NORTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY. JULY 10. 1918. con- con The Twelve Objectors. Conscientious objection to par- Hcipaiio" iu the killing of men on the Held of battle in war baa had gud cdctiuues to have some 6idcrati io iu America, but *• siuentious objection” only to fight­ ing against Germany and killing lisTtuiius iD this war for world jreedom is entirely a diffeieut pro ■position and will not be connte jiatieeil by army court martials, by [ secretary Baker, or, we may safe- IjVpresume1 by President Wilson. I In approving sentences of im I pjjsonweut imposed upon a dozen privates who refused military ser rice at Oamps Uptou and Gordon, Secretary Baker made it clear tbat men’s “consciences” are not to be allowed to select the nation against which they will fight. It seems that in the case of these yonng men, they had no religious scru­ ples against war in itself, they had uo conscieutiouB obiections to fight* I jng for ihe United States, if only America were at war with Mexico I or Great Britain, but when it came I to fighting agaiDst GrermaDy, of which couutry some of their rela- ! tives are citizens or subjects, and ; jirubaWy soldiers, their cousoienees would dot allow them to become American soldiers, lest on the I lieid of buttle a bullet fired by them I Uiigbt find a mark m the body of relative! Sacred conscience! [ Evidently tbe court martial had I go patience with stch a position I aud when tbe cases came up to I Secretary Baker he promptly and I properly held with the court. Iaciilentally the war Secretary I took occasion to express himself I with some suggestion of impatience I that men who had lived in Atner- Iicaall these years, enjoying the I protection ol the American flag, the Iieoefits of tbe free institutions of this country, nurtured and en- I corn-aged by the liberty and frae- I dom that the nation guarantees to I all its citizens—that these men I should refuse to light under that I flag, to preserve the liberty and I freedom it stands for, to maintain j democracy in the world for them I aud their fellows—all because they I Iwu relatives in the “ fatherland” I aud if they went with the American I armies to fis;ht in France they Jmigiithappeu to shoot some of j these kiiifeineu! Secretary " Baker I Mu[]liasized the absurdity of the j proposition that a man’s conscience 16’iould be allowed to pick out the I individual nation against whom be I shoahl fight and even the individ. I nil soldiers in a hostile army that I he siiould or should not shoot in I battle! These young men with I the keen and remarkably discrim.

A service or flag chart may ..be all right in the-church.' The stare on it, showing how many of its members are in the war. and to re­ mind tbe brethren when they meet to worship God and not them selves, that these boys need their prayers. The stars and stripes is t he flag of our civil governments, national and State. Hence, to place it in the church, it seems, would indi­ cate a “ union ot church and State,” which is un-American and unscrip- tural, as we were taught. The flag, now, means < war. To place it in the church mukeu the church a recruiting station to incite the spirit of war, and therefore, bloodshed aud death. The mission of the church in the world,, is to give life and peace. And that, too, under one banner only—tbat of the “ cross of Christ.” And that even, should not be displayed on tbe walls of the meeting house, but on the minds, hearts and lives of all loyal christiau men and wo­ men. However if it is necessary to con­ vert the church into a war recruit­ ing station for the tiiue being, why not decorate its pulpit with a can­ non, its overhead ceiljng with an airplane, aud its baptismal pool with a warship, and then ask God’s blessings' upon them! For, i/ He would bless one, He would gladly bless them all. AU human powers ' and organi­ zations of then and women com­ bined, cannot take the place of and do the work oi the church. For it requires a spiritual and noG a temporal kingdom—and not for any one section state or XnfttiQjif but for.the whole woihl. Peier belonged to and was a leader in tbe first Chi istian church. He thought he had tbe best excuse in the world to use it to jnstify war and bloodshed, but Ohrist told him to “ put away his sword.” Peter did it. and all down through the ages, tbe church has never practiced or fanned the flames ol war,' though a million of its mem­ bers have died at the stake, simply because of tbeir loyalry to Christ and the'doctribes of his church. The wicked'Gerniaus are using their religion and churches to arouse the spirit of patriotism and war against ns. But there may oe some excuse for them, based upon two reasons: first-, they have­ n’t the consolation we have and a regenerated church membership. Second, they are ignorant, don’t read the bible, aud hence, have no better sense.—Btirke County Times. And There. Was Light. Monroe Enquirer.

E. C. Bryant, writeR this lit tie story to the Charlotte Observer: A North Carolina negro went to Delaware to accept work in a .mu­ nition plant. He was to get thret- or four times what he received lV-r his labor at t ome. XTpou arriving at the office of the powder factory he was given a card lor the “ Ti N. T. division.” He asked a white acquaintance where tbe card said for him to go. • Go!” exclaimed white muu “ you had better be coming back froiii-there. Do you know what T. N. T. stands for?” “ No sir, boss I’se des come from Norf.Ca’liua, an’ dis bizoess is new to me:” said the negro. “ I des come to make de money; dat’s all.”- “ Well T. N.

The Presbyterian Standard figured tbat the increased 'cost of doing business has increased the cost of publishing that paper to $2 46 per year, and it announces an increase of subscription from $2 to $2 50. If the war continues very long" many newspapers will find it necessary-to either advance subscription rates or quit business. The idea' that the subscription price of a newspaper should not be changed, regardless of cost, is nonsense. But- fe v publishers have the courage to advance tbe price, simply because it has alwaj s been- the custom not to change. Every other business changes prices w ith-Ihe change .in the cost of doing liu-iuess. There is no reason why a newspaper should not do likewise.—Statesville Land­ mark. Chamberlain’s Tableis.

The town of Gooleemee was hos­ tess Thursday to the rest of Davie. Nearly 4,000 people were present to help celebrate the Glorious Fourth. To enumerate the many things of interest that took place would tax our space too much. The swimming, running and greasy pole contests were pulled off amid much applause, and. the two games of ball between Cooleemee and Uncle Sam’s boys from Camp Greene, was wit­ nessed by'a large and enthusiastic crowd of baseoall fans and fanna- beiles The home team defeated the visitors by a score of 9 to 5 in the first game and 3 to 0 in the af­ ternoon game. The patriotic ad­ dress bv Bishop Darlington has been very higtily complimented by . those who heard it. Several patriotic talks were made by the various preachers who were present. After the speaking a large American flag was unfurled and hoisted on a high flag pole while the Cooleemee band dispensed music. The band added much to the pleasures of the day. The boys know how to make music, am} the county is proud of them. Tnere was but one sad feature about the whole celebration and it is with reluctance that we mention it, but justice demands that we expose two of the meanest men in Davie county. Some of the good ladiss of the town had prepared a nice supply of good things for a crowd of orphans that it was thought would be present for the occasion, but Tom Caudell and J. R. Foster sneaked around and willfully devoured the said rations with malace toward all. When their meanness had been discot ered they owned up, but said that thev were both orphans and therefore felt justified in devouring the said edibles. The day passed off very pleasantly, and not an accident or an arrest for. disorderly conduct was made. We don’t know who enjoyed the day most, the children or the old folks. Supt. J. S. Stroud and General Man- ajer J. W. Zaeba'ry, two of the young folks, seemed to be having the biggest time of all. Several hundred MocksvilIe folks were down for the occasion. Here’s hoping that Cooleemee will have another such day next July. “W. S. S.” j. F. Ratledge Commits Suicide. Mr. J- F. Ratledge. who has been under treatment at the State Hosr pital for several years was brought home about ten days ago, as his con­ dition was thought to be very much improved. On Thursday afternoon while sitting on the porch with oth­ er members of his family, he got got up and after looking around a went in the house. Soon after goitie- in to the room a shot was heard, and Mr. Ratledge was found with a self- inflicted mortal wound. He had found a 22 calibre rifle : with which he shot himself. The funeral and burial services were conducted Sat- urday morning at 11 o'clock and the body was laid to rest at Hickory | Grove Methodist church. To the bereaved brothers and sisters. The Record extends sympathy in this trying hour. “W. S. S.” 1 O. R. Allen, a good farmer of the; Pino section of Davie countv, made1 a little more than 800 bushells o f. wheat this year.

Nearly everybody is tired of the war; and political speakings, we be-*! Iieve that most favors peace on rea-| sonable terms will win in the coming election. On the 30th of June a party of 35 or more made a mission' .visit to Mocksvilte, had an economical dinner with Mrs. Austin and Cora, spent some time in pleasant chat and so­ cial relations; and when they went for home they left some eight or ten dollars in cash money with them for their comfort. Sure somebody should look after their actual wants. OBSERVER. “W. S. S.” Judge Etchison Retires. Judge W. P.

SEClE ^ Tomb of Washington, P r :• dent VViison Say' America’s participation in This IVar Is Fruitage of What Our Fore­ fathers Planted. I HEARTENS STRICKEN RUSSIA. There Can Be But One Issue—The Set- tlement Must Be Final—There Can Be No Compromise—These Are the Ends for Which the Associated Peo­ ple of the World Are Fighting and Which Must Be'Conceded Them Be­ fore There Can Be Peace, Wnshiiigton.—President Wilson Tls- Steil the tomb of Washington at Mount ,eniou ou :he Fourth of. July and there delivered the following address: Gentlemen of the Diplomatic Corps and My Fellow Citizens—I am bappy to draw apart with you to this quiet place of old counsel In order to speak B little of the meaning of this day of our nation’s Independence. The place seems very still and remote. It Is as serene and untouched by the hurry of the world as it was in those great days Ions !iKO when General Washington mis here and held leisurely conference with the men who were to be associat­ ed with him In the creation of a na­ tion. From tnese gentle slopes they InoUeiI out upon the world and saw it wise'o. saw it with the light of the fu­ ture upon it, saw it with modern eyes that ltiriied away from a past which Tiifii of liberated spirits could no long­ er endure. It-is for that reason that we cannot feel, evert here, in the im­ mediate presence of this sacred tomb, that tliis is a place of death. It was a place of achievement. A great prom­ ise that was meant for all mankind was liore given plan and reality. The associations '*? which we are here sur­ rounded are the inspiriting associa tions of that noble death which is only a glorious consummation. From this green liillside we also ought to be able to see with comprehending eyes the world that lies about us and should conceive anew the purposes that must set men free. Acting for AU Mankind. It Is significant—significant of their own character and purpose and of the influences they were setting afoot— that Washington and his associates, like the barons • at Runnymede, spoke and acted, not. for a class, but for a people. It has been left for us to see to it that it shall be understood that they spoke and acted, not for a single people only, hut for all mankind. They were thinking; not of themselves and of the material interests which center­ ed in the little groups of landholders and merchants and men of affairs with whom they were accustomed to act, in Virginia and the colonies to the north end south of her. hut of a people which wislied to he done with classes and special interests and the authority of men whom they had not themselves chosen to rule over them. They en­ tertained no private purpose, desired no peculiar privilege. They were con­ sciously planning that men of every class should be free and America a place to which men out of every nation niighl resort who wished to share with them the rights and privileges of free men. And we take our cue from them, do we not? We intend what they in tended. We here in Ame;rica believe our participation in this present war to ■ he only the fruitage of what they planted. Our case differs from theirs only in this, that it is our inestimable privilege to concert with men out of every nation what shall make not only the liberties of America secure, but the liberties of every other people as well. We are happy in the thought that we are permitted to do what they would have done had they been in our place. There must now be settled once for all what was settled for America In the great age upon whose inspira tlon we draw today. This Is surely fitting place from which calmly to look out upon our task, that ,we may forti fy our spirits for its accomplishment, And this is the appropriate place from which to avow, alike to the friends who look on and to the friends with whom we have the happiness to be as­ sociated in action, the faith and pur pose with which we act. Unorganized and Helpless Russia. This, then, is our conception of the great struggle in which we are engag­ ed. The plot Is written plain upon every scene and every act of the su­preme tragedy. On the one hand stand the peoples of the world, not only tl peoples actually engaged, but man others also who suffer under mastei but cannot act; peoples of many races- and in every part of the world—the people of stricken Russia still, among the rest, though they are for the mo­ ment unorganized and helpless. Op posed to them, masters of many armies, Btand an isolated, friendless group of governments who speak no common purpose, but only selfish ambitions of their own by which none can profit but themselves and whose peoples are fuel In their hands; governments which fear their people and yet are for the time their sovereign lords, mak­ ing every choice for them and dispos­ ing of their llve3 and fortunes as the will as well as of the lives and f tunes of every people who fall under their power—governments clothed with the strange trappings and the primi­tive authority of an age that is alto­ gether alien and hostile to our own. The past and the present are In deadly grapple, and the peoples of the world are being done to death between them. There call be but one issue. The set­ tlement must be final. There can be no compromise. No halfway decision would be tolerable. No half way deci­ sion is conceivable. These are the ends for which the associated peoples of the world are' fighting and which must b'e conceded them before there can be peace: The Terms of Peaee. L The destruction of every arbitrary power anywhere that can separately, secretly and of its single choice dis­ turb the peace of the world, or. If It cannot be presently destioyed, at least its reduction to virtual impotence. H The settlement of every question, whether of territory, of soVereiguty, of economic arrangement or of politi­ cal relationship, upon the basis or the free acceptance of that settlement by the people immediately concerned, and not upon the basis of the material In­ terest or advantage of any other na­ tion or people which may desire a dif­ ferent settlement for the sake of its own exterior influence or mastery. In. The consent of all nations to be governed in their conduct towards «ach other by the same principles of honor and of respect for the common law of civilized society that govern the indi­vidual citizens of all modern states In their relations with.one another, to the end that ail promises and covenants may be sacredly observed, no private plots or conspiracies hatched, no selfish injuries wrought with Impunity and a mutual trust established upon the handsome foundation of a mutual re­ spect for right. IV. The establishment of an organi­ zation of peace which shall make It certain that the combined power of free nations will check every Invasion of right and serve to make peace and justice the more secure by affording a definite tribunal of opinion to which ail must submit and by which every international readjustment that can­ not be amicably agreed upon by the peoples directly concerned shall be sanctioned. Great Objects in One Sentence. These great objects can be put into single sentence. What we seek Is the reign of law, based upon the con­ sent of the governed and sustained by tte organized opinion of mankind. These great ends cannot be achiev­ ed by debating and seeking to recon­ cile and accommodate what statesmen may wish, with their projects for bal­ ances of power and of national oppor­ tunity. They, can be realized only by the determination of what the thinking peoples of the world desire, with their longing hope for justice and for social freedom and opportunity. I can fancy that the air of this place carries the accents of such principles with a peculiar kindness. Here were started forces which the great nation, against which they were primarily di­ rected at first regarded as a revolt against Its rightful authority, but which it has long since seen to have been a step In the liberation of its own people as well as of the people of the United States, and I-stand here now to speak—speak proudly and with confi­ dent hope—of the spread of this re­ volt, this liberation, to the great stage of the world itself! The blinded rulers of Prussia have roused forces they knew little of—forces which, once aroused, can never be crushed to earth again, for they have at their heart an inspiration and a purpose which are deathless and of the very stuff of tri­ umph I E THREATENED STRIKE OF TELEG­ RAPHERS POSTPONED BY PRESIDENT OF ORDER. 1115 STORM CENTER GERMANS REPULSED IN ATTEMPT TO RETAKE VILLAGE OF HAMEL AND WOODS. GHEEBFUILY REQUEST Decision Raises Load of Care From Mind of Officials and the ' Country. Operations In Lowlands Near MouU of PIave Are Progressing and Line Has Been Extended. Washington. — Indefinite postpone* ment of the strike of telegraphers em­ ployed by the Western Union Tela; graph Company was announced by Secretary of Labor Wilson. Sceretary Wilson said, that, Mr. Konenkamp, who. is in Chicago, had 'given him every assurance that the strike order would not be put into effect and that any walkout woudl be postponed indefinitely. It was under­ stood that the union president agreed to this course because Congress now is considering a new resolution au­ thorizing the President to take over and operate during the war all tele­ graph, telephone, cable and radio sys­ tems. In a final effort to avert the strike, Mr. Wilson sent Mr. Konenkamp a tel­ egram urging delay and later called In Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor. Mr. Wilson’s telegram to Mr. Konen- kamp said: “I earnestly request, in view of the general situation and the imperative necessity of avoiding interference with the prompt transmission of communi­ cations which may be of vital import­ ance in the prosecution of the war, that steps to prevent any strike be taken until I can have a conference with you and others. The Congress is now dealing with the subject and undoubtedly exact justice will be done all the parties at interest. This re quest is made in the interest of our country. I feel sure it will be heeded by you.” Mr. Gompers' telegram follows: "Secretary Wilson, of the depart­ ment of labor, invited me to confer with him In' regard to the threatened telegraphic - situation and he showed me the telegram he sent you. A strike of the telegraphers at this time and while there is a fair chance of an early, fair and honorable adjust­ ment, would be most unfortunate, and generally held to be unjustifiable and perhaps defeat its very objects.' To avoid any hindrance to our govern­ ment’s war program even In the slightest is my warrant to urge you to at once exercise your every power to postpone the strike for a time.” S.* J. Konenkamp sent the follow­ ing reply to Secretary of Labor Wil­ son: “Your telegram has been received and would say that the commercial telegraphers have been most anxious at all times to do everything within their power to avert a strike and your request under the circumstances you have mentioned will be cheerfully complied with.” “HAIL SHIPBUILDERS!” CRIES ARMY AT FRONT ON JULY 4 LAUNCHINGS. YANKEES CAPTURE MORE PRISONERS AT THIERRY Washington.—A cablegram received from General Pershing In reply to one sent by Chairman Hurley of the Ship­ ping Board said:“The launching of 100 ships on the Fourth of July is the most Inspiring news that has come to us. “All ranks of the army' In France send their congratulations and heart­ felt thanks to their patriotic brothers In the shipyards at home.“No more defiant answer could be given- to the enemy’s challenge. With such backing we cannot fail to win. All hail American shipbuilders I” Ships In June Break Records.

CONCISE CONDITIONS OF PEACE Relgn of Law Based Upon Right and the Organied Opinion of Mankind. The British front jeast of Amiens, on each side of the Avre and along the Somme river, seems to be the storm center of the battle front In France. Here the Australians, assisted by American detachments, surged for­ ward, on July 4 and drove the Germans out of the village of Hamel and the Valro and Hamel woods, to the south, at the same time launching a second­ ary attack on the German positions north of the Somme. Since-that time the ’ lines before Amiens have been very active. The Germans have been rspulsed In attempt to retake the village of Hamel and the wooded positions of the Aus­ tralians further south. The British official report says that the enemy was stopped easily but the Germans claim to have checked the BriUsh forces east of Hamel and to have thrown them back to their original lines at Vlllers-Bretonneux. With the exception of aerial com­ bats the American front has been calm. The German official statement tells of British attack In the Ypres region, adding that these assaults were re­ pulsed. Heavy artillery fire in this neighborhood reported from London, don. In the meantime the French have been content to hold and consolidate their new positions near Moulin-Sous- Totent and Autreches, northwest of Solssons, where in two recent French attacks the Germans suffered severe casualties and lost many prisoners. The French war office says that dar­ ing the ■ past day there has been heavy artillery firing in the neigh­ borhoods of Outry and Mont Gobert, which Is on the front southwest of Soissons, where the French won ground by a dashing attack last week. Italian forces operating in the low­ lands near the mouth of the Plave are making steady progress, accord­ ing to the statement issued by the war office today. In the mountain section of the front the statement says that the Italians have extended their lines at the head of Calcino val­ ley and have held the ground thus gained in spite of heavy counter-at- •tacks by the Austro-Hungarians.

DiSPATIiHES FHOM RALEIGH Doings ’ and Happenings That Mark the Progress of North Carolina Peo­ ple, Gathered' Around the State Capital.Raleigh. Spurred by greater conception of the necessity for saving foodstuffs from destruction by fire in these war times through the destruction of a quarter million dollars worth of food and feedstuffs and other property in the recent conflagration at Elizabeth City, business men. and others all through North Carolina are talcing extra precautions for preventing any repetition of the “Betsy City” disaster, the State Department of Insurance . furthering in every possible way this conservation work. Commissioner Young, who is fire marshal for the State, is directing at­ tention especially to importance of proper storage of foodstuffs in gro­ cery and feed store stocks, the separa­ tion of matches, hay and other in­ flammable or combustible materials from the main stock, to the extent of utilization of separate buildings wher­ ever possible. Inspectors sent out by the commissioner are co-operating with the grocers, millers and whole­ sale dealers in effort to reduce to a minimum such fire losses in this State. Constant and adequate precaution by each individual in the State is the goal sought in this conservation movement by the State Insurance De­ partment. Move to Catch Deserters. News comes through the North Can olina adjutant general’s department that there is “in the making” a con­ certed and country-wide movement with the federal and state military and civil authorities tw round up all de­ serters and delinquents for military service, that will assure the appre­ hension of practically every man in every state. to take his proper place for service under the draft laws. It is to be a nation-wide dragnet that it is said will have no loopholes of any soft. Every man of military age or who appears about that age will be investi­ gated wherever he is and required to show his status and put In line for draft. In this way wherever in the entire country a man of registration age for draft may have gone to evade the diaft, if he is on American soil he will be called to account and must show his standing. . In connection with the situation as to delinquents and deserters in this state it is an interesting fact that Wake county has 138 in comparison with the 30 or Ieee In Ashe county where such sensational conditions de­ veloped the past two weeks, it having been the blood shed in connection with attempts to arrest that put Ashe In the limelight.

Sams, specialist in bee­ keeping, is this week engaged in hold­ ing local meetings of beekeepers in the counties of Gaston, Lincoln, Burke and McDowell, and will then continue the trip into the counties of Madison, Buncombe, and, peThaps, Yancey. In view of the sugar shortage which will evidently continue serious for years, all beekeepers are advised to manage their hives for highest pro­ duction of honey, arfd also to increase the number of their colonies. At the same time, consumers are urged to use honey as a substitute for sugar. A careful and conservative calcula­ tion, based on certain known facts, in­ dicates the surprising fact that at least 2,000 tons of honey, the most healthful sweet known, went to waste in North Carolina in 1917. Looking Over Labor Situation. Dr. George J. Ramsey, of Raleigh, recently appointed director of the United States employment service In North Carolina wqs in Charlotte conferring with Director. V. J. Braw- Iey and looking over the labor situa­ tion there. Dr. Raansey conferred with. Secretary E. N. Farris of the chamber of commerce, and others with regard to the labor situation. There are three employment bureaus In the state and all are reported as doing much toward remedying labor, condi­ tions In North Carolina. New.. Director of Canning. C. D. Matthews, of the North Caro­ lina agricultural extension service, has been placed In charge of the campaign this season in this state for drying excess, fruits and vegetables that it is not found to be possible to can as they mature, and the co-oper­ ative extension service is devoting special attention to this work and spe­ cial attention will be devoted to the organization of community drying sordpment as well as to individual ap- • pllances for the proper drying and storing, of garden products One Hundred Per Cent American. Declaring that North Carolina is 106 per cent American, Mr. M. L. Ship­ man, commissioner of labor and print ing, speaking for this State before the convention of governmental labor offi­ cials of this United States and Canada in. session last week at Des Moines, Iowa, gave an interesting review of existing conditions in the State and stated that “every species of.slack- erism is being chased gway as the dewdrops flee from the approach of the morning sun.” “Capital and labor in North Caro­ lina” he said "continue on distinct­ ively friendly terms and labor disturb­ ances are rare occurrences In our commonwealth.” In referring to the labor laws, he stated that they are not adequate in North Carolina but that there is a hopeful tendency in the State towards the enactment of measures of relief for the wage-earn- ers and a careful nursing of the sen­ timent at present prevailing will most likely result in more advanced legis­ lation favorable to the working classes. “The most serious, problem with which our people are now confronted is found in the scascity of farm labor,' but vigorous action is being taken to enlist the co-operation of every citi­ zen of earning capacity in working and harvesting our crops. We are im­ pressing upon our people that at this crucial moment, when liberty and freedom are in the balance and the enemy is gambling to enslave man­ kind; where every ounce of food that can be produced is needed not only for our soldiers, but for the starving women and children of our noble Al­ lies, when ample crops are ripening in our flelds uncut; when the coming crop of corn and cotton is uniworked for lack of labor; when necessary indus­ trial and constructive’ enterprises are hampered for lack of help—that idle­ ness is a crime, and useless or inade­ quate employment of able-bodied per­ sons is scarcely less so.” Large N. C. Registration. North Carolina registered 16,248 young men In the class of June S, 1918, according to final registration figures by counties given out recently. Questionnaires to most of the new registrants have been mailed and the work of classifying them for military service will follow when the question­ naires have been returned. Gaston county, with 391, has the largest number of registrants who at­ tained their twenty-first birthday since June 5, 1917, and prior to the recent registration. The smallest number registered by any local board was 26 in New Hanover, but this number is exclusive of those registered in the city of Wilmington. Wake county board number one registered 322 and board number two, the Raleigh board, registered 128. Other New Charters.

NEWS REVIEW OF THE PAST WEEK Most Glorious Independence Day in History of the United States Celebrated. HUNDRED VESSELS LAUNCHED President Wilson Declares There Can Be No Compromise With the Foe— Secretary Baker's Heartening Statement — Confusing State of Affairs In Russia. By EDWARD W. PICKARD. With more than a million Americans in France fighting for the freedom of the world; with more than another million Americans In training for the same great contest; with the subma­ rine menace finally overcome, the “bridge across the Atlantic” completed and its maintenance assured by the tremendous amount of shipbuilding ac­ complished and underway; with quan­ tity and quality production of airplanes and artillery announced; with -huge crops In prospect, and finally with the nation solidly behind the government in its plans for the prosecution of the war to a victorious finish, the people of the United States very properly made the celebration of the Fourth of ‘ July the greatest celebration in the history of the country. No task so great and glorious ever before con­ fronted them, no mote lofty idealism ever inspired them to perform the task, never was their confidence In their power so absolute. With reason, too, was the'national holiday celebrated by the allies of America, and especially gratifying was the fact that tne day was made a na­tional holiday by many of the Latin- Amerlcan' republics for that indicates that the unreasonable jealousy and fear of the United States some of them have entertained is passing away. —lm— Though last Thursday was not so noisy as the old-time Fourths, there- was one most' glorious noise that, fig­ uratively speaking, must have been distinctly heard in Berlin and Vienna. That was the “grand, splash” when about one hundred vessels were launched at the various shipyards of the country. Between sunrise and sunset approximately half a’ million tons of dead weight shipping was add­ ed to the fleets that are defeating the submarine pirates, carrying our armies to France and transporting the food and munitions for them and our al­ lies. This greatest ship launching in all history was the most significant feature of the day’s celebrations. In the fiscal year just ended 1,622 new ships were numbered by the bu­ reau of navigation, their gross ton­ nage being 1,480,793. This was a rec­ord output and one-half of It was com­ pleted in the last four months. In the new fiscal year this record will be eclipsed, for many new shipyards are Just getting started. The loyalty and devotion of the shipyard workers were justly recognized by the government officials from the president down, and by the people, and the praise for their efforts is .shared by the railroad work­ ers,. without whose devoted co-opera­ tion the achievements of the vessel builders would not have been possible. • —>»—Beautifully dovetailing In with all this was the announcement by Sena­tor Swanson, chairman of the naval affairs committee, that with the co-op- eratlon of the American destroyers the allied naval forces have destroyed 65 per cent- of the submarines sent out by Germany, and that they are now de­ stroying the U-boats faster than they can be replaced. —Hi—' Secretary of War Baker’s detailed statement to the house committee on military affairs was made just in time to give added zest to the' celebration of the Fourth,' He said the American army now consisted of 160,400 officers and 2,010,000 enlisted men and that on July I practically a million of them were in France; that the death rate for disease among all troops in the United States was only 3.16 per thou­ sand; that the number of combat planes delivered to June 8 was 286, the production for .the week ending on tnat day being'80; that 5,315 training planes had been delivered to June 8, more than 2,000 Liberty engines, and 37,500 machine guns for use on air­ planes. Between the declaration of war and June I more than 1,300,000 rifles were produced and delivered and enough are now being received to equip a division every three days. Mr. Baker told many other encouraging facts, and enlarged on the wonderful work of the American engineers who enlarged port facilities and built rail­ roads In France for the landing and movement of American troops. — M l— If the central powers would know the unwavering determination of the people of the allied nations, they have but to read President Wilson’s Inde­ pendence day address at the tomb of Washington, in which it was voiced most eloquently. “There can be but one issue,” declared the president. “The settlement must be final. There can be no compromise. No halfway decision would be tolerable. No half­ way decision is conceivable.” He thus put our great objects in a single sen­ tence: “What we seek is the reign of law, based upon the consent of the gov­ erned and sustained by the organized opinion of mankind.” In less formal language, the Huns must be whipped to a frazzle, for until they are their rulers will not accept such a peace as the allies will grant, and the people of Germany and Austria, with too few ex­ ceptions, are like sheep. —1®^ In the absence of any great military operations on the French and Italian fronts last week attention was largely directed toward Russia. What shall be done to aid that distracted country is a problem still unsolved, and it is made more difficult by the lack of re­ liable information as to what Is going on there. The reports of the downfall of the bolsheviki and the re-establish­ ment of the monarchy with Grand Duke Nicholas as czar, which came through the always unreliable German sources of news, were given little credit, but it appears to be the truth that Grand Duke Michael is co-operat­ ing with the Czecho-Slovak forces In Siberia and that they are establishing their rule in that country. The Ukrain­ ian telegraph bureau at Kiev says Mi­ chael has been proclaimed czar and is marching toward Moscow. —I®— 'Washington received official reports confirming the news that the Czecho­ slovaks had whipped the bolsheviki ip a bloody battle at Vladivostok and taken over the administration of that port It may be they Will form the nuclens for" the gathering of the ele­ ments that have revolted against the bolsheviki and before long be recog­ nized by the allies as a stable govern­ ment and given aid. It Is now admit­ ted in Germany that the German and Austro-Hungarian war prisoners In Russia are fighting on the side of the bolsheviki. . Up in the province of Archangel, which extends across northerly Russia In Europe, there is new trouble brew­ ing. At Kola and along the railroad southward from that port are great stores of war supplies now guarded by American and allied .marines and blue­jackets, and moving toward that region is a large force of Germans and Finns. Submarines already are reported to be In the White sea. It may be-the allies will find it necessary to senu troops up there. Delegates from the Munnan and White sea coasts already have asked them for protection. The Swedish press says the kaiser has ordered the Finnish diet to intro­ duce monarchlal rule without delay, threatening that if it does not comply Germany will set up a military die1 tutorship. - . — **—Having discovered extensive move­ ments of troops and materials behind the German lines in the Chateau Thier­ ry region, indicating a coming attack, the. Americans stationed there took the initiative and, In the most important- operation they had thus far under­ taken by themselves, they captured the village, of Vaux and the Bois de la Roche, advancing their lines on a front of several kilometers and. occupying strong strategic positions. Previous to the attack the American artillery utterly demolished Vaux, and the as­ sault whieh followed was equally ef­ ficient and complete. The enemy lost heavily in killed and wounded and sev­ eral hundred prisoners and consider­ able. material were taken. AU next day the new American positions were subjected to heavy bombardment and then the Huns made a fierce counter­ attack, but did not regain a foot of the ground they had lost. The American machine guns and artillery mowed down the enemy in heaps, and our losses were comparatively slight. A complete American army corps of 220,, 000 men under command of Gen. Hunt­ er Liggett now holds the Chateau Thierry sector. —Ita-The French started off the week with an important advance between Sois- sons and Chateau Thierry, capturing a commanding ridge and other points that the Germans had organized as the jumping off place for their next attack. The British moved their line forward northwest of Albert, but after several counter-attacks they were compelled to withdraw to their former positions. On Independence .day. the Austral­ ians, assisted by some Americans, took the town of Hamel and neighboring woods, and the French cut through the enemy lines near Autreches. —Ita- Observers at the front, believed the Germans were about ready to launch another great-blow, perhaps the great­ est of all, despite their Terrific losses since the beginning of the offensive on March 21, estimated at 800,000. The opposing forces there are now nearly or quite equalized by those losses and the arrival of more Americans, and the allied commanders and troops have not the least doubt of the solidity of their lines of defense. —Ita- The Italians continued their bril-. Uant work last week, and the Austri- ans suffered accordingly. The latter were gathering their forces for new attacks In the mountain region, but General Diaz struck there first, and in a fierce battle won the formidable heights of Monte del Rosso,, Monte di Val Bella and the Col dl Chelo. These mountains on the northern edge of the Asiago plateau and just west of the Brenta river, are of great strategic im­ portance. Their capture put the Ital­ ians in the strongest possible position to meet the expected offensive, in which German troops were expected to take part. The Italians also kept up a continuous series of attacks on the enemy along the Piave, and on Wednesday they forced their way for­ ward across the partly flooded ground near the mouth of the river. —ta»— A characteristic piece of German brutality was the torpedoing of the Canadian hospital ship Llandovery Castle off the Irish coast. About 200 lives were lost, including medical corps men and nursing sisters. The commander of the submarine ques­ tioned officers of the steamship, con­ cerning American flying officers whom he mistakenly supposed to be on board. Berlin sought to evade responsibility for this new outrage by asserting that the ship was sunk by a British mine. It may be that the sinking of the Llandovery Castle will cause our war department to., abandon Its plan to send the hospital ship Comfort across without convoy or any attempt to avoid the enemy.. It is difficult to see how Secretary Baker can find any ex­ cuse for trusting to the decency and humanity of the Huns, for. they have repeatedly proved .that they are whol­ ly lacking in those qualities.. —Itai-'. V Holland has again aroused the Unit­ ed States and Great Britain, this tinie by making an agreement to- sell 50,000 tons of potatoes to Germany In ex­ change for the right to purchase 50,000 tons of German coal, In' Washington- and London it was more than intimat­ ed that unless Holland canceled this agreement the breadstuffs promised the Dutch- from America will not be provided. —Ita- The sultan of Turkey died on July 3, but this is unimportant for he was but the tool of the Young Turk party.

After a short experience as a recruiting officer In London, he is sent to train­ ing quarters in France, where he first hears the sound of big guns and makes the acquaintance of “cooties.”' After a brief period of training Empey’s company is sent into th& front-line trenches', where he takes his first turn on the fire step while the bullets whiz overhead. Empey learns, as comrade falls, that death lurks always in the trenches. ' CHAPTER VIII. The Little Wooden Cross; After remaining In rest billets for eight days, we received the unwelcome tidings that the next morning we would "go in”, to “take over.” A tsixinthe morning our march started and, after a long march down the dusty road, we again arrived at reserve billets! I was No. I in the leading set of fours. The man on my left was named "Pete Walling,” a cheery sort of fel­ low. He laughed and joked all the way on the march, buoying up my drooping spirits. I could not figure' out anything attractive In again occupying the front line, but Pete did not seem to mind, said it was all In a lifetime. My left heel was blistered from the rub­ bing of my heavy marching boot. Pete noticed that I was limping and offered to carry my rifle, but by this time I had learned the ethics of the march In the British army and courteously refused his offer. We had gotten half-way through the communication trench, Pete In my im­ mediate rear. He had his hand on my shoulder, as men in a communication trench have to do to keep In touch with each other. We had just climbed over a bashed-in part of the trench when- In our rear a man tripped oyer a loose signal wire, and let out an oath. As usual, Pete rushed to his help. To reach the fallen man he had to cross this bashed-in part. A bullet cracked In the air and I ducked. Then a moan from the rear. My heart stood still. I went back and Pete was lying on the. ground. By the aid of my flashlight I saw that he had his hand pressed to his right breast. The fingers were cov­ ered with blood. I flashed the light on his face and In its glow a grayish- blue color was stealing over his coun­ tenance. Pete looked up at me and said: “Well, Yank, they’ve done me In. I can feel myself going West” His voice was getting fainter and I had to kneel down to get his words. Then he gave me a message to write home to his mother and his sweetheart, and I, like a great big boob, cried like a baby. I was losing my first friend of the trenches. Word was passed to the rear for a stretcher. He died before it arrived. Two of us put the body on the stretcher and carried it to the nearest first-aid post, where the doctor took an official record of Pete’s name, num­ ber, rank and regiment from his Iden­ tity disk, this to be used in the cas­ ualty lists and notification to his family. We left Pete there, bnt it broke our hearts to do so. The doctor informed us that we could bury him the "next morning. That afternoon five of the boys of our section, myself Included, went to the, little ruined village in the rear and from the deserted gardens of the French chateaux gathered grass and flowers. From these we made a wreath. While the boys were making this wreath, I sat under a shot-scarred apple tree and carved out the follow­ ing verses on.a little wooden shield which we nailed on Pete’s cross. True to his God; true to Britain,Dolnx his duty to the last.Just one more name to he written On the Boll of Honor of heroes passed— Passed to their God, enshrined In elory, Entering life of eternal rest.One more chapter In England's story Ot her sons doing their best Rest, you soldier, mate so true.Never forgotten by us below;Know that we are thinking of you.Ere to our rest we are bidden to go. Next morning the whole section went over to say good-by to Pete, and laid him away to rest. , After each.one had a look at the face of the dead, a.corporal of the R. A. M. C. sewed up the remains in a blan­ ket Then placing two heavy ropes across the stretcher (to be used In low­ ering the body into the grave), we lift­ ed Pete onto, the stretcher, and rev­ erently covered him with a large union Jack, the flag he. had died for. The chaplain led the way, then came the officers of the section, followed by two of the men carrying a wreath. Im­ mediately after came poor.

To get to the cemetery, we had to pass through the little shell-destroyed village, where tropps were hurrying to' and fro. ' Aa the funeral procession ' passed these troops come to the "attention” and smartly saluted the dead. Poor Pete was receiving the only sa­ lute a private is entitled to “some­ where in France.” Now and again a shell from the Ger­ man lines would go whistling oyer the village to burst In our artillery lines In the rear. When we reached the cemetery we halted in front of an open grave, and laid the stretcher beside it. Forming a hollow square around the opening of the grave, the chaplain read the burial service. f German machine-gun bullets were “cracking” In the air above us, but Pete dldn|t mind,'and neither did we. When the body was lowered into the grave the flag having been removed, we clicked our heels together and came to the salute. I left before the grave -was filled In. I could not bear to see the dirt thrown on the blanket-covered face of my com­ rade. On the'western front there are no coffins, and you are lucky to get a blanket to protect you from the wet and the worms. Several of the sec­ tion stayed and decorated the grave with white stones. That night, in the light of a lonely candle in the machine gunner’s dugout of the front-line trench I wrote two letters. One to Pete’s mother, the other to his sweetheart While doing this I cursed the Prussian war god with all my heart, and I think that St Peter noted same. The machine gunners in the dugout were laughing and joking. To them Pete was unknown. Pretty soon, In the warmth of their merriment my blues disappeared. One soon forgets on the western front CHAPTER IX. Suicide Annex. I was in my first dugout and looked around curiously. Over the door of same was a little sign reading “Sui­ cide Annex.” .One of the boys told me that this particular front trench was called “Suicide Ditch.” Later on I learned that machine gunners and bombers are known as the “Suicide Club.” That dugout was muddy. The men slept In mud, washed in mud, ate mud, and dreamed mud. 'I had never before realized that so much discomfort and misery could be contained in those three Httle letters, M D D. The floor of -the dugout was an inch deep in water. Outside it was raining cats and dogs, and thin rivulets were trickling down the steps. From the air shaft Immediately above me came a drip, drip, drip. Suicide Annex was a hole eight feet wide, ten feet long and six feet high. It was about twenty feet below the fire trench; at leasf there were twenty steps leading down to it. These steps were- cut into the earth, but at that time were muddy, and slip­ pery. A man had to be very careful or else he would “shoot the chutes.” The air was foul, and you could cut the smoke from Tommy’s fags with a knife. It was cold... The walls and roof were supported with heavy kquare- cut timbers, while the entrance was strengthened with sandbags, Nails had been driven into these timbers. On each nail hung a miscellaneous assort­ ment of equipment. The Ughting ar­ rangements were superb—one candle In a reflector made from an ammuni­ tion tin. My teeth were chattering from toe cold, and toe drip from the airshaft did not help matters much. While I waS sitting bemoaning my fate and wishing for toe fireside at home, too fellow next to me, who was writing a letter, looked up and inno­ cently asked, “Say, Yank, how do youspell 'conflagration’?” -I looked at him in contempt and an­ swered that I did not know.BTom tho darkness In one of the cor­ ners came a thin, piping voice singing one of the’popular trench ditties en­ titled:"Pack up your Troubles In your Old Ktt Bag, and Smile, Smile, Smile.- BSvery now. and then the singer would stop to cough, cough, cough, but If was a good'illustration of Tommy’s cheerfulness under such conditions. A machine-gun effieer MMntI Iks dugout and gave me a hard look. 1\ sneaked past him, sliding and slipping; and reached my section of toe front­ line trench, where I was greeted by the sergeant, who asked me, “Where In ~— 'ave you been?” - I made no answer, but sat on.' the muddy fire step, shivering with the cold and with the rain beating In my face.' About half an hour later I teamed up with another fellow and went on guard with my head sticking over the top._ At ten o’clock I was relieved and resumed my sitting posl*. tionon the Are step. The rain sud­ denly stopped and nre all breathed a sigh of relief. We pfayed for the morn­ ing and the rum issue. CHAPTER X. “The Day’s Work.” I was fast learning that there is a regular routine about the work of toe trenches, although it is badly upset at times by the Germans. The real work m the fire trench commences at sundown.: Tomtny Is llke a burglar, he works at. night. Just as it begins to get" dark toe word “slend to” is passed from trav­ erse to traverse, and the men get busy. The first reliefl consisting of two men to a traverse, mount the fire step, one man looking oyer the top, while toe other sits at his feet, ready to carry messages or to inform toe pUjoon offi­ cer of any-report made by tte sentry as to his observations in No Man’s Land. The sentiy is not allowed to relax his watch for a second, If he is questioned from 'the trench or asked his orders, he replies without turning around or taking his eyes from the ex­ panse of dirt In front of him. The re­ mainder of the occupants of his trav­ erse either sit on toe fire step, with bayonets fixed, ready for any emer­ gency, or if lucky, and a dugout hap­ pens to be In the near vicinity of the traverse, and if the night is quiet, they are permitted to go to some and try and snatch a few winks of sleep. Little sleeping is done; generally the men sit around, smoking fags and seeing’who can teU the biggest lie. Some of them, perhaps with their feet In water, would write home sympathizing with the Dress for Informal Wedding L - 's Gun in Action. “governor” because he' was laid' Uf with a cold, contracted by getting his feet wet on his way to work in Wool­ wich arsenal. If a man should manage to doze off, likely as not he would wake with a start as toe clammy, cold feet of a rat passed over his face, or the next relief stepped on his stomach while stnmbling.on their way to relieve the sentries in the trench. Just try to sleep with a belt fuU of ammunition around you, yout rifle bolt biting into your ribs, intrenching tool handle sticking into the small of youi back, with a tin hat for a pillow and feeling very damp and cold, with “cooties” boring for oil in your arm­ pits, the air foul from the stench of grimy human bodies and. smoke from a juicy pipe being whiffed into your nos­ trils, then you will not wonder why Tommy occasionally takes a turn In the trench for a rest. • ■ While in a front-line trench orders forbid Tommy from removing bis boots, puttees, clothing or equipment The “cooties” take advantage of this order and mobilize (heir forces; and Tommy swears vengeance on them and mutters to himself, “Just wait until I hit rest billets and am able to get myi own back." Just before daylight the men “turn to” and tumble out of the dugouts.'man the fire step until it gets light, or the welcome order “stand down” is given. Sometimes before “stand down” is or­ dered, toe command “five rounds rap­ id” is passed along toe txenCb. This means that each man must rest, his rifle -on the top and fire as rapidly as possible five shots aimed toward the German trenches, anrt then duck (with the emphasis on the ’-duck”). There is a great rivalry .between the'Opposing forces to get their Japid fire all off first, because the early bird, ln thls In­ stance, catches the worm—sort of gets the jump on the other fellow, catching him Unawares. Empey goes “over the top” for the first time and has - a hand- to-hand fight with a giant Prus­ sian. In the next installment he tells the story of this thrilling, charge., (TO BE CONTUrasUL) Brides who. feel that war times, or other reasons, demand a simple wed­ ding, with only one or two attendants, may still wish to be married in bridal white. The summer gives them splen­ did opportunities to indulge this de­ sire. All the delicate, sheer, white fab­ rics for frocks—organdie, batiste and georgette—are at their command for beautiful gowns, and there are ma- lines, georgette, organdie and neapoli- tan, or hair braids, from which to choose liats. The addition of a veil to these big picture liats for midsummer fits them for the wedding ceremony, and when it Is taken off their useful­ ness for the honeymoon begins. Just, how successful the summer bride may be. If she elects to content herself with a simple wedding dress of white sheer goods instead of satin, and 'a delicate and beautiful hat in­stead of a veil, Is shown by the bridal costume pictured above. Here a gown of fine embroidered batiste is as fine­ grained as the richest of materials and its usefulness only begins with the wedding; The hat is of georgette crepe, with stitches in heavy em­ broidery silk, relieving the plainness of the crown. The brim edge is soft­ened by a border of the crepe falling about it. The most delicate of white roses are set between two sprays of white satin wheat that reflects the heart of summer, and a white georg­ ette veil bangs from the back to three- quarters of the length of the figure. This would be as perfect for an out­ door wedding as it is for church or home. The refinement of all-white makes it a cherished privilege, dear to the heart of brides. Next to it for good style at a simple wedding comes the beautifully made tailored suit In which the bride goes away. / Luncheon Favors. Cute favors for a luncheon are Uttle hats made of silk or ribbon. The brims are old-fashioned round pin pads and the crowns small stuffed pincushions fastened to them. Make them to har­ monize with the color scheme of the luncheon, trim with tiny ribbon roses, and put a row of colored pins around the edge. Novelties in New Sweaters f t ih >, K (ih ifi’ftSi I* i I ■ An all-American idea has been taken up and is being exploited by the manu­ facturers'of high-elass sweaters. It is the introduction of decorations that look like and are inspired by the bead- work and other ornamental work done by American Indians on their gar­ ments. It is odd that this source of inspiration has not been more freely used, because It belongs to our own country and is distinctive and* pic­ turesque. Anyone having a poor opinion of the ornamental beudworl; and . feather-, work' done by the Indians will gain re­ spect for fhem by locking into the mat­ ter. In museums there are collections of their headdresses find garments that are surprising. They have lav­ ished pptient work on them and their designing and color work are worth studying. One of those new sweaters that carry the Imagination back to the days of the pioneers is shown at the left of the picture;. Instead of being made of fine doeskin, slashed into a fringe at the bottom, it Is of oyster-white silk, with a deep fringe of silk about the bottom. It is a square-necked, long­ shouldered slipover, with. the arrns- eye artfully shaped and finished, and there are no. sleeves. About the neck and down the front what appears at first glance to be a pattern wrought in colored beads is a machine .embroidery of small loops or knots. The girdle is of the same silk us the sweater and terminates • In fringe. •Theso lovely new sweaters for “Is ,elle si-vage” are made In several col­ ors and their decoration is varied In as many ways as original Indian de­ signs allow them to be. TlleJ ought to appeal to Young America, and it is easy to believe that Pocahontas made n creditable appearance at court if she wore a bead-trimmed doeskin garment fashioned on the same lines. A quiet sweater coat of silk jersey at the right of the picture lacks the audacity of its rival, but makes up for that in elegance.. It is entirely plain and made shapely by shirrings across the back and a wide belt across the front, and will appeal to older women as well as to young wearers. Defeat the Moths. A good way to protect suits from tht moths is to secure them in pasteboard boxes such as you can buy from the j tailor or the tailor’s supply store. The [ suits should- be packed away In these I boxes before moths begin to fly and then every open crack should be pasted together by means of strips of gummed paper, such as can be bought In rolls . for a very small price. - The tailor boxes may be kept on hand from year to year for this purpose. Rivals Draped Effect. A gathered waistline, marked by a narrow cord or girdle Is a rival to the draped effects. - White silk jersey is first choice foi bathing suits. , “BEST MEDICINE FOI WOMEN” Whal Lydia E.

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT EASILY RECOGNIZED Applicants for Insurance Often Rejected An examining physician for one of the prominent life insurance companies, in an interview of the subject, made the as­tonishing statement that one ,reason why so many applicants for insurance are re­jected is because kidney trouble is so com­mon to the American.people, and the large majority of those whose applications are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease. Judging from reports from druggists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very successful m overcoming these conditions. The mild and healing influence of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its remarkable record of success.

The number of hens needed for that purpose Is twice the number of persons to be supplied. Hence, the smallest flock to be considered consists of four hens.. When hens are kept only to furnish eggs for the table no male bird is needed. A coop for a flock-'of four hens should have a floor area of about 20 square feet, or about five feet per hen. For larger flocks the srlace al­ lowed per bird may be a little less, be­cause the space Is used in common, and each bird has the use of all the coop except what her companions actu­ ally occupy. For the ordinary flock of 10 to 15 hens, the space allowed should be about four rquare feet per hen.

IN CAR LQTS Average Losses of Prom 3 to 9 Per Cent Can Be Greatly Reduced by Proper Packing. (Prepared by the United States Depart­ment Ot Agriculture.) The amount of damage sustained In . marketing eggs. In car-load shipments which, according to various reliable j authorities, averages from 3 to 9 per cent, has been reduced to less than I per cent In tests conducted by the Unit­ ed States department of agriculture, covering a period of more than- two' years and In which the eggs were ship­ ped on an average of 1,200 miles. By following good, commercially prac­ ticable methods of packing, storing, I and hauling, eggs can be transported In-car-load lots with a total damage, including “checks,” “dents” and “leak­ ers,” of less than 2 per cent I In order to reduce egg losses to the minimum they should be packed In new. standard cases symmetrically made with S, or preferably 6,3-penny cement- coated nails at each corner of the sides ; and bottom and at the center partition, j Cases made of cottonwood have, on the' i whole, the greatest number of advan­ tages. Medium fillers (three pounds, three ounce?) or heavier should be j used. It Is absolutely, necessary, also, that the filler be perfectly new. Even a short-haul shipment into the packing house should disqualify the filler for further, use. ' Suitable cushions of ex* celslor, with a flat, should be placed on the top and bottom of the case. I Corrugated board on the top of the case affords practically the pome protection as the excelsior cushion, provided it takes np the slack. | The load of eggs must be a solid unit In the car, fitting without play, ails Is the most Important factor In avoid* Ing damage In transit. The amount of damage In properly loaded cars buffed with straw Is slightly less than In the same cars buffed with wood. In plac­ ing the buffing, care should be taken not to permit it to prevent circulation of air, which Is essential to. good re­ frigeration. When the straw buffing Is placed at the bunkers and extends from the top of the load to'the floor of the car, It is found that at least 50 per cent of the refrigeration ls lost Self bracing of the load by means of suitable strips placed below Uie cases proved niuch more satisfactory than braces, nailed to the car. Nailed braces seldom arrive In place and fre­ quently cause much damage. Selected Breeding Fowls.

The chicken has three legs and four feet, two of the feet are oii the left leg, and the extra leg is just behind the left leg. That is the kind of chickens to raise— three drum sticks to every chicken. The ladies of Davie county are given a great opportunity to pur chase their waists, skirts, remnants, bleachings, hosiery, etc , at a great saving this week at Elird’s big de­ partment store, Winston Salem. Read their big ad which appears in today’s paper. The editor spent a short while in Hickory and Morganton last week, and while in those lively towns met many old friends and acquaintances. It was our pleasure while in Morgan- ton to spend a short while in the News Herald office. A little more than sixteen years ago we were sticking type on that paper, which was edited by the late T. G. Cobb. The News-Herald is now under the able management of Miss Beatrice Cobb, a daughter of the late editor and owner, and is a newsy and up- to date paper. Sorry we could not remain longer in the mountain city. “W. S. S.” , To Local Merchants. County Food Administrator A. T. Grant Jr., is anxious that no dealers in sugar or hotel, restaurant, boarding bouse, hos­ pital or other institution shall find them­ selves in such position after July 15th that they cannot purchase sugar. "The order is perfectly clear," stated Mr. Grant to the Editor. "No dealer in or user of sugar can pur­ chase sugar since July I except house­ hold consumers. AU retail dealers, hotels, restaurants, boarding houses, hospitals, county homes and other institutions are included in this list. AU of these should write without delay to the Sugar Division of the Food Admin, istration at Raleigh stating the nature of their business and asking for proper blank forms upon which to file their statements. When these statements have been made out and returned to Raleigh, the Sugar Division will send certificates for the sugar requirements of each firm or insti tution.“The attention of aU dealers in sugar is called to the requirement that all deal­ ers must keep an absolute accurate re­ cord of"the names of purchasers and of sales and quantities of sugar and are fur­ther reminded that the maximum .quan tities of five pounds to the country house­ hold and two pounds to the city house­hold must be rigidly observed.“Sugar dealers are requited to sell sugar only to their regular customers and to confine such customers, even their regular customers, to a minimum not exceeding three pounds per person per month. The two pounds is not an arbitrary allotment for a week or any other • period because the size of families vary.

Walter Hopkins, of Salisbury, was drowned in the South Yadkin River, near the steel bridge, on July 4th. The young man was in swimming with a bunch of friends, when he got into deep water and lost control of himself His friends dived and brought him to shore, but life was extinct. “W. S. S.” Prepare For More And Better Crops Next Year. The time is here when every farmer should be planning for his next year’s crop, and I want to call the attention of every one to the importance of sowing several acres in a green manure crop. Among the plants that I would suggest for this purpose are crimson clover, bur clover, vetch and rye. These crops niay be used alone or mixed for purely manure crops, or they may be used in combina­ tion with each other or with the grains for grazing and hay crops. Many acres of our poor land should be sown to rye in late August or early September as a cover crop, and the same will furnish good grazing for hogs, sheep and cattle most of the winter and until late spring, or it may be turned under as a manure crop. Many of. the farmers have been too slow in realizing the great importance of these winter cover crops. It is true that the wheat crop is far short of what we expected in the early spring, whether conditions being favorable to the Hessian fly has done its work, and he being of German descent, has become a pest that wetshall have to fight as best we can. Many .are coming forward with suggestions for his extermination, such as burning the stubbie, but this is entirely unpractical, as the wind has blown him over- the fields and roads into every corner where he may harbor and be ready again when another crop is sown. The only precaution that I would suggest is that to turn all stubble laud as early as possible and then keep the land free from weeds and grass by continual harrowing and disking, and be sure that the field is free from anything green several days before seeding is done, and then if possible put in seed when there is plenty of moisture in the land to insure rapid germination of seed and rapid growth. Disappoint ments will come to all of us and we are ail disappointed in the wheat crop this year, but we should not be discouraged, for the same conditions are riot likely to exist next year and it would be a calam­ ity if we were to relax our efforts at this time. Let every acre be planted to wheat that can be well prepared aod seeded in good time; I want to see more of the farmers stand by Red Clover sown this fail. By all means should every farmer sow clover. Those that can should by all means thresh their clover and save their seed for they are scarce and will be high this’ fall, and this expense can be very’ ma­ terially avoided by saying the seed from our own fields. ' • To insure a good uniform stand of clover many should use two or more tons of lime per acre before seeding to clover. Farmers could easily club together and order a car-of lime if no one‘should be able to handle as much as a car, and in this way be of help to each other and thereby get the lime at wholesale prices. of ,the South'Yadkin Association will convene with the first cnurch in Salisbury, Julv 17th and 18th.

Frank Stroud, the popular editor of The Record was in town last Tuesday looking after the interest of his paper. The past week has been a great week for the county's metropolis, as the fourth was celebrated in big fashion and the Methodist Dis'rict Conference met here. Houston Byerly made a business trip to the Capitol of Davie last Friday. Some seem to think he had gone after his Ii cense—auto license we suppose. The fourth of July celebration was a great success in the loom and spindle town. AU business was closed for the day, and the bum of the spindles quieted down and everybody turned out for a day of pleasure and recreation People from Mocksville and other towns were present in large numbers, and all seemed to en- joy the occasion to the fullest extent. The Cooleemee Concert Band made I trip to Mocksville a few days ago and gave a free concert to people of that town. The two best ball games of the season were played last Thursday, when the lo­ cal team defeated the military team from Camp Greene in a double header. One of the games being a shut-out.

Page has announced new restrictions to govern all sales of sug­ ar by wholesalers and • retailers and at the same time calls upon sugar con­ sumers in North Carolina to econo­ mize and save the utmost ounce of sugar through reduced consumption in the home and through the elimina­ tion of soft drinks, candy and other less essential or non-essential prod­ ucts. Beginning today, all dealers are forbidden to sell more than two pounds to a town or city consumer or more than five pounds to f a country consumer and not more than 25 lbs. can be sold at one time to individuals for canning and preserving purposes under the certicate plan announced some weeks ago by the Food Admin­ istration. If a larger quanity is re­ quired at one time it may be purchas­ ed upon the- approval of the County Food Administration. Every dealer is required to keep an absolutely accurate record of all sales of sugar, this record to include the date of sale, name of purchaser, quantity sold and price. TheBe records will be examined periodically by the Food Aministration inspectors who will be put in the field in the imme­ diate future.Mr. Page states frankly that the sugar situation is serious. “It is ex­ tremely important that there shall be no curtailment in the quantity of pre- j serves, jam, and canned fruits manu- | factured during the present season,” declared Mr. Page, "and if sugar is to be plentiful and ample for preserv­ ing and canning purposes there must be marked conservation not only by commercial users who produce less essential products such as soft drinks, candy, etc., but also upon the part of the individual consumers. It is the patriotic duty of every American citi­ zen to consume less of the products of fountains and candy shops under the present conditions. “It isthe duty of every man, woman and child in the United States to use a minimum of sugar for tea, coffee, cereals, cakes and other edibles. "The individual who uses snore sugar than is necesary for any pur­ pose and who leaves unused sugiar In the bottom of their coffee cups or iced tea glasses, is a slacker and a near ally of the Kaiser. Less Essentials Must Go. “The American nation is stripping to the waist for this fight and non- essential industries must go by the board. It has not been necessary until' this time to curtail our use of sugar to the extent that is now re­ quested. It is necessary new and our- people must realize that, just as In the case of wheat and meat, they must save until it hurts. . The Food Admin­ istration doesn’t want any one to do without creals, coffee, tea, etc., and especially it doesn’t want children end invalids deprived of the amount' of sugar necessary in their food for their proper growth and development but it does want and it will expect fvery patriotic adult to confine their use of sugar to not exceeding three pounds per month at the very most. This is the measure of corjjiervation and these three pounds a month should include any candy, acett drinks, etc., that are used.” THE ENEM IES’ FIRE DO ES NOT STOP THE mY1 FfilERS ME OIOEO TC SiE ALL Will PKSiBLE Raleigh.—State Food AJiminisbrator Henry A.

The immediate response would naturally be baseball. However, this is not correct, according to the latest statistical report com­ piled by R. C. Cubbon, Army Y. M. C. A. physical director for the southeast era division, aided by the the 126 phys­ ical directors in the camps. Their fig­ ures of the number of games played and the number of men participating show that volley ball-is the most pop­ ular of all sports. There was a time when baseball was the most popular sport in the camps, and In the month of March it was three times as popular as any other game, but in the following month the newly introduced game of volley ball was taken by the soldiers with the greatest of enthusiasm and the report of the physical directors in the camps of the southeastern department show that,.commencing.with the month’of April, volley ball has easily held first place as the most popular sport with the soldiers. This is very easily understood when it is explained that volley ball can be played in a very small space about the size of a tennis court. The sol­ diers with little practice can become quite expert in the game. Another fea­ ture is that all of the players on both sides are playing the entire time, (no bench warming) and the games do not last nearly so long as baseball, in fact not much longer than the average baseball inning. The only equipment needed for this game is one ball and one netPlayground baseball is another game that is making a great hit with the soldiers and now ranks fourth in pop­ ularity. This game also can be play­ ed in a small space, the distances be­tween bases being only thirty feet In this game a large, soft hall is used and the pitcher is required to use the underhand throw. All the skill of the parent ganie of baseball is required for playground ball and the playing has all the thrills and tense moments that is to be had In the national past­time. As an entertainer boxing is very much in the limelight in the camps and like baseball has an immense fol­lowing of devotees. Providing games of entertainment is of no small import­ance in the camps as it is shown in the physical director's report that 905,375 spectators were in attendance at 143,- 348 games in which 662,056 soldiers participated in Y. M. C. A. games. W HAT THE VICTORY OR DEFEAT OF G E R W MEANS TO EVERY AM ERICAN (Contributed by ALBERT PAYSON IERHUNE, author and globe-trotter, to the National Security League's campaign .of Patriotism Through Edu­ cation.) j Germany’s victory would mean all that the alarmists have said—the set­ back of humanity, democracy, civiliza­ tion, rights of man, etc. But, to Amer­ ica, it would mean infinitely more. It would mean our first national de­ feat; and, thus, would smash our per­ fect record for victories—a record as old as our nation—a record that means more than the right to brag. Even as a beaten army never wholly regains its old form—even as a beaten ring cham­ pion sinks at once into desuetude—so our nation (its traditions of victory- gone) woidd suffer far worse deteriora­ tion than the mere fact of defeat could inflict. It would mean that the man who has risked all in his country’s struggle for Right could never again feel his former calm certainty that Right must tri­ umph. Thus, the moral tone of the in­ dividual, as well as of the nation, would inevitably be lowered. This country has never embarked In a war of conquest.' From 1775 to the present we have fought for Liberty or for Union or for the Oppressed—ever for some sterling principle of right. From childhood we have been taught to believe that the high unselfishness of our war alms has given us the vic­ tory. We have seen the decay or de­ struction of men and nations'that have battled for dominion—as Germany is now battling. Should we fail In this, our mightiest war for the Right, the average man must lose forever the simple Faitli which has led our dear country from nothingness to its pres­ ent estate. For that Faith-, more than for anything else, our sacrifice is a hundredfold justihed.

JULY 17. 1918.NUMBER I Morehead or Simmons? Mr. Editor: —The people of Eorth Carolina in November must in the discharge of their constitu­ tional dutj elect a man to the TJ. S. Senate to occupy the seat now held by Senator P. M. Simmons. The State Board of .Elections nan declared Mr. John M. Morehead the Republican and Mr. Simmons the Democratic nominees. Ordi­ narily these gentlemen would each receive the votes of their respect . ive parties and no more but under the conditions that confront us to­ day there is sure to be a big change from former precedents, and Mr. Morehead will get his normal party vote and also a big element ot the Democratic vote. Tnose who fol­ low closely the currents ot thought among the people see clearly that a majority ot our people desire those things lor which Mr. More- head stands. Tney know him to be a splendid business man, a pa­ triotic gentleman of high character and attainment and that be is not -• a professional politician and life long office holder, as is hiB honor­ able opponent. They know that snch an one is badly needed in Washington now. They know that only a sense of honor and duty to his people, in answer to a uni­ ted and unanimous call from’ a large element of our people, caused him to allow his name to be run as a candidate for this high office. . He nas no ambition but to do his duty as a sovereign citizen ot the State he loves and in that respect he is submissive to the votes of the people He surrendered his per sonal desires and inclinations in accepting tnis honor. His oppo nent on the contrary is an extreme partisau politician and a continual candidate whose life’s ambition is to die in. office. Our people love to honor the m«n who unselfishly serves them from a sense ol duty rather than one who serves for pay and political preferment, hence Mr. Morehead will draw largely from this conservative element which sees the distinction at a glance. He will appeal powerfully to the cotton mill workers and mill managers, the element that enters so largely in our population, be cause he was once a mill worker and is uow greatly interested in the mill business. He learned the factory business as a laborer in the mill and be knows it from top to bottom, and he knows the people who make up this great industry. His advice in the Senate would be valuable to industrial North Caro liua, which interest deserves re­ presentation in Congress. Mr. Simmons does not know a cotton mill from a wind mill. AgainMr. Morehead is largely interested’ in. farming, he having for years own e I large farm properties, and he knows the ups and downs that con front the farmers and his experi eiics would euable him to legislate wisely tor their good Mr. Sim mons is a lawyer and politician Mr. Morehead inherited from his grandfather, the late Governor Morehead. those traits of character which made Governor Morehead the, ablest, most constructive and most useful Governor ol our State. History shows conclusively t that Governor Morehead iu advanced ami material leadership did more for our State than any one .’else iu our history. He laid tue founda­ tions ol our future progress, and under the superb leadership of Mr. John Motley Morehead, North Ciroiiua will make still greater strides upward and onward. He has broad views on. all questious and he studies the issues from a practical standpoint its they pfl’epc the lives of the people. If ejected he would Without qnestiop sooo Bp- come, the most popular and .-'Useful servant we have had since Yabce. Thereisno bJot npon his Whole career. Tlie wboldi fenor« Sf his ^ife has been in stiiving for the up. building of our people. He has few pretentions and he speaks moslly.by his deeds. Those who woi-k for and with him know best his merits. He shuns the. lime­ light. He will serve us as Senator for our good. He has no selfish ends to serve, no ambitions to fos­ ter, no enemies to punish, no hob hies to ride. Ifelectedhew ill be an ideal statesman worthy of his honored sires and worthy of our great commonwealth. He will command the respect of all men generally. He would win and uold the love and support of all our people of every ‘ name and party. It is seldom that one ol nis attainments will seive the peo­ ple through a sense ot duty and when one such does offer to serve they will receive the loyal support of the people. North Carolina ueeds a great, broad statesnrau iu the Senate, one who rises above peanut politics, one who will aid jn our industrial and civic develop­ ments and one whose visions auti neart beats are all lor the people, and Mr. Morehead is that man He is a Ioyal American in the uighest seuse of the word. His advise in the reconstruction that must follow the war will be most valuable to the nation. If elected ae will represent the people and uot a machine. He represents no taction aud no special interests, as s charged -against his opponent. He will uphold the principles 01 protection to American interests os the tiue American principle, arid when the war closes this priu oiple will become from necessity the uuiversal principle ol all the people. Mr. Simmons and his tree trade party is entirely out ol Darinouy with t-Le demands that ire sure to come upon ns. These would close our mills, destroy our markets, bankrupt bur treasury, a ad such a fate is sure to come un­ less men like Mr. Morehead are elected to protect.us in the fatefal events that will follow’ the war. TIpou this issue alone Mr. More- bead should be elected aud he will be when the people realize the Si tuation that must come sooner or later. It is common knowledge Ciiat Mr. Simmons has a political michine that is a terror to all who do not bow to it. This machine is opposed by a great element in the democratic ranks and they have Iried for years to throw inoukev wrenches into the machiuery in the hope of wrecking it but have failed. Tnis element of high and honorable men now see that by electing Mr. Morehead they can get the legislation we need and !■mash the nmcbiue at the same time. Therefore the man of the hour for the people is Mr. Morehead, and they will seize this opportuni­ ty to elect him—Concord Observer.

Restlessly the soldier paced the railway platform. The waiting citizen noted well the soldier’s impatience, and meanwhile discovered a purpose in his eye and manner. "You are on your way to France?” he asked approaching him. ‘‘No, I’m on my way to Berlin,” the soldier replied. A moment of silence passed. "What will your fare be to Ber­ lin?” ‘I don’t know,” he said. "I don’t know how long I will be making the trip. AU that I know is that I’m going to Berlin before I return.” "I am going to pay your fare. Of course I know Uncle Sam looks after that now, but somebody must pay him and I’m the man. You may count on me, sir, to pay your expenses every step of the way, and I shall expect you to go well equip­ ped, and lack for nothing. I shall begin meeting your expenses by- buying War-Savings Stamps—all that the law will.allow me to own, then I shall work and save and give that you may enter Berlin victor­ iously and return to us in peace and happiness. Here’s my word. God bless you all the way.” The spirit on the part of the American soldier and citizen will win ths war most triumphantly. When every citizen at home is will­ ing to pay the way of a soldier to Berlin and requests him to go well equipped’ and lack nothing, then will'Old Glory snap and flutter as she advances over boundaries and barriers on the road to Berlin. . The spirit that would not send the soldiers away miserly and scan­ tily supplied, to suffer hardships'and fight against handicaps, is the (true American spirit.. No regular ^ed- blooded citizen of America could feel any- thrill of victory, or could shout when the boys return, who had 4 not helped to pay a soldier’s fare to Ber­ lin. and had equipped him to make the trip as safe and easy as possible Is There Any Danger Of The Peo­ ple Not Knowing? The Louisville Post, a bourbon free trade organ, in attacking the Republican policy of making the foreign producer help pay the cost of maintaining the government of the republic whose markets he en­ ters, by applying a protective ta riff, says: “ Does any sane persou believe that it is a good thing to levy taxes in such a Iorm that the people will not know they are be ing taxed!’’ Does any sane per son, possibly including the editor of the Louisville Post, have the slightest suspicion that the people are going to be in any danger of not knowing they are being taxed, after they have had a couple of years more of’ an administration elected on a pledge to return the government “ to that simplicity and economy befitting a democratic government.” The editor of the Post has parroted an ancient free trade phrase which might have had some slight gleam of intelli­ gence in an earlier day, but which, in the lightof recent events, is lu­ dicrously stupid.—National Re­ publican.

Where ip the State Fuel AdmiuistratorV Mother's Day in France. B. L Tucker, one of our Davie hovs who is now with “the colors” in France, writes the following let­ ter to his parents. Mr. and Mrs. George Tucker, near Ad vance. We reproduce it below; Dearest and best of all mothars: —Although I cannot spend this dav with you I am very thankful that I can write and assure you that I am in the best of health and spirits with a bright out look upon life. It is here that we learn what life really is and how little living amounts to af­ ter all Well mother I hear that we are soon to be relieved for a month’s rest, for try : ar; I don’t want it, I 'ihd rather stay up here where I can do a man’s work and take a man’s chances, of course I am never in so much danger. But as I told you in iny last letter, I have been gassed once and having looked the worst in the face one time and come out all- r.ght, I know I have nothing to fear now Remember I was born lucky, in­ stead of handsome.. Everything is beautiful here now. Even though just over the hill murder and hate walk hand in hand and death reigns supreme. It is pathetic to see bow the people of France look to us to save them from tie huns, we have taken- a big responsibility upon our­ selves. But it is a worthy task. If every young man over there could see and know the things I have seen and know,- the selective draft would die a speedy death. I may be wrong but I have looked at it from both sides over there and over here and I can only feel a burning contempt for any oae who will be drafted. It is not like an American, it is not living up to the standards set by our forefathers when they died so that our Birthwright might be free­ dom and peace. If they sacrificed their all that we might have what -they had not; how much mire willing we ought to be to sacrifice our puny weak kneed selves to keep and pass on this priceless heritage. I may not live to see it and .I’m not worrying ’ about that part of it either But I know that we will win this war, and I get satisfaction enough from this fact to compensate me for a thousand deaths, for I can know that in being a true son to my blessed mother, I have given my ut­ most to save her and her race from what is or might become worse than death, and to help bring back the smiles to the patient sad-eyed wo men of France and BelgiumIf the fellows over there could on­ ly see these women as they go about You Should Rementber That this country is at war. That our soldiers need woolen clothing and there is a world short­ age of 54,000 000 sheep. That there has been a decline of 12 per cent in the sheep industry in the United States since 1900. That there has been a decline of 30 per cent in the sheep industry of our farming sections since 1900. That the sheep population of the United States, today is approximate­ ly 32.000,000 while ourgrbzing arebs will maintain 150,000,000 head. That the war has brought meatless days which the growing of sheep by farmers can help to overcome. That the placing of soldiers in the field who must have woolen clothing means an excessive demand for woo) in the face of a decreasing sheep copulation. Tnat it takes the wool from 20 sheep to furnish a soldier at the front with necessary woolen garments. That North Carolina has only 200,- 000 sheep, and therefore, from this standpoint, could only place ten thousand soldiers in the field;.. That the one chief reason; for the decline in the sheep industry in North Carolina is due to the worth­ less roaming dog. That the county demonstration agents of this State, who are the spokesmen for the farmers in their county, state that 75 per cent of the reasons why sheep are not grown is because of the uncontrolled dog. That if 40 sheep were grown on ev­ ery other farm in North Carolina, the State would produce 4.000,000 instead of 200,000 head. That we should pay tribute to an industry which could be made to bring a return of $20,000,000 to North Carolina annually, and not to an industry which demoralixes this possibility. That sheep furnish food, clothing, and valuable soil fertility. That worthless roaming dogs con­ tract and spread rabies, kill and maim sheep, spread hog cholera, are a menace to the poultry and turkey industries, and are parasites to Food their task.dav after day. and have j conservation, been doing it for three long years!

As I wish to give the Davie county teach­ ers the first chance I ask that those who expect to teach in Davie county another year will file their applica­ tions with me at once, so I will know how many teachers to secure else­ where. .

Well, we have before us this evening a pole cat word, a word used to soften suspicion or dis­ tract attention. For instance, the pole cat “specialist” who is invariably anonymous and always “perfecting” wonderful new remedies, urges you to "just get an ounce of”—and you go and get it. We know mighty little EVEN A FROG HAS SOME SENSE. If You- Are Troubled With Warts, Don’t Take the Chances of Blood Poison by Careless Treatment. Have a Good Physician to Cut Them Out for You. about warts, hardly enough to venture a talk about them, so, with an apology to the beautiful and inoffensive animal above libelled, we entitle the talk “Just Warts." Jadassohn Inserted fragments of common or vulgar warts from four pa­ tients in superficial incisions of the skin in six adults. Out of seventy-four Inoculations, thirty-three were follow­ ed In from two to sis months by the development of warts, according to 1896, p. 497. This goes to show that warts must be caused by some specific micro-organism. A wart may be con­ sidered a nest of bacteria. In young people warts are only a ; nuisance. When warts come on the • skin of elderly people, or people of middle age, they seem to have a tend­ ency to break down into little ulcers which presently prove to be cancer­ ous. Hence, though a young person ■ may dally with warts, any elderly per­ son had better not. Beyond • all question the surest, safest, least troublesome way to dis­ pose of a wart is by cutting it out, un­ der local„apestbesia, and bringing the • 'edges'of the little wound together with I a stiteh' in order to prevent visible Occasionally warts are tubercular, acquired by handling tubercular car­ casses or hides (butchers, etc.) and sometimes acquired by physicians and students in the dissecting room. The reason why children more gen­ erally have warts than adults is that children indiscriminately handle ev­ erything and naturally hate to wash their hands. Warts go with uncleanli­ ness, and not with undue familiarity with toads. Sometimes a crop of warts on the hands may be cleared up by occasion­ ally painting the whole affected sur­ face with half strength iodine (half tincture of iodine and half alcohol, say, once in four or five days), and re­ ligiously scrubbing with soap and wa­ ter several times a day to discourage microbes. Exposure to sunlight is also a cure In many cases. Condensing the sun’s rays upon a wart with a reading glass every day, up to the limit of tol­ erance, will clear it up after a time. When too many warts are tmisent to attempt tlie removal of each lesion, a few X-ray treatments will usually de­ stroy them. A multiple growth of warts on unexposed skin is best at­ tacked by the currette under ether. There are as many sure cures for warts as there are victims of warts. Acids, caustics and other irritants are unwise, because these are often pain­ ful, usually unsatisfactory and some­ times apparently productive of malig­ nant change in the lesion (cancer). Moist warts, about moist surfaces, may be cleared up by careful cleanli­ ness, and bathing with one dram of tannin acid dissolved in three ounces of alcohol, then powdering well with boric acid or zinc stearate. The region must be kept dry. Questions and Answers. , ,- Miss A J .: Is there any safe way •of removing freckles? Answer: Freckles which are produced by exposure to the sun and wind may be generally made to disappear if the skin is protected. The application or buttermilk or oatmeal poultices is a sim­ple means that will facilitate disappear^ ance. Freckles which appear in the skin without special exposure cannot be re­moved by such means • but may be re­moved by the carbon dioxide-ice. This method, however, is likely to produce slight redness of the skin. In the case of very dark brown freckles the redness may be preferable. Mrs. H. F. E.: Can you tell mo the cause of an enlarged Joint of the big toe and how it can be cured? Answer: The enlargement may be due to many causes, the most common being rheumatism, gout, and in the case o, the great toe the pressure of an im­properly shaped toe. You may be suffer­ing from a bunion requiring a slight operation. Change In shape of Bhoe would probably -help. Mrs. M. S. K.: MTiat is a remedy for car-sickness? It is 'necessary for me to travel, but I am always fright­ fully sick. ' Answer: Chronic autointoxication ren­ders a person very susceptible to ear- slckness and to seasickness. When the bowels are trained to move three or four times a day so .that the blood is kept clean, car-sickness is less likely to oc­cur. For immediate relief the horizon­tal position, the application of cold to the head, and keeping the eyes closed are simple measures of value. D. S.

So it takes, on the 'average,’ two generations to. •overcome’an erratic theory. For example, take the night air bogy. 'O u r'grandparents and their doctors thoroughly believed in the toxieity of the open air after dark, . and spared no pains to exclude all they could of it- from' the sleeping room:. Our mothers began to have their- doubts: about it when electric lighting' made the. days longer. And for us tqday night air • is just a joke. asLwe isay.-it is one of the de- -^ljK ul 'ta iin g fffl^ t - doctors, they arc shum^n, they ! disagree so. cordial­ ly. ^Although:; there is no longer any "difference -o toiHiJioii In the medical profession a s.tbgfhie'.causes of the common respfratdrjy : ali'mqnls, there, is still some sllght'eoutrovSpy over the predisposing factors of mfch diseases. • It is absurd to. think ofFtaking.cold” In the literal sense of-tSe phrase, yet 'the idea that “exposure lowers re- sistance to infection” still prevails among the senior medical authorities, and we fear that so long as the good old doctors adhere to this conception it will be impossible to make any ap­ preciable progress In the prevention of the respiratory infections vulgarly known as ’colds” and “grippe.” The catching cold phobia handicaps or predestines to failure every effort in that laudable direction. You can’t make a hard-headed human being be­ lieve that the open air, or cool freBh air in a moving state indoors is wholly good for his health if in the same breath you caution him to look out for the drafts. You can’t persuade him to take his constitutional every day In the year if you admit that a wetting of the -feet how and then or a sudden change of weather lowers his resistance—whatever that means. The respiratory infections, includ­ ing tuberculosis and diphtheria and pneumonia of course, cause more deaths than all other diseases combin­ ed in this country The respiratory infections, excluding tuberculosis (which is sometimes, at least, not a respiratory infection but an aliment­ ary infection) cause most of the dis­ ability of workers from sickness. AU of the major and minor ailments pop­ ularly classified as “colds,” of which pneumonia is the typo and coryza, (head “cold”) the most frequent, are preventable but rarely prevented be­ cause of the very fact that people are afraid of exposure to pure air. Somehow there has been crystallized In popular imagination the notion that “grippe” is an illness vaguely due to (I) weather either too damp, too dry, too cold, too warm or too bad, (2) this weather penetrating the bones and causing aches and pains, chiUness and. feverishness, mid especially (3) sneez­ ing, coughing, liorseness ,or port throat AU of which features are .common, to practically all of the . known respira­ tory infections. But thet^-no :matter, what does the victim carey which ail­ m enthe has, so long as it' is “grippe” and in season? And yeti-heaven’only knows what “grippe” is. : NO doctor knows what lie means when he diag­ noses “grippe.” i “ PLA TTSBU RG S” FOR SCH OOL TEACHERS To Be Held by N ational Security L eague T hroughout Country During Coming Sum m er. “Teachers’ Plattsburgs,” at which 300,000 ,public school teachers will be given practical training In patriotic education, will be held during the com­ ing summer in practically every state in the Union by the National Security League. The scheme of this elaborate new division of the League’s Patriot­ ism Through Education campaign is conceived on the same basic idea along which the League lias been working for some time, concentrating on the teachers of the youth of the land and thereby reaching tlie children through the teachers and the people through their children. The objects of the League’s cam­ paign are two-fold—active combating of German propaganda and awaken­ ing a more responsible-American citi­zenship. At Summer Schools. The Security League will conduct these “Teachers’ Plattsburgs” through the medium of the summer schools for teachers that are held throughout the country every year. It has not yet been determined how many centers will be used. The matter is being taken up with all of the 700 summer schools of the country and probably between 50 and 75 of the training camps will be established, the schools selected being chosen after careful In­ vestigation as to attendance, breadth of influence and convenience of loca­ tion. The training camps will be conduct­ ed by leading educators whose co-oper­ ation will be enlisted by the League. The actual instruction will be under the direction of Dr. Bobert M. McEl- roy, educationnl director of the League, and tlie members of tlie “Na­ tional Patriotic Education Faculty” which he has organized. The League already has over 1,000 experienced pa­ triotic speakers on its Speakers’ Bu­ reau list. A great many of these men and women will be detailed to the "Teachers' Plattsburgs" and their number will be augmented by volun­ teers from the principal colleges and universities of tlie country, whose aca­ demic duties have prevented them from taking active part In the patri­ otic education work outside their' im­ mediate field, but who will be free during the summer months. War Spirit. The teachers will be given a series of vital interpretations of the war by men and women who have given care­ ful study to the situation. In addition to this instilling of the war spirit In the teachers, the training camps will also afford them practical Instruction In the best methods of imparting to the youth of the land the two war principles on which the Security League’s Patriotism Through Educa­ tion campaign is based—the menace of Germany to America, and the neces­ sity of. individual service on the part of every man. woman and child In the country in order to prevent defeat. : A preliminary letter has been sent by Doctor McElroy to the directors of all the summer schools of the country. I Your Couutiy Calls! J ^ YTYr YTYYYTYYYYTYYTYYYY Awake, Americans! M aIce this war your war. Every man must prove I '«•' Right is Might. Jt means your liberty, If not^our life.

Tribune,” to the National Security Leaguers campaign of Patriotism Through Education.) Although Germany, . while yet a “friend,” Intrigued against our peace and order, urged Japan and Mexico to make war on us, and murdered our men, women and children, there are those among us professing loyalty and intelligence who practically say this is not our war and appear unable to real­ ize that the defeat of the boche is as vital to us Americans as was the vic­ tory of 1776. Then we declared for independence; now we fight to maintain It. It is not merely that we fight In answer to indignity and material In­ jury done us through attack on our rights as a nation and on the lives of our citizens—not merely to uphold our place among self-respecting peo­ ples—that we are at wav; but literally for our self preservation as a republic. To muzzle this war-mad wild beast we have taken up arms—that the world shall be safe for the freemen of -the world. . The world cannot rest in peace while Germany holds the destiny of other peoples in her blood-dripping hands. The world cannot live in peace with a people that commits, or permits her sponsors to commit In her name, the foul acts of treachery, of vandalism, of bestiality, of murder, that have marked the trail of the German army over Europe. One doctrine or the other must pre­ vail ; either the German brutal right of might or the civilized might of right— one or the other—must succumb In this conflict to the death. And should it be the German doctrine—then shall we fall under the domination of a people that have robbed and raped and looted and burned and killed, that the “kultur” of a military oligarchy shall live. Prussianism is devoid of honor, truth, justice or mercy, as its own acts have proved, and its defeat is a neces­ sary first step for the peace of the world and the freedom of civilization. For the safety of American institu­ tions it must be destroyed; for the safety of American freedom, yours and mine and of nil of us. Y.We are In the midst of war, our war, the war of every freeman, of every .man and woman who does not indorse W wardly murderous assault upon the .weak and innocent, brutal Injustice, and atrocious acts; and if we would preserve the Stars and Stripes and all they stand for we must fight tlie Huns abroad and the pacifists at home with all our strength.

Concerning A Dog Law. JJortI) Carolina m ay have a dog lair oue of tliesa days, ‘ not. and then There are MOCKSVILLE. NORTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY. JULY 24. 1918.NUMBER2 agaiu she uiay people who think such a. law ie needed, and there are folks who would fight the enactment of a dog control statute. Dog laws are intended to protect sheep and are not lor the benefit of dogs, yet dogs properly cared and controlled would have little to fear. The dog that stays at home and attends to bis own business, or the business of his owner, if that be a legitimate business, gets the proper protection, and the preda­ tory dog—the wandering jew—gets wliat is coming to him. S h e e p g r o w in g experts are agreed that the only solution of the world.wide shortage of wool and the scarcity of food depends to a considerable degree upon the control ot the dog menace, and it is up to the legislatures of the country to provide the machinery1 to handle the subiect. Along this line, may be quoted the law passed, in 1916, by the legislative assembly of the province of Outario, Canada. This law has operated in an effective way. Other sections of the conntry with sufficient ,desire to improve their sheep growiug industry, might consider how Ontario handles it. Tbe annual tax is $1 for a male and §3 for a female dog, if only one, with an additional tax of $2 and 5, respectfully, for the other dogs in the family. And too, the Iocalmunicipalitiesare given the right to levy an additional tax of oue dollar a head, making a pack of hounds so much of a luxury aB to border upon the •‘non-esseatial” class. If tbe owner of the dog re. I uses to pay the tax, then the au­ thorities must kill the dog. Un­ less Ihe tux assessor or collector enforces tbe dog law, then that official mi st contribute to the pub­ lic coffers a penalty of $10 for each failure to enforce the Iaiw. The taxes accruing from Onta iV s law “ shall constitute a fund lor satisfying such damages as arise iu any year from dogs killing or injuring sLeep in the munici­ pality, aud the residue, if any, ilmll form part of the funds of the municipality for the general pur­ poses thereof.” Ifauy persou sees a dog “ pur­ suing worrying or wounding any sheep, ” he m ay kill the dog. Aud if any person finds a dog in an en­ closed field on the. farm owned, tented or occupied by the person and the dog be annoying or terri- fj inS lhe sheep on the farm, then said persou is given the right to Pat an end to the dog. Further­ more, “ any person may, kill any dug which he finds strayiug be tween sunset and sunrise on any farm whereon sheep are kept.” A dog law of this kind enacted J this state might do wonders to ff»rd building up an industry foi which Uorth Carolina has every tIlPortuiiUy. Tne niain thing is to get the legislator who has the nSht kind of a spine to put it ■ifrohs and get back next session. J Daily Record. Extravagance Is Treason. George Harvey. The expenditures of the govern ment for the year jnst closing amount to approximately $13,000.- 000,000. No loyal American will begrudge the outlay. UTocousider atiou of expense must be allowed to interfere with the winning of the war, and no patriotic citizen will criticise the administration because of tbe vastness ot its ex penditures .or complain of the bar den which increased income and excess-profits taxes impose—pro­ vided the money is wisely expen­ded. But with expenditures moun ing at such'a pace, with every citizen from the highest to the lowest com peiled to contribute till it hurts, there comes imperative necessity for prudence, for economy, for wis­ dom. This is no time for cheese­ paring, it is true. But also it is no time for reckless extravagance. “Millions for war but not one cent for politics” must be the watch word of all who control the expen­ diture of the public funds. Woe unto the administration which is convicted of wasting the substance of the American people, at this of all times, to promote the political welfare of any party or any candi­ date, avowed or merely prospect­ ive! The American people are a just and generous people. They are brave and they are patriotic. They are even forgiving. In large measure they have forgiven—at least for the time being—that un­ willingness to prepare which now compels tfiem to pay twice and thrice the cost which would have been incurred had military prepa ration been undertaken in due sea­ son. - But a ' steru accoutring awaits their public servants if they shall be fouud to have wasted the uation’s substance in pandering to certain elements of the voting pop ulation. And those whose ambi­ tions prompt them to commit ex­ travagances in- order- to;-promote their personal political - welfare should tike heed lest the nomina­ tion when procured prove worth­ less because they have incurred tbe wrath ol those whom they have betrayed. Avoidable extravagance at this critical period of the war is simple treason. It is a betrayal. not alone of those who are straining every nerve to pay taxes and buy bonds, but of those who have gone “over there” cheerfully to give their lives, if need be, to tave their c Hintry-aud the world from Prus- sianism. It is especially their be-' trayal, because every dollar was ted will mean subtraction from the material assistance which their government can render them.— fix. Republican Prospects. “Republicans in Uorth Carolina, are going after every office, from that of Senator F. M. • Simmons down to constable, with a great deal more than a fight ing chance, to defeat Senator Simmons and the certainity.that they will capture many other offices,” declared Wal­ ter J. Pnrdomj of Asheville, at the Washington Hotel, Washing­ ton. .D. C. a few days ago. “ North Carolina this year presents tbe best oppottunity the Republicaus have had to break into the solid South since the civil war. Their chances are improved by incompe­ tent Democratic county govern­ ment, which not only assures tbe triamph of efficient Republican tickets which have been placed in the field in these counties, but al­ so will vastly aid in the State Re­ publican ticket. If any one doubt­ ed the spirit of the Republican party in North Carolina, be should have attended the Republican con­ vention in Asheville Saturday. A t this convention a county ticket was recommended and it will go into the primaries and formerly re ceive the nomination. Complete harmony reigned in the convention, and the delegates felt certain that the men chosen will carry Bun­ combe county by a substantial ma­ jority. Even the Democrats ad­ mit that tbe ticket will be a hard oue to defeat. The same situation prevails in other counties. “ Democrats, of course, do not concede that we have aa good a chance of defeating Senator Sim­ mons as ~we think we have. My opinion iB-that both the next Sen ate and House will be Republican; whether or not we'elect a Repub lican successor to Senator Simmons, as I think we will.” —Ex- No Worms In a H ealthy Child AU cliildren troubled with worms have an un- MaIthy color, which indicates poor blood, and M a Jw-there is more or less stomach disturbance.

MrsBurns’ Letter. Here is a letter that is certain to prove of interest to people in this vicinity, as cases, of this sort occur in almost every neighborhood, and people should know what to do in like circumstances: Savannah, Mo., Oct. 12, 1916.- . “I used a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy about nine years ago and it cured me of flux (dysentery) I had another a’tack of the same com­ plaint some three or four years ago and a few doses of this remedy cured me. 11 have recommended Chamberlain’s Colic. and Dianboea Remedy to dozens of peo­ ple since I first used it."

Do you know that twenty sheep are required to furnish the wool to outfit one soldier at the front and that the United States is raising only one-third of the wool necessary for home consump­ tion? And do you further know that only one farm in seven is raising sheep? Ohe of the best authorities in the United States says:. “Unless measures are taken immediately to produce more wool, and only bypraising more sheep can we gain this end, there will be a serir Qus shortage of wool that will boosttheprices^kelot^ sky and work hardships on our army.” The sum and substance of the matter is this: Don’t buy a single itary article of clothing that you don’t need, especially winter goods that are made largely of wool. Save and Conserve Your Clothing It is Your Duty and it Will Be to Your Advantage f o one who is not in the business knows anything about what the situation fs in the clothing and textile world. The mills are simply swamped on Government orders and the soldiers must be clothed and clothed properly, even if the rest of us wear overalls. That is right, perfectly right._ But the average man does not want to wear frayed clothes, if he can decently and patriotically avoid it. Therefore, the earlier he makes his selections and his purchases, the bester chance he stands of getting what he needs and wants.. Step into any retail clothing store in any part of the country and ask the proprietor about the clothing situation. He wil[ tell you that you will be in luck to get al-. | most anything in a year srom now if the war lasts that long. As. a consequence, there is only one thing to do, and that is Buy Early What You Actually Need, but Buy No More Than You BOYLES BROTHERS CO., 413 Trade Winston-Salem, N.

' The Local Sugar Situation. Inquiries to County Food Admin* istrator A. T. Grant, Jr., indicate that a number of good housewives do not thoroughly understand the regulations governing the use of sugar for canning and preserving purposes, and some have thought they would be compelled to abandon further canning and preserving. They have been under the impres­ sion that only 25 pounds for each household was available for this pur­ pose. "It is the very earnest desire of the Poo-I Administration that the largest possible quantity of fruit be saved through canning, preserving, drying or evaporation,” today de­ clared Mr. Grant to a Record re porter. "Naturally in the face of a sugar shortage there is a remark able increase in the drying and evap­ orating of fruits. Also .the Food Administration is urging as its mot to. "maximum canning with min iraum sugar,” and Mrs. Jane S. Mc- Kimmori, head of home demonstra tion work in North Carolina! recom­ mends the use of only one pound for 15 quarts of fruit. If addition­ al sugar is necessary it can be added when the fruit- is eaten. At that time the sugar situation will no­ doubt be much easier. "No household is allowed to have more than 25 pounds of sugar dur ing the season for canning end pre­ serving except with the approval of their County Food Administrator. However, all county food adminis­ trators have been instructed by Food Administrator. Henry A. Page to be very liberal in the exercise of the discretion that is given them in this matter and there is no reason why anyone with fruit or' berries available should not save them all by canning," preserving and' drying, The purchase of 25 pounds' or a smaller quantity for this purpose can be repeated as often as there is real and legitimate need for their purpose. "Individuals canning for the mark­ et should immediately make state­ ment to the sugar division of the food Administration at Raleigh for certi ficates upon which to buy sugar for canning and preserving. They will be allowed the full quantity neces­ sary. Statements upon which these certificates may be secured can be secured at my office.'. They must be filed with the Sugar Division at Ra­ leigh by July 15 or they will not be effective,” “W. S. S.” Advance Items. The Protracted meeting began at ihe Baptist church Sunday, Rev. V Si.

Lexington, July 18.—Twenty de serters yesterday came to Lexington and accepted the offer of the gov­ ernment to forgive their sins and allow them to enter or re enter the services of their country. Twelve of these were Davidson county men, while the remaining eight were from Davie county. The crowd was entrained on No 45 yesterday afternoon' a&d left for Camp Jackson and Camp Sevier, accompanied by Agent Frederick C. Handy, of the department of justice, and Dr. E. J. Buchanan, of the Davidson coun­ ty exemption board. Three of the Davie county men were in uniform, having deserted from ’Camp Jack* son, it is alleged, out of units now located at Camp Sevier. These included Private Cranfield, who was shot through the Body by a provost guard from Camp Greene, when he attempted to run, at his home in Davie recently. Cranfield has recovered from his wound and was in high . spirits today that he was to be allowed to go back into regular service. - Most of the Da. vidson men to come up were from the vicinity of Denton. Chairman Peter Hairston, of the Davie board, accompanied the eight men from his county, bringing them here in his automobile yesterday morning and givjng them all a cordial fare­ well at the train. AU seemed to go away in fine humor and they gave the local board their pledge that they would try to acquit themselves like men. SOME LOCAL HAPPENINGS.

New York.—German submarines ap­ pear to 'have renewed operations off th i American ; coast. The United States armored • cruiser ’ San Diego was sunk not fa r: frtim the entrance of New York harbor. Circumstantial reports reaching here indicate that she was torpedoed. There were also Teports though.not confirmed, that other ships had beem attacked, one being described as a ooastwlse passenger ship. W hether there had been a toll of lives taken on the San Diego was not known up to a late hour. No more than 335 had been accounted for out of a crew of 1,144 men aboord the warship of which some 300 ..Teached New York on a tank steamship. Thirty-two men, a lieutenant, an en­ sign and 30 sailors,' were landed in lifeboats on the Long Island shore. Survivors were reported to have been picked up by other ships, how­ ever, and to be on their way to New York. The San Diego was sunk at 11:30 a. m., about ten miles southeast of Fire Island, which is off the Long Island shore about 50 miles east of the entrance to New York harbor and on the main highway of trans-Atlantic ships bound in and out of the port. Although the navy departm ent an­ nounced that the cause of the loss of the San Diego had not been determin­ ed, information received from reli­ able sources in the afternoon indicate that subm arines had been operating off the coast and that she had been torpedoed. There' were rumors that the cruiser had been in collision, also that she had struck - a mine, but re­ ports current where survivors landed on the Long Islavd shore bore out the indications that a German submarine had been responsible. W ashington.—(Later.)—The navy departm ent has received information that: .two steamships which are - pro­ ceeding to an unnamed port' have aboard 1,156 officers and men of the United States cruiser San Diego. AMERICANS FOIL COUNTER ATTACK BY GERMANS Notwithstanding the fact that the Germans have thrown large reinforce­ m ents in to . the new battle line be­ tween So-issons and the region of Cha- teau-Thierry, they nowhere thus far have been able to stem the tide of the onslaughts the American and French troops are making against them. F rid ay saw the Americans and French batter their way further east­ ward into the deep triangular salient which has Soissons, Rheims and Cha- teau-Thierry as its points, and suc­ cessfully withstand a terrific counter attack. The gains of Friday were carried to their. greatest depth in the center of the 25-mile line and on the south­ ern flank northwest of Chateau- Thierry, where the Americans are holding forth. GERMANS BRING UP THEIR RESERVES; BATTLE FIERCER W ith the French- Armies in France. —The battle along the front of the Franco-American counter offensive be­ tween the iAisne and Marne rivers is becoming fiercer. The Germans are bringing up reserves. Hoover Arrives Safe in Great Britain. London.—H erbert C. Hoover, Amer­ ican food controller, arrived at a port from America. SCOTTISH TROOPS CAPTURE PRISONERS AND VILLAGE London.—Scottish troops captured the village of Meteren, together, with more thaii 300 prisoners and a num­ ber of machine guns, In an operation In the Bailieul sector, according to the official report from Field Marshal Haig’s headquarters. Austrian troops advanced to a short distance south of M eteren and took 80 prisoners and 10 machine guns and a Iairge quantity of other munitions of war, the report adds. ' NO IMMEDIATE NEED FOR NERVOUS UNITS IN CLASS TWO W ashington--W ith the calls for in­ creasingly . large numbers of draft registrants to fill up training camps and the first : quotas of the na­ tional army," there is much specula­ tion throughout the country as to how soon class 2 men will be called for ser­ vice There heed he no immediate anxiety on the part of these -men or their relatives. No call for fighting men will be made upon class 2 men In 1919,- in- all probability. s e r m a n s a t t a c k in g v ic io u s l y b uT5 EFFORTS PRODUCTIVE' OF SMALL RESULTS. ’ MTTLE STUBBORN CONTEST In No Instance Have the Americans Been Forced to W ithdraw—Ger­ mans Bring Up Fresh Troops. London.—Casualties sustained by Ihe German troops in the offensive Up to the presont are estimated to num­ ber 100,000, according to news receiv­ ed in London from the battle front In France. » Although .the Germans still are at­ tacking the alied lines viciously on both sides of the Rheims salient, what gains they are making continue to be small ones on isolated sectors and seemingly are confined to the region along the Marne anad immediately southwest of Rheims. Eastward from the cathedral city through Champagne, the French re­ port that they everywhere are hold­ ing the enemy and keeping their line intact notwithstanding the prodigious expenditure of shells by the Germans. Everywhere the battles are being stubbornly contested, and. where the French and Italians have been com­ pelled to give ground it has been only after the infliction of extremely heavy casualties ontheinvae d.sr casualties on the invaders. The Americans nowhere have been forced to withdraw. On the contrary near Fossoy, near the bend of the Mame between Chateau-Thierry and Dormans, they have made further im- provemnets in their positions. Like their French comrades in arms, the Americans also have been engaged in violent fighting with the enemy. Daiiy it becomes increasingly appar­ ent that the strategy of the German high command In the present battle has foremost in its consdieration the blotting out of the Rheims salient and the straightening of the line east­ ward through Champagne toward Ver­ dun to reach the railroad running from Rheims to Epernay and force the evacuation of Rheims. It is reported that French reserves have entered the fighting line along the Marne and that to the north of LaChappcile-Monthodon they have re­ captured lost territory. The Germans also, as was expected,’ have brought up fresh forces in an endeavor to push forward their project In this region. On the British front in nortlvern France and Flanders the Germans are keeping up violent bombardments on various sectors, using both gas and high explosive shells. Gas has‘been used extensively on the Villers-Bre- tonneux sector,. where the British for several days past have been de­ livering successful patrol attacks. In Albania the French and Italian troops continue to make progress against the Austrians, and in the Ital­ ian sector, up in the mountains, re­ peated Austrian attacks have been re­ pulsed by the Italians. RESULT OF GERMAN DRIVE MUCH IN ALLIES’ FAVOR W ashington.—The initial failure of the new German offensive, so care­ fully and formidably prepared, is char­ acteristic of a new phase of the war, said M. Edouard de Billy, deputy French high commissioner .to the Uni­ ted States, I n 'discussing the results of the first two days of fighting east and west of Rheims. The success of the Franco-Ameri- can oo-operation, M. de Billy said, al­ ready has been demonstrated and he added that the allies can wait for the future with, the same ’ confidence shown by the population of Paris un­ der the long range gun bombardment. “The result of the first two days’ fighting is,'on half of the front, decid­ edly in our favor,” said M. de BUly. “Over the rest of the front, the enemy succeeded - in gaining at most four miles a t the price of heavy losses. LIEUT. QUENTIN ROOSEVELT IS KILLED IN ACTION Paris.—Lieutenant Quentin Roose­ velt, youngest son of th e former presi­ dent, has been klled in an airplane fight, the semi-official Havras News agency announces. His machine fell into the enemy lines. Lieutenant Roosevelt was last seen iq combat on Sunday morning with two enemy airplanes about 10 miles in­ side the German lines in the Chateau Thierry sector. He started .out with a patrol of 13 American machines. GENERAL GOURAUDIS THE HERO OF THE DARDANELLES W ith, the French Forces'in France. —General Gouraud, the hero, of the Dardanelles, was the Frthchi com­ m ander who barred the advance of the German crown prince - in the Champagne. It was he who, to the east of Rheims, In one day.'brought the ho st'o f Germans to a standstill. This was done with only Comparative­ ly insignificant losses among his-own men in consequence of his admirable defensive preparations.. Ti PUCE CRISIS OF OFFENSIVE HAS NOT YET BEEN-REACHED IS OPIN­ ION OF OFFICIALS IS A GREAT FIGHTING FORCE More Than Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand American Trops Saldto . Bie Engaged in Battle. Washington.—The crisis of the new German offensive in France is still to he reached, in the opinion of high of­ ficials here. While the first rush of the enemy apparently m et with a de­ cided check all along the line and fell far short of the probable objectives marked out for the first day, both of­ ficial and unofficial reports from the front showed .that hitter fighting was still in progress with varying results. Probably in excess of 250,000 Amer­ ican troops are involved in one place or another, as that would be the ap­ proximate strength of Major General •Hunter Liggett’s first army corps, several divisions of which are known to be operating with the French corps along the Marne sector. Nothing had reached the war department, however, to Identify the troops who made the brilliant counter-attack at Vaux and in the Paulgonne regions which, helped materially in stemming the German tide. - High m ilitary officials did not ex­ pect to be able to form definite con­ clusions as to the whole course of the great battle or the direction in which it probably would develop before an­ other day or two had passed. . The extent to which the check of the first day may have upset the enemy’s cal­ culations could not be gauged by the meager account received that gave any specific information of a m ilitary char­ acter. Tt appears certain that for- the moment the American forces along the Marne have held this door to Paris against the enemy, promptly restor­ ing the general trend of their original lines wherever the first rush of the enemy had swept them back. Although the ailied troops seeming­ ly have the situation well in hand, it is not improbable that the Germans soon will throw large numbers of re­ serves into the fray. They are known to have thousands of these men be- liind the ‘battle line,especially north­ east of France. ELITE OF GERMAN ARMY ON PRESENT BATTLE FRONT Paris.—About 20 enemy divisions were engaged in the fighting, between Rheims and Chateau Thierry and the same number between Rheims and Massiges. Other divisions were in re­ serve and ready -to enter the battle. AU the divisions have been identi­ fied as representing the elite of the German army, showing that Germany delivered an extremely powerful ef­ fort. AU the divisions suffered heavily. Statements made by prisoners are to the effect that their officers had assured them they would have an easy victory, aserting that they would be opposed by troops in no great num­ bers and who were completely demor­ alized. Never before were the enemy losses so high. Piles of bodies covering the ground. The .fighting, of the Ameri­ cans and Italians was extremely bril­ liant. In the region of Prunay, the heavy attacks of the enemy were repulsed outright. The Serm an losses at that point are estimated as 65 per cent of the effectives engaged. Battle Christened “Peace Offensivr:." BATTLE IS CHRISTENED THE “PEACE” OFFENSIVE Several German . prisoners when interrogated, declared they had been told that this offensive would enforce the German cpnditbns of peace’ on the allies. The battle has Ieen christen­ ed by them the “peace offensive.”- GOVERNMENT TO SELL $500,000,000 GERMAN PROPERTY- W ashington.—Creation of an. organ­ ization to sell the 140 German owned corporations - taken over by the gov­ ernment and any that naay -hereafter be seized was announced by the alien property custodian. Forty of tfce cor­ porations with a_ capital is took of more than $100,000,000 are now ready for sale, and tne remaining 100 W’th a capitalization of about $150,000,000 and those taken over In the future will be''disposed of soon.' ENEMY CONTROLS' TWELVE MILES OF RIVER BANK . On the French Front in France.— The Germans have crossed the Marne at various places, giving them control over 12 riiiles of fhe southern bank of the stream between Glande and Mar- euil-le-Port. This operation cost them dearly, five 'bridges being destroyed as the troops were passing over, while hun­ dreds of their men are believed tc have met death from the machinc guns and bombs of aviators. ENEMY ATTACK ON BOTH SIDE8 OF RHEIMS GALLANTLY MET. BUT SMALL GAINS MADE. AMERICANS STERN FIGHTERS Complete .German Brigade Staff Is Among Prisoners Taken; Tank* Used in the AssauiL The expected renewal of the Ger­ man ’offensive in France has begun. Fierce battles are la progress on both sides of the famous cathedra] city of Rheims. which since the first offen­ sive along the Marne has stood the apex of a sharp salient Into the Ger­ man line. W est of Rheims the Germans with the pressure of large numbers of troops, the unleashing of which was preceded by a veritable hail of high explosives and gas shells, have been enabled to cross the Marne at several places. East of the city, however, they have been held for the smallest of gains by the tenacious resistance Cf the defenders of the line. Altogether the two battle fronts aggregate about 65 miles in length. American troops are fighting vali­ antly on the sectors they have been holding and at two points have met with notable success. At Vaux they not only broke down a violent attack by the enemy, but drove him back sev­ eral hundred yards and only returned to their former positions when the ad­ vance of the Germans southeast of Chateau-Thierry across the Marne made the reoccupation of their trenches of strategic value. . Along the Marne, between the town of Fossoy and the river Sumerlin, where the Germans crossed the Marne the Americans in a strong counter­ attack forced back the enemy to the right bank of the stream. At other points along the river they used to the greatest advantage their machine guns against enemy elements which were crossing the river on pontoon bridges, killing or wounding many of them. In th e . counter-attack near Fossoy between 1,000 and 1,500 Ger­ mans were made prisoner by the Am­ ericans. The captured contingents in­ cluded a complete brigade staff. The French general In command on this sector sent a congratulatory message to the general in command of tha American troops. The Germans in addition to their tremendous expenditure of explosive and. gas shells used numerous tanks against the lines of the'defenders and also opened with numerous naval guns bombardments of towns and cit­ ies far behind the battle line, dropping upon, them shells from 10 to 12-inch pieces. The details of the strategic scheme the Germans have In view have not yet been unfolded. It seems apparent, however, that the main objective In the first stages of the offensive is the throwing of their lines southward on both sides of Rheims, enveloping that city and forcing its capitulation. RESULTS SO FAR SHOW FOCH WAS FOREWARNED The Jact that stubborn resistance m et every German rush all along the line shows that General Foch was' fully forewarned of the general terri­ tory in which the attack was develop­ ed. It appears certain that he had his reserves close up and outgeneralled the enemy Ini this vital factor. Offi­ cials were strongly ’inclined to be­ lieve that the present German effort is Intended only as a forerunner for a later assault to the north toward the channel ports. If it proves successful In dislodging the Franco-Italian de­ fenders of Rhelms by later direct as­ saults or by pressing th eir, pincer movement, it is argued that the FrancO-British reserves back of Amiens might be drawn into the de­ fense of Paris, weakening the line in the Albert region which is regarded as the certain prime objective of the whole German plan of campaign. NEWS OF ACTION WAS RECEIVED WITH ELATION HERE Washingtom—An air of elation was apparent in government circles as press dispatches from France unfold­ ed the story of the valiant stand of American troops along the Marne, where they hold the left flank of the gr'eait battle front, while the French army, aided near Rheims by Italian divisions, stood fast over the far greater extent of the line they defendad against fierce assaults by the enemy. GERMAN INFANTRY NO MATCH FOR AMERICAN W ith the American Army on the Marne.—The correspondent talked to some American soldiers how in hos­ pital. They were ini complete agreement that the German infantry was no .match for the American. This Is evidenced by the reports from all the American hospitals, there being only a few cases of wounds from rifle and machine gun fire, while most o the men are suffering from shrapnel wounds. f ChiMs and Fever, B iliousnejs, * C onstipation a n tfa ifm e n ts re^nirir.j- a TffltIC treatm en t: GUARANTEEDarid madd by BehrensDmtf Ga.Woto.

That North Carolinia will he prac­ tically out of sugar within 30 days unless consumers cut their consump­ tion to much less than the maximum ration of three pounds per person per month, is the startling announcement this afternoon hy State Pood Admin­ istrator Henlry A. Page, following tele­ graphic correspondence with the Washington office on the sugar situa­ tion. In issuing certificates to wholesalers and retailers the sugar division during July has been issuing certificates up to 190 per cent of the estimated re­ quirements given by merchants on their statements. All certificates have not been issued yet notwithstanding the overtime working of a fortfe of more than 30 clerks In the sugar di­ vision, but a partial tabulation indi­ cates that certificates have been is­ sued for very nearly double the ap­ portionment of sugar in North Caro­ lina far the month of July. This means that no certificates will he issued for August at all unless additional sugar is available from the m arkets for this state. Administra­ tor Page instructed county food ad­ ministrators that no further sales of 25 pound lots of sugar for canning and preserving purposes would be made without the specific authority of county food administrators. , Heretofore the first 25 pounds has beem sold upon certificates not requir­ ing the approval of county food admin­ istrators. Emphasis will also he placed upon the keeping of accurate records of sales of sugar in whatever quantities, by retailers. Fireman's Belief Money. The 1918 firemen’s relief fund, accu­ mulated for the various cities and towns of the state that m aintain fire departments through the payment by Insurance companies of one-half of one per cent on insurance premiums, received from insurance in the respec­ tive municipalities, has been paid over to the sl9.te insurance department and is just distributed by Commissioner Jam es R. Young to these towns, the total being $12,547.97. The fund is used for the relief of firemen sick or Injured by accident, the care for their dependents and for relief of needy, firemen who have had as much as ten years’ service. It develops that in quite a number of towns there has accumulated con­ siderable unused funds from the mon­ eys received in past .annual distribu­ tions and Commdsstoner Young is. urg­ ing the proper authorities to invest these funds in war savings and Lib­ erty bonds.

For Proper Distribution of Labor, The United States government is .planning to leave nothing undone •which looks to the proper distribution of labor, and the utilization of all labor in the country is shown clearly by Its move to enlist every available agency in the work of disseminating Information, Next week the com­ m ittee on public information win put on a speaking campaign through­ out the United States, utilizing the iour- minute, men’s organization, num­ bering some. 45,000, in the theaters public gaitherisgs of all sorts. . - Feed For Chicks and Hags. Many North Carolina fanners have greatly increased the number of pigs and poultry usually kept on their farms.. SupporJed with an 'abundance Ot home grown feeds, {hese hogs and hens should give their ownars an adequate supply of m eat and eggs for another year’s consumption, states J. M. Johnson of the agricultural ex­ tension service. It is well, though, for those who have added to the number of hogs and hens usually kept to remember that, without more and better feeds, this extra livestock may become a liability instead of a valuaible asset. There is always some grain and oth­ er products of an unmarketable, or inferior quality, which can be, and nearly always is ,consumed by hogs and chickens on the farm. Thus fed, the animals makb a cheap and teas- •onably satisfactory gain. When the number is increased, though, without additional feeds, they cannot be prop­ erty nourished. The idea that the farm er mu6t get right now is that, with his increased number of livestock, he m ust provide a proportionately greater supply ol feed. It is not yet too late to plant peas and other legumes near the house for the chickens late in the summer and during the fall. The hens will lay oisccer with this extra green stuff, anv they will not require nearly so much' grain during the w inter and early spring. The pigs now growing into' this win­ ter’s pork supply need an extt? amount of grazing crops for late sum­ mer and fall. Plant soybeans, cow- peas, Spanish peanuts, or other crops on the available spots near the lots and pastures, or in the corn fields,, and let. the hogs do the harvesting. Aftei the fattening hogs have done their share, the brood sow with her fall pigs can go in the field and finish up the job. Then there is practically no. waste, and the pork is made at a low cost. Secure Labor In Orderly Way. The department ot labor has an­ nounced that only m anufacturers en­ gaged in filling w ar contracts and‘em­ ploying over 100 workers will be re­ quired to obtain their unskiled labor through the United States employ­ ment service by the ruling which goes into effect August I. This announce­ m ent was the result of inquiries re­ ceived by the departm ent of lat>or from employers not engaged in war work and specifies the conditions un­ der which private recruiting of labor may be continued. A copy of the announcement received by the local employment bureau reads as fellows: "Non-war industries are affected only indirectly. But they are^one and all affected directly, from the fact that the war industries ofthe nation manding sacrifice and cooperation are now of paramount importance, de- from all employers not engaged in war w ork. in * order that they may function with maximum efficiency. “Non-war industries, therefore, must not offer superior inducements, prevent the' transfer of workers urg­ ently needed for war production or in any W y attem pt to compete with the government for labor. "The following five classes of labor need not at the present time be re­ cruited through the United States em­ ployment service, although, of course, the machinery of the employment serftce is available to all employers needing these classes: "I. Labor which is not jjirectly or indirectly solicited. “2. Labor for railroads, except in so far as the director general of railroads has already or may in the future e- fiuire that recruitng shall bo exclusive­ ly though the United States employ­ ment service. “3. Farm latipr—to he recruited In accordance with existing arrangement with th edepartment of agricultur.e. “4. Labor^ for non-war work. “5. Lalbor for establishments the maximum force of which (including the additional number recruited) dees not exceed 100 employees.” To Operate E. C. RAIIroad. President Henry Olark Bridgers, of the East Carolina Railroad Company, before leaving W ashington decided to operate his own railroad under the liberal stipulations of the railroad ad­ m inistration as to satisfactory rout­ ings and fair treatm ent. .. tv. —J---- To Homestead Returning'Soldiers. Secretary of Sbate J. Bryan Grimes_ is in earnest in his request for'hom e­ steading soldier farmers in North Carolina. His plan is considered wor­ thy of support. The west will grab off lots of the soldiers after the war, and make g-ftod citSzens-out of thelh. Many of the boys a t the front were valuable assets before they went to war but they wiH be worth a great deal as community builders when they return) from the battlefield. This is a m atter which vitally affects the entire country and.the south particularly. Sell Wool to Mills Direct. An announcement from the office of the Agricultural Experiment Station tends to relieve the situation In re­ gard to the selling of wool by farmers in North Carolina. In North Carolina there are three woolem mills at work on government contracts. All thTee of these mills are making up, equip, ment for soldiers, and, by a special provision of the W ar Industries Boardi they may buy wool fram farmers di­ rect. ' They cannot buy from dealers, however. OVER THE LAND OF THE LONGJiEAF PINE SHORT NOTES OF INTEREST TO CAROLINIANS. Raleigh—Governor Thomas W.

The . . .21c WIIO W ENT MACHINF GUNNER,3ERV1NG MfftAHCIr ei i9i7 Br ARTHUR ant EtlgY EMPEY JOINS THE “SUICIDE CLUB ” AS THE BOMBING SQUAD IS CALLED. Synopsis.—Fired by the sinking of the Lusitania, with the loss of American lives, Arthur Guy Empey, an American Uving In Jersey City, goes to England and enlists as a private in the British army. A fter a short experience as a recruiting officer in London, he is sent to train­ ing quarters in France, where he first hears the sound of big guns and makes the acquaintance of “cooties.” A fter a brief period of training Empey’s company is sent into the front-line trenches, where he takes his first turn on the fire step while the buUets whiz overhead. Empey learns, as comrade falls, that death lurks always in the trenches. Empey goes “over the top” for the first time and has a desperate fight. CHAPTER XII. Bombing. He hovs in the section welcomed me I hack bui there were many strange races. Several of our men had gone west in that charge, and were lying •somewhere in France” with a UtUe wooden cross at their heads. We were Io rest billets. The next day our cap­ tain asked for volunteers for bombers’ school. I gave my name and was ac­ cepted. I had Joined the Suidde club, and my troubles commenced. Thirty- two men of the battalion, including my­ self, were sent to L , where we I went through a conrse In bombing. I Here we were instructed in the uses,I methods of throwing and manufacture [of various kinds of hand grenades, I from the old “jam tin,” now obsolete, j to the present Mills bomb, the standard I of the British army. It all depends where you are as to I what you are called. In France they j call you a “bomber” and give you med- Jals. while in neutral countries they Icall yon an anarchist and give you I life." From the very start the Germans Iwere well equipped with effective Ibombs and trained bomb throwers,,but 1 English army was as Uttle prfe. Ipared in this important department of ■ lighting as in many others. At bomb- Ilng school an old sergeant of the Gren- Iadier guards, whom I had the good ItorCune to meet, told me of the dlscour- Jagements this branch of the service Isaffered before they could meet the J Germans on an equal footing. (Pad- Jflsts and small army people in the |B. S. please read with care.) The first !English expeditionary forces had no Ibombs at all, but had clicked a lot of Iiasualtles from, those thrown by the JBoches. One bright morning someone Jhlgher up had an idea and issued an Jotder detailing two men from each Jplatoon to go to bombing school to Jleam the duties of a bomber and how Jto manufacture bombs. Noncommls- Jdoed officers were generally selected Jlor this course. After about two Jweeks at school they returned to their J0nlt3 la rest billets or in the fire ■trench, as the case might be, and got Jbnsy teaching their platoons how to Jnake “jam tins.” J Previously an ordfr had. been issued Juw all ranks to save empty jam tins T the manufacture of bombs. A pro- Pteor of bombing would sit on the step in the front trench with the remainder of his section crowding I t0lMd to see him work. . ?n ieft would be a pile of empty f rusty jam tins, while beside him |® fire step would) be a miscella- JWotis assortment of material used In J * manufacture of the “jam tins.” J Tommy would stoop down, get an Bripty “jam tin,” take a handful of T aJoy mud from the parapet, and line o Ioslde of the tin with this snb- J** Ttlen fie would reach over, Pt up his detonator an'd explosive, msert them in the tin, fuse pro- fcn» » 0n 4116 dre steP would-be a LlhtJ fraEments of shell, shrapnel •i Wts of iron, nails, etc.—anything t-*!S kard enough to send over tofritz; be would scoop up a handful of Ih C arolina 5 Junk and put it In the bomb. Per- h * of the platoon would ask him L aedld t^is' for* eott fie would. Kes» Kt» wben tlle bomb exploded to a ts would fly qbout and kill or W ia0ay German fitt by same; the Biitna 86I woald tnimedlately pull a JL, off his tunic and hand it to S S^Tivlaaker wlt^ “We,I> blame Hothe ra over 88 8 sonventr,” or Btfl rnet-. y w°uld volunteer an Vontrt v and br°fien jackknife; both ITh 6 accePted and inserted WereJ tllJ PfOfessor would take' an- Wwh0 Vnl of Brad and flu tfie ^f°lld e vke Jvonld Punch a hole' In L a.,?

PtjPlied J H Issued- TliiS was to be e htOlenn, ,eft fOrearm by means Jle o( a dJer straps and was like the tee- m5 ch b<*; it was called a I y -rnWe was a tip like the snStcb on the fuse of the bomb. To ignite the fuse, you had to rub it on~the “striker,” just the same as striking a match. The fuse was timed to five seconds or longer. Some of the fuses issued in those days would burn down In a second or two, while others would “slzz” for a week before exploding. Back in Blighty the muni­ tion-workers weren’t quite up to snuff, the way they are now. If the fuse took a notion to burn too quickly they gen­ erally buried the, bomb maker next day. So making bombs-" could not be called a “cushy” or safe job. - -Af ter making several bombs the pro­ fessor instructs the platoon In throw­ ing them. He takes a “jam tin” from the fire step, trembling, a little, be­ cause it is nervous work, especially when new at it, lights the fuse on his striker. The fuse begins to “sizz” and sputter and a spiral of smoke, like that from a smoldering fag, rises from it. The platoon splits In two and ducks around the traverse' nearest to- them. They don’t like the looks and sound of the burning fuse. When that fuse begins to smoke and “sizz” you want to say good-by to it as sOon., as possible, so Tommy with all his might chucks it over the top and crouches against the parapet, waiting for the explosion. Lots of times in bombing the “jam tin” would be picked up by the Ger­ mans, before It exploded, and throws back at Tommy with dire results. After a lot of men went W est in this manner an order was issued, reading something like this: “To all ranks in the British army: After igniting the fuse and before W „ii? I V p * /IAl Uv '4'' V*;*', ddenee of (he thrower, In that hn knows It will hot explode until t o leased from his grip. | ; It is a mechanical device^ with c lever, fitted into a slot a t the top, which extends half way6 around the circumference and is held in place at the bottom by a fixing pin. In this pin there is a small metal ring, for the purpose of extracting - the pin when ready to throw. You do not throw a bomb the way a baseball is thrown, because, when in a narrow trench, your hand is Uable to strike against the parados, traverse or parapet, and then down goes the bomb, and, In a couple of seconds or so, up goes Tommy. In throwing, the bomb and lever are grasped in the right hand, the left foot Is advanced, knee stiff, about one and a half its Iaigth to the front, while the right leg, knee bqnt, is carried sUghtly to the right T h e le fta rm is extended at an angle of 45 ^degrees, pointing In the direction the bomb is to. be thrown. This position is similar to that of shot putting, only that the right arm is extended downward. Then you hurl the bomb from you with an overhead bowling motion, the same as In cricket throwing it fairly high In the air, this in order to give the fuse a chance to burn down so that when the bomb lands, it immediately ex­ plodes and gives the Germans no time to scamper out of its range or to re­ turn i t As the bomb leaves your hand, the lever, by means of a spring, is projected into the air and falls harmlessly to the ground a few feet in front of the bomber. When the lever flies off It releases a strong spring, which forces the firing pin into a percussion cap. This ignites tfee fuse, vrito#, burns down and sets off the detonator, charged with fulmi­ nate of mercury, which explodes the main charge of ammonal. The average British soldier’is not an expert at throwing; it is a new game to him, therefore the Canadians and Americans, who have played baseball from the kindergarten up, take natu­ rally to bomb throwing and . excel In this act. A six-foot BngUsh bomber will stand In awed silence when he sees a Uttle five-foot-nothing Canadian outdistance his throw by several yards, I have read a few war stories of bomb­ ing, where basebaU pitchers curved their bOmbs when throwing them, but a pitcher who can do this would make "Christy” Mathewson look Uke a piker, and Is losing valuable time playing In the European W ar bush league, when he would “be able to set the “big league” on fire. We had a cushy time while at this school. In fact, to us it was a regular vacation, and we were very sorry when one morning the adjutant ordered us to report at headquarters for trans­ portation and rations to return to out units up the line. Arriving a t our section; the boys once again tendered us the glad mitt, but looked uskance at us out of the corners of their eyes. They could not conceive, as they expressed It, how a man conld be such a blinking idiot as to join the' Suicide club. I was begin­ ning to feel sorry that I had become a member of said club, and my Ufe to me appeared doubly precious. Now that I was a sure-enough bomber I was praying for peace and hoping that my services as such would not be required. Throwing Hand Grenades. throwing the jam-tin bomb, count slowly one! two I three!” This in order to give the fuse time enough to burn down, so that the' bomb would explode before the Germans could throw it back. Tommy read the order—he’ reads them all, but after he Ignited the fuse and It began to smoke—orders were- forgotten, and away she went in record time and back she came to the further discomfort of the thrower. Then another order was issued to count, “one hundred! two hundred! three hundred!” But Tommy didn’t care if the order read to count up to a thousand by quarters, he was going to get rid of that “jam tin,” because from experience be had learned not to trust It. When the powers that be realized that they could .not change Tommy they decided to change the type of bomb and did so—substituting the “hair tfriish,” the “cricket ball,” and later the Mills bomb. The standard bomb used in the Brit­ ish army is the “Mills.” It Is about the shape and-size of a large lemon. Al­ though not actually a lemon, Fritz in­ sists that it .Is; perhaps he judges It by the havoc caused by its1 explosion. The Mills bomb is made of steel, the outside of which is corrugated into 48 small squares, which, upon the explo­ sion of the bomb, scatter in q. wide area, wounding or killing any Fritz Who is unfortunate enough to be hit by.one of the flying fragments. Although a very destructive and ef- flctent bomb the "Mllitf* has tfie com CHAPTER XIII. My First Official Bath. Bight behind our rest billet was a large creek about ten feet deep and twenty feet across, and It was a habit Of- the company to avail themselves oI an opportunity to take a swim and at the same time thoroughly wash them­ selves and their underwear when on their own. We were having a spell of hot weather, and these baths to us were a luxury. The Tommies would splash around in the water and then come out and sit in the sun and have what they termed a “shirt hunt.” At first' we tried to drown the “cooties,” but they also seemed to enjoy the bath. One Sunday morning the whole sec­ tion was in the creek and we were hav­ ing a gay time, when the sergeant ma­ jor appeared op the scene. He came to the edge of the creek and ordered: "Come out of I t Get your equipment on, ‘drill order,’ and fall in for bath parade. Look lively, my hearties. You have only got fifteen minutes.” A howl of indignation from the creek greeted this order, but out we came. Disci­ pline is discipline. We lined up In front of our billet with rifles and bay­ onets (why you need rifles and bayo­ nets to take a bath gets me), a full quota of ammunition, and our tin hats. Each man had a piece of soap and a towel. After an eigLt-kilo march along a dusty road, with an occasional shell whistling Overhead, we arrived at a little squat fram e building upon the bank of a creek. Nailed over the door of this building was a large sign which read “Divisional Baths.” In a wooden shed in. -the rear we could hear a wheezy old engine -pumping water. The Joys .of the bath are de­ picted by Empey in the next In­ stallment. CTO BE CONTINUED.) Great, Writers-Lazy. Shelley had an indolent <veln.

We can hardly realize that of ail the children born in civilized countries, twenty-two per cent., or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirty-seven •per cent., or more than one-third, before they'are five, and one-half before they are fifteen I - YTe do not hesitate to say that a timely nse of Caatoria would save many of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say Uiat many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children's complaints contain more or less opium or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons.

DETAILS ALMOST TOO MEAGER Example of the Over-Simple Story aa. It Is Sometimes Told in Public Prints. One of the pet fancies of American newspaper men is that a news story should be told simply, clearly and with­ out unnecessary verbiage. However, it is possible to run this practice into the ground, as the contemporary ac­ count of the death of William Baffin makes evident. Baffin was the discov­ erer of Baflin bay, and some consider­ able citizen in his day. In his round of duty for old England it became nec­ essary to slap the Portuguese on the wrists, and he went ashore on the Ara­ bian gulf so to do. Eleanor Franklin ‘Egan digs up the story of his death among the archives, written by a con­ temporary, as follows: “M astef Baffin went on shore with his geometrical instruments for the better leveling of his piece to make his I shot, but as he was about the same he received a small shot from the castle into his belly, wherewith he gave three leaps, bv report, and died immediate­ ly.” Tliis is almost as meager of detail as the letter of George Beezer to his D o n ’ t N e g l e c t a B a d B a c k !

The Cornish is rather hard-meated, but, being very short- feathered, has its special place as a large meat-producing fowl In Souther­ ly sections where the more heavily feathered Brahma does not stand the summer well. Among the popular breeds of the general-purpose class there are also differences.in type, adapting breeds to different uses. The Plymouth Bock is generally regarded as the type meet­ ing the widest range of requirements in the general-purpose class. The W yandotte is a. little sm aller and earlier maturing, but still very well meated and easy to fatten.

Keep the stomach sweet and cool and free from too much acid —that’s about all that is neces­ sary. It’s not so much the diet as to keep the poison from start­ ing trouble. You can easily do this if you will just take a tablet or two of EAT0N1C after your meals. . EA TO N IC is the wonderful nen com pound th a t absorbs tbe harm­ ful gases and juices and almost in s ta n tly d riv es away stomach m isery. In stead of sudden and painful attack s of indigestion, after you begin using EATONIC you’ll for­ g et you have a stomach. And then w ill be no m ore heartburn, food repeating, sour stomach, gas pains, or that lumpy, bloated feeling yon have so often experienced after eating. Ttea. your appetite—you know how nardit is to satisfy in hot weather—eat one or two EATONIO Tablets a half hour be­ fore meals—and you will enjoy the re­ sults and feel better in every way. These are a few reasons why joo should start using EATONIC today and fortify your stomach against the chaace trouble this summer. It costs only* for a big package. Your druggist whoa you know and can trust, will prompS? refund your money if you are not more than satisfied. Best Pullets to Keep.

And the grand Oifl public doesn’t know the difference. AU “doctors” look alike to the sick man. It is strange. Nowhere does a char­ latan vsnture to practice law without arst qualifying for the right. Every­ where the affable charlatan conducts his healing business on sn equal foot­ ing with the legitimate practitioner. Health and life are cheap commo­ dities, for which no one la greatly con­ cerned. But property Is Valuable and must be protected. If you desire to get into the healing business but lack the time or inolina- tion to devote six Jrears or m or' to preparation, as demanded by the sta. }, then just call yourself a “non-medical doctor"—be sure to tack on 'the “doc­ tor.” for that is the open sesame to public confidence—EDd never mind the law.

This is just human nature. AU mankind loves to experiment upon itselt ’ Legislators are an anomalous insti­ tution. When a legislator plans to in­ troduce a bill he hopes to see enacted Into law, he strives to make it con­ form to the constitution. If the ques­ tion is of any importance he seeks legal advice about the wording and in­ tent of his bill. Never having studied Ilaw himself, he realizes- that an ex- jpert’s aid is valuable. But when a! legislator'seeks to in­ troduce a bill affecting the health of lU l constituents, dbes he consult the LOOK BENEATH THE STAMP. Your Health Is th e . Most Precious Thing That You Can Possibly PoweSB. Do Not Trust It in the Care of a Faker. doctors about the purpose of the law? No, he fires right ahead, and puts the law on the statute books. Legislators are an anomaly. W ith­ out having even a moderate knowl­ edge of the subject of health and hy­ giene they feel, com m ent to make laws regulating, or Sfecting these vital matters. And in the estimation of the average politician the advice and opinions of an uneducated or half- baked healer who has a sure system to exploit is quite as weighty and in­ fluential as the advice or opinion of a ■man skilled in. the art of preventing and curing disease. Thus It happens that the title “Doctor,” as used by healers, no long­ er signifies anything. '.‘Doctors” are practice you can put it over all right The average district attorney will go to any extremity to evade .the duty the duty of prosecuting an illegal prac­ titioner. “Medicine.” The all-wise courts are still wrangling over the significance oi the word. There are a lot of old fos­ sils on the bench who insist that the “practice of medicine” means the giv­ ing of drugs, In spite of the fact that nine-tenths of a physician^ work Is other than the prescribing of drfegs. As long as this sort of quibbling re­ mains sound legal sense,' last so long will the public be deceived by the nu­ merous incompetents and' pretenders who unhesitatingly take upon then) selves the title of "doctor.” HEALTH IS WEALTH B bt) Qw STATE BOARD OF .-HYGIENE Puzzle: Find The Felon “A- yesy ago I had a felon.

That Is alge­ braic—a little too difficult for many plain folks to understand'. Felon — poultice'.— danger— perma­ nent deformity or permanent trouble. That is neither arithm etic nor alge­ bra, but blind gambling. A felon is a deep Infection. Usually the pus-producing germs are upon or underneath the periosteum, which is the protective and nourishing covering of live bone. If pua accumulates here, or even in the deeper soft tissue of the linger, the patient will suffer great pain. If the pus is under the perios­ teal membrane, it will strip this nour­ ishing membrane away from the bone, and the result of that Is neorosis or death of the bone. W hen dead hone is -present there is certain to be pro­ longed trouble from a sinus or running sore—the condition' described by the correspondent. __As apon as pain, swelling, redness and localized heat or inflammation ap­ pear, that is the time to have the felon opened. And net “lanced.” Lancing is old stuff, painful, brutal, Inefficleut; it is the half-way measure of the timid.

By GERTRUDE ATHERTON, Author of “The Californians," "The Conqueror,” “The Bell In . the Fog," Etc. A few days ago an American whose loyalty has been’ undevlating from the beginning of the war said to m e: “If • the Germans win I shall become an Immediate convert to their Kultur, arguing that since th e y had won against such fear­ ful, odds,- and w ith " practically the whole world lined up against them, their theory of life and con­ d u c t must be right and o u r s wrong.” Gertrude Atherton. The In c I d e n t w o u ld not be worth mentioning If it were not for the reflection that the American race worships Success. For generations it has toadied to wealth, no m atter how ill-got ton, and every man who achieves power, by whatever devious ways, is secretly envied and openly courted. The majority of Americans are easy going, Indifferent, unidealistic and not very clever. They are also Intensely personal and only ask to be let alone. It is possible that the mass, there­ fore, uiiless it has a real awakening, would, provided the Germans, In the remote event of victory, were adroit enough to leave them a large amount of Individual liberty, shrug their shoul­ ders and say: “Well, guess they must be right or they couldn’t win out. Nothing to do but come round. Times change anyhow.” “Abominable Prospect." This is an abominable prospect, but It Is to be faced. Our world, over here, In the event of German domination, would be divided into two classes— mean converts and proud Irreconcila- bles—for even In this new and com­ posite country there are enough men and women with lsigli ideals and In­ violate souls to despise a race with­ out a gleam of spirituality, of sports­ manship, of decency and good man­ ners, In whom cunning has t,aken the place of intelligence, and. that wins only by driving Its millions of cowed subordinates to mathematical slaugh­ ter. One cannot' even respect such a race enough to hate it. It is as if one had been attacked by a herd of wild animals from the jungle. Those that gscape being devoured may at least withdraw as far as possible, not re­ mould themselves into a semblance of wild beasts with a lust for human fleBh. "Cock-Sureness a Bluff.” I have not the faintest notion that the German's will win. All the proba­ bilities are against it. Moreover, if one projects his mind forward it is In­ conceivable that history can read that way. The general conditions of the world are not what they were In the Fifth Century—that is to say, unless the idea grew Insidiously that It was the destiny of the Germanic race to win and rule the earth; In other words, that it was the destiny of Earth to re­ vert to the Fifth Century and begin over again. It is incredible that such a thought should take possession of any educated man’s mind, but the trouble is that our famous (and offen­ sive) cock-sureness is only a bluff. As a race we are not really sure of our­ selves. We prove that by blindly ac­ cepting the European-made reputation and hesitating to create and come out boldly for our own. Those of us that Dhink and have the power to visualize (lie future must be on the alert every moment to counteract tbis tendency of an uncrystallized race to accept the success %f might as a m atter of course and unconsciously adapt Itself to the “Inevitable.” We must be known as the IRltECONCIT.ABI.ES, and if we take a definite uncompromising stand there will be only one result—the men of real courage who might otherwise look upon a new future “philosophical­ ly” will -not only wake up under the direct example, but will be ashamed to be reckoned as mere numbers In the great mass of sheep or convicts. There Is no such insidious lowering of morale threatened as this, because it Is not of German, Pacifist or Socialist origin. It Is born, of common human weakness and national snobbery. The result will be a vast mass of inertia, and only a party of sleepless Irrecon- cllables wjll combat and diminish it. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * . ** W hat did SOD do to win the *. * war? , ~ it * * * When our brave •'oys come back * * and ask you this question, what * * will be your answer? * * **.

THE PEOPLE’S RIGHTS MAINTAIN; UNAWEP BY INFLUENCE AND VOLOMN XX. UNBRiBED BY GAIN.” MOCKSVILLE. NORTH CABtOUNA.; WEDNESDAY. JULY 31. 1918. Shall There Be Any Politics Dor* ing The War? Union Republican. Mr. Editor: There ia some agi­ tation upon the question. “Shall we have any politics in our election this fall?” This comes from the fact that we have a War to win and some think by eliminating politics both parties will work harder for the success of the war. It is the duty of every citizen to vote for those men and measures that he thinks beBt for our coun­ try. This duty cannot be shirked without injury to our government. It is more important in time of war than in lime of peace because more is at stake. I take it for granted that in this ctisiB all men are pa­ triots and both Bepubiicans and Demucrats are equally loyers and tlefeuders of our country and ene inies of our foes. Then the issue is, what men and what party cau best serve our country now! Ol course upon this issue men differ. Then how cau thiB difference of opinion be expressed except at the bitlloi? Then in order to get an in telligent expression from the peo pie they must know about .the is sues and about the men who pro pose to enact these issues into law. Men differ greatly upon the me­ thods necessary to win this war, to raise revenue, etc., and some may think the Bepublicans can do it better, others think the Democrats can. Appeal to reason from any angle you may and you get back to the fundamental fact that we are a government of par ies in war and in peace and that there can be no final solution of any-issue until the people speak their minds through their partita. Therefore to get rid of politics is to get rid of representative gov­ ernment under our laws and con­ stitution. It is possible and probable that the issues of the war may evolve new parties and principles. The Civil War was the cradle of the Bepubiican party and the grave of the W hig party. Lincoln was elected by northern Democrats and the majority of his cabinet were formerly Democrats. There are some who think there Bhonld be a non-partisan cabinet at this time but there is not- and as long as ihere is not, there w ill. be two strong parties, both standing for Old Glory with equal zeal, and Iioth fighting for every possible partisan advantage that they can get from every souico. The elections in Wisconsin and other states show that the admin­ istration will do all it can to secure a partisan success even during the war. There cau be no local con­ fusion of parties as long as the na­ tional parties are aggressive in- their partisanship. With all we have and hope to have now in the balance, with the Germans thundering at our owii forts, with over a million Bepub licau and Demociaiic boys now in Brance1 both parties must • do all they can for our country. The on­ ly issue is, what party can best serve our eountry in this crisis? Il your faith is pinned to the Be. publican party, if you think it ca­ pable of ruling in time ot war, if you believe your boys in the tieuches safe under its fostering caIe,—iu a word can this party govern us under a great stress bet­ ter than its opponent? , lfyou so believe it is your duty ils a patriot and a true American- to do all you can for its success. If you think otherwise then you’ should vote otherwise. In the early days of the Repub- lie there was hut one party—the federalists. Washington stood f°t the country—not a party! Jefferson and Hamilton are the fathers of two achqols of. .political thought, the former representing the importance of a strong reliance on local government, the latter the importance of a centralized government. Here the two domi­ nant parties today got their paren­ tage. Jefferson was then a Re­ publican in name and Hamilton a Federalists. In latter days both parties have wandered far from their birth-rights. The party of Jefferson now per­ sonifies a centralized government in contradiction to a people’s or localized government. State right have been wiped off the map of history by the party now in pow. er. Everything eminates at and comes from Washington—Wash­ ington is the states-wide child la­ bor laws, piohibition IawB, rail­ road legislation, woman suffrage, etc. But the wide and fundamen­ tal difference between the two par. ties today is that the Democrats believe in free trade, their oppo­ nents in protection. The people must choose between them 01) this issue. PATRIOTISM. Goucord, S '. 0 . The Joy of Living. To enjoy-life we must have good health.

Osborn’s charges againBt Henry Ford are quite ser ious. Just what he means by de­ claring that Mr. Ford’s taking, his seat in the. Senate would-, “ fie)' Vio i lation of a, criminal " law of the- United States” is not clear; it may refer to the Federal statute forbid ding any one from bolding office who is interested in Government contracts. The fact that Mr. Ford is profiting enormously by.the war' ought surely to debar him morally, if not legally. Mr. Osborn can find other instances of Mr. Ford’s breaking solemn promises besides that of Mt. Olivet College, which he cites. It would pay him, too. to inquire what rental lor his steam yacht Mr. Ford is receiving after having announced that lie was giv­ ing it to the Government and to recall Mr. Ford’s assertion that he was going to turn over to the Gov­ ernment his entire forrune for use during the war without interest— an event still to take place. Mr. Osborn might also inquire into Mr. Ford’s sudden turning adrift the group of savants he employed in his peace bureaus abroad. The truth is that Mr. Ford, despite his humane impulses, is totally unfit intellectually for the position, he seeks. We confess to utter iuabil ity to understand why Mr. Wilson desires his election—unless it is to have a Senator from Michigan who can be-counted 011 to vote as told.. —N. Y. Evening Post.

It is mighty hot to wander around but the law is, we must “ work or fight.” Some of us are too cowardly to fight aid too lazy to work. The work part applies to women as well as men and has iu all ages and in all sections that have accomplished any thing. The first thing I saw was ten fel­ lows lying OD the grass iu .the court house square, in the shade resting. There were nine colored and onn uncolored, ranging in age from 12 to 25 years. They all' Beemed healthy and some very stout. They sure were enjoying' that good shade, for the sun was shining hot and it waB aboiit3 o’clock. In spite of us, we wished we had been born rich or tired. We are told that wealth and' style never made a town or com uiuniiy, and it takes folks and hue tiers—men and women who know how and are not “ below” work. The bible says everj man, woman, boy and girl, rich or poor, learned or ignorant who are ableshali earn the bread they eat. If they don’t, they are Blackers. And that law has never been repealed. The best.’bible students say that Jazi- uess and idleness is a Bin. So Iar as learned, no such person has ev­ er entered Heaven. Abraham told the rich, fine dressed man, who woke np in hell, that he had had his good, easy times in this world. And that man was one of Abra­ ham’s leading (church) members. That parable teaches that - simply being numbered with the faithful won’t save, nor furnish water . in hell. ~ I went out into the working seek* •. ’ •••'-. jjuS:Itionr-W heEe-Ihey-W orkiandjTiirS^not' .below necessary and honest work; where tne ladjes as well as gentle men work and know how to- treat folks, lor they are one of the good folks. The gardens in that part oi the town aie tine and have been well workeo. We only saw one garden th a t' was grassy and was ioid it was a colored woman’s. We will bet it is not because she is1 lazy; but because she is too busy wanning and ironing to support nerselt and family—maybe a hus­ band or boy who is lying around iu the shade. Or she may be old and too feeble. In that case, these colored buys lying around ought to be made to go and work it out for her. A man who has two Bons in the war wauted to hire some negro uoys to help him hoe his field ot coru. They didn’t seem to have anything to do. Bless their iir.tiu, sweet geranium souls; they readily consented to help the poor iuau provided he would pay them the pitiable sum of 25 cents an hour. His boys are taken to the war to tight, and to expose their bodies to German bullets 2d hours a day at- less than ten cents an .hour. We believe in enforcing the law— “ work or fight.” There are enough idlers in the U. B. to crush the Germans in 24 hours if they were- taken and trained only three months. They would learu in that time, for they are very smart. ■ One that is smart euough 10 live with­ out work, can kill Germans with out getting hurt.—Burke County Times.

'Every window of the long troop- train was a frame ■ for the most splendid pieture of all-Am erican youths in khaki. They . were breaking camp for the Big Ttail. For some reason the train was waiting idly on the Long Island tracks. Another train—a regular —on the next track, came to a sland-still with a diminuendo shriek of airbrakes. Only the small space “ between tracks” se parated the two trains. In an .in stant windows went up: there was much laughter, banter and jokes in which the Kaiser figured promi­ nently. Iu one seat of the regular train was ati elderly woman. She was a tiny thing, pale-faced white- haired, but with an enexpressible tenderness in her wonderful gray eyes which someway hud not grown old with the rest of her. On her breast was a service pin with two stars. Bhe looked out of the open win­ dow, caught the eyes of the youcg private leaning out of the opposite -car and gave him lor greeting the most motherly sort of smile. That, smile tvas something more than even a glimpse of the fine soul in the frail body under the neat but laded black dress. It was the transfiguration of face. As if a great light had shown from some­ where and bathed her features with, a radiance. He smiled back at her. In - an other seat a man was handiDg a package ot cigarettes to eager bands in the other train. The old lady hesitated only for a minute. -itChem she opened her.,bag, took out a small puree, and. extracting a half-dollar she reached out of the window and spoke to the soldier: “ Will you please take this—to buy cigars—for you and the others?” ' Instinctively the Boldier drew back his hand to refuse, but he saw the light in the eyes of her. guessed the sacrifice she waB -mak­ ing, and his strong young fingers closed over the coin. .The old lady sank back iD her seat—happy. She might have been thinking of her own sons tor she glanced down at the pin on her breast. In the other train, the private had turned to his companions. There Was41Bilence for a minute. ThreeJtgads bent over while the soldier scribbled something on a piece of paper. Suddenly the train whistle blew twice. The wheels started to move. Hastily wrapping the paper into a ball the soldier leaned away out and tossed it into the old lady’s lap. Bhe looked up and smiled her good-bye, put a white thin hand out ot the window and waved it aB the bare­ headed youngsters passed ont of her life. It was several minutes before she picked up the ball of paper. She opened it slowly: In the mid­ dle was a gold-backed note. 1 It was for $100:00. Her thin breast rose to the full and with trembling bauds she quickly spread out the paper. Through a thickeniug mist of tears she read: My Dear Lady: Thanks for your kindness. I shall keep the half-dollar— for a luck piece. I will see - that the Iuiys here get all the cigars they want—and you can use the enclosed to send cigars to your own boys.

It is a striking illustration of this rapid development of the In­ dians th a t: many are serving in regiments whose white officers are decorated with the ribbon that marks the wearer as having seen active service against the Apache, the Sioux, the Cheyenne, and other Indian tribes of the mouLtains and plains'. Quite early in the preparations of the United States for war Red Fox James, Chief of the Blaekf'eet, made an eloquent appeal to he per mitted to lead his people, to war. Here is what the Cnief wrole: “From all over the West we stand ready to Bpring to -the' sad­ dle. We stand ready to protect the 1,400 iniles of border between the United States and -Mexico. Fifty thousand men who know th.e horse as np white rnau ever knew ii; fifty thousand men who can live where no white man has ever lived; fifty thousand IndianB who, when their hearts are in a cause, as our hearts arein this caUBe, would die for it as no other nation. Mr. Sec­ retary of War, call us to arms! Let us guard and fight for our country. We-promise you that not an alien foot shall ever cross the southern border to pillage or de­ stroy. We beg of you to give us the chanee to fight, to fight as a body ol our own peopie, and then give us what you have given to ev ery otner people who have come to these shores, the right of citizen ship, a right which is our birth right. My peopie were Americans before the kings and emperors were born who reigned over, the countries from, which your' forei; fathers - came. Mr.' Secretary. give ns the chance to fight, and then make us a part of the country Ior which we fight!” Red Fox shared the late of Colonel -Roosevelt. He was told that he and his fighters must come into the Army in the regular way. But the statement of Commissioner Sells and the appeal of Red Fos show that the Indians were doi alow to respond to the country’s call to arms. There are seven huu- dred Indians in training at Camp Bowiej Fort Worth, Texas. Military experts at one time de­ clared that the American Indian would never make a well-discip lined 6oldier, but when they do en list, I hey make the best of soldiers. However, they ptefer their own leaders and their own methods.

MeLemore resolution, but nevertheless, iu the last congressional campaign, was able to secure a letter of. endorse­ ment from President Wilson giving Iiim a pausing grade on the acid test of loyalty which in the case of Representative Leuroot was not tortbcoming. Since his re-election, Represen­ tative Keating voled against the declaration of war. against con­ scription, and against most of the other important ‘War measures which Representative Lenroot sup­ ported earnestly and yet came in for presidential criticism 011 his war record. Mr. Keating is opposed in the Democratic primaries by former Representative John Martin on the loyalty issue Here ia a case in which it is ah -. solutely up to the administration to show good faith by demanding of the Democratic voters of Mr. Keating’s district the defeat of this representative who has so sig­ nally failed to ‘'stand by the Pre­ sident.” . The fact that Representative Keating is close to the administra­ tion in many respects should nut cause hesitancy in this matter.

The echoes answer. “TV. S. S.” The prospects are getting brighter daily for the end of the great war. Germany is steadily losing out in men, provisions and ammunition, and without these three things suc­ cessful warfare cannot be waged. The Record believes the end is in sight. “TV. S. S.” The Record had hoped that a clean and decent campaign would be made this fall, but our hopes have gone flickering. Already many lies are being spread broadcast over the country about some of our county officers. The liar is one of the meanest things on the earth. ' “TV. S.

President Wilson says this is no time for political matters to be dis­ cussed, but there is one good Demo­ crat in Davie who will not agree with him.

Germany must bt licked and the Hohenzollerns kicked off the throne before we can even talk peace . without outraging oui self-respect. . TheGerman military ring must be broken and so shattered that it can never be reunited. Those wh( have been responsible for the rape of Belgium and France; those wht have been responsible for the heinous outrages upon the civilian popula tions overridden by Germany; those- who have been responsible for break­ ing the rules of war and using ga> in battle; those who have been re sponsible for torpedoing passengei vessels and hospital ships, and foi dropping aerial bombs on shore hos pitals; those who have been respon sible for the killing and maiming oi women and children in London anti Paris with aerial bombs: those wht have been responsible for breaking the most sacred treaties and obliga tions of nations—have placed them­ selves beyond the pale and cannot and must not be bargained with ii any peace arrangement. Those militaristic bandits of thi breed of Attilla who cold-bloodedly prepared to plunder the world ana enslave mankind, and to that nefa­ rious end planned to violate every human obligation and attribute oi duty, mercy and decency, are not fit to place their names to a .peace compact beside those o f. the heroes who shall, with sacrifice of blood and treasure, save the world from their clutches. Anyone proposing peace with Ger­ many before Kaiserism shall have been crushed out of existence should either be interned or be placed in an insane asylum for medical treat ment. There is but one way to peace, and that is the way to Berlin. It will be a long, hard, expensive and bloody road, but it is the only road, and when we shall have arrived at thAend of that road we shall have only a subjugated, suppliant, Kamerad calling populace to deal with, and the terms which we shall then make will not be the terms of any bargain, but merely terms im­ posed by us according to our ideas of justice Justice will make one inexorable demand on that occasion, and it will be that Germany shall bear the bur­ den of rebuilding and reimbursing Belgium and the desolated ,portions of Northern France in full measure and Alsace and Lorraine must be re stored to France. What other terms may be imposed will matter far less. “TV. S. S." News From Cooleemee. Rev. June Carter preached two excel­ lent sermons at the Baptist church Sun­ day.

ALONG MARNE AND SEVERAL OTHER SECTORS, STRUGGLE CONTINUES UNABATED. RETREAT IS NOT YET A ROOT IMPORTANT POINTS IRE TAKEN Expected That Enemy Will Succeed in Retreating in Orderly Line When Stand May Be Made. The Franco-American troops, con­ tinuing their pressure on the Ger­ mans in retreat from the Marne, have reached and crossed the Ourcq river and penetrated the town of Fere-En- Tardenois. one of the great German supply bases for the enemy troops in- ! 'i side the Soissons-Rheinw salient Meantime on the center of the al­ lied right wing, southwest of Rheims, attacks by the French have forced the enemy to give further ground and enabled the French to capture sev­ eral towns of strategic value and to draw their front appreciably nearer the high road which runs .northeast­ ward from Oormans to Rheims. On the extreme wings of the grad­ ually decreasing pocket—near Sois- cons and Rheims—the enemy, heav­ ily reinforced, is holding tenaciously to his ground realizing that successes there would result in a general, crum­ bling of his plans of defense against the locking up of his entire armies in­ side the big bag. The crossing of the Ourcq, even If only by advanced elements of the al­ lied forces, presages a general cross­ ing later on. The French official com­ munications thus far during the bat­ tle have been remarkably conserva­ tive in their estimates of the gains that daily have been made and it is indicated in unofficial dispatches that allied troops are considerably in ad­ vance of the line as announced offi- ciallv. Where the Germans are in retreat from the south the cavalry has been brought into the fighting and numer­ ous tanks and machine guns in pro­ fusion are everywhere harrying the enemy whose losses are heavy. Meantime, airplanes are flying over the retreating hordes dropping bombs- •while the big allied guns from the sides of the salient are- keeping up their intensive firing frctkn all .angles into the densely congested-area. The retreat of the enemy has by no means become a rout, and so long as the picked troops around Soissons and Rheims are able to keep well open the mouth of the bag through which the Germans are falling back it is expected that the greater portion of the armies of the crown prince will be suceessful in reaching in order the line where it is intended for them to turn and make a stand. Just where this stand will be made is problematical. More than half the pocket has been recaptured by the A1Hierican, French, British and Italiam troops opposing the enemy, and there have as yet been no signs of a let up in the retrograde movement. Considerable Fighting In Macedonia and Albania with Allies Hold­ ing the- Upper Hand. ■ The ninth day of the allied offensive on the Soissons- Rheims salient saw a lessening in the intensity of the battle along the western side of the salient, where only mutual bombardments were in progress. Along the Marne, however; and southwest of Rheims, the Franco-Americans, British and Italian troops were still at deadly grips with the enemy on various sec­ tors.- The Germans strove hard In the forest region north of the Marne to hold back the French and American troops, debouching from the woods in strong counter attacks. The enemy, however, everywhere was forced slightly further back to the north and the forests .now have been almost en­ tirely cleared of Germans. Southwest of Rheims heavy rein­ forcements evidently have been thrown along the front, where thq British, French and Italians are fight* log. In the immediate region- of Reuil, where the battle line turns sharply towards Rheims, the French have cap­ tured several, important points of vantage, including the village of Heuil and also advanced their line north­ ward, notwithstanding the violence of the German- counter move. Before the fighting died down along the western side of the Rheims-Sois- sons salient the villages of Ouichy Ie Chateau and Ville Monoire were cap­ tured by French and American troops. Big allied guns have been pulled up in this region and aj;6~ heavily shelling the sectors before them over which it is purposed to push forward for the. capture of Fere En Tardenois. In France and Flanders the British have been competed to withstand several violent attacks by the Ger­ mans, near Hebuterne and in the vi- j cinity.of Meteren. The enemy in -both ! sectors'w as repulsed with heavy£eas- ! ualties. j On the other battle ironts the mili- rtary activity is nominal, although con- ! slderable fighting; in Macedonia and I Albania with the allied troops holding j the upper hand. MAY BE SETTING STAGE FOR DECISIVE BATTLE FIVE AMERICAN ARMY’CORPS ARE ORGANIZED IN FRANCE Washington.—No additional Ameri­ can forces have been thrown into the Aisne-Marne battle as yet, General March said, although he announced the formation of two additional army corps, the fourth and fifth. The chief of staff explained, however, that the assignment of the 30 divisions which compose the five corps now or­ ganized to their respective higher units, did not mean that tHe corps uad been actually drawn’ together for operations. Members of the senate ' m ilitary committee learned from General March that the July movement of the troops to France probably would reach a total of 300,000, making a new rec­ ord. Incidentally the movement last week was put a t 50,000 men, or about one-half of what has been the rule. With the shipment of men last week the total number of troops embarking for France was 1,250,600. W ashington.—Behind the apparent lull in the struggle around the Aisne- Marne salient the high command of I the allied and German armies may be setting stage for the decisive battle of the war. In that event it seems more than likely to observers here that the fourth anniversary of the begin­ ning of the world conflict will see a flame of fighting raging from east of Rheims to the North sea; but with the crucial conflict in pi ogress somewhere' Just north of the historic Marne where the Germans have twice tasted the bitterness of defeat. There is nothing i.s yet In unofficial reports, however, to r In official ad­ vices so far as known, to show, the plan of General Foch. Flickers of fighting have occurred to the north that may have more ' han local signifi­ cance behind them. There is some evidence of a feeling here that the tim e lias not yet come when a suffi­ cient American army has been assem­ bled in France to w arrant passing def­ initely to offensive tactics. It- was recalled that G enenl March recently indicated to membeis of Congress that this was not to be exgetfted until later in the year. The si-nation has chang­ ed greatly at the front since then, however, and only developments . there will show what decision has been made. COMMITEE ADOPTS GRADUATED SCALE Washington.—The graduated excess profits tax of from 30 to 80 per cent on net income beyond exemptions practl- clly as adopted. Treasury experts have advised the committee that by doubling the pres­ ent tax on liquors, tobcco, soft drinks, admissions to amusementB, transporta­ tion, clubs and excise on such articles as automobiles and perfumes, the pres­ e n t revenue from those sources ol 1961,000,000 can be doubled. TITANIC TASK TO FEED OUR CANTONMENTS Washington.—Feeding soldiers iff the cantonmentes and abroad is taking J large proportion of the country’s arm products. August- requirem ents t,le army, the department of agri- nnn re estimaIed will call for 25,157,- 00 Pounds of potatoes and 1,7331,000 Pounds of onions. One-third, of tie 0Wput of canned tomatoes, 25 per, cent £he total output of canned peas, corn and string beans and one-half ^ of dried peaches. BRITISH CRUISER AND DESTROYER' TORPEDOED London.—-The British armed cruiser Marmora was torpedoed and sunk by a German submarine,, according to an announcement made by the British admiralty. Ten members of the crew of the vessel are missing and it is pre­ sumed they were killed. The admi­ ralty also announces that a British torpedoboat destroyur ran ashore and later sank. . Thirteen of hei crew are missing and it is presumed they were drowned. GERMAN EMPEROR THINKS FINAL DECISION IS NEAR The Hague.—"The hardest part of the Job is still before us- The enemy knows the war is about to reach the point of - de­ cision and is summoning all his strength for a final . defense and counter offensive.’’ This was the observetion of the German em­ peror recorded by Karl Rosner, in the Berfsn-LokQl Anzeiger and ap­ parently Aade on tb9 eve of General Foch’s offensive. .' LOSES ARE AMERICANS ARE CREDITED WITH ONE-FOURTH OF LOSSES IN­ FLICTED ON GERMANS.I FOCH’S TRAP MAT BE SPRUNG Will Foes Yield to Fate and With­ draw, or Continue the Fight ' to a Finish?. W ith the American Army on the Aisne-Marne Front.—W ith the sides of the Soissons-Rheims sack- coming steadily closer together, the German crown prince’s geneials are driving their men mercilessly in an effort to hold them off long enough to extricate the armies threatened at the bottom, north of the Marne. The American and French troops are never far behind the retreating forces, and the vicious rear guard ac­ tions are not sufficiently resistant to enable the Germans to proceed in the orderly m anner planned. A t Dormans, north of the ‘Marne and east of Chateau-rThierry, the Germans counter-attacked, taking the position, but weer promptly driven out. * Minor advances have been made by the allies in the woods in that part of the sector The Americans have occupied Cour- poil on the road to Fere-En-Tarde- nois, and the French positions have been advanced until Qulehy-Le-Cha- teau is dominated by the guns. It Is estimated unofficially that the enemy losses are more than 200,000, of which 50,000 were inflicted by the Americans. The prisoners alone num­ ber over 20,000 and the losses in dead and wounded are appalling. Should the Franco-British forces be able to enlarge their advance mate­ rially, th&> great trap might be finally sprung by final, overwhelming blows on both sides. . In that event, all of the victories pictured in tonight’s ru­ mors might he-well realized. To the cool judgment of army offi­ cers, however the situation did not warrant, on the basis of any informa­ tion available at a late hour, the as­ sumption that the time had come when the jaws of Foch’s great vise might be cnished together. Knowing wffat they-know of* the strength of tie ' Germans massed to hold back the menacing flank attacks, they believed it entirely possible for the enemy,.to escape northward. The question In their minds was whether he had final­ ly determined to retreat and surren­ der all the ground gained in his ef­ forts since he struck the French lines on the Chemin-Des-Dames last May, or had resolved to fight it out to a finish where he now stands or on lines slightly withdrawn from their present position near the Marne. Late advices .indicated that further withdrawal was* In progress along the southern loop of the line. Franco- American advances north of Dormans shows that points to which the enemy has clung tenaciously for days are being taken. .Pressure all along the line from Jaulgonne to the Ourcq probably has made these most south­ erly German positions untenable, it was said.

COUNTER-ATTACKS ARE VIOLENT WHITEHEAD ELECTED PRES’! . Quaged by War Maps the Situation Considerable Gains Are Being Made of the Germans Seems to Be Extremely Hazardous SIX NEW DIVISIONS TO BE ORGANIZED AT EARLY DATE W ashington.—“W ith reference to the -American program,” General March said,- "I have directed to be or­ ganized in the United States six new divisions - during the month of July. These six divisions will be organized at Camps Dgyens, Meade, Sheridan, Custer, Funston apd Lewis, and will be numerically designated ffom 0 up tol4. In the organization of these divisions, we Intend to use as a nu­ cleus in each one of them two regular regiments of infantry which have been taken from the regular regiments still left in the United States guarding util­ ities, quietly replacing them during the last month or two 'by home suards. These regiments are now moving into the designated camps as the-national army. MOUTH OF POCKET REDUCED TO 21 MILES IN WIDTH London.—British and French troops have advanced to Gueux and Mery Premeey, in the battle sector just jest of Rheims, according to infor- ration received here from the battle front. The new line shows an ad­ vance of about two miles toward Fismes. The mouth of the pocket is now only 21 miles wide and the whole distance between the two sides is under the range .of the entente al­ lied guns. • • TO STOP PROFITEERING IN CEREAL PRODUCTS W ashington.—Fair prices to govern the sale of flour and'm illing products at every milling point In the United States have been worked out with a view to stopping all profiteering.

Driving, slowly, hut surely, south of Solssons, the American and French troops have pushed their fronts- fur­ ther eastward toward that part of the Soissons-Chateau-Thierry railway line that is still in the hands of the enemy, and further south, along both sides of the Ourcq Tiveri and the road leading to Fere En Tardenois, Germany’s great storehouse for the supply of her trops to the south, important penetra­ tions into enemy-heid territory, have been made until the maximum point where the alies are fighting near Coin- ey Is about 10 i-2 miles from their point of departure- last Thursday. In the Marne region nortl\ of Cha- teau-Thierry, the Americans and French have m et with the fiercest kind of resistance, for here the Ger­ man machine gunners and infantry­ men are striving hard to stay their progress in an endeavor to extricate large, numbers of the German ‘forces who are in danger of capture* and also to save part of the great num­ ber of guns and quantities of war materials which it is impossible to get out except by the high roads over the, undulating and wooded country. The advantage in the fighting, how­ ever, has rested with the amalgamat­ ed allied troops, wha have pushed on northward past the village of Epieds and ousted the Germans from the greater part of the Chatelet forest. •In the region between the Marne and Rheims, where the German crown prince has brought forward large num­ bers of picked reinforcements to stay the„.British, French and Italians, his warriors are meeting with hard usage. Following up the advances of the French and Italians, the’ British im­ mediately to the southwest of Rheims, apparently have begun a movement which-possibly portends good results. Here the British have overcome a strong counter attack and, following it, a violent bombardment, and struck the Greman line at Vrigny for a good­ ly gain. Guaged by the war maps, the new inroads to the allied troops into the German-held territory necessarily add further to the extreme gravity of the situation of the Germans inside the huge pocket. By French and Italian-Troops In Albania.. LATEST PEACE TALK OF GER­ MANS DOES NOT FOOL ANYBODY Amsterdam.^—-Germany .has made suggestions for a peace conferemje to the Spanish goverr-ment, says the socialist-Vorwaerts1 of Berlin: The suggestions are: "First, Germany wants no annexa­ tions or indemnities in the west. Second, the peace treaties with Russia and Rumania may not be -ques­ tioned. . “Third, the principles of self-deter­ mination 'of peoples has not 'been dis­ cussed by may be settled at.the peace conference where the fate of Belgium also is to be settled. • “Fourth, the Balkan question Ie to be settled around the conference tabler “Fifth, the freedom of the seas, the dismantling of Gibraltar and the Suez canal and the right' for Germany to" use coaling stations. “Sixth, the colonial question is to be settled on the basis of the status quo.” The Vorwaerts considers this a very reasonable peace program. .. The entente allied troops on the Soissons-Rheims salient contlne to gain ground, both on the western side of the battlefront and on the south along the Marne atnd towards Rheims, notwithstanding tile increasing resist­ ance of the Germans and the bad weather that is prevailing on the southern part of the line. While the latest gains recorded aT€ not as great, on the whole, as those of previous days, they nevertheless have added positions of strategic value tc the allied line for the further prosecu­ tion of the effort to clear the ‘erritory of the enemy. In the fighting more prisoners, guns and war stores have fallen into the hands of the American, French and British troops. As a diversion the French, to the northwest, midway !between Soissons and Rheims, have delivered a' blow against the German line which has been productive of excellent results. Striking on a front of about four miles, General Foch’s troops penetrat­ ed the eenmy lines for a distance oi aibout two miles and gained the heights dominating the valley of the Avre river and the plains 1Jieyond. Fif­ teen hundred Germans were captured by the French. South of Soissons the drive of the Franco-American forces toward Fere- En-Tardenois has pushed further back the Germans on -both sides ol the Ourcq river. South of the river, notwithstanding fierce resistance, the allied forces reached the railroad line between Marmentieres and Coincy trunjnjng southward to ChateaurThi- erry, and passed on beyond it. This advance brings the French and Amer­ ican troops relatively to within, seven miles of Fere-En-Tardenois and also gives them a dominating position for big gun play over the eastern section -of 'the-railw ay line running from Ar- inentieres to Fere-En-Tardenois. The counter-attacks of the Germans continue to -be delivered with great violence and with heavy gun and ma­ chine gun fire "behind them. Where they are forced to give ground the Germans are leaving numerous ma­ chine gun nests in the open> to harass their enemies. THE AMERICAN ARM YIS. • NOW GOVERNING FORCE FEDERA LCONTROL OF WIRES TO TAKE EFFECT JULY 31 Washington.—Acting under the au­ thority recently conferred by Con­ gress, President Wilson issued a proc­ lamation taking all telephone and telegraph lines under government op-’ eration and control. The President did not Include wireless systems, because the navy already -is in control of them; and .he also did not include ocean cables. The navy already Is In practical control of the cables, through its censorship. NAVY PERSONNEL NOW 8TRIKES 500,000 MARK Washington.—Secretary Daniels an- nounced that the navy has passed the half million mark!

"Sr';,- Washington.—The American army going forward in a constantly increas­ ing stream is the governing factor in restoring the initiative to the allied forces. Plans are therefore taking shape rapidly-at the war department to accelerate and enlarge the Ameri­ can military program. It Is now virtually certain that Gen­ eral Foch will have at least 2,000,000 American troops to supplement his allied armies -before the present fight­ ing season closes. Secretary Baker announced today the war department’s new program embraces enlarged army appropriations, modification of the draft ages to increase the reservoir ol fighting men and plans for a larger mobilization of the arm y'than any yet undertaken. NAVY DEPARTMENT MAKING INVESTIGATION OF BOMBS Washington.—While awaiting the result of the official inquiry into the failure of naval airplane bombs to ex- 1)1 ode when dropped In the attack by naval aviators on the German sub­ m arine off the New England coast Sun- day,-the navy department is making a thorough inspection of its entire stock of these projectiles to determine the reliability of detonation. GERMAN NEWSPAPERS ADMIT THAT OFFENSIVE HAS FAILED* Washington:—An official dispatch from Switzerland says the German newspapers not. only admit that the German offensive has failed, but- ex­ press fear that General Focb has built up an army of reserves that will en­ able him to wrest the offensive from the German high comand. The Frank-' furter eZltung asserts that the entire strategical plan of Hindenburg is com­ promised by the attack on the Aisne- Marne front. TO MAKE CZERNtN PREMIER WILL DISPLEASE GERMANY London.—According to reports from Viena published in Berlin, it is prob­ able that Emperor Charles will ask Count Czemin, the former Austro-Hun­ garian foreign minister, to form a new Austrian cabinet, say»- an Exchange Telegraph dispatch. The. conservative press of Berlin is urging the German government to give Austria’ a hint 'h at for her to make Count Czernin premier would not be acceptable to Germany. ' E D IW E iu o r ; RUE PROfflHN CONVENTION OF N. C. PRESS AS* SOCIATION AT ASHEVILLE' WAS UNUSUALLY LARGS. Sherrill Again Secretary—George Creel and Senator Overman Make * Addresses W ith a good attendance and one ot the best programs in the history ot. the organization, the North Carolina Press Association m et In Asheville July 24 and 25 for a two days’ con­ vention. The features of the program were - speeches by George Creel, chairman of the Committee ot Public Informa­ tion, Washington, and Senator Over­ man. President Martin’s annual address, an address on “W ar Savings Stamps’* by Judge Gilbert T. Stephenson, ot Winston-Salem, and the annual ora­ tion by W. T. Bost, of Raleigh, were enjoyable numbers ot the first day. Dr. J. Y. Joyner, State superintend­ ent of schools, In an address, urged ,the editors to work for six months' ■ . school terms throughout the State. An important step was taken for th e . press of the State wherf the editors di­ rected the formulating of a resolution asking the State legislature to place legal advertising on the same basis as commercial advertising. Previous to the instruction. for the resolution, M. L. Shipman, commissioner of labor and printing, of Raleigh, and H. B. Varner, publisher of The Dispatch, Lexington, spoke on .“Legal Advertis­ ing,’’ maintaining that under present arrangements the publishers do not get just compensation for their space. “The Editor’s Duty in W ar Times” was discussed by T. W. Chambliss, Times, Asheville; W. H. Harris, Ob­ server, Charlotte, and Archibald John­ ston, Charity and Children, Thomas- ville. R. F. Beasley, Journal, Monroe, spoke on "Democracy in Action.” The executive committee reported new members as follows: J. Leake Carroway, Charlotte; W. G. Campbell, Winston-Salem; W. J. Martin, Ra­ leigh; L. M. Allen, Gastonia; Bion H. Butler, Southern- Pines. Officers elected for the - following year are as follows: President, Z. W.

EMPLOY­ MENT SERVICE PERFECTED The organization of the United States EmpoIyment Service in North Carolina is about perfected now for - the mobilization after August I ot unskilled labor in North Carolina for the benefit of employers, contractors and industries engaged in war work and em ptying more than one bun* dred men. STATE BOARD SUCCESSFULLY COMBATS SPREAD OF TYPHOID The nine counties in North Carolina which are co-operating with the state board of health through the -bureau ot county health work were particularly active during the past month in their efforts to combat the spread ot typhoid fever, the great scourge ot the sum­ m er months. These large and popu­ lous counties contain large negro pop­ ulations. These counties reported 46 cases of typhoid fever for the month or less than five per cent. MANY COLLEGE MEN ARE IN SERVICE OF AVIATION North Carolina colleges have sent many of their men to the front. W hile comparative figures would be difficult to obtain, it is practically certain that ’ if they could be had they would show North Carolina well up to the front in this respect. Estimated figures for the various colleges are as-follows: The University in excess ot one thousand; State College, 700; Trinity Qollege, iver 500; Davidson College, 400; Wako Jot sst, 400; Elon, 400. - f- 15 | ^ _ . _ b^ r~j t' - ~ ^ „.w., ,^-- w,. >r . , :•- ■ ••••■'■:: ::-.:Y ^ ^ '" " " " " tH ED A VIEJEa;C O ED ,M O C K SVILLE,-N .C .

A crowd estimated at Irom two to three thousand enthusiastic men, women and children greeted Gov. T. W. BIckett at Moore’s Creek battle­ ground, sear Atkinson, on the. occas­ ion of the anniversary of the famous revolutionary hattle and heard a mas-' terly address appropriate to the his­ toric occasion and place. A picnic dinner was served, and there was plenty for everybody. Patriotic mu­ sic was furnished by a Wilmington hand, and dancing followed the prin­ cipal feature of the day. Governor Bickett went back into history for the theme of his address and discussed the relations between the United States and England. He condemned the pro-German propaganda that seeks to stir up enmity against Great Britain on ac­ count of the colonial troubles that led up to the Revolution and also the war of 1812. The cordial friendship now existing between the old mother country and her daughter on this side of the world, was set forth, and the governor showed why this should be. On more than one occasion he declar­ ed England had proved her friendship for the United States, and all long had been of great help to this country. The address was replete with his­ torical facts, and touching on the present situation the governor arous­ ed the patriotism of the great audi­ ence to a high pitch. For two hours he preached straight and undiluted Americanism to them, and it was de­ clared to have been the most notable of the many addresses that have been delivered on this historic spot in past years. Bankhead Highway Meet, A meeting of the directors of the Bankhead National Highway Associa­ tion will be held ■ in Charlotte on Au­ gust 16 to consider the report of the pathfinders. The report favors the Piedmont route by Reidsville antf Greensboro and the Richmond route ■by Raleigh and Durham but designates the Rialeigh and Durham route for a •military highway. The former is 77 miles shorter. The Richmond route, according to Col. tSaieham Cameron, will connect the capitals of North Car­ olina and Virginia and will connect North Carolina direct with Hampton Roads naval base. The eastern Toute guarantees the extension to Norfolk toy Williftmston crossing the Roanoke river. The selection of the eastern TOiitet Colonel Cameron said, was se­ cured by the selection of three direc­ tors favorable to the Richmond route at the Little Rock convention held Tecently. The efforts of Colonel Cam­ eron have been' responsible in large m easure for the success of the Rich­ mond route, which will pass by Pet­ ersburg, Dinwiddie, Oxford, Franklin- ton and Neuse. Bidding for Airpiane Plant That other sections of North Caro­ lina are bidding for the airplane plant and aviation field which may be lo­ cated in Raleigh in connection with a contract the government has let to the Carolina Aircraft Company of this city, was the-information secured fol­ lowing a visit to Raleigh of prominent Goldsboro capitalists. As a result ol agitation on the part of Goldsboro business men who have become in­ terested in the important war indus­ try, the location of the airplane plant and aviation field of the United States army is undecided. In other words, Raleigh is still as near landing this hlg army plant as Goldsboro, Durham or Fayetteville. Additions to Western. Board. The names of J. A. Bell of Char­ lotte and W. R. Sloan of Statesville have been- recommended to Provost Marshal General Crowder for appoint­ m ent as ,,additional members of the . western district board at Statesville. Governor Bickett has forwarded the names to Washington. The appoint­ m ent of the two additional members, of the district exemption board will Increase the personnel to seven. Mr. Sloan'has previously been chief .clerk and his promotion will create a va­ cancy. . $125,000 for Peace Institute. There was a gathering of represen- : tative people and the friends of Peace Institute from the town and churches of this section of the State, held at the Presbyterian church, Raleigh, at which plans were formulated for a si­ multaneous campaign for raising $125,000 -to.. $150,000 -for Peace Insti­ tute. Much interest wag'm anifested by all present and an'evident deter­ mination to make the campaign a suc­ cess. It was decided best and easi- ■ est way to raise amount' was by -sub­ scriptions through building, and IoanV Site .for Home for Women. Admirably designed buildings ex­ cellently equipped, including a fine .library and other desirable features, located on a farm of 224 acres in the sandhill section of Moore county, was procured by the directors for the State Home and Industrial School for Women, provided for by the last leg­ islature through an appropriation of $25,000. This work of reclamation through state support is to be. started at once, without the delay which would be necessary if a new plant were to be erected for the purpose. Dr. A. A. McGeachy, Charlotte, is chairman of the board of directors. This site and plant Is the school property of Dr. Henderson, located four miles from Samarcand, a station on the Norfolk-Southern. Dr. Hender­ son, who came from Vermont four years ago ana established his school, decided to go to SVance for rehabili­ tation work, after the young men of his faculty went into war service and the difficulties of maintaining such a school for boys in war tiine became manifest. He closed the plant and sold furnishings’aifd livestock, library and bedding... The property is provide ed with a fine water system with standpipe, baths and other conveni­ ences. Miss Agnes McNaughton of Penn­ sylvania has been chosen superin­ tendent and will at once assume charge in preparation for opening the instiution. Guard Against Typhoid and Smallpox. The importance of health and the prevention of communiea1-’ disease is stressed by the U n it.j l ites Pub­ lic Health Service which points out the relation between health conserva­ tion and labor efficiency. Especially it is urged that such communicable diseases as typhoid fever and small­ pox be prevented, the following state­ m ent-being issued:' “From the standpoint of health con­ servation and labor efficiency, it is imperative that such communicable diseases as smallpox and typhoid fever be prevented in ^ l establishments m anufacturing‘materials for the fed­ eral government. This is of special importance at the present time to view of the constant movement of labor from one locality to another, which facilitates so greatly the spread of disease. "The experience of every civilized country shows that complete protec­ tion is furnished against smallpox by vaccination, and temporary immunity against typhoid by inoculation with typhoid vaccine. ‘In order to prevent such diseases, upon the recommendation ot the sur­ geon general ot Cle United States Public Health Service, persons in charge of plants engaged in the man­ ufacture of war m aterials are urged to require every person employed un­ der them to be vaccinated against smallpox and ino.culated against ty­ phoid fever, as is now done in the case of our m ilitary forces. “The medical staff should be in­ structed to take the necessary steps for the enforcement of these meas­ ures. The need for them has already bee© demonstrated by the occurrence ot isolated outbreaks of smallpox in establishments engaged in the pro­ duction of war materials through im­ ported lalbor. These outbreaks not only cause the quarantine of the per­ sonnel, 'but >.also interfere seriously with the production of m aterial nec­ essary to the conduct of the war. “The Public Health Service is ready to co-operate in enforcing these meas­ ures, and any persons calling at any of the service stations will, on re­ quest, be vaccinated against small­ pox or typhoid fever free of cost.” Am.

Clne North of Chateau Thierry Pushed Eastward—Huns Lose Heavily In Fierce Fighting East and West of Reims. By EDWARD W. PICKARD. Up to the hour of writing, Germany’s •supreme oTort” to win a Teutonic victory by smashing through the al­ lies’ lines has been a dismal and costly failure. The Huns had gained nothing worth mentioning, and had lost perhaps 100.000 men. More than thht, it ap­ peared- they had lost their last chance to demolish the defenses of the allies, and had sustained a defeat that would play havoc with the morale of their troops and with the support of the civilian population of Germany, As soon as the German offensive seemed safely checked, General Poch took the Initiative and put on a drive of his own that sent a thrill through all the allied countries. French and American troops, secretly and careful­ ly concentrated, were launched in a great attack on a twenty-five mile front .between Belleau wood and the Aisne river. The. enemy was taken completely , by surprise, and the allies, following, a tremendous rolling bar­ rage, advanced swiftly taking on the first day more than twenty towns and villages, many, cannon and large num­ bers of prisoners. They then were close to Soissons', commanding it with their guns,, and were in the outskirts of Neuilly St. Front. Culchy, the key to the Chateau Thierry sector,, was threatened; many of the railways and roads of supply for the German armies in the south were cut or under shell fire, and it appeared that Ludendorff would have to act quickly and power­ fully or be driven entirely out of the Chateau Thierry salient if not back to the Alsne. As this is written the battle in that region is still going on, with the Ger­ man resistance stiffened by the bring­ ing up of lresh troops. The Franco- American jlrive at least served to les­ sen the Hun pressure on the defensive tines about Reims, though it was pre­ mature to say that the ancient cathe­ dral eity"would not have to be evacu­ ated, or that the Germans - In the Marne district had been beaten to a standstill. Severe as was their check, they still had great'forces in reserve. — f c — This latest. German drive, directed by Ludendorff, opened early Monday with a tremendous attack at nearly all points along a 65-mile front from Chateau Thierry to Main de .Massiges1 east of Reims. The Immediate defenses of Reims were not'assaulted, but it seemed to be the intention of the Huns to squeeze the allies out of that city and to eliminate the sali­ ent there, and then to force their way on to Epernay and Chalons. The onrush: of the first day bent back the allied line in places, but nowhere was it broken; much of the lost ground was speedily regained, and when the second day came -to a dose It was considered that the offensive had been definitely stopped. None of its ob­ jectives had been attained, though the German commanders employed about 750.000 men In their fierce attacks. Von/Bernhai-dt, the famous Prussian strategist, once said an offensive which is brought to a. standstill is a con­ quered offensive, and the allies -took that view of the situation. - — W ith prldefand 'gratification Amaiv ica learned o fth e splendid part played by its soldiers In 'this third battle of the Marne. Some 250,000 of them were Involved, holding especially the sectors Jnst west and east of Chateaii Thierry, and they acquitted them­ selves im a manner that won the un­ qualified Upraise of the French com­ manders. Inthefli*tplM *,theysu»- tained a powerful assault on V a w west of Chatean Thierry, and though forced out of that village momentarily, they regained possession of it by a brilliant counter-attack. Then, far­ ther to the east, at the Jaulgonne bend*of the Marne, they were called on to -check a tremendous rush of Huns across the river.- Their advanced line fell back, the guns all the time slaughtering the Germans who were trying to get oyer with pontoons and canvas boats. Then the main line of defense came into action, changed itself Into a line of offense, and swept the enemy back across or into the river, killing great numbers and cap­ turing about 1,500, including , a. com­ plete brigade staff. The fighting In that sector continued with great in­ tensity, but the Americans command­ ed the river fro n t. at the bend.. — f c — On Tuesday the Americans, In co­ operation with the French; launched heavy attacks between St. Agnan and La Chapelle-Monthodon, southeast of Jaulgonne, where the Germans had succeeded In getting considerable forces across the river. The enemy was driven back steadily and both these villages, as well as others, were recaptured. Frpm Dormans, north­ ward toward Reims, in a sector held by Franco-ItaHan forces, the Huns at first advanced two or three miles, hnt occupied—no'positions ;-of impor­ tance and were unable to disorganize In the least the defensive- line of the allies. By Wednesday the Germans were making their greatest effort® In this' sector, trying to force their way toward Epernay. But by this time the French were manifestly holding the upper hand, and they counter-attacked eagerly and spiritedly, retaking every piece of ground which the Germans occupied by their desperate efforts,- Nearly ev­ ery attem pt of the enemy to advance was repulsed almost before It started. — I* — The swiftest and most complete check sustained by the Germans was east of Reims, between Pompelle fort and Main de Maspiges. Expecting an easy victory there, they m et with a crushing defeat at the hands of the French troops under General Gouraud. This gallant commander, who lost an arm at the Dardanelles, had disposed his men with the utmost cleverness. When the German bombardment be­ gan, one of the most tetTlfic ever known, the French, except for machine gun crews In blockhouses, retired to shelter. Then the observers announ­ ced that the advance was starting, and Instantly the enemy was swept by a devastating fire from cannon, machine guns and rifies. The blockhouses re­ tarded the Huns, large numbers ol. whom were' killed, ana tHfe charging troops never-entered the French Iin« of resistance, coming to a standstill at the wire entanglements, which werl loaded with dead bodies. The Huns engaged in this attack were fifteen elite divisions, with ten divisions supporting. Less than one- third as many Frenchmen defeated them, and the French casualties were astonishingly few. The attacking Ger­ man divisions had to be relieved, bnt the French staid In their positions, happy and cheerful and more confi­ dent .than ever. ' ~ 'The morale of all the allied troops, indeed, was of the highest, In strong contrast-to that of the enemy as re­ vealed by the words and actions of prisoners. The spirit of the Americans engaged was shown vividly by two Jn- cldentis worth recording. On the first day, when, a certain force of Yankees had been compelled to give ground, their commander was advised' by a French general to let his men rest, as Uie retirement could'have no serious consequences. The American respond­ ed th a th e could not accept the coun­ sel and was going, to counter-attack at once. - This he did, regaining-the lost terrain and half a mile more to boot Another commander, In'report­ ing the recapture- of a number of towns, wired to headquarters: “Met Boche on his line of defense. Sharp fighting. Boche turned tall and ran like h—I, pursued by our' troops. Hope to have more prisoner?.” There were numerous Instances of valor and nerve in the desperate fighting in whlcfc' the AiQericahs took part. These are the troops which the- German papers as­ sert are flabby, without enthusiasm M id- unfit for: serious operations.-? Tbf French soldiers displayed tbelr customary gallantry and determina­ tion, and the Italians on that front were not- behind them In this. If more stress is laid on the bravery of the Americans, it Is only because the oth­ ers have proved themselves times without number In the last four years. All the latest reports of the allies state that the situation Is entirely Sati isfactory and improving hourly. — M — At first It was thought by many that Ludendorff1S offensive in the Mome region was not intended to be his main effort but masked a plan to attack elsewhere, perhaps In Flanders. At the end of the week there were still some observers who believed this, but it seemed very doubtful. At the same time, It was hard to figure out how he could expect to derive any great bene­ fit from success 'where he attacked. Even if he had attained his supposed objectives and. .captured Bpernay, Chalons, the Mountain of Reims and Mont-Mirail, he would be no nearer a decisive victory than before, and was certain to lose an enormous number of men. Instead of turning westward to­ ward Paris, he was attempting to move to the east and south and the road to the capital would still be closed to him. If Ludendorff really plans an offen­ sive In Flanders, the British there are getting ready to m eet it. Several times last week they advanced their lines, taking possession of positions that ma­ terially strengthened their defenses. The British airmen were especially ac­ tive and there were numerous bomb­ ing raids over territory held by the Germans and on German towns. — t e — The Franco-Itallan troops In Albania continued their victorious progress last week and made their way well to the north - and east, threatening the fiank of the enemy In Macedonia. The political effect of this offensive already is becoming apparent In Austria-Hun­ gary. - —.*»—The Chinese government has decid­ ed to send a force to Vladivostok to co-operate with the allies, but It is probable nothing more will be done now exc&pt to protect the frontiers of China. Japan was much excited last week over the proposition to send a great expedition into Siberia. 4The press insisted the United States had submitted to Japan a proposal for such action, though this was not officially confirmed. The provisional government of Si­ beria, located at .Harbin, is growing In strength, but may be reorganized soon owing to dissatisfaction with General Horvath,' who put himself a t Its head. It is said tha Czechoslovaks have agreed to co-operate with Horvath. These troops have driven the bolshy- viki entirely out of Irkutsk and a large force of them was reported to be approaching Kransnoyarsk. I t was revealed that a considerable number of Americans have been sent to the Murmansk coast to help guard th6 supplies there. Lenlne Is enraged because those forces are in Russia and has ordered them removed. There is a chance that he will declare w ar on the allies, a course which, naturally enough, Is strongly urged by the Ger­ man press. In this connection it is to be'noted that Prof.' Paul Milukoff, leader of the . constitutional democrats, has gone over to' the Germans, Baying he would prefer a united Russia un­ der - German ■ protection to a country broken up into many governments.

A fter a short experience as a recruiting officer in London, he Is sent to train­ ing Q«!irters in France, where he first hears the sound of big guns and makes the acquaintance of “cooties.” After a brief period of training Empe.v’s company is sent into the front-line trenches, where he takes Iis first turn on the fire step while the bullets whiz overhead. Empey learns, as comrade falls, that death lurks always in the trenches. Clmi'itiin distinguishes himself by rescuing wounded men under hot fire. ’.Vith pick and shovel Empey has experience as a trench digger in Xo M in’s Land. CHAPTER X llt—Continued. —9— We Imed up in front of the baths, soaked with perspiration, and plied oar rifles into stacks. A sergeant of the R. A. IL C. with a yellow band around his left arm on which was “S. P.” (sanitary police) in blnck let­ ters, took charge, ordering BS to take off our equipment, unroll our puttees- end unlace boots. Then, starting from the right of the line, he divided us Into squads of fifteen. I happened to be in the first squad. We entered a small room, where we were given five minutes to undress, then filed into the bathroom. In here ttfere were fifteen tubs (barrels sawed Id two) half full of water. Each tub cotttoined a piece of laundry soap. The sergeant informed us that we had just twelve minutes in which to take our baths. Soaping ourselves all over, we took tarns In rubbing each other’s backs, then by means of a garden hose, trashed the soap off. The w ater was ice cold, but felt fine. Pretty soon a bell rang and the wa­ ter was turned off. Some of the slower .roes were covered with soap, but this mode no difference to the sergeant, wto chased us into another room, where we lined up In front of a little window, resembling the box office In a theater, and received clean underwear and towels. From here we went Into the room where we had first undressed. Ten minutes were allowed In which to get into our “clabber.” My pair of drawers came up to my chin and the shirt barely reached my diaphragm, but they were clean—no 6trangers on them, so -I was satisfied. At the expiration of the time, allot­ ted we were turned out and finished onr dressing on the grass. When all of the company had bathed It was a case of march back to billets'.

A chaplain is not a fighting m an; he is recognized as a noncombatant and carries no arms. In a charge or trench raid the soldier gets a-feeling of con­ fidence from contact with his rifle, re­ volver, or bomb he is carrying. He has something- to protect himself with, something with which he can inflict harm on the enemy—In other words, he is able to. get his own back. But the chaplain is empty-handed, and is at the mercy of the enemy if he encounters them; so it is doubly brave for him to go over the top, under fire, and bring in wounded. Also a chaplain is not required by the king’s regulations to go over In a charge, but this one did, made three trips under the hottest kind of fire, each time re­ turning with a wounded man on his back. On the third trip he received a bullet through his left arm, but never reported the m atter to the doctor until late that night—just spent his time ad­ ministering. to the wants of the wound­ ed lying on stretchers. The chaplains of the British army are a fine, manly le t of men, and aro greatly respected by Tommy. CHAPTER XIV. Picks and Shovels. I had not slept long before the sweei voice of the sergeant informed that “No. I section had clicked for another blinking digging party.” I smiled to myself with deep satisfaction. I had been promoted from a mere digger to a member of the Suicide club, and was exempt from all fatigues. Then came an awful shock. The sergeant looked over in my direction and said: “Don’t you bomb throwers think yon are wearing top hats out here.' ’Cord­ in’ to orders yon’ve been taken up on the strength of tills section, and will have to do your bit with the pick and shovel, same as the rest of us.” I put up a howl on my way to get my shovel, but the only thing that re­ sulted was a loss of good humor on my p a rt We fell In a t eight o’clock, outside of our billets, a sort of masquerade party. I was disguised as a common laborer, had a pick and shovel, and about one hundred empty sandbags. The rest, about two hundred in all, were equipped likewise: picks," shovels, sandbags, rifles and ammunition. - The party moved out in column of fours, taking the road leading to the trenches. Several times we had to string out In the ditch to .let long col­ umns of limbers, artillery and supplies get past. The marching, under these" condi­ tions, was necessarily slow. Upon ar­ rival a t the entrance to the communi­ cation trench, I looked a t my illumi­ nated w rist watch—it was eleven o’clock. Befort entering this trench, word was passed down the line, “no talking or smoking, lead off In single file, cov­ ering party first” This covering party consisted of 30 men, armed with rifles, bayonets, bombs, and two Lewis machine guns. They were to protect us and guard against a surprise attack while dig­ ging In No Man’s Land. The communication trench was about half a mile long, a zigzagging ditch, eight feet deep and three feet wide. Now and again, German shrapnel would whistie overhead and-burst In our vicinity. We would crouch against • the earthen walls while the shell frag­ m ents ‘"slapped” the grounu above ns. ' Once BWtz turned loose with a ma­ chine gun, the bullets from which •■•cracked” through the air an'd Wcked up the dirt on the top, scattering sand and pebbles, which, hitting our steel helmets, sounded like hailstones. Upon arrival to the fire trench an officer of the Boyal Engineers, gave os our Instructions, and acted as guide. v. Wo were to dig an advanced trench tw® hundred jwdt era* the (I£crub> £ 6I benches at Site point were six hundred yards apart). . winding lanes, five feet wide, had been cut through our barbed wire, for the passage of-the diggers. BVom these lines white tape had beeh laid on the ground to the point where we were to commence work. This In or­ der that we would not get lost In the darkness. The proposed trench was also laid out with tape. The covering party went out, first ■After a short wait, two scouts came back with information that the work­ ing party was to follow and “carry oh" with their work. In extended order, two yards apart we noiselessly crept across No Man’s Land. It was nervous w ork; every minute we expected a machine gun to open flre on us. Stray bullets-“cracked" around us, or a ricochet sang over­head. Arriving at the taped diagram of the trench, rifles slung around our shoulders, we lost no time In getting to work. We dug-as quietly as pos­ sible hut every now and then the noise of a pick or shovel striking a stone would send the cold shivers down our backs. Under our breaths we heartily cursed the offending Tommy, At intervals a.star shell would go up from the German lines and we would remain motionless until the glare of its white light died ou t When the trench reached a depth of two feet we felt safer, be­ cause It would afford us cover in case we were discovered and fired on. The digging had been In progress about two hours, when suddenly hell seemed to break aovse In the form of machine-gun and rifle fin*. We dropped down on our bellies In the shallow trench, bullets knocking Trench Digging. up the ground and snapping In the air. Then shrapnel butted In. The music was hot and Tommy danced. The covering party was having a rough time of It; they had no cover; just had to take their medicine. Word was passed down the Une to beat it for our trenches. We needed 'no urging; grabbing our tools and stoop­ ing low, we legged It across No Man’* Land. The covering party got away to a poor start but beat us In." They must have had wings because we low­ ered the record.. Panting and out of breath, we tum­ bled into our front-line trench. I tore my hands getting through, our wire, but, at the time, didn’t notice it; .my journey was too urgent When the roll was called we found that we had gotten it in the nose for 63 casualties. Our artillery put a barrage on FrIttf front-line and communication trencheu and their ma;chine-gun and rifl* flre suddenly ceased. . Upon the cessation of this fire, stretcher bearers'w ent out to look for killed and wounded. Next day we learned that 21 of our men had been killed and 37 wounded. Five men were missing; lost In the darkness, they must have wandered over into the Ger­ man lines, where they were either killed or captured. Speaking of stretched bearers an< wounded, it is very hard for the aver­ age civilian, to comprehend the enor­ mous cost of taking caro of wounded and the war In general. He or she get» so accustomed to seeing billions of dol­ lars In print that the significance of the amount is passed over , without thought From an official statem ent .published In one of the London papers, it la stated that -It costs between six and seven thousand pounds ($30,000 to $35,- 000) to kill or wound .a soldier. This result was attained by-taking the cos' of the w ar to date and dividing it bj the killed and wounded; „ ; . . * It may sound heartless and inhuman, but It is a fa c t nevertheless, that from a m ilitary standpoint it Is better for a man to be killed than wounded. 7 Empey tells, of many ways the soldiers have of amusing tkem- selves, In the next installment. IN COCK IS BEST Method Now Generally Practiced Where Best Quality of Legume is Desired. EXIM MBQg IS BEdlllKD Found Necessary to Get Rid of W ater In Plant Evenly—Correct Way to Build Cock W hen. Working _ W ith Green’ Hay. ; ^ - - - (Prepared by the United States Depart­ment oC Agriculture.) One of the best methods of curing hay is to.cure in the -cock. This method is not generally practiced except In re­ gions where unfavorable weather Is the rule rather than the exception, or when the best quality of legume hay is desired. Throughout the middle West, where hay loaders are used, hay Is not cocked because of the extra labor re­ quired and the Inability to handle cocked hay with the hay loader. It has been shown that It Is neces­ sary to get rid of the. water In the plant evenly. On a sunshiny day hay m ust be raked after It has been in the swath a certain length of time, or the leaves will, become dried out and lose color. When It is raked Into the windrojv a smaller proportion of the hay is exposed to the action of the sun’s rays. After remaining In the windrow, where further curing is done, the time is reached when it be­ comes necessary to remove the hay in order to retain a good color and aroma. Cure Hay in Cocks. When this stage' is reached the next thing to do is to put the hay into the cock, where a still smaller proportion of the hay will be exposed to the sun. The curing process is not stopped when hay is cocked, bnt goes on less rapidly than when in the windrow and much more slowly than when in the swatb. The hay in the cock continues to lose its moisture slowly until It Is cured out sufficiently to be-baled or put into the stack or bam. The time required for curing will depend upon tl?e moisture -content when cocked, the amount of hay put into the cock, and also upon weather conditions. Under ordinary conditions hay will cure in the cock in from three' days to a week. Hay cocked too “green” will cause heating. The larger the cock the more danger there is-of heating when unclercured hay is cocked. Hay is put into cocks containing from 75 to IQO pounds of cured hay. About 100 pounds is the size most commonly used in many sections. Cloudy and rainy weather' not only retatds curing but may cause' hedting if the rain enters th e . cock. When - I (TO BB CONTanUKMr **■' *■ «•» I *<. Curing Hay in the Cock Under Caps— When W eather Conditions Make It Necessary to Cure Hay in the Cock It Is Advisable to .Use Hay Caps. cocked' hay shows danger of becoming too hot it will be necessary to open the cock and scatter the hay out until it has lost enough moisture to be re­ cocked. Hay can be put in small cocks green­ er than In large ones. Some farmers take hay from the windrow and make very small bunches, each containing about flnee forkfuls of hay, before the hay is in condition to be put into a regular "sized cock., How to Cock Hay. There are two ways to make a hay cock. One is to roll up the hay In the windrow Into a rather loose cock or bunch, or to round up -(cock) bunches of hay that have been bunched with a sulky or push rake, after the hay is al­ most cured. The bulk of the hay in this kind of a cock is not handled, be­ ing left rolled up and tangled from the action of the rake. The edges are pulled out with a pitchfork and put on top of the cock. Such cocks are subject to considerable settling, and flatten out and do not shed rain. This practice is suitable for curing In good weather, as a man can handle nlore than twice as much *hay as when cocking the other way. It is a waste of time, however, to cock hay in this manner if it is to be exposed'to rain, unless hay caps are used; for the rain will wet and spoil the hay. The best and correct way to build a cock, • when working with . fairly green hay, is to take the hay, a fork­ ful at a tlm% and spread’ it out flat Care should he taken to build a good, 'symmetrical cock, in'the same manner as ’ a stack is built The top should come to a- sharp peak, and, when the last forkful is on the sides, should be raked downwards so tliat the stems will cause rain to run off and away from the center, qf the cock. Cocks built In this m anner will shed consid­ erably more, rain than when most of the hay Is roiled up or bunched. Well- cocked hay. covered with caps can, If necessary, remain, In the. field over a Veelc. TRACTOR WILL U ST ABOUT EIGHT YEARS Outfit Enables Owners to Enlarge Their Farm Operations. Study Conducted by United States De, partment of Agriculture—Used on. Average Forty-Five Days Each Year^ (Prepared by the United States Depart' ment of Agriculture.) The average life of a farm tractor is from 7% to 8 years, according to es­ timates furnished by over 600 experi­ enced tractor owners on representative com-belt farms- In Dllnois. This Is brought out In a study conducted In 1917 and the spring of 1918 by the Uttited States department of agricul­ ture, a report of which is published In Farmers’ Bulletin 963. The reports of the tractor owners show that the out­ fits are used on an average of 45 days per year. While at first glance this may ap­ pear low, when it is . remembered that on farms where horses do all the work they are used on an average of only about 100 days annually, It will be seen that where both horses and tractor are & £ . Tractor Drawing Double Disk Harrow. used, even though the number of horses Is somewhat reduced, the ma­ chine need not be expected to have employment for as many days annual­ ly as did the horses. The horses kept will do some of the work, which will, of course, decrease the amount to be done by the tractor. A considerable percentage of the 100 days’ work done by horses represents odd jobs for which the tractor cannot be used to advantage. Even If the machine were to do all the work formerly done by the horses, It would not normally be employed 100 days per year, inasmuch sis it does the work more rapidly. It should be borne in mind, says the bulletin, that practically all farm op­ erations must be carried on within lim­ ited periods, and that between these seasons there will often be no field work which the tractor can do, either on the home farm or for neighbors. The fact that weather and soli condi­ tions are such as to permit field work with a tractor does not necessarily mean that there Is such work to be done. Form management ploys an im­ portant part In organizing the farm so as to provide profitable employment for the tractor during as many days as possible. Such organization in­ volves the planning of a crop rotation which will furnish a large amount of work which it can do, the elimination of as many horses as desirable, and the distribution of the work over a long period. However, the rotation should include only such crops as can be grown profitably In that particular section. The significance of the fact that a large percentage of the Illinois farm ­ ers who reported enlarged their farms after buying tractors Is readily appar­ ent when the tractor’s place in farm management is thus considered. Ob­ viously these men have learned through experience that much more land per man can be handled when a tractor is used than with horses only, and that to get the most out of their-invest­ ment they must farm land enough to keep their tractors busy at profitable work throughout as much as possible of the available working season.

ESSENTIAL IN' GRADING EGGS Candling Is Only Method by Whloh Producers Can Be Certain of Quality of Product. !Prepared by the United States Depart­ment of Agriculture.) Grading is becoming more and more customary in the sale gnd pur­ chase of eggs, and a knowledge of candling Is essential to egg grading. I t Is only by candling that producers and shippers of eggs can be certain th at they are- complying w ith federal, state and other regulations, because by thi« method one can determine the freshness and quality of eggs. The process, In simple terms, is to hold an egg before a shaded light In a dark room, and by noting certain character­ istics seen through the sem itranspar­ ent shell to determine its edible and m arketable qualities. Farm ers, with only a few eggs' to m arket may Improvise a candler by placing a stovepipe over a kerosene lamp, cutting a small hole In the pipe, level with the light, The eggs Is held In a slanting position a t the opening. It Is twisted a few times to the right and left and then from end to end, so that its entire contents may be visible. Care should be taken that the fingers or hand do not conceal small blem­ ishes', which otherwise would be dis­ closed by the lig h t The beginner should study carefully the general for­ mation of an egg, as this detailed knowledge is necessary for the appli­ cation of the standards of various grades and qualities, \ The yolk ranges In color from light yellow to orange, and is occasionally olive green. The eggs with olive green yolks are less desirable because of this color, but are considered edible. The yolk is contained In a delicate mem- I brane and on its surface is a small i light-colored circular area called the I germinal disk, from which the chick develops. The yolk always floats In the white with the chick spot on top. Around the yolk lies a small quantity of thin white and then a heavy layer of thick white. Twisted cordlike coils WILLIE FINAJ3LY SAW LIGHT | But it Took Great Blow to Make Him Realize Why Everybody Hated the Kaiser. It had been very difficult to im­ press little Willie with the serious­ ness of the w ar situation. He could not exactly understand why the people should all hate the kaiser so, but of course he hated him • as a m atter of principle because his father hated him, and his big brother hated him, and well, almost everybody else he knew hated him. “But why, mother, do they hate, him so awful much?” he would persist. The family couldn't explain It to him satisfactorily. June came, and the close of school, and all was rosy for little Willie. Now he was looking forward to the Fourth of July. But a few days before the great day a notice came around that there would not be any fireworks, not even torpe­ does, or little mandarins, or “son-of- a-guns.” This was awful news. “Why not, mother?” he pouted. “Well, you see the kaiser is getting all the powder In this country now, and we can’t waste it.” Now little WilUe sees why every­ body hated the kaiser. “I wisht I was old,” he concluded, “and then, beware old kaiser!”—In­ dianapolis News. • The only satisfactory way to get out of a love affair is to keep out of It be­ fore you are pulled into it Even after a m an reaches his bot­ tom dollar he usunlly lias something left to build hopes upon. Fresh Beef Travels on a Rapid Schedule Fresh beef for domestic mar­ kets goes from stockyards to retail stores within a period of about two weeks. Although chilled, this meat is not frozen; hence it cannpt be stored for a rise in price. A steer is dressed usually within twenty-four hours after purchase by the packer. The beef is held in a cooler at the packing house, at a temperature a little above freezing, for about three days. It is then loaded into a refrig­ erator car where a similar tem­ perature is maintained, and is in transit to market on an aver­ age of about six days. Upon arrival at the branch distributing house, it is unloaded into a “cooler”, and placed on sale. Swift Sc. Company requires all beef to be sold during the week of arrival, and the average of sales is within five days. Any delay along the above journey means deterioration in the meat and loss to the packer. Swift & Company, U. S. A. LEMON JUICE TAKES OFF TAN Girls!

Homemade Candling Outfit. of opaque white m aterial called chala- zae extend from the yolk through the white toward each end of the egg, and hold the yolk In position, yet allow it to turn freely. ' ■ Between the white and the shell are two fibrous membranes with an air space between them. W hen .first laid, the contents fill the entire egg, but when the egg cools the contents shrink and these membranes separate, form­ ing an air space. The size of this air space is-im portant In determining the freshness of the egg. As the egg ages the air space increases in size. Most bad eggs have enlarged Edr spaces. A fine, thick white Is found in a fresh egg, and a weak thin white In a stale egg. As the egg becomes stale the amount of thick white decreases. Several classes of bad eggs are indi­ cated by discolored whites. The yolk of the fresh egg when twirled before the candle is seen dimly as a dark object moving siowly In the j white. The yolk of a stale egg Is seen ; more plainly than that of the fresh egg. When the yolk is so weak that the shake of the egg in candling causes , it to brestk it should be graded as un- ’ marketable. In the fresh egg the yolk is slightly above the center In the j large end of the egg. As the egg be- j comes stale the yolk floats higher Emd nearer the shell. The start of Incubation In a fertile egg may be detected by a reddish glow surrounding the germinal spot. (Such eggs, although considered edible, are not graded as firsts.) This reddish glow is entirely different from the so- called blood ring,' which Indicates that the egg is unfit for food. W here there is Emy doubt as to* an egg’s fitness for food purposes, the candler should give the consumer the benefit of the doubt and reject it.

OIIEH Counties Raising Less Than Three-Fourths of Quota Asked To Select Week of Wind-up Drive. No County Without Quota by September 15. The week of the W ar Savings Drive In North Carolina Is passed but the drive Is not yet over,—not In ninety out of the State's one hundred coun­ ties. Only ten counties raised their full quotas of W ar Savings pledges during the drive. These were Wilson, Martin, Forsyth, Pitt, Perquimans, Jones, Greeqe, Cabarrus, Lenoir and Edgecombe. Counties that have rais­ ed three-fourths or over of their quotas are Burke, Chowan, Durham, Franklin, Granville, Guilford, Hen- derBon, Halifax, Iredell, Mecklenburg, Nash, New Haaover, Northampton, Orange, Scotland, Stokes, Union, W ake and Wayne. These counties will be left to them­ selves to finish raising their quotas, while counties which have not raised as much as three fourths will be visit­ ed by official representatives of state headquarters for the purpose of mak­ ing plans for the wind-up drive which will be for a week between July IB and September 15. This limit is given to the period In which the drives will be made for the reason that it is con­ sidered altogether necessary to have the W ar Savings Campaign over with and out of the way before the next U berty Loan and Y. M. C. A. cam­ paigns. During the week of the wind-up drive, every county and township that has not already done so, is expected to raise its full W ar Savings quota In sales and pledges. The plan of the drive will be sim ilar to the one re­ cently conducted, known as the Ne­ braska Plan, as this plan has been found to work most effectively in the counties that have already reported their quotas raised. County chairmen are asked to be- - gin making their plans and knowing their conditions now that no mistake be made in selecting the week and that sufficient tim e be had for work­ ing'out every detail, of the plan. No­ body can afford not to answer In full to the Government’s second call to the W ar Savings Campaign. WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO HELP WIN THE WAR? Have You Squared Your Account With the Boys at the Front? Every loyal American, every man and woman who is sincere in . his or her patriotism, every person who loves to hear the snapping, flapping old flag in the breeze, wants to do something to help his country win the war. Perhaps you are doing some­ thing. Perhaps you are doing much. It may be that you feel that your load is already all that you can carry,, that any more w ill' be more ,than your share. But look yourself straight In the eye, and search your heart. Be true to yourself. Have you made any sacrifice to win this war? Are you do­ ing ypur best? Perhaps you have bought W ar Sav­ ings Stamps with all of your spare money, and perhaps you have done without a few things that you would like to have. But, honest, has this been a sacrifice. Haven’t you been tooling yourself? W ill all that you I have done compare with an hour’s I tim e spent in the trenches by j our soldiers? Can you be satisfied with what you have done when you compare it with what' they' are doing day after day? Perhaps we ali have been fooling ourselves. Perhaps we have had the wrong conception of what is our duty to the boys at the front. However this may be, we are going to have an­ other opportunity to square our ac­ counts with those . we have , sent acrosB the seas. W e will again be called on as a few weeks ago, to pledge ourselves to buy the greatest number of W ar Savings Stamps that we can pay for during the remainder >t the year, and to save and sacrifice. If need be, to buy more if the Govern­ ment says buy. This we will be asked to do willingly, cheerfully, and grate­ fully. IE R E DOES JMIHn STAND ? The Poorest County Will be That One Which Did Least to Raise Its War Savings Quota. W here does your county ‘ stand? Was it one to raise its quota of W ar Savings pledges? Has it received its W ar Savings honor flag, which signi­ fies that it has' answered nobly the call of its Government and can be counted on at every call? If not, why not? Are you satisfied with your county's record? Did you do your part in signing the pledge and giving your services to make your county go over;in the drive? Another opportunity is going to be given your county and you to say what you will do. Those who did too little or pledged amounts too small will be ,given a chance to save their record. ' Many who have reconsidered since they were called on weeks ago will want to make their pledges larger and their services more liberal and willing. Many since that time have come to know the good investment that W ar Savings Stamps offer and they are willing to pledge themselves to save more that they may invest more in the best securities on earth. Again, ws a result of the drive/m any people have come to realize for the first time that they owe their country a debt of gratitude and service. They will seek this opportnity to pay this debt. No individual, no township, no coun­ ty can afford not to pay it. None of these can afford not ^to invest to the utmost in W ar Savings Stamps, as a mere, selfish means of protection after the war. Then will money be scarce, labor cheap, and prices high. The county or the individual that has made no provision for the future will be more than unfortunate.* The poor­ est county as well 'as the poorest in­ dividual after the war will be that one who made the least effort to buy Its full quota of W ar Savings Stamps and other securities offered by the GtovernmenL Poor indeed will be the man or county that will have no Rec­ ord of having served his country to the point of sacrifice that it might win the war, when all the history of the war shall have been written. IT’S UP TO YOU AND ME. "You and I have got to win this war. . Not the other fellow—but you and I., Those of us who are back of I!?.? • -,fighting lipes. must remember that this, is where :75 per cent of our country’s - fighting efficiency m ust be developed. Every man, woman and child of us can .fight here, and if we win our fight at home-our soldiers will win theirs in France. Save ‘Wisely, not miserly, and invest In Thrift and War-Savings Stamps and you are serv­ ing your country In one way that Is affective.” EVEN SO. You are too busy, you say, to get out and help your county raise its quota of W ar Savings Stamps. Sb are the boys In France busy, very busy—busy day and night keeping back the Huns and saving our homes, farms and factories from the fate that Belgium ,-met. You are too tired, you say, to solicit pledges or to remind those who pledged' to buy. So are the boys in France tired, very tired,—tired of fighting by day and keeping watch by night that America and her homes may be safe' from Hun atrocities. So nigh to exhaustion the boys may be, but the prospect of a restful night to them is only another night of anxious waiting to go “oyer the top,” and perhaps into the jaws of death in the morning. It is not convenient, you eay, for you to buy W ar Savings Stamps at this time, or give your services to the W ar Savings cause. Even so it was not convenient for the boys to leave their homes, farms •and factories, their wives, mothers and sweethearts,—everybody . and everything that was near and dear to them,—to go to France to save de­ fenceless women and Children. It was not convenient for the United States that Germany should sink, the Lusi­ tania in 1915, or the Carolina the-oth- 3r daT- Germany does not wait for conveniences. You: have no money to spare, you say, for W ar Savings Stamps. Nor Have the boys over there any blood to spare. Yet bravely and un­ complainingly they are giving, their life-blood—to them it is as precious is your money is to you,—to gave your country from a German invasion. The little, you can do, you say, will not count. The bullet of one of the boys at th ' front may not count against a mil­ lion Germans, but it will count again’st one. A million bullets will be suffi­ cient for a million Germans. • One W ar Savings Stamps may buy a hun­ dred bullets or a pair of shoes for a =Oldier, but if North Carolina does her part in raising her fifty million dol­ lars pf W ar Savings Stamps, , her sol­ diers will not lack for whatever they need. If every North Carolinian should buy.- all the W ar ' Savings Stamps he is able to pay for during the remainder , of the year our sol­ diers would not be so -long making their trip to Berlin. Every cent selfishly, thoughtlessly spent, robs our soldiers, robs our w n future. Every cent patriotically lent to-, Thrift ,,Campaign brings ' peace BIG CAMPAIGN TO ELECTiOYAL WAR CONGRESS National Security League An­ nounces Nation-Wide Nofc ’ Partisan Participation in;. Fall Elections. Active participation-by it In the Con­ gressional campaigns, which will short­ ly commence throughout the country, has been announced by the National Security League. The League declares that unusual measures must be taken to insure'the election this fall of a Congress which will stand militantly behind the carrying of the war to a decisive victory. The entire force of the League’s 281 branches and Its membership of over 100,000 patriotic American citizens will be thrown into this campaign. The creation of support of the movement outside the League will also be un­ dertaken by means of an active propa­ ganda among the leading citizens of every state In the-Union; irrespective of party. Elihu Root Takes Lead. Elihu RooL who is Honorary Presi­ dent of the National Security League, al the recent Annual Meeting of the organization laid particular emphasis on the necessity of non-partisan sup­ port of the Government in its ef- . forts for the aggressive prosecution of the war and the consequent impor­ tance of this year’s Congressional elec- tltfns. The m atter was then taken lip by the National Executive Committee of the League and the campaign decid­ ed upon at a meeting attended by Al­ ton B. Parker, who Is Honorary Vice President of the Security League: James W. Gerard, former United States Ambassador to Germany, one of the League's Vice .Presidents; S. Stan- wood Menken, President of the League; Lawrence F. Abbott of toe Outlook, and other prominent men. The League for NatIcnal Unity and other great national organizations have already indorsed the movement The leading newspapers of the country are also expressing their approval Tlie following are a few of the fa­ vorable editorial comments which are appearing in all parts of the country: Editorial Approval. Williamsport (Pa.) Sun; “The Na­ tional Security League’s effort -will have the hearty support of all patri-. otic voters.” Springfield (Mass.) Union: “This idea is sound and eminently worthy of serious attention.” Dos Moines (la.) Tribune: “Here in Iowa we may well emulate this exam­ ple which will lead to victory for Americanism regardless of party desig­ nation.” . SagiDnw (Mich.) News: “This cam­ paign will have a strong and growing following ali over the country." Helena (Mont.) Independent: “ Aineri- Icans upon whom party lines rest light­ ly and many who are strong for their party will find reasons for commenda­ tion of toe plan of the National Se­ curity League." 25,000 Letters. . The League’s campaign will lie con­ ducted by a committee headed by Charles D. Orth, a prominent New York commission merchant. This 'copi- mittee, as a preliminary step, has laid toe m atter before 25,000 leading citi­ zens in ali parts of the country and of all political beliefs in-the following let­ ter: ' “The conduct of the war and, in facL the very future of America are dependent not Only upon the election of a War Congress that will, enact nec­ essary laws, but upon the presence in the National Legislature of men of • vision, ability and broad experience, who are the best qualified of our citi­ zenship to correctly solve the great in­ ternal and international questions which will come before the next Con­ gress. “Grave Duty.” "The National Security League, pur­ suant to unanimous action of its Ex­ ecutive Committee, has taken upon It­ self the grave duty of impressing these m atters upon you and asking you to pledge your service for prompt ac­ tion to prevent disaster which .plight follow toe election of Incompetent or disloyal men to Congress. This can be prevented through definite and con­ certed action" oo toe part of loyal citi­ zens, who are in the vast majority. Neglect and indifference may,prove fa­ tal. “The remedy is for every one to as­ sume the personal obligation of speak­ ing with or writing without delay to political leaders, newspaper men and others who form public opinion In their Congressional Districts. Make them realize sharply that the need of the nation is the election of men of ab­ solute and unconditional loyalty who ore. determined to' prosecute toe war to victory and who possess' the strength of character hnd unquestion­ ed ability to be of real service .to the country In this crisis. The problems before the nation are such as to try the very souls of . the best men that we can elect.'

When a man pants for a woman and a woman pants for a man, that makes a pair of pants Pants are like molasses; they-are thinner. in hot weather and thicker in ; cold • weather.
