The decision of the Navy Depart- ment to spend $350,000,000 on new ted destroyers and destroyer building fa- cilities,approved by President Wil- son,is based on the effectiveness of the swift fighting machines as prov- en by Admiral Sims’forces. American experts have developed a depth bomb for use against sub- marines that is deadly at considera- ble range.The bomb,containing high explosives,is dropped from a destroyer over a spot where the, presence of a submerged U-boat is indicated.It is timed to explode at| a certain depth.If the explosion oc- curs below the U-boat and within a reasonable distance,the hull of the underwater craft cannot withstand the pressure,but is crushed like an egg shell. Signs of the destruction in this way appear on the surface in the| shape of oil from ruptured fuel tanks.bits of floating wreckage,and the like.It is very difficult,there- fore,to be certain of a hit,as the Germans on more than one occasion released oi]purposely,turned loose wreckage prepared in advance and dd everything else possible to cre- ate the impression that a boat had been sunk.; Airplanes are being used in con-.junction with the destroyer work of the allies along the French coast and in the channel. The underwater radius of the av- erage U-boat ix less than 150 miles under most favorable condition.To get that distance it would have to! travel at a rate of very few miles an hour.It is argued,therefore, that if by means of nircraft,destroy- -s and all other agencies for the de struction of submarines,a zone of 150 miles or less in width could be drawn about the German bases or the entrance of the North Sea in which a submarine could come to thesurfaceonlyatrareintervals,the Germans would not be able to oper- ate on a seale to threaten supplylinesexceptinsidethatzone. |SALAMA LEACEERITESTES Mrs.Bingham’s Will —The University Bequest.

Some of the signs carried by march-ers in the parade read as follows:“There is no substitute for wool,weneedmoresheep;”“Food and wool for workers will win the war;”“Homemakers’guild advocates sheep raising| for women.” LS *FIXED PRICE OF PAPER.i '$5.In an order which newspaper pub-lishers declare will serve Je im-portant precedent,President Wilsonhasfixedapriceof21-2 cents on|news print paper for use iningthegovernment'sbulletin.The order fixing the price was is-sued by Baker at thePresident’s direction,underthe na-tional defence act,whichempowers government to commandeer jetin |food administrator, sible,Mr.Hoover said,only if bakers, retailers and consumers unite to elim- Postoffice De-|inate wastefulandco-operate to obtain a standard- second-class|ized of the Jef-two or three dollarsflourwillselllittle cheaper than at ti) present. bakers of the country as a voluntary the hixhest bidder at the aide to Mr.Hoover,said that a 16- ounce loaf for 10 cents would FEPTOs |at the hour of neon,the following real ¢ sent a slight reduction prices. hard to bring about,since varying “tk On the negth by Tradd street,on osts in ingredients thet go into bread the wes!bh)Front pit +ceed on the east by have made it necessary to increase or the Obl Nor and Seuth Corporation fh ‘f veytnmee 4 acre More «levyreducethesizeoftheloaf.No move (yo Ooneginning at a large are will be made towards price reduction...the <junction of the ‘Tar 1 and dings puat cast of the andMr.Corby said,until the food admin- stration ha announced its plans for ye cuth «dere.cast a stake on th lealing with the baking industry west cide of Tradd street,Chener thward which may be a month yet.with the weet side of ‘Tradd street tr the ,‘branch,thence up the oranch to the begin mittee which recommended the pric: ‘onvinced it was possible to make anc 24 degrees weat 04 feet to a |sell l4-our a r 5 Vine;thenee east 24 degrees south ¥0 fect methods|la f-ounce loaf of bread for thence with Reynold’s line 120 fect to the b the ultimate conquest |cents. of to hold their 'New York at from $11.75 to $12 |barrel. flour to small bakers and retailers 200 Seet to a stake on Davie avenue. should be from $10.55 to $11.25 average retai!price of family patent*',:One Lot Reginning at Jennings corner,on flour in New York from April to Auge Mocksville road,near crioration line of city ust has been $15.36.At present bak-of Strtesville,running south 6 dewiern enst ers’patent is selling in New York te ‘%feet tom wtake,Mrx Key's corner thence jiobt or ta 5 north Mo degrees ens 48 :n stake fooeeee at $10.65,which would make Murdock’s line;thence perth 35 demrees west it cost small bakers and retaiicrs 200 feet to said Mockevtile rox with hbout $11.the road 198 feet to the besinniny ntain- 1 ,‘‘ing nearly one acre,more oo Mr.Hoover made it clenr that un One Lot Beginning at a stake on Davie der the food control act,excent in|avenue in the middle of th lane between the isolated instances,the food adminis.'we lets which were sold by Ho Burke and wife W Hill.thence with tration has no control of prices from.porry's line to a stons ers as bread. be accomplished only by voluntary ac-more or less tion by bakers and retailers and by One Loi Be na sine at MC.Willams Lenk .i Lae slim;,|ger.running with Davie avenu in a south-the assistance of the public in climie er ai ccetion 100 feet,thence in a south. nating waste.vasterty direction with W.A.Moore«lone 217 4-4 feet ttwo handred and seventeen and ,ons Sold °..fowr-fifth fect)to a stake,thence in wn ecnst- Provisi of bs iers Insur-erly direction parallel with Davie avenue 1yanceLaw.feet to MC.Williams’fine,thence with Mo Williams’fine to the bewinning,217 4-5 feet |children would receive $15 a month;| “Miciel daily |the.serviceYte$200 « needed for war ;LA,nicaonal y,whichhad announced that):ui,and den the right of free he best the public may expect is 8\ssembly.”He also declared that |16-ounce loaf for 10 vents,or possibly ss).oniy who welcomed the 8 cents.the only people bankers and editors,war were the theThe8-cent loaf of 16 ounces is pos-|4 denounced conseription and ending of troops to France.—| Ex -Senator Works of California methods...another speaker.

North Carolina's high birth rate, Our which is seven points higher tha: that of the registration area of the United States,is indicative of the hig crop of babies she is now raising along with her boasted cotton and corn,Last vear the State's birth rate was 32.0 per 1,000 of popula ton.In 1915 it was 31.9.The birth rate for the registration area of the United States for 1915 was 24...or ‘even points lower than North Car- olina's rate for the same year Coupled with the State's vrth rate is her low death rate This combination,the State Board of Henlth points out,is not only reas suring to our pride as a Commo: wealth,but becomes one hich of the State's greatest assets.Many births and few deaths among a people that s #per cent.pure is not a bad state ~affairs and no uncomfortable feeling,says the board. Another significant point that the ward brings out in view of —the State’s high birth rate,is that no State in the registration area,which ‘rea comprises the New England States,New York,Pennsyh ania, Michigan,Minnesota and the Dh triet of Columbia,even approache hat of North Carolina,despite the ‘act that all of these States have a arge per centage or a foreig?popu ation,and the birth rate for ‘ raices in this country is much hicher that for domestic races.

Defective Ammunition An investigation of the defective cartridges reported to have been supplied to the American forces in France has been asked by Gen.Cro- sier,chief of ordnance.Gen.Cro- zier said:. .“Certain small arms ammunitionsuppliedtotheexpeditionaryforce in France have been found to contain defective primers and the command- er of the force had been warned and duly advised in the premises by this department.I recommend that a beard whose membership =shal!in- clude at least one competent chemist, be appointed to investigate the cause of the defects which have heen in these primers;the methods of in- spection which are intended —to ruarantee against defects in small arms ammunition;the adequancy of the measure in consequence of this ineident,and all the circumstancesconnectedtherewith,and to make full reports upon the subject.” Gen.Crozier said a sma!!quantity of bromide,which retards fire for a fraction of a second,had been found in about 2 per cent.of the army’s cartridges.Confidence was express-ed by the general that the boardwouldfindthatthedefectwasuna-voidable.The bromide in the potas- sium chlorate of the primers,Gen- eral Crozier explained,was not de- tected in sufficient quantity by tests made at the arsenal to indicate pos- sible danger.It was sufficient,how- ever,to cause chemical!action afterthecartridgesweremadeup.“Thisisoneofthetroublesthatwemustexpectunderascarcityofchemicalscausedbyinterruptionofworldmar-kets,”said the general.

SAAT TEMES COED After Seditious Publications. Searching inquiry into the utter-~ ances of German language newspa- pers in the United States,Socialistic magazines,and literature of so-call- ed peace societies and associations, regarded as likely to lead te prosecu- tion in some instances,is being con-ducted by the Department of Jus- tice.The department considers its posi-|tion strengthened by the recent de- cision of Federal Judges Hough ofNewYorkandSpeerofGeorgia,insustainingtheactionofPostmasterGeneralBurlesoninrefusingtheprivilegesofthemailstoTheMass-eg and The Jeffersonian.Recent utterances and activitiesofMayorThompsonofChicagoandTheRepublican,a newspaper whichsupportshiminconnectionwiththeso-called convention there of thePeople’s Council of America for De-mocracy and Peace,are also beingscrutinized. The department has held rppeated- ly that it is not its functior®to pro-hibit or to break up pacifist meetings|or conventions,but a close scrutiny‘of the utterances of speakers and others at such meetings is main-tained to determine violation of theespionageact.Included in the investigation of alleged seditious publications andothersofacharacterrdedas—to —a a wspapers a Magazines publish-ed in German in this country and thespvernneandotherliteratureof I have made a|“There is no power in 21 prisoners mentioned below.”| the is = | cf i i| di ;ionlythroughtheco-opera-ition of all interests concerned.food bill that power.Everywhere ‘in Bo.5 teats he als|rope price fixing-——that isofmaximumprices—has failed.ehadthefixingofwheatpricesthrustuponus,as it is our duty to purchase80percentofthecropfor—.and we had the wheat commnameapriceasaguaranteeto pro-ducers and to stop specula ‘“The meat situation is such thatahighpricetoproducersisguaran-teed for many years.If war weretoendsuddenlyorifthesubmarineweretobeovercome,however,greatsteresofwheatwouldbereleasedinArgentina,Australia and Indiaandthebottomwoulddropoutofthemarketsinthiscountry.These threenationswillhaveonhand=soonenoughwheattofeedtheworld,butshipscannotbehadtotransportit.“Beef and pork present different situations.We export a _smal!amount of beet relatively,but now we are over-exporting pork and it may become necessary to take meas- ures to keep a proper relation be-tween the price of corn and hogs.

Dead Bank President UsedRichDepositor’s Funds. Comptroller Williams has issued a statement asserting that investiga- tion has disclosed that the late J. B.Martindale,ig 45%of the Chemical National Bank of New York,who died in July,1917,was an embezzler and forger to the extent of about $300,000, The amount was taken,the com- pany announced,from the account of a wealthy depositor,and the bank has arranged to make yood the en- tire sum. Capital and surplus of Mr.Williams announced,were not impaired in the slightest degree by the alleged operations of Martin- dale, The the bank, statement in part says: “The money was not stolen direct- ly from the bank;but was obtained ty manipulating the deposit accountofawealthydepositor,for whom Martindale acted as financial advis- er and trusted agent.Under Presi- dent Martindale's instructions the statements of this depositor’s ac-count were rendered by the bank pe- riodically to Martindale instead of cirect te the depesitor,and Martin- dule then manipulated and changed them before submitting them to the depositor.“The method by which Martindaleobvainedmostofthemoneywasbywithdrawingmoneyfromthedepos- itor’s account,either through a forg- ed check or by a ‘debit slip’signed by himself as presiaent.He would present these checks for $5,000 or $10,000,or whatever the amount might be,to the bank teller person- ally,explaining that the depositor had asked him to draw this money from the account for a donation to some hospital so that the name of the donor might not be known,01 that the depositor desired the matter handled in this manner or some oth er plausible reason;and he wouldthenappropriatethecashsowith- irawn to his own uses, “In explamning to the depositor at he end of each month these with- drawals,Martindale's plan was to nform the unsuspecting depositor hat he had placed the sums so with-drawn from the Chemical bank to the depositor's credit in a certain trustcompanyinNewYorkciiy,one of whose deposit or pass hooks he hac obtained and in which boox he would enter up in his own handwriting as leposits with the trust company the amounts of money which he hadwithdrawnfromtheChemicalNa- tional bank through the means of the forged checks or debit slips. “He also forged the depositor’s iame to certain demand notes to the tent of about 380,000,which mount he also got from the Chemni ot bank and personally appropriat- ed.” MATTERS OF NEWS. in which police estimated than 2,000 striking pack- ing h employes and their sym- pathizers participated and in’whichmanyshotswerefired,took —place Wednesday night at Armour & Company's plant in Kansas City, Kans.No one fatally hurt.

At the opening of the University last week President Graham made 5 fs _ | aa n ns e gs oc t a l re l 23 3 5 2 3 3 3 he acceptedinitsentiretywith- ithou three of districts,maybe more,aspirants honors will port,Mr.Walter Murphy of Rowan is already in the running in this dis-| reports,it depended on the side show |*tict,and so is Mr.Chas.Abernathy| in the third;while not a few folks in Congressman Webb's district,if re- ports are true,are eagerly awaiting the oportunity to swat him in the primaries.All the opposition may be removed against the day of the primaries,but present indications are that it will not be. It is said that some of the mem- bers of Congress are uneasy about the effect of the draft law and the high tax levies on their political for- tunes.The Republicans will of course try to make capital out of these things;but it is The Land- mark’s opinion that some of the con- gressional incumbents who have haggled about the draft law,who failed to give prompt and vigorous rc patriotic address,not forgetting)support to all measures for the ef- a;i = Si £< ; ae . he wale of that something. to mention that eleven members of| the faculty had entered military service or would enter.He also men-| tioned the large part played by the University in the War Between the States,etc.It is not recorded that our good friend Prof.Horace Wil- liams made any remarks.It would have been most fitting for Prof.Hor-| ace to have repeated his famous! May talk in Charlotte —to have told the University students that we are not fighting for principle in this war;that England has wronged us as greatly as Germany;in fact BEng- land's offending is more grievots; but that we fight Germany because of racial differences.Prof.Horace didn't say that at the University opening last week.If he was pres- ent it wasn't mentioned.Slowly but surely it is being borne in on us that Prof.Horace has been choked off since his Charlotte address;that his| University associates are keeping him in the background,with his light under a bushel.So long as they afe keeping him at the University it would be more just to the public to fective prosecution of the war,have much more to fear from the people who are dissatisfied with their half- hearted support of the war pro- gramme than from the people who are dissatisfied on account of the war measures.North Carolinians are by no means war mad;they didn’t want the war;but when it had to come they believe in doing a man's part in supporting it.Their apparent lack of enthusiasm may have caused some people to believe that the war isn't popular.It isn't popular,as that word is generally applied.But the man who goes out before the folks to talk against the war;who a@empts to argue that it wasn't necessary;that we should not have gone into it;that the draft law should not have been enacted;that we should have depended on volun- teers;that men should not be sent abroad to fight except by their con- sent,ete.—the man who attempts that role has a surprise in store Here and there he will find support among disaffected groups,but the people generally are heartily sup- net be May st m U|recognition te the Generence,which will mect in A3signersofthehavebeencalledtomeetin-Chatta-nooga on the 27th for a conference.Some of the changes asked are;“1 The development of a greate:degree of democracy in the govern-ment of the Charch.“2.The limitation of the authorityoftheEpiscopacy,both as to term of office and as to making of ap-intments end the limitation ofpiseopa!functions.“3.A clearer definition of the re- lation of the Episcopacy to theChurchandConferenceboards.”Other aims are thus summarized:“The enlargement of the powers of the laity by giving them represénta tion in the cabinet. “The limitation of the tenure in officeofbishopshereafterelectedtatermofyears,subject to re-elec-tion or not,as may be determined. “The effecting of such legislation as shall do away with the unit ruleandsecretsessionoftheEpiscopacy.”clause relating to the tenure of office of the bishops says:“As ourChurchholdstheEpiscopacytobeanofficeandnotanorder,life tenureisanamomaly.It runs counter te al!sense of democratic justice and tendstomaketheofficeauiometictoade-gree that is out of harmony with modern ideas.” What strength this movement ha—whether there is any general de- mand among Methodists for a change in their Church rezuiations-—remain:to be seen. AN INDIANA TRAGEDY. In Which Watauga CountyPeopleArethePrincipals.

RSTALTE ERTS The newly -created State Board of Charities and Public Welfare has made a fine start in its work by neming Mr.R.F.Beasley of Mon- roe commissioner of public welfare.It is The Landmark’s opinion that he cans,but Americans —whole-heart-misten went to is the best fitted man in the State| for the work.He is a student and a! thinker —a student of social condi-| with suspicion on the man who talks against it.| After the foregoing was written the Salisbury Post came to hand with a discussion of the same sub- ject.The>Post concludes its re- marks with the following,which —is timely: What we want today in Washiny-ton is not Democrats,nor Republi- ed Americans with one mind,onethought,one desire and one determi-nation—that is to support the gov-ernment and win the war.Not all, n. The Reporter,a paper published,at Rosedale,Ind.,no brings the’story,published in the Boone Demo-|crat,that Mrs.Edmisten has con- fessed to shooting her little daugh-ter,who has since died,and to in- flicting the wounds on herself.Au- gust 17,so the story goes,Edmistentookhiswifeandlittledaughterto the home of his uncle,four miles fromRosedale,and told them to stay|there until he called for them.He did not return that day and Mrs.Ed- her home.As the night wore on and her husband did not come,she became very nervous, thinking he had left her.In thenightshetookherhusband's gun,tions,of the public welfare.He is Democrats are of this type and if shot her child through the head and not a dreamer but a_practical man.|there are Democrats of other types,attempted While some of the things he stands for may seem impracticable,things that seemed much gore impractiea- ble hav in North Carolina,within the The Landmark expects much good results from Mr.Beas- ley’s work.It may not be apparent for a time,but it will tear fruit. Mr.Bensley was graduated from Wake Forest College in 1894 and has been engaged in newspaper work since then,being editor of the Mon- roe Journal.He has twice repre-| sented his county in the General As- sembly,being a member the House last winter. icesindteniatedeemiminemmtnimesamemmrmeoneeael In these days of bounding prices it’s a joy to find something on which the price is stationary,or has de- creased.It's a cause for happiness ided we are not interested in the if interested as a seller,then the condi- tion is all wrong and the country's going to the bad.The cause for joy frightnowixthestatementthattur- pentine,which formerly sold for $1.-10 a gallon,now selis for 45 cents.

Bombardment by the British artil- lery of the German lines in the Ypres sector,in Flanders,continues most intense,but there has been no infan- try movement in force.An attack on a larger scale than the usual daily raids is expected.Berlin apparently is much exercised over the ever-in- creasing volume of shells from the British big guns,as the report from there says’the British fire has bee: destructive. The Italians have been more ac tive on the Trentino front,harassing the enemy with raids and strong ar tillery fire.

When the Federa!court reached the case of the government vs.JohnL.Casper,J.F.Smithdeal,T.C.Me-Coy and Guy L.Hartman,—in Greensboro this week,says the News,the matter had been rendered very simple by compromise.The goy- j}ernment had accepted $100,000 from Mr.Smithdeal and the case was closed on condition that Mr.Smith deal pay the costs as assessed by the clerk. The suit was for $403,000 which was alleged to be due in taxes which were never paid on spirits manufac tured and marketed by the defend- ants.Casper had served a term intheFederalprisonatLeavenworth, Kars.,as a result of the trial of the criminal end of the conspiracy and was later pardoned.The judgment signed at Greensboro expressly stat- ed that the relief granted Mr.Smith- deal by the action of the court was purely from the civil obligations in- volved, Whether Smithdeal,MeCoy andHartmanaretobeprosecutedcrim- inally is not made clear.
