Reports from railroads controlling 61 per cent.of the country's mileage show that the railroad war board’s conservation campaign resulted in the transpottation over the lines of 8,354,000,000 more ton-miles of freight iti April than they carried in the corresponding month of 1916. “The drive the board is making to get railroads and shippers to make every freight car do the work that two did before the war is having a telling effect,”says Chairman Har- rison of the railroad lines. All of which goes to prove the statement of Mr.Brandeis,now As- sociate Justice of the Supreme Court,who asserted,while appear- ing as attorney for the government against some railroad corporations, a few years ago,that if the railroads were managed scientifically,with u view to the greatest efficiency and the best economic results,they could save several hundred million dollars a year—he named certain figures which are not now recalled. While a good many people may have believed Mr.Brandeis was prob- ably right,his remark was not tak- en very seriously.It was supposed to be the wisupported assertion of a lawyer,made to help his case ,made by a man who was neither a railroad man nor a business man, But the railroad people admit that when the war beard yot behind them and told them that certain .* and things must be done—probably with the hint thet if there wasn't a big forward movement the government mirht take over and operate the roads——the resujt shows that with the same facilities the ten-miles freight hauled in a month increased near a billion and a half over the corresponding month of the previous year.Realizing that it must be done, oO. they got buey and found that it could be dor:It would pay the codntry,if not the ca lroad compa- ©tor their diseretion in = THE COAL ROBBERY. |We take it that Secretary Lane's congratulationtothecoalmen,who have been foreed to cease,in part at least,their robbery of the public, was intended only as congratulation surrendering voluntarily,when they saw they hdd to,without waiting to be forced. |Certainly they deserve no congratu- lation for anything they have done for the public;on the contrary they deserve excoriation for what they have done. It is estimated that the reduction in the price of coal means a saving of near $200,000,000 annually to the public.The coal mine operators have not made the reduction through any consideration for the public. More than a year ago they took ad- vantage of conditions to arbitrarily advance prices. was limited and other devices adopt- ed to create the impression that the advance was necessary.By and by, after millions had been unjustly col- lected from the peuple by the un- warranted high prices,leaden-footed justice got under way and coal oper- ators were indicted.The evidence in court and the facts gathered by the Federal Trade Commission all go to show that the advance in priee was unnecessary and unjurt;that the coal people simply saw their oppor- tunity to take toll from the public and they took it in full. The price agreed upon leaves them ample profit.The pub- lic will be erateful for the relief; but when they think how much mon- no doubt ey has been unjustly taken fram them they will wonder why such things are permitted te vo on,even for a limited time;and will wonder why they have no “come back”in such cases;why the robbers should be allowed to retain the millions they have unjustly taken.And when one fixes his mind on that phase of the question and keeps it there,he is not surprised that there are So- anarchists.He not more remembered, cialists and may wonder why there are The coal case,be it is only one of a number of such out rages that have been perpetrated by people who have taken advantage of the faye conditions to er robbery. extraordinary in wholesale 2ALAA A TECC nies,to keep that was board on th The male devotees of terpsichore job ail the time.mens are usually pictured =by the non PUBLICITY FOR EXEMPTIONS.dancers,especially those’who op Publication of the names of per.Pore daneing,as effeminate,fri sons claiming:exemption from the ‘anc One hy and the aver draft for military service.together "oulda’t think the ballroom with the round on.which the !place to find recruits for army clrims are”}ase!,w Favored in a Stry ics But the Greensboro Cotijlio resoiution adopted 1},zne State asso.(Ub evider tv the centra ctat of ecretarit of commeretal The N puts it on reeord that 4s erranizations,in sesston at Hinh of the G6 members of the club have Point.Publicity of the proceedings Volunteered for the war in different of local exermption boards and the tranches of the service;and of the claims of those asking”exemption Ik left)four have dependent fam: would,it is contended,tend to pre ies,seven are under aire and two vent the granting of exemption te BPE seen to be married.This whele those not entitled to it,bat who sale response To the call of Mars by might obtain special —privilege these who trip the light fantasti through influerce.The most certain destroys the picture the opponer.t of means of insuring the just and fair application of the draft act is an aroused public sentiment that will demand a square deal and no favors ~—-no discrimination,The certainty that all claims to the exemption privilege will be made public,with the action of the board thereon,will ‘ténd to prevent the filing of spurious ,claims and prevent any tempt to improperly influence ex- 4emption boards in behalf of favored individuals .Sending men to war is a serious "matter.I will mean a death sen- tence in many cases.Therefore the “only thing to do i+to apply the law ¥staietly in the spirit in which its au thors and the yovernment intend it x to he applied.That duty done ¥scientiously,without x for anything except the merits of also to at- con consideratior g the case,will leave no just cause for {complaint Any other course —wil! arouse a feeling of dissatisfaction, of indignation and resentment,that will canse serious trouble em»._Seerenemenineernnermemomntt Prediction comes from Chicaro ~that potatoes,which have been drop- ping in price,will soon sell for the Q old figure of $1 per bushel.Onions, 2,which sold last winter at 15 and vo #eents a pound,are now 2 1-2 cents 5 wholesale.ard other ™tables abd also low In the spring ¥,when produéers were urged to plant big Cabbage veve- food crops,some of them =an- ,,Swered that the result would be that «)Preeg would drop to less thar $of fproduction Undoubtedly thex!avtediy that ts always true,when there cost a big crop The thing »needed is to regulate the marketing Sf the big surplus now the market at being put on low prices becould setored and marketed gradually,fair prices could be maintained.The ~Speculators wil!gather in this sur- ‘i plus,paying the producer ai low Aprice,store it,and sell to the consum- Ser at extortionate prices next wir Miter,and both producer and consumer -suffer as weunl.

The work of spies,through whom the Germans knew secrets of the ex- pedition,is disclosed by the news that the first attack was made far at sea before the transports and their eonvoys reached the point at which a rendezvous had been arranged withtheAmericandestroyerflotillaoper-ating in European waters.The sub- marine commanders knew when and where to attack the Americans bound for the fighting lines in France,and were assembled in forcetomeetthem.Secretary Daniels said:“It is with the joy of a great relief that I announce to the people of theUnitedStatesthesafearrivalin France of every fighting man and ev- ery fighting ship.Now that the last vessel has reached port,it is safe to disclose the dangers that were =en-countered and to tell the complete wy of peril and courage.“The transports bearing our troops were twice attacked by Ger- man submarines on the way across.On both occasions the U-boats were beaten off with every appearance of loss.One was certainly sunk and there is reason to believe that the necurate fire of our gunners sent oth- ers to the bottom.Attack Made in Force.“For purposes of convenience,the expedition was divided into contin- gents,each contingent including troop ships and a naval escort de- signed to keep off such German raid- ers as might be met.An ocean ren- dezvous had also been arranged with the American destroyers now oper-ating in European waters in order that the passage of the canger zonemightbeattendedbyeverypossibleprecaution.*The first attack took place at 10.- 30 on the night of June 22.Whatgivesitpeculiaranddisturbingsig-nifieance is that our ships were set upon at a point well this side of the rendezvous,and in that part of the Atlantic presumed free from subma- rines,“The attack was’made in force, although the night made impossible any exact count of the U-beats gath- ered for what they deemed a slaugh- ter.The high seas convoy,circling with their searchlights,answered with heavy gun fire,and its accuracystandsprovedbythefactthatthe torpedo discharge became increas- ingly seattered and inaccurate.It is not known how many torpedoes were launched,but five were counted astheyspedbybowandstern. “A second attack was launched a few days later againsi anoener con-tingent.The point of assault was beyond the rendezvous and our de- stroyers were sailing as a screen be- tween the transports and all harm.The results of the batiery were in favor of the American gunnery. “Not alone did the destroyers hold the U-beats at a safe distance,but their speed also resulted in the sink: ing of one submarine at least.Gren- ades were used in firing,a depth charge explosive timed to go off at a certain distance under water.In one instance,oil and wreckage cov- ered the surface of the sea after a shot from a destroyer at a periscope,and the reports make claim of .sink- Protected high seasing.by evrconvoyandbydestroyers,the con-tingent proceeded,and joined theothersinaFrenchport.

Following is the letter toDr.Thurston refers:“My Dear Sir:We enclose here- with copy of law passed by the lastGeneralAssemblyinregardtopris- oners suffering with Judging by this law and by expres- sions heard in various parts of theState,it is our opinion that the peo-nle of the State have decided that prisoners suffering with tuberculo- sis should be treated as sick people and should not be allowed to infect others. “We which therefore trust that vou willfamiliarizeyourselfwiththislaw.Also please talk this matter over with the chairman of the board ofcountycommissioners.” Dr.Thurston is mistaken about The Landmark having it in for him. This paper distinctly stated,in its first mention of the release of the swindler from jail,tuat ft did not auestion Dr.Thurston’s diagnosis of the case.It does not question it now,and if it has seemed to do soitmakesdueapology.Neither had The Landmark any disposition tokeeptheswindlerinjail,as much as he deserved to be there,if he was a victim of tuberculosis.That was ev- idenced by the fact that it made no attempt to bring him to Irede!l,when notified that he was to be re-leased;and further evidenced by thefactthat,notwithstanding the At- torney General’s order,the attorney for the Alexander sheriff refused to advise that the prisoner be released unless the prosecution would con- sent,which consent was given. The Landmark's criticism,which Dr.Thurston has construee as a re- flection on him,was directed at the system which properly forbids the confinement of tubercular prisoners in jail and properly requires theirtreatmentassickpeople,but does not compel county provide for their @etention while hev are treated as sick people.It is humane and entirely proper to forbid the confinement or a tubercu-lar prisoner in jail when his confine-ment may mean his death death of others by infection,but wehelieveDr.Thurston wf?dyree that it is absurd to turn a tubercular yrisoner out to roam at will,wherehecaninfectmorepeoplethanhewouldinfectinjail,end at the sametimefeellicensedtocontinuethein-fraction of the law which caused hisarrest.That is The Landmark’scomplaintanditbelievesthecom-plaint is well founded.The swindler!under consideration had been sleep-|ing in the homes of Alexander citi-zens,subjecting their families to tu-bereular infection,endangering their|health and their lives while he rob-bed them.He probably continuedthatafterhisrelease.isthefaultofDr.Thurston and no re-flection has been made on him on permits such conditfons is “a ass,”we believe Dr.Thurston will agree—extension |®"d that’s what The Landmark is af-1 ter.

Hawaii Surpassed All Others. Explanation of the quota allotment for the selective draft army shows,that the Territory of Hawaii stands in a class by itself among the States and Territories,having already fur- nished nearly 2,000 men as volun-teers in excess of the number requir-|‘ed from the islands to fill up the firstjarmy.Every other State or Territo-ry has been benefited accordingly by,a reduction in its net quota.Hawaii will not be required to fur-| nish any men whatever under the |President's call for 687,000.¢On the |basis of population,Hawaii's gross quota was 2,408. On April 1 the Territory had 4,- 237 men in the National Guard,or|nearly double the number required to fili the quota.Since April 1,142 ladditional Guardsmen and 18 volun- jteers for the regulars have been re- |cruited,making the total contribu-tion of the Territory to the army of|United States until June 30,4,397men,or 1,994 more than it was re-quired to furnish:It was this situ- ‘ation which confronted the officials when the allotment of quotas came to be figured out.To each State andTerritory,in proportion to its popu- lation,a part of Hawaii's surplus was awarded, Driving Out Agitators.

In addition there is a cax of 15 percent.on undivided surplus earnedduring1917inexcessof20percent.,or one-fifth of that amount.The first complaint is that the ba- sis of comparison in determining ex-cess profits is the pre-war period—the years 1911-12-13.The cottonmillmenvointoutthatthisperiodwasaparticularlyhardtimeoncot-ton mills.Practicaliy sii of themmadeverysmallprofits,some ofthemnone.To show how the pro-posed excess profits tax would work, they cite as an illustration a millwithacapitalandsurplusofahalfmillion,earning $225,000 net profits.The average earnings of the samemillinthethreeyearsof1911-12-15 was 6 per cent.or less,say $30,000.Under the bill the $195,000 addition-al earned in 1917 wouldbe ‘consider-ed excess profits over normal prof- its of the pre-war period and wouldhetaxedaccordingly.Under wheHousebill,after ——_the ex- emption allowed,the Federal wartaxonthismillwouldbe$37.800.Under the Senate bill it would be $114,000,which is more than three times the amount proposed in the House bill.On that showing the tax is not only inequitable but is unreasonable.It should be remembered that whilethismetho’of computing excessprofitsisveryhardoncottonmillsbecauseofdullbusinessirthepre-war period taken as a basis for theestimate,the proposed levy affects in similar degree furniture factorics and cther manufacturing establish menta,*including mercantile busi-ness nnd the business of partnership: and individuals.It is not a tax or cotton mills exclusively. Another complaint,equallyrious,is that this excess profits tax will not reach many of the largerandwealthiercorporations.Many of these are over-capitalized,or havewhatisknownas“watered stock,”so that their earnings are normallyless:than 8 per cent.The railroadcorporationsare@nexample;theAmericanTobaceoCompany=andotherlargecorporationsarecitedasothersallewedtobesoorganizedthattheywillnotshowexcessprof- its and will thus escape the tax,while the smaller corporations,es-pecially on account of the method ofcomputingthetax,will be hit hard.The comparison is not based on cap-ital,investment or volume of —busi- o F i s t e s b t se- was signalled by the British war|ness,nor the of averavewhojcraft.All six made for the Dutch}years,fixes three years priorthe|coast and two of them reached the/to the inning of war as a ba-shore.These two were badly dom-jsis.ff a corporation 6 peragedbygun-fire..and 12 per not be taxed on anto levied im:nt and thenor:fhe“prompt to woke Dp 20,1917.

SERVE TOGETHER. Speak,act aud serve together,up-held and defend the country,was thekeynoteofMr.Jas.H.Pou's patriot- ie address in Salisbury Sunday af-icrncon.Says the Post:“Myr.Pow declared mat working fortheRedCross,buying bonds andvidingthe¥.M.C.A.are all great and neble contributions,but the greatest is a faithfw!and patientsupportoftheadministration.This war,he said,will be won or lost un-der President Wilson,and it makes no matter who we wanted for Pres- ident or how we fought against war, the high duty now is to be found sup- porting the government.It willmakemistakes,has made them andwillblunder,but regardless of thisthefaceofthenationisturnedintheri¢eht direction and must be sup-ported,”That's sound doctrine.‘The gov- ernment is not infallible because themenwhoconductitarefallible.But when we are facing a foreign enemyitisthedutyofallgoodcitizenstofallinline.The people who stop to consider politics,who seek political advantage,in connection with ques- tions concerning the country’s de-fence and the successful prosecutionofthewar,are not only contempti-‘lv narrow,hide-bound.partisans,but they are jmoral traitors to the country;and this applies to those who put their own volitical welfare,their personal view,and the person- al concerns .of their constituents above the country’s welfare,as well as to those who consider party ad- vantage. If The Landmark’s_recollectionservesit,when the North Carolina eotten mill men,on a former occa- sion,called on Congressman Claude Kitchin to protest against the tariffschedulesastheyaffectedthecotton mills,Mr.Kichin told them plainly ond candidly he could fio nothing forthem.Whereupon Mr.Kitchin wasmuehcriticisedbythemillmen,who turned to Senator Simmons as theirespecialfriendandchampion;andtheyregardedMr.Simmons as theirfriendandMr.Kitchin as their ene- my.Now in the excess profits tax the mill men say they thought Mr. Kitchin and his committee were morethamhardenough;and lo and be-hold!when it got to Mr.Simmons’ committee the tax was more than trebled.And so the world wags on We are usually for the tolks whothinkaswedo;if they don't agreewithus,they are enemies. SRD eae ie TNE A 2° It isn't pleasant to think that wehavepeopleinthispartofthecoun- try who will deliberately wreck trains,but the wreck near Hunters- ville Tuesday morning.in which two livee were lost,seems to have been a ease of that kind.Almost every-thine bad that is ‘done ndw is attributedtoGernfininfluence,and whilethatinfluenceisresponsiblefo:more than énotrh,it is just as wel! to remember that we had train kers in this country before we at war with Germany.Some- ti evil people take ecvantage of 3s of excitement to eo mean #,and that may be the case in the’Huntersville wreck.But whoe, er :responsible,it is ¢reatly tomedthattheywillbefound andwillgetwhattheydeserve—in fullmessure. be ruling that no lawyers shouldbeforeexemptionboardsisagoodone;and it should be ex-so that laymen shoul’not ap- as counsel.The applicant for mpt should have all the assist- necessary to properly present|facts in support of his claim forxThisisdonebyaffida-rit and can of course get the as-of ah attorney,or any onei,to help make out the af-form.The idea isnot——before“as pleaders.‘This leaves‘examine and pass aa om >-Bee ad *workhouse of the District of areserviceshouldbewilling to pay the bill as far as our resources will per-mit;that if any of us expect to makemoneyoutofthewar,or to undulyprosperwhileothersaresacrificing,we are moral traitors.Moreover,it is a custom of .corporations and in- dividuals,whenever a new tax =isleviedthataffectsthem,to rend heaven and earth with shrieks;tocryaloudthattheyareutterlyruin- ed and undone;and by tne excessive wailing they often eseape their just share of the burden,while the mas- es who have no representatives at court to take care of their interests, bear the heavier load.At the same time it is perfectly legitimate to demand that all taxes be equitably levied.In the case un- der consideration this seems not to have been done;and from that view- point we have reason to hope and ex-pect that this particular tax will be reconsidered. _RARERARENTTIED In the report of the mobilizationoftheNewYorkNationalGuarditisstatedthat“the Fifteenth regi- ment,composed of negroes,was thefirsttoleavethecityforCampWhitman,at Beekman,there toawaitthecalltomovesouthwardfortrainingatSpartanburg,8.C.ThefourthhospitalunitandtheFour-teenth and Forty -seventh infantryregimentsalsowereorderedtoBeekman.”It is all right to sendtroopsfromtheNorthtoSoutherntrainingcamps,but the unwisdom of sending negro troops to camps intheSouthoughttoapparent.In the lines quoted it seems that negroandwhitetroopsaresenttothesamecampinNewYork,and it is distinetly stated that the negrotroopsaretobesenttotheSpartan-burg camp.Are the white troopstobesenttherewiththem?If sosomeoftheSoutherntownswhoex- hausted their resources to get campsmaywishtheyhadn’t. LTREYATRARDmL A dispatch from London,publish- ed in the daily papers this week,stated that a report from Germansourcesconveyedtheinformation that “four of the largest and most modern German submarines’were destroyed by American’warships which were convoying the first in-stallment of American troops toFrance.”That report has neither been affirmed nor denied.But if it should turn out to be true,wouldn't Secretary Daniels and Mr.George ,Creel of the publicity committee haveitonthenewspaperswhochargedthemwithundulyelaboratingthe report of the submarine attack ontheAmericantroopships?The Dan-iels -Cree]story only claimed the destruction of one su»marine,andtheGermanreportsaysfourwerelogt--the largest and most modern. If this is correct,Daniels and Creelwereentirelytoomodestintheir claims. The Duration of the War. A dispatch from Havre,France,says:“Those who wish to hazard aguessuponthe!probable duration ofthewarwillbeabletoderivesomeinformationfromthefreshleases which the British and American gov- ernments are signing on the proper- ty which they are’using in ports,The old leases are running out and are being renewed for a pe- ried of three years.Of course al- lowance has to be made for the work that will have to be done immediate-, ly following peace,but even so this news is regarded here as confirming the belief that the war witi continueintonextyear.’ This of itself mag mean nothing. The fact that leases are being re-newed for three years will not pre- vent peace in six months or three months,should the Germans yield. On the other hand the three-year leases indicate that the governments do not expect early peace. TS ee Gov.Glenn Til. While leeturing on the Chautauqua platform at Fayette,Ia.,Hon.R.B.

There are naturally many errorsinnamesofregistrantsunderthedraftact.There is no rule for spell-ing names and the registrars,inmanyinstances,in entering names on the cards,spelled them :One registrant,for instance,was doubtless named for John Bun-van,will see his name in the officiallistasBunion, else,although the pronunciation isthesame.Not only were manynamesincorrectlyspelledinenter-ing them on the cards on registrationday,but still more errors wereincopyingthelistaforthereasonthatnotallthereetstrarswrote‘ninly and the copyists were oftenunabletodecipherthename.Alltheycoulddowastoputitdownasitseemedtothem.This is to explain that the news-papers are not responsible for theerrorsinthenames,or at least notallofthem,and to suggest that the errors might lead to complications.Suppose,for instance,that one’snamewassoradicaviywrongthatithadlittleresemblancetotheorigi-nal,and the registrant would declinetoreceivethenoticesentunderthatname.although it mav ~e reatly in-tended for him?What would bedoneaboutthat?

It now appears that the government may force this co-operation. The secretary of the association was instructed to file protest with State surance Commissioner Young against the proposed increas- es in fire insurance rates in NorthCarolina,and ask the commissioner to use every means at his command against the increases ynless it isshownthattheinsurancecompanies are losing money in the State under the old rates.The proposed changes include increases of i6 pe.cent.on mercantile business and 20 per cent. on shingle-roof dwellings.Commis-sioner Young has already expressedhisintentiontoopposetheincreases. Mr.W.T.Nicholson and others called attention to the fact that in- creases in insurance rates seem to keep pace with our progress in fire protection and prevention.Just as soon as Statesville installed the wa- ter system,Mr.Nicholson stated, there was an increase in fire insur anee rates,and despite the fact that we have continued to impreve our fire-fighting equipmene, raies con- tinue to increase.Mr.James M.Ramsey,secretary- treasurer of the Iredell Canning o., which was promoted by the associa-tion,reported that the cannery would be ready for operation within two weeks.Other members reported the distribution of a large number of tomato plants among farmers who will grow tomatoes for the cannery President A.W.Bunch and Messrs.W.H.Morrison,R.L.P ton and J.Paul Leonard told of the reerent State convention in Wilson President Bunch urged members of the Statesville association to make better use of their asseciation,par- ticularly the credit bureau and the fake advertising committee.

Funeral of Mr.Moose —Victim of An Insane Man.

The circumstances of Yr.Moose's tragic death were mentioned in the last issue of The Landmark.He was a patient in the State Hospital at Morganton and was with a party of patients working on the grounds of one of the hospital eoronies,carly Monday morning,when another pa- tient,Causey Alred,struck him in the back of the head wth an axe, from the offects of which he dicc in ibout a ha'f hour.. Only the milder pattenss are sent sut with working parties.Alred had never manifested any disposition tovielence.He had had no trouble with Moose or with anybody,ut it seems that,seized by a sudden in- sane impul-c,he struck Moose with- mt warnioe.After the deed was committed he was as quiet as be- fore.The ease is very unusual Reward For Raleigh Miller. The county commissioners have offered a reward of $50 and the State a similar amount,a total of $100,for the arrest of Raleigh Mil- ler,colored,wanted in Iredell t)an- ewer a charge of murder.More than a year ago the 14th of July,1916 Raleigh Miller <hotandkilledLes.Hagan,colored,andatthesametimeshotand«livhtlywoundedacoloredwoman.The crime was committed in the eastern sub- urbs of Statesville..Miller was arrested and put in jail.In September following,while awaiting trial,he made his ccape from jail with five other prisoners and has since been at large.

The Allied Armies Face a Se-rious Situation —America’sBurdenWillBeGreat. No attempt is being made in Warhington,says an Aasociated Press dispateh,to minimize the se- riousness of the situation in the war theaters in Europe.The United States is in the war and will go|through with it;bue any hope of a}short struggle has gone glimmering|with the apparent almost completecollapseoftheRussianwarmachine.The development was not unexpectedbymanyarmyofficers.When theoffensiveofJuly1wasstartedbytheRussianforces,the most fre-heard was that itwasprobablythedyingkickoftheoldRussianmachine.For the United States,the Rus-sian collapse may have an immedi-ate and direet bearing.It will,if the German general staff presses its ad-vantage,release additional Germanforcestobolsterupthewesternfront,where American troops arg to be engaged.German line in thewesthasnotbeenseriouslyimpair- ed at any point,officers believe. They do not claim to know the situ-ation all along the battlefront,buttheyareunabletoseethattheBrit-ish and French have wrested fromtheGermansanykeypositionofsuchimportancethatitcanbeusednextyeartohurltheenemyback.Germans Gain Only Advantage. It has been noted,in fact,that the one strategic advantage gained in recent fighting was gained by the Germans,Many American army of-ficers believe that waen a small sec-tor of the British line in Belgium was overwhelmed and its defendersnearlyallcapturedorkilled,the Germans improved the situation on their weakest front me-ertally.That view is based on the opinion that the only hope of decisive attainments for the allies in the west line is rolling ip the German right flank,where it reaches the sea in Belgium. If that could be done,it is argued that the U-boat bases could bestampedoutandtheonlyoffensive instrument of the Germans be elim- inated entirely or made ineffective.The big question is whether it couldbe-done.It would sequtre combinedarmyandnavyoperationsonthat part of the Belgian coast held by theGermans,for it would be necessarytoforcealandingbehindtheirline and force the whole rignit mank back from the sea as a result,Price Would Be Appalling. The price of a victory of this na- ture against the U-boats and Ger- man shore batteries prowaniy would be appalling.and there is nothing to indicate that the effort ts being se- riously considered at the present. However,many army men,both irtheUnitedStatesandinGreatPrit- ain,favor such desperate attempt to bring the stiuggle to &conclusion. Reports received from France give no cheering picture of what must be done.There appears to be no doubtthatthealliedlinecanstandagainstanyforceGermanycanbringagainstit.Even the Russian disaster doesnotaffectthatsituation.But to gather the necessary strength for a successful offensive will take time and ample sea transportation facili- ties if the United States is to fur- nish the needed surplus of men,air- planes,munitions and food. The transvortation problems be- fore the United States both on land and sea are constantly increasing in scope.It seems to be certain now that whole railroad systems will have to be set up in France to give the American line the flow «*war ma-terials and men that it must,have to press home an attack.Americans Not Discouraged. There is an old military rule thatafortifiedpositioncannothetakenbydirectattack,but mus:be turned or isolated entirely.Some observ-ers say the allied offensive has con- sisted only of direct attacks against a line of trenches,entanglements, armored stron posts and fortified villages extend miles back of —the front on both sides,so that in ef- fect a fortified belt srretche fromtheseatotheSwissborderthatis perhaps more than 100°miles wide.Military men in Washington believe that no breach can be made for many monthe throuvh the German line of sufficient width to permit such oper- ations in the rear ax would force oa rolling up of the entire German front. Admitting ol!these points,thereisnosignofdiscouragementamong American officials President Wil- son's declaration that the nation,not merely an army,must be made ready for war is being carried out deter- minedly and apparently with confi- dence that in time men and supplies ean be got to France in sufflicent force to make certain the result.

Charlotte had a stir this week when the governmens called =for more land for Camp Greene and itwasdifficulttoobtainadditional land bheeause of fold-up prices. Charlotte business men,however, put up the money,the land was se- cured and it is now believed that allpossibilityofremovalispassed, Large forces of men are at work getting the camp in shape. The demand for more land was a result of the government’s decision to increase the number of men at the camp.Charlotte is to be con- vratulated on retaining the camp.It would nave been a disaster to lose it after all the troubie ane expense in securing:it.

Secretary McAdoo,at a special the Senate finance com mittee,revealed that the War De-| rtment alone is preparing esti- ceeek to cover additional expendit-| ures nearly $5,000,000,000,ane asi the committee to hold up the $1,670,000,0°0 war tax bill,until the detailed estimates of ali departments are submitted. The new estimates,including $500,- 000,000 additional for the shipping board and $100,000,000 for the Navy Department,are to be submitted to the committee this week.Then there will begin another revision of the war revenue measure,probably re- sulting in an increase of the bill's gross tax levy by from $50,000,000 to $1,500,000,000,Further —credits may also be authorized in the form of bonds or indebtedness certificates. Besides the additional sums need- ed for the American war pro-) gramme,Secretary McAdoo told the Senate committee that the $3,000,- 600,000 authorized for loan te the allies probably would last)only until Oetober and that about $2,000,- 000,000 for their further assistance would be needed. Senator Smoot,a member of —the finance committee,stated that the additional five billior asked would bring the war appropriations of this Congress up to $14.922,000,000,—al- most as great a sum as the tetal of the bonds issued by Great Britain during three years of war.Mr Smoot said one-half of the three bil lion loan has been ‘distributed,that the rest would be distributed in the next few weeks,and that a new $5, 000,000,000 soon would be necessary Zouaves—Trenach Cleaners.

ST SR AEA ‘NOT FOR PERSONAL “PULL.” called for military service, fad vheir relatives and friends,will gave themselves and the exemption boards a lot of unnecessary trouble if they will understand that exemp- tion i not 2 matter of persenal fa- vor.The exemption boards are Redyed about with strict rerulations, whieh they cre in honor bound to observe,and which —will certainly rive them trouble if they are not ob- derved.It is not within the prov- ince of exemption boards to grant ex- émption for personal rezsons,and appeals to them on personal grounds are unreasonable and only cause em- barrassment,The men on the ex- émption boards are representing the government.To ask them to grant an exemption,when the evidence doesn't warrant their doing so,is to ask them to stuliify themselves and to disregard the law.And when ex- emption ts refused,there should be no criticism of the boards.It is to be presumed,in the absence of evi- dence to the contrary,that they have decided acconding to the law and the facts;and if request for exemption as a personal favor is refused,it is the members of the exemption beard rather than the applicant who will have a right to feel indignant.The request is entirely improper. MR.DOUGHTON FOR DOG TAX. Congressman Doughton probably won't get his dog tax enacted,but he is to be commended for advocat- ing it.It is a proper source of rev- enue.There never has been any good reason why the owner of a dog should not pay a_privilege tax;on the contrary there are many reasons why he should.Moreover,the tax will undoubtedly mean the death of many worthlers dogs,which would eave an enormous amount of food- stot not merely the food fed to these dogs,but the quantities of chickens,ergs,sheep,ete.,stolen and consumed by dogs.Heretofore the average cindidate for the Legis- lature intimate that he favored to does.When a member of Congress, renvesenting a rural constituency, has the covraye to volily pronounce for the dog tox,it means something or at least The Landmark is going to indulge the hope that it does, eee cee ome oor eee Great Demand For Doctors.

No general class of workmen will be exempted,Provost Marzhal Crow- der told the coal preduction commit- tee,which sought information whether miners would be left at their work.Appeals to the provost mar- shal’s office from employers on be- half of their workmen can accom |plish.nothing,it ws explained,as lreghlations promujgated by Presi- ident Wilson goyérn all exemptions. “The questionfof whether a man is more useful his country in a peaceful pursuit,than in military service,is a mbtter to ve taken up with the.distrie}\\board,”said an an- nouncement,“and\for that rd to determine in the li ec stances surrounding eachease. “Procedure in case of claim for discharge on the ground of industry or agriculture is explicitly outlined in the regulations.Oniy the upper or district beard has jurisdiction over an industrial or agricultural claim for discharge.Before a man has a standing before the district board he must first be certified to it by the local or lower board as phy- sically qualified for perviee,and must have had any discharge claim made before the lower board decided ‘ ads ersely to him. “He has five days after he is cer- tified to the upper board in which to file claims for discharge and five days more in which to file proof.All claims for exemption or ciecharge, except claims for discnarre on in-dustrial or agricultural rounds,are decided originally by the local or lower board.” Most individual queries to the pro- vost marshal’s office come from men who are absent from their place of registration and who have been sum- moned for examination.Such a man should apply in writing:+o the local board in the district where he regis- tered,and request an order directinghimtoappearforphysicalexamina-: tion and possibly exemption or dis-charge claim,before the board of the district in which he is now living. This request should designate def- initely the board having jurisdictionoverthedistrictinwatchheisliv- ing.The pprovost marshrl’s office haspromulgatedrulesunderwhichnoquestionsfromindividulasorfrom local exemption boards will be an-swered by his office,as follows:“1.—-Questions by individuals shou be asked of the local board nearestthem.If the board {s unable,after consideration of the regulations and rulings,to answer the question,itaeforwardthequestiontothe Governor for decision.“2.—Questions from local board should never be addressed to the pro- vost marshal's office,but in all cases should be forwarded to the Governor of the State.“3.—In no case will)opinions or rulings be given on individual cases that have not vet been presented totheproperlocalboard.” Guilty of Desertion. Roscoe Conkling,deputy United States Attorney General of New York,speaking of the matter of ex- emption,said:“Don’t lose sight of the fact that it is one thing to claim exemption and a very different thing to get ex- empted,Before a man can be ex-empted he will have to vrove his case.It might be well to call atten- tion to the fact that,from the time a man’s name is posted as among those called for examination,that man becomes a member of the Unit- ed States army.”“Does that mean that a man fails to revert when called will court-martialed”?“Yes,it means just that.I may also add that a man who makes a false affidavit in seeking exemption will be pany of perjury,and thepunishmentforthatcrimeisfiveyearsinprisonor$2,000 fine,or both.Any person who aids,coun- sels,or in other ways assists a man of draft awe to avoid the service will be guilty of the same crime.As for a man failing to report ween called,that man will be a deserter,and de- sertion in time of war is a very se-rious thing.” American Barque Sunk.| \After being attacked by gunfire byaGermansubmariny,the American| bombs in)the entrance of the English channel)July 27,says an official statement is-|sued by the British admiralty.The: who be Sean GES Sec Sandee inquiries ! — individtal calcitrant former whose main effort continues get out of etriking distanceemy.So fast has been the retirement the Russians and the advance of enemy toward Bukowina that an arch-like formation thrown westward to Czernowitz,the ital,with the northern end reat.
