"PO WIN THE WAR QUICKLY. LEITICAL PULL, “war benefits’—army camps, tion is a part of the outburst. ginia and South Carolina are and the complaint is that ferent to the welfare of their Washington. ceed on the The complainers idea that war To end the war quickly and end it) ‘the field the largest army possible | within the shortest time that the men | it necessary is probable that the number of sol- | one and a half millions, and hundreds of thousands are being hurried to the | training camps to take the places of | those sent overseas. The temporary success won by the allied armies on the western front! might have suggested the idea that: the number sent abroad and those in| training may be sufficient; in other | words, that there might be a slacken- | ing of war preparation in the hope that a larger force will not be neces- sary. Fortunately for the country, for the world, the government takes no such view. Instead of a slacken- ing of effort there is a speeding-up in all branches of the service. More men and then more will be sent to training camps and to France. If it be true that Germany is beginning to weaken, then to make victory certain and a permanent and satisfactory peace seoure, there must be a force that will be able to enforce every de- ‘mand, for if one thing is settled be- yond ecavil it is that Germany recog- | “nizes no power but that of force; and it is up to the United States to fur- nish the force. It is apparently as certain as any- tended beyond 31 and possibly below 21. The men of draft age in class 1) are about exhausted, §ng those in the deferred classes-— ‘those who have dependents or who are - prosecution of the war—the limit will be extended to get more men for class 1. Those within the new age limit ‘entitled to deferred ‘classification will! The purpose is to secure fighting men, if possible, from the ranks of the unmarried and those without dependents, or who are not otherwise entitled to deferred, classification. It is wisely reasoned | ‘age to secure men of this class than, to take those now in deferred classi- | fication. Furthermore, by extending the age limit, the new men brought into deferred classification will be un- der government control, as they are not now, and the “work or fight” or- der--engage in necessary work or go to the front—will apply to them. This will help the labor situation. Take this as settled: There must be no slackening of effort in the prosecu- tion of the war, To make victory. cer- | tain and peace secure, increased effort is necessary. Those of us who have “not done our best, must go to the lim- it; those who think they have done all ‘they can must‘do more,’ That applies “to all lines of endeavor—to saving and “eonserving and sacrificing in every way possible to lend assistance to the | prosecution of the war.

In fact it is probable that more ma- chines would have been purchased had the dealers been able to supply them, On account of the reduction in ‘the output of machines as a result of the war, dealers have not been able to supply the demand, While a few peo- ple have not purchased machines on acount of the war, and a very few have interned machines as a luxury, the in- crease in the number that the great majority have either considered cars a necessity, which they are in many cases, or have not felt called to deny themselves the luxury in cases where the purchase was a real luxury. By act of the Legislature of 1917 it is provided that the automobile license |tax, less the cost, shall be expended on the roads of the State by the State Highway Commission. For the neces- sary expenses incident to the purchase of number plates, postage, clerical as- sistance, ete, the Secretary of State is allowed 12 1-2 per cent. The cost for the past year was only a little above 8 per cent. The additional 87 1-2 per cent is placed to the eredit | ters, operas, moving picture shows, | of the State Highway Commission, by the State Treasurer, 17 1-2 per cent to be used as a maintenance fund and 70 per cent to be expended in» the county from which it was originally paid. In number of maehines and amount paid, Guilford county heads the list with $16,412.26, with Mecklenburg a close second with $15,952.00. Wake, Forsyth, Buncombe and Pitt follow in the order named. The amounts due the road fund of counties in this section of the State from the automobile license tax is as follows: Tredell, $5,193.75; Alexander, $500 above $8.000 was agreed to by the $795.75; Alleghany $307.50; Ashe,| committee.

Graham's road tax from this source is only $20, Mitchell’s $25 ;and Yancey’s $27.60. Clay is next with $50. It has been a matter of comment | that many machines run without li- cense tags. That fact apparent daily by the many machines that car- ry “License Applied For” tags. “Li- cense Applied For” can be obtained in so short a time that nearly all the machine owners who operate cars with these tags simply advertise the fact that they are wilfully disobeying is | cause officers do not take the pains to enforce the law. It should be borne ;in mind in this conneetion that in all | such failures to comply with the law the road fund of the home county of he owner of the car is deprived of that much money. In other words, | these license tax dodgers are not only law-breakers, but to contribute to the upkeep of the roads over which they operate their cars. Failure to comply with the law gravated by the fact that they are ‘unwilling to help maintain the roads, without which maintenance their cars: / sould not be operated. ‘Telephone Rates Left Government, | The corporation commission has dis- |missed the petition of the Southern | Bell Telephone and Telegraph Com- ;pany for increased rates for 12 of the y to the (88 TAXES.

The estimate of Anierican casualties is but the keen- accepted as largely true. They are keen in attack but clumsy in defence, says the German writer.

The bulletin continues: “The proprietor of every hotel and cafe in the State has been furnished ‘with a copy of the rules and regula- tions and more than a year has been allowed for changes to be made so that they could conform with the quirements. The per centage that has done so is small, “Inspectors for the State Board of Health have just completed the in- spection and scoring of an additional number of hotels, totaling in number 46.

A maximum of 25 pounds of eugar, or less, in the discretion of the county food administrator, is allowed for canning purposes strictly. To buy sugar for canning a certificate must first be obtained from the food ad- minigtrator. Retailers are allotted so much sugar to sell each month, the amount being based on the amount of business done by the retailer, Fre- quently the retailer sells his allot ment of surar before the month is out and can get no more until the first of the next month. So that when the purchaser gets his certificate to buy sugar he frequently can’t buy because ithe local dealers have sold out. ft It has been frequently stated, and most housekeepers know it to be true, that fruit can be canned without su- war and sweetened when eaten, when it is hoped sugar will be more plenti- ful. Mrs. Jane 8. McKimmon, director of home economics, has been working on recipes and formulas in which cane syrup, sorghum, corn syrup, honey _and other substitutes may be used in ithe place of sugar. In the meantime, says Mrs. MeKimmon, frait may be canned without sugar. “Of course suvar increases the palatability of eanned fruits,” says Mrs. MeKimmon, “but any fruits may be, canned with- out sugar. Sugar adds nothing to the | actual keeping qualities of fruit and a large number of housewives have nev- er added sugar at the time of ean- ning. Preserves, marmalades, jam and jelly, of ceurse, require sugar or satisfactory sugar substitutes, but even where fruit is to be used for marmalade or preserves, it can be canned now and made into marmal- ade, jam, jelly or preserves later when sugar is more plentiful; or, in ease the shortage should continue, when the fall crop of cane syrup becomes available,” MARKET REPORTS, 7 Statesville Produce Market.

That sheep husbandry is profitable and that North Carolina, especially the piedmont, and western sections of the State, offer exceptional advan tages for the sheep industry, are facts which intelligent investigation and observation seem to have settle! be yond question. The demand for wool and mutton is more urgent now be- eause of the war and the opportuni: ties for profitable business in the sheep industry, which would at the same time render a public service, are most inviting. The advantages of the sheep indus- try are being stressed. Many meet- ings to discuss the subject are being, held in the State and it is hoped that publie Nnterest is being aroused so that there will bea revival of this neglected but important branch of our agricultural industry. Discussing the growing of sheep of course brings on the age-old question of the dogs. The doy is the enemy of the sheep and long experience has shown that the sheep industry gener- ally cannot be made profitable as long 8 the dog is uncontrolled, In fact _ the dogs—the wandering canines that are of no value—are practically solé- ly responsible for the decline of the sheep industry in North Carolina, and so long as the dog is uncontrolled the | industry will languish. An effort is) being made to arouse a sentiment that | ~ will secure, through the next Legisla-| ture, the enactment of a sensible and, sane dog control Jaw. Such a law) should be passed, regardless of the) sheep industry, The wandering, un- controlled dog is a nuisance, a menace | and a destroyer of foodstuffs. Chick-| ens, eggs and other valuable food- | stuffs are destroyed by this class of dogs, which are not fed when they have homes, and are thus compelled to forage for a living; not. to mention the danger to human be-| ings and the loss of live stock as a re- | In the face of all this, in the years | to come the sentiment that hus allow- | ed the dog full play and would hear of | no restrictions for him, will bea | cause for wonder. Yet the sentiment | is so strong that it is doubtful if the! next Legislature will pass any sort of | an adequate dog control law. It is) hard to understand the sentiment—| for that is all the dog has to support | him—that stands for the uncehtentiad | dog in the face of the facts. Every- | body is willing to admit that the dog! is a useful animal in his place. The. affection for the dog is understanda-| ble, for his loyalty will move heart of | stone. His usefulness in many re-| Spects is not only admitted but that) he is a desirable and even a necessa- | ry part of human economy in some | eases is also cheerfully admitted. But | how anybody can contend that a dog, | which if necessary at ai! is necessary | in few cases in our modern life, | should be allowed to run at large, un- controlled, no matter how much dam- age he does, is past understanding, The right of anybody who can feed a _ dog to keep one, or a dozen, is not questioned, and there is not now, nor has there been, any purpose on the part of those who seek the enactment of a dog law to deprive the dog-lover of this much-cherished right. But the right of the dog-owner to allow his dog to run abroad at will, to trespasd upon, damage and destroy the prop-! erty of others, is emphatically denied, and all the sentiment for the dog that | has been put into languaye since the dawn of time, can't get around that proposition. It is a question of hu- man rights va. the rights of the dog: and those who stand for the uncon- trolled dog, who oppose the enact-| ment of any law compelling dog-own- | ers to restrain and contro! their dogs as they must restrain and control their live stock, take the position that the rights of the dog are superior to the rights of the man; that the dog Pa a right to go and come at will and, What seemeth to him good, regard. | Tess of the loss or damage to the ‘property or person of others. That is the situation, and no amount of bab- bling about the loyal dog and the chil- dren's playfellow can get around it.

It was not at first be- lieved that the offensive was more than local, but day by day it has de- veloped until} it has exeeeded our fond- est hopes for the time. The time for such an event, it was hoped and be- heved, was near, but that it would be on such a large scale was beyond ex- pectation. Day after day the retiring ‘German armies were expected to be able to reach ground that would ena- ble them to offer successful résistance They did try that, persistently and determinedly, many times—-and failed. The victo- rious allies, the Americans always conspicuous part, have swept on and on, The “strategic re treat” (term often used to cover de- feat) of the Germans has become so precipitate that quantities destroyed and many bearing a vast of stores that could not be were left to be captured; thousands of Germans have been kill ed and captured, It is a great victory, the full extent of which does not It is the first real defeat the Hun has suf fered since the beginning of the war. He has been beaten back before; he has failed of his objectives before and was temporarily defeated; but the facts will undoubtedly show that no thing that ha: to the present disaster for Germany Bot let’s not overestimate. This vic tory, glorious as it is—and it’s diffl- cult to write or speak of it conserva tively--does not end the war. There's more work to be done~ -mueh more but we're on the road to final victory. Reuter’s press correspondent, writing from the front, says: “So far as I can see, yet appear. gone before compares the enemy jeounted exactly the cost of his retire- ment, and paid not a man or a gun above his margin, As a_ soldierly achievement it moved one to admira- tion, and cheered as one must be by the confession of weakness which the retirement implies, there is nothing in the retirement on which to. build ex- aggerated hopes of the future. By far the most honeful feature of the whole business is the difficulty of explaining it on any other hypothesis than that the Germans are much shorter of men than we had supposed.” Buncombe cotinty commissioners believe in giving county aid to the conservation of foodstuffs. Last Year at home,jand this year the county bought cans | by thé car load and sold them to indi- viduals. at cost. county agreed to furnish the sheet iron, wire netting and all other met- al-material necessary, zen, to construct nine community dry- ing plants in as many different local- ities in Buncombe county, the people of the communities to furnish the re- mainder of the material for the plants. Asa result of this county aid, which might be neither necessary nor proper in normal times, but which is eminently proper under present conditions, much foodstuff will be saved in Buncombe that would other- wise have been lost; and The Land- mark believes that Buncombe has set a good example to other counties, where such help may be necessrry.

The Landmark has expressed its) objection to the idea of the simul-| taneous prayer movement, semi-offi- cially ordered by Governors, etc., the | objection being founded on two) grounds-—viz,: That while beautiful in theory, the custom would la: gely be a lip service and a mockery; and second, that our civil authorities—our Governors, mayors, etc.—have no right to tel) the people when to vray; that while the suggestion is innocent enough, it has been construed by many as a sort of order which should be obeyed. Some of the newspapers, for instance, have been much disturb- ed that the Governor's request is not more generaily observed, The Preshyterian Standard, discus- sing this movement. finds that the resolution passed by the United States Senate suggesting the simul- taneous prayer, ¢ontained this para graph: “What is called the Angelus, the practice of prayer for one minute at noonday for the success of our coun try in the existing war, is. beingy ob served in the District of Columbia and some other parts of the United States,” ete. Inasmuch as “The Angelus” is a svecial prayer offered in the Roman Catholic Church, addressed to the Vir- gin and in memory of: the annuncia- tion, the Standard is naturally dis turbed about that and sees in it wn in isidious attempt of the Catholic Chureh to inject its religious customs on the country under the guise of pa- trietism, The Landmark has no con cern as to whether the prayer Catholic, Protestant, | Mohammedan (and the custom is Mohammedar) or what not, but the fight for world freedom also includes religious freed- om and any mixing of affairs of Church and State are at all times to he resisted to the limit. \}i the foregoing is preliminary to saving that the following further tufoment from the Standard fits The Landmark's views exactly: “Of course there is nothing new in » simultaneous prever hour, The Mo- hammedan, even though his hands are stained with the blood of — his fellow- man. will pause long enough in his butchery to pray at a stated time five times daily at the call of the muezzin. In Romish countries, the Angelus bell, rung thrice daily, calls the faithful to prayer. i “The idea appeals to us in a senti-| mental way, and the picture of a busy world pausing in its onward rush to send up a few short petitions for our boys in’ France, is a very attractive one.

"ages cosaae os in the trenches. Everything they wear is wool, one soldier requiring the waol of 30 sheep, or about 190 pounds ff wool, The keeping of more than one sheep to every three acres of land, or an aggregate of more than 40 sheep in any flock, is not recommend- ed, To have more on a farm prevents rotating of crops and sheep, which is necessary to prevent the stomach worm among the sheep. Growing sheep at this time is profitable and patriotic, he said. If enough sheep were raised ina community it would be possible to make car load ship- mets to market and make the indus- try more profitable than having to ship a few by express. The dog is the chief reason why more sheep are not raised, he argued, and he spoke of the effort on foot for a law that will con- trol the dog. In the meantime, he pointed out, the sheep can be protect- ed from the dog by the right kind of “@ral to keep them in at night, when the dog does most damage. Mr. and Mrs. F. T.

How a “woman and baby” accounted for a U-boat is told by the correspond ent. The submarine ordered a vessel to surrender and fired a Tew into her. The boats then left the ship leaving on hoard a woman whe ran up and down the deck, a baby in her arnis, as if mad. The U-boat eile the vesee! and the woman hurled the “haby” into the open hetch.

When the ex- men at Richmond went on several weeks ago bceause of a ite as to and hours, the| cal draft boa’ immediately sent eards to the calling them for ar- service. strike was adjusted day and a half. The matter of re- ng the military service cards was up to Gen. Crowder, who held “draft boards had no authority step in and since the military reg- ions are not intended to be used to affect such labor controversies, un- employment by reason of strikes will, not be regarded as such unemploy-) ment as will cancel their exemption; or deferred classification.” | The notice sent the strikers to go! back to work or get into the army doubtless had much to do with the) prompt settlement of the strike. But one can readily ihe justice of Gen. Crowder’s position. Immedi- ately following a strike, all strikers subject to the draft are notified that they must go to work or get into the army. That would mean, without in- _ quiry into the justice of the strickers' claims, without reference to the mer-, its of the case, that military power! is directly used to compe! the dissat- isfied employe to accept what his em ' ployer offets; either that or go into| the military service.

Hardly. Capital offences are not bailable. It was the fact that the charge was not 80 serios as a cap ital offence and the fact that Travis | was admitted to bail in « compara tively small sum next day, that mov- ed The Landmark to remark that his treatment was an outrage. The very fact that Travis was so soon admit- ted to bail in a modest sum is evi dence that the government does not regard his offence as one that ranks with treason, Hence The Landmark does not yet understand the reasons for holding him “incommunicado” the time of his arrest. Of course reg- ulations are different in war times and The Landmark does not need to say that it stands for the enforce- ment of any regulation, no matter) how inconvenient or irregular, that is necessary for the successful prosecu- tion of the war. But so far the gov- ernment has not found it necessary to interfere with the ordinary provesses of the courts; and unless it is a mili- tary offence, that calls for trial by court martial, citizens have not heen denied the privilege in*court usually accorded them in peace times; cr at least The Landmark has not heard _of any such cases up to that of Tra- vis. In the hundreds of cases it has seen reported under the espionage act, all have been admitted to bail. But all this has reference to the method of procedure and not to the’ offence nur to Mr. Travis personally. § y ay i ape | . .

Because he been a citizen of prominence in North Carolina and has heretofore enjoyed the respect and confidence of the pub- lie (which was indicated by his hold- ing important public positions and recent earnest effort, backed by the North Carolina Senators and mem- bers of Congress and by seemingly a large part of the press and people of the State, to place him on the In- ter State Commerce Commission) is no reason why he should have receiv- ed preferential treatment. entitled to the rights that. If the action in the Travis case urating a sort of campaign of fright- grafting, profiteering or fences, then The Landmark will be disposed to applaud, provided all are treated alike. It has advocated the firing squad for aggravated cases of profiteering such as developed in the Travis’ of- fending. The government has de-| But if Tra- vis is guilty of any wrong-doing what- | soever, he should receive the full lim- it of the law ¢nd The Landmark will fact that he is a man of standing and influence calls for more severe pun- ishment for him than if he were ig- norant Bill Jones from the backwoods. But The Landmark would have equal and exact justice for all, and with the lights before it, it thinks BRA VIS. at | similar of-) that | eee ee NDING AGE LIMIT. By degrees we realize the necessi-| ty for extending the provisions of service measures. The recom-| mendation of the government that) ithe draft act be amended to include | all persons between the ages of 18 and 46 (the idea is to include all per- sons who have not reached their 46th hirthday) would have created a storm of opposition a few mcnths avo, but the indications are now that it will pass with little opposition. The primary reasons for the ex- itension of the draft age are (1) 'to get more men for class 1 and to war avoid the necessity of taking men from the deferred classes men whese status has been investiyated and who, it has been determined, are for various reasons better suited for other work than the fighting line; (2) to enroll the millions that will be reg- istered estimated at 18,000,000— under the age extension, so that all not found fit for the fighting line will be placed in deferred classes and will be subject to government orders as to employment, and their activities can be so directed as to secure best results for the weneral welfarc, in war aid directly or indirectly. Considered from this viewpoint |there is certainly no well-founded ob- jection to the draft extension, unless it be that it is improper to extend it to boys under the age of 21. While the urmy volunteer age has for years been from 18 to 45, and any boy who reaches the age of 18 is privileged to voluntarily enlist, The Landmark has been disposed to object to the ex- tension of the draft age to those un- der 21 unless the demand tor man- ‘power became so acute as to make it which seems improbable. new bill, however, it is place those under 21 found eligible for class 1 on a wait- |ing list, to be called only if found ab- |solutely necessary. This, and the jgreat advantages of having the | youths of 18 to 21 under control so that their activities may be directed, 'and their training for future service necessary, | Under the | proposed to } essary, modifies the objection. While the extension is | Sweeping, if the law is enacted as recommended, a comparatively small per cent. of those registered will be }found eligible for class 1 under ex- i isting regulations. |yood many may be found, but it has been demenstrated by ; that as age advances, long before it 'wets to the point of being called “old ‘age, physical deterioration that un- fits for high-grade military servite can be found j; men, Of course men make soldiers after a fashion, very | wood soldiers ina few eases, but i“young men for war” is the rule on experience. | cessity demands older men go and do only in ease of actual need. ‘The mil- ilions who will be placed in deferred | classification, however, and whose ‘services can be so disposed as to give) ‘best results, will add immensely to |the war efficiency at home and con- ;Sequently to the efficiency of the men in the field.

So if the rapid rise of anti-German senti- ment, extending to the elements in the bolshevik faction which had been charged with surrendering Ruesia’s independence to Germany has been larwely attributable to the presence of the allied forces in northern Rus- | sia, that fact is declared by officials, while very welcome, to be purely” in- cidental. : So far no American troops have been landed at Kandalaska.

With the capture of Fismes and the advance of the French at various points on the right bank of the Vesle it becomes more than ever probable ‘that the enemy though hie may put up a stiff fight, will first eventually re- tire altogether behind the Aisne. But in any case the pocket which stretched — below the Marne is obliterated and the victory of the allies is so complete and important it is well worth while to re- view the operations from the begin- ning.

When Lloyd George says that “the loner the war lasts the sterner must be the economic terms we impore on the foe,” no one better understand: the gravity of his warning than the astute business men of Germany itself. Of economic penalties there are two kinds. Governmental ‘war after the war” as proposed by the Paris confer- enee would be a dubious matter. No Kuropean power, unless utterly crush- ed. will submit to such terms as Ger- many has temporaily imposed on Rumania. For the record, peace must he peace « But retaliation by individuals is an other matter. The lonrer the war lasts, the More Llandovery Castle: Germany sinks, the more field hospi tals she bombs, the more cathedrals she ravages, the more men and girls she drags into slavery, the more atro cities she commits or condones in her allies—nay, the more a long war fixes attention upon the iniquities of the German political system—the greater will be the number of those who will buy no German goods and have no lealing with Germans for years to come. ee Fewer Than 1 in 20 Die. The War Department authorizes the following statement by the chief of staff: “In connection with the casualties among the forces in the American expeditionary Marne-Aisne offensive it should be stated upon the basis of the officially attested experience of our associates during four years of this that of wounded soldiers sent to hospitals for treatment fewer than one in twenty die, “Of all the soldiers sent to the hos pitals only 45 in every 1,000 die include those who die of disease well as those who die of wounds. all soldiers wounded in action more than four-fifths return to service, many of them in less than two months It is necessary to discharge for physi- cal disability only 14.5 per cent.” A LT TE Te war These as Of Propose Increases in Surtaxes. Surtaxes on all incomes above $200,- 000 were increased with a maximum of 75 per cent on all above $5,000,000 by the House ways and means committee in its consideration of the $8,000,000,- 000 revenue bill.

The sit- vation is thus concisely stated by the Washington correspondent of the Bal- timore Sun: It seems that the Supreme War Council, upon which this country is represented by General Bliss, after a thorough survey of the whole war situation, decided that it was impera tively necessary. for the United States to throw a greater force than originally nlanned into the equation. This council has been in almost eon tinuous session since the heginning of: the German offenive on March 21.

The situation in regard to reinforcements makes this necessary, the order stat- }ed, and “our old fault” of attacking in ' too dense formations, and paying too jmuch attention te holding or regain- ing trenches, villages points of territory simply as prestige, are mat- tera to be avoided, the order states.

It that German regiments must their against weflying airplanes, as German ait craft resources are so low that they cannot fight gff the enemy while en- gaged on reconnaisance work. This evidence of the reduction in German manpower and aircraft re- sources is not only very gratifying but it confirms allied opinion that the break in the Teuton's strength has begun, which will of necessity be fol lowed by a weakness in morale, Tem or states provide own defence porary success may be gained here and there and the struggle may be long protracted, but there is a “comforta- ble hope” that the high tide of Ger- man success is past; that the Central powers have reached their Gettys- burg, and that henceforth they fight only to defer the final allied victory. The statement that Gen. Foch, the al lied =commander-in-chief, has won from the Germans in three weeks what it took them four months to gain at a cost of 700,000 to 1,000,000 men, is the ground for the “comfort- able hope,” which is strengthened by the fact that these gains include a number of strateric points, mainly railroad lines, which will give the al- lies an enormous advantage in the | movement of troops and supplies and in maintaining lines of communica | tion. eee temein halen ciemsa ire tment naanan ate saad POLITICS. “Mr. Proctor, a Republican — politi clan from Salisbury,” says the Boone Democrat, has been in Watauga chibs.

HELP THE SUFFERING. The Landmark urges a sponse to the call for aid for the suf- fering Jews in the war-stricken zone. | It is the call of humanity, the call for the relief of suffering, and — that should be sufficient for a prompt and generous response. But there are ad- ditional reasons. There are no more charitable people than the Jews. In every call for help, they are always tributors. In proportion to popula- tion and wealth they doubtless give more to charity than any other class of citizens. And their are practically all for non-Jews. Usu- ally the Jew takes care of and asks no help from others, while at the same time he is a most generous contributor to ethers. Now that, for the first time, a general call is made for help for the Jews, shall non-Jews be Surely not.

THE MANPOWER BILL. | The government's manpower bill, to ;extend the draft age from 18 to 45, makes special provision for.the edu- Seation, after the war, of the men un ; der 21 who serve in the army or navy. /An amendment to the original bill | not only provides that the college boys who are drafted shall be given jan education at government expense door of the college to the boys who are drafted that did not have funds to go to collerye. They are to be sent, at government expense, to colleges approved by the vovernment, for the same period as they served in the ar- jmy or 'navy. The “work or fight’ {regulations are made more = dras- ti¢ and those placed in deferred classes who do not keep busy at such employment as the government | deems necessary either for the public /good or the prosecution of the war, are automatically placed in Class 1. ‘Organized labor is threatening to fight this section, one of the best in the bill, because it savors of labor conscription.

But the feminist army, with the able assistance of the Commander- ‘in-Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, is ina fair way to ride down opposition in the South. Suffrage, like prohibition, is finding that “the long way around is the short | Way across.” Through the amend- ment of the Federal constitution, the West and North will ram votes-for- women down the throat of the recalci- trant South, just as the South and West propose to impose prohibition on the great States of the North. , And in candor it must be admitted that the qualification of voters may be drawn within the purview of the Federal authority with less of offense against the genius of our political in- stitutions than can the control of pure- | ly local liquor traffic.

A lady who knows the conditions over the country says that she would be willing to see the draft age low- ered to 18 years in order that the bovs might come under discipline. Her idea is that family government of late years has been generally newiected and that in many cases there 1s no discipline at all. She says that if the draft age is lowered to 18 years, the idea of discipline and of coming’ un- ‘der authority will at once be: present- ed to millions of young Americans. Her idea is that the young men who jare net killed will be made much bet- | ter by the war. “WHOLEHEARTED SERVICE, Salisbury Post.

Charles A. Leonard Tells How the Y. M, c. A. is Mak- ing Them More Contented and Better — Statesville People Referred To. Correspondence of The Lamdmark, Somewhere-In-Prance, July 5 With picks and shovels, fighting the |Germans in morta! combat as they jeame forward in a reent onslaught isome of them using effectively such ‘few guns as they were able to get their hands on, Chinese laborers, working among the soldiers at one » 80 divisions, in France,| of the most dangerous sectors on the | front, showed that they were not only ‘useful as workmen, but also as fipht- era, This was the story told us this | week by a truck driver who had just jcome in from the battle. That the iChinese laborers are valuable as lworkmen in the war 4s evinced by | the fact that so many are alrealy em | ployed in France, akeut 200,000, and ; because others are sought in China | for this work. Of course these Chinese cannot do as much work to the man as men of western nations---some do not stavc well the new climatic conditions, some }are lazy, others are naturdlly weak on |eceount of being underfed all their | lives at home-—but many have proven ‘to be valuable, efficient workmen, Those whoa have chronic cases of ill- | ness are sent back to China. The work of the Y. M. C. A. among these men makes them more contented, helps keep them well, provides for their necessities, raises their physical, in- | tellectual and moral being, an: in- | creases their efficiency. | With these workmen here to do } much of the heavier constructive and ‘reconstructive work, such as ditching, building roads, clearing flying fields, constructing railroads and digging jtrenches, some also working in the }munition factories, more of our sol- | diers are free to do the hieher forms | of labor and go into the fighting lines. The Y:. M. C. A. has realized from the beginning of their work in the Amer- ican camps that it was our duty to do something for these laborers. Up to) jthe present, however, there are only two missionaries working among the several thousand Chinese in Ameri- can lines. Two Chinese students from | American have, however, recently ar- jrived to help in this work. One of these is associated here with me. He is Mr. Z. Ying Loh, a graduate of our Shanghai Baptist college. He took his master’s degree at Chicago uni- versity last year, and is now here un- til the termination of the war. Mr. Loh is a great help in this work, es- pecially the educational work. Most of our work ror the Chinese here at this big American camp is }eonducted in a large tent furnished iby the Y. M. C. A. until a building | (het) can be secured. There is a | class of some kind every night, and often as many as four classes are go- jing at the same time. ‘There are ‘elasses in Bible, Chinese, English, French, history, geography and math- omer gage Copies of the gospel of Mark in Chinese recently secured, ifrom England are now used in the | Bible classes. These four classes are jconducted in addition to the reyular | religious services Sundays and meet levery Wednesday = and Saturday nights. There is alsv a norma! class | for Christians in the teaching of these | iclasses. The Bible classes are at- tended by increasing ~umbers of earn- lest Chinese. who with to become bet- , ter men and know the way of life. | Owing to a lack of text-books it | Was necessary to prepore short essavs selections from the few Chinese books available to he used in the study of Chinese. The “We visited the Jackson Training | selections relate to wood citizenship. jimprovement of labor, development of In} jphasis is on such practical English | ‘and Freneh as can be of immediate More wish to study English, than French. A number learned a good deal of French hefore working for the Americans, having been in France for more than. two years. These are encouraged to continue the | study of French. The history and geography work, on China and! | France, is in lectures onlv. Many are | jlearning for the first time to work “it simple problems in arithmetic. A, class for Americans desiring to learn fpractical Chinese ig now meetiny twice instead of once a week. In ad- dition to classes there is also every ‘night during the week a special lec ‘ture, concert, moving pictures, optican lectures or some other form (of entertainment. The meetines are | well attended and have good effect stere | Nothing we are doing for the Chinese is more appreciated than selling to them the various can- teen supplies carried by the |American Y. M. C. A. These are supplemented with such other desira ble goods as can be sceured elsewhere Every thing is sold at cost. The re ceipts for June amounted to nearly $1,222. We estimate that at least / $263 was saved for the Chinese over , what they would have paid elsewhere, besides making then. contented and keeping them away from town during | | the week, One of the saddest things we have }seen since coming to France was the | burial of one of our Chinese laborers jin a quiet French cemetery. The poor / fellow had died after a severe case of ;Mneumonia. We accompanied — his ifrienda to the grave. where a brief |funeral service was held in Chinese jand in French. We never saw a more genuine grief anywhere in China than was shown by the laborers at this funeral.. It means more to a Chinese than to a weaterner to die in a foreign land and be buried there. This is the only time in China's thou- of years’ history that so many glow have at one time left country, except 800 years ago when the Tartars made an capedivice into Asia Minor; but that was on land while these Have crossed the seas in times. of peril and have gone into a! foreign land a long, long way from ona of this man want- grave a cross and bead flowers such as those used by the purchased these for! we contributing the FR E in with beads and ne into the They "eat 7 ev ’ |THE i “CHINAMAN “IN “WAAR. much tinue on had us make pic a | tures of them, at the grave, some to he sent’to his people in China, others to be kept by them, | One of our Chinese fell into the riv- er recently and drowned.

At the church the funeral party was met by the priest and his attendants and led into the church, where the Catholic rites were said. At the close of the burial was blown over the grave As the American guards returned from the grave the great body of Chinese nionw the read removed their hai saluted. This was much apnprecirted by the Americans. The service made a profound impression on the Chi- nese, most of whom had never before can and seen a Christian funeral, On their return from the grave many stomped atthe Y. M.C. A. tents to attend Sunday morning services. It wa excellent opportunity to imnress the Chinese mind some of the deeper things of life ond death and the cer tainty of salvation through Christ our Lord, for the Chinese avoid the men tion of death and have little hor vond the grave. Mr. Loh reminded his fellow-countrymen of the consid eration thus shown by the neaple of the two great sister rvenublics with whom they are working. The Chinese raised among themselves a large con tribution for the old mother and fath er of the deceased, Without inward conviction of — sin accompanying a change of heart mor- al teaching alone accomplishes little with the Chinese, so not only in the Sunday services and the Bible classes but in lectures, entertainments and conversation, everv available oppor tunity is used to deenen the spiritual life of these men. We missionaries, who claim to know the Chinese better then any one else, realize that their only hove is Jesus Christi. As in Chi ya we often find people who all their lives have sought veace of soul bit did vot find it until they became Chris- ‘ans, so we find here many who have he same longing; and we rejoice to an on he sy that not a few have become Christians. These are increasing in iumber and our Bible classes are yvrowinge. The Chinese eniov singine, and neny whe never before heard the vos- nel gre singing hymns of praise. One ‘ellow whom we met at his work the ther day, said: “Be sure to always ‘et me know when there is roing to he singing. It lichtens my work and nakes me hapnier.” This week a ‘arge crowd had assembled to moving pictures. When it was found ‘he machine would not. work, the Chi- nere were asked whether thev nvefer- ‘od a grraphophone concert with Chi- reve records or seme other form of aipment. The quick reply was ~“nter ‘presch to us’! We rejoice te say that there has heen considerable improvement in the ‘eneral morale of the Iaherers. There ‘s less gambling, quarreling, and a ‘etter snirit alterether. The Chinese volice and others who know assure s that this is trie and that it is ‘arvely due to the work of the Associ tion among them, The leaven is envening the whole. Formerly there wns homesickness and they were con- itantiv asking when they would. be sermitted to go home. One night we vent to na fellow who was eryinge and found him calling “Woa niang! Woa niane’!—Oh! for my mother, my mother!

The so-called billion-dollar budget appreved early this year by Director General McAdoo for railroad improve- ments and equipment has proved in- sufficient to meet war needs and it has been inereased to $1,097,398,000, or $156,000,000 more than the original lageregate of budgets of all federally controlled roads, This was disclosed in a detailed report of capital expen- ditures authorized to date. , Most of the increase was made nec- essary by the growing need for cars and locomotives. Originally $486,- 000,000 was authorized for purchase of new rolling stock, but this has been | raised to $655,686,000 by huge orders placed by the railroad administration. ieeeeeeeneneetnanmeneemnemeemmemenmmmmnnel Grove’s Tasteless chill Tonic festores vitality and energy by purifying and en- tiching the bleed You can soon fret ite Strength: ening, Invigorating Effect.

Statesville wentlemen who were in Union county recently to help in the War Savings campaign, encountered a religious sect known as the “True Lights.” The outstanding doctrine of this sect is that you must not re- sist evil, Their attitude js entirely passive, They will not voluntarily go to war nor in any way help, even in- directly, anything that contributes to the war. But if agents of the gov- ernment choose to take from them anything they have, they will offer no resistance. Of courn- they wouldn't buy any War Savings certificates, but one of the canvassers said that he wasesure if he had caught the man's hand, put a pen in it and signed the fellow’s name to the pledge, he would have offered no resistance; and the pledge might have been redeemed by deliberately taking any money or property the fellow had. — Aecording to his deetrine he would have offered we vesistance. Kut the cnvassers didn't wo that far and “True Lights” didn’t invest in War Savings. Some of that faith were caueht in the draft. ‘They offered no resistance to being taken but they deelined to go voluntarily when ealled. They also refused to pat on the uniform, their relivious teachers having told’ them that was particularly objectionable, It is related that one of them, sent to camp, Who declined to change his ¢iv- ian wear for the army uniform, was foally compelled to make the change in a manner unexpected to him. He was to be transferred to other quar- ters and while he slept his civilian clothes were taken away and a uni- form left in their place. Next morn- ing he was called and informed that he had to march, and was also told that he could put on the uniform pro- vided or fall in in the “altogether,” as Misa Trilby would say. He put on the uniform. Dr, Chas. Anderson, who was one of the Statesville party in Union, se- cured some of the literature of the “True Lights” and read it with some interest. The author of the doctrine of the sect. says, among other things, that he knows ‘here are no children in hell and he dovits if there are any in heaven. What hecomes of the chil- dren who die in infancy is not made clear, but as evidence of his belief that there sre no children in heaven the writer advances a rather surprising argument. He says that if all the babies who die would go to heaven it stands to reason that there would be so many more children than adults in the celestial city (he doesn’t think so many adults go there) that it would be impossible for the adults to look af- ter the children; and it is clear, the writer further argues, that God couldn't be bothered with the care of vreat numbers of littl children Think of a statement like that being put into cold type in this Twentieth century. There are folks and folks in this world. It would be interesting, however, to know whether the “True Lights” be- lieve that children at death are sud- dently transformed into grown folks, or whether they pass into nothing, as this writer holds that they do not go chu church. week, home.

Frank H. Simonds, special vo of New York furnishes his paper the following in teresting review of operations alon, the battlefronts: * March 2}, the Germans launched vreat offensive in Picardy. We have, then, even undey the most favor weather conditions, lived through two-thirds of the campaign of 1918. It is pos now to review with a certain measure of exactness the fact ind figures of the past operations and to measure the slow but sure turn of the tide which has brought up at present moment to a situation wher all the valuable ground lost in the first four months of the campaign has been retaken in the fifth and the inval uable advantage of the initiative has rre spondent the lribune, their uble ible passed to the allied commander-in chief. Thanks to the Russian collap e, the Germans ;ossessed on the west front ut the outset of the present campaign a superiority over the French and British of some forty divisions, hav ing available 220 against 180. They | had, in addition, devised a new meth od of attack and were thus able to score one of the wreat victories of the war in the March offensive. Ajauin in April in Flanders and in May in the Tle De France, along the Aisne, they won victories hitherto unprece dented in the war of position In all these hattles there was the monoton US record of successes achieved by the massing of superior numbers at the decisive points. At the battle of the Somme in Mareh, the Germans used 110 divisions against Si of the allies, and in tho first thrus 10 ayainst 15; at the Lys, in the kian ders fighting of April, 40 German di- Ssacond visions against 45, but the allies brought up an approximately equal number after a long delay and an initial disaster, At the Aisne in May, 20. German divisions overwhelmed seven French and British At the start of the campaign the Germans had 200 divisions of their 220 available for active werk, Of these 110 were used at the Somme and 40 at the Lys. A dozen more were reported among the forees at the Aisne, and three in the battle of Compiegn@ in June, when the Ger mans Were promptly checked, © Thus when he began his fifth offensive in Champaigne in July, the German had | already used 165 of his 200 division of available troops at least once, He had, in fact, used at least half of then twice and 26 of them three times. And in the defeats of the second Marne and of the third Somme the rermans has used 70 uivisions and 35 respectively, and in this number have; been included not less than. 20 of hi remaining fresh divisions He had ‘ast week not more than i5 fresh di visions in reserve, and he has unques- tionably drawn on these’ already to | ‘tabilize the Somme front. In a word; looking at the mathematical side of the problem, the Cerman, who had 100,000 fresh iroops organized into 200 divisions on March 21, has now not more than 15 divisions of un- used troops, numbering not more than 175,000, Of the 185 divisions whieh have been used, most, 1f not al! now been used at least twice. Of the 500,060 troops, approximately a million have been at least temporarily removed by casualties, and half of this number permanently by death or disability or capture. “Fo replace this! wastage the German has been obliged to draw upon depots and call up the young and the old inferior manifestly io the units of last March. Now by contrast what is the allied | story? France and Britain had 180 livisions against 220 last March and | they had also five Belgian and two Portugese divisions, To this might be added the single American division available in March. Today, after five months, the recall of French and British divisions from Palestine, Salonica and Italy, the | transportation of metropolitan parri sons from Britain to France, has giv- en the French and British alone at least 190 divisions, while the five Bel- wian divisions remain. As for the Americans, we had the value of fifteen German divisions, 170,000 men, actual lv engaged in the second battle of the | Marne, and at that moment the equiv alent of ten more on the line, Sinee that time we have hegun to constitute a new army and several more divis ions have taken their the front, In sum, where 190 Freneh, British, | Belgian, Portuguese and American! divisions faced 220 German divisions | on Murch 21, at least 220° British, | French, American and Belgian divis- ions are now in line, and at least 25 additional American divisions are ap- proaching a state of training where they can be employed. Thus the German has lost in five months all the advantage he original- ly possessed in’ supereior numbers. Since his divisions are actually smaller than those of each of his op- ponents, he has now fewer men on the front, although conceivably an equal | number of divisions, and this inferior- ity is bound to become more and more | marked as our troops arrive at the front, for the German made his maxi- mum effort in March and cannot even bring his existing number of divisions back to their old strength during the present campaign. Measured by events, the same facts | are revealed, In March the German | success was enormous and rapid, In| April his second thrust was an im-| mediate success, As late as May 27, his Aisne drive gained much ground and many prisoners. In these three operations he claimed 145,000 prison- ers, 2,000 guns and a conquest at least of 2,000 square miles. All this achievement was in tne period ‘of his full strength and our inferiority. It lasted from March 21, the the calles of ike Sue the hd of the third battle of the lane the of have place at 1 | steamer last ltain of the tanker, | he | all we understand by destiny. | purpose, lsiderable.

TEAL IRI TS SOREN EOE RHE BO SHEEP FIGHTING DOGS. Mr. C. E. Troutman of Troutman, who has enlisted in sheep growing, as told in The Landmark today, is not only a progressive and patriotic citi- gen, but he had his good sense with him when he put on a brand of sheep that will fight dogs. It is useless to attempt to grow any other kind of sheep in this country so long as the roaming dog is allowed to roam. Uf the idea gets abroad, however, that there are sheep that can and will pro- tect themselves from dogs, the dog lovers, who prefer that soldiers and ¢iviliangs wear ¢otton clothes, cover with cotton blinkets and eat less meat vather than the freedom of the worth Jess dog should curtailed, doubtless use that as an be will argument made to secure ar trol law. They may even want a law to protect their dogs against the fighting sheep. There should be no Jet-up. howe @r, in the effort to secure the eliinina tion of the roamime dow, for the pro tection of human beings and fowl and ewes and other food products, a Wellas for the protection of the Sheep. But while this good work i: being brought to fruitio is we trust it will be. intending eep raisers will ' do well to provide thonwelve with the brand of sheep that will fight dogs; and if there is ay ything by way of education and training that will make these sheep more officient fighters of dogs, if they can be given any weapons of offence or defence in addition to their that will be of vervice, the time and mon- ®@y required to fit the sheep as train- Warriors in the fight of sheep vs bes, will be well spent, Meantime, We further service to the sheep, and things and people, to whom ming dogs are a nuisance and natural ones, Ce : his own vine and fig tree + belong. iy to misuse pow jyouryg men of 20 to iat the foot of class 1 last class is one estimated to he very | hesitated to volunteer because of an} their | preferred to accept the summons of | children, or men with wives depend- | automatically exempted upon the an- | “against the laudable effort now being | adeyunte dog con- fe, by helping to enact a dog *°Vernment war business i law that will compel the man the impatient ones were ready to mob’ the roads to lie down with the dogs , °"" congressional delegation recently people and in many with the fleas to keep his °" the ground that the State was get- | patrons are unreasonable in their de- ; not misuse her enst,” says Dr. W. 8S. secretary of state for cents .

The overssas record was made while American soldiers were sie pany in the heavy fighting in _ the Marne salient, when they were frequently compelled to sleep and eat under the most primitive conditions, “That this record is truly represent- ative of the general health of the troops is shown by the combined re- which indicate 2.8 per thou- gfand as the average death rate from ase during the last two moriths Thuring the Mexiean war the annual death rate for disease was 100 per 000.

Paul Leonard of Statesville, chairman of the comme: cial economy committee of the North Carolina council of defense, and offi vial representative of the conserva- tion division in this State. The tele- rram instructs Mr, Leonard to impress the merchants of North Carolina that “reduction of service to one delivery a day over each route, limiting of special deliveries, restricting return privilege to three days, and organiza tion of co-operative delivery systems” are a definite request to every mer- ‘hant in the United States. The instruction of the war indus- tries board to Mr. Leonard asks that he “make it plain to all of the retail merchants that the adoption of the plan of one delivery a day is a definite, specific request of retail merchants throughout the country.” Continuing the board says: “It is not expected , that there will be any deviations from | this.

That the many millions of Red Cros knitters may know the plans of th Red Cross for future knitting Georg EK, Seott, acting manager of the na tional organization, has issucd the fo! lowing statement: “When the war. industries boar some time ago advised the Red Cros that future preduction of knittin; yarn would be greatly reduced, we im mediately commenced to purchase a’ yarns suitable for our knitting. A a result, we have today in stock o on order 1,460,000 pounds of yarn fo distribution to our chapters. It. i hoped that we may obtain some addi tional yarn from wool unsuitable fo government uses, “The expected total, however, wil be considerably below 10,090,001 pounds used last year. While the tc tal of yarn we can secure is being de termined, we are studying how to use supply to produce only garment: which are most essential. When : conclusion is reached we will announe: our full program of knitting. “In addition to this stock of the Red Cross has on hand 1,600,001 sweaters, 124,000 mufflers, 384,00t wristlets, 228,000 helmets, and 1,528, 000 pairs of socks--a total of 3,674, 000 articles.

DR. ALEXANDER AGAIN, Speaking in Forsyth county, Alexander, president of the State |Farmers’ Union, declared that the | government should meet the expenses lof the war by taxation. He is in fa- jvor of the “pay as you go plan,” he says. Dr. Alexander ought to know ithat it is impracticable to taxation, in-so short a time, all the billions required for the conduct of the war. But if he honestly believes that can be done, he knows it isn’t going to be done; he knows that the government has adopted the bond is- sue plan for raising part of the mon- ey and he knows that a fourth bond issue is near at hand. He is bound to know, therefore, that the only effect his talk against war bond issues can have will be to encourage those who ure influenced by his argument to re- fuse to subseribe for war bonds or to help in the bond campaign, All ef which means that Dr. Alexander is helping to hinder the prosecution of the war to that extent.

But 2 change is coming, and the wise man will lay by something for the rainy day, When the millions of young men now in the government service return to their homes, trained as they will be to tackle difficult jobs, they will find hundreds of thousands of young women formerly only men occupied. Em- ployers will have found that the young women are efficient and dependable and will be loath to give them un, consequently good paying jobs will not go begging and only the most efficient will be sought after.

C. ORO RDIIACACICO ODO” OCE 1s THOK CEIO OR EO ARE } : Ladies at ay wig Found dame or ’ The Albemarle correspondent of the | Greensboro News tells in the follow-| ing how the ladies failed to make | ood ; } “Mrs. Elva C. Harris, superintend- ent of the Albemarle Normal and In- | dustrial Institute of this place, two teachers attending the teachers’ in-| stitute here this week, and three or) four other young ladies in company) with them, had a blood-curdling expe- rience while on their way to the mov- ies, when they came in contact with a large billy goat on South street. As the teachers slowly strolled up South street, they were discussing an amusing incident which had taken place at the teachers’ institute during the day's program. This was about Superintendent of Schools KB. F. Ed- dins, and Rey. Mr. Higginbotham hav- ing amplified the story recorded in me-of the children's school books of the “Meeting of the Two Goats,” one bad goat and the other a good goat, and how they acted when they met each other. This was done at the re- quest of Professor Allen, in charge of the institute, who was discussing the advisability of the amplification f children’s stories. Mrs. Harris was saying that none of the teachers pres- nt at the institute seemed to be in- ‘lined to act the goat for Professor Allen upon his request, thereby fore- ne Mr. Eddins and Rev. Mr. Higgin- botham to volunteer their services to vlay the part of the two goats. Miss Mann, who was not present at the teachers’ institute when this little in- ‘ident occurred, had just remarked that if she had been present she would have had the nerve to act as me of the goats. Just at this june- ure the thing about which this story | elutes happened. The party of ladies was just passing by where a large roat which had eseaped from one of } he nearby barns was quietly feeding | upon the green grass growing be- tween the curbstone of the paved} street and the sidewalk. Seeing this | large goat quietly feeding upon the rrass in all of his seeming innocence, Miss Mann laughingly remarked to he party that “there is a goat now ind | will show you how I would have implified the story.” As she said his she ran sideways in the direction ff where the goat was feeding, who wvidently thought that she was look ng for trouble and proceeded to meet ver half-way. Of course, when the roat bleated, stood on his hind legs ind advanced on Miss Mann in_ this omewhat threatening attitude, she ‘airly flew back into the party of la- lies. Then the goat sailed into the sunch and proceeded to deal in such ‘rightfulness as to make even a Hun it up and take notice. He chased Miss Kirk around a telephone pole a lozen times or more. He ran Miss Mann across the street and back, ran he other ladies up a steep embank- ment and chased two small boys, William Morrow and Vanee Huney- ‘utt, up a ladder which was standing: nearby, while the women screamed “or help which was not to be had. See- ng that something must be done, the adies all made a bee-line for the gate- vay of the home of R. G. Brooks, and lid not permit anything to get in heir way until they had landed safe- v on the frant perch, when some one resent on the porch took a_ stick and ran the goat off. The boys then uietly eame down from their perch nd again joined the party on the front porch of the Brooks home, when o the delight of all none was. found o be injured except that Miss Mann ind Miss Kirk were so frightened it | Was some bit before they were in a : ondition-to proceed to the movies.” NEE NRNES Approve Loyalty Test. | Colonel’Theodore Roosevelt and Al- on B.

AW correspondent of the Greensboro News furnisnes his paper the fol! in regard to the epidem- ic of ty fever among the Ger- mans interned at Hot Springs: The surgeon general's office con- firmed reports of a scrious epidemie | of typhoid fever among the German war prisoners interned at Hot Springs, N. C.. but announced that measures had been taken te check the disease. Sinee the war department assumed control of the camp about a month ago, there have been nine deaths among the prisoners, according to records here. Because of inadequate hospital fa- cilities at Hot Springs the surgeon general has decided to remove the sick Germans to general hospital No. 12 at Biltmore. So far as reports here go the epi- demic is not attributable to any neg- lect of the war department. It is due} mainly to the carelessness of the | prisoners, heretofore congested condi- | tions at the prison camp and the fail- ure of many of the prisoners to take the vaccine treatment Hetetofore vaccination, it is Said, was optional | with the German prisoner. Now it} has been made compulsory. } It is explained that about a month } avo the war department assumed ju- risdiction of the Hot Springs prison camp, theretofore under jurisdiction of the department of labor Late in July typhoid fever appeared and dur- ing the week ending July 27 nine cases were taken to the hospital. An in- spector of the medical department was at once sent to the camp. For the week 4% cases were admit- ted to the hospital aud the week fol- lowing 47 cases were admitted. The latest official report from the Hot Springs camp was dated August 12 and showed that more than 100 cases in all were in the hospital, It was then decided that the ill mer should be transferred to the general army hospital to obtain treatment, ar the medical corps had no regular stafl on duty at the prison proper. The typhoid epidemic is believed to have been caused by the digging of five wells, to be used as auxiliary wa- ter supply. The prisoners were di- rected that this water was not for lrinking purposes, but was to be user for bathing purposes, of sewerage, ete Nevertheless it appears that some ol the Germans partook of this water although there was nothing to- indi. cate at the time that it was polluted The pollution is believed to have come from the river carying the refuse of Asheville and other towns. One United States soldier, a guard is listed among the fever patients. The Hot Springs camp has beer somewhat over crowded, about 2,506 Germans being interned there.

These bonds are not convertible after November 9, even if subsequent series of bonds shoujd be offered at a higher rate. Therefore, the conversion — privilege must be exercised, if at all, on or be- fore November 9. The bonds to be delivered upon this conversion will hear interest at the rate 1% per cent per annum from the last interest date, May 14, 1918, or June 15, 1918. No payment of accrued interest is re- quired.

Federal Food Adminstrator Hoover, who has recently returned from a visit to France and England, reported as follows on some of his observations there: “The harvests in Franee, England and Italy are better than one could expect in the tremendous drain of manpower to the front. This is due to the women.” Of the foodstuffs which must export, Mr. Hoover said “After shipping is set asics America for the transport of the American army and fer military purposes of the allies, a difinite amount of. tonnage is made available for the transport of the pro vram of food for civilian consumption, The purpose of our European food conference has been to determine the amount of foed upon which health and morale can be maintained and to de termine the nearest nossible sources of supply of this food to the allies “Upon North America falls the bur den of food supply. While Canada can export 100,000,000 bushels of grain this year, the major part of the allied pregram for. next year falls upon us. “We have elso ‘to feed our own enormous army. We can do it if we simply have the will to live with every economy and to waste nothing.” LTT TNE WILSONNE EDITH VANDREECK. A correspondent of the Associated Press, w riting from Paris, says that “While avenues and bridges are be- ing named in honor of the Président of the United Sates and hundreds of newly born French boys christened with his name, It remained for Mad- ame Julie Vandreecken, of Ognes, to adopt the name for her newly born , daughter who has just been baptized Wilsonne Edith Vandreecken, The child is the eleventh o° Madame Van- \ dreecken,.”’ It was situated in the} SOLDIERS’ MAIL.|Wants State to Have Wheat to North Carolina Couneil of De- Spare.
