The larger use ol this food in human consumption the past year has contributed to the conservation of wheat flour. The proportion tnat went to feeding animals was larger than usual, as the Government had cut down the amount which formerly had been used in the brewing trade. This restriction will continne during the war. and the barley crop will again contribute to the supplies of food and feed stuffs. Bye, of which before the war, this country, raised 30 000 000 bushels annually, has been in creased to more than double the acreage and promises a yield of 74,000,000, or 14,000,000 more than last season. This is wholly a breadstuff, now that the distil­ lation of dlcholiolic liquors for hit­ man consnmption has beeu inter dieted, and the entire crop is ad­ ded to the bread supply, and en larges that important food by near Iy 10 per cent. Potatoes, next to wheat the principal vegetable food of man, promises a yield of 400,OOtflOOO bushels; this is 42,000,000 less than last year, when the product-, ion was a record one, and is 40,- 000.000 bushels in excess of the prew ar average. While last year’s pota'.o crop was abundant iD yield, there' was au excess supply daring the greater part of the sea sou, and those who withheld their product- from the market early in the season suffered some - loss by inadequate reservation facilities, a condition which will hardly pre­ vail this season, and on the whole, the potato supply will be abnn- dant.'-^-Ek: ' ------- Grove’s Tasteless chill Tonic destroys the malarial germs which are transmitted to the Wood by the MalaFia Mosquito.

It has been rightly decided that our soldier boys, home or abroad, can vote. The voteB can be sent- back, or left here any time before the election. The county election board is composed of two Demo­ crats and one Eepublican. Ol course, one of the Democrats Sg chairman of the board, and bas and will have charge of the ballots until the board meets and divides them out among the voting pre­ cincts. A good bunch of our bojB left the cjuut.y Monday for the camps. On last Saturday a number of these boys were in Newton. A few Ke- publicans there decided to get some of the ballots and have the Itepublican boys to vote Monday before leaving. So Mr. Yates Killian, the Bepublicau member ot the county board-of elections went'to the chairman—his chair­ man of the board—to get some of the ballots so tbe boys could vote Monday. But the chairman would not let him have any, but told him that the board would meet Wed­ nesday night and decide about the boys voti eg and how, etc. After telling Killiau that, and he was content to wait until Wed nesday night, one of the soldier boys reported to the Republicans that the Democrats had the boys together and were voting them; had them to'sign up and put the votes iu envelopes and seal them up. He said they wanted him to vote their ticket, too, but he would not vote it. But so far as he knew, all tbe others did. So, they weui to the chairman.again for ballots, and told him what they had heard. He'said'hekuowudthiugufibpatKt- • — that lie had not given anybody any tickets, and would not until after, or at the meeting Wednes­ day night. Now. this was on Saturday. The Republicans believe tbe sol dier boy told the truth, and that some of the leading Democrats did vote them, or at least, was trying to; and if they had the votes, they dp not know how they got tbeui, unless they got them froiu the chairman. No. one else had a right to them, it seems. As ue' understand it, these were the Slate tickets and perbaps( the Con­ gressional and Sepatorial tickets. Now, it the Democrats did get tickets and vote lhose boys on Sat­ urday. and refused to let the Re­ publicans have tickets lor their boys, it. is not fair,, it- is not de­ mocracy, it is uot American, but is partisan politics and old Kaiser ism from the bottomless pit of po ­ litical hell. Surely it is not' true. —Hickory Mercury. Chamberlain’s Congh Remedy.

And what he gets is incomparably better. Everyone of us has some part in the vast human machine, called society, that makes all this conven­ ience possible. The packer’s part is to prepare meat and get it to every part of the country sweet and fresh—to obtain it from the stock raiser, to dress it, cool it, ship it many miles in special rerrig- gerator cars, keep it cookat distrib­ uting points, and get it r into the consumer’s hands — your- hands — through retailers, all within about two weeks; For this service—so. perfect and effective that you are scarcely aware that anything is being done for you— you pay the packers an average profit of only a fraction of a cent:a pound above actual cost on every pound of mgsat you eat.

GERMANS HAVE LOST HEAVILY G riat Spofil of Cannon, Machine Gune and Stores Fall Into- Victorious Armlesn Hands. London.—Peronne, the railroad cen­ ter at the bend of the River Somme, taken, by the Germans in their offen­ sive of last March, was recaptured by forces of Field Marshal Haig. The towns of Bullecourt and Morval. also were captured by the British. The British have reached the sub­ urbs of Lens. Large fires are burn­ ing in the neighborhood of Lens and Armentieres. These are regarded as an indication of a further German re­ tirement. All along the western battle front the Germans continue to give ground before the | entente allies. Daily the trend of events accentuates the in­ security of the German lines and the inability of the German high com­ mand to hold back the aggressors. Where two months ago great salients projected into the allied front, these have either been flatten­ ed or are in the process of being blotted out, and in some instances the allies themeselves have driven in wedges that seriously menace the enemy. With the Marne and Bicardy sec­ tors now virtually all reclaimed, the wings of the present allied offensive are moving in a manner that bodes ill to the Germans. In the north, the wing on the Lys salient southwest of Ypres is being advanced under vol­ untary retirements; and the pressure of Field Marshal Haig’s forces^ Fol­ lowing the fall of Kemmel, the allied line has been moved further forward until it now rests almost upon the Estaires-LaBasse road, less than seven miles southwest of Armentieres. By wiping out of this salient the- menace to the channel ports has been overcome. Between the Somme and the Oisc the French have broken the backbone of the: German resistance at Roye, capturing this, pivotal point to an In­ vasion eastward of the plains ,of Pic­ ardy and advancing their lines north and south of the town over a front of about 12% miles to a depth of more than two and a half miles at certain points. 1 North of Soissons the French al­ though the' Germans are fighting thein bitterly again have advanced slightly their line In the outflanking movement both against the Cheming-Des-Dames region and the Noyon sector.

POSITION OF OLD LINE IS BROKEN AND MOPPED UP American troops advancing along­ side British have had their first battle on Belgian soil. They captured Voormezeele and joined with their al­ lies in the important operations which were carried out all along this sector. Th.e Americans, besides tak­ ing Voormezeele, have captured sev­ eral strong positions. AMERICANS MAKE A TWO MILE ADVANCE With the British Forces in France —A portion of the Hindenburg line northwest of Fontaine-Les-Croisilles, southeast of Arras, was captured by the British troops and mopped up. The town of Maricourt ''and the ground to the east of it are in British hands. Trones station and the wood and ground to the east were captur­ ed by the British and Moulin de Fargy also was taken. North of the River Somme, Field Marshal Haig’s troops attacked along a front of 8,000 yards. They gained great results. Wancourt tower and the town of- Wancourt were taken by the British after an all-night fight. Fighting is going on In the outskirts of Vaux-. Vrancourt. To the east of Bapaume the British line has been extended along the rail­ way toward Cambrab MAN POWER BILL IS PASSED BY ALMOST UNANIMOUS VOTE the foe to restrain them. Of greater significance than any ol •the other victories achieved in Fri­ day’s fighting is the gain of the French with whom Americans are brigaded in this general sector north of Soissons. The latest French official communi­ cation records the capture by tlje French here at Chavigny, three miles northwest, .and Cutties, a mile and a half north of Soissons, and the entry Into the outskirts of Crony, a short distance to the northeast. These victories, gained only after the hardest kind of fighting, make more secure the allied line running northward and outflanking the Aisne and the Chemin-Des-Dames positions. Also bettering this general stiua- tion has been the crossing by the French of the Ailette river at Champs. The Germans facing the allied forces from Arras to Soissons everywhere are In dire peril. On almost every sector of the bat- tlelront the enemy line continues to .crumble before the allied attack, not­ withstanding the violence, born of des­ peration, of the counter offensive tac­ tics. Near Arras, the old Hindenburg line now is well outflanked; from the Scarpe to the Somme the hostile line gradually is falling back, while from the south of the 'Somme to SoiBsons the enemy front has literally been smashed and the German hosts appar­ ently are caught In two distinct traps escape from which without heavy loss­ es in men made prisoner and guns and material captured, seems almost im­ possible of achievement. The ArBt trap in which the enemy finds himself is the triangle formed by the sharp curve of the Somme river with Peronne its apex and with Curlu on the Somme and Fresnes respect­ ively its northern and southern bases. This triangle is a little more than three miles deep and six miles wide, and In it the Germans- are fighting with their backs toward the Somme on both the north' and the" east. Desperate resistance is being offered While the Germans were busily engaged, in, defending themselves against the. attacks of the British and French armies from the Ancre river to the region of Soissons, Field Mar­ shal Haig struck another surprise blow over a new front.

The advance from Juvigny began at 4 o’clock and the Americans had gain­ ed their objective by night. Ragged points in the new line were smoothed out. In addition to the 600 prisoners, two pieces of artillery were captured and a great number of machine guns and trecnch mortars. Trenches, shell holes and the open field were strewn with German dead. The drive forward from the posi­ tions north and south of Juvigny proved a field day for the Americans, and their allies the French. The ar­ tillery literally blasted a way through the enemy ranks, tearing down de­ fenses and leveling the ground, while allied planes maintained complete and uninterrupted connection by radio with battery commanders throughout the engagement. The' infantry, when called upon for its part in the dram­ atic venture, responded like veteran troops after a long period of rest, and ■with enthusiastic shouts began - the pursuit of the Germans who were not caught in the terrlffc barrage. With the infantry went the tanks, and it was a different story from that when they first advanced against Ju­ vigny. Two companies, 30 tanks, had been detailed for the work. W asliington-The man-power. bill bringing within the army draft all men from 18 to 45 years old was pass­ ed ‘by the senate, with a modified work or fight clause.

The senate was recorded unani­ mously for. the. bill, Senator Gore, of Oklahoma, who cast the only nega: tlve vote on the roll call, withdrew it and was excused from voting. There were 75 affirmed votes.

THE ENEMY IS EVIDENTLY BADLY OFF FOR RESERVE8 With the British Army in France.— How hard the enemy is off for re­ serves may be gathered from the fact that the 148th regiment of the 41st division reappeared in the battle line during the defense of Cappy, on the south bank of the Somme, although this division lost 2,250 mgn made pris­ oner at Warfuses between August 8 and August 10, and was withdrawn as, no longer fit to fight.

This was the only notable incident in the opera­ tions between Soissons and Rheims, although the usual exchange between the artilleries continued. The destruction of the dumps was made possible by aerial observation by American aviators. They were lo­ cated near Revillon and early in the day a battery of long range guns be­ gan dropping shells' at points indi­ cated.

The listening-in service of the signal corps of the army Is one of its inter­ esting activities. Information of the enemy and his movements is always of use, and sometimes of great impor­ tance. The signal corps operates numerous listening-in stations close to or within the enemy's lines, at which, by means of devices recently perfected, It Is able not only to intercept any radio mes­ sage but also to determine accurately the location of the radio instrument ■which transmits it. This Information as to location is transmitted to the artillery, which proceeds to put the radio station out of business. German telephone wires have been made to divulge their secrets, though such wires are well within German ter­ ritory where it is impossible to tap their lines. This is accomplished by one of the most ingenious instruments that has been produced. By means of it our signal corps man can sit In his dugout on the front line with a re­ ceiver to his ear and hear any tele­ phone message well within the enemy territory, even though several thou­ sand Huns may intervene between him and the nearest point to the telephone wires being used by the enemy. The signal service of the army came into existence with development of the telegraph during the Civil war, and was expanded greatly In the Spanish- American war. It was tlien a mounted organization, mobile as cavalry, and used largely to serve the needs of the cavalry. It developed practically a perfect system for open warfare. A new system had to be originated for trench warfare and esperts began the study of this problem and the use of telephone and telegraph lines and the radio as soon as the present war started. Signal corps men were among the first units sent to France after the United States entered the war. The French system of signaling has been adopted in part, but with many purely American innovations. The whole fighting area within ten miles of the front lines is a mass of lines of information. There is the wire net, or telegraph and telephone; the radio; the visual, or searchlight and fire­ works, and the messengers, runners and motorcyclists. Plans for the student army training corps have been changed by the war department to conform to the lowered draft ages. The war department will utilize the plant, equipment and organ­ ization of the colleges to maintaic a reservoir of officer material for train­ ing as officers and technical experts from which it wijl be possible to meet the enlarged needs of the various branches of the service. The length of time during which men will be trained In the colleges will ' depend on the needs of the service. As fast as one group of trained men is drawn from the colleges into the serv­ ice their places will be taken by a new quota obtained by' voluntary In­ duction or through the draft. In this way the educational facilities of the country will be used to maintain a constant supply of men who are trained to meet the needs of the army. Onder the regulations selected young men who are physically fit for mili­ tary service, who are eighteen years of age or over, and who have had a grammar school education may be In­ ducted as volunteers into the army and enter upon a course of special train­ ing. Those who'have had only a gram­ mar school education will enter ordi­ narily special training detachments to be trained along mechanical lines of military training. Those who prove In the course of their mechanical train­ ing that they are officer material may be transferred to a unit In one of the colleges to be prepared to enter a cen­ tral officers’ training camp. Young men who have had a high school education will be allowed to en­ ter the college for more advanced training as officers and as technical experts of various kinds, according to their experience and abilities. Those who show promise under this training ■will be kept In college until qualified to enter an officer training camp or be sent directly into the service as tech­ nical experts; those who do not show promise under the training will be sent, either to noncommissioned offi­ cers’ schools, to the nearest depot bri­ gade or to detachments where men are trained according to their technical or mechanical abilities. Do not use galvanized utensils In making preserves, jellies or fruit Juices, say department of agriculture experts. Some of the zinc with which the vessels are galvanized may be changed to salts of zinc, which ,will give the product an acrid and astrin­ gent taste and render it unsuitable for human use.. Mexican-laborers In Texas have de­ veloped the taste for cottage cheese. Government experts have taught them how to make J t The result Is a sav­ ing in meat. I Lemon drops and coffee are popular with the army. There is such a de­ mand for lemon drops that the quar­ termasters corps is- having difficulty in obtaining the desired quantity and quality. About 200,000 pounds of lemon drops are used each month at the present time, or about 15 per cent of the amount of candy furnished the army. The lemon drops being supplied the army are made of pure granulated sugar and flavored with an emulsion made from the rind of the lemon. The extra sour lemon drop Is the favorite with the soldiers. It has the thirst- quenching quality of lemonade. The formula was prepared specially, and is being followed by the candy manu­ facturers supplying the army. The entire output of all factories In the United States making soluble cof­ fee is being purchased by the quarter­ masters corps for 'the army, but it is not sufficient to m eet. the demand; new companies are being organized and large capital is being expended to Insure a largely increased output. Soluble coffee Is used in the front line trenches, where It Is not possible always to have hot water because it cannot be brought up from the rear and fire to heat water causes smoke which invites the fire of 'the enemy. The men can make good coffee from the cold water which they carry In their canteens. Increasing needs of the military forces for woolens has brought an or­ der from the woolens section of the war industries board stopping the manufacture of woolen or worsted hand knitting yarns, and calling, for reports as to stock held by the manu­ facturers, and wholesale and retail merchants. The Bed Cross is buying up these stocks at a nominal profit to the hold­ ers for use in its war work. A much greater- supply is required, and the Red Cross will take up stocks of yarn suitable In quality and quantity as rapidly as they are offered. Large manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers reported their stocks on hand promptly, but many small mer­ chants throughout the country have failed to report to the woolens section, and reports have been received they are continuing to sell to their custom­ ers. The war industries board has no desire to penalize those who have re­ ported their stocks of yarn for the benefit of those who have not so re­ ported, and asks for immediate replies from those who hold unreported stocks of hand knitting yarns and compliance with the original order of the board. The yarns affected include both wool­ en and worsted In Oxfords, khaki, nat­ ural and natural' gray colors with the counts, make, quality and cost price. Beports should be made on lots down to 50 pounds. ' The United States has vast known sulphur deposits guaranteeing an abun­ dant supply for the manufacture of sulphuric acid and other necessary war materials for the successful prosecu­ tion of the war. Two great plants are now turning out most of the sulphur needed. One is In Louisiana and the other In Texas. There are two other known deposits which can be opened up quickly In case of necessity. Preliminary work on one of these is under progress to meet any unexpected emergency, such as destruction or damage by hurricane as- occurred recently at the Louisiana plant Sulphur is melted In the ground by steam and hot water and forced to the surface through wells where the molten sulphur solidifies on exposure to the air. The sulphur deposit underlies a bed of quicksand through which It Is impossible to drive shafts and mine In the ordinary way. The development of this project is one of the interesting mechanical achievements of the past decade, and the United States is now by far the greatest producer of sul­ phur. Colonel Churchill, 'chief of the mil­ itary intelligence branch of the gen­ eral staff, warns American editors against publication, as authentic and reliable, of statements in letters from American prisoners In German camps of the excellence of the food and gen­ eral treatment of the prisoners. An officer of the military intelligence branch who spent two years of the war in Germany reports that there are certain rules laid down by the German military authorities for all prisoners in letter writing. Theprice theypay for the transmission of thair letters is that they . must state that they are well treated, that the food is good and that they are contented. The letters of the prisoners are carefully censored at the prison camp and any statements 'made contrary to the rules laid down for letter writing simply means destruc­ tion of the letter. It Is concluded, therefore, that aw information coming from American prisoners In Germany is absolutely un­ reliable and should not be published in American newspapers or magazines as In any way authentic. A' few letters from apparently contented ’American prisoners In camps have made their appearance already In American news­ papers. The ordnance department is making a campaign , to . obtain large quantities of walnut lumber which is requires for the manufacture of aircraft propeller blades and for gun stocks.

NEWS REVIEW OF THE GREAT WAR Germany’s Strongest Bases in Picardy Are Occupied by the Allied Armies. TAKEN Br FRENCH British, Advancing Along the Searpe, Cross Hindenburg Line?—Desperate Resistance of the Huns Is Un­ availing—American Man­ power Bill Passed. By EDWARD W. PICKARD. Oroisilles, Bullecourt, Bray, Hebe- court, Chaulnes, Gommiecourt, Nesle, Roye, Noyo n, Chavlgny—one after an­ other the German strongholds in Pic­ ardy, ail down the line from Arras to Sofcsons, fell into, the hands of the al­ lies last week. The redoubtable Hin- denburg line was broken through at various points, and so menaced at others that it was In a fair way to be­ come untenable, even before the re­ treating Huns could reach it. East of Arras the British had turned its right flank, and the French, passing through Nesle, threatened it farther south. Astride the Scarpe and the Somme, Field Marshal Haig’s armies moved steadily if slowly toward the east, nev­ er giving the enemy an instant’s rest, relentlessly pushing him back In the direction of Cambrai, Peronne and St. Quentin. In the midst of furious rain­ storms the British fought unceasing­ ly and tirelessly to overcome the des­ perate resistance put up by the Ger­ mans. The battle developed and sprea'd day by day until it became one of the greatest conflicts ’of the war. In these regions, as elsewhere, the Germans sought to stem the advance mainly by Innumerable machine guns. The crews of these, left to fight while the main bodies of the troops contin­ ued their retirement, did fight, and to the death. The Hun infantry In many cases showed the greatest reluctance to attack, sometimes flatly refusing to obey the orders of their commanders. By the end of the week the British had Peronne under their guns and the Huns were falling back to the river crossings there and at Brie. Farther north, Bapaume was taken on Thurs­ day ’and Haig’s forces had pushed far beyond It on the north, HavIngcrossed the Hindenburg "line, they were threat­ ening the Queant-Drocourt support line. Perhaps the most important ef­ fect of their advance along the Scarpe was that it menaced the gronp of con­ verging railway lines that are vital to the enemy In handling men from the Belgian and northwestern BYench fronts. During the week the British took something like 30,000 prisoners and more than 100 guns. • - _ —fa— The .severest blow to the Germans was the capture of Noyon on Thurs­ day by. the French troops of General Humbert. The city, which had been practically enveloped for a week or more, was powerfully defended by the Germans, who had counted on making It the pivot of their line to.the north. Its southern and wester^ outskirts were full of strongly entrenched ma­ chine-gun positions. The French were not to be denied, however. Noyon is a great highway center aind its taking opens the way for the French to drive the German's back to the St. Gobain forest,’ La Fere and maybe St. Quen­ tin. The intervening terrain is such that the enemy could scarcely hope to make a stand there. The three French armies under Humbert, Debeney and Mangin gave a splendid display of teamwork In their advances on both sides of the Oise. Mangin’s men crossed the river and took Morlincourt while Humbert was Outflanking Noyon from the west.and south, and the Huns had the choice of retreating or being, captured. On the left the First army occupied Quesnoy wood, a strongly fortified pos'Hon which the enemy tried hard to hold because It Is a dominating point (Mt Tuesday the French.had cap- tnred Roye, «ne- of the Important Ger­ man bases, but as the enemy in de­ parting left it full of mustard gas it could not be utilized by the French. However, they didn’t need It, for. they pushed ahead so relentlessly that the next day they passed through Nesle, and on Thursday they were near Ham, only 12 miles from S t Quentin. In their retreat there the Huns lost three complete munition trains, which proved they were In something of a hurry. This drive on Ham made a big salient In the German lines and ren­ dered the enemy’s situation along the entire front more desperate than ever. —15*— South of the Olse General. Mangin made use of some American units in his attacks on the salient north of Sulssons. He was aiming at the heights at the western end of the Chemin des DamfO. and the decided progress he made imperiled the Ger­ man positions both to the east and to the west. At Juvigny on the Ailette, too, the Americans came into action, helping the French to repulse heavy attacks. Along the Vesle the Americans had some severe fighting during the week. They attacked Bazoches, gained a foothold there and cluqg to it; but at the same time the Huns attacked Fis- mette In force and compelled the Yankees to fall back. The enemy, however, was not permitted to cross the river. This little reverse was not considered by General Pershing to be of especial importance. — ■ Over In Germany the effects of Mar­ shal 1Poch1S successes became more apparent dally. The press and certain emissaries of Hindenburg and Luden- dorff endeavored to explain away the German defeats or to minimize them, but the murmurs of the people grew louder. Their confidence in final vic­ tory is waning rapidly, despite the pan-German organs, which violently prod the faint-hearted. Dispatches from neutral sources indicate that Ber­ lin will soon launch another peace of­ fensive, offering to give np Belgium and northern France. It is against just such an illusory proposition that the wise men of the allies are warn­ ing the people. Nothing would suit Germany better just now than a peace on such a basis; but nothing should or will suit the allied nations except a peace dictated by themselves after the military power of the Hun has been utterly broken. The peace of compromise, leaving Germany the pow­ er to make a new and more terrible war In future, is sure to receive the support of the influences in the country that are controlled by the insidious German propaganda, and it Is against this that America must especially guard itself.—Pa— Spain’s threat to seize interned Ger­ man shipping to compensate for Spanish losses by submarine warfare had its effect In Berlin, for though the German government did not yield entirely, It made it plain that it want­ ed.no more countries added to the list of its enemies. While the discussion was going on, however, another Span­ ish vessel was torpedoed, and the sit­ uation became yet more critical. —HS— Indirect advices from Austria-Hun- gary emphasize the desperate Inter­ nal condition of that empire. The Bo­ hemians appear to be on the edge of organized revolt, and they would re­ ceive the support of the Slovaks. Aus­ tria and Hungary are in a perpetual quarrel. The former has now forbid­ den the' export of pharmaceutical sup­ plies to Hungary, and the latter has retaliated by ordering that Its food supplies shall go only to Hungary and the army. —fe— After a slight set-back, the cause of the allies In Siberia and Russia prop­ er made good progress during the week. At first the bolshevik! forced the allies on the Ussuri front to retire, but re-enforcements came up, includ­ ing. Japanese and American troops, and the satisfactory conditions were re-established in quick order. The bold attempt of General Horvath, self- styled dictator of Siberia to execute a coup d’etat and gain control of all the Russian military forces In the far Bast was blocked by the allies, whose representatives at Vladivostok in­ formed General PIeshkoff, Horvath’s emissary, that the allied nations would countenance no government not In ac­ cord with the wishes of the people. Meanwhile the allied expedition was strengthened by the arrival of more Americans, and Italy announced it woulil send a regiment there. The Japanese forces took control of the Manchurian border, China having with­ drawn her objections. The Japanese engaged the bolsheviki -near Dauria. and General Semenoff, anti-bolshevik leader of Cossacks, crossed the Siberi­ an border and captured Matslevskl station. In the “Country of the North” the fighting of late has been In favor of the Russo-allled troops. The bolshe- vlki river flotilla, which caused them some trouble, has been dispersed and the Red guards have surrendered the town of Shenkurgk1 south of Archan­ gel, the last place of any size held by them In the region. News from the far Eiast Is likely to be rather scanty In the future, for its dissemination has been taken In charge by the Japanese, and they are notoriously close-mouthed concerning military operations. — f e — . Reports 'from Albania have not been very satisfactory lately. The Austri- ans "came back” hard at the Franco- Italian forces and compelled them to retire somewhat, retaking the town of' Berat. Later In the week the allies de­ feated the Austrians In -two battles. On the Italian front there was not a great deal doing, but the allies made several successful raids and repulsed all enemy attacks. American airmen in Italy raided the big Austrian naval base at Pola, on the Adriatic. — t e — Both house and senate passed the man-power bill making the draft age limits eighteen to forty-five inclusive. Each body inserted Its own amend­ ments, but most of these went by the board In the conference. The most Important of these was the senate anti-strike danse. The house con­ ferees, led by Dent, absolutely refused to accept this, and rather than risk delay, the senate conferees consented to sacrifice the amendment. One new provision in the measure which will be welcomed by all officers Is that the government shall furnish uniforms and equipment to officers at cost — t a — r- ContInulng its efforts to clear up the muddled aircraft .production situation, and at the same time evading the de­ mand for the creation of a separate department of aeronautics, the ad­ ministration made.

In starting on his new work, Mr. Ryan made no boasts or promises of what he would accom­ plish, but said he hoped order would soon be established in the airplane branch and that quantity production of military planes would be accom­ plished. The De Haviland 4’s im­ proved to meet all objections, he said, are now being turned out rapidly and orders for the Liberty 12 motor have been increased from 22,500 to SO,000. Our allies like these engines so well that we cannot keep up with their de­ mands for them. First Assistant Secretary of War Benedict Crowell has been made di­ rector of munitions and given the pow­ er to keep our forces supplied with all the munitions they require. —to — The long-expected shortage of gaso­ line is developing, and consequently the fuel administration last week re­ quested that for the present all auto­ mobiles, motorboats and motorcydes, used for pleasure, be not used on Sun­ days, In all states east of the Missis­ sippi river. As the gasoline is needed for war-purposes, all patriotic owners of cars accepted the request as a com­ mand. —. Members of congress who liave been pacifists and anti-war obstructionists have been having a bard time, to the great satisfaction of all true patriots. The list of those turned down by their constituents already includes Senator Vardanian of Mississippi and Repre­ sentatives Lundeen of Minnesota, Dil­ lon of South Dakota, Woods of Iowa, McLemore of Texas, Crosser and Gor­ don of Ohio, Shackdford and Hamlln' of Missouri, Keho of Florida and Sloan of Nebraska. Last week Cole Blease, pacifist candidate for'the senate In South Carolina, was' defeated, and Henry Ford failed to get the Repub­ lican nomination In Michigan, though the Democrats did accept him.

Synopsis--Fired by the sinking of the Lusitania, with the loss of American lives, Arthur Guy Empey, an American living in Jersey City, goes to England and enlists as a private in the British army. After a short experience as a recruiting officer In London, he is sent to train­ ing quarters in France, where he first hears the sound of big guns and makes the acquaintance of “cooties.” After a brief period of training Empey’s company is sent into the front-line trenches, where he takes his first turn on the fire step while the bullets whiz overhead. Empey learns, as comrade falls, that death lurks always In the trenches. Chaplain distinguishes himself by rescuing wounded men under hot fire. With pick and shovel Empey has experience as a trench digger In No Man’s Land. After exciting experiences on listening post detail and observation post duty, Empey is picked for patrol duty In No Man’s Land' and. has narrow escape from death. CHAPTER XVlII—Continued. *—14— tVhile they are talking, an old Jew iamed Ikey Cohenstein comes along, ind Abe engages him for cashier. After sngaging Ikey they meet an old Southern negro called Sambo, and ipon the suggestion of Ikey he is en­ gaged as porter. Then the three of them, arm in arm, leave to take pos- iession of this wonderful palace which Abe has just paid $6,000 for. (Cur­ tain.) In the second act the curtain rises on the Interior of the Diamond Palace saloon, and the audience gets its first shock. The saloon looks like a pig­ pen, two tramps lying drunk on the door, and the bartender In a dirty shirt with his sleeves rolled up, asleep with his head on the bar. Enter Abe, Sambo and Ikey, and the Un commences. One of the characters In the second jet was named Broadway Eate,.and I bad an awful job to break in one of die Tommies to act and talk like a woman. Another character was Alknll Ike, an Arizona cowboy, who just before the close of the play comes into the saloon and wrecks it with his revolver. We had eleven three-hour rehearsals jefore I thought it advisable to pre­ sent the sketch to the public. The whole brigade was crazy to .fitness the first performance. This performance was scheduled for Friday night and everyone was full of antici­ pation; when bang I orders came through that the brigade would move at two that afternoon. Cursing and blinding was the order of things upon the receipt of this order, but we moved. That night we reached the UtGe vil­ lage of S and again went into rest billets. We were to be there two weeks. Our company immediately got busy and scoured the village for a suitable place in which to present our production. Then we received another shock. A rival company was already estab­ lished In the village. They called themselves “The Bow Bells,” and put on a sketch entitled, “Blighty— Wbat Hopes?” They were the divi­ sional concert party. We hoped they all would be soon In BUghty to give us a chance. This company charged an admission of a franc per head, and that night our company went en masse to see their performance. It really was good. I had a sinking sensation when I thought of running my sketch in op­ position to IL In one of their scenes they had a soubrette called Flossie. The soldier that took this part was clever and tnade a fine-appearing and chic girl. We Immediately feU In love with her until two days after, while we were on a march, we passed Flossie with "her” sleeves rolled up and the sweat pouring from “her” face unloading shells from a motor lorry. As our section passed4 her I yelled out: “Hello, Flossie; BUghty--What Hopes?” Herreply m adeourlovedle out instantly. "Ah, go to h—I!” This brought quite a laugh from the marching column directed at me, and I Instantly made up my mind that our sketch should immediately run In op­ position to “Blighty—What Hopes?” When we returned to our billet from the march, Curley Wallace, my the­ atrical partner, came running over to me and said he had found a swanky place In which to produce, our show. After taking off my equipment, and followed by the rest of the section, I went over to the building he had picked out. It was a monstrous barn with a platform at one end which would make an ideal stage. The section got right on the job, and before night had that place rigged out in apple-pie order. The next day was Sunday and after church parade we put all our time on a dress rehearsal, and it went fine. I made four or five large signs an­ nouncing that our company would open up that evening at the King George the Fifth theater, on the comer of Ammo street and Sandbajg terrace. General admission was one-half franc. First ten rows in orchestra one franc, and boxes two francs. By this time our printed programs had returned from London, and I further announced that on the night of the first performance a program would be given free of charge to men holding tickets costing a franc or over. We had an orchestra of seven men and seven different Instruments. This orchestra was excellent, while they were not playing. The performance was scheduled to start at 6 p. m. At 5 :15 there was a mob in front of our one entrance and it looked like a big night. We had two boxes each ac­ commodating four people, and these, we immediately sold out. Then a brilliant Idea came to Ikey Cohenstein. Why not use the rafters overhead, call them boxes, and charge two francs for a seat on them? The only difficulty was how were the men to reach these boxes, but to Ikey this was a mere de­ tail. He got long ropes and tied one end around each rafter and then Ged a lot of knots In the ropes. These ropes would take the place of stairways. We figured out that the rafters would seat about forty men and sold that number of Gckets accordingly. When the Gcketholders for the boxes got a glimpse of the rafters and were informed that they had to use the rope stairway, there was a howl of indigna­ tion, but we had their money and told them that if they did not like it they could write to the management later and their money would be refunded; but under these condiGons they would not be allowed to witness the perform­ ance that night. After a IitGe grousing they accepted the situaGon with the promise Giat if the show was rotten they, certainly would let us know about it during the performance. Everything went lovely and it was a howling success, until Alkali Ike ap­ peared on the scene with his revolver loaded with blank cartridges. Behind the bar on a shelf was a long line of botGes. Alkali Ike was supposed to start on the left of this line and break six of the boGles by firing at them with his revolver. Behind these botGes a piece of painted canvas was supposed to represent the back of the bar, at each shot TTom Alkali’s pistdl a man behind the scenes would hit one of the I T- HimcbK POBUC INRtfStfiHgNi botGes with his entrenching tool handle and smash Vt, to give the im­ pression that Alkali was a good shot. Alkali Ike started in and aimed at the right of the lint of botGes instead of the left, and the poor boob behind the scenes started bf eaking the bottles on the left,, and thon the boxholders turned loose; but outside of this little fiasco the performance was a huge suc­ cess, and we decldr/d to run it for a week. New troops were constanUy coming through, and for six performances we had the “S. B. Q,” fifgn suspended out­ side. CHAPTER XIX. On His 0' vn. Of course-Tommy cannot always b, producing plays under fire but whili in rest billets he has numerous othei ways of amusing himself. He is a great gambler, but never plays for large stakes. Generally, In each com­ pany, you will find.a regular Canfield. This man banks nearly all the games of chance and is an undisputed author­ ity on the rules of gambling. When­ ever there is an argument among the Tommies about some uncertain point as to whether Houghtcn is entitled to Watkins’ sixpence, the matter is taken to the recognized authority and his de­ cision is finaL The two most popular games are "Crown and Anchor” and “House.” The paraphernalia used in “Crown and Anchor” consists of a piece of can­ vas two feet by three feet. This is divided into six equal squnres. In these squares are painted a club, diamond, heart, spade, crown, and an anchor, one device to a square. There are three dice used, each dice marked tho same as the canvas.' Thq banker sets up his gambling outfit in the corner ol a billet and starts bally-hooing until a crowd of Tommiefi gathers around; then the game starts. The Tommies plane bets on the squares, the crown- or anchor being played the m ost The banker then rolls his three dice and collects or pays out as the case may be. If you plaj the crown and one shows up on the dice, you get even money, if two show up, you receive two to one, and if three, three to one. If the crown does not ap pear and you have bet on It, you lose, and so on. The percentage for the banker is large Ir' every square is played, but if the crowd is partial to, say two squares, he has to trust t« luck. The banker generally wins. The game of “Ho* os” is very populai also. It takes two men to run it This game consists of numerous squares oi cardboard containing three rows ol numbers, five numbers to a row. Th< numbers run from one to ninety. Eact card has a different (omblnaGon. The French “estandnets” In the vil lages are open from eleven in the morn­ ing until one In the afternoon in ac cordance with army orders. After dinner the Tommies congre gate at these places to drink Frencl beer at a penny a glass and pla] "House.” As soon as the catamlnet is suffi CienGy crowded the- proprietors of th< “House” game get busy and, os the] term It, “form a school.” This consist: of going around and selling cards a' a franc each. If they have ten In thi school, the backers of the game de duct two francs for their trouble an( the winner gets eigb! francs. Then the game stuts. Each buyei places his card before him on the ta ble, first breaking up matches into fif teen pieces. One of the backer: of the gat ie hsi a small cloth bag in which are ainet] cardboard squares, each with t. num ber printed thereon, iSSim one to nine ty. He raps on the table and criei out: “Eyes down, my )ucky lads.” AU noise ceases and -every one is at tention. The croupier places bis hand Sn th: bag and draws forth a nm-iberel square and immediatel}* calls out the number. The man who owns the cart with that parGcular number on it covers the square with a natch. Tht one who covers the fifteen numbers oi bis card first shouts “House.” Th: other backer immediately comes ovet to .him and verifies tho card by callin; out the numbers thereon to the mar with the bag. As each number I: caUed he picks it tfdt of the one* picked from the bag and says, “Right; H the count is right he shouts, “Housi correct, pay the lucky genUeman, an< sell him a card for the, next school.' The “lucky gentleman" genet ally buji , one unless he has a miser trace L his veins. Then another collection is made, j school formed, and they carry on wifi the game.

DISPATCHES FROM RALEIGH Doings and Happenings That ’ Mark the Progress of North Carolina Peo­ ple, Gathered Around the State Capital. Raleigh. The North Carolina Farmers’ con­ tention, more than 1,000 strong, heard overnor Bickett in a stirring address In which he stressed the great respon­ sibility resGng on the farmers of the country in producing the food sup­ plies during the period of the war and urged that .their effort in this state be concentrated in this direc- Gon and the most intensive farming methods applied. Hon. D. A. Houston, president of the Federal Loan Bank at Columbia, told of the development of the fed­ eral land bank movements and of steadily increasing utilization of this financial aid for the North Carolina farmers. J. W. Kinghorn, of Washington, department ,of agriculture, discussed methods of obtaining the highest mar­ ket prices for eggs, and H. H. Wag­ ner of the United States department, explained the application of the food and drug law ot the shipment of eggs. Hon. Everett Colby of Washington discussed the attitude of the United States food-administrarion In the con­ trol of the food situation, and Col. C. E. Osbley, assistant secretary of agriculture, made a stirring address Fearful Storm’In East Carolina. Belated reports from several east­ ern North Carolina points indicate damages to the extent of consider­ ably more than a million dollars to buildings and crops, and the loss ot at least one life in the storm. Beau­ fort, Morehead City, New Bern and Kinston reported the severest dam­ age, indicating that they were in the center of the storm area. Wire com­ munication with Kinston and New Bern were restored direct reports from the other coast towns had not been secured. Reports from New Bern tell of ex­ tensive damage to property, overhead wire systems and to crops, principally corn and cototn. The damage to the crops is general. BeauforLand More- head City were the greatest suffer­ ers, John Crabtree, city alderman of New Bern, was crushed and instantly killed by the roof of a shanty car, when it was blown from Its fastenings into an adjoining street. The storm struck New Bern In the afternoon and continued throughout ♦he night. Ships were blown from their moorings and beached, houses were unroofed- and the streets littered and blocked by fallen trees and tele­ graph poles. The electric lighting sys­ tem was completely knocked out and wire communicaUon with the outside world cut off. Reports from Kinston declared that the wind reached a velocity of 80 miles an hour, leveling all wires, and doing considerable damage of a mi­ nor nature to a number of buildings. The lighting system was completely demoralized and the little city was in total darkness. The streets were lit­ tered with debris and several suffer­ ed minor injuries. Matters are rapid­ ly adjusting themselves, or are being adjusted but it will be some days be­ fore normal conditions are restored. Great Order for Cross-Ties. The federal railroad administration gave to Jonathan Starr, of New York, and .business associates, the largest cross-tie order ever given before. Mr. Starr ^rill cut the timber and furnish from five to six million ties. Mr. Starr has purchased 165,000 acres in the sapphire country of Geor­ gia, South Carolina and North Caro­ lina, and will begin operations at once with 50 saw mills. The total output of the big tract purchased by Mr. Starr and those as­ sociated with him will approximate $20,000,000, and much of the prod­ ucts is to be shipped to France for railroad and other construction work. AU of the output of the sapphire for­ est tract will go to the government tor its own use and that of its allies. “I will take much of this timber “The new conservation program an- out over the-Southern railway from points in North and South Carolina,1 said Mr. Starr. “We will do lots of hauling on motor trucks and branch railroads. The government will get every-bit of the timber we cut if it Wants it. We shall not sell to pri­ vate interests a single stick." , Mr. Starr will make his headqua-r ters In Charlotte or Asheville, which­ ever he finds the most convenient. Food Conservation Program. “The new conservatio nprogram an­ nounced by Mr. Hoover simplifies to some extent the problem of enforce­ ment for the food administration and simplifies the problem from the stand­ point of observance for the consumer” declared State Administrator Henry ,A. Page, after receiving and studying a- telegram from Food Administrator Hoover announcing the new program. “Every American citizen and par­ ticularly every housewife should study carefully and preserve Mr. Hoover’s announcement ol the new conserva­ tion program. "It will be noted that the food ad­ ministration is depending upon the American people for voluntary adher­ ence to the conservation program, The response of the American people has been so immediate and so effect­ ive with regard to every economy that has been requested by the food ad- ministraGon, it is felt that they can be relied upon to give practically any measure of voluntary co-operation that may be asked. Great Distribution of Bibles. J. Q. Swann, a colporteur' for the American Bibie Society reports hav­ ing distributed recently 1,282 Bibles and Testaments. The society, Mr. Swann said) was instituted in the year 1816 and since its incepoitn had ssued probably more than 147,000,000 books of Scripture and since our par­ ticipation in the war 4 against Ger­ many, had published, for the army, several million books of scripture, one 'million being pocket testamentB in khaki and navy blue, all of which have been distributed or soon will be. Aerial Patrol Station. - Governor Bickett authorized the statement that he had tendered to the United States navy department the use of Camp Glenn, Morehead City, for the establishment of a naval sea­ plane patrol station and training camp, and says that just as soon as some minor local adjustments are made as to environments,, the order designating this new federal enter­ prise for North Carolina will issue, and probably $2,000,000 will' be * ex­ pended in equipping the station and training camp. , Early Call for Road Meet. A conference of delegates from each of the “10 or more” counties between Charlotte and Wilmington through which the. proposed Charlotte-Wil­ mington military highway will pass, will be called soon for Tuesday. Sep­ tember 24; at Rockingham, and an effort will be made to secure , an at­ tendance of from 1,500 to 2,000- dele­ gates and officials. At this conference, the permanent organization of the Chariotte-Wil- mington 'Military Highway Associa­ tion will be formed. Committees will be charged with the duty of taking up with federal, state and county authorities the matter of obtaining finances for the construction of the road. . State Engineer Fallis will be ask­ ed to submit a profile of the proposed road, and suggestions as to -the best route to be followed and the most de­ sirable method of construction. Recent N. C.

Page rel­ ative to the standard price- that has b.een fixed for ginning for the com­ ing season throughout the state. Their protests were unavailing. . The state food administration an­ nounced that numbers of protests from farmers against the change in price, as well as from ginners, h*ave been received. This has strengthened Mr. Page in his belief that the priceB as fixed are equitable.

War Horse Still a Factor. Despite Gie vast numbers of motor vehicles used on the European battle fronts, Gie horse is still important as an engine of war. The armies in the field have already used 4,500,000 horses, and our new army will require 1,500,- 000 more. Wounded horses are easily handled. They seem to know that the surgeons are trying to help them and they sub­ bit to having their hurts dressed with wonderful fortitude.

GOOD HANDLING SAVES EGGS Big Loss' Can Be Prevented ' If Pro. ducer and Country Merchant' Take Precautions. (Prepared by the U nited States. D epart­m ent of A griculture.). Not long ago four men worked half a day grading “current receipts” of eggs as they, were received at a city market. They candled out one hun­ dred dollars worth of rots, spots, and Incubated eggs. This loss could so easily have been prevented if only the producer ' and the country merchant had handled the eggs promptly. The hen lays a fresh egg; the con­ sumer demands a fresh egg. Eggs are a highly perishable product, and grad­ ually deteriorate with age. Heat is their enemy; cold Is their friend. The shorter the time and the more direct, their route from nest to packing house, the smaller the opportunity for ioss. The proper handling of eggs is not a one-man job. Many people are con­ cerned in it. Their Interests are com­ mon, and mutual understanding and co-operation between them benefit all alike. The farmer’s part in the general scheme of good marketing is to bring good eggs to market. To accomplish this, he should market his eggs fre­ quently, not let them accumulate. The dealer’s job is to keep the eggs good. His slogan should be “ship promptly and properly.” The sooner an egg is put under refrigeration and started for -the market, the better its quality when it reaches its final des­ tination, and the higher its value.

Prepared by the United States Depart­ ment of Agriculture.) Every true American is asking, “How can I best do my part to help win the war?” One of the means to this end is to set the back yard to work. Those who have suitable land are cultivating vegetable gardens to help increase the food supply. There are, however, many back yards not suitable for the making of a garden which may be profitably utilized for back yard poultry keeping. In every household, no matter how economical the housewife, there Is a certain amount of table scraps and kitchen waste which has feeding value, but which, if not fed, finds its way Into the garbage pail. Poultry is the only class of domestic animals which is. suitable for converting this waste ma­ terial, right where it is produced In the city, into wholesome and nutritious food in the form of eggs and poultry meat. A small number of chickens can be kept in almost any back yard. If poultry houses are not available, hens can be housed at small expense in UFT OFF CORNS!

Berry Walt, accompanied by his sorrel clioiv, was walking on the Biar­ ritz promenade when a young lady in one of the new 191S blouses passed. The blouse was cut very, very low in the neck, the short sleeves did not reach the elbow, and the material em­ ployed was of the finest,' sheerest gauze. “There goes the young countess de la Tour," said Mr. Wall’s companion. “What airs she puts on I” “Well," said- Mr. Wall, ‘‘with a blouse like that it’s necessary to put on something, isn’t it?” Occasionally a mother meets a young woman who is almost good enough to, become the wife of her son. Milwaukee is recruiting a unit of 25, expert women stenographers for over­ seas service. Measure Socks With a Ruler. A ruler and not a tape measure Should be used in determiuiii" the length of- socks knitted to Itetl Croa requirements. Feet must be from 11 to I l1,1 inches long. Socks should not lie larger tlmn standard in one place and smaller than standard in another. However, socks that are well proportioned are accept­ ed, if they are slightly over or slightly under standard. Not Good, Eh?

Each hen In her pullet year ] should produce ten dozen eggs. The I average size of the back yard flock, should be at least ten hens. Thus each flock would produce in a_year IOfi dozen eggs, which at the, conservative value of 25 cents a dozen would be,; worth 525. By keeping a back yard ; poultry flock the family would not only help in reducing the cost of living,, but would hnvq eggs of a quality and fresh­ ness which are often .difficult to obtain. Poultry keeping, although' a com­ paratively simple undertaking, will be successful in direct proportion to the study and labor which are expended upon it. There is , an abundance of good material on the subject, but “Back Yard Poultry Keeping” (Farm-' ers’ Bulletin SS9), .a recent publication of the United. States department of agriculture, contains all the general directions needed'to make a start. It tells how to overcome the objections to keeping poultry In the city, what kinds of fowls to keep, the size of the flock computed according to the' size of the back yard, gives definite instruc­ tions as\ tq the best kinds of chicken hoiises to build, with'bill of materials for same, directions as to feeding the fowls, hatching and raising chicks, pre­ vention of diseases and pests, and many other matters essential to the success of Jhe undertaking. Another helpful bulletin of a' general character is /‘Hints to Poultry Kaisers” (Farm; ers’ Bulletin 523)!

W hen a cup of syrup or honey is used to replace a cup of sugar the liquid in the recipes should be decreased one-fourth. One-third of a cupful of sugar is equivalent — ........., to one-third of a cup of honey, about one- half cup of syrup and- about one-half cup of corn sugar. One-fourth of a cup of sugar is equal to about one-half cup of syrup or one-third cup of corn sugar. One table­ spoon of sugar is equal to one tablespoon of honey, about one and one-half tablespoons of syrup and one and one- third tablespoons of corn sugar. Sugar m ay be saved by the use of raisins, dates, figs, dried pears and fruit pastes used on the breakfast cereals. F ruit m arm alades, butters and jellies should be used to take the place of the ordinary sw eetening at a meal and not as accessories to it. Fruits may be preserved w ithout sugar. It m ay be added when sugar is m ore plentiful. Preserving dem ands this year a thin syrup instead of a heavy syrup. If sugar is used one-half of the am ount m ay be replaced by another sweetener.

W hen sugar is m ore plentiful fruit juices may be m ade into jellies or m ay be used as fruit juices with or w ithout. sugar, as beverages, fruit gelatins and frozen desserts. Fresh fruits supply the place of sugar in the diet. They should be used freely. Desserts w here sugar is scarce may be m ade of gelatins, junkets, custards, puddings and cakes. THE SLACKER Thronghout North Carolina and the nation sentiment toward the slacker is crystalizing and the fine finger of • scorn and contempt is searching him out. There are several varieties of slackers. Here are some of them : The service slacker—the man who should be in the ranks and is not. The labor slacker—the man who is able to work and doesn’t. The food slacker—the male or female hog who refuses to readjust their diet so as to meet the demands of our Allies for those foodstuffs which may he exported. The financial slacker—the individual who can but does not buy Liberty bonds and W ar Savings Stamps. Slacking at home means more blood spilled by true blue American boys, in France. Slacking in America means starvation for innocent women mid children in England, France and Italy. Slacking at home is a menace to the success of the American, B ritish and French arms in France. THE SLACKER’S REWARD The intelligent, observant, patriotic people of America will not forgive slacking. -. The slacker is a marked man. Not only during the war, but as the w ar goes on and the casualty lists come in he will be more and more scorned and hated by decent .-citizens. A fter the w ar is over he will be an object of contempt. He will be w ithout the regard of decent people-in his ^-Community. His children and his children’s children ?t#*tfer him w ill pay a bitter price for his disloyalty^-For i.*his failure under test to do his duty by fes country afid by hum anity. . . ‘ ^ ‘■“'feexbraM e fate is setting him apart and he will not escape.1 -7' ’ E veiy Bushel Saved Now W ill SupplyaSoIdierw rfchB read UntU N ext H arvest. i IZQ m illion.JkIiie s m u st e a t Upited States Food Administration! •vSc.-'j' HEALTH RWEaLTlT bufht STATEBQAFtDGF Health-HYgiejI I ANMfCHKS M TND The Chaiipg Ways of Medicine wiTH ONE GULP CiNA PlU DOMH WrtOtE METHODS CHANGE. • KiUnoNl ON NttlTH. mOUM KMD UNfTATKM or OANCKAI, OfTfNIAT ™ _______/ CDtVMN* OA AT Nllk IN KOOOAAAfO TO TNfA OTrrCA CA TO TH* OTATA BOKAO OA MAkTN AT AOOOWKANlia!C- Ar a ATAHrKo.

The old time doctor :thought he couldn’t get along without a malodorous atmosphere. The old time doctor was a florid-faced gentle- 'man with an awkward corporation which was hard and always In his. way, bald or growing so, but framed in a luxurious fringe of unsanitary whiskers which vied with his clothes in emitting strong Havana, carrying In his right hand a spoon with a han­ dle three feet long and- his left, con­ cealed behind his back, a pint bottle of castor oil. That pioture, thank heaven, is now obsolete. Today the doctor's beard is conspicuous by its absence, except­ ing in the movies and in quack book­ lets. Baldness rather tends to cut down a man’s practiee. Toiith is holding the van in the march of medi­ cine. Doctors are growing human. There aTe many households where the chil­ dren actually welcome the doctor’s visit and are his pals. They run to meet him, instead of Tunning to hide when his castor oily countenance darkens the door. A lot easier to care for such children; they have no spasms of fear and are never threat­ ened with a visit from the “doctor man.” The doctors improve along With their medicine. Such a simple remedy as a good doctor would pre­ scribe for pneumonia, typhoid fever or heart disease nowadays, would have been enough to bring the blush of shame to the practitioner of a gen­ eration ago. Worse yet, it’ doesn’t taste horrible. There is the best of reason for the simplicity of modern treatment. When a doctor knows what he is trying to accomplish, he uses simple tools. When he doesn’t know, but just wish­ es to conceal .his ignorance, he pre­ scribes some fearfully and wonderful­ ly made concoction which no human mind can hope to fathom—and then he defends himself by saying he is after results. And all the nostrum makers, medical crooks and incompe­ tents in the country applaud his meth­ ods. They’re after results too, and you can ask any bank whether they get them. If I were ill and my attending phy­ sician should prescribe for me some concoction with a parlor car" title, the formula of which he didn’t know and the action of which he could not ex­ plain, I should request him to with­ draw and let some one treat me who And So Do Doctors, Who Vq Longer Are to Be Feared Becausei of Their Malodorous Doses. ment may meet the requirements, and we apply it accordingly. The old almanac way, you know, was to "try” this, that and the other thing, in a blind, hit or miss fashion, whatever your friends might suggest, without any more definite guide in its selection than a vague guess about the nature of the illness.

Soap and water and elbow grease—and conscience—are the best disinfectants under the sun. The sun itself is the peer of all disinfec­ tants. Where darkness prevails, germs thrive. Where light streams in, germs die. Women's faces are growing redder and men’s faces are growing whiter year by year. With the woman, it is mostly art; with the men it is mostly efficiency.

G&OV2$» 30c» Tour For Liberty Loan Considered v By The President. / It is believed that President Wil­ son is contemplating a nation-wide tour- of the country during the fourth: Liberty Loan campaign, which is scheduled to begin Septem ber 28. The President today wrote a letter to Representative Charles H. Randall, Prohibitionist, of Califor­ nia, indicating that he would like to visit California during the next few months. Mr. Randall had written to the President asking hi*n to come to .California in October, and while the invitation was not accepted, nei. ther was it refused. **Eve«; since I came to Washington Ihave niotonlywished to visit the Pacific;. Coast,” said the President iu-.his letter to Mr. Randall, “but have repeatedly tried to work out a plan to do so, but always something has.intervened which made it my imperative duty to remain in Wash­ ington. I-You- may be sure, however, that I shall not give up hope or stop trying to make the plan.” In making this part of the Presi­ dent’s letter public Mr. Randall stated that he had assurance that the programme for the President to tour tlie West is already in pre- cess of formation and that the date suggested by him. namely, October, will be adopted. Mr. Randall stated also that, the tour will be completed probably with the final date of the fourth - Liberty Loan campaign, which has,been fixed for Oct. 19. It became known today that Post­ master General Burleson has been instrumental in having some mem­ bers of Congress write to the Presi­ dent extending to him an invitation to visitJjheir-States during October, Mr. Randall is thus far the only one who has received a reply, so far as has been ascertained.' mediate interest on the part of Re­ publicans in Congress. They see in it a carefully devised piece of politi­ cal strategy, to be staged as a part of the Democratic campaign for re twining control of House and Senate.

Any reflection upon the Democratic majority, it is said, would be attacked promptly, by Democratic spellbinders as pro Ger­ man and anti-American and as tend­ ing to interfere with the sale of Lib­ erty Bonds. Republicans feel that their disad­ vantage would be increased many times over if the President were making a personal tour of the coun­ try. Naturallythey would not ex­ press any opposition to it today, bnt they are plainly disturbed over the effect they anticipate such a tour will have upon the Republican cam­ paign for obtaining control of Con­ gress.

The War Industries Board has de creed that paper (news print paper) will be supplied to newspapers aftei October 1st only on condition thai the papers put their subscription on a cash in advance basis. It is not t- matter over which the papers have any control. In order to obtain print paper a pledge must be signed that the paper will not be sent Jt- any one who has not paid in ad­ vance, and if at any later date the papers violate the pledge the supply of paper will be withheld. The same regulation will deny to papers the privilege of mailing the paper to friends of relatives as this paper and many others have done. Have ■you been receiving the paper com plimentary? if so you will not ge: it after October 1st The editor of this paper has several friends t(. whom the paper has been sent with­ out compensation or the expectation of compensation, but he cannot con­ tinue to do so after October 1st. I’ such persons want the paper to con­ tinue they must send us a dollar be­ fore October 1st. 1918, If you dr. this your subscription will be mark­ ed paid up to October 1st 1919. And our regular subscribers must do likewise. If you. want the paper to be continued call- and settle any amount you may be owing and then Pay one dollar for the paper a year in advance. . This regulation will have to be ob served and this paper is going to observe it simply, because it has to do so if it continues in business. We are frank to say that we do not like the regulation and if you. our readers do not like it, put the blame where it belongs, not on the editor of this paper. Let us urge our friends and sub­ scribers to give this matter their immediate attention, Call and set­ tle.your account or if it is not con­ venient to call, write for a statement of your account and th<; same wid be sent to you. Don’t delay this matter. Attend to it today. We give you this timely warning “W. S.

There was really no necessity for thus violating the Sabbath' and the Republicans did not engage Sn this violation.

And you might go fur­ ther and point out that in volunteer ing and in financial aid to all war enterprises, the big Republican states of the Union lead and the so­ lid Democratic states lag at the tail end of the procession.

Y. ,fW. S. S.” Johnson Hears Echoes.' Washington. Aug. 14—Immediate Iy following his remarks in the Sen­ ate criticising the delays in trans mission of letters from the United States to soldiers in France Senator Johnson, of California, was over whelmed with letters from all parts of the country telling of individual instances in which people had been unable to get letters to their rela­ tives in the army overseas. In order that the Senate and the country might know that his criticisms were not based upon an isolated instance, Senator Johnson read excerpts from letters from various .showing that although fathers and mothers had written to their sons promptly and regularly, yet the letters did not reach the boys after periods of from six weeks to two months. The delay in transmission of letters from France to the United States is great, but not so serious as in the sending of letters from the United States to France. _ Senator Johnson said he had received letters from France that had been on the way for -live weeks. A striking demonstration of the delay was in the form of an ac­ count of a visit he bad received ,Fork News Notes.

Sobis one la going to wl3h to hong UmaeU after the war 1« over. How Oo we know? It I* a principle as old and.true «a life. Shakespeare gave expression to it when he made Henry IV wave his hand to a' delinquent sol­ dier. after an important hattle had heen fought, and say, "Hang yourself Crlllon. We have fought at Argues and you were not. there.” • Historians say that it all the tragedies of wars could be written, the saddest chapters would he those which recorded the victims of relentless remorse—the Judases who went out and hanged themselves, because their God and their country called and they did not go. There are four occasions on which * man who did not answer his coun­ try’s call at a time of need will wish to hang himself when the war is over. The .first of: these will be when the soldiers return, hattle scarred but vic­ torious and happy, and when he will be called upon to face them and an­ swer in his soul what he did to help to bring them back safe and triumph­ ant. As they will march for the grand review before the President, and then before the Governor, and later through the streets i>f his own little town, when millions will thrill and shout their throats hoarse with praise and acclamations, then will he hate him- eelf. Down in his heart he will wish that he were hanging from a tree over a cliff. Another occasion on which such a man will be called -to face another gen­ eration,—It may be his own children, —who when they have asked every question concerning the war, will look with great 'expectancy into his face and ask, What did you do to help win the war? Itother than disappoint one of these little ones, he would rather that a millstone were about his neck and that he were drowned at the bot­ tom of the sea. Then there is public opinion that ho will meet face to face day after day as long as he lives. He may heap deeds' upon deeds of patriotism, but he can never live down the ignominy brought upon himself and his poster­ ity by refusing to heed his country’s call. No attempt that he may make as an effort to declare his patriotism or redeem his record of dishonor will be accepted by merciless public opin­ ion. Nothing he can say or little that he can do will atone, for the charge that his country called and he was not there. And yet the greatest of an his ac­ cusers will be his conscience. He will seek to hide from this by day and Bee from it by night, but its ever ac­ cusing finger will be present. Forget it, he can not. His spirit will ever din into- his ears the condemning voice, saying, “A great battle was fought for God and right and you were not there. Go hang yeurself." Who Ie the ManT The man who will want to hung himself after the war will belong to one of three classes, traitor, slacker, profiteer—three words of the most ig­ nominious meaning in the Snglish lan­ guage today. It his crime be that of a traitor it does net necessarily mean that he crossed the seas and betrayed the ,movement of troops, or gave out other !information that aided the enemy. On the other hand, it may mean, and .most Hkely does mean, that he was one whose fortune it was to remain ‘at home, but who'refused to support his Government by complying with its .▼arious requests, which hindered its program, prolonged'the war and cost !the lives of thousands of .American soldiers; or he criticised the Govern­ ment which; gave rise to enemy prop­ aganda end furthered its. spread so as to benefit the enemy; or he worked for personal alms first, which wiUiheld the support from the Government that gave the advantage to the enemy. If his crime be that of a slacker It may not mean that he resisted the draft and refused to serve in some branch of the army or navy, only, but it may mean, that he refused to serve at the smaller tasks at home to which he was called. Perhaps it did not suit his convenience to comply with War measures,—to observe meatless and wheatless days, to consume less coal, to refrain from unnecessary- expendi­ tures that he might have money to loan the Government by buying Lib­ erty Bonds or War Savings Stamps, or, perhaps, he was called on to give of his time and services, and sacrifice personal pleasures and desireB for a time, none of which he has the record of doing. And if It should be for the reason that he was a profiteer,—made money out of the war,—it is likely that it means that he drove hard bargains with the Government and took advan­ tage of the country’s exigencies, or that he competed with the Govern­ ment in using for private gains the labor and material needed for fight­ ing the war, or that he refused to lend his money to the Government by buying War Savings Stamps and Lib­ erty Bonds for the reason he preferred to use it in private investments which, •he said, would net him bigger divi­ dends. Is it any wonder when a man reads his credit sheet after the war is over and finds there no statement of any. personal service rendered, no gifts or loans of money, no instances of in­ convenience or sacrifices made for his country’s cause,—Is it any wonder that he will wish to go out and hang him­ self? As to Credit—Do We Deserve ItT ■ It we save and thereby better our financial position and at the same ; time help our Government win the i war, are we deserving of credit? I When Uncle Sam asks us to save to , help win the war he asks us to (do I ourselves a great favor; and yet, sim- j ply because the need Is great and the I appeal urgent, and because the na­ tion pleads with us to do this simple thing, we are prone to look upon it as a great favor to the country, and to stick feathers In our hats and go strut­ ting around because we granted It. It’s patriotic, all right. It helps the country—not only now, but later; not only for the war, but for the trial of national fiber that comes after the war—but it helps us even more. And it is so easy, so much more helpful to ourselves than to the coun­ try, so small a thing to do compared with what our boys In arms are doing that it really is a joke to pin -roses on ourselves for doing it. Lest We Forget to Do Otir Part, “Please God, our love of life is not so priced as love of right In this renaissance of our country’s valor, we who will edge the wedge of her as­ sault,, make 'calm acceptance of its hazards. For us, the steel-swept trench, the stiffening cold—weariness, hardship, worse. For you, for whom we go, you mMlions safe at home— what for you? We shall heed clothes for our bodies and weapons for our hands. We shall need terribly and without failure supplies and equip­ ment in a stream that is constant and never-ending. From you, who are our resource and reliance, who are the heir and hope of that humanity for which we smite and strive, must come these things.” (Signed), CITIZEN SOLDIER, No. 268 (Unidentified District) Na­ tional Army.

Take any of the more common dis­ eases In which a chill or chilliness is an early symptom, such as pneumo­ nia, acute septicemia (blood poison­ ing from infected wound),- childbed fever (blood poisoning from uncleanly management), erysipelas, quinsy and other acute sore throats, tensilitls, bronchitis, typhoid (some cases), ma­ laria. Nowadays we know that all th6se diseases are due to infection by germs or parasites, and that none of them is caused by exposure to cold, notwithstanding the chili or chilliness so frequently experienced at the on­ set. Indeed, any one who would at­ tribute malaria or childbed fever to "taking cold” could scarcely have a serious hearing among intelligent peo­ ple today. But there remains a consid­ erable amount of chatter about "taking cold” In connection with some of theBe infections, and now is a good time to lcok into the chatter a bit. A man sustains a cut or other slight Injury of the hand. He neglects it, or maybe he puts on some old salve or a “rag”—either of which may be literally Bwarming with germs. In a few days the little wound begins to trouble the man. It smarts or pains, or the flesh about it swells at»d looks red, and little red streaks rs? r '*5 the arm, and little sore kernels are felt under the armpit, and the man feels ehilly, then decides he is getting "grippe,” whatever that may be, and —well, some old fogy happens along and says, “Why, you’ve taken cold in It!’* And sure enough the poor fel­ low has been chilly all morning. The truth is that the wound has bees In- focted by ignorant care, the man has septicemia (blood poisoning), and the chilliness is merely one of the earlier signs that the geram have invaded the blood. ; Same thing happens in tonsilitis, quinsy, bronchitis, even in coryza (so- called cold in the head). Only here the germs have managed to get in without any visible wound or cut to siiford entrance. -Leave. It to the germs! Just 1st some one with a Vight^ cold” sneeze open-facs or ccuigh with uamuzaled mouth in your immediate vicinity, aqd the germs will find their ; way to yeur nose Or throat, all right! Long ago, before the nature of pneu­ monia was understood, the doctors themselves attributed to the chiti of onset a causative role. Later, whan the pneumococcus waB found to be the cause of pnewnonla', the older physicians -revised their ancient the­ ory somewhat, relegating exposure to E R CoffifortlEconoray1SatIsfaction Comfort, in the fefcl of well fitting clothes.

Today we know, as a scientifically ascertain­ able fact, that the chill so frequently occuring at the onset of pneumonia is a result of the germ infection, that the chill follows infection of the lungs with the germs, and so the poor old doctors who have been clinging ot the "exposure” Idea haven’t a leg left to stand on, - and modern physicians i and health authorities everywhere are teaching that "every cold Is due to a transfer of Infection from one per- BOn to another.” Have a. chill if you must, but can the chatter. 3F©SR W B C B S T O H E S J O f S ) M O T U M E O T S a T E m M M B B J D P S & S S K G S ,^ NORTH WILKESBORO AND LENOIR, N.

Uuder date of Jnly 2nd, 1918, gcott Ferris, Oklahoma Oongress- m *d. Chairman of the Democratic. IfiUional Congressional Committee, has put out a letter on t^e letter­ head of the House Committee on public Lands, boasting of the re- coid of the administration “ daring fourteen months of war,” and en­ closing a copy of President Wil­ son’s last address to Congress, which he begins with the state iuent: “If we are to wage war at all, vre should wage it vigorously.” Iu other words, the Chairman of the Democratic National Con gressional Committee himself raises a question of doubt as to whether we should be waging war. “ If we are to wage war at all” .certainly involves a question as to whether we should be waging war. The question of whether or not we are to wage war is of the past. We are at war. It is no time for the Cbaitman of the Democratic Congressional Committee to be is suiug an implied apology for a stale of war. We • are .at war. There are no “ifB” about it, and no “ifs” should be talked about by the man who is in charge of the Democratic campaign for control of the nest Congress. -V- If Chairman Ferris had said, “ D we are to have a Congress at all, we should have a Democratic Con­ gress,” the statement would in volve that there is some question about whether we Bhuuld. have a Congress. If. he had said, ‘*If we are to have politics at all this, year, it should be Democratic politics;” it would imply that there should be no politics. When be 6ays, “If we are to wage war at all, we shonld wage it vigorously,” it is au apology to every voter who is opposed to the war. Otherwise LhairmanFerriswonldhave said, ' IVe should wage the war vigor- onsly,” and let it go at that. We are at war. The next Con gress should not be under the con­ trol of men who are '■ disposed to apologize lor that state of affairs, after they have as Congressmen voted for war and ask for re-elect­ ion on the ground that we are in 'var. This is no time for apologies, or for concessions to pacifist or disloyal sentiment.: We are at "ar.

The v ews feels no con­ cern in the political fortunes of Mr. Slayden. But it does feel a deep concern in the fame of the President and in the principles of the Govern­ ment of which he is the head, and ^ th of these have been made to suffer by. his action. • The President can hardly suppose the people of Texas will believe that the reasons which he gave for mak­ ing his announcement against Mr. Slayden make the whole motive of his action. It is ridiculous to say that Mr. Slayden has shown any lack of iovalty to the country since it en­ tered the war. Nor could it be shown that Mr. Slayden has played the part of an obstructionist. About the only charge that couid be brought against him is that he was more reluctant than, many of us thought wise, to have the country enter the war. But if this were a sin of such damning kind as renders .him ineligible to sit in Congress, there are others in Texas who have offended much more flagrantly than he. and against these the President has not spoken a word. Itw as not a principle of action the President was following, else others would have fallen under the same condem­ nation. There were particular and personal reasons prompting him to destroy the political life of Mr. Slay­ den. The fact .tuat one of- Mr. Slay- den’s rivals happens to be a kinsman of the President’s Postmaster Gen­ eral will not tend to make public opinion lenient in judging the Presi­ dents’s act. It is to be regretted that Mr. Slay­ den surrendered to the opposition of the President. He may have been defeated if he had remained in the contest; the fact that he retired in­ dicates that he himself thought that his chance of success had been des­ troyed. But-by reaming in the con­ test he would have given men who feel that his faults, whatever their grievousness, may be more safely tolerated, than -the presumption of the President an opportunity to ex­ press their conviction. The News is quite snre that the predictions and faults of Mr. Slayden, whatev­ er they are, are not more menacing to the public welfare than is the idea that the President may proper­ ly use the power of his office and his own personal prestige to proscribe a member of Congress who has incur­ red his'displeasure or the displeas­ ure of one of his Cabinet officers. If only men-who enjoy the Presi­ dent’s favor are eligible to occupy seats in Congress, than Congress is something of a superflous institution. —Exchange. That “Pie Counter”.Crowd.

It was a shameful ,pacifist and German proposal. Mr. Huddleston deserves to be beaten for having favored it. But this cannot be the reason of Mr. Wilson’s declaration as to Mr. Huddleston, for did not Mr. Wilson support, and vainly, the renomination of Mr. Gray, of Indi­ ana, who likewise voted for the Cooper amendment? In the Sixty- fifth Congress Mr. Huddleston voted against the raising of an army by conscription, but so did four other Alabama Representatives, including Mr..Dent,' Chairman of the’ Commit­ tee on Military ' Affairs.

Mr. Wilson says: I do not feel at liberty to make any discrimination-between can­ didates equally loyal, but I think I am justified in saying that Mr. Huddleston’s record proved him in every way an opponent of the Administration. One is more than a little perplexed to find the clue and key to Mr. Wil. son’s selections, indorsements and repudiations of candidates. In the Sixty-fourth Congress Mr. Huddle­ ston and every other Alabama rep­ resentative voted against the Kahn and the Brandegee amendments to increase the army, against a volun­ teer army under Federal control, against an increase of the navy. One member, Mr. Abercrombie, didn’t vote on the Kahn amendment. Mr. Burnett didn’t vote on the pro­ vision for a volunteer reserve army. Mr. Huddleston voted with the rest of the Alabama delegation on these four matters.

FILMORE RATLEDGE ■A Democratic politician wouldn’t steal a soldier’s vote. The very idea. It is preposterous, “W. S. S.” We believe it would be well for Uncle Sam to let the price of cotton alone.

If our Democratic brethren can get any comfort out of the election re­ turns from that State they are wel­ come to them. Every- Republican Congressman, a United States Sen­ ator and a Republican Governor were elected, together with notable gains in both branches of the. legis­ lature. This news must be correct for it came out of a Democratic paper. THE FALSE PROPHET IS WITH US AG MN. . The speech of our Governor- at Spencer on Labor Day was nothing if not Bickettesque. To those who know Governor Bickett, the reeking' partisanship was to have been ex­ pected, and., the statement that “should North Carolina go Repub­ lican it would greatly encourage the enemy” is a full twin to his Ashboro utterance during the 1916 campaign in which he with uplifted hands and eyes rolling heavenward thanked the MostHighfor raising up Woodrow Wilson who “kept us out of war.” In the 1916 campaign he proved a false prophet. No one knows chat better than the people of Alamarice county who have sons at the front. They'know exactly how reliable the ■Governor’s prophecies are, and manv know* that they were deluded into voting the Democratic ticket that year because they wanted to keep their sons at home. Again comes •this false prophet with a statement to the effect that a Republican Vote is a copifort to the Kaiser. Does the Governor think he can get away with a statement which he knows, or should know, is a fabrication from the whole cloth? Is it possible • that our Governor has so far forgotten his history that he does not remem­ ber who made the United States flag, and also the crowd who did not [help to make it? Can it be that he fails to remember the party that fought four long and bloody years to preserve that same flag that we might be one people? Has he for gotten the party that raised the flag to victory in the brush with Spaii ? Surely he knows that the Republican party made the Stars and Stripi s and shed its best blood to keep it un spotted. Perhaps he failed to re member that practically every star added to that flag was put there by a Republican administration.- He failed to tell you that every war measure put through since the entry of the United States into this great world’s conflict was enacted with Re­ publican votes, and had it not been for the loyalty of the Republican memoers of the Senate and House many of the President’s pet meas­ ures would have been defeated by his own party. He also failed to.tell you that th'is war is being- fought by Republican soldiers and _ with Re publican funds equally with Demo­ cratic soldiers and Democratic mon ey, if not more so It is not a partv war, it is an American war. 'It -is not a war to perpetrate a party in political office.' especially a party ' showing so • little efficiency in th - handling of the affairs incident thereto. AU of this eomes with very bad grace from the Chief Executive of ‘ the State who decreed that it would , be a politicless year and that he had ' no stomach for politics,- and then on his lirst opportunity comes out bold. Iywith the Statement tnat a vote for the Republican party would give comfort to the Kaiser. Nay, nay, Governor, you have made one.proph­ ecy too many. The people will re­ fuse to accept your “paramount”— they know whose war we are in and they, also know which party 'can best handlethe situation while the war is on, and then bring business ^affairs back to normal at its success­ ful conclusion.—The Falcon. . • “W.

I am weli today and feeling fine, have been up to the front, we have read so much about, and come out fine, there is no way of describing it at all, no one on earth can, can say there is r o better sensation than to hold the Front, my first time to the gun, I got it knocked out of commission by a shrapnel-, but I got a new gun and stayed with them until the end. Oh it feels like heaven back here, no shells bursting over your head, in perfect peace it seems. Nothing to disturb me only an air raid some times and that’s a great sensation, to see them fight and see the Hun’s machine com’e down in flames, and to'see more of,their machines come down than the Allies and that looks good to, everything seems to be in our favor now, it is only a matter of a short time until you will see us bovs sailing back home with Old Glory waving hig. am glad to know you all are awaken up back ihere and buying W. S. S and Liberty Bonds, for its real war we’re in, it seems kindlv like a dream over there but when you get on this side of the pond its different, everybody over' here is a soldier of some kind, and its a beautiful country to be all shat­ tered up. Even on the Front you can see pretty grass and flowers -but not many pretty trees, they are cut off and blown away, arid No Man’s Land is as clean as your garden only its riot as level as a garden, a few shell holes can be found, and we boys fall in one some times, maybe witter up to your neck but we don’t mind it as much as you might ima­ gine we would. We know we are going to win—we know its a bitter pill—but we. know we can do it. I am sure I’ve written ’ too much for the Base Censor, so I’ll close for this time.

They know that most people couldn’t get such good meat promptly and in good condition if it weren’t for the branch houses of which they ale in charge. j They know that the branch house is one of the most important links in the chain of .preparing and distributing meat for a nation. They know that Swift & Company must have its branch houses run at the highest notch of usefulness; that even a Swift & Company branch house won’t-run itself, and that it is up to the branch house man to run it properly, .Any branch house man who doesn’t see his work in this light is transferred to some other place with Swift & Company to which he is better adapted. They are picked men, these branch house men. Every time you sit down to a steak or chop, or cut of roast, you can give a grateful thought to the whole crew of them ..

IEBiei PJfflOLS IM C IN H Two New Divisions Broken Up by British —German Strength is Greatly Reduced. London—General Pershing’s Army is making fine progress. It has advanced from two to three miles on a 33-mile front and the fortress guns of Metz have come into action against it. The enemy appears to be withdraw­ ing to some further line which will juotect the railway communications in :he vicinity of Metz, which at present are under the long range fire of the Americans. American patrols are advancing at various points a couple of miles be­ yond the general advances. The American line at noon ran through Norroy. on the Mosellef Hau- mcnt. Dcncourt and to Abaucourt on the old line. The advance by the French seems <r have been in the nature of several local pushes and not a big generai forward move. The situation is much the same os it was. The enemy has been reacting very violently on the Fcrnch front. He made several coun­ ter-stacks. although he has not re­ covered any of his lost ground, lie is holding up the French somewhat.' TIte Erititsh are reported tc have ititttured the village of Maisseny, northwest of St. Quentni. It has been discovered that there were six Ger­ man divisions operating jo the St. Mi- hiel salient. That would give a total strength of 60.000 men or a rifle strength of 36.000. The Germans had broken up for them, two more divis­ ions in this action, thus reducing their strengih in the west to 191 divisions, !'!us four A.ustrian divisions and some dismounted cavlary.

PEACE DISCUSSION TO BE NO INTERRUPTION OF WAR Amsterdam.—In extending an invita- Fnn to all 'he helligertn governments t.ion to all the belligerent governments some neutral meeting place, the Aus­ tro-Hungarian government states that The chinet of the conference would be to secure an exchange of views which mould =I-Oiv “whether these prerequi­ sites exist which would make the speedy inauguration of peace negotia­ tions anpear promising.” The Austrian proposal, which is an­ nounced in an official communication telegranhed here from Vienna sug­ gests that there be no' interruption of the war. and that the “discussions would go only so far as considered bv the participants to offer prospects of success.” The proposal calls for all the bel­ ligerents to send delegates for a con­ fidential and unbinding discussion on the basic principles for the conclusion of peace, in- a place In a neutral coun­ try and at a near date that would yet have to be agreed upon.” LIVES OF LITTLE CHILDREN SNUFFED OUT BY SUBMARINE London.—The British steamer Gal­ way Castle of 7,988 tons gross was tor- peroed and sunk.

The American first army under com­ mand Of General Pershing is in action against the Germans on a 20-mile front on -the famous St. Mihiel salient In Lorraine,- which has stood a sharp wedge in'the" French line southeast of Verdun since the commencement of the war. • - In the preliminary thrust ground was gained on both sides of the trian­ gle and also at its apex at St. Mihiel, and at last accounts tbe Americans, with whom some French troops are brigaded, were fast sweeping across the salient in an effort to close the mouth of the big pocket before the Germans can extricate themselves as a result of the suddenness of the blow and the element of. surprise. Although the advance of the Amer­ icans was swift and sure and gains in excess of four miles on the southern side of the battle area were made, the cavalry far outstripped the tanks and footmen and was last reported oper­ ating along the railroad near Vig- neulles, almost in the center of the sa­ lient and some 10 miles northeast of St. MibieI and also northwest of Pont- A-Mousson, through the forests and along the railway line running north­ ward to Metz, the great German fort­ ress, the southern outer fortifications of which are less than 10 miles dis­ tant. To the south everywhere the Americans penetrated into the I heights of the Meuse and the French j fought their way into the outskirts o f! St. Mihiel. Unofficial reports are to the effect that the town has been re­ captured by the French. The strategy of Marshal Foch -in the present meueuver cannot be foreseen, except that it has as the first objective the levelling; of the St. Mihiel sector and the straightening of the allied line from the region of Verdun east­ ward. The obliteration of the salient would be necessary before a direct thrust toward German territory from this region would be possible. In the north, Field Marshal Haig, is still hard after the Germans in the region of Cambrai, Here, he again has advanced his front toward the much desired German base; and sent a thousand prisoners into the British prisoners’ cages • in the rear. The Germans fought hard at Havrincourt to stay the British, but all their counter attacks were beaten off. INSTANT DEATH FATE OF ALL TRAITORS, SPIES OR COWARDS With the American Army in France —American troops of all' units have been instructed to kill on the spot any­ one who in time of battle urges sur­ render or attempts to persuade them that further resistance is useless. . These instructions, which originated, with a certain division and have now been universally adopted because they, proved so popular, were made neces­ sary because someone in American uniform during a ,a German attack on Fismette, on August 27, ran among the troops calling upon them to cease resistance and declaring that the offi­ cers advised surrender. The instructions point out that these statements were absolutely false and added: “The person who spreads such an alarm is either an : enemy in our uniform or one’of our own troops who is disloyal and a traitor, or one of our troops who has become a panic-strick­ en coward. Whoever he is, he should be shot on the spot. In battle, there is no time to inquire into the identity Lor motives of persons who create panic or disorganization or 'who .ad­ vises surrender. 8UCCESS MEETING EFFORTS OF GENERAL PERSHING’S AR.M.Y Reprts show 'that success is meet­ ing the American commander’s efforts to fling the enemy out of this sharp salient thrust in behind the fortress of Verdun.1 But of even greater signifi­ cance' to government officials was; the, fac'1 that' the all-American 'attack meant that '.tile months of ceasejess toil and effort have now brought forth a. third gredt organized army, which has taken its place beside the French and BriUsh armies. , . . ~ ' 1 [ *, NEARLY OJJE MILLION MEN , REGIStERED IN NEW YORK New York.-r-New York's new army, nearly a million strong, marched; to registration centers, voicing in all the fifty-odd tongues of the polyglot -city their willingness to join Gen. Persh- ing’s men overseas. - , •; The work ,went forward swiftly. In some sections of the city, where em­ ployers had neglected to make ar­ rangements .to release their, men dur Ing the day, exceptionally heavy regis- ration was reported at night. New York.—The words .of Burian and the rumors of cabinet changes in Berlin are not to be read without careful relation to the military situa­ tion, Unlike the allies; the Germans make .-no distinction between diplo­ matic and military weapons' in the pursuit of victory—absolute or -rela­ tive. "This campaign' has tailed. No abso­ lute military victory is now or here­ after' possible for the German. But a' relative, ah approximate, victory may yet he had if the situation on the western battle front can be sta­ bilized for a time and during this time' the diplomatic attack upon the allies, exactly analagous to the submarine campaign of 1917, can be pressed. German strategy is patent enough. It is now the mission of the arm / ’.o check or delay allied advance for the balance of the present campaign—for eight weeks at the outside. At the end of this time German diplomacy— using the formula of Kuehlmann, now repeated by Burian and by every Ge* man commentator that no military de­ cision is possible—will point to still unbroken German lines and demand a conference—a negotiation or discus­ sion around the table. Now, all this must be. clearly foreseen and guarded against. The German peace offensive, like all previous German maneuvers, is • war offensive. The German has merely begun to change the method by which he will continue to seek a victory in thi., way:—a profit from the contest, which will leave him in a stronger position than he occupied when the war began and from which he can later resume the war when he has again completed his preparations; We are, then, approaching =a far graver crisis than that which existed Defore the second battle of the Marne. Then, Foch was in reserve', ready. We have no Foch to direct the diplo­ matic defense . Pending a military decision, all: ne­ gotiation is nonsense, means nothing now less than to decide how great a victory we shall allow the German while the armies in France are un­ broken. German success in the east will insure eventual German gains from the struggle. While the German armies are unbroken, all German pro­ posals are merely an extension of the front—military maneuvers—as frankly as‘ was the Hindenburg retreat of 1917. Alii** Capture In Four Weeks 75,000 Prisoners and More Than 750 Guns, FOES RETiBEMENT IIiEitT; ENEMY HOPES TO DELAY OR STOP ADVANCE OF ALLIES ON OLD BATTLE LINE. HUES FEELING THEIG WAY1 Careful Advance Is Being Made Through Screens of 'Machine Gun­ ners on Fighting Front. The critical military position of the Germans from the region west of Cambrai southward to the St. Gobain massif and around this strong posi­ tion eastward to the. territory north -and northeast of SoissonS, .continues ■to-hold, the eyes of the world.. For the moment the tactical maneu­ vers of the belligerents in Artois and Flaoders as well as eastward of Sois-' sons into Champagne, although they still are of the greatest import, neces­ sarily continue to take second place in interest to those sectors which are filled with momentous possibilities, where a successful move by the allies may bring a quick change in the en­ tire German battle front, or, on the contrary, a determined stand by the enemy with the large reinforcements •in man and'gunpower he is.-known to have assembled, may result, for a time at least, in a stalemate in the game which is being played by the allies to crack the already demoralized Ger­ man line. The heavy' rains of the past few days have turned lowlands throughout the fighting zone into quagmires, but on those sectors of the. high ground be­ tween Cambrai and Soissons the storms have not kept the British and French armies from moving forward. Nor have they served to lessen the strength of the enemy’s resistance. Field Marshal Haig is highly opti­ mistic of u'timate victory for the en­ tente. In an order of the day he de­ clares that the dark days have passed, never to return. He says that in four weeks the British troops have made 75,000 Germans prisoner and taken 750 of their guns. 1 Meantime peace-feelers again have been sent broadcast by officials and men prominent in the high political councils of the central powers. Washington. — With the German army standing today substantially in the positions it occupied before, last March 21, when its greatest offensive was launched, it appears certain to of­ ficials here that the next few days will see the plans of the opposing • com­ manders revealed.- The statement in the'official -Ger­ man communique that “Our new lines” had everywhere been occupied is given only one construction here. Apparently it. was intended to mean that the retirement had come to an end and that the Germans' expected to stop .the allied advance along the old front. In that event, it was . said to­ day, /the light forces of the French, British and American armies will soon reach this defensive position and subsequent . operations quickly will show how Marshal Foeh proposes to assail the problem that baffled the French and British general staffs, the breaking of this advanced line of de- fefense set up by the enemy on Bel­ gian and French soil. It was evident from reports that the allied forces were still feeling their way forward carefully through the rear guard screens of machine gun­ ners which still cover many portions of the enemy's present fighting front. Behind this screen'the Germans were believed to have reoccupied the old Hindenburg defenses, which probably have been repaired and supplemented.' SHARP GAINS MADE IN BRITISH ADVANCE REGISTRANTS OF AGES 19-36 ARE FIRST TQ BE CALLED YVtfO THC AND AMERICAN 1 TROOPS SAVED BY DESTROYERS Washington.—News of. the torpedo­ ing of the British liner Persic, with 2,800 American troops on board in the war zone, September 6, was given to the American people, first” through the British admiralty and then later through the navy department. AU the soldiers were rescued by accompany­ ing destroyers, the steamer Itself was beached anl the enemy submarine is believed to have been accounted for. . Officials here viewed the result of the’ attack more as an allied success than as a disaster. The fact that the steamer was torpedoed when she was endeavoring’to overtake the convoyed fleet of transports after overcoming engine trouble which had forced her to lag, convinced officers: that' subma-. rine commanders still are fearful of attacking troop ships in convoy. The records achieved by the Ameri­ can and allied navies in the trans­ porting of more -than ■ 1,600,000 Ameri­ can soldiers overseas, with the loss o f only 291 of them, still is consider- ied miraculous. And it is accepted by naval officers as testifying to the success of the' convoy system. AMERICAN SOLDIERS HAVE ARRIVED AT ARC.HANGEL Wastiington-r-American troops have landed at Archangel to assist the oth­ er allied' forces there in their cam­ paign for the re-establishment of or­ der in northern Russia: This 1 an­ nouncement was authorized by Gen. March,'chief of staff. - • ' For military reasons, the number of soldiers landing was not revealed. It; ■was assumed that " the Zoidiers • had been sent from English camps, where Americans are . training; X NEW RECORD FOR MAIL CARRYING IS ESTABLISHED .NeW Yprk--The importance of Edj ward V. Gardner’s airplane flight with mail from Chicago to New York was emphasized in a statement which the Aero Club of America issued with the announcement that the’ journey was a record for mail carrying between the two cities, “This is the first time mail has been carried between the two cities m less than 20 hours and the fastest time, ever made between these two cities.” Washington.—Youth Cf 19 and 20 years and men between the ages of 32 and 36, inclusive, who register Thurs­ day, will first be called to the colors, Provost Marshal General Crowder -an­ nounced, and- until the supply of avail­ able fighting material in their ranks has been exhausted, older men will not be inducted Into service. Ques­ tionnaires will go out first to' regis­ trants of those ages and local boards have been * ordered to • proceed with their speedy classification so that some of them may be called in Octo­ ber. Pointing out tha-t in classifying men above the ages of 31. the army draft would be “attacking the coun­ try’s economic life • and entering an unexplored field,’’ General Crowder, in a public statement to' ail Jmployers and industrial representatives, ber sought their aid in applying the plans of‘industrial deferments so that “the maintenance of the military estab­ lishment of the national interest dur­ ing the . emergency” may not be inter­ fered v(ith. . ' Before issuing his appeal; General Ctowder has again pointed out that on estimates of experts ' the war de­ partment could expect to draw from the Classes above 31, only 601,000 men physically fit for military service and not W titled to deferred classification on the grounds of dependency or oc­ cupation. 'He also said that men of 19 and 20.called were entitled to ad­ mission to the students’ training corps at the 400 secondary schools with which the war department has made Contracts but added that this corps would number 150,000 ' men, while over '3,000,000; youths below 21' will register Thursday. BULGARIAN ARMY AND PEOPLE 'r ip e FOR REVOLUTION London.—The British in an advance over a four-mile front between the Havrincourt wood and Peiziere have captured all the German positions on the high ground between these two points and won their old trench posi­ tions overlooking Gouzeaucourt, ac­ cording to the official communication from Field Marshal jlaig. The Gou-. zeacourt wood also is in British hands. English and New Zealand troops performed the task and during the fighting repulsed heavy German coun­ ter-attacks. The text of the statement follows: “Advanced detachments of English and New Zealanders attacked and car­ ried the German positions on the high ground between Peiziere and the Hav- rlncourt wood. After sharp fighting in the course of which heavy' counter­ attacks were repulsed with losses,-we gained the bid British trench line on the ridge overlooking Gouzeacourt and captured Gouzeaucourt wood. - “On the left of our attack, other English trbops successfully advanced our line in the eastern portion of the Havrincoiirt wood. We captured a •■number of prisoners in these opera­ tions.” Washington—Information has reach­ ed here from a source usually reliable that. Turkey has sent a large force to the border of Bulgaria where trouble is. brewing over/division of territorial spoils of war betWeen these two allies of Germany-and Austria-Hungary. The possibility, of open conflict between Turkey, and, Bulgaria is watched here with -great interest- ,and is known to be causing serious misgivings at Ber- lin. . / . GOMPERS DEFENDS DELAY OF AMERICA IN ENTERING WAR ,■ London.—America’s delay in enter­ ing the war- was defended by Samuel Gompsrs, head of the American Fed­ eration of Labor, in- an address at the American Luncheon! Club. : Mr..-.Gompersf said he. was one of those who was impatient during the period while America was maintaining neutrality, but that he had found, that “the wisdom of he President of the United States far . outbalanced: the Judgment of. all else." i . AMERICAN TROOPS CROSS THE VESLE IN FORCE ' With the American Army on the Aisne Front.—In the face of the still­ est machine gun fire since the Amer­ icans crossed the VesIe in force, Am­ erican infantry advanced at certain points on a curve line extending from Glennes to Vieil Arcy. The advance was preceded by a heavy artillery bombardment, which continued all night. From the plateau the. Americana took up positions in the ravines whichh drain northward, but the advance was necessarily cautious' owing to the commanding position ' of La. Petite Montagne, which is .'the highest point In that region. The French and Am­ erican artillery bombarded the moun­ tain, where the Germans had built strong -emplacements. GERMAN SUBMARINE TORPEDOES TRANSPORT Paris.—The American . transport Mount Vernon, formerly the German steamship Kronprinzessin Ceeelie; which, ..though torpedoed, by a Ger­ man submarine off the coast of France was able to make port, was carrying wounded. and sick soldiers back to the-United States, - Senator James ,H.

Mrs. Vaughn Heads .Bureau. ’ The state board of health announces the appointment of Mrs. Kate Brew 4 Vaughn as director of the bureau of 1 child hygiene, to be established with­ in the next few weeks. The new bu-1 reau will'deal primarily with the prob- j Iem presented in the enormous infant mortality in North Carolina. The North Carolina soldier who faces hordes of Huns in France has a better chance of going through the qr- deal of continued battle and escaping with 'his life than has the baby born in the State of reaching its fifth birth­ day. There are 72,000 babies born In North Carolina each year, approxi­ mately, and there are 10,000 babies who each year die in infancy.

To the northwest of Chauny equally important victories gave General Humbert possession of Guiscard and Maucourt after he had forced the retirement of the enemy from Mont S t Slineon and the Canal du Nord. This latter action was a desperate fight, for the German posi­ tions were protected by a wilderness of wire entanglements and by innumer­ able machine-gun nests.

Then, on .Monday, came a grand British smash which wrecked die much-vaunted Wo- tan switch line of the Hiudenburg line, from Drocourt- to Queant. Despite the resistance of great masses of infantry and artillery, the British rushed for­ ward on a ten-mile front and speedily made a gain of some five miles, the German losses being frightful. In the succeeding days they kept up the drive remorselessly, putting much of the Ca­ nal du Nord behind their lines and ap­ proaching within a few miles of Douai and Cambrai. These two cities were so important to the German defensive system that large numberA of troops, were rushed to their rescue and the British drive was slowed down percep­ tibly by the end of the week, though it was by no means stopped. AU through the week there were re­ ports that ’many towns and villages back of the German lines In Picardy were In flames and it was certain that the foe were destroying great quanti­ ties of supplies which they were not given time to remove. —Sa­ in the Lys sector, the salient west 0? Armentieres1 the German retreat, under compulsion, continued steadily and the British advanced as far as Neuve Chapelie and Laventie, taking a number of villages. Tlie northern part of this sector became of especial interest Io Americans because the Yan­ kees were there engaged in their first battle on Belgian soil: These troops, biter identified by General March as the Thirtieth division'Tif Tennessee, North Carolina and South Carolina men, captured Voormezeele and other towns In the vicinity, and next day pushed on further eastward. Thurs­ day the British, presumably aided by these same Americans, took Ploeg- steert village and Hill 63, dominating points on the Messines ridge. By that time the British, from Neuve Chapelle south to Givenchy, had reached the line they held before the German drive of April 9 last, and east of Givenchy they had occupied parts of the old German positions. , — ft— Altogether it was a highly satisfac­ tory week on the west front. The German military critics have given up tiying to conceal w-holly the truth of the Mun reverses, but some of them predict that the retreat will not go much farther. The German crown prince broke into print with an inter­ view in which he declared the German idea of 'victory now is “to hold our own. and not 'allow ourselves to be vanquished.” He saifl only the allies were waging a war of extermination; that the Germans wished to annihilate none of their enemies. The Hun peace offensive seems to have petered out entirely for the time being. — f t — The British government, aroused by the sacking of its embassy in Petrograd and the murder of Captain Cromie, the British attache, has sent an ultimatum to the soviet government at Moscow, demanding reparation and prompt pun­ ishment of the guilty and threatening to hold the members of the bolshevik government individually responsible and to have them treated as outlaws by all civilized nations. Meanwhile the British are holding Litivnoff1 bol­ shevik representative in London, and his_staff under arrest pending the. re­ lease of British officials who were ar­ rested in Russia. , Belated dispatches from Siberia tell of the destruction of the bolshevik army east of Lake Baikal - by the Czecho-Slovaks and say the Cossackk arc co-operating with the Czechs. It appears that uninterrupted connection has been established between fhe al­ lied forces across Biberia all the way from the .Volga, to Vladivostok and that the vanguard of the Czeclc has" joined hands with General Semen off’s troops on the Onon river. ’ ’ In northern European Russia the allies and loyal Russians have gained further successes south of Archangel and inflicted severe iosses on the bol- sheviki. —P a - On the Ussuri front in eastern Si­ beria the allied forces have been driv­ ing the bolshevlki northward, defeat­ ing them In every engagement and in­ flicting heavy casualties.

CHAPTER XIX—Continued. —16— At one j -int of the line where the trenches v ere very close, a stake was driven in'.o the ground midway be­ tween tin hostile lines. At night when it was his turn, Tommy would crawl to this stake and attach some London papers to it, while at the foot .he would place tins of bully beef, fags, sweets, and other delicacies that he had re­ ceived from Blighty In the ever looked- for parcel. Later on Fritz would come out and get these luxuries. The next night Tommy would go out to see what Fritz put into his stocking. Ihe donation generally consisted of a paper from Berlin, telling' who was winning the war, some tinned sausages, dears, and occasionally a little beer, but a funny tiling. Tommy never- re­ turned with the beer unless it was in- iide of him. His platoon got a whiff of his breath one night and the offending Tommy lost his job. One night a young English sergeant crawled to the stake and as he'tried to detach the German paper a bomb ex­ ploded and mangled him horribly. Fritz had set a trap and gained another vic­ tim which was only one more black murk against him in the book of this war. From that time on diplomatic re­ lations were severed. t Returning to Tommj-; I think bis spirit is best shown in the questions he asks. It is never “who is going to win” but always “how long will it take?” CHAPTER XX. “Chats With Fritz.” We were swimming in money, from the receipts of our theatrical venture, and had forgotten all about the war, when an order came through that our brigade would again take over their sector of the line. The day that these orders were is sued, our captain assembled the com­ pany and asked for volunteers to go to the Machine Gun school at S t Omai I volunteered and was accepted. Sixteen men from our brigade left for the course in machine gunnery This course lasted two weeks and we rejoined our unit and were assigned to the brigade machine gun company. It almost broke my heart to leave my company mates. The gun we used was the Vickers, Eght .303. water cooled. I was still a member of the Suicide dub, having jumped from the frying pan into the fire. - I was assigned to section I, gun No. 2, and the first time “In” took position In the front-line trench. During the day our gun would be dismounted on the fire step ready for Instant use. We shared a dugout with the Lewis gunners. At “stand to” we would mount our gun on the parapet sad go on watch beside it until “stand- down” in the morning. Then the gun would be dismounted and again placed Iu readiness on the fire step. IVe did eight days in the front-line trench without anything unusual hap­ pening outside of the ordinary trench routine. On the night that we were to carry out,” a bombing raid against the Ptrman lines was pulled off. This raid­ ing party consisted of sixty company 1Uen1 sixteen bombers, and four Lewis machine guns with their crews. The raid took the Boches by surprise *M was a complete success, the party UHfnS back twenty-one prisoners. The Germans must have been awful- 7 sore, because they turned loose a barrage of shrapnel, with a few “Min­ 's and “whizz bangs” intermixed-, he shells were dropping In to our front a like hailstones. * even, we could have left the of ,Utleis in t^e ®re trenCb, In charge me men on guard and let them click . , strafeing but Tommy does not eJJt prisoners that way. ' Five of them were brought into my uud turned over to me so that Bfj'' Wou,d be safe, from the German Bn*!! '!'P canfIlellght, they looked very few1' nerves gone and chalky J,, f . ,ritli the exception of one, a •*-• oig fellow, He looked very much ' lVtst j iijrad him from the start- I got out the rum jar and gave each a nip and passed around some fags, the old reliable Woodbines. The other prisoners looked their gratitude, but the big fellow said In English, “Thank you, sir, the rum is excellent and I ap­ preciate it, also your kindness.” He told me his name was Carl Schmidt, of the Sixty-sixth Bavarian Light infantry; that he ha% lived six years In New York (knew the city bet­ ter than I did), had been to Coney island and many of our ball games. He was a regular fan. I couldn’t make him believe that Hans Wagner wasn’t the best ball player in the world. From New York he had gone to Lon­ don, where he worked as a waiter in the Hotel Russell. Just before the war he went home to Germany to see his parents, the war came and he was con­ scripted. He told me he was very sorry to hear that London was in ruins from the Zeppelin raids. I could not con­ vince him otherwise^ for hadn’t he seen moving-p'ictures In one of the German cities.of St. Paul’s cathedral In ruins. I changed the subject because he was so "stubborn in his belief, It was my intention to try -and pump him for information as to the methods of the German snipers, who had been caus­ ing us trouble in the last few days. I broached the subject and he shut up like a clam. After a few minutes he very innocently said: “German snipers get paid rewards for killing the English." I eagerly asked, “What are they?” - He answered: “For killing or wounding an English private, the sniper gets one mark. For - N, i f t S M N i r t M *-5 * Dead Bodiep Everywhere. killing or wounding an English officer he gets five marks, but if he kills a Red Cap or English general, the sniper gets twenty-one days tied to the wheel of a limber as punishment for his careless­ ness.” Then he paused, waiting for me to bite, ! suppose. I bit all right and asked him why the sniper was punished for killing an English general. With a smile he re­ plied: “Well, you see, if all the English gen­ erals were killed, there would be no one left to make costly mistakes.” I shut him up, he was getting too fresh for a prisoner. After a while he winked at me and I winked back, then the escort came to take the prisoners to the rear. I shook bands and wished him “The- best of luck and a safe jour­ ney to Blighty.” I liked that prisoner, he was a fine fellow, had an Iron Cross, too. I ad­ vised- him to keep it out of sight, or some Tommy wo.uld be sending it home to his girl In Blighty as a souvenir. One dark and rainy night while on guard we were looking over the top from the fire step of our front-line trench, when we heard a noise irnme - diatelv In front of our barbed wire. The ‘sentry next to me challenged, "Halt, who comes there?" and brought / hlo rifle to the aim. His challenge was answered In German. A captain in the next traverse climbed upon the sand­ bagged parapet to investigate—a brave but foolhardy • Aeed-flCrack" went a bullet and he tumbled back into the trench with a hole through his stomach and died a few minutes Iatqr. A lance corporal in the next platoon Vas so en­ raged at the captain’s death that he chucked a Mills bomb In the direction of the noise^dth the shouted warning to us: “Duck your,nappers, my lucky lads.” A sharp dynamite report, a flare in front of us, and then silence. We immediately sent up two star shells, and in fheir light could see two dark forms lying on the ground close to our wire. A sergeant and four stretcher-bearers went out InYront and soon returned,' carrying two limp bodies. Down In the dugout, in the flickering light of three candles, We saw that they were-two German offi­ cers, one a captain and the other an “unteroffizier,” a rank one grade higher than a sergeant general, but below the grade of lieutenant. The captain’s face had been almost completely torn away by the bomb’s explosion. The unteroffizier was alive,, breathing with difficulty. In a few min­ utes he opened his eyes and blinked In the glare of the candles. The pair had evidently been drink­ ing heavily, for the alcohol fumes were sickening and completely pervaded the dugout. ,I turned away in disgust, hating to see a man cross the Great Di­ vide full of booze. One of our officers could speak Gen man and he questioned the dying man- In a faint voice, interrupted by fre­ quent hiccoughs, the unteroffizier told his story. There had been a drinking bout among the officers in one of the Ger­ man dugouts. the main beverage being champagne. With a drunken leer he informed us that champagne was plen­ tiful on their .side and that it did not .cost them anything either. About seven that night the conversation had turned to the “contemptible” English, and the captain had made a wager that he would hang his cap on the English barbed wire to show his contempt for the English sentries. The wager was accepted. At eight o’clock the captain and he had crept out into No Man’s Land to carry out this wager. They had gotten about halfway across when the. drink took effect and the captain fell asleep. After about two hours of vain attempts the unter­ offizier had at last succeeded In wak­ ing the captain, reminded him of his bet, and warned him that he would be the laughing stock of the officers’ mess if he did not accomplish his object, but the cnptain was trembling all over and insisted on returning to the German lines. In the-darkness they lost their bearings and crawled- toward the Eng­ lish trenches. They reached the barbed wire and were suddenly challenged by our sentry. Being too drunk to realize that the challenge was in English, the captain refused to crawl back. Finally the unterofiizier convinced his superior that they were in front of the English wire. Realizing this too late, the cap­ tain drew his revolver and with a mut­ tered curse fired blindty toward our trench. His bullet no doubt killed our captain. . Then the bomb came over and there he was, dying—and a good job too, we thought. The captain dead? Well, his men wouldn’t weep at the news. Without giving us any further infor­ mation the unteroffizier died. We searched the bodies for identifi­ cation disks but they had left-every­ thing behind before starting on thfeir foolhardy errand. Next afternoon we buried them in our Uttle cemetery apart from the graves of the Tommies. If. you ever go Into that cemetery yon will see two little wooden crosses In the corner of sUie cemetery set away from the rest They read: Captain 'German Army Died — 1916 Unknown R. I P. Unteroffizier German Army Died — 1916 Unknown R. I. P FORMAL SUIT IN PILE 3 F Anyone who can remember all of i the flew names by which the various j and beautiful new pile fabrics are 1 called may go to the head of the class ; in memory culture. They are all plushes in reality, and they promise a season, that will be memorable for the rich effects they make possible In for­ mal suits, and in afternoon and din­ ner gowns. No commonplace design­ ing is worthy such fabrics, and they have inspired artists in women’s ap­ parel to such efforts of elegance as appears in the costume pictured above. Among many handsome suits this was the star at the recent style show at Chicago. , This suit is made of a black fabric resembling panne velvet but having a longer nap and therefore a sturdier ap­ pearance. Black is never somber in I these brilliant surfaces, and this fab- I ric is both brilliant! and rich. Its de- I signer has acquiesced in the season’s j vogue for lengthened skirts, tunics, I wide, soft, girdles, the straight-line I silhouette, and incorporated all of them into an original model that han­ dles them In a distinctive, individual manner The skirt in this suit has a tunic that.is uneven m leogtli and a straight line, except for a bit of drapery at the back. The coat is more accurately described as a jacket, with high muf­ fler collar and fronts much longer than the sides or the back. The fabric is just the right background for very handsome cut. steel buttons,, used with just the right reserve, in two sizes, on the front of the coat. There are four of the smaller buttons at the back. Coat and skirt are wedded by the most clever of wide girdles, which loses itself in the novel back drapery. The lengthened skirt may not be ac­ cepted for practical cloth street suits, but it is most appropriate for this af­ fair, with its air of limousines, con­ servatories, and grand opera.

In spite of difficulties that follow in the wake of wari manufacturers have made ready Unes of coats that, make .comparisons with thosO of former seasons odious. Here are two examples, among many others that set forth the styles dis­ played at the recent Style Show. They were part of the goodly company as­ sembled recently In Chicago when the Woman’s Apparel association - pre­ sented the work of its members to an admiring audience of critics' and buyers. It was an extensive show, with two features that made it espe­ cially noteworthy. They were, the wearableness of the garments] shown and the general excellence of their de­ signing and workmanship. At the right of the picture above a coat is ma.de of one of the new stl- ver-tone cloths In which tiny flecks ol white appear in brown, taupe, gray blue or Burgundy-colored cloths. It W a straight-hanging 'garment- with plaits at the front and back, stitched down In accurate straight lines to the depth of the waistline and finished with' arrow heads. Sqnirrel fur makes the convertible collar and deep cufts .on this coat and it harmonizes delight­ fully with the indistinct white flecks in the material. The other copt is made of. taupe- cclored Yulama cloth, a new name for a smooth-faced heavy wool fabric. It is cleverly cut and machine-stitched and has large pockets cut in one with a panel at the front. Flying squirrel fur and very large taupe ,buttons fin­ ish off a coat that compels us to turn round and look again when it passes our way. It has the distinction of com­ bining originality with beauty.

(From the United S tates D epartm ent of A griculture.) If land that has been In grass for a considerable time and Is likely to con­ tain, cutworms Is to be planted to corn the "following spring, It should be plowed In .midsummer or early fall, about the time the ’ moths’ eggs are laid or, better, before the eggs are laid, for then vegetation which is suit­ able for the moths to lay their eggs upon is removed. I he earlier the pre­ ceding year grasslands to be planted Co corn are plowed, the less will Ee the probability that the cutworm moths will have laid their eggs there­ on, and the less, consequently, will be the danger of injury by cutworms the following year. Late fall and winter plowing of grasslands, although not as effective as early plowing, will destroy many of the hibernating cutworms, as well as such other important corn pests as white grubs, and should be practiced when earlier plowing is impracticable. Insects Are Devoured. Pasturing hogs upon land supposed to harbor cutworms is a beneficial practice, as these animals root up and devour insects of many kinds, Includ­ ing cutworms, in large numbers. Farm poultry, allowed to follow the plow, is of great value. When cutworms are found to be abundant on corn land; the use of the poisoned bait is recommended. In fields known to be infested, the dis-' tribution of this bait should be begun RAISING BRPOM CORN IS MOST PROfITABtE Careful GradingvBaIing and Stor- ing Is Recommended.

The market value of broom com normally depends to a large degree upon its condition. Much of the sea­ son’s profit may be lost by careless handling after the crop is cured.

Frequently cutworms migrate to cul­ tivated fields from adjoining grass­ land, and in such cases the crops can be protected by running a narrow band of the poisoned bait, around the edge of the field or along the side nearest the source of infestation. Cutworm injury, which usually con­ sists in the cutting off of the plants at or a little below the surface of the ground, almost invariably occurs In the spring, beginning as soon as the first plants sprout and continuing un­ til late June or early July, by which time the worms are .full grown.

However, if the soil surround­ ing the cut-off plant be examined care­ fully, the culprit probably will be found curled up beneath the surface. Parents' of Cutworms. The parents of cutworms are gray­ ish or brownish moths, or “millers," which commonly occur at lights during summer evenings. • Each moth may lay from 200 to 500 eggs, .either in masses or singly, In fields covered with dense vegetation, and hence the eggs are to be found more often, than elsewhere In cultivated fields which have been in grass or weeds the preceding fall. The eggs hatch-In the fall, a few weeks after they are laid, .usually during i September, and the -young cutworms, ’ after feeding on grass and other vege­ tation until cold weather, pass ■ the winter as partly grown caterpillars. If an Infested field is left to grass, no no­ ticeable Injury Is Ukely to occur; but little higher than appearances indicate, in order ,to be oh the safe side. The price paid under such circumstances usually is less than the total price the good brush and poor brush would have brought if baled separately. In most cases the grower will-be well repaid for the time and labor devoted to grad­ ing his brush and baling each grade separately. The brush should be taken up In small armfuls and butted against a board, so that all the butts are even. It should then be placed in the baler, with the butts set firmly against the end of the baler. The butts of one armful are placed against one end and those of the next armful against the other end, continuing the process un­ til the baler is full. The bale is then pressed into shape' and the wires fas­ tened. If the bale is pressed tightly and the wires properly adjusted, a good square bale will result. Baling should not be done until the brush is dry enough to eliminate all • danger of its molding In the bale. If baling is delayed indefinitely after the ■ brush is dry, it should be bulked and protected from the light or it will ■ bleach. The bales should be stored, in' a dry, ; dark place for protection from the I weather and sunlight; otherwise the i outside will be weather stained or bleached by the sun, and they will not bring as high a price as If kept In good condition. ’ The brush can be marketed to best advantage in carload lots, because of the difference between freight rates In full cars and smaller lots. The brush runs about 6 bales to the ton and from 10 to 12 tons to the carload; Com­ munity co-operation Is needed to obtain the greatest success in growing broom corn. This will make possible mar­ keting the crop in carload lots, with a consequent _ saving in freight. The manufacturers are most likely to send an experienced buyer into such a com­ munity, and it is possible for a commu­ nity to grow a uniform grade of brush which will be recognized and sought at a premium by the manufacturer.'

The Democrats are trying hard to create the impression that the w:ir is the issue in the approach­ ing; elections and that in some unj explained way it would be an act (if disloyalty to vote -against the President’s party candidates. Tbe war ia Dot in any sense an isT sue, aud never has been from the uiomeDt the United States entered tbe coi Jiict. The President, to be sure, went back into power on- a ‘•lie kept-us-out of war” .argument but even that has been forgotten since we became a belligerent. Xo self-respecting Democrat would undertake to tell an andi. euce of intelligent voters that the winning ol the war is in any wise involved in tfie result ot tbe No­ vember contests. S e and they know that Democrats and Bepub- licaus are united in the effort at bringing early »nd complete sp.c- cess to the allied cause. The Re­ publicans in Congress and out have worked (loyally to support tbe administration in its war pro gram. The war will be -won re garSless ot which party is in con­ trol. Tbe issue in the campaign iB not the vrinuing of the war—that is a point <. n which there is no differ­ ence ot opinion—but the rehabili­ tation of the nation after the war. At present the United States is involved in the greatest money- spending orgy In the history ol the world. The situation4b accepted aa inevitable, under existing con­ ditions, but it cannot continue in definitely. There must be an end to borrowing and the spreading of treasure broadcast; j The nation' mast get back to norma], aud that return era will be one of the most trying in the history of tbe coun­ try. The present prospect is that, ev en with an early termination of tbe war we shall come, out of the struggle with a public debt in ex cess of $20,000,000,000. That will mean an annual interest charge of 81.000,000,000 or more, besides money that must be provided for the amortization of the debt. The total of congressional appropria­ tions lor 1916, the year before the war, was only $678,677,858.70, und that was higher than the aver­ age in the ten years previous. Tbe normal after war appropria­ tions, exclusive of interest aud debt items, will be, of necessity, uinch higher than .in- other- years to take care ot developments re- sultinK from the war. The people of the couutry must expect, under most favorable’ con­ ditions, to pay to the support of the Government after the war at IeaiSt three and more likely four or five times as much as they 'former­ ly were . assessed. That money must be raised, not for aw ar einer- geucy, and by selling t onds, but as a regular thing and a business proposition. The nation has' to get Iiaek from a spending to an truing and saving basis. And ail that will involve a far:reachIng economic reorganization and ' re­ adjust ment. ' The Democraticparty is' .notor. Wusly a money-waster, whether in coutrOl of natiuoals state or inuui- c'pai affairs. Ithasbeen lamen tably weak ou constructive busi- ness policy. The people "know that.

The nation four yeans ago and in time of peace was paying cur rent expenses with borrowed money; The administration was headed straight for embarrassment and financial eonfiiaioa when the world'war was precipitated in Eu-- ropa. Soou war orders from the allies began pouring in and prices soaren:-^ Exports doubled and re­ doubled. Wages were advanced, !•he farmers got higher prices for. their produce, the manufacturers were deluged with allied gold and prosperity was extended to every­ body. Itw asall war prosperity. ' Then the war came to us. The bars were thrown dowu and every restraint upon spending was re­ moved. ' We began borrowing by the billions and taxing ourselves by the hundreds ofmil'lious. The people, in a spirit of loyalty, ac­ cepted a 25 per cent increase in their freight bills, approximately 50 per cent, in their railway fares; they paid taxes aud surtaxes with out even inquiring why or where­ fore, believing it was necessary to have the money to win the war. They have stopped at nothiug and questioned nobody, but there will be an end to that when the war is won and we have to get back to an everyday schedule. It will hot be possible then for Secretary M cAdooto sell ^Patiama Canal Vonds ‘-to reimburse th? treasury” for money the Democra tic revenue laws do not produce; he cannot expect every year to have Congress appropriate $200,- 000,000 of borrowed money to make up for the failure of his farm loan back plan; he will not always have at bis disposal the $3,500,- 000,000 Congress handed to him in bis war finance corporation, from which to dole out $20,000,000 loans to the Bethlehem Steel Com pany, or other siims to various in­ dustrial concerns seeking funds. BnBiness will have to stand on its own -bottom 'eventually. The Government cannot continue in­ definitely to p jur out funds. In fact, even now McAdoo’s war Ii nance corporation can make no.ad­ vances lor. a term of more than five years. The billions he is putting out with such a lavish hand must be4Teturued within the period of the- next, administration. That W oulId involve tremendous econo mie readjustments even in normal -times auil’is certain to be partiu ularly-difficult in the confusion■ of post Wju1 conditions. . . Therf tbere will lie an end tothe- ■time when every situatiou mky be ■met by shoveling out gold from the treasury and borrowing, more billions when the supply runs low. That term will be au’anxious one loir the people., even if the Govern ment is in the hands of the nation’s abfest economists and. constructive statesmen. That crisis is inescap­ able, and now is the time to pre pare for it. 1The issue before the. voters tliis .fall is whether they prefer to entrust to the Democrats ■or to the Eepublicans the very practical proposition of getting the nation and its industries bick on a firm basis after the war.. They know, the records and policies of both parties. The question before them is-not mere politics, but .one of JraSiness judgment. A For A Weak Stomach.

Rainy Day Coining. Money is easy and plentiful, wages high, and everything one has to sell commands a high price. We 'have what is generally known as good- times. No onfe complains, of hard times or that he cannot get a job at good wages. There is seeminfrly two jobs for every available'man. .: But a change, is coming, and , the wise man will lay by something for the rainy day. When the millions of young men now in the govern­ ment service return to their homes, trained as they will be to tackledif­ ficult jobs, they will find hundreds, of thousands of young women.filling- places that formerly ' only • men oc­ cupied. EmDloyers will have found that the young women are efficient and dependable and will be loath to give them up, consequently good paying jobs will not go begging and only the most efficient .workers' will be sought after. Then will come times of depression and the man who has been saving some­ thing. who has War-Savings Stamps and Liberty Bonds put away for the inevitable rainy day, will be looked upon as the wise provider for his family.—Roanoke-Chowan Times.

Upon a certain - occasion Former GovernorCraig made a speech in the tenth congressional' district. A number of political observers have always insisted that this speech con­ tributed very largely to the eiection of Congressman Britt in that cam­ paign, because the utterance was re­ sented, not only by the supporters of Mr. Britt, but by large numbers of Democrats. Indications multiply that the speech of Governor Bickett at Spen- cer is to prove another gubernatorial mistake, only in this instance it is to prove of state-wide magnitude We have reference, of course, to the assertion of .the governor that the kaiser would rejoice should the Re­ publicans of this state achieve a measure of success in the fall, elect­ ions. Reports reaching, this office leave little doubt that the speech can only have a harmful effect, and thagthe-harm is ilikely to continue indefinitely. .' ■ - . vA Renublican leader who has trav el Cd far.and wide in making patriot­ ic addresses, and '. whd has sons in Francs, put the case this way: the Republicans generally have accepted in good faith the assurances of Gov­ ernor Bickett of his belief in the he cessity of eliminating partisan poli­ tics for tne duration : of the war This has greatly facilitated the work of Democratic i : and -Republican speakers, who have not infrequent­ ly appeared on the same platform to admonish the people concerning the importance of unity and joint activity in the support of the- war. The effect of this was most salutary. The war work has been running smoothly. Now with this whole some psychological condition. pre­ vailing along comes Governor Bick- ett, in an official sense the accredited spokesman of all the people of the state, and makes a speech that has done more-harm than has been done by all the other partisan utterances during the past year. Some Repub­ licans have been heard to say they do not care to give and invest in a cause and be insulted by the gover­ nor of tue state while they are so engaged. The Spencer speech i_s being widely discussed. This is the case, as before stated, as it was presented by a Republican who is known and respected through­ out the state. There can be no question- that the speech of the gov­ ernor has given offense to thousands of .men not less loyal than himself. This single utterance has resulted in nullifying ail the good effects of the position which the governor has hitherto occupied, or is supposed to have occupied. In the interest of the country, therefore* we take the liberty of suggesting to Governor Bickett the wisdom of making some amends.—Greensboro News. “TL S. S.” A Good Opportunity to Buy Im­ proved Cattle. West Raleigh, N- C.,—As pre viously announced, drought condi - tions in the great cattle sections of Texas and the Southwest have, made it impossible for the ranchers in this section to feed their cattle through the winter, For this reason they are sending fine breeding animals, to the shambles, in spite of the fact that there is ai great shortage of such cattle !Ul over the southeastern section of the United States. Some of these cattle have been bred up for many years, and while not all are pure bred, the Jargerportion are of very high grade. Most of them are of Hereford, Shorthorn and Ab­ erdeen Angus origin, and are in con­ dition to stand shipping well. According to Mr. R. S. Curtis, those farmers of North Carolina who want improved cattle now have their greatest opportunity to pur­ chase such cattle at prices verv much below what these would command under normal conditions. In. a IeT- ter to the county agents and county food administrators, Mr. Curtis has called their attention to the need of such animals in this state, where a feed supply, is available, and has asked these men to take the neces­ sary steps for placing orders prompt­ ly. The Office of Beef Cattle and Sheep Investigations will' act in an advisory capacity, while direct pur­ chases will be made through Mr. C. F. Walker, representing the U. S Department of Agriculture and the Texas Extension Service, Seibold Ho tel, Fort Worth, Texas. Most of the cattle comes from tickfree territory and may be ship­ ped into this State without the usnal restrictions by the veterinary au- thorities.’ while the railroad admin­ istration has granted a 25 per cent reduction in freight on all cattle shipped out of this drought stricken area to points east of the Mississip­ pi River. There is no place in North Carolina where some of these cattle could be used to belter advantage than in Davie county. ‘Any. one; wishing to know further about these cattle will do well to see me, as there is a probability of a. few car loads being Drought to the coun­ tv.

Mr. Editor:—Tjfill you please permit me space in your paper to tell''my.‘friends back home what an enjoyable occasion I had yesterday. I had the pleasure of be ing at an old Confederate soldier’s birth­ day, it being his 73. Mr. Black celebrates it at his borne church, Mountain Creek Southern Baptist every year. At 10 a. m. the crowd began to gather in, at 10:30 Sunday School, at 11;30 was preaching service, after preaching the good ladies snread out dinner alongside of the church on the ground, all kinds of good things to" eat such as beef, ham, chicken, sausages, cakes of all kinds, pies, custards., pickles and many other things too numerous to mention, the crowd was invited to gather around, the preacher returned thanks then every one partook of the feast of good things to eat. I want to say Mrs. Black's chocolate cake waa extra fine. After every one had eaten what they wanted and the fragments taken up the crowd gathered which was about 300 went in the church, they had1 a Chnstian Harmony song service and several short speeches by different speakers then Mr. Black made a short talk tben the crowd gave him a hearty handshake wishing that he might live to enjoy many more birthdays- Every one both old and young seemed like they enjoyed the occasion fine, I must tell of the revival meeting that is going on there, many civilians and sol­ diers are .deciding 'tis time to change their way of living. The present world­ wide war is making people -realize their condition, that there ate so many going to eternity unprepared. I must close my letter by saying I receive The Record ev­ ery week, 'tis.a letter from home. JOHN H. BROWN. “TV. S. S.” WoadIeaf Citizen Desires An Auto- ' mobile. Evidently at least one citizen of the thriving town of VVoodIeaf de sires an automobile, regardless of the fact that he would not be expec-t ed to ride the entire day Sunday. An automobile is wanted and the' only cning to. do when you want an automobile is to just send your or­ der to the dealer Certainly auto­ mobile dealers keep automobiles for sale and are naturally tickled to get an order, especially for a brand new automobile, with full accessories. AU vou have to do is just place your o rd er.'If you live at a dis­ tance from the dealer you wish to please by patronizing you merely mail in your order anu the car wilt be shipped at Once,. if not sooner. At least this is the idea that Hardge Phifer of Woodleaf had in mind when he wrote Yount and Alexan­ der, automobile dealers at States­ ville, last week as follows: “Mr. Alexander, will ypu ship me a brand new Oakland auto to Wood leaf and then I’ll be up' there the next few days and straighten up with you, yours truly, Harge Pnifer. A sH argew asnotrated in Dunn, and Bradstreetand just at this time an over surplus of cars are not on hand, the- order was hot filled as per instructions.

The appeal to wholesale grocers in­ cludes the following:- “Only the best gas masks will save our boys from painful death. These masks can no't b6 made without good charcoal. Wood charcoal has proved deficient. The necessary charcoal can be made only from pits and shells named below. Enormous quantities of these are needed at once. The gov­ ernment needs - every stone and pit and must have them immediately. “Save also the following pits and shells: Prune pits, plum pits, apri­ cot pits, peach stones, olive pits, cherry pits, date seeds, Brazil nut shells, Hickory nut shells, walnut shells, butternut shels.

While the French advance was less spectacular than that of the British, with whom they co-operated, they were equally successful in gaining their objectives. They moved forward on a front of six miles to an average depth of I 1-3 miles, adding several hundred prisoners to the British hag. They now hold the southern outskirts of Contescourt, less than three miles from the suburbs of St. Quentin. This city, where the troops of Voh Goeben scored a great victory in 1871, is one of the buttresses of the Douai- Cambrai-St. Quentin-LaFere-Laon line, beyond which it has been announced the Germans would not fall back. With the French in the outskirts ot LaFere, with St. Quentin invested and with the British battling doggedly for Cam- brai, the great Hindenburg defense system is in danger of being breached at three of its strongest points. Once ousted from it the Teutons will have back of them no strong fortifications until they reach the Maubeuge de­ fenses.

In doing so, the government has spok­ en for all the co-belligerents. Almost immediately after receiving the Austrian government's note from the minister from Sweden, Mt. Eken- gren, Secretary Lansing issued this formal statement: “I am authorized by the President to state that the. following will be the reply of this.government to the Aus-' tro-Hungarian note proposing an unof­ ficial conference of belligerents: “ ‘The government of the ' United States feels that there is only one re­ ply ot this government to the Austro- Hungarian government. It has repeat­ edly and with entire candor stated the terms Upon which the United States would consider peace and can and will entertain no proposal for a con­ ference upon a matter concerning which it has made !its position and purpose so plain.’ ” Mr. Lansing’s statement was given out within half an hour after he had received the Austrian proposal. It would, have been forthcoming almost immediately upon the delivery of the Austrian note had it not been found necessary in order to avoid the possi­ bility of grave error to make a care­ ful comparison between the official text and that which was received in news dispatches last night from Am­ sterdam. Thus, emphasis was added to the declination, if any * were needed, the quickness of the reply indicating the existence of no shadow of doubt in the mind of the administration as to what it sholud be. As soon as Mr. Lansing’s reply can be put in form it will be handed to the Swedish minis­ ter for transmission to Austria. i^read Old Age?

FIRE OF BATTERIES, PILOTS PARACHUTE JUMPERS Thousand Community Labor Boards Nave Been Organized—Gun Produc­ tion for Army Grows. Rapidly—Iron Rations Ordered. CFrom C om m itter, on P u b lic In fo rm atio n .) Washington.—Up to a few years ago, In the public mind, all balloons were associated with parachute jumpers, county, fairs and circuses. They were used very much like their rival the old side show, full .of freaks, solely to draw a crowd: Today Uncle Sam is making balloons and training their op­ erators for distinctly another purpose. The ungainly old balloon of circus days is now a rival of its smarter and more modem brother, the airplane, In the job of being eyes for the army and navy. A dead industry was revived when the war balloon was originated. • Swinging far aloft at the end of a cable, these “elephants,” as they are now pilled, support trained observers who, by means of powerful field glasses and telephones, give range and direc­ tion to batteries. These in turn, with . well directed shots, put enemy batter­ ies out of business and break up infan­ try forming for attack. A stationary balloon four or five thousand feet in the air is an ideal place for an ob­ server. So Uncle Sam’s parachute jumpers are being instructed today, not as entertainers to draw and thrill crowds by “leaps from the clouds,” but for their own personal safety and the safety of their records made at high elevations, when a shell or an enemy airplane rips their balloon and they have to jump. For although their balloon may be destroy­ ed, the men in the basket usually come safely to . earth and bring their maps and photographs with them. It is a life full of- excitement these men of the bal­ loon lead, and to be a' member one has to have plenty of nerve, courage and daring in his makeup. Aviators take off their hats to the balloon men. One recently returned American air pilot told of an adventure he. had on. a trial trip In a balloon; how interested he was becoming in the work of the observer as the latter ex­ plained the great panorama outstretch­ ed below him; when suddenly the bal­ loon man interrupted his talk to see ' that his parachute straps were O. K., climbed to the edge of the basket, shouted: “Bent it; follow me,” and disappeared over the side. The avi­ ator said he took one look at the wind­ lass pulling the balloon to earth below, another at the oncoming enemy plane and said to himself, “Not for mine.' ■ He said he did not have the courage to jump and did not. Fortunately the enemy plane wa9 beaten oif by allied planes before Ih could get any nearer. Provost Marshal'-Generar Crowder was requested by the British embassy to give notice to the fact that British subjects, including declarants, who had registered before July 30, 1918, may enlist voluntarily In the British or Ca­ nadian army up to and including Sep­ tember 28,-1918. Those who registered on August 24, 1918, may so enlist up to and including September 23, 1918. Those who register on. September 12, 1918, may so enlist up to and includ­ ing October 12,1918. During the period so allowed for vol­ untary enlistment, British subjects may apply for exemption to the British am- hassador. At the end of the period allowed for voluntary enlistment.'Britlsh subjects, In each of these classes, may no longer enlist In the British or Canadian army but unless exempted by the British ambassador, they ‘become liable to mil­ itary service and may daim exemption under the United States Selective Serv- ’ Ice law. Bxperlments in laundering shoes are being conducted at various camps by the conservation reclamation division of the quartermaster corps. The meth­ od used is the same employed by the American expeditionary forces.

The solution used is germicide, antisep­ tic and deodorant After 14 minutes’ washing, the shoes were removed, dried' for about an hour and then resoled. . The results were found to be highly satisfactory.

Full and partial returns from 39 states and the District of Columbia give a total of 915 boards completed or in formation while four other states, two of them large Industrial common­ wealths; report the organization of boards but not the number.

The employers’ and em­ ployees’ members are chosen by their respective local organizations, their ap­ pointment being approved ’by the di­ rector general of the employment serv­ ice. It Is the work of the community boards to generally supervise the re­ cruitment and distribution of workers for war production, the actual recruit­ ing and distributing being done by the local offices and agents of the employ­ ment service, including the agents .of the public service reserve. The federal directors of employment for the states have been notified by the director general to rush the organ­ ization of the boards for their states and their functioning as quickly as possible in order to provide relief for short-handed war Industries. Some facts about guns and munitions told by the secretary of war: We are constructing a big gun( plant at Neville Island. We signed a con­ tract with United States Steel corpor­ ation to build and operate without profit this plant for guns of the larger calibers. This is the biggest plant of this kind ever conceived and will build guns of not less than 14 inch. The site is just below Pittsburgh and cov­ ers about I,OOOx acres. The housing will be on the hills south of the island. The amount of money Involved is $150,000,000 which Is being supplied by the United States government. This plant will handle a tremendous amount of material, and will be retained by the government after the war. We have.shipped two hundred and fifty 155-mm. howitzers to France. We are producing between ' 25,000 and 30,000 machine guns per month. Of Browning heavy 6,000 to 7,000; Browning light automatic rifle from S1OOO to 9,000 per month. We are making about 1,200 motor tractors per month. We are tuming'out all the smokeless pow'er we-need now. The production of rifles has been about 200,000 per month. We produce more than 50,000 pistols and revolvers per month. Orders have been given for the sup­ ply of one million emergency rations by the subsistenc.e division of the quartermaster corps.

NEWS REVIEW OF THEBREflTWAR American First Army Makes At­ tack on Both Sides of St. Mihiel Salient. HUN ARMY MAY CE IRAPPEt Many Towns and Prisoners Taken— Foeh May Be Aiming at Metz— Germans in- Picardy Trying to Halt Retreat Approximately .on Hlndenburg Line. By EDWARD W. PICKARD. The American First army, General Pershing commanding, started the first great wholly American offiensive Thursday, attacking on both sides of the St. Mihiel’ salient southeast of Verdun. The French assisted by at­ tacking on the point of the salient, but the- operation was planned , by the American staff and executed by Amer­ ican officers and troops.Utter a terrific artillery preparation which for four hours -smothered the entire region within the German lines with shells, the Tanks went over the top exactly at five o’clock, following' a rolling barrage tlmed^ for . an ad­ vance of 100 meters every 40 minutes.. Great, numbers of tanks ,supported them and cleared the way by crushing numerous concrete machine gun shel­ ters and breaking down the elaborate wire defenses. American aviators in flocks quickly drove away the few Him airmen in sight and thereafter del­ uged the enemy supply centers, mu­ nition dumps and hangars with bombs, while the observation planes directed the work of the artillery. Everything moved like clockwork and the troops speedily: gained their ob­ jectives and went on to the next ones. Village after village was taken and. by Friday the cavalry had advanced far Into the center of the salient and occupied strong positions, At the time of writing the drive was progress­ ing steadily and the Germans were In danger of finding their retreat from 'the big wedge entirely cut off.

The. quartermaster corps has just completed purchases of large quantities of 'foodstuffs for, distribution by the American Red Cross. The food will be shipped to France, Switzerland and Denmark and used for civilian relief and at prison camps. The order includes more than 2,500,- 000 pounds of hard bread; 250,000 pounds of oatmeal; 333,333 pounds oi .'resh beef and more than 500,000 cans of baked beans. Purchases also have been made' for the Red Cross of 205.00G cans of fish flakes. These flakes are a combination of haddock and shad. About 350 pounds of fresh fish ate re­ quired to make 100 pounds of fish flakes. * ' Purchases also are being.made by the subsistence division of the quartermas­ ter corps of foodstuffs for use at American rest camps in England and France.

More than 400 colleges have respond­ ed' to the war department's call for St. Mlhlel salient had been held by the Hnns' ever since 1914 and was very strongly fortified. Its base Is to­ ward the German stronghold of Metz and it may be that the drive is direct­ ed -iigainst that city. ‘ However, Mar- shtl Foch’s strategy had not been re­ vealed when this was written.' — t e — Having given up all the ground they won In their great spring drive, and finding themselves ‘ back on the old Hindenburg line, and in some places well behind it, the Germans decided to stop their retreat for a while. Marshal Foch did not fully assent to this deci­ sion, but powerful concentrations of Hnn artillery and reserves’ in strong positions, coupled with torrential rains-throughout Picardy, brought the allied offensive almost to a tempotary standstill. Not that the fighting by any means ceased, for the French and British kept pressing forward,'though more slowly, and the Germans deliv­ ered desperate counter-attacks, which In almost every instance resulted only In severe losses for them. It is the opinion of expert observers that the halt of the Huns approximate­ ly- on the Htndenburg line will be only temporary. Indeed, it Is believed, they there long If they would. For many weeks they have been hastily building new lines of de­ fense farther east, and Marcel Hntin In the Echo de Paris says they are now constructing a supreme line from Ant­ werp to Metz and are putting the Ant­ werp forts In' defensive condition. co-Operation'in training the new branch Their present line depends on Douai, are needed In.-quantlty supply to make I of the army, the students’ army train- Oambrai, St. Quentin and Laon, and t js — t _______a_-______-j I » ______ * . . _ j . i... * tA the snnthPflsF nn fhacarbon for, use in gas masks or respi­ ratory for our soldiers.- - Coconut shells have furnished the material for this carbon, but the sup­ ply of such shells is, wholly inadequate.

Douai’already was-be­ ing evacuated last week and the air­ drome moles east of it-were being dis­ mantled. The British, fighting fierce­ ly and repulsing heavy counter-attacks, were advancing, steadily. through Hav- rincourt, Pezieres- ancf , Gouzeaucourt atid forced a crossing of the Canal du Nord, thus taking the'maln .defense of Cambral on the southwest. >' S t Quem tin was the goal of a race between the British and the French, the former winning Yermand, Attilly and Yendel- Ies and closing in on the important city from the northwest, while the French southwest of the objective crossed ■ the Crozat canal and took a number of villages. A little farther south the French forces captured Trnvecy on the Oise, just north of La Fere, and from its heights were able to dominate the latter town, which was reported to have been burned by the Germans.' This operation, together with the French advance eastward from Coucy-le-Chateau, threatened to flank on both sides the forest and mas­ sif of St. Gobain, the chief defense of Laon. Withdrawal of the enemy from that forest, which is full of guns in strong defensive positions, might thus be compelled without direct attack, which. would be expensive and diffi­ cult. At the western end of the Chemin des Dames the Germans were fighting furiously in the region of -Laffaux, where they were trying to regain pos­ session of the dominating ridge which the -French and Americans had taken from them. Many fresh troops were used in these attacks, but their efforts were all- In vain. —K a- Although the stupendous German re- ti'ent of the past eight weeks has been conducted Skillfully and the enemy line Has not bean broken through, his ar­ mies maintaining contact with one an­ other, it has been in every way a most expensive operation for the Huns. In addition to the loss of great numbers of guns and immense quantities of ma­ terial, captured or destroyed, they have lost more than 300,000 men, the majority of whom, fortunately, were killed. The morale of .the army is being gradually broken by relentless; continuous and successful blows de­ livered by the allies, the supply of fighting effectives is getting low, and the people at home are becoming daily more dissatisfied and restless. . Cap­ tured orders reveal that the wounded men are put back in the ranks before they are cured, and prisoners.released by Russia -are not given time to re­ cover their strength and health. Aus­ tria has reluctantly responded to the call for aid and in the quieter sectors Austrian divisions are placed between German divisions, or Austrian soldiers are used to fill out depleted German regiments. This is.taken to mean that there will be no renewal of the Teu­ tonic offensive In Italy this year, if ever.' A considerable advance made last week by the Belgians In the sector north of Tpres was significant, inas­ much as-some military critics expect that Marshal Foch will strike there in force before Iong.- _Pa— The war department announced that Americans have been landed at Arch­ angel to take part with the other al­ lied forces there In fighting the bolshe­ vik! and re-establishing order in north­ ern. Russia. ‘These troops are from someiof our.northern states and many of them speak Russian.' Hitherto the only Americans there were marines and sailors. In Pstrogrr d, Moscow and other cities of Rnssla proper the bolshevik government Is struggling desperately against the ever-increasing, counter­ revolutionaries, slaughtering the latter mercilessly whenever they fall into their hands. • Petrograd is reported to be given over to massacres and flames and to have been captured by revolt­ ing peasants; Yaroslav and Yologda have been burned by .the soviet tropps, and Moscow is threatened with the same fate by -Trotsky. • Two attempts were made on the life of Doctor JIelf- ferlch, the new- German ambassador to Moscow, but he fled back to -Berlin. The soviet rulers, persistent shout- ers for peace without annexations and indemnities, have"’just paid‘to Ger­ many 250,900,000 rubles, the first, in­ stallment of the indemnity exacted from the unhappy country • by the Huns. In Siberia the allies, with - the 'Czecho-Slovaks, Cossacks and loyal Russians, have been making satisfac­ tory progress, but the Austro-German ex-prisoners and the bolshevikl are putting. up so obstinate a resistance that Japan Is contemplating sending a much stronger force In' order to in­ sure the safe j of the expedition and : its' allies before the winter sets,'In. ,The Japanese government Is convinced that the American government yWill abandon its opposition to snch a course. —te — - The. London Express says it has un­ questionable information that the for­ mer empress of Russia and all her children have been murdered by bol- shevlki. If this is true, the entire im­ mediate family of Nicholas lias now been exterminated. The dowager em­ press and her daughter and son-in-law were attacked by bolshevikl at Talta, but were saved by men from the Black sea fleet after two weeks of fighting. —ha— The progress of the Czecho-Slovaks of Austria-Hungary toward the inde­ pendence recognized by Great Britain and America is encouraging. The ex­ istence of the Czecho-Slovak state was declared -i>y all the Czech deputies In the Austrian parliament and has now been indorsed by all of the clergy of the Bohemian dioceses. —ha— ■ Baron Burian, Austro-Hungarian for­ eign minister, who still is at outs with Berlin because he insists on an Aus­ trian solution of the Polish problem, nevertheless was employed once more last week to start a Teutonic peace offensive. This, aimed directly at Presi-r dent Wilson, was a suggestion that the central powers and the entente get to­ gether for an exchange of views and to • consider all.the things which are keep­ ing the belligerents apart. He inti­ mated this might make further fight­ ing unnecessary. Though President Wilson is not quoted In reply, Wash­ ington dispatches make it clear that he holds unwaveringly’ the position that the only tolerable peace will be, not negotiated, but dictated to the central powers by the allies, and that that Is the kind of peace which the allies will achieve. In this, it Is needless to say, he is backed up by the entire nation. No one In a position to predict pre­ sumes to believe that such a peace can be attained this year, but no one in­ tends that any other kind of peace shall be accepted by America.

Gladly, with patriotic exalta­ tion, some 13,000,000. youths and older men enrolled themselves for military duty, and from their number 3,000,000 more trained soldiers will soon be ready to move forward to the battle lines. Millions of others, not so fit In one way or another for-actual fighting, will be listed for other work directly connected with the carrying on of the war. In a few weeks the relative standing of the 13,000,000 will have, been determined. According to Pro­ vost Marshal General Crowder, the first to be selected for the cantonments and camps will be those between nine teen and twenty-one and between thir ty-one and thirty-six.

In the former case they casualties. were con­ fined to men in the engine rooms and the vessel put back to a French port under her own.steam.:' All the men- on the.

Perhaps the most famous woman that ever lived was Mother Goose. Oth­ er women, particularly a few bad ones, have enjoyed celebrity, but she achieved immortality. She is called Mother Goose because that was her name. For she was a real person, and dwelt in the city of Boston. She lived in a tittle one-story house with a roof that sloped almost down to thq ground—just such a house as one might expect Mother Goose to occupy—not far from the Common. The house vanished long ago, but the church in which she was accus­ tomed regularly to worship still stands. It is the famous old South church. Her maiden name was Elizabeth Foster. In fact, she was an old maid, twenty-eight years of age—quite elder­ ly for an unmarried woman in those days—when she met and became the wife of Isaac Godse. . She had children and grandchildren, and it was for the latter that she wrote her rhymes, which were first published by Tliomas Fleet, her son-in-law, In Boston, In 1716. Mother Goose died in 1757, aged nine­ ty-two. AU Soldiers Are Fatalists. Practically all the, soldiers become Cntalists about death. Tou see men die through some incredible chance.

Synopsis—Fired by the sinking of the ,Lusitania, with the loss of American lives, Arthur Guy Empey, an American living in Jersey City, goes to England and enlists as a private in the British army. After a short experience as a recruiting officer In London, he is sent to train­ ing quarters in France, where he first hears the sound of big guns and makes the acquaintance of “cooties.” After a.brief period of'training Empey’s company is sent into the front-line trenches, where he takes his first turn on the fire step while the bullets whiz ,overhead. Empey learns, as comrade falls, that death lurks always In the trenches. Chaplain distinguishes himself by rescuing wounded men under hot fire. With pick and shovel Emfley has experience as a trench digger In No Man’s Land. Exciting experience on listening post detail. Ex­ citing work on observation post duty. Back in rest billets Empey writes and stages a successful play. ' CHAPTER XXI. —17— About Turn. The next evening we were relieved by the —th brigade, and once again returned to rest billets. Upon arriving et these billets we were given twenty- four hours Sn which to clean up. I had just finished getting the mud from my uniform when the orderly sergeant in­ formed me that my name was in orders to leave, and that I was to report to the orderly room in the morning for or­ ders, transportation and rations. I nearly had a fit, hustled about packing up, filling my pack with sou­ venirs such as shell heads, dud bombs, nose caps, shrapnel balls, and a Prus­ sian guardsman’s helmet. In fact, be­ fore I turned in that night, Ihad every­ thing ready to report at the orderly room at nine the next morning. I was the envy of the whole section, swanking around, telling of the good time I was going to have, the places I would visit, and the real, old English beer I intended to guzzle. Sort of rubbed it Into them, because they all do it, and now that it was my turn, I took pains to get my own back. At nine I reported to the captain, re­ ceiving my travel order and pass. He ' asked me how much money I wanted to'draw. I ' glibly answered, “Three hundred francs, sir;” he just as glibly handed me one hundred. Beporting at brigade headquarters, with my pact weighing a ton, I waited, with forty others, for the adjutant to Inspect us. After an hour’s wait, he came out; must have been sore because he wasn’t going with us. The quartermaster sergeant issued os two days’ rations, In a little white canvas ration bag, which we tied to our belts. Then two motor lorries came' along and we piled in, laughing, joking, and In the best of spirits. We even loved the Germans, we were feeling so happy. Dur journey to *seven day*’ bliss In Blighty had commenced. The ride in the lorry lasted about wo hours; by this time we were cov­ ered with fine, white dust from the road, but didn’t mind, even if we were nearly choking. At the railroad station at F— we reported to an officer, who had a white band around his arm, which read “R. I. 0.” (Boyal Transportation Officer). To us this officer was Santa Claus. The sergeant in charge showed him our orders; he glanced through them and said: “Make, yourselves- comfort­ able on the platform and don’t leave; the train is liable to be along in five minutes—or five hours.” It came in five hours, a string of eleven match boxes on big, high wheels, drawn by a dinky little engine with the “con.” These match boxes were cattle cars, on the’ sides of which was painted the old familiar sign, “Homines 40, Chevaux 8.” The R. T. O. stuck us all into one car. We didn’t care; It was as good as a Pullman to us. Two days we spent on that train,- bumping, stopping, jerking ahead, and sometimes sliding baCk. At three sta­ tions we stopped long enough to make some tea, but were unable to wash, so when we arrived at B , where we were to embark for Blighty, we were as black as Turcos and, with our un- shaven faces, we looked like a lot of tramps. Though tired out; we were happy. ' We had packed up, preparatory to detraining, when a R. T. O. held up his hand for us-to stop where we • were and came over. This is what he said: “Boys, Fm sorry, but orders have just been received cancelling all leave. -If you had been three hours earlier you would have gotten away. Just stay In that train, as it is going.back. Rations will be issued to you for your return journey to your respective stations. Beastly rotten, I know.” Then he left. A dead silence resulted., Then men started to curse, threw their rifles on the floor of the car;-others.said noth­ ing, seemed to lie stupefied, while some had the tears running dO)vn their cheeks. It was s bitter disappointment Snail- How we blinded at the engineer of that train; it was all his fault (so we reasoned) ,; why hadn’t he speeded up a little or been on time, then we would have gotten off before the order ar­ rived? Now it was no Blighty for us. That return journey ,was misery to' u s; I just can’t describe it. When we got back to rest billets, we found that our brigade was In the trenches (another agreeable surprise) and that Jin attack was contemplated. Seventeen of the forty-one will never get another chance to go on,leave; they were killed in the attack. Just think if that train bad been on time, those seventeen would still be alive. I. hate to tell you how I was kidded by the boys when I got back, but it was good and plenty. Our machine gun company took over their part of the line at seven o’clock, the night after I returned from my near leave. At 3 :30'.the following morning three waves went over and captured the first and second German trenches. The machine' gunners went over with the fourth wave to consolidate the cap­ tured line or “dig ib,” as Tommy calls it. Crossing No Man’s Land without clicking any casualties, we come to the German trench and mounted our guns on the parados of same. I never saw such a mess in my life —bunches of twisted barbed wire lying about, shell holes everywhere, trench all bashed in, parapets gone, and dead bodies, why, that ditch was' full of them, theirs and ours. It was a regu­ lar morgue. Some were mangled hor-. ribly from our shell fire, while others were wholly or partly buried in the mud, the result of shell explosions cav­ ing in the walls of the trench. One dead German was lying on his back, with a rifle sticking straight up .In the air, the bayonet of which was buried to the hilt in his chest. Acrosshisfeet lay L dead English soldier with a bul­ let hole In his forehead. This Tommy must have been killed just as he ran his bayonet through the German. Rifles and equipment were scattered about, and occasionally a steel helmet could be seen sticking out of the mud. At one point, just In the entrance to a communication trench, was a stretch­ er. On this stretcher a German was lying ,with a white bandage around his knee, near to him lay one of the!, stretcher-bearers, the red cross on his arm covered with mud and his helmet filled with blood and brains. Close by, sitting up against the wall of the trench, w ith head resting on his chest, was the other stretcher-bearer. He seemed to be alive, the posture was so natural and easy; but When I 'got closer I could see a large, jagged hole in his temple. The three must have been killed by the same shell-burst The dugouts were all smashed In and knocked about, big square-cut timbers splintered into bits, walls caved in and entrances Choked. Tommy, after taking a trench, learns to his sorrow that the hardest part of the work is to hold i t In our case this proved to be so, The Gernian artillery and machine guns had us taped (ranged) for fair; it was worth your life to expose your­ self an instant - Don’t think for a minute that the Germans-were the only sufferers; we were clicking casualties so fast that you needed an adding machine to keep track of them. *- Did you ever see one of the steam shovels at work on, the Panama canal? Well, it would look like a hen scratch-; ing alongside of a Tommy “digging In” while under fire. Xou couldn’t see day­ light through,.the clouds of'dirt from his shovel; • After Ioring three out of six men of our crew; we managed to set up our machine gun. One of the legs of the tripod w asresttog on. the Chest of a half-buried , body. When the gun was. firing, it gave the impression that the body was breathing. This was caused by the . excessive vibration. Three or four-feet ddwn.the trench, about three: feet from the ground, a foot was protruding from the earth. W eknewltwM « QMwati by ihe.ot&cl leather boot. One of our crew used that foot to hang extra bandoliers of ammunition on. This man always’was a handy’ fellow-; made' use' o f little points that the ordinary person’ would overlook.’ \ The Germans made three counter­ attacks, whidh we repulsed,- but- not without heavy loss on our side. -They also suffered severely from our shell and machine-gun fire. The ground was spotted with their dead and dying. - The next day things were somewhat quieter, but not quiet enough to bury' the dead. We lived, ate and slept Sn that trench with the unburied dead for six days It was awful to watch'their faces be­ come swollen and discolored. - Tovwds the last the stench whs fierce: What got on my nerves the most was that foot sticking out or the d irt ’ It seemed to me, at night; in’ the moon­ light, to be trying .to-twist- around.- Several times this impression was so strong that I went to it and grasped it : In both hands, to see If I could feel a movement. I told this to the man who had used It for a hatrack just before I lay down ’ for a.IitUe nap, as things were quiet, and I needed a rest pretty badly ; When I woke tip the foot was gone. - He had cut it off with our chain saw out of the, spare parts’ box, and. had plastered the stump over with inud. During the next two or three days, before we were relieved, I missed that foot dreadfully j seemed as if I had’ suddenly lost a chum. I think the worst thing of all was to watch the rats, at night; and some­ times In the day, run over and play about among the dead. •Near our gun, right across the para­ pet, could be seen the body of a-Ger­ man lieutenant, the'head and arms of' which were hanging into our trench.. The man who had cut’off the foot used to sit and carry on a one-sided conven sation with this officer, used to argue and point out why Germany was in the wrong. During all of this monologue I never heard him say anything out of the way—anything that would have hurt the officer’s feelings had he heen alive. He was square all right; wouldn’t even take advantage of a' dead man In an argument To civilians this must seem dread­ ful, but out here one gets so used to awful sights that it makes no impres­ sion. In passing a butcher shop you are not shocked by seeing a dead tur­ key banging from a hook. Well, In, France, a dead body is looked upon from the same angle. •But, nevertheless, when our'six days were up, we were tickled to death to be relieved. Our machine gun" company lost seventeen killed and thirty-one wound­ ed In that little local affair of “straightening the line,” while thq other companies clicked it worse than we did. ' After the attack we went into re­ serve billets for six days, and' on the seventh once again we were In rest bil­ lets. ' CHAPTER XXU. Punishments and Machine-Gun Stunts, Soon after my arrival In France; In fact, from my enlistment, I had found that In the British army discipline is very strict One has to be very care-, f ul in order to stay on the narrow path of government virtue. There are about seven million ways of breaking the king’s regulations; to keep one you have to break another. The'worst punishment is death by a firing squad, or “up against the wall,” as Tommy calls i t This Is for desertion, cowardice, mu­ tiny, giving information to the enemy, looting, rape, robbing the dead, forcing a safeguard, striking a superior, etc. Then comes the punishment of sixty- four days in the front-line trench with­ out relief. During tills time you have to engage in all raids, working parties ,in No Man’s Land, and every hazardous undertaking that comes along. If you live through the sixty-four days you ore’indeed lucky. ‘ • OVER THE LAND OF THE LONGJlEAF PINE SHORT NOTES OF INTEREST TO CAROLINIANS.

Sticktight Variety Found, in Many Southern States Is of Importance —Few Other Types. (From the TTnited States D epartm ent of Agriculture.) SouthWn poultry raisers have an additional poultry pest to combat aside from lice and mites. It is the j sticktight flea, or Southern, chicken ! flea, which in’ many parts of the South J and Southwestern states is of great im- : portance. It has been reported as in­ jurious to poultry as far north as Kan­ sas. This form of flea attacks a num­ ber of different hosts including poultry, dogs, cats, and some wild animals. Un­ like other species the adult fleas re­ main, during the greater part of their lives, attached to the'host animal, it has been stated. In the case of poul­ try infestation fleas are -most common on the heads of the hosts, where they are to Be seen In groups or patches. This habit of attacking In clusters seems to be well marked, and an In­ fested fowl often may be recognized at a considerable distance by the dark flea covered areas about the .eyes, comb and wattles. When the fleas are ex­ cessively abundant they may be found in similar patches- on-the neck and va­ rious parts of the body. The injury is -iost marked in young chickens, which when fairly heavily infested often die quickly. ‘Older fowls are more resistant, but have been known j to succumb to very heavy infestations; LOOKf-MOTHERi SEE IF TONGUE IS COATED, BREATH HOT OR STOMACH SOUR. uCa l ifo r n ia sy r u p o f fig s* CAN’T HARM TENDER STOM­ ACH, LIVER, BOWELS.

The eggs are deposited by the adult flea while it is attached to the host They fall to the ground under the roost in chicken hduses or under sheds frequented by the poultry and there continue to develop. When dogs and cats are infested, the Immature stages develop largely in the material used by them for beds. They require com- ■paratlvely dry material tn which to breed, but a large amount oij air moist­ ure is favorable to them. Adults of this species-continue to emerge from infested trash for four or five months after all hosts have been removed; hence it is easy to. understand why chicken houses may still have many fieas in them after being unused for considerable periods. A few other species of fleas are oc- | casionally found in poultry houses. I Some of these may Be normally bird- infesting species, while others are at -home in the houses of domestic poul­ try. Infestations by these fleas have been reported from several places in the Northern states, particularly In the !•Northwest. Thepresenceofthefleas ! Is usually first detected by persons en­ tering Chicken houses and being at­ tacked by them. These fleas- do not remain attached to the host continu­ ously as does the sticktight flea. As a preliminary step it is well to see that the poultry are kept away from other animals as far as possible. Especial care should be exercised to keep dogs and cats from lying about the Chicken yards or places frequent­ ed by the poultry. AU animals, and ; the poultry as well, should be exclud- | ed from beneath houses and barns, as such places are favorable for flea de­ velopment and difficult to treat if they , become infested. These precautions ; should be followed by a thorough Cleaning out of the chicken house and outbuildings frequented by the poultry. AU of the material should be hauled ‘a good distance from the buildings and scattered. The places where the fleas are thought to be breeding should then be'sprlnkled with crude oil. It is rather difficult to destroy the stlcktight flea on fowls without injur­ ing the host It Is desirable, however, in the case of heavy infestations to de­ stroy as many of the fleas as possible. This can be accomplished by carefully applying’ carbolated vaseline to the Clusters of fleas on the fowls, or greas­ ing them with kerosene and lard—one part kerosene to two parts lard. In all cases care should be taken that the applications of grease are con­ fined to. the seat, of infestation. It Is Important that dogs and cats be freed from sticktight fleas. ThU may he accomplished by washing them in a saponified coal-tar creosote prepara­ tion, or by greasing the most heavily Infested parts with kerosene and lard. Rats sometimes harbor these fleas In considerable numbers, therefore their destruction will aid In the control wbrk as !well as doing away with another . troublesome chicken pSst. • The thorough cleansing-of poultry houses and runs and the application of crude petroleum will be found to aid In-the control of . other impdrtant enfei inlescif fowls, stich as mites and chick­ en ticks or “bine bugs,” Every mother realizes, after giving ner children “California Syrup of Figs,” that this is their ideal laxative, because they love its pleasant taste and it thoroughly cleanses the tender little stomach, liver and bowels with­ out griping.

There is each spring a.scarcity of good seed corn. This condition is • all the more regrettable, because it need not exist; and it.is much more serious than commonly supposed, , because many do hot realize fully the tremen­ dous loss to themselves and the coun­ try due to the planting of inferior seed. A full stand of plants may be obtained from inferior seed, but the yield will not be the best possible. The loss is due to delay or negligence. It can be prevented by the selection of seed com In the autumn. To be first class, seed m ust be: 1. Of a variety well adapted to the seasonal and soil conditions where it is to be planted. 2. Grown on' productive plants of a productive variety, showing all the de­ sirable characteristics. 3. Well matured, and preserved from ripening time till planting time In such a m anner ah to retain its full vigor. Three Important Requirements."

The principal, influence pro­ ducing-this. increase in yield was the selection and care of seed com. Ears to. Select. As soon as the'crop, ripens, the first step is to go through the field with seed-picking bags, and iiusk.the ears from toe stalks that have produced the most com without having b ad ; any special.advantages as to space, mois­ ture-: or. fertility; Tlie large ears on stalks stahding singly with an unusual amount of - space , around them should be avoided. Preference should be given-the plants that have produced most heavily in competition w ith a full stand of less productive plants. In all localities the inherent tendency of the plant to produce heavily of sound, dry, shelled com is' of m ost impor­ tance. The sam e day seed corn is gathered the husked ears should be put in a dry place with a free circulation of air and placed In such position that the ears do not touch each other. This is the only safe procedure. Good seed is re­ peatedly ruined because of the belief that it is already dry enough when gathered and that the precaution men­ tioned above is unnecessary. In localities where weevils and grain moths injure stored grain, the thor­ oughly dry ears should be stored in very tight mouse-proof receptacles, with one pound of moth balls or naph­ thalene inclosed for each bushel of corn. This quantity tightly inclosed with the torn will prevent damage from these insects and will not injure the seed. ’ SUITABLE TIME FOR HARVESTING PEANUTS S a v e M axim um A m ount of Food by G athering W hen M atu re.

Northern states, equivalent lots of seed being used in each state. Varieties that produced most in some states were among the poorest in others. ■ 2. Seed ears taken from the highest- yielding rows of ear-to-row breeding plats have’ repeatedly produced, better than seed ears taken from poorer- yielding rows. Seed ears from the best- producing stalks found In a. general field produced more than seed ears taken without considering the produc­ tiveness of the parent stalks. As the result of selection work of this kind,' average - acre yields on some farms have been increased 18 per cent In ip decade. I 3.

(Prepared by the United States Depart­ment of Agriculture.) Harvesting peanuts before they are mature, as is often the cise among inexperienced growers, is responsible fo r considerable loss in the yield of marketable peanuts. A few of the peanuts are very likely to m ature and sprout during rainy w eather before the crop is ready to be dug. The vines assume a yellowish appearance when the crop is m ature, which is usually, but not always, a good indication as to the proper tim e for harvesting. This, together with the turning brown and falling off of the lower leaves,- and the plump appearance of the pods should be the guide in determining the m aturity of the crop. A fter'th e crop has been dug the vines'should be-stacked before the leaves become dry and have fallen off, and special care should be given to M Building Stack of’Peanut Vines. prevent, the peanuts from . molding. The stacks should be small and placed around poles provided; with two cross­ pieces nailed to the pole ten to twelve inches -from the ground to support the vines.

The South CAN Grow Wheat And WILL Grow Wheat At A W ar M easure It Is W Uling To Do M ore T han Its P art To Feed O ur Soldiers A nd A llie s-T h e South H olds T he B anner F or Increase In W heat A creage. I Charles A. Whittle, Editorial Manager, Soil Improvement Committee, I Atlanta, Ga. The South will grow more wheat this year ‘than last because It Il Patriotic and Willing. It is willing to do its part, and more, to feed our ever-increasing army abroad—and to feed It well. It Is willing to do Its part, and more, that our allies may not suffer from hunger. It Ib wiUlng to do its part, and more, to grow wheat besides meeting the great responsibility of growing cotton, of producing vegetable oils and meal from cotton, peanuts and velvet beans; of growing rice, sugar and other' crops - which the South alone can produce and for which no pther section can tender helpi The South carries the banner for the largest percentage, of acre in­ crease In wheat in the country for the past season. It can retain that bnnner. The great wheat belt of the W est will have a big task to wrest it from it. Some Facts About Growing W heat In The South. The universal success ’ attending the gfowing of wheat in the South during the past season is evidence enough that it can be done again. ■Wheat can be grown best on clay loams or sandy clay loams. The soli Should be broken as early as possible and harrowed. Varieties that have done well in a community are m ost likely the te st tO BOW. The seed should be treated for sm ut before planting. The formaldehyde treatm ent is preferable. . > Seeding in October is better than November in .the South. A good, vigorous growth is desired before w inter sets in. W here Uie Hessian Fly is found, wheat should not be sown until after the first frost . , Better yields are obtained when the seed is drilled into the ground than when sown broadcast. Fertilizer can be applied in the drill. Generally speaking, a 10-2-2 fer­ tilizer or similar brand will be found satisfactory and profitable a t this time. Don’t: be stingy with it Nitrate of soda or sulphate of ammonia can usually be applied profitably M a top dressing in early spring. “THAVE used Dr. CaldwelPs Syrup -P- Pepsin and find it a most effective and pleasant laxative—one thafis worth recom­ mending to one’s friends.

Fall Reminders. Remember that the time to select seed com< is in the field, from good healthy stalks, that have a maximum number of eare placed right on the (talk. ■ Selecting good seed for the cotton crop next',year should likewise be at­ tended to while the plant is still growing. Tals the desirable stalks and keep the fl)lckinga separate. KiU ffie bean and pea weevils and save the Igrain by treating them with carbon K-sulphide.
