The statemes | follows: if we are to furnish the Allies with | the necessary proportion of wheat to | maintain their war bread from now yntil the next harvest—and this is a) military necessity—-we must reduce | our monthly consumption to 21° mil-| Hon bushels a month, ac against our, norma! consumption of about 42 mil- | lion bushels, or 50 per cent of our) normal consumption. Reserving | margin for distribution to the army) and for special cases this Jeaves for | consumption approximately | one and one-half pounds of wheat produets weekly per person. Many of our consumers are depend: | must be durable and therefore re} quires @ larger proportion of wheat | products tran cereal bread as baked | in the household. Our Army and Navy | require a full allowance. The well-to- | do in our population can make greater | sacrifices {y the consumption of wheat | products than can the poor. In addt- tion, our population in the agricultural districts, where the other cereals are abundant, are more skilled in the prep: | aration of breads from these other” cereals than the crowded city and in- dustrial populations. at With improved transportation we! now have available a surplus of pota: | toes. We also have in the spring | months a surpius of milk and we have t ample corn and oats for human con: | sumption. The drain on rye and bar- ley as substitutes has already greatly | exhausted the supply of these grains. | To effect the needed saving of wheat | we are wholly dependent upon the vol- untery assistance of the American | people and we ask that the following rules shall be olmerved: | Firat. Householders to use not to; exceed a total of one and one-half | pounds per week of wheat products | per person.

They have money for investment putting it in bonds”; they think it would be better “for the safety of the nation” that the bonds should be held by the peo- ple as a whole, but they are sure they will be held by only as small per cent. of the people. Therefore they “do op- pose the issuing of bonds as the po! financing | this war, believing that the method | of taxation is more equitable and just | to all the people--the tax being im- y l membership of the Farmers’ Union| nation and those who are making tre- He! mendous war profits. The Mecklenburg Farmers’ Union, session in Charlotte Saturday, lopted the following: “Whereas, the plans of financing the government and the alleged standing of the Farmers’ Union on {ji | ac : promptly adopted a} the same hes been called “to our at- resolution expressing their loyalty to| tents it is no secret | on, in session: Now, therefore, we, the Farmers’ | Union of Mecklenburg county, do | hereby pledge our loyalty to our gov- | power for our country in this time of | every one else to take all the bonds | possible, and that we have full and | emriett confidence in our President and representatives and that we stand shoulder to shoul- der with them.” That is doubtless the attitude of the Union. Criticism of the bond is- sues at this time can have only one -effect-—to hamper and defeat the sale of the bonds and thus hinder the prosecution of the war. Taxes have been levied on wealth and war profits Kitchin, chairman of the ways and means committee of Congress, that these taxes will be materially in- ereased in the near future. The orig- | | inal plan, he said, was to raise half the money by taxation and — half by bond issues, but the demand for mon- | ey came so rapidly, in hastening preparation for the war, that it was | impossible to raise half the amount by taxation. The increase in taxa- tion, however, is coming all right.

At no period of the war has the fighting been so fierce. The Ger- mans intended at any cost Yo reach and destroy the railroad communica tion at Amiens connecting the north and south. prisoners, th officers, A word must be said for the allied aviators, who from the beginning of the battle worked incessantly, taking the place of cavalry for reconnais- sances and often descending to an al titude of 100 feet or less to attack with machine guns the advancing in- fantry. Their daring seemed to have | an almost paralyzing effect on the | |German footmen, but often when the airmen returned to the airdomes to obtain more ammunition their air- planes were found to be absolutely riddled with bullet. holes. It appears that certain of the Ger- man forces possess many tanks, but, so far they have been utilized very little. A captured order shows that five of these were placed at the dispo-, sition of one division, while prisoners declare that a large number of tanks have been constructed since last fall. These vehicles comprise small tanks, 10 tons in weight and eight meters long, three meters wide and three and one-half high, and iand cruisers 14 meters long, feur wide and fou high, with a speed of from seven to 16 kilometers. They are armed with cannon and machine vuns, as well as | flame projectors, They are provider with doors and apertures which can be hermetically closed, so as to allow them to pass through gas clouds, The allies, during — their: retreat made frequent use of armored motor ears fitted with machine euns to harry their pursuers.

Traffie directors stand day and night at every cross road, giving directions so that every vehicle and cannon can reach its propper station with clack-like regularity. { The whole scheme is superintended by special officers, who have sat. in small cabins for days without a mo- ment’s rest, receiving directions from the various staffs aad transmitting them along the line.

Under the latter head officials sug- gest might be listed gamblers, book- makers for races, pool-room touts and others. Formal notification would be served upon these men that, unless within a specified time they obtained employment in some useful industry, they would have their classified stat- us changed so as to send them into military service immedistely. The plan is not designed to inter- fere in the slightest with the so-call- ed non-essential industries, These may be affected to some slight de- rree, but officials say such injury would be offset many times over by the resulting national good to be ob- tained from the augmented labor sup- nly-and the greatly incrcased produc- tion of essentials, Administration officials who have narticipated in the preparation of the plan declare that the rext step would be to obtain authority for the indus- trial classification of the man power of the country up to the age of 50 years. To make the programme fully ef- | fective it is intended to utilize the ex- isting local boards virtually as em- | nloyment agencies for their districts. | Accurate reports would be kept as to the vacancies existing in the neigh- borhoed and when a man was inform- ed that he must seek a useful occup- tion he would be told where just such a man as his questionnaire shows him |to be was needed. | The status of men on the classified lists, both in elnse one and in defer- red classes, in the opinion of the pro- vost marshal general's office, would be improved. Delinquents who did not heed the warning weuld be inducted into the military service, reducing the number of men to be called from class one: This would operate to delay still further the date vite: tie, services of men in class two might be needed. This fact is expected to draw to the aid of the “purification,” re'rtives and friends of boys who are about to be called. Japanese Land at Viadivostok. Landing of Japanese naval forces at Vladivostok, Russia, to protect life and property, is reported to the State oer by the American consul there. = The action followed en attack on a Japanese officer by five armed Rus- sians, who upon being refused money, killed one Japanese and wounded two others. The force landed was said to be small, only sufficient to prevent further disorders. It was learned officially that the American government attaches no po- litical significance to this incident. In other words, it is not regarded as be- ing connected in any way with the much discussed posibiti of Japan- ese intervention in Siberia. The land- ing party. was from a Japanese cruis- er stationed at Vladivostok. Since the return to Japan from Russia of Baron Uchida, the Japan- ese minister to Pet , the Japan- ese minister has indicated clearly that Japan does not intend at present at jeast to enter Siberia in a military way without reference to the vishes of the Russian government, unless gome extreme emergency should arise. i Admiral Kato (Ja of marine), has issued a proclamation explaining the landing of Japanese forces. He says he feels great sym- pathy with Russia in the present sit- uation, but was compelied to take steps to protect life and property of Japanese and allied subjects in view of the murder of a Japanese soldier and because there were no local or- ganizations able to maintain law and order. A British force has also been landed. Prussian officials have pro- tested. They say the landing was made without consent of the Ameri- can, British and other consuls and no warning was given to the local au- thorities. Protest was made to the consuls but they gave the Prussians no comfort and the latter are not pleased with the situation.

GERMAN ASSAULT FIERCE. toheevelione Bend Allied Line But Can't Break Through — Americans Reinforcing. Von Hindenburg is fighting be- tween Arrow in Ypres on a 80-mile front, using bis heaviest guns. The evacuation of Armentieres is an- nounced by the British. That is the ners of yesterday in brief. ; American troops ave now veinfore ing the British line in France, along the greater portion of which the Ger- mans are keeping uv their strong at- tacks with hordes of men and great eoncentrations of artillery in as- saults, that now apparently have their objective in the penetrating of the battlefront in northern Frahce and Belgium, From the south of Ypres in Hel- gium to the region of Labassee, in France, the new offensive of the Ger mans is being carried out with wreat desperation, with thousands of men under cover of unprecedented boam- bardments of the allied rear lines, en- deavoring to pierce che bravely. de- fended fronts held by the British and Portuguese—-and now nalao at some unnamed point by Aroericans. Unable to Break Theéugh., On several sectors of the new 20 mile battle line a few deen sali have been driven by the enemy,, but in the process the Germans nov here have been able to break theouch, the line merely bendings back under the freat pressvre. Particularly deep are wedires northwest of Aymentieres and northwest of Labassec.—aalients which seem to make certain the evae uation by the British of Armentieres and to threaten seriously the import: ant railroad junction of Bethune.

The latest German official asserts that between Armentieres and By. taires the Germans have croased. thie Lys river and that north of Armen. tieres the British lines on both sides of Waasten-Warneton have been per otrated, Six thousand prisoners and 100 guns are claimed to nave been taken hy the Germans in the fiehting between Armentieres and Labassee eanal.

Effective as of January 1, 1918. e 1. The United States Food Administration is endeavoring to avoid the necessity of licensing manufacturers of the products referred to above, except those who have already been licensed. We hope to secure the desired re- sults through the voluntary co-operation of the manufacturers. Such co-operation will, of itself, be the strongest possible argument aguinst the use of more forcible measures. 3 2. Manufacturers will be expected to furnish such information as to their business as may be requested, to keep such records as may be necessary ‘to verify reports or information furnished, and to permit inspection of premises, books and records by duly authorized agents of the Food Administration. 3. Appropriate measures will be taken to deal with violations of the regulations herein contained. 4. The policy of the Food Administration will be strongly against new euvterprises or additions to existing plants. No enterprise or addition should be undertaken without the written oproval of the Food Administration. 5, Every manufacturer will be expected to comply with the following requirements as to the usage of sugar. The per centuge named herein may be changed at any time without notice. 6. Every manufacturer will be expected to furnish regular quarterly repovts as of the first days of January, April, July and October. : Blanks for each Jater Quarterly Report will be mailed quarterly, prior to the quarterly date, and should be re- turned to the United States Food Administration on or before the 15th day after the quarterly date. 7. No manufacturer during any quarter of the year. 1918 may use more than 80 per cent. of the total amount of all kinds of sugar used during the corresponding quarter of the twelve months’ period from October 1, 1916, to October 1, 1917. 8. If a manufacturer is unable to purchase, during any quarterly period, the amount of sugar to which he is entitled, he may make up the deficiency in the succeeding quarterly periods. 10, No manufacturer shall have in his possession or control an amount of each of the various Kinds of sugar in excess of his man ifaeturing requirements for thirty days. : In determining the amount in “possession and eontrol,” sugar in transit to the amount necessary to maintain the thirty days’ supply shall not be included, nor any excess resulting from a carload purchase when a carload pur- chase is required under the rules and regulations of the United States Food Administration. ; 11. The word ‘sugar’ means the manufactured product “suerose,” and includes all kinds of sugar, imported and domestic raws, softs, open-kettle. seconds. plantation washed, clarifieds, Southern granulated, beet and cane refined, and invert sugar, whéther.sold as such or under a trade name. Honey, maple suyar, grape sugar, corn syrup, or glucose, molasses and refiners’ syrups, the latter being by- produets of the refiners, are not included. UNITED STATES FOOD ADMINISTRATION, WAS#HEXCTON, D. C. Pe Complying with the above instruetions, the parent company, The Coca Cola Company, of Atlanta, Ga., has notified us that they have curtailed their production of syrup, and that we will only receive 80 per cent. of the amount of syrup shipved us last year. The Governmen: ruling applies to ALL syrup manufaturers—those makirg¢ IMITATION syrups as well as the GENUINE COCA COLA. This means we can supply ONLY 80 per cent, to each customer this year, based on last year’s purchases. This is absolutely FAIR and EQUITABLE, We have a record of EVERY «ustomer’s purchase last year. EV- ERY customer—LARCGE OR SMALL—is on aif equal basis. WE propose holding our customers’ business by FAIR -and EQUITABLE di-tribution of Coca Cola. This is the most eritieal time iv tne world’s history. We ask our customers to give us their loval co-operation. No reasonable dealer will expect more than his 80 per cent, allot- ment. Most of them appreciate our position, and are giving us their hearty support. A few want all they can sell at the expense of their fellow dealers. No dealer will lose but a few dollars on his Coca Cola sales. We will lose over a thousand doliars, and will invest more than that amount in WAR SAVINGS STAMPS and LIBERTY » BONDS. re, Many customers have asked us this question: ‘‘Why is it we can only get 80 per cent. of the amount of Coca Cola we used last vear, and IMITATIONS and other drinks in almost any quantity’? te 4 After reading pe,agraph number 7 in the above regulations, you ean readily see that if ANY syrup manufac- turer can supply boltlers with their regular amount of syrup, and in some instances, an increase over last year, they are violating the 80 per cent. ruling. f Last* year, the Charles Hotel sold 1345 cases (32,280 bottles) of Coea Cola. Eighty per cent. of this amount is 1076 cases, or 90 cases per month for this year. Cafe Carolina last year sold 402 cases. Kighty per cent. means that. this year their allotment is 322 cases, or 27 cases per mont. EVERY customer is figured on the same basis. Could anything be FAIRER and more EQUITABLE? The demand for Coca Cola in bottles is growing by leaps and bounds. The supply is strictly lim-: ited. When it is plentiful again, MILLIONS of LOYAL drinkers will appreciate it more than ever before, if this be possible, : Hundreds of IM|! ATIONS are flooding the market today. Webster says imitation means “COUNTER- FEIT.” The Coca Cc'a Company makes the only GENUINE COCA COLA. If you occasionally cannot get the GENUINE — REFUSE IMITATIONS that may be offered you. Be LOYAL to COCA COLA as you are to your Government during these days of sacrifice. When you want a bottle of COCA COLA and can’t get it, don’t blame us, blame the D—— ‘aiser! Unele Sam, like other business folks, often needs money to carry on his business. It takes an enormous amount of money to conduct this great war, and supply funds to our worthy allies. Unele Sam is a great borrow- sr today. He is not an object of charity. He simply asks you to loan him money. His resources are great, and he AMfers you his ALL as security for your loan to him; at the same time paying you a good rate of interest, Buy liberally of his War Savings Stamps and Liberty Bonds. Every dollar you loan him will help knock the “L” out of Berlin, You may lose your wad tomorrow — ‘ Invest with your Uncle Sam today. Coca-Cola Bottling Co. F, L.

Mobs are laying hands on the mouthers who talk against the United States and for Germany because the law as it stands provides no adequate punishment for this class, many of whom are more irritating than harm- ful; and while this type invites mob violence, Senators of the United States have talked for days about the law proposed to reach them, these Senators being very much afraid that a law will be passed that will prevent them abusing the President if he does not appoint the postmaster of their selection. The mouthers should be suppressed, but the men who lay traps to murder the men in our army and navy by stealth need attertion and need it now. There would be some real excuse for mobs laying hold on them if the law does not pro- vide adequate remedy. LEE TO Ata Col. Henry Edward Young of Char- leston, S.

Many of the skilled laborers employed in manufacturing plants in this coun- try are foreigners, some of them ‘trained in other countries. The gov- ernment had to give orders in haste for war materiai and there was not time to examine every factory owner and every employe to establish his loyalty, which would have been dif- ficult if it had been attempted. Work- men were in great demand and those who wanted to harm America and help Germany could easily seek jobs in plants where war contracts were on, for the purpose of practicing sa- botage or doing whatever opportunity offered to help Germany and to hurt America.

War Expenses About a Billion a Month. | Nine billion dollars is the approx- |} imate cost to the United States of one year of war. i More than one-half has gone in| has | been spent for the army and military | establishments; one-tenth for the | navy and one-fifteenth for shipbuild- | ing, 3 i Just one-sixth of this big war cost} has been raised by taxation and other | ordinary sources of revenue, and the | balance has come from sale of Liber- | ty bonds and certificates of indebted- | ness. ‘ Enormous as these war expenditures may seem to a country whose govern- ment in peace times costs between $700,000,000 - and = $800,000,000, they are less than Great Britain's, and are only about one-third of estimate made | by officials less than a year ago. | Slow progress ‘of ship building and the | retarding of the outpouring of war supplies are regarded by officials as | the chief reasons why expenses did not equal estimates. Government expenses now are run- | ning about a billion dollars a month, | with somewhat less than half Sone | to allies, who spend the greater part of their loans for war supplies in this country. : Since the declaration of war, April | 6, 1917, the government's actual ex. | penditures have been more than $9,- | 800,000,000, but about $800,000,000 of | this sum would have been spent for | normal activities. : | Ordinary expenditures under which | the Treasury classifies all outlays for | operation of the governmental ma- | chinery and war enterprises, since the declaration of war, have been ap- proximately $5,084,000,000. Actual payments to allies amounted to about $4,734,000,000. : Income from internal revenue, most of which is represented by war | taxes, and from customs and miscel- laneous sources, has run up to about $1,535,000,000 and the. two Liberty | loans have brought to the Treasury a |f. little less than $5,800,000,000. SERRE OARS aE RRR Americans Will Be in Soon. American troops have not yet gone into battle in Picardy. Acting Secre- tary of War Crowell announced in| Washington Wednesday night in an} address to the National Conference of American Lecturers. added, | however, that indications are that in the near future General Pershing’s | men will be actively opposing the Germans on the western front. The purpose of the German high | |}command in its thrust, Mr. Crowell | said, is to drive a wedge between the British and French armies, roll up) | the former force to the sea and cap- | ture the channel ports, No Bavarian or Austrian troops have been employ- ed in the battle, the speaker asserted. “The situation will serious for a long time,” M: .Crowell deelared. “The | Germans have been going well and | only heavy rainstorms have prevent- | ed them from making further pro- ress,” i Turning his attention to the na. | tion’s much discussed airplane pro-| gramme, Mr. Crowell said that there | are more than 1,100 qualified Ameri- ean army fliers in Pranee and that 1,000 machines have been procured | from the French and Italians. “When | you hear of American soldiers de- fending themselves from German air- lanes with their pistols, you need not | . 1 Heve it,” said the speaker. cece ea AAR GOOD FOR MITCH!

To this end they stand commztied absolutely and without reservation. “They also believe, and with equal ly clear and decp conviction, that nev- er before has the necessity for pro- viding adequately for the institutions of the people been so obvious as it has been revealed to be by this war for democracy; that immediate con- | tinuous preparation through an ag- | gressive educational policy at home, for the State that is to be, must go |hand in hand with victorious fighting or te the front, or the whole issue must he lost. “Thoy therefore helieve that the provision made by the last Legisla- ture based on careful investiwation hy legislative committees and safe- fuarded now by the provision that the State Building Commission should ‘see that no money is spent unnecas- |: sarilygis a provision of wise and fun- damewtal statesmanship., "They further confidently believe that the State of Narth Carolina is abundantly able and willing to take eare of its ins » the nie degree prov ided by this net, and at the same time bear her full shar ‘e of her war responsibilities and privi yi oder will not on ly be contrary to the pres- hearten every constructive impulse _and effort at a& moment when a fight- ‘ing faith is supremely needed and | Justified. re MT RE ARIE OO AINA BEY OE | Would Send Preachers to Study the War.

Owing to the scarcity of labor, I fear there will be many acres of fait. ‘ly good landAeft idle this summer. ‘The farmer is just as loyal to his ,country as any citizen, and where a | farmer sees that he is géing to have some land idle this season he should /veport the fact to some one in the food administration or council of de- ‘fence and express his willingness to tender this land to be worked in some food crop that will not hurt the land. in valuable food | crops, at a nominal cost, and leave the \land better, and use the crop for hu- man or stock feed. Then the chance for sowing a wheat crop on the land next fall will be much more favora- ble, With the good roads going in all di rections and so many automobiles and pretty auto drivers, it would appear sasy to get local workers for thes¢ satches. Brother Farmer, let's do- nate at least an acre free to the city |folks and see en they can farm. They can tell all about how it ought to be done. Let’s give them a_ trial and see if they can make as big show by placing a hoe, plow, or rake in \theiy machine, and go out for the ‘anse as readily as they bought flaws and displayed from their ma- chines about a vear ago.

Now we know that cow peas is one of the best crops to plant in time of war, beans counting as peas of sourse, IT would like to suggest, as we are going to have to eat many more beans and peas this coming ‘vinter than in past years, that we look about and vet seed for planting | * the varieties that are best suitec for table use, instead of planting the jcvlored varisties. They are srood but there are other varieties that we ean grow just as well, and they com- mand a greatly increased price. and ‘re in demand all winter for table use. | iI mention the best varieties: Lare White, Black Eve, Small Black Eye. Lady pea and Crowder pea, White beans, both nole and bush. 1 find that ‘the wholesale houses have a small ‘supply of these on hand and I would ‘ sug@est that as many as can get seed of these and plant a patch, or acre, for food crops. They will sell readily from the start to spring. It is easy money.. Try a patch from a patriotic If you. don't. need th money, or like peas, plant some white deas, anyway. Plant some sorghum seed, plant some white beans, for your home use. They are good to have on the table when the finest of com- pany comes.

Gaps appeared in ithe advancing ‘lines at many places,| each; Lester Weber, some of them large, where the ma- chine guns had chewed through. Still the Gérman waves came on, without firing a single shot—just advancing. he Americans were unable tw un- derstand these tacties, Lut neverthe- less were certain that it was a ques- tien of slaughtering the enemy or being themselves smothered inder this advance. ty this time their weapons were so hot that they could not be used effectively and the onemy was close, so that the engineers re- j tired, fighting, tool: up another posi- tion; then turned aid began opera- tions again. A British officer who witnessed the engagement is report- ‘ed to have said: “They held on. by their teeth until the last moment, in. | i flicting terrific casualties on the en- emy.

The farmer: merchants, lawyers, doctors, preach ers and all others, men, worten an? children, of whatever name or de nomination or occupation, must all do their share.

W. A. THOMAS, Chm'n Co. Fuel Acmiunistration, Statesville, April 12. Extracts From an Old Paper Bearing on Present Events. To the Editor of The Landmark; | 1 have in my possession a copy of “The Due West Telesconve,” a reli¢- ious paper published at Due West. S. ;C.,. many years ago. Its date is Fri- day, December 19, 1862. There IJ find this statement: i “Rev. Dr. Wilson, of Columbia, Sec- retary of Foreign Missions (Presby- terian) has been appointed chaplain jof 8th Regiment, S..C. Reserves. An lexeellent appointment.” I take it that the above named chaplain was :the father of Woodrow ‘Wilson, then a little bey of some five ; Years of age. No one at that time |dreamed that he ever would be Pres- ident of these United States. But God had his eye upon him and so or- dered events as to bring him “to the Kingdom for such a time as this.” And just below the above notice we find this: : “President Davis is on a Visit to the army in Tennessee. Fis L-resence has had a cheering effect upon the soldiers ‘and the penple.. A few-editors seem ti fee] that it is their special mission to abuse and find fault with President Davis, but while it may he admitted that he is not faultless, it is just as certain that he is a favorite of the people. No man in the Confederacy could fill his chair as well as he does, the people being: judges.” There are seme editors still who seem to feel that it is their duty te abuse and find fault with President Wilson; but while he is not faultless it is safe to say. that no man in these United States could fill his chair ac well as he docs, S. W. HADDON, Concord, N.C, Close of Zion School — Good Teachers, Correspondence of She Landmark, The school closed at Zion April 6, hour they all joined in a ball game, From 2 p. m. till 5 p.m. a programm: wus given by the pupils, aranged Windsor and Miss Sallie Myers, which was a source of pleasure to all pres- ent, The music furnished by the “Knight and Holeome” band was a treat to the entire audience. The school at Zion has been one of great success, as both teachers were competent and successful. Mr. Wind- , sor is an experienced teacher of more than 30 years, and is one among Ire- dell's best teachers. Miss Myers hes been a very successful teacher and is ;one among the best teachers in the work. Her kind and winning ways always win for her the love and re- spect of her pupils; and as I know, she is never worried in helping and viving her best nid. I feel proud to say that I believe we have had one among the best schools in the county. ONE PRESENT. Supt. Slapped Teacher. Eleven female teachers in the newro schools at Wilson resigned because Supt. Chas. L. Coon (white) slapped , the face of one of them. The teach- ers also contend that Principal Reid of the colored school is not the prop- er man for the job. Supt. Coon saya Reid has nothing to do with the trouble; that he (Supt. Coon) order- ed the school day for the primary grades of the colored school lengthen- ed 30 minutes; that Mary Euell, one of the teachers, refused to obey the rules and defied Principal Reid. Supt. | Coon sent for the teacher to come to his office, He says the woman was | *rossly discourteous to him and that shat her mouth, rs and consumers about | nicely by their teachera, Mr. R.

With Results Mere Encouraging to the Allies. oemncen ene This mornine’s report is the ef- feet that the allies are holding their lines, the British having’ been rein- foreed by the French. The Germans are nowhere meking gains. The French have made gains in the Amiene section. Southeast of Kemmel hill, on the northern battlefront, the German forees pressed back the British line slightly but the situation was restor- aay a counter-attack, the British war office ‘announces. During Wed- nesday night there was no change in the British front. " Ont of the chaos of the tremendous battle along the Lys river, south and southwest of Ypres, there have come during the past. day reports which are more encouraging i” the allied pow- ers, says Wednesday's summary of the news of the war zone. The Brit- ish not only have held all the ground which they were defending on Tue diy, but struck back so powgrfully that Meteren and part > Wytechaete were retaken and held for a time. Only after heavy attacks did the Brit- ish retire again from the villages. The most disturbing news has been a report from Berlin that Poeleap- nelle and Langemarck, north of Ypres, have been taken by the Ger- admission from Lon- con that the British have retived from certain of their lines in the Ypres sa- lient. The retirement here was ex- pected, for the advance of the Ger- mans at Neuve Eetise and Bailleul left the positions in frent of Ypres open to a flank attack, It is officially stated that the retirement wae order-. ly and it is probable that it will have more of a sentimental than a stratasg- ie effect. Just how far the British lines have beer withdrawn is not known. It may be, however, that the German claim of taking Poeleappelle ahd Langemarék was the result of the British retirement. The battie, in its ninth day, has deepened in intensity at many points slong the curved front from Messines ridge to Meteren. There have been reports that the Germans have occu nied the village of St. Eloi, which lies more than 10 miles south of Ypres, but they have not been confirmed. ft also was said that they have taken hositions on the south slope of Mount Kemmel, which is about two and a half miles sorth of Wulverghem. This has pot been confirmed. On all the rest of the front, from Messines ridge southwestward, the Germans have flung chiensebven against the granite wall of’ the Brit- ish defence. Official and semi - offi- cial dispatches have told of the fri¢htful loss inflicted on the at- tacking masses ‘of troops by the Brit- ish rifle and machine gun fire. On the southern side of the salient there have been engagements of some narnitude, especially east of Robecq, five miles northwest of Bet hune. where the Ge rma were rht by the British artil! fire and seatter- ad, The line in front of A heen the scene of fighting, but here the British took the offensive and drove the Germans out of British trenches which had’ been carried by the enemy. rras has again Ships Lost.

Numbers, 1:1-3. | “The heads of the Eleven Tribes ‘were designated to assist Moses, the leommander-in-chief, in the adminis- ‘tration of this selective draft law. Numbers, 1:4-16.

James W. Gerard, ex - ambassador to Germany, announces that the Ger- man government had begun proceed- ‘ings to obtain possession of property of his which he had stored in a ware- house When he left Berlin. Mr. Ge- rard said that he was unable to esti- ,mate the value of the property, that it included a number of paint- ings, silver, china, bric-a-brac, and ‘other household goods. The paint- ings, he said, were part of a collection he had been making fer years. . About two weeks ago the Spanish ambassador in Washington, as representative of the German embas- sy, notified the American State De- partment that the German govern- ment had made a demand for Mr. @e- rard’s property upon the keeper of the warehouse. The State ment immediately protested to the German government th:ough — the Sranish ambassador, and informed Mr. Gerard of what had occurred. Mr. Gerard said that the property. of an ambassador left in a foreign country had always been immune from seizure in time of war, and, as’ indicating the faithfulness with which England had observed the internation- al custom, he said that the Princess Lichnowsky, wife of the former Ger- *man ambassador in London, had left iewelry and other valuables when she} ‘hurried from London with her hus- band at the outbreak of the war, and that the English government had lat- | er sent this property to him by a courier to be delivered to the Prin- cess.

The uniform of the American soldier, instead of be ing an insigna of dare and do for the country, is be ing desecrated by its use as a shield and protection to slackers. “My position is that no man withir the draft age, and physicaly fit, should be admitted into these noncombatant branches of the } service, either as private or commissioned offieor, if 4 men under or over the draft age en i be found equally competent to per: } form the duties. | “In my judgment, such men ean by i found by the tens of housands, will { ing und ready to undertake the per. | formance of such duties.

This story was told to Dr. Alonzo \Taylor of the United States food ad- ministration and De wpartane it of Agri- culture. Dr. Taylor was attached to the United States oubaney at Berlin during most of 1916, and under Am- was bassador Gerard had neutral inspec- | tions of German prison camps i charge.

To Whom Reports of Disloyalty Should Be Made. Charleston, S. C.—It has come to ple “ail to report suspicious and = - loyal acts or manifestations of « patiy for the enemy, becavse of a certainty as to the proper official to} approach, It is very important that the pov ernment should have the assistance of all citizens in detecting enemy pro pagenda or suspicious activities of individuals, and you will do a servic« in notifying your friends that any communication addressed to “Intelli gence Officer, Headquarters South- eastern Department, Charleston, § ,C.,” will reeeive attention transmitted to the proper official of the government for investigation. The names of informants will not be di vulmed and there need be no fear, the part of anybody, of veting trouble in eare suspcions prove unfounded, Informants shovld indicate the inte to ix na as well as the time and pl-ce.

It is just to state instances of glass having been found in bakery preducts | are extremely rare; the national food | administration states that no orman- | way has been found; and the official }goycrnmment report, issued under date of Apr’! 8, stated that of 200 reports of glass in food, investigated by the }war and navy intelligence bureaus and the Department of Justice, only one such report was found to be true. It is easy for rumors wot started in these war days. When you hear one examine it and investivrate before accepting it or starting it on.

Last autumn Dr. Taylor was a member of the American commis: | sion sent abroad to further our co- loperation in the war, and dealt partic- ularly with the problem of food. The point of the story above is the different erent ons thi it raay be put upon it. Reger ted simply as an- other interesting insient into the de privation which is now believed te prevail in Germany, it would be taker j by the average American ne wspaper ‘reader as an insight into distressing conditions ‘now prevailing in Ger- many. Dr. Taylor, however, takes another view, It is an instance the necessary rearrangement of condi- tions in countries at’ war. Wars are fought, won and paid for out of in creased production, coupled with say- ings. During the past year American people have set a new re- cord in their subscription to govern- ment loans. As a nation, however, we are stil more or less under the im- pression that money saving alone ‘suffices. That is not enough. A man, vho in normal times would be justi- fied in buying three hats each year villin war times probably have to get | long with two. Tho hat maker will manufacture the three hats just the same, but one of them will be sent to south America in exchenge for ver with which to make army truck ires, or nitrate to make hieh explo- sives. The ‘vhole basis of ‘rade is re-arranged to rive other ‘Sountries things which we can make chat are unobtainable from the coun ries with which they forr. erly trad- | ,ed, so that we may ‘“mport in return | ‘raw materials vitally necessary for | war. The demands ofethe army anc aavy fer weapons, clothing, food and | every sort of supplies, coupled with lestruction and shortaee of wool, cot- ton, metals, chemicais, and other raw } materials, nece: rangement of ‘onsumption production.

In the first part of not a few set last the fall the great drama, but not The Land- in the game that it has not engaged in True, it did not arbitrarily fix any date for the close of the war and its readers will bear witness that it has not essayed to forecast events con- cerning the war-all of which are pure speculation, The Landmerk did “not expect a war of consequence at the outset and it was so sure that civ- lization and Christianity were far we have seen come to pass, that in the first weeks of the struggle it would have named months instead of years for the duration of the conflict, and ‘only a few months at that. To talk then of two or three years seemed unduly pessimistic. But we are in Sight of the end of the four year pe- ¥iod and the end of war seems, at this hour, farther removed than at any ‘time in the past. Those of our fellow eitizens who, in the spring and early Summer of last year, set tht fall of 1918 as the close, were unduly opti- Mistic about the effect of America’s ‘entry and could not foresee the events ‘in Russia. Russia's collapse is one thing that did not surprise The Land- mark, although it hoped that country might not be given over to Germany 80 Nearly in its entirety as has been the case. While the hope is cherished that events unexpected may terminate the war earlier than now appears proba- ble, it is the opinion of this paper that “time-setters” would do well to name 1920, to be sure of a reasonable gin, and not be too sure about ; and if the end should come in 9, so much the better if-it comes earlier than expected. “Mr. R.

Alexander, the Charlotte et and preacher, cays the light 1 the heavens Tuesday evening was- n't any meteor at all but is a sign, as explained in Luke, 21:11, of “His coming” and the end of the devil's reign on earth. The Scripture says “Great earthquakes chall there be in divers (many) places, and fearful sights and gréat signs shall there be ‘from heaven.” The earthquake in California, followed by this sign in the sky, Mr. Alexander interprets as a literal fulfillment of that Scripture. We had much greater carthquakes 30 in California about ten years ago beside which the one of fast week was nothing, but the war being on it ‘suits Mr. Alexander to find the signs right. _ The attempt of the British navy to seal up the harbors of Zeebrugge and Ostend, on the Belgian coast, is an important stroke at German subma- Tine operations, these places being used as submarine bases. The meas- tre of success attained is not yet clear, but it is apparent that the. work will give the Germans considerable trouble and that the operations of the ‘submarines may be considerably cur- tailed. German oficials have confess- ed that the submarines have been un- able to attack the American troop ships. This ¢onfession of failure and smash on the submarine bases are round for belief, some writers thin! a turnin the submarine war'ars will put the submarines on the fensive, That New Orleans bunch, deme in@ some assuratice that the bill to fis @ price of cotton at 20 centy would @efeated, or the sale of Liberty would be affected, ignoring the that a wilt t6 fix the price of cot- ion. at 40 cents had been introduced; hat one was as likely to pass as the and that neither are adminis- jon measures, is a fine illustration e depth of patriotiem.

Meet- ing Called For Sunday After- noon, Correspondence of The Landmark. ; Does any one ask, what institution is referred to as the Statesville Syn- odical College? The answer is, that may materialize for Statesville, if the necessary conditions are met. At a meeting of the Synod of North Carolina in the city of Greensboro re- cently, it was decided to establish at least one Synodical Female College, and a committee was appointed and authorized to receive bids for and |o- cate such an institution, At present the Presbyterian Church in North Carolina has ro Synodical } seemed to offer the remedy. In a mil- College for female education. There itary court there are none of the de- are, however, four Presbyterian fe- lays that so often block the law's ‘ale colleges, which are under the . iurisdiction or supervision of certain course in the civil courts and delay Presbyteries, all of which ave more justice. or less local in their influence and But on sober reflection we must patronage. Now it is proposed to }eoncede that the President | Not only is there grave doubt as to | the constitutionality of the proposed | law, but in character, as the President says, “it would put us nearly upon the level of the very people we are fight- jing and affecting to despise. It would | be altogether inconsistent with the i spirit and practice of America.” When the blood runs hot and the feeling of hate takes possession, al) |of us would be law-breakers if yielded to our feeling. Often, proba- thly in the majority of, cases, the vie |tims of mobs what they i richly deserve, but that does not ex- cuse the mob, and as lawlessness be- | gets lawlessness, the action of the |.mob in the execution of criminals who i deserve death is as dangerous, if not | more dangerous, to the peace and j safety of society, as the act of the jeriminal. | Therefore, while the court martial welt quickly and promptly dis- | pose of the disloyal, it would at the ‘same time tend to build up military leourts that would be. dangerous. }t is | not sympathy for the offenders, but | the proposed method of dealing with ithem is too dangerous a precedent. ! The President’s opposition has set- tled the court martial bill, and it is | well, The duty -devolving upon our | citizenship is not to spend time in de- | nouncing the disloyal and the govern- /ment for not bringing them to trial, | but to aid the government by helping i to secure evidence and speed up the we only ret is right. | establish at least one distinetly Syn- ; odical College which will be under the jurisiction of the Synod and draw patronage from the entire State and any town may put in a bid for the location of it. It is the opinion of some who. are in close touch with this matter, and who know something of the pros- pects, that Statesville has a good chance to land this institution with- in her borders. She has the centra! situation; the splendid climate which distinguishes the Piedmont section from all other parts of the State; a strong Presbyterian constituency, a fact which will be considered where- ever the collewe is located; atid last, but not least, it has Mitchell College as a nucleus, an institution with an old and enviable record to its credit. Now any place that will get this jeolleze must offer a bonus that is worth while, and in this particular it \is believed that Statesville possesses |s0 many good things that are not en- joyed by any other place that is like- | ily to enter the race for the college j that she has a magnificent opportun- jity of. getting an institution located here that would be an asset of ineon- ceivable value to the town and ecom- munity. The possible magnitude of a Synod- ical College under the jurisdiction and patronage of the Synod of North Car- olina, may be somewhat realized when we remember that there are nearly 500 churches, about 60,000 communi- cants, with an affiliating constituency of probebly 800,000; and about 240 ordained ministers of the pospel in the Synod. With such a foree back of an in- stitution it should be something great. Think for a moment what a ‘colleve of such mavnitude will mean for the town in which it will be lo : : cated. If Statesville should get it or ‘ neinade ot. ! ' trial of real and not IMAG nary Oo there would possibly be anywhere fences. Many of the loudest critics fyom 250 to 400 pupils brought into of the failure of the government to ‘take action against alleged traitors, are not willing to bear witness about ithe things they have heard, or make | report to an officer. | Another thing is that while hatred |of our enemies is natural and proper, | we must not allow the feeling of hate | to so take possession of us that we ‘forget to be just. Many of the re- ports we hear of disloyalty may not be true. We should be sure to have {the proof, before making charges, 80 [that injustice or injury may not be | done; and above all we must guard |against becoming so filled with ha- tred that we should be tempted to lengage in the deeds of frightfulness by which the German military forces | have shocked the world and have sunk below the level of barbarians.

The telegram, which came from the New Orleans cotton ex hanwe and the chairman of the Lib- ty lean executive committee in New Orleans, asks reassurance as to cot ion priee legislation «nd says, “We do not believe that such ill considered and ruinous legislation can be adopt- ed by Congress.” Chairman Lever of the committee on agriculture expressed an inability to understand why so much atten- tion had been paid inthe South to the Emerson bill, whereas cotton grow- ers and speculators Wave apparently failed to note the introduction of the Goodwin bill for 40-cent cotton, Representative Emerson introdue- ‘ed hisscotton price bill about the time the Senate considered an amendment ito the agriculture bill for $2.50 /wheat. His proposal of 20-cent cot- ton was met by a counter proposal by Representative Goodwin, of Arkan- sas, for 40-cent, cotton. “Both bills were referred to committee and had ‘been practically forgotten. | woe ence temenennn te PRISONER BOUGHT BOND.

Then there would. necessarily, bea very larwe and efficient body of people con- nected with the teaching force and management of an institution like this, which would make a powerful contribution to the religious, intellec- tual and social life of the town. Furthermore the opportunity which the young women and girls of States- ville would have to attend an “A grade College” at their own door, and thus save the enormous expense of going away from home to obtain an leducation in a high grade institution would be immeasureable.

He |may even think his claims are justified. * You read the advertisements, so you know that makers, as a rule, are not over modest in that regard. f If you believe them all, they all make super-cars, In your experience, that theory doesn’t hold, Maxwell is different. We never claim anything we cannot prove. As a matter of fact we never have claimed anything for this Maxwell that hag not already been proved in public test and under official observation, Maxwell claims are not therefore claims in the ordinary sense ~they are state- ments of fact—proven facts. They are, in every case, matters of official record attested unter oath. For example: The famous 22,000-mile Non-Stop run was made with the Maxwell every minute under observation of the A, A. A. officials. That still. remains a world’s record—the world’s record of reliability. That particular test proved about all that anyone could ask or desire of a motor car. ‘ Among other things it still stands the world’s long di tance speed record, -: a + . a ; as Pa Just consider-—-44 days and nights without a stop, at an average speed of 25 miles per hour! ‘ And that, not by a $2,000 car, but by a stock model Maxwell listing at $825, You will recall perhaps that a famou® high powered, high priced six in a trans- continental trip made 28 miles average over-a period of five days and eleven hours. Now compare those two feats-—one of less than six days, the other of 44 days. You know automobiles-which was the greater test? Js there any comparison on grounds either of speed’or endurance? Proves you don’t need to pay more than. $825 to obtain all the qualities you can desire in a motor car—-if you select a Maxwell. For that Maxwell Non-Stop run was made, not on a track but over rough country roads and through city traffic—-average of all kinds of going. And—listen to this. ; condition of the Maxwell at the end of that great stroke of eleven on a certain morning, the car ity Hail, Los Angeles, for the Mayor to break the i+ So certain were we of th: feat, we announced that at would stop in front of the seal. Five seconds after he had pulled the switch plug andstopped the motor after, the 44 days and nights 1s running, she was started again and off ona thousand mile jaunt to visit various Maxwell dealers. : How is that for precision—-certainty of action? That incident brought a storm of applause from the assembled thousands. Hill climbing?---this Maxwell holds practically every record worth mentioning—~ especially in the West where the real hills ere. continuo The Mount Wilson record——nine and ‘one-half miles, 6,000 feet elevation!—was taken -hy a stock Maxwell. Two months ago a 12-cylinder car beat that record by two minutes. _ Then—three days later—a stock Maxwell’ went out and beat that 12-cylinder tétord by thirty seconds! Pretty close gsoing for such a distance and such a cliimb—wasn't it? : So Maxwell stiil holds the Mount Wilson} honors. . ‘ i i ; : Ready to defend it against all comers too, fat any time-—-a stock Maxwell against any stock or special chassis. Economy—also a matter of official recortl.’ Others may claim-~Maxwell proves. Thousands of Maxwell owners throughc tit the United States on the same day averaged 29.4 miles per gallon of gasoline. Not dealers or factory experts, mind jou, but owners—thousands of them— driving their own Maxwells. Nor were they new Maxwells--the cont ¢ st was made by 1915, 16, and 17 models, many of which had seen tens of thouseoads miles of service—three years’ use. Nor could they choose their own road or weather conditions—all kinds were encountered in the various sections of, the country. : Good roads and bad-- level country e%¥d mountainous régions—heat and cold— sunshine and rain—asphalt and mud. { And the average was 29.4 miles per ;¢ allon! ’ There’s economy for you. And un(¢.er actualjaverage driving conditions—not laboratory test. But that isn’t ail. The great@st achievement of this M& xwell was in its showing of speed and relia-' _ bility and economy all in the samc run. In that 44 days-and-nights Non-f} top run, though no thought was given to either speed or economy, it still ren) ains a fact of official record that the Maxwell averaged 22 miles per gallon and 2'j miles per hour. Now you know that speed costs~'- and that economy tests are usually made at slow-speed—closed-throttle, thin- ¢ nixture conditions. You know too that you can obt ain economy of fuel by building and adjusting for that one condition. Speed you can get by building fc - speed. Any engineer can do that.

' PROBLEM OF T LERS, Tt is estimated @évernment agents who have conditions in some of the larger towns of the State, that there are 60,000 people in North Carolina who, should be at work and are not at work, or at least are not fully em- ployed, This matter was under dis- cussion in Raleigh a few days ago and suggested, with considerable approval, that an extra session of the Legislature be called to enact a law that would reach all the idlers. it's a pity such a law could not be enucted, for the present statutes were not designed for abnormal conditions such as now exist and do the ground. ‘The extra session, how- ever, will not be called and we dqubt if it would be wisdom to call it. There is grave doubt that an extra session of the Legislature, called for the pur pose, would enact the drastic, iron- clad law desired. The Legislature will be in regular session in less than a year, and in the meantime public sentiment, bluff and local ordinances can accomplish much if the will wet right behind the idlers. Our present laws are not enforced as they should be and more rigid ones would be useless unless they were en forced. Municipalities dinances that will reach many of the cases it is hoped to reach under new State laws. With rigidly enforced, and public sentiment t was not cover % peopie can enact or strict ordinances, idler who has any will so strong that an self-respect left soon become ashamed, or afraid, or both, to he seen standing about in public places, there would doubtless be a material increase in the working forces. Under our vagrant laws, one who can show that he has means of sup- port can’t be punished. That doesn’t cover the case. In these times, when there is so much to do and so few to do the work, every able-bodied male, within certain limitations, should be required to work at some useful em- ployment. Under “an order in coun- ceil” in Canada recently, it was pro-) vided that every male between the ages of 16 and 60, physically fit, un- less in sehool, shall be regularly en- gaged in~ some useful occupation. This disposes of the idle rich, the idlers who live off their relatives and all others who try to dodge work. It’s a pity that during this war period Gov. Bickett and the Council of State haven't the authority to make such an order, that would have all the force of a statute. Those Who Hold Wheat to Be Reported. Food Administrator Henry A.

Now the King - Means case comes up again. As a sequel to the famous case growing out of the killing of Mrs. Maude A, King, widow of the late James C. King, Chicago millionaire, near Concord August 29, and the sub- sequent notable trial last December of Gaston B, Means, her financial agent, who was acquitter of the charge Of can and one having murdered her, a sensation was sprung in Concord Saturday, says a dispatch to the daily papers. when it developed that a State war rant had been issued by Justice of the Peace C. A. Pitts, for the arrest of (. B. Ambrose, who was prominently identified with the development of the case against Means last fall. AmbréSe is charged with misrepre- senting himself as being in the serv ice of the United States Department of Justice during the months of Au- gust, September and October, 1917. It is understood that the warrant was iseued at the instance of parties rep- resenting Means. In connection with the action against Ambrose, it devel- oped that parties close to Means are advancing the theory that Mrs. King was killed by a German spy, who is alleged to have shadowed Means dur- ing several weeks prior to the death of Mrs. King, and it is asserted that a warrant will very probably be is- sued for the arrest of a “mysterious” German who was in Concord for sev eral weeks prior to the killing of Mrs. King and visited Misenheimer spring, the seene of the tragedy, a day or two prior to her death. From the same source came the statement that the bullet which killed Mrs, King is now believed, om the strength of investiga- tions made since the Means trial, to have been intended for Gaston Means, person with the woman at she was shot. interesting the only the time Another Mrs. King with the clerk of the court of Cabarrus county, Mra, Mary C.
