Dear Mother and Homefolks: — Will try to drop you a few lines while here for a short rest period. We have moved several times since I wrote last, and have been in a real honest-to-goodness fight. We were in the line several days, and had the honor (our division) of breaking the Hindenburg Line, (but I can’t tell you just where) and it was not childs play either. I have read lots of stories about a real scrap, but never dreamed how fierce one could be, and if anyone should ask you what a barrage is. tell them it is spelled with four let-/ ters “ H E L L ” Oh! but our boys did some fine work and we were complimented very highly by our division comman der. We made a big advance and had old Jerry oh the run right from the start, and I must say that I aiu proud of the fact that I belong to the Hdq.Co. 119th U. S. Inf. Its a hard fighting unit, and the best in the division. I had several narrow escapes, but I think the nearest was when two boys within 3 ft of me had their heads blown off. They never knew what hie them. Wecaptured many prisoners and suffered some casual ties, but most of them were slight injuries. Some officers (not Americans) that were attached to us, said our boys fought like veterans, and the only criticism was that tht-y went too fast. One of "Tommies” pet express ions “getting jour wind up” (mean ing getting scared) came into play in that engagement, for I think we all had our wind up at times. I re member I was b ing flat in a trench with three officers at.d one of tnem a major looked over and said "Its a gay life if you don’t weaken.” We have all had lots of fun over our ex perience “after it was over,' Ha. Well I have"accomplished another wish of mine now. I said that- I wanted to be in a reai fight at least once and I have, so I don’t care, if old Fri*z comes across and throws up the sponge. ■ Iknowthenewslooksgoodtoyou folks these days, the British paper .gave an account of our b~-ing in the Stunt. I saw two of our nurses this morn ing. I Went oyer „to- a ruined city that old Jerry occupied about four weeks ago. I sleot Under his blan kets in a dugout that he had occu pied a day before up the line. Had a chance to get lots of'souvenirs but didn’t get but one; as they are too much trouble to bring back. Well, one more month and we will be wearing our service stripe (6 months ) ASlI look back over our experience for the past few months over .here, I am quite well pleased with what we have accomplished, but of coui*se there has been some roueh sledding, and we have had some experiences^ I received two letters from home this week. Sure was glaa to get them. Say, you should see us. we are billited in an oid barn, and we hiked around and found an old dresser, some beds and cots, and Sgt. W. and myself have a regular room, Ha. and we have a cat with us. OurKitchen is in one end of the billet, My health has been real good, hav en’t been sick, and I hope I continue co stay'well. I hopeyouwillhave lots of eats when I come, as I think I could eat all you have. Oiir feed has beep good since we got back, but we didn’t have much up there as we were moving so fast. But we suffered for water. They couldn’t get it to us. I would have given 50 francs for a canteen of water. I lived four days on one can teen full and gave six fellows a clrink besides. That’s the first thing a wounded tnan wants, then a cigareti te and then he is O K. I n°ver saw such grit as spine of our fellows' showed, no matter how iadly wounded, never a whimper. Was a great sight watching the prisoners carrying, our wounded back. -1 saw sights I’ll never forget.

On the other side of these natural defenses the un happy. Germans are still clinging to positions which they hoped would af ford -them protection in a farther withdrawal. Railway communications -were be ing'destroyed and highways being blown'up as fast as the war materials could be removed. . The new German line would depend largely on the trend of -events, but indications are that the' enemy would stand temporar ily on the Dendre river, which affords an excellent defense.

American reserves are behind the lines prepared to aid the allies when the opportune moment arrives. On all of the other battle fronts the allied arms continue to be served. In Belgium, there has been little fighting, except by the artillery wings of the opposing armies, while , in the region around Valenciennes the en gagements between the British and the Germans have savored more oi outpost encounters than pitched bat ties. In whatever fighting there has been, however, Field Marshal Haig’s men have retained the upper hand and taken more prisoners and additional guns -and war stores.

NEW DRAFT REGISTRANTS TO MOBILIZE IN NOVEMBER TRANPORTATION FACILITIES LIMIT AIRCRAFT PRODUCTION. “SURRENDER OR DIE" ONLY CHOICE FOR HUNTED HUNS "New York.—-Whatever the diplo macy language of the allied ultimatum addresed to Germany in response to her request for an armistice, these cover its import—"Surrender or Die.” Tills is the choice that now presents itself to -the German empire, since at the present moment ,the German em pire, is bounded on/-the. east by Rus sian'bolshevism, on- the'south by Aus trian anarchy, on the west by Foch’s victorious armies and on the north by British blockade.

McManus, Al bemarle; Sdward -B. * Marsh, Salis bury* Thomas Kenneth Mial; Raleigh. Women who live near the canton- njsnts have found several ways of inak- Iny themselves very helpful to the boys stationed in their vicinity. So many of tli-e boys have left home for the first time and so many of them miss the homemade bread, pies, cookies and things that mother used to make. Women who cannot give time away from home to canteen work are mak ing themselves popular with the sol dier lads by baking for them. They make sandwiches of homemade bread and boiled ham or other meats, and oil sorts of pies. Of course it is nec essary to charge enough for them to cover the expense both of the” mate rials and the fuel and those who have tried the experiment have sold the sandwiches for ten cents each and a generous piece of pie for the same price. The- boys will spend their money for things to eat and consider good, substantial homemade things a special dispensation of Providence. Women who have tried this have won, their way into the hearts of many a boy who is a little hungry for hi* mother's cooking and a little homesick without acknowledging it. Some of the Red Cross chapters are making hospital slippers for con valescent soldiers of scraps of linoleum and wornout trousers of heavy wool cloth. It Is remarkable the way In which the war is teaching people how to utilize tilings that used to go to waste. The soles of the slippers are cut from the bits of linoleum,.the fig ured side to be the outside. The linoleum may be somewhat the worse for wear and still be used for these slipper soles. The uppers are cut from the good parts of worn trousers. They are made in different sizes and shapes. Directions for cutting them can be obtained through the Red Cross chapters. Soft insoles such as or<e used for bedroom slippers or Insoles of warm fabrics make them more com fortable. Our casualty lists are grow ing large and English casualties are much larger. Every woman will be glad to volunteer to do work of this kind for the comfort of the wounded. OVER THE IAND OF THE LONGLEAF PINE SHORT NOTES OF INTEREST TO CAROLINIANS. TIRED, DRAGGf Ultrs Smart Cape of Mink Fur \ V y To Use Lower Grades. In line with the government’s an nounced policy -to force a greater use of the lower grades of cotton, thereby stabilizing the price, manufacturers of cotlon fabrics for the army and navy will hereafter discowtinue consumption of more higher grades- than: necessary using' grades below middling. Fabrics manufactured on govern ment contracts will be judged 'by their strength, serviceability and suitability for purposes intehded, rather than by the grade of cotton used in their man utacture. Among the high-priced furs that may oe regarded as a really safe and good investment, Russian sable and mink have placed themselves firmly in the minds of women, as unquestioned. They are about as secure as a gov ernment bond and must Inevitably In crease in price, since the increase In wealth and in demand for fine furs outstrips that in available pelts. Even in these times women do not regard the finest furs as a luxury and do not- anticipate that their price will be low ered after the war. Furriers sell readily all the skins they have bought and made up and wish there were more of them. In selecting garments made of ex pensive skins it Is best to pick out the most conservative designs offered by dealers—so that the style will be' good from year to year. Fine furs, like Jewels, do not need to change with the changing modes, If they . do riot belong too palpably to one.season. The long, graceful and very beautiful cape shown in the Illustration is the sort of garment that may be worn year in and year out. It has a yqke in which the skins run horizontally, joined, to a body witl\ skins in which the dark markings run up and down. There are slashes in each side through which the arms slip when the cape is fastened up the front. This is a magnificent cape—made of sable or mink—It is a treasure to outlast a lifetime and is to’be cared for as befits its character. Small capes or scarfs, with muffs to match, In the best furs, lend an. air of elegance to the costume that will al ways be a satisfaction to their wear ers. A-Iittle neckpiece of ermine casts a luster of splendor about it. It Is the power -of suggestion more than their warmth that makes rich furs desirable In the eyes of women—to whom Tenny son assures us splendor is dear. There are- certain beautiful but short-lived furs that are for- those whose resources make generous allow ances for dress, without interfering with expenditures for even more es sential things. Nearly all furs—if well cared for—'Will outlast many seasons and prove a good Investment Some of them wear for years; as marten arid • mink,- sable,' Persian lamb, otter, and others ; these are a good Invest ment for anyone. Others by compari son are short lived—or “soft” furs. Mole skin is most beautiful, but as compared to mink or sealskin for in stance; it is fragile.. That does not stand in the way of its popularity, es pecially in small garments, with wom en of fashion, to whom durability is a secondary consideration. A very love ly and luxurious coat of mole skin Is shown above. When one thinks of the number of tiny skins that must be sewed together for this capacious gar ment, the item of labor In making It looms large. It is a royal coat and a wide collar of ermine is not too splen did to finish It at the neck. The pock ets are generous In size and banded at the top with ermine, the sleeves roomy and flaring. Egyptian In Effect. The Egyptian is said to be the dom inant influence in the new materials for hangings. Fabrics with this type of ornamentation have their use In certain places, but as in the case of the drap de guerre they require a clevir hand when the pattern Is of de cided Egyptian origin. Unless guided by an expert the average woman would do well to be satisfied ’with an odd piece done in these extreme novel ties. Frequently they are most effec tive when employed as bands on a natural-toned fabric or on a two-toned stripe. Entire hangings or whole sets covered with these designs are- likely to prove too heavy, and one soon tires of them. Plain Tailor-Mades. The ultra-smart suit for young wom en this autumn is severely plain and quite distinctly mannish; a trim, un belted coat without pockets and with narrow notched collar—no extra ma terial anywhere, certainly not In-the straight, narrow skirt that falls just over the top of the walking boot There is a military - trigness about these plain, beautiful tailored suits that appeals to the busy girl about OD war work business most of the day. .

Just as he finished speaking, the wel come “pup-pup” of a machine gun in their rear rang out, and the front line of the onrushlng Germans seemed to melt away. They wavered, but once again came rushing onward. Down went their second line. The machine gun was taking an awful toll of Uves. Then again they tried to advance, but the machine gun mowed them down. Dropping their rifles and bombs, they broke and fled In a wild rush back to their trench, amid the cheers of “D” company. They were forming again for another attempt, when in the rear of D company came a mighty cheer. The ammunition had arrived and with it a battalion of Scotch to re-enforce them. They were saved. The unknown machine gunner had come to the rescue In the nick of time. With the re-enforcements it was an oasy task to take the third German line. After the attack was over, the cap tain and three of his noncommissioned officers, wended their way. back to the position where the machine gun had done its deadly work. He wanted to thank the gun'ner in the name of D company for his magnificent deed. They arrived at the gun, and an awful sight met their eyes. Lloyd had reached the front line trench, after his company had left it. A strange company was nimbly crawling op the trench ladders. They were re enforcements going over. They were Bcotties, and they made a magnificent sight In tbeir brightly colored kilts and bare knees. Jumping over the trench, Lloyd raced across “No John’s Land,” unheeding the rain of bullets, leaping over dark forms 'on the ground, some of which lay still, while others'called out to him as he speeded past. He came to the German front line, but It was deserted, except for heaps of dead and wounded—a grim tribute to the work of his company, good old D company. Leaping trenches, and gasping for breath, Lloyd could see right ahead of him bis company in a dead-ended sap of a communication trench, and across the open, away in front of them, a mass of Germans pre paring for a charge. Why didn’t D company fire on them? Why were they so strangely silent? What were they waiting for? Then he knew—their am munition was exhausted. But what was that on his right? A machine gun. Why didn’t It open fire and save them? He would make that gun’s crew do their duty. Rushing over to the gun he saw why it had not opened fire. Scattered around its base lay six still forms. They had brought their gun to consolidate the captured position, but a German machine gun bad decreed they would never fire again. . Lloyd rushed to the gun and, grasp- ifng the traversing handles, trained it on the Germans. Hepressedthethumb piece, but only a sharp dick was the result. The gun was unloaded. Then he real iked his helplessness. He did not know how to load the gun. Oh, why hadn’t he attended the machine- gun course in England? He’d been offered the chance, but with a blush of shame he remembered that he had been afraid. The nickname of the machine gunners had frightened him. They were called the “Suicide club.” Now, because of this fear, his company would be destroyed, the men of D com pany would have to die, because he, Albert Hoyd, had been afraid of a name. In his shame he cried like a baby. Aryway he could die with them and, rising to his feet, he stumbled over the body of one of the gunners, who emitted a faint moan. A gleam of hope flashed through him. Perhaps this man could tell him how to load the gun. Stooping over the body he gently shook it and the soldier opened his eyes. Seeing Lloyd, lie closed them again and, in a faint voice, sold, “Get away, you blighter, leave me alone. I don’t want any coward around m.e.” The words cut Lloyd like a knife, but he was desperate. Taking the re volver out of the holster of the dying man he pressed the cold muzzie to the soldier’s head and replied: “Yes, it is Lloyd, the coward of Company D, but so help me God, if you don’t tell me how to load that gun I’ll put a bullet through your brain!” A sunny smile came over the coun tenance of the dying man and he said In a faint whisper: “Good old boy! I knew you wouldn’t disgrace our company " Lloyd interposed: “For God’s sake, if you want to save that company you are so prond of, tell me how to load that d d gun!” As if reciting a lesson in school, the soldier replied In a weak, singsong voice: "Insert tag end of belt In feed block, with Igft hand puli belt left front. Pull crank handle back on roll er, let go, and repeat motion. Gun is now loaded. To fire, raise automatic safety latch, and press thumbpieee. Gun is now firing. If gun stops, ascer tain position of crank handle—” But Lloyd waited for no more. With wild joy at his heart, he took a belt from one of the ammunition boxes ly ing beside the gun, and followed the dying man’s instructions. , Then he pressed tbe thumbpieee and a burst of fire rewarded his efforts. Tbe gun was working. Training it on the Germans he shout ed for joy as their front rank went down. Traversing the gun back and forth along the mass of Germans, he saw them break and run back to the cover of their trench, leaving their dead and wounded behind. He had -saved his compatiy, he, Lloyd, the coward, had “done his bit.” Releasing the thumb- piece, he looked at the watch on his wrist. He was still alive at "8:38.” “Ping!”—a bullet sang through the air, and Lloyd fell forward across the gun. A thin trickle of blood ran down his face from a little, black round hole in his forehead. * * * .* ' * • * “The sentence of the court had been “duly carried out.” The captain slowly raised the limp form drooping over the gun and, wip ing the blood from the white face, rec- . ognized it as. Lloyd, the coward of D company. Reverently covering the face with his handkerchief he turned to his “noncoms” and, in a voice husky with emotions, addressed them: “Boys, it’s Lloyd, the deserter. He has redeemed himself, died the death of a hero—died that his mates might live.” That afternoon a solemn procession wended its way toward the cemetery. In the front a stretcher was carried by two sergeants. Across the stretcher the Dnion Jack Was carefully spread. Behind the stretcher came a captain and forty-three men, all that were left of D company. Arriving at the cemetery, they halt ed in front of an open grave. All about them wooden crosses were broken and trampled into the ground. A grizzled old sergeant, noting this destruction, muttered under his breath: "Curse the cowardly blighter who wrecked those crosses! If I could only get these two hands around his neck his trip West would be short” The corpse on the stretcher seemed to move, or it might have been the wind blowing the folds of the Dnion Jack. CHAPTER XXV. Preparing for the Big Push. Rejoining Atwell after the execution I had a hard time trying to keep my secret from him. I think I must have lost at least ten pounds worrying over the affair. Beginning at seven in the evening It was our duty to patrol all communica- I l i i l l l met**™ tton and front-line trendies, m OktaJ note, of unusual occurrences, and ar resting anyone who should, to us, ap pear to be acting in a suspicious mam ner. We slept during the day. Behind the lines there was great ac tivity, supplies and ammunition pour ing In, and long columns of troops con stantly passing. We were preparing for the big offensive, the forerunner of the battle of the Somme or “Bi* Push.” The never-ending stream of men, supplies, ammunition and guns pour ing into the front lines made a mighty spectacle, one that cannot be de scribed. It has to be witnessed with your own eyes to appreciate its vast ness. At our part of the line the influx of supplies never ended. It looked like a huge snake slowly crawling forward, never a hitch or break, a wonderful tribute to the sy*em and efficiency of Great Britain’s “contemptible little army” of five millions of men. Huge fifteen-inch guns snaked along, foot by foot, by powerful steam tract- tors. Then a long line of “four point five” batteries, each gun drawn by six : horses, then a couple of “nine point • two” howitzers pulled by immense, caterpillar engines. | When one of these caterpillars would pass .me with its mighty monster In tow, a flush of pride would mount to my face, because I could plainly read on the name plate, “Made in U. S. A,” and I would remember that if I wore a name plate it would also read, “From the D. S. A ” Then I would stop to think how thin and straggly that mighty stream would be if all the “Made in D. S. A.” parts of it were withdrawn. Then would come hundreds of lim bers and “G. S.” wagons drawn , by sleek, well-fed mules, ridden by sleek, well-fed men, ever smiling, although I grimy with sweat and covered with the I fine, white dust of the marvelously well-made French roads. What a discouraging report the Ger man airmen must have taken back to their division commanders, and this stream is slowly but surely getting big-; ger and bigger every day, and the pace is always the same. No slower, no I faster, but ever onward, ever forward. Three weeks before the big push of July I—as'the battle of the Somme has been called—started, exact duplicates of the German trenches were dug about thirty kilos behind our lines. The layout of the trenches was taken from airplane photographs submitted by the Royal flying corps. The trench es were correct to the foot; they showed dugouts, saps, barbed wire de fenses and danger spots. Battalions that were to go over In the first waves were sent back for three days to study these trenches, en gage in practice attacks and have night maneuvers. Each man was required to make a map of the trenches and fa miliarize himself with the names and location of the parts his battalion was to attack. •In the American army noncommis sioned officers are put through a course of map making or road sketching, and during my six years’ service in the United States cavalry I had plenty of practice in this work, therefore map ping these trenches was a compara tively easy task for me. Each man had to submit his map to the company commander to be. passed upon, and I was lucky enough to have mine select ed as being sufficiently authentic to use In the attack. No photographs or maps are allowed to leave France, but in this case It ap pealed to me as a valuable souvenir ot the great war and I managed to smug gle it through.- At this time it carries no'military importance as the British lines, I am happy to say, have since been advanced beyond this point, so in having It in my possession I am not breaking any regulation or cautions of the British army. The whole attack was rehearsed and rehearsed until we heartily cursed the one who had conceived the idea. The trenches were named according to a system which made it very simple for Tommy to find, even In the dark, any point In the German lines. These imitation trenches, or trench models, were well guarded from obser vation by numerous allied planes which constantly circled above them. No German airplane could approach within observation distance. A re stricted area was maintained and no civilian was allowed within three miles,' so we felt sure that we had t great surprise In store for Fritz. (TO B E CONTINUED.) Isinglass From Fish Sounds. Isinglass is made from the sounds or swimming bladders of fish. One ton of hake, says the Popular Science Monthly, will yield from 40 to 90 pounds of sounds' These are dried, soaked, cut In pieces, rolled into sheets and cut Into ribbons. Tlie rib bons are dried and wound on wooden spools. One ounce of isinglass will clarify from 200 to 500 gallons of wine and one pound will clarify from 100 to 500 barrels of beer. It is used for making cement for mending glass and pottery and for adhesive plaster and enters into the manufacture of many tex’tiles and waterproof fabrics. GALLE0J 00 BOON Not Necessary to Summon Doc tor ’ " ■' Cases of Span ish Influenza. REST IN BED IS IMPORTANT Acute. Shortage of Medical and Nurs ing Service Makes It Imperative That People Learn Something of Care of Sick. Washington.—In an effort to reduce unnecessary calls on the over-worked physicians throughout the country be cause of the present epidemic of in fluenza, Surgeon General Blue of the United States public health service calls upon the people of the country to learn something about the home care of patients ill with influenza. Phy sicians everywhere have complained about the large number of unnecessary calls they have had to make because of the Inability of many people to dis tinguish between the, cases requiring expert medical care and those which could readily be cared for without a physician. With influenza continuing to spread in many parts of the coun try, and with an acute shortage of doc tors and nurses everywhere, every un necessary call on either physicians or nurses makes it so much harder to meet the urgent needs of the patients who are seriously ill. Present Generation Spoiled. “The present generation,” said the surgeon general, “has been spoiled by having had expert medical and nursing care readily available. It was not so In the days of our grandmothers, when every good housewife was expected to know a good deal about the care of the sick. “Every person who feels sick and appears to be developing an attack o t influenza should at once be put to bed in a well-ventilated room. If his bowels have moved regularly, it is not necessary to give a physic; where a physic is needed, a dose of castor oil or Rochelle salts should be given. “The room should be cleared of all unnecessary furniture, bric-a-brac, and rugs. A wash basin, pitcher, and slop bowl, soap and towel should be at hand, preferably In the room or just outside the door. “If the patient is feverish a doctor should be called, and this should be done in any case if the patient appears very sick, or coughs up pinkish (blood stained) sputum, or breathes rapidly and painfully. “Most of the patients cough up con siderable mucus; in some, there is much mucus discharged from the nose and throat. This material should not be collected in handkerchiefs, but rather in bits of old rags, or toilet pa per, or on paper napkins. As soon as used, these rags or papers should be placed in a paper bag kept beside the bed. Pocket handkerchiefs are out of place In the sick room and should not be used by patients. The rags or pa pers in the paper bag should be burned. “The patients will not be hungry, and the diet should therefore be light. Milk, a soft-boiled egg, some toast or crackers, a bit of jelly or jam, stewed fruit, some cooked cereal like oatmeal, hominy or rice—these will suffice in most cases. Comfort of PatienL “The comfort of the patient depends on a number of little things, and these •should not be overlooked. Among these may be mentioned a well-venti- Iated room; a thoroughly clean bed with fresh, smooth sheets and pillow cases ; quiet, so that refreshing sleep may be had; cool drinking water con veniently placed; a cool compress to the forehead if there Is headache; keeping the patient’s hands and face clean, and the hair combed; keeping his mouth clean, preferably with some pleasant mouth wash; letting the pa tient know that someone "is within call, but not annoying him with too much fussing; giving the patient plenty of opportunity to rest and sleep. “So much for the patient. It Is equally Important to consider the per son who Is caring for him. It is im portant to remember that the disease is spread by breathing germ-laden mat ter sprayed into the air by the patient in coughing or even in ordinary breath ing. The attendant should therefore wear a gauze mask over her mouth and nose while she is In the sick room. - Observe Cleanliness. "The attendant should, if possible, wear a washable gown or an apron which covers the dress. This will make It much simpler to avoid infection. "It is desirable that all attendants learn how to use-a fever thermometer. This is not at all a difficult matter, and the use of such a thermometer is a great help in caring for the patients. “In closing, and lest I be misunder stood, I wish to leave one word of caution: If in doubt, call the doctor.” F o r E ighteen Y ears She Has Found die Same Medicine Good.

W hen things are obvious, people keep looking for mysteries behind them. * So it is with the packing bus iness. The mere size of Swift & Company confuses many. Because their imaginations are not geared up to scale, they be lieve there must be magic in it somewhere—some weird power. Shvift & Company is just -like any other manufacturing business run by human beings like yourself; it takes in raw material on the one hand and turns out a finished product on the other. Swift & Company keeps down the “spread,” or the expense absorbed be tween raw and finished material, to as low a figure as possible. (If it didn’t it would be put out of business by others who do.) How much Swift & Company pays for the raw material, and how much it gets for the finished product, depends ’ upon conditions which Swift & Company does not control. It depends entirely upon how much people want the finished product, and how much raw material there is avail able to make it from. The profits of Swift & Company amount to less than one cent per pound on ati meats and by-products—less than one-fourth of a cent on beef. Essential That Corn Be Mature and Past the Dough State Before Cut— Make Use of Boys for Tramp, ing and Packing. fProm the TJnItea States Department of Agriculture.) On account of the labor shortage, neighborhood co-operation In silo fill* ing should be highly, developed during the current fall. All the silage crops should be saved without loss, while all silos should be filled to capacity. Five or six or more farmers who own silOs in One community' should combine their working forces Into a crew which should rotate from farm to farm as the corn becomes ripe enough, Such an arrangement resulting from the Interchange of neighborhood farm labor will minimize the expense of bousing the silage crops. It is essential that corn should not be cut for ensilage until it is mature and through the dough stage, as re peated demonstrations have shown conclusively that corn In this condi tion is at the peak of nutrient value. The bugaboo about frosted corn being wholly unsuitable for ensilage is a fal lacy, as corn which has been damaged with frost can be converted into very good ensilage if It is cut shortly after wards. In the case of badly frosted corn, however, there occurs a consid erable loss of leaves. Watering the Chopped Feed. In case the corn is excessively dry and wilted at the time of silo filling, water should be run through a rubber hose into the cutting box and blower during the filling process so that the chopped feed may be wet thoroughly, and rendered succulent for.future feed ing. In extreme cases where it Is im possible to saturate the corn com pletely In this mnnner, and where wa ter pressure Is available, a second hose is sometimes carried over the top of the silo so that the water falling on s board inclined against the side of the silo and moved at regular intervals serves efficiently to thoroughly moisten the forage. Use of EIevsting Attachment. Labor in loading the corn. on..the ■wagons In the field may be reduced by tbe use of an elevating attachment, several standard types of which are now on the market. This device is at- Keep Your Pledge Make Good for Our FighQng Men BUY WAR - SAVINGS STAMPS Swift & Company, U.S. A.

If it is de sired to start the binder several hours ahead, of the ensilage putter, , this at tachment is not used, as then the corn may -be dumped on the ground and from there, loaded by hand. "• In view of the current high prices, of grain, the specialists of the United States department of agriculture sug gest that, in many instances, the ears may be profitably snapped or husked 8nd only the fodder converted into silage.- By the practice of this sys tem the silo will still provide a wealth of cheap, succulent roughage. Sealing Is Neglected. Sealing of the dlo after the struc ture Is filled is too often neglected. There are a number of practical meth ods of topping off the silo so as to minimize waste and'spoilage. A com mon practice is to level the silage and then ato tramp over the-top thoroughly for 20 or 30 minutes every day for a week, In order to eliminate air pock ets near the top of the silo and to thoroughly compact the mass of feed. Then oats may be sown after the top o? the ensilage has been thoroughly soaked with water. Make Use of Boys. The specialists of the department recommend the use of boys in the silo for tramping and packing the ensilage during the filling process as conserva tive of man labor as well as silo space. Under this arrangement one man to handle the distributor pipe with three or four boys in an average 14 to 16- foot diameter silo will not only pack away the feed so that it will.all be suved, but they also .will render avail able the Maximum tonnage capacity of. the allQ, > TRACTOR IS SOURCE OF RELIABLE POWER Outfits of Illinois Farmers Kot Disabled Single Day.

The average time lost per day by the 46 per cent reporting trouble is a little over three-quarters of an hour.

PROPER STORAGE FOR BEETS When Placed in Cellar Avoid Large Piles as It Is Liable to Cause Heating and Decay. (Prepared by the United States D epart m ent of Agriculture.) Beets should be pulled and the tops cut off when the soil is dry. If they are to be.held in the storage room in the basement or in an outdoor storage cellar, they should be placed In venti lated barrels, loose boxes, or, better still, in crates. If sufficient space is available In the cellar, it Is a good plan simply to place them in small piles along the wall. Storage In large piles should be avoided, as it is liable to cause heating and decay. For storage In banks or pits prepare the beets as for storage in the room In the basement or In the outdoor cellar. Select a well-drained location, make a shallow excavation, about six inches deep, line it with straw, hay, leaves, or similar material, and place the beets In a conical pile on the lining. Make the- bottom of the pile about the same size as, but not larger than, the bottom of the excavation. Cover the beets with same material as that used for lining the bottom of the pit, and carry It up several inches above the apex of the pile of vegetables, having it extend through the dirt covering. This serves as a ventilating flue, and it should be covered with a piece of tin or a short board as ft protection from rain. The dirt covering shoGld be two or.three inches thick when the vegetables are stored, and it_ should be Increased as severely cold weather approaches until it is a foot or more In thickness. In finishing the ; pit the dirt should be firmed with the back of tlie shovel in order to make it as nearly waterproof as possible. Tiie shallow trench around the’ base of the pit should have, an outlet for carrying off the water. Supplement the flirt covering with manure, straw, corn fodder or. other protecting mate rial. Use several small pits instead of one large Onej as vegetables lceep bet ter in small pits and the entire con tents may be removed when the pit is opened: For centuries GOLD MEDAL Haarlem Oil has been a standard household remedy for kidney, liver, bladder and stomach trouble, ,and all diseases connected with the urinary organs.

Smith Grove has not had a case so for, and so . far as we can learn there is not a case in the Fork Church section Coolee- raee seems to be the hardest hit at this time, but conditions there are reported much better. But few cases have developed in Mocksville within the past week, and those who have been ill are rapidly improving. With the necessary precautions the disease should soon be a thing of the past. L. B. Forest, of R. I, received a message last Wednesday, stating that his brother. Samuel P. Forest, was dead in France.

He had been in France since last spring, and had been in the front line trenches two or three times. The bereaved ones have the sympa thy of all their friends. “W. S. S.” Dies’.At Cooleemee.

To The Farmers of Davie County.} We are very proud of the fact that through the cooperation of some of the farmers of Davie county we have been able to bring into the county a car load of grade Angus and Here ford calves, how much this means to the beef cattle industry cannot be calculated at ■ this time, B u tit is very evident that it is a step in the right direction, as Davie county can and should be one of the IeadiDg counties in the raising of all kinds of livestock, such as cattle, sheep and hogs, and at this time we are trying to encourage the farmers to buy more sheep. . It is now the purpose of the County Agent to try to get a car load of South western. sheep brought to the county in the next few weeks. These sheep- are high- grades of good quality that will pro duce nine or ten pounds of wool, and have been bred to full blooded Shropshire rams. It is a chance that the prospective sheep breeders should not miss. These will cost $16 per „ head plus freight from shipping point which will not be more than two dollars per head. Any one wanting only a few nead can get them by seeing me before the order is sent in which will be in about two weeks. . We had expected to have a corn and pig show at Mocksville' about the second Saturday' in November, but as the epidemic of influenza does not seem to improve, this will not be held this fall. Let me say here that the boys that bought pigs last spring have done well with tbeir pigs so far and we will hear something more from them next spring, when they will have pigs for sale. It is now the purpose of the County Agent to devotejhe most of his time in help ing those of the county that have and are stricken with influenza, and. any one seeing this should feel free to call on him that he may help them in any. way that he can. Respectfully, W. F. REEGE, County Agent.' Letter. From Oklahoma. i Davie Record.—My dear little home pa- ! per. I have been away all summer sick in a sanatorium at BaUle Creek, Michi I arrived home lately and found a state ment and got a bunch of back numbers and read and read until I was so home sick I had to quit reading and take a rest. Now, don’t stop the paper. It's too much like getting a letter from, an old friend. I wish all my old friends in Davie would write me a letter and tell me all they could about the progress, goings and com ings of old Davie county friends and ac quaintances, I would write them but have been away so long I don’t know how to find them as rural routes have changed the address of everything since I left Da vie. You old boy and girl friends and sweethearts that I used to spend so much of my young happy days with. I would iove to see you again and have some pleasant chats with you. It would be a great pleasure to me, and I am sure I could make it interesting for some of you. But I can’t come to see you. and if you will, write me a letter I will sure answer and give you some questions to answer in the next after I hear from you. I remem ber so many of the good old Davie people of thirty to fifty years ago, especially in the northern part of the county In and near Farmiegton. Pino, or it was then Piney Grove. And those good old camp- meetings at the old campground at Smith Grove those days will never be forgotten by anyone as long as he is a sane think er. God bless the old home people. We are all passing fast to the great beyond from whence none returneth. You will please find inclosed two dollars. I don't know bow else to get the paper now ex cept to pay for it when it can’t be sent any longer. Weil, it'looks as though our prayers are goidg to be answered with a great and glorious victory for world . free dom of democracy. Sincerely, FRANK M. FOSTER. 1310 S.

Accordingto late reports issued agninst attack- by building up the l'y State and Federal health authori- constitution: ties the Spanish Itiflyenza epidemic is rapidly spreading to all parts of the country, and it now seems that practically every state in the .Union will be seriously affected before it •runs its course. It has not only become a great and terrifyinir menace to the public hf-alth, but unless checked, it is apt: to seriously effect the progress of war work in all its "various depart ments. Already the Shipping Board has announced that ten per- cent of its workers had been affected. - The disease has mad* its greatest progress in the East where it' has claimed its victims by the thousands Reports from other sections, how ever, are equally alarming; and both .' civil and military.', authorities have warned the public to take every precaution to prevent its further spread.: . In many cities schools, churches ar.d theatres have been closed and public gatherings of air kinds forbidden. Medical authorities agree that people who are weak and rundowr are the easiest victims of the Influ enza epidemic. If you find yourself tired, weak and losing flesh, or if you are in a generally run-down con dition, or if you catch cold easilj lhi3 warning should be heeded promptly. You are really in great danger,-because the germ of this disease is very catching and you an apt to fall an easy victim if you com* in contact with the germs. Peopli who are well and strong are not likely to contract the disease be cause they are able to throw it off The common-sense way to keep fron taking it is to fortify th.; systen. In other words to use the old ad age. “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” And if vou are in a sub-normil condition the proper thine; to do is to begin .immediately to build up your pow ers nf resistance lTo i accomplish hi <. .nothing on earth wili strength en vr.u ar.d burld you up like Tanlac, he powerful reconstructive tonic, vhieh contains the very elements ieedt d by the system to give you •3'jhiinff strength and ward- off the influenza germ. ■ First Of aH Tanlac -begins its ac tion by creating a good healthy ap- oetite for wholesome, nourishing food, and assists everv organ of the aody to perform its.natural • func tions, thus helping to build up health and strength in the natural way.

SBEMK LflniTUOE ¥ « TO HOUSEWIVES AU Allied Nations Will be on Same Basis In the Use of Wheat Products. Ready Mixed Flour to be Manufactured—List of CereaD Substitutes Reduced to Corn Flour and Meal and Barley Flour. The new food conservation program Just announced by United States Food iAdminstrator Herbert Hoover Is as follows: The recent careful survey by the Food Administrators of the TJnited States, France, England and Italy of the food resources of the 220;060,000 people fighting against Germany shows Chat .to maintain enough sup plies and necessary reserve against disaster, there must be maintained in all- counties a conservation of wheat flour during the coming year. It has been agreed that the wheat bread of the Allies shall contain 20 per cent of other grains than, wheat, and it is only just that we should bear our share in this saving, and our ■bread should be at least universal with those who are suffering more greatly from the war than ourselves. Distribution- and transportation cir cumstances in the United States ren der it necessary to rely very largely on voluntary action in our homes to enforce this mixture. . The Victory bread so made is wholesome, and there is no. ditf.ciulty. in preparation. We. desre to emphasize the fact that the mixture outlined below are for ■wheat bread and the saving of wheat flour,' but they are not intended to displace' th« large use of corn bread. We must use the mixture with wheat flours in addition to our normal con sumption of corn bread. New Rules Promulgated^' . . For this purpose, regulations are formulated below, effective Sepember I, providing: (1)" For the preparation and market ing by the manufacturing and distrib uting trades of the country of a mixed flour complying with the international policy which will be available for pur chase by Uie household. (2) In regulations covering th-e case •where straight wheat flour is sold by retailers that at the same time 20 per cent of other cereal flours must be sold coincidentally. . (3). Repiring that all bakers’ bread shall contain 20 per cent of other cereals. The Food Administration, relies up on the householders of the country to mix at least 20 per cent of substitute cereals Into the wheat flour at home for all -uses. Com meal for use in corn bread , should be purchased sepa rately from combination sales. Ready-Mixed Flour For Sale as ,Vic tory Mixed Flour. It is desired to insure a supply of ready-mixed flours on the market and to have'millers and dealers of all kinds encourage the use and sale of this flour, so that the country may be on a mixed flour .basis without the necessity of retaftarsmaking combina tion sales of flour and substitutes.' All such mixed flours made according to the following should be labeled “Vic tory Mixed Flour” and are to be label ed with the ingredients in order of their proportion. The flours so. mix- ifed must be milled in accordance with the standards' of the-' United States Food Administration.- No mixed flours (except.pancake flours) shall be made or manufactured except in the exact proportions as outlined' below: • - Mixed wheat atrd barley flour shall be-in the proportion of four pounds •wheat flo'ur'to one pound barley flour. ■Mixed wheat and com flour shall contain the proportion of four -pounds wheat flour to one pound corn flour. Mixed wheat, barley and com flour shall contain the proportions of eight pounds wheat flour to one pound bar ley and curi pound corn flour.. Mixed wheat and rye flour‘shall:con- tain the -proportion of three pounds 'Wlfeat flour .and .not less ‘thin two pounds rye flour. : - I . Whole- wheat, entire wheat or gra ham flour or meal shall contain at least 95 per cent of tbe wheat berry. All the above Victory mixed' flours may be sold without substitutes, but at no greater price from the'mllle*, wholesaler or retail dealer, than in the case of standard wheat flour. Retail Sale of Standard Wheat Fiber. The new regulations, supersede the .60-50 rule. The retail; dealer selling StMdard wheat flour is required to •awy in stock either barley flour,, corn- meal or com flour,.and with every sale of wheat flour must sell a combi nation-of some, one or more of these In tbe proportion of one pound sub stitute to -each four pounds of. wheat flour. No dealer may force any other substitutes in combination upon tbe consumer, and these substitutes must Conform to the standard fixed; by the XTnited States Food Administration. There are somejocalities -where oth-. •r substitutes are available and which' retailers may? wish to carry in order to meet this-.situation. The following flour- may- also. be sold In . such combi nation In lieu of the above flours If the consumer so demands at the ratio fit one pound to each four : pounds wheat-flour;-^affir “our, milor flour, feterita sflour and f meals, ^ieeV'floar, .••t^vllour, peanut flour, bean flour, ViPtatO flour, sweet ^potato flour,- and kuckwheatflour.

Revisions of Prevous Rules. The' previous rules limiting licenses, millers, wholesalers, and retailers and bakers to thirty days, supply of flour will be changed to permit a sixty days supply. The rules limiting sales by retail ers of wheat flour to. one-eighth of a barrel In cities and a quarter barrel in sparsely settled districts are recinded. The rule limiting the sale of flour by millers to wholesalers, or -wholesalers to retailers, In combination wth sub stitutes or certificates therefor, and, the rules restricting the sale to 70 per cent of previous sales are rescinded. Manufacturers of alimentary pastes and wheat breakfast foods are limit ed to their normal consumption ‘of wheat or -wheat flour with the under- standng that they are not to unduly expend their ordinary consumption of wheat. Rules prohibiting - the starting of new .-plants 'ready for operation prior to July I, 1918, are rescinded. Where millers sell drectly to con sumers they shall obey same regular- tions as retail dealers. PROFITEERS HAVE NO PLACE IN BUSINESS State Food Administrator Henry A* Page Issues Ultimatum—Some Con cerns Have Been Blacklisted Al ready. The attention of the Food Adminis tration has been called to extensive -profiteering In mill feeds and some, other products by some North Caro lina merchants. The complaints have •been so wide-spread that State Food Administrator Page has instructed County Food Admnistrators and the eight inspectors in the field-not'only to investigate and report any viola tions of. the margins allowed but where North Carolina dealers were apparently getting only a fair margin and yet were selling at a too-high level of price, to report the names of the mills or dealers from whom the mill feeds were originally purchased. Mill feeds Bhould be reaching the con sumers of North Carolina*at not more than $40 to $45 per ton, even where freight is added and the State Food Administrator is .determined that prof iteering.-in-this product must cease. North Carolina dealers have been sufficiently warned, by the Food Ad ministration and incidents of profit eering hereafter will be drastically dealt -with. Already Mr. Page has had blacklist orders, issued aganst a num ber of North ' Carolna merchants. Among these are J. L. Thompson Com pany, one of the largest concerns at Bunn, who had charged margins of'40 per cent to as high as 75 per cent'on meat, lard compound, flour Snd mo lasses; --and the United Cash Store Company at Marshville which had dis regarded Food Administration rules and regulations In a number of in stances. The McLaughlin Company at Raeford was alio wed. to contribute. $1,200 to the Red Cross and charities in lieu of having a blacklist order is sued' against them.

You get that remedy by asktagr forP iS O ’S The German empire was the last of the great autocracies whose fall marks the real significance of the war. In Russia, Austria-Hungary and finally in Germany, irresponsible power gave way -before the irresistible forces un til Field Marshal von Hindenburg’s prophetic words, early in the war, came true. The side with the strong est nerves, said he, would win. It was the crumbling of the home . front which made it impossible, for Ger many, notwithstanding her great arm ies in the field, to carry on any longer. The collapse bf Germany brings the eclipse of the German idea of the state, as opposed to the doctrine of individual rights. Under this regime, there was developed a nation of which militarism was the embodiment, which murdered and plundered; heedless of the rights of the individual, and made terrorism a matter of studied policy. This terrorism was directed not against individuals but against na tions, not only hostile nations but those wtih whom Germany was officially at peace. Its system of espionage, corruption and violence extended throughout the world. It was exemplified by - the plots carried out in this conuntry un der direction of the government for the destruction of munition plants and ships before the United States enter ed the war and by the effort of the German government to embroil -this country, then neutral, in war with Ja pan and Mexico. Nb r capital of Eu rope was free from- German secret agents in the years preceding the war and the nations lived in growing dread’ of the huge military machine which Germany was building up, to the ac companiment of the emperor’s boast ings of the “shining sword” and Ger man toasts to “Der Tag” in , voices which echoed around the world. - -G reatest of W orld Conflicts. The virtual ending of this greatest of conflicts has come with dramatic swiftness. Four months ago the Ger man military power apparently was at its height. The unchecked forces ot the enemy had battered their way through the French and British lines until Paris was in danger. Late in Jttiy the. world was thrilled with the news of .an. allied counter-attack be tween the Aisne and the Marne. The Germans were hurled back and since that day the victorious progress of the allies has been maintained. Various causes have contributed to this reversal. The entrance of Amer ica into the struggle, with her ,vast re sources of men and materials, is conceded by the allies tp have turned the scale. One of the most important effects of this country’s act was the heartening to an enormous extent of the wearied allied nations and a cor responding deterioration of German morale. Exhaustion of German raw. material and years of semi-starvation assisted in the process of -beating down the enemy into a submissive frame of mind.' It Is also 'significant that.. the establishment of allied'' su premacy in the field almost-synchron ised with unification of military con trol and the appointment of Foch to the post of supreme command. Mili tary commentators without exception lay stress upon the importance -of leadership and the geniuB of Poch in stemming and finally turning the tide. Among the individual leaders, iaside from Poch, . whose names stand, out most prominently, are Marshal Joffre, who saved France in her darkest.days of the summer of 1914; Field Marshal Haig, the British' commander;. Gen eral Petain, at the head of the French forces; General Diaz,-who on the Ital ian front beat back ' last summer’s great Austrian offensive and later tore the Austrian armies to pieces in a few weeks, and General Pershing. KINGS OF BAVARIA AND. SAXONY HAVE.ALSO QUIT It is believed that King Ludwig of Bavaria and King Frederick August of Saxony have also resigned. The emperor was deeply moved. He consented to sign the document only when he received the news of the latest events in' the empire. . - ; Serious food difficulties -are ex pected in Germany owing , to the stoppage of trains. The council of the regency w ill-take the most drastic steps to re-establish order. ABDICATION OF KAISEB FOLLOWED BY REVOLU TION, WHICH HAS OVERTURNED AUTOCRACY IN GERMANY, PROBABLY HAS BEARING ON SPEEDY ACTION BY GERMAN GRAND HEADQUARTERS— GERMANY HAS AGREED TO THE ARMISTICE TERMS OF THE ALLIES. Abdication of the kaiser, the spread, of the revolution, and the formation of the soldiers’ and workmen’s party, with the avowed intention of forming a republic in Germany,, probably influenced the acceptance of terms so soon after the courier reached German grand headquarters wtih the armistice terms. The terms of. the armistice have never been made public, but their acceptance by Germany, from all statements made re garding terms, mean the end of the war. By agreeing to the allied terms, it is intimated, Germany must place herself in a position where she cannot renew hostilities without laying her self open to immediate invasion by the allied armies. The Gennan people, for a generation the obedient and sub missive servants of their war lord, for more than four years his pliant instruments in ravaging the world, have spoken a new times conflicting and Often delayed advices from Geimany in the last two days, it has now become apparent that "William, emperor and king, has been stripped of his Iiower. He is now plain William Hohenzollem, a fugitive in Holland. Witli his fall topples into ruin William’s mad design to rale the world. Lttle is known of the situation in Germany, for that coun try is in the first days of its new -adventure. It is not clear whether the old regime, has been permanently dislodged or whether the new authorities, with the unscrupulous adroitness which has long marked German politics, are merely sacrificing the chief figureheads of kaiserisin in the hope of obtaining an easier peace. It appears probable that no one in Germany knows, and that it-is still to be determined which of the con tending elements will gain the upperhand^ \ Revolution is spreading rapidly, and from the fact that a socialist is now chancellor, it may be gathered that the object of the revolution is not merely the quick ending of the war, but the complete severance of the political ties which still bind the nation wits its past. For the allies the problem has, changed. The countries which fought Germany and her vassals for more than four years have emerged from it completely triumphant, but within the bor ders of the countries which menaced the peace of the whole world, stalks revolt, famine and anarchy. The world’s next task may be to restore order in the desolated central empires. It may be the lot of the former who have successfully contested Germany's greed for power to save her from the fate she im- posd on Russia. Likewise, help will have to be given to Aus tria-Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey, whose rain Gennany wrought. Hindenburg and Ludendorff. On the German side are Von Hin- denburg, a comparatively obscure of ficer who leaped into world-wide fame by the defeat of the Russians in 1914 and subsequently became the idol of Germany, and General Ludendorff, :who, although frequently credited with being the abler of the two, never touched popular imagination as did his colleague. It ,was in June, 1914, that the world was stifredJijy ’ the murder in Sarsi jevo, Bosnia, of .Aj-^duke Francis Ferdinand, the Austrian iieir-apparent, and his wife. Austria, backed by Germany, accused Serbia of instigat ing the crime and made demands which Serbia accepted in part. Aus tria would not agree to arbitrate the demands not accepted by Serbia and the foreign offices in London, Faria and Petrograd failed -to swerve Aus tria from her course. Austria-Hungary began hostUlties on July 27, 1914, by attacking Serbia and .within a week Germany has Joinr ed her, while France,' Great, Britain and. Russia had thrown their forces againsfrGermany and Austria.' As the ■war went on, the number of nations involved increased until the conflict j became the greatest in the history of I the world. EBERT PROMISES PEACE AND GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE PROMISES PEACE AND PEOPLE’S GOVERNMENT Washington.—Friederich Ebert, upon assuming office as chancellor, to- sued a proclamation announcing that the new government at Berlin had tak en charge of business to prevent civil war and famine, in a manifesto ad dressed to the “citizens” of Germany the chancellor said he was going to form a people’s government to bring about peace "as quickly as possible1 and to confirm the liberty which the government has gained.

CREW S OF DREADNAUGHTS JOIN THE REVOLUTION Washington.—Friederich Ebert, up on assuming Office t as chancellor, issued a proclamation announcing that the new government at Berlin had taken charge of business to prevent civil yvar .and'famine. In a manifes to addressed to the “citizens” of Germany—the chancellor said he was go ing to form a people’s government to bring about peace “as ,quickly as possible” and to confirm the liberty which the government has gained. Copenhagen.—The crews of the German dreadnaiights Posen, Ostfreie- stand, Nassau and Oldenburg, in Kiel harbor, have Joined the revolution. The marines occupied the lock gates at Ostmoor and fought down a coast artillery division which offered resist ance.

REVOLT SPREADS FAST WITH LITTLE VIOLENCE London.—According to the djis- patches from Amsterdam to Copenha-. gen, the revolution in Germany is ex-: tending rapidly but in most places the j desired effect is being achieved with-1 out violence or serious disorders. In some places, notably in Anhalt, ■ Hesse-Darmstadt and Mecklenburg- Schwerin, the princely houses are co operating with the reforming parties in establishing a new order of things.: Up to the present the most serious j confiiot has taken place in Kiel. The j soldiers’ and workmen’s councils in ; most of the large cities appear to be devoting their first efforts to organiz ing the food supplies, foreseeing that any lack of provisions in this respect will prove a fruitful source of disor-. der. Complaints already have been , heard in Berlin that the • press cen sorship is being exercised as arbi trarily by the new as by the old re gime. REVOLT W ILL NOT INVALIDATE SIGNATURE Washington,,—Unless a ‘revolution ary government in Germany definitely repudiates the authority ot the Ger man armistice commissioners now -within the allied lines, the belief here is that the revolt spreading through the enemy country will not prevent Marshal Foch from-accepting the sig natures of the envoys and proceeding to put thearmistice conditions into effect According to official informa tion, Uie armistice delegation came with full powers and is authorized to sign terms, although it elected to send a courier back to grand headquarters before acting. Moreover, the object of the revolution is assumed to oe peace and -since signing of the armistice is the shortest road to immediate peace it is thought the revolutiona ries will not seek to interfere. If There shonld be repudiation of the envoys, or if what is happening in Berlin should delay an answer beyond tbe tmie allowed by Marshal Foch, the American and allied armies would continue their advance and hostili ties probably, would end only through the surrender of individual military units on the field. FORMATION OF POLISH REPUBLIC IS ANNOUNCED Amsterdam.—A message from Cracow announces the formation- of a Polish republic under the presidency of Deputy Daszynski. GENERAL VON HINDENBURG REPORTED TO BE WITH KAISER With the French Army in France.— Disorder is beginning to show in the ranks of the retreating German army. French troops, with their cavalry in the lead, are pressing the enemy closely all along the line. The ho,Wy increases in importance as the pursuit goes on. Several rail road trains, batteries of artillery in tact, immense munition' dumps and stores and wagon trains fell into -ihe hands of the allied troops. London.—The former German em peror’s party, which is believed to in clude Field Marshal von Hindenburg arrived at Eisden on the Dutch fron tier.

Ioqiortant to all Womtin Readers of this Paper Thonsandb upon thousands of wemen have kidney or bladder trouble and sever suspect it. Womens’ complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or Ae result of kidney or bladder disease. If the kidneys are not in a healthy condition, they may cause the other organs to become diseased. You may suffer pain in the back, headache and loss of ambition. Poor health makes you nervous, irritable and maybe despondent; it makes anyone so. But hundreds of women claim that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,. by restoring - health to the kidneys, proved to be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions. A gjod kidney medicine, possessing real healing and curative value, should be a blessing to thousands of nervous, over-worked women. Many send for a sample bottle to seer what Swamp-Root, the great kidney1 liver and bladder medicine will do fer them. Every reader of this paper, who has not already tried it, by enclosing tea cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, may receive’sample size bottle by Pared Post. You can purchase the medium and large size bottles at all arng stores. Adv. Twelve Sons in Service. Twelve sons In active service Is Iho record of R. H. Wlndslow, a negro preacher of Rayville, La.

MEN IN REG ISTRA TIO N SERV ICE W ORK CALMLY UNDER FIR E ON T H E B A TTLEFIELD . COL. PIERCE IS THEIR CHIEF Aviators Driven by - Storm Land In Florida Everglades and Are Rescued by Seminole Indians—Government Gets Many New Hospitals. (From Committee on Fublic Information.)Washington. — Anuouncement from France that all American dead are to .be returned to this country for per manent burial adds interest to the story of how the graves of these heroes are marked and recorded, This work Is done by the grave registration serv ice, which is co-operating wish the ItctI Cross iii photographing graves and, when practicable, in distributing these photographs to. the families and rela tives of the dead. Tlie graves registration service is a unit of the quartermaster corps. Each unit of this service is composed of one captain, one lieutenant and 50 enlisted men. There are now 14 of these units with the American expeditionary forces in France, under command of Lieut. Col. Charles C. Pierce. Colonel Pierce is a retired chaplain, a major of the regular army, and was pastor of an Episcopal church in Philadelphia when the present war began. As he had been in charge of similar work in the Philippines, he volunteered for this important task upon the organiza tion of the graves registration service. He has been awarded a promotion for his zealous performance of the duties falling to him. In a letter which Lieutenant Colonel Pierce has written to Maj. H. R. Lem- ly, chief of the eemeterial branch, quartermaster corps, and which is quoted in part here, is to be had a glimpse of a work that blends mercy and heroism. “All that the censors will pass in the way of news concerning this furi ous drive in the vast triangular arena between Soissons, Chateau-Thierry and Reims has already been given you in the papers,” writes Colonel Pierce. “But the work that has befallen my department is one of the unpublished chapters of history. Suffice it to say that my men have displayed a splendid sort of heroism—worthy of the red dest blood stock in the world—and that I have had occasion to recommend a number of them for promotion, and some of them for the bestowal of the Distinguished Service cross. . “Can you fancy a lot of men going calmly about- their duty under burst ing shells and bombs that excavate a cellar every time they strike the ground—going about to minister to the dead, laying out cemeteries and put ting up crosses over the graves of their valorous and fallen comrades as fast as the grenades of hate tear them down? Then you will know the place of these brave lads of mine, who worry when they see me, lest I may have it In mind to move them to a safer place. “And the men who are going over the top! Ah1 you will need rapid transit to keep up with them! For they have the crusaders’ spirit and they fill the gaps of the fallen and move on 'with a rush that the Hun cannot under stand. . . . They will win and they liave no other thought. Often I have the privilege of preaching to them as a layman; and I give you my word that I never looked into such faces be fore. Perhaps I have seen as comely features, but there is a fire in-all these eyes and the light of a sublime conse cration such as the world has never seen save in the faces of martyrs who deemed it an honor to die for a cause.” Ihe department of agriculture has inaugurated a campaign to increase the use of dehydrated fruits and vege tables, which compare favorably for ordinary consumption with the fresh article. As indicating the need and value of this campaign, the food ad ministration calls attention to the fact that about 8,000,000 pounds of Irish po tatoes were “thrown to the dump” in Kew York city alone last January, af ter having been frosted and then per mitted to rot in transit. The wav department has already rec ognized the importance of dehydrated produce. The army has purchased and used 141000,000 pounds of dehydrated foodstuffs, costing about §3,000,000, and In the last few weeks has placed orders with Canadian and American der hydrating plants for more than 40,000,- 000 pounds to be manufactured and de livered between now and July I, 1919. TIiese orders represent about $.10,000,- 000, and include principally potatoes, carrots, onions and a small supply of soup mixtures. There are eight differ ent vegetables in the soup mixtures. On a single day recently the board of review in the office of the quarter master general approved orders and contracts aggregating $20,621,T7G. Among the items purchased were crow bars. axes, trench mirrors, cloth, mo tortrucks, motorcycles, ginger, bacon,’■ ham, cheese, nails, salmon, flour, shov els, butter, horseshoes, typewriters, paint, hay, oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar, beans, catchup, evaporated milk, flannel shirts, tomatoes, screw drivers, wooden wheels, tires, tents, . razors, baking powder, pencils and meat saws. Driven by a storm from a height of 8,000 feet Into the Everglades of Flor ida, Lieutenant Smith, an aviator sta tioned at Carlstrom field, Miami, was forced to add to his startling experi ences the prospect of starvation In a trackless swamp, Infested with snakes and alligators. He and his passenger, Sergeant O’Connor, were rescued by Seminole Indians, after having wan dered through the Everglades for two days without food or water. The airplane in which Lieutenant Smith and Sergeant O’Connor were at tempting to fly over the Everglades was submerged in the mud and water and somewhat damaged, but later was put In order and sailed forth once more, to the great wonder of the Semi- notes. Lieutenant Smith had undertaken the work of photographing a shorter line of flight over the Everglades to Fort Meyers; and was on his mission at the time of his adventure. He had reached an altitude of 7,000 feet above the great swamp when he observed a storm approaching from the south and changed his course to the southwest In an effort to'avoid it. Finding this im-‘ possible, he veered to the west and at tempted to climb above it. At 8,000 feet, however, he encountered a terrific wind from the north which tossed the plane and twice turned it almost com pletely on its back. Tlie motor cut out twice and Lieu tenant Smith had to put the plane In a nose dive to clear Itself. Suddenly the machine broke through the clouds and the swamps appeared just below. The motor was still giving trouble and the pilot was compelled to land. He continued his flight along the shallow and open places fringing the swamp,' but the gas gave out and he came down 48 miles west of Miami. In the land ing Sergeant O’Connor’s lips were cut and he was bruised about the hody and legs. Lieutenant Smith was only slightly bruised. . States, municipalities and private concerns have given to the government free use of hospitals and other insti tutions that will accommodate more than 10,000 sick and wounded soldiers, and the war department has leased other public and private buildings that will add facilities for the care of 9,000 more. To fit some of these buildings for use as hospitals alterations costing about $995,000 will have to be made. These alterations will be undertaken at once, so that most of the buildings will be ready for occupancy by Janu- nry I, 1919. The St.- Louis sanitarium, one of the finest buildings of Its kind in the coun try, is among the institutions which have been made available to the gov ernment without charge. Only minor alterations will be necessary to pro vide accommodations for 3,000 soldier- patients. Other institutions which have been offered free of rental to the govern ment for the purpose are the Ohio Hospital far the Criminal Insane at Lima; the State School for the Deaf, Columbus; the State hospital at Nor folk, Mass.; a model factory at Cleve land and a completely appointed hos pital built by Henry Ford In Detroit. Vaccination against pneumonia is available for every officer, enlisted man and employee of the army in the United States, and it is believed by medical officers that If they avail them selves of this protective remedy the prevalence and ,deadliness of this dis ease will be far less this winter than last year. One of the most severe tests of the vaccine was its administration to 12,- 000 volunteers at one of the army camps. During the following ten weeks until these troops went overseas not a single case of pneumonia developed among them. In the last two years pneumonia has caused more deaths than any other disease. The vaccine is for administration to healthy persons to prevent the de velopment of certain types of pneu monia. It is not intended.for treat ment after the disease has been con tracted. It is in no sense a cure for pneumonia. Five millions of rations for Ameri can fighters in France are now being packed and ready for shipment. They are to be placed in air-tight contain ers and then crated in heavy wood boxes. In each container there is suf ficient food for 24 men for one day. The packing of this ration is de signed to protect the soldier from hard ships in the trenches or at sea. The selection of canned meats illustrates the care with which the food products of this ration are packed. The tinned meat packing methods of the United States have been studied by experts so that only the best products of the packers will be chosen. - In addition to meats, the ration will include cigarettes sufficient for a day’s smoke for 24 men; salmon, soluble cof fee, salt, pepper and hard bread. Prac tically all of these are packed sepa rately in air-tight containers to resist gas attack. To provide speedy and efficient relief for American soldiers and sailors who may be in distress through the tor pedoing or wrecking of ships, the American Red Cross lias organized a bureau of emergency sendee in Eng land to co-operate with the army and the navy and with American consuls. It was disclosed by the recent cam paign in behalf of the fourth Liberty Ioau that 40,496 persons are employed in the various branches of the war department in Washington. Of this' number 6,705 are in the oflice of the chief of staff. - > NO ERRO R FO U N D IN CA SE O F W O O DlALL VS. W E ST E R N W A K E H IG H W A Y COM M ISSION.

Addition to Hall of History. The Hall of History has two inter esting additions to its portrait gal lery, -both oil portraits by William Carl Browne, the best painter North Carolina has ever claimed. One is of Bryan Grimes, Esquire, father of Major General Bryan Grimes and grandfather of the Secretary of State; the other of Captain John F. S. Van de Bokkelen, of the Confederate States army of Wilmington. Very fine -photographs have been in stalled of Major General Geo. W. Mc- Iver, of this state, who recently- re ceived, his promotion in France; of Brigadier General Samuel L. Faison, also of this state, who commands the brigade in which are the old Second and Third regiments of the North Car olina National Guard and a machine gun battalion formerly a part of the old First regiment. Amendments Ratified. ' Raleigh. — Democratic state head quarters closed here, Chairman Thom as EvWarren going to his home satis fied that the state has rolled up most probably a 50,000 majority for demo cracy, far outstripping his pre-elec tion expectation of around 30,000, and that the state is sending a solid dem ocratic congressional delegation back to Washington to -hold up the hands of Prerident Wilson. Along with the sweeping demoratic victory in the state is the evidence most gratifying to State Superintend ent of Public Instruction J. Y. Joyner and Governor Bickett that the six months school amendment and the note and mortgage exemption amend ment to the constitution are both rat ified at the polls. This means that every rural school district must have at least six months school term and that those buying a farm home of not over $5,000 value may have notes and mortgages due to the farm exempted from taxation to the amount of $3,000, this to >be deducted from -the tax valu ation of the property.

Local. Boards at W ork. Every North Carolina local board must call and examine ninety per cent of its class I men, from nineteen to thirty-six year old during the week, according to the instructions .of the Adjutant General being sent out by Captain T. B. McCargo, draft execu tive. "Every selective service official,” says Captain McCargo, “is rendering service that is essentially military in character. For this reason, we should respond with military precision when ever an order is given. A part of this war is being fought by the soldiers in France, but just as important part is being fought by the local boards. The ‘boys in France don’t stop because of epidemics or other difficulties, and lo cal boards cant* afford to. McComb Is Reassigned. Col. A. C. Macomb, commanding officer at Camp Greene, has received an order from Adjutant General Har ris placing him on the active list and formally reassigning him to the com mand of this camp. Since he was re tired October 17, Colonel Macomb has continued as camp commander pend ing the receipt of orders reassigning him or sending him to his home. The order putting at rest all appre hension that another army officer would be sent to replace Colonel Macomb came almost simultaneously with information that 10,000 men would arrive at Camp Greene within a short time. Engineer units of a to tal strength of about 5,000 men will be organized here. VILE TASTE BLISTERED MOUTH Oklahoma Lady Had Dreadful Time Before Finding the Right Remedy—Black- Draught. Seward, Okla.—Mrs. Annie Bowlby, of this place, says In a letter written for publication: “I have used Black- Draught for two years, or more, .and will never cease to be grateful for what it did for me and mine. -Some time ago, my mouth broke out with blisters. I had a vile taste In my mouth, all slick and disagreeable. I seemed to have a great deal of Inward fever. I suffered with my back and kidneys. . . . I was so nervous, it was dreadful. I would almost cry—I suffered so. I had gas on the stomach and pains but, as I said, the pain and . . . trouble was most severe. I had the doctor and used several medicines without result. Still hurting and suffering, I began to use Thedford’s Blaek-Draught, making it into a tea,, and using a teaspoonful dose at a time In hot water. I gradually got better, my liver began to act, the fever went down and I have never had any more trouble of this kind. There is no other medicine so good as Black-Draught.” I You will say that, too, when you I have given Thedford’s Black-Draught : a trial. It is a good medicine. Buy a package today. All druggists sell Black-Draught. Fam ily Affair.

The influenza runs a very brief course ,•lien the patient is careful, and if we keep the svstem in good condition and throw off the poisons which tend to accumulate Tfithin our bodies, we can escape the dis ease. Remember these three 0’s—a clean month, a clean skin, and clean bowels. To carry off poisons from the system and teen the bowels loose, daily doses of a pleasant laxative should be taken. Such e one is made of May-apple, leaves of aloe, root of jalap, and called Dr. Pieree’B Pleas ant Pellets. Hot lemonade should be used freely if attacked by a cold, and the pa- tient should be put to bed after a hot mustard foot-bath. To prevent the attack of bronchitis or pneumonia and to control the pain, Anuric tablets should be obtained at the drug store, and one given every two hours, Tiitb lemonade. The Anuric tablets were first discovered by Dr. Pierce, and, as they flush the bladder and cleanse the kidneys, they cany away much of the poisons and the uric acid. It is important that broths, milk, but termilk, icecream and simple diet be given regularly to strengthen the system and in crease the vital resistance. The fever is diminished by the use of the Anuric tablets, but in addition, the forehead, arms and hands may be bathed with water (tepid) in which a tablespoonful of sal* aiatus has been dissolved in a quart. After an r.itac-k of grip or pneumonia to build up and strengthen the system, obtain at the drug store a good iron tonic, called "Irontic” Tablets, or that well known herbal tonic, Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. “OVER T H E T O P ” By An American A rthur Guy Empey Soldier Who Went Machine Gunnerr Serving in France Copyright 1917, by Arthur Quy Smpey Why He Didn’t Hit Him.

The Germans displayed signboards over the top of their trench showing the names that we had called their trenches. The signs read "Fair,” “Fact," "Fate,” and “Fancy,” and so on, according to the code names on our map. Then to rub It In, they hoisted some more signs which read, “Come on, we are ready, stupid English.” It is still a mystery to me how they obtained this knowledge. There had been no raids or prisoners taken, so It must have been the work of spies in our own lines. Three or four days before the big push we tried to shatter Fritz’s nerves by feint attacks, and partially suc ceeded as the official reports of July I show. Altliough we were constantly bom barding their lines day and night, still we fooled the Germans several times. This was accomplished by throwing an intense barrage into his lines— then using smoke shells we would put a curtain of white smoke across No Alan’s Land, completely obstructing his view of our trenches, and would raise our curtain of fire as if in an ■ actual attack. All down our trenches the men would shout and cheer,’ and Fritz would turn loose with machine-gun, rifle, and shrapnel fire, thinking we were com ing over. After three or four of these dummy attacks his nerves must have been n*ar the breaking point. On June 24, 1916, at 9:40 in the morning our guns opened up, and hell was let loose. The din was terrific, a constant boom-boom-boom In your ear. At night the sky was a red glare. Our bombardment had lasted about two hours when Fritz started reply ing. Although we were sending over ten shells to his one, our casualties were heavy. There was a constant stream of stretchers coming out of the communication trenches and burial parties were a common sight. In the dngouts the noise of the guns almost hurt You had the same sensa tion as when riding on the subway you enter the tube under the river going Io Brooklyn—a sort of pressure on the ear drums, and the ground constantly trembling.The roads behind the trenches were very dangerous because Boclie shrap- nei was constantly bursting over them. We avoided these dangerous spots by crossing through open fields. ,The destruction in the German lines was awful and I really felt sorry for them because I realized how they must be clicking it.ETom our front-line trench, every now and again, we could hear sharp whistle blasts In the German trenches. These blasts were the signals for stretcher bearers, and meant the wounding or killing of some German In the service of his fatherland. Atwell and I had a tough time of It, patrolling the different trenches at night, but after awhile got used to IL My old outfit, the machine gun com- pany, was. stationed in huge elephant dugouts about four hundred yards be hind the front-line trench—they were in reserve. Occasionally I would slop In their dugout and have a confab with my former mates. Although we tried to be jolly, still, there was a lurking feeling of Impending disaster. Each man was wondering, if, after the slogan, "Over the top with the best of luck,” had been sounded, would he still be alive or would he be lying “somewhere in France.” In an old dilapidated house, the walls of which were scarred with machine-gun bullets, No. 3 sec tion of the machine gun company had its quarters. The company’s cooks prepared the meals in this billet. On the fifth evening of the bombardment a German eight-inch shell registered a direct hit on the billet and wiped out ten meii who were asleep In the supposedly bomb-proof cellar. They were buried the next day and I attended the funeral. CHAPTER XXVI. AU Quiet (?) on the Western FrontAt brigade headquarters I happened to overhear a conversation between our G. 0. C. (general officer commanding) and the divisional commander. From this conversation I learned that we were to bombard the German lines for eight days, and on the first of July the “big push” was to commence. In a few days orders were issued to that effect, and It was common prop erty all along the line. RHYTHM OF NEGRO MELODIES Writer Points Out How It Differs From That of the White Man's Folk Music. Some interesting characteristics of negro music are discussed In a book on "Negro Folk Songs” by Natalie Cur- j tls Burlin, observes the Boston Herald. "Though the negro, transplanted to otlier lands, absorbed much musically from the surrounding civilization,” she writes, “the characteristics which On the afternoon of the eighth day of our "strafelng,” Atwell and L were, sit ting In the front-line trench smoking fags and making out our reports of the previous night’s tour of the trenches, which we had to turn In to headquar ters the following day, when on order was passed down the trench that Old Pepper requested twenty volunteers to go over on a trench raid that night to try and get a few German prisoners for information purposes. I Immediately volunteered for this job, and shook hands with Atwell, and went to the rear to give my name to the officers in charge of the raiding party. I was accepted, worse luck. At 9:45 that night we reported to the brigade headquarters dugout to receive instructions from Old Pepper. After reaching this dugout we lined up In a semicircle around-him, and he addressed us as follows: "AU I want you boys to do is to go over to the German lines tonight, sur prise them, secure a couple of prison ers, and return immediately. Our ar tillery has bombarded- that section of the line for two days and personally I believe that that part of the German trench is unoccupied, so just get a cou ple of prisoners and return as quickly as possible." The sergeant on my right, .in an un dertone, whispered to me: “Say, Yank, how are we going to get a couple of prisoners if the old fool k- Receiving First Aid. thinks 'personally that that part of the trench is unoccupied,’—sounds kind of fishy, doesn’t it mate?” -I had a funny sinking sensntlon In my stomach, and my tin hat felt as If It weighed about a ton and my enthusi asm was melting away. Old Pepper must have heard the sergeant speak because he turned In his direction and In a thundering voice asked: “What did you say?”The sergeant with a scarlet look on his face and his knees trembling, smartly saluted and answered: “Nothing, sir.” Old Pepper said: “Well, don’t say it so loudly the next time.”Then Old Pepper continued: “In this section of the German trenches there are two or three ma chine guns which our artillery, in the last two or three days, has been un able to tape. These guns command the sector where two of our communica tion trenches join the front line, and as the brigade is to go over the top tomorrow morning I want to capture two or three men from these guns’ crews, and from them I may be able to obtain valuable information as to the exact location of the guns, and our artillery will therefore be able to demolish them before the attack, and thus prevent our losing a lot of men while using these communication trenches to bring ujp re-enforcements.” These were the instructions he gave us: I “Take off your Identification disks, strip your uniforms of ail numerals, insignia, etc., leave your papers with your captains, because I don’t want the Boches to know what regiments are I against them as this would be valuable ! Information to them in our attack to- . morrow and I don’t want any of you I to be taken alive. What I want is two prisoners and if I get them I have a way which will - make them divulge all necessary information as to their guns. You have, your choice of two weapons—you may carry your ‘per suaders’ or your knuckle knives, and each man will arm himself with four Mills bombs, these to be used only In case of emergency.” A persuader Is Tommy’s nickname for a club carried by the bombers. . It is about two feet long, thin at one end and very thick at the other. The thick end is studded with sharp steel spikes, while through the center of the club there is a nine-inch lead bar, to give it weight and balance. When you get a prisoner all you have to do is just stick this club up In front of him, and believe me, the prisoner’s patriotism for "Deutschland ueber Alles” fades away and he very willingly obeys the orders of his captor. If, however, the prisoner gets high-toned and refuses to follow you, simply “persuade” him by first removing his tin hat, and then— well, <he use of the lead weight In the persuader is demonstrated, and Tom my looks for another prisoner. The knuckle knife Is. a dagger affair, the blade of which is about eight inehes long with a heavy steel guard over the grip. This guard is studded with steel projections. At night in a trench, which is only about three to four feet wide, it makes a very handy weapon. One punch in the face gen erally shatters a man’s jaw and you can get him with the knife as he goes down. Then we had what we called our “come-alongs.” These, are strands of barbed wire about three feet long, made into a noose at one'end; at the other end. the barbs are cut off and Tommy slips his wrist through a loop to get a good grip on the wire. If the prisoner wants to argue the point, why I just place Uie large loop around his ’ neck and no matter, if Tommy wishes to return to his trenches at the walk, trot, or gallop, Fritz is perfectly agree able to maintain Tommy’s rate of speed. We were ordered to black our faces and hands. For this reason; At night, the English and Germans use what they call star shells, a sort of rocket affair. They are fired from a large pistol about twenty inches long, which is held over the sandbag parapet of the trench, and discharged into the air. These star shells attain a height of about sixty feet, and a range of from fifty to seventy-five yards. When they hit the ground they explode, throwing , out a strong calcium light which lights ; up the ground in a circle of a radius of . between ten to fifteen yards. They : also have a parachute star shell which, after reaching a height of about sixty ■ feet, explodes. A parachute unfolds and slowly floats to the ground, light ing up a large circle In No .Man’s Land. The official name of Uie star shell is a “Very-Ught.” Very-Hghts are used to prevent night surprise attacks on the trenches. -If a star shell faUs In front of you, or between you and the German lines, you are safe from detec tion, as the enemy cannot see you through the bright curtain of IlghL But if it falls behind you and, as Tom my says, “you get in the star shell zone,” then the fun begins; you have to lie flat on your stomach and remain absolutely motionless until the light of the shell dies ouL This takes any where from forty to seventy seconds. If you haven't time to fall to the ground you must remain absolutely SHIl in whatever position you were In when the Ught exploded; it is advis able not to breathe,' as Fritz has an eye like an eagle when be thinks you are knocking at bis door... When a star shell is burning In Tommy’s rear he can hold his breath for a week. You blacken your face and bands so that the light from' the star shells will not reflect on your pale face. In a trench raid there is quite sufficient reason for your face to be pale. If you don’t believe me. try it just once. Then another reason for blackening your face and hands is that, after you have entered the German trench at night, "white face” means Germans, “black face” English. Coming around a traverse you see a white face in front of you. With a prayer and wish ing Fritz “the best o’ luck,” you intro duce him to your "persuader” or knuckle knife. A little later we arrived at the com munication trench named Whisky streeL which led to the fire trench at the point we were to go over the top and out in front. In our rear were four stretcher bear ers and a corporal of the R. A. M. C. carrying a pouch containing medicines and first-aid appliances. Kind of a grim reminder to us that our expedi tion was not going to be exactly a pic nic. The order of things was reversed. In civilian life the doctors generally come first, with the undertakers tag ging in the rear and then the insur ance man, but In our case, the under takers were leading, with the doctor* trailing behind, minus the Insurance adjuster.

Until These Arrive Tltere May Be a Temporary Shortage. All Deals Postponed —Buy in Small Lots Only. RETAILERS CAN GET IMME DIATE SHIPMENTS DI RECT BY PARCEL POST. This advertisement is written on MpDdny, October 21st. It is directed to the attention of all distributors of Vick’s YapoRubt both wholesale and retail. In an emergency such na the present epidemic—our duty—and your ! duly—is to distribute VapoRub in the quickest jiossible manner to those sec tions stricken by Influenza. We. there fore, call your careful attenties Te the following:. DANGER OF SHORTAGE IF SUP- ’ PLY IS NOT CONSERVES On Ociober 1st wc had on baml. at our Factory and in twenty warehouses scattered over-the country, sufficient YapoRub to last us, we thought, until January 1st, allowing for a 50 per cent increase over last year’s sales, and not counting our dally output. This big excess stock had been accumulated during the summer months. Then this epidemic of Spanish In fluenza hit us—and Iu-the last ten days this stock has vanished. At first we Giought this tremendous demand would last only a few days, but the orders have run: Wed., Oct. IC.........18,504 doss. Thur., Oct. IT.........25.323 doz. Fri., Ocf., 18......39,256 doa.Sat., .Oct. 19..... .45.S33 doz. Mon., Oct. 21.........77,705 doz. Up to Saturday, October 19th, we have actually shipped for this month $400,2S4.10, or over two million jars •f VapoRub. THE PROBLEM NOW IS TO DIS- ; TRIBUTE VAPORUB QUICKLY. • Most of this tremendous quantity is sttti en Coute to the jobbers, but freight and express are both con gested nowadays, and it may be some time before this supply reaches the jobbers. Id the meantime, therefore, it is necessary .that we distribute, as widely as possible, the stock that we . are manufacturing daily, together with that -now on the jobbers’ and retailers’ shelves, In order that it may get to the Influenza districts quickly. Our normal output is about' 4,000. dozen per day. We are putting'on a night shift, but it will be a little while be fore that is producing. WHAT WE ASK THE WHOLESALE DRUGGIST TO DO. L Last Saturday we notified all of our jobbers, by Special Delivery, as follows; V - •' 1st—Deals and quantity shipments •of all kinds are cancelled:- Fill no quantity orders of any kiiid, whether VaUen by our salesman or by yoitr own. Sell- in small lots only.... ^ ' 2nd—Order from us In -as small quantities as possible. If you are out we will try to ship a limited amount by Parcel Post or express, and pay the charges ourselves. - - 3rd—In order to make distribution still quicker, we will ship direct to your retail customers quantities not more than three (3) dozen 30c size at any one. shipment. 4tli—We are now out of the 60c size and will be for the next ten days. WHAT WE ASK THE RETAIL DRUGGIST TO DO. Buy In as small quantities as possi ble. If yon have any quantity orders, given the jobber's salesmen or given to our salesmen, don’t bother about them—no need to write us—it is abso lutely impossible to fill .these orders at this time. If the jobbers in your territory are out of Vick’s VapoRub1 we will ship you by Parcel Post, pre paid, quantities not more than three (3) dozen 30c size In any one order. Naturally, we can’t Open, accounts -at this time, so your check or money or der for this amount must accompany order. Don’t write us stating to ship thru your jobber, as we then have to wait until we write this jobber and get his O. K. If you wish the goods to come thru your jobber, have him order them for you. SNOWED UNDER WITH CORRE SPONDENCE: Our force has already been “shot to "pieces’’—twenty-four of bur men are wearing Uncle Sam’s khaki—and this recent rush has simply buried us. AU our sales force has been called In to help in the office and factory. IVe just mention this so you won’t hold It against us if your wires and letters aren’t answered promptly. - SPECIAL BOOKLETS ON SPANISH INFLUENZA.

Where the steam kettle is not available, VapoRub can be used in an ordinary teakettle. Fill the tea kettle half full of boiling water, put In half a teaspoon of VapoRub from Giue to time—keep the kettle just slowly boiling and inhnle: the steam arising. According to a Bulletin .-just issued by . fiie Public Health Service, Dr. Stiles recommends that the nose and throat be kept .coated with some oily substance.- For this purpose’ VnpoRub Is excellent—just put a little up. the nostrils from time to time and snuff I Rocky Mount.—The City Board of Health has lifted the closing ban on i all establishments affected except the aters, schools and pool rooms.

The purpose of the conference is to get before the workers of this district the plans aud instruction's for putting ou a wind-np drive in December that will get- all War Savings pledges redeemed and enough additional sales to complete the State’s War Savinxs quota. This amount is $11,500,000. This final drive is made at the request of Secietary BfcAdoo who says that the War Savings Cam paign must be made a success as has been done, for each of the Lib erty Loan Campaigns. This is the most important work that is now before the people aud is tbeir near est duty. Every county and State is therefore expected to redeem all of its War Savings pledges, com plete its. sales, and make a 100 per cent record before December 31. . . The Safisbary Disti ict is one of the best in the State. Its chances for securing all of its pledges and sales are the most favorable.

Butin the army a fellow’s time is pretty well taken up, and by the time he has written to the home folks there isn’t much time left. However, I feel that this is making rather a poor apology to vou. But, any way, you will pardon my long delay. We often refer to the country, as ‘'Sunny France,” and I guess it comes-pretty , near filling the bill during the summer months, for it sure Is Kot as well as dry. But if you happen to be here during the fall, winter or spring, I think you would say “Rainy France.” !trains every day, -however, there is one consolation, and that isr you get used,to it. Weneverstop for rain here; If we did we would never get anywhere. These French, or better known as “Trogs” don’t seem to mind it at all, they just pin a sack about .their shoulders and go to it. Well, so much for the weather. The scenery of France is what might be called quaint, and Is rather attractive: I' had the opportunity of seeing FrAhce last spring, as we spent several days coming across her. Yes, I rode in a ’ "side door pull- > man,” did yOu ever ride in one? (Oh pardon me for being so person' j al, Mr, Stroud ) But its great sport. J Ten of we fellows were on a bag- j gage detail and rode on the baggage! which was mpre comfortable than I you might imagine. We had rach • er an enjoyable time: and if I were a writer, I think I would write a I book entitled, ‘‘Seeing France From a Box Car.” , I am. well pleased with my location here. There is as good a gang here as you- will,find anywhere. And they are from Boston too. They hrve a mania for eating beans. But I too, have acquired the habit, for really they do know how to “fix ’em i up.” I’ll bet I’ve eaten a million I since I chme into this .place. But getting back to what I started to tell.

Speaking of the scenery. There are some magnificent old Chateaus around here. I visited one not long since that was said to have been built in the fourteenth century. I also visited “The Black Prince Castle” a few weeks ago. I am eu closing a picture of it. But don’t know whether the censor will let it through or not.

Some night when its cold and dark. There will be'a rustling through the front line trench, where our boys, stand guard. And a heavy ladened Secretary will make his way along. In his hands'will be great steaming pots: in his pocket chocolate and ciga rettes. - From one man to another he will go, passing a cup full of hot coffee to hands that tremble with the cold; bringing the comfqrt of a bit of sweet and a; smoke. Men will hail him cheerily, slapping I 1 him on the back; and when he has gone \ things will be a little easier in that trench because he has passed that way. How much will it cost to make that trip, do you suppose? Counting the pittance that the Secretary is paid, and the cost of the chocolate and the ciga rettes and all? . . Five dollars? Twenty-five dollars? I do not know. But whether, it is five dollars or twenty-five, I'd like to: think that it is ray five or twenty-fivie^—wouldn’t you?

With' the American Forces In France.—The American army has be gun to move toward Germany. The army will travel ahout 12 miles each day. To the army just organized has fall en the honor of heading the first big unit of the allied occupational force. The advance will be made In columns and not in order of battle so long followed. But it is not forgotten that technically, at least, there is still a state of war. Nothing will be left to chance and. every precaution will be taken to guard against surprises, not withstanding none is expected. Care will be taken to have the force well elchoned. The advance guard will be followed by engineers who have been instructed not only to re pair roads and reconstruct bridges but to inspect keenly every object and position that might be a trap. Mines will be sought carefully. The Germans have sent word that the way is open and the mines removed except in oases which they have desgnated. Wa ter also will be inspected carefully. 750.000 AMERICAN TROOPS IN LATE DECISIVE BATTLE Paris.—Out of the confusion and daze of the crowding military events on the western battle line since late in September, when battle followed battle until from Flanders to Verdun there was ceaseless action, it is now permissible to outline to a certain ex tent the part played by the American armies in the final decisive battle, of the war, which ended with the armis tice. Military reasons heretofore have prevented accentuating the accom plishments of the Americans, ,except in a most general manner. The dis patches from the field have been nec essarily fragmentary and possibly were overshadowed by the accounts of the more dramatic operations over the historic battlefronts to the west . But it now may be stated that 21 American divisions, totalling more than 750,000 American combat troops, participated in the action' beginning September 26, known variously as the battle of the Argonne and the battle of the Meuse, but which history may call Sedan—the battle that brought Germany to her knees and as far as human foresight' goes ended the world’s bloodiest and costliest war. New , York.—In answer to Germanl claims that surrender or five. thous-1 and locomotives and 150,000 railroad j cars, as demanded by the allies would i bring famine upon the country, Ste- j phane Lauzanae, head of the official: bureau of French information, deelar- 1 ed that Marshal Foch has imposed up-1 en the enemy merely a restitution of rolling stock which its armies of in vasion seized in Belgium and north; ern France early in the war. | “The German authorities pretend.” j said Mr. Lauzanne, “that this equip- i ment is needed to transport food' from the farms to the cities. When the American press is filled with these claims it is perhaps well to remind the public that the invaders seized, in France 50,000 cars and in Belgium the entire railway rolling stock, com- , prising 3,000 engines and 80,000 cars, j The French publicist asserted that j the equipment specified in the armis- ] tice terms is necessary to the ration-1 ing of the civilion populations of Bel gium and northern France “who have been starved and robbed of all they possessed by the German armies of ■occupation.” DREAM OF WORLD DOMINION ENDS IN ABDICATION Power of Hohenzollerns Again to Set World Aflame Is Ended. MAKE INSIDIOUS ATTEMPT AGAINST SOUTHERN CAMPS Washington. — Efforts are being made by northern and western news papers to force the war department to abandon all army camps in the south Secretary 'I*aker was asked by a Republican paper of a middle .western state, why a camp should be built at Fayetteville. The same paper also complained of a Georgia camp. WTien asked by the representative of the western paper what would be done about Camp Bragg, Secretary 3aker said undoubtedly that work in it would be discontinued. A general policy has not been agreed upon, but it is ur.derstod that all camps now under construction will be given up. Secretary Baker also announced that all development battalions would be discharged within a short time. There are about 50,000 men in this class. The war •department has been trying to correct defects in their phy siques so that they could be sent to to the front. All of these men are to have honorable discharges. Washington.—!Unanimous, approval of the aiimltsice terms imposed on Germany was voiced by members of I Congress. Unconditional surrecder was the in terpretation -of"most senators and-! representatives, although some ex pressed disappointment that demob ilization of the German armies was not required. Sentiment for punish ment- of those responsible for mur ders and other atrocities also was voiced. I President Wilson’s suggestion in his address informing Congress of the armistice terms that the victorious na tions extend aid to the peoples of the central-powers in their efforts for self government and to prevent them from further .suffering for want of .food and other necessities of life, also was commended. Vice President Marshal] said: j “The President’s address sets a high water mark in the annals of the justice of Bnglishrfspeaking- peoples and of all the allies. For the future, justice must lead and not follow suc cess." ; Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania: 1 “The terms of the armistice with most satisfactory. From now on, government will be responsive to the wishes of the people.” Senator Pomerene, of Ohio: “The terms of the armistice with Geiinany will prove- universally ac ceptable. One thing, however, the al lies, including the United States, must insist upon—that the officers and men guilty of the horrible cruelties which have shocked.humanity;shall be turn ed over to them for'trial and.punish ment." THIRTY DAY ARMISTICE; DANGERS ARE POINTED OUT PLAGUE OF INFLUENZA WAS MORE FATAL THAN WAR PRESIDENT IS INVITED TO LAY CORNERSTONE IN FRANCE Washington.—The recent ‘epidemic of influenza iii the United States caus ed more deaths than occurred among the American expeditionary forces from all causes. This announcement by the census bureau was based on unofficial' esti mates of tile total casualties among ; the overseas forces and reports from j 46 cities having a combined popula- I tion of 23,000,000, which showed 82,- j 306 deaths from influenza and pneu- ; monia from Septemlier 9 to NoVem* I ber 9. » Normally these cities would have had 4,000 deaths from these causes j during this period, it was said, leaving i approximately 78,000 as the number properly chargeable to the epidemic. “The total casualties in the Ameri can expeditionary forces.” said the an nouncement,' “have recently 'been un officially estimated at 100,000. On the basis of the number thus far reported, it may be assumed that the deaths from all causes, including disease and accidents are probably less than 45 per cent and -may not be more than 40 per cent of the total casualties.” KfNG AND QUEEN OF BELGIUM HAVE NOT ENTERED BRUSSELS London.—Confirmation has been re ceived here that Germans are pillag ing or destroying property in the su burbs of Brussels. Although the move ment is in no sense revolutionary, it is regarded probable that allied mili tary steps 1Will be necessary to enforce the armistice. Advices received In London say that the entry of the Belgian king and queen into Brussels has been post poned. Paris--Britisli Wireless Service)— President Wilson will be invited -to lay the cornerstone of the proposed monu ment at the mouth of the Gironde riv er, commemorative of the help given to France by the United States in the war.. A national fund for the purpose has been started and now amounts to 300,000 francs. MEN IN DEVELOPMENT CAMPS TO BE FIRST DEMOBILIZED Washington.—-Men of the develop ment battalions will be the first units of the army demobilized, Secretary Baker announced: There are about 50.000 men now in these battalions and they will be mustered ont as soon as they can .fee given the necessary physical examination. The duration of the armistice is 30 days and various periods are specified •within those 30 days for compliance with certain specific terms. One provision of the armistice was inserted after the Germaii revolution aries took possession ot the German fleet. It provides that if the fleet is not delivered as specified in the agree ment, the associated governments may occupy the Helgoland fortress as an advanced base to secure possession of it. In his address to Congress the President sounded a note of warning, that unless the German people are fed, unless -their distress is relieved, there is danger of bolshevism. The question of what sort of government might arise to make peace, he declar ed, was a matter for no small anxiety and misgiving. BLOOD CEASES TO FLOW AND FRANCE REJOICES MANY SH IPS DEMANDED BY ARMISTICE SUNK BY CREW S Copenhagen--A large number _of ships demanded by the allies under the naval terms of the armistice were sunk by their German crews during the revolution, according to Germania, of Berlin. *•Clause 30 of the armistice provides that all merchant vessels in German Hands belonging to the allied and as sociated powers are fo be restored in ports to be specified by the allies and the United States. NO CHANGE AT PRESENT, IN PRICES OF COTTON GOODS Washington.—The price fixing com mittee of the war industries board has recommended to President Wilson that the present cotton fabric prices he continued until January I. and that after that'date no further action with regard to cotton fabric prices be taken by the committee. GREAT PEACE CONGRESS W ILL CONVENE AT AN EARLY DATE Washington.—Developments In Eu rope, BOt only in the military, but in the field of international politics, and the tendency of the revolutionary spirit manifested • by the demoralized c i v i l i a n .population of the central em pires to spread to enighboring states, h a v e influenced the allied and Ameri can governments to arrange for the meeting at an early date of the great peace congress.

The whole chamber rose to greet the premier while the galleries, in which was a predomi nance of soldiers In uniform and wo- /men cheered several minutes. Prolonged cheering greeted the an nouncement that Alsace-Lorraine .would be occupied. GERARD URGES EXTRADITION AND TRIAL OF EX-KAISER Plunged World Into G reatest W ar in History and Now Goes Into Oblivion. The abdication of the kaiser and the renunciation of the crown prince ends the power of the two men solely re sponsible for plunging the world into the bloodiest conflict in all history. The kaiser sought world dominion and won—world hatred. Tlie military leaders of Prussia, its philosophers, teachers, preachers and business men, for years directed the moral, intellec tual and material resources of the em pire toward the tremendous concen tration and consummation of organ ized power which in 1914 he let loose upon the world. His armies crushed by the hosts of civilization, his empire torn by revolution, he now retires to private life with the record of being the. bloodiest-minded and most hatred ruler the world has evei known. Sought W orld Dominion. He signed the order for the German mobilization. He stood sponsor for the terrorism and brigandage which,- under the guise of warfare, ravished Belgium, laid waste the cities of France, depopulated and outraged Ser bia and sent the Lusitania with her freight of women nnd children to a grave in the Atlantic. Civilization will never forget that it was the minions of the emperor who officially -shot to death Editli Cavell, the English nurse who befriended the Belgians iu Brussels. Against these his cry “I did not will the war” availed as nothin". Before the bar of humanity William was ad judged guilty of the greatest crime since the crucifixioa. In him human ity saw the last of the autocrats, the final Caesar. Assertions that he was at heart peaceful, so persistently circulated for years as to give them the stamp of German propoganda, became branded as false. He who had long proclaimed himself the prince of . peace stood re vealed as humanity’s scourge, and against him and all that lie represent ed rose the new world of democracy and freedom: Claims Almighty as His Ally. Many doubt whether William was entirely sane. He said repeatedly that he possessed a divine mandate to. rule, that-the Almiglity was Ills “uncondi tional and avowed ally.” It is not en tirely clear whether sucli outgivings were the product of a disordered brain or were due to unbounded egotism and an effort to impress his subjects with the idea of reverent and unquestioning submission. His speches to his armies in which he asserted lie and they were “instru ments of divine judgment upon Ger many's enemies” were regarded by many outside of Germany as pieces of rhetoric, intended only to deceive his own people. Few statesmen realized that the em peror in Iiis “shining armor,” maneu vering his armies and fleets, building up the German military system, ce menting the central empires and Tur key, arid fostering the preaching of the supremacy of autocracy, was erecting a machine that one day would make war upon all civilization. Tet the world was warned by some far-sighted men that the emperor would one day bring catastrophe upon the nations. These men saw In him then and see him now as a mad inven tor, given in his youth the- most dan,* gerous of all toys—his army and navy. They were his playthings. He de veloped them throughout the years to the point where he had to put them to a test. Like a crazed inventor, -ifi feared the end of his reign would find his inventions untried, so grasped the first opportunity to wage a world war. Seizes Pretense to Open War. Meantime the German war party grew, with William at Its head, and the scheme of world dominion awaited the hour to begin its attainment. It came with the assassination of the Austrian Archduke Francis Ferdinand and his wife at Sarajevo. Becalled from a yachting trip. Wil liam presided at"a conference at Pots dam of representatives of the German and Austrian armies, navies and com mercial interests. There, according to the best information obtainable, the decision was reached to make the as sassination of the archduke a pretense for the world war for which Germany had long prepared. In the diplomatic exchanges between Germany and Austria on one side and Great Britain, France and Hussia on the other William posed as one wishing for peace but driven to war. He signed the order for the mobiliza- C0MPLAIN AUSTRIA IS FALSE New York.—Extradition' of former Emperor William of Germany from Holland and his trial in England on the charge of murder for ,which he has been indicted there, was urged here by Jas. W. Gerard.- “There is a treaty between Holland and England,” Mr. Gerard declared, “by which they can extradite the ex-kaiser, who has been indicted in Etogland and try him be fore an English court. I guess we all linow what the verdict would be.” Comander in Chief of Italian Navy Re ports Armistice Treaty Has Not Been Complied With.

Publication of tlie . “Willy-Nicky’’ correspondence In IOlT pIaced the Ger man emperor in the light of'im unscru pulous plotter. The telegrams disclosed that Emperor William had. induced Emperor'Nicholas of Russia to sign a' secret agreement to which he was tq. force the adherence of Fmnce in the perfection of an offensive and defens ive' alliance against England. The treaty was discovered and repudiated by a Russian minister. Failing In his attempt, the German emperor set' upon himself the task of drawing England to his side against France and Russia. How well he thought he bad suc ceeded in this may be gathered from I a letter he wrote to President Wilson in 1914 in which he said King George had promised Prince Henry of Prussia, ■ on July 29, 1914, that England Wouldi ; remain neutral in a war involving the central powers with France and Rus sia. Lichnowsky Shpws Up Intrigue.' Perhaps the most direct and authori tative of the accusations against the German emperor and the pan-Germans are contained In the published secret memorandum of Prince Charles Max Lichnowsky, who was German am bassador at London at the outbreak of hostilities.The prince unequivocally placed the blame for the war on Germany, and for Iiis frankness-was imprisoned in a Silesian chateau, permanently expelled from the Prussian house of lords, which action was sanctioned by the emperor, and finally was exiled to Switzerland.Emperor William’s domination over German statesmen, diplomats and the high command of the German army was emphasized by Dr. Wilhelm Muehlon,. a former director of the Krupp works, the great German muni tions factory, In his book on “The Devastation'of Europe.” In this he not only laid blame upon Germany for bad faith and criticized the German army for its brutality but asserted that in the German foreign office “only he who did the emperor’s bidding was al lowed to remain,” “They could not do better,” he declared, "because of the character, the power, the vascllla- tlon of and continued' Interference by the kaiser.”It was Doctor Muelilon who asserted the authenticity of the statement that Emperor William stated at a meeting of German army officers that he had plenty of prisoners, and that he hoped the officers would see that no more prisoners were taken. Maximilian Harden, a German lib eral leader, declared the German ruler brought on the war because of his de sire “for something like world rule.” .“No Nonsense From Us.” The emperor, despite his previous expressions of good will for America, gave vent to his anger against the United States when It became evident no official action would be. taken to stop the shipment of munitions and supplies to the entente allies by de claring to the American ambassador, JiUnes XV. Gerard, “I shall stand no nonsense from America after the war.”'William’s'designs to spread German dominion in Asia found expression In his famous visits to Constantinople when he .was proclaimed os protector of the Moslems. In this the world saw a cunning step toward achievement of the German ambition of German do minion from Berlin to Bagdad. Friedrich Wilhelm VictAr Albert was born January 27, 1859. and became Emperor William H on the death of his father, Frederick III, June 13,1888. He came out of the University of Bonn fully prepared to enter the school of statecraft. Set to work In the govern ment bureaus, he was early taught the routine of official business under the tutelage of the great Bismarck. At the death of his father, the im perial throne devolved. upon William n, who was then but twenty-nine years of age. Bismarck continued as chancellor, but not for long. In 1890 the disagreement of the two men reached a crisis, a rupture came and Bismarck went. The relations be- tween the two men remained strained for several years, but before Bismarck died peace was made between them. Stickler for Military Etiquette. With the passing of Bismarck the em peror's real reign began. As a mili tary man he was a stickler for effi ciency, discipline and the observance of etiquette to the last detail. And with the details of all these components of army life and training he was familiar to the smallest point. .In everything he was described as thorough and, withal,. one of the hard est workers in the empire. Physically unimpressive—he was short and inclined to stoutness—Wll- Htm was fond of being photographed while striking a military posture, though taking good care to veil the • deformity of his left arm, a disfigure-: ment with which he was bom and of : which lie was extremely sensitive. He blamed his English mother for living a life of self-indulgence and cursed her repeatedly as being responsible for his deformity. “Information has not been supplied concerning the location and move ments of the Austro-Hungarian ships. Maps of the mine fields and other ob stacles have not been communicated. The merchant ships of the allied pow ers have not been handed over.

A ttacks Made by Interests. The North Carolina division of mar kets issued the following statement: “It is clear that the attack on cot ton has been made by interests who have been promoting a propaganda during the last year, peace finds a tre mendous short interest in cotton1 and cotton goods and in the future will make a situation for which these, pro moters will be liable. “This short interest can only be liquidated by the actual cotton in the South. If the South stands firm peace can be expected to bring such an ad vance as the market has rarely seen. The issue is put squarely up to the producers and business men of the South whether they will retain control ■ of the liquidation of their chief crop Sodiers Barred From Cafes. The first drastic action to be taken by Camp Polk authorities aimed at safeguarding the health of the soldiers in camp here came in the shape of an order prohibiting the men to enter any one of seven cafes, four white and three colored. The County cafe, B. and B. cafe, Capital cafe, Hamlin’s Ideal cafe, Star cafe, Hattie Young cafe and the New York cafe are un der the ban. The h'valtli officials re ported to the camp authorities that the sanitary conditions in these cafes did not measure up with government requirements. G reat T obbaco Crop. Never 'before was there a crop of to bacco so large as this year’s. With the exception of Tennessee and Ken tucky, every Southern State increas ed its production' this year, North Car olina leading with an increase of 38,- 000,000 pounds over last year’s large crop. The production by states is: Virginia 150,997,000 pounds, an in crease of 21,000,000 pounds; North Carolina 242,220,000, increase 38,000,- 000; South Carolina 62,208,000 pounds, increase 11,000,000; Florida 4,416,000, increase 1,000,000; Tennessee 62,018,- 000, decrease 17,000,000; Kentucky, 388,170,000, decrease 38,000,000.

Petition to Increase Rates. The Corporation Commission heard petitions from a number of public utilities in North Carolina seeking authority to raise light rates and car fares to different cities. The Salisbury Spnecer Railway Company asked permission to in crease car fares in Salisbury and Spencer to seven cents and to aise its gas rates in the two places and at Concord, where increased street car fares are already operative. The North Carolina Public Service Company argued an application' to in crease street railway rates in Higli Point to seven cents. The Piedmont Power and Light Company also pre sented a petition to advance light charges in Burlington, Graham, Gib- sonville and Mebaine. Opposition to the proposed new charges was only mild, the companies contending that increased operating expenses made it necessary for the advances asked. Health W ork to Continue. Without official advices, it was the opinion at the offices of the United States Public Health Service, which were established here with the com ing of Camp Polk1 that the work be gun by the service would be carried on until completion irrespective of the status of the camp, which may or may not be altered in the next few days. An additional allotment of $10,000 /from the service for use in rural sani tation work in Wake and Durham ■counties gives emphasis -to the cor rectness of this opinion. Authority to •begin this work right away was re ceived yesterday by Capt. C. E.

By EDWARD W. PICKARD. The great war is virtually ended. At the time of writing hostilities had not ceased, but the plenipotentiaries of Germany had crossed the lines to a point near Guise, bearing a white flag, and were there considering the armis tice terms offered them by Marshal Foch. That they would be compelled to accept these terms was considered a foregone conclusion. Though "the terms of the armistice Iiad not been made public, those grant ed to Austria and Turkey proved that Germany would be forced to accept terms that meant unconditional sur render, with all that implies. The al lies were in a position to refuse to listen to anything short of that. Pres ident Wilson had notified the German high command that it would have to mill operatives. The work at Shelby was arranged by Mr. I. C. .Griffin, superintendent of the Shelby schools. Mr. Browne states that all of these classes will be of great value in" the making of efficient workmen who un- berger, General Winterfeld, Count von Oberndorfl!, General von Gruenell and Nuval Captain von Salow carriod the white flag to the generalissimo-of the allies. Whether they were fully em powered to act for Germany was not side of their effort. derstaod somewhat of the theoretical1 stated, but it was supposed Uiat if it were necessary to submit the terms to the relchstag, such action would be in the nature of a formality. Thus, after four years and three months of terrible conflict, the great war, involving directly most of the na tions of the globe, has come to a "fclose with the utter defeat of Germany and her allies, the complete failure of the gigantic conspiracy to force upon the world the rule of militaristic autocracy. At the expense of millions of lives and billions of treasure the reign of democracy has been established throughout the world. The price has not been too great, for the victorious nations, and- perhaps some of the con quered, have been regenerated by the blood they have shed and the gold they have spent. Her military front in the west col lapsing, her home front breaking down, her people ready to revolt and her troops forming soviets after the fash ion of the Russian bolsheviki, Germany had to give up the struggle. Had the Price Not High Enough. In spite of unusually favorable weather for cotton picking permitting the cotton growers in North Carolina to harvest an unusual percentage of high grade cotton, growers are not yet receiving their rightful premium for this good cotton, according to Mr. O. J. McConnell, specialist in cotton mar keting for the Nortii Carolina Agricul tural Extension Service. Mr. McConnell and his assistants will grade cotton for ainy farmer in the State who will send samples to him at Raleigh and farmers will do well to take advantage of the opportu nity: Cotton is not being sold freely during the present period of depressed prices, and the slight delay incurred in sending samples to Raleigh will not inconvenience any grower.

And now for the peace conference. The first question is the place where tlie momentous meeting shall be held. The United States offers Washington. Great Britain favors The Hague; Prance, Versailles; Italy, Geneva. All are supposed to favor Washington as second choice. If the conference should meet in our national capital, it is believed President Wilson will pre side; if elsewhere, some other Ameri can, presumably Colonel House, will Professor Johnston Killed. Naws has been received here that Lieut.

He graduated from the Uni versity in 1910 an dafter four years of postgraduate work was in7ited to take a places in the faculty. two modifications which have been accepted by him. These are that repa ration by Germany shall include com pensation for all damage done to the civilian population of the allies' and their property by the Germans by land, by sea, and from the air; and that the entente allies reserve to themselves complete freedom on the subject of tlie interpretation of the phrase* “freedom of the seas.” Information on tliis was sent to Berlin by Secre tary Lansing In the same note that told the Huns to ask an nrniistice from Foch. — t e — Prominent men of England and France, backed by the press of those countries, insist that the German mili tary commanders and others who have been personally responsible for the brutalities and inhumanities of the war shall be brought personally to trial and punishment. The names of these wretches have been carefully compiled by the British and French and Belgians during the years of war fare, and if they are permitted to go unpunished there will be a general outburst of wrath. The Individuals thus accused include the officials of the Krupp works, who were In con spiracy with the militarists to bring on the war. What will happen to Kaiser Wil helm is still on the Inps of the gods. He is no longer a free agent, and there have been loud and persistent calls in the cities of Germany for his abdication. However, the German gov ernment, after long consultation with the leaders of all parties, decided that he should' remain on the throne, at least for the present. Tlie Socialists wanted to oust him as a symbol of the militaristic system that has brought disaster on Germany; but the other parties believed he should be retained as the symbol of the unity of the Ger man empire, which is so threatened just now. That they have reason to fear the growing separatist movement is evidenced by the Munich journals, which openly advocate the separation of Bavaria from the empire. — The allied commanders In France and Belgium gave no sign that they knew armistice negotiations were un der way and the end of the war at hand. Not for one second did they cease their furious attack on the arm ies of the Huns, and the result was that before the end of the week the latter were facing the most complete disaster that could overtake them. The fighting raged all along the front from Ghent, which was surrounded and taken by the British, Belgians and Amerlcaus, to the region north of Ver dun, where the Americans were forg ing ahead despite fierce resistance and almost insurmountable difficulties of terrain. Between these points tlie French armies, assisted on each wing by their allies, were mighty busy in op erations designed-to complete the work of cutting off the retreat of the Hun armies in the great pocket between the Holland border and Metz. Be tween the Sambre and the Scheldt three British armies engaged twenty- five German divisions and utterly de feated them, inflicting terrible losses and compelling a general retreat. On their right, after taking Valenciennes, they drove ahead through the Mormal forest, captured Le Quesnoy, and al most reached Maubeuge. The Canadi ans, on the British left, made equally important advances. —te — After accomplishing the difficult crossing of the Sambre canal and then starting the Huns well on their way eastward, the French made' one of the greatest leaps forward recorded dur ing the war. Vervins, Montcornet and Rethel, all German strongholds, and innumerable towns and villages of less importance were taken and passed by the irresistible Poilus, with whom an Italian corps was operating, and clear down to the Meuse the enemy was In full flight. So fast did the Huns fall back and so close on their, heels were the French that the Germans were compelled to abandon many guns and great stores of material, ami their losses in prisoners were enormous. - S a - Meanwhile the Yankees were car rying out their part of the big. drive by smashing through the German lines on Iioth sides of the Meuse, and by Tliursday they had entered Sedan and were close to Montmedy, Jrezieres and other important towns'. The feat of the Americans in forcing the crossing of the' Mfiuse river and canal south of Dun and the taking of that town was one of the most dashing of all the in cidents of the whole war. The dough boy 1Aad to swim across the water ways under, heavy machine-gun fire and to climb the steep banks of tlie ennal with the aid of grappling hooks. Between the river and the canal they had to cross a stretch of mud 1« ^ three-quarters of a mile wide. The engineers gallantly did their share, building pontoon and foot bridges and our troops, tired but jubilant, proceed ed to chase the swiftly retreating Huns to the north and east. The prin cipal lateral lines of communication between JIetz and northern France and Belgium were thus cut. —S a - Italy took full revenge for the de feat of Caporetto before the armistice with Austria went into effect on No vember 4. Tliough the submission of the Austrian commanders was a fore gone conclusion, General Dlaz didn’t lose a moment waiting for it, but went swiftly ahead with the job of abso-' lutely crushing tlie enemy forces. It is estimated that in that last offensive tlie Italians took about 500,000 pris oners, and that they hold fully a mil lion Austrians In their prison camps. The value of tlie material captured In the recent weeks is put at $5,000,- 000,000, and It Includes 200,000 horses and 6,000 guns. The collapse of the great Austrian army was complete, and the scenes In the redeemed Ital ian . territory where thousands on thousands of prisoners were being moved were said to be reminiscent of the retreat of Napoleon from Moscow. Of course the armistice terms granted the Austrians were most severe, and in cluded In them was free passage of the allied armies through Austrian territory, with use of Austrian means of transportation. This meant the opening of the way to attack Germany from the south and to protect Rou- mania. Emperor Charles refused to sign these terms, so that was done by tlie Austrian chief of staff. There was some question as to who could repre sent the late dual kingdom, for it is all broken up now. Hungary, under the leadership of Count Karolyi, has made complete its separation from Austria and will hold a plebiscite on the question of being a ldngdom or a republic. Really nothing Is left to Charles except the German part of Austria, and that shows signs of join ing the German confederation. The disposition of the peoples of southern middle Europe is going to be one of the most delicate and difficult prob lems the peace conferees will have to solve. If possible, It must be so solved that this region, fcr ages a hotbed of international troubles, will be satis fied and at peace. All Italy went wild with joy over its great victory, and the various cit ies of Italia' Irridenta, now redeemed, greeted with acclaim the occupying forces of Italian troops and the civ ilian authorities. Having conquered their ancient foe, the Italians dis played a remarkable spirit of forgive ness and treated the defeated AustrI- ans with utmost generosity. —S3— Russia remains the one field of con flict, and It is not conceivable that the fighting can be kept up there for very long. Siberia is pretty definitely under the control of the allies, the Czecho-SlovaIcs and loyal Russians, at least as far as lines of communi cation are concerned. The government of northern Russia has acknowledged the government set up at Omsk as su preme and the bolsheviki now find their main strength is confined tp the Volga valley region. The soviets are still powerful In many places, but the terrible food conditions and the fear of the approaching winter are having their effect. Germany formally sev ered relations with the bolshevik gov ernment last week, and the latter asked the allies to open peace negotia tions at a time and place of their own choosing. Since none of the al lied governments ever recognized the bolshevik government. It is difficult to see how anything could come of this except the surrender of the bolsheviki to the establishment of decent a.nd safe governmental confirms. — f e — . Finland is sore. Its people declare they were misled by th“ Germans and that a German king was il^'iist upon them without their desire. It would not be at all surprising If that king were forced to abdicate in the near future and if a republican form of gov ernment we.re inaugurated.—sa— The imminence of the: cessation of warfare caused General Crowder and his aids to consider seriously the sus pension of the November draft call, un der which more than 800,000 men have been ordered to army camps.

Avoid crowds, coughs and coward?, but fear neither germs nor Germans?: Keep tlie system in good order, plenty of exercise in tlie fresh air and practice cleanliness. Remember a clear, mouth, a clean skin, and clean bowels are a protecting armour against disease. To keep the liver and bowels regular and to carry away the poisons within, it Is best to take a vegetable pill every other day, made up of May-apple, aloe* jalap, and sugar-coated, to be liad at most drug stores, known as Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. If there is a sudden onset of what appears like a hard col«i, one should go to bed, wrap warm, take a hot mustard foot-bath and drink copi ously of hot lemonade. If pain develop? In head or back, ask the druggist for Anurle (anti-uric) tablets. These wil! flush the bladder and kidneys and carry off poisonous germs. To control tiie pains and aches take one Anuric table: every two hours, with frequent drink; of lemonade. The pneumonia appears In a most treacherous way, when the influenza victim is apparently recover ing and anxious to leave his bed. In re covering from a bad attack of influenza or pneumonia the system sliouiil be built up with a good herbal tonic, suck as Dr. Pierce’s Golden JIedical Discov ery, made without alcohol from the roots and barks of American fores: trees, or his Irontic (iron tonic) tablets, which can be obtained at most tlrn? stores, or send 10c. to Dr. Pierce's Inva lids* Hotel, Buffalo, N.

C. men did not seem to disturb the raiders, be cause man; a joke made in an under tone, .was passed along the winding column, as. to who would be first to take a ride on one of the stretchers. This was generally followed by a wish that, if you were to be the one, the wound would be a “cushy Blighty one.” The stretcher bearers, no doubt, hoping that, if they did have to carry anyone to the rear, he would be small and light. Perhaps they looked at me when wishing, because I could feel an uncomfortable, boring sensation be tween my shoulder blades. They got their wish all right. Going .up this trench, about every sixty yards or so we would pass a lone ly sentry, who In a whisper would wish us "the best o’ luck, mates.” We would blind at him under our breaths; that Jonah phrase to us sounded very ominous. Without any casualties the minstrel troop arrived at Suicide ditch, the front-line trench. Previously, a wiring party of the Uoyal Engineers bad cut a Ian? through our barbed wire to en able us to get out into No Man’s Land.Crawling through this lane, our party of twenty took up an extended- order formation about one yard apart. We had a tap code arranged for our movements while in No Man’s Land, because for various reasons it is not safe to carry on a heated conversation a few yards in front of Fritz’ lines. The officer was on the right of the Une, while I was on the extreme left. Two taps from the right would be passed down the line until I received them, then I would send back one tap. The officer, in receiving this one tap. would know that bis order had gone down the whole line, had been understood, and that the party was ready to obey the two-tap signal. Two taps meant that we were to crawl forward slowly—and believe me, very slowly— for five yards, and then halt to await further instructions. ThrCe taps meant, when you arrived within striking dis tance of the German trench, rush it and inflict as many casualties a,s pos sible, secure a couple of prisoners, and ■ then back to your own lines with the speed clutch open. Four taps meant, “I have gotten you into' a position from which it is impossible for me to extri- , eate you, so you are on your own.” j After getting Tommy into a mess on ' the western front he is generally told . that he is “on his own.” This means, “Save your skin in any way possible.” Tommy loves to be "on his own” behind the lines, but not during a trench raid.

Noth ing happened.. I suppose the fellow who cut the barbed wire improperly was the one who had sneezed about half an hour previously. What we wished him would never make his new. year a happy one. The officer, In my opinion, at the noise of the wire should have given the four-tap signal, which meant, “On your own, get back to your trenches as quickly as possible,” but again he must have relied on the spiel that Old Pep per had given us in the dugout, “Per sonally I believe that that part of the German trench is unoccupied.” Any way, we got careless, but not so care less that we sang patriotic songs or •made any unnecessary noise.. During the intervals of falling star shells we carried on with our wire cut ting until at last we succeeded in get ting through the German barbed wire. At this point we were only ten feet from the German trenches. If we were discovered, we were like rats in a trap. Our way was cut off unless we ran along the wire to the narrow lane we had cnt through. With our hearts In our mouths we waited for the three- tap signal to rush the German trench. Three taps had gotten about halfway down the line when suddenly about ten to twenty German star shells were fired all along the trench and landed In the barbed wire In rear of us, turn ing night into day and silhouetting us against the wall of light made by the flares. In the glaring light we were confronted by the following unpleasant scene. AU, along the German trench, at about three-foot Intervals, stood a big Prussian guardsman with his rifle at the' aim, and then we found out why we had not been challenged when the man sneezed and the barbed wire had been improperly cut. About three feet in front of the trench they had con structed a single fence of barbed wire and we know our chances were one thousand to one of returning alive. We could not rush their trench on ac count'of this second defense. Then fui: of blood and brains, then I went crazy with fear and horror and rushed along the wire until I came to our lane. I bad just turned down this lane when something inside of me seemed to say, “Look around." I did so; a bul let caught me on the left shoulder. It did not hurt much. Just felt as if soma- one had punched me in the back, and then my left side went numb. My arm was dangling like a rag. I fell forward in a sitting position. But all the fear had left me and I was consumed with rage and cursed the German trenches. With my right hand I felt in my tunic for ray first-aid or shell dressing. In feeling over my tunic my hand came In contact with one of Jtlie bombs which I carried.

A star shell from the German Unes fell about five yards in the rear and to the right of me; we hugged the ground and held our breath until it burned out. The smoke from the star shell traveled along the ground and crossed over‘the middle of our line. Some Tommy sneezed. The smoke had gotten up his nose. We crouched on the ground, cursing the offender under our breath, and waited the volley that generally ensues when the Germans have heard a noise In No Man’s Land. Nothing happened. We received two taps and crawled forward slowly for five yards; no doubt the officer be lieved what Old Pepper had said, “Per sonally I believe that that part of the German trench Is unoccupied.” By be ing careful and remaining motionless when the star shells fell behind us, we reached the German barbed wire with out mlshnp. Then the fun began^ I was scared stiff as it is ticklish work cutting your way through wire when about'thirty feet In front of you there Is a line of Boches looking out Into No Man’s Land with their rifles lying across the parapet, straining every sense to see or hear what is going on In No Man's Land; because at night. FrItz never knows when a bomb with his name and number on it will come hurtling through the air aimed in the direction of Berlin. The man on the right, one man in the. center and my self on the extreme left were equipped with, wire cutters. These are insulated with soft rubber not because the Ger man wires are charged with electricity, but to prevent the cutters rubbing against the barbed wire stakes, which are of iron, and making a noise which may warn the inmates of the trench that someone is getting fresh In their front yfird. There Is only one way to cut a barbed wire without noise- and through costly experience Tommy has become an expert in doing this. You must grasp the wire about two inches from the stake in your right hand and cut betweeu the slake and your hand. If you cut a wire improperly, a loud twang will ring out on the night air like the snapping, of a banjo string. Perhaps this noise can be heard only for fifty or seventy-five yards, but In Tommy’s mind it makes a loud noise in Berlin.We had cut a lane about halfway through the wire when, down the center of our li n e , twang !, went an im properly cut wire. We crouched down, ■nrsing under our breath, trembling all W«r. our Vneen 'scerated from the m towards the German trench. I must j'sacrifice, have been out of my head, because I was onfy ten feet from the trench anil took a chance of being mangled. It the bomb had failed to go into the trench I would have been blown to bits by the explosion of my own bomb. By the flare of the explosion of the bomb, which luckily landed in their trench, I saw one big Boche throw np his arms and fall backwards, while his rifle Ilew into the air. Another one i wilted and fell forward across sandbags—then blackness. Realizing what a foolhardy and risky tiling I had done, I was again seized with a horrible fear. I dragged myself to my feet and ran madly down the lane through the barbed wire, stum bling over cut wires, tearing my uni form, and lacerating my hands and legs. Just as I was about to reach No Man’s Land again, that same voice seemed to say, “Turn around." I did so, when, “crack,” another bullet caught me, this time in the left shoulder about one-half inch away from the other wound. Then it was taps for me. The lights went out. When I came to I was crouching in a hole in No Man’s Land. This shell hole was about three feet deep, so that It brought my head a few Inches below the level of the ground. How I reached this hole I will never know. German “typewriters” were traversing back and forth in No Man’s Land, the bul lets biting the edge of my shell hole and throwing dirt all over me. Overhead shrapnel was bursting.I could hear the fragments slap the ground. Then I went out once more. When I came to everything was silence and darkness in No Man’s Land. I was soaked with blood and a big flap from- the wound In my cheek was hang ing over my mouth. The blood running from this flap choked me. Out of the corner of my mouth I would try and -blow It back,, but It would not move. I reached for my shell dressing and tried, with one hand, to bandage my face to prevent the flow. I had an awful horror of bleeding to death and was getting very faint. You would have laughed If you had seen my ludicrous attempts at bandaging with one hand. The pains in my wounded shoulder were awful and I was getting sick at the stomach.

Before reaching this lane I came to a limp .form which seemed like a bag of oats hanging over the wire.

Then all aloug our Une came a cheer and our boys came over the top in a charge. The first wave was composed of “Jocks.” They were a magnificent sight, kilts, flapping in the wind, bare knees showing, and their bayonets glistening.

Honey-Producing Plants. The white-clover belt is tlie most im portant lioney-producing region, be cause it furnishes not only the leading commercial honey but also more than one-half of the honey crop of the en tire country. This belt extends from Maine to Virginia and westward to the semiarid plains. From white clover alone is. secured about one-tenth of the nation’s crop of honey. This kind is almost colorless, has a heavy body, and a distinct but delicate and de licious flavor. Alfalfa honey is second in commei cial importance. Its region is mostlj west of the one liundredtli meridian and it is colorless, except in the South western states, where it darkens to amber, with a distinctive spicy oi minty flavor. . Third in importance for honey pro Auction is sweet clover, a native, anil mostly wild legume growing abundant Iy throughout all of the western moun tain find plateau states and In less <U gree eastward to tlie Atlantic state? About 4 per cent of the surplus honey—that is, the honey that bees do not require for their own sustenance —comes from the flowers of the col tbn plant, 3% per cent from the bass wood tree or American linden, aboui 3 per cent each from the tulip poplar tree and buckwheat, and 2 per cent from tlie goldenrod, a widespread plant that produces a highly flavored, golden honey. The mountain sages of Cali fornia produce a type -of honey of much importance and, by common con sent, one of the finest of ail in absence of color, in density, and in flavor. At least 35 per cent of the honey crop comes from the clovers and alfalfa, i W here Honey Comes From.

Any kind of coal stove or furnace can be used for burning wood in a pinch. With a careful attention to drafts and grates the change can be made with tittle trouble. On the average, a cord of wood is about equal to seven-tenths of a ton of coal. Two cords of soft wood' are required to equal a ton of coal, bat a cord of wood from a number of well- known kinds of trees will equal a ton of coal in heating value, and for three varieties—usage orange,. canyon, live oak and black locust—a cord has a higher heating value than a • ton of coal.

Swift & Company has frequently stated that its profit on beef averages only one- fourth of a cent a pound, and hence has practically no effect on the price. Comparison has been made by the Federal Trade Commission of this profit with the profit on coal, and it has pointed out that anthracite coal operators are content with a profit of 25 cents a ton, whereas the beef profit of one-fourth of a cent a pound means a profit of $5.00 a ton. The comparison does not point out that anthracite coal at the seaboard is worth at wholesale about $7.00 a ton, whereas a ton of beef of fair quality is. worth about $400.00 wholesale. Tocany die comparison further, the 25 cent profit on coal Is 3% per cent of the $7.00 value. The $5.00 profit on beef is only V/4 per cent of the $400.00 value. The profit has little effect on price in either case, but has less effect on the price of beef than on the price of coal. Coal may be stored in the open air indefinitely; beef must be kept in expensive coolers because it is highly perishable and must be refrigerated. ’ Coalifhandied by the c&rload or ton; beefis deliv ered to retailers by the pound or hundred weight. Methods of handling are vastly different. Coal is handled in open cars; beef m u s t be shipped in refrigerator cars at an even temperature. Fairness to the public, fairness to Swift & Company, fairness to the packing industry, demands that these indisputable, facts be considered. It is impossible to disprove Swift & Company’s state ment, that,its profits on beef are so small as to have practically no effect on prices. Swift & Company, U. S. A.

Christian women of all denominations. North, South, East and West, are request ed to join in a service of prayer on No vember 21,1918—a union service, if pos sible, that there may be strength. The women of city churches, of village churches, of country churches are called to unite in the day ofprayer for America and its institutions in this its great crisis. Perhapsno lesson of these wartimes is more apparent than that of organization, of speedy mobilization, of concentration upon a given task. The American government calls for money, for life, for prayer, and the natiou responds. The church is calling upon its women to pour out their lives in prayer on this set day. The women of France and England and our own country have kept the heart of their nations beating steady, quiet and strong. They mobilized so that the front line of battle could be held What of the women of the church of God? Can they not mobilize on this one day to petition God with prevailing power for the stren gthening of the moral fiber of the nation, for rhe relief of a bleeding world, for the redemption of a lost wcrid? As we hold the home base of prayer and service, the front lines in the battle of God's kingdom shall be held. Shall it be so? Council of Women For Home Missions.

Barker of the Salvationist forces, whom she sent to France over a year ago to es tablish hutment and general war relief work with the American troops. “We will do all we can to fill this demand," said Commander Booth wheu discussing the' approaching United War Work Campaign, "and the need itself should ' impress the American public all the more with the absolute necessity for sustaining and enlarging the war relief work .-.of the seven or ganizations, besides ■ the noble ;Bed Cross, now merged for a "drive for funds. Each Is a vital cog In a vast machine for human relief, and each is Indlspensible1 serving Its' particular elements In its own way. “The Salvation Anny was bom In hardship, reared In privation and trained to every phase of human mis ery and how to cope with it. -Perhaps that accounts In some degree for the surce.se our work has attained and for which we are thankful. "We are of the common people, and we toll on a practical basis. We leant* ed the lesson of how to do It In the Boer war, when we stood at the Mdo of Britain’s troops and weathered It out to the end. We have been tried by Are, and the mothers end fathers of America, as In other countries, trust the Salvation Army to do the thing they would like to do for their men it they but had the chance. •‘With 1,210 trained workers at tha front, operating from 420 hnts and dugouts, the Salvation Army Is doing, has done and will continue to do Its best for the cause of humanity and Liberty.1- “No Amerlcao May Refuse,” CardiDal Gibbons Says. James Cardinal Gibbons, ; the leading Catholic churchman- In America, has Issued a strong ap peal In support of the United War Work Campaign.“It Is an American campaign,” he said. “Its appeal Is one-that no American may refuse. : America’s answer will be another .'triumphant announcement that we' are In this war as one people and . as>one na tion to see it through : to.'victory. Into the splendid work of sustain ing the morale of our fighting men the great social organizations of America have thrown ' themselves. The American people will raise the sum they ask—generously and gladly." CATfiOLIG BOYS JOIN WAR WORK CAMPAIGN Girls, Too, Will Stand With Them Behind Every Fighter at the. Front CURE FOR BLUES NEAR THE CAMPS Community Service Takes Place of Mother, Friends and Home for Soldiers. To put behind every Cathollo fighter In France the support of one boy or girl In every parish throughout the United States is the plan of the Na tional Catliolic War Council for back ing the Victory Boys’ iuid Vlctoir Girls’ “Earn and Give” Division .of the United Work War Campaign to raise 5170,500,000 “for the boys over there’’ during the week of November U-18. Through diocesan, county and parish organizations, the rallying of; one youngster for every man who has gone to war In every community is already under way. By their own earnings, and not by contributions, it Is expect ed that these sturdy little sponsors for the boys abroad will each raise at least five dollars tor the joint wel fare work of the X. M. C. A., X. W. C. A., National Catholic War Coun cil, Including the Knights of Colum bus, War Camp Community Service, Jewish Welfare Board, American Li brary Association and Salvation Army. Boys and girls In every Catholic parish throughout the United States are already being picked to' represent each, fighting man who has left their clmrch for the front In every home that files a service flag little brothers and sisters, sons and daughters, are eagerly volunteering to. look out for the slwre of their family fighter in the huge joint welfare campaign for all the boys abroad. Ten young .officers of the Student Army Training Corps of the Universi ty of Detroit recently applied for a furnished house and a housekeeper who would not be a servant, but,' as one young officer expressed it,.- “the sort of woman to whom the boys can call out ’Hello, mother P when they j come In the front door.” >' Homesickness is the malady for which War Camp Community Service' supplies innumerable cures.

Editor of The Daily News. Y oa r editorial of Th O red ay , “The Opportunity for Heroism,” was a “sockdologer,” • I wish it might'lie read by every#pei30n' in the state, tor sure it!' would ■ tuake Eome people hang their harps on the .willows and sit down and weep for shame. I suppose that every, one who has tried to do anything to staj this awful pestilence that Las been taking such heavy toll, has found plenty of people, who have been tearing their nether garments and spilling scalding sobs because they could not cross the briny deep and display their worth amid! the din of battle, but now that disease and death hold high carnival all about tbf m, they are sore afraid. Patri ots who have been longing to tread the corpse strewn fields of Flanders and march in gory garmecte thro liquid fire in No Man’s Land have found the present pestilence Btrang Iy disconcerting, while preachers who have proclaimed-the grandeur1 of lowly service, have, in some in-, stances, beat it down the pike lest the OiaiadyaShould rush them into their eternal inheritance too soon There are plenty of people who are willing to do the grandstauu work. They will call' committees and organize, for t he fray and pro duce gold with which to get some one else to do the work. Many are williug to get in their big auto mobiles and go to find a nurse fur the suffering, but few are willing to go themselves and try to bring sunshine and cheer to darkened homes. It is small comfort to those that are sick for some one to ask at the front doOr about then needs and then run off to pray 1 tot them, when beds need to be ,made, food cooked, children quieted, and disquieted hearts calmed and cheered with the presence of sym pathetic neighbors. Of course there is more romance in wearir-g a uniform and minister ing to wuunded soldiers on- foreign soil than there is in entering a low Iy dwelling and keeping vigil ov er the bed of some ordinal y son ol toil, but the one service is as greai as the other. There is as much valor and patriotism in caring lot the grizzled old factory worker as there is in bandaging the head oi his soldier son in France, and' .a person who is not willing to do the one onght not to be allowed to do the other. Yes, the opportunity for heroism is great in every community now And the mau who goes into the midst- of it with heart and hand is braver than he that taketh a city, while the woman who -goes, with out ostentation, and fans the fever Irom wrinkled brows, and 60 ilsher hands with unkempt- kids, per lorms a service more glorious .far. than she who uurses heroes auu conquerors back to life. - KEdDfjR. “Lawing” PrayerSomethiog New.

White, and WiUiaui H. How ell. Lem Keller, Gepfge Srewa rt. Wm1. C. Lowery were killed in France, and the others died at the camps— all gave their live-- for the cause for which we are fighting, they all made the greatest of all sacrifices—gave all they had for a cause. I wish-1 could write some line that wonld comfort, the fat - era and mothers of these boys; wish I could say some word that would take out the sting and as suage the pain they are suffering for the loss of a sou but words are empty aud devoid of real comfort when we stand in the presence of death. Some one has said that ev- ery‘doud has a silvery lining, the darkness of every night is followed by the light of day—may we not hope that out of these dark days and troublous times a bright and glorious dawn awaits us all; may we not hope that the sufferings and the deaths of tb03e we love, may like seed sown, sprout up and pro- luce a bountiful crop of future good to an almost wrecked and ruined world? .If these sacrificed lives of our boys help to tear down the castles of the autocratic rulers ot an enslaved1 and oppressed pej pie, if they destroy the despots who now and in the recent past nave used human beings as tools and pawns for their own use and aggrandisement—they have not died in vaiu. If this old world is made a better place for the poor aud oppressed of all lands, and the -hackles of serfdom and ol caste are destroyed then their lives have not heen iu vain. Why it is I am unable to say or divine—but it. seems in the past history of the world that every gieat reform iu the, laws, out of which the poor and oppressed have gained more free dom and liberty, and opportunities for the uuisiiit ot happiness, and a chance to win a fair part of the iruits of their toil has had to come ihrough war and bloodshed. I dou’t know why, it may her that out of this the greatett war of the world—where more men have giv en their lives, and where billions of wealth have been speot and de stroyed—it may be that the leaven has started to work that will bring untold blessing to the suffering and oppressed people of the entire world—some how I can’t think thingR are ever going to be just as they were preceding ibis war. vVrongs that, have iougexisted, op pressions that had become almost unbearable are, may we not hope oe on the eve of adjustment for the final uplift and bettermeut of all the people. If the great wrongs are wrighfed that have so long ex isted; and the enslaved and oppres sed peoples of the whole civilized world are liberaied—our bojs have not died 'iu* vain although -they have made the supreme sacrifice.

Some voters, without taking time to think for themselves, might have been swayed bv an appeal that "a vote for Sim mons and Goodwin,” or a vote for John Brown and Bill Smith, as the case might be, “is a vote for an ear ly and glorious ending of the war,” but the man who has kept in toudh with these stirring times, who does his own reading and thinks for him self could hardly have been persua ded election day or the day before that the German emissaries enroute to the allied lines in search o/ an armistice and peace would stop be; tween Berlin and Versailles to learn how the election in America turned out and decide the issue of peace or war on that score. That type of cK tizen knew that the ending of the war would not be affected, nor the coming of peace interrupted, by the election either of a Democratic -*or Republican Congress. He knew that the real issues in the campaign’ were domestic rather than foreigij. The people have elected a RepuhT lican Congress’ but the war ‘‘beans; have not been spilled.” . It faukfc* like pe&ce by today or Sunday or Mondayat the latest rather than "peace by Christmas,” but the elect ion of a Republican Congress didn’t have anything to do with it. Peace would have come just as Sv>on, but not a whit sooner, had the Demo crats been returned to power.— Greensboro News. How Big Is Marshall Field’s. In figures, I insan.

Tou might suppose that Belgium has had something to do with win ning the war. - Yon might thinks that France lias been a factor in the struggle. You might believe th«t. Eugland, Caqada; Australia,, and other pur tidns of Great Britain had figured .somewhere in the fight. You might imagine that Servia was somewhere around when the war was on. You might dream that Italy, too, was there. You might have got the impres gion that Greece, Monienegro, Ja pan, Portugal, and a few other ua -tions had poured out some bloud and treasure in the work of bring ing the KaiBer to his knees. You might have it in your head that the hundred millions of Amer leans weie entitled to some credit; chat the fathers who have paid their taxes and bought Liberty bonds, and contributed to the Red Cross and kind-red war aceivities; that the mothers who have skim ped aud saved, aud worked, and given up their boys; that these had something to do with the case. You might believe that the three million meu who have been called Co the colors, the tens ot.thousands who have been wounded or killed in battle or died of disease while wearing the uniform, had borne sprn'e share in the war. Ycu might think that members of Oougress who have passed the legislation necessary to carry for ward the war after they had voted he declaration of war, were par ticipants in the contest. Bnt not so.

A UNIQUE VALEDICTORY. W G Cramer, editor of Burge.ts- town (Pa ) Call, because of the un heard-of prices for stock and mater ials and inability to get help, has de cided .to discontinue his paper. His valedictory is unique, to say the ieasi; ‘‘With this issue the Burgettsto vn Cell will pass out of existence Ye editor, weary of squatting in the lap of luxury, has decided to make the ‘supreme sacrifice’ and go to work. Ever since Charley Schwab and oth- ^r poor but loyal Americans laid money-making aside and started in on essential work we have felt that we were profiteering in slaying on here and roping in the shekels just., as in the ante-bellum days.

Every local Baptist church is a little reoublic within itself It mak es and executes its own laws, and administers dicipline without any in terference from any outside author ity. as it recogniz jS no such author ity. Thereisnosuchthingas “The Baptist Church” when bv that term the local churches of any given ter- titory are meant. For instance, it is not good Baptist terminology to say “The SouUern Baptist Church,” ir “The Northern -Baptist Church ” In speaking of such group of chur ches the term ‘‘denomination” is used. Thereisnosystem of eccle siastical courts with Baptists and, nence no appeal from the decisions of a local church It will be seen from the foregoing that the function of a Baptist Btate < Convention is purely advisory. It formulates no laws, executes 110 or ders. and trie3 no cases. It has no jurisdiction as to questions of doc trine. Ail these are matters that belong to the local church. If no action taken by the Conven tion is binding on the local churches, •iieqiiestionmaybe asked, ''Whv are the annual meetings held?” While the Convention has no author ity to enforce the observance of any recommendation it may make, there is a beautiful spirit of cooperation -tmoDg the Baptists which leads them Co work together with as much uni ty and harmony as do those dtnomi- oations which have their more com plex organizations. The denominational paper serves as a channel for expression of opin ion in regard to anv denominational policy that may be proposed. Ifany matter of unusual importance is to be introduced in the Convention, it is customary for. the brother who expects to introduce the measure to give notice of his purpose in the Re corded before the meeting of the Convention, and it is discussed in the columns of the paper. In this way unitv of action is usually se cured. If, however, a matter is pre sented to the Convention and dis •ussed. and it is seen that the Cbn- -’ent'on cannot act with a consider- tble degree of unanimity, a motion s usually made and adopted, which carries the question over for a vear. ‘hus giving time for mature con '!deration. When such action is . taken there is almost always a satis I $ factory agreement reached at the j * following session of the Convention. * Anotherthingwhichhelps to se-j *:♦ •ur.e concert of action is the spirit] * >f democracy which permeates the I -> body.

Some stock men still think that Swift & Company—-and other big packers—can pay as little for live-stock as they wish. Some consumers are still led to believe that the packers can charge as much for dressed meat as they wish. This is not true. These prices are fixed by a law of human nature as old as human nature itself—the law of supply and demand. W hen more people want meat than there is meat to be had, the scramble along the line to get it for them sends prices up. W hen there is more meat than there are people who want it, the scramble all along the line to get rid of it within a few days, while it is still fresh, sends prices down. W hen prices of meat go up, Swift & Company not only can pay the producer more, but has to pay him more, or some other packer will. Similarly, when prices recede all down the line Swift & Company cannot continue to pay the producer the same prices as before, and still remain in the packing business. All the packer can do is to keep the expense of turning stock into meat at a minimum, so that the consumer can get as much as possible for his money, and the producer as much as possible for his live-stock. Thanks to its splendid plants, modem methods, branch houses, car routes, fleet of refrigerator cars, experience' and organization, Swift Sc Company is able to pay. for live cattle 90 per cent of what it receives for beef and by-products, and to cover expense of production and distribution, as well as its profit- (a small fraction of a cent per pound), out of the other 10 per cent.

The opening day of the Western Xorth Carolina Methodist conference j at Trion Street Church, Charlotte, proved to be a busy and interesting one with the reports of the 11 presid ing elders, reports that showed grati fying progress in the work of the year; the election of a secretary, and of the conference committees; and the presentation to W. L. Sherrill of a gold headed cane in recognition of Uis 25 years of "service as conference secretary. Added to this was the rais ing of $1,300 for Payne' College, Au gusta, Ga., the presentation of the service flag witli 99 stars. The second day of the Methodist conference had been set apart as Cen- teuary day, and it proved to be from rlie standpoint of attendance, sustain ed interest, plans set on foot, and the enthusiastic assumption of a tremen dous task for itself, the greatest day in the history of the Western North Carolina conference. After a fnlj and frank discussion of the world's present needs at the close of the great war, and the unparalleled opportunities for much needed service in world redemp tion combined with the ability of the church to give, the conference by unanimous vote amid handclapping piedsed itself to the task of raising $1,750,000 tor this great centenary enterprise. Presentation of Service rlag. The conference just before adjourn ment entered into the exercises of unfurling a service flag which carried 99 stars that represented the sons of preachers of the conference who were enlisted in the service of the army and navy. The exercises consisted of a presentation speech by Albert Sher rill, a speech of acceptance by the secretary of the conference, singing of the naitional hymn by the con ference, and prayer by Bishop Kilgo, who has a son in the service. “The four gold stars represent those who made the supreme sacri fice.

E I S I D I S P E t t S l B L E i l l F I L L O U T : A small bottle of '4Danderine" OFFICE IS TOO POORLY PAID Rumors Rife of Political ■ Ambition May, ini Part, Explain Action of President’s Son-in-Law. Washington.—William Gibbs Mc- Addo, secretary of the treasury, di rector general of railroads, and often discussed as -one -.of the presidential possibilities of 1920, has resigned his office to return *to private business. President Wilson • has accepted his resignation. Mr. McAdoo will give up the treas ury portfolio as soon as a "successor has been selected. He wished to lay- down his work as director general of railroads by January I, but will re main -if the president has not then chosen a successor. Upon the new secretary of the treasury, whoever he may be, will de volve the task of financing the nation through the transition period of war to p'eace, which probably will include at least two more Liberty loans and possibly also a further revision of the system "of war taxation. Letters -between President Wilson and Mr. McAdoo, made public wtih the announcement of the resignation, give Mr. McAdoo’s reasons for leav ing the cabinet solely as a necessity for replenishing his personal fortune and express the president’s deep re gret at losing his son-in-law from his official family. TOTAL OF 59 SUBMARINES HAVE BEEN SURRENDERED Washington.—Reductions aggregat ing $500,000,000 in the yield from the •new war revenue bill were made by 'the senate finance committee In re vising the measure downward to the six billion dollar total for 1919, pro posed by Secretary McAdoo. The decrease was confined principally to -the tobacco, luxury, semi-luxury and other special and excise schedules.. Among the more important decisions were elimination of the luxury schedule proposed in the house bill levying 20 per cent on- costly articles of clothing and other merchandise and estimated to 'raise $184,795,000; elimination of -the house -tax .of two cents a gallon on gasoline; estimated to yeild $40,000,000; reduction from 10 to five per cent, or about $200,000,009 in revenue, In rates of many articles classed as semi-luxuries, and a re duction of about one-half in the house rates on tobacco, a cut of about $54,- OOO in revenue.

London.—Twenty more German sub marines were surrendered to Admiral TyrwhitL of Harwich. This makes a 1Iotal of 59 submarines thus far hand ed over.

POSTAL TELEGRAPH COMPANY CONTESTS GOVERNMENT ACTION New York.—The Postal Telegraph Cable Company will contest in court the. government seizure of its proper ties and proposed consolidation of its land lines with those of the Western Union Telegraph Company, Clarence H. McKay, president, announced. He declared taking over the cables by the government was “contrary to the letter as .well as th$ spirit of the law ” Discussion Preceding Conference by Allied Repreesntatives Are of Most Vital Importance. London.—The times prints a long leading editorial headed ' “President Wilson’s Visit to Europe.” After re ferring to political discussions now go ing on in America, the article con tinues: “These debates are on the domestic affairs of the American people. To. us. the President is the head not of. a party but of the people. Even df there is bias here to one or the other of the Amercian parties—^and there is not—it would not affect our attitude on the President of the American re public. Wilson has done incalculable sferviee for the allied cause in the war and his name is one to conjure with in Europe. “We are all idealists now in inter national affairs and look to him to help us realize these ideals—to recon struct out ot this welter a better and fairer world. “We hope party controversy will not prevent him from coming to Eu rope, for even more important than the actual conference are the discus sions by the allied representatives which must precede it. To these Wilson’s presence is not only desira ble but indispensable.” Girls! Try this! Doubles beauty of your hair in a few moments.

The records of the census bureau, where the list of manufacturing plants of the nation are kept, show that there has been a very great increase in the variety and number of factories and. mills of North Carolira In recent years. This is especially -true in the sections covered by the hydro-electric power plants of Charlotte and other industrial centers. Tt was predicted, years ago, when the waterpower development first commenced, that there would come wfth the harnessing of the falls of the Catawba and other rivers many small manufacturing plants that would ultimately make the state rich. The predictions have come true to date. In addition to the factories run by waterpower there are scores of others operated in the old way. An interesting fact about the devel opment in Catawba county—one of the most progressive counties ih the South—is that small factories there have begun to compete with the West for the work-glove trade. Three or four concerns are turning out thou sands of canvas gloves for workmen. Thanksgiving Proclam ation. By Ihe president of the United States of America. A proclamation: It has long been our custom to turn in the autumn of the year in praise and thanksgiving to Almighty God for His many blessings and mercies to us as a nation. This year we have special and moving cause to be grate ful and to rejoice. God has in His good pleasure given us peace. It has not come as a mere cessation of arms, a mere relief from the strain and tragedy of wax. It has come as a great triumph of right.. Complete vic tory has brought us, not peace alone, but the confident promise of a new day as well, in which justice shall re place force and jealous intrigue among the nations. Our gallant armies have participated in a triumph which is not marred or stained by any purpose of selfish aggression^ In a righteous cause they have won immortal glory and have nobly served their nation in serving mankind. God 'has indeed been gracious. We have cause for such rejoicing as revives and strength ens m us all the best traditions of our national history. A new day shines about us, in which our hearts take new courage and look forward with new hope to new and greater duties. While we render thanks for these duties, and divine mercy and other things, let us not forget to seek the divine guidance In the performance of forgiveness for all errors of act’ or . purpose, and pray that in all we do we I shall strengthen the ties of friendship and mutual respect upon which we j must assist to build the new structure I of peace and good will among the nations. • Wherefore, I, Woodrow Wilson, j President of the United States of Am- I erica, do hereby designate Thursday, the twenty-eighth day of November I next, as a day of thanksgiving and prayer, and invite the people through out the land to cease upon that day from -their ordinary occupations and •in their several homes and places of worship to render thanks to God, the ruler of nations.

A food conservation and war relief campaign December I that is expect ed to arouse the people of North Car olina and -bring to them a full con sciousness of the continued impor tance of food conservation and the activities of the food administration generally was planned and outlined at the conference of county food ad ministrators with the State food ad ministrator, Henry A. Page, and his staff, which ended here this morning. The fact was emphasized that with the coming of peace the demand for food for export has been increased in stead of decreased, the minimum ex- , pectations now being twenty million tons Instead of the eighteen million tons which would have been required if the war had been continued.. The starving peoples of Europe must be fed not only as a humanitarian duty but also as the most effective means of preserving civilization and civil government in those nations. Scheme of Taxation. Governor Bickett and his special legislative commission for proposing to the next legislature a scheme of taxation that will be most equitable and bear as nearly equal as possible on all the peoples and interests in the State, especially through suggesting amendments to the constitution, have been in conference here in preparation for something of the finishing touches for the report and pesommendations that are to go through the governor to iihe legislature when it meets.

Cotton Crop for 1918. According to the last ginning re port reaching Major W. A. Graham, commissioner of agriculture, giving production figures up to November S, North Carolina has produced this year 415,178 bales of the fleecy’ staple against 278.013 for las year. The in crease is about 50 per cent Robeson, as usual, leads the list of cotton producing counties iu the State with 37,000 bales, thirteen thousand ahead of its closest competitor, John ston. and 16.000 ahead of its near neighbor, Scotland. For Memorial Building. The proposal to erect a memorial building in honor of -the North Caro lina soldiers who fought and died in the world war met general endorse ment and everywhere were indications of the response which an appeal for funds will be met. This week, it is understood, the movement will take form with the appointment of a com mittee by the Governor to map out plans. No time is to be lost and Tan Heels returning from France will be greeted by the growing memorial of their valor. Verdict Against the City. Among -the 16 opinions filed by the Supreme Court, the court found no er ror in the judgment of damages against -the commissioners of Lexing ton for the death of J. C. Smith, an employe of a Chero Cola bottling plant. Smith was assisting in install ing machinery in -the bottling plant and was sitting on a large metal ma chine waiting for a change to be made in a gas tube. In getting down from the machine, he caught hold of an elec- trict socket and was killed instantly.

GERMANY SURRENDERS FLEET President Wilson Prepares to Leave for Europe to Take Part in the Peace Conference—Ukrainian Government Overthrown by Anti-Bplshevists. By EDWARD W. PICKARD. The triumphant march to the Rhine by the armies of tlie allies has been going on steadily all week. At last these brave troops move forward real y “with bands playing and banners flying,” and as they pass through the cit1 es, towns and hamlets of northern France and Belgium the people of those Places, released from years of barbarous slavery Io the IIuus, give them hysterical welcome I’rom holes where they had been hidden since the summer of 19X4 their national fla^s are brought forth to dccorate the buildings and streets and the turns left by the invaders, and everywhere homemade specimens of the Stars am Stripes fly with the other banners. The wild joy of the inhabitants is pathetic in the extreme, and especial ly in Alsaco and Lorraine, which is occupied by the Third American army together with the French under Gen eral Mangin. Those “lost provinces, now regained, have ever remained loyal at heart to France and they wel comed the Poilus and the doughboys with open arms. For Lorraine the great demonstra tion took place in Metz,, which was entered by Mangin’s army on Tuesday. That general was injured the day be fore when his horse fell, but Marshal Petain was there and, standing before the statue of Marshal Ney In the main square, reviewed the troops. Tlie in habitants had overturned the German statues in the city and made the place gay with the allied flags and with their own national costumes. Similar scenes were witnessed in Strassburg and other cities of Alsace. Near the Swiss border the French troops first reached the Rhine. . The American army of oeeupatiou, commanded by General Dickman, and about 250,000 strong, marched across the old German frontier into Lor raine and swung to the northward into Luxemburg, the marines on. Hs right passing into Belgium. In the grand duchy no less than elsewhere the Yankees were enthusiastically greeted. Their advance was made al ways with due caution, howSver, and the task of moving so large an army forward steadily and keeping up its supplies and communications was performed in perfect manner. Meanwhile the British and Belgian armies of occupation were keeping pace with their allies, advancing through Belgium close on the heels of the retiring Germans. —Ba— Every-where the victors found vast stores of. weapons and materials which the Huns left in accordance with the stipulations of the armistice, and in general it was said the Ger mans were carrying out the terms im posed on them. There was pillaging in some places, and occasionally a storehouse was blown up, but these instances were comparatively infre- ipicnt. The worst charge against the conquered foe related to the released allied prisoners. Many of these, usually sick and half starved, were merely turned loose to make their way to their friends as best they might. England sent to Berlin a stern protest against such violations of the armistice termsi The allied fleets have passed through the Dardanelles to the Black sea, and allied troops have been landed in Con stantinople and on the Gallipoli penin sula. In what was Austria-Hungary the process 'of occupation also goes on. French troops having entered Budapest. At sea tlie' surrender of the Ger mans was signalized last week by tlie turning over to the allies of tlie Ger man high seas fleet and many subma rines. Tiicse vessels were met by British warships and escorted Io port, the submarines to Harwich and tlie battleships and cruisers to the Firth of Forth. Tlie IIuns, who Jiave never shown good faith except under com pulsion, were watched with utmost care. They were sullen and chagrined but attempted no treachery. The ves sels they surrendered were dirty and stripped of nonessentials but other wise were in working condition. —Ra— Conditions in Germany still are chaotic and Premier Ebert is not hav ing his own way by any means. He decided thatthere should be a con stituent assembly as soon as the fran chise lists could be made out, but the soldiers’ and workmen’s council at Berlin’1 declined this, demanding In stead (he summoning of a general sol diers’ and workmen’s congress “in or der to make a decision as to the fu ture of Germany.” The extremists are in the great majority there and their strengtli is reported to be grow ing in many other German cities. The Socialist government is striving in various ways to bring to bear influ ences that may mitigate the rigors of the armistice and peace terms., Ap-. peals for food continue to come, from both Germany and Austria.. “If our stomachs are full we will behave much better,” cry the Huns. As a matter of fact, shiploads of food for hungry Europe already have been dispatched and the Germans are making agree ments by which they will be able to obtain food from Denmark, Argentina and other countries. What the United States can spare probably will not go to them, but to more deserving suf ferers, and even to Russia. Considerable stir was caused by the rumor that the former kaiser intends to return to Germany because his presence in Holland was embarrass ing the queen and government of the Dutch. AVillielmina weathered the crisis and the radical Dutch abandoned their attempt to force her to abdicate, but doubtless she would be glad to get rid of AA'illiam Hohenzollem. Germany might permit him to. return, though the danger of Ills becoming tlie cen ter of a reactionary movement is rec ognized. However, It is to be hoped the peace' treaty will settle the future of tlie deposed ruler so that he need never again be considered. Charles of Austria Is in better state than Wil liam, for, though lie is said to be in poverty in Vienna, neither his people nor the allies have any serious charges to make against him. — t e — President Wilson has ended the doubt as to his going to Europe by announcing that he will attend the opening of the peace conference, though' lie probably will not remain to preside over its sessions or take part in them. The entente govern ments seem to be pleased with this decision. The members of the Amer ican delegation had not been an nounced fihen this was written, but it was believed they would include for mer President Taft and perhaps Sec retary of Agriculture Houston, as well as Secretary of State Lansing and Colonel House. According to the AVashington cor respondents, the president will seek to influence the peace conference in five matters especially. These are: The creation of a league of nations to enforce peace. Au agreement to reduce military armaments. An agreement making freedom of the seas in war as In peace subject to regulation by tlie league of nations. A square deal for the German peo ple. Aid for Russia. Four of these the people probably will willingly leave to Mr. AVllson and the other diplomats to settle, but the fifth, “a square deal for the German people,” is calculated to arouse the apprehension of many millions of peo ple in America and the countries of the entente. . Even if they are not de manding revenge, they do demand that a square deal be given America-, Great Britain, France, Belgium, Italy and the other nations that fought the cen tral powers and whipped them, and that Germany and her fellow conspira tors get only what is left, if anything. The governments of the allied nations have kept from the knowledge of the people many facts concerning the war, and doubtless this lias been wise,' but Iliey could not il' they would conceal tlie part IIie German people as a whole Imve played. Every one of us knows Iliat the latter, .whatever their status or their politics, supported their gov ernment as long as it appeared to be winning, gloatingly approved all the crimes and outrages committed, and repudiated tlie leaders of the criminal conspiracy only when Ilieir failure was assured and it became necessary for llieni to look for some way of crawling out from under i lie wreck age. AVliy, then, should the president ot the United States or any other repre sentative of the powers that defeated Germany, feel it necessary to make a special plea for a square deal for the vanquished? Paraphrasing the old saying, what we demand for the Germans is plain justice, and d—d little of that. —Ea- Mr. AViIson is said to be especially concerned in the problem of estab lishing a stable government in Russia, and there is reason for his concern. That distracted country has bobbed up again in the news columns and the situation there is, if possible, more com plicated than. ever. The new all-Rus sian government that was established at Omsk and recognized 'by most of tlie anti-bolshevik elements is now in control of Admiral Alexander Kolchak. The council of ministers executed a coup d’etat and made Kolchak the vir tual dictator and commander of the all-llussian army and navy. He is called “supreme governor.” Several opposing ministers were imprisoned. AA7Iiat tlie course of the commissioners of the allied governments will be is not known. Along the Dvina Gie bolshevik! at tacked the allied forces and were re pulsed WiGi heavy losses. Since then they have contented themselves with shelling the Russo-allied positions from the gunboats, with which they are better supplied than their adver saries. An event that was very gratifying to AA'ashington and Gie entente cap itals was Gie overthrow'of the Ukrain ian' government and the capture of Kiev by anti-bolshevik troops from Astrakhan under General Denikine. This opens the way for the allies di rectly into the heart of Russia. AVhile they were being ousted at home, the Ukrainians were engaged in. continu ous fighting with the Poles in Galicia, where they had taken Lemberg, and in Bukowina, where they held Czerno- witz. There, as in the Ukraine, the Ukrainians were beiy-ad by German ofticers. ,No news has come from eastern Si beria, nor is much to be expected, since its dissemination is under the control of the Japanese. The recent lifting of Gie censorship does not seem to apply* to that region. —Pa— The government took two steps last week that aroused much comment and not a little protest. The first was an order making effective governmental control of all the marine cable sys tems of the. United States; and the second was the consolidation of the services of the AVestem Union and Postal Telegraph companies under governmental control. Postmaster General Burleson is in control. . —Pu— Congress adjourned on November 21 in order that tlie members might have a brief rest before the short ses sion 1 opens on December 2. The pres ident has planned that all important legislation shall be held up during his absence in Europe, the scheme being to have the vice president and speak er withhold their signatures' to bills passed: but considerable opposition to this plan is developing. Many leaders in cbngress contend that there is ur gent necessity for IegIsIhtion In the line of reconstruction, in which Amer ica already is being outstripped by European nations. — P a— President AVilson signed the food production stimulation bill witii the Jones rider, and consequently the Uifited States will be “bone dry” from June 30 next until the time when the demobilization of its fighting forces has been completed.

Prom this, first-aid post, after inocu lating me with antitetanus serum to prevent lockjaw, I was put into an am bulance and sent to a temporary hos pital behind the lines. To reach this hospital we Iiad to go along a road about five miles in length. This road was under shell fire, for now and then a flare would light up the sky—a tre mendous explosion—and then the road «eetned to tremble. We did not mind, though no doubt some of us wished that a shell would hit us. and end our misery. Personally, I was not particu lar. It was nothing but bump, jolt, rat tle, and bang. Several times the driver would turn around and give us a “Cheero, mates, we’ll soon be there—” fine fellows, those ambulance drivers, a lot of them go West, too. We gradually drew out of the fire rone aDd pulled up in front of an im mense dugout. Stretcher-bearers car ried me down a number of steps and placed me on a white table in a brightly lighted room. A sc-rgeant of the Royal Army -Med ical corps removed my bandages and tat off my tunic. Then tile doctor, wlia his sleeves, rolled up, took charge.

Nearly all had a grin on fi(«»r faces, except those who didh’t ESk- enough face left to griD with. I' trcmed with my right eye, the other wES bandaged. Stretcher-bearers came in and be- o carry the Tommies outside. You cofMi hear the chug of the engines in u‘a '-Vairing ambulances. - v.ax put into an ambulance with '*■' tubers and away we went for an fejKkseeinnile ride. , * was- on q bottom stretcher. The jmi right across from me was smashed 0P something horrible. night above me was a man from the jkysl Irish rifles, while across from vaH a Scotchman. We had gone about three miles when I heard the death-rattle in the throat of the man opposite. He had gone to rest across the Great Divide. I think at the time I envied him. The man of the Royal Irish rifles had had his left foot blown off, the joltiqg of the ambulance over the rough road had loosened up the band ages on his foot, and had started it bleeding again. This blood ran down the side of the stretcher and started dripping. I was lying on my back, too weak to move, and the dripping of this blood got me in my unbandaged right eye. I closed my eye and pretty soon could not open the lid; the blood had congealed and closed It, as if it were glued down. An English girl dressed in khaki was driving the ambulance, while beside her on the seat was a corporal of the R. A. M. C., They kept up a running conversation about Bliglity which al most wrecked my nerves; pretty soon, from the stretcher above me, the Irishman became aware of the fact that the bandage from his foot had be come loose; it must have pained him horribly, because he yelled in a loud voice: “If you don’t stop this bloody death wagon and fix this d bandage on my foot, I will get out and walk.” The girl on the seat turned around and in a sympathetic vdice asked, “Poor fellow, are you very badly wounded?” The Irishman, at this question, let out a howl of indignation and an swered, "Am I very badly wounded, what bloody cheek; no, I’m not wound ed, I’ve only been kicked by a canary bird.” The ambulance immediately stopped, and the corporal came to the rear and fixed him up, and also washed out my right eye. I was too weak to thank him, but it was a great relief. Then I must have become unconscious, be cause when I regained my senses, the ambulance was at a standstill, and my stretcher was being removed from it. It was night, lanterns were flashing here and tiicre, and I could see stretch er-bearers hurrying to and fro. Then I was carried into a hospital train. The Inside of this train looked like heaven to me, just pure white, and we met our first Red Cross nurses; we thought they were angels: And they were. Nice little soft bunks and clean, white sheets. A Red Cross nurse sat beside rue during the whole ride which lasted three hours. She was holding my wrist; I thought I bad made a bit, and tried to tell her how I got wounded, but she would put her .finger to her lips and say, “Yes, I know, but you mustn’t talk now, try to go to sleep, it’ll do you good, doctor’s orders.” Later on I learned that she was taking roy pulse every few minutes, as I was very weak from the loss of blood and they ex pected me to snuff it, but I didn’t. From the train we went into ambu lances for a short ride to the hospital ship Panama. Another palace and more angels. I "don’t remember the trip across the channel. I opened my eyes; I was being car ried on a stretcher through lanes of people,- some cheering, some waving flags, and others crying. The flags were Union Jacks, I was in Southampton. Blighty at last. My stretcher was strewn Avith flowers, cigarettes, and chocolates. Tears started to run down my cheek from my good eye. I like a booby was crying. Can you beat it?— Then into another hospital train, a Qve-hour ride to Paignton, another am bulance ride, and then I was carried into Munsey ward of the. American Women's War iiospital and put into a real bed.This real bed;was too much for my unstrung nerves and I fainted. When I came to, a pretty Red Cross nurse was bending over me, bathing my forehead with cold water, then she left and the ward orderly placed a screen around my bed, and gave me a much-needed bath and clean pajamas. Then the screen was removed and a bowl of steaming soup was given me. It tasted delicious.Before finishing my soup the nurse came back to ask me my name and number. She put this information down in a little book and. then asked: “Where do you come-from?” I an swered:“From the big town behind the Statue of Liberty;” upon hearing-this she started jumping np and down, clapping her hands, and calling out to three nurses across the ward:“Come here, girls—at last we have got a real live Yankee with us.” They came over and besieged me with questions, until the doctor ar-. yived. dpon learning that I was an American he- almost crushed my hand in his grip of welcome. They also were Americans, and were glad to see me. .TUe doctor very tenderly removed my bandages and told me. after view ing my wounds, that he would have In take me to the operating theater im mediately: Personally I didn’t care what was done with me. In a few minutes, four orderlies .who looked like undertakers dressed in white, brought a stretcher to my bed and placing me on it carried me out of the ward, across a courtyard to the operating room or “pictures,” as Tom my calls it. I don't remember having the anes- lhestie applied. When I came to I was again lying in a bed In Munsey ward. One of the nurses had draped a large American flag over the head of the bed, and clasped in my hand was a smaller flag, and it made me feel good ail over to again see the “Stars and Stripes.” At that time I wondered when the boys In' the trentbes would see the emblem of the “land of the free and the home of the brave” beside them, doing its bit In this great war of civi lization. My wounds were very painful, and several times at night I would dream that myriads of khaki-clothed figures would pass my bed and each would stop, bend over me, and whisper, “The. best of luck, mate.”Soaked with perspiration I would awake with a cry, and the night nurse would come over and hold my hand. Tliis awakening got to be a habit witli me until that particular nurse was transferred to another ward. In three weeks’ time, owing to Ibo careful treatment received, I was aide to sit up and get my bearings. Ouf ward contained seventy-five patients, 90 per cent of which were surgical cases. At the head of each bed hung a temperature chart and diagnosis sheet. Across this sheet would be written “G. S. WV or “S. VV.,” the for mer meaning gun sfiot wound and the latter shell wound. The “S. W.” pre dominated, especially among the Royal Field artillery and Royal engineers. About forty different regiments were represented, and many arguments en sued as to the respective fighting abil ity of each regiment The rivalry was wonderful. A Jock arguing with an Irishman, then a strong Cockney ac cent would butt in in favor of a London regiment. Before long a Welsh man, followed by a member of a York shire regiment, and, perhaps, a Cana dian intrude themselves and the argu ment waxes loud and furious. The patients in the beds start howling for them to settle their dispute outside and the ward is in an uproar. The head sister comes along and with a wave of the hand completely routs the doughty warriors and again silence reigns supreme. VVednqsday and Sunday of each week were visiting days and were looked forward to by the men, because they meant parcels containing fruit, sweets or fags. When a patient had a regular visitor, he was generally kept well supplied with these delicacies. Great jealousy is shown among the men as to their visitors and many word wars ensue_after the visitors leave. When a man is sent to a convales cent home, he generally turns over Ids steady visitor to the man in the next bed. Most visitors have autograph albums and bore Tommy to death by asking him to write the particulars of his wounding In same. Several Tommies try to duck this unpleasant job by tell ing the visitors that they cannot write, but this never phases the owner of the album; he or she, generally she, offers to write it for them and Tommy is stung into telling his experiences. The questions asked Tommy by visi tors would make a clever joke book to a military man. Some kindly loolting old lady will stop at your bed. and in a sympathetic voice qddress yon: “You poor boy, wounded by those terrible Germans. You must be suffering frightful pain. A bullet, did you say? Well, tell me, I have always wanted to know, did It hurt worse going in or coming out?” (TO BE CONTINUED.) VELOCITY QF BIG SHELLS Geometer Uses Problem of How Long Time Is Required for Stone to Fall to Center of Earth. Studying the velocity of shells and bullets fired in the war led Maurice Sauger, n French geometer, to turn to the old question of the time it would take a stone to fall to the center of the earth. Hi6 conclusion was that it would take abofrt 20 minutes 34 sec onds. Gasscnddi, who gave the subject much thought in the last century, made the time 20 minutes even. Mersenne on the other hand contended that six hours would be required.Sanger says that as the stone ap proached the center of the earth It would be drawn downward by the core of the earth and upward by the shell which it had already penetrated. The rate at which the density of the earth varies or increases as we penetrate to greater depths is unknown. Sauger’s formula is based upon considerations of the moment of inertia of the earth, as calculated from the precession of the equinoxes, which agree with ob servations on the density of the earth conducted In mine shafts. If a shaft were driven right through the earth the stone would appear at the. Antipodes after 38 minutes 30 seconds and then return to its starting point, at which it would make its reappear ance at the end of I hour 17 minutes. , Her Limit Bank Cashier—This check, madam, isn’t filled in.Madam—Isn’t what?
