ATTNENOAT German Influence in Venezuela Washington has received reports jeerned reliable that Germany is at- tempting to get control of the Island of Margarita,off the coast of Vene- zuela,for use as a submarine base. The State Department forwarded thc information received to Venezuela for the consideration of the Venezuelanofficials. Officials do not believe that the government of Venezuela would be 2 party to any such alienation.Vene- zucla is one of the South American governments that have joined in pro- testing acvainst submarine warfare as ondcected by Germany.It has been known by the American government for weeks that German influence: have been actively at work in Vene- zuela and that indirect if not direct means have been used by the Kaiser's agents to secure popular and official! sympathy. The Venezuelan minister in Wash- ington says the story is false and he Cenounces as nonsense tal of Ger- man influence in Venezuela. More Cyclone Damage.

EE Work of the Destroyer Fleet. A dispatch from abroad says the American destroyers have completed their first month of active service in the great war.They have been fa- vored with excellent weather,which is a big factor in anti-submarine warfare.Most of the time they have had sunny skies and smooth seas, with just enough squall and storm to ir seamanship to test. The American boats are assigned to work hand in hand with the Bri:- ish squadrons,being virtually assim- jlated into the British and naval ma- chinery.A destroyer is usually out for four or five days,and_then re- turns to port for two or three days while coaling and loading supplies. Thus every American sailor gets at Jeast half a _shore leave practi- cally every week.The ‘Aanevionns take their turn with the British boats in all routine work of patrol and_convoy. work,although largely routine,is in- teresting and the Americans have never yet found time hanging heavy on their hands.There has been no actual battle as yet between =an American destroyer and the enemy, although several reports show that U-boats have been sighted and have been compelled to beat a hasty re- treat to the depths of the sea.

Wrongs must first be righted and then adequate safeguards must ! created to prevent their being com-| mitted again.We ought not to con- sider remedies merely because they have a pleasing and sonorous sound.|Practical questions ean be _settled only by practical means.Phrases will not accomplish the result.Effec- tive readjustments will,and what-ever readjustments are necessary ;must be made.Course of Action Plain.’ |“But they must follow a principle and that principle is plain.No neo- ple must be foreed under sovereign- tv under which they de not wish tolive.No territory must change hands except for the purpose of se-| curing those who inhabit it a fair chance of life and liberty.No indem- nities must be insisted on except{those that constitute payment for manifest wrongs done.No readjust-ments of power must be made ex- cept such as will tend to secure the future peace of the world and thefuturewelfareandhappinessofits|peoples.|“And then the free peoples of the world must draw together in some common covenant,some genuine and |practical co-operation,that will ineffectcombinetheirforcetosecure jneace and justice in the dealings of| inations with one another.The broth-‘erhood of mankind must no longeribeafairbutemptyphrase;it mustibegivenastructureofforceandre-—.The nations must realizetheircommonlifeandeffectawork-able partnership to secure that life ie and self-pleasing power. “For these things we can afford topouroutbloodandireasure.Forthesearethethingswehavealwaysprofessedtodesire,and unless wepouroutbloodandtreasurenowandsucceed,we may never be able to unite or show conquering forceininthegreatcauseofhumanliberty.The day has come to con-quer or submit.If the forces of au-|toeracy can divide us,they will over-come us;if we stand ,Vieto-certain and the liberty whichwi‘ordameesecure.We can ord and it caused who will perf theworkforthefirstfighting ber 57 ers,and are accompaniedbyabout50privatesandalargeciv- illan elerical force,.At their hotel thecersmetmanyBritish Cana dian officers.Everywhere,the port of arrival to London,the . jean and British officerseachotherwithprofessional est,each sizing up the . was no atmosphere of an exeursion jaunt about the trip of the Ameri- can contingent.It was and werk of the hardest kind,themafterthey‘boardedcivilianclothesafter the vessel leftthehomepieratanAmericanport.

Boring,Third Infantry Tennessce National Guard,by a court martial, for having induced a marine corps private who was scorer at national rifle matches at Jacksonville,Fla., to falsify Boring’s record.hay been commuted by President Wilson to a forfeiture of $25 a month in pay for six months and confinement to his company camp for the same period. In the order commuting the sen- tence the President states that his acticn was taken bevause of Boring’: “frank and voluntary acknowledg- ment of his offence,apparently made only for the purpose of rectification of the wrong he had done othercompetitorsandoftheexemplary reputation he had formerly borne.” German Citizen Drowned. The body of Christian W.Muller,born in Germany and a_wholesalegrocerofCharleston,8.C.,was tak-en from a lake near the Highlandhospital,Asheville,Tuesday.Attach-ed to the dead man's wrist was astoneweighing25pounds.He slip-away from the hospital thenightbefore,crossed the Frencheeanddrownedhimselfin Muller,who was afflicted withmelancholia,left a note in his cloth-ing,which he left on the bank,ask-that a Charlesten undertaker beItissaidthatthemanoverthewar. arder to have ready sale at ‘money crop at jing a shortage of ghote |land.oy be been | |the eure cans at the outset was the cause for delay in organizing the company,but cans are now in sight ly arrange for the planting of 4 good acreage in tomatoes.It is es- sential to the success of the cannery that the proper varieties of toma- toes be grown.Bear in mind that inour nlant your tomatoes must be of the Royal Red,Red Rock or Stone va- rieties.Seed may be secured at wholesale cost from Mr.N. Brown,at his place of _Dustness on east Broad street.Mr.Brown is al- so arranging to supply plants later in the season,but it is prererable that you buy your seed and have your own plant bed.If seed are sown at once there is plenty of time to grow a profitable crop.Our cans have been bought for late deliveryanditisthelatecropoftomatoes that will be desired.The government having request- ed,on account of the shortage in cans,that beans be dried instead of canned,it is not our purpose to urge the growing of larze quantities of heans for the cannery this season. However,we expect eo be in posi- tion to dry beans and fruit:this year in an evaporator,and may also do some canning of beans and other vegetables and fruit.[ff beans are planted for the cannery,they should be of Stringless Greenpod,Refures or Kentucky Wonder varieties,and should be planted for harvesting in August. As to prices:We will pay for to- matoes of the varieties desired,notlessthan35to45centsperbushel, or 55 to 60 cents per hundred pounds.And it has been demon- strated in adjoining counties that to-|: matoes may be grown very profita- bly at fieures considerably less than these.From one and a half to two and a half cents per pound will be paid for beans.And it has also been demonstrated that beans are a rood these prices.Then too.beans are beneficial to your soi!. If you give us your co-oneration st: in making this cannery a success,it will mean the bringing of the world’s market to your very door.While we shall start in a smal!way this vear, it is our purpose to grow,and we will eventially be in position to han- die all kinds of fruits and vegeta-suitable for canning.There isnoindustrythatmeansmoretothebles development and enrichment of Ire-- del!county.Things to Remember! To cet the best prices for your nreduce vou must plant the varie- ties selected by the company as the most desirable. It is better to sell tomatoes by the weight for reasons that are obvious. Remember that if you help us make the cannery a success,the market in Statesville will not be glutted any mere.because the can- nery will be able to work up surolus,The cannery will not interfere with the local club werk—was not organized for that purpose—but sim- nly to afford better marketing condi- tions for both the raw material and the canned product. Beans improve your land as much or more than peas. Adjoining counties sav the farm- ers are making $100 to $150 per acre raising tomatoes. You ean obtain bulletins on toma- to and bean growing by writing the fovernment or seeing the county demonstrator.Average vield per acre:Corn,40 ta 80 bushels;beans,150 to 250 bushels;beets,140 to 250 bushels; sweet potatoes.200 to 400 bushels; neas,170 to 500 bushels; 200 to 500 bushels. Cut the Meat and Flour Ration A resolution urging the American people to eat less meat afd more corn,rice and barley products as sub-stitutes was adopted by the House of Delegates of the American Med- ical Association,in convention —in New York city.The memorial will be sent to President Wilson,Her- hert C.Hoover and to Congress.

Military information of value to enemies is being divulged by 1 per cent.of the American newspapers, which are not regarding the vol- unteer censorship being respected by the other 99 per cent.,according to a statement of the committee on public information. A request to newspapers not to pub- lish the names of armed merchant vessels which encounter submarines was issued by the committee.“A me concern of the voluntary cen- sorship imposed upon itself by the press,”said a committee statement. “has been the suppression of the identity of armed merchant vessels that may engage in defence encoun- ;ters with submarines.The cap tains of the vessels not being EB a part of the recognized naval or ganization of the United States are outside the protection of laws of war as the German empire interprets them.In event of their e capture,death would be their fate The judicial murder of Captain Fryatt makes clear the Geirman attitude to FH zi E rE if iaf e f st r 4 these men. “The peril of the destruction of the vessels themselves in subsequent voy- ages also is intensified by establish-ing the identity as the destroyer of a avbmerine.The added danger to thekedguncrewsoffineyoungAmer- cans is equally apparent.” SUREDRanFeFloodDamageinBristol.

They hoped those demands might not arouse Europe,but they meant to press them whether they did or not. for they thought themselves ready for the final issue of arms “Their plan was to throw a broad belt of German military power and political control across the center of Europe and beyond the Mediterran- ean into the heart of Asia;and Aus-tria -Hungary was to be as much their tool and pawn as Servia and Bulgaria or Turkey or the ponderous States of the East.Austria -Hun gavy,indeed,was to become part of the central German empire,absorb- ed and dominated by the same forces and influences that had originally ce- mented the German States them- selves.The dream had its heart at Berlin.It could have had a heart nowhere else.It contemplated bind- ing together racial and political units which could be kept together only by force—czezhs,macyars,croats serbs,Rumanians,Turks.Armenians the proud States of Bohemia ani!

Official announcement that the ent’s aircraft programme been greatly enlarged,that def- f inite s have been made which will givé America and her allies a permanent supremacy of the air,and that the country mus:prepare to hundreds of millions of dollars the construction of machines and is made by iforthetraining of men, Howard E.Coffin,chairman of the Aircraft Production Board of the Council of National Defence.To train a thousand aviators a month for overseas service is the minimum mark set.“We may as well real- ize,”says Mr.Coffin,“that the dom- ination of the air will in all proba- hility prove the deciding factor in che t,war,on sea perhaps as well as on land.Military authori- ties of all the allied nations are agreed that unless the allies can se- cure a preponderance of aircraft with which to overwhelm the German lines,the war probably will drag on for years,with a constantly increas- ine toll of lives.”We can’t hope to fighting men to Europe to end the war the coming year,says Mr.Cof- fin,but by heavy expenditure for aircraft he thinks we can overwhelm the Germans in the air and render them practically impotent by cutting off means of observstion behind the fines of the allied armies.Further— “A vast superiority in aircraft means the complete blinding of the enemy.If his machines are kept out of the air he has no facilities for sighting his long-range guns;he has no means of getting charts and photographs of the opposing lines or of preparing and meeting attacks properly,and his own communica- tien lines are constantly subject to damaging rains and even to com- plete destruction. “In the present struggle between Germany and the allies the fight for supremacy in the air ir practically even,It is a nip-and-tuck race in both manufacturing and fighting. Germany has the surremacy in man- ufacturing:organizations,the allies in aggregate resources.There is reason to believe that neither alone ean secure 2 definite and permanent svvremacy.‘This is Amgrica’s one chance for turning the ftale within a vear.She cannot equip and send over enough troops and military sup- plics to determine the war in that time,although al!she can send will he necessary;it is in the air that the United States has its greatest chance to outmanoeuver Germany. “To do it we must be prepared to spend hundreds of millions of dol- lars.We should not hesitate to sac- rifice any number of millions for the sake of the more precious lives which the expenditure of this money may save.We need not speak for the much greater amount of nationalwhichanimmediateexpendi- ure of generous proportions made yw may —_—Great Britain’s lat- st apprep ation for aireraft alone as $600,000,000.Her appropria- ion for the present year will prob- bly approximate a billion.France ;spent an equal amount on her ir programme.Ti.e United States send enough nnot afford to be niggardly.Our sources are unbounded.We now ve the programme which will ke it possible to get an adequate turn from those resources.” SEPA TN EI Representatives of the Russian pro-isional government talk fine to themericancommission.Their loyaltythe_—is unquestioned.The Youncil of Soldiers and Workingmen’s legates,which scems to be much of power in the new regime in Russia,bas rejected an overcure for separate ( teace with Germany.Thet is en- uraging.But can these control andthegreatmass,the millionsandmillionsofRussianpeoplewholavebeenpracticallyslaves?TheMillionswhohelievethatfreedom ust mean an end of war?It is pos- le,for years to come,to get con- rted action,a <table government.byRussianmass?Hardly.Only can co that.We can call age from the vast deep,ut willeycomewhenwedocall?

ATS HELP THE RED CROSS. This is Red Cross week in the United States and the purpose is to secure $100,000,000 for the work of this organization.Subscriptions in any amount will be received and ev- ery citizen should feel it not only a duty but a privilege to contribute to the work at this noble organization, Senators which is one of mercy.The Red Cross is a world-wide organization and its work covers every land. Wherever there is suffering to be re-lieved the Red Cross is found at work.In every disaster,in everycalamity,the Cross is first andforemostintheworkofrelief. At this time the special work of the organizetion is giving help to the wounded,the sick and the suffer- ing in the war zones.While con- tributing to the relief of suffering and distress everywhere and among all peoples is the duty and a privi- lege of every humane individual,the work of the Red Cross now especi- ally appeals to us because our own people are going to war.In contrib- uting to its work we will be helpingourownm—in some cases our own kindred and friends and neighbors. There are many calls for help now in this war period and there will be many more.But no call is more urgent or more appealing than that of the Red Cross and it is a call we cannot afford to neglect.It is in- cumbent upon every individual to help according to his means,no mat- ter how small the gift.While all who are able should give something, the call is especially urgent to those of us who are not sending sons or brothers to the front.Those of us who stay at home should at least doourbesttohelptakecareofthose who go and the Red Cross opens theway. Give something to this cause and give it today. NTTAIANEE UNWISE CRITICISM. The Landmark confesses to some surprise that officers of the Nation- al Guard,in their efforts to secure volunteers for their commands,have felt called on to persistently —and it seems to this paper unjustly criticise the selective draft =act. Some of the remarks and the speakers at a recent meeting in Statesville were an example are not only in questionable taste,but they might have a_tendency to en- courage resistance of the draft act There may be little danger of that since the time for regulationpassed,but criticism of the act will create dissatisfaction now and canbutbeharmful,for the erities dis- tinctly create the impression that one who awaits the operation of the is draft act will be branded for all time.This is very unjust.The Guard officers are of course anxious to get volunteers,but they have enough sound argument with- out resorting to the extreme utter- ances which,while they are not so intended,can but have a harmful ef- fect.Men who vofunteer in com- mands in their home State go to the war with home folks,under homeofficersandwillserveunderthe name of the State.The Landmark thinks this is much more desirable in every way than in taking chances among strangers.But those who await the operation of the draft act have that right.They are obeying a law urged by the cummander-in- chief of the army and enacted by Congress,a law whose wisdom andjusticecannotfairlybequestioned. The private citizen may criticise the law but The Landmark is of the opinion that the National Guard of ficers who do that publicly,and es- pecially the extremes to which some of them go,are engaging in a very questionable practice, Iceeeeieeneesieeeinsemninememnemeementnnel Help the Red Cross.No matterwhatyouhavedoneorexpecttodo to help your country in this hour ofneed,the Red Cross muat not be neglected.You may not have beenabletobuyaLibertybond,but you ean give a small contribution to theRedCross,All over the Statemeetingsarebeingheldinthisin-terest and liberal contributionsmade,Statesville and lredell coun-madety—thie call is to the county as wellastothetowi>eannet afford to slackers in this noble work,f j wait De it now, 7 ona ©fake oath of ne tosmall.”These words,expressing the +the aneswamericaand sion,»Elihu Reot, voiced in Petrograd,Russia,Satur- day night by M.Teresechtenko,Rus- sian minister of foreign re- i}j| i te t neeoissionisoff sire of the W from this ants,captains, tenant were enough men over can quality,menwithmili shown ev taryex!,or sponding for the council |will be accepted. to Mr.t’s address of #8 as here en be secured and good wilh on the part rom R.W.G ,division American government.|Military Training Camps s B The American ambassador,David Greensboro,N.C.,as soon as IG SALE ON ALL R.Francis,presented the Root by the government.Full instructions|.: sion to the ministers in las to medical examination,mental : Palace,explaining that the mem-examination,ete.,will be furnished| bers of the mission had come to Rus-upon request.| sia to discover how America can,Applications will have to be made|e best co-operate with its ally in for-| warding the fight against the com- mon enemy.The presentation very formal,only a few Russian of- ficials and the members of ican embassy attending. sky,the youthful minister of war, just back from the front,wore khaki blouse of a common soldier.

A dispatch from Petrograd says a stirring proclamation —placing the Council of —Workmen and Soldiers’ Delegates on record as irrevocably opposed to a separate peace,has been adopted by the council. The proclamation was _prompte! by German efforts to lure Russia in- to separate peace and exhorts Rus sia to “rally around the banner revolution and increase ine energs of the military power for the de- fence of freedom.”The proclamation cites the receipt of a wireless televram from_Prince Leopold (Prince Leopold of Bavaria is the commander of the German ar- m the Russian front),assert- ing that the government of the Cen tral powers are ready to conclude peace with Russia and asking Rus sia to send delegates to confererwiththem.The reply of the council is a declaration of its attitude anl Minister of War Kaerensky hascausedittobesenttoalltroopsonlandandsea,and it has been widely circulated throughout the country.“Prince Leopold says he offers a peace which need not necessitate a break with the allies.He says thatbecnuseheknowsanofferofsepar- ate peace with Germany will be re-jected by our troops,”reads the proclamation, The German government,which has been endeavoring by means of semi-official communications,state- ments by the imperial chancellor, Dr.von Bethmann -Hollweg,con- cerning peace overtures;telegrams by Field Marshal von Hindenburg to the Council of Workmen's and Sol- diers’Deputies;Socialist negotia-| tors of the Scheidemann type,and in other ways,to corae to a separatearrangementforpeaceoranarmis- tice with Russia,is considering anewmove,namely,an offer of an ar- mistice for the period of the elections to the Russian constitutional con-vention.The Associated Press hasthisinformationfromareliable source,Although quiet still prevaiis on the Russian front of the war zone, there seemingly is an indication that hostilities soon will begin againthere.The Russian Duma at a se- cret session passed a resolution call- ing for an immediate offensive and declaring that a separate peace withGermanywouldbetreasontowardRussia's allies.

Despite the reduced consumption of the allies,they will require a lavy er amount of cereals next year than ever before.The allies are more iso- lated in food sources They are de- nendent upon North America for the ' vast majority of their food imports. We should be able to supply - cent.of what they require. other 40 per cent.must be made up by further denial on their part and saving en ours.Without an adeé quate food supply no European pop- ulation will continue to fight and we chall find ourselves alone against Germany.The Russian revolution was a food riot and even yet that al- ly is temporarily paralyzed.Respon- sibility rests on our government for failure of democracy through a shortage of food. Turning to domestic conditions, Mr.Hoover said this country has! been experiencing “unprecee ented | prices and rampant speculation,” citing how middlemen and all other persons in the distribution processes have been purchasing increased sup- plies to avert individual shortage. “The average prices to the consum- ers in countries where food adminis- tration is now in effect are lower than those now prevailing in the United States.”he said.“In Eng- land the price of tread is even 25 per cent.below the price we pay.” Disclaiming entirely that the bill sets up a food dictatorship,Mr. Hoover toki Senators its purposes were entirely to organize the re- sources of the country and the peo- ple themselves into a food adminis- tration,to limit middlemen's com- missions and prevent extortion. “With righteous manufacturers’and distributors’prices,”he said,“the price of flour should not have been over $9 a barrel.Yet it averages $14.In the Jast five months $250,- 000,000 has been extracted from the American consumer in excess of nor- mal profits of manufacturers and. distributors.” Not a single national trade asso- ciation,Mr.Hoover told the Sena- tors,opposed to food contre} bill He denied that the ball estab lishes a food dictatorship.He char- acterized the purposes of food ad- ministration to mobilize the peepic in erder to carry out the advice giv- en them by the goverament oficials and to decentralize the functions of the administration in order to certf- tralize the functions of the food ad- ministration in the various States A commission to take charye of production and distribution of flour, sugar and possibly a few other prin ‘ipal commodities,Mr.Hoover said, being contemplated. Revenue Commissioner a Ter- ror to Tax Dodgers. By reason of the fact that the government has the most alert Com missioner of Internal Revenue that the country has ever had,Uncle Sam is a little over $10,000,000 better off today than he would have been but for the efforts of Commissioner Os- born,says the Washington corres- pondent of the Greensboro News The commissioner has unearthed frauds against the government amounting to ever $10,000,000 with- in the last three weeks Munition manufacturers who gre supposed to pay a tax of 12 1-2 per cent,on munitions as provided in the war revenue bill,are the offenders this time.It was estimated that the government would receive from this tax =$26,000,000,0 or thereabouts. When the returns began to come in from ammunition manufacturers the amount fell shert something —like $15,000,000.Col.Osborn and his ex- perts had made conservative figures and they protested to the manufac turers that something was wrong The manufacturers contended —that everything was all right but the commissioner was not satisfied.He ,called in his most trusted secretaries and set them to work.This Was about a month ago.Up to date the commissioner has received checks amounting to over $10,000,000 —in hack taxes and the end is not yet. It will be remembered that Col Osborn uncovered over $20,000,000 in frauds which the Republican ad- ministrations had overlooked.Most of this was from oleomargarine man- ufacturers The last payment was made a few days ago when the com- missioner received a check for $998,- 000 from the estate of one man,who died with heart trouble soon after his frauds were discovered. _Seem ENA NATL SE Ship Owners Insure Crews. which all offi- American merchant ships plying between ports of —the United States and the war zone must be insured by ship owners for from 31,500 to $5,000 against death, ne Regulations under cers and men of maiming or capture,have been is- sued by Secretary MeAdoo.They be come effective as to vessels leav ing the Uriced those sa States Jyne 6 and as to r from foreign ports Ju- ly 10 The Secrewry announced the ap-pointment of John J.Crowley,a life and acemient insurance expert ef Hartford,Conn.,to have charge of a new seamen’s insurance division of the war risk insurance bureau SO TES German Casualties.

Taking note of this small tem- ,the Greensboro News inquires: “Why should the prospect of the res toration of order in China prove dis- tasteful to Japan”?The answer would seem to be that Japan practi- cally dominates China,or a large part of that country:it expects to continue that domination and natur- ally resents any other country tak- ing any action whatever with refer- ence to China without consulting Japan.The outward and visible ev- idence indicates that condition if Japan should finally completely deminate China and should succeed in making of the millions and mil- liens of Chinese the valiant fighters the Japanese are,what the combina- tion might do to the rest of the world can only be imagined.Since the World War has demonstrated that hope of universal peace is yet a dream;that the nations of the world are as war-like as at any time in the world’s history and that)moiern methods of warfare are a- and brutal as any since the dawn o time,any hope that a league of na- tions can be formed strong enough to enforce world peace,is something to be grasped at and fought for if need be.The possibility,by no means remote,that America may some day have to contend with Ja- pan,would of itself justify this country’s entering the present war-- solely to protect itself and strength- en itself against future aggressions. That is of course not the reason that prompted our entrance into the bloody struggle,but we will be fully justified,fully recompensed,for our part in it,if in the end we can help to form a league strong enough to insure our peace and safety in the future. —E SHOULD BE STOPPED. The patience of the public has at last been exhausted with the women suffragists who for months have stood about the White House grounds with banners.The limit was reached when they displayed a ban- savage f ner,the day the Russian delegation , was to call at the White House, charging in effect that the United States was not sincere in its pro- fessed interest in a democracy for Russia.The purpose of these wo- men,as evidenced in the banner de- viee,was to persuade Russia not to fight with the United States against Germany.It was moral,if not le- gal,treason,and the folks who de- stroyed the banner did the right thing. The purpose of this picketing of the White House grounds is simply to annoy the President of the Unit- ed States because he has not tried to force Congress to submit an amendment to the constitution granting suffrage to women.That would be bad enough at any time;it is unbearable when the country is at war. It is the extreme woman suffrage element that is engaged in this busi ness—the element that ix attempt ing to gain its ends by bulldoziny.It does not represent the great major- ity of either the women or the men who believe the ballot should be given to women,but who are trying to obtain that end by legitimate means.The picketing of the White House grounds and all similar at- tempts by this “element,which brings discredit on a worthy cause and one that will eventually succeed, should be ctopped,even if some ofthoseengagedinithavetobeland- ed in jail.

The government wants aviators, and needs them badly,the committee on public information announces in a summary of what already has been Aecomplished in preparation for the reat air service programme now he- ”map out. Eight hundred men are now enroll- ¢@ in preliminary instruction schools,and the ifflux continues et the rateof200aweek.After August 25,the :fovernment expects to graduate 20 k students weekly into the advanced flying fields.It is expected that 1,408 men will be actually flying hy September 8. To maintain the present schools or:many others to be established,thousands of men will be needed.The committee called attention to un- founded rumors that the air servicealreadyisovercrowded. “Instead of the acro camps becom- ing swamped,as rumor had it,”saidthestatement,“much less needful branches of patriotic effort were had-ly overdone by young men with a desire to get in and do something fortheircountry.Men between the de- sirable ages of 19 and 25 began vol-unteering in droves for the ‘mesquite fleet’under the idea that if they couldn't wet the Germans from the air they could get a shot at a submarine lying in wait off Sandy Hook or out side Boston harbor.And,as a result the courtry is still calling for flying recruits.” Beat His Wife to Death. Albert Bordeaux,a tenant farmer of Cypress township,Bladen county,is in jail at Elizabethtown chargedwithbeatinehiswifetodeath,ac-cording to reports sent to the daily a weeas had appealed to their in readiness for landlord to save her from her hus- band’s cruel treatment.The land- lord promised to have the man ar rested for cruelty.It is thought that Bordeaux overheard the conv: sation and later deliberately tried to;beat his wife to death.When neigh bors went to the house later they found the woman in a semi-conscious;condition.She died the next day after making it known,it is alleged,;that her injuries were due to her husband's cruelty.Bordeaux refus- ed to attend his wife’s funeral,and although he protested:his{when arrested by Sheriff Clark,|was found asleep in bed with a volver in his hand.The arrest was made while the funeral was being conducted. An autopsy was performed and the coroner's jury found that the woman came to her death as the re sult of blows inflicted by her husband.The victim was an old wo man and had been paralyzed.

This encouraging report comes from Moscow.Saturday the Ameri- can commission,for the first.time since its arrival in Russia,made the formal acquaintance of the represen: tatives of the workmen and soldiers Conferences were heid with the Mos- cow leaders of all the political and industrial factions,commonly grouped under the term prolevariat.Within a few hours of the arrival of the com mission,Mr.Root had delivered two stirring addresses,the first to the as- sociated committees of Moscow and the second to the municipal duma. In both meetings Mr.Root was warmly received and is repeated dec- larations that America had faith it Russia's ability and determination te wage to the end the war for democ- racy against German militarism brought an immediate response from all factions represented,to the effect that Russia would not lay down her arms while German autocracy or any other obstacle imperiled ‘the —con- tinued existence and safety the newly won freedom of the Russiar people.

Announcement of the sending of the force under Generar Vrershing_Was made May 18.There came a day ©when General Pershing was no long|@r in the department.Officers of the _general staff were suddenly missing rom their desks.No word of|Was reperted by the press.Then |word came from England that Per- shing and his officers were there.

Privilege of Elect CountySuperintendentsTheaFrom Six Counties, Statesville people have discoveredthatchapter74oftheactsoftheGeneralAssemblyof1917,whichprovidesthemethodfornamingcountyboardsofeducationintheState,contains a joker which elimi-nates the election of county superin-tendents by the popular vote in ahalfdozencountiesoftheState,Ire-dell being one. The Legisiature wrestled long andearnestlywiththepropositionsforselectingcountyboardsefeduca-tion.For some years Iredell,Meck-lenburg and fopr other counties haveelectedtheseboardsand superin-tenderts,Many other countieswantedtodolikewiseandtherewasastrongsentimenttoelectallofthembythepeople.But politicsplayeditspartandthispropositioncouldnotbeputover.Finally,aftermanyplanshadbeenprandiropped,it was agreed that hereaf-ter in 94 counties of the State,whose boards have been named by the Legislature,the beards electingthesuperintendent,candidates formembersofcountyboardsofeduca-tion should be named in the partyprimaries,the candidates so namedtobeappointedbytheLegislature.It was intended that the half dozencountieswhichhavebeenelecting their boards and superintendents should continue to do so,but in thissamechapter74,which provides the machinery for naming vounty boards in 94 counties,this »ppears:“Sec.5.That all laws and clauses of laws providing for tne ejection of eoaunty superintendents of —public instruction by the popular vote ofthepeopleofanycounty,are hereby repealed;and all county superin-tendents of public instruction shall hereafter be eleeted by the county hoards of education,as preseribed section 4,035 of the Revisal of 1905." There now!Who did do that? Iredell,Meckienburg and the oth- r four counties which have had the special privilewe theugni iney were retaining it,but)semebody put one over on them.The county superintendent and heard of education elected in Ire- jel!last fail take office on the firstMondayinJaly.Their srecessors will be elected in November,.1918 that is the successors of the countyboard,but if section 5 of chapter 74holdsthecountysuperintendentcan't be elected by the people in 1918.The beard named that fal! will name the superintendent:and as the Legislature doesn't meet again until January,1919,the law ern't be changed unti!at least oneelectionhastakenplace. The change isn't any killing mat- ter,but the joke is on the stx coun- ties of special privilege.Somebody took a part of their privilege away from them “unbeknownst”and gotbywithit. REDUCE COAL PRICES. An immediate general reduction in the price of coal at the mine was agreed upon in Washington yester- cay bv representatives of the coaloperators, This reduction is followed by still further decreases fin price after investigation into the ‘osts of mining coal and it is proba- ble that the governmen:will he giv- ena still tower price than that to general public.Hundredsmillionsofdollarswillbesaved te the American people through thisiecision.

Dr.Dixon,One of the big events of the weekwasthelecture,Wednesday eve-ning,by Dr.Frank Dixon.His sub-iect was “Unele Sam,M.D.”Dixon advances the eea that UncleSamshouldbethedoctorforallthepeople;that the health work ofthecountryshouldbeinthehandsofthegovernment;that all sick folksshouldbeattendedoydoctorspaid by the government,under govern-ment regulations,and the chief aimofcourse,should be to prevent dis-ease.He advances the theory thatunderpropersanitaryregulations end proper living,disease could bepracticallyeliminated;nobody needbesick. Dr.Dixon began by discussing the war and pointing out that as we are not a war-like people and nevermadeadequatepreparationforwar,eny war in which we engage costsvstentimesasmuchinbloodand treasure as it would cost if we werereasonablywellprepared.In thisconnectionhetookafalloutofCol.Bryan for insisting on peace whenpeacewasimpossibleandchargedbyinferencethatCol.Bryan,in an-nouncing thet his peace treaties hadmadeAmericasecureagainstwar,was responsible for Germany's ruth- less submarine warfare in so far asitaffectedAmerica,Col.Bryan’s at-titude having made the Kaiser be- lieve that America would not fight. Dr.Dixon also sneered at our adven- ture in Mexico. Dr.Dixon says the United States is the only nation that can speedily end the war and that we will have to do that by putting millions of men in the trenches in Europe andsacrificingalargeportionofthem, because we have so few trained to fight,and we will sufier me conse-quence until time sufficient has pass- ed to secure a trained force.In this connection he emphasized the factthatsolargeaproportionofthepopulationisphysivallyunfitfora soldier's work,and from:ets he pro-ceeded to discuss his roposition that Uncle Sam become physician toollthepeopleandmakeallofthemphysicallystrongbytheelimination of preventable diseases.Abolishing the yellow fever scoyrge by the gov- ernment was cited as an instance of the practicability of the plan.|r Dixon was severe on the doctors whoeracticepurelyforthemoneyandwhorobtheirvictimsbyexcessivefees.He said the great majority of the physicians are all right but theyarehandicappedbythefactthattheymustchargeafeeinordertolive.This embarrassment he wouldremoveandletthemworksolelytoabolishsickness,by having the gov-ernment pay Patent medi-cines,often a compound of cheapwhiskeyanddope,declared thepeaker,were severely denounced,I”.Dixon was with close in-terest and evidently a large portionofhisaudwaeinsymwithie"WE,rainstorm Dr.|4 will be remadeabusinesspurpose.

One of the best laws passed by the North Carolina Legislature in many years was the vital statistics law,which requires that all births and deaths be made a public record. With these facts a matter of official record the question.of age will not be Matter of dispute,and in elections or calls for army or other public service,it weuld only be nec- essary to turn to the official record to find who is within the age limit.

TEATSTT cases ridiculed Taking note of the fact that the government recently paid an aver- -;age of $11 per acre for 1.748 acres ‘of land in McDowell county for the forest reserve,the University News Letter repeats an old story,thus: In 1915 the averar>tax value of land in McDowell war $6.24 an acre.

EE a eT Coal Men Make Fair Promises. Four hundred coal operators,repre- senting the great fields of both bitu- minous and anthracite,pledged themselves at a meeting in Washington this week,to sell their product at a fan and reasonable price to be —fixed, with the approval of the defence coun- cil’s coal committee,by special com- mittees of seven producers from each coal mining State.These special com- mittees also are authorized to confer with the defence council's committee “to the end that production be stimu- lated and plans be perfected to provide adequate means of distribution.” The operators’action,in the form of a formal resolution adopted amid ap- plause,came at close of an all-day conference,which opened with ad- dresses by Secretaries Lane and Dan-iels,John T.Fort of the Federal Trade Commission,and Assistant Attorney General Lewis,all of whom frankly warned the producers that unless they‘themselves established a fair selling price and proper regulations of the in- dustry,their output would be taken over by the government. The meeting was called by the de- fence councils committee for a discus- sion of methods of reducing the price of coal both to the government and the general public. |SC SREPCEE SETISIESTA Municipal Expenditures.

ARESGESEE Alien Enemies Must Keep Out. Asheville Times. In accordance with —instructions received from the Attorney General at Washinton,United States Mar- shal Charles A.Webb has establish- ed a restricted area around the camp located at the Mountain Park hotel property at Hot Springs,where the *German interned prisoners are being held,and all alien enemies are for bidden to enter this district without a written permit from the marshal. The restricted area extends for one- half of a mile from the camp in each direction. In his order Marshal Webb states that “no alien enemy shall be pe- rmitted to be or he found within this tablished ferbidden territory with-ut having first received from the marshal a written permit allowing All aliens found within thi. without a permit will be arrested Aliens passing through, unless they alight from the vehicle, will not be required to have permits same." territory Fewer Vessels Sunk, Twenty-one British vessels of more than 1,600 tons each were sunk by mines or submarines last week,ac ‘cording to the weekly statement of losses issued by the British admiral- ty Wednesday evening.No fishiny vessels met with disaster.
