which the carriers will have tp meet during the winter and the difficulties of transportation that are likely to occur (not nlerg-ly because of the total volume of traffic, but the preference that must be given to war requirem ents), the probable shortage of equipment^ etc., thy Will be willing to stock up for their own protection." MPORTANT WOODG ARE TAKEN BY FRENCH TROOPS With- the British Army In France.— By a brilliant maneuver, the French have finally captured “Z” wood and Damery wood. In these two wooded tracts the Germans have been hold ing out desperately for several days, realizing the value of those positions. The little patches- of forest which are now in the hands of the allies-are virtually on the. exertme right of the Brititsh line. RELATIVES OF WOUNDED AND SICK T OGET FACTS W ashington. — Exact information concerning wounded and sick Ameri can soldiers admittedto hospitals over seas wHl be made iihmmediately avail able to relatives, or friends. • Secretary Baker said he had visited the offices of Surgeon General Gor- gas to look into the daily reports from the hospitals with a view to having them carded, catalogued and tabula ted so that the most instant informa tion can be given to all inquiries. Washington.—Provost Marshal Gen eral Crowder announced, that plans already have been made for register ing the 13,000,000 additional men which he estimates will be brought under the selective service law when Con gress enacts the pending bill extend ing the age limits to include men be tween 18 and 45 years. From this number approximately 2,000,000 quali fied for 'full military service are ex pected to be secured. So urgent is the need for additional manpower. General Crowder said, that the draft machinery is being put into shape for the great task ahead without waiting for final action by Congress. Men of the new draft will be needed by October I and in order to get them, registration day will have to be held not later than September 15 and if possible September 5 will be fixed as the day. When the 13,000 men are enrolled nearly $25,000,000 will have been reg istered since the United States enter ed the war. There were some 10,000,- 000 enrolled on the first registration day, June 5, 1917, another 600,000 last June 5, and several hunred thousand more are expected to be enrolled Aug ust 25. 2,000,000 IS FIGURE SET . A S PROBABLE IN CLASS 1 On the basis of aotual figures from Insurance companies, census compu tations and theexperience of ‘this of fice in the previous registration, it has been estim ated'that the required number of men for class one may be had only by including within the draft age limits men between 32 and 45 and'between 18 and 20. That, is to say, approximately 13,000,000' men m ust be'added to the list of regis trants In order that, with all exemp tions allowed at least 2,000,000 men wifi Temain in class one.. DATE OF REGISTRATION EARLY IN SEPTEMBER Assurance having been given that the legislation Will receive immediate consideration upon the assembling of the house and of the senate, this of fice, in its preliminary instructions set out to draft executives in the various states, has proceeded on the assumption that the new registration inlght be held earl yin September. EXPEDITIONARY F'ORCE HAS REACHED PUBERESHKAIA London.—The allied Archangel ex peditionary force has reached- Paber- eshkaia, 100 miles south of Archangel, on the railroad toward Volgoda. Bol shevik forces, on retiring, are declared to have committed every’ form of atrocity upon the civilian population. Allied forces have been landed along the . shore of Onega bay, 10 miles southwest of Archangel, for the pur pose of intercepting bolshevik forces retiring VTroni Archangel. BUYER AND MlLL-OWNERS URGE GOVERNMENT CONTROL Boston.—Cotton Iiuyers and miU- owners urged the necessity for govern ment control of thei New York cotton exchange and the elimination of spec ulation of a purely gambling nature, at a hearing held here by the bureau of m arkets of the department of ag riculture. Speakers declared also that the 'correct Iabeliijg of cotton, bales would be of great* It-help both to mill men anil growers.. .-J J v I ISM E HUN FRONT LINE . TRENCHES ARE MADE UNTENABLE • BY.THE ALLIES. EMTURE USSIGNr RUMORED German* Apparently Successful In Holding Back British and French From Somme to Oise. North and south of tb,e Somme the Germans have lost further important ground. .In the former region they have evacuated their positions over a five-mile front to the British north . .of Albert, while in the latter they have been beaten back in the hiU and wooded district just north of the OIse river by the French. German front line trenches at Beau mont Hamel, Serre, Puisiexau-Mont and Bucquoy have been found unten able by the enemy in the face of the recent activity by the British all along the line from Albert to Arras, whUe the French have persevered In their violent attacks against the Germans on the sector, which dominates the lower portion of the Picardy plain and the Oise valley, and have en croached further upon the Lassigny massif and the Thiescourt plateau and further south have captured the important town of RibecourL Unofficial reports have announced the capture of Lassigny by the French and of all the German positions be tween the western outskirts of Bray- Sur-Somme and Rtinehem by the Australians. There is, however, no official confirmation of them. From the Somme to the Oise, except in the latter region, where the French have made further gains, the Ger mans seemingly have had further suc cess in holding back the allied troops and still are in possession of Chaul- nes and Roye. upon the capture of which the efforts of the British and French have been centered. FREEING REGION BETWEEN . ... ■ THE OISE AND SOMME The cap.ture of Ribecourt by the French marks an important epoch in the offensive, which has for its imme diate, purpose the freeing of the region between the Somme and the Oise of the enemy. As a gain from the strate gic standpoint it ranks with the tak ing by the French of the forest and hill positions between the Matz and the Oise, which has brought the French almost to the gates of Lassigny. Through Ribecourt lies an open route up the Oise valley, to Noyon—a route by rail, and the big national thor oughfare, not to mention the canal which parallels the roadways for the greater part of the way. Noyon is only a little more than six miles north east of Ribecourt. Although they are still encountering violent resistance, the French .are con tinuing to make progress through the wooded and hilly country betweer the Siatz and the Oise,* where the Ger mans, from recesses in the forests, on spurs and in the canyons, are using machine inns innumerable. .Gas also is being loosed in great quantities by the enemy. Almost entire control ol the Thiescourt plateau and the other high ground on this sector is now In the hands ot the French. fiEIH FEIIK CIPiUflE REMIT CONSIDERABLE ACTIVITY PLAY ED ON PART OF FRENCH AND AMERICAN FORCES. HOVE KND NOVON IN PERIL Retreat of Foe Along Olse Valley May Cause Entire Enemy Line to Break in Unison. Fresh reinforcements and large numbers of guns have been brought up by the enemy to aid him in his endeavors -to hold the line, which is essential to the safety of the German armies how In the pocket described by the Somme on the north and east, and on the Oise on the south. Notwithstanding the enemy's efforts however, Chaulnes is receiving a mighty visitation of shells from the allied guns, and Roye has ben so en croached upon that it is now under a heavy crossfire from both the north and south, and seemingly both towns ultimately must be evacuated. An added danger to Boye is the fact that the French In their operations are knocking at th e . door of Lassigny, about seven miles to the south, and also are pressing forward eastward to ward Noyon In a wedge-driving ma neuver, which not only 'is outflank ing Roye, but bringing Noyon daily nearer the range of the big guns. . Unofficial reports are to the effect that the Germans, fearing capture in the pocket between Roye and Oise, al ready are rereating along the Oise valley toward Noyon, and if the state ments should prove true it is not un likely that' the "entire German battle line to the north- wHl give way In uni son, and that even there may be a re adjustment of the enemy front from Sissons to Rheims. Far to the north from Ypres to Al- ber tthere has ben considerable ac tivity on the part of the British and French forces against the Germans. The latest German communication as serts that all 'the attacks were re pulsed. On-the Vesle river the Germans in attacks against Fismett,. which is held by the Americans and French are de clared to have driven the allies to the southern bnk.of-the-river. A coutner- ttack, however, resulted in the reoccu pation of Flsmett. AN AMAZING TRAIN OF E.VENTSJN RUSSIAN. AFFAIRS Washington. — Official dispatches from American Consul General Poole in Moscow lifted the curtain for a moment on what has been going on In Moscow and revealed an amaing train of events. Consul General Poole, after witness ing the violation -of the French aud British consulates and the arrestgreof the consuls general and their staffs, destroyed his code bo'»k and papers and turned the affairs of the American consulate over to the Swedish consul, at the same time demanding safe con duct from-' the country for himself and his associates. 31 - GERMAN AIRPLANE6 ARE PUT OUT OF BUSINESS .London.—Twenty-one. German air planes were brought down and 10 also were .driven down out of control according to an official statement is sued on aviation operations. Six Brit ish machines are missing' as a result of the aerial encounters. British and American air squadrons co-operated in an attack on an enemy airdome and destroyed six machiiles parked near the hangars,'inflicting as well several casualties. NEW DRIVE AGAINST ENEMY EXPECTED BY ARMY OFFICERS Washington.—A new drive against the German positions either in Flan ders or between the Olse and Soiqaons is expected by many army officers here as a’ result of the slowing up of the advance. Outlining the situation at his mid-week conference, General. March, chief-of staff, confined his statements to pointing out that the Germane have now been forced back until they are -not within 56 miles of Paris at :any. point.' - RAPIDITY AND EXTENT OF CHANGE. IN SITUATION W ith the FYench Army in France.— After the battle of the Avre, the situ ation of the belligerents presents a change which for rapidity and extent has rarely been approached in mili tary history. Marshal’s Foch’s strate gy and the masterly tactics of the generals commanding the armies and groups of armieh-under him have In three weeks wrested from the Ger mans what required four months for them to obtain at a cost 'estimated at from 700,000 to 1,000,000 men. The immediate results of the coun ter-offensives which will have the greatest bearing on subsequent oper ations are the clearing of the Cha- teau-Thlen-y pocket, ending the men- ac to Bpernay and Paris; the liberaa- tion of Montdidier, ending the menace to Amines; the freeing of the impor tant eastern railroad- line from Paris to Chalons and the equally impor tant northern line from Paris to Amiens, restoring to the allies means of communication which give them enormously greater ease In future movements of troops. These successes render imposible any rupture of the line which would separate the French armies of the center from those to the east, or a rupture of the junction between the French and British. The most dis astrous consequence to the Germans aside from the heavy losses they sus tained in men and material, is the collapse of their plan to drive wedges Into the allied lines and the substan tial widening and joining which have threatened general dislocation. AUSTRIANS FIGhJT FOR LEAFLETS FROM THE AIR Washington. —, Neutral press • re ports that Vienna citizens paid as' high as 40 crowns for leaflets- dropped by Italian aviators In their recent flight over the Austrian capital in giant Ca- proni .planes are causing great satis faction in Rome. An ’official dispatch today says the cabinet has congratu lated the air service -on the feat. The aviators reported that people "in the streets of Vienna fought for posses sion of the leaflets. GERMAN PRESS PERTURBED OVER RUSSIAN SITUATION Amsterdam.—The German newspa pers show much perturbation over the situation In Russia as it af fects Germany. “Inexorable fate is driving Germany toward a fresh state' of war with Russia unless a remedy shall ’be found at the last moment,” says The -Vossische Zel- tung of Berlin. The newspapers describe the German embassy’s flight from.Moscdw to Pskov as “a retreat from Russia.”" . I® OVER THE LANO OF THELONGLEAF PINE SHORT NOTES OF INTEREST TO CAROLINIANS. Granite Falls.—Fritz Barlow, a young man about 18 years old, employ ed by the Granite Falls Mauufacturinig Company, was drowned in the com- pany’s pond.

Asheville.—Joseph Meyers, a m en chant of W est AshevilI.e was serious ly injured when a Ford truck, he w as. driving got beyond control on Jef ferson drive as he was passing a wag on, and hurled Jtself and driver down a 30-foot bank. Winston-Salem.—The amount left by the late R. J. Reynolds for the col ored hospital here is $120,000, instead of $12,00 as printed in a dispatch from here, due evidently to an error in transmission. The total of bequests is $240,000. Raleigh.—Fifty-six markets Jp North. Carolina sold a total of 249,033.374 pounds of -tobacco during the fiscal year ending July 31,1918, according to the annual report just released by the Commissioner of Agriculture. This is a gain over 1917 of 54,594,150 pounds. Gastonia.—The division ,of four min ute men of the federal committee on publication is to be actively represent ed in Gastonia and that immediately, according to a n . announcement by Leake Carraway1 of Charlotte, district chairman of the four minute men for this section. W ake Forest—The warehouse ot W; C. Brewer & Co., of this place, was burned. The building contained gen eral merchandise. The loss is esti m ated‘at $2,000, partially covered by- ' insurance. Morganton.—Heavy damage has been done in Burke the past'few days by -hall and windstorms. - In., many places the com has been leveled to the ground and many fields of alfalfa and other crops have suffered severe- ’ ly. This is a rather hard blow tp Burke after a shortage in wheat. Gastonia.—R obert. Manning and Thomas Shelton, white boys apparent ly 18 or 19 years of age and claiming Charlotte as their home, are In the city jail charged with burglary and the police officers are on the lookout for two other youths who were with them- at the time the crime they* are charged with was committed. Charlotte.—Overcome by the heat S. E. Corbett, a traveling salesman, whose home was said to be in Greens boro, fell unconscious on the sidewalk in front of the W estern Uniion Tele graph office. He was removed to ,the Selwyn hotel. His condition was re ported as favorable, and it was said he would recover. Raleigh.—About two hours after the home of Mr. E. G. Richardson, ot 318 South Person street, was entered and robbed, Robert Allen, a negro, was ar rested upon the charge of burglary when Officer Nichols’ two bloodhounds carried officers from, the scene of the burglary to the negTO’s home. Gastonia.—Miss Olive Ratchford, who has been a student nurse at the City Hospital training school for nurses, was graduated recently and ia now taking a brief - vacation at her home in Gaston county. . Miss Iva Lineberger will be graduated from the same school soon. She will go to her home In Clover S. C., route 4, for the present. Both Miss Lineberger and' Miss Ratchford are planning to 'enter the Red Cross overseas nursing force In the fall. North Wilkesboro. — Miss NelliO Shepherd of Ferguson was. killed when she was thrown from a horse. Meager details of the accident have It that she was returning from an enter tainment to .h er home and that her horse became frightened at a passing vehicle, throwing her into the road. She was taken to the home of Mr. Chas. Hartley, near the scene of the accident and requested that h'er peo ple not be notified until the next morning. The next morning, she was dead, having succumbed, presumably to internal Injuries. ' Asheville.—Lon Ratcliff, a white well digger living in the Leicester sec- tion, Succumhed to gases in an 80-foot well, although heroic efforts were made to save him .. One man finally volunteered to go down the well and succeeded in tying a rope around the body, but was himself unconscious when dragged to the top.

STATE E WAR WORK OF NATION TO BE SHOWN AT STATE FAIR' OCTOBER 21-26. DISPATCHES FROM RAtEieH Doings and Happenings That Mark the Progress of North Carolina Peo ple, Gathered Around the State Capital. Raleigh. Tha war work of the nation will be ihown at the North Carolina State Fair October 21-26, Col. J. E. Pogue, secretary of the fair, announced. The North Carolina fair will be one of 35 to get -this exhibit. "It will double the attendance at the fair.” Col. Pogue said gleefully in giving out Hie news that this great exhibit was to be seen here. The show will require eight thousand square feet of exhibit space. The following m atter descriptive of the exhibit is taken from the press service of the Department of Agricul ture, telling of the exhibit: The combined display will be a war show from beginning to end(. for ev ery activity of the government now has a bearing, more or less direct, on the one national aim of preserving popular rule for the world. Thus, not only will there be vital interest in the exhibits of the War and Navy Departments, but in the displays of the work of the Department of Agri culture in stimulating increased pro duction of food; the activities of the Food Administration in encouraging the conservation and equitable distri bution of this fundamental war mu nition; the addition of new food sources through the Bureau of Fish eries of the Department of Commerce; the safeguarding of human life and indirectly increasing of- coal produc tion through the work of the mine res cue cars of the Bureau of Mines, De partm ent of the Interior; and the spreading of official news through the Committee on Public Information. The War Department display can hardly fail to place Americans more closely in touch with their boys who are making more uneasy the heads that wear the crowns. Shade for Summer Chicks. Poultry often fails to make satisfac tory growth because proper shade is not within the range. Birds suffer greatly from the excessive heat of late summer, advises Dr. B. F. Kaupp of tne Agricultural Experiment Station, and to do their best they must be pro vided with grassy, shady runs, having ■before them at all times plenty of clean pure water. Good corn and. good chicks, for instance, can be grown with success on the same land, one helping in the success of the other. ■The birds need a free range. There are lots of hugs, insects and good green feed going to waste on-the aver age farm at this time of the year and the birds thrive well on these. ' They will also protect to some extent, the crops and fertilize the land. It must be remembered that lice, mites, and sticktight fleas thrive well amd multiply rapidly, during August. These can be controlled a careful use of kerosine, louse powder, or dips. Contribute to the Red Cross. ' The North Carolina food adminis trator has found eight merchants in the State guilty of violating the food regulations and has allowed them to make contributions to the Red Cross ranging from $25 to $100 in -lieu of more drastic penalty,. In some of the cases it is prescribed that the mer chant close his store for several days, posting the notice that it is’ closed for violation of the food administration regulations.

Convention Augus^ 28.. ..■ -. ■ w view of the present high price of materials, shortage of labor and tiie necessity for increased production on the farm, the approaching Farm ers’ and Farm Women’s Convention at State College, August 28 to 30, prom ises to be one of the most interesting and instructive gatherings ever held in the state. In order to protect the country, the farmers know it will be necessary to take advantage 'of the most practical methods of production and conservation. The present need of labor- saving machinery has drawn considerable at tention toward the farm, tractor. Per sons who wish to secure a tractor are often at a loss to know what make to purchase. Very few have bad an op portunity to see several kinds tested out together. For this reason arrange ments have been made to secure eight of the standard makes of tractors for demonstration on the college farm. This will give those attendingthe con vention an opportunity to see in actual operation under field conditions, the Avery, Cleveland, Fordson, Interna tional, John Deer, Moline, Sandusky and the Staude Mak-A-Tractor.. The women’s program committee have arranged practical demohstra,- tions and discussions which will be of value to all housekeepers. Among the things of interest are demonstra tions of simple home labOT saving de vices, selection and preparation of economic foods, butter making in the home, preparing the soybean and soy bean products for food, preserving eggs, drying fruits and vegetables and canning meats. In co-operation with Mrs. McKimmons division an exhibit of foods made from the soybean and soybean products will be made. Sheep Work Recognized. Recognizing a good thing when he sees it, Mr. Homer W. Smith; club leader for the Extension Division in South Dakotah, has written the North Carolina Agricultural’Extension Serv ice for a supply of Extension Circu lar No. 64 “Successful Sheep and Lamb Raising." This circular, which was prepared by Mr. R. S. Curtis, is recognized as one of the most valua ble publications recently issued in re; gard to sheep raising. In fact, North Carolina’s sheep work is now attract- ting nation-wide reputation. Mt. Lewis W. Penwell, chief of the wool division of the W ar Industries Board, has also recently written Mr. Curtis a letter commenting favorably on the progress North Carolina is making in bringing to the attention of the peo ple the worldwide shortage of mutton and wool, and, because of Mr, Curtis’ special work In this direction, has rec ommended him .for appointment as wool demonstrator for the State.

By EDWARD W, PICKARD. Having thoroughly whipped the nrnies of the German crown prince, and driven them back beyond the Yesle river,- Foch1 now a marshal of France, turned his attention In5 the middle of the week to the forces un der the Bavarian crown prince, Rup- precht. At dawn on Thursday the Brit ish Fourfh army and the' French First army, under command of Field Mar shal Haig, began an offensive on a wide front in the region east and south east of Amiens. The front under .at tack was about twenty-eight miles in length, from Albert south to the vicin ity of Montdidier. Within 24 hours the allied forces had penetrated the enemy lines to points from six to seven miles beyond thestart, had taken more than 10,000 prisoners and great quantities of material and many guns, and had occupied numerous, towns. Their own losses were remark ably light. Tanks led the Infantry in the attack and did wonderfully good work. ’ Complete success in this offensive would result In obliterating the Ger man salient In the Montdidier region and would imperil the.entire Hun line from Reims to Yj*'es. The Germans seem fi> have anticipated this move- j ment by the allies and some days prev- i Iouisly withdrew their forces there and In other sectors to stronger positions. Progress by the allies here carries them Into the Picardy country which was ravaged by the Germans in their j retreat of March, 1917, and again de- j vastated by them when they drove for ward this year. —f c - The defeated but not disorganized Huns between Soissons and Reims, as was predicted, gathered their strength for a pause in their retreat between the VesIe and the Alsne. Their guns were brought into play from the plat eau In that region which commands the Vesle valley. The-G erm ans,' in deed, made strenuous attempts to pre vent the French and Americans from, crossing the Vesle, especially in the vicinity of Fismes, but numerous rela tively small units forced the crossings and held onto their new positions de spite' furious counter-attacks. These operations were mostly ■ between Braisne and Fismes. Up to the close of the week Marshal Foch' had not tried to. send any very large forces across the river, probably waiting un til his artillery could drive the Huns from the nearer hills to the north; The Germans were using only medium caliber guns, which was taken to mean that their heavier artillery was being placed north .of the Aisne to defend that line; for there seemed little doubt that they would be forced .that far north before very- long. Their position South of the Alsne was said to be real ly untenable though seemingly strong.. At the west end of the line the French and Americans were steadily pushing east along the AIsiie, and at the east end immediately north of Reims the French made considerable advance be tween the railways running to Laon and Rethel. - The. city of Fismes, which was so gallantly taken by the Americans, was as; gallantly held against , all attacks, though the Germans’ deluged U with explosive and. gas shells. The machine gun and rifle fire of the Yankees was so accurate as to arouse the admira tion, of their allies. . . —I* — ■ ^tlv Ity increased . during the week, In the Lyg salient which the Germans made toward Bethune and Hazebrouck. On the southern side of this bulge the British moved forward between the Lawd and the Clarence. In other sec tors of the northern line also the Brit ish attacked successfully. These op erations probably were all related though their full significance was not known here. At least, it was clear that Foch had no intention of allow ing the Huns to have any rest, now that he has them on the defensive. —Ba— Authorities admit that the kaiser’s strength is still prodigious and that he has large reserves, but all unite In as serting that he has passed beyond the high point of power and efficiency and can never regain numerical supremacy, nor can he ever again have the oppor tunity, to achieve a victory that was his two months ago: Those of his peo ple who know the truth now admit that his ultimate defeat is a certainty. The more fearless papers of Germany .and Austria do not hesitate to say this plainly. The military and pan-German leaders are held responsible, and as their only hope lies in .administering to the allies the crushing blow so long promised by them, it is reasonable to expect another great Hun offensive be fore long. That is, if Marshal Foch gives them a chance, which doesn’t seem to be a part of his present plans. —Pa— Arrangements for the American-Jap anese expedition to Siberia have been going forward rapidly and the Czecho slovak fprces over there will soon have the active support of a small but competent body of allied troops. It is announced that two regiments now In the Philippines will form part of the American contingent, and th at.it will be commanded by Maj. Gen. William S. Graves until recently assistant chief of'staff of the army. Later it will be determined whether he will com mand the entire expedition. At Vladi vostok the Americans will be joined by an equal number of Japanese and prob ably they will first drive from the Amur branch of the trans-Siberian railway the bolsheviki and the Teuton war prisoners who were armed to aid them. Eastern Siberia would then.be In the control of the allies and loyal Russians. British forces were landed at Vladivostok last week, for what pur pose was not stated. —*»— . Japan has given evidence of eager ness to do more In Siberia than merely’ aid the Czechs, if she has the excuse, and it is reported that Lenine now plans to declare war on the Japanese, being instigated by Germany. The suc cesses of the Czechs have had great ef fect in Austria, and reports from that country tell of the desertion of. about a million soldiers of the Austro-Hun garian army. Eighty thousand of these deserters are living In Vienna and the government fears to take any step against them. —»*— Conditions In northern Russia are very encouraging. . The allies have been driving, the bolsheviki south from Archangel, and a new government has been established in that city embracing half a dozen districts. Volunteer de tachments of White guards are as sisting the allies. M: I. Terestchenko, minister of foreign affairs in Keren sky’s cabinet, has beenmssassinated In Poltava. —Ba— Seemingly not yet quite satisfied that Zeppelins as raiders are a failure, the Germans sent a fleet of five of these monsters across to raid Ebgland last week. Their coming was signaled and they were attacked by the British air defense before they could reach the coast. One of them was shot down In flames over the sea, its commander, the noted Captain Strasser, and all the crew perishing. The other airships fled. — f c — ..' The submarine pirates continued their depredations'In the western At-, lantic, torpedoing a number .of men-’ chant ships and fishing boats and sink ing the Diamond Shoals lightship off Cape Hatteras. This last-mentioned exploit-may be part of. a set plan of destroying important navigation sig nals In order to ham per shipping. The doifigs of the U-boats, however, no longer cause the allies, extreme, anx iety, for It is evident t.hey are on the' decline. Addressing .th e , house of commons,; Premier Lloyd George, said WO: submarines bad., been sunk by. the LBritlsh navy, and th e Brltl% admlr- f ? ■■.■,, alty announces the output of merchant ships by the allies and neutral nations for the three months ending June 30 exceeded the losses from, all causes by 296,696 gross tons. The American yards are.now turning out vessels with extraordinary rapidity. The launch ing of the first one from the great gov ernment yard at Hog island was at tended by President and Mrs. Wilson. . —m — Our war department's army program was partly revealed to the senate com mittee on military affairs by General March, chief of staff, when he ap peared before it to urge all possible haste In passing the bill extending the draft age limits to eighteen and forty- five years. Concisely stated, the pro gram is as follows: . Ninety-eight divisions — 3,920,000 men—to make up troops obtained un der existing law. Eighty divisions—3,200,000 men—to be sent to France. Eighteen divisions—720,000 men—to be held In reserve In the United States while additional recruits are being trained, ' . An army when completed, of 5,000,- 000 men, minimum strength. ' Troop movement to France at the rate of 250,000 men a month until cold weather sets in, meaning over 1,000,000 more men abroad before the first of the year. * An expeditionary force of almost 2,- 500,000 men In France by January I. General SIarch told the committee the United States can end the war by getting 4,000,000 trained troops, fully equipped, into France, and be intimat ed that Marshal Foch Is only await ing the arrival of the Americans in full strength to hurl the entire united military strength of the allies at the Huns on the western front. This tre mendous blow, he intimated, was due to fail next spring. The chief o t staff said he did not believe it would be necessary to send the eighteen-year-old class to the firing line, but that the government wants these young men trained and in readiness. He said it would be satisfactory If the bill were passed immediately after congress re sumes the transaction, of business on August .26. Some of the senators be lieved quicker action would be advis able. Chairman Dent of the house mil itary affairs committee, clinging to the anti and ante-war ideas that always have animated his actions, shows no desire to have the bill considered by his committee In time for early pas sage. It was stated that the sensible members of the committee, headed by Representative Kahn, probably would have to take charge of the measure. Why the small-minded Dent is hot ousted from his chairmanship of this most important committee remains one of the mysteries. Other men connect ed with the administration and the government, who were pacifists and small army and navy advocates, have seen the error of their ways long since and are doing everything in their power to help win the war, but no such light illuminates the dense mind of Dent. • ■ ' ; ■The house ways and means commit tee Is-Still busy with the next revenue measure. Secretary of, the Treasury McAdoo has informed Chairman Kltch- In that he is strongly In favor of a flat war profits tax of. 80 per cent, which he believes would render unnecessary, any increase In the existing excess profits tax rate, and would also be found the only way to reach real war profiteering. The committee has agreed upon a section that would call on the president to pay a tax of $24,- 900 as hls part of the country’s finan cial war burden and under which the Supreme court justices, . all federal judges aiid ail state officers would be taxed. “There is a great sentiment all over the country,” said Mr. Kltchin, “that no one should be .exempted from taxatioh.” In which Mr. Kltchin speaks the exact truth. — t e — ' ... •’ The federal trade commission has recommended that the goyernment take control of all the principal stock yards, ,cold-storage plants ' and ’ware houses and of refrigerator ana cattle cars, in order to destroy tiie monopoly which it declares is exercised by Swift & Cd., Armour & Co;, Morris & Co., Wll- son. ® c °" Inc., ahfi the Cudahy Pack ing- company; .

CHAPTER XVI—Continued. —12— “Cassell had a fancy for that par ticular blonde. The answer came back In the shape of a volley of cusses. I changed the subject. “After a while our talk veered round to the way the Boches had been exposing themselves on the road down on the chart as-Target 17. W hat he said about those Boches would never have passed the reichstag, though I believe it would have gone through our censor easily enough. “The bursting shells were making such a din that I packed up talking and took to watching the captain. He was fidgeting around on an old sand bag with the glass to his eye. Occa sionally he would let out a grunt, find make some remark I couldn’t hear on account of the noise, but I guessed what it was all right. BWtz was get ting fresh again on that road. “Cassell had been sending in the ‘tap code’ to me, but I was fed up and didn't bother with it. Then he sent 0. S. and I was all attention, for this was a call used between us which meant that something important was on. I was all ears in an instant, Then Cassell turned loose. “ ’Ion blankety blank dud, I have been trying to raise you for fifteen minutes. What’s the matter, are you asleep?’ (Just as If anyone could have slept in that infernal 'racket!) lNever mind framing a nasty answer. Just listen.’ “ ‘Are you game for putting some thing over on the Boches and Old Pep per all in one?’ “I answered that I was game enough when it came to putting it over the Boches, bnt confessed, that I had a weakening of the spine, even a t the mention of Old Pepper’s name. “He came back witfi, ‘It’s so absurd ly easy and simple that there is no chance of the old heathen rumbling i t Anyway, if we’re caught I’ll take the blame.’ "Under these condition I told him to ■pit out his scheme. It was so daring and simple that it took my breath away. This is what he proposed: “If the Boches should use that road again, to send by the tap system the target and range. I had previously told him about our captain talking out loud as if he were sending through orders. Well, if this happened, I was to send the dope to Cassell and he would transmit it to the battery com mander as officially coming through the observation post. Then the bat tery would open up.' Afterwards, dur- •ag the investigation, Cassell would Rwenr he received it direct. They would have to relieve him,' because it was impossible from his post in the battery dugout to know that the road was being used at that time by the Urnnans. And also it was impossible tor him to give the target, range’ and degrees. You know, a battery chart is not passed around among the men like a newspaper from Blighty. From him the investigation would go to Hie ob- 6Crvation post, and the observing offi cer could truthfully swear that I had Bot sent the message by lPhone, Bnd “ at no orders to fire had been issued J him.

SELECTION OF POULTRY FEED Reduce Cost by Using Low-Priced Sub stitute Grains—Oats Are Cheap er Than' Corn. (Prepared by the United State9 Department of Agriculture.) While farmers, as a rule, have fed their poultry the grata that was cheap est on the farm, many poultry , spe cialists and most small poultry keep ers have been accustomed to use their favorite poultry feeds without consid ering either the quality of the sup ply or the possibilities of using cheap er substitutes, Under normal conditions, corn in nearly all parts of the United States Is the cheapest poultry feed. -At the present time, _oats are nearly every where cheaper’than com. When corn ■ goes down -to $1.50 a bushel, oats should be. 75 cents and barley $1.20 a bushel to give the same value for the money fed to poultry, as corn. Gffie common characters and condi tions of grain which roughly determine their values as poultry feeds are eas ily estimated by the eye, or by weight or bulk to measure or containers of known capacity. Gbod cracked com is hard, bright, clean, free from soft and chaffy par ticles. Com that ?s crushed (hot cracked), and shows much soft, chaffy, and scaly matter, should be rated pro portionately below good cracked com In feeding value. Cracked corn in which any considerable amount of greenish discoloration appears should be rejected' as unfit tor poultry. Oats with the hulls on are at once seen to contain more indigestible mat ter than com and wheat. Again, the indigestible hulls covering oats make that groin less palatable to poultry and its feeding value must be discount ed.

SILAGE IS WEU PRESERVED Receptacle Should Last Indefinitely— Little Material Not on Average Farm Is Required—Filling Not Expensive. (From the XJnited States Department of Agriculture.) . The pit silo, not a makeshift if prop erly built, has become a permanent feed conserver on farms of the Great Plains region. It is inexpensive, and quickly constructed by unskilled labor during the lull in farm work just before fall harvesting. . A farm er using his own labor, obtaining sand and gravel at a small cost, and employing a home made hoisting apparatus for lifting the silage, can build a pit silo of 150 to 180 tons capacity at a cash outlay of about $75, cement being the chief item of ex penditure. As a guide to those who wish to build such silos, a publication of the United States Department of Ag riculture, Farm ers’ Bulletin 825, “Pit Silos” gives the details of construction and drawings illustrating the process and methods of making hoists. Many Benefits of Silo. , Properly constructed pit silos, requir ing little material not already on the average farm, should last indefinitely, . and the upkeep is small. The cost of a masonry silo is often prohibitive in the Great Plains region because the materials must be hauled from distant railroad points. Wooden silos often weaken rapidly under the climatic con ditions peculiar to this region. Pit si los cannot be blown down; silage is preserved fully as well or better than in above-ground types; the silage is never frozen; filling is a much less ex pensive operation; and the labor of get ting silage out of the pit,- which comes during the period when farm work is not pressing, is reduced by home made windlasses or pulley lifts. As it is impracticable and even dan gerous to make a pit silo in certain types of soil, a farm er should know the character of his soil before attempting to build one,' department' specialists say. Locate the silo near the feed lot if possible. If feeding is to be done in a bam, 5 or 6 feet, at least, should be left between the edge of the pit and the barn. Farmers’ Bulletins 461, “The. TJse of Concrete on the Farm,” and 589, “Home-made Silos,” give valuable in formation and detailed instructiots concerning the mixing, handling and re inforcing of concrete, the construction of walls, and so on. - Simple Type of Hoist. The illustration shows one of the simple types of home-made hoists In use. This device consists of a swing ing crane, a windlass, pulleys and rope, and a box of some sort for the silage. A strong 4 by 6-incJj piece may be ■used for the upright or mast, 2 by 4' or 2 by 8-inch pieces for the arm, and a 4 by 4-lnch piece for the boom. Only sound timbers should be used. The windlass and the plates of iron on which the crane turns can be pur chased at small cost.

Caretess Blocking and Thinning M Responsible for Low Yields— Poor Cultivation Also Re duces Number of Plants. (prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Growers of sugar beets are urged to .give special care to this crop during the present growing season In Otu der that the yields may be increased, and In this way add to the nation’s supply of sugar. There is every indi cation that a normal crop has been planted this year In nearly all sugar- beet states. In the past the average yield of beeta per acre in the United States has been approximately ten tons, yet yields of 15 to 20’ tons are not uncommon. If the 800,000 acres of beets which were planted last year all had been carried to m aturity and an increase of but one ton per-’&cre had been produced by more careful methods, we would have had 800,000 tons of beets In excess of the normal crop, which would have added 100,000 tons to our supply of sugar. As soon as the beets have from four to six leaves they should be block ed and thinned, 'so that the plants Ugh! Calomel Sickens; Salivates!

This is readily preventable. Likewise, careless cultivation re duces the number of plants and there by cuts down the tonnage. This is also preventable* . W hen the beets are harvested there ic frequently unneces sary loss due U? the breaking of tha roots when the beets are lifted, and by improper topping. If the beets are not delivered immediately after they are removed from the ground, further loss can be prevented by cov ering them to prevent drying. If the weather is cold they should be suffi ciently protected so that the roots will not be frosted. Labor is one of the principal fac tors influencing acreage, as more la bor is required in the growing of sugar beets than most other farm crops. From all reports labor conditions are more favorable for sugar beets than they were a year ago. The depart ment of agriculture is endeavoring to meet the labor situation not only by encouraging the shifting of labor to the centers where needed, but also by encouraging the development and pro duction, of labor-saving machinery. This year there will be several beet harvesting machines on the market, some of which have been thoroughly tried out and are capable of doing sat isfactory work. These implements, which likely will be In general use in the near future, will do much to re lieve the labor situation and thereby lend encouragement to the beet-sugar Industry.

SEE IF TONGUE IS COATED, BREATH HOT OR STOMACH SOUR. “CALIFORNIA SYRUP OF FIGS” CAN'T HARM TENDER STOM- ACH, LIVER, BOWELS. Every mother realizes, after giving- her children ‘‘California Syrup of Figs,” that this is their ideal laxative, because they love its pleasant taste and it-ttaoroughly cleanses the tender little stomach, liver and bowels with out griping. When cross, Irritable, feverish, or breath is bad, stomach sour, look at the tongue, Mother! If coated, give a teaspoonful of -this harmless “fruit laxative,” and In a few hours all the foul, constipated waste, sour bile and undigested food passes out of the bow els, and you have a well, playful child again. When the little system is full of cold, throat sore, has stomach-ache, di arrhoea, indigestion, colic—remember, a good “inside cleansing” should al ways be the first treatm ent given. Millions of mothers keep “California Syrup of Figs’’ handy; they know a teaspoonful today saves a sick child to-morrow. Ask your druggist for a bottle of “California Syrup of Figs,” which has directions for babies, chil dren of all ages and grown-ups printed on the bottle. Beware of counterfeits sold here, so don’t be fooled. Get the genuine, made by “California PIg Syrup Company.’’—Adv.

POSSiBLE TO LOSE THE WitB IIlIER HEBE A* tke St*y-at-Home Army Think* and Feels, So Does the I Army at the Fronb The W ar Must First be Won i Over Here ,, SM you know that the war could be lest over here as easily, or more so, SS oyer there? While the actual fight* lag takes place on the fields of France, most ot that which goes into the fight, to win, or lose It, takes place orer here. . There are hundreds ot ways in which America can lose out in win ning the war and 90 per cent of these are dependent upon those who stay *t home. The stay-at-home army largely determines whether the army at the front loses or wins. In the first place, ,the soldiers over there m ust hare supplies and ’ must have these In sufficient quantity and qual ity to make them the most efficient . fighting men possible. They must have clothing of the proper texture summer and winter to protect them and yet not encumber them. They m ust have mental and moral recrea tion, but above all else, they must have that courage of the soul, known as morale, that comes from the peo ple at home. As the army feels over here, so it feels over there. As strong as grows Its determination to win over here, so determined are they to win over there. W hatever is done, said or felt over here■ has its effect over there. Therofer, It behooves every American citizen, American soldier that he himself is, as ready to mak ’ sacrifices as to expect It of them, and ' that' he himself is, as ready to make I of the Government as they who gave J up their homes and loved ones and offered themselves -to their country's cause. Probably the greatest call that has come to the people of this country is to save and serve. Every individual has been called on to practice econ omy and refrain from spending money for things not essential to health and efficiency, not only that the Govern ment may have all surplus money to. finance the war but that labor engag ed in the making of these things may bo released for making material need ed to win the war. The'person who doeB without, who saves his money where he used to spend it, who makes personal sacrifices for his country's eake, is indeed today the real, true patriot. He is rendering a service In keeping with that of the soldier at the front On the other hand, he Who is selfish and insists os* living as he did before the war, who criticises the Government who has not time for war work, who heeds no call of the Government,—he is a greater enemy than the Hun across No Man’s Land. In fact if America loses in the war it will be her enemies over herb and not over there that made losing pos sible. Only One Thing to Do Flret-L lck Germany. When we would make plans for the future and think of peace, we are confronted with the one big fact that Germany is not yet licked, and that nothing else should have right of way in our time and thought till this one thing is accomplished. Mr. Frank Crane, In the Chicago Daily News, recently told how Important it is to do this thing first. He s'ays: “Yes, I know, Peace is a grand thing. I am a pacifist,, on general principles. But what would be the use of peace now, with a horde of 3,000,000 brutes, led by a. bunch of egotistic scoundrels, stamping over the earth -with hob-nailed boots? We’ve got to lick Germany before we can get any kind of peace that is tol erable. Look at the Russians. They threw down their arms and extended the friendly hand to the HunB, and smiled, and said, "Now, we’ll all quit. See! We begin.’ It wsb a most Christian act. What was the answer? Germany kicked them in the face. The Ger mans invaded their territory, burned their towns, killed their men, robbed them, laughed at them, lied to them, spread the pernicious propaganda among their people, and Russia to day is a seething madhouse. So. Just hold steady awhile on socialism. W e’ve got to lick Germany first. "Ireland wants to be free and all that. We sympathize with her. But we’ve got to lick Germany first What’s the good of a free Ireland, with Germany ruling. England? Does Ireland want to swap Lloyd George for the Kaiser? "Sweden Is starving. Holland and Denmark are in straits. We’d like to help them. But we've got to lick Germany first. “We cannot aid the Belgians to re build their houses and get their peo ple back from slavery until we lick Germany. “We want France and Italy and Ser bia and Roumania and Poland and menia rescued from the horror of war, from hunger and want and mas sacre. But we must lick Germany first. “We’d like ocean travel made safe and commerce freed from piracy, but we’ve got to lick Germany first. "We wish our soldier 'boys were back home. We need them. Wivee. mothers, sweethearts, fathers need them. Farms and shops need them. But we’ve got to lick Germany first. Any way you turn, you find we’ve got to lick Germany first. "W hatever reform you want, what ever'nuisance should be abated, we run up against the same prime neces sity. We’ve got to lick Germany first. "Sure! It’s all coming out right. We shall' some day have peace on earth and good will to men. But we’va got to Hck Germany first. “Don’t wait dinner for us; we can't be with you at the ball; and telephone the undertaker, please, that he neednt come around yet awhile. We’ve Just naturally got to lick Germany first* MV HELP TH WIHIHE I Which of These Practical Ways of Savings To Win ■j The War Are You Using? ;• ’Many .people want to do something • to help, win the war, but say they don’t know what to do. To help -those persons to consider ways In .which they can release labor and ma terial as well as save and earn money ;to invest in W ar Savings Stamps, and ,fet 4 per cent compound interest for It, is the purpose of the following questions: 1. Do you put out all unnecessary lights and burn as little wood and ceal as possible? Coal is needed to run railroad en- Slfies to drive big ships, and to make our manufactures. Save it by using ' all the daylight and sunlight possible. , X. Do you; avoid overheated rooms In winter by keeping temperature In your house down, to 68 or 70 degrees? This saves h e a t' and improves health. Try it thiB winter and see ;how much freer from colds your fam ily will be.' 9. Do you !avoid unnecessary travel? The Government has already called Upon citizens to take no unnecessary- 1 trips on railroads. The railroads are .seeded for jwar service, both passen- •r8 0 r-.and:freight. Think before you go! AT Do you ;savo gasoline, rubber, and •killed Iaboij by euttlng out all unnec- ; Meajry use of motor ears? Gasoline fs one of the most impor tant w ar’ ,supplies. .Every gallon ; counts. Rqbber is also in ’ demand. ; Chauffeurs are needed- On Government --.wojk, I ■ « -- •- Sf Do wmi save the time of your I and .the labor of the telephone iSdHfpany bJ cutting out unnecessary ;Bispfibne conversations? '__ j- Later wej may -be asked , to avoid !•11 but busipeA antf emergency calls ',between certain hours. The Govecn- J m eat needs, the telephone in its war ■ work. Let us keep off the lines! J 6. Do you buy only olothlng that Ie [necessary, and which will wear well? {Are you wearing, out your old things? I By so doing you. are saving labor 'and material that should be employed [ tor war work.

NOT SIIFFEB FBOM SUGAR SHORTAGE SAVS PtBE I SUGAR RATl II 1S TWO POUNDS NORTH CAROLINA WILL NOT SUF FER FROM SUGAR SHORTAGE SAYS PAGE. Successful Experiments Convince Of ficials That Substitutes Will Large ly Relieve Situation—Canning and Preserving May be Increased—For mulas to Be Printed. Raleigh.—No actual hardships is go ing to result in North Carolina from the acute shortage of sugar which ex- -ists at this time and there is no rea son at all why the quantities of fruits that are canned and preserved should be lessened in any degree. This is the frankly expressed opinion of State Food Administrator Henry A. Page, Conservation Chairman John Paul Lucas and Mrs. Jane S. McKlmmon, Director of Home Economics for the Food Administration and Head of Home Demonstration activities - in North Carolina. Experiments Encourage. Food Administration officials have been greatly concerned ovor the sugar shortage, and still are for that m atter, but they have been greatly encourag ed and relieved during the past few days by the marked success of experi ments that have been conducted by •Mrs. McKimmon and her wide-awake assistants In the use of cane syrup, sorghum, corn syrup, corn sugar and other procurable sugar substitutes. Mrs. McKimmon and her forces are working over time on these tests and are preparing tried and proven for mulas and recipes which, with accom panying suggestions, will be printed by the Food Administration In the form of a bulletin or leaflet in the im mediate future for distribution throughout North Carolina. The for mulas being prepared by Mrs. McKim- mon will be verly largely used In other States also, Washington authorities being keenly interested in them and recognizing the splendid ability of Mrs. McKimmon’s organization in this line of work. Can Add Sugar Later. It is a recognized fact that sugar does increase the palatability of can ned fruits but the product may be saved just as easily without the addi tion, of sugar, according to Mrs. Mc- Kimmon. In fact a large number of housewives have always canned with out sugar, adding sugar only when the fruit is opened and used. Peaches, ap ples, pears, berries, etc., which are de sired for marmalade, jelly, jam or preserves, may be canned now and made into the ultimate product weeks or months from now when,.if sugar is ■not available, there will certainly be available a considerable quantity of cane syrup, corn syrup, corn sugar, sorghum, or other substitute. Experiments have .developed the fact that for best results' different sub stitutes must be used for different fruits or different products and the tests are for the purpose of deter mining which substitutes may be most satisfactorily used in each kind of fruit. Mrs. M. M. Davis, of Mrs. Mc Kimmon’s organization, is using In her demonstrations samples of apple, peach and pineapple marmalade-made with syrup instead of sugar, and con noisseurs agree that the product does not suffer at all in comparison with similar products ,containing sugar. Reports to the agricultural forces and Food Administration here indi cate that there is a large acreage of cane planted for syrup in North Caro lina this year and a large production of syrup is anticipated. TAR HEELS WILL GET HIGHER WHEAT PRICE “Fair Price” for Flour and Mill Feeds for AU North Carolina Mills Fixed by Grain Corporation. Raleigh.—W heat growers of North Carolina will receive a higher price for their new crop of wheat than they received for the last. The average price in North Carolina for No. I red wheat will be approximately $2.45 per bushel. No. 2 red wheat will be 4 cents per bushel less and No. 3 red, which embraces most of this year’s crop In this State, is 7 cents under the basic price. ' The prices mentioned are not "fix ed prices. The Grain Corporation does -fix "Fair Prices” above which the mills must not sell flour and mill feeds, and they are allowed to pay whatever trade conditions warrant them In paying for wheat. The prices mills may pay for wheat are approximately the St. Louis price JlUB freight, and North CaroUna be ing an importing State in so far as wheat Is concerned, it will not be nec-' essary for Tar Heel wheat growers to avail themselves of the guaranteed price at. which the Government would take , their_ wheat at Newport News, Va. The price they would get is prob- ably 20 cents per bushel in excess of the guaranteed price. . '<j ’. The past can never be' undone.

Raleigh.—Beginning August I, the voluntary sugar ration of household consumers will be two pounds per per son per month and the allotment of certificates for sugar to hotels, res taurants, boarding-houses, county homes and Bimilar institutions will be on a baslB of two pounds for each ninety meals served. This means a reduction of 83 1-3 per cent. Tlie rationing plan in so far as household consumers are concerned is more or less voluntary but all retail .merchants are expected to confine their sales of sugar to two pounds per person per month for the families they -sell. In fact this Is the only way to secure an equitable distribution of sugar as the allotment by the Food Administration to the State is based on this ration and the certificates al lowed to merchants are also based on this ration. Supply Is Small. The sugar situation confronting the United States is described by the Food Administration as follows: • “The sugar supplies throughout the country, in homes, stores, factories, and bakeries are at low ebb; the pro duction from the American beet and Louisiana cane crops has been disap pointing; the yield In Porto Rico has likewise been smaller than anticipat ed; and the inability of the United States and the Allies to secure sugar from Java and other distant sources on account of the imperative nail for ships for the movement of troops and their supplies has materially reduced the supply from such quarters. Added to this already difficult situation the quantity needed by the army and navy greatly exceeds earlier estim ates; we must send a large amount to France and Italy to take the place of the great volume lost through the German and Austrian invasions during which much beet land was over-run and many factories destroyed; we have to supply certain quantities to neutral nations under agreements; and finally over fifty million pounds were lost re cently through submarine sinkings off our Atlantic coast.” it’s an “Essential Elem ent” In asking the public voluntarily to reduce their consumption to a level more nearly equal to the compulsory restrictions In effect In France, Eng land and Italy, the statem ent says that while sugar is often used as a luxury In America, it has become qn “essen tial element for the success of the war among the nations of Europe.” “Upon our action here,” the state' meQt continues, "depends the possi bility of maintaining the ration to our own fighting men and those ot the Allies as well as of avoiding a still fur ther reduction of the allotments to the civil populations of the nations fight- Ihg Germany which are already down to a point far 'under their normal needs.” . CANNING WITHOUT SUGAR. The United States Food Admin istration Asks You: TO fcAVE 8UGAR Dry some of. your fruit instead of canning it. Try pulping fruits according to the English' method: Place fruit over a gentle heat until enough moisture comes out to prevent burning, then in crease the heat until the fruit boils. Boil an hour, stirring constantly, and can in sterilized. _Jars. With some dry fruits, such as apples, a little water will have to "be added to pre vent burning. Uses for Pulped .,Fruit. Pulpel fruit can he used for • jam, stewed fruit, puddings and pies. Since we must be espo. daily careful of sugar, it is well to make up the pulp into jam, one jar at a time. The English housewife allows half a pint of sugar to a pint of pulp, which she says, “is quite sweet enough and almost a luxury in these days. I' ‘ t ; • Can fruits .'without sugar.

IS IH GREAT PERU More Than 17,000 Prisoners, Large Number of Guns, and - Immense Amount of Supplies Captured, P Notwithstanding the fact that the •Germans have brought up strong re inforcements on both wings of the bat tle front, the ' British and French forces everywhere have beaten oif the enemy and continued their victorious progress. Many additional tow ns, have ‘ been captured by Field Marshal Haig's men in the north, while the French have successfully overcome obstacles placed in their way and reached ter ritory north of Soissons which adds further to the danger of the Germans in the Noyon sector and to their line running eastward from Solssons to Blieims. AU along the front from Arras to the Somme, the Germans are gradual ly being driven back to the old Hin- denburg line by the British. Along the Somme the enemy is being harass ed well to the east of Bray, while farther north strong counter attacks hare been repulsed and the towns of Mametz, the Mametz wood, Martin Puich, Le Sars and Le Barciue have been captured. It is around Bapaume th at the Ger mans are keeping up their strongest efforts to hold back the tide that is surging against them but the-British are continuing .to make slight gains daily in the process of surrounding the town, which seemingly soon must be evacuated. Since August 21st the British have taken more than 17,000 prisoners and large -numbers of guns and great quantities of supplies have fallen into their hands.

CQUHTER - AnACK Threatened With pocketing Germans Seem to Be Making Haste In Their Retreat.. . 18,000 KILOS EXPLOSIVES DROPPED ON ENEMY LINES Paris.—The Frenh have continued their progress east of Bagneux1 be tween the Ailette and the Aisne, ac cording to the war office announce ment. They repulsed counter-attacks west of Crecy-au-Mont. Four hundred additional, prisoners have been taken. The text of the statem ent says: "Both artilleries were active in the neighborhood of Lassigny. “Between' the Ailette and the Aisne we made new progress east of Bag- neux and repulsed enemy counter-at tacks west of Crecyipu-Mont. We aptured 400 prisoners. “Aviation: It was impossible to carry out any bombing operations during the day. During the-night the weather improved and our bombing machines immediately took, the air. Eighteen thousand, four hundred kilos of explosives were dropped behind the battle front and .on stations, which were damaged. AMERICAN BOMBING AIRPLANES DROPPINB BOMBS ON CON FLANS Over the SOenile front from the re gion of Arras to the north of Soissons the German armies are meeting with defeats which apparently spell dis aster. - Everywhere the British and PYench forces have continued on the attack; the enemy has been- sanguinar ily worsted. And. the" end of his trials is not yet in sight To the British over the 30 miles of the fighting zone from the Cojeul river southeast of ATras to Lihons, ;south of the Somme, numerous towns have fall en, and the enemy territory has been penetrated to a depth of several miles. Where the French are fighting be tween the Matz river and the territory north of Soissons additional goodly gains have been made in the envelop ing of Noyon and the general maneu ver which seeks to crush or drive out the Germans from the salient be tween the Somme and the Allette, and to put into -jeopardy the entire Ger man line running to Rheims. Notwithstanding the fact that the Germans brought up large numbers of fresh reinforcements in an endeavor to stay the progress of Haig’s armies their efforts were without avail. Where they were able momentarily to hold back their oncoming foes, the Germans finally were forced to cede ‘he ground demanded.; And they paid \ terrible price in men killed, wound ed or made prisoners. The entire Arrsis-Albert road has been irossed by the British. The strong ly held positions where the Gertnans -aw disaster facing them if they fell were stormed and captured, and the British -pushed them going eastward. Although the Americans at the commencement of the Somme offen sive were brigaded with the British long the northern'hank of the Sommet no mention of their having taken part in the fight is made. It is probable that they have been moved to some other portion of the -battlefront from which Marshal Foch1 contemplates another smash at the enemy.

HAPPY VALLEY AN UNHAPPY VALLEY W ith the French Army in France— The retreat of the Germans before both the third and tenth French arm ies continued with increased speed over a large part of the battle front and in some cases in disorder. General Mangin's rneii; are approach ing the Coucy forest and !are nearly on the line held in April along the River Ailette. They have also widen ed their hold on the Oise to Bretigny, midway -between Noyon and Chauny. The French advance towards the roads leading -to Chauny adds another menace to their line of retirem ent and explains the acceleration of the enemy’s retreat. Bourgignon, SL Psul-Aux-Bois and Quincy -fell into the hands of the French giving them command of the valley of the Ailette from the region of COucy-Ie-Chateau to the Oise. General Humbert’s troops] also are pressing the .enemy vigorously. Happy valley truly is a shambles. Its name belies it. • South of the Somme the Austral ians were most' successful in the part they, played in the batlte. They easily attained all their objectives and ap parently hold Chuignolles, Chuignes and Herieville and are pushing east ward of those'villages a little distance to make sure of holding them. In thi sregion 33 German officers and 1,500 men of other ranks were made prisoner. Eleven of the cap tured officers were from one regiment. The Germans offered heavy resist ance at Chuignoiles, but with the as sistance of tanks the Australians ham mered through the enemy and swept on, leaving the town and its envi rons filled with dead Germans.

Along the Scarpe river, east of Ar-; ras, Field Marshal Haig’s forces also: have kept, up their harassing tactics; against the enemy, who has been; compelled to fall back eastward along the Scarpe river. The Germans re-i sisted vigorously, b u t, all to no pur pose, and the British advanced their, lines to ‘he , east of the village of Fampoux. Although Haig claimed only; slight (forward movement here, par-, ticular significance attaches to it by, reason of the fact that the Germans have been driven back until they are, virtually upon the old battle line as it stood in December, 1917. Northward the Lys salient again has been narrowed down by the oper ations of the British who, north of Merville, have taken the villages of; Vierhock and LaCouronne, and also] reached the hamlet of I'Epinette. -This, gain represents a forward movement; of about a mile and a half. Taken all in all the new victories of the allied troops are highly- impor- tant ones. The advance of the French northwest of Solssons, taken in don-, junction with the successful maneu vers on the Lassigny sector and south of Roye, where Beuvraignes has been captured, seemingly means that the enemy forces from the Somme to the Oise soon must give up their positions and retreat eastw ard..

An-allotment is part Of a soldier’s pay deducted for a'.benefleiary or set of beneficiaries. An allowance is an amount paid by the government to the family, of . a man in service.- Al lowances, range from: $5 to $50,i' ac cording >to the number and personnel of the familyl -For example, ■ a Sol dier’s motherless child receives from the Bureau of-W ar Risk Insurance a. $5 allowance in addition to the allot m ent; a wife .without children receives a $15 government' allowance plus the i$15 allotment; a ,wife with two chil dren receives $82,501 .allowance plus the.$15 allotment. .. The recent changes In- -the 1 allot- ment-allowance System are essentially ’two. (I) The enlisted man, formerly required to allot a certain proportion of his pay; must’ now allot a'flat $15 if his' dependents 'are all in Class A or all in Class B; if he has depend=- ents in both classes,;he must allot $15 plus $5. Class A dependents includes wives and children; - all other benefi ciaries are in Class B. (2) Allotments in excess of th e ’ required 1 amounts ’($15, or $15 plus $5, as’ the 'case m ay' be) must be voluntarily made by' the men ’in service, and are how paid through' the service departments. Al lotm ents Which-do not carry family allowances—allotments to' friends or cousins, for example—-are also paid through the service departments. Vol untary allotments, including' excess al lotments to wives and other depend ents, wdre formerly paid' through- the W ar Risk Bureau; they are nOw paid through the W ar Department, Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard. If the allotment' sent by the W ar Risk Bufeau is smaller than ' last month; the difference will probably be'm ade up by’ a separate check through another department. If not, it is because the soldier or sailor has neglected to make the voluntary al lotment. Meh id service hive been supplied with the ’ necessary applica tion blanks. ’ ' ' ' ‘ The family of a married sergeant who makes $48 will-now-receive from the W ar ^.isk Bureau (i) the allot ment/fixed at $15, (2) the government family allowance, the amount depend ing on the make-up of the family. If the. sergeant wishes to allot $10 more than the required $15, he makes ap plication to his own service depart ment. In this case the extra $1-0 is paid by a separate, check through the service department. The change of ,system may, delay some checks and miay cause temporary ,anxiety. .B ut its, result will be to simplify enormously the work of the War. Risk Bureau, and . to speed j the deliyery of allotment-allowance checks during the remainder of the War.

After a short experience as a recruiting officer id London, he is sent to train ing quarters in Prance, where he first hears the sound of big guns and makes the acquaintance of “cooties.” After a brief period of training Einpey’s company is sent into the front-line trenches, where he takes his first turn on the fire step while Jthe bullets whiz overhead. Bmpey learns, as comrade falls, that death lurks always in the trenches. Chaplain distinguishes himself by rescuing wounded men under 'h o t' fire. With pick and shovel Empey has experience as a trench digger in Xo» Alan’s Land. Exciting experience, on listening post detail.

He was fifty-seven, although looking forty. '"Old Scotty” had been born in the Northwest and had served in the Northwest Mounted police. He was a typical cdwpuncher and Indian fighter and was a dead shot irtth the rifle, and took no pains to disguise this fact from u s.1 He used to take care of his rifle as if it were' a baby. In his spare moments you could Blways see him cleaning it or 'polish ing the stock. 'Woe Betide 'the man who by mistake happened to get hold of this rifle; he soon found ,out'his error. Scott was as deaf as' a jnule, end it was amusing at parade tQ watch him In the manual o f arms,, slyly glancing out of the corner of his eye at the man nest to him' to see what the order was. How he passed the doctor was a mystery to Tis; he must have bluffed his way through, because be certainly was Independent. Beside him the Fourth of July looked like Good Friday. He wore at the tim e’s large sombrero, had a Mexican stock saddle over bis shoulder, a lariat on his arm, and a 'forty-five” Mngiffg from his hip. Dumping this parapherV naila on the floor he Went up to the recruiting officer and • shouted: ! ‘Tm from America, west of the Rockies, and want to join your. d;— -d army.

Atkins calls it. ,The day. that .he was detailed as brigade sniper he cele brated his appointment by Wowing the whole platoon to fags.

Packers’ Profits Are Regulated The public should understand that the profits of the packers have been limited by the Food Administration since November 1,1917. For this pur pose, the business of Swift & Company is now divided into three classes: Class I includes such products as beef, pork, m utton, oleom argarine and others th at are essentially anim al products. Profits are lim ited to 9 per cent of the capital em ployed in these departm ents, (including su r plus and borrow ed money),' or hot to exceed tw o and a half cents on. .. each dollar of sales. C lass 2 includes the soap, glue, fertilizer, and other departm ents m ore or less associated w ith the m eat business. M any of these .de partm ents are in com petition w ith outside businesses w hose profits - are not lim ited. P ro fitsin th isclass are restricted to 15 p er cent of the capital em ployed. C Isms 3 includes outside, investm ents, such as those in stock’ yards,'and • the operation of packing plants in foreign countries. Profits in this class are not lim ited. Total profits for all departments together in 1918 will probably be . between three and four per, cent on an increased volume of sales. V The restrictions absolutely guar antee a reasonable relation between live stock prices and wholesale meat prices, because the packer’s profit can not possibly average .more than a fraction of a cent per pound of product. Since the profits op meat (Class1I) are running only about 2 cents on each •• dollar of sales, we have to depend on. the profits from soap, glue; fertilizer (Class 2, also limited) and other depart ments, (Class . 3) to obtain reasonable earnings on capital! . , Swift & Company is conducting , its business so as to come within these, limitations. i Swift & Conipany, U. S A. jOn Many, Farms Products; From Fowl* 1 Can Be Counted on as Practically ' CiearProfifc '(Prepaied by the United States Depart- i mentjof Agriculture.) : The farmer who raises the ordinary grains and keeps some live stock has perhaps the greatest opportunity that has ever come to him for'm aking profit from poultry. The possibilities for profit are perhaps not so large as .they used to be for the opecial poultry !farmer, and that fact may have led- some general farmers to believe that ■the situation applies In some way to them ; but there exists just here an ,unusual paradox. The very conditions that may make poultry and egg pro duction a losing enterprise on the spe cialized poultry farm tend to make It an increasingly gainful one for the general farmer. Where nearly all of his feed has to be bought at high prices, the margin between cost of pro duction and proceeds from sale 'be comes extremely narrow, but where practically all of the poultry feed is made up of waste materials that would otherwise not be utilized In any man ner, the percentage of profit becomes very much larger when prices are high, than It ever could have been when prices were low. Poultry on the farm obtain a very great part of their feed by foraging, by gleaning the waste from stable yards and feeding lots, by consuming the scraps from the kitchen door, by preying upon insect pests in pasture and field, and In only a relatively small degree from ! grain or other commodities that would be marketable. A farm er whose poul try is fed in this way may count all of the money' received for eggs and surplus poultry as practically Clear profit. When, therefore,1 eggs iand poultry are selling at higher prices 'than have usually been obtainable, the farm er’s margin of profit without ex penditure is very greatly increased. It is, therefore, to the farmers of the country that the nation must look for the greater part of the immedi ate increase of poultry products which will make it possible to supply our own army and navy, with red meats and at the same time furnish the allies with the animal foods they need.

Stocks Will Be Short Until Beginmng of New Year—Ration May Be Enlarged Then. Two pounds of HDgar a month—half • pound a week—that Is the sugar ra tion the U. S. Food Administration has asked every Amprlrnn to obs.erve pntil January 1,1919, In order to make Bnre there shall be enough for our Army and Navy, for the Allied armies and for the civilians of those nations. By New Tear’s the world sugar sit uation will be relieved somewhat by the new crop. Cuban sugar of this year’s crop will be arriving In this country. Every available sugar source will be drawn on by the Food Administration during the next winter months to main tain sufficient stocks here to keep up our national sugar supply. During Oc tober the first American beet sugar will arrive In the markets. By the middle of November some of our Lou isiana cane crop will be available. AU of this sugar and more may be needed to. keep this nation supplied on a re duced ration and to safeguard the Al lied sugar ration from still further reduction. In Europe the present ra tion is already reduced to a minimum. Our Situation. Tbe situation which the United States faces in its efforts to maintain a fair distribution of sugar to the Al lied world is as follows: Sugar supplies throughout the coun try, In homes, stores, factories and bakeries are at a low ebb. We must make increased sugar shipments to the Allies. Production of American beet and Louisiana cane crops have been disap pointing. Porto Rlco crops have been cur tailed. Immense sugar stocks In Java can not be reached on account of the ship ping shortage; ships are needed for troop'movements artd munitions. Army and Navy sugar requirements have increased as well as those from the Allies. Most industries using sugar have had their allotment reduced by one-balf; some will receive no sugar. Households should make every ef fort to preserve the fruit crop .without sugar, or with small amounts of sugar. Later, when the sugar supply is larg er, the canned fruit may be sweetened as It Is used. n W r- ibjtre France must import sugar today, most of It from this side of the ocean, because the largest portion of French sugar beet land is in German hands. As a result, the French people have been placed on a sugar ration of about 18 pounds a year for domestic use; a pound and a half a month. This photograph rhows how the German troops destroyed French sugar mills. Tbanks to the French - rationing sys tem the annual consumption ha9 been cut to 600,000 tons, according to re ports" reaching the United States Food Administration. Before the war France had an average sugar crop of about 750,000 tons of sugas and had some left over for export ' OUR SAVED FOOD FED THE ALLIES Food Administrator Writes Presi: dent America Conserved 141,- 000,000 Bushels Wheat. CREDIT DUE TO WOMEN. Meat and Fat Shipments Increased by 844,600,000 Pounds. Conservation measures applied by the American people enabled the Unit ed States to ship to the Allied peoples and to onr own forces overseas 141,- 000,000 bushels of wheat and 844,600,- 000 pounds of meat during the past year, valued In all at $1,400,000,000. This was accomplished in the face of a serious food shortage In this country, bespeaking the wholeheartedness and patriotism with which the American people have met the food crisis abroad. Food Administrator Hoover, In a let ter to President Wilson, explains how the situation was m et The voluntary conservation program fostered by the Food Administration enabled the piling up of the millions of bushels of wheat during 1917-18 and the shipment of meat during 1917-18. The total value of all food ship ments to Allied destinations amounted to $1,400,000,000, all this food being bought through or In collaboration with the Food Administration. These Sgures are all based on official reports and represent food_ exports for the harvest year that closed June 30, 1918. The shipments of meats and fats (including meat products, dairy prod ucts, vegetable oils, etc.,) to Allied des tinations were as follows: Fiscal year 1916-17... .2,166,500,000 lbs. Fiscal year 1917-18.. ..3,011,100,000 lbs. Increase ..................... 844,600,000 lbs. Onr slaughterable animals at the be ginning of the last fiscal year were not appreciably larger than the year be fore and particularly In hogs^ they were probably less. The increase In shipments is due to conservation and the extra weight of animals added by our farmers. The full effect of these efforts began to bear their best results In the last half of the fiscal year, when the ex ports to the Allies were 2,133,100,000 pounds, as against 1,266,500,000 pounds In the same period of the year before; This compares with an average of 801,000,000 pounds of total exports for the same half years In the three-year pre-war period. In cereals and cereal products re duced to terms of cereal bushels our shipments to Allied destinations have been: Fiscal year 1916-17..259,900,000bushels Fiscal .year 1917-18..340,800,000 bushels ^ w s m VNtAADtN*.

The military situation de mands that every available ship be placed at the disposal, of the Army or Navy.',When we save sugar, we save shipping. . Increase . ............. 80,900,000 bushels Of these cereals our shipments of the prime breadstuffs in the fiscal year 1917-18 to Allied destinations were: Wheat 131,000,000 bushels and of rye 13.000.000 bushels, a total of 144,900,- 000 bushels. The exports to Allied destinations during the fiscal year 1916-17 were: Wheat 135,100.000 bushels and rye 2,300,000 bushels, a total of 137,400,000 bushels. In addition some 10,000,000 bushels of 1917 wheat are now In port for Allied destinations or en route thereto. The total shipments to Allied countries from our last harvest of wheat will be therefore, about 141,000,- 000 bushels, or a total of 154,900,000 bushels of prime breadstuffs. ' In ad dition to this we have shipped somr 10.000.000 bushels to neutrals depend ent upon us, and we have received some imports from other quarters. , “This accomplishment of our people In this m atter stands out even more clearly If we bear in mind that we had available In the fiscal year 1916-17 from net carry-over and as surplus over our normal consumption about 200.000.000 bushels of wheat which we ! were able to export that year without trenching on our home loaf,” Mr.. Hoover said. “This last year, however, owing to the large failure of the 1917 wheat crop, we had available from net carry-over and production and Imports only just about our normal consump tion. Therefore our wheat shipments to Allied destinations represent ap proximately savings from our own wheat bread. - "These figures, however, do not fully convey the volume of the effort and sacrifice made during the past year by the whole American people. De-. spite the magnificent effort .of our agri cultural population In planting a much Increased acreage In 1917, not only was there a very large failure In wheat, but also the com failed to mature prop> erly, and our corn is our dominant crop. “I am sure,” Mr. Hoover wrote In concluding his report, “that ail the millions of our- people, agricultural as well as urban, who hnve contributed to -these results should feel a very definite satisfaction that ln a year of universal food shortages In the north* ern hemisphere all of those people Joined together against Germany have come through into sight of the coming harvest not only with wealth and strength fully maintained, but with only temporary periods of hardship. “It Is' difficult to distinguish between , various sections'of our people—the : homes, public eating places, food trades, urban or agricultural popula tions—In assessing credit for these re sults, but no one will deny the domi nant part of the American women." SHAREOliRSUGAR WITHmALLIES British Get Two Pounds a Month. French Pound and Half, Italians One Pound. GERMAN SUPPLY PLENTIFUL AU Nations Permit Use of Sweetening . for Homo Prestrvina Purposes. America’s new sugar ration of two pounds a month per person is equita ble when compared with the sugar ra tion enforced by rigid governmental order in England, France and Italy, na tions with which we are sharing sugar. Each Allied nation—In the matter of sugar consumption—Is sharing on near est possible equal terms the hardshlps- Imposed by greatly altered conditions In the world sugar situation. Formerly classed as a luxury, sugar Is now a war time essential. The fair and just division of this essential Is In the hands of the various AlUed food controllers. The United States Food Administra tion has asked this nation to observe a voluntary sugar ration of two pounds per person a month. In the other countries at war with Germany sugar Is one of the scarce articles on every menu—whether In the households of both rich and poor, or In the hotels. England today has a sugar ration of two pounds per month per person. In France the ration is a pound and a half and In Italy it Is one potfhd a month. And the prices In allied coun: tries are from two to three times as high as In America. If you go to a hotel In England or France these days and order tea or coffee they serve absolutely no sugar with it. If you -want- sugar you must bring It with you. In England It Is allowable to use one-seventh of an ounce of sugar In the preparation of each luncheon. In France many persons carry little sac charine tablets about with them for use In hotels and In England rich and poor must take their sugar with them If they wish to have sweetened tea while visiting friends.. Before the war started France had 625,000 acres devoted to sugar produc tion. By 1917 the French sugar acre age had decreased to 180,000 acres. Today the French man or woman with a sugar card has no assurance whatever that he or she will be able to actually buy sugar. To buy It, one must first find it . Italy Has “State Sugar.” Especially drastie-regulations govern the use of sugar In Italy. Its manu facture, distribution and sate are close ly controlled, and In part actually taken over by the state. » Saccharine Is permitted to be sold and used as a substitute for sugar and the government manufactures a mix ture of saccharine and sugar cslled “State Sugar," which Is largely used. German Sugar Ration Adequate. Germany, before the war, produced a great surplus of sugar and exported large quantities. Today the Germans have virtually gone out of the export business, but have plenty of cheap sugar for home use. Wholesale prices prevalent In the Allied nations, according to informa tion received by the United States Food Administration are as follows: England, 10 cents a pound; France, 12 cents; Italy, 26 cents. While these high prices are belna paid abroad the American wholesule price is being held at 7 H cents. CANNING WITHOUT SUGAR. The United States Food Admin istration Asks You: TO CAVE SUGAR Dry some of your fruit instead of canning It. Try pulping fruits according to the English method: Place fruit over a gentle .heat until enough moisture coines " out to prevent burning, then in crease the heat until the fruit boils. Boil an' hour, stirring constantly, and can In sterilized jars. W ith some dry fruits, such as apples, a little water will have to be added to pre vent burning. Uses for Pulped Frulfc PulpH fruit can be used for jam, stewed fruit, puddings and pies. Since we must be esp»- cially careful of sugar, It Is well to make up the pulp into jam, one ja r at a time. The English ' housewife allows half a pint of sugar to a pint of pulp, which she says, “Is quita sweet enough and almost a luxury In these days. Can fruits without sugar.
