Manufacturers Record. * Amid the gigantic etrnggle of this bonr, IeaderB in Germany are seriously makiDg their plans for what they call !‘the next war.” It is their definite intention if they do not win this war and win every, thing for which they are fighting, and that means world domination to plan on a still larger scale for “the next war.” . This thought is being pressed upon the German people, and they are being told by their leaders that Germany, must even now begin to look forward to “ the next War.” It is the belief of these people that if they cannot conquer the world this time, they most bring about a peace which will leave Germany in a position, learning by present experience, to prepare on a still larger scale for tbeir next great effort to cocqusr all man. kind. This is "no idle or visionary dream on the part Ot Germany, for if Germany could bring abont a peace which wonld leave.-it and its allies nnconqnered, it wonld be in immediate shape to concentrate its entire activities, mental and financial, to the build­ ing up of a still greater fighting machine for that next war to which Germany is looking forward,- .a'6 for years it looked- forwerd to the day when it hoped to be able 'to crush France and England and then to crush America. Aprematurepeace or a peace with an unbeaten and uncrushed Germany wonld leave that country in a position to edcnre control of ltuesia, with its boundless .resour­ ces, and with its 9.000,000 square miles of territory or one-sixth ot the land area of the world.' and with nearly 200,000.000 people,_ who under good leadership could be made into an army of tremen­ dous lighting power. With Bussia in its possession, Germany would become the great­ est financial, industrial and mili- taiy power in the world, so far surpassing in that respect the com­ bined wealth and power of Great Britain and the United States that it would be able to win the next war. Moreover, while Germany was getting ready for that war the rest of the world would have to concentrate its'entire energy ;npon a feverish activity In'the creation of fighting machines-with all the wealth and all the power ot these countries given np to the building up of armies' and navies -and .the making of munitions, so that the entire world would be bnt one vast military camp. ; ’ The complete and overwhelming de/eat of Germany in this war and a drastic penalty imposed upor. Germany aod its' allies, 'a penalty of death for the leaders, find a fi­ nancial indemnity which . would tax those countries for fifty years to meet it, is the only possible Bid. vatiou for the world from German domination or- from a continued concentration of the world’s thoughts upon war to the exclns- ion of everything else, with -the strong probability that if Germany could absorb Russia it would then completely overrun.rtbe world.' This is the plain,-simple,. 'easily understood situation . which con- frouts iis, and he who does not see it is as blind to the truth as were those who in 1914 when.:.

The business of the Republican party at this moment is to do its ut­ most, with its great experience, brains and heart, iu everything that goes to the support of the war: to outdo the Democratic party in ev- erything that touches the war. This we have done. And in this course we shall persist to the end. without waver or shadow of turning, in this, the greatest of all crisis in our history, when the Republican party finds the control of the gov- ernmentjn other hands, it still sinks deeper into the- soul of the nation au 'jtrue t0 *ts traditions. becomes the dominant war party, we of that party pledging ourselves to give the last of our blood and our treasure to win the war and to win it now; pledging ourselves forever against an inconclusive peace, and at every moment of faltering on the part of those in power we instantly pick up the guerdon of battle and cry, “Car­ ry-on! Carry on! Carry onl” - ‘‘We challenge the opposition to do more. We dare them to do less.” Further, while we fight in France to make certain forever the right of free government throughout the world, we shall not forget that we have a republic to preserve in this country. We declare that while there is ab­ solutely nothing in this country which should not be taken and used for necessary war purposes, such taking shall be for war purposes one ly, and that in such action ther- must and shall not be any eventual ulterior object. The Republican party, from its inception, has stood against undue federalization of in­ dustries and activities. . We always have endeavored, and still snail en­ deavor to find the middle ground so well defined as “between the anar­ chy of unregulated individualism and the deadening formalism of in­ efficient and widespread state, own­ership.” bet all well-wishers of good .gov­ ernment, regardless of party affili­ ations,.watch -well the aneient-rland--' marks.' . The Republican party is the' party of the future-or there is no-use for the party. Ourpastrecord bf fifty years -of achievement is the best guarantee to the country of our fu­ ture fulfillment, but it is only on our future fulfillment that our useful­ness will depend. Thb Republican party will continue ■to be.the instrument in this country to apply to new conditions and chan­ ging conditions the wisdom of ex­ perience-and the efficacy of honest, zealous service. . The Republican party, guaranteed by its past, underwritten by its pre­ sent, will measure its future steps forward by the new needs of the na­ tion. And we shall wath well the ancient landmarks—“all that no harm ~ shall come to the Republic ” _______WILL H. HAYS. Sincere Gratitude. Mrs. William Bell, Logansport, Inc., writes: “I deem it my duty to express my gratitude for. the good Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy did me when I had a severe attack of diarrhoea three years ago. It was the only medicine thet relieved me.” NUMBER IZ The contemplated visit of the Grown Prince to Paris has bren postponed indefinitely on account of the impassable conditions of the roads between Hoissons and Khe ims.

He who had. contributed generous­ ly in the past dug down still deeper for more of the root of all evil,' Yea, he gave until it hurt, then gave until it quit hurting. But there were profiteers and tightwads who dug not; The Profiteer being a breeder of I. W W.ism, and the tightwad a wart on the face of the earth.

Jonathan Bourne. Jr., says, boil with much Irnth: ^ 1We must, not get the notion that the winning of the war is the only problem before this-country. .That is the most important prob 3ein— the one to which all others tnhst be subordinated. But there Arb numerous other tasks before us and; to which we must apply our- ISelves if we are to continue a pros­ perous, free and ptogressive peo­ ple. In onr. efforts not to irritate .the Bolshevik! of Russia, we must not: set aside law aud order in !America. Iu our passion for gov- orninent control of everything we must not stifle individual initia- itive. In our' desire to suppress tfaitors, we must not put a gag iu jthe mouths of patriots. In our ^seal to win the war, we must not "gedd porous raincoats to the sol Iliers in the trenches or let men of pctual or pretended influence in high places get unconscionable feee for securing government contracts for their clients. In our willing­ ness to pay large taxes for the sap port of the war, we mast not tax legitimate industry to.death. Nor inust we neglect our very impor taut agricultural interests by les­ sening instead of -increasing the production of foodv “ Win the war” is our first but nbt our only slogan. The man who sets out on bne undertaking and turns a blind pye and a deaf ear to every thing else is doomed to meet misfortune ” Debs Convicted. A t Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 12th,' Eugene-V- Debs, four-times candi- date ot ,the Socialist party for Pre Bident and famous, as a .Socialist orator and'leader was convicted on two out of ten of the original counts, viz. attempting to incite insubordination, etc., _iu navy and military eiicles, and attempting to obstruct Tecruitiug and uttering language tending to excite, pro­ voke aud encourage resistance to tbe United StateB. He made no defense stating that he denied nothing, repudiated nothing, re tracted nothing. The penalty is 20 years in prison and a fine of $1,- 000. Regarding his conviction Debs said: “ It is all right. I have no complaint to make. It will all come out right in God’s good time.’I He made his own de­ fense in a speech of one hour and a half aud his main argument was the exposition - of tbe principles aud hopes of Socialism, aud lor the liberty of speech guaranteed by the Constitution. Motion for a new trial was over-ruled- A mo­ tion for the arrest of sentence was also over ruled. The court admit ted Debs to $10,000 bail with per­ mission to leave the oortbern dis­ trict of Ohio only to go and remain at his home. - Can Now Eat And Sleep in Com­ fort.

I suffered from continual headache, was unable to digest my food, which seemed to lay as a dead weight on my stomach. I was very constipated and my complex­ ion became dark, yellow aod muddy as I felt. Sleeplessness was added to my misery, and I would awake as tired as when I went to sleep.

And the same Government is placing upon newspapers the heaviest burdens they ,have ever been called' upon to bear in tbe matter pf postage rates. When the Government wants a thousand feet of lumber, it buys and pays for it. And so on with all'commodities, other than news paper space.

Thepeopleare tiring of the secret government that has- been in control at Washington and are determined to send to the Halls of Congress men who will see to it that the light of day is let in upon the devious methods pursued by the party now in power. The- gains in Republican strength reflected in the Maine returns verify the prediction long s>ince made by Ies ders of the party in W ashington that the claim of the President in the last campaign in the cry of “ He kept U3 out of w ar” would be repudiated at the first opportunity. The present elect­ ions also furnish the voters with their first chance to express their opinion of the aircraft scandal, the shipping fiasco of last year, and the notorious waste of public funds in the attempt to produce munitions and supplies for the army. Those in control of the Executive branch of the Government cannot be ousted for two years more, but meanwhile the people intend to put a check i n their reckless exploitation of th.- public business for political ends b. sending to Congress men who will insist on thorough investigation and, publicity. “W.

Harris, candidate for the Democratic nomi­ nation for Senator in Georgia, four days before the primary election The President assured the voters of Georgia, through Mr. Harris, that there was “no cause for concern ov erthe price of cotton.” How does the President know there is ho cause for concern?

If he is undertaking t«> do it on his own information and judgment, he is undertaking a task that is as big as any that usually oc cupies the exclusive attention of a commission for a period of severa months. If he is attempting to do it on the information and judgment of others, he is rendering a decisiot i s advance of the report of his ad vises.

Wiley J. Crotts, Erie; Pa.—With the ap­ proach of the fourth .great Liberty Loan, now under way here in the United States, Iw onderhow m anyof oar people have really stopped to consider just what ir is, and really means, doubtless there are a great many who have already began sav­ ing and making plans to buy bonds. Some of us no doubt, who hasn't, been giving it a thought and who feel that the nickels and dimes that they have given the Red Cross and' other organizations will suffice for their not buying bonds, but my answer to this is “No” it will not suifice'or fake the place of bonds, or will be considered an excuse for not buying bands, by the more patriotic, people nf this couniry. What we have given to the Red Cross,'the Selvaiion Army, the Y. M. C. A. or any other organization has of no doubt been given with an American spi­ rit. even some times at a 'sacrifice, and it certainly has been given for a good cause, but the Red Cross and other organizations to which we have given, are different or ganizations altogether, what we have 'given the Red Cross we done knowing that in return we would get nothing, such as interest or compensation on our money, but we gave it as a free gift to help feed and care for our wounded boys over there, that's fighting to make this world a safe place to live in. But to bay Liberty Bonds, we are simply loaning our money to Uucle Sam to carry on this great war that we are now engaged in and not giv­ ing it to him. he hasn’t asked us to give him a cent, but what he wants us to do is loan him our money, and at a certain period of time he will pay. back to us all the money we have loaned him and-wiib interest and with a larger interest per­ haps than some of us would have derived from the use of our money otherwise, and we would certainly be helping a worthy cause- To carry on this war, its a well known fact that-Uncie Sam must have money, and to avoid taxing the people he h is asked them to lend him their money, and by so doing avoid taxation, in order that he might successfully carry on this war, to a successful finish. To carry cn this war it means that hundreds of ships must be built to transport our boys across the Atlantic. Food and oth r material must be sent across for our boys and our allies, and in order to do this the money must come from some source, as the re suit Uncle Sam has asked us to lend him our aid and money to accomplish this. But of course if the people refuse to aid him. and fail to come to his assistance, then he will be .compelled, as a patriotic duty, to impose more drastic, measures, by taxing the people of this - country in order to raise enough funds to win this war, of course if this action is necessary, the money raised by taxation and other means will not be returned to us, but will hav£ been given our government. The least that we here at huine can be askad to do is to give and loan our support to the government. Think of tbe 1;800.000 of our boys that are now over there fishting for tbe safety of our homes and country, 3-.000 miles from )gved ones, yet, are we not Wifiine to give our money to back them up and show to them we are with them as true b'ocded Americans. Ali of-us lreal zs are not able to buy a half dozen bonds-but it is our duty to buy I 2 <r three such as our financial means will allow as a sacrifice will allow and by fo doing you wiil have a clear con- science, and Uhcle Sam -and th£> patriotic people of the United States will look up­ on you as a true blooded America^ with a right for protection under the^fl-ig that has never known defeat.

Dr. Hoyle turned tbe drug store over to the visitors dur­ ing the afternoon and they made merry eating and drinking. Thru the kindness of General Manager. J. W.

Af­ ter supper, despite the rain, tbe class was carried through a part of the Cooleemee mills, and afterwards enjoyed the moving picture show which is run under the able manage­ ment of Mr. Ervin. The class was carried to Cooleemee in a large truck, biit owing to the rain and muddy roads an extra car had to be secured to help bring the girls home. Mr. A. D.

No electric lights here and at night ev­ erything is dark. i Haven’t had a letter from you since v e left to come over bnt hope that some are on the way. Hope that you folks are all well and will keep so until I return. Received a card from my girl in -the mail today and it sure made me feel good I will try to write more often but you understand, that we are busy these days.

A poster recently issued by the im­ perial German government in an effort to belittle the participation of America in the war and thus strengthen the morale' of her people form the text of one of the most striking pieces of litera­ ture that the bureau of publicity of the war loan organization has prepared for use in the forthcoming Fourth Lib­ erty loan. The center of the poster is devoted t e a drawing showing New York city on one side of tlie Atlantic and a tre­ mendous explosion on the other side, probably ■ somewhere in France. Two sinking vessels are shown in the lane of travel between New York and France, while in the offing are two U-boats securely afloat. “Opportunity for the German U-boats!” is the catch- line for this section of the poster. The lane of travel In which the boats are sinking bears this inscription: “America—Europe. Distance 200 times greater than from England to France moinland.” In a corner, of this sec­ tion of the poster are shown the names of Serbia, Montenegro, Italy. Rou- manin, Russia and Belgium.

King Ferdinand’s crown Is at ,stake and he Is trying to save his dynasty. they have sacrificed thousands of men to hold. The French Iosse^ have been remarkably light, in spite of the fact that the Germami resistance stiffened GEN. K. M. VAN ZANDT ISNEW HEAD OF U. C. V. Tulsa, O kla--The United Confeder­ ate Veterans unanimously elected Gen. i t M. Van Zandt, of Fort W orth Texas, commander-in-chief, chose the commanders for the thr«e .chief divi­ sions of the organizations and adjourn­ ed their twenty-eighth annual re­ union, leaving the location of their next reunion to be determined by a committee headed by General Van Zandt, and the division commanders. Every effort is made In the wording and the Illustrations of the poster to minimize and ridicule the efforts of the United States In the war. A striking example of this is found In the figure of Uncle Sam, who is pictured as a 'codaverous individual who wears an American flag with nine stars and five stripes around his plug hat and smokes a long-stemmed cob pipe. He also ap-. pears to be wearing spats or dancing pumps. The enormous figure of a Russian soldier is.the first object on the poster to strike the eye: He stands with hands In Iiis overcoat pockets, indica­ tive of tlie fact that' he is through fighting. Beside lilm stands Uncle Sam -holding a small figure, designed to represent the United States army, In ing, have drawn more closley their lines In the investment of the town1, on the northwest, west and south. The stubborn resistance of the Ger­ mans, in defense and in counter-at- tacks, ,has been unavailing except to Impede the progress of the men' of the armies of Field Marshal Haig and General Debeney. In Macedonia the Bulgarian and German troops are still faced with j disaster in Palestine the remaining Turks seem to have scarcely a chance for escape from the British forces and friendly tribesmen who are clos­ ing in upon> them east of the River Jordan. More than 40,000 prisoners and 265 guns have been taken by the British and yet General Allenby’s ap­ petite for further emoluments for his hard campaign has not been satiated. Gauged by the swiftness of the. strokes Allenby is delivering, it is his purpose absolutely to overwhelm the Ottomans. And the fulfillment of his plans seems appreciably near. eUBMARINE WHEN ATTACKED BY SEAPLANE FIGHTS BACK ------------London.—The first case In which it Is known that a submarine fought back when attacked by a seaplane resulted in the probable destruction of the submarine by an Americtm- avi­ ator, Reserve Ensign J. F. Carson. W ith shrapnel from . the elevated forward gun of the submarine burst­ ing around his seaplane. Ensign Car­ son maneuvered until he was able to pour machine gun fire into the crew, felling two of them and driving the others Inside. The submarine sub­ merged, and as she was diving two bombs were dropped on her. .W ithin a few minutes the bow of the U-boat appeared-/on the surface and remained visible about four min­ utes. More bombs were dropped In this interval and it is believed the un­ dersea craft was either badly damag­ ed or destroyed. Ensign Carson’s machine, with two others, was on patrol when the sub­ m arine was sighted on the surface. WARM PATRIOTISM IS SHOWN BY UNITED CONFEDERATE VETS drawing designed to show Uncle Sam whUe Qn the Jxlghwy lmp0rtant S t carrying the United States tonnage u n -;Quentili sector ^ Prallce the Britieh der his left arm. The caption above and French armleB> after hard ijg]lt. Uncle Sam reads: “Can America re­ place England on seal” On the ship which Uncle Sam carries is printed tlits inscription: “Tllree million gross registry tons" and below that is an­ other inscription which says: “At the beginning of the war America had on­ ly a tonnage of three million gross reg-> istered tons.” Commenting on these statements, the poster further declares “America cannot increase her gross registered tons for 1918. by more than two to two and a half million tons. Our U-boats sink twice as quickly as England and America can build!” The answer of the publicity bureau to the two sections of the poster refer­ ring to tlie transportation of men and the building of ships follows: “At the moment the bulletin boartjp of Ger­ many scoffed the possibility of Amer­ ica sending a force to France, ther<s were already more than a million fight­ ing men overseas, and transports, walled about by the American navy de­ fying the cowardly submarines, were bearing every month hundreds of thousands more. Tlie gauge is set and the summer of 1919 will see 4,000,000 fighting American men in France. Nor will there be a lack of ships to trans­ port and sustain them. The Liberty Bond buyer Is fast giving to America .. merchant marine that will be the peer of any In the world? America launched In July alone 635,011 tons. Losses to allied and neutral shipping combined, from every cause, for the last six months, amounted to 2,089,393 tons. “The distance from New York to England, the Boche points out,” com­ ments tlie bureau of publicity publi­ cation, “is two hundred times greater than that from England to France,, from which he spells ‘Opportunity for the German U-boats.’ Pitiful is this boast in face of the fiicts. Instead of the U-boat being an unconquerable engine of war, as the Hun confidently expected, it lias become the slinking foe of fishing smacks and other iso­ lated craft. The vast army of Liberty Bond buyers, thirty millions strong, has built an unbroken bridge over tlie Atlantic ocean into the heart of the enemy’s strongholds. Across this bridge there are streaming our mil­ lions of figbtiag men, as good as the world has ever known, munitions and equipment that have been wrought by those back home, whose determination is that the American fighting man shall lack nothing that he needs.” As a back-handed slap at the French, the German propagandists have repro­ duced a French poster which pleads with French people to eat less In or­ der that the United States may send over more man power. The French post,er pointed out that if every per­ son In France would save a hundred grams of food a day that the American reinforcements could be increased a division a month. The French catch- line on this poster was “Does France want wheat or men?” and the German poster remarks “Also the allies are now'beginning to have their doubts!" In a further effort to convince the German people that it will he impos­ sible for the United States to trans­ port troops .to France, the German section of the. poster says that ten tons of freight space are required for every soldier In crossing the Water. The" truth is that a soldier requires less than one-lialf this amount of space. Summing up all the falsehoods which the German poster contains, the book­ let says: “The W ar Lord of Ger­ many may have the futile hope that ^ his people will devour in the place of food, such statements as the forego­ ing. Falsehoods, however, are poor substitutes and are likely to aggra­ vate rather than appease when the de­ luded people of Germany lenrri that every requirement of the American soldier will be met by bis patriotic and unqualified support back home. If a single soldier required ten tons of freight space, it would be given him But the truth is he requires less than one-half of that. “As for Germany’s statement that even if the United States built from two and a half million gross regis­ tered tons in 1918, it would not mean deliverance for the allies, no further comment is needed than that by July of this year. the 2,000,000-ton mark has been passed. If further refu- tat'on of the Hun boast of his U-boat prowess were needed, it might be staled tli'at less than 500 American solders have lost their lives in the present war as a result of U-boat at­ tacks.” Closing tlie booklet is this striking quotation from Secretary McAdoo: “The Fourth Liberty loan is the bar­ rage which-will precede the victorious thrust of our arm(y."

The veterans are no longer living over their own battles of more tttahn half a * century ago, but hare made the progress of the allied troops^ on the western battle front a subject of conversation and. discourse that has almost put into second place the fi^it- 1-3 which they themselves partici­ pated. A pledge ot support was sent to President Wilson in the following resolution: “The United Confederate Veterans Association, in convention assembled, desires to go on record before the world with reference to the great world war our country now is engaged In, as heart and soul back of the W ashington administration and 100 per cent loyal to the colors. There­ fore, be it resolved, we hereby pledge our best and continuous efforts in up holding the hands of our great Presi dent in hls faithful execution- of the most gigantic trust ever placed upon the. heart and brain of a human b&- Ing.” _________ CAMP LEE HAS MORE THAN 2,000 CASES INFLUENZA Richmond.

DISPATCHES FROM RALEIGH Doings and Happenings That Mark the Progress of North Carolina Peo­ ple, Gathered Around the State Capital. Raleigh. North Carolina again has the privi­ lege of being thankful for South Car­ olina and, this time, Georgia and Ala­ bama may be added to the lot for good measure; for they are the three States in the entire Union having a lower percentage of rejections for physical defects of registrants who have been passed by the local boards and sent to camps. The national average of re­ jections at camp is 5.83, while the ^ North Carolina average isabout 12 per cent. The Provost Marshal General, call- ig attention to the Adjutant General’s department, to the high ratio of re­ jections from this State, makes it very Plain that a remedy is in order. The entrainment of physically un­ fit men is not only a needless expense to the government but is highly derog­ atory to the record of the State in the administration of the selective service law, it is pointed out. The money saved, the government in the free service of registrants is nullified by the expense incurred in. the trans­ portation and subsistence of disquali­fied men. Quarantine oLGtate College. T he. North Carolina State College of Agriculture and Engineering, for the present one unit of the government for training the student’s army corps, opened with a quarantine ordered by Major Hulvey. Seven hundred young men, whose average age is nineteen, are getting their first real taste of m ilitary life by an order that will keep them on the college campus for prob­ ably three weeks, the enforcement of which is assured by the presence of a detail of. twenty men from the Tank Camp. The college authorities expect at least eight hundred men when all that have registered and all that can be admitted have arrived. More than three thbusand boys have applied for entrance and the dormitories are over­ flowing. Illuminating and Inspiring. The Million Dollar Campaign for the Baptist educational institutions of the State gathered considerable momen­ tum at the special conference held in Raleigh. More than a hundred lead­ ing pastors, laymen and ladies from every section of the State considered- the best ways and means of putting the campaign across before the meet­ ing of the Baptist State Convention in Greensboro December 3. Judge Stephensom brought out the fact that there are about 400,000 Bap­ tist adherents in the State, or one- sixth of the population. By January I, 1919, the people of North Carolina will have subscribed to the government loans $120,000,000. He argued that if the Baptists iad bought their share they would have $20,000,000 invested in them. Now If they would give only one-twentieth of their investments in these securities to the miUioa-dollar campaign the job would be consisted. The address of Dr. Luther Little, of Charlotte, on "The Place of the Chris­ tian Scho in the Coming W orld Re­ construction” was illuminating and inspiring, showing how essential these schools will be in preserving our ideals of democracy and religion after the war. He declared that W ake Forest College had made good as a preacher factory, sending out such men as Drs. John E. White, Len G. Broughton, A. C. Dixon and others. It has also proved its right to live by sending out such statesm en as Hons. Yates Webb, Claude Kitchen, F, M. Simmons, T. W. Rickett and others, 'Reopen Recruiting Offices. Men who want to be among the “first to fight” and are anxious for active service at the quickest possible moment, will be given their .opportu­ nity October. I, .when the Marine re­ cruiting offices will be re-opened after being closed since August 8. The offices at Richmond, Asheville, Charleston; Winston-Salem, Hunting­ don, Norfolk,' Roaimoke and Charlotte, have a long waiting list of young men anxious to be inducted into the service at once. These young men will all be sent on to the various designated re­ cruiting camps. Marine iecruiting took- a decided upward trend following the big drive of the Americans at Chateau-Thierry, which was really the starting point of the whole present allied drive, and recruiting officers expect to have their quota of men for the Marine's before any other branch of service is filled.

Fifty-six represen­ tatives of the college attended the second camp. ’ Fifty-three were at the Plattsburg barracks from June I to July I and won high honors there, but there were no commissions issued at that camp.

BULGARIANS ARE IN FLIGHT To Build Masonic Temple. The committee named recently to solicit money from Masons in North Carolina cities for the purpose of con- Btructing a Masonic building at Camp Greene for th.e benefit of the soldiers began operations as soon as word was received from W. S. Creighton, from W ashington, where he went as a rep­ resentative of the Masonic lodges of the state to inquire whether or not Camp Greene was to be a permanent military station. He was advised by the war department that Camp Greene was to be a permanent camp. Requisitions Honored. Governor Eickett honored two requi­ sitions recently. One is from the gov­ ernor of Indiana for Kenneth Ham, Floyd Pyles and Fred Stairs, being held in Kinston to await the arrival of Indiana officers to take them back to that state to answer the charge of breaking into a hardware store and stealing a quantity of goods and then fleeing the state in three stolen au­ tomobiles.

Franco-Britjsh Forces Closing Down on SL Quentin Despite Strong Re­ sistance—Americans Shelling Metz—Austria’s Peace Sug­ gestion Promptly Re­ jected. By EDWARD W. PICKARD. With a regenerated and reorganized army, Sgrbia took the lead last week in smashing the Hun and Iiis allies. Aided by French and Greek contin­ gents, the liard-fighting Serbians struck at the Saloniki front held by the Bul­ garians and certain German units. They struck hard, too, and within three days had advanced 12 miles on a 20- mile front, taking 50 towns, including the strongest, of the enemy positions. At first the resistance was stubborn, but by Thursday the Bulgarians were reported in full retrent and the Ser­ bians pursuing them day and night The enemy threw In fresh divisions, but in vain, for they too were com­ pletely defeated. So swift were the flight and the pursuit that the Serbians had not had time to count the great number of prisoners taken or to esti­ mate the quantities of m aterial that fell into their hands. \ ~ This Serbian advance by the end of the week was seriously menacing the city of Prilip, one of the chief bases of the central powers In Macedonia. It is not beyond the bounds of possibil­ ity that it may later be connected up with the operations of the allies In Al­ bania, of which little has been heard lately. A good many authorities long have held the opinion that the war ^nn' be brought to a successful end soonest by a great offensive in the Balkan re­ gion, cutting off Turkey and Bulgaria from their allies and threatening Aus­ tria from the south. —Ra— W ith th e ' Franco-British pincers slowly but surely closing down on St. Quentin, the French and Americans in possession of the western end of the Chemin-des-Dames and steadily pushing toward Laon and the Yankees firmly established on their new lines in Lorraine, shelling Metz and threat­ ening the great iron and coal fields of the Brley basin, the German high com­ mand last week was still clinging to the Hindenbnrg line through most of its length. The Huns had massed vast numbers of long-range guns and were resisting desperately, but their increas­ ing dearth of man power was becom­ ing more evident daily, and the pris­ oners taken, though' well fed and clothed, were despondent and tired. - A fter: several days of preparatory operations Field Marshal Haig on Wed­ nesday attacked on a 16-miie front northwest of St. Quentin, from Gou- zeaucourt south of Holnon Wood. Be­ fore nightfall the British had smashed ahead to a. depth of three miles, taking Pelz’iere, La Verguiere1 Epehy, Rons- soy, ViUeret and other towns and bag­ ging more than 6,000 prisoners. The primary object of the drive, which was made in a hard rainstorm, was to gain possession of the old British trench system of last March, running along an important ridge. Many of the best fighting units In the German army were opposed to Haig’s men, blit the latter at­ tained their object In the main and at some points went further than had been expected. The artillery work of the Germans, especiaUy with high ve­ locity guns massed behind the SL Quentin canal, was more severe than for a long time before. —t a — Simultaneously with Haig’s attack, the French hit the Bdches on a ten- mile front south of St. Quentin, advanc- *“5. more than a mile and taking four villages and hundreds of prisoners. Military, critics. express no doubt of the ultimate fan of St. Quentin, but the enemy is sure to put up a long, hard fight before he evncuates that keystone position. — Pa— - Stubbornly hanging on to the west end of the Chemin-des-Dames and im­ proving their positions there, the French repulsed many fierce attacks last week and advanced toward. Laon along the southern edge of the SL Gobain forest. The entire plateau southwest of Laon. Ss under the fire of their artillery, and though they were moving forward with due caution, they showed no Intentions of stopping. —Ra— On the new American front In French Lorraine the infantry activity during the week was confined mostly to operations for the solidifying of po­ sitions, though the Yankees did push forward along the Meuse for a con­ siderable gain. This brought Metz un­ der the fire of tlieir artillery and tlie bombardment of that great fortress city began at once and vigorously. It seems that the allies are now in a po­ sition to keep up the shelling, of Metz during the fall and winter, if neces­ sary, and-thus its reduction, virtually impossible by direct attack, may be accomplished. The Germans now ad­ mit the importance of the American drive on the SL Mlhlel salient, but the deception of their people through the official reports continues, as exempli­ fied by the statement, one day last week, that American attacks on Hau- ntonl had been repulsed and the Yan­ kees also had been beaten at Thiau- mont.' At that time Haumont had been safely held by the Americans for three days and Thiaumont was already five miles behind Pershing’s lines. Fresnes, an important city, also was taken by the Yankees last week, and the line built by them now runs parallel with the Hindenburg line a t an average dis­ tance of a mile and a half. Every day the German artillery has been deluging the old salient with explosive and gas shells, and the American gunners have replied most "effectively, battering the towns held by the Huns and several times breaking up attem pted-infantry attacks, with severe loss to the enemy. The airmen on both sides were extra­ ordinarily active and the Americans carried out a number of highly suc­ cessful bombing expeditions over en­ emy territory. In one of these, how­ ever, a superior force was encountered and five of our planes were IosL Inci­ dentally, the British reported that in the St. Quentin sector the Germans were using a new type of plane that carries eight men and bombs 18 feet long and -weighing 2,000 pounds. ’. —Ra— AU along the west front the 'a ir fighting was most intense. In one day the British brought down 66 enemy planes and lost 10, which indicates the fierceness of the struggle for the mas­ tery of the air. The independent Brit­ ish air squadrons kept up their fine work in the bombing of German cities, notably Mannheim, Metz-Sablons, Treves and Frankfort. This brings howls from the, Huns which are music to the allied ear. —f c — The bolshevik forces In Russia, for which some victories were claimed early in the week, later were reported to be retreating on both the northern and southern fronts. The Czecho­ slovaks along the *Volga continued their advance, and the fact that they captured Perm, capital of the govern­ ment of that name, indicated they were in a fair way to effect the junction of the forces which are fighting In west­ ern Sibera with those which have been engaged in southeastern Russia. As was predicted, the Japanese censors do not permit much news to come from the alUed expedition In Siberia, but what does come is satisfactory. In Russia the reign of terror insti­ tuted by the bolshevikl to suppress the counter revolution continues and un­ known numbers of the opponents of Lenine and Trotzky have been mas­ sacred. The American government Iast week issued a series of articles expos­ ing those two precious rascals as the paid agents o f. Germany, giving the text of many secret documents ob­ tained by an agent of the committee on public information. AU this made intensely interesting reading, but "no one In AmeriVa except a few highbrow “intellectuals’’ is surprised by the facts revealed, and there doesn’t seem any way to get those facts before the Rus­ sian people whom Lenlne and Trotzky and their crew have tricked and be­trayed. AU the allied ministers who former­ ly were at Jassy, Roumania, including Charles. Yopicka of America, have been arrested In Petrograd, according to a report reaching The Hague. —Pu— Austria’s suggestion of a “nonblnd- lng” conference of all the beUtgerents to make clear their war aims and peace demands met with the promptest kind of rejection by the aUies, President Wilson taking the lead in refusing to consider the idea. In two sentences he replied that America’s term s had been repeatedly and clearly stated and therefore no proposal for such a .con­ ference would be entertained by IL In this Mr. Wilson was heartily supported by the entire nation, and his position was also thoroughly approved by the allies of the United States. Austria’s suggestion, made with the consent of- Berlin, admittedly was merely a “peace flyer,” and there was Uttle ex­ pectation in Hunland that it would re­ ceive favorable consideration. No better reception was accorded the German offer of peace to Belgium. With unblushing effrontery BerUn asked the nation the Huns have rav­ ished to drop out of the conflict, not even suggesting that they would make reparation for the horrible crimes they have committed there, and making the insidious proposal that the “Flemish question” should be considered and the Flemish minority that I aided the Ger­ man invaders should not be penalized. Belgium, of course, said “No” to aU this claptrap. —!Ra— The political situation in Hungary is becoming extremely critical and the opposition to the government is grow­ ing bolder.. Its leader. Count Karolyi, Is quoted In dispatches as declaring that the central powers should accept President Wilson’s 14 peace points a s a basis for negotiations and that the treaties of Brest-Lltovsk and Bucha­ rest should be abrogated. The pope seems to have scented chances of peace once again, for it was stated at the Vatican that if a diplomatic repre­ sentation should be received by him from one of the parties, he would ask the other party if it desired to re­ ceive sugh a representation. —In ­ substantial support for President W ilson's peace plans was received from the labor conference of the aUied nations In London when the interna­ tional relations committee recommend­ ed that the conference subscribe to the 14 points formulated by Wilson, “thus adopting a poUcy of clearness and moderation as opposed to a. poUcy dic­ tated exclusively by changes on the .war map.” - R a - / According to figures received up to date, the total registration of the coun­ try uhder the new draft law was at least 12,800,000,. or 100,000 above the estimated total. Of Hiese the govern­ ment proposes to call to the colors 2,700,000, to be adfed to the 3,200,000 men already under: irms. It is planned to have SO division 3 in France before next summer, and Jo finance so great an undertaking th e w ir department has asked congresn to provide it im­ mediately with an additional $7,000,- 000,000 in cash. Gi anting this, the ad­ ministration and congress has the choice of increasing the amount of taxes provided by the revenue bill from $8,000,000,000 to $10,000,000,000, or raising all the additional $7,000,000,- 000 from the sale of bonds and aban­ doning the plan of raising one-third of the cost of the w ar by taxation. The various features of the revenue bill were swiftly approved by the house of representatives, one after another. Representative Moore of Pennsylvania proposed a tax of $3 a bale on cotton, but the Southern mem­ bers ros^ In a body to the defense of the main crop of their part of the country. —I* — That there is no abatement In the stream of American soldiers being sent over to France is shown by the state­ ment that 313,000 embarked for Eu­ rope last month. Of these, 180,000 were carried on British ships. One big success by the U-boats—from the view­ point of the chivalrous Hun—was re­ ported Inst week. The British steamer. Galway Castle, carrying disabled sol­ diers returning to "South Africa and* many women and Children, was tor­ pedoed. One hundred and eighty-nine persons were" lo st of T hom 120 were civilian passengers. MOTHER SAVES SOLDIER HERO H ep L ove, M ore T han the Wort of S urgeons, Aids in Recovery. WITHOUT A PARAHE1 Chance and Bravery of Wounded n* cer, W ho W as Treated Ss Privata Won Him Place Close to ' Relative. Boston.—Lieut. Everett Pope, one of H arvard’s most famous onrsi- • convalescent in a French hospiim at ter one of the most remarkable recov eries recorded In these days wh m armv surgeons and nurses are Workinp miracles every day. Lieutenant Pont was severely wounded during the fight ing around Chateau-Thierry and f0t days his life was despaired of Then it was found that the hospital in which he w as being treated was in the same town where his mother was employed in an officers’ rest station. She was summoned, and from the moment his lips whispered the w(ord “mother” and his eyes beheld his relative, Lieuten­ ant Pope’s recovery was assured. Lieutenant Pope was one of the grad- uates of the first class at Plattsbtirg N. Y., and early was on French soil tak­ ing final training with the Americnn troops. W hen the memorable offensive a t Chateau-Thierry was started, Pope went forward with a regiment of infan­ try. Fighting like a wild man for hours, he was finally knocked out by machine gun fire. His shoulders were shattered. In the terrific fight he had lost his belt, coat, and other insignia of rank and was carried along back w ith the privates. Took His Chances as a Private. Back Pope went, through the first dressing station, to .the field hospital I m Fighting Like a Wild Man. and then to Paris, finally landing in a base hospital some distance south of Paris. Though suffering terribly and in danger of gas gangrene, he refused to avail himself of the rights of an officer, but took his place without it m urmur among the privates, awaiting his turn a t the depots, ambulance cen­ ters and hospital trains. He collapsed ■after being operated upon, but when told the name of the town in which he was In the hospital, his eyes brightened and he whispered “mother.” When Pope sailed across the sea his mother became lonesome in her home In Brookline, Mass., and went to France. She found a place in h nobl6 home th at had been set apart as an officers’ rest station. H er last letter to Lieutenant Pope was from the same town in which her wounded son was In a hospital. She was found and her love and attention, combined with the SkUl of surgeons and nurses, assured her son’s complete recovery. ‘TER R IB LE TW ELVE’ NO MORE Prosaic Policeman Puts End to Youth­ ful Band of Desperadoes in Cleveland. Cleveland, 0.—Diamond Dick and Three-Fingered H arry were the idols of Gie “Terrible Twelve” as they sat about the fire in their den and told thrilling tales of the deeds they per­ petrated In the old cemetery at mid­ night and of the fear they instilled in the hearts of their victims as they pounced upon them in the' dark. Bi a half circle the 12 bloodthirsty VlUains sat before their leader, seated on a soap box throne. They were des­ perate, and looked it with all their age- worn faces. For the leader was all of thirteen years old, and the others ranged down to eight years. Sudden­ ly the leader rose and pointed at four qf the undeserving. “You are. not fit members of this terrible band. Go out and prove that you- are bad enough to uphold the honor of our gang.” The undeserving slunk out and that night made a raid on a nearby house, where they secured a watch and sev­ eral riings. • Then a prosaic cop arrested several of the desperado band, and the “Ter* ribie Twelve” is no more.

EMPEY AND H IS COM RADES MAKE TH EIR MACHINE GUNS PERFORM SOM E MARVELOUS TRICKS. Synopsis.—Fired by the sinking of the Lusitania, with the loss of American lives, A rthur Guy Empey, an American Uving in Jersey City, goes to England and enlists as a private in the British army. After a short experience as a recruiting officer In London, he is sent to train­ ing quarters In France, where he first hears the sound of big guns and makes the acquaintance of “cooties.” A fteria brief period of training Empey’s company is sent into the front-line tr'enches, where he takes bis first turn on the fire step while the bullets whiz overhead. Empey learns, as comrade falls, that death lurks always in the trenches. Chaplain distinguishes himself by rescuing wounded men under hot fire. W ith pick and shovel Empey has experience as a trench digger in No Man’s Land. Exciting experience on listening post detail. Ex­ citing work on observation post duty. Back in rest billets Empey writes and stages a successful play. Once more in the front trenches, Empey goes “over the top” in a successful but costly attack on the German lines. CHAPTER X X H -Continued. —18— This punishment is awarded where there is a doubt a s to the willful guilt Df a man who has committed an of­ fence punishable by death. Then eomes the famous -field pun­ ishment No. I. Tommy has nicknamed it “crucifixion.” It means that a man is spread-eagled on a limber wheel, two hours a day for twenty-one days. During this tim e he only gets water, bully beef and biscuits for his chow. Xou get “crucified” for repeated minor offenses. Next In order is field punishment No. 2. This is confinement in the “ clink,” without blankets, getting water, bully beef and biscuits for rations and doing all the dirty work- that can be found. This may be for twenty-four hours or twenty days, according to Gie gravity of the offense. Then comes “pack drill” -or default­ ers’ parade. This Consists of drilling, mostly at the double, for two hours with full equipment. Tommy hates this, because it is hard work. Some­ times he fills Ws pack with straw to Ughte-i it, and sometimes he gets caught. If he gets caught, he grouses at everything in general fo r twenty- one days, from the vantage point of a limber wheel. Next comes “C. B.” meaning ‘!con­ fined to barracks.” This consists of staying in billets or barracks for twen­ ty-four hours to seven days. You also get an occasional defaulters’ parade and dirty jobs around the quarters. The sergeant m ajor keeps w hat is known as the crime sheet. W hen a man commits an offense, he is “crimed,” that is, his name, number and offense is entered on the crime IheeL Next day a t 9 a. m . he goes to the “orderly room” before the captain, irho either punishes him with ”0 .

To gain the title of a “sm art soldier,” Tommy has to keep clear of the crime IheeL and you have to be darned sm art to do it I have been on It a few times, most-. Iy for “Yankee impudence.” " ' During our stay of two weeks In rest billets our captain put us through a course of machine-gun drills, trying out new stunts and theories. After parades were over, our guns’ crews got together and also tried out some theories of their own in reference to handling guns. These courses had nothing to do with the advancement of the war, consisted mostly of causing tricky jams in the gun, and then the rest of the crew would endeavor to lo­ cate as quickly as possible the cause of the stoppage. This amused them for a few days and then things came to a standstill. One of the boys on my gun claimed that he could play a tune while the gun was actually firing, and demon­ strated this fact one day on the target range. We were very enthusiastic and decided to become musicians. After constant practice I became quite expert in the tune entitled “All Conductors Have Big Feet.” When I had m astered this tune, our two weeks’ rest came to an end, and once again we went up the line and took over the sector in front of G------ wood. At this point the German trenches ran around the base of a hill, on the top of which was' a dense wood. This wood was infested with machine guns, which used to traverse our lines a t will, and sweep the streets of a little village, where we were billeted while In reserve. There was one gun in particular, which used to get our goats, it had the exact range of our “elephant” dugout entrance, and every morning, about the time rations were being brought up, its bullets would knock up the dust on the road; more than one Tommy went West or to Blighty by running into them. This gun got our nerves; on edge, and Fritz seemed to know it,- because be never gave us an hour’s rest. Our reputation as machine gunners was at stake; we tried various ruses to locate and put this gun out of action, but MCh one proved to be a failure, and Fritz became a worse nuisance than ever. He was getting fresher and more careless every day, took all kinds of liberties with us—thought he was in­ vincible. Then one of our crew got a brilliant idea and we were all enthusiastic to put it to the test. Here was his scheme : When firing my gun, I was to play my tune, and Fritz, no doubt, would fall for it, try to im itate me as an added insulL This gunner and two others would try, by the sound, to lo­ cate Fritz and his gun. A fter having got the location, they would mount two machine guns in trees, in a little clump of woods to the left of our ceme­ tery, and while Fritz was in the middle of his lesson, would open up and trust to luck. By our calculations, it would take at' least a week to pull off the stunL If Fritz !Refused to swallow our bait, it would be impossible to locate his special gun, and that’s the one we were after, because they all sound alike, a slow pup-pup-pup. Our prestige was hanging by a thread. In the battalion we had to en­ dure all kinds of insults and fresh re­ m arks as to our ability in silencing Fritz. Even to the battalion that Ger­ man gun was a sore spot. Next day, Fritz opened up as usual, I let him fire away for a while and then butted in with my “pup-pup-pup- pup-pup-pup.” I kept this up quite a while, used two belts of ammunition. F ritz had stopped firing to listen. Then he started in; sure enough, he had fallen for our game, his gun was trying to im itate mine, buL a t first he made a horrible mess of that. tune. Again I butted in with a few bars and stopped. Then he tried to copy what I had played. He was a good sport all righL -because his bullets were going away over our heads, m ust have been firing into the air. I commenced to feel friendly toward him. This duet went on for five days. Fritz was a good pupil and learned to disguise the location of his machine gun and get his range. Some of the most commonly used stunts are as fol­ lows: A t night, when he mounts his gun over the top of his trench and wants to get the range of Fritz’s trench he adopts the method of what he terms 'getting the sparks." This consists of firing bursts from his gun until the bullets hit the German barbed wire. He can tell when they are cutting the wire, because a bullet when it hits a wire throws out a blue electric spark. Machine-gun fire is very damaging to wire and causes many a wiring party to go out at night when it is quiet to repair the damage. To disguise the flare of his gun at night when firing, Tommy uses what is called a flare protector. This is a stove­ pipe arrangement which fits over the barrel casing of the gun and screens the sparks from the right and left, but not from the front. So Tommy, always resourceful, adopts tins scheme: About three feet or. less in front of the gun he drives two stakes into the ground, abou1 five feet apart. Across these stakes he stretches a curtain made out of empty sandbags ripped open. He soaks this curtain in water and fires through it The water prevents it catching fire and effectively screens the flare of the firing gun from the enemy. Sound is a valuable asset in locating a machine gun, but Tommy surmounts this obstacle by placing two machine guns about one hundred to one hun­ dred and fifty yards a p art The gun on the right to cover with its fire the sector of the left gun and the gun on the left to cover that of the right gun. This makes their fire cross; they are fired simultaneously. By this method it sounds like one gun. firing and gives the Germans the impression that the gun is firing from a point midway between the guns which are actually firing, and they ac­ cordingly shell that particular spot, The machine gunners chuckle -and say, “Fritz is a brainy boy, not ’alf he ain’L” But the men in our lines at the spot being shelled curse Fritz for his igno ranee and pass a few pert remarks down the line in reference to the ma­ chine gunners being “windy” s»d afraid to take -their medicine. ✓ Showing How Fritz Is Fooled. rapidly, in fact, got better than his teacher. I commenced to feel jealous. W hen he had completely m astered the tune, he started sweeping the road again and we clicked it worse than ever. But he signed his death w arrant by doing so, because my friendship turned to hate. Every time he fired he played that tune and we danced. The boys in the battalion gave us the “H a I H a ! ' They weren’t In on our little frameup. The originator of the ruse and the other two gunners had Fritz’s location taped to the m inute; they mounted their two guns, and also gave me the range. The next afternoon was set for the grand finale. Our three guns, with different eleva­ tions, had their fire so arranged, that, opening up together, their bullets would suddenly drop on Fritz like a hailstorm. About three the next day, Fritz start­ ed “pup-pupping” that tune. I blew a sharp blast on a whistle, it was the sig­ nal agreed upon; we turned loose and Fritz’s gun suddenly stopped in the middle of a bar. We had cooked his goose, and our ruse had worked. After firing two belts each, to make sure of our job, we hurriedly dismounted our guns and torfk cover in the dugout. We knew what to expect soon. We didn’t have to w ait long, three salvos of “whizz-bangs” came over from Fritz s artillery, a further confirmation that we had sent that musical machine-gun­ ner on his Westward-bound journey. T hat gun never bothered us again. W e were the heroes of the battalion, our captain congratulated us, said it was a neat piece of work, and, conse­ quently, we were all puffed up over the ! s tThere are several ways Tommy uses 5br more than 200 years, Haarlem Oil, the famous national remedy of Holland, has been recognized as an infallible relief from all forms of kidney and bladder dis­ orders. Its very age is proof that it must nave unusual merit. . If you are troubled with pains or aches in the back, feel tired in the morning, headaches, indigestion, insomnia, painful or too frequent passage of urine, irritation or stone in the bladder, you will almost certainly find relief in GOLD MEDAL Haarlem Oil Capsules. This is the good old remedy that has stood the test for hundreds of years, prepared in the proper quantity and convenient form to take.’ It is imported direct from Holland lab­oratories, and you can get it at any drug store. It is a standard, old-time home remedy and needs no introduction. Each capsule contains one dose of five drops and is pleasant and easy to take. They will quickly relieve those stiffened ; oints, Hiati backache, rheumatism, Ium- >ago, sciatica, gall stones, gravel, “brick dust..” etc. Your money promptly refund­ed if they do not relieve you. But be sure to get the genuine GOLD MEDAL brand. In boxes, three sizes.—Adv. CHAPTER XXIII. Gas Attacks and Spies. Three -daysjifter w e had silenced Fritz, the Germans sent over gas. It did not catch -us unawares, because the wind had been made to -order, that is, it was blowing from the German trenches toward ours a t the rate of about five miles per hour. W arnings had been passed down the trench to keep -a sharp lookout for gas. We had a new man a t the periscope, on this afternoon Sn -question; I was sitting on the fire -step, -cleaning my rifle, when he called-out to m e: “There’s a sort -Sf greenish, yellow cloud rolling along the ground out In front, it’s coming—t* B ut I waited for no -more, grabble my bayonet, -which was detached from the rifle, I gave the alarm ;by banging an empty shell case, which was hang­ ing near the periscope. At the same instant, gongs started ringing down the trench, the signal for Tommy to don his respirator, or smoke helmet, as \v call IL Gas travels quickly, so you m ust not lose Ifty tim e; you generally have about eighteen or twenty seconds ir which to adjust your gas helmet. Empey is assigned to the intelligence department, but finds it is not -the “soft” snap that he anticipated. The next installment tells of some of his experiences in his new job as a spy-catcher. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Aets of Heroism Recognized. Twenty-four acts of heroism were recognized by the Carnegie hero-fund commission in its fourteenth annual meeting. In seven -cases silver medal: were awarded, in 17 cases, bronze medals. Ten of the heroes, lost their lives, and to the dependents of nine of these ’ pensions aggregating $4,560 a year were granted. In addition tc these money grants, In two cases, $2, 1 0 0 was appropriated for educational purposes, payments to be made a; needed and approved, and in 1 1 case; awards aggregating $8 ,0 0 0 were made for other worthy purposes. Pay­ ments in these cases will not be made until the awards have been approved by the commission. Cornmeal in Honduras.

TrulyI No humbug I Best to Get That Kind Which Has Been Grown Continuously In the Locality for Some Time—Early Seeding Is Favored. (Prepared by the United States Depart­ ment of Agriculture.) Many bushels can be added to the 1919 Liberty wheat harvest, and farm­ ers can reap added profits from In­ creased yields with no more than the usual labor or expense if the variety of seed sown this fall is pure and is well adapted to the locality. The seed should be free from noxious weed seeds and not infested by destructive plant diseases. It should be clean, plump and heavy. K there is doubt about what variety produces the best yields in a given locality the grower should consult his county agent, state agricultural college, or write to the United States department of argicul- ture, Washington. Use Home-Grown Seed. Home-grown wheat should be used for seed, wherever possible. The best seed to get Is that of an adapted vari­ ety which has been grown continuous­ ly in the locality for some time, pro­ vided it is pure. The idea that varie­ ties “run out” if grown long in one section is only an expression for the fact that they are allowed to “become mixed and weedy and disease-infected. Changing the kind of wheat grown should be done only for the purpose of getting a proved better variety. It is often desirable to do this, provided It is demonstrated beyond question that the new variety is better for that locality. So-called “new” varieties, extrava­ gantly advertised at fancy prices, should he disregarded completely. The varieties, recommended by the state experiment stations or other authori­ ties for the several districts within a state or region are the ones which should "oe grown. In Kansas, for ex­ ample, the Kanred, an improved strain of Crimean wheat, is comomnly grown In place of the Turkey and Kharkov.

Poorer varieties ere being displaced rapidly. See Seed In Field. The best way to be sure that the seed wheat is free from mixture with other varieties and also from weeds r.nd dlsenses is to inspect the growing field.

Give them plenty of wholesome food at nil times. Provide dry quarters which are well ventilated. Give them an opportunity to exercise. And give them closest attention at lambing time. Occasional inspection and regular dipping is also essential to insure freedom from llee, ticks and skin diseases. Good pastures are required during the summer months which is of spe­ cial importance during late summer and fall when the lambs need to be put In shape for market and the rest of the flock kept in the best of condi­ tion for breeding. At this season of the year the regular pastures usually afford but little feed and that of In­ ferior quality. For this reason many successful growers plant some forage Ci1OP for this purpose. If sown alone in early May and cultivated, feed should be afforded by Jlie latter part of July, while, If seeded in corn from July I to 15, should provide October and later fall feeding as long as need­ ed, much of the growth being made' after the corn Is cut. One acre of the crop grown nlone, or two acres with corn, is usually sufficient to fatten from 30 to 40 lambs if allowed the run of other fields.

At this time extra attention must be given •to the ewes and lambs and in no other way can time be used to better advan­ tage on the farm. A Seed Plat From Which Best Yield­ ing Varieties Can Be Obtained. or otherwise of good quality he should inspect fields of adapted varieties grown by some of his neighbors and arrange to obtain seed from them after threshing. In many instances he can arrange to have special care given to this field at threshing time In order to prevent mixture. Such care is espe­ cially desirable this • year, when the supply of seed wheat retained on the farms probably is smaller than ever before. Seeding with a di;IU always is advis­ able. In general, early seeding gives better results than late seeding.

(Prepared by the United States Depart­ ment of Agriculture.) Women and children on farms can. make good wages early this fall by gathering and curing sumac as a side line. To assist in firmly establishing the industry of gathering this wild plant—a source of tannin used in tan­ ning and dyeing—the department of agriculture Is soon to publish in a bul­ letin helpful suggestions to gatherers and dealers. It is believed that the possibilities of the sumac industry have not 'been realized and that the war's interruption of Sicilian Importa­ tions makes the present an opportune time to place the industry on a IJrmer footing. The sumac plant Is chiefly abundant east of the Mississippi river from Maine to central Georgia and Mississippi. Domestic sumac as now prepared for market contains less tannin and is much inferior in color to the Imported Sicilian sumacJ When properly gath­ ered and cured, domestic sumac leaf contains from 25 to 30 per cent of tan­ nin, practically as much as the Sicilian variety. Gatherers In this country In recent years have received a low price for sumac—from 80 cents to $1 .1 0 (per hundred pounds. Carefully gathered and properly cured Sicilian suiriac leaf sells In this country at from $1.50 to $4 a hundred pounds. Proper methods of gathering, curing and handling sumac are explained In ; the bulletin. The common domestic I varieties of sumac are described, so J that they may be readily recognized j and data on the comparative tannin !content arfe given, together with othei I practical information on the subject: A laxative today saves a sick child tomorrow. Children simply will not’ take the time from play to empty their bowels, which become clogged up with waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach sour. ' • Looa a t the tongue, mother! If coated, or your child is listless, cross, feverish, breath bad, restless, doesn’t ent heartily, full of cold or has sore throat or any other children’s ail­ ment, give a teaspoonful of “Cali­ fornia Syrup of Figs,” then don’t worry, because it is perfectly harm­ less, and In a few hours all this con­ stipation poison, sour bile and fer­ menting waste will gently move out of the bowels, and you have a well, play­ ful child again. A thorough “inside cleansing” is oftimes all that is neces­ sary. It should be the first treatment given in any sickness. Beware of counterfeit fig syrups. Ask your druggist for a bottle of “Cal­ ifornia Syrup of Pigs,” which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly printed on the bottle. Look carefully and see that It is made by the "Cali­ fornia Fig Syrup Company.”—Adv. Doing Their Bit.

A. Roberts, -who has been awarded three STench w ar medals for bravery In the fighting zones, is enjoying a well-earned rest, and is.talking freely of almost anything but why the Fraich government showered honors upon him. Mr. Roberts, a Y- M. C. A. worker In France, had bestowed upon him the Croix de Guerre, the badge of the Legion of Honor, and the Medal Mili- taire. He won them all in three months. Roberts was assistant auditor of the Michigan Central railroad before he was selected to be auditor of disburse­ ments for the Y. M. C. A. in France, and to handle more than a quarter of a million dollars a day. He left for overseas service February 12, was wounded by a Hun ifiachine gun at Soissons, rescued a "Y” secretary amid a hail of bullets in the Toul sector and was touched up by German m arks­ manship again at Chateau Thierry.

NEEDS MEN IN SOUTHERN CAMPS While Red Triangle Continues to Call for Overseas Workers, 1,000 Are Wanted for Huko Service Atlanta, Ga , August 25.—Men en­ dowed with the element of leadership are peeded by the Army and Navy Y. Mi C. A. to serve in the camps of the Southeast. Dr. W. W. Alexander, general re­ cruiting secretary for the ,W ar Per­ sonnel Board o f the Y. 'M. C. A W ar W orf Council, declares that there is a pressing need for home, service, and that this affords a splendid opportun­ ity to the m an of middle age who is not dble to go abroad under the Red Triangle. “The Y. M. C. ' A. needs men for overseas service, of course, but the home camps m ust not be forgotten,” explained Dr. Alexander. “From now on until- the first of the year the Southeast m ust recruit 1,000 men for the home camps.' This means that each state will be called upon to fur- nlBh 25 men per month per- state to serve the soldiers In camps such as Gordon, Jackson, W heeler and the others. The constant growth of the home cantonments and the growing demand for the Y. M. C. A. work makes it necessary to recruit “Y** workers for this side.” MlLLlONSOFSOLDfERS SWARM YJLC.A.HIITS Annual Report of Southeastern De­ partment Reveals 38,866,980 Boye In Camps Crowded.

It was a stroke of party management, therefore, tor the Democrats to assert that ‘ the tariff ha9 been eliminated from politics.” Of course, it has not been eliminated, ai.d never will be. After the war the tariff will be a bigger factor in politics than before. There is a tariff commission,1 with duties more or less important and well defined. But the tariff ha9 not been committed to it, nor) the power of congress over taxation * in the slightest- degree changed or weakened. If protection as a straight policy is>fo be revived, or a tariff still lower than the Under­ wood tariff established, it must cunie through Congress, and not through the tariff commission.

OCTOBER 9, 1918.NUMBER 13 The Angelos Bells. We are giving our readers some helpful ioformatiop oo a . very practical subject. The Angelus beli# riagiog for the hour of pray. er straek the writer as a beautiful ami proper thing to do, and hav. ins behind it the endorsement ol the Governor, who is a man of ex eeeiiifik common sense, we were t]i=p ised to give the movement Leasfvendorsement. Butf a little iureitsgation into the oiigin of the bell-. reveals the cunning hand of goaie back of it all. Furthermore' pl6v. G. A. G. Thomas very clear Iy shows that the state is not au­ thorized to appoint for the Chris­ tian his “blessed hour of prayeii” that matter is left to the conscience of the individual. Even the mas­ ter did not name the minute in the day when we should make our supplication but said to His dim­ ples “ when ye pray,” do nct^copy the hypocrites who love to pray siauding on street corners. The pope has not shown himself’partic ularly loyal to our cause. His peace proposal, which he waB not authorized to make, was a German rather than an allied peace. It would have given William all he wanted, and President Wilsou was quick to see and repudiate the suggestion of his holiness. Io tnis litue of stram and stress it is easy for the unthinking to fall into pits dug by the shrewdest schemers in the world’ and who are ever vigi Iant for the promotion of their own particular interests when every body else is absorbed with the one great thought and purpose of de. stroying the military power of Ger­ many. It is precisely at this point that the sharp old politician of’the Vatican will bear, the closest watch­ ing. The Angelus bells have a musical and innocent sound, but as the Presbyterian Staodard says, it is the nose of the camel protrud­ ing into the Protestant tent. It is a rather safe rule to watch the di­ rection the pope is pointing aad then go in the opposite direction. The other view of the situation, is equally important, namely, that the state has no business whatev­ er eutering into the spiritual’realm. Tbeie has been far too much ot that already. Too many churches have turned themselves into re­ cruiting stations for our army, and Iuo many pastors have been trans formed from ambassadors qf peace into evaugels ot war. There will be a large part for the churches "to play in the great re adjustments after the war, and the closer they stick to the Book, the more power Iul they will be in the reorgauiza tion of society land the bringing' of order out of chaos occasioned by the long years of strife and of bloodshed.—Charity and Children.

AU of a sudden Asheville has found herself the center of’govern mental hospital activities on an immense scale. Kenilworth Inn, architecturally one of the most im !posing structures in the wbole country, was taken over by the government in an incompleted state for use .as a hospital . The. Iinild ing has been entirely finished and the grounds around it are 'being laid out by' landscape architects .with lavish expenditure on the na Iural opportunities. There are al­ ready 500 patients in this hospitals many of whom have been brought home from France—some blinded many suffering from the effects of gassing, a few crippled and others in various stages of ■ convales’cense. The soldiers of no country have ever been surrounded by more- comforts or have been given better treatment* than the United States government has provided for these soldiers at Kenilworth. They are receiving the best that mouey cau provide; their home is a palace and tbeir playgrounds are as enchanted gardeus,-framed by the most mag­ nificent mountain scenery in the world, Adjoining is the National hospital at Azalea, with buildings aud equipments designed after the most advanced ideas in hospital construction—buildings systemati­ cally located ami spregd over a gteatarea. Waynesvilleis anoth­ er hospital center in the Asheville zoue aud about 400 soldiers are be­ ing cared for in that place. A fourth hospital is Oeing equipped at Hot Springs. The establish ment of ti esa great convalescent camps In the vicinity Of Asheviile has imposed a burden of much responsibility upon the people of that city.’ A shas been said, the soldiers are surrounded by all the comforts money can buy, but there are many'-of the smaller things it- is not within the province of Ihe government to Iopk after. While the comfort aud health of the sol diers is the especial charge of the government, provision for. the lighter .pleasures of the convales cents is a duty that has been, as suuied by the North Carolina State Baiacaassociation whose headquar­ ters at Asheville, is in charge of the general secretary, Mrs. N Buckner.

They invite the people to seud contributions of the character mentioned to the Ashe­ ville headquarters from which they will have proper distribution. The pleasures of the invalid sol diers may lie considerably enhan ced through donations of tennis rackets and balls. T e secretery makes call for 12 sets of each, but we suppose all sent might be uti­ lized. Victrola records “ of the cheerful and glad sort ara wanted. There is a call for 150 scrap books, containing post cards, - clippings, pictures, songs and poems. Small droi lamps for “cosy corners” are needed.’ Small pillows and cnsh ions are needed in abundance. Table runners’ and -four foot win Tfow curtains, large grass rngs and easy rockers are other articles nientioued by Mrs. Buckner, and for purposes of room ornanienta tion growing palms and ferns will be welcomed. We should think that portion of the eoutract for making our invalid soldiers happy assigned to the Baracas will be handsomely carried out. The gov­ ernment itself allows these soldiers to want for nothing s > Ihr as its respousibiiiUrs go. but the women cm do much the government might not think of doing make their sur­ roundings more homelike.

I suffered from continual headache,' was unable to digest my food, which seemed to lay as a dead weight on my stomach. I was very constipated and my complex­ ion became dark, yellow and muddy as I felt. ' Sleeplessness was ad>h*d to my misery, and I would awake as tired when I went to sleep.

Theveryfirst saving *was $465 OO per month in operating expenses amounting to $5,580.00 per year, not counting the loss of bad accounts. We wrote every one of our customers telling them that we had firmly de­ cided to make this change and promising them to sell them their clothing and hats fos less money, and we have lived up to that promise and we are '-selling more clothing than we ever sold in the history of our business. We buy for spot cash and sell for spot cash, and take' the cash and turn it over often, keeping it invested in good, honest merchandise instead of slow book ^ accounts. This one change alone enabied us to rfuy our large winter stock which we now have on hand, amounting to over $50,000 00.

Mr Boger lost a barn of tobacco by fire the past week. MocksviIle Furniture Factory Burns. The main plant of the Mocksville Furniture Co,, together with many thousands of feet of lumber, was totally destroyed by fire shortly- af­ ter midnight Friday. • The fire was discovered by the night watchman_ at 12:30 o'clock in the boiler room roof, but it gained such headway that the entire building was soon in flames. A big crowd of people gath­ ered on the pcene, and the heroic work of the men, assisted by many of the ladies of the town, saved the finishing rooms and much lumber. The water supply was short and the ladies and men carried water from various wells in the neighbor­ hood. The night was still, which saved other property. There- was about $10,000 insurance on the prop- perty. and the loss will be about 550,000. Thiswas Mocksville’s ofc dest factory, and about fifty men and girls are thrown out of employ­ ment. There were many stockhold­ ers, among them being J. B. John­ stone, E. L. Gaither, J. F. Hanes Dr. R. P. Anderson, Willie Smith and others. The town has sustained a big loss as well as the stockholders. it is not known at this time wheth­ er the factory will be rebuilt or not. A meeting of the stockholders will be held at which time the matter will be decided, yfe are all hoping that the fuctory will be rebuilt, for if it is not. a number of our best citizens will have to leave Mocks ville and seek employment elsewhere “ IV.

It is believed that the President will give it a quick and decisive answer. Leaders of Congress are unwilling to negotiate with Germany for peace. Here and there a membpr of the house or senate who hesitated about entering the tight against German au­ tocracy thinks that it would be well to discuss term s with the Berlin gov­ ernment. but the more sturdy con­ gressmen believe that the President should turn the proposition down flat. There is very little sympathy here for Germany, Austria or Turkey, and a majority of the. senators and repre­ sentatives hope that the president will give a quick short answer to the Ger­ man chancellor. hold back his aggressors. In Belgian Flanders, the Belgians, British and French troops are still driving forward, although their speed had been somewhat lessened by reason of the bad condition of the ground. The enemy is swiftly evacuating the salient between Armentieres and Lens and the British now are standing only a scant six miles southwest of Lille over a front of about four miles be­ tween W avrin and Eqinghem, at the former place having gained a position astride the Lens-Lille railroad- In the mountain region in northern Italy the Italians on several sectors have attacked and defeated the Aus trians, while in Albania the Austro- Hungarians are in fast retreat before the Jtalian armies.

FIRST 1 0 0 NUMBERS DRAWN IN THE DRAFT GERMANS STILL IN RETREAT - ON WESTERN FRONT IN FRANCE STRONG LANGUAGE EXUDES FROM GERMAN NEWSPAPER Amsterdam.—Germany is beginning to realize and admit that it is a na tion of scoundrels. Press comment, always Ihe best key to the public opinion of a nation, is veering around to the point whfere it is confessing Germany’s faults. Frank­ ly the German papers are beginning t- admit that they must- abandon the idea that their armies are fighting tftor conquest, and realize that w hat they are fighting for is bare existence. "It is a m atter of damnable import­ ance,” says T he8Cologne Gazette, al­ ways regarded as a semi-official jour­ nal, “whether we are or are not re­ garded throughout the world as a na­ tion of blackguards. Indeed we are being so regarded.” OUR AVIATORS AGAIN COVER THEMSELVES WITH GLORY W ith the American Army North­ west of Verdun.—The American avia­ tors again covered themselves with glory and performed almost the im­ possible. Dawn broke with mists heavy over the trenches and the coun­ try across which the Americans were to go, and it was hours before the weather cleared sufficiently to permit of any observation to speak of. The splendid laison that marked the day’s operations was due in great part to the work of the aviators, who countless times risked their lives in reconnoi'tering, attacking tfle retreat­ ing Germans and bringing! back re­ ports. German fliers during the entire morning swooped over the heads of the American infantry only a few hun­ dred m eters above the earth, using machine guns with telling effect until driven off. Again the Germans are in retreat on an important- sector of the western battle front in France. The scene of the new retrograde movement is a wide front north and south of La- Bassee canal. The continuation by the entente al­ lied forces of their brilliant achieve­ ments in restoring Belgium, Flanders and the expulsion of the enemy from further territory in. France from the region of Cam'brai to Verdun evident­ ly has brought the Germans to the realization that the great bend in the line from Menin to the east Of Arras is likely- to prove aonther such trap as w as, the St. Mihiel salient unless they are fast enough of foot ,to move eastward', giving up Lille, Lens and Doual. and straighten their line from the vicinity of-Cambrai to Belgium. On all the other six battle fronts from Belgium to Verdun the entente -forces are keeping up their "success­ ful advances. The town of St.- Quentin, upon which the Germans had so firmly builded their hopes of proving an insuperable barrier to the allies, at last has been entered by the French and seemingly the gateway is open to ‘Marshal Foch for a swift advance eastward in his task of reclaiming northern France. Meanwhile the Germans and their allies on all the battlefronts have continued to play a losing game, and report had it that the Turks, realizing the critical situation through succes­ sive defeats and the withdrawal of Bulgaria from the war, are sending out peace feelers. Fromi northern Belgium to the re­ gion of Verdun the battlefront is still' seething with activity on various fronts and with the entente forces continuing to make gains against the Germans which are seriously - imper­ iling the enemy lines. In the mountain region of the Ital­ ian front there has been a consider­ able increase in artillery activity and it is probable th at-MarshalvFoch soon will begin an offensive here against the Austro-Hungarians. General AJlenby in Palestine has surrounded Damascus and French cavalry is reported to be working it3 way up the M editerranean sea coast toward Bayrout. , In the recent fighting in France ann Flanders the German1 losses in men killed or woupded and in guns cap­ tured have been enormous. To the Belgians the Germans lost virtually all their forward defensive, artillery and some heavy naval guns. Many men were made prisoner. During Sep­ tem ber the British took 66,300 prison ers, 700 guns of all calibers and thou­ sands of machine guns In addition to lnictiflng heavy losses on.the enemy, and in August and September took 123-618 prisoners and 1,400 guns. AMERICAN TROOPS ARE DOING GOOD WORK ALONG THE- MEUSE DESPERATE RIGHTING GOES ON ON AMERICAN FRONT W ith the Ariierican Army North­ west of Verdun—The Americans re­ sumed the attack west of the Meuse and advanced their lines fronl two to live kilometers. They capture^ Hili 240, north of Exermont, and the villages of JGesnes, Fleville, Chehery and LaFtorges- In the face of heavy artillery and machine gun fire Illinois, Wisconsin, western Pennsylvania, Virginia- and W est Virginia troos have forced the nemy back in the Kriemhilde posi­ tion, south of Foret wood. With the American Army* North­ west of Verdun—The American troops an the line stretching westward from the Meuse who are opposed, by rein­ forced units of the German arm y were busy straightening out the kinks left in their long front. It was a day lack­ ing spectacular operations, but a sum­ mary of the reports reaching head­ quarters indicated .the desperate char acter of the fighting. The general line was not m aterially altered, but such changes as were made were to the advantage of the Americans. TERSE COMMENT ON GERMAN OFFER AND AS APT AS TERSE Washington.—It hardly is taking a position in advance of the American government to say that if the present proposition signifies Germany’s ,un­ qualified acceptance of the four prin­ ciples laid down, by President Wilson it will be considered. If it doesn’t; if it is an acceptance “in principle” with saving diplomatic language paving the way for quibbling around a council ta­ ble, it will not be considered. MAY BE SHREWD MOVE TO HINDER SALE OF BONDS Washington.—One thought concern­ ing the German peace offer that found expression in' many quarters was that the Germans, in launching their effort just at this time, probably hope to ‘af­ fect the fourth Liberty loan by creat­ ing the idea that, the end of the war is at hand. It is believed, however, that their effort will have the directly , op­ posite effect. Officials were confident that the American people will more generously over-subscribe the loan. SUBSCRIPTIONS TO LIBERTY LOAN TOO MUCH BELATED • ------------ W ashington.—The nation is march­ ing toward its six-billion dollar Lib­ erty loan goal a t just a little more than half the speed required to main­ tain a daily subscription rate of $315,- 000,000. Bond sales officially ,tabulat­ ed were announced by the treasury as $855,132,900 o r an incresae of $229,- 000,000 in the last 24 hours. At the standard rate of $3 1 5,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 a day, the reeoBd by this time shpuld have been .$1,575,000,000. AMERICAN CASUALTIES ARE SAID TO BE MODERATE London.—British and French forces continued to advance north of St. Quentin. They reached the outskirts of Bontbrehain after severe fighting. The American casualties in the Ar- gonne region are described as moder­ ate. The Germans have been unable to maintain their usual artillery fire and undoubtedly beginning seriously to feel the loss of the large number of guns captured from them recently. TREMENDOUS EXPLOSION IN JERSEY MUNITIONS PLANT Perth Amboy, N. J.—Many men were ’killed and scores of others in­ jured in a tremendous explosion at the plant of the T. A. Gillespie Shell- loading Company, a t Morgan,, near Il 61*6. The number of dead and injured cannot -be determined until employes of the plant answer a roll call in the morfiing. Estim ates placed the num­ ber of killed and hurt at from 50 to more than 1 0 0. DAMASCUS IS TAKEN AND?, 7,000 TURKS MADE PRISONERS London—More than 7000’ Turks were taken prisoner when General Allen- by’s forces occupied Damascus, the w ar office announced. The statem ent says: ■Palestine—Troops of an Australian mounted division entered Damascus October I, the city was occupied'by the British forces and by a portion o f. the Arab army of King Hussein.' Over 7.000 prisoners were taken. ‘After its surrender, with the ex­ ception of necessary guards, all the allied troops were withdrawn from the city for the time being. IMPERILLED AMERICAN FORCE IS RESCUED BY BRITISH AMERICAN AVIATORS DESTROY MORE THAN 100 AIRPLANES Washington.—Further advance by the American forces along the Meuse river and in the. Argonne -forest were reported in General PerBhing’s com­ munique, received at the war depart-1 the September 12 registration.

In our attacks around Vendhuile we were able to fight through and relieve this party, numbering some hundreds, who having taken up their position Sunday night were surrounded by the Germans. Notwithstanding that they were opposed by such superior numbers and only possessed the ammunition ment. American patrols have passed j beyond Cierges and are maintaining contact with the enemy. ! More than 10(1 hostile planes and 2 1 baloons have been shot down by American aviators since September 26, General Pershing said. The statement follows: Section A. During the day we ad* vanced our lines in the forest of Argonne. Further to the east our patrols have passed beyond Cierges and are operating north of that point on the road from Exermont to Gens- nes, maintaining contact with the enemy.- ‘Th the nortji our troops are ad­ vancing with the French and British, and participating in their successes. "Sincei September 26, our aviators have shot down more than 1 0 0 hostile planes and 2 1 balloons. "Section B. There is nothing to report in this sector.” . ANOTHER MOVEMENT STARTED TO INCREASE PRICE OF WHEAT •Washington.—Senators and repre- resenatiyes from the wheat grow­ ing states and officials of the Na­ tional W heat Growers’ AssociaUon In conference here "decided to appoint a ^ d raUons" whtoh“ t h ^ Them7el7e; [ -were carrying, the Americans made a magnificent resistance and the ground was strewn with German dead. LARGE AMOUNT OF MATERIAL IS CAPTURED BY AMERICANS Washington. — General Pershing’s communique says that a partial count of the material captured during the past week by the American troops ad­ vancing between the Meuse and Ar­ gonne shows-1 2 0 guns of all calibers, 750 trench mortars, 300 machine guns, 1 0 0 heavy tank guns, thousands of ar­ tillery shells and hundreds of thou­ sands of rounds "of small arm ammu­ nition. Only artillery and machine gun fire .was reported on the front. BRITISH ARE FORCED BACK AT ONE POINT BY GERMANS London.—Thel Germans havie Iosl further ground, to the British In the outskirts of Cambrai and northwest of that city, but northeast of St. Quenin the BriUsh under a violent counter-at­ tack have been foriced from the village of Sequehart. The enemy attacked strongly northeast of St. Quentin and succeeded in pressing back our troops from the village of Sequehart when his progress was stopped. ident Wilson immediate action fixing the price of wheat for 1919 at $2.50 a bushel. GERMAN COUNTER ATTACK , BEATEN OFF BY AMERICANS Paris.—A German counter attack in tbe vicinity of Apremont, on the bat­ tle front‘northwest of Verdun, was successfully beaten back in the fore- non by the Americans. Otherwise the fighting on the American front was virtually at a standstill. * - The broken roads and destroyed bridges are being repaired in order I hat. -the transport of supplies to the front may be continued with greater regularity. ENEMY TANK MINES NUMEROUS •N AND ALONG BATTLE AREA W ith the American Army on the St Quentin Front.—Before' the American advance, the Germans littered the country with tank mines, aparently anticiapting a withdrawal. Scores of British-made tanks, many of them manned by American crews are co­ operating In the American advance. One of these rolled over a mine and was -blown up, one casualty resulting and the other got through and did snlendid execuUon. The great undertaking started prac­ tically on the minute, and then Went steadily forward. Amid ceremonies profoundly im­ pressive and of transcendent historical significance, Gen. Peyton C. March, chief of staff of the urmy, received In person this vast force of as yet iinuni- formed reserves, on behalf of the mil­ itary branch of the government. 4,000,000 in’ Arms by July. And from this reservoir of man pow­ er—the largest body of citizen soldiers ever offered by the people of any na­ tion to their government—General March is to recruit the army of 4,000,- 0 0 0 men which he has promised to have overseas by July I ,next to back up General Pershing on the battlefields of Europe. Every man In the registration is af­ fected, as from those who are not called for active military duty the country’s war managers propose to mobilize a great industrial army of war workers to mrke certain of a con­ stantly flowing stream of men and mu­ nitions to the field.of battle. The roll call, which is to assign to each of the 13,000,000 men a military number determining the order in which he is to- be called, was begun by President Wilson ,himself, and not fin­ ished until late in the afternoon next day. As the tally sheets were filled they were rushed over to the government printing office for the official master IlsL which, when completed, were sent by, General Crowder to all district boards throughout the country, which, In turn were to make them public through the newspapers. In that way the country at large was informed of the order of all the numbers wifhin a few days. Wilson Is Applauded. There was a hearty „ rgund of ap­ plause as the president, blindfolded with a piece of cloth taken from the covering of one of the chairs used at the signing of the' Declaration of Independence, approached the table on which rested the famous glass bowl used upon the 'first drawing. Provost Marsha! Gen. Qrowder guid­ ed his band as he reached down into the bowl to pick one of the 17,000 blue capsules containing the numbers.. There was increased handclapping when it was announced that the first number of- the drawing was 322, for the number which the president drew has a registrant representing it In -every one of the 4,557 local boards in the country. Every man whose serial number corresponds to It may there­ fore consider that the command to “march” or “work” comes from tin commander In chief himself.

ALSO RUNS GREAT LAUNDRY Collecting Fruit Pits and Nutshells for Gas Mask Charcoal—United States Buys Cuban Sugar Crop for Equita­ ble Distribution. (From Committee on Public Informa­ tion.) Washington.—Articles of wearing apparel to the number of 1,450,370 were repaired during July in the shops of various camps and cantonments of the United States army. In this total- were 314,518 pairs of shoes, 48,802 hats, 65,841 overcoats, 97,506 coats, 259,976 pairs of breeches, 84,212 flan­ nel shirts, 242,217 undershirts, 208,538 pairs of drawers, 6 ,1 0 0 pairs of stock­ ings, 20,057 pairs of leggings, 53,799 blankets, 764 sweaters and 47,965 oth­ er articles. Besides being the biggest tailor and cobbler, the quartermaster general is probably also the operator of the greatest laundry on earth. During July there were handled in the laun­ dries attached to the various camps and cantonments 9,762,170 pieces, in­ cluding 2,030,947 garments for officers and enlisted men. -The total revenue from these laundries was §297,179.12. One hundred of the 200 stations to be established for the assembling of fruit pits and nut shells which are to be converted into charcoal for gas masks have been designated by the Ked Cross, which is in charge of the collections throughout the country. Encouraging reports of collections already have been received in’ Wash­ ington. Girl scouts’ headquarters an­ nounces that at one collection point two little girls from one troop which had been in the work for a short time brought in 1,600 pits, while another pair contributed 2 ,0 0 0 each. Wholesale .grocers in large cities have sent in copies of posters they have had printed and circulated among retailers. Each of the latter has been, requested to place a receptacle in his store for the pits and shells and to co­ operate with their local Red Cross rep­ resentatives. The United States sugar equaliza­ tion board' has contracted with the Cu­ ban minister to the United States to purchase the Cuban sugar crop at a price basis of $5.50 per 100 pounds, f. o. b. Cuban ports. This purchase is made on behalf of the American, Eng­ lish, French and Italian governments. The crop will begin to be available In December, and its division among the allies will be directed by the Unit­ ed States food administration. These arrangements will this year, as last, put an end to all speculation in sugar and assure an equitable distribution among all the allies and to our own consumers. Brig. Gen. 'Charles Bichard, acting surgeon general while General Gorgas Is in France, has corrected a statement ‘‘that the nursing needs of the army have already been met, and that 27,- 0 0 0 nurses have been enrolled by the Ked Cross in response to the surgeon general’s request for 25,000 graduate nurses by January I, 1919.” General Uichard says that 25,000 nurses must be obtained before the first of the year. More than 16,000 are now on' the rolls of the army nurse corps, leaving 9,000 still to be found. General Richard estimates that before July I, 1919, 50,000 nurses will be re­ quired. Thus In less than a year 34,000 nurses must step forward, General .Richard points out, to meet the need. ■ To meet the growing interest in the public health nurse as a factor in saving the lives of babies and in keep­ ing the health of the American popula- tion'back of the lines up to' standard, the' children’s bureau of the United States department of labor has just published a pamphlet on ‘‘The Public Health N urse; How She Helps to Keep Our Babies Well.” This pam­ phlet was prepared by U r. C. E. A. Winslow, professor of public health at Tale university. It has been sent to the state child welfare chairman of the council of national defense for the. information of communities that are engaged in the children’s year campaign to save 1 0 0 ,0 0 0 babies. The- national organization for pub­ lic health nurses has suggested that- the state councils of national defense shall engage a supervisor of nurses who shall keep up the standard of public health nursing in the state and • especially shall keep In touch with those nurses who are provided with only the emergency equipment of the ten-weeks’ campaign. Fresh milk will be supplied to 20,000 sick and wounded soldiers in France by 1,000 cows which the French gov­ ernment has agreed to loan to the American Red Cross, it is an­ nounced by that organization. With these cows the Red Cross will estab­ lish a model experimental dairy plant a t the largest American army hos­ pital In France. An appropriation of $5,000 has been made for tue institu­ tion of the plant. As the dairy will be - operated by convalescent soldiers the jcost of maintenance will be compara­ tively There would 'seem to be little, 11 any, connection between the problem of supplying General Pershing with artillery ammunition and that of fur­ nishing Tuscumbia, Ala., say, with better milk. Actually, however, the relation of one to the other is sc real and intimate • that the chief Cf' ordnance of the United States war de partm ent has approved plans whereby not only Tuscumbia, but also dozens of other cities and towns where ord­ nance m aterial is manufactured, will get better milk and better living con­ ditions generally. It has' been found that where living conditions are' bad and housing provisions inadequate, ordnance workers become discontented and production lags. ' Tuscumbia, Sheffield and Florence, Ala., contain the employees of the three great government nitrate plants located in the vicinity of' Mussel Shoals. U ke most small towns sud­ denly required by the present war to accommodate huge ordnance enter­ prises planted in their midst, these three communities were.wholly unable to afford proper housing, and condi­ tions rapidly got beyond control. The better and more desirable of the work­ ers, with their families, grew restless. A transformation is now In progress under direction of the community or­ ganization branch. Vice centers have been eradicated, the sale of liquor has been placed under rigid control. A public m arket has been established for the three towns. Here farmers from the surroimding districts take their products and dispose of them to representatives of the ordnance plants. Wagons of the ordnance de­ partm ent then cart the produce to the plants and sell It at cost to the work­ ers. Central bureaus for these three towns have undertaken the housing problem. Parks and playgrounds are being planned for the workers and tlieir families. The communities them­ selves have been awakened to the significant part which such improve­ ments play in the business of making munitions and of winning the war. • Statistics gathered under direg{lon of Brig. Gen. B. E. Wood, acting quar­ term aster general of the army, show that the cost of equipping and main­ taining a soldier overseas is $423.47 a year. To equip and maintain a soldier in the United States costs $327.78 a year. Subsistence, figured at 69 cents a day, amounts to' §251.85 per man over­ seas ; figured at 52 cents a day In the United States, It amounts to $189.80 per man. The cost of the initial equip­ ment. for the soldier the first year in the United States is §115.30. The cost of the initial equipment of the soldier overseas for the first year is $42.41. This cost of §42.41 is for articles which are Issued for overseas use only and-which are in addition to the regu­ lar equipment. Thus it appears that if the soldier going overseas did not take with him a great deal of his equipment already supplied him in the United States, the contrast between the cost of equipping and maintaining a soldier In this country and abroad would be much more marked. The largest private telephone branch in the world is the one that serves the increasing needs of the war depart­ ment in Washington. It fills a special­ ly constructed three-story building con­ taining 44 ‘‘positions”—an office bigger than the “central”'in many a consider­ able city. Thirty additional "posi­ tions” are in course of installation. On July I this branch served 3,178 extensions; on August I, 3,626. It re­ quires 126 trunk lines for Incoming calls.; 76 tru n k . lines for outgoing calls, local and suburban toll; 17 pri­ vate toll lines to New York, Philadel­ phia, Baltimore, Detroit (via Cleve­ land), Hoboken and N ew port' News, and 105 tie lines to other government stations In Washington. An average of four records taken during July shows 32,938 outward and 16,564 inward calls in 24 hours. In the “peak” hours the calls often run as" high as 7,284 an hour. The operating force consists of 90 persons. The United States war industries board has announced that agricultural periodicals must reduce their con- sumptiod; of print paper 15 per cent under regulations for the conservation of print paper adopted by that board, The regulations were to become effec­ tive October 1,1918. A committee of publishers recom­ mended the use of lighter body paper; discontinuance of subscriptions in ar­ rears ; free exchanges to; be cut off and free copies to advertisers and ad­ vertising' agencies to be restricted; abandonment of sales at nominal or exceedingly low priee, of prize con­ tests for subscriptions and special or holiday numbers except such as have been regularly issued In the past. . Establishment of new papers during the war is to be prohibited unless the necessity for them can he shown, arid combinations of two or more agricul­ tural periodicals most be reported to the’pulp and paper section of the war industries board for a ruling as to pa­ per tonnage that will be allowed. The bureau of animal Industry of the United'States department of agri­ culture has just issued a list of all the dairy herds In the United States that on- July I, 1918, had been ,offi­ cially accredited as free from tubercu-i losis or that had successfully passed one test with a view to certification.

TURKISH ARMIES DESTROYED Splendid Success Won by General Al- Ienby' in Palestine—Rout of Bul­ garians in Macedonia Increases— . Their Country Is Invaded. By EDWARD W. PICKARD. It was a bad week for the Huns and their allies. From.ail the battle fronts came reports of repulse, retreat, de­ feat or utter rout and disaster, the cen- j tral powers always being the losers. And to top it off, on Thursday the French and American annies started another big drive in the Champagne and in the region to the east of it, which threatened the communication lines -In the rear of the Hindenburg defense system and might even result In separating the German forces in the west into two groups. The drive, on a 40-mile front, was shared equally by the armies of Per­ shing and Petain and all the way from the Suippe river to the Meuse the Germans were forced back, their bases and railway centers at Somme-Py and Challerange being in immediate peril. The-Americans made the swiftest prog­ ress along the Meuse valley, taking many towns and thousands of prison­ ers. ' The Huns were withdrawing all their forces except machine gunners. A t the time of writing the Yanks and French were still advancing; This new allied attach came log-- ically after the Huns' were driven back to the Hindenburg' line and was well timed, tor the enemy had concen­ trated his heavy guns and all the troops he could spare further north to defend St. Quentin and Laon against the persistent^ assaults of the British and French. For quite a distance east- ward from Reims the terrain Is so open that the movement of the allies Is favored, and any' considerable ad­ vance there would tend to cut the east­ ward communication linqs from Laon, which city has been the pivot of the entire German- system from Reims to Flanders. . — f e — The sensational news of the earlier part of the week came from Palestine and Macedonia. -In- the Holy Land General Allenby, by a sudden, swift and skillfully conducted attack, smashed the Turkish forces between the River Jordan andv,the Mediterra­ nean from the Jaffa-Jericho line clear up beyond the Sea of Galilee. Feint­ ing with his right In an attack ^direct­ ed toward Afule, in the hill region of Samaria, he delivered his main blow with his left, which, moved swiftly up the coastal plain, occupying .in turn Caesarea, Haifa and Acre. This force then quickly shifted its course toward the northeast, turning the highlands of Samaria and compelling the Turks to make a precipitate and perilous re­ tre a t In fact the enemy was routed and made little’ effort to rally and check the victorious progress of the British. Allenby’s men drove forward with amazing rapidity, capturing the railway running from Haifa through Afule and Nablus toward Jerusalem and occupying Nazareth, 'the home of Jesus. . • - Meanwhile the Arabs of Hedjcz were moving northward along the hills east of the Jordan, driving the Turks before them and threatening to sever Oielr Mne of retreat to Damascus. Still further north another force of tribesmen raided the railway junc­ tion of Derau and destroyed the rail­ way there. Probably 50,000 prisoners were taken by the British in Palestine and it seemed likely that almost the entire Turkish force caught In the trap would be Captured or . destroyed. The seventh and eighth Turkish armies were ,virtually annihilated: Thtrn is added satisfaction In the fact that Li­ man von Sandarsl the German general­ issimo of the Turkish -forces, was in command there and fled from Naza­ reth -just in time to avoid capture1-. General Allenby deserves the greater credit for his success because he had to send many of his troops to the west front in Europe during the sum­ mer 'and was compelled to reorganize Iiis expedition.. The end of his driv.e is not yet in sight. How the leaders of the Young Turks, the tools of Germany, will weather this storm of defeat is a question. Already, it is reported, they are depositing their wealth in Swiss banks. — — In Serbia, where another German general, Von Steuben, is in supreme command of the forces of the central powers, the successes of the allies were no less than those in Palestine and perhaps of greater immediate im­ portance. Having driven their great spearhead northward in the center of the line along the Vardar river, they crossed that river and by TTuesday the Serbians had reached the outskirts of Ishtip, an important Bulgarian base. Then the allies turned to both the east and west in a great flanking move­ ment. On the west the Serbians, rout­ ing a German garrison, took Gradslto, capturing, an enormous quantity of sup­ plies, including a number of guns. They and the French operating with them passed far beyond Prilep toward Kru- shevo and Kichevo, which are in the foothills of the mountains separating Serbia and Albania. They occupied Veles, north of Frilep, Thursday. Thus the allies gained control of the entire Monastir-Gradsko road, cutting the Bulgarian army into a number of groups. Still further west the Italians took a hand in the joyful proceedings, pursuing the fleeing Bulgarians relent­ lessly. East of the Vardnr the Bulgars and Germans were steadily forced back to­ ward the frontier, and on Tliursday came the news that British and Greek forces had actually Invaded Bulgaria at Kosturino, about six miles south of Strumnitza, the Teutonic base of that region. In the Lake Doiran region the resistance of the enemy has been stronger, but there too the British and Greeks were making daily gains. As soon a s they shall - have driven the Bulgars from a hilly triangle in that sector, it Is pointed out, they will be able to. put into commission again the Uskub-Saloniki railroad and con­ vey plentiful supplies to the troops. As the allies advanced they were joined by the peasants, and among the prisoners taken were many Serbians who had been forced to serve in the Bulgarian army. It is noteworthy that among the allies fighting in this region is a big contingent of Jugo-Slavs. In the advance of the allies the tanks cut a considerable figure. . These engines of war never before had been on such a rough, mountainous terrain. —IS — It was the general opinion tliat Bul­ garia. as a belligerent, was doomed by the disastrous defeat in Macedonia. Already she was sore at Germany and Turkey, and a great part of the nation, led by the queen, w as really in sym­ pathy with the allies. Tlie recent ter­ rific blows to German m ilitary prestige will make the Bulgarians more than ever anxious to break with the kaiser, on whose promises of Balkan hegem­ ony they had relied. According to information' from Switzerland, King Ferdinand appealed to Field Marshal von Mackensen, Who was' in Bucharest to take command Of the Bulgarian arm­ ies and save his country from invasion. A ministerial crisis with an entire change of foreign policy is imminent, and owing to pacifist demonstrations In Sofia that city was placed under m artial law. ■ Some authorities believe Crown -Prince Boris will Ue made re­ gent. •' - " — f c — Progress by the allies In Picardy was slow but sure during the week. The Huns were desperately trying to save St. Quentin, but despite their repeated counter-attacks, which were especially fierce in the region of Epehy, the Brit­ ish continued to close down on-that 'cliy from the west add north, while the French completed its investment on the south. The reactions of the Germans ivere powerful and they sacrificed great numbers of men. At times the British were compelled to 'give ground, but In almost every instance this was imme­ diately recovered.

By taking Selency the French estab­ lished themselves in strong positions two miles from the western environs of St. Quentin. It seemed evident that Marshal Foch could capture that city at any time he wished, but at an ex­ pense In lives which he was endeavor­ ing to avoid by the slower method of investment. —Pa— The news of the week was so good that it seems necessary once more to warn the people of the United States against undue optimism concerning the eariy coming of peace. Allied com­ manders and statesmen agree' in the opinion that unless there is a sudden and unexpected collapse Germany can well hold out for at least another year, and that we must make all our prepara­ tions for a w ar that will not end before 1920, if then. .Moreover, the prevail­ ing Idea that the morale of the German soldiers has greatly declined is mistak­ en. ' They are still in most cases fight­ ing hard, despite tlieir recent reverses, and lew morale is observable mainly in prisoners, where it is to be expect­ ed. Germany is by no means a t the end of her resources, the distance to the Rhine is great and her resistance' may be expected to grow stronger, the closer the allied armies get to German territory. The final outcome, as has been said many times in this review, is not in doubt, but the greatest blows for; civilization and freedom are yet to be dealt. — f e — Imperial Chancellor von Hertling, addressing the main committee of the reichstag, made a very blue speech, admitting the deep discontent of the German people and the gravity of the situation. BUs effort to defend the government was regarded as a failure and his own downfall was predicted.' Von Hertling made a bitter attack on President Wilson, and said that though he had accepted the four principles of a democratic peace laid down by Mr. Wilson, the president had not deigned to reply. This is false, as Von Hertling accepted only the first; four of Wil­ son’s .first set of fourteen planks and then stated that Germany would make peace with each belligerent separate­ ly and deal with Poland independent­ ly. The rest of the planks he re­ jected. . i —I* — ' Holland’s food situation has become so distressing that the Dutch cabinet Is trying hard to effect an arangement by which the offer of the United States can be acceptgd. This, in a word, is that foodstuffs will be sent from this country, under guaranty against their re-exportation, provided Holland will send her own ships to get them. The Dutch feel that they must first make an arrangement with Germany and obtain a formal guaranty that their vessels will not be sunk or seized, for if they w ere. she would probably be forced into the war. It Is a difficult situation for the Dutch and they are entitled to much sympa­ thy, but to a great extent their food troubles-are due to the greed of their own food profiteers, who for a long time imported provisions only to sell them to the Germans at extraordinary prices. — fcA , The campaign for the fourth Liberty loan of $6,000,000,000 * opened Satur­ day morning with Immense enthusiasm exhibited' In every city, town and vil­ lage of the country. The people are as determined as Is the government to make this loan a sw ift and overwhelm­ ing success, for they now fully realize that In thus lending their money to themselves they are providing the means of-keeping the Huns from tak­ ing it from them by force. And that is only the selfish part ^jf their view. They also know that the loan is vital­ ly necessary to the salvation , of hu­ manity the world over. By concurring In the prohibition amendment to the agricultural exten­ sion bill the house of representatives last week made it certain that the country would be “bone dry” from July I,' 1919, until the war is over and the armed forces demobilized.

Synopsis.—Fired by the sinking of the Lusitania, with the loss of American lives, Arthur Guy Empey, an American living in Jersey City, goes to England and enlists as a private in the British army. After a short experience as a recruiting officer in London, he is sent to train­ ing quarters in France, where he first hears the sound of big guns and makes the acquaintance of “cooties.” After a brief period of. training Empeyr s company is sent into the front-iine trenches, where he takes his first turn on the fire step while tlie bullets whiz overhead. Empey learns, as comrade falls, that death lurks always In the trenches. Chaplain distinguishes himself by rescuing wounded men under hot fire. With pick and shovel Empey has experience as a trench digger In No Man’s Land. Exciting experience on listening post detail. Ex­ citing work on observation post duty.

CHAPTER XXIII—Continued. —19— A gas helmet is made of cloth, treat­ ed with chemicals. There are two win­ dows, or glass eyes, in it, through which you can see. Inside there is a rubber- covered tube, which goes in the mouth. Sou breathe through your nose; the gas, passing through the cloth helmet. Is neutralized by the action of the chemicals. The foul air is exhaled through the.tube in the mouth, this tube being so constructed that it pre­ vents the inhaling of the outside air or gas. One helmet is good for five hours of the strongest gas. Each Tommy tarries two of them slung around his shoulder in a waterproof canvas bag. He must wear this bag at all times,- even while sleeping. To change a de­ fective helmet, you take out the new one, hold your breath, pull the old= one off, placing the new- one over your head, tucking in the loose ends under, the collar of your tunic. For a minute, pandemonium reigned In our trench—Tommies adjusting tlieir helmets, bombers running here and there, and men turning out of the dugouts with fixed bayonets, to man the fire step. Re-enforcements were pouring out of the communication trenches. Our gun’s crew were busy mounting the machine gun on the parapet and bringing up extra ammunition from the dugout, German gas is heavier than air and soon fills the trenches and dugouts, where it has been known to lurk for two or three days, until the air is puri­ fied by means of large chemical spray­ ers. We had to work quickly, as Fritz generally follows the gas with an in­ fantry attack. A company man on our right was too slow in getting on his helmet'; he sank to the ground, clutching at his throat, and after a . few spasmodic twistings went West (died). It was horrible to see him die, but we were powerless to help him. In the corner of a traverse, a little, muddy cur dog, one of the company’s pets, was lying dead, with his paws over his nose.- It’s the animals that suffer the most --the horses, mules, cattle, dogs, cats and rats—they having no helmets to save them. Tommy does not sympa­ thize with rats in a gas attack At times gas has been known to travel, with dire results,-fifteen miles behind the lines. A gas, or smoke helmet, as it is called, at the best is a vile-smelling thing, and it is not long before one gets a violent headache from wearing it. Our eighteen-pounders were burst­ ing in No Man’s Land, in an effort, by the artillery, to disperse - the gas clouds. The fire step was lined with crouch-' Ing men, bayonets fixed, and bombs near at hand to repel the expected at­ tack. Our artillery had put a barrage of curtain fire on the German lines, to try • and break up their attack and keep' back re-enforcements. : , . I trained my machine gun'on; their trench and its bullets were raking the Parapet Then over they came, bayonets glis-' tening. In their respirators, .which have a large snout In front, they look­ ed like some horrible nightmare. AU along our trench, rifles and ma­ chine guns spoke, our shrapnel was bursting over their heads. - They went down in heaps, but new ones took the places of the fallen. Nothing could stop that mad rush.- The'G erm ans reached our barbed wire, which had Previously been demolished by their shells, then It was bomb against bomb, and the devil for-all. Suddenly my head seemed to burst front a loud "crack” In my ear. Then toy head began to swim, throat got dry, and a heavy pressure on the lungs warned me that my helmet was leak­ ing. Turning by gun- over to No. 2, I changed helmets. The trench started to wind like a snake, and sandbags appeared to be floating in the air. The noise was hor­ rible ; I sank onto the fire step, needles seemed to be pricking my flesh, then blackness. I was awakened 'by one of my mates removing my . smoke helm et How de­ licious that cool, fresh air felt in my lungs. A strong wind had arisen and dis­ persed the gas. They told me# that I had been “out” for three hours; they thought I was dead. The attack had been repulsed after a hard fight. Twice the Germans had gained a foothold in our trench, but had been driven out by counter-at­ tacks. The trench was filled with their dead and ours. Through a periscope I counted eighteen dead Germans in our w ire; they were a ghastly sight in their horrible-looking respirators. I examined my first smoke helm et A bullet had gone through it on the left side, just grazing my ear. The gas had penetrated through the hold made in the cloth. Out of our crew of six we lost two killed and two wounded. That night we buried ail of the dead, excepting those in No Man’s Land. In death there is not much distinction; friend and foe are treated alike. After the wind had dispersed the gas the R. A. M. C.*got busy with theil chemical sprayers, spraying out the The next morning the four reported to division headquarters for instruc­ tions. Two of the men were sent to large towns In the rear of the lines with an ensy job. When it came, our turn the officer told us we were good men and had passed a very creditable examination. My tin hat began to get too small for me, and I noted that the other man, Atwell by name, was sticking his chest' out more than usual. The officer continued; "I think I can use you two men to great advantage in the front line. Here are your orders and instructions, also the pass which gives you full authority as special M. P. detailed on intelligence work. De­ port at the front line according to your instructions. It is risky work and I wish you both the best of luck.” My heart dropped to zero and At­ well’s face was a study. We saluted and left. That wishing us the “best of luck” sounded very ominous in our ears; if he had said “I wish you both a swift and painless death” it would have been more to the point. When we had read our instructions we knew we were in for It good and plenty. What Atwell said is not fit for pub­ lication, but I strongly seconded his opipion of the war, army and divisional headquarters in general. After a bit our spirits rose. We were full-fledged spy-catchers, because our instructions and orders, said so,- We immediately reported to the nearest French estaminet and had sev­ eral glasses of muddy water, which thej- called beer. After drinking our beer we left the estaminet and hailed an empty ambulance. After showing the driver our passes we got in. The driver was going to the part of the line where we had to re­ port How the wounded ever survived a ride in-that ambulance was inexplica­ ble to me. It was worse than riding on a gun carriage over a rock road. • The driver of the ambulance was a corporal of the B. A. M. C., and he had the “wind up,” that is, he bad. an aversion to being under fire. , I was riding on the seat with him while Atwell was sitting in the ambu­ lance, with his legs hanging out of the back. " - As .we passed through a shell-de­ stroyed village a mounted military po­ liceman stopped us and informed the •driver to be very careful when we got out on- the open road, -as it' was very dangerous, because the Germans lately had acquired the habit -of shelling it. The corporal asked the trooper if there was any 'other way around, and was informed that there was not. Upon this he got very nervous'and wanted to turn back, but we Insisted that he pro- DESTINED TO BECOME DESERT A Gas Helmet.. dugouts and low parts of the trenches to dissipate any fumes of the German gas which may have been lurking in same. Two days after the gas attack I was sent to division headquarters,' In an­ swer to an order requesting that cap­ tains of units should detail a man whom they thought capable of passing an examination' for the divisional In­ telligence department. Before leaving' for' this' assignment I went along the front-line .trench say­ ing good-by to my mates and lording it over them, telling them that I had clicked a cushy job behind the lines, and how sorry I felt that they had to stay in the front line and argue out the war^ with Fritz. They were envious but still good-natured, and os I left the trench to go to the rear they shouted after m e; “Good luck, lank, old boy; don’t forget to send up a few fags to your ■old. m ates” I [promised to do this and left. ’ I-reported at headquarters with six­ teen others and passed the required ex­ amination. Out of the sixteen appli­ cants Tour were selected. I .whs highly elated because I was, I thought, in for a cushy job back at the base.' ;eed and explained to him that he would get into serious trouble with his. commanding officer if he returned without orders; we wanted to ride, not walk. From his conversaion we - learned that, he had recently come from Eng­ land with a draft and had never been under fire, hence his nervousness. We convinced Itim fhat there was not much danger, and he appeared greatly relieved. When we at last turned into the open road we were not so confident. On each side there had been a line of trees, but now, all that was left, of them were torn and batterpd stumps. The fields on each side of the road were dotted with recent shell holes, and we passed several in the road it­ self. We had gone about half a mile when a shell came whistling through the air and burst in a field about three hundred yards to our right. Another soon followed this one and burst on the edge of the road about four hun-. dred yards In front of us. I told the driver to throw in his speed clutch, as we must be in sight of the Germans. I knew the signs; that battery was ranging for us, and the quicker we got Out of its zone of fire the better. The driver was trem­ bling like a leaf, and every minute I expected him to pile tis up In the ditch. I preferred the German fire. In the back Atwell was holding onto the straps for dear life; and was sing­ ing at the top of his voice: We beat you at the Marne, We beat you at the Aisne, We gave you hell at Neuve Chapelle, Arid here We are again. Just then we hit a small shell hole and nearly capsized. Upon a loud yell from the rear I looked behind, and there was Atwell sitting in the middle of the road, shaking his fist at us. His equipment, which he had taken off upon getting into the ambulance, was strung out on the ground, and his rifle was In the ditch. Empey is called upon to do duty as a member of a firing squad. His description of the execution is given in the next installment (TO BE CONTINUED.! Traits of Bird Lovers. Tears ago; during a' winter’s visit in London, I used to watch the per­ sons who regularly fed the birds In Hyde park. I noticed that most of them were .people of apparently hum­ ble circumstances, a- few pretty close to underfeeding theniselves. It was delightful to see how much pleasure they all took in keeping these birds from hunger. Two that I saw each day for a week or so, evidently husband, and wife, I ventured to speak to. Eagerly they talked about the birds as they might have talked about children, noting, and relishing individual char­ acteristics. • . “We have become so fond'of them,” said the wife. “They recognize us now, many of them, and a few come to us quite fearlessly. We should feel quite uncomfortable If we should miss a day. They are like members of the family that have to be cared for."—Exchange. * Great French Colonial- Territory in ' North Africa Seems to Hold Out - Little Promise. Wadai was the last point of colonial expansion of the French before the Eu­ ropean struggle drew their energies and attention homeward. The great African territory was added to the French Kongo only a short time before the war broke out. Very few white people have actually visited Wadai, but tales of the region are numerous both In upper.Egypt and in TripolL Occasionally, some of the in­ habitants of the„ little-known region can be seen in the bazaars of Khartum or Algiers.' Wadai lies at the head of caravan routes that cross the desert both from the Mediterranean and the Nile. It bears a' bad reputa­ tion, even for North Africa. It is known as one of the last strong­ holds and sources of supply of the slave trade. Its people are divided into conquerors and conquered—the former belonging to a powerful na­ tive tribe that holds the Mohammed­ an faith and the latter including all manner of very primitive savages. Up to very recent times these savage peo­ ple are known to have been captured and Sold as slaves along the Barbary coast. The French only established a protectorate In 1912, so that they had little opportunity to break up the trade before the European war. In physical appearance Wadal 'is de­ scribed by the caravan men as a vast, low-lying plain. Great tracts of it have never been explored. It seems to have once formed the bed of a great inland sea, of which I.ake Chad, in the south­ west, .is the -hriveled rem nant In fact, the Sahara lSj steadily encroach­ ing on it from the northward, 'i t Is crossed by the old channels of several rivers, but without a single flowing j stream. At no very remote geologic epoch of the future Wadal will appar­ ently become a part of the great des­ ert to the north. Schwab’s Story on Himself. • When it comes to borrowing money Charles M .'Schwab, president of tte Bethlehem Steel company, says he will take second place to no one. You re­ member the story about the former Pittsburgher trying to make a "touch” for, .$2 ,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 and the banker calling Mr. Schwab’s attention to the fact that he already owed the bank several millions, and his reply was that he had forgotten all about it. Mr. Schwab at the New York Players’ club, related another “touch” he made.

Womans Rights'Ages Ago Proof is now at hand that Women had their “rights” for more than 2,000 years. As a m atter of fact a woman 2 ,0 0 0 years ago had atl her rights sad most of the man’s. A m arriage contract writ- *en on papyrus in the Museum of Natural History st New York throws a light on what was doing in =1Sypt long before the Christinn era.- In .the first Place it shows that the woman had-the “right” to repudiate, or cast off her husband, if he did , not suit her. When she did this_sbe took one-half of e Property they bad when married and two-thirds of what the husband by honest toil had accumu­ lated after marriage. And the half dozen women who read this went away wishing that the same law was in force right now. MARQUIS HAD LAST LAUGH. *The recent action at law involving the affairs of the fifth'm arquis of W aterford recalls a good story concerning that somewhat eccentric nobleman. Despite his- wealth and standing in society, h is1 lordship was of frugal habits and usually traveled third class on the railway , This rathei- got on the nerves of a certain pomp­ ous official connected with a local line much used by the marquis.' So one day he contrived to put three chimney sweeps, each carrying a bag of. soot, into the compartment where his lordship. was seated. Lord Waterford;, however, was equal to the oc- ' casion. When the train arrived at its destination . he took the sweeps to tlie booking office, bought them each a first-class ticket,-tipped them a sov ereign apiece as a recompense for having to'take an unnecessary journey, and sent them back dowr the line, sacks and all, each one In a separate first class carnage. ROOFS FOR POULTRY HOUSES Several Kinds of Material Can Be Used in Making. Covering—It Should Be Watertight. (Prepared by the United States Depart­ ment of Agriculture.) There are several kinds of material that can be used In making a roof for the poultry house, but It should always be kept in mind that the roof should be water tight. If it Is allowed to leak, the interior of the house will get damp, the birds will beCome un­ healthy, lose vigor and be more suscep­ tible' to fatal diseases. Shingle roofs should have a one-third pitch, while those covered with paper or metal may have a less pitch or..be almost flat. However, the greater the slope the longer the life of the roof. Specially prepared paper or shingles laid on sheathing may be used for covering the roof. Roofing papers are used very extensively for poultry houses a t the present time and In many places are replacing shingles. As a rule the former are cheaper and eas­ ier to lay, while they can be laid on a much flatter roof than the latter. One or two ply paper is usually used on the sides, and one, two and three d t id ib WOlMll WORK. 1 5 HOKU u r Marvelous Story of Woman’: Change from Weakaess to Strength by TsJdng Druggist’s Advice.

Shingles may be laid from four-to five inches to the weather on roofs which have one-third or more pitch, which is a rise of 8 or more inches to the foot, or one-third of j the span of a gable roof. Cedar and cypress shingles are usually laid five to six inches to the weather on walls or on roofs with one-third pitch, but not generally used on roofs which have a rise of less than eight inches to the foot. One thousand shingles, or four bundles of Cedarx shingles, are equiva­ lent to 1 ,0 0 0 shingles four inches wide; In shingling,- commence a t the eaves or lower edge by. laying a double course, while the rest of the layers are of single courses. They are laid either to a chalk line, which is fastened at the right points a t either'edge of the roof and snapped to make a mark for the lower edge of the tier of shingles, or to a straight-edged stick. Each' shingle is nailed with two either five or six penny nails, driven seven to eight Inches from the butt, depending upon the lap, so that the heads of the nails will be covered by the next course. One thousand cedar shingles laid four and one-half inches to the weather, cover about 125 square feet, depending on their size, Shingles m ay be laid on narrow sheathing three to five inches wide, or on common sheath­ ing, which is spaced from one to two inches apart to allow the roof to dry out quickly, and they should break joints at least one inch and as much more as possible.

DISPATCHES FROM RALEIGH Doinga and Happening* -That Mark I the Progress of North Carolina Peo- ■ pie, Gathered Around the State Capital. ' Raleigh. A tax on dogs by the Federal gov­ ernm ent as an aid in vra'r revenue is now a possibility, according to encour­ aging information recently received by Mr. R. S. Curtis of the North Carolina Experimeint Station. Mr. Curtis feels ’ greatly encouraged over tfiis report,' because of the fact that such a fax will be of great value to sheep hus­ bandry in the atate. The House committee,. it, has been learned, at first rejected the’ proposi­ tion, hut the finance committee of the Sedate recently listened'to the argu­ ment in favor of such a tax, and indi- ecated by questions Stidu comment a distinctly favorable attitude toward it. Over 1,600 county agents have re­ plied to a letter recently sent them agreeing unanimously that the roam- ing,' worthless dog is the limiting fac­ tor in sheep production in over 90 per cent of the cases which have been un- "der their observation. Men now work­ ing on the problem state that the fa­ vorable sentim ent-in the Senate com­ m ittee was largely moulded by the re­ port from these county agents. There­ fore, individual farmers could probably exert considerable influence by wrlt- iug at once to Mr. Simmons or Mr. Kitchin. According to Mr. Curtis no legisla­ tor cam hardly stand out against the fact' that dogs seriously repress the development of wool and mutto'u growing, both products essential to the welfare of humanity. The Federal tax will greatly decrease the number of useless curs, and tend strongly’ to keep valuable dogs under watchful control. Farm ers have, at this mo­ ment, says Mr. Cui-Hsf a chance to in­ fluence legislation -favorable to them­ selves, aijd to the nation. Limited Service Men Held.. v - Capt. T. B.

IEW CERTIFICATES TO BE REQUIRED Parmer* Purchasing Flour Without Cereal Substitutes Must ,Present Corn Miner’s Statement—New Food Administration Rulings. Ealeigh--State Food Administrator Henry A.

BKective September I, retailers and other dealers are forbidden to sell >’heat flour to farmers or other con­ sumers except: (I) In combination with an equal quantity of corn meal, com flour, grits, dry hominy, oat meal, rice flour, buckwheat flour, potato -flour, or other cereal substitutes Mlowed for this purpose, or (I)-.

The Food Administration will not have the new corn mUlers’ certificates -printed, hut will secure bids from a number of printing houses, and will refer millers to the printing house making the lowest bid. The form of the certificate will be furnished to com millers or others desiring them.

SHOULD INCREASE WHEAT ACREAGE Food Administration and Agricultural .Airthoritles Urging Greater Pro­ duction—No Restrictions on Seed W heat. Raleigh.—The Food Administration and the state and national agricul­ tural authorities are combining In a drive to increase the wheat acreage in North Carolina this fall. There was a very considerable increase in wheat acreage in this state last fall but it is expected that the response of patri­ otic farmers of the state this year Will be greater than ever. It is a well-known fact that wheat growers In North Carolina received last year and are this year receiving a higher [price than the wheat growers- of any other state In the Union, the average price for wheat in the state at this time being probably above $2.36 per bushel, notwithstanding the poor grades. The Food Administration and the Bureau of Markets have Interested themBelveS ■ In. locating seed • wheat, and the Food Administration in addi­ tion has suggested to the flour mills of the state that they give the growers in their immediate territory .assist ance in locating and financing pur­ chases of seed w heat •" The Food Administration has an­ nounced to farmers having sound, plump seed wheat that there are no restrictions regarding the sale of such “wheat for planting purposes, either as to purchaser or price. One factor that promises to in- - fluence an increased acreage of wheat' is the policy of the Food Ad­ ministration in giving preferential treatm ent with regard to flour con­ sumption to wheat growers.' Wlieat -producers are allowed to have their entire season’s-suply of flour ground, at one time and are allowed to figure their requirements on* the basis of 1 2 pounds - per person per month, wliereas the voluntary rationing syn* tern for ncm-producers of wheat in .4n£i£and county .is (impounds 4 >er per- •W f 'ppr month: . --TOe Food Administration must , so Administer the food as to keep in health the civilian population of the ■United States and the Allies au<} t.-.

We firmly decided that we coujd go into a spot cash business and elimi­ nate ali our lines except CLOTHING and HATS and do more business than we could with all these lines and a credit business. • The very first saving was $465 00 per month in operating expenses amounting to $5,580.00 per. year, not counting the loss of bad accounts. We wrote every one of our customers telling them that we had firmly de­ cided to make this change and promising them Jo sell them their clothing -and hats fos less money, and we have lived up to that promise and we are selling more clothing than we ever sold in the history of our business. We buy for spot cash and sell for spot cash, and take the cash and turn itover often, keeping it invested in good, honest merchandise instead of slow book accounts. This one change alone enabied us to buv our large winter stojk which we now have on hand, amounting to over $50,000 00. We got' busy away back in 1917 and contracted for plenty of clothing, and by so doing; we saved to the people of this community thousands of dollars.'

TEACHING FLYERS “ STU N TS” A viation Students to Learn the' Acro­ batics Quickly or Not at AU—War Department Compels the Making of Clinical Thermometers. (From Commlttoo on Public InformAtlon.)- Washington.—The acting . secretary of war has approved the recommenda­ tions of General March, chief of staff, to graduate the two upper classes at the United States Military academy on November I, and to'authorize a one- year course at W est Point for the re­ mainder of the war. It is proposed to utilize this valuable and expensive institution, the war department an­ nounces, to the limit during the period of the war. The number of cadets graduated each year from W est Point is now only about 200. Under the new system it will be possible to graduate 1.000 officers a year. Vacancies resulting from the gradu­ ation of tlie two upper classes will be iilled by the war department, if pos­ sible, by the admission on November I, 1918, of qualified candidates. Ap­ pointments will be made, in the usual way—through senators and represent­ atives in congress, and other customary channels. fThe war department de­ sires that candidates to be admitted on November I shall be not under eighteen years of age on that date. As the result of an investigation by the war departm ent following the failure of the medical department to obtain a supply of clinical thermome­ ters except at what were considered exorbitant prices, the general staff has ordered 18 m anufacturers In different parts of the country to furnish about 605.000 of the instruments, which are urgently needed here and abroad. Under these orders the war depart­ ment will not only take the entire stock of clinical thermometers now manufactured, but will require the fac­ tories to produce in large quantities for 20 weeks. The compulsory order specifies that the entire quantity must be delivered by February 10, 1919. The price of clinical thermometers has advanced in the past year from 25 cents and 30 cents to 50 cents and 60 cents each. The investigations of the military authorities disclosed a combi­ nation between the glass-blowers and the makers of thermometers. The prices to be paid by the gov­ ernment for the 6 6 8 ,0 0 0 thermometers which have been requisitioned will be fixed by the. war department board of appraisers. One undertaking in connection with the registration of more than 13,000,- 000 men for the draft, September 12, is illustrated by figures by Provost Marshal General Crowder. A statis­ tician in the provost marshal’s office has calculated that if all the printed forms distributed since August 7 In connection with the work of registra tlon, classification and mobilization were placed in a pile ten feet square it would tower above the ground to a height of 887 feet, or' more than one and a half times the altitude of Wash­ ington monument. - < Altogether there have been printed and shipped out, since August 7, 224,- 0 0 0 ,0 0 0 forms of all kinds, weighing 4.300.000 pounds, and measuring, In the aggregate, 88,787 cubic feet. A total of 44,000 mall sacks were used to carry this vast quantity of m atter. The largest number of sacks shipped In a single day was 1,828. These weighed about 83 tons. If these forms were placed In one mail train 143 60-foot* postal cars would be required and the. train would be one and two-thirds miles long, Placed end to end, the forms would ex­ tend 68,044 miles—more than twice the distance around the earth. Many sample cans of tomatoes such as are used in- the army have been found by the inspection branch of the subsistence division, , quarterm aster corps, to be filled only to three-fourths of an inch of the top, although weigh­ ing the requisite amount. Instructions have been issued that regardless of weight, the cans must be filled to within three-eighths of an inch of the top. If the cans are not filled to with­ in half an inch of the top there Is to be a readjustment of prices and under no circumstances, It is announced, will underfilled cans be sent overseas. It has been calculated that if this saving of three-eighths of. an inch were made In all cans of tomatoes pur­ chased by the army for a year, /It would equal 417.000 cases, costing about $1,500,000. The saving of tin­ plate used In the can would equal about 7.000,000 square feeL German prisoners are being used in the construction of homes for Belgian refugees in the village which the American Red Cross is building near Havre, France, for families who were driven from their country by the Ger­ man Invasion. Many such, prisoners also have .-,been put to work in the fields in the section surrounding Havre. They have harvested wheat and other crops,- thus lessening the burden on the women and very old men who have been operating the farms whilp the young and-vigorous teles are'fighting at the front. M val and military flyers who loop the loop at altitudes of 4 ,0 0 0 feet, who do nose .dives, side slips and other thrilling and seemingly frivolous evo­ lutions. loam to accomplish these feats in seven or eight hours—or tliev’never learn them at ail. For the mastery of airplane acrobatics does not require the time that is requisite to train a performer for a circus. ' Cadet flyers receive this instruction, which is called, the acrobatic stage, to­ ward the end of their training and aft­ er they have become masters of their machines and possess absolute con­ trol. Otherwise they could hot ac­ quire the knack of throwing their ma­ chines in and out of these VrhIrIs and loops. And, by the way, some of them never do. Because a cadet becomes m aster of his plane, it does not inev­ itably follow that he can “stunt.” He may not be fitted for it temperament­ ally ; he may lack the head or the heart or the stomach for it. If that be so, then he must abandon acrobatics. Those who like it stick to It, aud thus it hap, pens that frequently these stunt fly­ ers become the. aces In actual combat in France, because fights in the air are more-'or, less games of tag; and the more artful the dodger the greater, are his chances. The course in acrobatics is not chosen because it is showy or spec­ tacular, It is as much a part of a cadet’s training as pursuit work, re- connnisance or bombing. I t is designed to inspire the. student with confidence in his ship and in his ability; to teach him the feel of dangerous positions in the air; to actually get into them and out of them safely,% and in general to demonstrate to him how much may be accomplished by the proper and skill­ ful Iiandling of his plane. The greatest care is taken in choos­ ing instructors for this work and in selecting the ships or planes to be used. Expgrt riggers are assigned to check the aligment of the planes used after each flight. At Kelly field, Texas, tliere is a special stage for the instruction and to insure safety for the cadets and their instructors. Others not flying In this stage of instruction are required to keep entirely away from the terri­ tory over which the stunts are being performed. A severe penalty is at­ tached to the slightest infringement of this regulation. No student' or' in­ structor is allowed to stunt under 2 ,0 0 0 feet, and practically all of the work in the .acrobatic line is done between 2.000 and 4,000 feet. When a student reports to the stage for instruction, he Is assigned to a teacher who at the first opportunity. takes him and performs the requisite evolutions. The student is then given the.control and directed to repeat the maneuver. After the third or fourth trial he is usually able to perform in a creditable manner. However, In no ,case does the instructor allow a-stu­ dent to fly alone unless he shows him­ self well qualified. When a student is sent into the air he is directed to follow a definite course in’ gaining his altitude; to turn over his sector,' and, if at a sufficient altitude, to do his, stunts. It may be that he will have been directed to do a one-turn spin, a two-turn, spin, five loops and three Immelmann turns. Upon returning to the ground he re­ ports to his instructor, who has care-' fully watched the execution of the stunts and who offers appropriate criti­ cism and suggestions. This is repeated several times, and before the student is transferred he again goes up with the instructor, who estimates whether the former is qualified to advance to the next stage. Troops for the Slavic legion which is to be a part of the United States army will soon be recruited under reg­ ulations just promulgated by President Wilson. The officers and enlisted men in these regiments will be Jugo-Slavs, Ceecho-Slavs and Ruthenlans. If practicable, companies will be com­ posed of members of the sam e-race and this plan of organization will, be followed as far as can be In the larger units—battalions and. regiments. Enlisted men for the Slavic legion will be obtained by voluntary induc­ tion from among the members of the races mentioned. They must be resi­ dents but not citizens of the United States anp not subject to the d raft Enlistments in coal mining regions will not be authorized. Volunteers for this legion will be forwarded by draft boards to depots in the usual manner and will be sent from there to Camp Wadsworth, South Carolina. The weather bureau will publish in its National W eather and Crop Bulle­ tin a series of charts Shovqlng for the country east of the Rocky mountains the southward progression of the earn­ est killlng-frost date line'and the total area covered by klUing frost to the date of each issue. These charts are expected to be of.m uch Interest and value, as they will indicate the time of the ending of the growing season for , summer crops this year Jn the various sections of the ,country. . Much loss is caused, a t times by early frosts and interest is unusually great this year because of the possi­ bility of. frost damage affecting the food supply.

Although on its face the text of the German note seems to be a complete acceptance of President Wilson’s terms, the peope of the United States and the allied countries should be cau­ tioned against accepting it as such a compliance of the president’s demands as will mean immediate cessation of hostilities. As President Wilson was in New York and reserved comment on the note, his views cannot be stated now and none of inis official family here in W ashington cared to speak for him. Should President Wilson finally de­ cide that there is enough sincerity in Germany’s proposition to transm it it to the allies, as the German chan­ cellor requested, it should be borne in mind that Great Britain, France and the other entente nat ions m ost be taken into consideraion for decision to whether an armistice should be granted or whether discussion should be undertaken to carry out- the details Ot the application -of President Wilson’s peace terms. The greatest danger facing the peo­ ple of the United States, officials said here, was that they might hastily con­ sider . Germany’s proposition as the unconditional 'surrender which the co­ belligerents demand nd' relax their ef­ forts to continue the victories a t arms and carry over the fourth Liberty -loan. On every side in official quarters it'w as stated -tha this view of the situ­ ation could not be placed before the public too srongly. SECRETARY OF WAR BAKER . .. .

Our enemies are attempting to change their con­ stitution but appear to have no notion that what we call a change is not so much a change in the formal pur­ pose of the governmnt as a change of hearts whereby that government is to be directed and animated.”. Mr. Balfour said the Germans had shown no m aterial improvement in their dispostion during the four years of the war. “Brutes they were when they began people must sup-! the war. As far as I can judge, brutes transferred by another vessel which picked them up.

The state insurance commissioner, who is supervisor of building and loan associations, would have North Caro­ linians generally realize that they can use the building and loan associations in the purchase of Liberty bonds and in this way more readily perform their patriotic duty in the purchase of every brad they possibly can and derive ad­ ditional benefit themselves and help their local building and loan associa­ tion in investments - in these, war times when so few loans are open to the associations for building. A letter by the commissioner to building and loan associations follows: “Under the present plan of subscrip­ tion of fourth Liberty Loan bonds 10 per cent is paid with the subscription. This leaves 90 per cent to be paid in. installments. Building and loan asso­ ciations can pay the 90 per cent and take a transfer of stock and the bond, allowing the subscriber to pay as he can, or a t furthest by m aturing the stock. In this way worthy patriotic citizens can subscribe for bonds by getting extension of time in which to pay for the privilege only the differ­ ence between the interest on the Lib­ erty bond, 4%, and the amount charg­ ed by the associations.

The apj>eal follows: “The cotton crop is short The -world’s need is great, and today the South’s kingly staple la more precious th an Jason’s golden fleece.

Cambrai Captured and Hunff Defen­ sive Line Smashed, Compelling Gen­ eral Retreat—Yanks Success­ ful In Champagne—Beirut Occupied by the French. By EDWARD W. PICKARD. Prince Max of Baden, the new im­ perial chancellor of Germany, re­ questing President Wilson to arrange for an armistice and a subsequent dis­ cussion of peace terms, and stating that Germany accepted the president’s 14 points as a basis for the negotia­ tions, evoked three separate and' dis­ tinct replies. President Wilson an­ swered that he could not suggest an armistice while the German armies were outside the boundaries of Ger­ many, and then asked whether the, German government accepted the term s laid down by him and whether its object in entering discussions was only to agree upon the practical de­ tails of their application; furthermore, he wanted to know whether the chan­ cellor was speaking merely for the constituted authorities of the empire who have so far conducted the war. The people of all the allied nations, soldiers and civilians alike, answered Frince Max with a tremendous shout of “Unconditional surrender.” Marshal Foch responded with one of the. most powerful attacks of the al­ lied armies, capturing the important city of Cambrai, smashing a 20-mile- wide breach through the Hindenburg line, and forcing back the German armies all along the line from Verdun, to the sea. —t a — I Nearly all authorities agree, that the chancellor’s proposal was Insincere; that the request for an armistice was made merely to give the military com­ mand a chance to reorganize the shat­ tered armies, and that Prince Max knew the suggestion for a peace con­ ference, as he made it, would be re­ jected, giving him the opportunity to say to the people of Germany: “ I have offered to end the w ar on the enemy's own terms and he refuses. The Ger­ man nation now must unitedly fight on.” At first there was some disappoint­ ment because President Wilson did not reject the German proposal swift­ ly and bluntly, but a little considera­ tion has convinced almost everyone that he evaded a trap and by his di­ rect questions put the German dip­ lomats in a -position of the utmost diffi­ culty. At the same time he left the door open for ultim ate negotiations, after Germany has accepted his 14 points and given full guarantees. As lor the armistice, he’did pot agree to that even were , the ,German armies to be withdrawn from all. occupied terri­ tories, recognizing the fact -that the -declaring of ..an., armistice Is up to the military commanders. The presi- dent’s note was. fully approved, prob­ ably .In ,advance,,by .the allied, govern­ ments, and was given the . highest praise by the press In England and France as well as America. — f c — Any agreed cessation of fighting at this time, short of the abject surren­ der of the central, powers, would bit­ terly. -disappoint .the soldiers of the allied armies and the people who are backing them up. Foch’s forces have the Germans op the run, and if they are permitted to follow up the Huns on their retreat , to the Meuse they will destroy a large part of their effective­ ness nnd capture probably half of their material. On the other hand an armis­ tice would permit the Hups to retire within their borders with their armies intact and prepared to maneuver effec­ tively behind their shortened and pow­ erfully fortified lines. Animated by a spirit, not of vindictiveness, but of retributive justice, the men of the al­ lied armies feel that no peace should be granted Germany until her cities, her towns and her people have suf­ fered some of . the horrors of war that her brutal soldiers have inflicted on Belgium, northern France and Serbia. Qhs absolute . unrepentance of the Huns for their outrages is shown by their action In looting and wantonly destroying the towns in France from which they are being driven and in their practice of carrying away with them thousands of the helpless inhab­ itants who are forced to work for them like slaves. The formal warning of France that there would be retribu­ tion for these shameful deeds has been disregarded, and if adequate punish­ ment is not inflicted there will be a general feeling that justice has mis­ carried. President Wilson and his confiden­ tial advisers, it is said, still believe the German people will rise In revo­ lution and oust the Hohenzollern crew, and his inquiry as to whom Prince Max represents is significant in that connection. The chancellor, in his speech to the reichstag, undertook rather feebly J o demonstrate that re­ cent political changes actually'had put the people In power and that he was their representative. But all that was looked on as bunk. The diplomatic situation resolved it­ self down to this: The German gov­ ernment m ust either admit defeat and surrender on allied terms, or it must confess that the chancellor was not acting In good faith. That is the hole in which President Wilson has placed Prince Max and his associates. —HS— The greatest blow delivered by the allied armies last week was between Cambrai and St. Quentin. There Field Marshal Haig’s tireless forces, re-en­ forced by American divisions, tore a 2 0-mile gap through the strongest of Hindenburg’s boasted defenses, cap­ turing dozens of villages and many thousands of prisoners and on Wednes­ day occupied the long and des­ perately defended city of Cambrai. The Huns, in full flight, blew up most Of Cambrai and burned Bohaln, Mar- ctz and many another beautiful town, but the allies did not even stop to ex­ tinguish the flames. The enemy aj>- pdrently was attempting to reconsti­ tute his lines back of the Selle river from Le Cateau to Solesmes, so Haig’s troops, led by the cavalry, pushed rapidly forward and the big guns followed so fast that they kept the Huns always under fire. Only the German machine gunners put up a cred­ itable defense, the riflemen who could be overtaken generally surrendering .wiliingly. Prisoners said the German plan was to retreat to the Valenciennes line and then to the Meuse, and it was evident the retirem ent of the German armies from France was well under way. They will fight all the way hack to their borders, of course, but the country is open and the tanks and cav­ alry of the allies will have dally in­ creasing opportunity to do their part. The Germans still have the strength to maintain a fairly orderly retreat, and if the war Is ended by a m ilitary decision, it is admitted the Huns may be able to postpone that inevitable event for many months. When they do reach the Meuse they, will be be­ hind powerful defenses, but the na­ ture of those defenses is known to the allied commanders, and so. far as the fortifications, there are concerned, the immense sum just asked .of congress ’ for American artillery , may be ,taken to indicate the tremendous concentra­ tion of gunfire..that wilt be used to batter .them to pieces. —I to - While their comrades were helping the British In the great drive In the Cambrai region,- the American First army was exceedingly busy, ,west of the Meuse. For many days the dough­ boys battled their way through the Ar- gonne forest, and at the northern end. of it they went up against a Concen­ tration of Huns gathered for the de­ fense of the KriemhiIde line. Pausing to permit their .artillery to pour a rain of shells .on the German positions for 19 hours, the. Tanks advanced to the attack Wednesday, and by: a bril­ liant-and swift advance broke through the enemy line. To the right of them other troops, forced, their way .through the Cunel wood,. and this made pos­ sible the storming of the Mvmel trench^ of the Kriemhilde position. -The en­ gineers were advancing right along with the infantry, clearing the way through the entanglements. Im portant heights south of the Marcq were cap­ tured, and the Yankees joined hands' VOUR SICK CHILD IS CONSTIPATED' LOOK AT TONGUE HURRY, MOTHER!

East of tire Meuse also the Americans were going forward, and, at the time oi writing, these movements, as well as those all along the line, were still pro­ gressing. These operations iu France were steadily crushing the great German salient whose apex was near Laon, and the French were maintaining a continuous pressure on both sides of that city. They also were compelling the further retirem ent of the Huns who still remained south of the Aisne between Neufcliatel and Vouzieres. The American air service on the front of the F irst army clearly dem­ onstrated its superiority during the week. Huge aggregations of bombing planes continually flew over the en­ emy front lines, communications, back areas and troop concentrations, doing Incalculable damage, while- the. pur­ suit planes kept the air clear of Hun machines. — l a — . The Serbian army kept up the unre­ m itting pursuit of the Austrians in Serbia as the Bulgarians withdrew from that country, or surrendered, ac­ cording to their agreement.’ Before the end of the week the Serbs were quite close to Nlsh and moving ahead steadily. To their west, in Albania, the allied troops made considerable progress. The Italians took Elbdssan after crushing determined resistance by the Austrians, and then continued their advance northward. —t e — Tlie occupation of Beirut by French marines only accentuated the troubles o t. Turkey. The cabinet resigned, af­ ter a peace note wns said to have been started on its way to President Wil­ son, and Tewflic Pasha, it was report­ ed, would be the new grand vizier. His sympathies are rather with the allies, and there is little doubt' the sultan himself' would be mighty glad to get out of the war on the best term s ob­ tainable.- London was convinced Tur­ key had notified Germany it intended to make peace and that the kaiser tried to stave this off by the proposal of the chancellor. —!Bi— Austria-Hungary W as In a condition alm ost. of panic and was nervously awaiting the outcome of Prince Max’s effort. Reports from Vienna said the ministerial council had decided to in­ troduce national autonomy “In order to make President Wilson’s stipulation an accomplished fact.” Among the people.of the empire the movement to proclaim the separation of Hungary and Austria was making great head­ way. Meanwhile the Bohemian lead­ ers were conferring and preparing to declare the independence of their country and its separation from Aus­ tria-Hungary, and, knowing the dan­ gers of such action, made their wills and settled their personal affairs. —Ms— : Boris, who has succeeded to the throne of Bulgaria on the abdication of his father, Ferdinand, adheres to the term s of the surrender made by his armies, and has ordered Germany and Austria to quit his country with­ in a month. Already the rail connec­ tion between Vienna and Constantino­ ple seems to be effectually broken. — t a — Three more "victories” by the mur­ derous German U-boats are to be re­ corded. T heJrish mail boat Leinster, .the, .. Japanese Uner Hirano and the American .cargo steamship Ticonderoga were torpedoed. The total loss of life was ,estim ated,at more th an .900. In the case of the Ticonderoga about 230 were, killed,'m ost of them by shrapnel .fire after the boat had ceased to resist ■ — :fc — One .painful result of- the German peace offensive was the decided slow­ ing up of the campaign for the fourth Liberty loan. Presumably because m any. . short-sighted. people . thought peace was. a t hand and the . money would not be needed, subscriptions to the ,$6,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 loan were distress­ ingly slow in coming in. AU the agen­ cies,. engaged In the campaign re­ doubled their efforts and the American PUbiic was loudly warned that the Hun peace talk must be disregarded and the money m ust be raised. Uncle Sam . needs those 'six billions and he. will get them, and he will need and ,will get much'more, in all probability, before' peace-is declared and the arm­ ies are disbanded. If the people re­ fuse to lend the government all the money It needs, a t a good rate of in­ terest, It has other ways of getting funds, and It will adopt them.

Synopsis.—Fired "by the sinking of the Lusitania, with the loss of American lives, A rthur Guy Empey, an American living in Jersey City, goes to England and enlists as a private In the British arlny. After a short experience as a recruiting officer In London, he is sent, to .train­ ing quarters In France, where he Brst hears the sound of big guns and makes the acquaintance of “cooties." After a brief period of training Empey’s company is sent into the front-line trenches, where he takes his first turn on the fire step while the bullets whiz overhead. Bmpey learns, as comrade falls, that death lurbs always in the trenches. Chaplain distinguishes himself by rescuing wounded men under hot fire. With pick and shovel Empey has experience as a trench digger In No Man’s Land. Exciting experience on listening post detail. Ex­ citing work on .observation post duty. Back in rest billets Empey writes and stages a successful play. Once more in the front trendies, Empey goes “over the top” tii a successful but costly attack on the German lines. Soon afterwards Eimpey- and his comrades repulse a determined gas attack launched by the Germans. CHAPTER XX111—Continued. I shouted to the driver to stop, and Ia his nervousness he put on the brakes. We nearly pitched out head- 8n t. But the applying of those brakes saved our lives. The next instant there was a blinding flash and a deaf- fnlng report AU that I remember is that I was flying through the air, and wondering if I would land In a soft spot Then the lights went out. When I came to, Aiwell was pouring water on my head out of his bottle. On the other side of the road the cor­ poral was sitting, rubbing a lump on his forehead with his left hand, while Us right arm was bound up in a blood- soaked bandage. He was moaning very loudly. I had an awful ,headache sod the skin on the left side of my face was fuil of gravel and the blood was trickling from my nose. But that ambulance was turned over In the ditch and was perforated with holes from fragments of the shell. One ot the front wheels was slowly revolv­ ing, so I could not have been “out” for t long period. The shells were still screaming over­ head, but the battery had raised its fire and they were bursting In a little wood about half a mile from us. Atwell spoke up. ‘I wish that offi­ cer hadn’t wished us the best o’ luck.” Bien he commenced, swearing. I couldn’t help laughing, though my head was nigh to bursting. Slowly rising to my feet I felt myself »11 over to make sure that there were do broken bones. But outside of a few bruises and scratches I was all right. !Rie corporal was still moaning, but more from shock than .pain. A shell splinter had gone through the flesh of ids right forearm. Atwell and I, from wt first-aid pouches, put a tourniquet on his arm to stop the bleeding and then gathered up our equipment. We realized that we were In a dan­ gerous spot At any minute a shell might drop *n the road and finish us off. The village we had left was not Tery far, so we told the corporal he had better go back to it and get his arm dressed, and.then report the fact of the destruction of the ambulance to the military police. He was well able to walk, so he set off in the direction of the village, while Atwell and I con­ tinued our way on foot. Without further mishap we' arrived at our destination, and reported to bri­ gade headquarters for rations and bil­ lets. That night we slept in the battalion •ergeant major’s dugout. The next morning I went to a first-aid post and had the.gravel picked out of my face. The instructions we received from 41 TiElon headquarters read that we were out to catch spieB, patrol trenches, m rch German dead, reconnoiter in No Han's Land, and take part in trench raids and prevent the robbing of the 4ead. ■ I had a pass which would, allow me to go anywhere a ta n y time In the sec­ tor of the line held by .our division. It gave, me authority to stop .and search ambulances, motor lorries, wagons and even .officers and soldiers, whenever my suspicions deemed It .necessary. Atwell and I were allowed to- work tor getter or singly—it was left to our Judgment. We decided to team op. AtweU was a good companion and very entertaining. H e had an niter contempt for danger, but w as, not fool- ilSrdy. At swearing he was a wonder. A cavalry regiment would have been proud of him. Though bom in Eng­ land, he had spent several years in New York. He was about six feet one, *nd as strong as an ox. We took up our quarters In a large flnKout of the royal engineers, and mapped out our future actions. This Sngout was on Uie edge of .a large cemetery, and several times a t night returning to it, we got many a fall Jhnnbling over the graves of English; •ranch and Germ ans.. Atwell on these Jfcaslons never Indulged In swearing, tBsUgli at any otter timet a t too least stumble, he would turn the air blue. A certain section of our trenches was held By the Hoyal Irish rifles. For several days a very strong rumor went the rounds that a German spy was In our m idst.' This spy was supposed to be dressed in the uniform of a British staff officer. Several stories had been told about an officer wearing a red band around his cap, who patrolled the front-line and communication trenches asking suspicious questions as to loca­ tion of batteries, nftchine-gun emplace­ ments, and trench mortars. If a shell dropped in a battery, on a machine gun or even near a dugout, this spy was blamed:’ T ie rum or gained such strength that an order was Issued for all troops to immediately place under arrest anyone answering to the description of the spy. Atwell and I were on the qui viv'e. We constantly patrolled the trenches at nlglit, and even In the day, but the spy always eluded us. One day while in a communication trench, we were horrified to see our brigadier general. Old Pepper, being brought down it by a big private of the Boyal Irish rifles. The general was walking in front, and the private with fixed bayonet was following in the rear. We saluted as the general passed us. The Irishman had a broad grin on his face and we could scarcely believe our eyes—the general was under arrest. After passing a, few feet beyond us, the general turned, and said in a wrathful voice to Atwell: “Tell this d—n fool who I am. He’s arrested me as a spy.” Atwell ‘was speechless. The sentry butted In with : “None o’ that gassin’ out o’ you. Back to headquarters you goes, Mr. Fritz. Open that face o’ yours again, an* PU dent In your napper with the butt o’ me rifle.” The general’s face was asight to be­ hold. H e was fairly boiling over with rage, but he shut up. Atwell tried to get in front of the sentry to explain to him that it really was the general he had under arrest, but the sentry threatened to run his bayonet through him, and would have done it, too. So Atwell stepped aside, and remained silent I was nearly bursting with suppressed laughter. One word, and I would have exploded. It is not exactly diplomatic to laugh at your general in such a predicam ent The sentry and his prisoner arrived at brigade headquarters with disas­ trous results to the sentry. The Joke was that the general had, personally issued the order for the spy’s arrest. It was a habit of the gen­ eral to walk through the trenches on rounds of Inspection, unattended by any of his staff. The Irishman, being new In the regim ent bad never seen the general before, so when he came across him alone in a communication trench,, he promptly put him under ar­ re st Brigadier generals wear a red band around their caps. Next day we passed the Irishman tied to the wheel of a limber, the'be­ ginning of bis sentence of twenty-one days,- field punishment No. I. Never before have I seen such a woebegone .expression on a man’s face. For several days, AtweU and I made ourselves scarce around brigade head­ quarters; We did not want to meet the general, The spy was never caught. CHAPTER XXIV. The Firing Squad. ■ A few days later I had orders to re­ port back to divisional headquarters, about thirty kilos behind the line. I reported to the A. P. M. (assistant pro­ vost m arshal). He told me to report to billet No. 78 for quarters and ra­ tions. It was about eight o’clock at night and I was tired and soon fell asleep In the straw of the billet It was a !mis­ erable night outside cold, and a drlzzly rain was falling About two in (lie morning I wna awakened by some one shaking me by the shoulder. ’ Opening my eyes I saw a regimental sergeant- major bending over me He had a lighted lantern in his right hand. I started to ask him what was the matter, when he put his finger to his lips for silence and whis­ pered : * “Get on your equipment, and, with­ out any noise, come with me." • This greatly mystified me, but I obeyed his order. Outside of. the billet I asked him what was up, but he shut me up with: ' “Don’t ask questions, it’s again&t or­ ders. I don’t know myself.” It was raining like the mischief." We splashed along a muddy road for about fifteen minutes,.finally stopping a t the entrance of what must have been an old barn. In the darkness, I could hear pigs grunting, as if they had just been disturbed. In front ;of the door stood an officer in a. mack, (mackintosh). The B. S. M. went up to him, whispered something, and then left. -This ofBcer called to* me, asked my name, number and regiment, , at the same tiia-i.ln the ligbt of a lantern he was holding, making a notation' In a little book. ‘ When he had finished .writing, he whispered: “Go into that billet and wait orders, and no talking. Understand?” ' I stumbled into the barn and sat on the floor in the darkness. I could see no one, but could hear men breathing and moving; they seemed nervous and restless. I know I was. During my wait, three other men entered. Then the officer poked his head in the door and ordered: “Fall in, outside the billet, in single rank.” We fell in, standing at ease. Then he commanded: “Squad—’Shun! Number I” There were twelve of us. ( “Right—T urn! Left—iWheel! Quick —M arch!” And away we went. The rain was trickling down my back and I was shivering from the cold. With the ofllcer leading, we must have marched over an hour, plowing through the mud and occasionally stumbling into a shell hole in the road, when suddenly the officer made a left wheel, and we found ourselves In a sort of enclosed courtyard. The dawn was breaking and the rain had ceased. In front of us were four' stacks of rifles, three to a stack. The oflicer brought us to attention and gave the order to unplle arms. We each took a rifle. Giying us “Stand at ease,” in' a nervous and shaky'voice, he inf6 rm ed: ' 3 “Men, you are here on ai very solemn duty. You have been selected as a firing squad for the execution of a sol­ dier, who, having been -found guilty of a. grievous crime against king and I Photowura Newtpabcr -Unio Buried With Honors. country, has been regularly and duly tried and sentenced to be shot at 3 :28 a. m. this date. TKs sentence has been approved by the reviewing authority and ordered carried out. It is our duty to carry on with, the sentence -of the court. “There are twelve rifles, one of which contains a blank cartridge, .the other eleven containing ball cartridges. Every man is expected to do his duty and fire to kill. Take your orders from me. Squad—’ShuS\!” . We cgme to attention. Then he left. My heart was of lead and my knees shook. Empey, In the next Install­ ment, tells the gripping story of a ‘'coward," whose streak of yel­ low turned white. (TO BE- COSTINUEiD.) Inculcating the Spirit. It was holiday week, but a mother and child had mimaged somehow to get a whole seat on the car. ' Sudden­ ly the Uttle girl slid off the seat, and facing her mother, cried out with anguish In her childish voice: “Oh mother, I forgot to git anything fer teacher.” ; ‘‘Well, what uv it?” the mother an­ swered tartly. “She didn’t git nothin’ fer you,” and she sat the child down hard on the seat, partly to keep the woman In the aisle from taking any privileges, and partly, perhaps-to Im­ press on the child.the Christmas spirit she saw it. Still on the Job. “The old-fashioned door-knocbef seems to have gone out of style,” r* marked the Observer-of Events anrf ThfngBl “but, don’t make any mistaS* opportunity I* otUl on th* tob." , + In the m atter of wearing mourning for relatives who have given their lives, for their country there are two opin­ ions. One is that It is inadvisable to wear black because it depresses other people. We ‘must not ask others to mourn with us, or even remind them of mourning. The other is that a proper respect for the dead almost compels a period of mourning apparel. It is a m atter wHIch each one m ust think out for herself. The Red Cross has adopted a substitute for the usual mourning and the last bulletin of the central division has this to say: “The American Red Cross will pro­ vide the mourning brassards to be worp by relatives of men who have given their lives to their country, ac­ cording to an announcement made by the war council. These brassards, which are to be used in lieu of gen­ eral mourning, were suggested and de­ signed by the woman’s committee of the council of national defense, the idea being heartily indorsed by Presi­ dent Wilson in a letter Ue sent to the woman’s committee. They will be fur­ nished free to the parents or widows of men who have died in' the service and at cost to other members of the fam­ ily. “The brassard, which is to be worn on the left sleeve, midway between el­ bow and shoulder, is a band of black broadcloth or other material three inches wide on the surface of which the; regulation m ilitary star is em­ broidered in gold thread. The num- bei1 of stars on a brassard will denote the extent of the sacrifice made by each family. “The brassards will be. made and distributed by the chapters of the Red Cross working in conjunction with lo­ cal units of the woman’s committee of the council of national defense. An Initial supply of materials for the manufacture of the mourning emblems has been purchased by the .Red Cross •and will beforw arded to the 14 divi­ sions of the organization for distribu­ tion through their chapters. It is ex­ pected that the first of the brassards will be ready for distribution about th e. middle of September. A brief statement accompanying the announce^ ment says: - “ ‘In adopting this insignia the wom­ an’s committee desired tliat it should never be commercialized, ;but that it should always be possible for the .members of the fandlles.of those who Save made the supreme sacrifice to prepare for themselves 'this badge of honor.’ ” . , FortheFaIIB ride, A gift which will remind th$ HtUe bride ' who undertakes • to funiish a home In wartim e.that Mr. Hoover has his eye on her, is a bread bag. It is made of sturdy cotton; an unbleqched muslin woulcl do well. Into-It the' scraps of bread left from the table are put and are kept comparatively fresh for use at the next meal or for bread puddings or bread crumbs.

These new ones for winter hang in severely straight lines from shoulder to hem, and they do not show the additional underskirt with which they were provided last season. Some of them are plaited In fine accordion plaits and others’are prBvlded with extra applied and floating panels at the sides o f. the skirts. As for the belts, they are mostly made of very thin strips of the material from which the gown Is constructed, and they are tied loosely to confine; the gown in some semblance of a waistline. Satin. Footwear. High black satin booits, for house wear, are true leather savers.. They are really very smart. They lace snugly about the ankles and are made with Frendi heels and moderate points. Oxfords of ,black satin also laced, are another autdmh specialty in the shoe shops. These are especially pretty for informal house wear in the afternoon. HOWTO BmeiiE and Told by M rs.

Now .that fall is here some1 on« of those, clever people who think up our headwear was inspired with the happy idea of substituting velvet or voiveteen or broadcloth for tulle—and, we have a chic and youthful \vinter hat wit-i a cozy scarf attachm ent It is a novelty and becoming. Moreover, the scarf is very practical, and we may see this combination developed In sev­ eral ways. The odd and pretty hat in the picture, has a narrow brim . and side crown covered with sapphire blue and gray biocade in satin. The crown is a puS Of blue-velvet and the scarf is of vel­ vet lined 'with satin. It is tacked to the brim at the right back and wraps about the throat, the ends failing—one to the back, over the shoulder. There are two small bead tassels on each end of thci scarf.,, - This, coquettish model happens to be made of velvet with brocade, but broadcloth or duvetyn would suit even better for It, using either brocade or fur for the brim. It has something I of tbe rollicking character of the‘‘blue devil” tam in which mlilinery artists delight and make iis wonder that it can be interpreted In so many ways. Rich materials, lend it dignity and the same is true of the scarf hat shown above. 3» On the Brim of Your Hat.

Inspection proved again how very effective absurdly sim­ ple things can be: Mercerized cotton did it. Chinese blue, orange purple, green and black were used this way: A simple o,ver-and-over stitch made; the binding, a solid two Inches of the circumference done, in the blue, the next in purple, .then green, then black; and s,6 on all-the way round the hat. A pretty variation of this form of trim­ ming would be to use. a blanket stitch instead of the simpler over-an-over. Then straight strands of the cotton might be wrapped round and round the crown to simulate a band. W. N. U., CHARLOTTE, NO. 42-1918- PRACTICAL IDEA OF HEAVEN Jimmy Could Think of Nothing Bet­ ter Than Place of Solid Comfort. ‘ and Perfect Security. Two little brothers In the country shared a huge feather bed. There was a nightly scramble as to who .should be. first to bed, so as to got tbp choice place “at the back,’’ protected by the wall and by the sleeping brother "in front.” “In front”, was regarded risky, for one never knew -what night some terrible creature might come along and carry oiff .the front steeper. One cold, stormy night the following conversation was overhesrd, after a period .of quiet, in wn!ch it was- thought that the boys were asleep: “Jimmy,” said Bud, whose voice- had a comfortable at-the-bacU-of-the- bed sound, "what do you think heaven is UkeTV "Why I think,” and Jimmy’s timid voice had a trembling, yoarning tone In It, **i think, heaven Is like, a great big, nice ,festher bed; with room for everybody in it, and qobody has' to sleep'in front.” Queen Wllhelmlna of Holland cares less ..for travel, than any other' Eu­ ropean sovereign.

Advisable to Start Swine Gradually Before Turning Them Into Field of Corn--Alfalfa Is Best of AU Green Forage. (Prepared by the United States Depart­ ment. ol Agriculture.) Hogging off corn has been tested thoroughly a t several agricultural ex­ periment stations and by practical hog raisers, and the practice Is strongly- recommended. Corn alone , is not satisfactory hog i ration. W here-the crop; is to be hogged off,- some other crop should' be combined. with it. Pumpkins seeded at the same time as the corn, soy beans or cowpeas seeded In the same or In alternate rows with the corn,- and rye, rape or soy beans seeded a t the iast working of the corn have all been used with satisfactory results. Grain Ration Needed. W ith one of these, combinations no other grain ration- Is needed, but if there is no other forage growing In the cornfield some concentrate, such as tankage, cowpea meal or middlings, should be fed. It is advisable to start the hogs gradually for a few days, with n little green corn before turn­ ing them Into a field of corn to hog it off. The corn is ready for grazing whea the grain is dented' or glazed. It will take about one month for four­ teen to sixteen hogs weighing* 150 pounds each to hog oft an acre of corn which would yield 35 bushels. It is not advisable to let the hogs have ac­ cess at any tim e to more thau they will clean up in ten days. Alfalfa Is Best.' Alfalfa is perhaps the best of all. green forages for hogs. It starts growth ?arly in the spring. If kept MODERN HIVES BESl FOR CROP OF HONEV Movable Frames Will Greatly In* crease Owners’ Profits.

HAVE SU PPO R T OF SEEDM EN American Association Will Co-operate to Encourage Increased Produc­ tion to Win War. (Prepared by the-United States Depart­ment of Agriculture.) The w ar program for food produc­ tion is to receive the active support of seedmen throughout the ' nation. The American Seed'Trade association recently In session.. In Chicago has pledged its support in acommunicatlon to Secretary H ouston.. Its resolution says that the association, "realizing the urgent - and < extraordinary, need exist­ ing for tremendously increased produc­ tion of seeds on account of the devas- . tation wrought by. the war In the p rln -, jp W + M M M il'W M W * dpal European producing centers and * UP TQ T H F PARMPR the almost prostrated condition of- H n iiicn transportation, preventing distribution/ | (Preparea by the Un!tea States De. and further realizing fully the pro- T partment of Agriculture.) found obligation thrown upon us, do I H “food will win the war," It hereby renew to the president of the ! * has to be produced first, and Bee Hives Placed in a Good Location. were transferred' to movable frame hives and handled by improved meth­ ods. If all' the beekeepers now using box hives would adopt the modern type of movable fram e hive they would add many millions of pounds of honey to the nation’s supply. Mach of the honey produced by colonies in box hives is wasted by crude methods Cf securing the crop, and these col' onies are reduced in earning value by uncontrolled swarming, and by the annual loss of bees which die in win­ ter because of lack of protection and sufficient food stores. W hile bees may be transferred at any season when they are active, the best time is during the season of freit- bloom when the combs' contain little honey, and when the bees will gather necta^ rather than rob honey from a hive which Is being transferred. An­ other good tim e for transferring is immediately after the first swarm of the year when the -number of bees in the hlVe Is greatly, reduced, and -when there is no danger of losing or injuring the queen. £he goes with the swarm, leaving queen cells iff the hive. ,Transferring when robber ’ bees are active requires that the work be done inside a screened or bee-tight build­ ing. There -are five methods of trans­ ferring. One consists in cutting the combs from the box .hive and placing them in a new movable fram e hive, and transferring the bees by shaking or drumming them from the old hive. Another way Is to drum the bees out and move them to new hives which have' been previously provided with full sheets of comb-foundation. The third method consists In catching the swarm as It issues from the-old hive and lpimedlately putting it In-the new hive placed on the old stand. In the fourth method the new hive containing comb-foundation is placed pn the old OUej and an opening for the, bees pro­ vided between . the two. The fifth method requires a little special equip­ ment, and takes advantage of the fact that in some localities the bees are almost sure to swarm. Place the new hive near the old one and provide it. with 6 queen'trap near the entrance in- such a way that when the bees swarm the- qtieen will be caught, and the worker bees automatically will enter the new hive. These methods are described In detail in a new Farm ­ ers Bulletin, No., 961, which will be sent free, so long' as -the supply lasts, on application to. the U nited.

S.” The Inflaenzia Sitnation in Davie. The Spanish influenzia epidemic is still spreading throughout the coun­ ty. It is impossible to tell how many cases have developed since last week. There are.and have been about one hundred cases in and around Mocks- ville. Up to Monday only two cases of pneumonia had developed in the town, and the majority of those wh6 had the ''flu,” were getting along fine. The disease seems to be rapid­ ly spreadidg in the rural districts. Thereare a good maiiy cases at Cooleemee and Cana. There are possibly four hundred cases in the county,, The diseas’e appeared here nearly four weeks ago. Several of the cases came in from other towns and cities, which helped to spread the disease The'-County Board of Health nor the Town Fathers have quarantined the homes of those who have the disease, and the result is that new cases continue'to develop. Up to this.time no deaths have been reported in the county. In many other sections scores are dying; Our local physicians are kept on the go at all hours. It is hoped that the worst is over in this section ' AU persons who have been exposed to this disease, should' use -every, pre­ caution to prevent spreading it. The War Not Over. .

WHOLE NATION MOVES TO BANISH SOLITUDE Our Heroes Are Calling From Over There—Give What You Can to Help Those From Home. Every citizen Interested In the boys of IiIs home town now at the front, aud Jn the brave women who equally are serving their country abroad, has an opportunity to show his appreciation of the sacrifice they are making. Xhe opportunity comes aa a result of the generosity and thought of Colonel WiI- Iiam Boyce Thompson of New York, who has conceived and .put Into execu­ tion what is known as the Home Pu- per Service. Under the plan, every man and wo­ man in foreign service will receive the town newspaper, and so be kept In constant touch with the places and the people they know and love. Every branch , of the United States Government is interested In the plan. The Government realizes the impor­ tance of keeping those In the service happy ,!.and constantly [n touch with their home ties and associations. Noth­ ing is more depressing in a national emergency than the spirit of loneliness in those serving their country, and of­ ficials know that nothing can dispel this feeling more effectually than read­ ing the home town newspaper. Publishers of newspapers In all parts of the country—this newspaper Includ­ ed—have grasped with pleasure the plan outlined by Colonel Thompson, and they have agreed to co-operate In every way. Under the ruling of the War Indus­ tries Board newspaper publishers are forbidden to send their newspapers free, even to soldiers. The newspaper mnst be subscribed for In the regular way, the only exception being soldiers who formerly were in the employ of the newspaper and who left that'serv­ ice to enlist Colonel Thompson there­ fore proposes that the public In each community contribute Io a fund so that the home newspaper (in our case this newspaper) may reach every man and woman now in the service of bis coun­ try. Anyone may contribute to the fuoa, and any sura may be contributed. It is not necessary to contribute the entire amount of one subscription. U does not matter whether the rich man sends In one hundred dollars or Uie poor boy. or little girl sends In five cents. Each gift will be a message of love and help­ fulness to the home town folks “Over There.”' The money will be lumped into one fund, out of *wh!cli subscrip­ tions will be entered as fast as the money Is received. . Contributors who send In the full price of a year's subscription may, if they wish, designate to what particular person they wish the newspaper sent, but if the name given is already listed as receiving the paper, then the pub­ lisher reserves the right to apply .the subscription to some'less fortunate sol­ dier boy or noble woman who Is just, as lonely for news of home and home folks. The name of every contributor to this home paper service will be pub­ lished In this newspaper, and the name of everyone entered for a subscription will, be published as well as .the num­ ber of those remaining whose subscrip­ tions have not been covered. If the amount' of money received shall be more than Is necessary to send the paper to every person from the town now. In the service, then the bal­ ance will be turned over to the I?e3 Cross. . The plan is endorsed by the pub­ lisher of this newspaper without any thought of profit, either directly or In­ directly, but with a sincere desire to help keep the home fires burning and to send to our heroes and heroines news of our town, to keep their hearts warm for us and to let them know they are constantly In Our minds. The publisher, of course, cannot make a profit on circulation, and addi­ tional Orcniatiob such as this will be— circulation from non-purchasers sent far across the sea—can have no added value to the advertiser. These facts are stated so that every contributor may feel’ that every cent contributed goes to the good cause.

From Coast to Coast and. from the Gulf to the Great Lakes, Taniae H cnown and honored.

Statesville Sentinel. •' -. Hon Frank A.. Linney, Kepubli can nominee for Congress from thiN district, spoke to a fair crowtI of representative voters of Iredell ciiuiity at the court house Saturday afternoon. Mr. Lintiey is one of the most entertaining and intellectual speak era in' the state and his speech was enjoyed both by Repnblicans and Democrats. His f-pecch was about evenly di­ vided between politics and patriot­ ism and his opponent, Mr. Dough- tou, ran a second in .criticism to his ioriuer .opponent,. Governor Bickett. Mr. John M. Sharpe, RepubV• can Ohairaiaa-. after announcing the fact that the registration books are open each Saturday during this month and urging all not re gistered to do so, introduced the speaker. Mr. Linney paid Iredell county a high compliment and stated'that he had always held the people ol this, the greatest county in the state, in the highest esteem oi iriendship. ‘‘It is impossible to adjourn po litics” declared U r. Linheyl -‘re­ gardless of the,fact that our gov ernor at one time talked this dop- tiine. Mr. LiDney declared that the teaching of politics and the poli tical training ot the people of thib nation was the greatest training in tbe world. “ Germany,” he de­ clared, ‘‘was about to get the best ot France and Eogland through her political treachery,. but this nation soon asserted her superior it? along this line over the Hun.'” The speaker spent a few' mo- mtnts calling attention to the fact that Governor Biekett had stated in his inaugural address that while the public schools of North Caro Iina were supposed to be beyond tbe sphere of politics, y^t it was in tbe worst Iorm of politics. “ It the governor had stated this be* fore the election, I might have been elected,” Mr, Liuqey stated Mi. Lionej reiterated his former speeches upon tbe school question and said that he was in favor of giving every boy and girl iu Noith Carolina an equal chance for an i rtueatioD, regardless of th.e>. com inanity in which he lived. He also called attention to the fact that a few North Carolina offi­ cials bad held office for twenty years aud reviewed the fact that Bukett bad stated this fact also in Lis address. ' : ' ■■ Mr. Linney declared that he had always tried to stick to facts and could return and face the peo­ ple after each election and not have to apologize for things said in a former election. He reviewed the iact that the Deuiucratic party told the people that to elect a DemoOratic .govern tr.eut would be to keej> th e ir: boys at home and prevent war, white to el(tt a . Republican governmen would be equivalent to declaring war, almost. Now, ha declared, the Democrats are preaching and talking: war, but a convert always hollers louder than a man that needs no conver­ sion, the speaker said. “ The Eflr publicans have always been patri­ otic and needed so conversion,” Mr. Liuney averred I Tbe speaker paid' high’, tribute to tbe American form ol*-govern 1Ueut aud stated that with the f ‘rm of government how . holdibg i.onh iIn Eurbpe ever;? thii|$ gei§S- ration was sacrificed on thfe battle­ fields. j ' I ^ Air. Liuoey rehearsed the' inab- uer in which tbe congressiorial.dis­ tricts aie divined, maintaining that 120,000 Republican voters -in Korth Carolina are deprive&of r£ .Piesentation in the Fedtralgoyetn- _y districts. Mr. Linney declared- that tbe constitution held that con gressional districts should be forib in compact form, while the North Carolina districts were laid out so a« to take in the most Desuo crats aud leave out the most Re publicans. He pleaded for a pure Democra in North Carolina like that which is being fought for upon the battlefields of-France, aud expres- d the opinion that when the boys came back home they would de­ maud a higher and more loftier Democracy. The speaker was in' favor of aking Germany pay the bill and said that ii-stead of “ Made in Ger- l!t«i>er Iaj Ing out6r'1i6bgi^ion§i «iajSiSSsSifelTOBB8 uianj” being printed on every­ thing, he wanted to see on every American bond printed “ To Be' Paid In Germany.” Mr. Poughton was attacked for opposing the bill which granted to soldiers a salary of $30 per month. Mr. Linney' stating that he would have auppoited any bilt that gave more pay to the soldier boys. His talk was closed with an ap peal for everybody to buy Jwnds to defeat the Hun. Throughout his speech there was no trace of bitterness or criticism Of the national administration and all were urged to be patriotic and help to bring about a quick aud. lasting peace and to not only force Germauy to the Rhine, but to the peaee table where an American made peace would have to be signed.

After using it for a few days ail signs of bron chial trouble disappears.” Assertion And Answer. Says Korth Carolina’s Superin­ tendent of Public Instruction: “ Every effort is made to keep partisan politicis out of the public schools ol the state aud I believe they are as tree from such iniiuen' ces as tho;e of any other states in the United States.” Hoii. Geo. E. Butler, of Clinton* Noitb Carolina, analyzes the school situation in his state aud asserts:■ . '1Wbile -the Democratic State Executive Committee does uot In fact, appoint or approve the school teachers of the state, it does how ever, by providing this Demociatic machine, and through the County Esecutive Committees, set them a'' chinery iu motion and controls the school officials of the state, wliich in its final analysis .is a Democratic machine aud a creature of Demo cratie partisan politics. , ‘ “The office of the State Superin­ tendent of PubHc Instruction is headquarters . for this political mauipulation, and the State Super­ intendent himself is the, Czir.— American '.Economist.

I suffered from continual headache, was unable to digest my food, which seemed to lay as a dead weight on my stomach. I was very constipated and my complex­ ion became dark, yellow andTOuddyas I feit. Sleeplessness was added to my misery, and I would awake as tired when I went to sleep. I heard of Cham­ berlain’s Tablets and found such relief after taking them that I kept up the treat­ ment for nearly two months.''

Col., August 7,19!8. BY RICHARD H. EDMONDS. Editor Manufacturers’ Record, The glorious news which comes from France, telling of how our troops and those of our allies have beaten back the arniy of invaders who have cursed every foot of ground over which.they have trod, may well give h e a r t to the nation and to all civilization. It would, however, be a ser­ ious mistake for us to imagine that this means the ending of the war, for it does not. We are along way from Berlin, and until the American flag flies over Berlin as a corquered city, and the terms of 1Peace are written there, and the Hohenzollerns. the Hapsburgs and their leaders in this world horror have paid with their own-lives the penalty for their unspeak­ able crimes, it would be premature to do much shouting. The fight is yet a long and desperate one. We may rest assured that before our troops cross the Rhine and break down the barriers ahead of us there will be fearful losses, and we sha'l have to steel our hearts to a full realization of the magnitude of the task. Germany, the blackest criminal in the world’s history, will, thru every influence which it can exert in this and every other country, seek to secure peace whenever its military leaders find that they are doomed. We shall have peace talk from many papers—some moved by pro German influence, some bv sickly neurotic sentiment against punishment of crime—and wher­ ever pro German deviltry can carry on its work we may rest assured it will t.e done, for many men. claiming the livery of Heaven, will be en­ gaged in the work of the devil. Many will seek to create an impression that Germany must not be punished and its people are different from its military leaders, when every intelligent man who has studied the situation now knows that the people and the military leaders are one and the same in the support of this war The unspeakable individual crimes which marked the movement of the German armv thru Belgium and France, crimes which blacken the. pages of human history as they were never blackened in the past; crimes, to recount which Secretary Lansing recently said “ would sicken a tiger,” were not committed individually by the Kaiser or the military leaders, but by the people themselves in the armies of Germany, encouraged there­ to by the military-leaders as a part of Germany’s Campaign of Frightful­ ness. Thesepeoplemustbe m adetorealizethatsin must be ppnished and that crime must be atoned for, or else the blood of the millions of soldiers who have died will have been shed in vain and the broken heart­ ed women who have suffered as no other women in all human history, will go unavenged. The great danger which faces this country today is that there will be a persistent effort to bring about a premature peace; a peace without pun­ ishment, which, if ever made, would be a deep stain on the honor and chivalry of this nation The nation which condones international crime is akin to the criminal, as the individual who condones crima becomes in effect a participator in the immorality of the criminal It behooves every honest-hearted man and weman in this country to make certain that neither in the pulpit nor in the press nor in private con­ versation shall there be the lightest word said in favor of peace until that peace is written.in Berlin, after the criminals have paid the full measure CarI-CraWord Dead.

Likewise the enemy is being forced to concede defeat by retrograde movements be­ fore the British and Americans south­ east of Cambrai --under attacks of the French in the pocket between the Oise and Serre rivers north of Iaon, and by reason of continued strong at­ tacks by the French and Americans In Champagne and along the Meuse river. Nowhere, however, is the enemy in disorder.

The battle here the Americans, and the Germans too, has been from street to street and; fought with a fierceness, stubborn­ ly provided safeguards and guarantees that Germany’s part will not be a scrap of paper. This is in a few words is the presi­ dent’s answer. If it does not bring a capitulation which may be more than uncondltonalhouse to house, and large numbers ! ness and tenacity utterly belying any surrounder, allied diplomats and Amer- of the enemy have been killed. Some: belief that their part in-peace is a Belgian forces have swept around the • matter of the near futurff. The Amer- city in .order to cut the roads at the ioans are almost unanimous that the rear and also to assist in bottling up German proposals are insincere, and REPORTS THAT SUBMARINES ARE ORDEREED BACK TO BASES the enemy trying to hold but in the city itself. - The Germans had placed machine guns in the windows of houses and cellars and fired murderous streams of bullets into the advancing Bel­ gians. but were unable to stop them. The Belgians fought with a dogged determination such as only troops I fighting to regain their outraged coun- I try could display. Nothing could stop j them. Amsterdam.—The Handelsblad pub­ lishes with reserve a report that the German admiralty has issued wireless instructions to all submarines to re­ turn to their bases. Dispatches from Berlin indicate a strong anti-Wilson tendency, not only iu military quarters, but’also in those which have favored peace. For example, Herr Gothein, a mem­ ber of the reichstag, writing in The Zeiutung Am Mittag, declares Presi­ dent Wilson, has given a death blow to the idea of a league of nations. His CAPITULATION OF KAISER IS RUMORED EVERYWHERE Washington.—Unconfirmed rumors are in the air that Germany has cap- ituated and that Emperor WiUiam has abdicated. The rumors emanated from Dutch and Swiss sources, but as yet.the German government has not officially informed dither the Wash­ ington or London governments of its intention to concede in their entirety the conditions or a cessation of hos­ tilities as laid down by President Wil­ son. that whether sincere or not the en­ emy must be severely punished. Many with whom the correspondent talked during a tour of the most active por­ tions of the front, seemed to take the attitude that they had perhaps only a little time in which to strafe the en­ emy and wanted to make the most of it. Despite the rain which streamed down all day from low hanging clouds, the American aviation corps again performed wonderful work in assisting the infantry, flying constant­ ly at an altitude below 600 meters. The aviators efficiently directed bat­ tery work, made reconnaissances, kept the infantry in liaison with head­ quarters and brought in valuable in­ formation.

The dispatch ’of the president’s re­ ply was followed by the issue of this formal statement at the White House by Secretary Tumulty: “The government will continue* to send over 250,000 men with their sup­ plies every month and there will be no relaxation of any kind.” Quite outside of the formal phrases of a diplomatic document that was President Wilson’s word to the world that he had no thought of stopping the fighting at this stage. The senate chamber rang with ap plause of senators as the pr !dent’s answer was read a few minutes after it had been announced at the state department.

Kinston.—Cotton, knitting, silk and tobacco mills have suspended to re­ main closed until October 21, by order of the health department. Hundreds were thrown out of employment. Oth- jobs for all., The statement Is too sweep­ ing, says the Portland Oregonian, but there is truth In it. A good many do not “stick” who ought to do so. They ought, in the first place, to cultivate the habit of sticking. Some day jobs may not be so common, and it will sur­ prise some of the wandering ones to find that they have not learned enough about any one trade to make them val­ uable to any employer. The young man who is doing one thing today and an­ other the day after tomorrow is over­ looking the chnnce" to establish himself In a career, and he is breeding in him­ self the spirit of dissatisfaction which will make it hard for him to be happy in all the years to come. IJothing can be said against quitting one job for a better one; ambition ought to be en­ couraged ; but the worker ought ’ to bo sure himself that the change is for the better and not merely for the sake of change.

QUOTA SOLD LESS THAN THREE MONTHS IN : WHICH TO COMPLETE THE STATE ALLOTMENT. DISPATCHES FROM RALEIGH Doings and Happenings That Mark the Progress of North Carolina Peo­ ple, Gathered Around the State Capital. Raleigh. The sale of War Savings Stamps in North Carolina for the month of Sep­ tember amounted to $2,519,414. This makes the total sales of the State to October I, $17,021,401, or a per capita sale of $7.08. The total amount of sales and pledges is $36,998,222 which is 76 per cent of the State War Sav­ ings quota. In other words, the State has raised three-fourths of its quota in sales and pledges and has less than three months to raise the fourth. North Carolina, on September I, was the thirty-third State in the Union in the sale of War Savings Stamps. Louisiana was thirty-second. Ten­ nessee and West Virginia are the only other Southern States that have sur­ passed North Carolina in sales, Geor­ gia, Sou th “Carolina, Virginia and Flor­ ida are at the bottom of the list, while (New York City, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Maryland are States that have lower sales than North Carolina. North Carolina’s other War Savings activities compare most favorably with that of other States. Her educational thrift work and the number of agen­ cies selling War Savings Stamps place her among the leading States. Three Pertinent Questions Under the head of “Three Impor­ tant Questions to AU Individual Tax Payers and Bond Buyers,” Chairman Joseph G. Brown, of the central Lib­ erty loan committee for North Caro­ lina, says: ’Question I: Do you realize that income which is now taxable from holdings of $45,000 or less of four per cent and four and one-quarter per cent Liberty bonds may be totally ex­ empted from income taxes, excess profit taxes and war profits taxes, dur­ ing the period of the war and for two years thereafter, in case you file a subscription to .$30,000 worth of bonds of the fourth Liberty loan and retain your bonds? (A proportionate exemp­ tion is accorded on smaller subscrip­ tions to the fourth loan.) ‘Question 2: Do you realize that to all those paying sur-taxes under .the proposed revenue bill (beginning with those having taxable incomes of $5,009) it would be necessary in order to secure the same result in dollars to obtain a yield from taxable securi­ ties on ani investment of $30,000 vary­ ing from five and nine hundredths per cent to 36 1-2 per cent, depending up­ on the rate of sur-tax to which a tax payer is liable? ’Question 3: Do you realize that Liberty bonds are totally exempt from all normal income taxes which', under the proposed revenue act, will be levied at the rate of 12 per cent, and that no state or local taxes may be levied on them as personal property, and lack of a full understanding of the tax exemption features may well mean loss in dollars to you.” Muoh Money In Banks. .Deposits in the 336 State banks Au­ gust 31 were $81,161,650, according to a statement of the conditions of the State banks on -that date, from returns just compiled fey James H. Craig, State bank examiner. This was an in­ crease of $18,867,759 over the total de­ posits of September 11, 1917, when the amount on deposit was $62,193,890. ' In his call Mr. Craig asked for defi- mdte figures as to the Liberty Bonds held by the banks. The reports show that the banks now hold $5,622,960 in bonds, exclusive of those purchased in the present drive. The savings deposits show a pro­ portionate increase with the other re­ sources of the banks. One year ago the total amount of savings deposits was $32,275,168. The total savings deposits at this time are $38,668,447. Eleven of-the State banks have joined the federal reserve system. In his report Mr. Craig is making urgent appeal to the banks to finance their patrons for the purchase of Lib­ erty Bonds at the rate of 4 1-4 per cent interest, the same rate the gov­ ernment is paying for the bonds. Reject Renewal Petitions. The Corporation Commission in an order written by Commissioner Max­ well decisively rejected the renewal petition of the Southern Bell Tele­ phone and Telegraph Company for increased rates in twelve North Caro­ lina cities, denying also original peti •tkms of other companies in North Carolina, by "passing the buck” for the second time to the Director Gen­ eral of wire lines. wmm, xzsx&ap*— , — v I M ltrI flfcnlilfflllltl W eslrrn l_View In the ruins of Lens just after the British recovered it; a large shell is seen exploding in the distance 2—Marshal Foch and King Albert arranging for the opening of the drive'ln which the Belgians drove back the Huns 3—General Berthelot- commander of the French forces operating north of Reims. Decline Government Contracts. The board of governors of the American Cotton Manufacturers Asso­ ciation held a special meeting in Char­ lotte for the purpose of acting on tha decision of the government, recently announced, insisting on the insertion in all government contract sof certain restrictive clauses, one dealing with the working of young people between 14 and 16 years in mill6 more than eight hours a day and the other with the adjustment of labor disputes. It was in evidence at the meeting here that the mills were declining to accept these contracts with these re­ strictive features inserted, and it was unanimously voted by the board that it could “not see its way clear to advise its members to rescind their action in declining contracts with these objec­ tionable clauses inserted.” In other words, the board recommended that the policy already followed should be continued. NEWS REVIEW OF THE GREAT WAR Germany’s Tricky Peace Move Is Balked by President Wilson’s Diplomacy. ARMIES OPPOSE ARMISTICE Conservation Sunday Postponed. On account .of the mation-wide epi- 'demic of Spanish influenza the food :administration has postponed conser­ vation Sunday from October 21 to ■December I. and the distribution of the 1918 home cards from the week !beginning October 21st to the first week in December. It is pointed out 'by the food administration that the !military situation does not form any adequate reason for the slightest re­ laxation in food conservation but that :on the contrary European develop­ ments make emphasis upon conserva- itioni particularly important because the evacuation of occupied territory imposes upon this' country the re- : sponsibility of feeding additional civ­ ilian population. •' North Carolina Casualties.

Mr, Ousley said that there has not been from the beginning nor. is there now any set purpose or desire to fix cotton’prices. It has been considered, he added, only as a possi­ ble necessity. Steady Industrial Advance. That North Carolina is steadily ad­ vancing along all lines of industrial endeavor is the feature statement-as to the trades conditions In this state by Commissioner of Labor and Print­ ing M. L Shipman. He says capital and labor are on . distinctly friendly terms, and the tendency istoward even more favorable conditions for Gie wage earners and- employers, are demonstrating their conviction that the “laborer is worthy of h is' hire’.’ through, -ve&mtary increases in wage scales.. Cambral Captured and- Huns* Defen­ sive Line Smashed, Compelling Gen­ eral Retreat—Yanks Success­ ful in Champagne—Beirut Occupied by the French. By EDWARD W. PICKARD. Prince Max of Baden, the new im­ perial chancellor of Germany, re­ questing President Wilson to arrange for an armistice and a subsequent dis­ cussion of peace terms, and stating that Germany accepted the president’s 14 points as- a basis for the negotia­ tions, evoked three separate and dis­ tinct replies. President Wilson an­ swered-that he could not suggest an armistice while tire German armies were outside the boundaries of Ger­ many, and then asked whether the German government accepted the terms, Inid down by him and whether its object In entering discussions was only to agree upon the practical de­ tails of their application; furthermore, he wanted to know whether the chan­ cellor was speaking merely for the constituted authorities of the empire who have so far conducted the war. The people of all the allied nations, soldiers and civilians alike, answered Prince Max with a tremendous shout of "Unconditional'surrender.” Marshal Foch responded with one of the most powerful attacks of the al­ lied armies, capturing the important city of Gambral, smashing a 20-mlle- wlde breach through the Hindenburg line, and forcing back the German armies all along the line, from Verdun to, the sea. —te — Nearly all authorities agree that the chancellor’s proposal was Insincere; that the request for an armistice' was made merely to give the military com­ mand a’ chance to reorganize the shat­ tered ,armies, and that Prince Max knew the suggestion for' a peace con­ ference, as he made, it, would be re­ jected, giving him the opportunity to. say to the people-of Germany-: “I have offered to end the war on the enemy’s own terms and Iie refuses. The Ger- ! man nation now must unitedly fight j on.” At first there was some disappoint ment because President Wilson did not reject the German proposal swift­ ly and bluntly, but a little considera­ tion has convinced almost everyone that-he evaded a trap and by his di­ rect questions put the German dip­ lomats In a position of the utmost diffi­ culty. At the same time he left the door open for ultimate negotiations,' after Germany has accepted his 14 points and given full guarantees. As lor'the armistice, he did not agree to that even were the German-armies to be withdrawn 'from all occupied terri­ tories, recognizing the fact that the declaring of an armistice is up to the military commanders. The presi­ dent’s note was fully, approved, prob­ ably In advance, by the allied govern­ ments, and was given the' highest praise by the press In England and France as well as America. —te — Any agreed cessation of fighting at this time, short of the abject surren­ der of the central powers, would bit­ terly disappoint, the soldiers of the allied, armies and the people who are backing them up. Foch’s forces have the Germans on the run, and if they are permitted to follow up the Huns on their retreat to the Meuse they , will .destroy a large part of their effective­ ness and capture probably half of 'their material.. On the other hand an'armis­tice would’permit the Huns to retire within their borders with their armies Intact and prepared to maneuver effec­ tively behind their'shortened and pow­erfully fortified lines. Animated by ■ a spirit, not- of vindictiveness, but of retributive ,justice,’ the men of the al­ lied armies feel that .no peace should be granted Germany until her cities, her towns and her people have suf­ fered some of the horrors of war that her brutal .soldiers have inflicted on Belgium, northern France and Serbia. The* absolute unrepentance of the Huns for their outrages is shown by their action in. looting and wantonly destroying the towns In France from which they are being driven and In their practice of carrying away with them thousands of the helpless inhab­ itants who are forced to work for them like slaves. Tlie formal warning of France that there would be retribu­ tion for these shameful deeds has been disregarded, and if adequate punish­ ment is not inflicted there will be a general feeling that justice has mis­ carried. President Wilson and his confiden­ tial advisers, it is said, still believe the German people ivill rise in revo­ lution and oust the Hohenzollern crew, and his inquiry as to' whom Prince Max represents is significant In that connection. The chancellor, In his speech to the • reiehstag, undertook rather feebly to demonstrate that re­ cent political changes actually had put the people In power and that he was their -representative. But ali that was looked on as bunk. The diplomatic situation resolved It­ self down to this: The German gov­ ernment must either admit defeat and: surrender on allied terms, or it- must confess that the chancellor was not acting in good faith. That is the hole In which President Wilson lias placed Prince Max and his associates. —te — The greatest blow delivered by the allied armies last week was between -Cambral and St. Quentin. There Field Marshal Haig’s tireless forces, re-en- forced by-American divisions, tore a 20-mile gap through the strongest of HindenburgfS boasted defenses, cap­ turing dozens of villages and many thousands of prisoners and on Wednes-. day occupied the long and des­ perately defended city of Cambrai. -Thp Huns, In full flight, blew up most of Cambrai and burned Bohain, Mar- ctz and many another beautiful town, but the allies did not even stop to ex­ tinguish the flames. Tlie enemy ap­ parently was ' attempting to reconsti­ tute 'his Uniss back of the Selle river from Le Cateau to Solesmes, so Haig's"'troops, led by the cavalry, pushed rapidly forward and the big guns followed so fast that they kept the Huns always under fire. .Only the German machine gunners put up a cred­ itable defense, the riflemen who could be overtaken generally surrendering willingly. Prisoners said the German plan was to retreat to the Valenciennes' line and then to the Meuse, and It was evident the retirement of the German armies from France was well under way. They will fight all the way back to their borders, of course, but the country Is open and the tanks and cav­ alry of the allies' will have daily in­ creasing opportunity to do their part. The Germans still have the strength to maintain a fairly orderly retreat, and If the war is ended by a military decision, It Is admitted the Huns-may be able to postpone that Inevitable event for many months. When they do reach the Mense they will be be­ hind !powerful defenses, but the na­ ture of those defenses Is known to the allied commanders, and so far as the fortifications there are'concerned, -the immense sum just asked of congress for American artillery may be taken to indicate the tremendous concentra­ tion of gunfire that will be used to batter them to pieces. —te — While their comrades were helping the British In the great drive In' the Cambrai region, the American .First army was exceedingly busy west of the Meuse. For many days the dough­ boys battled their way through the Ar- gonne forest, and at the northern end of it they went-up against a concen­ tration of Huns gathered for the de­ fense of the KriemhiIde line. Pausing to permit' their artillery to pour a rain of shells on ,the German positions for' 19 hours, the Yanks advanced to the attack Wednesday, and by a bril­ liant and swift advance broke through the enemy line. To' the right of them other troops forced their way through the Cunel wood, and tills made pos­ sible the storming of the Mamel trench of the Kriemhllde position. The 'en­ gineers were advancing right 'along with the infantry, clearing the way through the entanglements.''

East of the Meuse also the Americans were going forward, and, at the time of writing, these movements, as well as those all along the line, were still pro­ gressing. These operations in France were Steadily crushing the great German salient whose apex was near Laon, and the French were maintaining a continuous pressure on both sides of j that city. They also were compelling j the further retirement of the Huns I who still remained south of the Aisne between Neufchatel and Vouzieres. .The American air service on the front of the First army clearly dem­ onstrated its superiority during the week. Huge aggregations of bombing planes continually flew over the en­ emy front lines, communications, back areas and troop concentrations, doing Incalculable damage, while the pur­ suit planes kept the air clear of Hun machines. —te — The Serbian army kept up the unre­ mitting pursuit of the Austrians in Ferbla as the Bulgarians withdrew from that country, or surrendered, ac­ cording to their agreement.

Synopsis.—Fired by the sinking of the Lusitania, with the loss of American lives, Arthur Guy Empey, an American living In Jersey Cttv goes to England and enlists as a private In the British army.^After a short experience as a recruiting officer In London, he is sent to train­ ing quarters in France, where he first hears the sound of big guns and makes the acquaintance of "cooties.” After a brief period of training Empey’s company is sent into the front-line trenches, where he takes' his first turn on the fire step while Ute bullets whiz overhead. Empey learns, as comrade falls, Hiati death iurks always In the trenches Chaplain distinguishes himself- by rescuing wounded men under hot fire. With pick and shovel Empey has experience as a trench digger In Xo Man’s Land. Exciting experience on listening post detail. Ex­ citing work on observation post duty. Back In rest billets Empey writes and stages a successful J?!ay. Once more In the front trenches, Empey goes "over the top” in a successful but costly attack oh the German lines. Soon afterwards Empey and his comrades repulse a determined gas attack launched by the Germans. His next experience is as a member of a firing squad which executes a sentence of death. CHAPTER XXIV—Continued. —21— After standing at “attention” for- wbat seemed a week, though in reaiity it could not . have been over five min­ utes, we Iieard a low whispering In our rear and footsteps on the stone flag­ ging of the courtyard. • Ouf officer reappeared and In a low, Irat firm voice, ordered: “About—Turn!” We turned about. In the gray light of dawn, a few yards in front of me, I could make out a brick wall. Against this wall was a dark form with a white sguare pinned on its breast. We were supposed to aim at this square. To the right of the form I noticed a white spot on the wall. This would be my target “Heady! Aim I Fire I” The dark form sank into a huddled heap. M.v bullet sped on its way, and lilt the whitish spot on the wall; I coaid see the splinters fly. Some one else had received the rifle containing the blank cartridge, but my mind was at ease, there was no blood of a Tommy on my hands. “Order—Arms! About—Turn! Pile— Arms! Stand—Clear.” The stacks were re-formed. “Quick — March! Bight — Wheel!” And we left the scene of execution be­ hind us. It was now daylight. After march­ ing about five minutes, we were dis­ missed with the following Instructions from the officer In command: • “Return, alone, to your respective companies, and remember, no talking (bout this affair, or else it will go hard with the guilty ones.” We needed no urging to get away. I did not recognize any of the men on the firing squad; even the officer was a stranger to me. The victim’s relations and friends In Blighty will never know t£^t he was executed; they will be under the im­ pression that he died doing bis bit for king and country. • . In the public casualty lists his name will appear under the caption ."Acci­ dentally Killed,” or “Died.” The day after the execution I re­ ceived orders to report back to, the line, and to keep a still tongue In my bead. Executions are a part of the day’s work, but the part we hated most of >11,1 think—certainly the saddest.'The British war department is thought by many people to be composed'of rigid regulations all wound around with red tope. But it has a heart, and one of ibe evidences of this Is the fconslderate way in which an executioi is concealed >hd reported to the relative of the un­ fortunate man. They never know the uVth. He Is listed in the bulletins as (Bong the “accidentally killed.” In the last ten years I have several uMes read stories in magazines of towards changing, In a charge, to he- tOea. I used to laugh at it. It seemed tesy for story-writers, but I said, Men aren’t made that way.” But over *h France I learned once that the lJreBk of yellow can turn all white. 'I Picked up the story, bit by bit, from jbe captain of the company, the sen- *8 who guarded the poor fellow, as Jell as from my own observations. At j“st 1 did not realize the whole of his lorJ, but after a week of investiga­ ted It stood out as clear In my mind JjJ the mountains of my native West in •be spring sunshine. It impressed me Je fflueh that I wrote it all down In J*t billets on scraps of odd ;paper. JJe incidents are, as I say, every bit JriJe I the feelings of the man are true I o~v from 811 I underwent In the w ng fJVer ln ®Tat*ce. e "‘>'1 call him Albert Lloyd. That his name, but it will do: Albert Lloyd was what the world Wma a coward. 8 L or jon they called him a slacker. . , country had been at war nearlyelghtc,I/1. en months, and still he was notj 111 khaki. |J?e 11,1,1 00 good reason for not en- i lie *!5 ’ Uelng alone In the world, hav- j Deen educated in an orphan asy- and there being no ,cae dependent upon him for support. He had no good position to lose, and there was no sweetheart to tell him with her Ups to go, while her eyes pleaded for him to stay. Every time he saw a recruiting ser­ geant he’d slink around the corner out of sight, with a terrible fear gnawing at his heart. When passing the-big re­ cruiting posters, and on his way to business and bnck he passed many, he would pull down his cap and look the other way from that awful finger pointing at him, under the caption, “Tour King and Country Need Tou;” or the boring eyes of Kitchener, which burned into his very soul, causing him to shudder. Then the Zeppelin raids—during them, he used to crouch In a corner of his boarding-house cellar, whimpering like a whipped puppy and calling upon the Lord to protect him. . Even his landlady despised him, al­ though she had to admit that he was “good pay.” He very seldom read the papers, but one momentous morning the landlady put the morning paper at his. place be­ fore he came down to breakfast. Tak­ ing his seat he read the flaring head­ line, “Conscription Bill Passed,” and nearly fainted. Excusing himself, he stumbled upstairs to his bedroom, with the horror of it gnawing into his vitals. Having saved up a few pounds, he decided not to leave the house, and to sham sickness, so he stayed In his room and had the landlady serve his meals there. Every time there was a knock at the door he trembled all over, Imagining it was a policeman who had come to take him away to the army. ' One morning his fears were realized. Sure enough, there stood a policeman with the fatal paper. T akingitinhls trembling hand he read that he, Albert Lloyd, was ordered to report himself to the nearest recruiting station for physical examination. He reported im­ mediately, because he was afraid to disobey. ‘ ' The doctor looked with approval upon Lloyd’s six feet of physical per­ fection, and thought what a fine guardsman he would make, but exam­ ined his heart twice before he passed him as “physically fit;” it was beating •so fast. From the recruiting depot Lloyd was taken/with many others, in charge of a sergeant, to the training depot at Al­ dershot, where he was given an outfit of khaki, and drew. his other equip­ ment. He made a fine-looking soldier, except for the slight shrinking in his shoulders and the hunted look In his eyes. At the training depot it does not take long to find out a man’s character; and Lloyd was promptly dubbed “windy.” In the English army “windy” means cowardly. The smallest recruit in the barracks looked on him with contempt, and was not slow to show it in many ways. Lloyd was a good soldier, learned quickly, obeyed every order promptly, never groused at the hardest fatigues. He was afraid to. He lived in deadly fear of the officers and "nonfioms” over him. They also despised him. One morning about three - months after his enlistment Lloyd’s company was paraded, and the names picked out for the next draft to France were read. When his name was called, he did not step out smartly, two paces to the front, and answer cheerfully, “Here, sir,” as the others did. He just faint­ ed In the ranks and was carried to bar­ racks amid the sneers of the rest. That night was an agony of misery to him. He could not sleep. Just cried and whimpered in his bunk, because on the morrow *the draft was to sail for France, where he would see death on all sides, and perhaps be killed him­ self. On the steamer, crossing the channel, he would have jumped over­ board to escape, but w.as afraid of drowning. — . • . .Arriring ln Franco be and the re«t were huddled into cattle m n. On ih* side of each appeared in white letters, “Hommes 40, Cbevaux 8.” After hours of bumping over the uneven French roadbeds they arrived at the training base of Rouen. At this place they were put- through a week’s rigid training In trench war­ fare. On the morning of the eighth day they paraded at ten o’clock, and were inspected and passed by General LI- — > then were marched- to the quar­ termaster’s, to draw their gas helmets and trench equipment. At four in the afternoon they were again hustled into cattle cars. This time the journey lasted two days. They disembarked at the town of Fre- vent and could hear a distant dull booming. With knees shaking, Lloyd asked the sergeant what the noise was, and nearly dropped when the sergeant replied in a somewhat bored tone: “Oh, them’s the guns up • the line. We’ll b« up there In a couple o’ days or so. Don’t worry; my laddie, you'll see more of 'em than you want before you get ’ome to Blighty again, that Is, if you’re lucky enough to get back. Now lend a hand them unloadin’ them cars, and quit that evcriastin’ sbakin’. I believe yer scared.” The last with a contemptuous sneer. They marched ten kilos, full pack, to a little dilapidated village, and the sound of the guns grew louder, con­ stantly louder. The village was'full of soldiers who turned out to inspect the new draft the men who were shortly to be their mates 'in the trenches, for they were going “up the line” on the morrow, to “take over" their certain sector of trenches. The draft was paraded In front of battalion headquarters ahd' the men were assigned to companies. , Lloyd was the only man assigned to D company. Perhaps the officer in charge of the draft had something to do with it, for he called Lloyd aside and said: “Lloyd, you are going to a new com­ pany. , No one knows you. Tour bed will be as you make it, so for God’s sake, brace up ahd be a man. I think you have the stuff in you, my boy, so good-by and the best of luck to you.” The next day the battalion took over their part of the trenches. It happened to be a very quiet, day. The artillery behind the lines was still, except for an occasional shell sent over to let the Germans know the gunners were not asleep. In the darkness, in single file, the company slowly wended their way down the communication trench to the front line. No one noticed Lloyd’s white and drawn face. After they had relieved Ure company In the trenches, Lloyd, with two of the old company men, was put on guard in one of the traverses. Not a shot was fired from the German lines, and' no one paid any attention to him crouched on the firing step. On the first time-in, a new recruit is not required to stand with' his head “over the top.” He only “sits it out," while the older men keep watch. At about ten o’clock, all of a sudden, he thought hell had broken loose, and crouched and shivered up against the parapet. Shells started bursting, as he imagined, right In their trench, when in fact they were landing about a hun dred yards in rear of them, in the sen ond lines. One of the older .men on guard, turn­ ing to his mate, said: “There goes Fritz With those d——d trench mortars again. It’s about time our artillery ‘taped’ them, and senl over a few. Well, Fll be d—*—d, where’s that blighter of a draft man Hone to? There’s- his rifle leaning against the parapet He must have legged it. Just keep your eye peeled, Dick, while I report it to the sergeant' I wonder if the fool knows he can bs shot for such tricks As leavln’ his post?” . Lloyd had gone. When the trench mortars opened up, a maddening ter­ ror seized him and he wanted to run, to get away from that horrible din, anywhere to safety. So quietly sneak­ ing around the traverse, he came to the entrance of a communication trench, and ran madly and blindly down it, running into traverses, stumbling into muddy holes, and falling full length over trench grids. Groping blindly, with his arms stretched out' in front of him, he at last came out of the trench into the village, or what used to be a village, before the German artillery razed it. Nflxed with his fear, he had a pe> culiar sort of cunning,., which whin pered to him to avoid all sentries, be­ cause- if they saw him he would be sent back to that awful destruction. In the front line,, and perhaps be killed" or maimed. The thought made him shudder, the cold sweat coming out In beads on his.face. Empey learns that a streak of yellow sometimes can turn alt white. He tells the unusual story In the next Installment.

BEDS STOEES- There Were Ten-Cent Spirits. with codtributing to the delinquency of Morris Solomon, twelve years old,‘and his sister, Hattie, ten years old. Mrs. Weisman is said to have in­ duced the two children to go to the store of their father and take the money from the cash drawer. It is al­ leged that the medium had arranged a regular schedule of prices with the i children “for keeping the bad spirits I away” from the Solomon household, j and for prevailing on the “respectable spirits” to "effect a reconciliation be­ tween their father and mother, who have been separated for some time. Evidence gathered from the stories told to the police by the children read like a chapter from the Orient. For different spirits the medium is alleged j to have had different prices. There were “ten-cent” spirits and “three-: times-50-eent” spirits, the children dis­ closed. On Saturdays the “spirits” de­ manded 75 cents to be appeased. Although the children and their mother desired a reconciliation, the spirit. medium was said to have in­ formed Morris and Hattie that the best way to bring It about was through the father’s cash drawer. They confessed that they had extracted money from their father’s till for two months, giv­ ing it tc Mrs. Weisman. Watch Chains Disappear. A London (England) West end jew­ eler says- that two things seem to be passing out of fashion owing to the war—watch chains and cuff links. Both these articles were on the wane before the war, but wrist watches, being essential for officers, brought them quickly to the fore, nnd civilians have ’ been rushing to buy them, in many instances selling their watches and chains to buy the handier time piece. So with links. The soft double cuff, which was such a nuisance to get them into, began their downfall and then khaki shifts made to button at the wrist completed it..Now one sees even the best dressed men with shirt cuffs buttoned at the wrist, and tbie links are put away in the drawer with the “lms beeus.” Not strange that the Huns destroy the trees on the French farms. A criminal doesn’t like a tree. It is hard for some people to enter any condition without looking for a loophole. Sic Transit. “Every one likes me,” said the man.

Epidemic Probably Not Spanish In Origin—Germ Still Unknown—Peo­ ple Should GtTard Against “Droplet Infection”—Surgeon General Blue Makes Authoritative Statement. Washing)oD, D. C.—(Special.)—Al­ though King Alfonso of Spain was one of the victims of the influenza epi­ demic In 1S93 and again this summer, Spanish authorities repudiate any claim to Influenza as a “Spanish" dis­ ease. If the people of this country do not take care the epidemic will be­ come so widespread throughout the United States that soon we shall bear the disease called "American” ’ influ­ enza. In response to a request for definite information concerning Spanish influ­ enza, Surgeon General Rupert Blue of the D. S. Public Health Service has authorized the following official inter­ view: What is Spanish Influenza? Is it something new? ,Does it come from Spain? "The disease now occurring In this coutidy and called ‘Spanish Influen­ za ’ resembles a very contagious kind of ‘cold,’ accompanied by fever, pains Coughs and Sneezes Spread D iseases AsDangerous as IUson Gtus Shelia In the head, eyes, ears, back or other parts of the body.and a feeling of se­ vere sickness. In most of the cases the symptoms disappear after three or four days, the patient then rapidly recover­ ing. Some of the patients, however, develop pneumonia, or Inflammation of the ear, or meningitis, and many of these complicated cases die. Whether this so-called .‘Spanish’ influenza Is identical with the epidemics of influen­ za of earlier years is not yet known. “Epidemics of influenza have visited this country since 1C47. It is Interest­ ing to know that this first epidemic was brought here from Valencia, Spain. Since that, time there have been numerous epidemics of the dis­ ease. In I8S9 and 1890 an epidemic of influenza, starting somewhere in the Orient, spread first to Russia and thence over practically the entire civ­ ilized world. Three years later there was another‘flare-up of the disease. Both times the epidemic spread wide­ ly over the United States. “Although the present epidemic' is called ‘Spanish influenza,' there is no reason to believe that it originated In Spain. Some writers who have studied the question believe that th.e epidemic came from the Orient and they call at­ tention to- the fact that the Germans mention the disease as occurring along the eastern front In the summer and fall of 1917.” Hoyv can “Spanish influenza” be rec­ ognized? • ■— “There is. as yet no certain., way in which a single case of ‘Spanish influ­ enza’ can be recognized. On the oth­ er hand, recognition is easy where there is a group of cases. In contrast to the outbreaks of ordinary coughs and colds, which usually occur in the cold months, epidemics of influenza way occur at any season of tlife year. Thus-the present epidemicragj&tt. most intensely in Europe-in May, June and July. Moreover, In the case of ordi­ nary colds, the general symptoms (fever, pain, depression) are by no means as severe or as sudden In their onset as they are In influenza. Final­ ly* ordinary colds do not spread through the community so’ rapidly or so extensively as does influenza. “In most cases a person taken sick with influenza feels sick rather sud­ denly. He feels weak, has pains in the eyes, ears, head or back, and may be snre all over. Many patfeiifs feel ^ltzy, some vOmlt .Most of the pa­ tients complain of feeling chilly, and w-th this comes a fever In which the temperature rises to 100 to 101. In most cases the pulse remains relative­ ly slow. “In appearance one is struck, by the fact, that the pat!en.t looks sick. His eyes and the inner side of his eyelids may be slightly ‘bloodshot,’ or ‘con­ gested,’ as the doctors say. There may be running from the nose, or there may be some cough. These signs of a cold may not be marked ; never­ theless. the patient looks and feels very tick. “In addition to Uie Qppenrance and the symptoms as already ' described, examination of thfe patient’s blood may aid the physician In recognizing ‘Span­ ish influenza,'-for It has been found thnl In this disease the number of whlte-corpuscles shows little or no in­ crease above the normal. It is possi­ ble that the laboratory Investigatloua now being made ‘through the National Research . Council and the United States Hygienic Laboratory will fur­ nish a more certain way in which indi­ vidual cases of this disease can be recognized.?’ What is the course of the disease? Do peopledie of it? "Ordinarily, the fever lastsfro m ’ three to four days and the patient re­ covers. But while the proportion . of deaths In the present epidemic has generally been low, in sotnc places the OUtIireak hns been severe and deaths have been numerous. When death oc­ curs it Is usually the result of a com­ plication?’’ What causes the disease and how is it spread? “BacteHologists who have studied In­ fluenza epidemics In the past have found In many of the cases a very Small rod-shaped germ called, after Its discoverer, Pfeiffer's bacillus. In other cases of apparently the same kind of -disease there were found pneumococci, the germs of lobar pneumonia. .StItl othersTiave been caused by strepto­ cocci, and by others germs with long names. “No matter what particular kind of germ causes the epidemic, it is now believed that influenza is, always spread from person to person, the germs being carried with the air along with the very small droplets of mucus, expelled by coughing or sneezing, forceful talking, and the like by one who already has the germs of the dis­ ease. They may also be carried about, iu the air in the form of dust coming from dried mucus, from coughing and sneezing, or from careless people who spit on the floor and on the sidewalk. As In most other catching diseases, a person who has only a mild attack of the disease himself may give a very severe attack to others.” What should be done by those who catch the disease? “It is very important that every per­ son who becomes sick with influenza should go home at once and go to bed. This will help keep away dangerous complications and will, at"' the same time, keep the patient from scattering the disease far and wide. It is highly desirable that no one be allowed to sleep in the same room with the pa­ tient In fact, no one but the nurse should be allowed in the room. “If there is cougli and sputum or running of the eyes and nose, care should be taken that all such dis­ charges are collected on bits of gauze or rag or paper napkins and burned. If the patient complains of fever and headache, be shoujd be given water to drink, a cold compress to the forehead and a light sponge. Only such medi­ cine should be given as is prescribed by the doctor. It is foolish to ask the druggist to prescribe and may be dan­ gerous to take the so-called ‘safe, sure and harmless’ remedies advertised by patent medicine manufacturers. “If the patient is so situated that he can be attended only by some one who must also look after others in. the fam­ ily, it" is advisable that such attendant wear a wrapper, apron or gown over the ordinary Itouse clothes while in the sick room and slip this off when leav­ ing to look after the others. “Nurses and attendants will do well to’guard against breathing In danger­ ous disease germs by wearing a simple fold of gauze or mask while near the patient." Will a person who has had influenza before catch the disease again? “It Is well known that an attack of measles or scarlet fever or smallpox usually protects a person against-a-n- otlier-attack of the same disease. This, appears not to be true of ‘Spanish In­ fluenza.’ According .to newspaper re­ ports the King of Spain suffered an attack of influenza during the epi­ demic thirty years, ago, and was again stricken during the recent outbreak in Spaiq.” How can one guard against influ­ enza? “In guarding against disease of all kinds, It is important that the body be kept strong and able to fight off dis­ ease germs: This can be done by hav­ ing a proper proportion of work, play and rest, by keeping the body well clothed, and by eating sufficient whole­ some and properly selected food. In conneetlon with diet, ft is well to re­ member that milk is one of the best all-around foods obtainable for adults as well as children. So far as a dis- ease like influenza is concerned, health authorities everywhere recognize the very close relation'between its spread and overcrowded homes. While it ie not always possible, especially’ In' times like the present, to avoid such overcrowding, people" should consider tin; lieallb danger and make every effort to reduce Ilie home overcrowd­ ing to a minimum. Thfvalue of fresh air through open windows cannot be over emphasized. ' “When crowding Is unavoidable, as In street cars, care should be taken to keep the face so turned as not to in­ hale directly the air breathed out by another person. “It is especially Important to be­ ware of the person who coughs or sneefes without covering • his mouth and nose. It also follows that one should keep out of crowds and stuffy places as much Rsn -Posslble, keep homes, offices and. workshops well aired, spend some time out of doors each day, walk to ,work if at ail prac- ticable—in short, make every possible effort to breathe as mifcit pure alrns possible. • “In all health matters follow the ad- .vice of your doctor and obey tlte regtt- lations of your local and state health officer’s.” - “Cover up each cough and sneeze, • If you don’t ypu’lt spread disease.1 V Poor Dog Under Shell Fire.

I have no hesitancy in recommending this medicine and I am prescribing it for my patients almost every day.” Professor C. T.

World news is all right, but OUR BOYS want NEWS OF. THIS TOWN. They want the home newspaper. Publishers are prevented from sending their papers free to anyone, even boys in the service. Consequently a national movement has been started by Col.

We will publish a list each week of those contributing, and'the amounts contributed: Every cent received will be used to send this paper to our boys at the front.

ADORES3CO I Iron And Red Blood About a toaspoonful of iron is the total quantity of that much-exploited element present in the entire mass of blood of a healthy,adult of average height and weight. Why, then, all this extravagant talk of iron and red blood? Iron is one of the least im­ portant elements of the blood. Such iron as the red blood corpuscles con­ tain is supplied, not -from mfedicine,- but from natural foods, foods which have not been denaturlzed in the course of. preparation for the table. The' iron in wheat, for instance, is chiefly, discarded, with the screenings in milling;, the iron In the.potato is chiefly discarded with the skins, In those homes where the .value of potato, skins Is not yet known. When physicians administer iron as a medicine, internally or by hypodermic Injection, they do not expect the iron I® be taken up by the red corpuscles. They are fully aware that the blood iron must be derived from the natural iron of food, not from medicine. The medicine is given for the purpose of stimulating certain structures which are concerned In the production of red corpuscles, such as the marrow of jong -bones, the lymph nodes or “glands,” the spleen. .Also, at times, to act upon certain underlying condi­ tions which are known to accoupt for the blood weakness. , Now, it would certainly be flne if an anemic person,- one with weak or “watery” blood, could simply swallow some iron-containing medicine two or three times a day to restore strength Jhe blood. But it isn’t done. Oh, yes, the medicine is swallowed ,Teli- gieusly. There are ,-plenty of philan­ thropic gentlemen, -with j - surplus of iron to Sellr who bbo to that. But the blood fails to grow strong. __ ' Green fresh garden truok, fresh whole fruits,-and undenaturlzed ce­ reals stich as whole wheat, unpolished rice, oatmeal,. crushqd corn, and -nuts' supply iron adequate, for every possi­ ble bodily need,,. j ■ Sunlight, direct exposure of the skin of as much of the body as possi- ble, short of sunburn, of course, sup­ plies the natural blood-building stimu­ lant. In the vast, majority of anemia cases, weak or so-called watery blood, the anemia or blood weakness is sec­ ondary to some systematic disorder, and not an explanation in itself for the patient’s suffering. This is the reason why alleged blood-building medicines .fail to cure anything, unless the un­ derlying cause of the lack of blood is A S SOME WOULn HAVE US BELIEVE A M D " D r * Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin h proved more satisfactory Aa any other laxative I have ever used.

The Republican party says to the c o u n try -S T A N D BY THE WAR Intiits declaration>f purpose is included the statement which the Democratic party seems to have adopted as a slogan—"Stand by the President.” > • . - Stand by the President in support of all war measures is a duty and privilege which the Republicans have assumed as a matter of course, as to all that the great office implies, and in the performance of which du,y the Republican party has functioned far more fully and efficiently, than the Democratic party, and in which course we shall persist without wa­ ver or'shadow of turning. The Republican party says—stand by the war. Thisincludes more. It includes, stand by the President; it includes stand by every public official, high or low,'measured by the thorough ness with which that public official stands byithe war; it includes stand by the government; stand by this country; stand by our allies, every one; stand against our enemies- in this war. every one;x stand by our soldiers in France and the soldiers of our allies; stand by every effort for war saving and war giving in this country; stand for the cause for which we fight; stand by the “irre­ ducible minimum” of peace terms so splendidly enunciated by Senator Lodge; stand by the war aims of this country to vindicate American rights, interests and honor. - and to forever end Prussianism in the world and the oppression which it typifies, and to make certain forever' the in­ ability of militarism, Prussian or otherwise, to disturb again the peace of the world; stand irrevocably for a peace with victory only and against a peace based- on a compromise of. principle^which would make:'a sa- criiige of Our sacrifice to be made aeainby our grandchildren; stand for the preparation now of a sound and proper foundation f< r a policy of ieconstruetion after the war which will fulfill the economic needs and realize the spiritual ideals of ohr people, that the greatest good may come also to our own country from, and after, our supreme sa­ crifice.

W erecenlly read about a re- markable famijy. j he w riter of it has kept up with history. Hs an­ cestors came Io and settled iu this country before the Revolutionary war. This1 family has‘ multiplied until it has numbered its hundreds They fought as Americans in the Revolutionary war, as Rebels in the Civil war, and as Americans they are fighting in this war. Not one of them ever was a tory, a deserter or a slacker. No's one «f them was ever in jail for any of. tense. Rot one was ever rich, or a pauper, or an inmate of a lunatic asylum. Not onebas ever made an assignment, or gone into bank, ruptcy. Net one has ever run a bar, a blockade still or was known as a drunkard. Not one was ever a lawyer or a preacher. Not one was ever divorced, or W an to his wife. Not one was ever an infidel or a Catholic. Are there not others? -Ex'.’ Inspiring Example. Lumberton Robesonian. Mrs. R. P. Byrd, who lives on R. I, Irom Fairmount- between Center a'nd Hog Swamp churches, came to Lumberton the other ‘ day principally to gbuy $25 worth of VYar Savings Stamps; and her ex­ ample, considering the circum­ stances, is peculiarly inspiring. Mrs. Byrd is.59 years old, aod her husband is 70. They live alone and.her husfiaud is not able to do any woik. " By herself, employing uo labor except to do the plowing and to- help barn tobacco, Mrs. Byrd raised a crop, paid $800 on the homeVplace, and has money'to' invest in War Savings Stamps. She says she wants to do anything she can to help win the war. Au example like tbat ought to inspire some others of us who perhaps have been patting ourselves on the back, to move up a peg and in\ e-u more money in-helping to win the war. THEY ALL DEMiNDIT.

Sleeplessness was added to my misery, and I would awake as tired, as when I went to sleep.

Mr. Cox is a prominent attorney of Asheboro, and has many Democratic friends who are going to support him, as this is more of a judical than a political office. . “If. S.

Promptly, in a few words, PreMdent Wilson has pointed out to the German people the path to peace in' his reply to the late neace note. No arrangements for peace can be ac­ cepted by the United States and her Al­ lies except those which destroy once and forever autocracy and provide satisfac­ tory safeguards and guarantees of the maintainence of the present military su­ premacy of’ the ^armies of the United States and the Allies in- the field. That means only one thing, “Unconditional Surrender.” The German Kaiser and all his bloodthirsty gang must go. The peo­ ple themselves must take the reins; allied armies must occupy German strongholds until the world is convinced that Germ­ any has been made forever impotent a« a military power, directed by a mad man. ready to plunge tbe world into war at any time in order to satisfy his crazy dreams of world dominion. The sole, and simple receipt by which the German people may secure peace is by definite and satisfactory guarantees that HohenzoIIernism shall be overthrown. And while we, the American people, were greeting with satisfaction these unequivo­ cal declarations of their President, dis patches from Washington, supplementing the President's statement, brought news that the Allied War Council has already agreed that one of the conditions to be required if the German people are ‘o have a respite from fighting is that allied troops shall occupy Metz, Strassburg and Cob- leniz, while the terms of peace are be­ ing fulfilled. Thus ends the German peace offensive. Discussion ends at this point. Henceforth it is to be bayonets and machine guns. Future appeals from the bloodthirsty Kaiser may well be ad­ dressed to General Focb. Hard pressed on the Western From, with armie3 everywhere in retreat, witn one. of his allies already surrendered, ar- other on the point of surrender, and hi, third ally weak and disheartened, with bis conquests in Russia undetermined, with his Southern line gone with disaster heaped on disaster across bis path, the Kaiser hoped he might inveigle his ene­ mies into conceding what he has been un iblc to win by force of arms. His appeal for an armistice was virtu­ ally a coiifession of military defeat. Now comes the absolute demand by President Wilson, speaking in the name of all the Allies, that Keiser Wilhelm must go, that the United States and her associati s in the war cannot deal with a German Gov­ ernment steeped in innocent blood and guilty of the Iongcategory of unspeakable crimes to which Potsdam has stooped. President Wilson makes it plain that nothing less than unconditional surrender can now be considered. A government, committing the crimes that Germany is guilty of. by land and sea is entitled t< ro consideration. A government as in­ different to every law of God and man a, Germany has shown itself, even while begging its enemies f.i an armistice, reads itself out of .consideration by self- respecting nations. Its word cannot Ip- accepted. No agreement to which i; might subscribe would be taken at face value in any capitol on earth. Therecan be no peace, thsre can' be no armistic-, there can be nothing but war so Icng es the Hoher.zullern sits on the throne. Once more the issue of war’ and peace is put squarely up to the German people. They must make their choice between Kaiser Bill and peace. They may have either oae.they wish, but one fact remains, they cannot have-both. “IV, S. S.” Foik News Notes.

Amer­ ican airmen also are continuing their !o-abing operations behind the Ger­ man lines, their latest effort in this iespect having been made against the territory around Briquenay, north of Grand Pre, in which 140 airplanes took part, 60 of them being bombing ma­ chines. Since the Americans began their operations northward of Verdun more than -15 villages have been liberated, an advance to an average depth of 10 ists. Numerous violent cbunter-at- tacks have been launched by the Ger­ mans against the Americans, but all these have been successfully sustain­ ed.

Unofficial advices report the situa­ tion in Germany is daily growing worse. There are persistent reports of riots in various parts of the country, conflicts with the police and loss of life and that lack of raw material is seriously interferring with the produc­ tion of munitions. The socialists George Ledebour, is quoted by The Cologne Volks Zeitung as saying in the recihstag: “The baneful influence of the kai­ ser must be removed” and advocating the abolition of the monarchical sys­ tem. His speech was greeted by the socialists with shouts of “Abdicate!” I WAR REVENUE BILL IS HELD UP UNTIL AFTER ELECTIONS NO SEPARATE PEACE TO BE HAD FROM EMPEROR CHARLES Berne.—Professor Lammasach re­ cently was asked to form an Austrian cabinet and accepted on condition that Austria-Hungary immediately, make a separate peace with the allies. Re­ ports from Vienna say that E.mperor Charles declared such' a thing was impossible, saying he had given his word of honor to the German emperor never to make a separate peace.

Washington.—The war revenue bill will not be reported to the senate un­ til after the November elections. Sen­ ator Simmons, chairman of the sen­ ate finance committee, which is revis­ ing the house draft of the measure, announced that the committee deems it utterly impossible to complete its revision and return the redrafted measure to the senate -by October 29, when leaders plan for Congress to recess until November 12. By the time Congress reassembles. Senator Simmons said, it is believed the bill will be ready for submission to the senate. GERMAN WAR CABINET HOLDS LENGTHY SESSION ON REPLY Basel.—The German war cabinet considered President Wilson’s reply at a lengthy session, according to The Frankfort eZitung. It was decided not to answer at the present time, but to wait until it is learned what the entente’s armistice conditions may be. WAY IS CLEARED FOR THE FRAMING OF AN ARMISTICE Washington,—Arrival in France o4 Colonel House, President Wilson’s -personal representative and Admiral Benson, highest ranking officer in the American navy, has cleared the way for the beginning of such deliberations by the supreme war council at Vep sallies as may be necessary to frama the draft of an armistice; to be submit­ ted to Germany. The premiers of the Allied countries can, oe assembled at short notice. ENORMOUS CROWD CALLS FOR ABDICATION OF THE EMPEROR Paris.—An enormous crowd assem­ bled before the reichstag building in Berlin calling for the abdication of Emperor William and the formation of a republic..Dr. ,K arl Leibknecht1 the socialist leaden who -has just been released from prison, was applauded frantically. He was compelled to. enter- a- carnage from which he made a speech declar­ ing that the-time of the people had •arrived. Washington.—President Wilson has submitted the German plea for an armistice and peace to the allies, and at the same time has informed Berlin that there can be no armistice except upon terms that would make it impos­ sible for Germany to renew hostili­ties. While consenting to den; further with the present authorities in Ger­ many, the President has given them this warning: “If it (the United States) must deal with the military masters and mon­ archical autocrats of Germany now, or if it is likely to have to deal with them later in regard to the interna­ tional obligations of the German em­ pire, it must demand, not peace nego­ tiations, but surrender. Nothing can be gained by leaving this essential thing unsaid.” The President’s reply to the last German note was handed to the j charge of the Swiss legation for trans­ mission to the German government. It accedes to the request that he take J up with the allies the proposals of the new spokesmen of the German people, but does it with notice that virtual surrender of the Teutonic ar­ mies in the field will be the price de­ manded for interruption of the beat­ ing now being administered. In transmitting the matter to the allies, the President says he has sug­ gested that if they are disposed to effect peace on his terms and princi­ ples now accepted by the present Ger­ man authorities, the American and al­ lied military advisers be asked, if they deem such an armistice possible from a military point of view, to submit such terms as will fully protect the interests of- the peoples involved and insure to the associated governments the unrestricted power to enforce peace on the conditions accepted. As to the authority of the new spokesmen of the German people, ^e speaks, as the note says, “without any attempt to soften what may seem harsh words,” and tells the men with- whom he is dealing, and through them the German people, why such extraordinary safeguards must be de­ manded before hostilities can cease. Significant and important as the proposed constitutional changes seem to be. he declares, it does not appear that the principle of a government responsible to the German people has yet been worked out. and it, is evident that the people have no means of commanding the acquiescence of the military authorities. He reminds the Germans that the power of the king of Prussia (the kaiser) to control the policy of the empire is unimpaired, ALLIES STILL DRIVING GERMANS TOWARD BORDER The allied armies in France and Belgium are still driving the Germans toward their border, but the process is now comparatively slow. Paricularly vicious fighting is in progress west of the Meuse river, where the Americans,' in their endeav­ ors to overcome the natural obstacles barring the way northward to Sedan, are faced by picked troops with orders to hold them back at all costs; in the region from LeCateau to the north fo Valenciennes. Veritable nests of machine guns are being encountered by the Americans as they attempt to press forward along the front from the Meuse to the town of Grand Pre, situated north of the Argonne forest, but in spite of these obstacles they have taken further ground and at last accounts were steadily keeping up their pressure. In northern Belgium the Germans are still retiring. Unofficial reports aro to the effect that Ghent is being evacuated. STIFFENING OF ENEMY LINES SOMEWHAT RETARDS THE PROGRESS OF ALLIES. AESULTS HIIE BEING SHOWN Around LaCateau Where Amerieant Are Fighting, Activities Have Diminished Greatly. BRITISH SMASHING THROUGH GERMAN STRONG DEFENSIVE With the British Army in France and Belgium—The British third and fourth armies smashed through strong German defensive positions south ol Valenciennes .They gained ground tc a depth of more than 5,000 yards on ail extended front, capturing many important villages and several thou­ sand prisoners. The fighting was des­ perate, the German machine gunners holding out to the last. SPECTACULAR COMBAT PULLED OFF BY AMERICAN AVIATORS With the American Army North- west of Verdun.—In a most spectacu­ lar combat over Doulcon. which last­ ed' half an hour four American fight­ ers badly worsted an equal number of Germans, three Fokkers being down­ ed. Capt. Alfred Grant Benton, of Texas, singlehanded, fought two Fok- kers and - shot. down in flames Np .Man’s Land a German two-seater bound for the American lines on ob serration duty. The fall of Valenciennes to Field Marshall Haig's forces is Imminent. Despite the desperate resistance of the Germans, the British have en­ tered the city on the west, while to the north they have made a deep' thrust into the great Raismes forest and are moving in the direction of Conde, near the awgle of the Scheldt. Valenciennes had been in uninter­ rupted French possession from 1677 until the onrush of the Germans early in the present war led them many miles into Framce. It is now abont to be added to the rapidly growing list of towns the redemption of which has brought rejoicing to the French people. Although the progress of the allied forces in Belgium and French Flan­ ders has slowed up somewhat i® the fece of the stiffening of the lines of raar guards aiding the retreat of the German armies, appreciable gains have been made, some of them of much importance. Behind the Scheldt ~ the Germans are massed in strength; their machine guns on the east bank are active.' In the northern battle area the Bel­ gians have reached the Lys canal along their entire front and have captured a bridgehead with numbers of the enemy west of Meerendre. The French are still moving ac­ tively to the north of Laon and have now completed the occupation) of chalandry and Grandlup. To the southwest of Ghent they are firmly established on the east bank of this Lys river, having made crossings at several points, against which the en­ emy resisted with determination. Around lLeCateau, where Americans are fighting with the British ’ fourth army, activity has diminished- greatly. The same is true of the American sector northwest of Verdun, where the chief activity of the enemy has been, the shelling of the American lines with .mustard and other gas shells, and au air raid, which came near to achieving the destruction of an Amer­ ican base hospital. KING RECEIVES DEPUTATION OF PARLIAMENTARIANS London.—King George received a large deputation of interparliamen­ tary delegates at Buckingham palacfe. The deputation included 3<j British representatives, 22 from France, S from Italy and one from Belgium. “More than two years have passed,” said the king, “since the first visit of ‘he interparliamentary committee of ‘he French chambers, when you and •vs were in - the throes of a conflict, n e-issue of which then seemed to many foreign* observers uncertain, “housfh you and we never doubted that our cause, being the cause of light and humanity, would prevail. “Victory is within our reach.

This outpouring of generosity In ma­ terial things has been accompanied by a spontaneity in the giving, by an en thuiasm and a devotion in the doing, which, after all, are greater and bigger than could be anything measured In terms of time or dollars. It has been because of this, spirit which has pervaded all American Hed Cross effort in this war that the aged governor of one of the stricken and battered provinces of France stated not long since that, though France had long known of America’s greatness, strength and enterprise, it remained for the American Bed Cross In this war to reveal America’s heart In this country, at this moment, the workers of the Ked Cross, through tts chapters, are helping to add to the comfort and health of the millions of our soldiers In 102 camps and canton* ments, as well as of those traveling on railroad trains or embarking on ships for duty overseas.

WOMEN GIVEN HIGH TRIBUTE .Contributions of Materials and Time Have Been Practically Unending —Figures Tell of Work Done by the Various Chapters. October 23 the 3,854 chapters of the Bed Cross held their annual meetings to elect officers and make reports. To be read at all these meetings through- . out the United States, the Red Cross War Council sent the following an­ nual message covering the work of the Bed Cross for the past year: To the Chapiers of the American Rad Cross: THOSE CIVILIANS WHO APPLY MUST BE QUALIFIED FOR GENERAL SERVICE^ DISPATCHES F M HJUII6H Doings and Happenings That Mark the Progress of North Carolina Peo- pie, Gathered Around the State Capital. Raleigh. Applications are now being received flrom civilians for infantry officers' meetings for 1918. With these greetings go congratula­ tions on the great work of the chapters during the past year and, above all things, on the wonderful spirit of sac­ rifice and patriotism which has per­ vaded that work. The strength of the Bed Cross rests upon Hs cJip.pters. They are its bone and sinew. They supply its funds, they supplr its men and women, they supply its enthusiasm. Let us, then, review together the Bed Cross story of the past year. Some idea of the sire to which your Red Cross family has grown may be gathered from tic following facts: On May I, 1917, just before the ap­ pointment of the War Council, the America!: Red Cross had 486,194 mem­ bers working through 562 chapters. On Juiy 31, 1918, the organization numbered 20,648,103 annual members, besides S,000,000 members of the Junior Eed Cross—a total enrollment of over one-fourth the population of Ibe United States. Since the beginning of the war, you of the chapters have co-operated with the War Council in conducting two war fund .drives and one membership drive, In addition to the campaign on behalf of the Junior Red Cross. The total actual collections to date from the -first war fund have amounted to more than $115,000,000. The sub­ scriptions to the second war fund amounted to upwards of $176 ,000,000. From iiismbersiiip dues the collec­ tions have amounted to approximately *24,600,000. Splendid Work Dane by Women. To the foreging must be added that very large contribution of materials &nd tluie given by !ho millions of wom­ en throughout the country in surgical dressings, in knitted articles, in hos­ pital and refugee garments, In canteen work, and the other activities the chap­ ters have been relied upon to perform. It is estimated that approximately 8.000.090 women are Jngaged In can­ teen work and the production of relief supplies through the chapters. For the period up to July I, 1918, American Bed Cross chapters, through their workroom*, had produced: 490.120 refugee garments. 7,123,621 hospital supplies. 10,784,489 hospital garments. 10.194.Wil knitted articles. 192.740,10?' surgical dressiugs. A total it 221,292,838 artleies—of an estimated aggregate value of at least 144.000.000. ' Th*«e articles were largely the product t-f women’s hand*, snd, by the •ame token.

Miim j Sp*,it in Work. By th* >erms under which the first Bed Cross war fund was raised, the chapters- were entitled to retain 25 per cent of the amount collected, in order defray local expenses, tecarry on their home service work, to purchase ma­ terials to be utilized in chapter produc­ tion and otherwise to meet the numer­ ous calls made upon them. The chap­ ters were thus entitled to retain nearly $29,000,000. As a matter of fact, their actual retentions amounted to only about *22.000,000. Out of collections from annual mem- berships, the chapters have retained abour S 11,000,000. From '.his total sum, therefore, of $33,- 000,000 retsined by (lie chapters, they have reel;;!! the oftentimes very heavy loco! <lfcui?:*ds upon them, and In addi­ tion ,1JKYC provided for use by national, headquarters products valued, as stated abo*e, nt upwards of S4-5 000 - 000. J?lie chapters have in effect returned to tlie War Council, not aloiie the $33,- 000,000 retained out of Uie war fund membership dues but, in value of actual product, an additional contribu­ tion of nt least 511 ,000,000. It will thus, been seen that during the eighteen months which have elapsed iloee the United. .States en­ tered the war, the American people will have either paid ini or pledged' to the American Red Cross for its-work «f relief throughout the world, In money or 5n material vahven, a . net total, of at least (325,000,000 ‘V '' . : - er In the world,” is seeking to draw "a vast net of mercy through an ocean of unspeakable pain.” t Red Cross Worth Recognized. Nothing is withheld that can be given over there to supplement the efforts of our army and navy In caring for our own boys. The Red Cross does not pretend to do the work of the medical corps of the army or the navy; its purpose is to help and to supple­ ment. Nor does the Red Cross seek to glorify what It does or those who do It; our satisfaction is In the result, which, we are assured by Secretary Baker, General Pershing, General Ire­ land and all our leaders, is of Ines­ timable value and of indispensable im­ portance. By the first of January your Red Cross will have working in France up­ wards of 5,000 Americans—a vivid contrast to the little group of eighteen men and women which, as the first Bed Cross commission to France, sailed about June I, 1917, to Initiate tiur ef­ forts in Europe. Under your commission to Prance tlio work has been carefully organized, facilities have been provided, and ef­ fective efforts made to so co-operate with the army as to carry out the de­ termination of the American people, and especially of the members of the Red Cross, that our boys “over there” shall lack for nothing which may add to their safety, comfort and happiness. Your Red Cross now has active, op­ erating commissions in France, in Eng­ land, in Italy, in Belgium, In Switzer­ land, in Palestine and in Greece. Xou have sent a shipload of relief supplies and a group of devoted workers to northern Russia; you have dispatched a commission to work behind our arm­ ies in eastern Siberia; you have sent special representatives to Denmark, to Serbia and to the island of Madeira. Carries Message of Hope. Your Red Cross is thus extending re­ lief to the armies and navies of our allies; and you are carrying a practical message of hope and relief to the friendly peoples of afflicted Europe and Asia. Indeed, we are told by those best in­ formed in the countries of our allies that the efforts of your Bed Cross to aid the soldiers and to sustain the morale of the civilian populations left at home, especially in France and Italy, have constituted a very real fac­ tor in winning the war. The veil has already begun to lift The defection of Bulgaria, which by the time this message can be read may have been followed by events still more portentous, may point the way to yet greater Red Oross opportunity and ob­ ligation. “The cry from Macedonia" to corns and help will probably prove one of the most appealing messages to which the world has ever listened. What the Red Cross may be called upon to do In the further course of the war, or with the coming of victory, peace and reconstruction, it would be idle to attempt to prophesy. But your great organization, in very truth “the mobilized heart and spirit of tlie whole American people,” has shown itself equal to any call, ready to respond to any emergency. Spirit of AU Best and Highest. The American Red Cross has become uot so raucli an organization as a great movement, seeking to embody in organ­ ized form the spirit of service, the spirit of sacrifice—in short, all that is best and highest In the ideals and as­ pirations of our country. Indeed we cannot but believe that this wonderful spirit which service in and for the Bed Cross has evoked in this war, is destined to become, in our national life an element of permanent value. At Christmas time we shall ask the whole American people to answer the Bed Gross Christmas roll call. It will constitute a unique appeal to every man, woman and child in this groat ■and of ours to become enrolled in our army of mercy. It is tlie hope of the War Council that this Christmas membership roll call shad constitute a reconsecration of the whole American people, an in­ spiring reassertion to mankind that in this hour of world tragedy, not to con­ quer but to serve is America's supreme aim. officers training All draft registrants between the ages of 18 and 46 are eligible ex­ cept registrants in class I who regis­ tered prior to September 12 and reg­ istrants In deferred classification on account -of industrial occupation or employment, including agriculture.

Mobile, Ala.—The first “Invisible Empire,” which was brought into be­ ing by General Forrest after the Civil war to offset the evils of the carpet­ bag rule In the Southern states, has been succeeded by a second “Invisible Empire.” The Ku Klux Klan, silent, daring and terrible, is once more or­ ganizing In many localities of the Sonth.

Through co-operation of the rail­ roads and the two organizations nam­ ed, the campaign will be waged under the direction of Mr, Frank B.

Colonel Stiles made the following statement: "In order to clear this matter up, I wish to say that I personally am responsible for the policy that has been followed in regard to whiskey, and I have no apology whatever to make for the course I adopted. This is not the time to raise ques­ tions as to whether or not tue .State Medical society of North Carolina has or has not taken a position that drugs other than whiskey can take the place of whiskey.

Since North Carolina is to be de­ prived this year of the observance of Are prevention day, November 2, and Will not have the public gatherings in this connection that usually give additional impetus to the active and effective observance of the week fol- lowing—November 4-9—as clean-up week. Insurance Commissioner Jas. R. Young, as fire marshal, is especially stressing the importance of the clean­ up week observance in the cities and towns and in the rural communities and wants the community leaders all through the State to get behind the movement as a conservation effort eminently worth while in saving lives and property in this State from the fire Se1Bd that annually destroys around $4,000,000 North Carolina prop­ erty and takes a toll of 300 or more lives. Tne mayors, the chiefs of fire de­ partments, the police and the business and • civic organizations in all the cities and towns and county and rural community workers are to take the active leadership in the cleaanip movement and see that the facilities for the clean-up work in the homes and places of business have the es­ sential support necessary in means of carting away the waste material that should be dragged out of closets, at­ tics, cellars and outhouses and back­ yards where it constitutes all too great a menace as a cause of prevent­ able frres and to harboring disease germs.

A strike agitator appeared in the community and sought to foment trouble. The stevedores, siiipworkers and washerwomen of the city were called out on strike, in spite "of the fact that they were making a good wage and did not want to strike. Xhen a rumor spread that the man planning the strike was in personal danger. He was apprehended by the police and was being taken to head­ quarters when the patrol was stopped by a’ squad of motorcars, each covered with white cloth bearing the insignia "Invisible Empire,” the fiery cross of Scotland. The agitator was taken. What became of him is unknown. But there was no strike. In Birmingham, AIa., an agitator sought to start trouble In the big mills.

Synopsis.—Fired by the sinking of the Lusitania, with the loss of American lives, Arthur Guy Bmpey, an American living In Jersey City, goes to England and enlists, as a private In the British army. After a short experience as a recruiting officer In London, he is sent to train­ ing quartets In France, where he first hears the sound of big guns and makes the acquaintance of “cooties.” After a brief period of training Empey’s company is sent into the front-line trenches, where he takes his first turn on the fire step while the bullets whiz overhead. Empey learns, as comrade falls, that death lurks always In the trenches. Chaplain distinguishes himself by rescuing wounded men under hot ’ flre. with pick and shovel Empey has experience as a trench digger iU No Man’s Land. Exciting experience on listening post detail.

He remained there all night, listen­ ing to the sound of the guns and ever praying, praying that his useless life would be spared. As dawn began to break, he could discern little dark objects protruding from the ground all about him. Curi- O B lty mastered his fear and he crawled to one of the objects, and there, in the uncertain light, he read on a Uttle wooden cross *"Pte. H. S. Wheaton, No. 1670, 1st Loodon Regt. B. F. Killed In action. April 25, 1916. B- I. P.” (Rest in Peace). lSVhen it dawned on him that be had been hiding all night in a cemetery his reason seemed to leave him, and a mad desire to be free from it all made him rush madly away, falling over lit­ tle wooden crosses, smashing some and trampling others under his feet. In his flight he came to an old French dugout, half caved in and par­ tially filled with slimy and filthy wa­ ter. Like a fox being chased by the hounds, he ducked Into this hole, and threw hlmsfelf on a pile of old empty sandbags, wet and mildewed. Then— unconsciousness. On the next day, he came to; far distant voices sounded In his ears. Opening his eyes, in the entrance of the dugout he saw a corporal and two men with fixed bayonets. The corporal was addressing him; “Get up, you white-livered blighter! Curse you and the day you ever joined D company, spoiling their fint rei ord! It'll be you up against the u all and a good job too. Get hold of him men, and if he makes a break, glte him the bayonet, and send It home, the cow ardly sneak. Come on, you, mow-, we’Te been looking foC you long enough.” Lloyd, trembling and weakened by his long fast, tottered out, assisted by a soldier on each side of him. They took him before .the captain, but could get nothing out of him but: “For God’s sake, sir, Qon't have me shot, don’t have me shot!” The captain, utterly disgusted with him, sent him under escort to division headquarters for trial by court-mar­ tial, charged with desertion under fire. They shoot deserters In France. During Ws trial, Lloyd sat as one dazed, and could put nothing forward in his defense, only an occasional “Don’t have me shot!” His sentence was passed: “To be shot at 3:38 o’clock In the morning of May IS, 1916.” This meant that he had only one more day to live. He did not realize, the awfulness of his sentence; his brain seemed para­ lyzed. He knew nothing of his trip, under guard, In a motor lorry to the sandbagged guardroom in the village, where he was dumped on the floor and left, while a sentry with a fixed bayo­ net paced up and down in front of the entrance. Bully beef, water and biscuits were left beside him for his supper. The sentry, seeing that he ate noth­ ing, came Inside and shook him by the shoulder, saying In a kind voice: “Clieero, laddie, better eat ’some­ thing. Fou’ll feel better. - Don’t give up hope. XouTI be pardoned before morning. I know the way they run these things. They’re only trying to scare you, that’s all. Come now, that’s a good lad, eat something. It’ll make the world look different to you.” The good-hearted sentry knew he' was lying about the pardon. He knew nothing short of a miracle could save the poor lad. Lioyd listened eagerly to his sentry’s words, and believed them. A look of hope came into his eyes, and he raven­ ously ate the meal beside him. . In about an hour’s time, the chap­ lain came to see him, but Lloyd would htrve none of him. He wanted no par­ son ; he was to be pardoned. The artillery behind the lines sud- «8nly opened up with every thing they had. An intense bombardment of the enemy’s lines had commenced. The roar of the guns was deafening. Lloyd’s fears came back with a rush, and he cowered on tbe earthen floor with his hands over his face. The sentry, seeing his position, came In and tried to cheer him by talking to him: “Never mind them guns, boy, they won’t hurt you. They are ours. We are giving the Boches a dose of their own medicine. Our boys are going over the top at dawn of the morning to take their trenches. We'll give ’em a taste of cold steel with their sausages and beer. Xou just sit tight now until they relieve you. Tll have to go now, lad, as it’s nearly time for my relief, and I don’t ‘want them to see me a-talkin' with you. So long, laddie, cheero.” With this, the sentry resumed the pacing of his post. In about ten min­ utes’ time he was relieved, and a D company man took his place. Looking into the guardhouse, the sentry noticed the cowering attitude Of Lloyd, and, with a sneer, said to him “Instead of whimpering in that cor­ ner, you ought to be saying your pray­ ers. It’s bally conscripts like you what’s spoilin’ our record. We’ve been out here nigli onto eighteen months, and you’re the first man to desert his post. The whole battalion is laughin’ and pokin’- fun at D company, bad luck to you! but you won’t get another chance to disgrace us. They’ll put your lights out in the mornin’.” After listening to this tirade, Lloyd, in a faltering voice, asked: “They are not going to shoot me, are they? Why, m He Betrayed His Country. the other sentry said they’d pardon me. For God’s sake—don’t tell me I’m to be shot I” and his voice died away in a sob.“Of course, they’re going to shoot you. The other sentry was jest a-kid din’ you. Jest like old Smith. Always a-tryin’ to cheer some one. Xou ain’t got no more chance o’ bein’ pardoned than I lia?e of gettin’ to be colonel of my ‘batt.’ ”When the fact that all hope was gone finally entered Lloyd’s brain, calm seemed to settle over him, and rising to his knees, with his arms stretched out to heaven, he prayed, and all of his soul entered into the prayer. “O good and merciful God, give me strength to die like a man! Deliver me from this coward’s death. Give me a chance to die like my mates in the fighting line, to die fighting for my country. I ask this of thee.” A peace, hitherto unknown, came to him, and he crouched and cowered no more, but calmly waited the dawn, ready to go to hla death. The shells H C MARKETS Lloyd listened to the words with a strange interest, and wondered what kind of a home he would go to across the Great Divide. It would be the only home he had ever known. Suddenly theni came a great rushing through tbe air, a blinding, a deafen­ ing report, and the sandbag walls of the guardroom toppled over, and then —blackness. When Lloyd recovered conscious­ ness, he was lying on his right side, facing what used to be the entrance of the guardroom. Now, it was only a jumble of rent and torn sandbags. His head seemed bursting. He slowly rose on his elbow, and there In the east the dawn was breaking. -But what was that mangled shape lying over there among the sandbags? Slowly dragging himself to It, he saw the body of the sentry. One look was enough to know that he was dead. The soldier’s head was missing. Tlie sentry had had his wish gratified. He had “gone home.” He was safe at last from the “whizz- bangs” and the AUemand. Like a flash it came to Lloyd that he was free. Free to go “over the top” with bis company. Free to die like a true Briton fighting for his king and country. A great gladness and warmth came over him. Carefully stepping over the body of the sentry, he started on a mad race down the ruined street of the village, amid tbe bursting shells, minding them not, dodging through or around hurrying platoons on their way to also go “over the top.” Coming to a communication trench he could not get through. It was blocked with laugh­ ing, cheering and cursing , soldiers. Climbing out of the trench, he ran wildly along the top, never heeding tht rain of machine-gun bullets and shells, not even hearing the shouts of the of­ ficers, telling him to get back into the trench. He was going to join his com­ pany who were in tbe front line. He was going to fight with them. He, the despised coward, had come into his own. ■While he was racing along, jumping over trenches crowded with soldiers, a ringing cheer broke out all along the front line, and his heart sank. He knew he was too late. His company had gone over. But still he ran madly. He would catch them. He would die with them. Meanwhile his company bad gone “over.” They, with the other com­ panies had taken the first and second Genoan trenches, and had pushed steadily on to the third line. D com­ pany, led by their captain, the one who had sent Lloyd to division headquar­ ters for trial, charged with desertion, had pushed steadily forward until they found themselves far in advance of the rest of the attacking force. “Bomb -Ing out” trench after trench, and using their bayonets, they came to a German communication trench, which ended in a blindsap, and then the captain, and what was left of his men, knew Oiey were In a trap. They would not re­ tire. D company never retired, and they were D company. Right In front of them they could see hundreds of Germans preparing to rush them with bomb and bayonet. They would have some chance if ammunition and bombs could reach them from the rear. Their supply was exhausted, and the men realized It would be a case of dying as bravely as possible, or making a run for it. But D company would not run. It was against their traditions and principles. The Germans would have to advance across an open space of three to four hundred yards before they could get within bombing distance of the trench, and then it would be all their own way. Turning to his company, the captain said:“Men, it's a case of going West for us. We are out of ammunition and bombs, and the Boches have us in a trap. They will bomb us out. Our bayonets are useless here. We will have to go over and meet them, and it’s a case of thirty to one, so send every thrust home, and die like the men of D company should. When I give the word, follow me, and up and at them. Give them h ! Lord, if we only had a machine gun, we could wipe them out! Here they come, get ready, men.” Asheville.

Beginning with 1831 this country has had five epidem­ ics, the last in 1889-90.There is no occasion for panic—influ­ enza Itself has a very low percentage of fatalities—not over one death out of every 400 cases, according to the N.

Kipling Poem Called Inaulb Canon Knox Little was an Irish­ man who had the reputation of al­ ways saying what he thought and of MiylDg it In the most forcible manner possible.' It is related that he once very unmistakably disagreed with Rudyard Kipling on the subject of tbe jatier’s "muddled oafs”- and “flanneled. fbols.” The canon happened to have three sons fighting against the JBoers, and he told Mr. Kipling that his words were not poetry at all but just mere insult. Another line to which the canon objected, and, as events since 1914 have proved, rightly objected, was: “Sons of the sheltered city—un­ made, unbandied, unmeet” The sons of the sheltered cities have so thor­ oughly Vindicated themselves as nei­ ther to care what poets have said about them nor .even to need that anyone should take up the cudgels on their behalf. But it is evident that even poetry will have to submit to the general revision which is to mark- Die close of the war. passages, nose, throat and bronchial tubes; there is usually a hard cough, especially bad at night; oftentimes a sore throat or tonsillitis, and frequently all the appearances of a severe head cold.THE TREATMENT Go to bed at the first symptoms, not only for your own sake, but to avoid spreading tbe disease to others—take a purgative, eat plenty of nourishing food, remain perfectly quiet and don’t worry. Quinine, aspirin or Dover’s Powders, etc., may be administered by the physician's directions to relieve the aching. But there is no cure or spe­ cific for influenza—the disease must run its course. Nature herself will throw off the attack if only you keep up your strength. The chief danger lies in.the complications which may arise. Influenza so weakens the bodily resistance that there is danger of pneu­ monia or bronchitis developing, and sometimes Inflammation of the middle ear, or heart affections. For these rea­ sons It Is very important that the patient remain in bed until his strength returns—stay in bed at least two days or more after the fever has left you, or if you are over 50 or not strong stay in bed four days or more, according to the severity of the attack. EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS In order to stimulate the lining ot the air passages to throw off the grippe- germs, to aid In loosening, the phlegm and keeping the air passages open, thus- making the breathing easier, Vick’s- VapoRub will be found effective. Hot, wet towels should be applied over the throat, chest and back between the shoulder blades to open the pores- Then VapoRnb should be rubbed In over tbe parts until the skin Is red, spread on thickly and cover with two thicknesses of hot flannel cloths. Leave the clothing loose around the neck, as the heat of the body liberates the in­gredients in the form of vapors. These vapors, inhaled with each breath, corry the- medication directly to the parts affected. At the same time VapoRub is absorbed through and stimulates the skin, attracting the blood to the surface, aBd thus aids In relieving the congestion within. HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE Evidence seems to prove that this is a germ disease, spread principally by human contaet, chiefly through coughing, sneezing or spitting. So . avoid persons having colds—which means avoiding crowds—common drinking cups, roller towels, etc. Keep up your bodily strength by plenty of exercise in the open air, and good food. Above all, avoid colds, as colds irri­ tate the lining of the air passages and render them much better breeding places for the germs. KEEP FREE FROM COLDS Use Vick’s VapoRub at the very first sign of a cold. For a head cold, melt a little VapoRub In a spoon and inhale the vapors, or better still, use Vapo- Rub In a benzoin steam kettle. H this is not available, use an ordinary tea­kettle. Fill half-full of boiling wa­ ter, put in half- a teaspoon of VapoRub from time to time—keep the kettle Just slowly boiling and inhale the steam arising. Note—Vick’s VapoRub is the dis­ covery of a North Carolina druggist, who found how to combine, in salve form, Menthol and Camphor with such.- volaUle oils as Eucalyptus, Thyme. Cu-- bebs, etc., .so that when the salve is ap­ plied to the body heat, these ingredi­ ents are liberated in the form of va-. pors. VapoRub is comparatively new in New York State and New England and a few Western states where it is just now being introduced, but in other sec­ tions of the country it is the standard home remedy In more than a million homes for all forms of cold troubles; Over six -million jars were sold last year. VapoRub can be had In three sizes at all druggists. ■ It is particular- . Iy recommended for children’s croup and colds, since it is externally applied and therefore can be used as freely as. desired without the slightest harmful, effects.

ASUfiIKB ST B BEBEBDY COilOBlOAQO united States Has Gas Mask That Fully Protects the Wearer—One Concern Turns Out Hundred Hand Grenades a Minute. .From Committee on Public Information.) Washington.—In the’midst of the discussions of peace, Assistant Secre­ tary of War Benedict Crowell has made public statistics to demonstrate that the United States has not abated its efforts or ceased its preparations to prosecute the war to a -victorious conclusion. “A proof that there is not the slight­ est relaxation,” said Assistant Secre­ tary Crowell, “Is found In the fact that congress has just been asked to increase by $1,100,000,000 its appro­ priations for heavy cannon. The en­ emy is being driven back and this is the best time to Increase our pres­ sure. It would be the worst time to pause. This applies to civilians as well as to the military forces. It is not the time to question when or Iiow the end of the war will come.” Assistant Secretary Crowell said that an idea of the immensity of the supplies required by a single branch of our forces overseas, for which ad­ ditional finances are necessary, is in­ dicated by the shipment of materials from' this country to France by the engineer corps up to August 31, 1913. These shipments included 277,000 tons of rails and accessories for stand­ ard and narrow gauge track, 45,000 tons of structural steel, 7,000 tons of corrugated Iron, 16,000 tons of barbed wire, 17,000 tons of metal building ma­ terials, 6,300,000 square yards of camouflage materials—wire netting, fish netting and burlap, pontoon equip­ ment for three divisions, and 57,000 tons of lumber, ties, stringers and piles. In addition to these supplies, large quantities of engineering materials have been purchased also In England, France and Switzerland, Assistant Secretary Crowell pointed out. The aggregate tonnage of these purchases up to June'39, 1919, he estimated at more than 600,000 tons. Hundreds of thousands of tons of supplies are on the docks in this coun­ try waiting transportation abroad, As­ sistant Secretary Crowell said, but the ships to carry them are being pro­ duced. There was a very large in­ crease In ships In September, he said. Motor trucks must be shipped “knocked down” and distributed among different vessels, the assistant secretary explained. This is done to meet the demands of the shipping peo­ ple. Locomotives are shipped In two ways—completely “set up” and “knocked down,” Those that are ship­ ped "set up” are landed and steam away under their own power. More than 5,000 motor trucks were sent to France In September, the as­ sistant secretary announced. The number would have been much smaller If they had been forwarded “set up.” Employees of the Single Service corporation of New York were recent­ ly commended, by Maj. Gen. C. C. Wil­ liams. chief of ordnance, for having attained a production of more than 100 band grenades a minute. The grenade manufactured by this con­ cent is of the “offensive type,” which Is used by infantry when making an attack to "clean up” the enemy’s trenches and other systems of de- , fense. The third. million of grenades made by this company was shipped ‘to France* in the middle of last month, having been produced in exactly one month’s time. In the week* ending September 14, Qie plant shipped a total of more than 300,000—which was at the. rate of 55,000 a day, Saturday being counted as four-ninths of a day. This record was attained notwith­ standing that the plant was closed down ahead of time on September 12 to permit employees to register for the draft The maximum production was reached Friday, September 13, when 66,200 grenades were turned out. Sim­ ple as It appears when completed. It requires twenty-five distinct opera­ tions ‘ to make a grenade. Iteports to the United States fuel administration disclose that the say­ ing of gasoline through the discontinu­ ance of pleasure, motoring on Sunday has aggregated between 650,000 and 700,000 barrels. The requirements in France continue heavy, und it Is ex­ pected further deprivations of Sunday driving may be necessary. The' United States fuel administra­ tion has announced that pending an in­ vestigation Into the Increase of 200 per cent In the number of coal and coke distributors, In the last seven months, no additional licenses' to distribute these classes of fuel wiil be Issued. It Is believed that many of those who engaged In the business of distributing coal and coke since Qie adoption of the purchasing agent’s • commission. plan last March, have contributed neither skill nor experience to the distribution of coal. In a way to insure the success­ ful prosecution of the war. German forces opposing the advance of the AmerlcanTine on the.- Lorraine front' have brought into play’ every method of defense considered effec- Qve in modern warfare, and In par­ ticular they are making heavy use of poison gas. Pershing’s men have been unceasingly bombarded with “mus­ tard" shells and every effort has been made to drench American positions with deadly fumes. It is considered a tribute to the chemical warfare work in the United States that these frantic endeavors to stay the progress of the American offensive have proved utter­ ly futile. The American attacking forces ore protected against gas by masks which actual field tests prove are twenty times more efficient than those lit use by the Germans. The war department contends that there is not a single recorded case of an American soldier falling a victim to a gas attack when protected by the mask that is now be­ ing manufactured In the United States. . Every American soldier who goes to Frauce is trained to adjust his mask with almost incredible speed. The mask is put on with just five motions of the arms and hands. The man who fails to accomplish the feat within a limit of six seconds’ time is left behind when his unit goes to the front; Re­ cently,In a praeUee drill, one company of Americans set a record of four seconds, counting from the instant the order to don masks w as given to the moment when adjustment was made by the slowest man. American masks wiQistand tests tlrnt German masks cannot meet. Ger­ man masks will not afford protection against a high concentration of gas. Tlus was demonstrated recently when the British assembled a sufficiently large battery of projectors to put sev­ enty tons of phosgene gas into the air at once, with consequences quite well known to the German general staff. There is no concentration that the American masks will not defy. This lias been amply attested not only on the battlefield but in the experimental stations in this country. The American gas mask was devel­ oped by actual manufacture. The Iiroper authorities obtained complete information about the French and British musks, and full data as to the efficiency they demonstrated un­ der German gas attacks. With this knowledge, an order, for making sev­ eral thousand masks was placed in this country. Members of the force of 300 officers and 2,000 enlisted men who are credited with the producQon of this means of defense showed the courage of their convictions by volun­ teering for experiments. From Qme to time they donned the masks and exposed themselves to actual gas at­ tacks. American ingenuity suggested improvements in the original models and as a result the officers of the al­ lied armies are unanimous that the American mask is the best on the western front. Although a gas mask is an uncom­ fortable bit of gear the- first few Qmes it Is worn, the soldiers soon become accustomed to the handicap on the natural method of breathing. It fits over the head like a baseball- catcher’s mask. A hose clip closes the nostrils and Insures breathing through the mouth, by means of a tube that is connected with a canister filled with chemicals. The breath exhaled leaves the mask through a flutter valve near the chin. Air cannot reach the mouth except by passing first through the chemicals in the canister,, and the most exhaustive tests show that these chemicals never fail to extract the poison. At the end of thorough training in this country, American soldiers can wear the masks for almost an Indefi­ nite period, and can Indulge In practi­ cally any form of activity while wear­ ing them. Pershing’s men—merely as a “stunt”—have played baseball and soccer while wearing the regulaQon American army masks. On numerous occasions the soldiers have served bat­ teries under hurricane fire for periods of twelve hours without taking off their masks. For Qie month of August waste of foodstuffs, which Include bread, cooked meat, grease and bones, was reduced to three-fifths of a pound a man per day In the various camps and canton­ ments of the army ' in this country. The facts have Just been made public by the conservation and reclamaQon division of the quartermaster corps. This figure is much lower than that for waste among the civilian popula­ tion of any of the larger eiUes In the United States. Statistics gathered from 31 camps and cantonments show ; a- total garbage coilecQon of 592.1: pounds per 1,000 men a day. In the course of the month the con­ servation aud reclamation division re­ paired In the camps a total of 1,733,- JSo arQcles of wearing-apparel—hats, uniforms, leggings, shoes, underwear, sweaters, blankets and the like. The dry cleaning and pressing shops clean­ ed and pressed 1.618,863 garments, and there were laundered 6,119,611 pieces The revenue from reclamation was $70,567.40.* . The revenue from laundry work was $184,719. Thirty thousand beds are now ready for American wounded in southern France, and American hospital units are being detailed at Nice and other points along the Riviera.

The up-to-date bank robber will have to steal a march on the military geni­ uses of the age if he has any hope of accomplishing his designs. For Wal­ ter Watson Arnold of Dawson, N. M., has invented and patented an nrmor- plate cage for bank -tellers, according to Popular Science Monthly. “Hands up!” says the gentlemanly robber, and is obeyed with the ex­ pected alacrity. But the bank offi­ cial’s foot surreptitiously releases a spring that causes sliding doors of ar- mor-plate to move Iato place and en­ case him. Adjustable plates fixed over the openings in a teller’s cage are con­ nected by a system of cables and pul­ leys with, some stationary member at­ tached beneath the desk. When not In use, , a trigger engages sectional weights 'applied to the pulleys. The trigger is connected with the arm of a bell crank lever, the other arm of which is connected with a rod or ca­ ble that is again attached to the foot lever. Too Much.

Already the Shipping Board has announced that ten per cent of its workers had been affected. The disease has made its greatest progress in the East where it hai claimed its victims by the thousands Reports from other sections, how­ ever. are equally alarming; and boll civil and Thilitarv authorities havt warned the 'pubHc'To. take everj precaution to prevent its .further spread. In many'' cities schools' churches and theatres have beer closed and public gatherings of al kinds forbidden. ftiedica! authorities agree tha- people who are weak and rundowi are the easiest victims.of the Influ enza epidemic. If you find yourseb tired, weak and losing flesh, or if you: are in a generally' run down con­ dition, or if you catch cold easilj this' warning should be heeded promptly.

Last summer when the draft law went into effect, Jim, her beau, one of the boys In the store, marched away to war. Lillie wept for a day or" two, of course. Any -girl would hare wept. But Lillie didn’t weep long. A new thought came to her. If Jim was glad to go and fight for his country why should Bhe not be glad to fight too' She laid' aside tears and began to think what she could do. The op­ portunity came. She organized the clerks in the store into a War Sav­ ings. Society, and she and they began to sell War Savings Stamps along with laces and the other articles of their departments.’ They bought them too. Part of their salaries each week was converted into the little green •tickers. Lillie had been fold that War Sav­ ings Stamps-Would not. only send ships •; over- the seas to France, but that they would furnish money to manu­ facture depth bombs, that would shat­ ter the biggest U-boats aoat in the Atlantic Ocean. She knew that U- boats were lurking for the transport that ecryied Jim and other AmpH^an soldiers Across, and she reasoned that it every American girl would buy and sell War Savings StampB that all oi them could, make it possible for the Government to manufacture the depth bombs that would destroy the U-boatE and put the whole German submarine business at the bottom of the sea. “Anyway,” said Lillie, “I’m going tc destroy one. I can sell enough o: War Savings Stamps to enable the Government to manufacture^ one -bomb that will sink a submarine. J can do this much for my country and Jim,” she said. Lillie Frill did it. She's doing K yet. Though she is a little girl, blond and slender and not very pret­ ty, she- is not only putting up a gooc fight herself but she is leading e whole band, of fighters. -The entire store force through her influence if fighting the _ German U-boats systenr every day, and you have already heard how they are winning.

Page Reaches Important Agreement With . Cottonseed Crushera-Faremrs Urg­ ed to Pool Seed. R aleigh.—The cottonseed producers of North Csirolina will receive tens oi thousands of dollars extra this year as. a result of an agreement reached be-, tween State Food Administrator Henry A, Page and the North Carolina Cottonseed Crushers’ Association, whereby the crushers are to pay the same prices to farmers as they pay to cottonseed dealers on lots of ten tons or more delivered at their mills with­ in a period of five days. The Crush- ersagreed to.not only do this but to encourage the.smaller farmers to pool their seed eo as to secure the higher price, which otherwise would be IosL The difference between the cartot rate and wagon rate for seed is 13.00 per toff which the farmer can save by the new agreement Mr. Page authorized and instructed the mills, where farmers' haul seed from a point nearer to, a railway ship­ ping point than to the mill, to pay the farmer for hauling the amount they would have been compelled to pay as freight from the shipping point. • These agreements and orders will result not only in a saving of tens of thousands of dollars to the farmers, but will effect a tremendous saving In freight tonnage and bring about the supplying of all mills to a much greater extent from their, immediate localities. ^ — ZONES ESTABLISHED FOR NORTH CAROLINA Cottonseed Prices Stabilized on High Basis,- $70 in Eastern Carolilna, $72 in Western Section. Raleigh.—State Food Administrator Henry A .' Page has announced the price of cotton_ seed and established two' zones for cotton seed in North Carolina. The price of cottonseed has been fixed at a slightly higher average fig­ ure than the figure received for them by farmers last year. The price oi oil has been stabilized at the same figure, thanks to the Food Adminis­ tration’s Influence with the refiners and compound lard manufacturers through its control of export sales of their product. The maximum price of hulls will- be $20 per ton. The price of meal will 'be a little higher 1Eit the mill than it was last year unless the War Industries Beard can be influenced to increase the price of linters from the present figure of $4.67 per hundred. If the price of linters is increased, the price of meal will be dcreased. The price of cottonseed was fixed at the figure suggested by the produc­ ers of'cottor.seed as- represented by the Commissioners of Agriculture and farmers’ organizations throughout the South. The price for seed will range frcm $64 to $72 per ton, depending upon oil and protein content. * Tlie whole South is being divided in zones, according to the oil and pro­ tein content in the respective zones. North Carolina will be divided , into two zones. The eastern zone showed last year an average oil content of 307 1-2 pounds per ton,-and the price of seed In this zone will be $70 per ton. The content of oil in the western zone was 315 pounds per ton, and the price of seed in this zone .will be $72 per ton. The eastern zone embraces all of that territory- east of the eastern boundaries of Robeson, Hoke, Lee, Wake, Franklin and, Warren counties,- and the western zone the counties named and all counties west of them.
